Thanks :) I hope that helped you

because before i found this method, there was no other way for anything to let the phone respond unless you buy the jig or you made one yourself

i ordered one but i couldnt wait it to arrive since i was running with no phone until i came across this method, and though to share it

It's alright I didnt care about clowns :) as long as it will help someone out there like it did help me :)

I mean I always get into download mode by plugging in the usb while holding both up and down on the volume rocker, but this method will be much more convenient. I'll definitely try it out later though.
[Vibrant General] samiriad:
My phone i guess is a newer version, wont let me go to download mode while holding both up and down then connect it the usb from computer to the phone

so this was the only method that worked, other than using a Jig
[Vibrant General] toeshot:
you can also use this guide for a true brick (No Jig needed. I know it works it is how I brought mine back to life.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848737

you could also use the Android SDK which has the adb tools which will allow you to reboot into recovery

you can also use this guide (even though you don't need all of it)

hmmm might write my own guide
[Vibrant General] jnutz:
Yeah but it would have been easier if he used the cucumber.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
my phone works with buttons, but the jig is still faster.

;)
[Vibrant General] samiriad:
I am sure the JIG would be faster, mine haven't arrived yet

and i tried every method out there nothing had any respond on the phone, until i came across this one

so maybe this will help someone out there with no jig
[Vibrant General] jhepoy:
come on guys, it's a good thing that there are some people willing to share their find.. i myself know how to fix soft brick vibrants different ways, and know my way around adb.. but i'm not aware of these batch files.. and i appreciate it being shared as an addition to my tools..

Hi again, I am having a serious problem

My vibrant was working and i was flashing the firmware T959UVKA7 using odin 1.3

once the update was done and it odin said passed

the phone is not turning on at all, act like there is no battery

tried to plug it to wall charger not even responding, its like dead, no power at all

i even tried to remove the battery for 5 min, add it again and plugged the jig

nothing is happenning, tried every combination of keys, even connect it to computer usb with no battery then plugged the battery, nothing, the phone is completely dead

Please let me know if there is any way i can make it to work again? or i totally bricked it?

[Vibrant General] oka1:
Thanks xriderx66 very nice and accurate writeup in total agreement with you.

The only thing I would add is the Team-Whiskey have some overclock roms you can play/flash over the stock nero should the user view their phone like a corvette in need of speed modification:)
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
Thank you for this write up,im sure everyone will love this.

It takes a very talented and patient person to write up such well done and accurate reviews.

Thanks again for your dedication and time
[Vibrant General] Terrier Hockey:
What are some of the other popular ROMs out there? I always here about Nero and Axura but seldom others. Is there a ROM that is basically stock Android for this phone?
[Vibrant General] soltheman:
Team Whiskey makes a variety of other ROMs that may fit that bill more closely than their Nero or Bionix projects.

Why someone would want to flash a nearly stock Android ROM is beyond me.

Just look around in the Development section.

Here's an example of one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870480
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Sorry guys. I was hoping to write a few more, and I will soon as I get back from my 7 mile cross country race so yeah ill add more, added axura and veto because their the best and most popular.

Bionix v commingle soon.
[Vibrant General] bartek25:
these roms are very stable ?? so does every official froyo :P and about battery life on TW for my phone was worst than stock ka7 just FYI .
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
note i said that battery life varies with how much or how less use.
[Vibrant General] bosslabs:
Bionix v is the best vibrant ROm till date IMHO. Great battery life,very accurate GPS, thats all we need for our vibrants rite..
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
i'd like to see a review of one of heathen's roms. i've been interested, but lazy... and not wanting to flash anything until ninjabread is available.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I'm sorry, i review ROMS that i've personally used and had experience with it for atleast a week, reviewing a rom right after flashing will give it a very in-accurate review and i don't want that.

but as i said, if you use a rom, and would like to review a ROM, just PM me your Review and i'll put yours in the first post along with Credits.

OT:

bionixv review has been added.

[Vibrant General] dandab:
This is the answer i was looking for. Glad I found this post. It's been a while since i flashed my phone with a new rom (Nero v3) and with the official stuff out from tmobile/samsung I wanted to know what was out there now. This post should be stickied. Thanks a bunch!

edit*

you talk about reconditioning the battery. can you post a link to whatever post you use on how to do that exactly? Thanks!
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Op, I just tried flagship v3. Trust me, you need to also. Great theme and very fast (1550+). I do wish voodoo was enabled by default.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Charge phone till 100%

Use all phones battery 1 or less %

Recharge to 100%

Keep plugged in at 100

Now go into recovery

Select advanced

Now click wipe battery stats

@S1 ill try it later tomorrow
[Vibrant General] droTurk:
screenshot or video??

