[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
Well I tried the instructions but nothing happens..it just sits on the screen with the androids skateboarding. I renamed the zip and moved it to my SD card but it doesn't seem to even search for it, let alone find it. Really wish I had not deleted storage. At least I had a working ROM at that point.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Which instructions did you try? Did you download FRG33, rename it to PASSIMG.ZIP (and not PASSIMG.ZIP.ZIP !), put it on the root of SD card and reboot to bootloader?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
Hey Jack...

Sorry for taking so long to respond...I finally had to crash for awhile, my brain was frying.

Yes I did what you describe: downloaded FRG33, renamed it PASSIMG.ZIP(not ZIP.ZIP) moved it to SD card just like any ROM and held down volume and power button and came to the screen with the three androids. Then it just stayed there, nothing happened.

The only thing is I had to use my backup Nexus One(EDGE only on ATT model) to move it to the SD card as I don't know how to access the SD card with the device acting like this. If I connect the device to my computer while the three androids are on the screen, I hear it connect to the computer, but nothing pops up allowing me to access the SD card....

Like I said I'm a noob at this :( I appreciate you trying to help me here:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
About 3 seconds after the 3 androids skating appears, you should see some text flash up?

It does say you're in HBOOT and not FASTBOOT right? If in fastboot, pick the bootloader option and then it should find the file.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
Hi Rusty

Sorry I somehow missed your post here. Yes I see some text flash up...takes a little longer than 3 seconds...maybe 8 seconds...

At first it says I'm in Fastboot, but then I press the power button and then it says HBOOT at the top.....that's when the text flashes on the screen. It flashes too fast for me to read it though....but nothing happens after the text flashes on the screen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
I'll be damned guys....I got it working! After responding to Rusty's post above, I decided to give the whole thing another try. Well I went thru the whole process of putting the file on the SD card and realized I had in fact renamed it zip.zip....it LOOKED like it was only ZIP, but when I clicked on the file while it was still on my PC, it said it was zip.zip...that's when I knew what the problem was.

My problem now is getting it re-rooted. Originally I used the Universal Androot application..the true one-click method...I just tried it again and it didn't work.

Is there a way to downgrade to a version where this app will work again?

Thanks guys you really helped me out here!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Please read the guide in Wiki, and follow one of the zillion SuperOneClick threads that are around. It's really as simple as it gets - and if you happen to have Windows 7, it's even more simple - you won't need to install the drivers.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
Yup I'm already rooted!!! Thanks man!!!! Took 12 minutes!! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
Okay I'm having another issue: SuperOneClick said I was rooted,I have the superuser icon in my app drawer, but ROM manager will not flash Clockwork mod recovery and Titanium Backup says I do not have root rights??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
well I rebooted and now have root rights but am still getting an error when I try and flash clockwork mod: it says: "an error occurred while flashing your recovery"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Do you have Busybox installed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
You're going to think I'm a dip**** but I don't even know what busybox is?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Let's just say it's an app that the system needs :) Go to Market, download and install it, try again. If it doesn't work - you can try to install custom recovery manually, using another guide from Wiki. Look in "Installing Recovery" for "For locked bootloader - flash_image using Terminal" guide. If you don't know what Terminal is - download "Android Terminal" by Jack Palevich from the Market.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Use the fix problems button in Titanium Backup to install it, long story short is it lets you use a bunch of native Linux commands that as missing from Android.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikwervo:
hey guys im from indonesia. love the nexus series phone as my daily phone. the thing is just as the previous one, it has no sim toolkit in it. while for me, mobile banking is quite a must. anybody know what ROM that include a working sim toolkit for the nexus s? any help will be much appreciated. thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:

Hi allgamer mate, is the stk work on that ROM? Last time i flashed the latest build but all i can get was the stk installed on the system but there's no icon in the drawer. So i cant use it. Am i missed something? Thanks for your help though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirius b:
On Starhub and SingTel in Singapore, both my NEXUS ONE & my NEXUS S showed a sim tool kit when I inserted the Starhub sim card into either phone. Now that said that was Starhub. The SingTel did the same on my nexus one and my girlfriends Samsung Vibrant 2.1 and 2.2.1, and her NEXUS S. The vibrant was stock and my NEXUS ONE was in many phases there while I was in Singapore, rooted with cyanongen mod 6.1, stock 2.2.1, baked ASOP gingerbread, and finally CM7 nightlys. Both NEXUS S phones are stock.

