You did not make mention of a redownload of the rom you are trying to flash. Have you tried to redownload it to see if you got a bad download? Also, when you Odin back to stock, do you have "re-partition" checked?

Those would be the first things to look at imo. Let me know. I'll try to keep at it with you until we get you running.
[Vibrant Android Development] Vjarndt:
Anyone no where I can get t.mobile visual voicemail app can't find it in the market.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Using Odin to go back to stock is probably one of the best ways to eliminate use created errors. As long as you can get to downloading mode, you can use Odin. If ever you have troubles getting into downloading mode, then see the last link in my sig and look up how to make the jig with the 301k resistor and a micro usb cable. This is the most sure way of getting into downloading mode. imo that is.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Download one of the new team whiskey roms, and unzip the .zip file and look in system/app. I think you will find it as vvm.apk or something like that.
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
Thank you for the response. No, I did not have "repartition" checked since nearly everything I read said it was a Bad Idea (tm). If that would help others that sounds like it might not be such a bad idea.

Side note, almost forgot that yes, I downloaded the ROMs on multiple computers, my phone, and did various hash checks. No issues.

Side note, because for some strange reason I was unable to update my *own* post I am now inexplicably able to flash V5_Beta. I don't know if anything's changed with it but nothing's changed with my phone. I was still completely unable to flash V3-V4.2, but now can flash V5 without issue. Wipe cache and data was of course manually chosen.
[Vibrant Android Development] blackerwater:
Will team whiskey ever release a rom that will be updated through rom manager?

[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Whenever I flash back to stock, I have re-partition checked. That is when I use the .pit and .tar files. Any other time, such as just flashing a modem, or kernel, or anything else via Odin, make sure re-partition is unchecked. Maybe that will do it for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] Vjarndt:
Not sure how to do that.
[Vibrant Android Development] TBDakotaM:
Ok, so This is the first ROM I've looked at. Never flashed before. How different from stock will it be? I'll be using the stock kernel, and launcherpro.

How's battery life?
[Vibrant Android Development] TaimeT:
Thanks for the help kolomari. funny ive been using ryanza's oclf app for awhile (this is how i rooted). used it in all the other roms (besides 4.2 which i used the overkill lf), however didn't realize the importance of running it. long story short, im back in the 1800's :)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I don't know what you don't know how to do, but if you don't know how to download a rom, or if you don't know how to unzip the "nameofrom".zip, please don't flash your phone.

Edit: I'm not trying to be rude. I just think I explained it pretty clearly. If you don't understand, you need to do a lot more reading before you attempt messing with your phone.

If you are referring to Obsidian, then it is a froyo build and mostly the same with a few new features such as flash 10.1 for web based flash (such as videos) and a few other nice features. This is based off of leaked files, and therefore still has a few bugs, such as not getting voicemail notifications (work around is using included visual voicemail if you have a data plan), and normal headphones not working 100% correctly if they don't have a built in mic.

I find the battery life to be better when using the stock 2.2 kernel than when I had the stock rom with the stock 2.1 kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] TBDakotaM:
But it runs smoother and quicker than stock, correct? Is the 2.2 kernel included or do I have to include it myself?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
"smoother" and "quicker" are relative terms to the user in my opinion. I personally find them to be much better, but some people still claim they like other roms or even stock better. So, all I am saying is, I can give you my opinion, but how you use your phone is not how I use my phone.

Whiskey roms include the kernel. No need to download it separate. Some people download modified or overclocked kernels, but I find stock gives me enough speed, and is stable, and has a better battery life for me personally.
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
That's a great idea and something that we may want to have included on the guide on this forum since it's a curiously named function for its intended purpose. :)

Should I experience this issue again I will give this a shot first and report back. I anticipate my wife's phone will probably experience it when she lets me upgrade it from V2 so I will be sure to report back. Anyone else experiencing this issue is highly encouraged to do the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] TBDakotaM:
Thank you
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Has anyone had a problem where they let their phone battery is drained and turned off and put on a charger. Overnight it's in clockwork recovery mode and it gives you the option to save the config or not? I'm probably the only one with this problem, but just wondering if anyone just might have had the same issue. I guess I'm going back to stock and reflashing this rom.

btw, I'm on v4.2 Rom. I decided not to go with v5 beta, waiting for the original soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] Vjarndt:
I tried doing this and it did not work that is what I was trying to say.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I'm gonna give you one more shot. Download Obsidian_V42.zip from here.

Then unzip the file you just downloaded. Any windows machine can do this.

Open the folder named system, and then the folder named app.

Scroll down until you see vvm-signed.apk This is the file you asked for.

