I think I know how we can force update of our phones but we need someone that got the update already to donate their username/pass that's used to log in to t-mobile's servers to pull. If you're willing to do it, do the following.

1. create a shortcut to DM so you can force update check

2. put phone in debug, connect to to a pc and execute the following 'adb logcat > dump.txt' and leave it running for a minute or so

3. go to DM and force check the update

4. after DM is done kill adb logcat and open dump.txt with notepad

5. look through the file for the following line

smlAuthMakeDigest SML_CRED_TYPE_BASIC..

6. post userName and passWord
[Vibrant General] grabiarz:
how about

find / | grep zip

?
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
MaxZach posted that he missed the update and he called tmo and they gave him this code to manually push the update *#*#2432546#*#*6 . If this is true maybe the right person with the know how can capture the update . I haven't tried the code personally .
[Vibrant General] JimDog:
Sorry, I meant "find not found" And when I try to pipe it to grep it says "grep not found" sorry guys, I think no root means I can't help.
[Vibrant General] grabiarz:
Yea you need root for find to work :(
[Vibrant General] jjohns63:
I don't see any zips that look like an update, just clockwork mod
[Vibrant General] FRuiTBoOT:
Didn't work...after the las #*#* it won't let you input 6

Edit sorry
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Its *#*#2432546#*#* no 6 "*#*#checkin#*#*and this doesn't seem to work with galaxy S

someone already had solution anycut make shortcut for device management

force software update but still doesn't mean you will get update, doesnt find anything for me at the moment
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
UPDATE:

I started a log, accepted the update, it then said my phone was going to reboot...

white screen comes up and a blue update bar.. got to 50% quickly and then it said the update failed.

My phone rebooted... it took a long time for it to register on my network.

Really not sure what to do to help now.... the Device Manager notification is not there now and the "software update" has nothing....

I searched root explorer for help and the few logs I pulled... I'm not seeing anything useful.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
So I applied the update and now the phone is toast.

Stock kernel + root. I have never applied the lagfix since I've been waiting for the OTA to start messing around with it.

This is his original post . I believe its under general then the title is "JI6 updated automatically"
[Vibrant General] jjohns63:
Well I would love to try and apply this, but I'm pretty sure bad things are likely to happen.

I flashed Bionix 1.5 OC/UV/VOODOO but had some problems so I reverted to my nandroid backup. From what I've read, nandroid does not restore your kernel. So I guess I'm still on the custom kernel and I also have baseband version T959UVJI6. Any suggestions on what I should do before applying the update?

VOODOO is disabled.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
So much for tmobile OTA auto update. Should just release on Kies again

that wont work try reading back one page here
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
ignore..........
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
it's only been 2 days since they've "began" to roll out the OTA. When they updated the slide, it wasn't for like 3-5 days before CheifzReloaded was able to pull the OTA update.zip.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
I'm talking about problems not about me not getting it
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I actually used to think that was B.S. too, but Google is who's servers are used for the OTA's. Google having administrative issues has held up OTA's of other phones in the past, most recently the held up update for the Epic 4g.

[Vibrant General] alphadog00:
Sorry, but you are 100% wrong. I have friends that work at another big phone manufacturer that makes moto i mean many android phones. They (vendors and carriers) control the software releases as they build the software. The vendor's servers are tied to the carrier network. The vendors build according to the carrier wishes. The carriers decide if the phone gets Frodo or not. The ONLY way google could hold up a software update is if there is a bug in some basic Android function (VPN software maybe) and the carrier/Vendor decided to wait on this bug fix.

Google builds a standard release that the hardware vendors modify for each phone - screen, device drivers, customizations, overlays, addons, etc. Google doesn't get involved with software updates except to bug fix their own code. They role the bug fixes out into the public builds. Google has lots of servers, but they are in no way tied to OTA updates. They don't care what vendors do with Android - it is open source and that is also why we get stuck with Crapware. Carriers control what the vendors do.

You can download Android 2.1 or 2.2 from Google, but it won't run on your phone without all the drivers from the hardware vendors. That is why we wait for samsung to release source code. Google released all theirs, but it doesn't give us all that we need.

No, this is an Odin file.

Flashed fine via odin, thanks rhcp! weird tho, it didnt format data... I wasnt expecting all my apps and live wallpaper to be there.
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
So is this the real deal not the leak?
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
Can we use this file to update instead of waiting for the OTA update?
[Vibrant General] wildklymr:
real deal, build.prop shows 2010. 09. 28

leak was 2010. 09. 22
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
cool im going to odin right now!
[Vibrant General] JimDog:
I just wanted to post that I was successful at updating using the OTA update. I know some people have had issues with their phone being stuck at the boot screen, but my update went through just fine.

And I can say that GPS does indeed appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test I never ever used to be able to get more than 2 sats "in use" even though it could see 10 to 12. After the update, I walked outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!
[Vibrant General] Stresa:
Just received the ota update and things went smoothly. Excellent gps and compass performance now.

Just wanted to put out one word of warning. On the initial reboot after the update the phone sat at the Galaxy S screen for what seemed like an eternity.

I didn't time it but it could have easily been 10 minutes. Fight off the urge to turn the phone off or pull the battery thinking that something is wrong, it will finish. I was getting impatient and I'm glad I let it go.

