Bad Cable!

Success! Just went to Bestbuy and coughed up $20 for a new micro to Usb cable.

Successful Odin flash on the first try. I guess my cable went bad. May help some of you that have tried everything else!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromchaos0646:
okay so i went to sprint. after an hour and a half, they concluded that they couldnt fix the phone. so about an hour after that, they gave me a brand new epic.

got home and tried to charge it, and it wouldnt charge. so as said above, im concluding that its the micro usb cord. unfortunately, my moms pissed at me for having her drive me to sprint and wait almost 3 hours. so i highly doubt ill be able to get a new cord at best buy tonight.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lars1110:
so did u ever get it to work?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromchaos0646:
like i said, my cord is bad. so ill stop by best buy tomorrow after school and then update everyone further.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diego1985:
I'm curious to how your conversation went with sprint? Incase i f### up my Epic one day.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromchaos0646:
i pretty much went in and said the first problem is that the charging port is failing and once it died and i tried to turn it back on, i got that weird icon and it wouldnt turn on. they said okay and asked if i had insurance, which i do. they took it in the back and worked on it. i returned and they said that they couldnt fix it so they gave me a replacement. from there, we did the whole process of unsigning my old phone and signing this new one.

id say, got in there with an excuse. like musclehead84 said, say that it was doing an update and shut off and semi bricked it. im pretty sure as long as you have insurance, they will take it back and try to work on it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromchaos0646:
UPDATE: went to best buy and bought a new micro sb cable. just finished rooting my phone and now to odin to 2.2. will let all know how it goes.

EDIT: just finished using odin to go to 2.2 successfully! thank you everyone that helped out! im hoping that others can refer to this thread when having issues with odin.

Mac User

How would I go about installing the Modem&PIT without using Odin? I have not seen a version of Odin for Mac, but I'm thinking that I might be able to do it using the terminal.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmorf33:
Does anyone know what the Phone---Yellow Triangle icon----PC image means? It was referenced earlier in this thread, but never found what it actually means. I had that come up on mine, but can't seem to figure out what it actually means.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acid_Bomb:
my pc is not recognizing my epic help!!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
First, you don't install the pit. The pit file is basically a map of the disk so odin can adjust partitions. Next, there is a dk28 modem that is flashable via clockworkmod. It is somewhere in the dev section. And finally, I believe Heimdall is available for the mac. It is an open source alternative to odin.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acid_Bomb:
nevermind guys the god damn micro usb was not good bought a new 1 works great
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
ironically, and i stress.

IRONICALLY.

as soon as 2011 rolls around, i suddenly loose service?

and i figure it's a problem with the rom that conflicting with the radio, so i restore using Clockwork ROM Manager.

upon doing so, I first get a Yellow Exclamation point, so I restart my phone.

it goes through the process, and then it stays at the "Vibrant" screen for a good 20 minutes.

did I do something wrong? :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Were you going from froyo to an eclair backup? Backup's don't restore the kernel, hence hanging.

Most would suggest to odin back to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
no, it was from Eugene's 2.3 clone to stock.

and I already backed up my stock rom, but I think I used the wrong method of restoring.

like, I went to ROM Manager, Restore Backup, and I had a big exclamation point.

I let it sit for 5 minutes, nothing happened so I restarted.

It restored and everything, and then it just bricked at the Vibrant screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
to be more specific, i used this rom:

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=144

i backed up using both nandroid and rom manager.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
i hope this can be restored.

because it's not a critical brick.

but just a soft one.

it won't boot into download mode with the power button/vol trick because I tried it before.

it just flashes on a black screen, and i usually use cmd to do it.

but because it's possibly hardware locked, i cannot do anything from cmd because it says "the device is not ready" even though it's plugged in to my computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
please tell me someone can help me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
i think it's unfixable because of two reasons:

1. i am hardware locked, and i cannot boot it with the power key trick.

