Update question.

Hey guys quick question, I woke up this morning to turn my alarm off and there was a message that my update finally arrived. I clicked ok and went back to sleep and thought it would update the phone. I am still rooted and oclf is still in effect my quadrant score was ~2200. System info said 2.1-update 1 and T959UVJFD. I don't think it went through.

You are correct, the update didnt apply itself to your phone.
But from the sounds of it you are rather lucky it didnt. Most rooted users who leave their phone rooted and try to apply the update end up in the Q&A section starting a threadlike "OTA brocked my phone"
I suggest you remove the lag fix, un root, and then search the forums for the post about using launcher pro to force your phone to search for the update.
Conversely, there is also a thread about how to manually install the new update.
Again, you will have to search it out as I cant currently post links.
Hope this helps

I had the same thing happen. I was rooted with OCLF installed, I disabled everything, unrooted, and uninstalled OCLF.
I went ahead and started the update and BAM! "froze" on vibrant screen- good bye! I had to ODIN, and reflash back to stock.
Up to you at this point...good luck.

For anybody still waiting impatiently on the update. You may want to consider flashing Fusion 1.1 from the dev section. It is from the update build so you wouldnt need the update, and it is a lot faster and very stable. Read through the forum over there if you are interested. There is a lot of excellent feedbeck. It can be flashed over JFD through clockwork very easily.

It is my understanding that if you run the complete odin package it will overwrite even voodoo.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

i have killed my phone 3 times not disabling voodoo correctly when flashing roms. and each and every time adrynalyne's full di01 restore package has overwritten the whole thing for the win.
so if you are going back to bone stock, unrooted, full bloated eclair, (ie because you need to bring the phone back to verizon for warranty work) then that is your best bet. it will indeed wipe any and all voodoo whatnot from your phone.

Isn't it fine just to bring it back to stock DL09 Eclair, since that's the latest official OTA release? I don't see why you need to go back all the way to DI01 if you're planning on returning it. But I guess in the end of the day it won't really matter either way.

It doesn't really matter, all of the all in one vzw fascinate odins will work.
You technically don't _need_ to odin anything but the modem though.
For me, there was no lagfix and I had a working cwr/rom manager, so I did it in three quick steps.
1. Nandroid restore my DL09 setup.
2. Odin DL09 modem over EB01.
3. install a DL09 kernel from clockwork recovery and wipe the cache.
I was exactly where I was before with no headache.
Nandroid doesn't flash modem nor kernel.
However the all in ones may be faster if you are building from scratch (and absolutely the fastest route to stock). You should pick an all in one with the modem and kernel you want or you will have to do steps 2 & 3 either way.

I agree, but Froyo does make is a little more faster but with leaked ROMs they aren't fully tested, so that's why they are a little buggy, and thats why we have great devs here that fix em as soon as we find em

I found that turning of gps when not in use(I never use it) stopped the battery drain.

I also want to go back to eclair and cant find it anywhere. I have my phone on metro and I cant get my web and mms to work, also my phone shows only 1.47 g internal memory. I bought this phone used so who knows what was dont to it. Anyone have an idea where to get eclair???

Flashing Problems

Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you

Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini couple of weeks ago. I was tired of waiting for it and thought it was going to be a big improvement over Eclair but didnt notice anything except losing my MMS messaging!
Is there any way to do it with Froyo before I Odin back to Eclair?
Thank you

?? I'm sorry I'm a noob to all this so I may not be understanding the quick terminology. Thank you for your response.

Therr is a thread im the dev section on how to modify the recovery but tbh its easier to odin and start the process over...it's not like you weren't going to habe to wipe the phone when you flashed custom firmwares.

[Q] HELP!!!

okay, so I flashed the CM7 (prefinal) ics rom and all was well for awhile till i decided i was sick and tired of it because it seemed really laggy and imcomplete, so I figured I'd go back to stock 4.5.91 and to do so, you have to (atleast to my knowledge) RSD flash it to your phone. So i did, and my phone is now in the infamous infinite bootloop. Now I know there are already a million threads on this, but this is the first one (ive seen) that has THIS problem and got to it THIS way. I dont know if CM7 prefinal updated to 2.3.6 and you cant go back or if you cant flash back to stock period. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Did you do an OTA update to gingerbread?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

You should have flashed a fruitcake via recovery instead of rsd. It is safer. However I believe I also got a bootloop when going back to stock via a fruitcake. Can you get into recovery?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Yes, I did the OTA update to 4.5.91. If it matters (which I don't think it does), I was rooted and unlocked, I had the CM7 kernal + prefinal ROM installed, and tried to revert to stock 4.5.91 via RSD. Maybe its because I installed the kernal? And I can get to stock (worthless) android recovery.. actually scratch that, I can get to the triangle with the ! in the middle, but the menu wont pop up...

psshh is this a joke? I finally figured out to access the dumb stock recovery (yeah i know, its common knowledge) and formatted cache/system and it worked! What im trying to figure out is why it worked..... o well.

lol great i was going to suggest flashing.a fruitcake they are closest to stock without the pitfalls of rsd light

something weird, no roms would work, need help!

Hi everyone, I been reading on this forum for a quiet some time now but never felt the need to create an account to post any questions. because i always find informative threads that help me solved my problems but not this time.
i been helping my friend to tried to install a custom rom on his D2, i wouldnt say im very experienced, but i have done it to couple other phones including a droid x so im kind of familiar with what to do.
so i rooted it, bootstrapped, using rom manager to install cwm, then bootstrapped to cwm recovery, from there wipe data / cache, then install zip from sd.
i tried with cyanogen mod first, but it didnt work, it would get stuck on the m logo after rom is installed, so i sbfed it and repeat the whole process and installed the liberty this time but same thing happened again, so i repeated the whole process again and i tried liquid smooth just now, and it still didnt work.
is there something im missing?

You need to make sure the phone is on gb. Also wipe data/cache/dalvik once before you flash and twice after.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

so it has to be 2.3 and above? the system say its 2.2 right now, but the sbf file i used its "vbz a955 2.3.20_1ff" so i assumed it was on gb. is there specific version of gb i need to upgrade to?
thanks for the suggestion

To flash cm7 or any gingerbread rom you have to first be on the ota 2.3.3
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

ooohh thanks! whats the best way to update to 2.3.3? do you have a link? all the links i see is for 2.3.0
thanks alot hope if works

The best was to update is to sbf to stock 2.2 then accept the ota update. Then once you update you can root, bootstrap then install cm7.
