[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to download mode, follow the directions in my next post...

First Method

1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.

2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.

3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.

4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. Hopefully it will boot into download mode and than you can use Odin to get back to stock.

Second Method

1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.

2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.

3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.

Third Method

1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.

Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe

Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.

3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.

4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.

5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.

6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.

7) Your phone will reboot into the download screen.

Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there our the ones in my post.

Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.

2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.

3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.

4) Hit start and wait.

5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.

Had that few days ago..please try this to access download mode...

I did the following:

1. take out the battery, sim and microSD

2. put battery in

3. ONLY hold vol down & power

4. plug in the USB and voila...download mode!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ielati:
none of those options work to get into download mode, even via adb with reboot download it still shows a screen with a cell phone, a orange triangle and a pc as soon as it gets power. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
Is your phone hardware locked?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ielati:
no, not hardware locked. im niot sure what the screen means. its a cell phone then a orange triangle with exclamation point, then a pc. but it goes to that as soon as the power is turned on
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Hold down both volume buttons and the power button. Wait until the screen turns black and release the power button. Welcome to download mode.

Edit: do all of this with the battery in, the phone connected to the computer, and Odin open. Once it goes into download mode, Odin should immediately recognize it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkdawg:
mail it to me, i bet i can get it in download mode, it just takes patients and alot of tries, dont give up so easy.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ielati:
i have a new vibrant on the way from t-mob. went to the store and they gave me a nokia E73. i dont like it at all :( all the buttons and no touch screen. feels like 1998 :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
So what you're saying is...you commited fraud. You are causing my costs on phones to go up. You knew the risks of flashing ROMs on your phone and when you screwed up instead of taking responsibility you give the bill to all the other T-mobile customers...

THANKS!!!

Typos and other gibberish courtesy of Swype
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ielati:
how is that fraud? i explained to the rep what happened and they offered a replacement. i dont see how that caused your cost to go up... thanks for your response tho...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BioShadow:
Ignore him, dude has no idea what he is talking about.

I had the same problem though, don't worry.

What will happen is they will force the phone into download mode, using the same method the jig thing does, wipe the phone, and flash the default rom to it. From there, they will resell it depending on the physical condition of the phone. Of course if it suffered water damage a steep fee will need to be paid. If they find out you voided the warranty, hope you have the insurance package or again, a steep fee.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
You explained that you voided the warranty by flashing an aftermarket ROM and when you screwed it up you called them because you want it replaced and they said no problem? Do you really expect me to believe that you told the rep the full truth?

The costs go up because they factor in the costs of replacement phones due to manufacturing defects. When people screw up their own phone and then get it replaced, the costs in the future go up.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] los0325:
That's what insurance is for, stolen, lost, broken, BRICKED, just pay your deductible... and bam.I wish t-mobile had vanishing deductible
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BioShadow:
This wasn't a defect. He just screwed something up. They'll flash stock rom on it and then bam, resell it. Why do you think they asked for it back, just to throw it against the wall?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ielati:
exactly, they will load a rom onto it and resell it, nothing wrong with the phone just software. either way ive got insurance on it and they accepted it . thanks for the input tho!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlinskiy87:
Thanks a ton!!! I've been up til 4am last night trying to fix my friend's Vibrant do to boot loop and had no way of accessing internal memory. Even CWM wouldn't do wipe data/factory reset....

He used Root Tools to change font and crashed it and I've tried method after method (ODIN, adb etc...) but was stuck! Finally I got the phone to pc icon and tried THIS method and what do you know...restored to stock under 3 minutes.

Much appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
+1 to that

Ur on a phone hacking community site complaining about wht hundreds of people do on this site all the time. We flash roms and sometimes we make mistakes I admit some people shouldnt flash roms but we pay our insurance for a reason. I hope u werent serious or ur just a really good troll!
[Android Apps and Games] Davidandroid:
This is really amazing. Our tech team just release this app to help those smoking people quite smoke, trial version allowed, hope this can help. Let's take a first look at this android app.

Self-Hypnosis to be Smoke Free

Find Your Path to Quit Smoking

Numerous ways have been tried to quit smoking. According to a national survey, hypnosis is the most effective one in it, three times more effective than the patch and 15 times more effective than willpower.

Self-Hypnosis to be Smoke Free is built to help you turn your sub-conscious mind to be your ally when fighting urges to smoke. The self-hypnosis session deals directly with the part of your mind that carries out your habitual patterns of behavior including smoking, and make you get further aware of the benefits when giving up smoking. Using this app on a regular basis will lead you to a healthy lifestyle free from smoke.

Let’s first answer an urgent question: "why it’s so hard to quit smoking?"

A smoking addiction can be due to two main reasons, with one being Nicotine dependence and the other a fancy for the smoking process.

