[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southplatte:
Personally I do believe the hardware lock issue. I had two vibrants, one could not get into dlm at all, no matter the method, no matter how many tries, no matter how long I held the buttons, no matter on battery pull or not, Odin open or not, no matter on when usb plugged or not. Nothing. nearly 3 days into this issue on this phone, no go with any of the easily found methods and here and multiple other forums.

The other vibrant I have? Hold vol-/+ plug usb = instant dlm. The first also would not do recovery mode either..the second? hold vol-/+ power, on samsung logo screen release power = instant recovery mode.

So yes, the issue does exist in a crappy factory boot loader, and yes there is a fix for it. Only thing the fix does not work if you cannot get into dlm and are stuck at the phone-!-pc screen as far as I know.

As for the date on the box. Who knows. The factory probably has multiple production lines running (as most do if one knows anything about manufacturing), or multiple shifts of production. That being said you theoretically buy two Vibrants with the same date and could have one good and one hw locked depending upon the production line or shift that did that portion of the day's run.

I messed up and got impatient with odin.

Now, I'm at the dreaded phone! comp screen

I have tried everything in vain. I only got to DL mode with that ADB script: as all other attempts to enter dl mode failed.

I have tried the vol + and - no go

I've tried the vol + and - with power and wait until the vibrant screen pops up. I just get a repeating blinking phone to comp icon.:confused:

I had root and I removed the one click lag fix v2-3 yesterday.

Any ideas? or is a trip to tmo in my future?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southplatte:
Common theme I've found on getting to DL mode from the forums and one that works on my other vibrant is to

1. power phone off

2. disconnect usb from phone

3. hold vol+ and vol-

4. plug usb to phone

there are several other methods people mention working that I could never get to work properly...some of them I am sure are junk to begin with and others very well may work so search around and try any/all combos.

If all to no avail, then yup trip to tmo. FYI my local store said they had zero "warranty" stock for replacement and had yet to ever receive any warranty stock, so I had to call to get one shipped.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobsoe:
I'm on 50+ attempts and no go.

I'll drop by the local tmo and see. I have a feeling that I'll have to call as I got my original from them and not locally

btw thanks for the reply
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trunkstar1:
It may or may not help, but I was stuck at the dreaded phone! comp screen for a bit and finally got to download mode by:

removing battery from my phone

restarting my laptop

plugging USB into the laptop

inserting battery into my phone

holding volume up and volume down at the same time

plugging USB into the phone (while holding the volume rocker down of course)

Here's another method someone gave me. I never had to try it because the steps above worked, but:

"you need to hold down the up/down volume and the power button. The yellow triangle image will go dark and come back. You need to wait till after it goes dark twice then when the image shows up for the third time release the volume side. wait about 5 seconds and release the power. Should jump you back into download so make sure your odin is up and ready"

Hope that helps.

no matter what i do, nothing. i feel like there must be some way to get around the phone ! comp screen on hardware locked phones, what does samsung do when they get them to fix, just toss them in the garbage? lol

as i have already had 3 exchanges (first vibrant touch screen stopped working, second one (that they sent me) had burn in of what looked like the battery full notification on the screen, and the most recent one (that i got in store) is the one i bricked trying to update) i am actually waiting back on a tmo voice ticket to see if they'll exchange it for a g2 since i just don't even want another samsung.

in the mean time i'm using a nokia e73 loaner phone lol it's pretty bad i want to cry
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southplatte:
Who knows....maybe they have a low-level way to flash. My bet is they pop a new board in and send it out as a 'refurb' and that's what the warranty replacements consist of.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonie972:
damn, add me to the list. i can't get it to work!

Edit: Got it to work with both volumes and power. I tried that many times but couldn't get it to work. After I did the ADB Reboot Download still wouldn't work so I tried the volumes and power and it worked!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_tytnii:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topxshelfxtre:
I do this and it sends me straight to samsung stock recovery mode?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikin:
you CAN make a jig to go into recovery mode, but you would have to have some soldering experience.

if you are referring to the post by master, then nope. it sends you to the android download mode. it's the one with the big triangle and the robot cleaning the doodoo on the floor :).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradoxiumwind:

Bad Kernel? Bad Radio? What?

I've used quite a few different ROMs. (Enom, Kang [CM], MIUI, and most recently, Rodriguezstyle's miui.)

But, the problem keeps happening, despite wiping between each ROM.

is it the radio? or the kernel? I think it might be, but I'm fairly certain I have the right kernel...and I upgraded my radio when I went to Froyo...

