I am stuck on the Vibrant screen as well. I was rooted and had the OCLF with mobile AP.

From what I've seen it looks like most rooted phones if not all who got the OTA update gets the stuck Samsung load screen.

I'd suggest unrooting before updating.

As of right now I think the only way to fix this is either get a new phone from T-Mobile or flash back to stock with Odin.
[Vibrant General] vuvsion:
Got the OTA this morning, proceeded to install the update, my phone has been stuck on Vibrant/Samsung screen since 6:30 am.

After 2 hrs in the stage, I've pulled the battery, rebooted to the Vibrant/Samsung screen and got stuck there.

I've unrooted and uninstalled the lagfix yesterday in anticipating for this OTA.
[Vibrant General] Patolin:
I have my ooted

T-mobile just send and update but my phone is rooted should I get the update?

Thanks:)
[Vibrant General] kboater:
just rooted, no custom kernel?
[Vibrant General] kboater:
did you still have OCLF installed/enabled when you updated?

if so, that is probably what caused it.

hopefully not just bc you were rooted and had mobile AP.... ?
[Vibrant General] J3ST3RM4A3:
Nothing. A co-worker who has a Vibrant was able to update successfully so I have no clue. I've had this phone since July, hell I even ordered it a day before official release.
[Vibrant General] gancho:
If it helps I rooted with the one button root and had the Samsung mobile AP for tethering.

The update made it to somewhere over 60% then I had a message flash really quickly that said "Update is failed!". It then rebooted and has been stuck on the Vibrant screen ever since.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
damn, so you were unrooted, had uninstalled lag fix by the time you got OTA, no custom kernels, and it still got stuck...?

Sorry for all the questions guys, Im just thinking for those of you who got it successfully or not successfully should post as much info as possible so we can all be informed who to best prepare for it :)
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
To those with unexplained failures during the OTA update: Have you removed any T-Mobile bloatware? The experience of the recent OTA update for the Captivate was that removing any bloatware would croak the update, apparently by design. The Vibrant might have a similar poison pill.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
So unless some people can post that they were rooted and received OTA without any problems, it sounds like we should uninstall mobile AP and Unroot to prepare for this...? that sucks
[Vibrant General] kboater:
thats a good question, forgot to ask it above
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Sleepily clicked update, then looked here and prayed it would work. It updated ok. The phone is rooted, has the lag fix on, no startup animation, no startup or shutdown sound. I didn't touch it once I clicked update so don't press the power on / off switch. Took 5-10 minutes from the point I clicked update (or install or whatever it said).
[Vibrant General] peekapoo:
Which rom did you have? JFD, JI2, or j15?

wow, you were rooted, had lag fix and other Mods, and your update went Flawless...

I dont get it. others were much closer to stock and theirs stuck during update

I was asking all these questions because I thought we might be able to find some sort of common reason why some were getting stuck and others were not...

but if you were rooted w lag fix and other mods and it went fine, but others who were close to stock (just rooted) got stuck then I guess we cant really find a common theme on what to do...
[Vibrant General] gl1tchy:
Texas - Just got the updates this morning (notification of availability came in sometime earlier than 6am). Haven't fully tested everything yet.

BaseBand Version - T959UVJI6

Build Number - ECLAIR.UVJI6

The Batter full task bar notification is nice.

My phone kinda seems a little snappier.

I'll be testing my GPS when I go to lunch. If it gets connections and doesn't freeze up like it used to I'll be happy.
[Vibrant General] anubis342:
Yes, I had the OCLF installed and enabled when I was updated as well as being rooted with the mobile AP installed.

Looks like some rooted phones are ok and many rooted phones aren't.

I did not remove any program/bloatware from the stock rom. Only rooted, OCLF, and Mobile AP. I got the update notice at 4 am today so I didn't watch it install. So it is possible my update failed and the phone restarted and is now bricked.
[Vibrant General] kboater:
can you give us info on your phone mods or lack of when you got OTA please?

