This may be a stupid question, but what is the different between the JI6 update and the 2.1 update1?
I just got a replacement phone from T-Mob and it claims to have firmware version 2.1 update1 but the baseband version is JFD.
Or maybe I'm trying to understand what things are in baseband vs. what is in firmware. I assume one difference is that its easy to change the firmware, but that does not help me much.
Thanks
JI6 is latest and 2.1 update 1 is the old version
I really don't know if there was a pre release version 2.1 (without update 1)...
as far as i know, the very first vibrant came with 2.1 update 1 (or JFD), and that's what you have now.
You should get this updated to JI6...

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers....
Eclair 2.1 update1 is the stock ROM that comes pre-installed on the Vibrant.
JFD is the launch version of that firmware.
The newest revision of the Eclair 2.1 update1 is JI6 which, I'm sure you've seen a thread or two about, attempts to fix many of the issues users were having with GPS/Sync/etc. If you realllllly wanted to simplify it, and I know this is completely wrong but follow me here, you have Eclair 2.1 update1(JFD). JI6 would essentially be Eclair 2.1 update1(JI6).
Since you've got a vanilla Vibrant, I'd suggest you charge up your phone and head over to the Kies Mini page to grab the JI6 update. Of course you could also wait for the OTA (over the air) update if you felt like it.

Hi all,
I need to return my Streak (Dell EU Version, baseband 00) to Dell.
Some month ago I upgraded to Streakdroid 1.6 and installed his baseband patch.
Now I have to go back to the original version the streak was shipped with.
I have already downgraded using Recovery 318 and installed Streak_318_12821_00.pkg.
Do I have to do anything to remove this Streakdroid amss.mbn patch?
Can anyone provide me with the original baseband file to flash to the streak?
Cheers,
TheDemon

You don't have to go back to what your phone came with. You can return it with any official update dell or your service provider has released.

There's a SEA-Retail sbf in there. Look for the one that ends with "-searet". And yes, it's the full stock sbf.
As has been warned many times in this forum, if you don't know what you're doing, DO NOT flash an sbf. It might brick your phone. Although 4.5.2A is the latest version for SEA (which means it should be safe - bricking only occurs when downgrading), I'd still recommend caution.
i c..so after i unlocked and flash custom rom, can i use this sbf to back to stock and perform ota? or after unlocked bl, i could not use ota if it is available..

You can use that to go back to stock, but only if you were on the same/earlier build. Do not use sbf to downgrade.
hmm..ok..mean that if i flash custom rom from 4.5.2A version of 2.3.4, if wan to go back stock, i only can flash this 4.5.2A sbf to get back to stock rite?

Yes.
that's nice..thank for the answer..by the way, can I still update to official ics through ota update if Motorola release it using this sbf? it won't brick my device right?
You *should* be able to update from stock ROM, but since official ICS isn't out yet, we still don't know if Moto changes anything in their update policy. They could in theory prevent the updates to be installed on unlocked devices.
In any case, when the official update hits, I'll bet the devs are gonna be all over it anyway...
ok..maybe i will just unlocked it and use because i not sure when is ics will release for international version..thanks for help ya..
ICS has only been confirmed for US (AT&T) devices. Other regions are still "under evaluation". Seeing how the US version is currently on 2.3.6 and other regions on 2.3.4, I wouldn't bet on Motorola releasing ICS internationally unless there's a huge pressure from users like with Milestone's Froyo update.
so there might had chance that international version might not get the ics upgrade?
Yes. Looking at Motorola's update history, there's a chance that the international version won't get ICS (at least officially).
i see..but motorola update schedule listed the asia retail as ics upgrade in planing. so it might fail during the process?
From Motorola's Upgrade News:
PHASE 1 – EVALUATION & PLANNING: During this phase, we evaluate the benefits, technical issues and user experience of an upgrade. Generally, we are not able to provide release dates in this stage. There are also some cases in which we can state that an upgrade will happen but are not able to provide a release date. Please note that some products that enter the Evaluation and Planning phase may not complete the upgrade cycle.
wow..seriously speechless..but then never mind. if its fail, I still can grab custom rom that based on at&t ics right?
Yes. I do hope we get an official ICS release, though.
