I have one of those Legends that require a downgrade before you root, but I decided to chicken out and after I downgraded to 1.31 or whatever it was, I decided to debrand my Bell Legend and chicken out to get the worldwide Froyo OTA. Plus, it was getting late, I didn't want to accidentally screw up the rooting because I was tired.

Anyway, after I downgraded, I installed a system update that brought me to Eclair-update-1. I don't think that was a really good idea.

Because afterwards, when I tried installing the debranded RUU from the debrand thread, it resulted in an error and I have to keep what I have right now.

UNLESS YOU GUYS HELP.

What did I do wrong? I'm only still a kid. Hell, I thought I bricked my phone halfway through installing the first RUU because there was something wrong with the drivers, I ALMOST TEARED UP FFS.

Oh yeah, and wtf is up with this BS where you format the SD card to turn it into a Goldcard, and HTC Footprints just decides to move its crap into the SD card RIGHT AFTER I FORMAT IT. It's not important, but I was just wondering.

I might have been missing some details (it's late) so please post below and tell me what I'm missing.

Thanks in advance!

PS: Oh yeah, have I voided my warranty yet? Technically, I mean. I COULD still clean it up somehow, and make it seem like I didn't do anything to it, right?

PS2: OK, now I'm getting USB errors 171 and 170 when installing RUUs. I can't get out of the RUU I'm on. Oh crap.

PS3: I just got Error 140, BOOTLOADER Error. What did I do wrong here?

At least I'm at the phone's home screen now, no more unfamilar scary-ass HTC LOGO territory.
[Legend General] redarmyrider:
Basically the update to "2.1-update1" brought you back to where you were before the downgrade. Your phone is stock right now.

So first relax and get some sleep :P

Do the downgrade again. DO NOT UPDATE.

Continue the debranding/gold card procedure.

good luck

p.s. your warranty might technically be void when you install another ROM or debrand or root, mostly they don't care as long as you didnt drop it in water :P. There is always a way to bring it back to stock/unroot :)
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Oh my goodness I love you. I just noticed (while I was tired, wow, that's strange) that the strange ROM number within the About Phone menu finally clicked with what I've been doing! NO UPDATE.

So I decided to call it a night after I try once more.

So I downgraded to w/e. It was fine.

And I tried the debranding RUU. Then I got a bootloader error. I guess I'll try to find out what that means when I wake up, I'm super sleepy. (Unless you guys can help me 'til then ;))

It was error 140 or something like that, but it booted me fine to my downgraded ROM, so I'm good for the time being.

Good night!

EPIC ACHIEVEMENT EDIT:

Alright, I rooted it. Sweat all over the place, but hey, don't blame me. The problem above is still experienced by many people all over the internet, unfortunately. Too bad I can't answer it.

Just a question before I flash my first ROM with ClockworkMod: What about fixes? How do I flash those? Super noobish, but yeah. :D

With that said, from what you posted, it sounds like you need to flash a recovery image. The people on the hero g2 forums should be able to point you in the right direction. :)

[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
Hi im a lil confused because some ppl say that they received replacement vibrants with stock 2.2 and a lot of ppl are running 2.2 on their vibrants... how are they getting the update.

Please do share.

THANK YOU!
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
the "official" 2.2 released will never be an OTA update. it is available either through kies mini, or from the KA6 odin files posted in the dev section (google xda ka6 odin).
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
So wait it has been confirmed by samsung or tmobile that its not being pushed over the air?

Ok and please please explain how do I do the kies mini update btw I have win7 64bit... thanx again
[Vibrant General] Cito11:
Download Kies mini. It should check your firmware and offer to update. Click yes. Done.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
you know, googleing "vibrant 2.2 update" would give a link to the tmobile forums where they have 2 stickies labeled with 2.2 upgrade.

Sorry if i sound rude or mean, but i refuse to spoon feed you any further than this post.

