Click "Install ROM from SD Card", then choose this file (GalaxySBoot.zip or whatever), don't choose any "Pre-installation" options, and just click OK. Since it's not named update.zip, it shouldn't conflict with ROM Manager's "process" (for some people, ROM Manager needs to lay down its update.zip in order to ensure that when booting into the stock recovery it is able to load itself via said file).

I hope this helped.
[Vibrant Android Development] demo23019:
Yea i was doing it directly threw clockwork with the original filename..locate file on SD card..ect and wouldn't work, would just hang on updating.

I renamed it update.zip but flashed it threw recovery, not clockwork and it wouldn't work, Then did update.zip threw rom managers update rom and it worked.

IDK it was wierd never ran into that before

, thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] fit333:
Solid. Thanx
[Vibrant Android Development] FRuiTBoOT:
Love it! Awesome thanks for the work.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
No, thank YOU for the chuckle ... your avatar pic is painfully hilarious! Talk about "a picture is worth a thousand words" ... it deftly symbolizes our toiling in this forum.

To everyone who chimed in their appreciation ... it wasn't much work and it's my pleasure, really. I'm just happy that I wasn't the only one who could benefit from this.
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Thanks for this. Its way better than the Pink T-Mobile nonsense. I now feel more like a man. I think I just went through puberty. LOL
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Thanks! Going to try with the Bionix 1.4 version.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
It's that time of the year again ... I updated the original post to state that this update is compatible with UVJI6. You will have to re-root because all that stuff gets wiped out despite most, if not all, other apps and settings being retained.

ROM Manager's "Install ROM from SD card" automatic flashing process failed the first and only time I tried it so I went into manual mode (alternate recovery) and picked the file from there. It worked great.

Best,

DCC
[Vibrant Android Development] bimmerboii:
I decided to flashed back to stock bootup. Then I decided to restore a nandroid backup (clean backup without any flashed mods). Then now when i power up my phone I get greeted by the stock "pink" screen, then after that the Galaxy S (little squares) also shows up. What did I do wrong?

edit: ok i just realized that this is the stock bootup lol
[Vibrant Android Development] henreeg:
Question made before reading. Thanks to dcchristopher, it's been answered!
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
He he ... pfew, because I had no idea how the two could have merged like that! There are two animation (QMG) files, one is the very first start-up sequence (bootsamsung.qmg) and the other is the loop that plays until the system is ready to show the home screen (bootsamsungloop.qmg).

Glad it wasn't anything serious!
[Vibrant Android Development] bimmerboii:
Yeah for a second there i thought the bootup merged. But a quick youtube showed that that is in fact the stock Vibrant bootscreen. whew
[Vibrant Android Development] jeffeb3:
Is there a way to remove the sound? That's the really annoying part. I keep my volumes high, which is really annoying when I forget to charge my phone and it shuts off at two am.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
The startup sound file is called PowerOn.wav (in /system/etc) ... the shutdown sound file is called Shutdown_128.ogg (in /system/media/audio/ui).

If you shell into your phone as root, just do a "mv PowerOn.wav PowerOn.bak" ... just in case ... I don't "think" anything could really break by not having those files but it will be good to have the backup in the event that it does mess things up.
[Vibrant Android Development] bimmerboii:
Or you can go to Settings, Sound and display, System Volume and set it to the far left.
[Vibrant Android Development] akilleez1:

[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
This might come off as me preaching here, but I hope I don't come across as high-handed...

If you have a hardware button sequence locked Vibrant you really need to think long and hard about whether or not you should be messing with custom firmwares, ESPECIALLY NOW.

The last few leaked firmwares (JI2, JI4, JI5) are ALL RUNNING A NEW KERNEL. One that is not compatible with JFD derived builds. Furthermore these great new custom kernels provided by our awesome dev's (Voodoo, JAC, Kingclick, etc...) are not compatible with these new leaked builds. So the likelihood of you ending up staring at a really scary screen on your phone is skyrocketing, unless you have reliable methods to deal with that scary screen.

I've ran across numerous posts here today, with all the fervor over the JI5 Kies leak, where people have Clockwork Recovered themselves into a nightmare because they simply didn't understand these points. Even simpler MOD's (like a few posts I found today where people were installing the JFD version of the MobileAP mod on JIx builds and screwing their phones up) can lead to grief if you don't do your homework.

If you cannot reliably get into recovery *AND* download mode, please please be sure you understand the risks your taking if you fail to be careful and read the information that is already here. Granted, I know few people can keep up with some of us and our ability to soak up info like a sponge. Still there is a process of risk assessment YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE FOR when you realize you are doing things that you probably shouldn't be.

This doesn't mean I won't continue trying to be helpful. I just want to make it clear to some of you that you really need to think things through more thoroughly before you let your excitement drive you into a corner.

I vote for the following statement to be made a sticky in this and the Q&A Forum...