Consequent reboots have been fine.

That didn't work for me... but "samfirmware.com" did.

[Vibrant General] demo23019:
wow great update 5.1 is still broken just like it was in the leaked JI6 :rolleyes:

BTW that was my only complaint with leaked JI6
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Look...I didn't want to turn this into a debate....but...how about using google...or browsing Verizon and Sprints community forums for posts about this when it has infrequently happened, as it has a few times in the last two years.

This isn't about source code. I'm well aware that Google isn't building releases for Samsung, or HTC, or Sony....or anyone else.

It's about Google taking up the administrative responsibility for pushing OTA's for carriers, something that they have apparently been involved with since the first android phones shipped.

Carriers partner with Manufacturers to get the software "done". Manufacturers naturally have the primary responsibility for the actual OS development (it is their device after all), and carriers test this along with making and suggesting framework modifications, customizations, and the installation of that dreaded bloatware we all love.

Once an update is ready, carriers arrange with Google to have the OTA's commence. This isn't new or even news. And yeah I didn't realize this was how things were done until I'd seen press releases from carriers about this very topic. Here's one, easy to find because it's fresh in my recollection. It's an old habit. I spent 10 years following tech news for a living.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter where the updates come from does it? I was merely pointing out that a carrier stating Google has a primary function in the OTA process is a correct statement, and that one shouldn't automatically call BS on a carrier rep who claims this. It is one of the responsibilities they assume for the Open Handset Alliance.

That's all. Can we get back to the update now? I'm sorry I created a sh*tstorm with such an easy to discover revelation.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
Stupid question. Do we odin the .rar or the .tar? If we odin the .tar, what do we do with the .dll file in the rar?
[Vibrant General] mmilestone:
Thank you! It's about time.

Let's hope this works.

Flashing now.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
You just need the tar file
[Vibrant General] jslee1020:
*.rar is a zipped file extension. Unzip it... and use the *.tar file in ODIN.

If you don't already, you will need the 512.pit file as well. Open up ODIN... click PIT... find the 512.pit file on your computer.. next click PDA and find the JI6.tar file that you unzipped.

Checking Re-partition wipes everything prior to install.. so your choice.
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
What does the .dll file do? I assume we don't need a .pit file for this. Do we need the .dll file for anything?
[Vibrant General] jslee1020:
you don't need the .dll file. And if this is OTA.. you should use 512.pit just to make sure it is purely a JI6 flash and you don't have remnants of JFD remaining
[Vibrant General] FRuiTBoOT:
Odin flash of update failed. Got stuck in the reboot menu.

used 512 pit and tar files...
[Vibrant General] minogue:
Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.

I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look:)

Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..

So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch:) i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week! :)

any comments?
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
sounds like you know a very stupid person.

Well done.

Now post again when you get your vibrant.

:p
[Vibrant General] vamp6x6x6x:
Congrats :) I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?
[Vibrant General] minogue:
No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.

$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...

BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...

Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !
[Vibrant General] krook6023:
Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:

"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"

If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!

[Vibrant General] SamVib:
Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.

Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...

But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.

Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.

I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.

It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.

OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.

Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Awesome !!!

Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry
[Vibrant General] joroboyvn:
Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum... If everyone start sharing what a good deal they got out of their phones the whole forum will make nonsense. And it will be hard to find helpfull things.. I hope you all understand what I'm standing for....
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Did you just ignore what the Mod said ?????

I am not sure what you are standing for but sure is not this community ....

EDIT:

May sound like I am insulting you but I am not trying to , I am just trying to explain , IMHO, the "General" Vibrant forum really is for anything concerning a Vibrant, chat, tips & tricks, etc, by its definition, and this thread would qualify as chat.
[Vibrant General] krook6023:
He said that he loved the phone and that he was getting another one! Stop trolling and read the first post before you jump in and start trying to criticize people.

Hey Thanks to all of you who supported me and backed me up, But honestly the only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that ive been around xda for quite some time now, being part of all android forums relating to GSM Devices starting from the g1, so i truly know whats right and wrong, and where things go of course....

Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...

Anyway this is my last post as i dont want to keep bumping this thread as the thread has been read and seen by others and i have had the comments and opinions i asked for... Once again thanks to you guys and the mods who helped clean up the mess:)))))

I had tested some 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 versions. But every time the same story: the manila core won't working correct with this newer versions. Every time the same trouble with sense (don't starting, freezing, ...).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldoud:
Hi guys,

I've installed the Amazon MP3 application today, and found that it uses your phone's locale to get you to the relevant Amazon shop. Problem is, I'm using the UK locale, but I'm shopping on Amazon France...

Hence the question, is there any way to force a locale which is not the system-wide locale to be used for a specific application? Any app that would enable me to do that? Alternatively, in bash you could just type "LC_ALL=fr_FR ./script.sh" to execute a script with a different locale... It wouldn't really be that easy on Android would it? :)

Am on rooted JM8 by the way, in case it's relevant.

Thanks for your insight!

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me, this is driving me crazy:

I built myself a Leo ROM, both 21914 and 23139.

With the 23139 build, as you can see in the attachment, the icons of folders and files look like they are 16 color... The same thing in Outlook, the icons of the mail all look like they are 16 colors...

Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks in advance!
