thanks for the good responses guys but both of those have failed. Odin cant even see my phone, same issue with superoneclick root. I even just tried on an enitrely different PC and got the same "device could not start" message.

tried deleting all the drivers for the USB devices. nada. still no connection :(
[Captivate General] Dani897:
kies or mass storage?

for kies debugging in settings>aplications must be disabled. i dont remember what works better ask on connection or to have connection type preset in settings>applications>usbsettings. im on froyo which works a million times better, kies on jf6 was like a 90% fail rate. it just didn't work for me.

for mass storage you need to mount the phone from a message in the notification bar, even if it asks the connection type and you tick mass storage it will not be mounted, you still need to mount from the notification bar.

you can also mount the sdcards from the notification bar in debugging mode which bypasses the connection type setting in settings>applications>usbsettings.

i tend to leave debugging on in case i need adb to fix my phone, i only turn it off to use kies which is useful to fix my contacts when i have multiples (it's alot easier to fix 200+ contacts on a computer screen using a mouse and keyboard), or install an update if i choose to run the phone stock.
[Captivate General] Subrock:
tried in every combination of modes, cant get it connect any possible way. I also dont get the option to mount it from the notification bar so perhaps I have a hardware issue.

Are you using the stock usb cable? I've had problems with some but not all generic cables.
[Captivate General] superdave69:
may not be what you want to hear

I actually had a similar problem, though not the same. My phone charges and I can use mass storage without issue, but I could not get Odin One Click updaters to ever "see" my phone. I tried every USB port on my box, tried several different driver sets (including the ones DG recommends). Eventually, I tried on a different computer. Odin saw it fine, updated no problems, first time out of the gate.

I know, I know, not everyone has access to two computers, and furthermore there "should" be no reason it can't work on a particular one, but for me, short of formatting my PC and reinstalling OS, I tried everything else I could think of.

Good luck, either way!

[Captivate General] Volvogga:
I don't think there should be a logical reason as to why this would ever work, but Windows (and computers in general sometimes) has a tendency to surprise me like that... but what if you try removing the drivers by whatever automatic means you are provided with, and then check and remove them manually (if necessary), and finally run CCleaner or some other program with registry cleaning capabilities to give your PC that last little enema.

Then use DG's drivers and install them in whatever way he recommends (been a while since I installed the drivers). That's really all I can think of on the PC side... maybe putting a cheap little USB hub between your phone and your PC if you have one laying around as another mostly futile attempt.

Fair warning, it is possible for CCleaner to mess up your PC... any program that messes with the registry can potentially do so. I've never seen the program cause harm, but it is possible.
[Captivate General] turbomonkey80:
I've had the same problem with my Crappy from day one. I still somehow got SuperOneClick to Root my phone through multiple attempts. But if all you need to do is transfer files from your phone to PC, and vice versa. I would recommend Android Sync Manager. It can read most of the file systems in the phone, and transfers at a decent speed.
[Captivate General] bravomail:
same here

One of my PCs recognizes Cappy with the same cable, OS, drivers. Other one doesn't.

So I ended up using "ADB Wireless" from Market. It works pretty good, slower than USB, but works.

Also - if you are willing to make your PC work - try fresh reinstall of Windows 7SP1 and disable driver update from Internet.
[Captivate General] Jayc313:
Since your just trying to put music and pictures on the phone, try Kies Air from the market. Install it on your phone then you can transfer files wirelessly with the browser from your computer.
[Captivate General] ajizle123:
USB Cable

Definitely check the USB cable. I had this exact issue before. I checked drivers, did a bunch of un-installing and manual installing of drivers. Finally I tried my stock USB cable and all worked perfectly!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgclifton:
Just a quick one - going to do a factory reset as I've installed Froyo and I think it would help a few small problems I've had - will the data on the internal SD get wiped with his?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
Not sure about going through menu or three button menu but using #*272* definitely wiped mine. Sadly my SMS backups were on there as well as pictures I wanted to keep.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenophof:
Hey guys,

My Hero says the headphones are connected but they aren't connected!? This is very annoying when I want to call someone, then I have to use the headphones because otherwise I can't listen what the persons I'm calling to says. So the speakers are disabled (can still play music through headphones).

