[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
I just bought a used vibrant... sadly it has a huge problem.

Problem consists of:

1.Can't remove previous user gmail account

2. Can't download apps from market

3. If an app is installed to external sd, it will install.

4. If anything is put on the phone (pictures, apps, music), it will be removed after the phone is restarted.

5. Capturing picture from camera, if the file put in internal memory, it can't be opened or sometimes error.

6. Receiving mp3 or mp4 file from bluetooth that put in internal memory, all files gonna error & can't be open.

7. can't root the phone because everything is WIPE while restarting the phone include the update.zip that placed in internal memory.

8. some old photos can't be delete from internal memory, once the phone is restart, those photos are appear again.

Attemps to fix include:

1.Formating internal and external sd

2.Wiping data in recovery

3.Flashing multiple roms in recovery

4.using odin with repartition checked

now i'm using JI6

anybody can help pleaseeee.

thank you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Wait, you used ODIN and the other account is still logged in? If that's the case then it doesn't sound like ODIN is working. ODIN if i'm not mistaken is basically re-writing everything from the ground up, bootloader, recovery, radio, kernel, rom. Can you give us a little more info such as what happens when you flash another rom, or after you use odin.

One other thing, you mentioned that you can't root the phone, yet you said that you have tried to install other roms. Are you sure you're doing everything properly? In ODIN does the console recognize your phone? Can you get into download mode?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Yeah, something in the OP is NOT correct.

OP, could you try the ALT METHOD in the NOOB GUIDE in my signature. It will take care of everything as I have used it many times as well as others. It will give you root, jk2 froyo and then you can flash on top of it.... no way in previous data should be stored.

Also, didnt see you listed a factoy reset which is in the settings options.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denny_1986:
try doing a phone data reset

you will find that under settings > privacy > reset phone data

also, make sure you're micoSD is plugged in. 2 mintues ago i was having the same exact problems as you were having so i finally decided to give it a one last go before calling it a night. I plugged my microSD card in and re-attempted to root my phone and surprisingly that did the trick....it could be just a coincidence though

good luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
Unfortunately the phone data reset did not solve the issue.

OK, after playing with the phone somemore, I found out that I can temporarily root my vibrant using the OCLF 2.3.0 - Z4Root app; I verified this by running the "su" command under terminal emulator. However once the phone is restarted, the su/root privilege is gone and I would have to install OCLF and run the Z4Root app again to gain root access. I don't think this is normal?

What's strange is that I can flash different ROMs using Odin without any issue, but I simply can't root the phone permanently. Does any one have any more idea I can try?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamir5:
i had the same problem as you my friend.

every night im trying all i can to delete the undeleted files but no success..

i had the exact problem as you with my galaxy s.

please help us.

when i reboot all apps are force closing even my bluetooth cant turn on because

its force closing also.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
OP,

I would:

- remove external SD card

- desktop > menu > settings > SD and phone storage > format phone storage.

- ODIN back to original stock, JDF. follow the ODIN instruction [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475]here[/URL].

This should put your phone back to the original stock. There should be none of the old system data, kernel, root or anything. Your SD card should also be clear of all old data, which could be preventing permanent rooting. From this point you should be able to root, install cwr and flash roms at will.

I don't think there is a way for data to survive a JDF odin nor an SD card format.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamir5:
tried to reformat internal sd card tru pc like what youve mentioned..but still no luck it says formated but when i disconnect and reboot the phone..it comes back..

havent tried jdf should give it a try.

thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
i think THIS is a situation where you SHOULD check re-partition on ODIN. your doings omething wrong on ODIN.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamir5:
i always tick repartition whenever i reflash with new firmware.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
same, but some people suggest against it, but this would be a situation where i wouldn't listen to them because you really do NEED to erase everything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamir5:
been trying to download every firmware hoping some miracle would actually erase everthing..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikomikos:
@jamir5:

so what did u use for your ROM ?

Now I'm back to JFD... everything is back like the factory reset, but those problems still remains. At least there are no pop-up error message anymore.

I don't know what should I do now ? even factory reset or repartition using odin still can't help us. hik...hikss.....

I'm start to thinking that it's a hardware problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamir5:
same here flashed to stock rom force closures are gone bluetooth working again but still cant delete wipe or access the internal sd..tried every solution u could but no luck..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilgil2:
does the nexus s in best buy is sim free or not ?

plz

i am talking about the 529$ deal

and if not is there any way to unlock it ?

sry for my english
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SphericalPuma:
The phone is unlocked no matter what version you buy. Best Buy worded their FAQ wrong at the beginning but I believe it's fixed now.

