[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
(sigh)....

ok in Odin....as long as the phone is in Download mode...Odin has root access to the phone(technically) so just make sure you're in download mode...

Odin needs 2 files to flash a VIBRANT to stock...the pit and tar files...load the pit file in the PIT field and the tar goes in the PDA field..( i know its tricky) dont mess with any other settings...click start and WAIT

Odin is a flasher's best friend....learn to use it and you'll love it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
In process now. I do like ODIN although yesterday afternoon, I would have rather taken a sharp instrument to the neck rather than use it. I preferred to use ROM manager or other methods. I know it means nothing to you guys that have experience, but this is a learning experience and one I am grateful for with all of the experience on these forums. I know you devs don't like these dumb questions, but sometimes kids just want to be professional football players but end up working in a supermarket instead....get back to you soon.

it said updating firmware then it's sitting on cache.rfs for about 5 minutes. no green loading symbol like when I flashed before. Not sure if I should unplug and retry....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
waited about 20 minutes with it stuck at the cache.rfs line. Unplugged and retried. Same thing. I need to get a working phone at least for tonight. I tried one more time, but check repartition and it started loading completely. Maybe there's something wrong with one of the files? Not sure. Will update when I get home to my laptop.....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Use this version of ODIN (older versions are known to hang)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8863820&postcount=138

The files you need to get the leaked froyo + root: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

(IGNORE THE OLD OLDN VERSION IN THIS .ZIP - USE THE ONE I POSTED ABOVE)

1 - download the files to your pc

2 - open ODIN on your pc

3 - connect USB to pc (not to the phone)

4 - power off phone

5 - go into download mode (hold both volume keys... then insert usb to the phone)

6 - ODIN should be connected, and you should be in download mode

7 - load pit file

8 - load tar file

9 - click start

10 - it will run it's course, once done the phone will reboot

11 - once rebooted, go to stock recovery and wipe data/cache (I made this bold below for emphasis since not in the video)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I gotta hand it you guys, you really bailed me out and for that I am eternally grateful. I will have to scrape the funds together for whomever needs a donation, but it is well worth it. I have one last remaining question. Now that I have Eugene's Rom, am I safe to flash another ROM by update.zip, or is ODIN the only reliable way for me to get one on the phone. I like the phone better now, but it seems like it is an out of the box ROM, which is fine. I didn't mind bionix 1.9 on 2.1 either. I just made a big mistake. Anyways, thanks again, and whomever can answer my last question I will extend my thanks in advance!!

Enjoy your much improved phone that has a stable backup for an emergency.

I you need detailedsteps for this, read my sticky threads.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I dowloaded ROM manager last night and flashed recovery. I went to recovery and applied packages. I'm still getting this error that says the update.zip file is invalid through my e: drive (avatar folder). I just looked on both e and f. I can't seem to find any update.zip file on either card and I can't seem to flash any other ROM or even enter CW recovery. I looked at another post from someone and noticed that I never pulled my external sd card when I used ODIN to go back to stock or flash Eugene's ROM that I was suggested to use. Any formats I could try or tricks to suggest. I've looked around, but I'm not sure if this is a partition issue, an sd card (internal or external), or otherwise. Thanks again....

i noticed that there were a lot of additional file in places i didn't notice originally. I found in the CW file a recover-update and I thought that might be confusing things, I put it in a seperate folder and retried cw recovery, but that didn't work.

Quick ? Dark, Nils just changed to the six signal bar will this overwrite? I think it will but want to confirm :-)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DarkTharen:
yes, this version was just for the Desire Z Rom. If you want one for the Nils Rom then I will have to make one. I should add that I have not reworked the default 6 bar signal bar yet. But everything else would be changed

Sweet.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
Alright, so I am trying to use only a few of the icons rather than all of them, putting together a personal set. For some reason, I am unable to change the 3g icon. I have replaced all the data icons in framework and com.htc.resources, but for some reason I still have the stock icon when I boot up. Pulled both apks straight from my phone after flashing, and all changes are there, and all other icon changes are working, just not 3g icon. Any idea why? is there another change that needs to be made?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] greenro89:
my 3g icon never changed either..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Issemann:
Will these work for Cyanogen Mod 6.1? :confused:
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DarkTharen:
The 3G icons are located in a different place for Roms with Sense. It is still in com.htc.resources.apk that file is located under /System/framework/ I hope that helps.