I also see the headphones icon in the Android bar.

I tried another ROM but it's giving the same problem (Android 2.1 stock, 2.2 Floyo, FV 1.5, etc.)

How can I solve this? :eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
As far as i know this is not a rom specific problem, more of a software thing. It happens if you restart your phone too much (its how i get it). Three ways to solve problem

1. turn off your phone and wait at least 2 minutes before turning back on and it shud be gone

2. download toggleheadset.apk and it will no longer matter how much you restart your phone since u can toggle the icon off/on

3. least practical on long term and takes a while but works, poke a headphone in and move around until icon disappears

I get this problem all the time, and it seems like a lot of other hero users get it as well, i solved it using toggleheadset
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenophof:
Thanks for your message. I tried all these methods but they don't work :(

When I install Headset Blocker, I can still see the icon in the black HTC Android bar. The other two methods also don't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenophof:
Haha! Yeah, it works!

I installed toggleheadset.apk but I didn't notice it's a widget and not an app.

So now it works and I can use my speakers again.

Thank you very much! :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhuny:
Flashed eugene's froyo rom just now, but have problem copying file into phone memory.

Back in 2.1 when you mount sd, it pop's up two removable hard drivers, one for phone memory(13gb) and other for the sd card (1.86GB), but after froyo phone memory become a virtual cd rom which Im not able to paste any thing into it.

What can I do to turn it back to a removable hard driver again?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidbutt:
im having the same problem :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhuny:
Update.

Just flashed Obsidian 2.2 rom, everything seem to be fine, removable hard driver is back.

ROM bug I guess?
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Hey guys someone posted a video of sense running on the galaxy S. Looks good.... a few bugs. But it does look sloooow!

But its a good sign of what's to come. :)

Video was posted in the Desire Hd forum.
[Fascinate General] suppliesidejesus:
Yeah, a bloated and slow UI bogging down my fast phone.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
**** sense! That's why I bought a samsung device.

This should be in XDA general/general thread.

good day.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
No i wouldnt use Sense either....if it was slow. Alot of people LOVE sense. I love the useability and friendlyness!!!

Chopper I know you hate sense. But I need eye candy man!

There are about 15 good devs working on getting The NEW sense UI on to ALL Galaxy S phones.

Its a Good option. Isnt that what Android is about? Options???

BTW were on the same team!!! Team Android!!!

Android = More Freedom + Choice + OPEN MINDS

Apple = Well .... nothing but Apple!!

And you gotta admit Sense has the best widgets!!!
[Fascinate General] BAleR:
If your phone was soooo fast, then it wouldnt get bogged.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
even the fastest phone will slow down if the UI is bloated.
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
So it looks like they both have working 2.2 builds out in the wild now. My question is which one is better, or which one are YOU going to use? Let's try and keep the comparison here, that way we don't clog up both of these wonderful dev's threads.
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
I have never used either since I'm still stock. What was the general consensus before their new 2.2 builds?
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
I wouldn't know. They both have a huge following though. What I have noticed is that each one has very loyal followers. It almost seems as if its "either one or the other". But since it is now 2.2, it is a completely different ball game.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
I thinks it's really your preference no two vibrants are the same so whatever works best for your phone and for you is what matters try them both try them all you'll figure out what's best for you I'm running bionix final with jacs oc/uv kernel but I've tried the froyo roms they are cool but for me this works best have fun and for the love of god stay drunk

Times never wasted when your getting waisted
[Vibrant General] jzero88:
lol +1

I love you man. nohomo :)
[Vibrant General] argie:
Fair question, but somewhat irrelevant in my opinion. My experience with stock vs cooked ROMs (MT3G CM6) is that the only real advantage is better speed. Sure, a few different user-experience changes, but that's all. An the stock ROMs are far more stable.

