Hey all,
Got my Vibrant today and am loving it. I do have one issue however. Unfortunately, Eclair doesn't have a patch in it that Froyo does. Specifically, this patch: https://review.source.android.com/#change,10576
Unfortunately, I need that patch to be able to connect my phone to my college's email systems. Can anyone give me some idea of how to get that patch and then use it on my phone til 2.2 is out? Or, if possible, could someone simply give me a file that I could just install using Clockwork?
I'd appreciate any help that you guys are willing to give. Thanks!
Hey, I couldn't connect to my college internet, but I flashed eugene froyo rom and now everything works perfect. I've also flashed it on a friends vibrant who couldn't connect before and now it works perfect.

By the way, there is a clock work image you can download for froyo and it only take maybe 10 minutes to install and reboot.
Edit: go to samsung vibrant development sub forum and find eugene froyo rom r2. Just download the recovery image and read all the instructions.

Got distracted the past few days by classes and am just now getting the chance to come back to this.
Anyway, I don't want to flash another ROM. I'm quite happy, for the most part, with Bionix Fusion. The problem is, again, that patch. I'm so used to having my school email on my phone (just switched from a Blackberry) that I forgot to check it and nearly missed some important emails.
I'll consider switching ROMs if I must (though, I didn't see that ROM you mentioned crazy25000. Perhaps you meant R1?), but I'd prefer to just get a patch that I can flash via clockwork.
So, can anyone else help me out here? I'd really appreciate it.

Alright guys, a few more rookie questions from this kid and I'll stop bothering the piss out of you
First off, I've recently rooted, and I have a few questions. I'm running a stock rom, and I rooted using the one click root but other than that, I haven't done anything major to my phone because I'm sort of lost in the process on a few things.
So, number one, I keep reading about the new update, I think it was DI18 or something to that effect? What I'm curious to know is, am I going to get these updates OTA with root, and, if so, will it remove root or am I fine as long as I have a stock rom? I just need to know if I need to avoid updating the phone OTA or not worry about it.
Also, I wanted to know how to get a netfiltered enabled kernel. i've been trying to use Wireless-Tether and I don't get any errors, just no UL or DL numbers and it doesn't do anything to my computer.
I posted a few threads ago that I am completely new to Android and such and have been running WinMo for the last 4 or 5 years. I'm trying to get used to all of this and after running with my HTC Raphael for the last year and a half I'm finally upgrading and this is a whole new world.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to everyone in the community! I really appreciate all of it. Oh, and for the record, I've looked around for a few hours on the net trying to figure out these things but I can't seem to find any answers. It seems like all of this is common knowledge for everyone else, but I've been running with Android for less than 2 weeks now. Thanks all.
Dig Life!

I seem to be having the same problem you are with wireless tethering. So if you figure out a fix please let me know.
We don't need a special kernel for wireless tether. Wirelss tether for android pre15 works fine for me. Ota updates will remove root, but so far it seems our same root method is fine with 2.2.1 updates (dk28) .

Isn't it true though that some custom kernels don't support tethering? For example, I run Andromeda DI18 and when I try to tether it says its not supported by my kernel.
Well, not sure. The only ones I have run are mix up and fluff. Both worked for me.

I hav the epic 4g and the hero before this on the day it came out and all this mytouch talk is confusing....
I wanna help my friend use android tether so we can play over xbox live. Don't care about lag h just wants to get on for the party since he's only gonna be playing halo wars for the time being....
So if any of you can help id appreciate it ^_^
His mytouch has no 3.5mm jack so idk if that would mean anything...he also has cm running on it (an extremely old version) so I wanna put him back to stock first so that I can put a nice clean flash on whatever rom has usb tethering enabled, so if anyone knows how to do that that'd be great too!

