Does anyone know if the JI6 update fixes the file system issues that slowed this phone down so much? Or after the JI6 update are we going to need to have another lag fix installed?
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
Mine said "There are no updates for this device". So luckily I created a backup via ROM MANAGER before I installed JI5...so I am restoring to see if that fixes this issue or not.
[Vibrant Android Development] inverseflux:
Anyone have a direct link to this OTA update?

Going under the assumption that this is similar to my old G1 where I would just get direct downloads upon 'release'... :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] Frizzmmm:
Has anyone checked OCLF? I.E. will it cause you to lose vibration if you use his v2.1 lagfix like JI5 and JI6(leaked) did? I havent gotten the notification for the update yet, just wondering if it had been tested.
[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
Using Bionix 1.6 which is based on the leaked JI6, yes, the lag is a fair bit better. It's still slower than using an ext filesystem based lagfix though. I'm only talking about my personal day-to-day use here, I haven't tried firing up any benchmarks.
[Vibrant Android Development] gsokrispy3130:
My vibrant comes tomorrow in the mail, if anyones got the update yet, does this fix the lag that the 'onetouchlagfix' does as well or has anyone done quadrant after updating yet?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
If anyone got the OTA JI6 update.

Please post the build.date here. from the build.prop in /system

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
Still got the message "This device does not support Firmware Upgrade" via KIES

ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
That suggests the possibility that those with the JI5 firmware doesn't necessarily mean they won't get the OTA. Time will tell.
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
But i restored back before I applied the JI5 update and am still getting this message.
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
Right. I'm sorry, I guess my original message was a bit unclear. What I mean to point out is, your tests suggest it doesn't matter whether you're on stock or JI5 firmware - they both got those error message on Kies. Which means, the error message doesn't have to do with JI5 itself.

As someone on JI5 (I flashed via Odin though, not Kies), it gives me a sign of hope that the official JI6 OTA will come to JI5.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcbboy:
I'm on stock JFD and I checked kies and came up with nothing.
[Vibrant Android Development] rosco32:
It was pulled from kies gotta wait for the update
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Crap. I really hope the official OTA update isn't the same JI6 that was leaked. The GPS was better in JI2 and the compass was working perfectly in JI5, but it's wonky again in JI6. For whatever reason none of the ROM chefs are serving up any love for the compass either. Am I the only one that cares about having the compass working? :p
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
I found JI6 to be a little less zippy as well. The lag seemed to creep back, however, many reported that flashing JI6 over JI5 without the PIT file (without wiping) meant it slowed the phone down.

I'm wondering if the official JI6 OTA - if we get it - will have the same problem when updating over JI5...
[Vibrant Android Development] kcbboy:
If you're so worried about flashing JI6 over JI5 and having issues then flash back to stock. They even warned you not to flash JI5.
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
I had a ROM MANAGER backup before I flashed the JI5 update. So reverted back to that.
[Vibrant Android Development] vaughnsphotoart:
Yeah, AFTER many of us had already done it.
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
I dont think JI5 matters. My problem with connecting via KIES was my phone was not in KIES mode. Also, someone said KIES pulled the JI6 update.
[Vibrant Android Development] turtleman13:
I think i got the OTA without my knowledge because my baseband verison is jI6 and i though the baseband was the radio/modem

Or could it have come from me flash the gps files but the gps should have affected the baseband verison

Is there a way to check if you have the OTA
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
I thought you had to use odin because nandroids dont backup the kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] jdkackley:
You are correct. You could however flash a rom that uses the stock kernel then nandroid back to your back up, if that better suits you. Just remember to disable voodoo if you use it.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcbboy:
your build number should say eclair.uvji6 or something like that if you have it.
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
So flashing Bionix 1.3 then going back with nandroid should work?
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
I just tried flashing Bionix 1.3, and my baseband still says JI6 - I flashed Frankin Twiz Final a couple days ago. Going to try flashing the Stock kernel linked earlier in this thread maybe ...
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Same here, even did a nandroid restore and I am still sitting at JI6. Maybe its time to odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
Does clockwork recovery ROM MANAGER use nandroid? I backed up my phone using this and restored in prep for the update. curious if I need to do something different.
[Vibrant Android Development] vgz01:
There is a flashable .zip that reverts your phone back to the stock kernel. If memory serves me right, Eugene posted it in his Vibrant 9 thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743769
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Is it the vibrant 9 rom that I would flash that contains the stock jfd kernel? Or is it somewhere in that 100+ page thread?

