Don't want to be Guinea pig after att one makes those problem,
Still willing to see positive report here
Running the update on my stock Vibrant. Will post results once it's done.
update works, as long as you have kies 1.5.1.
i personally had stock rom and stock kernel running launcher pro.
can't report anything other than it updates fine. it did remove my stock lock screen and my circular accurate battery mod.

We're already up to 10 pages as of this post. There's a lot of good information in there so far. There were a few issues affecting people but appear minor. My upgrade went just fine and GPS appears fixed.
I'll post in the dev section as well.
Upgrade successful. As mentioned in the dev posts, I installed Kies but did not allow it to apply the update (to the software, not the phone).
Message popped up saying that firmware upgrade was available. Clicked it, waited, phone rebooted, done. The download and upgrade was slow, though.
The state of the phone is just as it was before the upgrade except that my Daily Briefing app was reset. All data appears to be intact. I'm stuck inside so can't test the GPS, but it seems as though the phone is a bit zippier (could just be my imagination though).
Take the GPS for a ride and see if it loses connection..
The phone is alot snappier even without the lag fix. Market work faster as well even on 3g. Although, quadrant score doesn't reflect a significant increase but as we all know quadrant scores are inflated and inaccurate once you apply a "lag fix". GPS cold boot obtaiend 7-10 locks inside my house, no setting changed all default. Haven't got a chance to actually test the connection and accuracy in long runs, will do it tomorrow on way to school.
How to make Kies work with Vibrant firmware update
Install Kies from Samsung UK site.
DO NOT UPDATE to the latest version
Click on Driver recovery in Kies Menu and install the samsung drivers
Phone settings - USB Settings - Kies mode should be selected
-------------------------------
Now, if you have already updated to latest version of kies, uninstalling and reinstalling alone may not work.
Uninstall the software... restart system...
Go to c:\program files\samsung........ delete the kies folder.
Now reinstall the software.
---------------------
And finally, quit Launcher Pro/ADW.... You need to be in default TW.
Make sure your battery is more than 75%... i am not sure about the right limit.. It didn't allow me to update firmware when mine was at 45%.
Be careful downloading and running the Samsung Kies software.
I downloaded and installed it this evening and it knocked out my computer's internet connection (see post here - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795270 )

Yes, otherwise, you will be starting at the Galaxy S screen for a while.
I keep getting a big fail for installing the MTP USB Device on my PC when I connect the phone.
Edit: Uninstalling everything and trying again.
success!
Here is my method that i compiled from everyone in the other thread
Undo lagfix using One Click Lag Fix app from Market
Download and install Samsung Kies
Once installed, it will ask you to update Samsung Kies. Do not update Kies
Click on Kies at the top left and click Driver Recovery to install/reinstall samsung drivers
Make Touchwiz your default launcher
Menu > Applications > USB Settings > Samsung Kies
Launch Kies on your pc if it's not already running.
Plug in the usb cable to your device.
It will prompt you for a firmware upgrade.

I really want to know how the GPS works after the update..
Just upgraded to OTA leaked froyo, and now it won't let me select ringtones for text messages, calls, ect. The whole phone freezes up and shows a blank screen. What do I do? Is there any way to downgrade back to 2.1?

I would try to either
1) ODIN back to DI18 and reapply the 2.2 update ROM
2) ODIN directly to DK28
your call
Do you have a link on how to Odin DK28?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I want to go back to DI18 and just wait for the official OTA, I'm having too many problems

Thats the DK28 ODIN file
Give it a shot man, I'm running it with NO issues to speak of
I did it, but my gps doesn't seem to work anymore.
Has anyone used 4g after the update. Is the connection more stable?
Is it me or does it seem that the linpack scores should have gone up a bit more..
I was getting around 8.3xx in 2.1, and now I'm getting 13.7xx in 2.2.
(I used the 1506bdf2e04b.update-SPH-D700_DI18ToDK28.zip renamed to update.zip method.)
Saw a video the other day showing a nexus 1 scoring 20+ on 1st run and 40+ on 2nd.. My friends Evo (with 2.2) scored @ 38 or so..
Quadrant still shows me well under all of the 2.2+ phones listed.
(1st post, great forums BTW!)
=]
I ended up flashing my phone back to the DI18 version because of the plethora of problems I was encountering. Hopefully the official release of froyo will be flawless, because the parts of my phone that were working were absolutely fantastic!
I updated and everything is working fine except I can't download apps. It just sits there in "starting download." I can access the internet fine. I tried it over wi-fi, 3g, 4g. Any ideas?

The new Android Market (vending.apk) had lot's of alignment issues on MIUI ROMs. Here's a fixed vending.apk that Absolute on MIUI-Dev put together. Just flash it and enjoy!
DO A BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING! It works for some but for some it causes FC's. There's currently no information what's causing this.

Still not working. Force closes every time
No issues for me, simply flashed and all is good. Fixed the alignment issues aswell.
Have you tried removing the old market app and then try installing this one?

There are some random issues with new market and MIUI. When I first installed the market I pushed it via ADB and that caused the market not to work. The next time I flashed a zip and it worked. I've seen people reporting that sometimes it takes many attempts to get it to work.
Fc on my Desire too...removed old market first ... What now?

