[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitality:
I have an unlocked vibrant. I have flashed many of eugene's roms and so far it remains unlocked. Since I see that the OTA update from TMobile can relock, the phone, what should I do to make sure I don't accidentally lock the phone in the future. I don't have the code used to unlock the phone originally and don't live in the U.S. which would make returning the phone to TMobile difficult.

So how can make sure it stays unlocked or backup the unlocked state in case I accidentally lock it in the future?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Unlock code was stored inside your phone. There's a way to get it,free of charge. You should read the bible for more information

Thread moved to Q&A...post in the right section!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0080:
First off I would root the phone and make a backup of the files in /efs which is where the nv_data.bin resides. I just used root explorer to zip up that entire directory in case I need those files in the future because nv_data.bin contains the unlock code.

Either download the app from the market that gives you the code or copy nv_data.bin to the sdcard so you can copy it to your pc. Once on your pc you can run the sgux.exe utility and get the unlock and unfreeze codes. Like others have said, do a search on this process. It's well documented on the forum.

I take no credit for this, all I did was build it from the BravoC build tree and add in the latest kernel that Kali posted in the blitzrom thread.

NEW BUILD UP!! flashable over previous release.

What works:

- wifi (and wifi hotspot)

- back-light turns off

- optical joystick

- video camera mode is selectable (but doesn't record)

- USAA (maybe all protected?) app is in market and usable for deposit.

- Voice input using the IME_Mod keyboard

what's broken:

- video camera does not record

- MMS sending (this has been true of every AOSP rom I have used on both Hero and Desire)

Download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/M6VjXyKg/update-cm-610-RC0-10082010-Des.html

Nice to see CM 6.1 finally surfacing, though my Desire is HSPA so I guess I'll wait (using nightly CM6 atm). Is this version using the HTC released kernel?
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
this WILL NOT WORK ON HSPA DESIRES! this is ONLY for CDMA desires. (we need a cdma forum!) the kernel I'm using is the cyanogen-mod kernel with some patches by Kali that he based off the HTC source code.

The nightlies you are using are probably further along than this anyway, this was a quick and dirty test build I whipped up because I could find nothing in the way of cyanogen-mod for the CDMA desire, closest was Blitzrom but that was just plain AOSP and lacked the cool cyanogen features.
[Desire Android Development] sookster54:
LOL that's why I said "I'll wait"
[Desire Android Development] dave0812:
I could not get this to load. Am I missing something
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
what did you do exactly? any errors?

standard rom loading procedure that works for me is:

1. nandroid backup

2. wipe data/cache/dalvik

3. install rom.zip

4. install google apps.zip

5. reboot
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
updated my first post with a patch for the roaming indicator. I put in my carrier ACS, if your on another carrier sorry but now you get to feel my pain as all the Hero roms I used said sprint :P

Hell ya its about time an aosp banner said ACS!!!!
[Desire Android Development] TWisTeD48:
I'm a little confused as to why the roaming fix didn't work for me. I flashed the "roaming-fixed.zip" archive, but I still see the roaming indicator. I'm on the same network, ACS, if that helps at all. I didn't get a boot loop, but my DesireC still thinks it's roaming. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
New build is up!

http://www.4shared.com/file/M6VjXyKg/update-cm-610-RC0-10082010-Des.html

integrates latest kernel from Kali and my roaming patch. WIFI WORKS!
[Desire Android Development] crackzattic:
thanks for the good work i will give this a shot maybe tomorrow. just curious what cdma network are you running on in AK? i am on cellular south in alabama and can't wait to try this out.
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
I'm with Alaska Communications http://alaskacommunications.com/

They are an ACG member just like cellular south. same version of the hardware and same radio. the build.prop is setup like USCC but that doesn't really matter much. I ran CM6 on my ACS hero with a sprint build.prop just fine.
[Desire Android Development] psychache:
Thanks for doing this. I've been wanting to test drive CM6 for a while now. Having some issues though. I'm still not getting wifi to work. So far the only thing that seems different from the first build is that the roaming indicator is off. When I tried to reboot using the reboot option from the power menu it got stuck in a boot loop. It started fine after I pulled the battery. After rebooting none of my widgets would load. I had to redo all of them. Also, when I was talking on the phone yesterday it got really hot. This doesn't make sense to me since I have it set to clock at 245 with the screen off. And is portable hotspot supposed to be working? It seems to react the same way as it does with wifi.
[Desire Android Development] Grumpy Bastid:
Gave this a whirl, and I am encountering a problem with my wifi not working, it's giving me an error. Everything else seems good though.
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
not sure what happened with the wifi, but if you flash this kernel it works (hotspot too) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1694782/kern35-cdma-final.zip

i remember inserting that kernel into the build, but sure enough, didn't work until i flashed it separately.

