I have no idea, but I used the video guide from unlockr.com and although it took a few more clicks than one (not many), I got it done without any major issues.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Most likely there will not be 1-click roots anymore. Protection is way too sophisticated on these newer devices. However, I rooted my replacement yesterday and it took me less then 5 min (ultimate s-off, sim-unlock, eng boot).

Good luck.

Where are you running into a problem? This is by far the easiest phone I have ever rooted. It took like 5 or 10 minutes if that.

Im looking for something similar...the problem for me is I don't have a computer to connect to. Just my phone.

Any solutions?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captrobb:
I used Visionary+ with root files and terminal emulator and it took less than 5 minutes for permaroot, s=off. It really is very easy.

I also started rooting way back on a G1 and remember the first time rooting took me almost a week of reading up and more than 2 hours to accomplish just the root!:eek:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmayes1786:
Ok basically when I download the root.rar file I right click on it which creates another root file our whatever I drag it over to my sd and when I unplug from my lap top I open astro and there is the root folder or file or whatever it is so I open terminal emulator get su permission and type the first command + enter and it says something to the effect like sh file not found or in astro if I click the wpx or hboot it says they are not file. Can someone please tell me when im doing wrong with this root folder? Thanks in advance.....

You are running Visionary first and clicking temp root right??
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xrmancia:
I know that akaskriller.com has a one touch root. Dont know if its perm root or temp root. You can check out his videos on youtube and he has his own web site. Last time I checked, there was a 5 dollar donation to get access to the link on his site and it seems to work pretty well. You can email him and ask him questions and even call him. He's always willing to help. I think there's even a thread on here about him. Check it out.

Ok thank u for ur insult I will take that with a grain if salt. I am now rooted. Apparently there was a issue with my girlfriends lap top that is I could never get the correct root filer on my sd.this is not my first root anyway but the only only were her stupid lap top acted a donkey.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsunisan:
Lol, yeah, dreaming.nbh, that separated the men from the noobs.

This phone is stupid easy to root, grankin put out an .sh file that does it all in terminal for you. Much easier than when I did it when root first dropped, though it still wasn't very hard then. Listen, this may sound like an insult to you though I really don't mean it as one, but if you can't get root following grankin's thread, root just isn't meant for you. Once you have root, its so easy to mess up your phone if your not paying attention to what you're doing. All you need is terminal and VISIONary.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Couldn't agree anymore.

Rooting is a process that enables you to completely FUBAR your phone. IF you cannot get the directions down to root the phone. Then you really need to second guess Rooting the phone.

As far as the root.sh file and the unroot.sh files they are stored in a .rar format. You need a special unzipper to extract those files. I bet your GF's Computer didn't have that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] student.driver:
I've rooted a couple G1s, and my Nexus One (ha!) but I think the problem with this one is that there are several posts detailing how to root, and they are a bit confusing (where do I start? What do I really need? Was it temp or permanent?). Maybe some cleaning up of ALL of those threads and leaving just the ONE that truly details it would be a lot better (and listing if "ultimate S=off" is truly required). So yes, it may be super easy for those of us that have done this a lot, but for a noob the thread count is entirely too high.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
If you're having so much trouble rooting......DON'T ROOT. It isn't for you and you'll just end up bricking your phone then asking for help here.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecdy:
Do you really need a permanent root?

Student Driver is right when he pleads for a single set of instructions - the multiple sets are confusing for those without the experience to sort out the abbreviations, other shorthand, and implicit steps.

But permanent root might not be necessary for everybody. If all you want to do is eliminate the effect of bloatware on speed and battery life, you can use Visionary (free) and Titanium Backup Pro ($5.99). Set Visionary to temp-root on every reboot, and create a list ("label") of applications you want "frozen" under "Batch" in the menu in Titanium Pro. Then the user can remove the bloatware after every re-boot by starting Titanium Pro and carrying out the batch operation of "freezing" the stored "label." [It would be nice if someone wrote an app that did all this automatically--that is, temp root + freeze unwanted apps--on reboot right after Visionary did its thing] It takes longer to get the phone back in service on a reboot when you do all this, but there's no worry about bricking the phone or about making it impossible to upgrade, because all of the apps are retained, although not in use, and these processes can be automatically undone on the next re-boot.

This may be a reasonable solution to the effects of bloatware on speed and battery life for those who don't re-boot frequently and are satisfied with the stock ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
all of the guides are very easy to follow. If my wife can root her phone, and she has no Android tech background I'm sure anyone can
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Freezing apps after temp root with TB will persist through reboots. All work is done in /data partition which is set to rw by default. If all you want to do is remove bloat - then no, you don't need to permanently root.

