I agree, I am one of those user, I had no problem with this Froyo update. Don't blame the developers like it was mentioned this worked for the majority of users. What did you have running on your phone before flashing? Do you know the difference between recovery and download? I find that usually when something fails a step somewhere was missed. We all have it happen, I've made mistakes, soft bricked my phone at least 4 times in 2 days playing with Framework-res.apk. Odin always works for me.

Don't tell others not to use something because you couldn't get it to work without giving sufficient details of previous mods to your phone. Odin dosen't like the Voodoo Lagix and if it wasn't disabled that is what could be causing the problem, if you were previously using one.

It's a failed experiment when users don't follow instructions well and claim they do. eventually we learn that they did something wrong. Don't blame developers, it isn't their fault, everyone knows you do this a t your own risk, don't be pissed at the people developing tools to make your phone better. Everyone claims they read and they don't read everything and then things like this happen.

You need to flash back to stock with Odin3 one click with the stock JF6 preinstalled and let it run, disable any lagfixes first. After you are back to stock then you use the Odin preloaded with the Froyo beta.

Sounds like you are missing a step. Relax and read a little more about what you are doing before doing it and try again, sometimes it takes a few times to get it right.
[Captivate General] boomerod:
Take out your battery, close Odin, and then replace your battery. Next, start Odin up, then hold down the vol +- (holding it in the middle of the volume rocker will achieve this). Make sure your USB cable is plugged in to your PC and then plug it in to the phone while you have the vol +- rocker held in. That should put you in download mode and the update should work then.

You are using the original, onc click package, right?

Is PEBKAC appropriate here?

I'd say a large majority got it to work by the threads I have read here and elsewhere. Take a DEEP breath, walk away for a day or two and give it another shot.

Years ago when I began tweaking my mobiles, I had issues, and I can a

honestly say that it was PEBKAC at the time.
[Captivate General] RockRatt:
I had what I think maty have been the same issue...Yes I am a newb. But from what I remember when I was doing the Odin3 it was connected on COM4 not COM5. At one point I did have COM5 but that is when I was having issues. I could be wrong but that is what I remember. MAKE SURE you have the UPDATE.ZIP file in the RIGHT SD Card which is the INTERNAL. I first had mine in the EXTERNAL and it gave me issues. Try it again once you relax a bit. I KNOW how you feel, I tried one night and epically failed and got frustrated. I tried the next day, figured out what I was doing wrong. Followed the directions and it worked. good Luck. And as far as being a BETA, I do not care cause after 2.2 and rooting this thing IS SMOKING fast and I have NO complaints.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
No, no it doesn't work. That's why I had to flash back to JH7 after having successfully flashed the 2.2 leak.

Wait for it.....

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rskins26:
hey I installed the bionix 1.5 rom after i unistalled the one click lagfix. My application storage space was 0 after that and when i would reboot i would get a blank screen after the galaxs s load screen. I went back to the bionix 1.4 rom and now I can't load any other roms or recoveries from clockwork and application storage available space is still 0. I know I could use odin to get the froyo that doesn't brick rom but I have a mac so I can't use odin. any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwillkillyou:
That was the lag fix, go to recovery and delete cache and user data
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
A suggestion to realize your up against a brick wall that's more easily solved by using a windows machine and odin3. I know mac users don't want to hear this, and I'm not dumping mac hate on you here, but the fact is that Odin is a Windows application and probably the only way for you out of your mess.

There is an open source project for an Odin compatible firmware tool, Heimdall, but it's still in alpha at this stage and no source has been released yet. So, it's Odin3 or nothing at this point.

Best of luck

If you on a linux/mac just use something like VM Ware to simulate windows os...

Thats the only thing about using ubuntu that gets a little rough is all these smaller programs are usually made for windows
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rskins26:
I already tried that. thanks for the suggestion though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rskins26:
thanks for the suggestion. i know macs do have their downfalls. the virtual machines look kinda complicated i might be better off just borrowing a friends computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
Moved to the Q&A sub-forum.

The development sub-forum is for development only.

As far as Odin goes: Use a Virtual Machine with XP on it. XP SP3 doesn't require a key or to be activated for 30 days.

There was a replacement tool for Odin that was being worked on that was compatible with Linux and OS X but I don't know if it was ever finished.

