Did you set the permissions correctly? It should be rw-r--r-- in root explorer or 644 in chmod

Oops I didn't. I am gonna give it a try, but

you sure this is the right link to the file right?

.../4516127/android.policy.jar
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
that's it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igdrazle:
Still doesn't work ^^"

It's always stuck in the boot loop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
Hmm... I'll try and test it again tomorrow. Good thing you had a backup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scward:
I just did this and my phone keeps on vibrating randomly? anyone else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scward:
do you still have that backup and would it work on anyone's phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
I just pulled this out of the cognition2.3b8 zip file so it should work on anyone's phone.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4516127/cog2.3b8android.policy.jar

Just take out the "cog2.3b8" part of the filename and push it to /system/framework/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
Alright I finally got around to testing it again. It worked again for me. The only changes I made to the installation before changing the file were:

connecting to my wifi, signing into my google account, installing launcherpro and setting it to default, installing root explorer, and letting all the automatic updates happen (maps, google search, market, etc.)

Then after changing the lock screen, rebooting and seeing that it worked, I rebooted into recovery and did a factory reset through clockworkmod, and it still works.

Now I am quite confused with the problems you two are having. If someone else has any ideas feel free to chime in.

here's the new download link:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4516127/cog2.3b4android.policy.jar

changed the filename to make things easier for me and to avoid confusion with earlier links

edit: the link is in fact for cognition 2.3b8, the file is from 2.3b4, hence the file name.
[HD2 General] schaffino:
Can anyone else confirm an issue i've been having. The last few new roms I've tried, dutty and artemis, have been unable to play the streams from tvcatchup in the built in streaming program. They play fine for a couple seconds then there's just constant clipping. The image is fine but the sound is just aweful. Its not a bandwidth issue as using wi-fi and in middle of night so is not a problem their end either. Used to work on my last rom which was a cleanex rom from ages ago. Has there been an update to the player which may have broken it?
[HD2 General] schaffino:
bumpity bump bump
[HD2 General] salv90:
I have the last few days just tried using tvcatchup.

When on 3g/hsdpa the pic and sound is perfect.

But here is the weird thing, when on wifi I am suffering the same problems as above.

There is a guy on tvc forums that mentioned this too but no one has replied to him.

Any thoughts guys
[HD2 General] jagger2k:
I was having the same issue there for i flashed the latest stock firmware, 3.14 i think it is with 2.15 radio. Works great now. Am officially done with broken "Improved" custom roms.
[Vibrant General] fileboy22:
Hey Guys I am New to the xDa forums and to the android development itself. I do have questions regarding some android development things.

Such as:

- Flashing (how does it work?)

- ROMS

- Kernels

ETC ETC, I have rooted my phone.

Also how would i flash a Zip File onto my phone? I have seen some great stuff that I would like to add to my phone but i have no clue how to. Is it similar to rooting your phone (update.zip thingy?).

I have seen some vids showing nand backup program. How do i get it on my phone?

Thx in Advance guys.

I am a developer, still new, hopefully I can bring some stuff out of my own to show you guys in the future. We will see what happens.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
You are probably going to get flamed really bad most likely. But I will help you out. Start with taking a look at the stickies in this general section and also the development section. A lot of good information in both. Specifially over in the dev section, the Bible literally has everything you need including the tools to flash roms, roms to flash, how to get back to stock, kernals, everything.

ProTip. Get ClockWork Rom Manager. You will be using that a lot for general flashing. Odin too for more advanced stuff.
[Vibrant General] fileboy22:
Thanks a lot, I also do have another question. If i creat a backup (Nandroid) for my phone will it always be available for me to restore back to my phone everytime. Or do i have to redo it everytime i flash or install a zip file?\

Thx
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Yes, it will always be available. You can have multiple backups also and name them differently so you know which is which.
[Fascinate Android Development] Stevespear426:
First off I'm not a Dev just a guy with a Mac and to much time on his hands. So use with caution. Secondly I'm not really positive on the exact steps take because of multiple mistakes and attempts. So this is how I think it all went down.

1) Unistall Lagfix

2) Download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Fasci...Mfascinate.zip disregard the read me its missing steps i'll try to hit here.

3) drop the zimage file on the sdcard.

4) put the redbend_ua in the tools folder of the sdk.

5) open terminal

$ cd ..

$ cd ..

