I know I know first post kill the n00b. I have flashed several roms and I always Odin back to stock and wipe. I've never had a problem but now I am waving my little white flag.

I've been using this rom for say about a week. I'm trying now to flash back to stock to try the new Axura. Odin up and ready Vibrant gets into download mode and nothing. Odin doesn't pick it up anymore. It has no problem when phone is on though shows right up.

I have reformatted my computer and all drivers are up to date. I've even tried the little "Pull your plug in and out while in Odin." Nothing. My usb connection noise is failure though for some reason while in download mode trying to connect to Odin. Worth a note I also tried connecting phone in download mode and then starting Odin but no difference.

Help me xdadevelopers. You're my only hope.
[Vibrant Android Development] nranson:
I've run into this issue before. Basically, I just did a battery pull on the phone to kill it. Booted up Odin, held the volume buttons and then plugged in the USB connector. After that, I was good to go. If you have access to another computer, that might not hurt to try, either.

However, I have a separate question about this ROM. My ScoutMob app keeps putting someone else's info in for my email address. I've run into this issue before, but when I switched ROMs, it took care of it. I know that's a pretty specific issue with not much detail, but just wanted to see if anyone had run into this issue before.
[Vibrant Android Development] JediDru:
Thanks but this is not solving my issue. Due to my impatience and desperation (battery cannot last more than a few hours. Lag fixes have been disabled.) I am now soft bricked on the Vibrant screen. Constantly being denied usb access in download mode. I'm going to go over to a friends house and try to get it to work. Not to be rude I know it isn't anybodies fault but having spent around 2 grand on my PC having this not work NOW after the fact of having it work before is completely unacceptable and a real deal breaker for continuing to try all these great roms:(.
[Vibrant Android Development] YMark:
I'm having the same issues. I've downloaded the file twice and receive the same error. The .zip file is located on the internal sdcard/ directory.
[Vibrant Android Development] kanwal236:
and again...still looking for samsung apps removed from the rom....
[Vibrant Android Development] bigragu:
Enter recovery through hardware instead of clockwork. It will work.
[Vibrant Android Development] YMark:
This didn't work either. When I choose "Reinstall packages", I get the following:

Install default apk-files, finished

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

Any other suggestions?

BTW, if I use Rom Manager and select "backup current ROM", I receive the same errors as above. So it has nothing to do with the ROM I've downloaded.

My current ROM is:

Baseband version: T959UVJK2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number FROYO.UVJK2
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Odin back to JFD and then re flash. That's what will fix it.

After you flash make sure you flash the appropriate SD fix as well
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
Delete the Odin exe you currently have and re download v1.7

Odin v1.7

Make sure it's the latest one, I'd also go through and uninstall the USB drivers you have and downloaded the latest vibrant driver package directly from samsung's website. Use a different USB port than the one you're currently using.

Make sure odin is up and running first before putting your phone into download mode. If all else fails try a different USB cable.

i soft bricked mine and was shocked at how easy and fast ODIN was when I finally had to resort to it. Went back to stock and then came right back to R12 :D

Biggest problem for me was getting into download mode. :p
[Vibrant Android Development] buggzero:
Jumped up from 2.2 -> 4.2 last nite without issue. The only problem I had with 2.2 was I couldn't enable bluetooth. Happy to report that BT is working just fine on this baby so far...

To all the people having battery issues, did you follow instructions on properly reconditioning battery?

(Wiping batt stats). I had sub par battery life with 2.2 until I did that.
[Vibrant Android Development] JediDru:
Yea I'm all up to date on everything. Still down. The phone absolutely will not interface with my pc while in download mode. Repeat I am in download mode and I am DISTINCTLY hearing the failed to connect usb jingle. Odin cannot see my phone due to something with my pc denying the connection. And to top it all off I'm soft bricked until I Odin. Before that though Odin would see my phone while it was powered on normally. I'm thinking since my buddy has one of these is to hook his up to my pc while in download mode and actually establish a connection using his to see if the appropriate drivers or what have you are installed and seeing if my phone will work after that. I should have never reformatted :(.
[Vibrant Android Development] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
This happened to me too. Just completely turn off your computer and unplug its power source (so for a desktop, unplug the power cable, for a laptop, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery), waiting 2 minutes, then plug everything back in and restart your computer. Plug in your phone and your computer should detect it correctly now.

Same thing happened to me, I didn't believe that that fix would work, but it did. Shouldn't hurt to try. I should mention that completely removing the power source from the computer is the most important part.

My Wi-Fi just stopped working at the sudden.