After installing Super Clean DI01 Rom i lost my clock app that i had before. Not sure which it was but when clicking the clock it would give you the alarm screen and tabs including timer, etc. Can someone help me get this back?
[Fascinate General] dboss713:
Check the system dump?
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
Download the system dump, pull the clock.apk and drop it on your sd card. Use a root file manager to move it to your /system/app directory.
[Fascinate General] Njzkrish:
Did that but nothing's seemed to have happened. The clock app is still using the 2.1 style. Did i do something wrong? I moved the apk to system/app

[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
So I can see that the stock jog dial images are in there... does anyone know the xml file which tells the phone to use the zz_moto files instead of the stock ones? I would like to

remove the moto files and make it use the default ones because I think moto's are ****in' UGLY!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] drewden123:
I'm not too sure. This is just a shot in the dark which probably has no chance of working but..if you're backed up and/or have means of restoring to at least a stock build...do you think maybe just a simple name switch for the png's could work (ie rename the stock joggers to "zz_moto")? I know this has a good chance of failing but hey you never know...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
Yeah - I thought about that. I bet it will work. I was just hoping to get rid of the excess images altogether, to keep in theme with deblurring my phone :D.

I guess i'll give it a shot Friday though. (Won't have time until then)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] MrDanger:
Hmm.. the jog dials were used for the rotary lockscreen... wonder can I modify the android.policy.jar to get that back...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
That'd be cool, but I think we're talking about different ones.

I'm talking about the jog dials jog_tab_bar files.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] MrDanger:
Yeah.. I'm thinking of the jog_dial_*etc*
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Renaming them to zz_moto should do the trick. Might want to open them up and verify size and position of the .9 pixels though.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
about size and position... so basically I should overlay them and see if the black border things line up?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
yeah, and just edit as needed. recompile, then throw it in the apk or use ninja.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] NegativeOne:
upon actual inspection, it looks like the files aren't exactly the same (in which files there are, and what they mean semantically)

Grr.. I really hate the stupid moto sliders.

There's gotta be a way to modify the XML files to make the screen like stock.

I don't know but when I run quadrant on my vibrant the DNA strand rotation running above 35 fps and the doom like 3d test run at mostly 40 frames and up with the occassional dip into 20 when it turns corners.

The G2 running the DNA rotation runs at 16 fps and the doom like test runs in the teens only breaking into 40 when it climbs the steps but when it begins turning on the stairs its drops back down.

The G2 chokes compared to the Vibrant on those 2 portions in Quadrant. That being said NeoCore runs equally on both.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natecglenn:
I just got my g2 and I must say it looks nice and is fast. It does outperformed my vibrant in quadrant it gets 1600+, neocore 55-58, linpack 33. My vibrant gets 850-915, 55-59, linpack 8-9. Now by those numbers I would say yes the g2 is more powerful but it needs to be a fair fight. When the vibrant gets 2.2 and ill do the tests again.

Yea..havin 2 galaxy phones..I can safely say that the vibrant is stil a bit more powerful. I noticed it stutters a bit when using the 3d drawer in launcher pro..but the vibrant/epic was a full 60fps during that transition.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7shadows:
Hello there,

I have been lurking these forums for a while now, I originally planned on getting an Evo around july but stuff happened and so ive been putting it off till now. I just ordered it off SERO so yay, super excited…but to the point. I read these forums everyday when the evo came out up until mid july when I knew I wasn’t getting one so I knew about that cdma trick to improve battery life and rooting via toast etc etc. However, skimming through the threads I see Froyo is officially out now and there are many types of ways to root out there. Also , there are tons of roms compared to a few months ago.

I understand there are many threads out there (ive read a lot + all the stickied threads) but I just want to get some outside input before I go to town on my phone when it arrives. I know these questions have probably been answered in some form or another on this forum and XDA but honestly, there is an overwhelmingly large amount of information and I just need answers to a few simple questions and I hope people understand that.

1. The first thing I want to do is root the phone and flash a custom rom before downloading apps and entering phone numbers and the such. Is this a good idea? Or should I enter my stuff and download my apps and use Titanium Backup (do people still even use that?) to save my crap before I root and flash?

2. The order of flashing a custom rom would be …root (unrevoked 3.2.1) > nandroid backup > flash custom rom. Is this Correct?

3. I also noticed that some of the custom roms require different versions of hboot (whatever that is) and older versions of software. I don’t want to deal with the downgrading stuff if possible, so my question is which rom can be flashed on the most up-to-date version of froyo? Any suggestions? (i notice a lot of people use Fresh)

4. Ive also noticed that some roms require you to update the radio/PRI or whatever. What exactly is the radio? I googled it and it has to deal with signals and stuff…does that mean the custom roms break the radio and I have to update to a custom radio for me to get reception/data?