"If you are updating firmware on a phone, and you've already hacked this and that, tweaked this and that, modified this and that...whatever the case may be you should be prepared to have to Odin your way back to stock.

If you are not prepared to Odin your way back to stock (don't know how, have a hardware button locked phone, etc...) then you should really be asking yourself whether or not you should be customizing your phone to the degree that you are.

It's just about risk assessment. Most risks are known, but some are not. Furthermore there can be bad synergies between multiple tweaks, mods, and/or hacks that no one can easily predict ahead of time. So it's not about anyone trying to be elitist. The best way to help people is to help them avoid making critical mistakes."
[Vibrant General] ookas:
actually if u have a hardware locked phone, what you SHOULD do is call tmobile right now and complain that ur phone is defective and they'll send u a new one... keep doing this till u get a working phone, i did and i now have a phone that isn't HL'ed... only took one try
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Indeed!!!

The hardware locked Galaxy S thing appears to be a bootloader bug affecting more than just our Vibrants (some other batches of Galaxy S phones are affected) rather than a real hardware issue, so T-Mobile should be able to get these fixed readily. Not like we should care about T-Mobile here, but what this means also is that T-Mobile shouldn't be making a huge deal about swapping these out either.

I'd encourage everyone with a button-sequence screwed Vibrant to simply go to T-Mobile and get it replaced.
[Vibrant General] pdefazio:
Admittedly, I was one of those fools who installed the wrong MobileAp and also tried to go back to a nandroid that didn't work (different kernel - or so I have learned.) Bricked the phone. But I wasn't hardware locked so I was able to get everything back thanks to some really helpful people here on the forum.

I agree that all hardware locked phones should be returned. If mine were locked then I'd still be staring at a dead phone.

I would like to add that I am new to the android thing. But, I am not a software noob (i did software testing for a living). The thing is that I am sometimes impulsive and that leads to mistakes. Thankfully, I have a way to get out of the mistakes (ODIN and non-hardware locked phone.) I always know the risk I am taking and take full responsibility for anything I screw up.
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
How can I tell if I have a hardware-locked phone, without attempting to flash a ROM, I mean?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
you didn't unlock the hardware. You just simply rooted your phone. Hardware lock can not be unlocked and that's what this thread is trying to address. I have tried exchanging my phone from tmo once and the exchange phone they sent me still had the same problem, so i haven't bother with it. I wonder if i can just walk into a store and do an exchange since i got my phone from tmo online. Anyways, if you have a hardware locked phone, stick with roms that will flash through clockworks. That is the safest way, but keep in mind that there is still a slight chance of failure.
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
Never mind; I figured it out.
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
Man, I'm glad I read your post on hardware-locked problems. I didn't even realise this was a problem until after I dicked around with my phone a bunch, and then ended up reflashing with odin back to stock. I could have messed up big time.

My problem is that I can't replace my phone at all. I purchased a T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant online, brand new, unopened and locked for use here in Canada on the Wind Mobile network.

After hearing about this defective hardware I called T-Mobile, they said I have no warranty with them since it wasn't a T-mobile store purchase. Alright I guess. So they give me the number to Samsung USA,USA transfers me to Canada, I get transferred back again and this is what I'm stuck with.

My new phone has NO warranty, in either country. Both refuse to honour any sort of warranty, and refer to the other for support. I didn't think I'd get this sort of run around from Samsung.

USA says that because I live in Canada, I voided the warranty.,

Canada says that because it's a USA device, and I didn't purchase an international warranty, they won't touch it.

I'll just have to be careful what I install on my phone, and avoid Samsung products in the future.

Thanks for the warning
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
I wouldn't say your lack of warranty is any surprise. I don't know about Canada, but in the US, phone warranty is normally tied to the carrier, which means if you're not an active customer using the phone on the account that it was first activated on, you will have no warranty. Nothing special about Samsung here, all brands are the same.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
Other companies will do the same thing. Warranties are country specific, no?
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
I don't know how it works with mobile phones, but whenever I've purchased computer parts, the country of origin has never been a problem. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Still have gripes about GPS, and lack of 2.2 though.

Don't misunderstand me though, I love this phone. Just surprised about the hardware issues.
[Vibrant General] wi11:
I called Samsung today after tmobile rep gave me a number for warranty. After complaining and speaking to a supervisor, they said i could send it in and they would "fix" it. This is what they sent in the email.

Product Symptoms	: Technical Inquiry/Internal Menu/Software Reflash - FOC/No fee. The Samsung Rep said a technician would look at it.

I got a shipping label and everything.

I have one question. How should i go about reflashing to stock? can i just factory reset + remove superusers. please help.
[Vibrant General] mmilestone:
PC parts aren't as tightly controlled as mobile phones. That's the difference.

GPS and Froyo should be coming soon. I doubt if Samsung would let their best mobile phones fall behind by much. From the leaked firmwares popping up, it shows they're working on it.
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
OK...