How about a screenshot for each ROM or a video link so we get the feel for it before committing to it? That would be nice.
[Vibrant General] Emama:

Thank you so much for this thread and info. This exactly what I was looking for.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
hey guys, i'm back home, and as of right now, i'm flashing flagship V3 as a few of you suggested i do. I should have the review- ALPHA meaning a quick review up in a few hours.

but i'll have the full review in a week.

also, as some people said to put pictures and videos of the ROM.

The title of the rom reviewing leads to the official page, which has plenty of those, and it serves no purpose to copy and paste those pictures here.

For the people looking for the best and latest roms.

i suggest you check out the NEWEST dev team for the vibrant, Einherjar Dev Team

They work in groups and alone, and by doing that they have made many roms, that are both stable and speed-wise fast.

TW and Master, how ever, are probably waiting for the source to be released by Samsung so they can make their roms even more stable.

Just a tip.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Well hop to it. . sorry that was bad
[Vibrant General] WntSolstice:
Bionix is SO nice. I tossed that one on my Vibrant and *love it*
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Wow, Flagship V3 is my daily driver and now I'm hesitant to try another. really surprised by your result.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I may give it another shot in a bit, but it seriously gave me a headache the launcher pro backup didn't work. It showed some weird dock the one that came with rom.

Dailer is in korean or something

Besides a few of similar issues the rom was really fast.

Us exchange the speed of that rom any day for bonix, but if I could have the non-bugs ofbionix
[Vibrant General] jellette:
Interesting, this is the first time I have heard of any of these issues. Still sounds like ghosts of roms past to me - when you say you Odin'd, do you mean a proper full wipe Odin to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick or just a non-full wipe to stock?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I mean a full odin to stock JFD, following all your instructions, (clearing cache partition) etc.

you know what? because you bothered to answer, i'll re-try right now.

I JUST ODIN'D BACK TO JFD, AND JUST FLASHED ROM AND AM WAITING FOR IT TO REBOOT FROM WIPING THE DALVIK CACHE.

i'm hoping this works because this speed is just amazing on this rom. Probably the fastest rom i've ever tried, but if it persists the issues from before, i have to go back.

also Jellette, i noticed on this rom you included LAUNCHER PRO as a system app? I'm wondering why you'd do this? After removing it gives some FC's till i reboot, but i have my own .apk of launcher pro that i'd like to use. the dev gives me a .apk for every update because for some reason the first update didn't work, so i have to manually do it.

im testing rom out for my self, and i'll post results.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
hey guys, all is going good, but i have 1 MAJOR problem right now.

the SD card isn't being read i'm guessing because Titanium backup detects no backups.

and on launcher pro when i try to restore backup it says SD card isn't there or something.

Thsi is with FlagShip.

any fixes or am i doing anything wrong?
[Vibrant General] illego:
Make sure usb debugging is enabled. That is one thing I remember about the flagship rom.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
okay, now i'm ready to go.

Re-flashed and no problems.

Here comes the REVIEWWWWWWWWW

Edit: DONE. The Flagship review is done, but will update it on battery in a week.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
i've been given the honor of trying out Flagship V3.5 ALPHA

there will be a review soon, and yep. good stuff to come, btw, when you try this rom, you'll be shocked.

if you liked flagship v3, you'll just sperm all over your phone after seeing this (no joke)

thanks to you, i took the plunge and flashed my first rom (bionix V), after that i saw your flagship review and flashed it too. Great roms, thanks for this thread (i have flashed my phone once more since then, still on the flagship though, great transitions and margerinery smoothness). *Butter isnt good for the health

It would be nice if you had a changelog!, or maybe just put a star next to the updated/added rom

Ok, after some researck i thout i figured it out...found a link with the download here in the forum...downloaded directly on to my NC, tried to install with astro file and the es explorer, and now i get this error...."Installation of download apks not supported"...any thoughts?

~locowd
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
You'll need to install the android sdk and set it up(there is a guide here though I don't remember where exactly). Once you do open a command prompt and type cmd. Then use cd C:\"wherever my android sdk is located"\ platform-tools

Put the youtube apk here too btw.

Then type

adb mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

adb push Youtube.apk /system/app

adb reboot

once it reboots youtube should be installed.

