I re-installed packages--(took 7 secs). BUttons still do not do anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Try this .

1) power down your phone

2) now hold vol up and down and power button

3) hold untill second vibrant screen pops up then let go of power only

If it takes you to recovery it worked
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
Took 8 tries...but Fauk ME running...it is all a timing issue. I'll be damned!!!!!

/shocked

//great work--for real.

PS- THANK YOU!
[Vibrant Android Development] nacron:
Another hardware locked vibrant fixed. I thought JI6 derpped my ability to get to recovery but then I realized I was using rom manager and adb to restart to recovery
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
So anyone have an idea of the chance of brickage vs. chance of working? 50/50? 70/30? 80/20? 90/10? Also, what do you mean by "use the recovery.bat in adb.zip" Do you mean we can't use the stock recovery 2e to flash the files? I apologize, Im just nervous about bricking my phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
Having usual bad luck, it works great.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Its pretty safe but when modifying these files there is always a chance of bricking . And yes this is ment to be used with stock recovery . Follow my guide in post #9 .
[Vibrant Android Development] TheSneakerWhore:
^^^THIS^^^

Bricking is always a possibility--I have had bad luck with both my vibrants, BUT this fix worked PERFECT once I got the button timing right.
[Vibrant Android Development] jello sweets:
worked great for me. now i can get into recovery by holding both the + and -volume and power buttons, releasing the power once the logo shows (still holding the power buttons) and eventually the recovery mode comes up.

thanks!

Heh, with all the headaches I will have no guilt lol. Looks like the rep.unit won't transfer files w usb. debug set and some general usb weirdness going on now. I hope they push that damn ota before my 7 day return/restock window closes.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
you can open dialer and enter this code *#*#8736364#*#* and force an update

check, It could have been a coincidence but about 10-20 min later I got notified

that there was an update.
[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
Kies mini is now availible for us market .
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
it does not have the new SBL unfortunately.

by the way if you want to grab a odin flashable tar from an official source

update through kies mini and when the phone switches to download mode

look in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\"

and look for a folder named something similar to zip.tmp and look inside

to find a file named T959UVJI6.tar copy and paste it to your desktop

if you try to drag and drop it to the desktop you'll break your phone

dont forget to set folder and search options to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
[Vibrant Android Development] qreffie:
Just want to report that another phone has been fixed using this method. I used adb to get into stock recovery and installed the update.zip file. Took less than 5 min altogether and I got into recovery using the vol+/- method on my first try. Now that this has been fixed I'm a little less reluctant to give Odin a try. This phone may not have been perfect out of the box, but through all the great work/help from you all here it keeps getting closer and closer to where I want it to be. Many thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] ward360:
I broke down and did the update.zip.

It worked perfectly. Now I can get to my recovery!

If you break you phone it's you're phone and you pushed the buttons. Don't blame anyone here. These guys spend alot of their personal time making stuff for you, and they do a better job then the manufacturer's. Remember when you point a finger at someone you have three pointing back at you!

1. download update.zip

2. Put update.zip in /sdcard

3. Download and install a terminal emulator

4. Start the term emulator

5. Type "su" in the term emulator

6. Type "reboot revovery" in the term emulator

7. Use the volume down button to scroll to "reinstall packages"

8. Push the power button

9. Let it do it's deal 15 or 20 seconds is all mine took

10. Use the volume keys to select reboot then the power key to accept

11. Let it boot

12. Turn it off

13. Hold volume up, volume down, then push and hold the power button

14. Wait till the samsung screen comes on the second time then let go of the power button

15. Let go of the volume when you see the text come up.

16. You are in recovery!

I have seen a few of you without pc's wondering what to do, hope this helps.

This is how I did it, I just summed up a few previous post in this section.

Check your md5 on the update.zip you download! It is there for a reason! You are playing with important stuff.

2 g1's

1 cliq

1 mytouch slide

2 vibrants

No bricks

Lucky!
[Vibrant Android Development] demize!:
only prob is you cant use an emulator if you dont have root, and you cant get root if you cant enter recovery, it is a tautology. Im sure theres a way far above my paygrade.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tzatlacael:
It seems the MyTouch Slide users won't be getting Froyo soon, or never...

So, developers have made it to port Froyo Android 2.2 to the MyTouch Slide.

But it has no Espresso UI, thererefore, a lot of things are missed from Eclair, like the dialer, the music player, task bar, At LEAST FLASH LITE!, at least that,: because Adobe Flash Player 10.1 is not compatible for the Slide due to its requirement of ARMv7... even with Froyo...

Espresso UI is tecnically the only reason why I'm still using Eclair, but I really want Froyo :(

Could somebody, a developer, build up a Rom of Froyo with Espresso UI???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daweedk1991:
Hello,

Alright, so I tried flashing to the newest firmware and I ticked re-partition in odin (yea stupid me)... Now, I get the following

-- Movi_check Start..!!
checksum configuration need_checksum[0]
Not need checksum configuration

-- Movi_check already executed!!...