$ cd and*

$ cd tools

$ ./adb push redbend_ua /data/local

$ ./adb shell

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ chmod 0755 rage.bin

$ ./rage.bin

Wait for rage.bin to complete. When it's finished you should be back in the tools folder again as shown below.

your computer name: tools your user name$ ./adb shell

# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

# cd /data/local

# chmod 755 redbend_ua

# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7

lots of stuff and your phone restarts…

quit terminal (don't know if its necessary)

recopy zimage to sdcard. yes overwrite.

open terminal (I did the whole rage.bin thing a couple times through this whole fiasco, im not sure if its nessecary, just get remounted..)

# cd ..

# cd ..

# cd and*

# cd tools

#./adb shell

# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

# cd /data/local

# chmod 755 redbend_ua

# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8

more stuff phone restarts again.

market download rom manager. cwrecovery flash for fascinate, back up current rom and you're good.

If guys are having trouble I'll try and answer questions, but this was trial and error for me. if I missed something and someone figures it out let me know so I can update the tutorial.
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
I've found a pretty simple way to do it as well, without so much stuff and less download even. This is if you have adb/android tools installed with a bash profile and you're in the folder with redbend and zimage.

1. Install ROM Manager and "flash" CWM. Mount your sdcard

2. adb push redbend_ua /data/local

3. adb push zImage /data/local

4. adb shell

5. su

6. chmod -R 755 /data/local

7. cd /data/local

8. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml7

Phone reboots, remount sdcard to comp

1. adb shell

2. su

3. cd /data/local

4. ./redbend_ua restore ./zImage /dev/block/bml8
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisw27:
I actually had to use a bit of both of your posts to get mine working. These are the steps I followed:

Copy zImage to the root folder of your SD Card

Open Terminal

$ cd (path to android sdk)/tools

$ ./adb push (path to redband_ua)/redbend_ua /data/local

$ ./adb shell

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ chmod 0755 rage.bin

$ ./rage.bin

(username)$ ./adb shell

# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

# cd /data/local

# chmod 755 redbend_ua

# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7

--Phone Reboots--

$ ./adb shell

$ su

# cd /data/local

# ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
[Fascinate Android Development] NOsquid:
Thank you kindly for all your efforts peeps. Not sure it's quite dummy-proof enough for my implementation yet :) but I'm glad this ball is rolling.

Haven't had a Windows machine in a while, tried running a virtual machine but wouldn't recognize my phone after I installed the Samsung drivers. BootCamp...meh...
[Fascinate Android Development] chrisw27:
I'm pretty sure there's an easier way. It's hard to find the exact steps on a phone that's already hacked with cwrecovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
I'm pretty sure I could compile some solid instructions based off of what everyone posted, but I'd rather go through the process myself before I write something up for others to use. The only thing stopping me is the question of having Clockwork installed and receiving an OTA from Verizon? I'm also seeing that going back to stock requires Odin which requires a PC, which is not a huge deal, but it just seems like it'll be a pain in the ass to get back to stock if I need to - especially since I'm not doing anything drastic to my phone that'll require a backup.
[Fascinate Android Development] Gitykins:
Clockwork is recovery. It doesn't affect anything ota. And you wont have to use odin for messing up cwm unless you're a complete idiot.

Posted from my SCH-I500 (Samsung Fascinate with Voodoo @ 1200 MHz)
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
I understand what Clockwork is used for. I just don't understand what exactly is happening when you flash bml7 and bml9 (or whatever mount points you flash). I'm curious as to whether flashing these have any effect on future updates in any way.
[Fascinate Android Development] shadyshizz:

^It was late and didn't even think to do a search for the file lol. My windows VM wasn't recognizing my Fascinate, Captivate or my friends' Vibrant anymore. I had to boot to my Bootcamp partition to finally get it recognized and just used the Odin method.

Thanks though

So you could at least throw a thank you to me for getting the files together, instead of just linking to my files.

CW issues

I select "Backup current ROM" and my phone immediate boots into recovery and if I try and apply the update.zip, it fails.

Any ideas??

I was really good at the Eris, but this one is mocking me :)
[Fascinate Android Development] jp in ny:
You've got to push rage.bin to your phone before you can run it. Like this (disregard unixisms, don't have a mac but its relevant):

root@house:~# ls

rage.bin Superuser.apk

root@house:~# adb push rage.bin /data/local/tmp

18 KB/s (5392 bytes in 0.277s)

root@house:~#

Now rage.bin is on your phone's internal memory, proceed with the chmod and execute steps.
[Fascinate Android Development] mccloskeym:
Yeah, I have all that running and I have superuser and I even got su to not give me access denied.