Gah.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wonderboy1:
I dunno about the kernel, but from what I've heard, if you have the wrong radio your n1 will be bricked. So I guess it's not the radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
It's not a problem, I've been living with it. It's just rather annoying...

Maybe it's an app I have installed? Or things aren't...done right? Augh idk.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmarti:
Change the Kernel and that will fix it, pershoot's worked the best for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Do you have to pull the battery when it reboots?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
I've changed it to many kernels. Right now i'm using this one:

2.6.35.4-950mV-BFS-SVS-AIX-720p-Monks-082710

No. I will be chilling on the phone, and then I will randomly see the boot image.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Are you overclocked?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Not that I'm aware of. I don't even have setcpu installed anymore.

So unless the roms themselves overclock, then no. I upgraded my

kernel, but it has done a random shut off once since then. But it's

not that often. Not as often as it was at least.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubaya:
Do you have more than one battery to try? My phone locked up or randomly rebooted several times a day when I was using Cyanogen 6rc1, but it only did it with one battery and ran fine with the other. The problem went away after I updated CM though.

My theory is that my "bad" battery is damaged slightly enough that it conflicted with something particular in that rom (also happened with 3-4 different kernels). I don't know anything about batteries, but if that's accurate, I don't see why a battery couldn't be damaged enough to conflict with all roms.

It doesn't sound like your problem exactly, but might be one of the simpler things to try, especially if you have a spare or could borrow one or something.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergioalvarezmac:
Try to extract the SD-card and Power ON the phone without it. If the phone works

well in that condition, problem solved.

Something like this happens to me one time, all I do was to format the entire SD-card

in my iMac with the Disk Utility, filling all the space with zeros (0) for be sure all the

data was erased correctly. Then I make the partitions again, flash a ROM and all

is fine now.

Good luck!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsrider:
I had the same problem. Phone would reboot during many tasks. This would happen with any ROM even stock. I sent the phone to htc and they changed the motherboard under warranty. I noticed it first started to happen with robo defense and then other apps such as YouTube or browsing the net. I wasn't able to use the phone while it was charging or it would reboot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
My phone isn't that bad, and no luck with the sd card thing.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
If you buy it off from google store, it comes with a 1 year manufacture warranty, call HTC and get a replacement device
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
I don't believe I ever filled out the warranty, can I still get it replaced?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Sorry for the double post, but I'm really curious...about the warranty thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickerbob:
This is my suggestion as well. A friend of mine had this problem. There was a corrupt video on his sd card that caused the entire issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandmasterethel:
I am inclined to agree with the SD card issue. I've had the same thing before, and even recently. Try backing up the contents of your SD card, then format the entire thing, and try it back in the phone without putting anything onto it. If it works, put things back bit by bit and then if it stops working you can narrow down what is corrupted.

I hope that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Thanks, I'll try that. I am kind of interested as to whether or not my warranty will still work. Cause I do believe my trackball is going out (can't scroll right)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanh1289:
no you do not have to fill out any type of paper work to receive that warranty. When you call HTC they will ask for your IMEI number that number will tell them when you bought it, if it was purchased less than a year ago they will give you a new replacement device
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Awesome! I'll give them a call in a few days. I have a flexplay plan, and my month is up like tomorrow, and I can't afford the phone bill anyways =D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmasque:
Yeah, you really should return it. I had same problem and tried everything to fix it over space of two weeks. Returned and had motherboard replaced.

Hi all,

I'm using Lotus Traveler for mail and calendar sync with our Domino server. Everything works just fine except one thing...

When I create a new appointment/meeting in my calendar in Lotus Notes client and then synchronize it with my Blackstone, I can see all details in HTC Sense calendar. But when someone else invite me, I cannot see any details regarding this calendar entry, just subject and time - no room specification, no atendees etc.

A workaround is to use Windows calendar as I can see all details in it.

Could anyone help me please how to fix this?

When installing a custom boot animation can i just use Root Explorer to move the .zip to /System/Media folder ... And will that work? do i need to remove anything?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Root Explorer FTW! That's what I always use to move my animations. I found it a good practice to delete or move the previous bootanimation.zip because I had a suspicion that overwriting it with the new one didn't always work properly. I didn't do a lot of research on this however, but, I figure, better safe than sorry. Why not eliminate potential problems before they arise? Just make sure the original bootanimation.zip isn't in the /data/local file as that is another place the animation can be stored and work from. I actually think it looks in that folder first before browsing the /system/media folder. Hope this helps.

While pressing both above, press power and release after it starts.