---trying to help everyone out by figuring out if a specific mod is causing problems
[Vibrant General] lorddart:
Or perhaps someone who has gotten the update would like to post the update.zip file so maybe we can have a greater amount of people testing it and trying to narrow down the issue... just my 2 cents
[Vibrant General] ninor:
I'm stuck on Vibrant screen too :(

I was rooted, no custom roms, removed some T-Mobile bloatware.

Help :(
[Vibrant General] J3ST3RM4A3:
I did do this.
[Vibrant General] ninor:
how can I ODIN back to stock and nandroid come back to it?
[Vibrant General] rshemeld:
what did you remove?
[Vibrant General] gl1tchy:
I have the stock rom.
[Vibrant General] mr_hd:
i'm in DC/VA no luck yet :\
[Vibrant General] gl1tchy:
Sorry man... I have the stock rom loaded. Didn't want to take any chances.
[Vibrant General] J3ST3RM4A3:
The Samsung bloatware, mainly MediaHub.
[Vibrant General] rshemeld:
i think that may be it because the update includes media hub update

anyone else that experienced the issue, that removed media hub?
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Whatever was out of the box when I got the phone on July 17th. Box says date 6/30/2010 does not indicate version. Did not look on the phone before the update.
[Vibrant General] aliensite:
Received update. I live in NYC but currently in Kissimmee FL. Launcher Pro and Youtube app with HD option (thanks XDA). Never noticed any lag issues.

Compass now work and GPS locked to 7 sats immediately, then to 10. Before it took a long time to lock to max 2-3 sats, and sometimes never. Media Hub now working.
[Vibrant General] markinct:
The only thing for it is to use Odin. See here.

I couldn't get mine to boot into recovery. The only way I was able to get it into download mode was to:

With phone OFF, connect to USB.

Once battery charge screen comes on and battery level indicator (green) is visible, press and hold VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER.

Once screen goes dark release POWER only, keep holding volume buttons. You'll quickly get the Android with a shovel screen.

Do the above after you've got Odin up and running and Odin should see your phone.

Good luck.
[Vibrant General] tru_mastapiece:
I had a hardware locked one & I calld tmobile having issues. With my original vibrant & the one I got wasn't hardware locked.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I'm pretty sure I had the update.zip still on the phone from rooting it. That seems to be gone now. Not sure if that has any effect.

Through window at desk weakly locked in on 6 sats. Outdoors 8 or 9 out of 11 in use but signal never gets above 38. No trees.

Do I need to change anything since I tried that GPS fix quite sometime ago?
[Vibrant General] tru_mastapiece:
Can I do the update even tho I'm rooted and have the lag fix? Pls help
[Vibrant General] shivian:
I can get to this point... but I need to know what files to install with Odin. Is there a tutorial or something somewhere that has the stock vibrant I can install?
[Vibrant General] ninor:
Thanks! Let me try it out.
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Get the update from /cache before applying so we can check it out.
[Vibrant General] wildcard0:
Rooted update went without a hitch

Mine is rooted and the assisted GPS server was changed, but other than that there were no custom mods. The user-accessible sd card was swapped out for a 16g one and there is some media on it.

I'm in the SF bay area and I woke up to the update this morning. The update went without a problem. I took between 5 and 10 mins. There was a download screen first. It went smoothly to about 85% and then stopped for a bit. It sat for about 2 mins and when I came back from getting a drink, it was on the Samsung logo boot screen.

Also, my phone is not hardware locked.
[Vibrant General] gancho:
I was able to get my phone working again with the Odin fix referenced in post #253.

Happy to have a working phone again :)
[Vibrant General] rshemeld:
people who's phone got stuck at vibrant screen, did you guys remove media hub?
[Vibrant General] rhcp011235:
Can someone post thev update from cache dir before applying it.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] ninor:
Ok, now I'm back to stock. How do I get the update now? lol
[Vibrant General] ninor:
I did remove MediaHub
[Vibrant General] g1g:
I would like to know its any differnt then the leaked one viral cracked ... im on that now so dont think i will get the update and would hate to go back to the original and wait to get the update....
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Well this doesn't seem to work anymore

Go to the phone’s dialer and enter the number *#*#1472365#*#* then press send to access the phones LBSTestMode menu.

That's how I tried the GPS fix back in late July. I wanted to see if they changed the settings back.