My stock Vibrant is already plenty fast. I'm rooted and can use root-only apps. My Dolphin browser already displays Flash. JIT will make it technically faster, but will I actually notice..? What would Eugene or TeamWhiskey add to that...?
[Vibrant General] jonwilly:
Have not tried either but am running fusion by team wiskey with there kernel. Phone runs to good to worry about 2.2.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
What flash are you running on stock?

Times never wasted when your getting waisted
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
I like this post cause so many people wanna be on 2.2 for a lot of

Reasons but I only want the flash player lol

Times never wasted when your getting waisted
[Vibrant General] snorge:
Team whiskey roms are far too buggy to rely on
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
This statement is very inaccurate. When was the last time you installed a bionix rom?

I'm running the 2.2 and it is flawless. 2.2 offers a lot of improvements over 2.1 besides flash. If you don't know what those are then you really shouldn't be giving uninformed information.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Which one looks like stock? Both? I really despise the all black theme I see on the 2.1 Bionix roms. It just looks tacky in some places like the notifications pull down and it's too black. I see Macnut looks kind of like stock.. no screenshots included with either tho. Either way I've downloaded Macnut and I will be installing it ASAP. I'll try the other 2.2 rom next..
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
2.2 is A VERY BIG update. I dont know about Vibrant, but it should improve battery, it should run faster due to JIT, it has MANY extra features, and its compatible with 2.2 apps (new Gmail, Chrome-to-phone, youtube, flash...etc). move to 2.3 is not that big

that said, i trust TW more then Eugene.
[Vibrant General] ackattacker:
Personally I think it's too soon to be worried about which one is better for general use. I'd give it a little time for each to get some additional polish unless you just enjoy flashing roms all the time every time a new one comes out. Chances are there'll be bug-fixes and tweaks to both in the next few days. Wait for that and more feedback from the early adopters and then decide...
[Vibrant General] MasterColdSoul:
When I got my phone used it had Eugenes rom on it, but I felt Bionix and team Whiskeys roms have been the best roms besides CM.

Put it this way I have only donated to 2 developers, #1 CM and #2 Team Whiskey.
[Vibrant General] bullale:
It isn't flawless. Calendar doesn't sync. Holding back results in a FC (new screenshot feature not implemented properly). I've had inconsistency in the market. Don't get me wrong, I'm using it and I like it, but don't throw the word 'flawless' around so easily.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
If you remove screencapture.apk that fixes the back button long press fc and you need to install calendar(something).apk to fix sync issues..
[Vibrant General] kuhan:
It all comes down to personal preference. My experience with Eugene's 2.1 ROMs are that they're TOO skinned. I personally prefer Team Whiskey.

To answer your question about which looks more stock, Team Whiskey hasn't really skinned the Obsidian ROM all that much, so it basically looks like Stock TouchWiz.
[Vibrant General] kolyan:
there is a fix already for both
[Vibrant General] Only Loki:
I was using Macnut R7 and was about to flash R9 but Team Whiskeys downloaded faster. The major difference between R9 and 7 is, wi fi calling, modem and working gps with some minor tweeks.

If that is true then my comparison won't be too far off.

The biggest difference between the too is that Team W is a near perfect leak of the official 2.2 rom and Eugene's has some mods like built lag fix and a modified version of T.W. which for the most part is better than stock (not perfect but better; in my opinion)

That should really be what makes you choose which one you want.

Secondary things to think about is that, whiskey roms are known for getting official ota's which is nice if you want to get the official with little work, but its still kinda glitchy and slower than Eugenes, but not in a bad way. If you are running stock without a lag fix then you won't notice much. Eugene's rom is highly modded and some stock things won't work like if you still have avatar on your sdcard, and since his is a port there are some remnants of I9000 and cappy things floating around that can throw you off. But it is less glitchy atm and too me looks better. It has a lightly themed Modified TW. But you can get and install that yourself if you want there is a link in the macnut thread.

