How to install Froyo 2.2 that works with out a computer & w/ out bricking your phone

I took the time to write this up because i know how frustrating it can be to brick your phone it has happened to me before trying to update it but I've learned how to flash my phone & done it successfully more then 5 times so far so read this careful before trying it out.

you can install this update with Rom Manager worked perfect for me I've installed 3 of Eugene's Froyo updates with this method just make sure you are rooted first & running kernel 2.6.32.9

or use this kernel here below

Vibrant Kernel Back Support for new Builds

Download Eugene's Froyo 2.2 Macnut update from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=820414

here's a step by step on how i did it

1. make sure to back up all your applications first! I used App Saver FREE application from the market. Open App Saver run it & save your applications this app will save them to the internal SD card so look for the folder called app saver copy & paste it to your External SD card using Astro File Manager FREE application on the market.

2. download macnutR5 update to your phone

3. remove external sd card once you back up your applications

4. install paid version of rom manager

5. open rom manager click on the first option flash clockworkMod Recovery choose Galaxy S Vibrant hit allow on super permissions then click ok.

6. click on install ROM from SD card

7. go to your download folder & point it to the MacnutR4 zip folder hit install

8. optional choose back up current Rom & clear date & cache but no necessary

then let it do its thing it might take 3-5 minutes to finish the update i noticed the update went faster when i plugged the phone to a power outlet.

note 1: this update will delete your apps and you will have to start from scratch but if you back up your apps with App Saver you will be fine read step 1.

note 2: once your done make sure to go into settings mobile networks then network mode and choose WCDMA ONLY! if not you will have 3G problems.

enjoy FROYO!

I'm loving froyo running flash 10.1 watching my NFL games from my phone!
[Vibrant General] gonintendo:
is jit working on the newer froyo roms?
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
If you click on the link to the ROM you would have read:

~ Working jit ( 14 MFLOPS is about all we get.. 16 ish if overclocked to 1.2Ghz)
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
GPS still not working in Froyo ROMs for vibrant.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I've NEVER removed a memory card to flash, any real reason for adding that step in your guide?

GPS issues should be stated, agreed ^
[Vibrant General] MrDragomir:
You should remove your SD card because some ROMs have bugs and have the tendency of wiping it clean. :P
[Vibrant General] Chamgea:
So what's the purpose of the Kernal? You didn't mention what to do with it.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
In near 3 years I have never heard a developer say to take out your sd card, and I've never heard anyone lose the data on their sd card....
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
I've had my SD card wiped before. But it wipes the internal card, not the external so removing that wouldn't do much good.
[Vibrant General] jdbtxyz:
I'm more intrigued at how you are watching NFL games on your phone!? Link?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ froyo = flash - sites like atdhe.net work... the nfl app is pretty sweet too.

^^ right, that was my whole point... removing the external sd card seems pointless, hence why I spoke up.

EDIT:

Huge thanks to solidmac for contributing his/her test result:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub...NHdWxMbWc&hl=en&single=true&gid=0&output=html

-------------

Hi everyone.

There are currently three different versions of radios available for Nexus One Froyo roms.

I conducted a test on all these 3 versions: 4.06, 5.08 and 5.12, and I would like to share my test result.

Link to test result:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ah8PsMa_NqfedERnUmtBWWdJc19OR3lGcmhvR2psMHc&hl=en

(All using unit kBps, kilo-byte-per-second)

My test strategy:

Test both 2G and H data speed.

Phone is put very close to window, no finger is touching on it during each test.

Results provided by SpeedTest.net application.

Default DNS server is used.

Tests were conducted consecutively.

Very poor results (2 occurrences,once with 508 H, once with 512 2G) are dropped.

About Phone:

Nexus One, purchased on 2nd March

CM6 110022010-nightly

Kernel: 2.6.35-7 925mV CFS AVS AIX 720p-Monks-103010

Environmental information:

Cheltenham, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia,

Cloudy, light wind, no rain,

Full bars signal during testing,

Yes Optus mobile company, APN selected to Yes Internet.
[Nexus One General] eminem5055:
Thank you. I was surprised by these results, but its good to finally se some sort of comparison between the radios...
[Nexus One General] simms22:
great data! :D
[Nexus One General] kuntau:
thx for the data and now i'm kinda regret flashing 5.12 lol
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Interesting....nice to see the comparison stats! thanks
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
Flashing 512 isn't all that bad it has much better ping results meaning it reaches the website first than all the other ones now the only down side is the marginal dl speed
[Nexus One General] Karolis:
That seems to confirm the results I got from switching the radios around.