The problem for me is when it tries to apply the zip in recovery, it fails.
[Fascinate Android Development] xjedi:
help

hi,

I get to:

# mount -t rfs -o remount,rw /dev/block/st19 /system

and it just sits there. i've waited 10 minutes. is it supposed to take longer? sorry noob here.
[Fascinate Android Development] DeezNotes:
Finally installed Clockworkmod - I know... welcome to last year

The instructions in the sticky say to follow the instructions in the readme.txt file in the .zip - as stated by the OP, the instructions in here are missing a few key things that would keep people from worrying during installation. The [Mac] information in the sticky should be updated with instructions from this post.

All the instructions provided helped with my installation, but I ran into an issue I didn't see posted anywhere.

Here are the steps I used:

[mac] $ cd <sdk_path>
[mac] $ ./adb push <zip_path>/redbend_ua /data/local/
[mac] $ ./adb push <zip_path>/zImage /sdcard/
[mac] $ ./adb shell
[adb] $ su
[adb] # cd /data/local
[adb] # chmod 755 redbend_ua
[adb] # ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7

*** At this point, the phone screen goes black and says "System updated. Rebooting.." and the phone reboots.

What went different for me after this point is I had to disconnect the phone from the USB port to get it to be recognized by the SDK/adb. When I did get it to recognize, once I got into the shell adb would freeze and I couldn't type the last command. I rebooted the phone, tried different USB ports, restarted the SDK... same... adb would just freeze up and I couldn't type anything. When I run ./adb devices, it seems the phone disconnects itself after a while which is very strange.

From that point I just used the Terminal Emulator app to type the last few commands directly from the phone:

[term] $ su
[term] # cd /data/local
[term] # ./redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8

Then the phone reboots again like it did the first time.

After this last command it seems my phone can keep its adb connection to the SDK again, which is good.

Thanks to everyone who put the instructions together. I didn't really have a need for Clockworkmod up to this point, but seeing as how the updates are taking forever to come from Samsung/Verizon I'd rather get some of these annoying bugs fixed myself instead of waiting until 2012 for a fix.
[Fascinate Android Development] jthompson0019:
I have tried all the methods above and can't get this to work. After ./rage.bin completes it never returns to tools it was just a $ or #. Now after ./adb shell, in the first part, I get #, at one point I was getting $. I am a little confused and have attempted way to may times. Should I just find a PC or can someone help? I have attempted all methods in this forum. Yes I am rooted and no I have never put lagfix on my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] jthompson0019:
used deeznotes method and worked like a charm. Thanks.

While we are all bored waiting, Let's have a thread that list all froyo 2.2 problems instead. let's see if you can find them too! a good time to look into what happen to their "merrier" upgraded user.

1st one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDt1Mt6sdes Wifi keep dropping! @least on droid X

2nd It seem large amount of apps are not yet froyo compatible! Check your local market app for details.

e-mail problems? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMHzzItyMRg

a pretty big list here for nexus! http://www.google.ca/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=2297751cd761f9fc&hl=en

Self-reboot bug that happen to many phones? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwYY3eghY6w

Find some more if you could!
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
xD true but we still want it
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I had froyo on my nexus one and personally its nothing spectacular..just a another number....it did nothing better for me that 2.1 didn't already do....personal preference...I couldn't care less for froyo or MT.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
I just want it so I can have kinda the same apps as on my old x1
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Newer firmware might be good but it all depends on the software programmer who is fine tuning the OS for respective phone models.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
best example vista and w7???
[XPERIA X10 General] chongbh:
Yes, agree. I would say SE programmer has done a good job compared to HTC. HTC might be fast to release new firmware but their firmware is not stable and have many bugs.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
I would have to agree, while HTC does get updates out fast and SE kinda picks there own asses, they certainly did a damn good job on 1.6. Which is why even tho I am a little angry with the delay, I give them the benefit of the doubt that 2.1 will be all that and a bag of chips. People who sold there X10's will be crying to get them back when 2.1 drops lol :)

suckers! lol
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
I read somewhere that LG is delaying its tablet release because froyo is not stable enough, and is waiting for the next android release.

[XPERIA X10 General] Silver_77:
Certainly the Eclair update will give new life to X10, but the lack of Flash for web browsing, I think it is a big handicap.

I hope that flash_for_21.apk works on Xperia.
[XPERIA X10 General] wrongfeifong:
come on everyone while we are all bored, let's fine some problems that these 2.x face on their devices. While i am pretty sure 1.6 has all been stable to all of us right now. We should show them bigger numbers isn't always better!

