Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.
how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.
Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.
can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S

If you want help you are going to have to be a lot more specific. What have you actually tried?
Just a tip, people will not help you on these forums if you ask for help without showing you've tried to solve the problem and know how to search.
There are loads of unlock threads. Almost everyone get one method to work eventually.
Help needed please!
I'm trying to install Dexters Mod update and I keep getting the same results, it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Formatting misc...
I've formatted my SD card. I've tried renaming the file with a capital U, lowercase u, etc. I've wiped the unit....nothing works.
My SD card worked fine when I installed the Elocity update from their website.
What am I doing wrong? I really want to get that Marketplace installed....
Thanks for your help!
Did you do it from Recovery menu? It's necessary.
elocity
Hi, I need help with this too, I really want the market on my elocity. Thanks

Yes, I did it from the System Update option which puts the unit into the recovery menu. That's the correct way, yes?
It looks like all the Mod files from this site are damaged or corrupted...? I run a test on the download on my computer and there appears to be issues with the download. Has anyone else had this problem???
Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
I had trouble with the install also: i was able to enter the recovery mode but it would recognize the update then i would see the android logo and box with arrow then nothing from there this happened several times. I left the card in the unit turned it off then back on , then went to the system update and chose to update , which it did and rebooted then was locked in an Elocity loop. I reset the unit and the market and everything was there. I might of been close to bricking it ,but it works now. Be careful

Sounds like your downloaded zip file was corrupted - this happens often. Try downloading it again and then try to install after that.

This is quite normal. boot loop happens to 90% of users. Its well documented in the development thread. The Android logo you saw is also expected. From there, you're supposed to hit the Menu soft key and use the other soft keys to navigate the recovery console. Also well documented in the development thread.

Thanks sagggas. I've tried to download it about 20 times and I get the same problem. When I run a test on the downloaded zip file my computer says it may be corrupted or incomplete. I don't get it. It's as if the something is wrong with the file, but others seem to have made it work. Any suggestions please??? I'm almost ready to get rid of this device....but since this is the only problem I've had I'm torn!

GetRight Download Manager
Hi
This reminds of a problem I had downloading a large software program a while back. Many people were having the same problem with corrupt files. The company recommended using a download manager called GetRight.
It worked great! It is free to use and you can get it at:
http://getright.com/get.html
Let us know if it works for you.

Jazzbone, that download manager worked perfectly! Once I was able to download the Dexter Mod without it getting corrupted the install went very smoothly.
Thank you sooo much for that suggestion! I can't wait to see what this tablet can do now.
Having the same problem. I did check out the website, but I saw nothing for Android,

The getright manager is software for your PC to help you download large files from the internet. In our case, the functionality would then allow us to copy the newly downloaded file (apparently with a lower frequency of corruption) from our PC to our SD cards for use in our Android devices.
Do anyone know where I can find these images?

Here's where I got the ODIN3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=599054&d=1305645578
Did that work for the IO Tab, the P7510? It looks like that link is for a different model number.
Its for I/O tab. I got stuck and made it with a system dump from someone else. The boot logo is for 10.1v though but everything works fine. Only use if u get stuck in a loop. I had to manually flash 3.1 from Pershoots to update.
Sent from G2x
hey i tried this image but get write failed.
any other options that need selecting?
which version of odin are you using? could you pls link it?
thx.
same prob ^

For me Odin seems to be the only option as well as adb and fastboot dont recognise the tab.
When using odin I get either "write error" at the end of process if I try to send just the .tar.md5 file listed in first post, or, if I check repartition I get "error in line 1455" so I figure the next step will be repartition with a .pit file included as well...
Question is....which .pit to use - any solid fact or informed opinions from anyone much appreciated?
I am happy to be guinea pig as my tab is already "semi-bricked" and good for nothing and Samsung in France have said no service or guarantee available here, only in the USA....WTF!!?? So, I might just as well get reckless and see what happens...
As an aside......samfirmware?? is this now a pay service before one can download any firmwares? I see they have a GT-P7510 section indicated but inaccessible because of "webprotect". I am loathe to cough up the money for their "premium service" just to be able to enter the section and maybe find that they have nothing to offer....
I am not a leecher so will happily pay if they have something to offer, but will not pay just to see if that is the case...anybody got any info on what they have available?
Ta very much

Thanks! I used ODIN3 (v1.00) to flash the image and successfully "unbricked" my tab which was previously stuck in a boot loop. Was pleasantly surprised to see that user data was preserved.
The OTA finally downloaded and now I just have to wait for the battery to recharge so it can apply the update...
bonzai your odin flashable md5 was awesome, can u make another one based on 3.1 please?
it would help this community alot
Hey all I'm looking for a little help on an issue that I can't seem to find any exact info on (I have searched quite a bit)
The problem is that I have seemingly soft bricked my G2 whilst trying to restore a 4.4.2 backup coming from a stock custom 5.0.1 Rom.
The phone is stuck in a bootloop and I cannot access recovery mode through any of the button combinations or any other way.
I have installed the latest LG drivers but when I connect the phone (while in boot loop) the pc tries to install "LGE Android MTP Device" but fails to complete.
When in download mode though, the phone is recognised as "LGE AndroidNet USB Modem"
When I try to flash a stock KDZ via Flashtool,every time it gets to 2% and then throws an error message telling me to retry.
If this is an issue with the drivers not installing correctly, is there another way of getting them to install without the phone being switched on and USB Debugging on?
If so I would greatly appreciate a little light shed on the matter.
As I said, I have searched a lot about this and did not find any other cases similar to mine where the USB drivers could not be installed.
Thanks
Darren

Have you tried flashing a .TOT file using the .TOT method instead of .KDZ? What is your phones model?
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/
It's a D802. And no I haven't tried that although I am intrigued as to what it entails. Is it the same procedure as KDZ flashing?
I really appreciate are the reply btw

If your having trouble with the drivers then delete them, reboot and install pdanet. If it still fails at 2% then go the tot method.

You can search for combination file instead, I got those sites here and here from just typing "G955W combination file" into google.
If it still fails - Though I doubt - try this tool then, I can't confirm if it's working or if it's safe though.
Also code is encrypted so I can't confirm if it contains malicious code. So it may be unsafe both for your android and for your PC lol.
Maybe you can use it on a windows sandbox.