PS. You might want to detach frozen apps from the market as well so they don't update and re-enable themselves.

Hi, everyone

I have problem on SGS

When I press power button for just a moment it's ok, the phone locks

The problem is when I hold it for 1-2 seconds: the phone vibrates once and then appears boot animations. After that I don't need to insert PIN, I can turn on the phone without that. Last things I done on phone was swipe instalation and battery mod installation

I'm running Darkyy 8.0 (wipe version)

Thank You all for help

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
Hi,

I tried flashing the phone with Clockwork. Part of the way through the flash it started writing in large letters going off the screen (weird text) then screen turned off, and back on to the installation progress, and then it shut off. No response from anything.

I did a battery pull after 10 mins to try to get the phone into recovery, but the phone does not respond to any combination of keys, battery pulls, and connecting the phone to the PC does nothing. The computer does not see the phone, the USB controller in hardware management does not refresh and show anything when connecting while holding both volume keys, and I have tried everything I could google.

There are no lights on the phone when pressing power, or any combination of recovery keys. Screen is permanently off.

Is there a way to force the phone to boot into any mode to get any recovery?

Thanks for the info.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
The T-Mobile Vibrant and the Bell Vibrant are not the same and are quite incompatible actually. Did you flash something for the T-Mobile Vibrant instead? That could be your problem. If so, you'll need to be more careful in making sure it works on the "Bell Vibrant" since most of the stuff here is only tested on the US TMO Vibrant. The big letters are pretty common / normal when flashing a ROM kernel, modem, etc. It would help to know what OS version, ROM name / version you were running before and what filesystem (RFS, EXT2, EXT4). You might also mention what you tried flashing and the version of the Clockwork you were using if you can remember.

Even though you say it doesn't respond to charging, does that mean when you plug it into the "Wall Outlet" as well as the "Computer"? They have been known to produce different results. If you can get it to show the Green battery charge screen, there's a good chance you'll be fine.

Have you seen / read this thread before? - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848737

Failing that, you might wish to try the USB JIG method to try to see if that will get you into "Download Mode".
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
I was trying to flash from Stock 2.1 to Axura2259VE. Not sure what File System.

Only tried charging on computer with no response. will try a dedicated usb charger.

I was using the latest version of Clockwork as of today (Updated from app store, Jan 5).

I will put the jig together tonight if possible.

The phone is a GT-I9000M if that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you."

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551

So, the Jig will not work for my situation. Anything else I can do? The phone was bought on classifieds and only bricked when updating.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Yes, that's the proper model # for the Canadian Vibrant. The US Vibrant is T959. I'm not sure Axura2259VE for T959 is compatible with the Bell Vibrant as the developer (Master) only owns a US model AFAIK. Try the dedicated charger that came with the phone plugged into a wall outlet with no extensions in between. Mind you, I've not troubleshooted a Bell Vibrant before so I don't know how it differs.

The Filesystem is RFS when stock, EXT2 if you applied the OCLF lagfix from RyanZA (not recommended) and EXT4 if you're running VooDoo. By asking about the filesystem, I was just wondering whether you had a lag fix installed / in-use before flashing. Does any of this apply to you?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
I have installed lag fix following the tutorial from the app store, but it was for the intent of rooting the phone, which was already rooted. nothing else was run in the application unless it runs the lag fix by default. doubtful. I do not think it was applied.

Phone not under warranty because i bought it from classifieds. Hoping to get it fixed myself so will try to assemble the 301k resistance between pins 4 and 5 and try it tonight.

Any other ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
I really don't know what else to suggest to you. However, installation of the lagfix was unnecessary to have obtained root access on the phone. Rooting and Lagfixing are separate processes. If it was both rooted and lag fixed then which app from the Market did you use to apply the lagfix? Did you disable the lagfix before flashing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
RyanZA's OCLF 2.0.

I had it installed, never ran the lag fix, so I do not think this is the case here.

