Can you go back to a rom on cm7? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you?
Or do you have to go to stock.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

You have to flash jfd first for 2 reasons. The first major one being how cwm for gingerbread recovery works, the roms here on xda for the vibrant don't use the new script type required.
The second is the way the partitions are. The cm7/miui uses mtd blocks while the vibrant uses bml blocks, they are not cross compatible.

Flash a kernel with BLN support and search for BLN control in market

i flashed bionix v twiz w/ voodoo....does this have bln support? and if not, what good kernels are compatible with bionix v?
i don't really wanna flash a new rom until a stable GB one comes out
bionix doesn't include a bln kernel. keep an eye in the dead horse kernel thread in development. Eugene may have a final version in the next few days

I'm waiting for ttabbal's. Test version 1 is over in team whiskey forums and for testing purposes it's pretty solid. Voodoo ext4/sound/bln/oc/uv/color...ULF seems to cause problems for most.
Haha guys just use eugene new kernel, it has it and works perfectly

I'm kind of noob, how do I flash a kernel, and can I do out without interrupting my framework and apps on my bionix v rom?

ran into some problems...i flashed both test34 kernel by eugene(supports bln) and the kb1 modem.....lost all my apps, and data wipe.....first, had a boot loop problem, fixed, then came up with no application storage space....just recently fixed it, i think the lagfix interfered with something......but its working now.
and i use bnl control....i actually think that blinky was the problem.

How to root EA28?

Having trouble rooting EA28 for a friend. Tried super one click, adb, and z4, all do not work. Is there an odin package or maybe something I can flash through CWM (that can be installed at the least). We want to be able to run titanium backup BEFORE going to froyo, so flashing ahead isn't an option untill we gain root on stock EA28. Thanks for any help!!!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
If you got to adroidcentral, there is an all in one pack for eb01 froyo that is prerooted and comes with cwr. It is used with odin and pushed through pda. Has sc 2.6 packed in as well. Then you can backup if you'd like.
Don't know if that's what your lookin for, but it avoids having to take more steps to get you to froyo.

I want to backup everything through titanium backup first, then go forward, that won't work just yet (next step though ) but thanks for that fast reply!

If you want to backup your apps, try app monster. Workes for unrooted phones. Then you can flashed and root reatore with app monster then test, reflash to unroot, then restore again with app monter. Not sure what your tryin to test tho...best of luck.

Wait. Lol thought I was in the other post! Lol you can still use apl monster to back up your apps, then flash froyo then restore

I haven't seen one yet, except if you flash 2.1 Apps2SD then you can turn C2C on from there. I used to do that under Froyo before zach's flashable script.

Wouldn't happen to have a link to that, it's probably in roll up if not and can I use the c2c feature without partitioning

Second, no you don't have to use any of the other Apps2SD features that you don't want to including you don't have to partition.
First, here's where you can find the Apps2SD flashable file:

T-Mobile wifi calling app

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how I could get this on my phone. I have a vibrant and my cousin has a captivate and we are both on T-Mobile but I want something like a apk or a flashable cwm zip that would be compatible on both the captivate and the vibrant. Please someone help me, thanks in advance

Not at my pc, but you can do this. Install Bloater (made by a dev here on xda) and use that to install wiring calling. Neat and overall useful app. Here is the link: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=591&

Actually, head to the Dev section and look for EDT Project V ROM thread. In the OP there is the wifi calling .zip file attached which you can flash through recovery. Just did it myself and worked like a charm.

It should work just fine. Check out the 1.3.1 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
He has it listed under "Addons" which you flash yourself, so I think that tells you it works/is compatible w/ his rom. If you want to stick w/ their stuff, head here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bionix-v/files/
Download the samsung-apps.zip, open it, drill into system -> app, and extract the wifi-calling .apk file and install like any other app.
I flashed the wifi calling zip from the project v rom thread and the wifi calling doesn't seem to work. All it says is that it is enabling but it never does. I am on simply galaxy v2.7.2 rom

Page 12 <<<the one on page 12 is the one i used on my vibrant and it works just fine

Both of them did not work on my vibrant, all it does is say that it is enabling but it never really enables it. Do you think it is the model number.

I am unable to mount my vibrant to Odin or any other program for that matter. I believe it is the port itself on the vibrant. It charges but won't mount. Since I cannot mount to Odin in download mode how can I flash to stock so that I can send in for warrant exchange? I'm running the latest pics passion rom. Thank you in advance.

If I'm not mistaken you need Odin to get back to stock. Have you seen anyone else the your current rom's thread suffering the same problem?

Now another question for you! Prior to flashing your phone with the rom did you do a nandroid back up? If so just restore the phone that way. It may work.

You could try to flash one of these, "[ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)"
Not sure if the links are working or not but worth a try.
I didn't make a backup such a novice move I know. Other than those there's no way?