There are tethering apps on the market. Have you tried any of them. You can use the superwipe to wipe the phone and get a clean install so you dont have to go back to stock.
The tethering apps on the market are trials
And superwipe? WIll that just wipe the current rom or take any and all modifications off? Id prefer the latter so that I will be able to tell exactly what's wrong if anything goes wrong because thered be no unknown variables for me

Here is a guide to unroot get to 2.2 ota stock and root again so you will have the new radio spl if you want it.
1.) Follow the directions here to downgrade to 1.6 donut and upgrade to stock Android 2.2 and Use the Root method there ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899
Or you can go to ezterry's 14mb hack page if you have fastboot enabled on your pc and grab those if you want. Here is the link to that. You have to have fastboot enabled and again follw the instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
The superwipe will wipe everything just like fastboot erase system -w but supposed to be better i will find you links.
Here is a link to superwipe. Just follow the instructions there to a T. You have to power down in recovery and boot directly back to recovery for it to work. Also make a backup FIRST. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812&highlight=superwipe
Are you wanting to use one of the newer roms or older? That might make a difference in deciding to upgrade to the new radio/spl or not. Im not sure if any of the newer roms have tethering in it or not. Thats why i ask. I know the older ones do. Like Enomther's 1.6 for example
Well any working rom will do. You've been a great help!!!!!!!!!!
also, by older roms do you mean pre-official froyo? Or just like a rom that was last updated in november? Because if you mean pre-froyo I'll downgrade to 1.6 and then just go on from there to see if it'll work and then once I see its possible I'll put him on oficial froyo and tell him he's gonna have to wait or be stuck with the first os he had (he hated 1.6 LOL!)

If he hated 1.6 have you thought about 2.1? What is he on now? I believe there are 2.1 roms out there with tethering in it already. I believe you can rip the tethering out of a rom and just install it on your phone with whatever you have flashed at the time as well.
And yes i mean pre-froyo. Donut or eclair
Also have you tried barnacle wifi tether. I hear it works. I dont personally use tethering
Hey all,
So I flashed the Evo(Shift)Nonsense ROM and I love it so far except that I can't get rid of the damn mandatory update for voicemail. I'm just curious if anyone has been able to fix this. I've been searching teh interwebs for a while and found various things to flash, but nothing seems to have stuck yet...would appreciate any help to be found.

You just need to download the newest version; however, even trying to get that on the stock ROM provides no proper upgrade.
Anyone have the newest APK?

You can't get it to upgrade? I had issues til I went from wireless to have it search for upgrade then had to go back to 3g for it to d/l and install..I have no idea why I couldn't look for an upgrade w/o wifi and no idea why it would only d/l on 3g but it works..
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
It's only been happening with me on this ROM, never had a problem when I tried out Evervolv. I finally figured out that you also need something like sprint_app_updater.apk, which is also in the app folder and I pulled from a nandroid, but it still won't. It downloads the upgrade fine, but then can't install it, which I suppose is one step better than the "general failure" I was getting before.
Solved!
Hey, so I at least fixed my particular problem, hopefully it can work for other people. I took Sprint_App_Updater.apk from an older nandroid and then had to push it via adb into /system/app. After a reboot the app updated all correctly.

Bizarre, you're right. Turning off WiFi and just using 3G works fine. Thanks dude.
I just installed the latest cm nightly on my new ns4g unfortunately it doesn't support cdma radios yet, like an uber noob I was so excited to flash cm I forgot to backup first. I need a stock image to get my phone working again.
/facepalm
I thought 2.3.4 had cdma and 4g built in. Have you tried one of those roms?
Try a rom built from source of 2.3.4. Cm just barely started to merge 2.3.4 in.
Or the problem is he doesn't have the correct kernel from what I understand.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The 2.3.4 kernel has wimax code in it. Whether that extends to full rom support I'm not sure.

no it wont. and netarchy did alot to help me getting a kernel. it looks like i messed up flashing the radio... doh. now i need to figure out how to get the correct radio back on. i knew i should have waited before i jumped right on rooting this thing.
It will be on here soon. Don't worry. Just a pain in the buttto wait for a day or two!

