How can I tell if I flashed correctly? - Vibrant General

Hi everyone,
I just flashed biotix 1.5 ... Or at least I think so. How would I be able to check which rom is currently being used?
Thanks!

No.. Thats what it is supposed to say on Bionix 1.5..
Is your theme "Blackish"? If so then you flashed it

i dont think so... seems to the same theme as TWlauncher and default background was the grass. : \ i went into rom manager and chose to install from SD again and chose bionix but when it goes into clockwork , there's an error and it says no rom exists or it cant be found. wtf lol im so confused. deleted it from sd card and putting it back and trying again now
same thing again... exact wording is E: Cant open /sdcard/sd/bionix1_5_JACS_OCUV.zip (No such file or directory) installation aborted.
What am i doing wrong? am i supposed copy the file onto internal SD or something?

help with Android

hello! i have a verizon HTc Touch / vogue.
and i reall want to put android on there, i have an old android where all you can do is text, but these new ones seem awesome ex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603028
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577186
but how do i boot these? i used the haret for the android i have working now, but how do i get these ones up and running?
Same way as you did the "old android." Just check to make sure you have the latest basefiles from SourceForge and load up a system.sqsh.
You can also do the partition system if you want to, but thats slightly more complicated. But still easy to get up and running.
hmm so i put all the files i download into the folder where my haret is and then i run haret and i put "system.sqsh" where it says "defualt.txt" and i get a error and it says "keyword: sqsh cannot be found" am i doing this right? sorry im a major NOOB
heres a screenie of what i have in my android folder:
Run the "default.txt" not system.sqsh
i have made some progress it now goes into the CMD and displays some lines of code but then it just sits there and the latest code line says "/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off"

I didn't rename it. It is it's own update utility. You run it from a pc and it will go through and verify the information on your phone and then will update. Looks very simular to the Update utility used for flashing the HD2. But it is not able to verfiy the information on the phone.
rename it pc10img.zip, boot into fastboot, select bootloader. Tell me if it flashes.
Sent from my G2.
There are instructions elsewhere to do it but you will have to search for the .zip file that the ruu program extracts to a temp directory on your pc and rename that file before you put it on your sd card to try it out.
If I remember correctly renaming it update.zip works fine in both bootloader and recovery also.
Edit: should be named update.zip when you find it to begin with.
would it not effect radio in the U.S? i mean the desire Z and the G2 user same radios? same frequencies? just wondering. the reason it doesnt find your device when you are running the RUU is you might not have htc sync
and if you do have htc sync i got a feeling it needs the phone to be able to have that option, i.e. when you connect up a sense ui phone it gives you an option for htc sync. but no harm in trying to see if htc sync can recongise your phones, if so maybe a chance with a gold card to flash the RUU
i don't have a G2 so i can't try. i have the desire Hd and the desire Z comes next month
So far gold cards have done nothing for the g2 from what I have read (could have missed something) and if it is for the desire z it will not flash to the g2. They have tried it in another thread with no luck with and with out the gold card.

Issues!!!! Evo Shift with CyanogenMod 7

I recently bought an Evo Shift that is running CyanogenMod 7 with gingerbread.
The guy I bought it from was using this, phone active, saw it with my own eyes....now that I have it, I can't get it activated with Sprint. They are saying that there is no option for "Update PRL".
Now, I don't know anything about rooting phones and all this jazz. So, as of right now, I have a $180 paper weight.
Can someone PLEASE help me. I've tried downloading the stock rom. But everything it gives me "Error 170: USB connection". I don't know what else to do.
Sounds like you got gypped.
Does it just give you errors all around? And for the price you paid, you should have just gotten it at a retail store (granted you would have needed a contract too). Maybe the guy locked it up or something.
I really don't know what to tell you. Sorry
Well as long as u can still get in the phone all u gotta do is download a sense rom from the development section ..I reccomend mikshift 1.1 .. then once that is downloaded put it on ur sd card ..I'm assuming u have one..okay so after the mikshift zip file is in the root of ur sd card u have to to go into recovery. U can do this by holding the power button and then tapping on reboot more options should come up and one of them should say recovery.I belive that cm7 does have that option....anyway once ur in recovery go to backup and restore and make a backup just in case.once the backup is done u should still be in recovery then wipe data and wipe cache then go into advance and wipe dalvik cache...then go back and go to install zip from sd card and choose the mikshift.zip file which should be all the way at the bottom of the list if u put it in the right place.so choose that and once its done reboot ur phone and wait awhile for it to boot up then go to settings and u should be able to update the prl

I don't think that's the case. The phone was on and working when we called Sprint. Everything was fine with it. But I guess to activate it from Sprint, it has to be the stock programming. Which I guess makes sense.
I didn't want to buy the phone with a contract. That's why I went that route. And that's by far the cheapest I found one. I'm sure it's a simple fix for someone who knows about this stuff. But I don't know anything about them.

