I updated to J16 last night via odin and everything seems to be running fine. I was on stock kernel, rooted, and undid OCLF. I had to root again with the update.zip because the OCLF root didn't work (lag fix still works w/ 2331 quadrant if anyone is interested).

Biggest noticed changes have been task manager, i lock on 8 to 9 satellites while in my apt compared to 2 or 3, font seems to have changed...I don't think i did that lol, and I no longer have any vibration capabilities. Has anyone else had the vibe issue, or any ideas on how to fix it besides the obvious?

Edit: I found in another forum that OCLF 2.1 does not allow vibration on JI6. OCLF V1 lagfix still allows it.
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
One thing I noticed is the Sims 10th anv. game isnt there just collectors or what ever it original was . I dont really care though I don't play it . I'm just saying .
[Vibrant General] evanef:
Sounds like you need drivers. Samsungs NPS (New PC Studio) will install these for you...and its free.
[Vibrant General] rorycs:
Hey, I am no expert, but the same thing happened to me. Make sure that ODIN is open on your computer, then hold the volume buttons down and plug in the USB. It should then show that drivers are being installed and when it is done, you will see it in ODIN.
[Vibrant General] kcbboy:
unplug the usb from the computer and plug it back in. You were probably not connected.
[Vibrant General] timmonss:
I got my OTA last night at about 3am. I'm rooted with OCLF, I reversed the lag fix since I saw everybody's issues. The update went very smooth, and it didnt even reverse the root on my phone. I'm very happy with the new update!
[Vibrant General] JayfromBK86:
Did the update via ODIN... couldn't ask for a more simpler process. Literally took me 9 mins to apply update and then re-root!:D

Help with ji6 info - stock vibrant

Sorry - misunderstood
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Not happy at all :)

But, I still did it for you guys :)
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
This is the SAME OTA UPDATE.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
So did anyone notice battery drain on JI6 vs before ?

In dev section people are switching to JI2 radio/modem because of the battery issues....
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Well hey guys, RHCP (the OP) put a LOT of time and effort into getting the JI6 update and then posting the info here. "Thanks" are a good starting point but I think a small donation would be helpful in keeping things rolling. Send him a buck if you can. ;)
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
JI6 has better data throughput and JI2 has better battery life.

I honestly have no issue with JI6. Its up to you. You can flash any modem bin you like. It wont hurt your phone.

Also, People need to do the full battery discarge let it charge then do a clockwork (wipe battery) (Most do not do this)
[Vibrant General] 97dakota:
I did the update last night via odin and this afternoon i noticed that the market is missing alot of apps. has any one else noticed this as well
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
I believe that was a problem with the leaked JI6 make sure you downloaded the right file .
[Vibrant General] 97dakota:
i downloaded the one from this thread.
[Vibrant General] biggiep:
I'm trying to re-root my phone after doing an ODIN stock JI6 flash. I tried using one-click root and the superuser permissions app force closes everytime. I tried rooting by downloading another update.zip file, transfering it to the internal memory, and rebooting to recovery via adb. Same problem: superuser permissions crashes everytime I need to give root access. Can anyone help me with the problem?!

I was rooted before the update to JI6, but I did not do the lagfix and was on the stock firmware.
[Vibrant General] evanef:
You could try reinstall packages through recovery with update.zip in internal memory...hope it helps.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Ji6 uses different framework-res than stock JFD, head over to the apps section and download circular battery mod for JI6.

I stupidly softbricked my phone last night with an old circular battery mod after I upgraded via ODIN.

I just ODIN it again to JI6, and used the correct version of the battery mod.
[Vibrant General] j_r0dd:
This is newer than the one that was leaked a few days ago.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
There are two JI6 updates from samsungwares, one is from Sept 22nd build, and another one (OTA) from Sept 28th build.