[Vibrant General] blizzard1017:
I am sure most do not care but I'll try to make this noob flasher friendly too. My current set up is just absolutely amazing, to the point I just log in here to log in and not look for the next big thing. Phone is quick, gps is reasonably solid for our hardware, connection is great.... Over all look, these themers and devs do some seriously solid work. I have 4 other friends with stock Vibrants and every time they pull theirs out I just cringe. It doesn't even feel like we own the same phone and I can't see how they function.

Anyways, after a weekish of playing around with my set up I figured I would throw out a big THANKS to all that put in their own free time on this. I have learned a TON and have enjoyed my phone like no other.

For those in question or that are new and maybe want to get in on what my set up is, here is a list of it all. I don't boast I have the ultimate set up but it definitely works for me.

Rom:

Bionix 1.3.1

Kernel:

Overstock

GPS Fix:

Heathens Fix

I used the Bionix provided modem but here anyways. Some work best for others:

Modems

Theme:

Splash of Color

Themed TW MMS:

Dark MMS

Pictures in all those will give you an idea. Can up some screen if you want but my layout isn't really what I want to boast about. It's the combined works of these people.

Oh and Appwidgetpicker which groups your widget menu together. Ie; SimiFolder will have one icon then a sub folder for a cleaner look picking widgets. Cqannot find thread now though.
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Great write up! I've got a pretty solid setup, but I'm sure there are plenty of people that could use this. I always wish someone would post the exact setup they have that they're bragging about along with links.

Thanks a lot!
[Vibrant General] xsteven77x:
Kinda crazy! I just got this phone a week ago and thats what my conclusion was on the best setup. Thats what im using besides the splash of color.
[Vibrant General] tphone:
I am glad that you found the firmware that works best for you. I think that I have to try the combination you post. My vibrant is running stock 2.2 software and it is unbearable. If it works normally than it is already a bit sluggish. But more than often, it hangs for about 10-20 secs before responding on my touch. Many times I receive phone calls and the slider is just not responding to accept the call, even though I swipe it in panic. I almost miss few calls. But the worst thing is that the phone now just dies in sleep. I can't wake it up with the power button any more. I have to press and hold power and volume up/down for the phone to reboot. Even so, it takes about a min to show the S screen. I miss calls and do not know, until people tell me they just called my cell and I check and notice that the phone is dead.

I don't understand Samsung engineers. They make this product inferior to the iPhone and it is not. Apple is all about UI, otherwise the product is not that impressive (heavy, break prone, antenna gate, no sd card, etc.). Why can't Samsung engineers create process priority list that make sure the phone always response to touch and put everything else sleep for a fraction of a second. If Android phones do not sell well, I think that it is because Android software engineers do not put the UI on top of their feature list. Why do they ask XDA developers to fix their mess and why do they ask users like me to have to spend time and a lot of effort flashing ROMs to make the product usable? Samsung managers and people responsible for Android need to get fired in my opinion. If they want to compete against Apple, they have to have the attitude that Steve Jobs has. Do not accept inferior results from your engineers.

Sorry for ranting.
[Vibrant General] Arkasai:
@tphone

You should really consider Bionix 1.3.1 if you don't like it you can always get your phone back to factory fresh.
[Vibrant General] JediDru:
Just to keep many options open....

I am actually on Simply Galaxy Sweet Honey 2.4 with heathens gps fix. I am absolutely in love with this rom and it is INSANELY fast on stock RFS. Been running it for days. I am so impressed that for my fiance as her entry Android device purchased another Vibrant as of today.

I freshly odin before almost all new rom installs. I first flash Eugenes gingerclone r2 and then Simply Sweet 2.4. I have heard you can also flash simply sweet from bionix but this is how I do it.
[Vibrant General] blizzard1017:
I was looking at Simply Sweet Honey myself but I really enjoy my phone right now and I kinda weighed out what it provides I would USE over what I have. Most of the physical differences I weighed out were theming and I customize my set ups either way.

I have been flashing my Vibrant since early MACNUT days, all these Roms have their own quirks but these guys do truly amazing jobs. I sat on Axura for the longest time until TW brought back Bionix.

