[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabgard:
Odin will not work in Recovery mode, you have to be in Download mode, use the key combinations for download mode, mine is turn off the phone, unplug the USB and hold down the volume key and turn the phone on, while holding the volume down, and make sure you have the pit file, do a reasearch and you will find the pit file for vibrant. You have to have the pit file attached when you use Odin. But make sure you are in download mode not in recovery.

Get phone into download mode. The easiest way to do this is pull out battery from phone. Then plug phone into usb connected to computer it will have the battery sign. Hold volume keys and power button when the screen goes black let go of power button. You will be in download mode if Odin doesn't detect it unplug usb and replug it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
I tried that for Odin again, and it didnt work, I also tried a hundred different methods and steps, but they all have the same problem.

Im on Windows 7 64 bit, and I get a message after about 5 seconds of plugging my download-mode phone into the computer that says "USB Device not recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it, for assistance in solving this problem, click this message"

In device manager, I see one of the devices is called "unknown device" when I plug in the phone in download mode... I tried to manually install drivers from a list, but none seem to work so far...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
What if I manage to somehow put a file in the internal memory, would I be able to use the recovery console to bring the phone back to life?

EDIT: Sorry for double post
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
Correct. You can get into cwm recovery still correct? only if yes to first.....And when you are in cwm with phone plugged into pc if you type adb devices what comes up?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
Wait... I must be confusing recovery mode with CWM... Sorry Im still new to android... How can I bring up CWM if the phone doesnt boot? Last time I brought up CWM I had to use the ROM manager when the phone was working........

OH CRAP! Now I get it, when you try to reboot into CWM, it reboots into recovery the first time, and then youll have to reboot again to get into CWM... Oh... So that means.... I tried to restore the file I downloaded using the recovery console, and thats why it crashed my phone....

Well.... Im gonna try to connect the phone to yet another computer in download mode, I doubt it will work, but I will try.

Meanwhile if you guys have any suggestions.... And sorry for my stupidity...

Oh, and as for ADB, I tried to install that on my computer, but when I go to CMD, it keeps giving me an error saying the device is offline... So Im guessing I have to turn it on somehow using the phone...?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHeiSty:
Thegreat has helped me narrow things down... Im using a blackberry mini USB data cable, and so that COULD be the problem.

If anyone reading this has a mini USB cable that was not specifically made for the vibrant, could you please try to connect your vibrant to your computer in download mode using the cable that wasnt made for the vibrant?

Does the computer detect it?

I would really appreciate any feedback, because I dont currently have the original cable, and it would take a long time to get one shipped from samsung, not to mention the hefty pricetag because its OEM.

Help would be appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
I have used a blackberry specific cable when booting into dl mode and flashing odin, and it works for me.

Try this method if you haven't already, or keep trying it, sometimes doesn't work the first time.

1. Open odin on your pc an have the pit and tar fies loaded.

2. Remove battery, sd, and sim cards.

3. Plug in usb cable from pc to phone.

4. Holding both volume up and volume down, pop the battery in.

That should boot you right into dl mode. If you get the green battery image, pull battery and try it again. I have found if you hold the phone face down in your left hand when holding the volue buttons, makes it a little easier to keep the buttons depressed whie popping the battery in. Hope this helps, good luck.

shoot me an email at jumaaneface@gmail.com helped another guy here fix his phone today. if you can hear the jingle when you boot it up, its either a kernel issue or a modem issue. not too difficult to fix.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkewalra:
Was there any resolution to this problem? I've been having the same problem for a while now. Worked around it using Wifi apps to log into my phone, as well as just using the external SD card for most media files.

Odin doesn't even recognize my phone and I've tried just about everything. I just get a USB Device not Recognized message when I plug it in and even then I don't always get that.

Thanks. I'd love to be able to odin the phone back to stock and see if the ROMs I've been using perform better after that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCato:
Just got a Incredible 2 days ago, came from a Eris. Loved the Eris and I was running KaosFroyo. Loved the way it ran. First day I had the DInc I rooted it. Second day im trying out ROMs and im on skyraider vanilla so far and im not feeling it too much. So im wondering if anyone came from the Eris and what roms they would recommend. Im not that into sense based ones though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroboy1080:
I did the same exact switch except I came from tazzfroyo and went to skyraider. Once I spent like a day or two on that I didn't feel it so much either. I switched to cyanogenmod nightly builds and haven't regretted it since. Good luck and happy flashing!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] techchallenged:
So I really want android on my HD2 and after sitting here at the computer for the past 4 hours and getting nothing accomplished i decided to seek help..... I tryed using the "simple" directions and ROM that was offered on stuffmiddleeast.com

For HD2 users, here’s the super-easy way of putting Android on your phone. Download this file and extract the file. Make sure you have at least 70 per cent battery. Remove the SIM card from the phone and you’re ready to go.

You might find that your phone will need to sync multiple times. What that means is you have to start up Windows Mobile Device Center (if you sync up your HD2 to your PC you should already have it, if not – you can download it from here and connect your phone through it.

Step 1

Sync your phone and browse to the HSPL folder and start up HSPL3_PKG.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.

Step 2

Sync your phone and browse to the CUSTOM ROM folder and start up ruu.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.

Step 3

Sync your phone and browse to the RADIO and start up CustomRUU.exe. Keep pressing next until the update starts. Do NOT touch the phone until update is over.

Step 4

Extract Android.zip and copy it’s content to the MicroSD card folder of your phone via cable or with a MicroSD adapter.