im sorry but i dont feel one shred of pity for you. if your willing to take the plunge on testing things out before the phone comes out, then you should have at least made a backup of the stock files.. if you didnt know how to then you coulda asked.. or hell at the very least after flashing CWM made a nandroid

Actually a nandroid wouldn't have helped him, because his problem is that a rom he flashed was bundled with a gsm radio image. It's the cdma radio image he needs.
I'm not asking for you to feel bad or pity me. I messed up i'll take all the blame. yes i should have backed up to start off i knew i should have i was just too excided. i was a 8 year old on christmas morning with my new toy
I know there are people out there that can help me and i'm hoping by asking i can get that help. you can't blame me for that, if i dont ask i'm stuck here for days without a working phone. if i ask there's a chance i can get my phone working in a matter of hours, if the right person hears me.
no i agree there are people. what rom would bundle a gsm radio?
anyways if some one is willing to help all they need to do is just root, and dd the modem partition, they can upload it and then you can flash it. worst case im in EST and my sprint store opens at 10 am.. ill be making a total system dump when i get home. if you still need it by then you can download it.

Thanks for you help
well hopefully you can get in contact with someone today and they can make a backup of the radio for you to flash...

if someone can tell me the best root method and how to do the dump, I will do it
Hey all:
I just got a G Tablet a couple of weeks back and I put Vegan 5.1 on it. I don't have a smart phone but am getting one. I think the LG GT540 Optimus is the one I am going with. I have taken a quick look at the how to's for this phone and I noticed a how to for something called Eclaire 2.1 and a different thread for "custom 2.1/2.2/2.3". Which one should I go with. Do you know if either would allow me to tether with my G tab? thanks in advance
If you're really interested in tethering, better you buy Optimus One (P500) as it has tethering support in its stock ROM itself. Considering GT540, Mur4ik has already done with Wifi tethering. If you won't mind waiting for perfectly working tethering, then you can have GT540.
But I won't recommend it if you are just interested in tethering. Rather buy any phone that has Official 2.2/2.3 support.
Some recommendations like LG Optimus One, HTC Wildfire, Samsung Galaxy 3 (they both are upgradeable to 2.2).
thank you..
Can't really find your 3 recommendations at a similar price point as the GT540. Are you saying if i put the 2.1 eclaire and root the phone, tethering isn't currently working?
if you want a cheap android phone get the gt540 and upgrade it to the latest CM7 build that has WiFi tether support enabled and if you do get it make a swap partition on the sd card because i am making a softmod rom and it will have a few tweaks included for performance speed and battery
Ok. Just bought it. Partitioned many internal and external drives using windows but never done an sd through android. I'm sure its not so bad. Are the instructions for that cm7 on the forums some where? Thnx for the reply
yeah look at the how to thread in the dev section. it will help you mod your phone.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App
I read somewhere that you should upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, then to 2.3. Is this true or can i go from 2.1 to 2.3 directly?
Also. I see a video on how to install cm7. What would be the prereqs, install fastboot and root the phone or?
If you want I can remote control your PC tomorrow to upgrade your phone for you?
appreciate it!!! but I actually get more enjoyment learning and performing this stuff than I do actually using the phone. Let me give it a try, if i can't I'll let you know. Haven't got the phone yet either. It will be shipped over the next few days or so
no problem just take the time to study the guides while the phone is being shipped.

Been reading some and there is a lot of info. I have a question. Can I just follow the instructions provided here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12898827&postcount=3 , going to 2.1, 2.2 and so on(can i go to CM7 directly)?
or is there anything else needed to be done too, like rooting etc?
all you need to do is flash a fastboot 2.1 rom then boot into fastboot and direct flash to cm7 if you want.

Hey All: Got the phone yesterday. I think I installed everything last night. Had some issues, though I bricked the phone a few times.
There is one weird thing. When I shutdown the phone. I press power to restart, it does this quick vibrate, then does nothing for like 30 secs, this is where i thought he phone was messed, but then it starts up. not sure what's up?
One more quick thing, how do you get into recovery mode, cause I think i need to do one of those factory resets after install right? thanx
