[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTQ:
Laidies and gentlemen,

Here is a problem.

I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 from T-Mobile USA to Android 2.2 and now I can't pick up gsm network at all.

I tried roms JP3, JP3 and JPK. On first two I simply get a crossed circle in status bar. If I pull out sim the phone will not request it at all. If I put sim in and try to search for mobile network, it will not find any.

On JPK I get black screen after S logo and random vibrations.

I even tried JP3 rom with JPK modem and still no gsm/wcdma.

I also tried both PIT 512 for JP2 and JP3 and PIT 803 for JPK.

Also to ensure Odin3 is ok I tried both v1.00 and v1.30.

I am completly pizzled here.

Just to make sure, I am not referring to WIFI or 3G/Edge. I do not have the basic gsm network to make calls.

Any suggestions??

TIA

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OccamsToothbrush:
So, um, which froyo "upgrade" did you use? You know there's not an official one yet, right?

It would have to have been eugene or master's... Or you used one meant for another galaxy s device, which would totally explain your problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aczarney:
I could totally be wrong here as it is 5 am here, but are any of the current froyo roms based off of JP3 or JPK? If I recall correctly they are all JPM or JPO based. It definitely sounds like you flashed something that wasn't for your phone, or flashed something incorrectly (seeing as I haven't read anything about JP3 or JPK).

If you can still get into download mode, here's stock JFD for the Vibrant.

And here's the stock kernel, since you probably need that too.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Did you flash the original Galaxy S ROM?

The radios are different in the original GT-i9000 and SGH-T959.

Did you try following Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and flash back to JFD route?

There is also a new ODIN in the wild 1.7 I believe, check the bible in the dev secion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTQ:
More details

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.

Here are more details and answers fot you:

1. I am currently running JP3 with modem from JPK - that I tried out of desperation, installed via Odin3 1.30. Previously I used JP2 and JP3 on PIT 512.

2. JPK blacks the screen out after S logo and gives random vibrations until I pull the battery out. So you might be right about JPK's incompatibility.

3. I already downloaded JPD but it contains no modem or CSC.

4. Would it make a difference if I rold you that on either JP2 and JP3

- my Vol+ and Vol - keys are reversed

- home button does not work

- in recovery mode OK button does not work

- Vol -/Home/Power combo never worked even on original 2.1 rom

- to get to Donload mode I had to have USB cable attached (but not connected to the PC) press Vol +/- and Power

- the only way I get to Download mode now is by adb

Seriously we doesnt know what u talking about froyo. Vibrant doesnt have any froyo yet, unless u using eugene and other rom. My suggestion is revert it back to stock and wait for update. If u have aGALAXYS INTERNATIONAL phone then u in the wrong place
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangxi:
This guy is all kinds of confused. Shouldn't give these people phones.

Listen: You do NOT install something on your phone that is NOT made for your phone. First problem right there. If you want Froyo on your phone, look in the DEVELOPMENT section under the VIBRANT category. VIBRANT, the phone that you have.

What you need to do is ODIN back to JFD and never touch your phone again.

Go into download mode and open up ODIN 1.7 and use the CORRECT PIT FILE for your phone and the JFD firmware. All of this can be found in the development section.

Actually, I'll be nice and show you exactly where.

You didn't answer the earlier questions--where did you get these ROMs? Are you flashing ROMs from the i9000 dev board?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
There is no SGH-T959 Froyo update which is why you're having these problems.

Odin back to stock JDF then flash Eugene's Froyo if you're looking to run it. Or wait a few weeks and we'll have the update...maybe.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THESephiENIGMA:
I had the same thing happen to me last night with my phone not detecting the gsm.

This is what I did, I not tech savvy, but I did I did not like the 2.1 OTA update for the sgh-t959, my phone was laggy everywhere. So I researched and researched about froyo for the Vibrant, and you guys are right there is no OTA update, but it was made possible through the mini kies, first in the UK, then finally the U.S. after I updated everything was great. This is after the fact that a friend of mine said I should root my phone and flash the (cynogen???) custom rom. I have rooted my phone through the super on click method, but I decided I didn't need to go beyond that and I haven't, it's still rooted. SO, I was trying to use an app while at the grocery store, and my phone froze, hasn't happened since I had 2.1. I turn it off and when I turn I off, the home screen never loads, it's completely black except for the status bar at the top. The media scanner keeps on scanning and there is the universal no symbol there. scared the **** out of me.

