Bionix Fusion 1.1 and JFD modem - Vibrant General

Just a heads up [or maybe I didn't do it right]:
Using Bionix Fusion 1.1 in Project Core v1
I wanted to try out the JFD modem by flashing it. Backed up my data using Clockwork Recovery. Flashed JFD and got an infinite loop. Not sure what I did next to stop the looping... but I finally managed to get into ROM Manager. Restored my back.
However, the JFD baseband was still showing up, and I could not connect to a network.
Can someone enlighten me?
Why wasn't my phone back to how it was before?
Not sure what ROM Manager backs up and restores.

Perhaps this would be better addressed in the development section?

Update: Got it back up by flashing Bionix Fusion 1.1 again.

ROM Manager/clockworkmod doesn't back up the modem or kernel, so restoring your backup wouldn't have done anything. You should keep around a working modem and kernel on your phone to flash in case the one you're trying fails.

JI5 update - force close on settings

FYI - I originally posted this in the JI5 thread in the dev forum, but it got lost in the action there so...
I installed the JI5 through Kies, no problems. Then rooted via the one-click method (not OCLF), installed the Mobile AP app, and deleted some bloatware. That's it.
Now I get forces closes when trying to adjust certain settings. I get this message:
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
This only happens when I try to set the ringer volume, system volume, and brightness. Every other setting seems to work.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.
WifiAP has a deodexed settings.apk, probably from JFD firmware. Post in the wifiap thread and see if they can help.
I thnk the only way to back out of that is to restore from rom manager.
Do NOT restore via Clockwork Recovery. I bricked as a result. Different kernel or some such thing...
Trying ODIN now to get back to stock.

It depends on *what* you were restoring to. Some of the custom firmwares (Bionix for instance) are built on JFD's kernel. JI2, JI4, and JI5 are using a newer kernel that the JFD stock kernel builds will not work with (and vice versa...custom kernels like Voodoo, JAC, Kingklick will NOT WORK with JI2-JI5).
Just gotta do your homework ahead of time.
Sounds like you installed the wrong MobileAP zip. Odin JI5 again or install the right one
This has nothing to do with JI5. I have the JI2 version of MobileAP on my Vibrant and there isn't anything wrong with it or JI5. Another reason why people like zipmongsrwerweg run off and say things like JI5 is a bad update.

flashing prep questions

Ok, so I'm currently using bionix 1.9 with stock kernel. I really want to flash bionix fusion with kingxklicks kernel, from what here this is a great rom.
My question, is there anything I should know about flashing this i.e. going back to stock rom? Is there anything I need to do before flashing this?
If I decide to go back to stock rom can I just flash with odin? Do I have to flash stock kernel before flashing back to a stock rom?
Can anyone just let me know, I would like to be prepared in case anything does go wrong.
Nope, you should be safe to flash directly over your current rom. As a precaution, if you have Ryanza's OCLF, you might consider undoing the lag fix... not saying it is needed but more often than not, most people who have a problem start off with saying " Help, I just tried flashing (xyz rom) and now I am stuck at the bootscreen. I had (abc rom) and OCLF before... what could be wrong?" Any other questions be sure to consult the red text in my sig.
Ok cool, even then I have been stuck on the boot screen a couple of time. Odin fixed that problem.

Other than making a nandroid backup and maybe a titanium backup, you should be good to go ...
Fusion 1.1 is a wipe ROM so may want to backup your apps ....

[Q] EB01 - Application not remembering preferencess

Hey folks, I'm hoping one of you can help me out with an issue that just cropped up on my phone. I've been running EB01 since it's release and have had no issues whatsoever except for today when I noticed my apps (Titananium Backup, Tapatalk, Root Explorer) we're remembering preferences anymore and/or every time I exit from them and launch again....it thinks it's the first run again.
Did something hose up my permissions/ownerships? Only think I did recently was flash the de-binged browser via CWM.
Any ideas??
What are you running? It may be a permissions problem. Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?
I'm having a similar issue. Help!