I don't mind if people use certain icons just remember if you post a thread with them to give credit where it is due. The icons in the CI Premium were created by me. I did that so that they could have the transparent background
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
Oh I am not making anything for a release or anything, just compiling something for myself. But I did replace the icons in framework and in com.htc.resources in the beginning. That's why I am confused because I replaced all of the pngs related to 3g and it hasn't done anything.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DarkTharen:
It is good to see others customizing for themselves. I would double check that you for sure transfered the right image names into the files. In com.htc.resources uses a slightly different name. I would decompile the file and take a look just to make sure it overwrite the right images
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mb02:
I used to theme back in 2.1 and early 2.2 days, for some reason things seemed to be much easier back then. I have gone through both framework and resources making sure all 3g files have been replaced (properly named) and they are the new png's. The weird thing is, once I boot up the 3g icons are still stock no matter what I do, but the 1x icons are the new ones that I pushed in.

Hi all,

Apart from the fact that my headset has a pretty shonky 'forward' button, it works and allows me to skip songs - particularly useful for shuffle. If I hold the button down, I can fast forward (a feature that is particularly un-useful to me).

What I would like is the ability to push the volume up or down by holding onto the buttons - ie, instead of fast forward, it would increase the volume. instead of rewind, it would lower the volume.

what do you think? is it a possible mod?

I really need a 3 point conductive clip to deactivate the screen when my 18 mo old is playing with the unit.

Ideally it would be small like a binder clip. or chip clip. any ideas.

If I am right there, I can keep three fingers on the edge of the screen and then his touch wont do anything.

Wow, he just found a really detailed event log I didn't knowthe unit had... pretty cool.

Unfortunately, he is also very good at sending texts to customers with google voice. :)

Has anyone had success using hotmail on the Nook? I have tried the normal page as well as the /m page.

I have tried the Nook browser and also the Dolphin browser.

hotmail.com/m seems to work the best but neither browser will zoom on that page and so it is difficult to hit the links.

Is there an app for that?
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
Hotmail actually supports Exchange Activesync now, so you could check it through the (default) email client. I unfortunately couldn't get it to work with K-9 mail.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
I tried using the default email client on Nook but that didn't work. Thanks, peiziyu for your comment.

For the time being, I will just forward from hotmail to another email account.
[Nook Color General] Benny1234:
For what its worth, I got it to work with the email app from autonooter. The only problem is that I get notifications of mail in my junk folder, and I can only access the main mail folder.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staicy:
hi guys,

i'm having troubles to make an ext3 partition on my SD card. I've recently bought a desire which i successfully rooted. I also have flashed a custom rom (leedroid).

I would like to try other roms like MIUI and non-sense but i read these require an ext3.

Ive been searching for this for 2 days now without succes. Ive found many guides but they have all failed in a way...

NOT TO BE LAZY, like i said ive been strugling with this for 2 days.

But could anyone give me some guidelines on how to do this :confused:?. There is just so much info out there that its very confusing.

Thx in advance guys !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
You can try this using MiniTool Partition Wizard

You could also try you using an Ubuntu live cd of GParted by either burning it to a cd or boot it from a usb stick: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download.

Or, you use it from within Ubuntu (vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVK-tJe8pXE&feature=related)

1) Connect your phone to your computer (or use an SD Card adapter...., in this case skip to 4)

2) Pull down the notification bar and mount the phone

3) Start Gparted

4) Gparted will search available drives. (Your phone should show up as a USB drive, and will be something like /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1, etc..)

Warning: double-check you've not selected a hdd by mistake!

5) In the upper right corner, select the correct USB device for your phone. (i.e. check to make sure it is correct size for your SD card)

6) Right click on each partition and select 'unmount'

7) Right click on each partition and select 'delete'

If you know what you are doing, you can re-size the partitions and add a new 2nd partition formatted as ext2/3/4

8) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'

9) Enter configurations

Free Space preceding = 0

Create as = Primary

New size = [don't touch]

File system = fat32

Free Space Following = 512 (or whatever you want)

10) Click add

11) Right click on the big gray bar (should say unallocated x.xx gb) and click 'new'

12) Enter configurations

Free Space preceding = 0

Create as = Primary

New size = [don't touch]

File system = ext2/3/4 (recommend ext4)

Free Space Following = 0 (or ~32 if you want swap)

Click add

13) Click edit, then 'Apply All Operations' to write changes to disk

14) Quit GParted

15) Unmount your SD Card

16) Reboot your phone

Another method via Windows using Pushfiles:

1) Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.

2) You will see HBOOT on the screen.

3) Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.

4) You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable and wait for 10-15 seconds.

