I'm pretty new to flashing and using Odin. I have the one click lagfix for my vibrant and I really want to flash 2.2 to my device.. I have read that if your coming from a lagfix that I might run into some problems... I'm just trying to find a pain free solution to flashing and using odin...

I currently have 2.2 Froyo installed on my Vibrant, and I want to get back to 2.1before I install Axura204. I tried installing Axura with OCLF and Rom Manager...but no luck, so I figure I might have better luck installing it if I went back to 2.1. Is it even possible to switch to Axura since I am currently using 2.2?
I've only been using an Android for about a week, so please dummy it down for me. If I have to flash something or use Odin, can you please give me step by step instructions?
Quick unrelated questions:
How do you disable One-Click Lag Fix (I tried using the disable-lagfix file, but I think it is still active)?
What is the difference between a kernel and a rom?
Click the icon in your drawer for OCLF and uninstall for there. Pm me for help with your flashing.
I would say just flash with odin and go from there. Do u known how to use it?

How EXACTLY do you flash back to 2.1? What files do I need to do it, and does it work with my existing firmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
To flash to a 2.1 rom, make sure the rom has a 2.1 kernal comes pre flashed. For example, any bionix 2.1 roms can be used.

Was just wondering of this was possible. A friend doesn't want anything custom on his vibrant but wants the speed of voodoo. Is it possible?

yes, its possible.
He must root though.
He has to root, and install the clockwork recovery, then using clockwork recovery flash a kernel WITH VOODOO and then hes done.
Make sure to flash the correct kernels per firmware.
like..
most of the kernels you see on dev section are for 2.2+
2.1 kernels are on a thread made by supercurio about VOODOO kernels, im on a phone and cannot search so i'll leave it to you.
Pretty sure you don't need root to flash the appropriate stock+voodoo kernel in Odin via download mode.

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.

The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.

There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant

What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

From a newly rooted eclair 2.1, can I safely flash 2.3 miui rom variants without flashing the overstock kernel 1.5 from Miui Guide stickies assuming I already flashed CWR via ROM Manager?

Thats the way ive always done it and ive never had an issue

Yes. You should... Not sure why you wouldn't use the method in my guide though. It's a much quicker process...

After much thought regarding the 911 issue with CM7, I have decided to downgrade back to 2.2. Although 2.2 is outdated, it has a better GPS, battery life, and working 911.
What I want to know is how can I wipe everything before downgrading back to stock? This includes all music and various files left around by me throughout the years. I also want to know what the best kernel for 2.2 is in terms of battery life or should I leave it as stock?

format internal and external sd card under mounts and storage in recovery. Bali kernel
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
I don't think formatting will work because the recovery is updated and trying to install and older 2.2 ROM will complain about broken scripts in CWM. You may have to Odin back if I I'm not mistaken.

sorry, and not just my opinion, when you start over start clean and odin to stock, 'ghost in the machine', its real

Yep thanks for the help guys. Now I'm on the process of getting Bali on here as a kernel but I don't know which one to pick. The reguler release or the UV or undervolt release.