Anybody know the way into that menu now?

UPDATE: Found it, thanks Google, in Captivate forum. *#3214789650#
[Vibrant General] wildcard0:
I'd also like to get into this. When I try the dialer, any number I put between *#*#XXXX#*#* disappears out of the dialer as soon as I hit the final *. Anyone know a workaround?
[Vibrant General] Dammit2Hell:
I left my phone on last night. I usually turn it off to charge but I figured I'd try. Woke up this morning with a notification that the update was ready for me. (Spartanburg, SC) Took all of 8 minutes to load and is working phenomenally. Yay.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
Which settings?

Hi,

Can someone that didn't try the original GPS fix tell me what their settings are after a successful update? I'm not sure if you need to add LbsTestMode or it's on the phone already.

1) Not sure you need to do this step or not. Open menu > settings > Location & Security. Uncheck the box next to "Use Wireless Networks". Recheck it after trying this.

2) Go to dialer and enter *#3214789650#

3) In the LBSTestMode menu, press “Application Settings” and let me know the value of “Operation Mode”

4) In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and let me know the values of SERVER & PORT

5) Recheck that box in step 1 if it was

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant General] :
here it is

edit: realized you were asking for settings after update. posted what it was before (as shipped).
[Vibrant General] wildcard0:
So I DID change these a while back and they did NOT change during the update.

Thanks for the proper dialer number. I think that was the problem I was having.
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
Well, I applied the update and now sitting at a Vibrant screen

hope this goes ok we're at 4 minutes now
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
still no update..... still waiting.....
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I changed them back to the original settings. I think the newer ones are better. It seemed to take longer to get a good lock. I'll wait until someone lists the after this update settings are. Out for a short drive to see how this looks.
[Vibrant General] tru_mastapiece:
I have the one click lag fix, gps fix & rooted thats all ive done Can i do the update? What are roms? o_O
[Vibrant General] daropedia:
well after 30 minutes I pulled the battery **** ****

It'll boot into recovery and I did a nandroid, heard that won't work though... please help
[Vibrant General] bahwi:
@daropedia

Read post #253, real easy to do, quick. I had the same problem as you.

Others, my partner did it after we undid the lagfix for him an unrooted, and his worked. Mine didn't, only difference is I had MobileAP and deleted some of the bloatware.
[Vibrant General] ecardwell1:
My wife's phone got the OTA this morning. The phone was stuck on the new install. After 8 hours and a few battery pulls, I contacted TMO. They are sending out a replacement phone. Her's was rooted and the only modification was replacing the calendar app with the N1 calendar app.

TMO tech support said this is the first they are hearing about any issues. Deny! Deny! Deny!
[Vibrant General] mmalott:
Yea like they told me that they never had a call about the hardware keys being locked. Whatever floats their boat but they sent me a new one, no questions asked.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
there are vibrant user (all stock) in t-mobile forums who are having problem, now i'm afraid that mine won't be able to update to.