You can put an SIM in this device and have it work. Though if you are in the US, only T-mobile's 3g will work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdurabo2:
All Nexus S units are unlocked and will work with any GSM SIM. Best Buy was mistaken in claiming that some units are locked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piensa:
Is this still valid for the AT&T version of Nexus S sold on Best Buy Stores?

I am looking to buy the AT&T version of Nexus S on a next trip to the US in mid August 2011.

I will use the phone in Mexico, (my cell operator uses the same 3G frequencies as AT&T, now I got an AT&T Nexus One which works ok here.)

I am expecting to get, for $529.00+ USD, a SIM Unlocked Nexus One phone, that meaning: that I can put it any SIM from any other company (that uses the same AT&T frequencies, of course) and the phone should work fine.

ALSO, I am expecting a full "Google Experience" Android, loaded on the phone. That meaning, among other things, that for instance: HotSpot tethering should work as stated on the Google's Nexus S page. I do not want to buy a phone that a carrier has tinkered with its native Android features.

Your comments and advice on this are well appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmoore81:
As far as similar free yes the nexus line comes unlocked except for nexus s 4g.

This is the 2.2 Nexus LWP with the background swapped out for the one from the Nexus S dump, not the nice imitation by the3dman that fooled everyone around the net . :D

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] scotttm1:
well is there anyway you can maybe do that please sir? I flashed both and now the odex from the original livewallpaper.apk is giving error and this is really frustrating. Sorry if i didnt read or did something wrong but ive have android since the g1 and every single phone ive had rooted and am very familar with following directions if you could please help us. Do i need to delete the livewallpaper.apk and the livewallpaper.odex and start over? please advise as i was trying to do this before work and now im here sick to my stomach....
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chiefy009:
Not to good at this stuff, could you point me to a guide at all please?

sent from my commodore 64
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Segnaro:
Yes, this should be an easy method if your phone is deodexed and has the Nexus LWP.

Download the pyramid_background from Nexus S, here , and save it somewhere on your phone.

-Install ninjamorph from the market

-go to /system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk .

-Replace pyramid_background.png in /drawable-hdpi with the new wallpaper.

-Finish Project

-Select Nexus LWP from Wallpaper Menu
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chiefy009:
The picture is saving as html and not png?

sent from my commodore 64
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chiefy009:
I dont have the orginal either flashing the other one got rid of it

sent from my commodore 64
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Segnaro:
Find LiveWallpapers.apk from your phone's board and push it back.

An even more simple way to do this mod is to download NexusKang and set the pyramid_background.png as a customer background.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chiefy009:
Says nexuskang only for 2.2 or higher

sent from my commodore 64
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Segnaro:
Ok. The prob with 2.1's livewallpapers.apk is that it wouldn't take a replacement with a different resolution, so the wallpaper had to be resized and cropped to work.

Clockwork flashable. For Odexed & 2.1 . Make a backup of LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapers.odex in /system/app before flashing.

Running on my 2.1 Vibrant

[Fascinate General] Bawb3:
Tapping the location button twice activates the compass mode that makes the map rotate with the direction you're facing.

The actual map rotation gesture requires 2.2 so we're SOL for the moment haha.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

Oh well, the 3d fancyness works at least.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
We're talking about being able to rotate the map via multitouch, not compass.

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1079043

For some reason it lists Galaxy S but not any of the US carrier models, maybe that's why? Maybe they just did a hard check for those models because they might not have a good way to check for touchscreen features properly.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
Phone in the video on their blog looks like a US Galaxy S device. Probably a Vibrant (I'm secretly hoping it's a Fascinate)...

[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
the notes on the gesture section state

Note:

Rotating gestures require Android OS 2.2 or later.

This list of devices may be incomplete and may change in the future as new Android phones are available for purchase.
[Fascinate General] Droiddude24:
How the hell did you get the 3d working?
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
It looks like the Nexus S to me based on the color scheme, although I don't know what the order of the buttons is which is probably the best identifier (sadly).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nokn956120:
I actually remember when the music fix became available. It is the anniversary of my wife's granddad's death which is 26th October. Darkstone released the music fix that day. The build you mention is 27th October so I doubt the music fix would have been cooked in. If you like the build so much you could try downloading one of the latest kernels and copying it to the Android folder on your SD card. The kernel in your build is Hastarin r8.2, the latest is Hastarin r8.6 and can be found here. It may not be compatible but if you like the build then it is worth a try. If that fails then you might have to try another build. Might be an excuse to try out different types of Android to see which you like best.