Hope that helps. I'm Running tw's rom now but I'm going to check out R9.
[Vibrant General] vapotrini:
I don't really think you can go wrong with either. However, with that said... I would wait a few days if I were you. Let them completely work out all of the kinks/bugs then choose one. If not, get ready to flash a few times within the next few days as they will undoubtedly be uploading upgrades to their respective roms. As I'm sure there are bugs that they haven't even discovered as yet...

By next week this time, both should be pretty close to 100% bug free.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
I have problem with Eugene's ROM so I go with TeamWhiskey.
[Vibrant General] gunks:
I prefer Team Whiskey, they do a great job. Not knocking down Eugene, I've just become attached to Sombionix and the Teams work.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
+1

I'm going to wait a few days for bugs to get ironed out.
[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
Can't get a lagfix on teamwhiskey's build however it is the VIBRANT build whereas Eugene's is the i9000 build, or well, captivate build now?
[Vibrant General] nermie:
Either way, you can't lose.
[Vibrant General] Segnaro:
I think the opposite. Eugene's roms are closer to the stock look, while Bionix roms usually have a tacky theme. But I usually modify the look anyway, so it doesn't matter to me. :D
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
I've never used Eugenes roms, every rom I've flashed has been a Bionix/Whiskey. No specific reason. Everything up until now has been great, but to the person saying the Whiskey Froyo release is flawless, you are mistaken. Flawless means without flaws(aka bugs, issues etc..).This has been the buggiest rom I've flashed yet, though up there with the smoothest.. weird. I expected it to be buggy though, and I know those guys will fix the issues.

I may try out Eugenes tonight if another RC hasn't been released by TW tonite. Either that or go back to fusion.
[Vibrant General] lorendroll:
How is the battery life? It's a weak point of Vibrant, so it's matter. I've read battery drain is rather high on Eugen's ROM. Now I'm gonna try TeamWhiskeys ROM.
[Vibrant General] trevreds:
I am running Bionix Core 1.2 ghz and it is super stable. Not a single bug for me. I am looking at their new Froyo Rom but will wait a few days to see if the bugs are sorted out.
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
I think eugene has more experience with 2.2 than tw. so I gave R9 a try and it's been great since then.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
For me, it's going to be TW 2.2. Not happy with Eugene's FroYo rom, it would have been nice to know that it might wipe the SD card and to not put contridictary information in your notes (delete cache from SD Card so Media Scanner is quicker; why would I think my SD card might be wiped?). Never again, even if this isn't only isolated to his ROM.
[Vibrant General] lralexl:
This is false.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
The sdcard wipe is a sporadic issue.. It happens on the first flash of 2.2 bionix rom would have done the same..

Eugene has more experience period.. He is the samsung guy.. its not hard to make a rom when you have a rom sitting right in front of you.. Eugene started his froyo a while back and had been testing and modifying kernels to go with it.. neither rom should have problems though... The bionix rom is a "right-click" rom and eugenes has been tested for weeks..
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Yup he pretty much took something from nothing and made it work great on vibrant

were TW pretty much got 100% working official leak 2.2 thrown in front of them and tweaked off of that.

not saying they are bad at all just saying Eugene IMO has more experience
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
100% Agreed. I think Bionix/Whiskey ROMs have become seen as more "stable" because they have simply been rehashing 2.1 over and over again, which is a good strategy for stability. Meanwhile Eugene has been on the forefront of 2.2 development and his 2.1 ROM is a bit dated. So if you wanted 2.1, Bionix/Whiskey et al were a bit more active.

But as far as 2.2, Eugene has been working with this a bit longer. Plus he has been an active modder/dev since BEFORE the Vibrant, he used to work actively on G1/MT3G Roms if I remember correctly, over a year ago.