There may be a simpler way (I'd presume there is) but this is the only way I know how to do it
[Nook Color General] aludal:
I have a link to EVO's "HQ YouTube" apk in my blog fineoils.blogspot.com. If your NC is not on Froyo of any flavour, it works like a charm: smooth in scaling out any 1080p clips/movies. Couldn't make 'flash10.1 for 2.1" work though, so many embedded movies may be played only by other players -- for now.

Use adb to install.

Enjoy and comment on your success.
[Nook Color General] locowd:
How do i know if i have froyo???
[Nook Color General] aludal:
if you ask big chance you don't have it :)
[Nook Color General] locowd:
Ok so i fixed the problem, but im not sure how! All i did was go to book tools, unchecked allow non market apps, then checked it again, rebooted and tried redownloading with astro, and it worked!!! I GUESS SOMETIMES THE SIMPLEST FIXES HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT!

Just recently I have noticed that whenever I unplug headphones from the audio jack, the media volume goes all the way down and I have to manually raise it. Anyone have any ideas/solutions for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Are you using a sense rom or cyanogenmod? On sense rom it does that to me as well, but if you use cm6 or 7 go to dsp manager and edit the headphones settings and it saves your preferences. Also try adjusting the volume settings in the sound settings instead of using the volume keys. I think this is what you're asking about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayryyn:
I am using MikFroYo 4.4. The thing is, this started roughly a week ago. Prior, I have had no volume issues whatsoever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Per chance might the quality of your headphones be dying? Or potentially a dirty jack?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayryyn:
Well, the thing is, it isn't when I am using the headphones. It is after I unplug them and use the built in speaker. For example, I use the aux in on my car stereo to listen to music on my way to work. When I unplug the Evo once I get to work, the media volume has essentially muted itself and I have to manually raise it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well if you're using a Cyanogen mod, check you sound settings in settings>cyanogenmod settings>sound

and check for the "when headset" in parameters, seems as if that may be the issue. The db could be altered via headphones in or out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ayryyn:
Well, I am using Mikfroyo 4.4, so I don't have that option.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Culverin:
I know this is an incredibly newbish question, but I'd flipped through forums and articles and googled it and still don't quite seem to understand it.

My question is why is android dependent upon manufacturer's release?

Take for example, a desktop computer.

OS

This is the core of the device and the UI between the user and the hardware.

Applications talk to the OS to instruct the hardware to do stuff.

Microsoft and Apple makes the OS.

ex. Windows 7, Mac OS, Linux.

Hardware

Asus, Nvidia, Realtek, marvell make the hardware.

ex. video, LAN, sound etc.

Hardware Bundler

Dell, Alienware, Gateway, Acer

They take commercial hardware and some OEM hardware and assemble it in a way that many consumers will buy their bundle.

For 99.9% of us, not counting Synapse, this is the only way the hardware is packaged together.

Device Standards

Collectively, the manufactures work together to determine certain industry standards ex. ATX, PCI-E, SATA 3, USB 3.0 etc...

Drivers

The manufacturers also make drivers so the OS can make use of their hardware.

Compatibility Is Determined by Driver Support

If the driver exists to talk to a given OS, then the hardware will work.

Not all hardware manufacturers will code for every OS out there.

ex. USB works on all OS because it's more established, but not every sound card will work on a Linux system.

Bringing it home...

So if Microsoft releases Windows 8, and as long as Nvidia releases a driver that works with that OS, then the video card will work.

Can you help me understand how the android phone architecture is so different that it's no longer

OS <-> Driver <-> Hardware?

Sorry for not getting it. :confused:

When in Europe I use an app called APNdroid from the market. It kills edge & 3G but leaves wifi and voice/text running. If you want to kill EVERYTHING but wifi, hit airplane mode then wifi.
[Defy General] curselayne:
I suppose it depends on your service provider, but if you set up nonsense information in your APN (i.e. it can't find a server) then it won't be able to access 3G data. I've set up 2 APNs on my phone, one to allow and one to turn it 'off'. Works like a charm.

Well, for me, anyhow.

I'm going to be changing providers soon to Sprint. I've been on T-Mobile for the longest time. Had a Nexus One but sold it due to financial woes.

Anyhoo... I'm looking at the Samsung Epic 4G and it seems to be the nicest phone I've seen yet on Sprint. I don't like the EVO, at all, and the EVO with a keyboard is too small for me.

Thoughts on Samsung? Thoughts on this phone overall? I have played with them a bit (a couple of co-workers have them) and, though I'm disappointed that they don't have the 2.2 Update yet... I'll live. I haven't had a smart phone at all for several months now.

I'll be getting it at the end of next week, if the Epic is what I decide on.