Hope this helps.
[Vibrant Accessories] lokhor:
So apparently the Vibrant 4G will have a 1650mah battery

see: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/02/t-mobile-promises-samsung-galaxy-s-4g-for-launch-this-month/

If it does will you be getting one for your Vibrant? (assuming it fits)
[Vibrant Accessories] Spartoi:
If I wanted to upgrade my battery (which I already have), I would get something actually significant (like 3000 MAH), instead of a 150 MAH increase.
[Vibrant Accessories] lokhor:
If you follow this thread in the Captivate forums: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906611

you will see that extended batteries don't live up to their rated capacity. I think a real extra 150mah would make a fairly decent difference in life.
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Yay! Armani battery is in the 4G. This means cheap batteries for us!

Nice.

I'm getting one. My original 1500mah is 6 months old now with daily or more charging. This will be good.
[Vibrant Accessories] Spartoi:
I have an extended battery (3000 MAH) and it has significantly improved my battery life.

/realworldexperience
[Vibrant Accessories] ZombieDude00:
But is it twice as good? On my stock battery I have managed to last 24 hours with normal phone use. good enough for me

Enjoy your brick phone lol
[Vibrant Accessories] donalgodon:
I tend to think that the Samsung original batteries perform better, and my reading on the topic seems to bear this out. As such, I'd be interested in such a battery, if it would fit my Vibrant. The small upgrade in power on paper would probably translate into better life than the small bump indicates. My Samsung battery lasts pretty long.
[Vibrant Accessories] Spartoi:
With normal use, I get about 1% drain an hour. :)

The battery doesn't even make the phone that big, and I happen to love its size. The vibrant feels far too thin for my large hands, and the 'brick' makes it fit perfectly (especially while in landscape).

Why not just buy an extended battery off Ebay for like $10 and try one out yourself? Based off personal experience, and the reviews from the Extended Battery Review thread, you will see just about everyone has much better battery life with the bigger batteries.

I really doubt you will get much more battery life with an increase of 150 MAH.
[Vibrant Accessories] Stevenjcarney:
I second this notion!

I'm sitting here, 3:13 am, and my phone's been unplugged(And decently used for my habits) for almost 20 hours. I've got.. 28% left. The size is actually decent, and just a tad more heavy. For 14$ you really can't go wrong here.

help, ive tried to root so many times using the superoneclick rooting method, and i dont know why it isnt working, im usb debugging, and everytime, the program stops at waiting for device and then stops responding, i have to force close it cuz it stops responding. Ive looked at the forums but theres too many, and very little for the vibrant, ive tried what they say but come out with an phone not rooted. Can someone give me detailed information about what to do, and not just give me a link to a forum ive probably already read.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Do you have a android 3e recovery? Or you can't root straight up because I rooted fine with superoneclick root even after the 2.2 upgrade

Try turning off usb debugging once it says that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
*Copy the recovery found in the 3e_recovery_installer.zip* in system/bin

*Copy the keys file found in the res into the efs file

I'm sorry duboi97, can you elaborate on these 2 steps?

- What files from 3e_recovery_installer.zip do I copy and I don't see the system/bin folder to copy it to.

- Where is the res and the efs file.

I am not sure is I have a 3e_recovery but I just updated to 2.2 Froyo from the Samsung Kies

I have a Samsung Vibrant, I rooted with Super OneClick root and I have Root Explorer and Rom Manager already installed.

The problem I am trying to fix is "Reinstall Packages". I get the error "Failed to verify whole-file signature"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Okay well first off since you got 2.2 from kies you do have the 3e recovery.

Now to elaborate on step two you must enter root explorer>click sd card>unzip the 3e_recovery_installer> go into the extracted 3e_recovery_installer >click bin> hold the file which says recovery> click move> now go back until you reach the start of root explorer> click system> in system click bin> now click paste.

That should be good.

Now for the keys part...

Enter root explorer> click the efs folder> scroll down a little until you reach a file with the name keys> hold the keys file and wait until there is an option prompt> click move> now go to the start of root explorer> scroll down a little until you reach res> click res> paste the keys file in there.