I was just about to start a thread about this. I'm having the same problem. I upgraded from blackhole 4.1 (DL30) to Superclean 2.2 EB01 with voodoo lagfix. I got the red CWM flashed via odin and proceeded to install the EB01 modem and the superclean 2.2v (EB01).
The first time I flashed was a disaster, there were issues with Odin completing the flash, so I had to do USB pulls about 4 times (which ended up giving me full "light blue" screens during download mode at times).
After getting Odin to cooperate, I was able to flash the Superclean 2.2v (EB01), and then I restored everything from Titanium Backup, which worked fine until I restarted the phone or left it alone for a couple of hours. Everything would force close (like ADWLauncer Ex, forcing me to use ONLY TWLauncher) and all my preferences were lost. Like gmail would have to resync as if it were new, all the EULA dialogs would come up (like in android market), my trillian profiles were all lost, if i turned off haptic feedback that would turn back on, my ringtones would go back to the defaults, etc.
So I read some other thread in the Development section which said to reflash, and do not do any restores at all. So I reflashed with Super clean 2.3v (EB01), but it happened again, all my preferences would be lost. I also tried to do "fix permissions" from RED CWM, but it just ran for like a fraction of a second and didn't seem like it did anything, as the problem persisted.
I'm planning to go back to DL30 or even DL09 to see if my phone functioned properly or not.
If anyone has a solution to this problem please help!
- Superclean 2.3v (EB01)
I'm thinking it has something to do with flashing either the De-Binged browser or the new market update. Maybe something in the framework-res is getting hosed up?
I just did a wipe and reflashed plain old EB01 and I'm not going to flash any changes and see if the problem comes up again.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've been all the way down to DJ05 to see what happens, and when I come back to superclean 2.2 voodoo-ed, I get force closes on everything the first time I restart - that issue was due to the new feature froyo added "automatic restore" in settings > privacy. I got that taken care of by uninstalling all apps.
However, when I restart now, my entire phone defaults back to cleared data. I'm talking every setting that I could think of (usb debugging, sound, brightness, contacts, security pin cleared). I don't get it at all. Everything else has been working right though.
Just thought I would share - I'm kinda still in limbo till I figure out what I should do.

I wonder if it has to do with the type of EB01 we're using or the CWM. I flashed CWM red via Odin, rather than updating via Rom Manager or update.zip. Also I used the EB01 Walkthrough in the fascinate developers section, the link is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
***UPDATE***
I resolved the problem... I think. I noticed there was a difference in the file names of the EB01 Modem in the walkthrough link I provided on the last line of the paragraph above and the EB01 Modem given in the original EB01 stock thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948679). I flashed with the eb01a_modem.tar given in the stock thread and then upgraded to Super Clean with Voodoo (v. 2.4 as of this writing). The market DID restore all the apps, before I was able to stop it, but after I restarted, there were no force closes nor were there any loss of preferences. I hope the modem issue was what was wrong...
Started doing it again this morning. This time I did not flash any mode via ROM Manager. Only things I did was de-bloat using Root Explorer and Titanium Backup.
Not every app started forgetting preferences, some still reemebered. Any of the devs have an idea of what's going on here? I'm running the plain old, fully-bloated EB01 ROM. No voodoo, no de-odexed, or anything like that.
I think it's a dbdata partition issue. I can't say how to fix because it's above my paygrade, but you may have to wait until it is officially released.

Try the Odin back to stock...DI01, wipe everything. Reroot and and get cwm. Then ODIN EB01 Modem Tar followed by super clean 2.4 install through cwm. Be sure to wipe data and cache before flashing super clean.
I there a reason I have to go all the way back to DI01, or can I use any All-In-One Odin package that writes the ROM, Kernel, & Radio?

I suggest that typically before anything else b/c it seems to help most. I've never experienced these issues but many suggest this is a viable method to remedy certain problems. Don't see why you couldn't try the odin DL09 all-in-one and wipe the hell out of it and try again. Good Luck.
Is the corruption in the dbdata partition caused by an older version of CWM or a problem in the EB01 ROM itself?
Is it safe to go back to EB01?

I believe it's currently inconclusive. There is speculation about exactly what causes it hence the reason I suggest wiping everything and then flashing the most recently provided stuff. That way it'll narrow things down. Someone can correct me, but if you odin back to stock, I'm 99% sure super cleans 2.4 voodoo kernel includes the new cmw. I was on green cmw unitl I flashed the seperate voodoo kernel posted by jt. I haven't had any issues.
Its almost certainly dbdata corruption. The cause is...yeah questionable. Seems most common with voodoo with the current hack being used to get it working with froyo.

I've never run Voodoo on my phone, but I did my initial install of EB01 with one of the older "Green" CWM versions.

Any other suggestions or fixes?
I went all the way back to DI01, then flashed to EB01 using an Odin All-In-One and now 48-72 hours later, my apps (most notably Tapatalk, Root Explorer, and Titanium Backup) think it's the first time they've run every time I launch it.
Shouldn't have going back to DI01 fixed the corruption since it reformats the ROM partition? Also, something I notice was that flashing to DI01 or EB01 using odin did not get rid of the new CWM Recovery.
Would running the permission fix correct the issue?