2. cmd can't find the device, even though it's recognized by my computer and odin.

primarily, my computer sees the drive i need to access, but i cannot connect to it because my phone won't get past the vibrant screen.

so, i think it might be full bricked and there isn't anything i can do to fix it.

but it's weird, because ODIN sees my phone, but there is no way to download the stuff i need from odin on my phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
sorry to spam like this, but i really need the help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmo879:
I've had this problem in the past but I got my phone back in september/october so my vibrant isn't hardware locked

I would keep trying, last night I bricked my phone while flashing a rom and I was barely able to get it into download mode...

Try this combo:

1. Hold power + 2 volume buttons while plugged into computer

2. Keep holding until vibrant logo flashes 3 times

3. Right before the vibrant logo shows for the fourth time RELEASE VOLUME UP BUTTON

4. Odin back to stock

This always works for me, but liked I said, my phone is not hardware locked this may or may not work
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
it's not going to work because my phone is hardware locked.

but i'll try. :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Try pulling the battery and sim and try odin again...should be working if you see a com port in odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the last option:
no it didn't work.

would i be able to call t-mobile and tell them that upon a soft reset, the phone stopped booting?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
Are you sure it's a hardware locked? Even before you flashed a custom rom you can't access the recovery through the 3 buttons?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Edit: see following post
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
You went from eugene r2 to stock? Stock meaning 2.1 that came with your phone? It definitely sounds like a soft brick due to kernel mismatch...
[Fascinate General] tonu42:
Look at this great support I got. Copy and pastied responses several times. Apparently we all should call the galaxy hot line or something.

To top it off, she HUNG UP ON ME. I was about to ask if an update would coem to fix gps. Oh well switching to HTC next time.
[Fascinate General] bwheelies:
I must say, it sounds like you were harrassing the rep.

A Guy my brother works with was just complaining about his Droid X due to the 2.2 release he received two weeks ago. I understand why the devs want the release but for the rest of us, patience will serve us best.

There is a GPS fix on the forum. Do some searching and enjoy the fruit of our developers' labors.
[Fascinate General] tallnerd1985:
Dude, you are a freakin ignorant dumbass. The only people that have info on the ETA of the 2.2/2.3 update are the Samsung developers and Verizon rom builders, not customer support. Please do yourself a favor and shutup or work a customer facing job to realise how it is to be not in the loop.
[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Dont worry ...Good news The iphone is headed to Verizon to save us all from the ugly robot they call Android.
[Fascinate General] Mean Bro Greene:
I really hope you're joking, but judging by the rest of your posts, I'm sure you aren't. In the admittedly short time I've had playing with iPhones, I can honestly say that they're absurdly overhyped. They really don't do anything better than any other phone on the market. Plus, Apple is content with repackaging the same thing(more or less) time after time with relatively minor tweaks and adjustments to keep their consumer base hooked. The iPhone isn't going to save anybody from anything, because by the time it actually comes around to Verizon, there be even more advanced phones on VZW(dual core, 4g, 2.3, etc). The iPhone will just seem antiquated by comparison(to the ones that actually give a damn about phone hardware/software) and that's an honest fact, not me being biased or a fanboy. This is just my 2 cents, it's kind of ridiculous for you to come and post that in an Android phone section of the forum. On topic, I have to agree with bwheelies. Working in an area where I have to deal with irate customers daily really gives me another perspective on things like this. It's really difficult to answer questions people have when the info hasn't trickled down to me and they continually press the issue and get pissed about it.
[Fascinate General] justin94:
I'm really starting to think that a moderator on here should create a general rants and raves section like Craigslist, that way if we want a good laugh or to read something completely rediculous, we could go there instead of it flooding the important forums. People like you should be banned from here. Do us all a favor and search next time, you will see that there are at least 3 other posts almost identical to yours that you could've given your 2 cents two.

so fresh and so superclean.
[Fascinate General] absens:
Honestly I would hang up on you too. Why is it that people are so rude to customer service reps? Just imagine if you had to deal with people that are rude while you're doing everything you're allowed to, to try helping them. She's not the company, she had nothing to do with the software or hardware or the timeliness providers divulge.

