[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
I think this is the problem with what I'm doing. Wish I would have known this before hand since I WAS going from a 2.1 to a 2.2 ROM. Didn't know there was more involved with this than undoing the lagfix (which I did) than there apparently was.

So...apparently I have to flash back to stock 2.1 as stated beforel, then flash 2.2, THEN flash the new DoW rom (or, come to find out, Kernal) to get it to work?

Is there any way to save my root? My Nandroid backup?

And, once again...GOD you guys all rule. Really fast replies with good info...really really awesome and I thank you all!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonkahn:
At this point when you flash your phone back to JFD you will need to re-root your phone. Luckily this is the easiest phone to root, as im sure you know. So get back to jfd using odin, then flash to any Nero 2.2 by TW.. then flash the kernel DoW which enables the 1.4 GHZ clock speed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
Ok...so...Yes, I've been doing the whole Android hacking thing for a couple years now. Done my G1 (the original) the Evo, my beloved Vibrant (YES...by FAR the easiest! lol) and a few others...

But...I have just a couple questions:

What is "jfd"? Haven't heard that before. I think I'm J1...something now...not sure what it all means though.

And...yes...this phone is REALLY easy to root. I did it all on the phone, no PC at all. Very awesome...of all the Androids I've rooted this was by far the easiest. lol

Anyone happen to have the JFD odin file?

Once I get that, I'll flash that, then the Nero v3 2.2 I've been trying to flash, then flash the 1.4 kernal?

What do you mean by tw? Touch Wiz.....???

Again...thank you all!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
So...looks like I'm goin to bed for now. Phone's still not workin but I will work on it again in the morning.

If anyone has any feedback, a walkthrough, some info as to why this happened (flashed a 2.2 rom/kernal...I dunno...over a 2.1 rom/kernal?????....er something???) er whatever, I'd be very grateful. This form has been great so far!!

Thanks!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
Alright guys...I got it working! Flashed back to stock using odin and man oh man is it stock...lol

I'm having a different issue now.

I rerooted (so easy...lol) then reinstalled ROM Manager. It said I already had CWM installed but I flashed it again just for the hell of it. All was going well until I hit "reboot into recovery"...it won't boot into CWM. It just reboots into stock recovery. I want to flash my Nandroid backup that I made before doing all this crap, then try flashing Nero (which I've never gotten to work...says "error at line 10"...???) but I don't want to do ANYTHING without being able to backup and restore so if I kill it again, I'm not screwed.

I've tried everything...tried flashing the backup from ROM Manager, tried installing an older version of CWM...nothing works.

Any ideas?

Click reinstall packages twice
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Be sure you have the update.zip on internal sd card root, from stock recovery, reinstall the package, sometimes you have to do it twice.

Be sure you are in 2e recovery and not 3e, if you are on 3e (one of the new stock leaks froyo) you will have to modify it to get it to work
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
What update are you referrng to? The root update? Cuz I have root. I should just run the root update another one or two times to get CWM to work right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
No when you get into the blue recovery screen. Click reinstall packages til you get to the green recovery screen. You might have to click it twice. Meaning if you click it and it takes you back to the blue menu again then click reinstall packages a second time.

Hmm. Not sure what's going on. I think if I were you I would odin back to stock and start over fresh. I know its kind of a pain. But starting from scratch would erase any mistakes that might have been made.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
This is so weird. It says CWM is installed. I just can't get to it. Very weird.

I odin'd back to stock earlier today. For some reason though it still said I had CWM. How can I just get rid of CWM so I can reinstall it? Isn't there another thing kinda like CWM (ra or something like that?) that does the same thing? How can I put SOMETHING else on it so I can restore my Nandroid backup!? lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
There should be a folder on your sd card from clockwork. You could delete it then reinstall clockwork and try it.

Deleted the clockwork file and reflashed...didn't work. Still just get the stock blue recovery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Reflashed?? After deleting the file did you reinstall rom manager? Then try flashing cwr? Did you click reinstall packages twice?

Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
Nope...I did not. Would have been a good idea...lol

I just flashed the stock kernal again using odin...went just fine, reset, got to the vibrant screen, played the AUDIO for the tmobile splash screen (but no splash...still at the black vibrant screen) and it just sits there. Grrrr....

This is getting annoying...

I'm going to flash EVERYTHING back to stock. Kernal, rom, pit file, everything. This better work...

And as a side note. Id probably leave the dow kernel alone for awhile. I know its cool to say your phone is running at 1.4ghz. But there are some bugs with that kernel. And when you get your froyo rom going you wont really need that anyway.

I did this before and it just aborts since there is no update.zip file there. Is something supposed to happen?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
I have to be honest bro. Im at the end of the line with ideas. Im sorry. I just don't know what else to tell you.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
lol...hey, I don't blame you man! Everyone has been a TON of help and I'm beyond grateful!

So...I tried it again and I'll be damned if it worked. No clue why it didn't the first time I did it...or the fifth...or the fifteenth but, for whatever reason, the sixteenth time it worked. So...I'm happy.

Just one more quick question: I was running bionix fusion. I made a backup using nandroid before this whole fiasco. What would happen if I flashed that backup over this stock kernal/rom? It should work, right? Will it put the 1.2ghz kernal back along with everything else?

Again, thanks a million to asl that help! It's forums with people like you that make Android great!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Restoring a nandroid does not restore the kernel. As long as your not trying to restore your nandroid over a 2.1 rom it should work. So I take your not going to flash a 2.2 rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
I'd really like to flash the new nero but I've tried it half a dozen times and I keep getting an "error at line 10" error and it aborts. Any idea what that's all about?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Could be a bad download of nero. You could try deleting the nero file on your sd card. Then redownload it again. Make sure you disable any lag fix before flashing anything.

Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
I did disable voodoo.

I'll give it another shot.

I'm running the stock 2.1 now...if I flash my nandroid backup, which was also 2.1, it won't work?.

What kind of quadrant scores art people getting with nero?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Im sorry yes it will work. I meant to say 2.2. It should work since your on stock. SHOULD being the key word! lol With voodoo enabled people are getting in the 1400-1500 scores. Without voodoo around 900-1000.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
Lol...only reason I really wanna flash my backup at all is to get some stuff off the old rom.

Wow...I thought the quadrant scores would be way higher for a modded 2.2 rom. I was getting 1700-1850 on average (highest I ever got was 1926 and I got that same exact score twice) with Bionix and was expecting a new 2.2 rom to be over 2k, really. Kinda disappointing but I know quadrant isn't everything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
i apologize this might be off topic but what kind of temperatures is everyone hitting with DoW? I've noticed its getting higher every few days. I used to max out at 105 then it went to 109 and today i topped out at around 113 or so:eek:.... im freakin out whats too hot??:confused: i dont wanna burn my phone up but everything else looks pretty good. every once in awhile ill notice the screen flash a darker redder hue then back to normal... should i be worried?

Don't mean to revive a semi-dead-thread but thought I'd throw this out there.

Since flashing the backup and getting my phone working and all that, I think it was about 2 weeks before I started tinkering with it again. lol T'is my nature I guess.

Flashed Nero V5. Liked it: Battery life was awesome, the bits o' gingerbread were nice and finally having flash was awesome but it wasn't as fast as I wanted it to be. Again, this lasted a week or so before I said "alright...I'm gunna do the DoW again and see if it works."

Boy does it!! Benchmarkpi record = 992, Quadrant record = 2139 (screenshots to prove it, too!) Nero V5 + DoW = a BEAST of a phone!!!

Before you start messing with kernels, make sure it's not a program or settings eating up your battery. In my case it was an email program that kept the phone awake for a min for each email received. Over the course of the day, it added up to alot.

Use spareparts to check for programs causing wakelock.

