The vibrant is totally hack friendly. Even for hardware locked phones (because that's fixable). As long as you have some remote idea of what you are doing, its pretty hard to screw up.
[Vibrant General] grennis:
Are you serious? The vibrant has to be the most hack friendly phone there is. The recovery does not even check for signatures. The hardware lock was a bug and was fixed in the update but I doubt you even know what the hardware lock is or you would know that already. Kind if like you dont know what "brick" means
[Vibrant General] blasian shadows:
lol i forgot to disable voodoo before switching roms once. it wasnt voodoos fault, it was mine because i forgot to disable it.;p
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
The Vibrant does seem pretty un-brickable.

On the other hand, I had to spend a day and a half recovering after trying to go to stock from an earlier Bionix Voodoo version. And yes, I did disable Voodoo.

So, yeah, I'd suggest people exercise caution with Voodoo.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Are you Serious? I dont consider myself a expert and I know this section of the forums is dead(until some 2.2/leaks/etc come out) but dont take it out on me.

Sorry fellas I forgot how sensitive some people are, I ADMIT, use wrong choice of words in my previous post.

Most of my problems came before there was a hardware lock fix. This phone is very hack friendly, just not NOOB friendly. I had a hardware locked Vibrant awhile back before hw lock fixed and luckily Samsung replaced it.
[Vibrant General] Saiboogu:
Hah, Yeah - I had a miserable weekend of that - twice in a row I thoroughly screwed up flashing on top of Voodoo. All my fault though.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
lol a noob warning other noobs. what an insult. and RYANZA is a EXT2 lag fix, not VOODOO! VOODOO is JACs ext4 lagfix. and all roms state you should disable lag fixes. IT YOUR fault you soft brick your phone. the vibrant is nearly impossible to brick.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Wait did anyone see that screen he posted? What's that all about?
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
In other news, I saw on the internet that typing:

sudo rm -R /*

Would make my computer faster. That speed program messed up my computer!

Seriously.....If you don't know what you're doing and fail to even read the most basic of instructions, how do you even think you should be flashing your phone.

Also, brick means your phone is worthless, ie a shiny, expensive brick (or paperweight). If you managed to Odin it back, it wasn't bricked. If you must use the word brick to refer to it, please preface it with soft (soft-bricked).

Also, substituting bork for brick would work.

Nothing wrong with saying YOU (not Voodoo) borked your phone.

Truly, not trying to be (too) rude, but you have to read the instructions.

I only picked on your use of brick because the word gets thrown around a LOT around here & it's incorrect. If there are methods currently available that can revive your system (especially if only using software), then it's not bricked.

People have gotten their phones in a state where they won't turn on, that's bricked!

So, I hope lesson learned on the reading department! Just keep the disable-lagfix update on your SD card & remember to always flash it before you flash anything else.

Also, in the speed dept. you might want to look at the z4 mod, it's working really well (there is something you need to flash to disable it as well).
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Aww, I see what he did. Press menu within OCLF and select kernels. There is VooDoo which will flash the Voodoo beta 4 kernel. Ok, you are are halfways right, BUT Ryan did not create VooDoo, the program just let you install the kernel and even the warning that pops up says that that feature is ALPHA meaning it might not work.
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Thank you OP. That is a helpful post to me. I appreciate the heads up.

Not helpful. He cited his mistake and took his time to help others not make the same mistake.

Not helpful. See above.

Not helpful. See above.

[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
Don't play with big boy toys if you can't read...
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
How was this post helpful to you? The only thing the OP did was say that he did things he was NOT supposed to do such as flashing a rom before disabling VooDoo. And then he tried to use the ALPHA feature of installing the VooDoo kernel again through OCLF. So, because he didn't read clear instructions that are all over the place including within the OCLF app, this is helpful? I'm sorry, it is not helpful at all. This was all user error.
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
That is EXACTLY why I found it helpful! Maybe some of the fellas here missed the memo but if I can learn from someone else's mistake, I'm grateful for it.