The one referenced here is the OTA update.
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
You asked if the OTA is the same as the leak from last week. It's not and that's why I answered that it wasn't. But a new update here has been produced based on the OTA, so if that's what you downloaded, then it is the same.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
I shalll put it in the OP stating this is the TRUE OTA. For people who dont want to read :)

OP updated.
[Vibrant General] biggiep:
Yes. I tried that. And Superuser Permissions still force closes so wtf.
[Vibrant General] sano614:
Is anyone else having any issues with seeing certain apps in the marketplace with this update? Still can't see Fandango..
[Vibrant General] gr8177063:
Not able to delete bloatware using root explorer after getting J16 via ODIN...I rerooted using update.zip and OCLF from the market and it appears that I am rooted...any else having this problem...
[Vibrant General] biggiep:
Same deal here. Superuser permissions app shows up in the app drawer, but running leads to a force closure. Running any app that requests su access also leads to a force closure. I have no idea what to do.

Also, trying adb shell and typing in su at the prompt leads to "permission denied," so it's as if the root process only installed the superuser permissions apk and didn't actually root the phone to provide su access.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Download busybox from market then run it and update it then after it updates and you have the latest busybox go back to root explorer and delete the bloat ware dont know why this works but it does.
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Sorry for the confusion that was not my intention. I downloaded the file linked in this thread so then it IS the same as the OTA.

Thanks Lex.
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Yes but make no mistake, I read the entire thread and then was confused by a post over at Android Forums.

I don't doubt that this is the OTA JI6 now.
[Vibrant General] mr_hd:
awesome got it on my vibrant finally,

it also has a new samsung widget, from the task killer samsung has in this firmware.

now i was wondering if i wanted to add a custom rom would i be able to do it through odin? its really easy so hopefully :)
[Vibrant General] Fictional Reality:
I just want to give thanks to the tw rhcp. This update has VASTLY IMPROVED MY RADIO. I live in a low reception area and everything has improved, even the wifi reception. I get 4 bars on my reception constantly. The data transmission is way better. The gps is still acting like it has down syndrom though. I'm contemplating even using OCLF I'm not sure I even need it now. Thanks a ton man, your the best. When my deposit clears on tuesday expect me to light your paypal up. rhcp = red hot chili peppers?
[Vibrant General] gr8177063:
Thanks AustinKnight45...that worked perfectly.
[Vibrant General] chocobo15:
sorry, kind of a newb with android, but I was using JAC's OC/UV kernal, and now I flashed back to stock kernel, but I'm still rooted.

A while back I remember reading that it didn't matter if you were rooted, you'd sitll be able to get the OTA update.

I'm back to stock with only a root, launcher pro, mobile AP, will I still be able to receive the OTA update?

I tried to search, but the results were so convoluted, i figure it may just be faster to post :(
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
Did you flash with odin or Clockwork ?
[Vibrant General] Fictional Reality:
Ok, nevermind I can see why I would want to go back to the lag fix lol this phone screams now, seems even faster, I could just be drunk....

OTA J16 bricked phone, working with ODIN flash

Got the OTA update this morning and, like many others, got stuck at the "Vibrant" screen. After much hair pulling and searching the forums/web, as well as several calls to Tmo, I ended up flashing back to JDF with ODIN.

This worked fine to get the phone working again, and all of my pics/vids were still on the internal card. Unfortunately, all of my apps were gone.

Tried the *#*#CHECKIN#*#* code found in this thread with no results.

I found, a bit too late, the downloadable ODIN image of J16 and flashed it. Other than a slow first boot and some lag until I restarted it once, everything is perfect. Launcher and apps seem snappier, new features all work well, and seems to be no lag now when waking the screen.

Thankfully I had backed up *most* of my apps with Titanium ahead of time, so all but the most recently added were easily re-installed.

A few hours later and I'm back up and running with noticeable improvements.

I dont see the difference in the "HD Camcorder" I already had this res on my camera before the update, but I have been using the replacement camera app from the Captivate, so maybe its that. I still prefer it, the options are easier to reach without digging through menus.

Now if Samsung/Tmobile could just get off their asses with that promised 2.2 update, I could once again be happy with it.

Lessons learned:

Back up apps often with Titanium

Back up ROM often with Clockwork

Postpone any new OTA updates until after doing #1 and #2

Next phone I'm going back to HTC hardware.

