I was playing a game and the same thing happened to me. I had to reboot 3 times to get service back
[Vibrant Android Development] shawn605:
I have "unknown" for baseband... I had ODIN'ed T959UVJFD...

Where can I get a working baseband?!?!?!?
[Vibrant Android Development] Alexia Whitehurst:
Version 5 download

I have only been able to find the one download link (In the OP) for version 5. I looked on the TW homepage as well, but nadda! Anyone know if TW put up a mirror somewhere else?

Thanks so much in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
ODINed to JDF then flashed v5, now instead of just not being able to get on HSDPA it says I don't have a SIM installed. And the plot thickens. More on this later tonight.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
When use used Odin, did you have re-partition checked? If not, give that a try and then flash v5. I would be curious to know if that solved it for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Just flashed v5, it's seem EXTREMELY fast and very snappy, currently restoring, rebooting, lag fixing, then going to see how she handles...
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
As noted above I don't think that's a good idea or at least not without a serious warning of Dragons ahead. Doing the same thing suggested just gave me an hour's worth of headache of not even being able to get into Download mode (though I've eventually fixed it: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART).

Side note, even after recovering from the repartition nightmare I *still* cannot flash V3-V4.2. I think it might help more to know what's changed in the build specifically between V2 and V3 as well as V4.2 and V5.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
So, you had the .pit and .tar files loaded when you had the re-partition checked? The same files found in one of the links in my sig? If so, I don't think checking re-partition would have been the cause of a problem. Are you also using Odin3 v1.70?

I'm not accusing you of doing anything, wrong, I am simply comparing to what has worked perfectly for me every time. I do however, know that there are phones with different hardware (which, there in could lie the problem).
[Vibrant Android Development] established:
the market downloads apps and doesnt unstall them...and the data speed is slow...im in Philadelphia
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just as another thought, I helped guy with not being able to see his sim card and it turned out it was in backwards. He had taken it out to flash via Odin. Make sure it's in right.
[Vibrant Android Development] bosslabs:
wow V5 is really cool except my gps still doesn't work...any ideas how to fix this,please help!
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
Someone...took out their sim card...to odin... wow.

Every once in a while you're presented with a shining real-life example of the GIGO Law. This is definitely one of them.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, personally I never take out my sim card or my external sd card. Never had an issue. Although, I have seen many people recommend it, so I do the same to be safe when telling others what to do.
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
I really dont see the need. I live 5 minutes from a TMO store, so if my SD or SIM dies from too much flashing, i'll simply make sure i'm odin'd to stock, go in there and tell them that i woke up this morning, turned on my phone and my sim/sd didnt work and they need to give me a new one. But I have never, ever, heard of someone's sim card being corrupted by flashing anything to a device.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
Turns out I didn't have a usable modem installed! Probably was forgotten in the beta. Installed JI6 and everything is cool, minus HSDPA. About to give v3 another whirl as it worked perfectly prior to my upgrade to 4.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I find it interesting that some are not getting the modem with the beta and other (like me) are. I wonder why that is. I even Odin'ed back to stock JFD with re-partition checked before I flashed v5 beta. Phone shows I have JK2 modem. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] hitman21888:
I'm using it right now. The drivers you need are in this post.

after that hook up your phone and turn on tethering and your computer should recognize it as a mobile internet device via usb

Happy tethering :p

obsidian

As of yesterday, I know of no other download links except in the OP. I'm waiting for some news of an update since Some stated V5 was not finished.:)
[Vibrant Android Development] kolomari:
Czardestructo,

I saw this issue when I was upgrading to v5 and it would not recognize the JK2 modem. I had to flash a new modem to get it working. Grab the JI6 modem and flash it to your phone using clockwork recovery. Mine has been working fine for a day or so using the JI6 modem.

Whyd you guys go back to the old Vibrant 2.1 bubble SMS look? I liked the Obsidian V3 look...
[Vibrant Android Development] tachyon2601:
Same problem here although i can at least receive mms through the wifi calling app.
[Vibrant Android Development] trey48fan:
mms error

Had this as well. The way I fixed it was to add a 1 to the prefix of the number before I sent. Worked perfect. Just have to remember to do that every time or go to gmail account and edit all contacts...

