[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javahaxxor:
Actually this noob is REALLY going to need some help.

I flashed stock with Odin from here but afterwards I'm stuck at the Android system recovery screen. I've deleted all user data and cache, ran reinstall packages, and rebooted, but all it does is:

-- Movi_check already executed!!...

-- movi_checking done!...
update media, please wait

and now with red text

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed

tried adb reboot download but it says device not found at this screen. Actually adb can restart the device from the Vibrant screen, but it just goes into the same recovery mode, never the download mode.

Please, tell me I'm not completely screwed, I'm in Europe with an american Vibrant

I'm pretty much a noob at things like this, however I seemed to have been successful in rooting, and using the rom manager.

Now when I try and connect usb to pc to put the ROM on phone storage the pc doesn't show the removable drives. I've already had to install the drivers again for some reason and usb debug is enabled. Any help is much appreciated.

EDIT

i got it on there by using a micro sd adapter and moving it to internal storage with a file explorer.....still cant get pc to recognize phone via usb

Hey so I'm having trouble trying to flash nero v5.0, I've followed all the steps correctly, however when i get to the recovery screen i get this message in red:

E:can't open /cache/update.zip

(Bad)

Installation Aborted.

I've checked double checked and re did everything and this problem still arises, can anyone help me out please? Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Try downloading Nero again.

go to CWR and do a factory reset, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache (advanced menu).

Flash the rom

Reboot

Could be just a bad download... did you check the MD5 before flashing?

How to go back?

PLEASE forgive me if this has been posted and talked about over and over. I just read through the 17 pages in the forum and didn't see the answer, and maybe this will help others?

I recently rooted and flashed my Vibrant. I used the one click root (on a mac) to root the phone. I then installed ROM manager and Titanium backup. Flashed clockworkMod Recovery (my phone says: Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.12 and same for latest recovery). I used Titanium Manager, went into batch, and and ran "backup all user apps" and "backup all system data". I downloaded Axura 2.2.6 ROM, put it on the root of my phone memory, and went into recovery, and flashed it. Everything went perfect and I love the ROM! I read today that Samsung is finally releasing the official 2.2 tomorrow. I know I can't get the update with a custom ROM on the phone. How do I get back to stock everything, as if I just took the phone out of the box? I never used ODIN and don't have it downloaded. Would it be possible to get a step by step way to reverse everything?

What I want and am inclined to do, is just go into recovery and boot from my backup? Can I just do that? Or is there something more specific? I searched in the stickies for flashable ROMs and found a stock 2.1 link, but when I clicked it, it was closed and said it was an old version of it. I haven't found an updated one - I might have just missed it though.

Anyway, any help is always appreciated, and again, if this is a repeat I apologize profusely and if you could point me in the right direction, you have my deepest gratitude!

Thanks,

Tara
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Hey Tara,

ODIN gets you back to stock, but it does not work on a MAC (to my knowledge, this is still the case). There are work-arounds, but the easiest thing would be get on a pc and install the drivers... and proceed with ODIN.

That said, I would really hold off on that. Last time we had an OTA it caused issues for people (even those who were not rooted). Once the OTA is coming, we should be able to find the download link.... once we have that, we can download it, add root and make it a flashable zip like your new rom (MUCH easier/safer in my opinion). Plus, you keep root.

If you are really set on this, hit the general section sticky (also in my signature). I have a section for unrooting, but I really would encourage holding off. Especially when it could be a few weeks before you get the OTA update (rolls out in stages).

EDIT: your cwr backup is of your 2.1 system, you are on a 2.2 rom/kernel. You can not restore your 2.1 now because cwr does NOT restore the kernel. You could try flashing the 2.1 kernel and then immediately try to restore though.

