i rooted the phone, downloded titanium back up and rom manager, tried to flash the sonofskywalker rom that is on rom manager, after multiple tries where the phone would just reboot to the way it was "stock" then i tried to flash it by going through the sd card i beleive and now it stuck in recovery mode and will only boot thru to the samsung vibrant screen then goes back to recovery, or when it is plugged in it just shows the battery sign but the battery sign doesnt say charging it is just frozen on that screen.

1st you need to calm down. You may not understand the steps if you panic.

The instruction in the link is good. If not, watch this video also...it's the same thing.

If did it correctly and cannot get into download mode, that's a different story. I had the same problem as you and ODIN it back with JFD fixes it. I got mine fixed from the thread below and watching youtube.

ok, calming down now, haha.

I have odinn downladed and the the other files it says i need, the only problem is i can not get it into download mode.........

Iv done it the same way he is doing it in the video and it will either take me to the recovery page or just recycle the battery screen back to me.....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
try this:

Take everything out of the phone

Plug the USB into your pc

Hold ONLY the volume keys down (keep them held)

Plug the USB into your phone

Put the battery back in should be download mode

Let go of the volume keys
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merchomini:
so when i do that it just brings up the big charging battery and it has the little sun dial in the middle that usually indicates loading, but it just stays stuck on that screen. Thats why im so confused it wont go past that screen.

EDIT- and i am leaving the sd card and the sim card out when im doing that correct? although i have tried it both waysss.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
And it does the same thing if you hold all three buttons down and let the charging indicator flash 2 times and when it goes out on the third time let go of the power button only?

If it doesn't work with that method you may actually have a hardware locked phone that you need a jig for..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merchomini:
yea it does the same thing, when its plugged in so far nothing will come up but the frozen battery screen......... im not exactly sure what a jig is or how to use it haha but when its plugged in thats what happens, and if it isnt pluggged in it takes me to recovery screen.......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
thats really odd because it shouldnt go to the charging screen in the amount of time it takes to bring up download mode.

Your absolutely sure your holding both the volume keys down and putting the battery in with your other hand with it plugged into the phone and pc... because it should skip the charging animation all together.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merchomini:
yep just tried it again, it boots automatically into that battery view..... i tried holding power with it to right after that and the screen will go black and then the little sundial appears and then it goes right back into the frozen battery screen.....

You may have to sign up but I think this is gonna be you option unless you can get someone more adept to help out because it shouldn't go to the battery screen.

Let me run thru this on more time lol

everything out of the phone.....

phone plugged into the Computer and plugged into the Phone...(no way possible to be on the charging screen without a battery....just sayin)

holding down both of the volume keys at the same time with your thumb...(not letting go of them for anything)

using your other hand to put the battery back in...(still holding on to those volume keys for dear life...)

and walla...it should be in download mode...

if not I think you may need the link above...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merchomini:
im gonna try the link above, i just tried it one last time and no go,

the second i put the battery back in it flashes up the battery sign..

at what point do i need to start talking to tmobile....... maybe i can gt them to say this one is defective and send me a new one???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:

I guess i want to install Darky's v8.0 firmware i just need help getting started.

1.) Do i need to root first?

2.) ClockWorkMod Recovery what do i need to do to get it installed? Just put in on the SD card and go into recovery?

3.) What about SIM locks? The phone is locked to bell.

My phone has Froyo 2.2 JL2 from Bell Canada and in the recovery menu i see 3e which i know needs to be downgraded to 2e.

If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. I read the tutorials in the samsung vibrant section but since that a different phone then i9000 i dont wanna take any chances.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
No you do not need to root first.

Go into the I9000 Android section of the forum's and into the speed mod thread and flash hardcores kernel with Odin using his instructions. This will get you 2e recovery and clockworkmod the program used to install custom roms.

After that download Darkys rom onto your SD reboot your phone into cwm recovery its the default recovery with hardcores kernel and the choose update from SD and select darkys Rom and that's it wait for it to install.

I would provide links and such but I'm currently away from my PC.

go here:

Flash a JPx rom using odin then flash this kernel:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
i was reading it all days yesterday both ways. But i can't find a JPx ROM that word work on my bell phone. Dose it matter that its locked? or do i just pick and flash?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Redth:
You can flash with it locked, just means your phone is still locked after you flash.

If you flash the speedmod kernel, you get 2e (as mentioned earlier), and you also get an option on the recovery menu to root the phone. I suggest rooting, I think you need root to generate your unlock codes.

Download an app from the market called SGS Unlock... This will generate the unlock code for you.

Of course if you're using Bell, don't worry about unlocking. Locking to a carrier as far as i know, will not prevent you from flashing and using other carriers' roms. But then again, it's so darn easy to unlock, why wouldn't you anyways?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
why not flash CF-Root v1.3? is it not the same thing and thats what it says to use in Dark'y thread.

So i guess find a JPx ROM use Odin and flash it and then flash the kernel either CF-Root v1.3 or speedmod and then flash Darky's ROM?

EDIT

I just installed the speedmod kernal, do i need to now install clockwork recovery? i think not coz its part of speedmod kernel?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
load it up with Darky's v8.0...then flash just the JL2 modem using odin, then flash the speedmod kernel (12M now I believe) using odin or CWM.

Battery life is better than when on voodoo kernel and the JL2 modem makes GPS better (all this on bell's galaxy s of course).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
i may go back to the JL2 Modem as well, just gonna test it for a few days. You should install 8.1 NO WIPE as well.

Do you just hit the PDA button in Odin and select modem.bin and then hit start?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GOTFrogqc:
Yes you put the jl2 modem file in pda and hit start
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bobbySteez:
JL2

Just to make sure, how do u get back to jl2? download mode and kies?

Btw I just flash the speed kernel flashing darky's 8.0 wipe then no-wipe 8.1

thx again for ur help!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GOTFrogqc:
You really sjould flash the jl2 modem since you dont get the 850 band

yes put phone in download mode download the JL2 tar and Odin. Start Odin and select the JL2 tar file plug phone in and flash away.

How is you battery life my phone lasts maybe 6 hours after a full charge, already had to charge twice today. I did have wifi enabled and have been doing a lot of downloading and lots of game play but it still should not last 6 hours. Is there a way to increase the battery life through CWM Recovery? i saw a battery meter option what is that for?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red5:
It seems no matter what I do, Odin gets stuck in the middle of flashing back to stock. Sometimes its at 20%, others its at 80 or 90%. It just stops and sits there (Ive let it sit for over 20 minutes in the same place). So I take out the battery and wait a minute and try it again. The next time it will stop in a different place and never finish.

What now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourname146:
Have you made sure your phone is in debug mode first, and that your sd card isn't mounted? This was happening to me when I rushed on flashing one night, and forgot to change it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red5:
Well I cant boot the phone... and I have seen the solid yellow screen, and the solid blue screen now while trying to flash Odin.

There is no way for me to boot the phone and make sure if the phone is in debug mode.

Sorry, I'm not a developer or programmer, all I know is the dumb obvious stuff because I've messed it up a couple times myself. The only other dumb maybe not as obvious thing I can think of is trying another USB port on the computer, one directly off the motherboard. Sometimes USB hubs or alternate ports seem to have difficulty providing enough power for extended times during flashes.

Thanks guys. Somehow, it meraculiously just finally finished. I let it sit there at the 80% for over 30 minutes and then it finally just finished and rebooted.

PostaHTC I see you made alot of posts I am guessing you just did TempROOT and you didn't invokes the sh command. Did you download the root.sh? If so after TempROOT to get PermROOT from console type in sh <file> make sure you have root dir under /sdcard