I'm sticking with the latest though as it's not clear what other changes have been made, but I ten to believe that newer should be better :)
[Nexus One General] kuntau:
Base on the test i wonder if the newer radio only mean for the korean network.

Anyway any data for wifi connection?
[Nexus One General] houzuoguo:
I actually thought about testing wifi performance :D

but that probably won't reflex real radio performance since wifi performance is very constant for me no matter which version of radio i use.

also although 4.06 radio gives sometimes better performance, but I feel 5.12 has significant lower power consumption compare to 4.06
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
these radios show a difference under bad conditions.. OP if you could run an other test in a bad area or create a bad area ( putting the phone in a weak signal area 2-3 bars ) should show clearer results
[Nexus One General] richardpap:
Great Works, and now I know how to select radio.
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
In terms of the ping results you HAVE to omit those 999s, thats not an actual reading of 999, thats saying the reading was 999+ which is not a finite number, so you cant take an average of it.

You've also got such wild spikes of 80% on the H download speeds that, not to put a downer on things, but the results are statistically worthless. You'd have to do a way bigger sample than that.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Since flashing 5.12, I've hardly ever dropped below 3G. I don't really care if it's faster/slower than the others, what matters to me is consistency...

I guess the point I'm making is that you may also wish to look at large packets of data (say 100mb) over a longer duration, and see those kind of results, also?

Of course, network, network loading, location, weather, etc all throw in variables that you can't account for. Only many statistical samples over time can help smooth out the anomolies.

Perhaps my nuclear engineering side is showing?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Haha, well you ARE correct though, network is inconsistent, especially when there are lots of people using data on the same antenna as you...causes a saturation in the spectrum and slows down speeds...

But I second that...do another test with bigger files (if you ever do another test :D)
[Nexus One General] houzuoguo:
thanks everyone :D

next time when I get large amount of mobile data I'll test again.
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
I went ahead and did one today hope it provides enough information if you guys have any questions please ask i will try to provide an answer.

Nexus one 5.08 vs 5.12
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Nice chart, decided to stick with 4.06_07

Very brave of you to try all the radios :)
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
4xx.x version have bad ping scores compared to the newer versions. So pages queue up faster and search and voice to text are analyzed faster. Also the newer radios are more stable with their speeds especially in the wifi and 3g.
[Nexus One General] houzuoguo:
Hey mate

thanks for your test result :D

but i was wondering, why do you have test result on 5.09 radio.. did it work on Nexus One? I thought 509 radio was for Desire
[Nexus One General] dbeat:
I think that was just a typo. Should be 5.08
[Nexus One General] alex_herrero:
Using it here, in South America, turns out that 5.12 is way faster than 5.08, at least using H:

Down-Up tests using SpeedTest, same day, same conditions.

5.08

2079-648

2016-575

5.12

2896-1045

2884-845
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
Yes it was will fix it in a bit :)

Data was recorded with my phone that has a otter box commuter case placed ontop of a jewel CD case (as a marker to make sure its on the same spot) similar weather conditions as OP, 3G speeds are "hsdpa" and test were ran consecutively. Every time a switch was made I went to the browser and loaded google.com twice, so if I swtich to wifi opened browser loaded Google.com twice and resumed collection of data. Phone was fully charged and pluged into AC adapter.

Also was surprised how fast the wifi can go.
[Nexus One General] itay1:
Hey,

Thanks for the data!

Do you know where to get the radio image file?

I want to run it with stock FRG83D.
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
Go to the development section its stickied there as well as all the older radios
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Where are you located or what Tmobile server where you pinging? Those speeds look great...
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
I'm pretty sure that ideally you want to to all these tests in the middle of the night, to make sure network congestion is at an optimal low (this will remove congestion artifacts which you cannot control otherwise), and all the testing in a row :) This is hard work already, and I thank you for this, but to be statistically correct you need more samples as it was said earlier, and done with no sights of congestion. That's a lot of work to test something like this though.

I would do the testing but I have a 1GB soft cap every month and I'd like not to blow it all away in one strike trying to see which one goes the fastest :)
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
Yeah these test were ran from like 11 pm through. 2 am...

The ping scores are from the speed test app I live in NY I picked the Cincinnati server
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
I would be more interested in a comparison of battery performance.

I tried both 5.08 and 5.12 and I not only had really slow internet on 5.12 but battery performance on both 5.x was horrible compared to 4.06.

I have now gone back to 4.06 and battery is "ok" though clearly NOT anywhere near what the device specs say (and my battery says it's GOOD with ~4170mV when at 100%).

With the 4.06 radio on 3G my phone uses 0.48% battery per minute for a phone call (display off during the call) which comes out to 208 minutes of total calling.

