Need a little help guys - Vibrant General

Here's the deal guys. About a week or so ago I opened my camera and got a camera fail message. Someone here told me my camera would have to be replaced. So i ordered another one. Installed it and it worked for about 5 minutes and then once again got a camera fail message. Anybody got any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

Call Tmobile and tell them you cant use your camera. I believe they will give you a exchange

Odin? After install

Quick question about the update

its being pushed out ota, so you can odin back and not have it waiting on you, the best thing to do is just wait for a dev or Sammy to release a downloadable version so you wont be stuck on stock waiting up to 3 weeks for an update.
From what I understand and have gathered from the numerous other questions posted about this exact thing on the forum... I believe custom roms will not receive the ota through their phone, but you should seriously read through other threads before posting something like this

Ok, along similar lines. I flashed the leaked JI2 rom (no other fixes) via ODIN. Should I expect an OTA update? How do I get back to stock?
Odin back to stock

And now I have a brick. Started the process in odin with a tar and pit file from this thread.
This was a freshly exchanged Vibrant (my old one, with a wonky USB port is sitting in the return shipping box). So now, I've got ANOTHER Vibrant on the way. I have to take the one I was exchanging and take it out of the sealed shipping box I was going to send back Friday and use it in the meantime. Since I have to break the tamper proof seal I have to wait to send back the bricked phone until they send me another shipping label and seal. Sheesh!!
You are clearly to noob to mod with your phone lol.

You would think so, but...umm no.
Never had this problem with my G1(flashed, re-flashed and then some), oh how I miss it!! I think the Vibrant hates me!!
Phone 1) swapped it out for GPS issue (when they were still thinking it was isolated) Phone 2) horrid call quality for some reason and dropping off of network (switched out sim card first) Phone 3) stopped being recognized by PC and now Phone 4) this one was my fault

Epic speaker

I was wondering if anyone had the speaker for the epic. Mine blew and now it sounds like crap listening to music. I talked to Samsung and they said they'd fix it and it'd take about a week. But as of now my warranty is void,rooted and custom rom, I have a pretty good idea on how to replace it. But now I need the speaker. I tried a few places to no avail. So now I am on a quest to find one. Any help would be awesome!

Odin back to stock, and there will be no trace of a custom anything. Then take it in to a Sprint store, they'll order a new phone and have it for you in 2-3 days.
Thanks, I'll stop by sprint tomorrow and see. If all else fails I crack this baby open and fix it my self. After looking at an exploded view it looks pretty simple to get too.

Odin first! And even if Sprint *****es, go through Samsung. You have a warranty, the part failed because of a manufacturing defect, you're entitled to a free repair. Never give up!
OK. I'll try to go the warranty route. Imma tinker, I don't know the software part of androids and cell phones, but the hardware I can figure out! So I try to mess with them some times.

Thanks for your support! But we'll still be here when you get a replacement - probably with an update.

It's not out yet, but we're looking into it.
Sprint repair centers have the part. They switched mine in about 30 minutes. I didn't even have to give my passcode - just played some music from pandora and made a speaker phone call to show it was busted.

If you have insurance, it's a free repair. If you don't have insurance, it's $35 and probably shipped to the store, you keep your old device until it comes in (1-2 days) and then swap it out when it arrives UPS.

Do not take your phone into Sprint if it is rooted you might get a rep that knows what to look for also remove your memory card because off they will look for nand backups also.

Ill post a link to the video when I get to a pc. Thanks in advance and ill be sure to press that thanks button. Also if you could test the android wifi tether app after you go through this process it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Samsung kiosk at Best Buy phone fixer program.

Hello everyone, I have a question about something. First I'll start with this, I rooted my phone (GS4) and I screwed around too much. Long story short I deleted my recovery by accident so people on xda told me to take it to Best Buy. I took it there and they hooked me up I said "Kies broke my phone" and I think they bought it, but anyway the woman at the desk hooked my phone up to the computer, put my phone in Odin download mode and installed something. She fixed my phone, recovery is all good, got rid of root and got all the bloatware back, but my phone was fixed and none of my stuff was missing. How? What was the program they used? I was going to ask what she did but I was short on time. Does anyone have a clue so I can get my hands on this in case it happens again? If anyone knows and could tell me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
PS. I think I posted this in the right forum. Hope so.

I think she flashed the firmware through Odin. Did you try it before you sent your S4 there?

Yeah she would of just flashed stock firmware with Odin

No I didn't try it myself. I was going to but I figured I'll let the pros do it. If she flashed it back to stock, wouldn't it delete my data? Data as in music, pics and apps.
