The URL was different and the site was difficult to navigate because you had to fix the links within the site yourself. At least I did.

Worked for me just going to samsung-firmwares.com/firmwares.htm
Still does, actually... Title changed to Samfirmwares, so they're probably redirecting it now.

It was down for me for a while.

It used to point to ht t p://samsung-firmware.webs.com. (copied from my shortcut)

Yeah I think it was just hit or miss on how people either had it cached, bookmarked, or w/e. Either way a good heads up post for people who didn't notice this a few days back.

Good info, I was wondering where it had gone.

how about you start at www.verizonwireless.com?
Oh really? Get tthe hell out of this forum if you're going to be like that. I posted that because I've spent about an hour searching that damn site and no matter what I try, I can't seem to get to an email link. So unless you have something helpful to post get off this forum

Please don't feed the trolls. While poorly put, he does have a point... this was pretty easy to find.
Speaking of which - you need to navigate to that address manually, so:
1. verizonwireless.com
2. 'Contact us' link in top link bar (small, blue)
3. 'send an email' box (left side)
4. select the appropriate account type and click the arrow
6. 'send an email' box (lower left hand corner)
7. fill the form and send

I can't tell you how many times I've seen you tell somebody, "search is your friend," instead of giving them helpful information as well.

Telling people to search is good. It stops them from posting more stupid questions. Unless you were looking for some secret email address that cannot be found easily on the website....

In case you can't read, I CLEARLY stated that I had been searching their site and Google for about an hour.
I have been to the contact us page, I selected the most appropriate option I could find, and the site said that email support was not available for this category.
For the person who provided the email, thank you I will try that
If it helps, I want to ask them to clarify part of the terms of service regarding reasons they can discontinue service
I agree & if u have to spend an hour of ur life searching google on how 2 email verizon... I'm sorry throw ur phone away... I'm suddenly angry @ur parents

Now that os just disrespectful and completely unnecessary. If you do not have a helpful comment, go to a thread where you have one. Let me reiterate what I said earlier because you obviously didn't read anything I said except that one little part.
I go to Verizon's website, I select contact us, I select email and the most appropriate option and I am told that email support is not available for that type of question.
After google'ing how to contact Verizon, I get the www22 page that was also provided in this thread by someone who actually is here to help not be a jerkoff. When going through the categories on this site, I discovered that this was for everything but mobile phone service such as internet, home phone, fios, and the other services provided.
Now since you obviously know exactly what to do, why don't you just share it with the community instead of being an asshole about someone's question?

Asus Transformer NVFlash Stock 3.1 Recovery Roms

This post has been removed because I don't have time to update the contents and support people on this site as well as my own. If you need to revert back to stock and you need these files they are available at my website where I keep the files updated and try to support people.

Thanks zerofeel, it worked perfectly. I did it with widows 7 x64 and it took about 3mins for the nvflash and about 2mins for first boot. I was back to 3.1/US total stock in just under 5mins
MD5 - 6E3E5BC175B426CB0654659A2E1C4949 for nvflash_windows.zip
thanks, but could you also post the WW version?
Great!
A WW version would be welcome!
zerofeel said:
People have been asking for a way to unbrick and unroot their transformers on my website tabletroms.com, so tonight I built a set of NVFlash recovery images for you all to use. Please enjoy the fruits of my labor. This also allows people to test all the great roms and know that they have an easy way to get back.
As always a special thanks to Rayman, Bumble-Bee, and Roach.

Sorry but you forcing ppl to register just to see links is too untrustworthy. Will not fall for that trap.

I am an evil man for making you register to get the download links.... wooohooohahahahaha
How'd you create them? Could you do a TW version?
THanks.
Nice job and very helpful, but please post files somewhere where they are not throttled.

Plus side of forcing registration is the ability to sell advertising on you site if it has a high number of registered users.
Negative side is the liability incurred should the database be hacked and stolen.
Tough choice.
Would love to see a download mirror for the us and ww stock roms.
I'm running a paid version of vbulletin just like xda.

Note: By popular demand I have now released the WW version. I do not know if this works as I have not tested it and need feedback. Should work though.

Thanks for that I have made backups of my original 8.2.3.5.9 partitions I wondered what partitions your 3.1 image restores to get back to stock?

..I agree / is this forum policy?!
I registered and got the links. Either I am too naive or others are too paranoid
The question is now: do I just flash the ROMs with CWM recovery or is there any other preferred method? I guess once I did this I can root using the method shown here?
Thanks!
It appears the links are to a paid download site.

Most of these downloads are linked to a site where you get certain advantages when you pay for an account such as faster download speeds, no limits per day, no waiting before download etc. But I did not pay and still got the file in ~10 min. Why is everyone here so hostile all the sudden???
Good question I run a great community that has done a lot of good **** for people. This is the first and last time I will ever post my **** on xda. Nothing against the site, but some of you are real assholes. I run my community on a server in my garage and have paid for the server, software, and bandwidth and you make stupid comments. The software this site runs on is identical to the software I use and its not cheap. I have google ads to fund contests, get devices for people, pay for my overhead, etc. What do you all do but run you mouth?
Last comment I will make on this site about my release.

Making people register at a external site is illegal on xda. Not trying to be a douche but its the rules.

One-click Unbrick

Don't know if this is old news, but got it from my tech news app. It says it's for the Captivate but will work on any device that uses Odin. So it should work for the Vibrant. http://www.talkandroid.com/45252-one-click-unbrick-for-samsung-captivate-let-the-flashing-commence/
Great find. Hopefully this really works for us.

This could be a life saver for any and all newbs...Hell, it'll help veterans out too.
Always nice to have another tool in the shed. Nice find.

You didn't steal my thunder at all. I was amazed at how this shot out across the entire internet. 700+ downloads since 3july11. it just shot out of nowhere and on every Android website out there. I posted in the Captivate dev section... I wouldn't want to create multiple threads, also I wouldn't want to put it in the "general" section as it's specific to Samsung devices.
OneClick unbrick is "successful" but still have Black Screen
I have spent countless hours over the last three days trying to unbrick my Samsung Vibrant (I think the reason that it bricked that few days ago I rooted it, added Voodoo, then tried upgrading to Froyo; I think that I should have first removed Voodoo before upgrading to Froyo?).
In any case, after reading through many posts, I have tried two methods to debrick the device, both of which report "success", but NEITHER of them has actually fixed the problem: after the phone boots up and the samsung "S" sign appears for a minute, then my screen remains black, except for the lights which are on at the bottom of the phone.
Specifically, method #1 that I've tried is using Odin3 in order to flash a .pit file (i've tried s1_odin_20100512 as well as s1_odin_20100803 and s1_odin_20100513) along with the PDA file (T959UVJFD).
Method #2 that I've tried is using OneClick Debrick.
Both of these report success. But my phone is still stuck with the black screen!
Can anyone please help?? I am close to giving up and buying an iphone.
Do a search for flashing Eugene's froyo that does not brick. There should be a post with a walk through explaining how to recover from a bad flash when voodoo wasn't disabled.