As far as the wiping SD issue - that is NOT a Eugene problem. It could have happened with ANY first flash of the GT-i9000 Roms. When people first tried those ROMs, they BRICKED PHONES. It was Eugene that figured out how to prevent the brick. And when Eugene bricked his OWN phone, it wasn't done following a list of instructions someone else posted in a forum. He was figuring out NEW THINGS, such as how to solve the data problem that plagued Froyo ROMs that a lot of users thought he was ignoring. That's not copy/past building.

And they're all drunks, it seems. So..... I'm sticking with Eugene for now.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
Yea i guess i got lucky my SD files were all still there this time... BUT the first time i flashed a 2.2 rom i lost everything on my internal SD so i guess its hit or miss...IDK

Just to be safe either way i backed up on my PC just in case
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Its too early to tell. TW version has a few quirks, Eugene's currently has some real issues. Give it a few days for a "final" and then the comparisons will be valid.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Exactly. The radio dropped out on me twice, GPS never locked on, and some other things I'm spacing out on at the moment. TW isn't perfect but it has no major huge bugs like I had for the 30 minutes I flashed Macnut.

uh my point is still missed. It should be noted that my SD card might be wiped for whatever reason, I'm pissed off.
[Vibrant General] adm1jtg:
My two cents. I have a lot of respect for both groups. I am currently running TW version but will be flashing a eugene kernel over it once things settle some.

Why did I pick the TW you may ask. For me it is simple. TW is a base of just samsung files for the vibrant. Flawed or not they are all kinda matched. Both roms are WIP and will be for some time but as more devs pick up on the roms they will likely use the vibrant base. That said Eugene has a HUGE HUGE advantage in the kernel department as he has been working with them for months.

So for me the TW base and work with eugenes custom roms till someone else starts modding kernels for 2.2
[Vibrant General] lralexl:
TW = Team Whiskey... not Touch-Wiz
[Vibrant General] adm1jtg:
LOL well in this case the Team Whiskey rom is mostly unmodded touch-wiz thus the reason it makes a good base. All the key base files are all from one vibrant build. Yes they had modded and tweaked but it is essentially all one touch-wiz source..

Eugene was forced to take a different approach as he did not have a unified source to work from until today. His is a mix of AT&T and I9000 files with some vibrant mixed in I believe.

It is amazing what Eugene was able to accomplish. I am keeping a VERY close eye on both dev's and expect to see master jump in soon as well.
[Vibrant General] aczarney:
Team Whiskey Roms are great. That being said, I'd stick with Bionix Final or Bionix Fusion until an official 2.2 comes out for the Vibrant. There are lots of little things (like random force closes in various apps, for example) which more than likely aren't related to the roms at all that make the novelties of JIT and flash less worth it.
[Vibrant General] :
Eugene and TW are BOTH great. like everything else in the world this is relative. relative to personal preference. i think the poster that made the point of Eugene having more experience with the 2.2 version might have a valid argument. but, on the other hand, TW is the poop when it comes to perfecting software. so.... maybe Eugene and TW can get on the same team. Eugene can swap the knowledge he's gained with TW and they can all get caught up for faster progress. after all... open source IS the name of the game. right boys?
[Vibrant General] FreydNot:
For me it comes down to Wifi calling in R9 vs the use of the full T-mobile leak in Obsidian V1. I'm going to start with R9 and if I can't handle it as my DD, then I try out Obsidian V1.

Edit: I just noticed R10 is out. It looks like more general bug fixed. I imagine with the full leaked release in Eugenes hands to work from, it can only get better as more updates come out.

Edit: I see that Wifi calling is also listed for Obsidian V1. Not sure how I missed that. Eugene says R11 is right around the corner, so maybe I'll try our Obsidian V1 first and then R11 when it drops.
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
According to the XDA homepage, the Macnut thread is more popular today than the Obsidian thread.