LOL... Sorry Moon, I quoted the wrong text... Hope the asker realizes that...
[Vibrant Android Development] trey48fan:
Add a 1 to the number. This is a better post to quote than moonfire's

Sorry for the double back to back same answer post. Not trying to up my count!
[Vibrant Android Development] dumbkkid:
can ANYONE pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tell me whats going on with my phone?!

it was all fine and working 100% after i applied a lag fix (i forgot which one)

then later on, i tried converting the lag fix to the no-rfs overkill jfs one. after everything completed, i boot up onto my homescreen and now all my apps are gone...

so i thought it got wiped or something, so i checked my gallery.. all my pics were there and stuff.

so i thought that i could just use titanium back up to restore all my apps back again. when i tried installing it, it said that it already exists and that i'll be replacing it. so out of confusion i just pressed okay. later it showed that the "application was not installed"...

i tried converting back to stock(no lag fix) and it didnt help. it got rid of the lag fix but all my apps are still missing and its still not letting me install anymore.. please help!
[Vibrant Android Development] WP4WP4:
I was able to send MMS using the SIM card contacts only. Try deleting all phone contacts. Try and let me know if it works this way.

I flashed V5 beta and lost my signal...I've flashed plenty of times to know what I am doing. I tried different modems, etc. I Odin backed to stock...numerous times. I tried using Eugene's 2.2 as well...still nothing. I flashed like 5 different roms, and still no signal. I even formated the sd...just for the hell of it. Someone please help!
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
I had the same issue and i just messed around with airplane mode untill i got a signal and reflashed...everything is great now

Vibrant + Obsidian v5 beta + Blackfroyo theme + OCLF
[Vibrant Android Development] karnzo:
Yeah, I just got it to work...somehow. It only took about 10 tries of flashing various roms...weird. While I did that I put my sim card in an old phone I found...a samsung blast! Anyone remember those? I made like two calls on it and I was told how much better the call quality was...haha. Then I played snake on it while I pooped.

[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I had something screwy happen the other day...I got no data, no signal, no nuthin'. I was playing around trying to figure it out when I hit the power button to bring up the menu and for the first time noticed "Data network mode." For whatever reason it was set to off, and I know I didn't do that.

I simply selected it and bingo, I had my signal back. I thought the whole thing was odd, because in other places everything appeared to be on. So, take a look and maybe you'll get lucky.
[Vibrant Android Development] svladimir:
Same thing happened to me twice yesterday - suddenly I got no signal, no connection etc. The only thing that helped was reboot.

Also the phone rebooted itself once. Obsidian 4.2 with stock kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Seems like the v5 Beta comes with JK2 modem. But which is better JK2 modem or JI6?
[Vibrant Android Development] feelx77:
Mms fix that worked for me

Posted a fix on Development page and Q&A pages that worked for me for the "Error in Server Response" when attempting to send MMS/Picture Messaging. No need to put a 1 in front of contacts to send or anything special after I appllied the steps outlined in my post messaging worked like normal both SMS & MMS.

Quoted below for reference:

I had same problem with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF with picture messaging otherwise MMS.

This fixed it perfectly for me:

Go to your main menu settings.

Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.

Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"

Exit back to main screen.

Now open messaging.

Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.

While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,

only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".

Click it & exit.

Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.

Hope it helps some of you all out.

I'm running Bionix Fusion 1.2 stock on my phone now. Can I just flash the V5 beta over Bionix without any additional stuff? Thx.
[Vibrant Android Development] pookguy88:
can someone give me some instructions on how to goto Obsidian from Bionix? I bought a used Vibrant and it had Bionix installed, that's all I know, I don't know which version (although I do know it's an Eclair one cause the status screen says 2.1), if the lag fix has been applied, which kernel it has etc... Where do I go from here???

Thanks

edit: ok I have a JI6 kernal...
[Vibrant Android Development] ThC23:
I just installed the transparent TW launcher and it only shows the app selection at the bottom. It doesn't show the dialer, mms, or web option like in v2.

