The update will come in waves.. Bionix 1.7 is great & it uses the official JI6 (If you want it now)

I upgraded via ODIN, and do not have this problem.
Did you upgrade via OTA?

Using odin, trying the fix now

Worked, downloading mobileap solved the problem

I upgraded via ODIN and also don't have this problem.

I was worried about ODIN too plus I had many mods, battery, mobile ap, OCLF. So undid OCLF lag fix left it rooted, backed up all I could and did the ODIN JI6 update. Was a bit tricky, but I read and read all I could and went for it. Updated no problem. Lost root and mods but was able to reroot with OCLF and redo my mods. See no need for lag fix at this time. (Edit: read OCLF breaks vibration on JI6, sure theres a fix on the way..)
The trick is the mods have to be for JI6 not JFD. Battery mods are tied into screen unlock mods too... its all gotta match up and then it works.
If I did the OTA I'm sure I would have had problems. As for ODIN, go fot it!

[Q] Can't update J16 with ODIN??? Gets stuck half way...

So I had the same problem as many out there, got the OTA update from tmobile, tried to install it, installation failed, screen stuck on vibrant. OK! So I dowloaded ODIN, followed all instrunctions, was able to wipe and reinstall to stock with no problems.
The problem is when I try to update the new OTA J16 with ODIN, it starts the process, makes to where it says factory... and doesn't go any further, I waited up to 15 minutes one time. I haven't seen anyone else with the same issue...can plese someone help???
Help much appreciated...
I can't post links, but try this ROM out it worked for me. Search for this:
[TUTORIAL][ROM] How to fix your phone and apply the update
It lets you go back to stock then update to ji6.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Be sure you don't have re-partition clicked when your trying to update to JI6
I'm already back to stock as I said in my first post (re-partition, 512, original) That wasn't a problem, the problem is when I try to update to j16, it loads about half way then it freezes. I don't understand why! WTF!

Try using mini kies to perform the update.
Wow. Yet another poster referring to the the update as J ONE 6. Where are you seeing this? Not that it matters much but it's J EYE SIX and will affect searching to a degree.
Sorry.....J-I-6 my bad.
Thanks, I'll give mini a shot
What version of ODIN did you try? v1.3 proved to be more stable than v1.0

I tried both versions, V1 first a few times, then V1.3, both with the same results. Followed instructions to the T. It'S funny cause the full reinstall back to stock was smooth, and i did that a few times as well, since when it froze, I was forced to.

[Q] Problem after JI6 update

This must have happened after the update. Anyways my phone is rooted, had lag fix, removed lag fix before update. After update, I go to settings>sound and display> and some of the options are giving me an error when trying to change. Path not found..
I have another vibrant that is running smooth, could I make a back up of the good phone with clockwork, and place it on my other phones sd, and install with clockwork?
Thanks

You have 3 options at this point,
Try booting into recovery using rom manager & try fixing permissions
Go back to stock using ODIN and then update to JI6 using ODIN
If you have a Nand Backup before the update try going back to that update and then use ODIN to update back to JI6

Hey Community,
So here is the issue I'm having, my phone's auto rotation is not working. It gets stuck in horizontal mode when auto rotation is on. Here are the things I have tried:
Odin back to stock
turn off and back on auto rotation. turn off and reboot then turn on
SGS Tools Accelerometor tester - this came out that everything is working the way it is suppose to
Now I can't figure out what else I could try to fix this. Does anyone happen to know a file I could push to fix this? Or another solution I haven't tried..
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
What rom are you currently on? Also are you using and alternative home application like launcher pro or adw?

Trigger and yeah I'm using twGTGLauncher. I've tried switching launchers but no go on that either. Any ideas??
might try to Odin back to stock JFD, >then Root> Then install Rom Manager> then reflash Trigger or Biwinning> Then test it for auto-rotation and make sure it works. Assuming it does, reboot a couple times and retest, if it is working, then it probably is either the Tigers-blood kernel or the Theme you flashed, and do not flash those. The complex problem with all these phones (not just Vibrant) is when they are built and by who..... so the result is what works great fro me does not translate into a guarantee it will work for you.