I believe there are even .zips you can flash for stock JFD (like the phone shipped)... you could then remove the items that give you root... but I repeat again, just wait... no reason I can see to jump ship for an OTA update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javahaxxor:
And the stock 2.2 firmware isn't very good. Pretty laggy, and some other issues, with bluetooth, launcher dies, etc. That's on my Galaxy S. I'm guessing the Vibrant 2.2 won't be different, it will just be the Galaxy S build with the T-Mobile layer on top, which will probably add to the list of issues. Stay with what you have. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"

By the way, I bricked my Vibrant trying to go back to stock, and now I have to solder resistors to a disected micro-usb connector (as I'm writing this) in order to get my phone into download mode. If reading the above raises your pulse, you should wait for a ROM flashable through Clockwork Recovery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarastaryo:
Hey, thanks very much! I was hoping there would be a way to revert without using Odin... but at the same time, I am really happy with this custom ROM and I guess I don't need to go back to stock to get 2.2 when I already have it. So since my kernal is already on 2.2, can I flash to any ROM written for the same kernal without needing Oden? And furthermore, if something comes out for 2.3 will I theoretically be able to flash up to that just by putting the ROM on the root of my phone? Or will something different need to be done for that?

I like the ease of just mounting the phone, dragging a file to the root, going into recovery and loading that way. How come everything can't be done like that and some things need special programs?

Thanks again for your help, I am interested in learning and understanding this whole process, and I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javahaxxor:
I looked for jig-related info on team whiskey's site but didn't find any. Do you have a link maybe ?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Sounds like you already have a handle on it. Yes, most (all) of our rom's come with the kernel.

Download, move to root and flash... Forget the ota.

Odin will never REALLYneed to be used by you, unless you soft brick and need to get back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faith5x5:
Now that I've used this thread to get totally sucked into flashing ROMs on my phone (Axura 2271 runs really well so far), what is the best way to decline the apparently pending TMO OTA? Is it just as simple as saying "No" every time it shows up on my phone? How long will they try to push it to my phone? Will it stop after several "declines" in a row? One posting I read suggested "freezing" Device Manager in Titanium Backup. Couldn't find any further verification that it works or what else accesses DM and may not work while it's frozen.

My daughter messes with my phone all the time and I just imagine her hitting yes when the update comes in.

Any insight would be appreciated.

EDIT: looks like there is no mandatory OTA coming and this is being delivered via kies, so nevermind.

None of the files provided to flash a ROM are compatible with my computer the ODIn wont open at all...it prompts me to download some kinda of software...What should I do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faith5x5:
Total noob question. Once a rom is installed and humming along, the zip file initially installed on the internal sd card isn't doing anything but taking up space and can be removed, correct? Same with any "update" zip files, correct. Sorry, but slowly learning what I'm doing - space is a hot commodity.

Vibration -ON/OFF

Bluetooth -ON/OFF

Running WINDOWS 6.?

I want to install Android, so have downloaded and tried to install 3 different *.cab versions. Each failes. The one I am persivering with is Rhodium and as I am in the UK and use Vodafone I have seected rhod100_uk

When I run it, it gets to the enter PIN screen, then the first errors occure. It will not let me enter the PIN until I have slid open the keyboard and then slid it back again. Once in I get errors come up, namely it says that either media has failed or Android... I select OK, and it comes back again. There seem to be no functions and I get a message saying the battery is empty.

I then decided to do an update, in the hope that may fix any bad files.

Now it opens only as far as the Enter PIN screen, when after a few seconds the phone vibrates and enters in to a restart.

Can anyone help me, please.

Until we get the Froyo source for this, the Captivate ROMs will be kind of limited in what can be done with them. You can theme them, add or remove apps, try different modems, etc, but I don't think we'll start seeing some real awesomeness until we have the source. Look at what's going on in the I-9000 forums...they have some amazing devs over there. Sztupy, supercurio, codeworkx, raspdeep, hardcore, etc, etc, they all release their sources and initramfs, etc. And those are just the kernel hackers, then there's all the ROM developers over there. I think the I-9000 forums put the Vibrant and Captivate forums to shame with the petty bickering and kanging.

All the ROM ports from Vibrant or i9000 will be, at least, minimal buged until they get the Official Captivate Froyo source code to make a good reoriented kernel..