Thanks for your time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayonesa:
i got the Evo when it came out, when i got the evo in the mail i went to the sprint both on base and transfer my numbers from my tp2 to the evo..... then i rooted it " the old fasion" way.. i cant speak for unrevoke but i guess you can do that... and yes, you want to do a nandroid back up before you flash your 1st rom.. if things dont work you can use that to restore your phone... once you have at least one nandroid you dont have to do one every time you flash a custom rom... it doesnt hurt to have more than one back up tho.. keep some in your pc incase your sdcard get damaged or lost.

as far as apps and setting the phone... i dont think it matters.... the contacts get backed by gmail ( if you set that up, you should)... the apps you can use tittanium ( what i use, paid) but the onces you buy will be in your download section from the market place. havent lost one app yet but you have to allow goggle to sync with your phone... you can also use dropbox and other places.. a lot of options.

as far as radio goes.... you can upgrade everything one time.. some roms may include it but most wont... if its a stock rooted rom then it may include the radio since its something new. but you can find everything seperate..

flashing a rom wont change the radio endless it says it will.

anyways, hopes this helps and didnt comfuse you more lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtdrumz:
As soon as you get it charged up and activated .... root it. Don't do any updates, downloads, etc....

You are on the right track. You have done the smart thing, doing all of your homework.

As far as I am concerned Fresh is the only way to go on the rom

The radio and pri need to be updated for 2 main reasons 1. The fresh rom that you use whether it is the latest and greatest or an older version will be tweaked for a certain radio and pri version. You will find that on the site instructions. And 2. Updating the radio and pri will increase battery life and signal.

Ofcourse this is just my opinion and you will get many more I am sure........ get the latest/greatest FRESH you will love it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7shadows:
hello,

thanks for the quick replies.

regarding the radio issue, after reading the stickied thread in this forum "Common misconceptions and other useful information" im a little scared to mess with the radio. I notice that Fresh has a radio update posted so my question is this...Are all radio updates the same? like the one posted on fresh's website will work with most roms or just his particular rom? I also live in an area with 4g coverage and i plan to use it! so i definately dont want to lose that (its why im not considering using CM6)

sorry, im trying hard to understand how this works...this will be my first smartphone ive ever had so there is a learning curve for me. thanks again for your time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valdraz:
The radio thing has me worried too, I don't want to lose 4G. I rooted mostly to get the bloat out and to gain 5 point multitouch. I'm still not positive what to do to NOT break my 4g and lose my radio ID.

I did the unrevoked root a little while ago, quick an easy. OP should do it right away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mizzos4:
I'm on current Fresh 3.3.0.1 with KingKlick CFS #10 custom kernel and all the updated radios. Everything working great for me. Definitely nandroid first before you flash any custom rom. And if you have apps + data that you want to save, use either Ti or MyBackup Pro to restore them. After you do a full data/factory + cache + dalvik cache wipe, flash the new rom then boot into it to make sure everything is running. Reboot back into recovery and flash the current radio update. By the way, I recommend Amon Ra recovery for all your flashing needs because it just works better than ClockworkMod imho.

Shameless plug: Check out Jabbawalkee's MattedBlues theme because it's just sexy like that but there are definitely other theme options out there besides the stock Sense look.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtdrumz:
No not all radios are created equal. Usually the rom that you will be flashing will tell you what radio to use. The Fresh rom has always made strides to be efficient and up to date. I have yet to have any problems with any of the versions he has put out. Don't let the words radio, baseband, services, etc... worry you. flashing them are simple and and painless. No worries!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimeslunk:
Unrevoked + forever is the hands down easiest and best way to root your phone except it leaves you with clockwork recovery which isn't as good as ra recovery but that is a very simple switch. Pretty dman simple on a pc just install drivers and click on root. Then copy forever to you SD card and flash it. Even easier on MAC no drivers required.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7shadows:
ok great thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Didn't see anyone answer your hboot question yet. Here's how that works. Hboot is the screen that let's you actually run recovery (either amon ra or clockwork), and the only Rom that requires a certain version of it (as far as I know) is cyanogen. This is important, because you can't restore a nand backup that you made on version 0.93 (which I think is the current one) when you're running version 0.76 (which is what you would have to change to in order to flash CM). So if you backup on 0.93, then change to 0.76 to load cm, you'll have to reinstall 0.93 in order to restore that backup. This is apparently pretty tough to do correctly, although I think its been simplified over the last few days. Note that once you go to 0.76 there isn't really any reason to change back to 0.93 unless there's a specific nand backup that you want to restore.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mtl171:
from a spec perspective, the phone should be able to handle multitasking fine. though in terms of software, it may vary. certain apps use a ton of power when running in the background so a task killer can be handy. though the android dev team hates task killers cause android technically doesn't need it and it can cause FCs on apps.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] WilliamStern:
Our phones don't need it. I quit using task killers when I got the Vibrant. Tell you the truth I never noticed a difference with or without it.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] epeets:
technically, they lost most of their use after Android 2.1 became standard and just like what has been said before they weren't that great to begin with unless you used a ton of apps. You're better off using Cachemate every now and then. Most users really don't need a task killer app. Its just a waste of time.