I flashed this ROM awhile back, and Wifi was working until last week.

It would say obtaining IP Address over and over again, and would shut itself off after a few minutes of trying. I know it's not my wifi connection because all my other wireless device connects fine.

Help please?
[Vibrant Android Development] kanwal236:
OP link has been dead since like day 2 of this thread lol

but thank you!

[Vibrant Android Development] bigragu:
OK. Try this:

in cwm, find and select 'toggle signature verification", this will disable signature verification and allow you to flash the unsigned rom.

BTW, This ROM, plus the Black Froyo theme have ended my ROM flashing days. This phone is now absolutely perfect for me in terms of look and functionality. It is fast, responsive, and looks great! Thanks to everyone on XDA. I love this forum.

[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Just flashed this after flashing Axura, Macnut, Obsidian v5, and AOSP JK2, and I must say, this ROM is far faster by itslef + OCLF than any other ROMs I've tried. It's extremely snappy, doesn't lag at all, I love the color scheme, too.

I haven't checked out battery life yet because I just flashed but I'm on stock with only OCLF so it should be great (I hope!)

Can we expect an update or an Onyx R4.3 in the near future? That would be amazing, will donate when I can!
[Vibrant Android Development] 651stp:
hopefully we get a new version soon since sombo is releasing v.6 soon also ^_^ yay!

Onyx 4.2 lag

Hi guys,

Is anyone else seeing lag with this rom? It seems really fast, but once I restore my apps and data with titanium backup everything gets bogged down. I used the batch operation to restore all missing apps and data, then I deselect anything I don't want to restore.

When I did this with Bionix final and fusion, they both seemed much faster than onyx. Am I doing this right? How are you restoring your data?
[Vibrant Android Development] hydrogenman:
I only restored the applications, no data...and I must admit I'm having some really bad slowdown/lag issues.

Sometimes to the point I have to do a battery pull.

Angry Birds lags pretty bad for me as well.

Thinking of reflashing something else due to the issues
[Vibrant Android Development] hydrogenman:
flashed Axura, and I have to say I'm done with Onyx

Axura is way way way smoother

Onyx 4.2 GPS

Hi guys, I am pretty new to this Forum and already stumbled upon a huge (at least for me) problem.

First I would like to say how great Onyx is working on my phone, the battery life is so amazing, which was one of the most important things for me.

I just found out today that my GPS doesn´t seem to work, though. This is odd because I had one of the Samsung Vibrant phones where GPS used to work right out of the box. Never had to apply any fix or anything alike.

After flashing this ROM it suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try out Maps it would tell me it couldn´t get a hold of my position.

GPS test app tells me that one or two satellites seem to be in sight but the phone would not connect to anyone.

Has anyone so far had this problems and - would that be awesome - knows how to fix this problem? I kinda depend on the GPS and don´t wanna flash back because otherwise this ROM is miracle for me :)

Thx
[Vibrant Android Development] MilkPudding:
Still looking for help with this...
[Vibrant Android Development] bigragu:
This ROM runs awesome on my phone. It is as fast as can be in every aspect. One thing I DID NOT do this time around is restore everything with Titanium. I'm pretty sure I saw something from Bionix (maybe in the OP) about issues reinstalling apps that were previously running on 2.1. He said this may cause issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] bigragu:
Read the OP about the different lag fix options and how to easily apply the one you want.

Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
[Vibrant Android Development] icandy75:
I'm going to have to say no. Always disable any lagfix before flashing. This kernel has all that good stuff built in. This thing flies and I really don't see the need to OC anymore. I'm sure if you wait long enough they will have an OC/UV version of this one up.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kealiisr:
Does anyone have pics, I want the black swipe keyboard with the blue when you keypress. Is that onyx or obsidian? TIA.

Neither, that black with blue when you press is on Onyx and is for the stock android keyboard. Viral doesn't use Swype so he skinned what he uses first.

Does anyone have the all black swype from previous release? Or know how it can be changed any other way on Onyx 4.2?

If you have no issues other than the wipe leave it alone. Only reason to go back to stock is to repair the mounting issue.

Look in themes and apps section. There are several metamorph options to choose from there including the one you search.

Damn.

This rom (since I was using 4.1 before it was taken off the TW site) onyx 4.2 w/ ULF is a-mazing. I'm running the No-RFS Advanced JFS lagfix.

Makes all the oclf & voodoo kernels Ive used look laggy, the quadrant score might show lower (1500 avg) but it embarrasses the others, at least in visual and in opening applications, etc speed.

Great work once again Team Whiskey.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
