If your SIM isn't recognized, take it out and reflash the firmware, then reinsert it once that's done. As for the boot screen still showing i9000, it shouldn't if you flashed the stock firmware. It may fix itself once you flash it again to fix the SIM card.

Hmm, okay, I tried re-flashing it with a one-click-stock executable java file which works, but the GT i9000 still pops first. I'm not sure I understand the technical details to figure out what the problem is. In what order do things load on a device like this? Is there a BIOS version that I may have flashed with the heimdall program that is not the kernel? After the GT i9000 logo loads, the kernel loads normally. I have gotten the stock vibrant kernel on boot and also the devil kernel after trying to re-install V9 for the CM10 mod for the Vibrant. So I think the program I'm using to get back to stock isn't flashing all of the firmware, but I'm unsure of what isn't getting replaced back to stock to fix it. In terms of symptoms, I still can't get to download mode without the dongle - pressing the volume keys and the power key does nothing except boot the phone up as normal. So whatever firmware controls the volume keys when the power to the device is off - that isn't getting flashed back to stock. I'm sort of assuming and praying that that firmware is also the reason my SIM card is not reading.

Okay, so upon further research, my understanding is that the "bootloader" is the firmware that runs before the kernel loads up and is what is causing the Samsung i9000 logo to show up first. Would the bootloader affect whether my phone can read the SIM card or not? I found this thread for stock Vibrant bootloaders. My next question is, does it matter that they don't have the bootloader for the stock version of Eclair that the vibrant starts with. Do I need to flash the right bootloader plus the associated froyo or gingerbread rom to get it workable again? I mean, I guess I'll just try all this different poo poo and see what I get manage to get to work.

Here, do this: 1. Follow these instructions to a full Odin flash of the JFD firmware (which includes bootloader and radio) onto the device. This will convince your phone it's actually a Vibrant again. 2. Perform an official update to the Froyo KB5 firmware. A stock tar would work too, but I haven't found one that hasn't been modified. So just do the official method. This will put you on the lastest official software. At this point confirm everything works and you're happy again. 3. Optionally follow the CyanogenMod Full Update Guide to install CM7, CM9, whichever you want, on your Vibrant. Make sure to download the "vibrantmtd" version, since that's the device you have. mushi posted:I mean, I guess I'll just try all this different poo poo and see what I get manage to get to work.

ExcessBLarg! posted:That's sort of how you got into this mess (sorry!) to begin with, and I'm surprised it hasn't led to a brick yet. Anyway, as an update, the JFD stock flash didn't fix the bootloader problem - apparently that package does not include the bootloader. But the bootloaders are backwards compatible with previous kernels, so installing via ODIN the Froyo bootloader from the previous thread I linked worked to get the phone having both stock vibrant JFD firmware and a vibrant bootloader. So I'm back to stock everything, sorta (froyo bootloader on eclair firmware). But my SIM card is still fried. Looks like I might need to go to my local t-mobile store and see if they'll replace it for me. Still not sure what could have caused it. The smart move would probably be to wait to install CM7 9 or 10 after I get the SIM card working again, but I'm not sure i'm that patient. Edit: so uhhhhhhh I'm I giant idiot and it turns out that sim cards work better when they are oriented the right way. Anyway, I got cm7 working just fine. Now to get cm10 up and running!

I'm trying to put JB on my Verizon GNex and having some trouble getting the ADB drivers to work. I've tried using the galaxy nexus toolkit to install the drivers, using pdanet and manually using device manager to install the driver. I do have usb debugging enabled on the phone. When I use pdanet it makes it through the installing usb driver and setting up network driver steps but just hangs at the installing PDAnet on phone step. The toolkit never sees the phone in ADB mode, but if I go into fastboot I have no trouble. Am I missing a step or what is wrong here?

I used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754097 under version 2.0 I put it on her phone Saturday night. So far it's running fine for her. She fixed the voicemail thing by either manually inputting the ATT voicemail number or using her own number (I texted her the two suggestions I found from a Google search and she said one of those worked, just not sure which one she used). Give it a try, I suppose! Haven't regretted it yet.