Only free from such bondage can we achieve the goal. It seems applicable to reduce smoking amounts day by day so that you can gradually get rid of the dependence on Nicotine, but things always get complicated when it comes to a psychological issue.

Regardless of the harms to health, smoking might have brought so much pleasure that one can hardly forget. Smoking has become a sub-conscious habit that the willing to quit it makes no sense at all. "Why do I have to suffer the unhappy moments caused by a smoke-free plan?" "I quite miss those joyful hours with my tobacco!" These might be the most common obstacles to one’s determination.

But what joy can compensate for loss of health? The worst part is the incredibly high incidence of various cancers caused by smoking, which might be the most regrettable thing in one’s life.

Therefore the first step we take is to change smoking into a conscious behavior, to know exactly why we have to quit it and to make use of the hypnotic therapy.

Now take a firm stand and begin the pleasant self-hypnosis.

Had my evo rooted since i bought it!

Out of the blue google started acting up! Will not give me data connection.

So i unrooted and success!

Rerooted still no luck!

Feedback please stock phone sucks!
[myTouch 4G General] mikea3000:
So tmonews.com just announced another update for the 4g. http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/android-phone-updat​es-galore/

I wonder if the mytouch 4g update is the second update or if its the first one that many of us got in the first few days of owning the device. Any one know?
[myTouch 4G General] brian6685:
Damnit I still haven't gotten the first one!
[myTouch 4G General] Legaleye3000:
I was just about to post about that... I would definitely like to know also because my video chat does not work that well (especially low volume!).
[myTouch 4G General] VibrantOwnr:
in the article(picture) it says this fixes qik bugs
[myTouch 4G General] eleeo037037:
Link is down what did it say?
[myTouch 4G General] grankin01:
Personally, I would wait for CM or another rom to come out. Video chat will probably be optimized (among other things) in those roms anyway and there is no telling what this will do to root. It may "fix" root and plug up the exploit so that you are back at square one again. :eek:

My MyGlacier 4G MINE!!!
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
It's the same update we know about.
[myTouch 4G General] Jayrod1980:
I would love cm on here but I hope there will be some way to keep the genius button. That's one piece of bloat ware that I love. I heard someone with a g2 had it on their rooted device so maybe a easy to add it to our custom ruins when they come out?
[myTouch 4G General] 21productionz:
Gotta love auto correct!
[myTouch 4G General] dominicanman912:
its not the same one... this is the second one.... i installed the first ota update days ago, and the new one popped up last night. so this is indeed a second ota update.
[myTouch 4G General] Legaleye3000:
Was it a regular OTA or just a OTA that pops up when you open up Qik? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G General] dominicanman912:
regular... i have never opened Qik
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Since the link is down - what specific items did it mention - or was it just a general announcement without any specifics?
[myTouch 4G General] Legaleye3000:
I wonder if it matters which data plan you're on regarding getting the OTA's...? I'm on mytouch unlimited web, but I think the newest one is 4G unlimited web.
[myTouch 4G General] 30Glock:
It is interesting that after root is released, An update is announced.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I was wondering about that also. If it was to plug a hole, it will become evident if those with the 2nd OTA find that the s=off and/or the rooting itself procedures no longer work. And then there is tethering....

Would TMo be that mean ???
[myTouch 4G General] signal15:
If you make a backup using Clockwork, could you just reflash to get back to where you were if the new OTA takes away root?

If it's just a Qik update, can Qik from the new version be pulled from it and then installed on a phone without the newest OTA?
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
no because you need root to nandroid your phone
[myTouch 4G General] sk337sk337:
Only one update. If you have 2.2.1 thats the update for qik and some bugs; I got the email from HTC in their monthly news email.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
its a 2nd update? cause i have never got it. im still on 2.2.1. does urs says 2.2.2 or something?

but since i just traded in my white mytouch 4g and got the black one, now im waiting for the 2.2.1 update again lol. but does anyone have problems with gps locking on to where ur at? it takes about 5 mins at times to find me at my house.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Keep in mind that in order to get an accurate GPS fix, a clear, unobstructed view of the sky is necessary.

Does anyone own one of these screen protectors for their X10? My order came in and my screen protectors have a weird cut-out on the right side near the proximity sensor. Does everyone else's clarivue have that section gone?

I've had screen protectors before but they've always covered the entire screen...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_ahmadzais:
good luck man, its one of the worst screen protector ive ever purchased.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnytuco:
Received mine in the mail yesterday.

What the ****.