[Fascinate General] Mean Bro Greene:
I'm pretty sure you're directing that at me, so I'm going to reply accordingly. The only thing I did was reply to a troll being a troll. Wasn't really trying to rant, it just came out as that. I don't flood the forums with anything, generally my posts are on topic and direct. In fact, this is the first time I've ever ranted about anything. What exactly should I be searching for? Sherwood trolling more threads so I can just follow him around and comment? That's the definition of trolling. I've derailed this topic enough, and I sincerely apologize to the OP.

[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Guys The iphone will always lack in hardware sooner or later to Android.... a new android phone gets announced every day. But since the iphone was released no new phone has beat it in total hardware performance. And as far as doing anything better than android.....well it just offers more. what good is a OS when there are no applications on it.

Iphone wins in that area.

PS i was the guy that got banned for a few weeks cause i was handing out the Verizon leaked update to everyone...while mods were keeping it to themselves!! I didnt get it from them but they tend to keep things for themselves.

So your welcome, those who talk crap bout me, please show me one thing you offered....

BTW VOODOO the biggest joke in history and people still falling for it.
[Fascinate General] bbeaulieu:
There was no reason for you to be such a douche. I work in customer service and we can't stand people like you. You think we know everything and that we just like to keep information from you to piss you off. We tell you what we know, and we often don't know much since we're JUST customer service reps. We're not the software developers, we're not corporate, and we often learn about things just before you do as the consumer.

You're not even being a **** head to the right person. You should find the contact information for Samsung Corporate and get a hold of them somehow. They're the decision makers and they're the people who decide when **** comes out, not customer service. I can speak from experience, if you're professional and conduct yourself in a polite manner you'll get results. Once you start being a complete ignorant asshole, we do the bare minimum for you.

I hope you're happy that you made an innocent person's day more difficult because you wanted your stupid software update.

I can show you several things. You can't show one. Yet you are repeatedly banned.

[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Actually adrynalyne i just did!!! I gave out the Verizon Update no questions asked. You and others refused!!!!!!

I got banned because you think i need your permission to give something out!!!! I did people a favor and you held back!!!!

You offer VOODOO...garbage code!! Bricked more phones than god knows what!

Voodoo hahaha worthless and you know it!!
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
If you read the announcement like you were supposed to, you would have learned that you were not to release anything. But what do you read?
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Last I checked, jt1134 managed voodoo, not me. Nice try kiddo.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
You have got to be one of the most ungrateful P.O.S. that has ever graced xda developers. Your posts are worthless and most of your threads have been closed because your opinions mean nothing here. And you probably have like 200 posts to your credit but so many ****ty ones have been deleted you are left with 97. And you consistently disrespect and spit in the faces of the people that make this device better than what it was coming from verizon.

And back on topic.

@OP Threads should not be created while drinking. It was silly of you to think that samsung would have actually answered your question when it is the laps of verizon to test and approve device updates.

good day.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Verizon builds no ROMS, only OEM's do.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
There's multiple phones that beat it strictly from a hardware standpoint. You're just a douche and believe all the BS marketing hype and buzzwords that Apple feeds you, because like most, you're a tool.

You obviously don't understand Voodoo, so thus of course you'd knock it. Its a bit above your head I'm sure, most people that don't understand its architecture and what it does to your filesystems and the implications end up calling it useless, when its you who's pretty useless to this forum.

Back on topic, you were pretty harsh on this customer service rep. They honestly don't have access to too much specific internal development teams, and you're asking for questions that could only be answered by someone in those groups, or in the corporate dept.