Just always wipe both, there's no harm in wiping the cache ever, just takes an extra 15 seconds to rebuild the app database when you reboot.

When going from one CM to another of the same kind (i.e. CM7 > CM7.1, RC > Stable, etc) you technically don't have to wipe anything but as Doghouse said wiping Dalvik and cache take no time at all and have to be rebuilt on boot anyway so I've always wiped both. The only time you need to wipe data is when you switch ROMs, including going from, say, CM7 to CM9.

Assuming that you're looking for stability the go to suggestion would be the latest Cyanogen stable then do memory tweaks as you see fit with Supercharger V6. Slap a mild OC on there and you should be good to go.

Right now I'm running AOKP which is working pretty well, I'm running the Devil kernel and have done the LiveOC along with some other tweaks that minimized the delays I was having but I still have issues with music occasionally stuttering and apps not responding.

Battery life is about the same, gps is fine, speakerphone is fine, torch works, etc. Only thing is it seems like the camera is a little more wobbly, but getting the much better UI, proper multi tasking, and chrome mobile was worth it.

(Not sure why it's not listed in the instruction steps.) So, just in case the kernel bombs on you, make a nandroid and flash it from recovery like you did the other two.

That way you just get a normal picture, works fine.

Did CM7 used to have a vibrate-only mode? I don't think it's part of aosp but I swear it used to be in </=7.1 stable. I used to be able to use the down vol rocker to turn ringer down, then vibe-only, then silent. I've clean-flashed 7.2 stable a month ago (was using 7.03-7.1 stable prior to that) and it seems like it's missing since. I cant find anything in settings-sound. In cm-settings-sound there's a setting "silent state" "add a state for complete silence to volume control" that was unchecked, but I could already do "complete silence" with vol control, any android can. Checking that box didn't seem to do anything. Unrelated, For fun (camera doesn't work good in them) I've tried a couple ICS and now JB roms on my phone (Inspire) and they all use a 2.6xx kernel. Is that a GB kernel? How does a GB kernel on an ics or jb rom affect anything? or does it not? I hear the kernel as well as some proprietary camera drivers is all that community devs need from the official htc dhd ics upgrade to get poo poo working good. Maybe kernel source, not just a kernel. But if we get that upgrade from htc would running JB roms with an ics kernel be anything like JB with a GB kernel? Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Aug 1, 2012 |

Wagonburner posted:How does a GB kernel on an ics or jb rom affect anything? or does it not? Eclair (2.1): Linux 2.6.29 Froyo (2.2): Linux 2.6.32 Gingerbread (2.3): Linux 2.6.35 Honeycomb (3.x): ? ICS (4.0): Linux 3.0 Jellybean (4.1): Linux 3.4 Now, the kernel does contain a few drivers and support code that can be considered general across Android, but that hasn't actually changed much since Android 2.x days. The bulk of what makes a kernel for one device different from another are device specific drivers and platform/SoC support. Which for a variety of reasons, is usually a giant pain in the rear end to forward port to more recent Linux versions. So it's often not surprising to see CM9/10 running on older devices with a "Gingerbread" (2.6.35) kernel as it's the most recent kernel version released for that device. It's not really proper to call it a "Gingerbread" kernel, since ICS did introduce some kernel/userspace API breakage, particularly at the input layer (keyboard and touchscreen support), and so CM folks usually do the minimum porting necessary to make those older kernels work on CM9/10. Also, sometimes a device will be "stuck" on a particular kernel version if it relies on proprietary kernel modules for which no compatible newer version exists, or in the case of Motorola devices, the kernel can't be changed easily (or at all). Actually, in these cases, CM has implemented "Gingerbread compatibility" for the few things in the input layer that did change. Wagonburner posted:I hear the kernel as well as some proprietary camera drivers is all that community devs need from the official htc dhd ics upgrade to get poo poo working good. As for the kernel, if there's already a leaked ICS kernel for a device, folks usually aren't interested in doing a bunch of porting on the GB kernel sources since, well, an ICS kernel source release is expected at some point. Sadly, that's often takes many months to "never".