Why would you cut a screen protector like that? It makes no sense. I'm in the process of emailing them to sort out a replacement or refund. If they make me pay a restocking fee or for postage, I'm going to be pissed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephislee:
LOOL, I had one of these, worst screen protector ever.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atanu89:

the sides and back are useless but the screen protector is A+ (i wish i didnt buy the full phone coverage..)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphex33:
I have a mirrored one for my white X10a and looks quite nice, will post a pic in a bit.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aphex33:
A little off topic, where did you get that usb cable? aftermarket?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:
I think that goes the other way, donnytuco. That cutout goes over the light sensor to the right of the earpiece.

But yeah, I still haven't installed it and don't plan on purchasing anything ever again from Clarivue. Complete waste of money.

I emailed them about that cutout and they said it was for the light sensor. I told them that the X10 already has a screen protector on it and it has no effect on the sensor... Plus, why would a supposedly optically clear film alter the sensor anyways? They then told me not to remove the oem protector as it wasn't meant to be removed and to put the clarivue on top. WTF?

IMHO, they're idiots.

I've had the Zagg shields before. Not worth it and kinda overpriced (I used a 50% discount code too!) The shields was a magnet for dust and eventually it would just never stick.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2ha:

[Vibrant General] alecjake:
I have bionix fusion 1.0 and i was wondering if i am still able to get froyo. before all of you say use the search feature, read the stickys, etc I ALREADY HAVE.

The problem is that I am confused. In the sticky it says it will not stop it unless the ROM wont allow it--i dont know if fusion allows it or not. also i see numerous posts by people who claim to already have it and others who dont. so im wondering if i can get it OTA with my current ROM and when.

thanks!
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
from what i understand. If you flash a new ROM, more than likely you wont get the OTA.

BUT, on the otherhand, if you are flashing ROMs, then might as well flash the Froyo ROMs.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
You wont get the OTA, period. Even by some miracle you do get it, it WILL screw up and brick your vibrant.

If you want the OTA, odin back to stock and wait for it.
[Vibrant General] roguly:
NO, if you have any actual ROM flashed you wont get any OTA's.

And Froyo was leaked a couple weeks ago, so thats why you read that some people have it already. If you want Froyo, research any of the current ROM's out right now because almost all of them are based on the leak.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
If you're willing to flash bionix fusion, why don't you just flash bionix obsidian and forgetaboutit?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] software_samurai:
I'd like to make a few changes in the services.odex file, and I want to make sure I do it correctly the first time, so I'd like to run this by everyone for comments/corrections.

So far, these are the steps that I *think* are correct:

1. Pull /system/framework/* files onto my PC.

2. On the PC, baksmali the services.odex.

3. Makes the changes to whatever .smali file I wish.

4. Rebuild services.dex via smali (using the output dir created by baksmali).

5. Insert services.dex into services.jar (using, say, WinRAR).

6. Push the new services.jar onto /sdcard and then copy it over to /system/framework dir.

7. Reboot and pray it works.

Is this correct?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yani2000:
Strange... all thanks but nothing to add?

I had to install the new Android SDK r16 because of buggy "adb" executable (my fault).

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Newest version smali/baksmali v1.3.0 has been used.

Helpfull page:

http://code.google.com/p/smali/wiki/DeodexInstructions

Copied whole "/system/framework" to my current working folder (reason in command below).

baksmali -c /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar -a 10 -x Mms.odex -o Mms.out

Already had to put "BOOTCLASSPATH" in this command with "-c" option, else I would get an error stating. "Error occured while loading boot class path files.".

With new baksmali you have to put in the Android SDK api-level with option "-a" of the current Android OS you're working on. For Gingerbread numbers 10-13 work, but 14 (ICS) doesn't work anymore.

Api levels are stated right at the beginning on each "Android X.X Platform" links on the left side of Android SDK page (mentioned above).

For the most part this guide was perfect, but since a lot has been updated I felt this guide needed a minor update too! :)

If you backup the original services.odex before you replace it with the modified one then if you get stuck in a bootloop you can just use adb shell commands to copy it back and then do adb reboot. This worked for me anyways. Faster then doing a full restore.

Of course you should still to a backup beforehand.

This is the new RMVB plugin. A/V is now synced. Works on all TCPMP builds. Must remove the old RMVB plugin before installing. Enjoy!

Install this cab

www.4shared.com/file/u3rYxGK_/TCPMP_RMVB_PLUGIN.html

or extract these files to the TCPMP program folder

www.4shared.com/file/NbUnqU3D/RMVB.html

If you already have the old RMVB plugin installed I suggest installing the cab because the the old plugin had different reg entries. If you are going to manually install then make sure this reg entry is gone after removing the old plugin, HKLM/SOFTWARE/TCPMP/RMFF or it may not work properly.

If the resolution is high it will cause this. The worst files for this are ON2 VP6. WMV 9 are also prone to doing this frequently.