if the phone got bricked by the update process will t-mobile replace the phone even if the 30 trial is finished?
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I can only tell you I was successful with mine with these fixes. HOWEVER, I am not endorsing this either way. I did not use an app to root my phone. I did use One Click Lag Fix for the lag fix. I also removed the startup/shutdown sounds and the startup animation. Left the shutdown. It got to 50% and stalled but then after maybe 10 seconds it continued. Then it shutdown and took a couple of minutes to turn back on. Do not touch it after starting the update. Let it come back on by itself. Total time, less than 10 minutes. I also happen to have a 16GB card in mine, not the 2GB it came with. Not too much stuff on there.
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I believe you have a one year warranty regardless of your service status.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
Can't you at least just use ODIN or something?
[Vibrant General] Trebor86:
Just got my update, 7-8 minutes all done no problems, Houston, Tx.
[Vibrant General] moyofalaye:
Where is mine. Im in Houston too, and nothing, i got an a dm error yesterday. i restarted the phone, and still nothing.
[Vibrant General] ecardwell1:
Yes I would if it were my phone. My wife wants it to just work. I will not do the OTA with my Vibrant. I am just going to do the Odin but she wanted to replace the phone.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Hello fellow Spartanburg person! LOL
[Vibrant General] markinct:
I had installed the Media Hub for Epic.... showed in Titanium as Media Hub 102. This sounds as good a reason as any for my upgrade to hange.
[Vibrant General] tenbeau:
Still waiting in Leesbug, Fl. I have odined back to stock rom and recovery and am not rooted and have removed the update.zip from internal card. Did not remove any bloatware after flashing back to stock. I should be completely stock at this moment If and when I get the OTA I sure hope it goes through. I will post the circumstances.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
See now this worries me because I am too rooted on Ryans lagfix....
[Vibrant General] rshemeld:
dont worry i did the upgrade with root and lag fix from ryans OCLF ..and did not hang..i still think its bc ppl removed media hub..
[Vibrant General] malaise:
so i just got back from the mall, and decided to walk in the tmobile store and ask about the update. the manager said that its only going out to about 10k people per day ota. then he threw in a line that went something like "but if you want it sooner, you can go to samsung's kies website and download the kies program, and samsung already has the update up there. you could have it like today if you want to do it that way." has anyone tried this, and is there any truth to this? the guy also said he hadn't done it that way because he wanted to see how the ota was rolling out, and that he hadn't received his notification yet.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
BUMP! I'm on the same set up....amazing how there's a million posts about this and no one can answer yay or nay....

I'm holding off...too much craziness all over the forums...
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
We need more people to post like this....detailed....

I am too rooted via RyanzLagFix....haven't updated yet....
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
Kies message
[Vibrant General] Leoslick:
I have the segmented green battery mod and was wondering If that that's is going to interfere with the update. Apparently oclf from the market won't. But I did do the gps zip and installed the hq youtube app too. So what to do, what to do?

Sent from beyond galaxy s
[Vibrant General] J3ST3RM4A3:
I have a new Vibrant on the way, should be here tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Figured eh, might as well get a replacement and have it on record that this OTA is known to cause bricking.

All I did was root, and remove the bloatware apps, that's it...got the update this morning and Vibrant won't go past the Samsung Vibrant screen.

In the meantime, I'm back on my G1 and Cyanogenmod 6.0 RC3.
[Vibrant General] swehes:

[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
So far, NOT so good with the OTA Vibrant update for me.

- I am rooted

- I have removed some bloatware (not sure about MediaHub)

- I'm using this Method#1 lag fix (not OCLF)

- I did not undo the lag fix prior to updating

- I do have a battery icon fix installed

- I have done some GPS "fixes" prior to this

- I am otherwise on the stock ROM

I chose to "Update", it downloaded, rebooted, went thru to 100%, rebooted again, and then hung on the Vibrant screen for about 20 minutes. Pulled the battery, still hangs.

Here's the scary part: I was able to get into recovery, attempt to restore a backup (from about a month ago), but no love -- it still hangs on the Vibrant screen. Tried twice.

Wow. Kinda hosed. Advice?
[Vibrant General] bcmatteagles:
Yikes so scared about this update lol - I just got the message but I'm too low on battery to do it. I've installed OCLF via the market (rooted via OCLF too) I installed android-wifi-tether which I'm not sure will have any effect. I uninstalled the lag fix yesterday but left on root so hopefully that should make things ok.

I did a titanium backup of everything and am currently doing a nandroid backup - Will I be able to restore from one of these if things go hairy?

Thx
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
I haven't been able to so far.... :(
[Vibrant General] vazagothic:
Did you try doing full system restore or just data/system files?

When I accidentally removed settings.apk (and my phone kept freezing) - I had to do a full system restore (both data and system files for it to work). It didn't work when I did just the system files.
[Vibrant General] ElvinWasHere:
I wanna know too, cuz I've been waiting like a madman.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
What's the use of removing the media hub?
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
Just got the update a little bit ago. About to test it out now.
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
The update has been posted in General section under title "Official JI6 update Info thread" . It s a tar file from samsungfirmwares.com . Build dates match .
[Vibrant General] kboater:
anyone know how to remove mobile AP once installed? (without wiping phone for flashing stock rom)

i want to remove that, then unroot and wait for update.
[Vibrant General] yipcanjo:
I've tried it all at this point. No luck :(

Got a chat session going with T-Mobile support. Replacement phone is one its way...

