While you can go the Odin route, a simpler method would be to go to CWM recovery, factory reset at least 3x, clear cache at least 3x, and instead of selecting "update.zip" choose "install zip from sd card" then navigate to the ROM you want. Since you are changing ROM's all together it is not an update.
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
Thanks... yes, its not an update.zip, its a rom... you need to choose "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"... glad you got it fixed though

That didn't work for me last night
[Epic 4G General] persianpimp:
i had the same exact problem couple days ago.. and fix it the same way as you hahaha.

One thing i dont understand though guys, yall said we can just install from zip where i do not see that option straight up.

All you see is reboot, apply sdcard update.zip, wipe data and wipe cache. How did yall directly go to install from zip? am i missing something?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Shaundizzle:
I think everyone here is talking about the update.zip from the normal recovery.

For me i always have to hit apply update.zip in normal recovery to get to clockwork unless i use rom manager.
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Sounds like you guys are talking about the stock recovery, not clockwork. To be clear, clockwork recovery is loaded by powering on the phone while holding the vol. down and camera buttons at the same time. If you are in the right recovery you will see the option you seek!
[Epic 4G General] UltimateNubs:
thanks all for the replies. i was talking about the stock recovery...

Any time i want into clockwork i do the vol d+camera+power combination.

That take me to manual stock recovery where i load an update.zip to access clockwork....

Stock wouldnt let me load clockwork anymore... Odin fixed it but this raises another question for me....

Do i have clockwork set up correctly? Should the button combo take me straight to clockwork?

Sorry for being a noob guys and thanks for the help!:)
[Epic 4G General] raiderep:
I'm out and about and can't link it but noobnl posted a redirect fix that let's quickboot and root manager take you straight to clockwork. It bypasses the stock recovery thus no need for the update.zip anymore. I think that's what you need...rom manager is supposed to work with it too I believe.

If you have the current version of cw then the three button boot should take you directly to it. Not sure what the problem is, maybe someone more experienced than me will know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
After flashing Macnut R12 and Eugene's a13 kernel, my Vibrant will only boot to the "Galaxy S I9000" screen, but nothing further. The screen doesn't go black and no buttons flash, the phone just doesn't boot past that screen. I can enter recovery and download mode, and can use clockwork mod recovery, but I'm not sure what my next steps should be. Should I attempt to use Odin (Bricked my first Vibrant with that, though that one was HW-Locked), or is there some other way to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
Scratch that, now my Vibrant boot-loops (Boots to galaxy S I9000 screen then restarts), and I can't enter recovery. Starting to freak out a bit, hoping download mode works... Any help would be appreciated.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
Ok, Download mode (Via Volume + and - and plugging in usb) works flawlessly, but I'm still unsure of how to go about using Odin to fix this problem. Should I go the "Froyo that doesn't brick" downgrading route, or should I just flash JFD? And to the above poster, I won't have access to the internet for a couple hours after this post, so I can't email you right away. If I can't fix the problem later today, I will certainly contact you for some assistance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
Thanks for the guide, I'm just worried about what to flash. I've seen people praise Eugene's downgrading method for fixing most any problem (Froyo that doesn't brick to JFD), but I'm very much an Odin novice, and I'd hate to let it tear the life out of yet another phone (Though thankfully this one isn't HW-Locked). Also, does flashing JFD through Odin touch the SBL or anything that could affect my phone's ability to access recovery/download mode through hardware methods? I've heard that the JI6 OTA update fixes the 3-Button mode, but I'm unsure of whether or not JFD breaks that (Though I assume it doesn't). Anyway, thanks for the help, sorry if I don't post back soon, have to leave the house for a few hours, and I'm stuck with my old phone until I can fix my Vibrant.

One last question, should I use the Odin in the link, or an updated version (If one exists, I believe Odin3 1.70 is the latest and I don't know used in that thread)? Last time I used Odin it froze and killed my HW-Locked Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
Thank you for pointing out that the linked thread has the old Odin. I attached the new Odin 1.7 in this post. The other files (pit and pda) in that thread will work fine. Once you get booted into that ROM (Stock JFD) just re-root, install CWM recovery and reflash with a ROM of your choice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Generic112:
Just wanted to say that Odin ran successfully for me, and I now have my Vibrant back in working order. Thanks for the help (and that nifty little guide).

