(Video of my Vibrant's boot screen)
Help? It's just a bit annoying, does anbody know how to get rid of it? It'd be greatly appreciated thanks!
Long story short, I used the Odin program for the captivate on accdident, but I found the Odin program for the Vibrant and got it back to stock. But I still have the AT&T Start Screen.
I unfortunately did the same thing some time back. Everything works fine it's just annoying. Would love to find out how to fix this...

bump in hopes for answers.
I had something similar to this when I flashed Eugene's Vibrantfroyo R3 and instead of the AT&T one I had the GT-I9000.. but when I downgraded back to FranklinTwiz.. it went back to normal.
You could try flashing a variation of Froyo that doesn't brick and see if that helps?

Note: Be sure to have a 2.1 KERNEL on your sd card, flash the 2.1 kernel before downgrading back to 2.1 otherwise a brick will possibly occur.
the OTA update solves the issue!! I'm back to normal after my update!!

That sounds promising! Will have to give it a try. *Hope it works*
FYI, The method above about installing the Froyo build did not work for me. It did chage how the startup screen looked, but not the initial boot screens. Back to the drawing board...

Thanks! Was driving me nuts!
Ok so i restored my stock backup because i needed to do a fresh install of unnamed. now when i turn the phone off it comes right back on and when i try to go into recovery it just continues booting up. what have i done and what do i need to do?
Even with phone on you can press and hold power and both volume up and down. Keep holding it and it will boot you into recovery.

there is no need to go to stock to do a new rom flash
The problem is fixed but now i face a new dilemma. When i go to turn the phone off it comes right back on. Even with a hard shut down. Also happens when i pull the battery and put it back in. It will turn on again by it self. I am on unnamed 1.3.1 with the blue monkey theme. Any ideas?
what if maybe your power button is tweaked?
I guess warranty wouldnt cover it because I'm rooted?

If you revert the root using entropy rom and a jig you can return it for warranty work undetected.

Ok I'm honestly baffled here. My battery life has been terrible. Here's what has been done recently. two days ago I restored my stock back up and flashed unnamed 1.3.1. Noticed my battery was dying very quickly. So I went into cwm. Wiped data, cache and davik cache and reflashed unnamed 1.3.1. My battery is dying no exaggeration about 10% every 40-50 minutes. In addition to all this...my phone wont stay turned off. It turns it self on after about 2 seconds. Ugh please help me.

Wow. That's pretty rough. I say go back to 100% stock and see how it goes. If it still is dropping that fast your battery may be bad.
Sent from my páhhōniē
The phone screen turning back on so often says "rogue app" to me.
I really appreciate the replys. I'm going to take one more day and see how it goes...if its still not working right ill be buying a USB jig and learning how to get back to stock.

Also when you say go back to 100% stock...do you mean like restore my stock back up? Or am i going back to 100% stock unrooted? Or what? I've seen a couple threads, I'm just confused so I apologize. If you could guide me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Use Entropy512's return/unbrick to stock package. Or I have an Odin3 OneClick Downloader of his package is you prefer. It's a little easier. See the link in my signature.
There is no such thing as a backup of 100% stock. To make a working nandroid backup, you need to already have a custom kernel installed.

Thank you so much. I will check it out when I get home. So after I do that I'll still be rooted? Or do I need to root again before I flash a rom again? I promise im almost out of noob questions.
And I might try getting a new battery to fix the other problem. I'd hate to have to send my phone in for warranty
EDIT: ok i just looked at your link with odin 3. say i use the one without root. i would essentially be bone stock out of the box correct? and from there i could just start over, use the guide on how to root, etc.?

The only difference between the two packages is one will give you root while the other will not. If you go with the one with root you will be 100% stock aside from root. I only recommend going 100% because then you'll know it won't be any rogue apps draining the battery or issues from a custom rom. If you get the expected battery life stock rom has then you'll know the battery is good. If it's lower than what is usually is for stock rom most at&t stores will replace the battery on the spot for you.
So no benefit of going with the package without root unless you're taking it back to at&t.

indeed i will sir.
although i do have another question..sorry. Ok so when i first rooted i became acustom to CWM and flashing unnamed rom themes in that. After i used odin3 one click it gives me the android system recovery 3e and ive never seen it before. can i still flash unnamed through this or do i do something different?