Step 5

Open File Explorer on your phone, browse to the Storage Card and open the Android folder. Select CLRCAD.EXE then run HaRet.exe. Remember to run CLRCAD.exe first as this gives Android Sound. Don’t worry if it does nothing – it’s not supposed to. The first time you load Android, it might take as long as 10 minutes to boot up – so don’t worry if the phone stops responding.

I got through step one i downloaded the rom from megaupload.com as they suggested i extracted the files..... then i followed step one and selected the HSPL folder and i worked fine.... the phone had a pop up that said "you have been hacked or something along those lines...... then i went to step 2 and tryed to open the CUSTOMROM as directed however it seems that the files that were downloaded to my computer read a little differently but i was able to see that it was the file that they were talking about.... so i did that then as step 2 says i tryed to run the ruu.exe..... the file that i downloaded to my computer said ruu not ruu.exe....... i still attempted to run it but it would always tell me that the file has stoped working....... so i am out of ideas.... i loaded and reloaded and still the same thing, i even tryed a different computer..... i am using a windows 7 computer fully updated.... if you could please help me figure out what i am doing wrong or at least give me dummy instructions on how to do this i would totally appreciate it...... im not totally illiterate when it comes to operating tis kinda stuff but if you could keep the verbage and terms somewhat "english" it would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jrip777:
Well this is definately not the correct place for this. This is why we have a Q&A section. You do not HAVE to flash a different ROM to run android. It is just preferred. So I guess start here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477

and after that go read the tutorials in the android section. What did you do with the whole 4 hours at your computer. the step by step info is incredibly easy to find????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miguel4u2:
You don't need HSPL or a rom and all that crap to run android...What kind of tutorial is that!? Its as simple as...format the memory card on the hd2 to fat32, download the android rom and copy the android folder to the root of the memory card and go to file explorer and find the android folder and click on clrad.exe first then Haret.exe and wait 15 min.....walahh

Sometimes it easier to explain than to find the damm link to the tutorial :D

COLOR CODED JUST IN CASE ;)

I did exactly! that with Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution on ORIGINAL STOCK USA TMOBILE htc hd2 . No Hard spl no custom "Compatible roms" and no BS. Simple . Fully working android and I am not going back . Only thing is don't hook it up to PC with usb . you'll mess it up . to transfer files to and from laptop go to android market and download freeware called websharing . With websharing you connect to your laptop through same wifi as your android . Like I said . Simple

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vodanh1213:
Truely, if you use HD 2 T-mobile with the radio 5.10.50.You NO NEED to do anything, just copy the android folder to your sd card.Go in winmo - exploder and click on 2 file CLRCAD and HARET and it will run.

If battery is always 60ma when screen off, try to reformat you sd card(FULL and 32kb locate) and use setcpu, this will help.

[Vibrant General] jmattp:
I just read this thread at Android Forums and confirmed it with my wife's Captivate. Usually in TouchWiz, the homescreen defaults to the far right until you get to 4 screen, then it's always #4. The captivate now has a little home icon so you can set the center screen regardless of how many screens it has.

Did I miss something or did we just not get that option? If not, can it be ported to the Vibrant?

If anyone knows how to do that and needs a file or package to look at, let me know which one and I'll upload it.
[Vibrant General] jslee1020:
This is touchwiz30launcher.apk from captivate. It is modified by GTG in the captivate forum.

modified twlauncher

I have tested this on my girlfriend's vibrant, and it is working, and eugene has also incorporated it into his jpo froyo rom. Since this works, theoretically any captivate TouchWiz30Launcher.apk should work on vibrant.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] majik12:
Vlingo works for me. Free app in the market. I wouldn't use it to send emails but works well for voice dialing and short text messages. Although I have heard murmurs that it's a 30 day trial, it's not indicated anywhere in the app itself. It used to be a paid app anyways and is now free. Car mode is actually quite good. Works best with either the mic or bluetooth.

hello n1 users, had a question i was hoping someone can help me with. im constantly putting new roms into my nexus one and with the almost daily updates, im getting tired of wiping and running a batch of applications on titanium backup back onto the phone. Right now i just check the boxes next to the app i want installed back onto the phone from a list of backed up apps but it requires me to press "install" and "done" after every single app installs. is there a method you guys use where you can push a button and it loads up all the apps at once that you backed up and wont require me to push "install" and "done" after each app ?
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
In Titanium, select menu, then batch, then restore all...

thats what i do already but as it puts each backed up app it asks me "install" and then "done".....pretty much i'd like it to be able to walk away from my phone as it restores instead of confirming each app restore.

[Nexus One General] crawler9:
If you want to restore app data as well as your apps, Titanium Backup is your best option. If you want to install the apps only, use a file manager like Astro to back up all apks, save them to your computer, and when you're ready to install them, navigate to the folder in which all the apps are saved and run the command

adb install *.apk
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
I'm not sure (?) if adb supports wildcards in this case.

If not, something like this will do:

for $f in (*.apk) do abd install $f

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguTactix:
So I decided to flash my sister's x10a today and everything worked. Going through the same procedures, my phone (also x10a) would not boot up after flashing and would give the yellow exclamation mark. We both got our phones from Rogers, but I got mine a month before she did.

I heard that it could be a defective nand, but if that were the case, why am I still able to reflash back to x10i or x10a shipped firmware using X10Flash and update using SEUS? That being said, I can't flash to anything else like the X10i 026 Generic firmware. Is this a problem with my phone being defective or is it just that the programming and coding hasn't been worked out for all phones yet?