I just tested this myself for you. It does work, so instead of giving you the file, I'm gonna make you follow the same steps I had to.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
Anyone else with serious 4G issues? I can get on EDGE no problem, soon as it switches to 4G I see my signal strength but I get no usable data connection. Soon as I force it back to EDGE I'm fine. Haven't verified if 3G is the same problem.

Running 4.2, tried stock and lagfix kernels, same problems. This is a post-ODIN install so no real quirks to speak of in that respect.
[Vibrant Android Development] lolcopter:
yeah, big 4G issues here. like, as in, it doesn't exist
[Vibrant Android Development] nonmindo:
its important to understand that while the vibrant can run on the HSPA+ network, it can not operate at 4g speeds, do of course you will not be seeing the 4g speed, it however IS 3G compatible (HSPA)
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Look up the thread a ways and you will find step by step instructions on how to manually pull the modem from another version of Obsidian and then flash it using Odin. That is why you aren't getting correct speeds if I am not mistaken. However, I don't have a data plan, so no promises.
[Vibrant Android Development] Vjarndt:
Alright Ill give it a shot when I get home. I tried to extract it with my phone found the file and it would not install...
[Vibrant Android Development] gringo75:
newbie here i'm trying ro root my vibrant. so i cant put 2.2 on it i followed the steps downloading the file and renaming it to update.zip reboot into recovery it wont install. i know im doing something wrong any ideas my buddy is running your rom and its sweet.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, where it's not a normal user app, but a system app, you will need to put it in the system/app folder in your phone. You can adb push it or use the paid root explorer app to move it into the right place. Then use root explorer to long press it and set the permissions to be the same as the neighboring apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] gringo75:
With the oneclick rooting on vibrant from the market am i able to use the custom 2.2 roms like obsidian or aosphish?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Instructions are a bit dated, but you don't need to change the rom to be called update.zip. Just download the app from the market called oclf. Use that to root the phone. Once you use it to root, you need to reboot into recovery and choose to "re-install packages". Then your phone will reboot and it will be rooted. From there, get rom manager (paid or free) and flash clockworks recovery with that app. You will need to reboot into recovery again and click reinstall packages once or twice to get into clockworks recovery. From there, with the green text menu, choose to install .zip from sd card. Choose the file of the rom, which should be on your root folder, and then choose yes to flash. Let your phone sit for 15 minutes after the flash and then reboot and wait another 5 minutes. From there, use as you please. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Do yourself a favor and don't try flashing again until you spend some time reading up on ODIN, Clockwork/ROM Manager, Titanium Backup (or other backup app) among other things (searching forums). Doing so will prevent lots of headaches for yourself and everyone else.

Radio Trouble

So I flashed the Obsidian V5 and my radio doesn't seem to work. The same thing would happen occasionally with V4 (first version of it before 4.1 or 4.2). I pulled the battery a couple times and rebooted. Any thoughts? Should I reflash?

Edit: I reflashed the ROM and now everything works perfectly. I'll give some updates on this ROM as they come:-)

Love it so far...

So far I'm not having any major issues, but the only thing I've come across is that my headphones don't work when I'm on a call. Basically, I can't hear the person through my headphones. They work fine when listening to music though. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Unfortunately my GPS no longer works since coming from Fusion. Have rebooted 3 times and haven't installed anything yet. Of course the rom feels more laggy than fusion did as well, which most people were saying otherwise. The phone also refuses to enable wifi location. I select it, but it never enables. Doubt that it matters but I have the larger NAND vibrant.

Issue resolved. All i had to do was disable all the wireless radios and enable them. Wireless location option then enabled and loc within 20 seconds.

Thanks for the response! I'll give that a shot and report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
I'm aware of the difference and that the Vibrant is 3.5G and not 4G. I'm not complaining about throughput, I said it plain DOESN'T WORK. I get zero data connectivity with 4G.

I've tried both kernels, both modems. Like I said, no usable data connection on 4G.

I'm going to try v5 beta when I get a chance.
[Vibrant Android Development] bstromberg:
+1 to that. i'm no noob, and i'm not an advanced user either, but i read and follow directions very well. that being said, i have definitely been a whole lot more careless with this phone than with the G1 because of how easy it is to bring this baby back from the brink of destruction. couldn't have done it without all the help of those smarter than me though...thanks guys!
[Vibrant Android Development] lolcopter:
there is no 4g. there is only HSPA+, which the vibrant doesn't have the hardware to support