I do not carry my device in a case I like the look of it. I travel a lot and watch movies on the plane off my device. I need something portable, small that I can use as a stand to prop my device on an airplane tray so I can watch movies off my device?

Any accessories or ideas?

Take a big cloth napkin or cut up an old sheet or something and get some dried pinto beans from the grocery store and make yourself a little bean bag chair for it. I've seen 'em sold commercially all over the place and it cracks me up that people will pay thru the nose and wait 2-3 days for it to ship when they could make one in about 20 minutes for a fraction of the cost

Where did this come from?
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
You need the keys which can be gotten from a packet dump.

Or you can grab it via KIES if this is where this came from. You can grab the temp file.
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
What he said

I have the tools just need the crc and encrypt strings to open it up

Once we have that we can dump it and deodex it. Also, other way to get it is to let it decrypt via Kies and then snag it from the temp directory

I'll believe it when I see it.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:

Hey haxvn hes talking to you. How did you get it????

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Considering there was no announcement, no OTA, and Kies is not for the US market, one can possibly make the assumption that these are beta releases which explains the fast second build. There will likely be a couple more before its done, but at least it seems like progress from Sammy.
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
if I could bet a dollar, id bet that this is a complete rom rather then an overlay so it wipes out more system data, that was the inharent bug it seemed
[Vibrant General] shardz:
alright i guess it wasnt a fiasco for me. i updated fine through kies. no bugs yet. everything improved for me. i was talking about a fiasco thru the other ppl's points of views when they couldnt update thru kies.

i would try kies again for an update but would probably prefer to wait for a more official release now. it seems samsung's dev team is rolling out some newer builds stepping towards an official release now.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
thats what im hoping. So, anyone flash this yet? If not im on it first?
[Vibrant General] Relikk356:
crc= 1caacea3

[Vibrant General] haxvn:
if you can see a download link of JI5, i guess they also have a JI6 via KIES also then we have the downlink link of JI6
[Vibrant General] ookas:
you cant flash it till someone figures out how to decrypt it
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Everyone chill out.

A) we need to know how the OP got this link.

B) if not kies, kyron is working on bruting it. He has the ENC key already.

C) Just chill. and please update the OP
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
Doesnt appear to be it, code didnt do anything whatsoever
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I still call BS on this rom Why would the op with only a few posts know about this?

Any weird **** usually comes from a noob. WTF....

We need some facts.. Where did this come from.
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
So for posters reference, as to validity.

YES this is a real build

No we dont have it unlocked to flash

No we dont know anything else about it

Yes I would love to have the correct .enc unlock code
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
How do you know its a real build?
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
AMEN! well said. update the OP! :)
[Vibrant General] blackerwater:
So what your saying is you just changed the 5's to 6's in the link and it worked?

Sent from my vibrant
[Vibrant General] ookas:
because it comes directly from the samsung website . . .
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
A) It came from samsungs own site, the very same site JI5 came from, that is owned and operated by samsung for Kies.

b) So far the encryption matches what was used for the JI5 build, doesnt mean I have the codes, but it does line up and seem valid.

c) It would take a rich and monumentally intelligent bastard to hack the worlds DNS servers just to prank us into believing JI6 came from samsung.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
where does it say this? Is there a sit? I just downloaded the link and its just a file? where on samsungs website is it?

I want to see the site... All thats posted is a file
[Vibrant General] Relikk356:
I'll keep trying. Sorry, that's what was listed per IZARC properties; thought it was worth a try.
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
Biggest help anyone can be right now is to do one of two things.

1) Get Kies to flash your phone (dont let it) and snag the decryption codes or the decrypted Zip file from the Kies directory once its available

2) Packetsniff for the codes coming from an ack in XML format for the codes so we know what they are
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Maybe you got different info from me, but I just got a download link thats all..

can you post the link to samsungs website?
[Vibrant General] ookas:
http://www.samsungmobile.com

now stop *****ing about it, and there's not gonna be a link that says "hey click me this is the beta non-released version of Vibrant's new firmware"

If youre brute forcing it I believe the string is 16 numerical
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
just google "fus.samsungmobile.com/Phone_Binary/9/" you'll see other builds for other phones.
[Vibrant General] Viralblack:
@OP Did you just happen across this via the website? Or did it show up in Kies? Without kies sending the codes to unlock we have to wait for brute methods, and it doesnt look like Kies is going to try to flash my phone

[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Unless Samsung is in a habit of putting 184mb files with no purpose on their own build servers, I'd say it's a real build. We could conspiracy theory our way to various ridiculous reasons why it's not a real build perhaps...but I digress.

As to whether we can decrypt it, whether it's stable, or even intended for public consumption, who knows. But those potential facts stopped very few from messing with JI2, JI4, and JI5....This is what we do! :)