Edit: Never mind, found it linked in the OP of that thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
Would I have to do this if I backed up my phone using ROM manager?

EDIT: Never mind, it does backup the kernel so I should be good. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
Just to be sure: is JFD considered "stock"?
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
yes JFD is stock for Vibrant
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
nUb question

when flashing back to stock (no lag fix or anything)...

1. flash stock kernel.

2. flash stock rom.

in that order correct?

I would like to try my luck with JI6
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
Good question. I thought whne you use Odin and JFD it will flash the stock kernel automatically.
[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
man i am confused, I am on bionix 1.5 with voodoo kernal. I have disabled voodoo now want to back to stock. So as per someone's suggestion flash Vibrant 9 or just flash stock kernel?
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
I effed mine up like this with voodoo. Once I was at that screen nothing would fix it. Thank God t-mobile replaced mine :D :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] eortizr:
So did anyone got a hold of the update? that can post back if it is or is not the same leaked JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] INeFFeCTiVE:
> i was going for the Clockwork recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
Anyone got a flashable zip od the stock Jfd radio?
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
That would mean: flash, root, install CWR, flash kernel....Would be nice to get the flashing done at once.
[Vibrant Android Development] Bugdog:
I just tried flashing the stock kernel posted in Eugene's Vibrant9 thread, but no go - I'm still on JI6 baseband. Flashed it through cw recovery. Running out of options here without going to ODIN, I guess ...
[Vibrant Android Development] MisterKrispy:
This is why I asked about a stock Jfd radio in the post above. Baseband is the radio. If you flashed the stock kernel then you are halfway there.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Exactly rhcp112345 has a thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802240 requesting people who got OTA to post the build.date from the build.prop in /system

This way we'd know if the leaked update is same as OTA
[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
let me know how it goes. I have never used odin because of all the brick horror stories. I want to back to stock to receive the ota. My battery life on Bionix 1.5 is horrible.
[Vibrant Android Development] velocd:
Just went through with odin, super easy. Grabbed the 3 file pack from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

Getting into download mode was tricky.

Here is what worked for me

1. Pull Battery, Sim, and SD

2. Plug in USB

3. Hold down Vol up and Vol Down

4. While holding Vol+ and Vol- place battery back in, bam.....download mode.

I tried it like 10 times to make sure it was consistent. Which is was.

Then load the 512 pit file into the PIT area and the JFD.tar into the PDA area.

I actually just got it into download mode another way by accident. I was rooting my phone and attempting to go into recovery mode.

I had the USB plugged in holding down vol+ and vol- and hit the power button but released it on accident before I saw vibrant come on the screen and it went into download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] onthecouchagain:
I have JI5 flashed. My kernel reads 2.6.29. Are JFD/Stock kernels different?

My main concern is whether the official JI6 OTA will have issues updating over JI5, like it did when I tried flashing to JI6 over JI5 - without PIT/wipe (lag creeped back, etc).
[Vibrant Android Development] badaphooko01:
wow that was super easy, don't know how all these dudes get bricked all the time. I used that same pack from jac and followed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnY7P14JSWQ

The message is "dm initialization is not ready check network or sim card" this just means the "dm" process isn't running. "dm" is device management. It's three process that checks for updates in the background.

Afaik, you can't force a pull. The update will be pushed. When you get the push, dm will know, and put a notification in the task bar. The best you can do is make sure dm is running by clicking software update, and seeing the no firmware pop up. If you get the dm message, reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
exactly what i was getting ready to say. i'm sure there can't be too much of a difference tho. just some touch ups.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
If it were different you would think that the build number would be different.....

i think target sells a keychain compass for 5 bucks. just an idea.
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Orly? Will that work with Google Skymaps, Layar, Google Maps, and other apps that use the compass to determine your heading?

You just got me thinking...road maps are pretty cheap. I wonder why people are so upset about the GPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
Does this OTA a complete rom that will wipe out previous settings and data or is it an "update" over stock?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Very good question. Sure doesn't seem like too many people are getting the update today...:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] mobilebone:
The announcement said that it would start on the 7th.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
i say treat it like a computer. always best to do a reformat before re-installing the OS. just my two cents.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
LOL. sarcasm matched with even better sarcasm. i like it. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Compasses need calibration, so if you haven't you should..