You need to remember the ULF kernel was removed from V5...
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
I never had this issue... BUT... I remember two people stating entering the number rather then selecting a contact works... And... Having contacts imported to your SIM card... And selection those SIM contacts works as well...
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
This happened to me as well Sunday morning. It reinstalled but my signal compromised but then I saw v5 available so just Odin and v5 and all is fine. I have one of those phones that really needs a lagfix so I did oclf and it is running really well. All I miss is the BLN that was on v4.2 but Im going to try one of the Eugene kernels that has voodoo and bln. You are not alone! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I was just confused as to why it was doing that because it happened to me twice. I just ended up Odin back to stock and re-flashed V4.2 w/ stock kernel instead of the ULF one. Everything seems to be fine like the V4.2 w/ ULF Kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] Carpet161:
This V5 Build is great!
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
Also the signal issue has been a problem for some all they did was flash a different modem I believe they flashed J16 all went well. I just flashed to v5 and never had a signal problem so "not broke no fix". Vibrant and I are in a happy place.
[Vibrant Android Development] tachyon2601:
I am having the same issue. This was happening to me in 4.2 as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] KUKitch:
I second this issue, I'm still on 4.2 however, but with the stock kernel now. Additionally, after I Odin'd back to stock and then to 4.2 with the stock kernel, yesterday battery life was pretty fantastic, even with fairly normal use for me (which typically kills the battery by mid/late afternoon). Today, it's under 50% at 2 p.m. on a day when I'm at work and not really using the phone much at all. Check system panel and what do you know, once again kswapd0 is constantly running. So instead of regular, steady 3% activity throughout the day, I'm seeing fluctuation but mostly at 10% and up when the phone is sleeping. Anybody have any thoughts, I've frozen most of the usual suspects in Ti Backup, so I'm not sure what is causing this constant activity

Team Whiskey Bug Tracking Log. I don't know how current it is.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Thanks for the quick reminder and update. Yea, I read a few pages back that the single was an issue and people have been flashing the JI6 Modem. I've seen some people using v3 modem.bin to fix the signal issue. I also, heard about the lag fix that people used.. they used Eugene's A14 Kernel I think for the BLN, voodoo, etc. I'm just going to stick with v4.2 w/stock kernel for right now because I don't want to deal with the hassle of v5 Beta.
[Vibrant Android Development] frozenfoxx:
Decided to see if it was possible *now* to go from v5 down to v4.2. No dice, same error. On a whim decided to do the repartition idea while I was there. VERY BAD IDEA, DRAGONS.

Phone received a serious soft brick, the dreaded "DB DATA" error where it cannot mount /dev/block/stl10. Was able to get into Clockwork, trying to restore from a Nandroid backup to see if that will fix it. Side note, ODIN said it had no issues during the reflash. Further side note, upon receiving this error it was not possible to re-enter Download mode, only the recovery mode. Fun.

At this time I don't think it's a good idea to recommend a repartition ODIN flash to people experiencing the "Installation Aborted (bad)" issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Anyone can answer this^^^
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
The modem files is the software your phone uses to connect to the cellular towers. You're phone already has the modem code and it isn't necessarily needed when flashing to v5. It's mostly a matter of preference, however you should probably upgrade to JI2 or JI6 if you don't have either. You can check in your phone 'about' settings under "baseband verison".

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] sroach23:
it is a special tin foil hat that keeps the phones radiation from melting your brain while flashing roms. i would recommend installing one, especially for v5.

New Project - "Cyonix Fusion" - Interesting?

Ok, first of all, no promises!

Cyanogen + Bionix = Cyonix

I am at this time experimenting with cramming/modifying/making work somehow as much of Cyanogenmod as as possible on an existing/tested kernel. This would be pretty much in the spirit of the AOSP efforts but with a focus on implementing as much of CM as humanly possible in a stable Rom. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much of it works unmodified but I am prepared to slice and dice a little code.

The plan is to try to do this over the holidays and get an alpha put together. So far the only missing piece is instructions on making a flashable Rom. I have not pursued it just yet, mostly still experimenting.

Of course if the TeamWhiskey guys object or I get flamed to death over the stupidity of the idea, I will keep it to myself. Furthermore, I will not protest if someone wants to do it more, faster and better than I can. I am a long-time dev, but a short-time rom nut (I have had a blast with TW's and Eugene's Stuff).

The goal is an "I can't believe it's not CyanogenMod" response. I am open to thoughts and discussions. Maybe I should create a new thread.

I think I need to get a catchy pseudonym too.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Currently I'm running T959UVJK2, not sure if this is good or not.

not really important just curiouse
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I seem to recall sombo saying he'd tested both the JI2 and JI6 modems on 2.2 and found that they work as they should. So then, I would expect you're fine to flash either.

JI2 is generally considered better for battery life while JI6 tends to grab a stronger signal at the cost of battery life.
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
The OP I replied to though wasn't clear whether they were talking about the JI2 / JI6 kernels / modems. No distinction made.