So i have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S from Bell and i love the phone. I noticed it was laggy and thats how i found this forum. Today i downloaded superoneclick and rooted the phone. I have installed the lagfix and the phone is working great except for one issue.

Before i rooted the phone my wifi worked fine, now it shows its connected to the wifi but i get a network error message whenever i tried to use the market, browse the internet ect. My wireless router is working fine, another Galaxy S in the house has no troubles accessing it. If i disable the wifi the 3G connection works just fine on the phone. Any idea what i did and how the heck do i fix it? I dont really want to get involved with a repair from Bell at this point.

Thanks in advance for any replys or advice.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shadow65781:
Im no dev, but my undrstanding is overclocking is done in the kernel so imo yes you just need to root install clockwork mod(rom manager) in market and find a kernel supporting overclock, I would use this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870760

this is for captivate only misread your post firs time.

htc is more hack friendly than samsuck and I have an overclocked mytouch so its possible you just need the right kernel

Hi. Does anyone know how to access the Diagnosis Mode in an HTC Surround?

I can't believe it is not possible. I just tried the procedure for the Focus but no luck with that.

I just want to enter there and see if Tethering can be somehow enabled. I hate HTC for not even allowing backdoor Tethering...

Also I just realized that you can not change the Display language in an HTC Surround...

Check out the Developers Forum on the topic of Tethering. Seems that's not going to be possible on the Surround for a bit.....but is available on the Samsung Win 7 phone.

I am posting this hoping it helps someone with the same problem.

I had my phone resetting itself several times a day, finding it without all the configuration (people, email, carrier hubs on the home screen, etc.) and reporting the storage as 15.73 MB instead of the 16 GB. In the last part of the problem, my phone did not recognized the storage at all, no matter what I did.

Windows Phone 7 uses the internal SD (yes, our Surrounds and most, if not all, of the HTC 7 devices have Internal SDs but covered under the phone case http://www.anandtech.com/show/4015/htc-surround-review-pocket-boombox/8) as part of the Windows file system, it does not differentiate between on chip storage and SD storate, WP7 treat the storage as a big one, storing all kind of OS configuration (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2450831/en-us) on it (SD card). Hence when the SD problem presents, the phone resets because the OS can not continue to run due to data missed, and also this is why all the configuration (email, hotmail, also the carrier personalizations, etc.) is lost, because is stored on the SD that is not recognized by that time.

An excerpt from the link above:

The phone’s operating system integrates the SD card with the phone:

•When you start your phone for the first time.

•When your phone is reset to its original factory settings. This is called a factory reset. This is a task that is typically only performed by OEMs or MOs.

When the operating system integrates the SD card with your phone:

1.It reformats the SD card.

2.It creates a single file system that spans the internal storage and the SD card.

3.It locks the card to the phone with an automatically generated key.

So we conclude that the problem is caused by the internal SD not correctly integrated with WP7. In my case a factory reset did not help, no matter what I did the phone did not recognized the card, reporting storage as 15.73 MB. The solution involved opening the phone (I did not care to void warranty, anyway I am far from the States where I bought the phone and can not get a new one. But for you, your best bet is to get a new one, and make a factory reset as soon as you use it FOR THE FIRST TIME, and let the phone finish to do its thing). I had to open the phone, get the SD out of the phone, turn the phone on, do a factory reset, turn off the phone, insert the SD card in the phone, turn on the phone and finally do a factory reset. This procedure had WP7 reintegrating properly the SD. My phone now is rock solid, it has not reseted even once.
[Surround General] drumboy03:
Great Intel

Thank you for this! I'm glad you got it working as well. Based on your situation and results/ what the links you posted say, I would think that it is possible to take a different SD card, say one with 32GB of memory, and replace the one in the phone in the same manner that you have. Has anyone tried this? This is for future knowledge for me, as I do not want to void my warranty....yet.

Thanks again!

God Bless