Lol @ Odin before install, not at you doing it but it brings back a memory. I can't remember the user but I used to do this as well and posted it for some new guy as a suggestion and they wanted to argue for a few post why I was being redundant and waisting peoples times. Just an idiot... If I were to go to a different Rom I probably would Odin out fresh but build to build I just factory reset in recovery and go from there.

Also, I wanted to add to my original post something for the new users. Venture off into THIS forum some too. A lot of amazing apps and stuff that are posted here by Android users and developers that don't necessarily have Vibrants but do pertain to your phone and an Android device.

My home screen is the Bionix live wallpaper and beautiful widgets weather with no notification bar. I found an app called TxMissed that remains invisible(or not) until you miss a call or text so I don't have to manually check if I missed something and still can keep a clean home.

So hey, i got tired of that graphic glitch, extracted the apk and decompiled it and looked thru the xml's and found errors in 2 of them (icon_camera_selector.xml & icon_play_selector.xml) and fixed what png's they called for.. camera selector was referencing pngs in com.htc.resources.apk that were the wrong ones obviously, and the play_selector.xml was referencing 2 play png icons in it too, i copied those from the htc apk and put them in the camera apk and fixed the xml..

original fixed apk:View attachment 536211

my question is, how could something like this happen? from what i can see its almost like someone used some app or script that constructed this apk from scratch and it "guessed" what the files where supposed to be..? i dont know...

Don't using apk tool to decompile it. There are a lot of bugs to decompile the system APK.:mad::mad::mad:

You have using HEX Editor software like UltraEditor to modify the APK to fix the resource issue.

Well On the 1.84 Builds - The Review Doesn't work ..

You Get graphic error DURING Review ..

Your ONLY Option was/is To Turn Off Review ..

CMY Made a Ver That Disabled The Review Totally.

Most Important to me anyway Is The Review! I Use My Phone For Work.

And Its Nice To See The Pictures So I Know They Are Good ..

The send button in review - is a Different Issue ..

And I Never Use It Much Anyway .. Would Be Nice If It Got Fixed :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pyrorob:
well, i dont know what to say, i decompiled it with no issues, i identified 2 xml's that were using resources in the htc resource apk, fixed those xmls to point to the right ones in the camera apk, recompiled and installed, and its working just fine.. as far as i can tell it had no built in dependence towards the htc resource apk..

well the build im working with right now is imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0 and its based on the 1.84 oem build, so thats what this camera apk is from and fixed for, i know about cmy's fix, which really isnt, since like you said all it does is disable review, this fixes that...

I made a install bat ..

Plugin your phone to the USB

Pick - Charge Only

Unzip and run: update.bat

It Will Install the HTCCamera.apk

Install it .. and then reboot your phone.

If you see an error .. its because I also added a remove command for CMY's Fix ...

adb shell rm -r /system/app/HTCCamera_CMYLXGO.roms.apk

If the file is missing .. you will get a error .. Ignore it .. Its Because the file is missing .. No Biggie ..

ok, sorry to say i did all this for naught, because i found a camera apk from a 1.84 build that has a WORKING SEND IN PREVIEW!!

i was doing some stumbling around the net and found this site: http://android-roms.net/desire/, i download the "SuperRom HD V1.0" pulled the camera apk, decompiled it and noticed how "proper" everything looked in the xml's, so i installed it and everything works! Awsome-Sauce.:D

(and btw, i compared the version strings and as far as i can see they are identical, so if i f'd up here, please excuse me)

and also, comparing the files in smali it seems that along with a couple of files that have some code changed, its got extra files, which i can only assume were missing from the apk we have been using...

SO FOR ALL COOKS USE THIS FOR 1.84:View attachment 535696 (hold up on this.. i just found some issues regarding the camcorder part of it) it seems the camera part works great and even has a nice new self-portrait feature, but the camcorder crashes the app or freezes the phone when you hit the record button, it seems to only record successfully on mms size.. anyone able to shed some light on this? is there something special that is done to port the apk from the desire to the hd2?..

i was hoping to discover the fix myself and post it, but hey a fix is a fix.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cmylxgo:
