To everyone having signal issues when flashing...

Here are the steps I used to flash the JK2 modem:

1. Download Obsidian V3.

2. Unzip the file into a random place on your computer.

3. Download Odin if you don't already have it. (I used Odin 3)

4. Open Odin first, and get your phone into download mode however your phone can. (apparently it varies per phone and is trickier on others).

5. Once the COM port shows up in Odin, you are ready to begin.

6. Click on PHONE and navigate to the folder you unzipped V3 into. There is a folder inside there called "updates". Go into that folder and there is file called "modem.bin". Select it.

7. Now that the dialog is gone and you see all of Odin again, check your settings to make sure you don't mess up your phone.

Settings:

Re-Partiton: Not checked

Auto Reboot: Checked

F. Reset Time: Checked

Dump: Not checked

Dump En.: Not Checked

8. Once you have verified the settings and are satisfied to continue, simply press Start and Odin will flash over the JK2 modem for you and restart your phone when finished.

I tried to update to v5 but the installation failed. Do i need a new update.zip?

Clockwork Recovery

just flashed V5 beta, unable to boot into clockwork recovery to enable the lagfix... anyone else having this issue. when I click on reboot into recovery, it takes me to the native recovery rather than the clockwork recovery...despite having flashed clockwork. :mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
What are you flashing from?

I have a question for myself. Once I got V5 working flawlessly with the JK2 modem, I decided to try out Kernel A14 from Eugene's repository of stuff. This kernel is amazing, but the only thing about it so far that I see is, when I have BLN on, after it has been asleep for a while, it locks my phone up as soon as a notification comes along. I have to do a soft-reset every time (holding the volume up key and the power key til everything goes blank or you see the Vibrant screen). Could somebody test that out also so that I know if it's just my phone or if it's a bug? Oh yea! I also have the a=e4 lagfix in use currently.
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Try selecting reinstall packages. If that doesn't work, then download rom manager from the market and reinstall clockwork from rom manager and you should be set.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
If my SD card partition gets wiped, does that mean all my backups get wiped too, or can i restore any older ROMs i have backed up? Also, does v4.2 need the sd mount fix update?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
From what I've understood from other people having their SD Card wiped, it essentially formats your sd card and you lose all of your data that was on it (pictures, movies, documents) The backups you had I'm not sure if they would still be there...
[Vibrant Android Development] wingman25:
reinstalled packages worked... thanks!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Hmm, because i'm running that AOSP ish 2.2 rom and it's pretty good except a few kinks and not too fast, so i was going to flash v4.2 of obsidian but besides the fact i don't want to have my sd card wiped i can't even MOUNT my phone to my computer!!
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
Do you not have a microSD to SD converter thingy that you can plug into your computer and back up that way? If not, go here and fix your mounting issue so you can backup everything.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I woke up and checked my phone this morning, and on v5, the phone seems to be doing what it should when asleep. CPU usage stayed under 1% all night. Again, I got lucky and didn't have to flash the modem separate.

[Vibrant Android Development] BamaQ:
I've been having the same issue except that I could receive, but not send. I was able to send a MMS by entering the number and not selecting the contact as suggested above.

Has there been a fix for this yet? If so could you repost the link because I didn't see it. Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
I tried the 2.2 stock fix because i think that's what i should use since i'm running that AOSP ish JK2 1.1 froyo ROM that's also on the development page, but that gave me some weird drive K that didn't have any of my files in it, when i usually have a drive M...?
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
Is it possible to use more than 304 mb ram?
[Vibrant Android Development] rascal00:
I seem to be having a serious issue. I disabled Voodoo, flashed V5 and it got stuck at the Vibrant screen. I can't get in to download mode because at the battery charging screen it just sits there with the rotating timer frozen. If I try to adb shell it says "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory (2) -." Also, I can get in to the stock recovery but if I try to reinstall the packages for clockwork when it reboots it just goes back to stock recovery. Any ideas?

Managed to get in to download mode. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
any tips ^^^^^
[Vibrant Android Development] rbirg:
use adb to get into dl mode, i think it's "adb reboot download"

WIFI Calling and msg is not working for me. Currently using V5 beta.. any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
I think I figured out my issue. This is the perfect setup for my phone btw. My phone has never actually run the OCUV kernels before and I just disabled the feature using Voltage Control and the rom feels much smoother now.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Can you flash any kernel with v4.2 obsidian?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
AFAIK you can flash any

2.2

kernel with 4.2
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
downloaded the WiFi-Calling.apk and said the following after trying to install:

says application not installed
[Vibrant Android Development] jdub316:
Same thing happened to me when I was flashing V4.2 on top of V4.2 ULF, even after I disabled Voodoo. The screen hangs at the blank charging state. How I got into download mode is:

1. Shut down phone, take out battery

2. With the battery out, hold both of the volume buttons ONLY

3. Insert microUSB to phone without connecting to the computer

4. insert battery while holding the volume keys (don't touch the on/off button)

5. Insert the USB to your computer, then you should be in DL mode

Followed this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqxearzXrVY

Hope this helps!

tested beta5

so sad for the lower profile of the 3D.. I hope it raise again

I've tested V5.. so before flashing I had 4.2 stock.. no kernel mod.. and the applying of the ROM with Rom Manager.. got wrong.

at the half of the copying.. after the format of system and data.. it stops.