It would be interesting to see a comparison between the radios for battery performance. What's the battery usage per minute for:

- 3G calling

- 2G calling

- device just sitting there with screen on

- device just sitting there with screen off

- surfing the web

- navigation

...
[Nexus One General] solidmac:
Get an app like watch dog and see what apps are running when you don't need them. Example I had was PayPal was always running preventing my phone grime going to idle state. I uninstalled it and like magic battery life jumped from 12 hrs to like something around 15-24 hrs.
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
2G calling uses 0.61% battery on average. 4.06 radio.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Literally impossible that 2G is using more power than 3G...

Either something was eating more power in your 2G test, either your 3G test was flawed
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
Isn't it supposed to get more talk time on 3G than 2G per the specs? And it certainly wasn't anything else since that shows up as its "own" battery usage process. this is calling ONLY.

What kills "normal" 3G battery performance is probably the switching back and forth between 2G and 3G since 2G has better reception in my experience.

Still battery performance sucks!!!

And if you don't believe me, why don't you replicate the test, it's literally as simple as checking your battery level and battery usage and calculating how much of the battery depletion was due to calls.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
I can't, my network is WCDMA and has no 2G whatsoever. I'm necessarily always on 3G (although I often turn off data because my plan sucks and I don't feel like spending 10$ for 200mb).

But, technically, 2G should use less...look at this: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_google_nexus_one-3069.php

It clearly has more battery on 2G (talk and standby) than on 3G. I find it really odd that you were getting bad performance on 2G. Do you have a weak signal though?
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
If I get a weak signal with this phone in the middle of London, then HTC has a serious problem ...

How about posting YOUR battery consumption during calls?
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
sure, what do you use to measure the consumption (so we have the same measuring tools)?

btw, it IS possible to get weak signal in a city...and it's not HTC's fault, but your carrier's fault. Don't think you are immune to low signal. I'm in the middle of Montreal and my brother gets signal drops in his room (downstairs) because of low signal on his Captivate. I'm sure his battery drains like hell because of that.
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
Settings => About => Status & Battery Usage
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
here is a beginning (haven't had time to do the test yet).

This is to show you I'm not lying to you when I say that my phone lasts long on a normal use. Here are the two screenshots that prove it.

During this time, I was on Cyanogen 7, texting quite a bit, talking a bit (like 1 hour in total) and browsing/downloading a lot on wifi. As I stated, I do NOT use 3G data, but I am always on 3G network because of my carrier's frequencies.

I will most probably do the test tomorrow if I have enough time!
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
without usage time for each those pics don't say anything.

With wifi data, my phone also barely uses any power often have 60%+ after 10-12 hours ... make 1 phone call though and the battery is almost empty.
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
I didn't have time to take a pic of the usage time because I wasn't home.

Other than that, I haven't had time to test today either because of too much work...will report back when I will.
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
Cool. I wish more people would post their battery consumption on calls, etc.

The more I test, the more I can confirm my average battery consumption numbers:

e.g. took the phone of the charger at 100% charged, had a 33:38 minute call that used up 83% of the battery consumption and the battery was at 79% when I checked => 83% of the 21% battery used was for the call, which comes out to ~0.52% battery usage per minute of calling on 3G.
[Nexus One General] thefatalepic:
For what it's worth,

I had 5.12 for quite some time - never really payed any attention to signal quality before flashing so it was difficult to tell any difference.

I had some issues with slow graphics and BAD quadrant scores, so one of the many things I tried was going to the 5.08 radio. (I know it makes no sense.)

-------------------

I was frustrated all this morning because, not only is the power out at my work, but I am getting EDGE instead of H (HSPA+/3G whatever) everywhere around my work.. which NEVER happened before.

I downloaded the 5.12 radio, which took FOREVER on EDGE (<-- nice band name) and flashed it just now.

As soon as my phone booted, it switched from E to H. :D

(I know this could be a fluke.. but I was stuck on E from 9AM to 12:30PM. As soon as I flashed the 5.12 radio the signal switched to HSDPA+. I am assuming there is definitely an improvement in the new radio as far as locking onto HSDPA+ when the signal isn't as strong.)
[Nexus One General] cditty:
The 5.x versions of the radio have given me considerable stability in my connection. 4.x dropped to edge all the time. The newer radios do not do that for me. Also (and this could be in my head), the GPS seems more stable. On 4.x, I had to reboot the phone to get GPS locks. I have yet to notice that on 5.x.
[Nexus One General] Franc38:
I never had any problems with GPS but I feel like I get the lock faster with 5.12. However, I clearly see an improvement in terms of both stability and sensitivity to 3G... I'm way more often in 3G/H when I was a lot on G and E before flashing to 5.x...
[Nexus One General] nexus-six:
4.xx gives much better battery performance than 5.xx radios.