[Vibrant Android Development] Smokeyla1:
going back to fusion

I want to go back to fusion because some apps I use daily arent working with this new rom or 2.2 whichever it is...I had 4.2 with overkill no rfs the last option and I odined back to jfd. When I tried to flash fusion it just hung at finding packages or something...the first thing that comes up. Thanks for any help

is there something I have to do to like disable something like we did with voodoo?
[Vibrant Android Development] charkey:
I ODIN'ed back to TMobile stock then flashed V5 beta on top. Had initial problems connecting to the mobile network so I had no voice or data. Reflashed again with V5 then everything worked again.
[Vibrant Android Development] MRhodes23:
If you have a Voodoo equipped rom, you need to disable Voodoo first. (search and you will find the answer how. There are multiple ways) Once it is disabled, just follow the directions in the first post. Easiest way to find out if you are running Voodoo is to connect the phone to your computer and mount the SD card. Look in the root directory of the SD card and look for a directory named "Voodoo". If it is there, you are more than likely running Voodoo. Be careful if you aren't familiar/comfortable with modifying the phone.

Adding shortcuts to the launcher is the same as adding them to the background of the phone. Just long hold on the phone, select shortcuts, then applications. Once it is on the background, just drag it to the bottom of the screen.

Any fix for fix_permissions in ROM Manager and in recovery mode?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pat123:
Worked for me too...Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] eguie22:
I flashed v5 right over v4.2 with stock jk2 kernel using recovery and all was fine. from what I have read you have to disable any lag fixes you have running including voodoo then flash v5
[Vibrant Android Development] inrelief:
I just flashed the v5 beta over my existing 4.2 install w/stock kernel and the result was a wipe of my system settings, and the version in settings remained 4.2.

I didn't wipe data & cache prior to applying the v5 beta.

Is this the expected behavior (the incorrect version threw me for a loop)?
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
Yep, same pit, same tar, same Odin, and eventually recovered *not* using the repartition (though it was insanely hard to get it to respond, something I don't wish on anyone).

I do not have a hardware locked phone and with the above exceptions noted have no unusual problems otherwise. Re-partition was nearly an insta-brick.

Digging through some earlier posts I noticed the eugene said pretty much never ever repartition under any circumstance for any reason unless Samsung says so. I don't know if his opinions have changed but at the moment I don't think it'd be a great idea for the wary. Also as noted above even after getting the phone back to life it *still* didn't fix my problem, so in either event it only seemed to hurt and do nothing to help.

I'm glad it doesn't cause an issue for you and it's possible of course that I'm alone in my difficulties. However, it should carry a much-larger-than-usual "dragons be here" sign.
[Vibrant Android Development] caubecari:
Can anybody help me to disable lag fix? I disable voodoo lag fix already but have some lag fix install I don't know how. Before that I installed 4.2 ULF but in drain battery so fast I back to 4.2 stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] KUKitch:
Tried this and sent a pic, seems to have worked perfectly! Thanks, this was about the only issue for me, apart from the kswapd0 battery killer of course but that's another story.
[Vibrant Android Development] reekxda:
Any one else having a problem with google maps force closing? Every time I open it that happens, I'm running obsidian 4.2 with over kill lag fix with black froyo mod v2.
[Vibrant Android Development] eguie22:
This was answered somewhere in the thread, but after flashing v5 it will still say v4.2 in settings becouse this is a beta and the official release is not out. But for all intents and purposes you are running v5 beta now
[Vibrant Android Development] kizer:
Sadly no and its the very reason I'm not running any of the 2.2 builds. With a FC now and then there is really no way to correct them.
[Vibrant Android Development] inrelief:
Thanks for replying -- this thread is huge!

Do we expect each flashed update to wipe all settings?

Coming off the N1 & Cyanogen, this wasn't an issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] workshop22:
should i flash?

quick question....i've been running obsidian v3 w/voodoo now since it was released and it has been more than awesome, great battery, phone is fast, etc. etc.

i'm very tempted to flash v5 beta, my question is, is there any reason to do so? has anyone flashed to v5 from v3 and had a better experience with it? i realize if it isn't broke don't fix it, but maybe i can improve my phone a little?

i was also thinking of dropping the a14 kernal on my phone as well, can anyone tell me how that is working for them?

sorry i've been reading the forum as i can, but it is getting super huge and tougher to find the specific answer you're looking for in this craziness of posts.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
I had this same problem as well. Didn't matter what I did, I had to reboot and it would work for a little while. Flashing back to v3 fixed it.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
I'd hold tight unless you want the universal lag fix or backlight notification options. There's no other noticeable advantages I can think of other than kernel tweaks.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I would suggest waiting if I were you. V5 beta is what is available right now, and I would assume from the fact that it's been out a few days now that we will be seeing a completed V5 or something else new really soon. I can't say for sure, but based off the Whiskey track record, that should be a fair assumption.