So I reflash froyo vibrant unofficial.. with odin.. applied finally beta v5.. and OK the system is ready.

2 things: wonderful because now 4 applets are in DATA .. and I can remove simply with the application remove procedure..

second, the system is stable... and at the moment.. it seems that is perfect.. but I never tested all the applets..

so sad for the fact of the wiping.. because I had to setup again all my personal settings.. but.. I'm asking you.. apart of titanium.. is there a way .. to apply the personal settins.. after a factory reset without spending a lot of time?

thanks

Lagfix with V5 Beta

Has anyone successfully enabled the native lagfix? or any other with V5 beta? No additional options in clockwork recovery, and manually enabling it didn't work. Got a file / folder not found on the first step using ADB. Further one click doesn't work, after installing ext2 tools, says that it appears I already have another lagfix installed, says something about playlogos1 less than 5kb... which doesn't mean anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
ditto.

and also my pc no longer see my phone when in download mode. I have installed drivers etc... never had this issues prior.. Could always odin my phone

where is this kernel posted?

Thanks,

[Vibrant Android Development] binarybishop:
Kinda off subject, but just seen the tags for this post (at the bottom)...and I must say OMG, really? You should add one for Chuck Norris to even out the balance:)

JK

But yes, I would like to know where you found the working OC/UV/ULF kernel. Or did you just flash on top of the existing OC/UV/ULF kernel from Obsidian V4.2?

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] kolomari:
I just downloaded the ji6 modem from the tw site and installed it from clock work. Dgsmith posted some instructions on post 4466 on how to get the jk2 modem if you would rather use that. JI6 has been working fine though with the exception of needing one reboot due to no signal. My battery was low though so it may not be the modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
dumb question, what exactly is Data Networking Mode? It's in the notifications bar with wifi, bluetooth, etc...

And once you're done installing the .zip file for the ROM can you delete it?
[Vibrant Android Development] jir591:
where did you find wifi calling update.zip ?
[Vibrant Android Development] ugokind:
confirm V5 doesn't have the 3e menu in recovery mode.. no way to manage options and tweaks
[Vibrant Android Development] Zeno78:
ditto.

I could only find the WiFi apk which didn't work for me

Maybe we should teach better.

"Your" is something or an object that belongs to you .

Example 1

Your phone is sick.

"You're" is a combination of you and are

Example 2

You're an idiot

Fixing MMS error

I was able to fix the problem of sending mms messages. Using the Sim contact only. When I try with the phone contacts, message was not sent. Please try this way and let me know. I am using Obsidian V4.2 stock and Eugene A12 Kernel and OCLF.
[Vibrant Android Development] rel500:
ok so im on Obsidian V2 and i have stayed with it due to the newer Roms dont have the Touchwiz Launcher that V2 has... i downloaded V5beta and i took the TW30Launcher from V2 and pushed onto V5 BUT once I do that I lose my Text, Phone and Dialer apps... has anyone had this problem or am i the only weirdo that likes the rotatable TouchWizLauncher??
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
I didn't like it. Rotatable launcher is just a hassle, it will accidentally rotate as you use the phone, plus there's more than enough home screen for the Apps, if not there's the drawer which is already pretty conveniently place/easily accessible.

Rotate Animation = extra battery drain with no noticeable benefit.

[Vibrant Android Development] ransz28:
I downloaded V5 beta, but in the phone Build Number it shows Obsidian v4.2.

Ok so how could this be?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
cause its a beta,someone posted a buildprop a few pages back to make it say v5

[Vibrant Android Development] TheAdictsPunk:
If you "lose" your apps it is because they are "transparent " go to your apps menu and press menu, go to customizable grid then settings again then to edit. They should be in the bottom for apps. Replace then with FOUr apps	you don't want

What is the best combination of Kernel and settings for battery life? If its stock kernel obviously there need not be any settings.

i've been so used to flashing constantly, that i didn't even bother reading up on the rom before flashing. the modem issue on this is kind of a ball buster. had to odin from 4.2 to get to this beta. quadrant benchmarked this bad boy after flashing and got in the mid 900's.... going from the 1800's on 4.2. WHAT THE EFFFFF
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Quadrant is unreliable!!!! Use it for awhile and if it feels slower than your complaints are well founded, just give it a chance, find some bugs, and help it become better.

Anyways, does anyone know if you can DELETE the .zip file of the ROM after you've installed it????
[Vibrant Android Development] LoveistheGroove:
Why is all of this childish angst necessary? If you don't like each other's work, don't talk to each other. I have used both Bionix and Eugene's ROM's and while they're both incredibly better than stock, I continue to return to Bionix ROM's. I donated $20 to Eugene for his work - so appreciative that someone would take the time to make over 23,000 people's phones better and better - and not a single thank you. Not a response. Every time I've EVER asked a question on any of Eugene's forums, I either get smacked down or ignored. Team Whiskey it is.