Thanks alot for the replies. I will post results tonight.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitehawkx:
The latest Axura flashes the bootloader to your phone. I suspect this is what the problem is and why you are unable to recover from it. I know absolutely nothing about the Bell Vibrant, but flashing a bootloader will affect how you get into recovery/download mode [I THINK]. You could try entering download mode the way U.S. Vibrant owners do, but I'm not sure if it will help. Sorry I don't have any helpful information, just thought I'd note the possible cause for your grief.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Interesting. I hadn't realized that or looked to see if that was the case. That definitely makes sense. Bootloader bricks are the hardest to recover from IMO (if you can at all). At least, in the future the OP should be able to tell if any rom if going to update the bootloader if it contains an "SBL.bin" in the package.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
What?!? I'm suprised a ROM was packaged with the bootloader. To me flashing the bootloader is risky business. I'm not sure there's a way a consumer can recover from a failed bootloader :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitehawkx:
I haven't flashed the new Axura because of the inclusion of the bootloader [SBL.bin] and truth be told I was shocked when I saw it in there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
So you guys are saying that the Jtag way does not work? I am sitting here trying to connect 2x150K resistors to pin 4-5 and it is not doing anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
This method is to help you get into download mode if you are "hardware locked". In your case you have the wrong bootloader on your phone. At this point there is not much you can do yourself. The bootloader will need to be reflashed and as far as I know that's only possible with external equipment rigged into your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
I think other people were able to recover from the same incident. they just went to a phone technician(i don't know what do call that) and they just flashed a bootloader to your phone and it wil be flashed back to stock.

hey i'm not sure about this because i have only read about it and i really can't remember where because a lot of bricks already happened here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
Hard brick and fix not working

SO...

My vibrant is bricked, and I have my brother's vibrant to reference. (GT-I9000M)

This is a hard brick, with nothing showing up on the screen.

I have ordered the JIG thinking this would solve the boot issue, but with no luck.

I have tried the following:

- Up/Down - USB - Battery - Release keys

- Up/Down/Power - USB - Battery - Release keys

- JIG - Battery

- Battery - JIG

- USB - Up/Power/Menu - Battery

- USB - Down/Power/Menu - Battery

I have confirmed that the second vibrant that is working fine boots from the JIG successfully. I have also confirmed that the battery is working fine and tested on the other phone.

Cause: Battery pull on unsuccessful flash.

Please help! This phone has been bricked for 2 weeks and I want it back to working. I am out of ideas!

:(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I had my phone hard bricked literally 4 days ago. I called T-Mobile and now I'm typing to you from the new phone. Call and see if the phone is still under warranty. If not then you'll have to pay Samsung themselves to fix the issue for you. I don't know what they'll charge, but I'll assume no more than $60 since its a software issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
Bought from Classifieds so not sure if it is covered. I have contacted repair places around Toronto.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
Not sure if there are differences for Download mode but the I9000 forum might be better than the US Vibrant forum.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I bought mine off craigslist from a private seller. Its worth a try. The most they'll say is no. Just don't say you rooted your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ech419:
I have Hard Bricked my Vibrant too.

Shipping it back to US for replacement under warranty or any repair charges if possible.

Say that you bricked it while updating it to the official firmware via Kies.

Hope that they mostly gloss over the details and the rooting that you did.

Do let me know about your status.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patsfan73:
I bricked mine using RyanZA one click lag fix, none of the tricks for recovery mode would work I tried button combinations for hours and read a 100 different forums. Some one suggested downloading android explorer. I did and there is a command prompt looking icon. I plugged my phone into the USB, opened the command prompt, typed in RECOVERY, and my phone went into recovery mode I cleared all user data and reset the phone back to factory like the day I took it out of the box. Lost all my apps and info though...anyone know a good back up program?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugenek5:
Titanium Backup is recomended everywhere.

Can you please clarify how your phone was bricked. Was it booting at all of just showing a black screen the whole time? If it is not turning on the screen or doing anything, i will have to give this a shot.

Thanks for the contribution!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
This thread is a double post (by the same OP) of the thread found here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901380

Next time you may wish to just want to bump your existing thread rather than created a brand new one.

Also, for those that don't realize it...the OP's Vibrant is not a T-Mobile Vibrant Model T959. Instead, the OP's phone is a canadian bell model GT-I9000M, so it likely has more in common with the other European models. Any advice given here should take this into account.

Hey what is a good app to use so I can print pictures and webpages from my phone to a printer?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Printershare works well. You basically long click the url, select share-> printer share and you can send it to a wifi printer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
One of the things that all android applications (and the system itself) lacks, is the ability to print. As mentioned, there are some weird HACKS that you can do to make this functionality a reality (hackishly), but what would be REALLY cool would be native network printer support. There is NO reason why this hardware can't handle CUPS.

Note that you CAN install CUPS on the phone and it WILL work, which would give you the ability to print from the terminal... and this is relatively easy... but due to application limitations, you wouldn't be able to print from any android applications that I am aware of.... the actual functionality on the application side would NOT even be difficult.