sorry.
Hey everyone, I googled this and searched xda and I can't find anything so I thought I would just ask.
I am running a pre-rooted stock rom with the update. Completely stock except for root. When the screen has been off for a few minutes it will autorotate to landscape a second after I unlock it. This happens even when the phone is completely still, and vertical. I am lost as to why this is, as it does it about 90% of the time. Locking the phone and then immediately unlocking it doesn't recreate the problem, the screen has to be off for about 3-5 minutes. It is irritating. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

go to settings, display, and uncheck autorotate on...hold the power button and press restart, do not turn off and on, just press restart...the go back and check autorotate on again...see if that helps.
That seems to have helped. Tried to recreate the issue a few times since trying the fix above, and it isn't doing it. Still early though. I'll post again if it persists. Thanks for the help

Okay, so the problem it's still there. I had to go to work shortly after my last post and just got home and around to posting about it. I don't seem to recall having this issue with the stock rom without the ota update. Guess I'll just have to wait for a good rom to flash, and how that the problem is gone. Thanks for the tip though.

there are always going to be some bugs with roms, even with the cyanogen mod rom, which is the biggest of them all there are bugs...even with oem stock roms there are bugs...all you can do is try another one, or contact the developer
Hello all!
Long time reader here.
I've been looking for answers to this for several hours now and haven't been able to find anything that works.
I bought my Photon new about 2 months ago. Immediatly I rooted and unlocked it, with the thought that I was going to play around with custom ROMs as I did on my Epic 4g.
Anyway, this evening I decided to go ahead and put a new ROM on. I did the usuals, delvak, formats, etc.. I started with Joker's Skinny rev1. Install went great, but I was unable to use wifi. I couldnt even turn it on. It just says "Error" on the wifi settings menu. So I did some research and I found out that this is a common problem and simply needed a dhd.ko file to be replaced. So I did via 7zip and reflashed. Still no wifi. I then tried to give ACS's ROM a try, and same thing. So again, I replaced the dhd.ko file and reflashed. Still no glory. I also went ahead and re-unlocked the bootloader again just in case(read a few issues of that messing with wifi).
So needless to say, I can't figure out how to get my wifi back. I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, if it matters, I live state-side. I don't have anything frozen either. Just a freshly installed ACS ROM.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

I really need to update skinny. I plan to do a source build and edit it to death. Cm9 has my free time tied up. It won't be too much longer and I'll get everything going on cm9. Luckily rocko roms are turning out great. Eventually I'll go back and update my blur roms.

Scripts have nothing to do with your camera. It simply changes a few things to make it faster. Great for stock rooted roms

Why is the rom you pointed me to so heavy?! I think it said 427MB. Biggest ive ever seen!
Any ideas on what is causing the wifi issue?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
The radios are sensitive. The wifi driver must be compiled to the kernel you are using. In skinny unlocked it is. Skinny complete is the newest and has an awesome web top modification. Uncompressed its 2 gigs.

So, recently, my touch screen has been pretty wonky. Sometimes it doesnt work at all and even pulling the battery and booting it back up doesn't fix it. Sometimes when it locks The screen isn't responsive afterwards to unlock but then locking and waking the screen again fixes it. Just wondering if there is a fix for this or if anyone else has had these same problems. I've trued full CWM wipes and Fastboot wipes and also tried different ROMs. Any help would be cool but if not I may just have to ditch the MAtrix for a different phone until my upgrade.
What is your phone currently running at the moment?

So, I've been using the Wet Dream blur ROM for the past week and it's acting about the same way. I haven't had to go to the extreme of wiping it yet while on Wet but unresponsiveness is still a problem here and there.
EDIT: I haven't had touch capability since the 10th. I've tried flashing a couple other ROMs to no avail and don't really know what to do at this point.
Is a warranty claim even possible or would it just be a futile effort?
EDIT II: Sent it in on a warranty claim. We will see what happens I suppose. If not, I'm going GSII
EDIT The Third: Well, after fruitcake back to stock I sent it in and they fixed it all up and sent it back to me. So, that's that for what it's worth. Like the sig says my MAtrix got stolen so I'm on to the GSII forums but I'm definitely going to keep up with what's going on with Atrix.