Hello XDA-devs ---

I'm just trying to get some kind of visible feedback about whether the new Devvy Awards banner Ad is showing up for you in the ad-rotation on the site here. There is a wide banner version, and a square version. If you've seen one at least once, could you please reply and just let me know -- it'll help a lot!

HERE'S WHY

It would help to give me an indication on where and how to spend money to increase developer awareness of the upcoming VOTING for the first (AND LAST) Devvy Awards for the Windows Mobile touchscreen Platform. These awards pay tribute to the killed-off OS that started this whole multi-billion dollar touchscreen phone & tablet industry way back when XDA-developers.com first started as a website formed to help make the HTC "XDA" a more usable phone on Windows Mobile.

XDA-developers.com has very generously donated the running of these ads for the Devvy Awards, and "we" ("we" is actually just 2 people! :) ) are very grateful for all the support they've given in so many ways.

Here's what the ads look like:

ADS RUN HERE IN GEOGRAPHICAL TERRITORIES OF THE WORLD

Europe, Asia, Africa, South America may all see these Devvy Awards ads more likely than those of us in the USA, due to the targeting of many ads for USA audience, and the heavy Christmas shopping season where many products are being sold. So the statistical instances of USA viewers seeing the ads is way less -- and that's where I live. So I am hoping for some tangible feedback.

They cost a lot to produce. And the purpose was simply to notify people about the upcoming voting. I intend to run the ads elsewhere, and pay for them to run. So, getting your feedback would also really help me to know if it's a good use of my depleting funds.

Right after Christmas, on Dec 27th, the Nominations Period will begin for the 5 other major Operating Systems: Android, iPhone, webOS, Blackberry, and -- though there is really not enough development to warrant it -- WindowsPhone 7. So I plan to run ads at places where developers on these OSs congregate in forums like these.

I appreciate any and all feedback. Please keep this thread bumped up so others can see it. Everything about this is Recognition for developer dedication and hard work. Thanks!

/quicksite
[General Topics] quicksite:
Thurs Dec 16 2010, 7pm, Pacific time, California USA: no views

So, as of this writing, is this correct? No one on the entire site has seen either the wider banner or square banner?

...

Hmm, wonder if this is due to most users here using ad-block software so they see no ads at all. I know that is common...

Still... NO ONE at all? I'm not sure if this is true, or if those who have seen it just don't see this thread.
[General Topics] quicksite:
Topic 1 of 2:

Santa Wrecked the Devvys Site - Damn Him

SANTA MESSED UP HIS GPS USING SAMSUNG GALAXY, *TOTALLY* MISSED THE NORTH POLE, WENT ON A DRUNKEN BINGE, AND WRECKED OUR SITE, and about 150 others on his path....

So Look for Windows Mobile voting on Friday.

$%$^&# Santa! Why can't he leave working things alone? Rudolph and the reindeer have performed flawlessly all these years, but even Santa falls for the hype and gets the Nexus S --- all messed up: http://devvyawards.com

Topic 2 of 2:

THE DEVVY AWARDS BANNER ADS on this site:

So, did anyone at all, in any country, anywhere on XDA, at any time of day, at any point at all, see a Devvy Awards ad? I ask because I spent about $5000 to get them made and they took an enormous amount of time, and the whole purpose is not commercial -- but rather to alert people to the voting for Devvy Awards.

It's hard to complain since, when I inquired about the price a few months ago, XDA offered to donate the ad runs --- which is absolutely wonderful and generous. And yet, at the end of the day, if they didn't end up running at all, then that killled my entire effort, which was enormous, to make it known throughout the site about the awards, which are a day away from voting for Windows Mobile -- and then on December 31st, Nominations begin for all 5 of the major Touchscreen operating systems OTHER than windows mobile:

ANDROID

iOS

webOS

BLACKBERRY

WINDOWS PHONE 7 (though they really do not merit any awards for 2010; not enough development).

*** I am probably going to add SYMBIAN... it's getting new life via NOKIA, and they have largest market penetration of all. Any thoughts?

THOSE NOMINATIONS WILL ALL HAPPEN AT SAME TIME and in much more sophisticated way that WinMo happened here at XDA site earlier this year. They will be web form based, and specific to each touchscreen OS. We have a social media team that is going to work all the major development forums to make sure developers know about the nominations so they nominate their own works/apps. These nominations will run for 5 weeks, thus, all through month om January 2011.

thanks!