BTW: In my calls to Tmo today, some uninformed rep in the loyalty department (best way to get their attention fast is to say 'cancel' when the voice recognition system answers) said that the Vibrant isnt getting 2.2 which we all know isnt true. But when I got to the tier 3 smartphone tech, I asked him about that and he confirmed that they had been told internally by "the big guys up in washington" that it WILL be rolled out very soon to the Vibrant and about 3 other phones he named. Of course, as with all of the other intel regarding froyo on this phone, it is nothing but hearsay.

MANY MANY thanks to all of the people in this forum and thread for getting the files we all need, and the answers and instructions to use them properly.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
[Vibrant General] Satmanshorty:
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the great info!

i was on kies JI5, rooted, Clockwork, and Titanium Backup and i just followed instructions for using Odin and flashing JI6 tar file. Everything worked perfectly. Used the One click root program from TGA_Gunnman's post and had root back with all data and apps intact. Root was only thing gone.

Thanks again

Sound and Display Settings FC after Flashing J16

I flashed J16 9/28 build via ODIN last night and everything seemed to be be fine. Then I was playing around with it and noticed that under settings>sound and display> everytime I try to change ringer volume, system volume, or brightness I get: (process com.android.settings) stopped unexpectedly. Everything else in settings and the rest of the phone works perfect. Running stock ROM, mobile ap applied, have clockwork and titanium loaded, no lag or gps fixes and phone is rooted. Setting worked fine before J16 flash...anyone else run into this or know how to fix it? :confused:
[Vibrant General] evanef:
That may be an issue unique to your phone...I have no problem with the sound/display, and we have similar set ups. I do have OCLF though.

*Did you delete any bloatware? You may have accidentally deleted something you shouldn't have.
[Vibrant General] gr8177063:
I lost root access when I flashed it and I had this issue before I re-rooted and started deleting some bloatware so that doesn't appear to be it...stumped...
[Vibrant General] red96turbols:
I was excited about the ota, until I found out it was not the promised 2.2. I'm going to deny the ota, if I ebert get it because one the so called lag doesn't happen on this one unless my history, running apps, and text threads get too large, and my gps works just fine aside from the occasional mis representation of my location, but update route out refresh usually takes care of that. Very disappointed they keep dicking us around like this. The gps ota should have been out within weeks of release. Tmo and samsung have just made an epic fail and lost any future purchases and contracts from me. love the phone though, just tired of lies and **** support. They might as well just push 1.6 to us.
[Vibrant General] evanef:
If you have any backups from before flashing the OTA, you could try reinstalling your apps...worth a try.
[Vibrant General] wannagofast:
rhcp thank you. Donation made. Have a good wedding. Everything looks to be in fine working order on my phone for the past 6 hours since I flashed.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Thank you. im glad i helped alot of people here and helped rom developers make roms off this.
[Vibrant General] crtsj:
Just got mine. Smooth & quick. Houston Tx
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
You might want to flash JI6. It is a vast improvement in all aspects. Only problem that I have noticed is that the battery drains faster, but that is because the modem is stronger so you get better reception with a trade off of a quicker dead battery.
[Vibrant General] sumasage:
How fast do you define battery drain? I left my phone alone for about an hour and lost about 3-6%. Another weird thing is my phone is at 91%, i plug in the charger and it instantly jump to 94%. I thought it was pretty odd so i unplug the charger again and it jump back to 91%, plug in again and it goes back to 94%. Does this mean defected battery or phone unit?? I dont think that should be happening.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
i have the same issue as well, well my solution for this is that when you charge your phone, turn it off and make sure it displays the 100%. or if you don't want to turn it off just let it say battery full but don't unplug it yet, just leave it there for 10-15 mins.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
Ya I dont know why but it did, happy it helped I was getting pissed I couldn't delete the bloat ware. I asked on here if anyone knew how to fix this issue it seemed like I fell on dead ears so I figured it out in a few hours;)
[Vibrant General] mistabeo:
thanks.. i guess i'll just have to wait.
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
3 weeks for JI6? Why?