i've noticed that my widgets seem to stretch oddly. anyone else having that issue?

psychache that's odd about the reboot boot loop. mine has rebooted fine both normally and recovery over a dozen times. I tried on a second desire i have access too and it worked fine as well.
[Desire Android Development] blkqi:
Just so you guys know.. Kali- has built a fully working CM 6.1 for the CDMA Desire.

Get in #teamdesire
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
fully working as in video camera too?

i just popped into the channel and all i see are nightlies for the gsm desire. only cdma link is to unrevoked forever.
[Desire Android Development] psychache:
Did you have any issues after rebooting? I lost all my widgets when I did, meaning I can't use any of widgets other than the preinstalled stuff.
[Desire Android Development] ipfreelytech:
did you move any of the apps associated with those widgets to sd card? or perhaps set install location to sd card? you cannot store widgets on sd.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Biffy:
On Windows Mobile I had some software called Null keyboard that would disable the software keyboard for when I wanted to use a bluetooth keyboard.

Does anything like this exist for Android? I'd happily pay for it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] OzJD:
What version of Android are you using?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Biffy:
2.2. As a workaround I've installed wifi keyboard and if I select that as the input method it stops any software keyboard popping up, whilst still letting the bluetooth keyboard be used.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jazzmanmonty:
ok so coming from the G1 with apps2SD and moving apps from memory to SD was easy. Well i just went and installed a bunch of apps on my HD2 and suddenly got the "low on system storage" memory. i went into settings and tried to move apps to SD but wouldn't let me. Searched forums, and cant find an answer. How can i install android apps to the SD? it seems that if the android OS is on the SD card, wouldn't the apps naturally install there?! thanks for any help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Yes, your android runs from the SD card. But your android does recognize the data.img in your folder as the system storage. That means if you have a build that creates a 1GB data.img, your storage is limited to 1GB.

How big is you data.img?

The option to install something on the SD isn't possible.

Cheers

- J
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgallen:
Same situation

I'm also coming from a G1 with cyanogenmod using Apps2sd...

...is there any way that i can run my current apps from my sd card on the HD2?

or atleast copy them to the device?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ultramag69:
Yes, if you have them in *.apk form.

You can create a folder on the SD card, I call it apps, and copy them there. Then use a file manager, I use Astro, to navigate the sd card and install them into Android. This way you don't have to keep reloading them from Market.

You can also put them into the Android Apps folder inside the Android folder and they will be installed on boot.

Cheers...:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingnutta:
Ok, my phone finally decided it didnt like being rooted etc..

It wasnt bricked but the amount of random reboots was becoming a joke! After reinstalling the RUU for about the 7th time - it got to the stage it would always reboot at some point on the setup screens of the stock ROM. I could not get to the homescreen without it rebooting :(

I have no idea why - formatted sd card/booted without sd card in it/flashed stock ROM! - all still the same. The phone was totally unstable and unuseable..

I got so annoyed i walked straight into my local o2 shop and got it sent away for repair. Its running stock ROM and i couldnt get anywhere near to re-rooting so i am happy on that part that they will be happy warranty wise(never did s-off either)..

Question is - what firmware am i likely to get back??.. Anything remotely rootable or not?? :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Was it branded from o2 when you got it? Chances are it'll come back with their FroYo ROM on it...and ALL ROMs are rootable
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingnutta:
Yes it was branded - Cheers. You helped me the first time mate to get the phone working after it hung at the splash screen... Well this was the end result!

Phone was hanging where i would have to reflash the RUU when using 3g network. Then the reboots...

I am still clinging to some hope that it was the phone and not me!!!! :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tengis:
Phone is rooted and I believe Ive got a lag fix installed.