That should clarify that for you. :o

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Try switching usb port or try a different wire. This never happened to me before. Try z4root to root or androot. There is also a universal galaxy s root which I haven't tried. Its essential to get superuser to work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marco082892:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdcooper:
Let me tell you the most absolute simple way to root the vibrant, it is still by using the ryanzaOCLF apk. The new version has the root option taken away but if you go to 4shared.com and search for "onclicklagfix.apk" you will get a list of download options. The curent version is 2.0 so I used version 1.3 I believe. Just instal the app, open it. Click "root", then fire it up, then it will prompt you to reboot into recovery. Which is the most complicated step but still very easy to do.

Power it off, then press and hold volume up and down at the same time, while still holding them down; press and hold the power button. The Vibrant logo will flash once and dissapear, keep holding them. When you see it flash the second time release and a few secondss later the phone will boot into recovery. Highlight "reinstall packages" by using the volume buttons and select it with the power button. It will install and reboot. When it does you will have the superuser app and will have root. Just get it from 4shared.com follow the directions, and don't forget how to get into recovery. It is simple. Plus it is the ONLY way I could get this vibrant rooted less than 4 hours ago. and it has worked numerous times in the past. Goodluck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
The new 3e recovery doesn't allow you to install update.zip so that method would not work. If it were a 2e recovery it would work. Sorry to be a smart a$$
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
Thanks duboi97

It worked, I think? I did not get the error "Failed to verify whole-file signature" after "reinstalling packages" but I also did not see the progress bar. Everything happened fast and at the end I got the following:

- movi_checking done! ...

- update media, finished

- install default apk-files, finished

So tell me, am I good to go and am I fully rooted or am I still Shell Rooted?

What is the difference between Rooted and Shell Root?

BTW: in your 1st reply to me I think you meant to say "copy the keys file from the res folder to the efs folder" and not vice versa. The reason I noticed was because there was no keys file in the efs folder.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
Why all these crazy tutorials.

Grab the Update.zip

Boot into recovery.

And flash the update.zip file.

U may have to try it a few times.

If u see Superuser installed. Ur good.

All that click this download that do this is time consuming.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Well boot back to recovery and reinstall packages two times and make sure your able to boot into CWM since the update.zip should be CWM and your welcome.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
Thanks,

I did boot into recovery mode several times with the same results, ie no errors, quick finish only showing the progress bar very fast and then the finish prompts, so I think it works, I was just confused by the quick finish and lack of progress on the progress bar,

btw, what do you mean by "boot into CWM" sorry, I am a Noob to android.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
CWM= clockworkmod

Well download rom manager and flash CWM then click on 'reboot into recovery '
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
I reinstalled Rom Manager and flashed the clockwork because I notice that the "Backup Current Rom" was not working. I then rebooted & reinstalled packages (did both 2x) and now I was able to boot into a screen called Nandroid (with green words). I rebooted again, did a Rom backup and now Clockwork did a Backup from within the recovery mode. So, I have made progress, once I rebooted I checked and there was a backup folder in the Clockwork folder.

The only thing that I am worried about was the message I got during the backup, it said that it could not find external SD card.

Is this something to worry about?

If so any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Nope happens to me also since the clockwork folder is on your internal SD card not external and it says something bout ext SD card
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
Well thanks for the quick response and all your help, I really appreciate it.

In a few days I am going to upgrade from the Froyo 2.2 Kies update to the new Team Whiskey Bionix v1.2 Gingerbread or Touchwiz.

Have you updated to any of these yet and which do you think would be best?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Congratulations. Actually I use gingerbread but touch wiz was nice coming from a cliq with moto blur (sucked ) and a mytouch slide with espresso (fun) touch wiz was on par with espresso for me if I didn't want to lose my data again I would go for touch wiz. Its your decision I also use eugenes dead horse decision.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triniallan:
Well I never heard of espresso or dead horse decision, but I will definitely research them. Thanks again.

One more thing, I know this is off topic but can you tell me how I could receive automatic replies from this or any of XDA's posts. I don't know how and I have to keep manually checking this link for updates.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duboi97:
Lol idk yet I'm on my phone and hardly get on my laptop sorry but espresso is sorta like htc sense and right now only the mytouch slide + mytouch 4g have it. And dead horse is a kernel that gives you really goods battery life, its really fast also without being overclocked.