CARDS ON THE TABLE:

What I am NOT grateful for are people talking down to others as though they are stupid. I am a member of 4 other software users forums with 30 year deep coder types and none has the anyone like the dozen or so arrogant little punks I sometimes read here. These

few

may know a lot about phones but they need some humility lessons. I'll help with this when sufficiently motivated.

BTW... Again, I thank the vast majority of members here who help others without the snooty BS.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
No one is being snooty but if you look on the VooDoo thread, where I'm sure he first learned of VooDoo, it says in HUGE BOLD RED LETTERS (or something to that affect) that you must remove before flashing anything new. This is something that I am sure you would have read for yourself if you wanted to use VooDoo. Or am I to assume that you also miss in-your-face warnings? The point is that the devs and people on this forum go through great lengths to make sure that people don't mess up their phones. There are warnings on everything. Messing up your phone because you didn't read and then posting about said messing up is only helpful to those who refuse to read also. Are we to assume you also do not read instructions carefully? If so, I'm glad his clarification that not fully following instructions messes up your phone was helpful to you.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
Seriously? The OP obviously does not know what he is talking about. He is talking about 2 totally different lagfixes.

His initial post did nothing but waste space and time. If a user flashed a Voodoo kernel and DID NOT know they have to disable it prior to flashing ANYTHING over on top of it deserves everything that comes their way. Why? Simply because ANYWHERE you see a ROM using the Voodoo lagfix will state that VOODOO MUST BE DISABLED.

Warnings do not need to be posted for something that obviously already has disclaimers and warnings already in place. If people are not mature enough to take the time to read and follow instructions thoroughly, they should not be modifying their phones.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
The more accurate moral...

Be very careful acting on an incomplete understanding of what you are doing. Consequences await just around the corner.
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Kan, None of that is my issue.

My issue is I don't like bullies.

So sometimes I will address them directly without regard to seniority or post count.

And since you asked,

Oh heck yes

. I HAVE learned the hard way:confused:, sometimes more than once! The last time a member generously led me by phone, through an Odin recovery because of my screw up, on a Friday night, and asked me for nothing. Good dude. (I dropped 80 bucks in his Paypal account anyway.)

Anyway, g'night. Here's a chuckle.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
Go back to OP and see the RYANZA VOODOO screenshot.

I bricked it the first time because I forgot to disable it when flashing a new ROM. Yes it is my fault but when you been using Voodoo for while, its easy to forget that you have it when flashing new ROM. Thats why Im telling people to be careful.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
Oh I'm not really insulting him. It's actually him insulting the work of others and refuses to even read the directions right in front of him. And as far as "bullying" as u say. It's YOU calling people out and insulting others

And btw, a good 800 of my posts were in the g1threads. I deny know anything abt lag fixes or odin until recently. It's not hard to READ THE 1ST POST FOR DIRECTIONS. This thread is as helpful as used toilet paper.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
Like I said ryanza lag fix is ext2 and that voodoo kernal is jacs. That option on the screenie is in alpha and he OS trying to incorporate more lag fixes and kernels.

And according to your logic, all roms are made by clockworkmod? I mean its offered in Rom manager... NO!

Ryanza is not voodoo. Voodoo uses a more stable ext4 fix compared to ryanza ext2 loopback lag fix which eventually corrupts data over time.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
Thanks for the brick clarification, however even the "experts" are using the word wrong. see 2nd paragraph here: http://www.teamwhiskey.com/installation-guide

See Eugene's "Froyo that doesnt brick.." here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558

I appreciate your assistance but like EF Hutton would say...when Eugene or Bionix talk, people listen!
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
Have you not seen the tons of people who forgot to disable voodoo before flashing? Like me, I believe that most ppl know to disable the voodoo before flashing but its easy to forget when youve been using voodoo for a while and then you see a new and exciting ROM that you rush to flash and then its ooops! Perhaps devs should include a voodoo disable in their new ROMs? I think that would free up these boards of the daily "Help!! Bricked my phone" threads we see here....
[Vibrant General] pulser_g2:
Can we stick on topic and stop flaming here please guys.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
AMEN!! Thank you. I am trying to be helpful but ppl are insulting my intelligence.