No...are you running voodoo? And what rom are you using?
EB01 Fully Bloated, Non-Voodoo Kernel
Baseband version: S:i500.04.V.EB01
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: SCH-I500.EB01
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...roms-w-root-new-clockwork-updated-2-15-a.html
Try This...
This will hopefully repartition and clean dbdata corruption. BTW, I couldn't get 2.2 to run on my phone until I odin flashed a ROM which allowed me to then flash Adrynalyne's 2.4.
DI01, DJ05, DL09 did not work for the fix. Eclair worked fine, but Froyo would not work until I flashed a 2.2 odin.
Do I need to check the "Re-Partition" option in Odin when flashing or does it do it automatically?

Reboot Loop

Ok so I had my Fascinate running on the EB01 Kernel and using the stock ROM. I tried Kaos v5 ROM and tested it. Since many things arent working in that version i decided to go back to my stock EB01. When i wiped the data and cache and i restored my nandroid, it was mixed up with Kaos ROM still. So i decided to flash the EB01 kernel again through Odin and now my phone just keeps FORMATING/DELETING DATA. It stuck after the Samsumg logo and wipes data and reboots and keeps doing the same thing.! I dont know what to do i've tried everything i can think of and many things that i have make worked but im out of ideas! someone please help me out to fix this problem. (Hopefully my phone isnt completely gone!)

Did you disable voodoo? May have a date with ODIN full. Going back to D101 usually fixes most problems, but, you can try the DL09 package first.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I don't understand why people are so hesistant to use the full odin packages. 99% of the time it will fix your problems and in about 5 min you are back up and running.
DI01
DL09
You could also try this odin package to get you straight up to EB01 though I haven't tried it myself
EB01
I had a similar issue restoring a backup from CM7 alpha, phone just boot looped. The solution for me was to battery pull, go back into recovery, rewipe, and reflash an EB01 rom (i used superclean 2.4). Let it boot up, then reboot recovery and restore your backup.

How about post it in the correct place so people don't get pissed and ignore it?
ODIN back to stock. DI01 usually works for me. Or try one of the EB01 odin packages w/ root and CWM
Be sure to make several Nandroid backups because sometimes one is messed up. (Thanks Jensiz )
THANKS
Yeah i got it to work i just went and flashed DL01 and it worked perfectly thanks guys!

I really screwed up...

EDIT: Ok so I flashed it back to 2.1 stock, i'm gonna try flashing Bionix again, is there something I should do before flashing it? Am I in the wrong version or something? Help!
Ok so here's the situation:
I was running Axura 2.0.3 or something and things were ok, but I wanted to flash to something better, so I downloaded the Bionix Frost 2.2.1 ROM and flashed it. It didn't have any of my contacts or SMS so I went to flash it back to my last backup, which was 12/15/10, and Axura. I go to Clockwork Mod, and run the nandroid backup and now when my phone boots up, it goes through the screens, and freezes on the Galaxy S screen, then everything turns black and when I touch the screen, all the bottom buttons light up, but nothing happens, and the only way to get that to turn off is to pull the battery.
Is there any way I can fix this? I have Odin, but i'm not sure exactly what to do here.
flash a kernel. nandroid does not restores kernel.

First things first, calm down.
This is not hard, but it can seem that way if you freak.
Did you read the guides? Did you download rom manager, flash cwr, go to stock recovery and reinstall packages (twice maybe)?
i really think it's about flashing a kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
So what kernel do I need? I'm back at full 2.1 stock, and I want to get back to my Axura 12/15/10 nandroid, do I need a kernel?
That axura is 2.2 right? So any 2.2 kernels should be fine,
flash nandroid then before rebooting flash kernel.
In the phone information it says my Kernel is 2.6.29? It says firmware version is 2.1update 1.
If I just want to flash to Bionix, do I need to update a kernel or can I just go straight ahead and do that?
yes. you don't need to flash a kernel when you flash bionix.
You only need to flash a kernel when you are restoring a nandroid backup.
Thanks, you helped a lot.
One last question: how do I move my contacts and SMS over? Whenever I flash a new ROM I seem to lose it.

2.6.29 froyo .....u need 2.1 eclair kernel !!!!!
What if when rebooting to recovery re-installing packaged always end up in failure? Should I go ahead and flash a rom?