Especially someone runs in the trouble exchange an x10 for a new phone get an update and it bricks forever XD
[XPERIA X10 General] dong2007:
Why are people so interested in 2.2 for x10i, it does not differ so much out of 2.1

The biggest difference between 2.1 and 2.2 is:

Improved system performance

The integration of Adobe Flash 10.1

Wi-Fi hotspot

Optimized Android keyboard

Keep apps and games on SD card

App backup settings (S/E has their own)

Auto-update apps in market (Google has updated the market for all platforms)
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
well system performance is GOOOOD

flash well don't you want to watch videos online? and not just from youtube

(you can' see it on the x10 http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/103574/sexual-harassment-law )

wi-fi spot could work sometimes
[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
Actually I personally just want to update the phone bios(what it call). Not the OS. Let's see... Nothing wrong with Android 1.6 , the problems are: earpiece (low call volume) and real time push email. At least this is my opinion. How ever.... X10 is much better than x2. Agree?

Gunawan, GN Mutimedia & X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] bongd:
Windows 98 works pretty well but it doesn't mean I want to stay on that OS because there may be a few minor quirks with newer OS's.

There's no two ways about it - waiting for 2.1 is miserable and depressing. I can't afford a new phone anymore so I'm stuck just like a lot of other disappointed X10 consumers. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
same applues for me I have 4 months with it and still paying for it o.0 12 months no interest xD next year imma get an HTC

hmmm never tried the x2, just the x1 but is true low call volume is one of the x10's weak points
[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
If Android 2.1 is bugless, of course we will think to change to newer OS. But if 2.1 is full of bugs. I prefer staying with 1.6

Gunawan, GN Mutimedia & X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
There will always be a bug of some sort no matter how much time they spend on it. But, I like many others am frustrated with the delay...but just give them the benefit of the doubt that 2.1 will be damn near flawless. They are claiming that there 2.1 update will be on par or better than 2.2 (read it somewhere). 2.2 is not any better than 2.1 (well for my use anyways) I don't use flash, I installed it and then deleted it. Overall system performance was NO better than 2.1 (this was with my Nexus One)...browser speed had NO sigificant change regardless of there claiming. So guys don't sell or trade your phones because of SE trying to give us a damn good experience with 2.1....when 2.1 drops then make your call on what your gonna do with the phone....besides with 2.1 installed on it already, you will probably get more $$$ for it lol :D
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
magic words xD
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
Lol, if 2.1 sucks I just may be forced to sell/trade it. But I honestly don't think that will be the case :)
[XPERIA X10 General] scottspa74:
You forgot to mention uploads from web browser. (Provided you have a file explorer app to 'browse local device). This feature was huge to me.

I don't get what bugs people are referring to. 2.1 is hands down 1,000x better than 1.6.1.6 feels like it's not even functional after using 2.1. Then froyo is even better than 2.1. Been using it since end of July. Flawless.
[XPERIA X10 General] Bwyan Benton:
While I most certainly agree 2.1 is alot better than 1.6.... froyo is most definitely not better than 2.1. From personal experience it gave me nothing better than 2.1 already did. Just my experience tho.

I was checking Market today and noticed MLB.com at bat 2010 app was priced at $4.99. So being the Yankee fan that I am, I downloaded it. I'm pretty sure this app has been priced at a ridiculous $14.99. Don't know why the price drop? Just letting those baseball fans out there know in case you're interested.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] NateRios430:
I believe that the app went on sale because of the playoffs. Good luck to your Yankees :)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] phantomzer0:
It's At Bat 2010, the iPhone owners all said that you buy it every year, so next year's app will be MLB At Bat 2011 and will be back at 14.99 until the playoffs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
ok. My bad. This is considered a subscription and will have to be renewed in 2011, at the regular price of $14.99. That sucks. Still, being a fan of a team in the playoffs, while being stuck at work most of the time, still worth the discounted price.

Bodyglove has a cool case that has a kickstand. It's around 20-25
[Vibrant Accessories] ryan562:
i have both the black mesh kickstand as well as the bodyglove. they both fit and work. the mesh kickstand may not be the top choice of some vibrant owners because it does not protect/cover the borders of the front glass/face of the vibrant as most cases do. i've had problems with the bodyglove case as it appears to be scratching the back case of my vibrant. i had the same exact issue on bodyglove case with kickstand on my hd2.

.

i let my sister have my bodyglove case. i actually didn't have a problem with the weaknesses of the black mesh case since the makers of it actually put some soft padding within the case to prevent scratches on the battery/back cover of the vibrant.