What they dont realize is Boards are a source of information sharing. They think its their own sandbox!
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
Dude thank you.. I never read the cautions and now I know I have to disable voodoo!! Seriously if you brick your device for being too "excited" you might wanna calm down.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
Dude, So you want to served on? You want the devs to include something you can do? The reason why they can't do that is because when you disable voodoo, it has to covert back to RSF. Then you flash over. Was that really hard? What's next you want viral to come to your house bake you cookies and install the rom for you?

/rage

And also, Ryan has NOTHING NOTHING to do with voodoo. Voodoo is made by supercurio, he just happens to include it.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
To attempt to tow the middle ground of sanity and clarity here.....

To the OP...The reason why such a headline helped create the sh*tstorm that has developed is a simple one. The perceived implication from "Be Very Careful With Voodoo" implies that there is something inherently bad or dangerous about it that hasn't been disclosed already.

It is similar to going to a gun advocacy forum and saying "Be careful with bullets". It's both painfully obvious and fundamentally useless advice.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
A better example is, when you go parachuting before you the ground, pull out the parachute.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
You have a valid point. Thanks. Im gonna see if I change the title in the OP
[Vibrant General] Master™:
That is showing your kernel :rolleyes:

Oops, already said :D

I wonder why it brought me to page 4 when I clicked on "Last Page' LOL
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
See, that's all fine and good, but the same information is in the SAME section that you get the Voodoo mod from in the first place! Seems a lot better to keep that information in the OP of the voodoo thread, no?

It's not snootyness, it IS about helping people. The best place for items of help on Voodoo is the voodoo thread. Having this **** spread all over the forums makes it damn near impossible to find in another week/month/etc...

Obligatory car analogy: Everytime you get in a car, you don't see a warning that gasoline is flammable and you should be careful while driving to ensure you don't cause an explosion.

A warning like this is NOT necessary!

All a thread like this does is spread FUD about Voodoo. It makes it sound like a scary thing that WILL brick your phone randomly, no matter what you do.

For Bionix, it's just a warning that if you somehow happen to brick your phone, it's not his fault (say you pull the plug during a flash, anything can happen). I would say that's being used correctly.

For Eugene, I dunno, maybe initially they thought it was a real brick (or it really did brick) that Odin couldn't fix. There have been a lot of things along the way that people thought were "real" bricks, but could easily be fixed and maybe it's just a legacy issue from that.

Or, he's just catering to the masses and trying to make sure his thread was seen (although being Eugene, it's a good chance that anything he posts will be seen).

I'm not Eugene, so I dunno.

I DO know however that when you get in a situation where nothing else works, you're supposed to flash Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and then flash what you really want, so maybe the original stuff out there DID cause a brick. NOW since there IS a fix readily available, I wouldn't continue to call such issues a brick however.

HELP

Good day,

I cant say im newbie but i cant say also im expert in hacking & putting new rom to my G1 & VIBRANT...

I would like to know how to make my vibrant bring back to life as after I install RYANLAGFIX, i did the voodoo thing too that i feel i fried the kernel as its stuck now in black screen with just lower 4 buttons only have the lights turn on.

I tried to reboot so many times with trying to use my sd card to install the J16 with ODIN but it doesn't help at all...

If theres a way i can make this thing work, please HELP because i spent almost 5 hours of no solutions as I cant make it work again.

Thanks in advance & GOD bless you...
[Vibrant General] i900:
xcuse me...hmm...have to bug in here...happened to me

Quest is ABSOLUTELY correct with his evident image of that OCLF voodoo VIRUS option. If you do NOT believe him, go TRY yourself, it is only a few clicks away from death for your beloved phone;)
[Vibrant General] i900:
You are just a good MONKEY boy lol..

He sure sounded like he KNEW what he was doing because there was NO WARNING anywhere in the app about clicking on the tab will destroy..
[Vibrant General] i900:
+1000+ bravo hellcat standing up to the fallen!