Next time, try a little tact. They did however, say they WERE working on them, they simply didn't want to specify a timeframe since its that EXACT reason that people are pooping all over them now.
[Fascinate General] arelas:
There is no hope for you...go away now. As soon as VZW gets the iphone, you'll have all the wifis and gb's you want!
[Fascinate General] jt1134:
ahahaha...post of the year....already.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
This, and Voodoo 5 is so much better than the old voodoo. JT did a good job on it, as all of the devs do on their work. No one released DJ05 because it can be traced back to the employee that leaked it, and they don't want people losing their jobs, especially sine they are doing us favors by leaking. And, I'm sure they were testing it. Would you like to put an update on your phone, with no way of going back, when the devs have no clue if it is usable? I wish they would perma-ban you, Sherwood. You are so annoying and ungrateful.

And to the OP, that was rude. The customer support reps don't know much at all. She was directing you to where you need to go next. That's about all she can do. I would have disconnected from you.

I... cannot flash in my HTC Hero GSM/WCDMA. It doesn't get to recovery mode. Only a typical touch phone with exclamation mark image appears when I'm going in for flashing a custom ROM.

This is my first Android on which im trying to flash custom ROM. By fastboot.exe, i tried to flash roms, spl... tried to root it - but the error's always there : FAILED (remote: not allow)

[Windows Phone 7 General] vishalrao:
Hello,

Is there a good source for technical information about WP7 internals/design, like for example how the UI was engineered, how they do multitasking on the snapdragon CPU?

What I mean is, I'm looking for the kind of information that used to be dished out by MS during Vista development on sites like channel9.msdn.com where they told us about how they implemented stuff like a brand new networking stack, the AERO Glass UI, finer grained kernel locking and what not.

I'd like to know about stuff for WP7 like how they achieve the smooth UI with 2D/3D animations, techniques like state machines/whatever, separate UI threads, what developer tools they use to build the OS, and so on...

It was nice during the Vista days with Jim Allchin, but sadly since Win7 and Steve Sinofsky (hope I got the names right) they seemed to have clammed up.

Thanks,

Vishal

[Android Apps and Games] thecoo1est:
Hey everyone, Im glad to be a part of this forum, I just recently put a game together in appinventor. I used appinventor because i obviously have zero programming experience. I have it published on the android market. I would love it if you guys could maybe give it a try and give a little feedback on performance, I know it has bugs but they are very minor. I developed it with a huawei ascend with 2.1 but it should work with 1.5 and up, it runs decent on mine , Just remember when you exit game, hit menu button and choose stop & exit

The name of game is "Next to The Last Starfighter" and it has a picture of a blue starship icon

the developer "name is next to last" to, please leave me 3 stars ormore if you test it, even if it really sucks

also its free and no ads or anything, i just want some test done with various android versions and get a little feedback
[Android Apps and Games] thecoo1est:
nobody? heres some screenshots, its not that bad of a game, but its a little choppy on my huawei ascend when a lot of ufos are present, i would greatly appreciate if someone with a better faster phone could try it
[Android Apps and Games] Zori:
I tried it out for you on my Evo. The movement of the enemy ships is smooth, but when you tilt your own ship left and right, its very choppy and jumpy. The ships are also too big in comparison to the screen; when they appear, there is no way to get 2 ships at once or anything like that. If they were smaller, you'd be able to make it more difficult by making more on the screen, right now it's very easy to kill whatever is directly in front of you so you don't die just by spamming the shot. Give benefits for scoring well, otherwise we'll just run and survive. Good job, keep up the work! It's very exciting to see that someone without any programming knowledge is putting games out there, I hope this is the start of something big!

Installed on my Captivate running Perception 9.5 and runs fairly well.

Fun little game, great start. Gets a little choppy in the side to side movement and like the above post smaller ships would be great for more action and might help with the choppiness. And of course weapon upgrades for multi kills, etc.

Good job though, it is a nice little time killer. Thanks. :cool:
