Count Me In!

Put me on the list of adventurers.. :D

@whoareyou Before you port the Desire Z rom, You should attempt the HD first.. Mostly cause theyre the same frameworks and the RAM i.e. MSM Snapdragon Codecs and Voltages are all the same and it sits just about the same if not more on the Touch. ;)

Really, take a look @ this and if you want a Exclusive tester for the building process I can be of great service. :rolleyes:

Just A Thought. :cool:
[myTouch 4G General] brian6685:
I would test for sure! As soon as I get that damn ota update so I can permaroot my phone! :)
[myTouch 4G General] Mmarzex:
Count me in to test anything and everything I can.
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
also very interested but wouldnt the hd port be a better one considering our phones are more closely associated with that one?

I'd be down to test this out as well; would love to see a quality alternative ROM on this beast.

I agree though, the HD would be a better candidate than the Z.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kienz:
In the same boat myself. But I'm going on vacation this weekend, and I'd be, essentially, phoneless for a few days. I tried out the tab at the store, and was a bit underwhelmed. But, that may have had to do with the fact that they didn't have it set up properly; so I couldn't access any data-needed applications.

THANK YOU! I was really stupid - I didn't listen to everyone's gripes about the G2 and returned my MT4G in favor of the G2... Needless to say, the hinge problem is my complaint too, so I'm getting the MT4G back tomorrow (same one) - BUT - before I handed it in I formatted the MicroSD card.

I had a copy of it stored on my hard drive here until late last night - I should never have gotten rid of it!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
EDIT : I am now offering a $100 reward via PayPal to anyone that can offer me a solution to this problem. If you do not have a PayPal account, I will mail you a check for $100. Those are my only methods for payment. I am 100% serious about this by the way. From what I'm told, Nandroid backups are stored on the internal SD card, so even once the replacement phone arrives, I could not restore the nandroid backups on the (currently) broken phone over to the new one. I absolutely HAVE to get to those backups, and it is well worth $100 to me. NOTE : to be eligible for the reward, you MUST read the entire thread. I have already exhausted many common solutions to problems like this one, and am getting tired of getting offered the same advice over and over. If you fail to read the thread and offer me a solution that I have already attempted, I will not give you the $100 reward, even if you later are the one that comes up with the solution to my problem.

Please delete my other threads, I can't edit the title on them and they are outdated now.

This is my situation in a nutshell.

Downloaded Obsidian v2, wiped and flashed it. (this is my girlfriend's phone) - she did not like 2.2, so I wiped data/cache and attempted to restore the nandroid backup I had made. After hanging on 'restoring data' for 30 minutes I rebooted the phone, and now I'm here. The phone boots to the Vibrant logo only, I can get absolutely no other logos to show up no matter what I do. I realize now that I needed to flash a 2.1 kernel prior to restoring the Nandroid backup, but on my Droid, when I restore a nandroid backup that includes the kernel, so I did not know this step was necessary.

I have downloaded Odin but I have NEVER used it, so I am completely lost there as well. As far as I know, I simply need to download Odin, and then follow one of the many methods to access download mode. I have tried about 15 different methods of holding the buttons on the phone, plugging in the USB cable at the right time, etc. etc. etc. None of the methods work. The phone boots up to the Vibrant logo each and every time, no matter what. I downloaded and installed the Kies software so the drivers should be installed.

What do I do now? The phone is not hardware locked because I've used the buttons to access recovery many times. Is there a step I'm missing when it comes to Odin or do I just download it and open it? PLEASE give me instructions as if I am a child, because obviously whatever I'm doing is not working. PLEASE no vague instructions. I do not know how to use adb, odin, or basically how to do anything at all with this phone. I am a Droid user, and after I get her phone back to the way it was I will never attempt to hack it again. Thank you.

edit : also, yes I have pulled the SD card/SIM card.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I'm ready to give up on this.. is it possible to return this phone to T Mobile for a replacement, and if so, will her nandroid backups and titanium backup info be stored on her SD card? Then I could just root her new phone and restore the nandroid backup and be done with it. I promise, once I find some kind of solution, I am never hacking a Vibrant again. Far too complicated to hack non-stock google phones.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
use Odin 1.3 or maybe higher

I'm at work but do a search for odin 1.3 which worked for me. There is a thread that had all the files you need to get the phone back to stock kernel and all. If you haven't resolved the problem by tomorrow I'll try to find the thread for you or post the files if I can from my computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I'm already using 1.3 and I've already downloaded the all in one pack of files I need. Still can't get past the Vibrant screen to use Odin. I'm guessing since nobody has responded back with a way to fix this that I'm hosed, so can I take the phone to a TMO store and get a new one?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaliscojorge:
Download Mode

Have you tried turning the phone off then while holding the volume down button only, have odin running and plug in the usb cable to the phone? It should power on into download mode like that.

The best phone in the world
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I have literally tried every possible combination of holding down buttons, powering up, usb cable in, out, etc. etc. I searched the forum and tried at least 30n different "surefire" methods. Odin always sits there and does nothing, and the phone just goes to the vibrant screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionstream:
I had to build an extremely ghetto Jig, which is just a 301kohm resistor going across pins 4 and 5 of a microusb plug. It sounds hard but its really not that bad, and unfortunately its the only way to get your phone into downloader mode if its hardware locked, like mine is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
As mentioned previously the phone is not hardware locked. I've accesssed recovery several times with the standard methods. Just got back from Tmobile and it will be a week before the new phone gets here. There has to be a way to fix this. Someone please help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
This is pretty weird because if the phone is not hardware locked, there's no reason that you can't get into download mode.

Just to be clear, so are you saying when you hold vol up + vol down ONLY, you will get vibrant screen?

Or when you hold volup + vol down THEN plug in the usb, it goes to Vibrant screen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
You need to be in download mode to use Odin, not recovery mode. Have you ever gotten into download mode via hardware? Was 'usb debugging' enabled? If so, go into download mode and follow Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I don't know how I can be anymore clear that the phone is not HWL and I cannot access download mode. I'm not trying to be an ass, it's just a very frustrating situation. I know you need to be in download mode to use Odin. I cannot get to download mode or this would be a cinch.

And to the poster before ^ this one, the phone goes to the Vibrant screen regardless of what button combination I press, or whether or not I hit any buttons at all. I've literally tried every combination possible, many many times.

I'm ready to throw this phone out the window. I have a hard time believing I am the only one to ever have this issue. It seems as though the answer to most problems is download mode + Odin but that does me no good.

Is there literally nothing else I can try?

I had the same issue search my post I used a froyo Rom when the phone 1st came out I download then something went wrong will flashing a new Rom I tried and tried odin did not work bc NO download mode I had got my phone the day it came out I just sent it back to tmobile pm ill explain how
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8skilz:
Same issue

Used download mode many times, then did the same exact thing you did with the obsidian ROM. Now i cant get into download mode at all.

The method that worked 100% of the time previously (holding both volume buttons and then plugging the phone in while odin is runing) does not work. Tried a bunch of different methods and nothing.

There has to be a way to get around this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
OP, please try the method in the general sticky. It seems to fix the HWL issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8skilz:
WOW!

Without even plugging anything in, I:

1) Turned phone off

2) Held Vol. Down + Home button + Power

And that got me into download mode. I will proceed to try flashing back to stock now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I have tried all the methods in the videos, and the issue is not related to the phone being HWL. It is not HWL. I have used the buttons to access the modes before. So please give me something unique to try besides a button combination, because none of them work. Am I literally the only one in the world that has ever had this problem before? I will paypal someone 50 bucks if they can help me fix this and that's not a lie. Her new phone won't be here for weeks and she is currently without a phone. Maybe I'm doing SOMETHING wrong but it is definitely not a button combination. I have literally tried them all, including with the USB cable in and out, and plugging it in at certain times during the process. Don't you normally get a charging icon when you plug the phone into the computer? All I get is the vibrant screen. Even if the phone is off, if I plug it into a computer without hitting any buttons, it turns on and goes to the vibrant screen. 50 dollars via paypal. You can't beat that. If you don't have paypal I will mail you a check, and no this is not a joke.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
So I'm pretty much screwed huh? Can someone tell me if nandroid backups are stored on the SD card on the Vibrant? I will just wait til the new phone gets here and put the old SD card in the new phone and restore it if so.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gr8skilz:
SD card

They are usually on the internal sd card only. So you may be out of luck on that one. And yes, usually you do get a battery charging icon when you plug in the usb. What happens when you plug it into a wall plug; will that show a battery charging icon?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
Nandroid backups are stored on the internal SD card? This is unacceptable. I absolutely have to be able to access her nandroid backups. So getting this new phone is not going to help whatsoever.

Can someone PLEASE offer me some advice beyond button combinations? To the poster above this one, I never get any icons at all, regardless of what I do. If I push the power button on the phone, it loads to the Vibrant screen and sits there. If the phone is off and I plug it into the computer via USB, it loads to the Vibrant screen and sits there. If the phone is off and I plug it into the wall charger, it loads to the Vibrant screen and sits there.

I may be willing to bump my offer from 50 up to 100 if it's true that the Nandroid backups are stored on the internal SD card. I absolutely cannot lose those backups. Just can't do it. It is literally not within the realm of possibility. So please, keep the suggestions coming. And if it's true that nandroid backups are stored on the internal SD card, I will raise the reward to 100 dollars to anyone that can offer me a solution that works.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzmp010:
It seems like you've tried everything to boot the phone into download or recovery. Have you ever gotten into download mode before using the hw buttons? (not talking about recovery mode)

Since you're getting a replacement phone, try downloading the android developers toolkit and then use 'adb pull' to copy your files off your internal sd.

Assuming your pc can still recognize the phone and usb debugging was turned on
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cm1ck:
Install the Android SDK if you have not already done so.

When the phone is at the Vibrant screen, right after startup, continually try 'adb devices' until the device is detected.

'adb reboot download' when the device is listed.

Report back to this thread.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I have never had a need to access download mode before, but I have certainly accessed recovery with the hardware buttons many many times. I was under the impression that if you could access download mode, or recovery mode, that you were in the clear and your phone was not HWL. Is this not the case? Will my phone respond to any ADB commands in its current state? I have faith that someone will come up with an answer, as the new phone is still on backorder and estimated to be 2 weeks away.

I have a vague, unrelated question, also. This Vibrant is my girlfriend's phone. Can someone explain to me why hacking her phone has been so much more difficult than hacking my own? I own a Motorola Droid. My assumption was that the Droid has been out for a year now and developers/hackers have perfected their methods making it super easy for the end user. Beyond that, are there any other reasons?

I was dumbfounded that I had to flash a 2.1 kernel before restoring a nandroid backup, as on my Droid, the kernel is included in the nandroid backup itself. Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone, somewhere will figure out what I'm doing wrong. Should I be able to access download mode without Odin open on my computer? If Odin IS required, I was going to try another computer. Any ideas why I'm not getting a charging icon while plugged in to either USB or the computer? Could it possibly have something to do with the cord?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cm1ck:
Keep trying ADB like I said.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velocity92c:
I didn't see your post before I made that big reply to this thread. Thank you very much, you're the first to suggest something other than a damn button combination. I will try that as soon as my girlfriend gets off of work in a few hours. Here's hoping for the best!