--movi_checking done!...
update media, please wait...
E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.

Now, I used adb to get into download mode, but now when I used adb reboot download, it sends me to recovery and i get this message...Is there anything i can do to at least get back to stock? Please Help D':

EDIT:

Would it be possible to somehow push the clockwork recovery to the sdcard using adb and use that to restore a nandroid backup?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
i am having the exact same problem right now. i tried a adb install of a update.zip for clock work and is saying that i dont have a androidmanifest.xml. also tried straight push and said i dont have permession to put on sd card
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
Hey man try removing SD card and similar card. Take out battery and have it unplugged from USB.

Put in battery hold volume down and power while plugging in USB.

Worked for me. Flashed jfd then flashed ji6 now running smooth
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daweedk1991:
Can you tell me what you did step by step? I'm doing it but I keep ending up on the screen from my original post...Also, did you get this problem because you checked repartition in odin or did you do something else?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
I did have the problem from checking repartition.

1 pulled out everything from the phone (SD card,sim card, battery)

2 put in battery

3 hold down volume - and power button and plug in USB cable

hopefully this will put you in download mode.

4 used odin to flash stock jfd

5 rebooted phone

6 put in download mode through adb

7 used Odin to flash ji6
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daweedk1991:
Last question, when you were doing it, before entering download mode, did you see a battery or vibrant screen?

EDIT:

Ugh...no matter how much I try I can't get into download...maybe my vibrant is hardware locked...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
i got both but just played around with button combos till it went to download mode when i plugged in the cable
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webmastertroi:
OK guys. So the trick about getting into Download Mode is to make sure phone is off, hold Power and both Volume buttons, when Vibrant screen shows up, release ONLY the Power button and you'll jump right in there!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avengethis1:
Isn't that for recovery mode not download mode
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daweedk1991:
Doing both things plus some other methods sends me back to recovery...I WAS able to push clockwork and a nandroid backup to the phone but it didn't help me restore...also I can use adb but that also sends me to recovery...any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webmastertroi:
No. Recovery mode happens when you hold all 3 buttons until Vibrant screen shows up.

Download mode requires you to just let go off the Power button and continue holding the Volume buttons at Vibrant screen.

Very similar, but works like a charm for me and others every time. I learned it here in XDA! :cool:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Next time use rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery. In there you can make a nandroid backup before you do something like this. It puts an update.zip in your sdcard root that you can then get to by reinstalling packages in regular recovery.

But for now, if you can get to recovery, you can get to download mode.

First get the stuff you need from the bible sticky in the dev section.

Usb drivers for samsung devices

Odin and the stock jfd rom.

Theres a good visual guide to odin thats useful in there.

Set up odin first

Then the way I get to download is pull the battery, put back in. hold only the up and down volume keys (do not touch power) and plug in the usb while still holding volumes. After a few seconds you should see the download mode screen, and odin should show it connected to a port.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turtlepowwa:
Hey all,

I decided to root my HTC Desire today, via unrevoked3; everything went alright.

I later installed ClockworkMod Recovery, and flashed the ClockworkMod recovery image. I tried to make a backup from inside the ClockworkMod Recovery app (ROM Manager). The phone reset, loaded the ClockworkMod recovery image, but then failed backing up, complaining about "failed signature verification". (I should mention at this point that my phone could still boot up.)

I searched the forums a bit, and someone suggested to just select backup/restore from within recovery mode. I did so, and the backup completed.

After that, the phone reset... but now, it sits at the white HTC screen and won't go any further. Every 30 seconds or so, the screen goes black for a bit, then the white HTC screen comes back (phone restarts, I assume). Also, I should mention that I can still get into the bootloader & recovery mode (Clockwork), if that helps.

I wouldn't mind reimaging my phone via one of the Desire RUU packages, as I was planning to upgrade my rom/radio anyways...

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm rather new to the android community, so help a newbie out! :)

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
If I were you I would first try to clear data/restore to factory settings from recovery.

Failing that I would restore the backup you made.

If that didn't work just flash a custom rom (clear data again).

If all of that still fails flash the RUU.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turtlepowwa:
Hey, thanks for the info & reply.

I ended up doing a factory wipe, and flashing a custom rom (MoDaCo)

Everything seems to be working order... thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan000111:
I have a question / issue somewhat related to this. I have the USCC version of the HTC Desire. I have it rooted via unrevoked forever. I created a goldcard following the guide on modaco. I placed the rom I was trying to flash over to on the root of the SD card (leeDrOiD in this case). The rom flashes over successfully, but it will never boot up. It stallsl at the white HTC screen. It will never go past this. I did a wipe before hand as well. I have hboot 0.98.0000. That's the only thing I can think of that is different from the other forums I've seen. My radio is 2.05.10.06.29. I have tried several other roms as well. I can easily flash back to a backup I made of the stock rom, but I really want to use a custom one to get to 2.2. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z General] crr127:
Even with the right profile u still need a kernel... once a permanent root happens the roms will start the kernels will start.. good start to the holidays
[G2 and Desire Z General] j.books:
so, obviously you can't overclock without the right kernal, but... setcpu doesn't seem to be working at all though in terms of controlling the clock speed. its allowed superuser access but turning max frequency down doesn't prevent the speed from ramping up to 800mhz, nor does setting the minimum to 800 prevent it from scaling down.