Can you tell me exactly what to do because I rooted my 1st myTouch but this one is acting crazy! I have all the files /sdcard my question is when you temp-Root the phone do you type the commands then perm-root? Like I'm lost
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHNS:
Well since you are up to the PermROOT I take it you have TempROOT, if so as you saying you have root.sh in root dir inside /sdcard so it would look like /sdcard/root/root.sh for the absolute path. Also you have console right? If not go download Terminal Emulator. Then type in "su" and press enter SU=Super User or @wheel,root permission base. Then use "cd /sdcard/root" press enter CD = Change Directory. Then do "sh root.sh" and press enter as sh is shall execute command. So it would look like this below:

su

cd /sdcard/root

sh root.sh

Now just do restart and make sure you have S=OFF as you will see it on top in HBoot screen. When you are back on go open Visionary+ and unclick TempROOT on boot and click TempROOT now. Then look below and click on Attempt PermROOT Now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PostaHTC:
I have everything I need the files and all...I have the files on the SD Card not the root folder When I turn it off it is still saying S-On
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STHNS:
Well in that case from console type in

su

mkdir /sdcard/root

mv /sdcard/root.sh /sdcard/root/

cd /sdcard/root

sh root.sh

If you don't want to do it manually then you can do it easily via FileExp go use Astro or Root Explorer. From what you are saying I have my money on you didn't properly do TempROOT. I say go do TempROOT again then try what I suggested for PermROOT.

UPDATE: Here I found you Youtube videos how to do step by step.

TempROOT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gylaXOCNzqU

PermROOT> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy_aqKoeev4

[Android Software Development] yeshaib:
I'm not sure this is the place for my post, please let me know and i'll move it.

Please feel free to share your thoughts (Good Bad or Evil will work)

Everything will be posted on my site www.inrim.net and www.yeshaib.com

So i’m going to share the next two three months of my journey….

Currently I work as a Project Manager for a software company and from time to time I do some development for my customers (Automation Scripts, Visual Basic and C#) but I really like it for fun…

Now what would be more fun than making a few $$$ (or as some would say “Coin” here in our southern area)

So? what am I talking about and what am I going to share and show? and why did I pick android and not iOS or WP7 or BlackBerry (note I didn’t note WebOS well maybe I did… you got me now.)

I’m going to start with Why Android:

1. Y’all have a computer so the cost to start developing is cheap (don’t have to buy a mac or anything of sort)

2. Android based phones are cheap if you want a REAL phone to play around with and I already have three (Samsung Captivate, HTC Aria and a Dell Streak on the way)

3. Android Market only costs $25

4. I like Android (although I was an iPhone user and still have an iPad…. simply get more done with an android phone)

So as i’ve covered the why android let’s move on to what i’m going to share:

1. I’m going to share most of my ideas but will start with two small App/Util (you will know soon)

2. I will share all the revenue coming from the applications and the website (AdSense etc), not trying rub it in if I do end up making some coin just trying to give you and idea of your ROI (as you time is money)

3. How I started and tips and tricks along the way (and BTW i’m really starting now I’ve never done any Java…)

4. Guides for anything I do and some source code that will turn into open source…..

And now the why am I doing this?

1. I don’t know

2. Sounds like fun

3. Hope to get some comments out of people to hear what they think of my journey (not that nasty Dodge… I drive a Merc and not that merc )

4. Still thinking about it

How’s this going to work?

I opened a new Site www.inrim.net and I will have everything Android over there (so we have a clean start…..)

Every week I will post a few posts (now I sound like…. just repeating my self) about guides where to start costs etc.

It’s going to be fun so join me there

So going to be posted in Hebrew at PDAPoint.net and my personal blog will have less information but it all started here

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberpunk0:
Came across F.Lux a while back and after installing it on my laptop tonight I remembered how huge a difference it makes to your eyes and sleep after you adjust to it.

F.Lux or Redshift (Linux's variant) reduces the colour temperature of screens to reduce the blue level, as when your eyes pick up blue light from any source, your body reduces sleep hormones (melatonin) and keeps you going as it believe's it's still daytime. Ever wake up throughout the night or wake up feeling groggy everyday? This might be why.

Here's a bit from the F.lux website:

"F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.

It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer. You could use f.lux because it makes you sleep better, or you could just use it just because it makes your computer look better."

So what I'd like to know is if an app like this is possible on Android?

Something along similar lines was developed here: http://jsharkey.org/blog/2010/07/01/android-surfaceflinger-tricks-for-fun-and-profit/

But this sets the screen to only use one colour to display everything, be it red, blue, green, etc? but this effect is at the extreme end of the spectrum. If our phones could be tweaked to about 3400k when needed this could end up being a really useful app for all of us who stick our faces in front of our phones at night!