Use Wireless Networks affects the GPS. I don't know why, but it does. If you're having problems getting a lock you should disable it.
[Vibrant Android Development] dex1701:
Just came from picking up that compass from Target. It's ok, but not great. The GPS doesn't seem to work and it's a little laggy. :(

:p

Yeah, I've calibrated the bajeezus out of it. Still no joy. I even flashed back to stock and re-partitioned before flashing JI6, so I'm pretty sure it's a clean flash. It sort of works...maybe even a tad better than it does on the stock ROM, but not anywhere near as well as it did on JI5.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
I thought I'd add my two cents,as how to get into download mode.I'm currently running stock,with root.I've flashed Eugene's 4,6,9,hybrid etc and bionx's 1 thru 1_4,all of which we're great in their own right.

I hold volume down and power and that's it.That's without phone plugged in and it takes four or five seconds.I know it may be different from phone to phone and whether your booting from a different rom or not.

P.S.I'm currently stock(minus some bloat)because I'm hoping for some over due juice from Samsung and t-mobile.
[Vibrant Android Development] lrdm:
While JI6 is a great update for GPS, I have found it to be slower than prior updates, even with OCLF and flashing straight from JFD. I hope the official JI6 doesn't have this issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] JasonCook:

[Vibrant Android Development] fishman0919:
Yes, can be downloaded here LINK
[Vibrant Android Development] techbeck:
restart your phone
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Well yes....but just cause that is what shows doesn't mean you're on stock as most of the custom kernels will show that as well.

Flash the stock zip and you can watch and make sure it works or you can use set cpu to verify the date the kernel changed.

I am rooted with the 1 button root method, and have done the following:

Did the JI2 GPS fix

The Galaxy S boot animation

Deleted bloatware

Mobile AP mod

Flashed a new theme

Did the LCD density mod.

I DID NOT do any lag fixes.

Kernel is 2.6.69

Firmware 2.1-Update1

Baseband T959UVJFD

Build Eclair

Am I on the Stock Rom/Kernal? And would I run into any issues with the OTA?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hemo1001:
The problem:-

1- restarts many times.

2-randomly shut down when i open Wi-Fi or apps or use it for more than 5 mins.

3-can't turn on sometimes and can't turn on using charger , only pc companion.

4-Burning Smell.

i know there's another thread talks about this problem but pleaese it's a serious common problem , i bought the mobile yesterday and i can't replace it , i've seen this post in SE forms : -

............................................................................................................

It cost about more than 2 hours,and i sat near the engineer looked at what he was doing,everything.

1. He said before this one,he has fix 4 x10 with the same problem.He checked my phone and told me he must take the phone to parts,i agreeed.

2.The restart problem is neither a software problem nor briefly hardware problem.The reason most likely is welding procedure .Between X10's CPU and the chassis on the M/B there is no bayonet(i'm not sure it's the right word), so the closeness of them only depends on colophony(another word i use google to translate it) and solder (the third one).He said when x10 is koncked or bumped,fissure or something others may appear,and when CPU runs at a high level,the ammeter shows a number above 200mA,you can think its fever.Because goods expand with heat and contract with cold，here comes the flexibility.It may influence the contact between cpu and chassis.So the restart happens. He get the CPU off M/B,clear and rebuilt solder on them very carefully,and packed everything back.THIS COST TWO HOURS.

3.When parts became back to a phone,I push sim card,sd card back,truned it on,it booted successed.Then i run the Backup and Restore app,no problem.Before repaired erverytime i run it, the phone restarted.view www web use the brower by 3G, opened servel windows,no problem;Played Asphalt 5 for 10 mins,the phone became hot,still no problem.So i paid for it and left.That cost fuxk 500RMB,nearly 100$!!!!!!!!!!

4.When the engineer was soleing it, i talked to him,he said G7 also has a lot of problem,G7 use the smae CPU as x10,it also may restart.

............................................................................................................

anyone tried this?????

please if anyone has fixed this problem (i know i can change the motherboard but it cost alot , I need Electric solve) . and it's not a software problem at all and n ot in the battry .
