Hello,
I keep on trying to search, but search function is not working at this time, for how to receive the 2nd update for 2.1 for the Samsung Vibrant that we received in October. I had to recently flash my phone using Odin3 back to stock, but it was the very first launch stock. I am trying to find the second the update with the task manager and the gps fix. Sorry, but still am a noob at this. Any help is greatly appreciated
*Please note, I am running on Mac right now*

So, update us. How did it go?
sorry been stuck because of finals this week. I still have it at 2.1 without the update.
I have been trying to use ODIN to flash to the JI6 file, but it does not read the modem.bin and goes to the factory.rfs and stays there forever.
I am not sure if I should load the PIT file i used to restore to factory settings, but I tried it with both.
ODIN with tar and Pit
and
ODIN with tar only
If using windows vista or windows 7. When you open odin, right click it and run as administrator instead of double clicking on it. If using windows xp, try unplugging all other usb connections while trying to flash.

If you are refering to the 2.1-update1 go to www.samfirmware.com - sign up. Download the one right after JFD and i believe it is the one you are looking for, using ODIN, flash the file after reverting to stock yet again. Hope this helped.

I am running on EA28 firmware. all the threads tell about DL09. any difference?
Not to be an ass or anything, but if you can't figure out how to root the phone, find a stickied thread, or what needs done to flash ROMs, than you should stay away from 2.2 until you can. Odds are, you'll end up flashing something you shouldn't and it will be harder to get back to a working phone. Read through the threads and stickies first and gain an understanding of how to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

I was able to root while on EA28, but make sure you read the "Note to Stock Users" at the bottom of the first post on this thread:

If you are new to rooting or new to rooting this phone, you really need to read the instructions carefully (no skimming!) a few times before starting. It took me about three hours to root and install DL30 the night I got my phone (including time I goofed things up).
Good luck!

Slow down!
I researched information and asked questions for a week before I did anything. And at that point i knew every step that I needed to do in detail...
In contrast you seem to be just jumping in...
For now, if you're phone don't work, search for the di01 all in 1 package and use odin to push it to your phone in PDA section.. Only use PDA SECTION..
Then write me back on here telling me exactly what you want. Then ill write you a step by step procedure to get you threre..

You're in the right place, but you really should heed the advice you've already been given and read what's available before you make a costly mistake...
I started with the same stock configuration as you. Thanks to several hard-working devs (adrynalyne; jt1134 and others willing to document steps for us noobs), I'm now running Froyo with all the functionality I've been after since I bought this thing... Honestly, it's like a new phone.
EVERY question and glitch along the way had already been addressed on these forums - it's all there for the searching.
Also, I gather that folks will more patiently assist you if you *do* get into a fix if it appears you're willing to first RTPFM (read the proverbial f#$%^&* manual .
best of luck with it.

Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
Here is my problem. I was trying to flash back to stock using Odin3 and have tried many times. However it progresses to FACTORYFS and stops any progress. And it sits and sits and sits. No progress. Why??? Please. If anyone can give me any advice please do. Thanks.
Forst you need to have your phone in download mode.... if your havin trouble with the process download AIO VIBRANT TOLLBOX.. its really helpful and also you need to have the appropiate files and if it keeps doing that.... download odin again....

If so, reboot your computer, hit F7 to get into the safe mode options, then disable device driver enforcement.
Sounds wierd but it fixes my odin from locking up everytime.
Hi,
Can you link to the firmware you downloaded? I've seen this a few times and it was a faulty TAR package. If you are looking for a good reliable 2.1 JFD package I have on one of my download pages:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186
I had this same problem several weeks ago. I used the same files Ive always used to odin. Just keep trying it. It took me over 3 hours before it finally went thru. Ive been scared to use odin every since/
check the md5
try another usb port
using the latest odin?
any other usb devices plugged in? If so, remove them, reboot, try again.
using the usb that came with your phone?
Man, you guys are awesome. I'm always amazed and impressed at everyones willingness to help others in need even if their(my)problems are self inflicted. Thank you.
We just had a baby and are at the doctors office at the moment but as soon as we are done I will get back to it and see what can be done.
Again thanks a million.

Ok first thanks for the words of encouragement with the baby. She is beautiful.
Now back to work. First things first. When it freezes at FACTORY FS what is the safest way to disconnect? Battery pull?(seems scary) x out?(also scary).
I have disabled the driver enforcement but still have the same problem. Thanks though.

Alright so far I have
1. Disabled devices driver enforcement
2. Tried all 3 of my usb ports
3. Currently using Odin3v1.00 (about to search for a newer version)
4. Removed all connected usb devices
5. Rebooted twice
Results = same. Bummer
I have not checked the md5. Not really sure how to and what/where to check. I know its something that I should know by know but never have needed to till now I guess.
MD5 - use Hashtab

That IS an old version of odin, that is known to hang... my signature for going back to stock has files, inc newer ODIN.
I suggest getting a new pit and tar from there too.