Why the heck is it taking so long to get JI6? 3weeks?

Why not allow a manual update for those wanting it now?
[Vibrant General] wildklymr:
If something goes wrong with the update, like unforseen bricking, they can stop it with relatively small percentage of replacements needed. And to cut down on network bandwidth usage.

Edit: did the math, could be wrong, but figuring in august galaxy s sales in the us reached 1 million and that was only between captivate and vibrant. Even if vibrant was only 30% that would be 300000 units. Each rom is around 160mb. If they did it all on one day it would be 48 terabytes of data in one day... Chances are tmo sold more, but I couldn't find numbers.
[Vibrant General] KnottyBitz:
Best educated guess folks

Once the OTA is applied, if you later have to do a factory reset, will JI6 have to be re applied? Same true for Froyo?
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
You shouldn't have to re-apply after a factory reset.
[Vibrant General] mr_hd:
Agreed, imagine froyo .__.
[Vibrant General] wildklymr:
Bump!

Seriously, anyone out there with the ota already? If you have the sdk installed it takes 2 minutes to do what the op asked. Then we can all settle down and either wait for hopefully stable goodness or go back to our favorite custom roms.
[Vibrant General] eortizr:
Seriously? no body....?:eek:
[Vibrant General] cparekh:
The problem is that everyone who reads this forum is already running some form of the leaked JI6 and won't get the update. ;)
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
OK guys, so I can't be more patient anymore and I've come up with my own personal opinion here that OTA JI6 is different from leaked JI6. The reason being the changelog states OTA JI6 provides Sims 3 anniversary edition while the leaked JI6 provides Sims 3 collectors edition.

What do you think? ;)
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
samsungtweets

RT @GalaxySsupport JI6 OTA now released for Vibrant! Watch for msg on phone letting y know the update is ready! Thanks for your patience! (@, ☆, #)

So, get checking!
[Vibrant General] Shagman68:
I have JI2 installed, should I still get notified when an update is ready?

Sent from my Vibrant using the XDA app.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
I dont think you are going to get notified while running a leak or a rom. Since they are all based on leaks.

I would think you'd need to go back to stock.

but, Dont take me at my word here. I am not 100% :)
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
I noticed that too. I hope it does mean that JI6 is different, because I'm currently running the leaked JI6 flashed clean from stock and there are still some issues from where I'm standing.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
wwwwoooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww, sooo I just got home, Last thing I did was let my friend use my phone... I got the OTA and I guess he said ok.

now my phone wont go past the Vibrant Samsung screen.

wtf do i do :-/
[Vibrant General] Deadsilent14:
Just wait a little longer, it could take a while.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
Its been a full hour of me sitting here, saying that to my self.

I didnt want to update untill i took off OCLF, im hoping it did not brick it.

I dont know enough about this undo what ever happened. I cant even get it to the recovery screen. It makes the turning on noise but the screen just sits at the 1st black screen with "vibrant" and "samsung" wrote on it.

ugh i hate learning
[Vibrant General] Deadsilent14:
The OCLF could be a problem... I'm guessing you'll have to restore it back via Odin, but unfortunately you probably won't get the update notice again right after. That's what happened to me, except I didn't have any lag fix, I thought that the phone bricked after the update because it was hanging on the screen for a while. Turns out I just didn't wait long enough and I Odined back to stock before realizing my mistake.
[Vibrant General] ipeench:
I figured that the lag fix being the ext2 would be fine, and the update would just restore everything.. i know with voodoo that i would of had to disable it.. but i assumed that just like the bionix rom it would not matter :-/ ugh...