You made a backup right? You should be able to find the old market somewhere by googlint it. What MIUI version are you using btw? I consider it weird that it works so randomly.
Managed to install 1 app, then force closed the whole time. Erasing user data didn't helped.
Hey, running 12.11, at the beginning it works and i downloaded some apps, than it crashed, tried to delete, wipe cache and reflash the zip, but now it crash every time im startet it twice... Btw, old market is ok, backuped it!
Send by me! d[°_°]b
Well that's definately weird Have any of you tried installing it a few times again? Like I said earlier I had crashes at first install but after recovering and installing again it started working correctly.

anybody know if this works on the dinc?
it works for me..try this method
i dunno if thisll help anyone but ive been trying for the past week relentlessly to get this to work and i think ive found a solution..at least for me..
i did a clean wipe [data and dalvich] twice to be safe even with amon_ra's..i know its amon's but im just picky
installed miui 12.3_final.zip and booted into it WITHOUT installing the new market yet, and then i opened up the old market to make sure even that was working and to get everything in the cache's memory
reboot..
install barnacles-update-vending-v2.2.6.zip [he claims this fixes the fc issues]
reboot..
let everything load and try the market it should work..it did for me
reboot..and installed the 12.3.1.update.zip over that and it still worked..
the alignment issues are still off so far and i havent tested the fixed alignment .zip yet and ill update after i have..
if anyone is successful in this, or unsuccussful let me know
i have a stock miui kernal also so that might be it...i dunno yet
im flashing the trickle battery kernal now, update in a bit
credit goes to barnacles for his work
hello xdadev,
i really need your help. I am a newbie in android world [just purchased my first android device] last month [samsung galaxy tab p6800]. since then, i was really excited to explore android world and its features where I was led to this site.
now, heres my problem: just this afternoon, at first, i used my wifi to access a shopping mall internet connection. but minutes after turning my wifi off, when i turned it on again to connect to another network, i was surprised that it wont start and when i open the settings menu, under it says error. im really worried.
had my unit restored to factory settings but still no changes. Rooted my galaxy tab but today, i unrooted it thinking that the rooting caused the trouble.
im also hoping to update my tab to ICS but with this problem, im really stuck! i dont know how to access my apps in the appstore.
is this a firmware error or a hardware problem? please help me. my tab helps me a lot.
thanks in advance. im willing to add some details if you could help me.:crying:
try to go back to the mall where it 1st connected, if it still doesn't connect, then use your warranty and ask for replacement.
7.7 is notorious for being a bit choosy when it comes to wifi, sometimes, it just stuck with "obtaining IP address" then will revert back to scanning.
I also encountered your error before, but I just simply turn the wifi on and off again
before going back to your retailer, try to totally deplete the battery first (it's like removing the battery) then charge your unit and try to connect again
good luck
the last thing i could remember was busybox got updated but failed to install. is there any possibility that the failure caused the problem?
nope
biopsin said:

Ah, sorry, busybox could, and may very likely be the culprit! An older version did just that to my (I have the 6810), and a number of others, tabs.
This was for Stericson's version 8.0 and here was his reply to my email:
Sadly you fell prey to a bug that was in Version 8.0 of my installer. I fixed it in 8.1, but it seems many still got the bugged version.
To fix the issue, you need to reflash your current rom. You do not need to wipe or clear any data.
You can also look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691410&page=2
It has an update method that should fix your issues.
Again, I apologize for this error
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.
I did just that and reflashed my rom using Odin and then re-rooted. I haven't, since, re-installed Stericson's busybox although later versions supposedly fixed the problem. I see there has just been another update in the Play store.
Damn I got the same error today, also after a lot of updates came trough.
Still working on fixing it. Will restore backup first after full wipe..
EDIT : Ok just went to recovery via power+volume up , factory reset, a nandroid restore and wifi working again.
Phew.
Ah! Got my tab working again. Thanks guys for the link and comments. The (update. Zip), did fix the issue. Busybox related bug. Starting to re download my apps again since I got my tab data wiped. :-(

My PH-1 worked just fine. I did use it for about two months with the official Oreo-beta build. Now, before selling it, I flashed the latest Nougat-build, went through the setup process and installed the latest update. I missed checking for the audio. Now, it seems the audio in calls does not work at all. The caller can not hear the participant and vice versa.
Any suggestions?
/* solution: (thank you WickedDaemon)
Download and flash older NMJ32F Firmware and update from there.

Return to stock and check if u have the same problem.

Thanks for your reply.
But that is exactly what I did. Nougat = latest stock from https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds
What u mean i missed checking the audio?
I missed checking if calls work. Now you can call or accept a call, but audio won't work. You don't hear the participant and he doesn't hear you.
Same boat here. Flashed with Essential Stock ROM, and everything seemed fine until someone called me. Anyway, I've been banging on this for a couple days. A few things I've tried:
- Tried the VoIP application for my job. No joy..
- Uninstalled/reinstalled Phone app. No joy.
- Installed some other Phone app from Play. No joy.
- Hangouts Dialer seemed to work for a second, but has all sorts of other issues. No joy.
- Reset all data, restored from Google. No joy.
- Reset all data, setup as new phone. No joy.
- Disable OK Google. No joy.
A new clue; the baby monitor app errors out with something about the microphone being in use. But I'm having trouble figuring out which one is locking the mic. Anyone have a trick for this?

It could be a setting in the mobile network for better audio during calls or something like that. Disable that and it will work fine. Happened to me when I went back to stock once.

Are you referring to 'Enhanced 4G LTE Mode'? I just disabled that and tested. No joy.
Side note: After many reboots, reinstalls, and general button pushing, my VoIP app now has sound but still no mic. I removed Microphone permissions on almost everything and started adding them back one by one. Still no joy.
I think something changed within the firmware during the 8 upgrade, then didn't get reverted back during the 7 downgrade. Is there a particular image or partition that needs to be flashed again?

All I do when I switch back and forth is always fastboot -w before I flash and after I flash. May be overkill, but it always works

I've downloaded and flashed the older NMJ32F firmware and it appears to be working. Going to try the OTA update to NMJ51B and see where that goes.