Ok, I got most of what you're saying. The only thing you lost me on is when you said putting "the mikshift zip file is in the root of your sd card". How do I know where that is. I created a folder and added a zip file in there. But does it need to go somewhere more specific?

Ideally you want to put the .zip on the root of your sd (not inside any folders) but it will still work from inside the folder. Once your in recovery and perform a backup/wipe, choose install from zip, locate the folder you placed the file in,Then select and clockwork will do the rest. Then reboot and enjoy.
yes.. take it out of that folder and put it where all the other folders on ur sd card are ..in other words just drag it onto ur sdcard where it shows as a removable disk on windows.just straight into that
ahhh, you guys are awesome! Worked like a charm. The file I downloaded earlier was an .exe file. Maybe that's why it wasn't working?
Anyways, it's up and running!! I really appreciate with the help. I guess now I need to learn how to maximize a rooted phone!

Glad you got it working.
The EXE files only work if you run it from your computer, by hooking up your phone to the PC, via the usb cable. You would need HTC Sync installed, as well. Zip files can be flashed directly from the phone, through recovery.

Sprint Cant Activate Service - Needs Kernel or someting - Total Noob

Hey yall,
I recently purchased what I consider to be one of the best phones one the market (Epic 4g) for the second time and this one I bought off of Swappa.com for $100. The phone is in great condition, with ICS which my last Epic didnt have, and it also has cyanogen 9 mod which my old phone didnt have either. I have never modified a phone or rooted them or anything like that. But I like the cyanogen mod so I dont mind it. The phone also has the latest clockwork recovery.
But the phone cannot activate with Sprint because the rep says the numbers have been wiped from the phone. I read somewhere that I may need a certain kernel that mimics the codes or replaces the codes or something?
Can anyone point me to a stable, reliable source for a kernel that will let me activate the phone and keep cyanogen 9 mod?
Sorry if this is just a total f**#$# noob question that makes you want to pull your hair out but I honestly dont know anything about the latest software or anything like that. However I am very resourceful and I got this far, I think I can install a kernel if someone could just point me in the direction of a good file to download.
Thanks in advance!

can you tell me where to find the "temporary gb rom"? Also looks like I need the EL29 EMMC utility, can you tell me where that is as well?
And how to get mobile ODIN on my phone? Do I need mobile ODIN or can I use regular ODIN? In the video he said you could use either one...
Sorry again for the noob questions. This is overwhelming.

We don't have mobile odin. You will need to odin stock and the cwm recovery and nubernel so you can keep the recovery because samsung has it so stock recovery returns after a reboot, and nubecoder fixed that so you'll need his kernel. Then you can reflash cm9. Once the cm team or me include nexus s 4g ril and modem in a build, then we can make updating prl and profile and activating possible. With ours it is impossible.

There is no link inthe OP, there is a link in a quoted reply and while I got that link to work at home and began the download,I cannot begin the download here on my work computer. Is there an updated link anywhere for the stock el30 multiboot for samsung epic? Any clue why the download worked at home but not on my work PC? It might be a firewall or something so I am going to go home and put the file on my thumb drive.

If he already has CM9 then he already has custom recovery (and root, etc) All he needs is the multiboot flashable to temporarily boot into the stock rom. The latest version is FC09 - I'll see if I can link to that thread, but it is in the development section (Epic 4G development)
EDIT: Here is the multiboot thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...te PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 and AOKP
The OP of that thread contains a link to the correct page on the Epic CM team blog, in which you find full instructions, a link and the md5sum (definitely verify the md5 before continuing)
You will need your computer to extract the archive (most android apps for archive files seem to struggle with this one, and while I swear I did it successfully once, I have been unable to duplicate that result or find the app that worked), and it's generally easier to download on the PC as well to avoid a few quirks.