I presume this everyone else's experience too?
[G2 and Desire Z General] linkage2424:
Yes...Because you need a custom kernel.

I'm pretty sure u don't need a custom kernel to underclock do u?

[Vibrant General] azzeh3:
Im a noobie so I wanted to ask some questions that Im having a hard finding answers for.

1. When you flash on a rom is touchwiz still running underneath it while you have the skin on top??

2. Does it kill battery faster when running a rom or mod?

3. Does everything function 100% when using a mod such as 3g radio bands?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
1. Uh..touchwiz is a launcher. Depending on the rom it may our may not be present.

2. depends. Most roms will try to make it better. Ymmv.

3. Hopefully. If not it would get fixed pretty quickly or not get used much.
[Vibrant General] azzeh3:
Thanks joshthewaster!
[Vibrant General] danr238:
Touchwiz is not just a launcher it's a complete user interface and as of right now it is so embedded into everything in our phone that it can't be removed
[Vibrant General] joshthewaster:
Yeah I guess it's more than just a launcher but it is gone in at least one of eugene's roms.

At least I thought so.
[Vibrant General] azzeh3:
Yeah i figured...but I want to know that if you run a rom is there a total of two ui's running, the touch wiz ui and the rom running on top??

Kinda like layers....android 2.1 is the first layer,touchwiz is the second layer, and the rom is the last layer.....Is that how it is??
[Vibrant General] azzeh3:
No more input??
[General Questions and Answers] camarokris:
So i understand that there are Pioneer Avic car stereos that run windows ce and there is a way to access the windows side of the ok. seeing as that is possible would it be a possibility to flash android to the stereo and integrate all the components. perhaps use something similar to the fm app that comes on the htc evo for radio and create an app for dvd/cd/etc etc and use the integrated BT to interface with a phone to access internet and apps.

this would be an awesome project however i do not have the programming expertise that would be necessary and i believe there would be many others interested.
[General Questions and Answers] RMACEVO427:
I LIKE THIS IDEA!!!! I Have a Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD model... im not a pro yet, but I would love to learn how to mod my stereo if it was possible. Do you have a base idea or any resources on how to do it yet?
[General Questions and Answers] camarokris:
there are discussions on this forum about gaining access to the windows CE OS on the AVIC but i have no resources, out here driving truck it is not often i get online:mad:
[General Questions and Answers] jazzymc:
If you get in to the WinCe probably you can use Haret to boot in Linux/Android. but actually you have to build an android image for your hardware. So first you need to investigate what is the hardware on which the WinCe work, then you can search for an android port for this hardware or start porting the OS by your self. Good Luck!
[Epic 4G Accessories] Tito13kfm:
I purchased a package of 5 WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors when I picked up my Epic 4g on 10/1. I just got around to installing one yesterday.

Installation:

The screen protectors are about 3" x 4.125" and can be cut to fit any size screen that is below that. They come with a grid printed on the backing material that makes it easy to cut to size. It is a medium tact adhesive screen protector that reduces glare and helps to prevent scratches.

Attempt 1:

I cut the first one to size, attempted to line it up, and began to apply it with the included applicator/air bubble remover card. 3 giant air bubbles were staring me in the face. Attempts to peel back and reapply caused the film to crease. I threw away this one and tried again.

Attempt 2:

This time I cut to size and used my drivers license to apply constant and even pressure across the entire width of the screen. No air bubbles, but 1 piece of dust was present. Again I slowly peeled it back and attempted to remove the dust. This caused the adhesive to fog up and could not get it completely clear. I threw that away and tried again.

Attempt 3:

Success! After drinking a beer to calm my nerves I was able to get this one to apply perfectly. No air bubbles, no dust, no nothin.

Look and feel:

Perfectly clear and less glare than the stock screen. No orange peel, very nice glide, extremely impressed.

Overall I would give these a 2.5 out of 5. I am not the most nimble with my fingers, but apparently you need to have the patience of a saint and the hands of a surgeon to get them to work perfectly. I'll be luck if I get to use 2 out of the 5 included.

Pros:

Cheap!

Less glare

Nice feel

Cons:

Difficult to apply

Forget about adjusting them if you misalign.

Great work as usual JT.

This is the real lag-fix guys..

Quadrant scores will be less than the OCLF because that "fix" uses a loopback device, which doesn't honor fsync function calls when accessing SQLite db's.. Quadrant score includes db write tests, so what you see with this voodoo lag fix is an actual represntation of the devices capability. The OCLF scores are artifically inflated.

Please keep in mind that untill you uninstall Voodoo, you cannot flash a kernel without ext4 support or you'll probably boot into a stock looking device with FC hell. Basically if you're ever going to flash anything, uninstall voodoo first.