Edit: the main thing I would say I am happy about with v5 is that the usb mounting fix is truly working now.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Anyone running Eugene's A13 OC/UV Kernel instead of the A14? Would A14 be considered better with newer revisions and bug fixes?
[Vibrant Android Development] ugokind:
gps

in v5 modem is slowly.. and gos get too much time to catch data.

so what is the procedure to flash only a firmware o a part of the rom?

should I flash all?

another: I never can use voltage control.. so v5 isn't OCLF? I suppose yes. .. .. . . . but? ?? ?

ps battery sucks a lot.. run juice defender or super power to get a bit of more life..

__never say no to panda__
[Vibrant Android Development] rjhay22:
I could be wrong. But if you read the logs carefully, the only difference between by the two are the boot animation. So they pretty much are the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Yeah, I just read over the change logs just now. Its the same except for boot animation. I did notice that when I enable one of the lag fixes.. it doesn't show the name of my apps on the home screen. Know anything about that? I'm going to re-flash v5 Beta and flash JI6 Modem and mess around with a few things.

Edit: do you know if anyone has "sleep of death" issue with this Rom and A14? I am reading over on Eugene's site that R12 and A14 combined, phones are having "sleep of death" issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
I flashed V5 last night and then A14 over it and I've only had one problem and that was a freeze up during a racing game but I think that was due to the UV settings. Other than that no issues. Flashable multi-touch keyboard works, Flashable transparent launcher works, as well as the flashable Android-esque framework. Did the advanced Voodoo lagfix through clockwork.

Linpack 16.47

Quadrant 1679

Almost forgot will not send MMS. It's not reading the number properly from contacts. Name <M> is all I see. I'm using the MMS from Asopish Rom until this is fixed. It actually shows the number, Name <***-***-****>.

thanks guys, i appreciate the feedback...moon thanks man, i'll wait for the completed v5 to come out before i flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
You can't send MMS? I never tried so wouldn't really know... is it cause of v5 Beta or A14 itself is keeping us from sending MMS?
[Vibrant Android Development] a4 moda:
Yes. That's what I did. GL
[Vibrant Android Development] jzero88:

Do you guys know if I can flash Obsidian V5 Beta straight from TMo 2.2 froyo. I just odin back to tmo 2.2 froyo. I owuld like to try Obsidian V5.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
TMo 2.2 Froyo? Where are you that you would be able to get that? Anyway, yes, there's no reason why you couldn't flash right over it. Be sure you're backed up first just in case things get ugly. It can happen to anyone.

anyone experiencing poor battery performance?

i'm currently running v5 with a14 kernel w/ voodoo lagfix and it is burning through the battery even with very little use
[Vibrant Android Development] Sonnislav:
Kernel A13 and A14 for me on v5 hasn't been kind to my battery life either so I have stayed with the stock kernel...
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I've not had good battery life with the most up to date 2.2 ROM's. Onyx R4.2 was pretty good if I remember correctly. The current Obsidian beta hasn't fared too well on my Vibrant. I have no doubt that Team Whiskey is aware of the situation and is working on it.
[Vibrant Android Development] tenbeau:
This is a nubie question I have only flashed 4 roms before and 2 were on my Nexus One, on this wonderful Vibrant do I just copy the Obsidian v5 zip to the internal sd and then run rom manager to install from SD? I would imagine I would wipe data and cache?

I am currently running Eugenes Stock 2.2 unofficial froyo. Can I just flash over it with V5? Does v5 have a stock kernel included? Sorry for all of the questions but I am trying to learn as fast as I can. I am more familiar with Odin than with flashing with rom manager. All help and Info is greatly appreciated!!!