do you think that i should turn the phone on and just let it sit?? i dunno if that would make a difference. i think ill just odin it back to stock (soon as i figure out exactly what the hell that even means ha)
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
I'm really surprised as to how big of a problem it has been for people installing the OTA with a lagfix enabled. It has been clearly stated that any time you do a nandroid backup, flash another rom, pretty much do anything development related to the phone, you should first disable the lagfix. Why would an OTA update be any different? I for one am hoping that at least 1 person who is lucky enough to get the OTA can do the community a favor and dump it since it looks like neither t-mobile or samsung are going to post a download version anywhere
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yep, I can't see it either. I also lost Remote for iTunes and it no longer appears in the Market. One consolation is that I now have Angry Birds Lite.
[Vibrant General] heeljeff:
Had a similar issue. The ota gave me a soft brick at the Vibrant screen. I downloaded the jI6 odin all in one package and put the phone back to original.tar. After that, I rooted, added clockwork and mobile ap. Then noticed my volume settings gave the same error as yours. I went back to odin, flashed T959UVJI6.tar, and my volume setting are fixed. Of course I lost root and mobile AP.
[Vibrant General] Siks:
Did you have the Mobile AP installed prior to updating to JI6? If so you might wanna go to the Mobile AP thread to download & flash the JI6 version of the mod. The issues you're having sound like that's the culprit.
[Vibrant General] sano614:
Is there any sort of quick fix to be able to see all the missing apps in the market place?
[Vibrant General] mustang_52:
I'd like to know the same thing. Can't see all my apps.
[Vibrant General] heeljeff:
Good thinking...95% sure that is what caused it for me.
[Vibrant General] avogl:
After doing the JI6 OTA update via Odin I also could not find Fandango and certain other apps in the market and had certain apps missing which was not the case with the leaked JI6. I did the market fix which was posted for the leaked JI2 update where you edit 2 lines in build.prop where you change JI6 to JFD (in ro.build.description and ro.build.fingerprint.) I re-booted the phone and the apps were still missing but went back an hour later and everything was working (no missing apps and could find everything in the market.)
[Vibrant General] sano614:
I used the Eris Market Fix in the marketplace and that fixed it.
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
I think i discovered a huge issue with the new firmware. When i have a second line calling me the screen does not wake up allowing me to switch to the second call. In the past, when a second call comes in the proximity sensor would wake the screen and allow me to take or reject the call. Now i cant even see who is calling. Since i use the phone for business, this is a big, big issue. Anyone else experience this?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Losing 6% in an hour not even using the phone is very bad. For me, I lost 25% in 30 minutes over 3g just using the xda app. I believe they increased the strength of the radio but now that causes more battery drain.
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Short answer is no. Mine is working normally after the Odin JI6 update.

I just tested in bluetooth headset, speakerphone and handset modes and my screen wakes up on an incoming call every single time.

I'm self employed and use this phone daily in my business so I know what you mean, I couldn't tolerate a problem like the one you mentioned.
[Vibrant General] rel500:
guys have you tried reconditioning your batterys? I too was having similiar problems yesterday after flashing bionix 1.7.. i reconditioned my battery and i have used my phone 1hr 10mins and only lost 1%.. and i had the phone connected to my cars radio while listening to music (20min car ride using music pro) and also played about 10 mins of word fued...

have phone clocked at 200min 1000max

auto brightness on
[Vibrant General] sano614:
Condition battery = Draining it until it's completely dead, then charge to full?
[Vibrant General] robo21:
Interesting GPS Results

At first, I was less than excited with the GPS results improvement after updating to the official OTA JI6 with Odin. I was getting the same old performance in Google Maps as before, yes I could navigate but occasionally I was getting slow lock and slow position location.

Sure I was seeing and locking more birds with GPS Test and LbsTest and doing so much faster than ever.

Yet, strangely I still had the same old results with Google Maps. My wife (I know - of all people :o ) said "Try uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps honey."

Well I'll be darned! Un-freakin-believable! Now my real world (aka Google Maps) results match my testing app results! My position shows up consistently and immediately. Score another one for the wife!
[Vibrant General] gr8177063:
Flashed J16 MobileAP and that fixed the problem....Thanks for your help.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
70 minutes of use then lose 1%? wow!!!! that's a very good battery huh,
[Vibrant General] rkwarner2:

Hey all.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the info. Just got done flashing both my girlfriends and mine Vibrants to the JI6 update, and everything went great!

Next: going to try some bionix...

Later

Hey can i ask did you uninstall the Google Maps Update. Or all of Google Maps? How did you Uninstall it?