So I pulled the battery, took it home and plugged it in to charge, let it charge turned it on and left it alone all night without looking at the screen to see if it booted up. I woke up this morning and I was lucky it loaded fine. Can someone please advise me as to what I did?or why this might have happened?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikime:
LOL can someone please translate this because I have the same problem - the phone is unable to detect any GSM network. I flashed the deodexed KB5 stock 2.2 ROM, but had no luck with 2.1 either.

[Captivate General] bparkerson04:
I've finally built up the courage to root and flash my first rom tonight when I get off of work. I am so excited. One question I have though is, what do I do when a new update for my rom comes out? Can anyone explain this to me?

I am going to be flashing using clockworkmod rom manager, and I am going to do my nandroid backup through that as well. I am just wondering what do I do if a new update for my rom comes out. If I flash it, will I lose everything? Any insight would be great.

Also

, how do I make a backup of my stock phone before rooting? If I do the Voodoo lagfix, and I decide to flash back to stock, will I need to change kernels or anything, or will Odin3 One Click take care of all of that for me? I am so excited! Thank you devs for everything you do! Thank you XDA community! You guys rock!
[Captivate General] di11igaf:
when u update to a new version of a rom, sometimes you week lose data sometimes not. That sapiens on the dev and what he puts into his update script. Some roms will also format your sd card when you flash and then you will lose EVERYTHING that you had stored. Most roms do not

do this but its still a good idea to read the thread first, and if you know how read the update script in the package to see if it says anything about formatting the sd card or something.(99% of roms dont do this though. So backup contacts up with google, apps with titanium backup and you can back up you full current rom from within clockwork. If anthing goes wrong, you can always flash stock with odin and thats it. With odin one click you just put phone into download and hit start and your done . No kernel flashing or anything. It will do that for you

I would believe all the upcoming Android offerings from TMO that utilize HSPA+ will come as closed as possible to prevent people free riding on WiFi tethering, there is a reason they want to charge you $15/mo for tether plan with 5GB cap, isn't?

Thanks for the info. I did like the idea of having froyo, but since its root protected, I would miss the customization options and of course the forum. I'm gonna stick with the vibrant for now:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
There is a post in the MT4G forum in the Development section saying that the temp root using Visionary works and if you enable fastboot( the setting which allows the phone to awaken or power up in 5 seconds) the root remains after powering on and off. If you pull the battery the fastboot is disabled and the root is gone. So as long as you dont pull the battery the root remains. Just read the thread a few moments ago.

dual-use for the kickstand case

For the clear case with the kickstand (linked above)--the way the kickstand pulls out (to form a triangle with the back of the phone as one of the sides) lets you slip one finger through it to help with one-handed operation of the phone. Also makes it easier to hold for ebooks and long-session reading/viewing. It was kind of pricey at $30 but for that added convenience I consider it worth it.

It's also worth noting that this case was super-tight on day 1, to the point I was afraid I would break it getting it on and off the phone--or, worse, scratch the phone--but neither of those things happened and now it comes on/off fine while still holding the phone securely.

Hi XDA Developers.

I really appreciate all the hard work and effort you have put into helping tweak smartphones to what they should be. I'm not sure where to post this so if this is the wrong area, moderator, please move it to the right section.

Is there anyone working on porting Symbian^3/Maemo or Meego over to some of the Smartphones out now such as the HD2, Desire HD, Evo, G2, Mytouch 4G etc? I really like the look of Symbian^3 and would really like to try it out but there are no roms to flash or dual boot (or SD card boot) from.

Symbian 3 will be amazing due to the fact that it already has loads of apps from the Ovi store as well as the internet. I also love how the user can customize up to I think around 7 backgrounds which all switch when you swipe from one to another. Symbian 3 is looking very promising already.

Maemo is great too as it is lik 65% Linux and Linux is known as a Developer's OS so there are obviously tons of programs/apps available for it.

Meego will probably be the best out of them all due to it being the Full Linux OS AND All the Apps from Symbian^3 can be transferred back and forth between the two so it's basically a Full Linux with Symbian apps.

There is a Nokia Device already released that is running Symbian^3. It is the Nokia N8. If someone can get that rom to work on the HD2 or any new Smartphone, I'd love to test it. Also Nokia has released the official Meego beta (I think) for people with N900's to test it out. That may be a good place to start if you're interested.

Here's the Link to the Nokia Meego Beta for N900:

http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/handset/images/meego-handset-armv7l-n900/

All I can say as far as where to start with Symbian 3 is that the Nokia N8 has it. If anyone is interested in this project, I'd love to test it from a SD card boot preferably. I along with a countless amount of others would be greatly appreciative. Thanks. :)