No idea what I need to do - did a quick looksie through the JI6 thread and I didnt see anything in particular about the update ****ign up anyones phone.

EDIT: The update is called JI6 right? Whatever I got automatically from tmobile is what messed it up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxZach:
I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking its because I had the lag fix before this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
If you have the voodoo lagfix then you may have to use odin to fix things. See the instructions on the first post of the thread for Simbionix for that.

With other lagfixes you may just be able to wipe the phone. Can you still access recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tengis:
I can access recovery. I really didnt want to lose things like contacts saved on my phone even though I dont give a piss about anything else. I dont think the contacts copied into SIM so I may be screwed on that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briankao1992:
If you had your Gmail synced, all the contacts should be on your gmail account, and it will not be wiped
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lotherius:
Your contacts should be saved on your google account unless you disabled that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tengis:
Sweet. I dont use Google regularly so I didnt even think about the contacts syncing to it.

What is my next step? What should I do? The ODIN thing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bl4ckdr4g00n:
It's a google phone, but u denied to use google service frequently, then you deserve the punishment

Just kidding. I think Odin is the only solution here. And don't forget to use google service after getting your phone back from death =D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ssgvendetta:
to disable vodoo lagfix

A quick and easy way to disable voodoo lagfix, is to just create a file or a folder inside of the voodoo folder called "disable lagfix". Worked for me, hopefully this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remixfa:
same thing happened to me. The update was waiting for me when i woke up, so i hit the damn button without thinking about it (i had one eye open!!).. now i have a nice "vibrant" screen.. oi. Simply wiping the phone does nothing, so Im going to try the 2.2 to 2.1 fix.. here goes nuthin..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgiusto:
Same thing here. I had a lag fix (not the voodoo one) and a GPS fix. Not sure which solution to go with. I'll wait for some more replies with simple and easy fixes to appear.

EDIT: I was able to reboot holding power and volume buttons and got it to ClockWork recovery. I guess my next step at this menu would be to "install zip from sdcard" but how would I go about getting the Bionix_6_stock.zip file onto my SD card?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimliza:
you'll be fine

take out battery and hold power up/down buttonswithe buttons pressed insert battery. you should see Vibrant logo once continue to hold once it goes blank then let go of all exept down button you should be in stock recovery now if you had clockwork recovery press reinstall packages you should now by in clockwork recovery if so flash again or flash some thing else hopefully a nandroid back up... good luck but you problem does not seem that serious keep at you'll be fine
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Do you have adb setup? If so, put the bionix ROM in the tools folder of your SDK & type:

adb push *file directory/file name* /sdcard

GL, please update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgiusto:
Hmmm I think I remember about this other way to boot up where you can push stuff to the phone. How do I do that again? I have only been able to get to the Clockwork Recovery screen and need to get the Bionix zip file from my PC to the Vibrant using ADB which yes I have and it did work a while ago. I just forgot how to boot in that mode. Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Mufakka:
I'm stuck as well. One small difference. I DO NOT have a lag fix installed. I uninstalled the One Click Lag Fix yesterday in preparation for the update.

Well, let me rephrase. The App is installed on the phone but the fix is not applied.

Any thoughts?

Side note. My screen has some how gotten scratched recently and I'm curious if this is a possible way to get a new screen (and phone) from Tmobile. The phone is rooted and I have a GPS fix applied but that's it.

EDIT: I wanted to add, while booting, the Vibrant screen obviously comes up but after a few seconds, the TMobile jingle STARTS to play. It quickly goes quiet and then continues to sit at the Vibrant screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdobles:
Long time lurker, first time posting.

Stuck as well, I am rooted but stock otherwise. Only items installed are:

Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip

signed-mobileap.vibrant.zip

Any help is appreciated

EDIT:Was able to push Bionix 1.6 through ADB and Flash with Clockwork Recovery. Back Up and Going!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradBot:
I'm sort of in the same boat. Rooted, but haven't installed any of the lag fixes or gps fixes. I don't have clockwork installed. Is there any way for me to download the OTA to my SD card and try flashing it that way?