FWIW:

voice calls (3G)	26.24%	1h 1m 17s	(=> 0.43%	per minute => 232 minute talk time)

display	3.69%	14m 50s

cell standby	3.28%	10h 56m

wifi	2.87%	8h 16m

phone idle	2.87%	10h 41m

other	2.05%

total battery usage today	41%	10h 56 47s
[Nexus One General] fidorulz:
People should start using juice plotter for these measurements since it would give more details as to what is being used when as well as CPU temp etc
[Touch CDMA General] dertester123:
Hey,

i want to use a different provider for phone and internet.

There are dual-clips for Kaiser on wimobile, but im note sure if this is system dependent.

Is it even possible to use 3g and phone at different sim-cards at the same time? Or do i have to switch to the 3g data-sim for internet and then the phone isnt working the whole time the connection stands?

Thx
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
if you manage to get a vogue to work off a SIM let alone 2 your a braver man than me ;)
[Touch CDMA General] dertester123:
AH damn..

The Vogue doesnt support sim cards? Its this cdma thing?:eek:

Sorry but its not usual here (germany) so i wasnt thinking about this, because of the similarities polaris <-> Vogue.

Was posting here, because Polaris forum seems not very active...

Hmm.. where´s a good place to ask this?
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
yea vogue is the CDMA (and arguably better) version of the Elf, so yea no sims on cdma atleast not in the USA
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
It's DEFINITELY better than the elf. that's why they released the elfin.

plus neither of those has android :p

LOL it's not a bad idea :D i will buy one later ( when my battery DIES :D )

was wondering if i can CONSERVE ?? how do u guys conserve your battery :D ?

all i do is close Wifi , blutooth, kill inactive :/ , what can i do more ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collie666:
The one thing I found that was eating my battery was always on 3g data. Check out DCSwitch from the market ... it allows you to disable/enable data connection on demand.

I haven't tried APNDroid - but that approaches data disable from a different angle.

With data off in standby, I use <1% per hour...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma575:
Very nice and handy thx 3g always ways my battery also.

but for now I don't have 3g lol missing APN

THX SO FAR people mOre suggestions is always welcomed
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
So I went to a t-mobile store today to pick up a MT4G, and noticed that the demo handset had wireless tethering enabled. So, I went ahead and bought one on my Even More Plus plan (installments, not subsidized/contract.)

Once I got it set up and working, I had a look in the Wireless settings again, and....vanilla Froyo tethering is enabled?!?

Now, I'm sure they plan on handing this similar to the T-Mobile TV stuff (trialware with a big fat agreement before you can run it) - but why would this be enabled out of the box? They can't charge you without you agreeing to the extra fee.

Now, apparently there's an OTA already, but I'll be damned if I'll install until someone confirms that tethering still works without an up-sale screen.

Anyone have any insight on this? Why is this enabled without me having to agree to paying the bill?
[myTouch 4G General] sunnylicious:

[myTouch 4G General] rgoyena:
I just called customer service about this an the associate stated that it will deduct out of ur minutes. That being said, I dont know what the statement is saying.
[myTouch 4G General] tonyriceroni:
How will they know if you're tethering or not?
[myTouch 4G General] aiwapro:
Sprint blocked the traffic from traversing to and from the remote gateway, but I believe this was only in their provided app. Other apps worked without much issue, but required rooting.
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
They can't. It's impossible to tell the difference without doing deep packet inspection on a massive scale (ie. all network traffic.) In other words, they can't.

*sigh* bull****.

1) if other apps work, then it is (by definition) not blocked.

2) TCP/IP traffic which originates at the phone (either via masquerading / IP forwarding or an application) looks the same from the outside. There is no way to distinguish one from the other.
[myTouch 4G General] Product F(RED):
You can still use PDANet without root though. It's wired, but is it really worth the battery power to use wireless when you don't need it?
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
It is if you want to tether non-windows/mac or multiple devices. Besides, you can still plug it in while using wireless...

As for PDA net, I've noticed some weird stuff there, like 1000+ms latency, DNS failures, etc. Stuff that doesn't happen from the phone itself. Odd...
[myTouch 4G General] chadmd23:
Looks like the tether option is still there also, if you look at the Connect to PC menu. But my wireless is working. If it goes down, just soft root and install the app that replicates the feature.
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
I just installed the OTA that finally allowed WiFi calling. Tethering still works for me, using the $20 preferred data plan. If they try to hit me with a charge in a few days or weeks, I'll just call and *****. If they can't sell it to me for super cheap, I'll just use PDAnet. Problem solved.