".. arrogant little punks" lol sounded very much like them: SO PROUD of flashing stuff but someday something bad will happen to you by your OWN mistake and SUCK IT UP then if you dare not to tell, lol, what a bunch of hypocrites
[Vibrant General] i900:
SEARCH for "brick" lol but don't worry you'll get it back alive like new

Just be patient! I got great help from the good people here, just search for the link I posted a few days ago.
[Vibrant General] i900:
It WILL happen to them EVENTUALLY. ANYTHING BAD..

You are fine! It is just the damn OCLF voodoo crap in the app that is available to click on WITHOUT any WARNING about it impact, let alone flashing any rom (I didn't, just wondered what the hell and why that tab there in the latest app is green to press on).

Once burned will learn! They will soon..if they don't appreciate our experience.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho.ro:
This is something that has been bothering me for quite some time. I cannot set the phone time accurately, and by this i mean by seconds.

For me, the expected behaviour was that when i set the hour and minute and press ok, the clock would be set and start at the 0 second mark.

Is there a solution, other than rooting the phone, to accurately set the clock ?

Thanks
[7 Mozart General] FrozenLord:
Hi,

I'm currently thinking about getting a HTC 7 Mozart.

One of the biggest questions I have is whether it's possible to just copy the mp3 files to the phone.

Can it be simply plugged into the PC, so I can paste the MP3s in the folder I choose?

If so, does it detect the files automatically and can I copy them to a different PC afterwards (without the use of any special software)?

Thank you very much in advance

I have put together a new Dark Blue theme for SR 4.3. It is optimized and zipaligned. I have themed alot more of this myself as I am getting better with themeing. I have done all of the XML edits. If you like my theme then please hit the thanks button and buy me a soda.

I want to thank the following people and give them credit.

fernando-sor for help in teaching me about xml edits and some of the pngs and alot of the apk's. I used the ones from his Viva Azul blue theme.

iaccax for alot of the pngs. I took them from his Insomnia Nights EVO 4.0 Theme

chingy51o for some of the png's

pendo for his marketplace

ihtfp69 for his awesome ROM

riptide for some of the png's

spence341 for finding my last elusive green png file.

N-Forced for the help with the dialer xml edits.

Stoney 666 for the GB keyboard and clock images

ecsnead69 for all his help with the smali edits on the new marketplace and I used his blacked out Gmail.

B-boy for help with some xml edits that I could not find on the new marketplace

yojoe600 for the 6bar classes.dex

If I have missed anyone else let me know and I will give you credit.

Issues: For some reason the SkyRaider Sense crashes from time to time. Trying to figure out why it does it. If anyone can figure it out I would appreciate it

08/28/2011: V2.8 This is the final version of this theme. I will put out another one when 5.0 drops but I think I might change the color of blue. In this version I have included the newest version of Gmail and the Marketplace. I used B-Boy's Market and just did the xml edits and used my blue png's. I used Fernando-Sor's inverted blue gmail. I have also changed the icons in the settings.apk file. Hope you enjoy it.

08/21/2011: V2.7 I have fixed the FC issue.

08/19/2011: V2.6.1 I forgot to include the 6 bar png's I have them added now.

08/01/2011: V2.6 I have added all of the updates that I have done into one theme. I have signed, zipaligned, and optimized the entire theme. I still have the issue with Rosie FC'ing from time to time. I cannot get anyone to help me fix it.

07/30/2011: Updated Gmail look down below

07/22/2011: Added a MM theme that will give you a 6 signal bar. After you apply it via MM it will take it a long time to boot up. Thanks to yojoe600 for the classes.dex

07/17/2011: Themed the new 3.0.26 market place.

07/10/2011: V2.4 Themed more various png files. Rethemed the keyboard to match the Theme. All the addon's that I had for 2.3 have been added to 2.4

07/02/2011: V2.3 I forgot some of the Rosie apk files. I have them added. You can downlod the full Theme or just the Rosie.

07/01/2011: V2.2 updated it to SR 4.2

To install:

1. Make a Nand Backup First!!!

2. Download theme and save it to your SDCard

3. Install via ROM Manager or Recovery.

4. Wipe Dalvik Cache

5. First boot does take some time.

You need to have the Uncommon addon for this to work. You can flash it via ROM Manager or via recovery.