I'm still curious as to whether you tried my 2.1 JFD tar package. This will eliminate the thought of a corrupt PDA TAR package. Can you please try it? I replied on page 1. In the past your issue was caused by a corrupt/incomplete TAR package.

I am glad you got it all square man. No need to donate, but when you flash trigger or cm7 you should hook them up. Donate links are above the avatar of the developers.

Hello,
Tough one here...I had a working Verizon Fascinate on eclair, with a bad ESN, and tried to update to stock froyo via ODIN. Windows 7 froze during the flash (SOB), and soon thereafter got a black screen. I've tried to reflash eclair and froyo (phone still shows up in ODIN), but always fails at write. [Complete (write) operation failed.]
Is there any chance or meaningful recovery? Should I repartition or format? At this point looking for any rom or stock software that will work.
Thanks in advance.
I would think your best Bet is to try a different Odin version...1.3, and 1.7 seem to give the best results...if you can get a com port linked in Odin I would flash ed05, or eb01...either of them with the 2.2pit and repartition checked...it should get you up and running so you can reflash the ROM you really want.

I had tried to root a friends I605 or Verizon Note II yesterday and about 3/4 of the way through Casual's one click method on the VramC3 4.1.2 version it failed. This left my phone in download mode and upon removal of battery and reinsertion, the phone just went into a boot loop. This is an error that is known to Casual and is being worked on, same error can occur if you use the wrong version on the wrong software version. This can just be resolved by flashing the pit only file the schI605-16gb.pit which you can find on this forum, in Odin. Just use Odin to flash this file alone in the PIT section not the pda or phone section. Your phone will boot and work correctly. If you discover you have the corret Casual package just retry the process, it worked for me the second time.
Thank you very much for your post. Much appreciated and know this will help out others. I'll add this to the FAQ board.
Where did casual fail for you and what error did you get?
i'll keep this thread saved just in case something goes wrong during my root
This really helps those who got failure through the CASUAL. Thanks a lot!

No problem guys, I know how frustrating it was for me to sit for hours trying to figure out what was wrong, not even being able to flash stock to it. It failed for me right as it was pushing files. I know it failed for several people in older versions, not VRAMC3, at the recovery flash portion of it. I finally took one piece of the alternate flash method, which was to flash both pit and stock firmware, but after that didn't work I instead just flashed the pit. Worked flawlessly.

So I tried to root my Note 2 today. I had rooted it once before using Casual this past summer, but due to circumstances i had to get a new one.The replacement came in today, and i tried to root it with the same methods. I believe my mistake was using Casual while i had 4.3 installed on my device. I'm not TERRIBLY android savvy, but i knew enough to know that if i ****ed up i should stop while i'm ahead and ask you guys.
tl;dr
Long story short, while using Casual to root my Note 2 with 4.3 on it, i got this message
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!ERROR: recovery upload failed!ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!waiting for device
waited for a good 30 minutes, nothing was changing, turned off phone and now it's bricked, looping at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" Splash screen.
I believe i have to use Odin for something but i could really use some help and reassurance before i continue.
Needless to say i will be jamming f5 on my thread until everything is resolved!
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Since i posted this, i tried to flash a stock firmware on Odin (4.1.2 i believe) and it failed halfway through the procedure. with nothing more to be done, i reset my phone, and where before it was just bootlooping, it now shows me an entirely different screen reading "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Since then i have tried a different firmware file, still 4.1.2, Odin get's to the very end of the procedure, and crashes at what i assume is the reboot portion. Desperately need assistance!
You can't flash anything other than 4.3 if you have the 4.3 bootloader.

I found myself in the same situation. Where might I find the PIT file? I can't reboot the phone to get the PIT file because it's soft bricked like mzaric's phone was. I'm using Mac OS X so I'm having to use JOdin3 to flash the stock 4.3 firmware back, but without the PIT file I can't continue and I've searched endlessly to find the PIT file. Also a somewhat related question, I heard JOdin isn't good for flashing big files, but I have no alternative, is the stock firmware which is 1.1gb too big to flash?
EDIT: I sadly didn't search hard enough thank you droidstyle for the guide. But my next question is I'm unsure of what version the phone is because when I originally tried to do the CASUAL unlock I believe it was on 4.1.2, but I think it softbricked to begin with because it was 4.3. Should I just try doing the 4.1.2 and if it doesn't take, retry with the 4.3?
If you flashed n7100 firmware you are screwed. If not just Odin back to stock. You were on 4.1.2 if you were unlocked using casual. Don't go to 4.3