Thanks, I tried that. It originally started when I was on Simply Honey 2.5. with its kernal Overstock 1.5.1 worked for a week or so then I calibrated my horizontal rotation and ever since then it hasn't worked. I went ahead and odin back to stock eclair like I got my phone and tried it and it still didn't work in stock or when I re-flashed Simply Honey. Is it possible to re-push a file to try and fix it?

You need to Odin to Eugene's froyo that doesnt brick. Uncheck ALL boxes before running Odin. Then use Odin to flash back to JFD with repartition, autu-reboot and EFS clear checked. Then flash whatever you want. This happened to me2 times and this is the only thing Ive found to fix it. Hope this helps.

[Q] how do i Unroot/Return to stock (samsung fascinate)

Ok for starters thanks in advance for the help i have found a ton of helpful stuff on the forum. im working with a samsung fascinate from verizon 2.2.1 and very long story short a ex-coworker rooted my phone for me and now i need a software update. its my understanding that being rooted prevents the ota update from installing. i never used any of the features of the root except i did the oneclicklagfix and a bloat freezer i also added a superuser app. here is what i have tried 1.i clicked the unroot in the oclf app. 2. tried to unroot using z4root app. 3 tried a factory reset. 4. downloaded odin and a stock recovery file following instructions on here (i get "check image files") the software update has a fix for the call connect issue with the fascinate (which is driving me nuts) i now seem to be stuck somewhere between rooted and un-rooted an app called root checker says im not rooted but i still cant update. please help me out i use my phone for work and miss calls like crazy im hoping the update will fix this.
have u tryed superone click they have a unroot button.

The ED04 update hasn't really fixed the issue according to a lot of reports here and on other forums...
Just odin your phone back to stock. Get the Dl09 radio tar file and Dl09 unrooted bloated rom and then you can do the ota. The Dl09 tar file you will flash with odin then the Dl09 zip file you will flash through recovery.

Unrooting

I am currently running a near stock Fascinate. All I have done is rooted no custom ROMS, no custom themes just rooted and froze some applications. I would like to unroot as the missed call problem is really bugging me and I think I am going to try and switch phones at the VZW store (I can't handle it anymore!) Now I know I can ODIN to DL09 then go to OTA that way, but I am wondering, because I have no custom Kernals and no custom Roms if there is a way to simple unistall my root access so that I don't have to go waste a day downloading the OTAs.

I think there was a one-click root method that may have allowed you to "unroot" your phone. but if I'm making this up, then that's the process you will have to go through in order to get your phone back to stock.
Odin'ing back to DL09 and then OTA'ing up to ED04 doesn't actually take that long. I went from CM7 to stock ED04 in about 30 minutes.

I know it doesn't take that long but I then have to go completely back to stock and download all my apps and such again. I decided I am just going to keep the fascinate but I want to know if there is a way to unroot so that when we FINALLY get Gingerbread I can OTA without much hassle!
If all you did was root and freeze apps, on any of ed ota's just unroot with super one click. It has an unroot button, just make sure you defrost your frozen apps and undo any other changes first. Or just go to the general section and follow the sticky on how to unbrick your fascinate, even links to zip files so you don't have to suffer through the ota's, ed04 unrooted stock takes like 20 MIN.

So the one click root is guaranteed to work on the fassy? When I unroot with Superoneclick Root, does it put me back to stock as in I would have to re-download all my applications, reset settings ETC or does it just un-establish root and leave me the same?
With superoneclick is it just like CWMing and then rooting with the SuperUser-Busybox.zip that I flash with ODIN?
I am a bit confused by it and I would just like some basic information pertaining to the Fassy rather than generic for all phones thanks!

where can i find everything needed for this? will this re-install the OS? i believe thats what is needed due to my friend deleting the stock messaging app from verizon.

I always just ODIN back to DL09 and am fixed everytime
I would use SuperOneClick. I just unrooted my wife's Fascinate with SuperOneClick and it worked perfectly. Just unfreeze your frozen apps and run SuperOneClick, click Unroot and in a few minutes, your phone will be unrooted. I would, however, uninstall the Superuser app before unrooting because every time I've used SuperOneClick to unroot a phone, it works, but the Superuser app remains on the phone.
Doing this will not restore your phone to factory. Any apps/data on your phone will remain on your phone.
Hope this helps.