It's clear from the language and behavior that I am doing the right thing by supporting Team Whiskey. Their ROM's always feel faster, more stable, and less "thrown together" with pieces of this and that. Obsidian v5 is incredible and it not only looks, but feels and behaves like I knew my Vibrant should.

As much as I love Eugene's work, I can no longer be a fan, and it's because of his doing, not mine. His posts are rude, he doesn't respond (unless it's important to him), and he clearly doesn't really appreciate the donations.

Team Whiskey - I don't have much money to throw around but my donations will go to you from now on. It's obvious you not only care about your work, but you care about the people involved too. I can't say that for the other party. Eugene, you can reply and talk smack all you want, but even IF your ROM's were better, your behaviors and lack of communication make me never want to support your work. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Enough said.

:mad:
[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
I do not know what you are smoking but reading the notes about the download in the first post shows you are a veteran of flashing and as for Quadrant speed here is a screen shot of V5 beta on my device so I do not know what to tell you but try again........ I had to Odin as well but all is good now.

My Quad speeds are between 1800 and 1955.....reliable or not it was 800 to 900 before the lagfix.

cheers

funny you ask... haha

but yeah in the last month ive gone from thinking that oprah would die of a cocaine overdose before i saw froyo, to actually being able to read these fourms and understand whats going on. i've held back the past month from posting a rookie question, however, you have to start some time

for this particular rom, i'd just like some advice to make sure its done how a senior member on xda (haha) would do it. if i were to flash back with odin, flash the v5 zip, along with the j16 modem from tw, would i go back to having a quick phone? i'm looking for some details
[Vibrant Android Development] kolomari:
There is a thing called a lagfix which also really helps speed up your phone. Putting the rom on it will help a lot but combined with a lagfix you will really see a difference. The easiest lagfix to get started with is part of an app called oclf on the market. It is called the one click or ryanza lagfix on the forums. Download it, install ext2 tools and click on restore boot animation. I got a writers error about a broken pipe on my phone the first time but it worked the second time. Then click on install lagfix 2.2+, reboot after it finishes and enjoy. You don't have to do anything special when you install a new rom which is really nice.
[Vibrant Android Development] Tpavey:
I was about to install 4.2 then saw this, so I'm going to wait for the non-beta version. Anyway, the virtual memory process is killing my phone very fast on 3.2. I can literally watch the percent tick off when I am using it. Standby us awesome though. Have things improved with that kswapd0 process? I'm trying to decide if I should ho back to Fusion.

Yes, once you've flashed it, you don't need it anymore unless you need to reflash it again for some reason.

awh. okay. just gonna stick to 4.2 for now then with ULF. i havent had much issues at all with it. the only thing that happened is that it went into recovery and started doing things by itself once when i changed the batteries. but without changing batteries it seems to be doing fine. if it happens again im def. gonna go to v.5

Installation Aborted

Still getting Installation Aborted (bad) when attempting to flash this. AOSPish 1.1 flashes fine, the "stock" roms for both JI6 and JFD flash fine, Obsidian V1 and V2 flash fine, Fusion and Bionix flash fine.

File is always placed in the internal SD's root. File is never renamed. Upon flashing to clockwork I tell it Install Zip from SD Card, Choose Zip, and select the current Obsidian. Almost immediately upon trying to open the package it complains about it being (bad) and thus the Installation Aborted.

I've searched through this forum and multiple threads. I've posted about this earlier to no avail. I've applied a number of SD fixes (no avail), left the phone to its own devices for a good 15 minutes after every modification following a reboot. I've used ODIN to flash back to stock including a complete and total wipe of the phone I don't even know *how* many times, resulting in several soft bricks (about three soft bricks, more than ten flashes). Using ODIN I've flashed the JI6 as well as the JFD stock images located in this forum.

I've gone through not being able to get into download mode to not being able to get into recovery mode to not being able to get Clockwork to come up to flashing and getting it stuck on the Samsung logo. I've reliably had no issue in returning the phone to stock no matter WHAT I throw at it, I can always make my phone functional again. Again, I can flash *some* roms without issue, such as those listed above.

After extensive research through this forum and many of its threads I see this is *not* an uncommon issue with no clear fixes listed, just a lot of people with the same experience. The advice "just odin back to stock" clearly as demonstrated above does *not* work unless there is some crazy insane fashion of flashing I have not read of or used before (of which I'd be happy to be wrong about).

What's changed in the rom packages between v2 and v3+? Is BusyBox not being looked for in the same location (xbin)? Is there a fundamental layout difference? What's the exact process used to flash these later-generation roms and how do they differ from things like the stock images and the aospish images? From their own earlier images?

The forum rules say I can't post a new thread with a question so I figured this post would be most appropriate to try and gain assistance. Any advice, thoughts, or otherwise would be appreciated not just for myself but for anyone else searching these forums for a solution to the same problem. Thank you.
