How do I get Froyo? - Vibrant General

I feel kind of odd for asking this, but see, I am going on a long roadtrip Monday and the Boinix v 1.3 rom i was using the battery kept going dead so fast no matter how much i re-flashed it. So, I decided to use odin to get back to stalk and wiped all user data and cache and now I am stuck at stock 2.1 update 1.

How did you get Bionix on your phone in the first place?
Just look thru the stickies. It contains all the info you are looking for.

Wait, what? How the hell did I permit anything or ever exchange words with you EVER?

All of this talking, and not many answers.
Mini kies is what you used to get stock froyo, officially.
since you have root, I would backup, wipe, flash a new rom (trigger), and recalibrate your battery. All of which is in my signature.

Ty, I think I will do that because Trigger seems to be one of the best out there as of now.

Non -productive...
Why is the insulting and no-productive comment tolerated here. Te users should not make the decision of if the is the right place for a Question, but rather help and move along. There is a reason that there are forum moderators. I just wish that people knew their place, rather than try to be the forum police.
Glad the answer help, and I hope you have fun on your trip.

1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol
johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.
I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.
I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.
I still luv ya John!

You shouldn't have deviated from stock in the first place. I would even go as far to say you shouldn't have even rooted your phone. You're going to get flamed....... You should have searched, and that tutorial is pretty basic. Figure the **** out

However, I will admit that "tutorial" makes my eyes bleed. I cringe every time I have to link to it.

Click the link in my signature.
Instead of the zip files in my thread, download the zip file from the shipping ROM thread (" You may get the Original Shipping Image from HERE or thru Modaco HERE. [22607 build] ").
before going back to stock i recommend trying cm.5.0.6 rom, its 10x better then stock.
This may not be to your liking, but why not go with Cyanogen? Its UI is optimized for the Nexus One. Combined with HelixLauncher it's even more kick a$$.
Maybe i should try cyanogen
I heard that its really good :] And it is full version? not alpha like desire ROM, right? :]

they're not buggy but compared to cyan the battery life just sucks. I don't think many people use those ROMS as their primary OS.

[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?

[Q] What's the absolute best way to wipe everything & return to out of the box stock?
First, thanks for all of you offering up your time w/ these mods. You've turned the Fascinate into a monster and I'm very grateful.
I've read through and performed the steps in the odin restore and remove voodoo threads, but I'm still a little unclear. Well, that and I'm getting some funky hangups on the phone even after doing all that. So I'd really, really like to start completely fresh. Fresh like out of the box fresh. What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks!
PS. I've looked through a few pages, but if I missed a thread w/ the exact answer I'm looking for, please link or describe it and let this one fall away.

Thanks, but I was hoping to hear the "reason" from egzthunder1.
Because this has nothing to do with developing on the Fascinate. Not trying to be rude or anything, but questions such as these ALWAYS belong in general. This is a place for the devs to post their work/collaborate.

Thanks, that makes sense. I probably would have picked up on that had it said something simple like, "Android development, a place to share your work."

I don't know if I should interpret this post as sarcasm or as flame bait. All he did was ask you if you were still confused on the directions, yet you come out flaming him. Maybe tell us what part of flashing the bootloader you are confused on? We can't read your mind...

My question was in no way meant to be sarcastic or demeaning.
It was meant to get two questions answered. A) if you had seen the thread and/or at least glimpsed the thread and b) if you had attempted to understand the topic at hand or just take a shortcut and have people do the legwork for you.
That is all I was trying to find out, and depending on the answer to my post, then decide on where to start you off at.

i had flashed the 2.9.1 simply honey and needed to flash a bootloader, i just found one on the link provided earlier, put it in the bootloader location in odin and hit start. pretty easy just kinda hard to get through the bootloader post. i know what your talkin about man.

You're probably in the wrong forum. Check out this thread, your answer is probably in there...

You will probably have to download a stock wm 6.5 rom and use the flash from sd card method from the bootloader to bring it back to stock.

Alternatively a simple google search will also bring plenty of results.
Questions like these should be limited to the Questions part of this forum. Yet they keep popping up due to the ignorance of the newbs.

if you want a sense rom with everything working Froyo build try CoreDroid 1.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507
Otherwise if you prefer gingerbread sense
Sense of Eclipse works well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124757
as well as Pyramid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075703
For a nice pure gingerbread no sense and cool theming try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247295
download ADW launcher or GO launcher and u got an aweseme themed rom that rivals Sense roms
I used a very stable DFT froyo build last time and liked it, but that was awhile ago and sure things have changed!
I don't have any experience with the gingerbread sense? Maybe have to give it a try.
Whats the main difference?
off to google!
Thanks for any input!

Sense is an additional interface added to Android, which makes it more user friendly, has more options etc
try both sense and pure android you'll see the difference
so what spl should it be to look stock? "2.10.00.."?