Lame.
[Vibrant General] ninor:
So I ODIN'ed back to stock after I was stuck at Vibrant screen. Now, I am not getting the update :(

I was previously rooted with stock firmware, removed bloatware, no lag fix and no any other hacks.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Had to Odin back to stock to fix the phone. If the OTA is still unavailable, I'll just Odin the JI6 file listed. Again this was a stock kernel with only root, no lag fix has been applied. The only thing I can do think of that might have changed the install is an already existing update.zip that the OTA wasn't able to properly overwrite.
[Vibrant General] sonofdays:
*sigh*

I knew I should've checked online before blinding accepting the update. My phone is now stuck on the Vibrant boot screen. I can still use adb shell to get into it but if I try to su it says [1] Segmentation fault su and I'm back at the $ prompt. I'm going to try to make things right with Odin and then start erasing things to hide what I've done to it before I call T-Mobile for a new phone, I suppose.

So far reflashing with Odin looks good... waiting for factoryfs.rfs to finish.. it reset.... looking good.. it's booting normally (with the annoying original bootscreen and sound). Looks like I have total recovery.

Why are all of you guys just sending in for a new phone? Hoping that it works with the OTA update?
[Vibrant General] m509272:
I had one sitting there. It overwrote it. My update was ok. Hmmm, maybe the permissioning on an existing update.zip and it couldn't delete it?
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
That might be the case. Was your update.zip created via drag and drop (i.e. the enable root update.zip) or did you have a ROM manager created update.zip? Mine was the latter, and I'm wondering if the permissions were set correctly.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
can you get the update if you upgraded the phone with a different number and put another sim card in the vibrant?
[Vibrant General] lucky 69:
the updates comes out in waves so not all will get it at once.:D
[Vibrant General] reaton33:
.

I got the update this morning. It needed more battery power to install so I recharged and kept getting the same message after using the postpone option 4 times. After that I just restarted and it installed in a little over 5 minutes.

Great improvements overall. It seems snappier to me, gps works flawlessly, the hd button in youtube makes it quicker to access HQ option, my signal strength has DEFINITELY improved. Very good update IMO. I'm surprised to see people shipping there phones back so quickly, calm down folks lol.

BTW, I'm rooted with RyanZA's one click lag fix and never removed any bloatware. I'm noticing people who removed bloatware are having issues with the update hanging. That's not a conclusion about there issues though, just an observation.

Loving the new update!
[Vibrant General] Kienz:
That's an excellent question, and I hadn't thought of that before. I, too, upgraded with a different line than the sim that is in my Vibrant. Would this prevent me from receiving the update? Or do we know?
[Vibrant General] bosox86:
Hi Everyone,

First post here. I have a rooted vibrant, completely stock except for the captivate camera software, rom manager, clockwork, Titanium backup. No lag fix, no gps fix, stock kernal. I blinded accepted the update on the way out the door to work this morning. 30 minutes late the phone is hung on the vibrant screen.

The nandroid backups didn't work. I read, read, read, used Odin. It took an hour and too many tried to get the phone into download mode. Once in DL mode, recovered to stock in 4 minutes.

Restored nandroid again, I'm back to were I was a month ago...all in all, not too bad; could have been worse. Lesson learned, never trust OTA updates from T-mo.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:
Okay how many people with failed OTA with stock kernel and NO lag fix using ROM Manager?

Oh when I used Odin to flash JI6 requires, I had to reroot my system. I was able to successfully use the same update.zip with the original stock kernel.
[Vibrant General] cgingermany:
According to a couple of other web pages, yes, even rooted Vibrants can get the OTA. I foun the info here:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Sams...JI6-Update-Officially-Pushed-OTA-159910.shtml

and its on samsungs twitter.

By the way, does rooting the Vibrant really make it better? On my G1's yes, there was improvement. But with the Vibrant, I haven't seen any ROM's that I find "attractive" lik the CM's on the G1. What to do?