[Desire HD General] keemyb:
Has anybody have the same problem I have with the DHD volume button? My device has the bottom part of the button jutting out a little bit, and I am worried it might fall off. I have only had this phone for 2 and a half weeks, so before considering an exchange, has anybody had the problem and fixed it? I would hate to take the button off and not be able to put it back on properly.
[Desire HD General] vimto25:
Can you take pic and upload it?
[Desire HD General] JimmyGeordie:
I had the same problem. I sent mine back to Phones4u after about a week.

Whether it would have fallen off or not, I don't know - but as mine was like that after a week or so I didn't want to take any chances.
[Desire HD General] keemyb:
Here are the pictures, hope they're good enough quality.
[Desire HD General] feckewe:
Mine's the same, it's going back when vodafone get more stock.

I also noticed the top of the screen clicks and creaks as if its loose.

Mine is the openmarket version and vodafone only have the branded handsets in stock anyone know the difference?
[Desire HD General] Smigit:
Just return it.
[Desire HD General] anoniem:
Hi all,

I've my phone about a month now and I have almost the same problem with the volume button.

Actually it isnt that bad as the pictures above but you can definetally feel that the vol-down button sticks a litle bit out while the vol-up is very hard to press.

(The powerbutton is also hard to press but that seems to be with everyones phone)

It seems HTC is very bad in making hardware buttons, I had also button problems with my Touch HD and my HD2!

What do you recommend me? Should I return it or not?

Ps for htc maybe:

The main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.

I have a solution, make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.

I think that should solve a lot of problems
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
The bottom bit of the volume button comes out a bit too on mine but not that far!
[Desire HD General] johnkor:
whats the point if u return it they dont accept it.
[Desire HD General] Smigit:
Based on the images he posted somethings clearly wrong with it. The buttons not set in the device properly at all.
[Desire HD General] Pepppito:
Same problem...
[Desire HD General] corruptedz:
From the pictures, i had the exact same problem. On day one, i was so happy to have the phone i looked passed it ( it was the very slightest bit sticking out ), then eventually a week later it really started coming loose, when you press volume up for example the bottom of the button would literally pop out and dangle.

In the end i arranged for a replacement the next day as i was illegible as i only had, had the phone for a week. What struck me is the elastics holding the volume rocker in place? thats the last thing i'd expect something made out of "metal" to be locking it in place. :confused:
[Desire HD General] poetthd:
Hi all,

i have the same problem. the volume rocker is not sticking to much out but you can definitely feel the difference between the upper and the lower side of the button. the upper side is like pushed in and kind of hard to press and you don't fell the "click" when you push the vol up. the lower side i slightly sticking out but you can fell the "click" when you push the vol down.

how do yours fell when pushing vol up?

i don't know if i should replace the device or not???

here are some pics of my problem

thanks
[Desire HD General] keemyb:
I returned mine and I think you should too.

Works perfectly now, but not sure if it can last 20 months as my old one broke so early. Taking the greatest of care whilst touching the volume rocker now. Kinda sad that a device so expensive has quite a few cosmetic flaws.
[Desire HD General] pumafab:
Exact same issue with mine i dabbed some super glue ont he plastic and the metal. Its alot better now. Seen new buttons on ebay, has anyone tried these yet? How do you install them?

EDIT: 2.3.2 done

I noticed one annoying thing about Gmail for me. I always had to hit the big "Display Images" button to view emails properly.

So I decompiled it, did some editing, and got it to always display images period. Doesn't ever show that big ugly button either. All emails load images, it's great.

This is based on the latest FROYO Gmail. I may make a version for Eclair if there's enough people interested.

You will need to be rooted.

Method 1: adb push Gmail.apk /system/app

Method 2: copy Gmail.apk to /system/app using Root Explorer

Delete Gmail.odex from /system/app if it exists. Also delete GoogleMail.apk and GoogleMail.odex if they exist.