5) Unzip the file pushfiles_windows.zip that you downloaded earlier, and double click on recovery-windows.bat inside this unzipped folder.

6) Once you run it you will notice, the screen of your device change to a green recovery image menu.

7) In the recovery image, select the Partition SD card option, convert ext2 to ext3. Done!

Pushfiles attached below.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staicy:
Thx for your reply.

I have installed "MiniTool Partition Wizard " and came to the conclusion that my SD card has an EXT3 partition :s. So some of the things i've tried must have worked...

But i got another question.

I have installed "Quick system information".

A2SD storage is total 458MB with 319MB free.

My internal storage is 148MB with 98,98MB free. (THIS WAS 138MB right after rom install)

System storage is total 250MB with 26,46MB free.

Memory is 416 with 124MB free, idle 34,28MB.

I thought that with a A2SD rom + an EXT3 partition everything would be placed on this ext3 partition on my sd card.

How does it come that my internal/system storage is decreasing?

I'm on leedroid v2.3b

thx in advance guys
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
That is because only your apps are moved to your SD card. Not the Data of the apps. If you want that, than you must install a data2sd rom.

An easy way to make an ext3 partition or transforming an ext2 to an ext3 partition is using amon ra recovery. You can find it in the android development. You install it using unrevoked (the same way that you rooted)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Staicy:
Ah so there is a difference between a data2sd rom and a app2sd rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
The way A2SD works is that it moves the /data/app/ directory to the SD-EXT (moves app data to the SD card partition)... however, it doesn't move the data/data directory, as this remains on the internal storage.

The main difference between A2SD and Data2SD is that /data/data is moved to SD-EXT with Data2SD, and with A2SD, it remains in internal storage.
[Nexus S General] rocketragz:

[Nexus S General] jroid:
were you rooted when u recieved the update?

Root will not affect your ability to receive OTA updates, the only thing that can affect it is custom kernel.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
may be worth a try to do *#*#checkin#*#*
[Nexus S General] Mighty07:
Neither me or the phone. :)

It won't affect the ability to receive OTA's, only if you change to a custom system version.

Note: Interesting, just run "checkin" to force the check and it showed me again the system update.

At least I'm able to read properly the message.

"This system update from Google contains important bug fixes plus the latest version of Maps."

in order to extract the url for the system update, we need to run alogcat from the market, then when the update notification appears look in your logs for a url that says something like clients.google . You can install alogcat, then set filter to clients.google

edit: you can even go into preferences, and have the log save every hour
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Hope the update brings fixes to some of the more minor issues mentioned (like blurry MMS, or random ringtone/SMS tone changes, browser lag, etc.). Looking forward to a list of what is addressed in this update. An update less than a week after release is testament to the benefit of owning a Google phone.

You should be in regular map mode. To test, go to washington square village, and zoom way in. To see 3d buildings, you have to be zoomed all the way in to the street level (for any city).

Power and Vol. Up doesn't do anything :(

EDIT, pressing back works and takes me back to CWM. Not signed, so can't apply it.

I also got update. I also noticed (in 2.3) problem with the call logging where the logging didn't update.
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I'm rooted, but when I tried to install the update I got a signature verification error from ClockworkMod. Does anyone have it in signed zip form?
[Nexus S General] clubtech:
You must flash back your original recovery before you update the system.

You can flash back to clockworkmod after the update is done.
[Nexus S General] Avinant:
Just tested out MMS receives, and the issue is still there. The picture looks nice in the chat window until you open it up to see a bigger version. Wonder if it's compressing it when receiving.

If you don't have the update yet, you'll probably get it soon. Mine just randomly told me I had it while roaming the Marketplace. If you want the latest Maps (3D version), I got it before the update by downloading Google Maps from the Marketplace.
[Nexus S General] somekindarobit:
Dang... that's just really frustrating. It's the one issue that's keeping me from really loving this phone.

All powerful super phone!.... ittybitty MMS.
[Nexus S General] :
*hundreds of people running stock n1 grit their teeth with discontent*
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Off-topic a bit, but in another thread someone's claimed they fixed the MMS low res issue by pushing a different MMS.apk. I asked him to say where he got it, but no response yet. I'm skeptical, since I think it's a T-Mo issue, not a phone. I'd pop in my AT&T sim to check, but I have MMS blocked on that account to save money.

I tried applying it now, from the .zip file, looks like it's trying to update /system/app/Gmail.odex is one of the files and since I'm using a hacked black gmail, I have no Gmail.odex so it stops the update process.