Yeah, I just noticed that TazFanatic had already posted it without a description - but the same link from two people is better than no links from anyone, I suppose
That archive needs to be extracted to your sdcard in a very specific directy structure. Check the instruction in the blog where you downloaded the multiboot, but I believe you should be able to extract to the root of the sdcard (with a computer, not your phone - I can't stress that enough) with the option checked to recreate the folder structure.
Once extracted, the actual flashable zip is found in the FC09 folder, which is in the multiboot folder (and may still be EL30, although I have an updated version which I was sure came from that page). Flashing that zip from custom recovery will not actually install anything, but it will reboot the phone after setting it up to boot the rom on the sdcard instead of reading the internal storage where your rom (CM9) is installed.
But as I said, that page should cover all of the details, so be sure to read it thoroughly and you shouldn't have any problems (or additional questions on the subject) from this point forward

Go to the settings screen (menu capacitive key, then "settings" on the touch screen - just in case, I don't know how familiar you are with android or the Epic so I'm just covering the bases, lol)
From there, look for the "storage" sub menu, where you'll be able to see if the phone is detecting the sd card (if you have the card in and it does NOT give you the option to mount or unmount the sd card, then it thinks no card is present)
If the phone is also not detecting the sdcard, then it sounds like the card was corrupted - you may have to reformat it, which will erase everything on it. If it is detected, then maybe rebooting your computer will clear out whatever is preventing it from detecting the card when you put it in the computer... but it sounds like you'll most likely find that the phone isn't even detecting it - try rebooting the phone and checking it again under storage, before you start worrying about reformatting the card...
Also, for everyone else following along - this is why you should not sell a phone with a custom rom on it. Too many problems, better to give the new owner a link to xda and let them decide if they want to take the leap

I thought you said the computer wouldn't read the sd card even if you took it out of the phone and put it into the computer? Hopefully I misunderstood - your wording above seem to suggest a successful usb mount...

Your first question is quite broad, so I highly recommend reading the EpicCM blog site and the official site, cyanogenmod.com, because there are so many features that we will likely forget a few (unless we read the web pages for you, but then you have to trust our summaries... anyone remember the telephone game from childhood? Best to go straight to the source, lol)
That doesn't mean we won't try, of course... but I can't decide on a favorite feature, lol. The theme engine is a well-known feature that is almost a CM exclusive (it originally came from T-Mobile phones). I'm currently on the CM7 side of my usual cycle of roms, so I have to work from memory until I decide to switch back (I stay with 7 most of the time because I can't afford a decent replacement battery, lol)
As for homescreen shortcuts, both apps and widgets can be found in the app drawer - long-press and drag to drop them on the homescreen. There may be a direct dial widget (I haven't messed with direct dial shortcuts since long before CM9, so no guarantees on this part) - dropping it on the homescreen should open a dialogue where you can choose the contact to shortcut to. I know that other widgets that have variables that lack logical default values, like the direct navigation widget, work that way... I'm just not 100% sure if there is a direct-dial, or just a shortcut to the contact info

Ok that works for apps, what about putting specific individual contacts as shortcuts on the homescreen(s)? Can't figure that one out... need to get my wifey on there... thanks in advance y'all.

I think nova launcher allows normal widget placing. You can always try adw launcher

mytouch 3g slide cm7 wifi fix

well hello everyone im not sure if this should go here but i found this and noticed it worked right away and i did not find this so thanks to who ever did and thank you so much :laugh:
1st: you will need cm 6.1.1 and the latest cm7 get them here ----> download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
2ed: Open both cm6.1.1 and cm7 then in Cm6.1.1 find system folder click it, then find etc click it, then find wifi click it then find tiwlan.ini
3ed: Replace your Cm7 tiwlan.ini with Cm6.1.1 tiwlan.ini
4th: Your Cm7's tiwlan.ini should have these numbers Size - 11,232 and Packed - 3,609 make sure its still in zip format
5th: put the fixed cm7 on your root of sd card and then boot in to your recovery make sure you do a back up if you dont have one already
6th: wipe data then go to advance the wipe dalvk cache <----- or how ever you spell it lol
7th: then flash the new cm7 with the wifi fix then reboot and this worked for me
ITS NOT MY FALUT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM lol
and if it gets to hard for some people i might be able to post the cm7 with the wifi fix but just maybe lol
Shorty, it would be great if you are able to post the cm7 with the fix. i am currently on holiday's and my wifi has all of a sudden decided to act up. I have the CM7 07032011 nightly which was working great, out of the blue it just started to randomly work.
I know the instructions are simply (detailed for noobs which is great) but being on vacation it makes it a bit hard to do so.
Cheers!

This time, it asked me to register. So I have just registered and downloaded the file w/o a problem. Thanks for that
So I basically follow the above instructions to swap roms right? I changed roms a year ago and it was pretty easy as I just chose CM7 from Rom Manager lol I can't remember exactly how to do it manually