You may be able to simply uninstall the updates to Gmail and then install this like a normal app, it may not require root. Someone try it.

apk is attached
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:

[Android Apps and Games] Skimi:

It IS the Froyo one, the only difference is that instead of there being a button "Display images" it just automatically displays images inside of emails.

[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
Did you open it up and try and view some emails? I got in to install if I remember correctly, following a similar method. But I couldn't get it to actually let me view emails...I think I started getting FCs.
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
I'm running CM7 nightlies, with A2SD enabled. This is what I did to get this working.

Before the install, my gmail.apk was installed at: /data/app/com.google.android.gm-1.apk

Post install, it's now at: /system/app/Gmail.apk

How to check where your gmail is installed

1. 'adb shell' to your phone

2. use the 'pm' command with the path option to locate:

pm path com.google.android.gm

>> package:/system/app/Gmail.apk

Tools I used:

* Amon_Ra Recovery

* Titanium Backup

1. Download the gmail_update that TouchPro uploaded: LINK

2. Uninstall Gmail with Titanium Backup

3. Reboot into Recovery, install the gmail_update.zip

4. Reboot

5. Enjoy

On my N1, I confirmed that the app is working as expected...Sans the "show pictures" button and with all images automatically loading.

Have had the 'always show images' option in K9mail for awhile, nice to now have it in gmail too!

Thanks!:D
[Android Apps and Games] Bondfire:
I opened several emails with no issues. I didn't actually install it, I simply copyied the apk to the /system /apps/ folder and ran gmail from the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
Thanks for the detailed instructions, only one problem. That ZIP isn't the most recent gmail. :(

I'm going to try your method once I get my battery charged. Will report back any problems or hopefully my success. :D
[Android Apps and Games] CNPalmer:
Some additional tips...

Just updated my gmail to the 2.3.2 .apk file released in the OP.

Here's what I did to get it working...

Renamed the existing gmail.apk to gmail.apkold in /system/app

Copied the update gmail.apk file to this location using Root Explorer

Set the permissions on the .apk file to match everything else in that dir

Rebooted

Upon reboot, opened up Gmail and ahhh, success.

*I'm running PE 4.2 so your app location may be different than mine but the rest of the steps should work the same.
[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
I can confirm that Bondfire's method worked for me on CM7! I do want to add a couple steps that I did just to give some more detail to Bondfire's method. I don't see why it wouldn't work for others as well.

Tools used, both ES File Explorer and Titanium backup. You also have to be rooted for this method.

1. I did a Nandroid backup just to cover my ass, but you probably don't have to do that.

2. Download apk from first post and put on sdcard.

3. Go into Titanium Backup and uninstall the original gmail.

4. Go into ES File Explorer, go to Menu > Settings > Root Options. Turn on both the Root Explorer and Mount File System.

5. Now copy the gmail apk from the sd card and paste it to /system/app/

6. Make sure you get a pop up message saying that it copied in successfully.

7. Reboot (not sure if this is needed because I just did it without checking for gmail first)

When you are back up and running, gmail should now display images automatically!

I can say that I tried a similar method using Root Explorer in the past and it didn't work. Maybe I did something incorrectly? You could possibly try this same method with that tool as well. Just make sure you are in R/W mode.

Hope this helps others as Bondfire helped me! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Bondfire:
Nice step by step, I guess I could have explained more detail but I think you nailed it better than I could have. I also tried this same method with root explorer and it did not work. It makes no sense.

[Android Apps and Games] th3taman:
I had to redo the above process after a wipe when I flashed to a new ROM. I found that it DIDN'T work if I went straight to step 4. I had to install gmail and set it up from the market and then uninstall through Titanium backup in order for the other steps to work. Doesn't really make sense to me, but it worked. :rolleyes:

[Android Apps and Games] tomballpkrxda:
I have attached patched versions of the 2.3.4.1 Froyo standard and 'black' versions that will show email images automatically and do not require you to press the 'show pictures' button.

I do not have Froyo and thus have no way to test these. I patched them in the same way as the Eclair version I provided earlier determined by decompiling the Froyo version from the original poster.

I have also attached the most recent 1.3 Eclair version with the same patch.