This sucks :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxZach:
FYI. I had the same problems as the original OP, getting stuck at the boot screen after the update, due to having lag fix enabled. I finally got the true stock 2.1 firmware installed via ODIN. I've called T-Mobile requesting they push the update again and was told to do the following to send a message to google to have them push the update to my phone. It's been 30 minutes and nothing yet but I'm crossing my fingers. For the guys who haven't received the OTA update yet give this a shot.

Dial *#*#2432546#*#*6

One you complete the sequence all the numbers and characters should disappear leaving your dialer blank. Then you just sit and wait for the message to update your firmware. Hope this works!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Relikk356:
How can people blame T-Mobile when they put an after-market lag fix on it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarDestructo:
Stock Vibrant ROM, had the one click lag fix installed awhile ago but since removed it. I do however have the GPS fix installed. Did the OTA update this morning now the phone stays on the Vibrant screen but it still plays the startup chime, then just sit there. I can access recovery mode without a problem thankfully.

Kind of annoying...

edit: And the nandroid restore doesn't work. Fantastic. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Mufakka:
I tried this. Got to the recovery screen. I could only choose to reinstall packages and I couldn't choose any backups. I tried reinstalling packages. I'm getting the same result. Stuck at the Vibrant screen with about 1/2 second of the TMobile jingle playing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Relikk356:
That's because your Clockwork Update.zip file has been deleted or corrupted. You're going to have to use Odin. It's really easy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradBot:
Same :mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimliza:
try using another device or mmc/ adapter to transfer the zip file then put it back into your phone or like he said odin is the way question is do you have it installed drivers and all and are you comfortable using it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flexnix:
My update was stuck on the "S" logo boot up screen for about 5-10 mins. Have patience? Or is still there? I was gonna pop the battery out but I noticed the "S" was changing colors around the sides so I left it alone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalot:
I had the same problem:

You can not just do a nandroid restore. The issue, from what everyone else that is obviously smarter then me, is that something is wrong with the kernel. nandroid does not backup/restore the kernel, so you have to use ODIN.

Here are the steps I took to fix the phone:

Download ODIN3 1.0

Download 512 PIT

Download JFD tar

Note that all 3 of those are from the same thread. It also wouldn't hurt for your to read that post too.

Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

To expand on this because a lot of people were asking "how to put in download mode". The easiest way I found to actually do it, if you can can connect via ADB is to do the following:

# reboot download

If you can't get that to work, try how i mention below (phone off, battery out, hold vol+ & vol-), or try searching these forums for "vibrant download mode" you will find other things that "work" for people

load the PIT file in appropriate area.

load the .tar file in the PDA area.

DO NOT check 're-partition'.

Click start, let it finish.

At this point ODIN failed on me. and I got the "mobile-!-pc" image.

Now, pull your battery and unplug USB

I also took out the SIM and sdcard at this point.

bring the phone to download mode again

plug the USB back in (the phone should be off)

Hold down vol+ & vol-

Put battery back in

press power

re-run ODIN as mentioned above

Once ODIN completed successfully, it rebooted in to the Stock build. i let it do all that. then I shut it off, put the sdcard and SIM back in and booted in to recovery and restored from my Nandroid and I was back to the way it was right before I applied the update.

standard disclaimer

I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone or data
from you performing the steps above. They worked for me, and hopefully they
work for you too, but use at your own risk. but seeing as your phone is in a
bad state at this point anyhow...

I did not have a lag fix installed at all, ever. I did have GPS fix from JI2 installed, MobalAP and the 3 Galaxy S + Stock Lock Screens.

I spent the better part of the morning yesterday, researching and asking others about this very issue. thanks to eugene373 and smashpunks i was able to get the phone back up and running. If you are patient and read all of the steps on how to fix it first, you should not have any problems.

update: see the post from mapinkerton. He flashed JI6 leak via ODIN and no PIT file successfully. Not having to use the PIT file means you don't lose your data, if you don't have a nandroid to resort to
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradBot:
I don't have Odin installed on my phone and it's stuck at the Vibrant screen. Is there some way I can still use Odin, or did it have to be installed on my phone before all this happened?

Edit:

Just saw the post above this. Will give that a try! Thanks so much!

Edit 2:

I really don't want to put my phone back to factory unless it's absolutely necessary. Guess that's what I get for not doing a back up before trying to apply this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Relikk356:
Make sure to get the correct drivers to. I'll look for the link and post it.
