Okay, I was stupid and "upgraded" to Froyo using the official AT&T ROM. Now it flashes the AT&T logo at me every time I power it on or go to my home screen. I have to wait three seconds for it to finish before I can see the animated weather.
I wasn't able to put Cyanogen back on afterwards, at the time, because it seems to have locked me out from rooting it. Really, though, I like HTC Sense better than ADW Launcher anyway, which Cyanogen uses and which I'm currently using as my home screen.
Is there any way to get the AT&T logo to stop taking over my notification bar, on HTC Sense? Failing that, is there any way to bypass the new bootloader lockdown so that I can install a new ROM, whether it's CM or an official Eclair ROM?

Search this forum for AlphaRev X software. This software will unlock the HBOOT loader and turn security off so that you can flash a custom recovery and then flash custom ROMs. If you like Sense, then you should check out Liberated 2.2.2 which is a rooted version of the AT&T Froyo update and has fixed the AT&T notification.

So I think I have a bit of a problem. I am rooted but stayed pretty stock. I only froze a few apps and such but I have no custom ROMs or anything. Well today I turned off my phone as it was glitching out (I use a number password and it zoomed in and I couldn't see the numbers to enter my passcode). When she turned back on I went straight to the home screen, no passcode and my home button doesn't work. I have no lock screen (when I hit my powerbutton I go straight to my home screen) All my settings were reset and such. I defrosted all my frozen apps and am ready to unroot and update (currently on ED01) as I think that is the only way to fix it. I would like to unroot to ED01 but the guide here only takes me to flash DL09. I don't want to have to then download ED01 again then ED04. That seems too much. I would like to know if you either know how to fix it so my home button, passcode and such word again or the best way to unroot. Whatever happens I will probably reroot but I would like to know what to do.
The DL09 route is not that difficult or time consuming but you will lose all data on your phone (not your sd card) . If I understand you correctly, you may want to just backup your apps and other data with mybackup or titanium backup then dl09, then update over the air to ed04 then start over the rooting process that you used before.
Or look into landsharks odin thread... http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ed-custom-roms-w-root-updated-06-12-11-a.html
I highly recommend community rom.
Or you could just wait for someone else that might have an even easier fix. Good luck

Do you have a link for where I could get ODIN?
Or does anyone else know a better way to fix it without losing all my data?
I am not that worried about Apps as I am sure I can find them all again, it would suck to lose my island in paradise island though!
Since I didn't install a custom ROM is there an easier way to unroot or will that not fix my problems? I just really would like my home button to work again and have a lock screen back.
I'm curious, do you still have the problem if you boot into safe mode? If you don't know how to do that, just power down your phone, turn it back on, and press and hold the Menu button as soon as you see the Verizon splash screen. Once it boots up, you should see the text "Safe Mode" in the lower left corner of your screen.

I never tried safe mode. However, I did reset it by going back to DL09 and updating.
I want to root again, but if the gingerbread update comes out soon how do I unroot without having to go back to DL09, if I stay on the stock ROM so that I can get the update to 2.3 when it finally comes.
Don't hold your breath for official gingerbread from vzw. From what I have read, the official GB ota update is most likely a long way off. Our fascinate dev community (TSM) is hard at work creating a stable custom rom from a recent GB leak that might be released soonish.
I would again recommend running a custom rom like community rom (kangbang) don't let voodoo scare you away, just read up on as much as you can. Look at http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate-rooting-roms-hacks/
Android central has some forums that are a little more noob friendly that got me hooked on messing with my phone
As far as an easy way to unroot look through the link above.
I hope this helps in some way
The link I use most is (from above post) [How To][Links] Themes, ROMs, Kernels, Boot Animations
Jaekar keeps the page up to date with the newest roms, kernals, and themes. Plus he makes b.a. bootanimations.
It all depends on how deep in the rabbit hole that you want to go.
Worse case scenario, there is always odin

Thank you very much. I guess rooting will commence soon then!
If you prefer stock , rooted, debloated, debinged, deodexed, ed01 which is very snappy as well then you may try what Dear dnoyeb had suggested to me ,

I agree - with both the suggested custom ROM and the opinion on Android Central. After reading up on things, if ComRom ends up being the way you decide to go check out this thread on Android Central for an overly detailed (and therefore hopefully noob-friendly) guide on how you can obtain it.
So im on das bamf 2.0 with the mr2 radio flashed, i could load the rom and use my phone.But then i decided to unroot the phone, so i flashed the stock rom which worked before and took me back to being on stock and unrooted.But, now when i flashed it said Main Version is lower, in red letters. I now have no root with s-on as well. My phone wont boot because apparently one of the boot images i flashed didnt want to get unflashed. I cant do anything in the bootloader that wont end up with it rebooting the bootloader. I do not have usb debugging on because of the fact that i it FLASHED the pgio5mg or whatever it is that you call it, flashed = turning off usb debugging. Should i try to get a new one from big red? what if they get on to me and not give me a new phone thanks to it saying security warning?
Is there any way for me to be able to use my phone again, whether its getting rooting again or downloading an official gingerbread rom, if thats even out yet?
PLEASE HELP IM ONLY 2 MONTHS IN MY CONTRACT!
Also, at the top of bootloader it says SECURITY WARNING.
u have the wrong radio for the stock phone. u need the MR1 radio. since u still have the PG05IMG on your card it is stuck in boot loop. u need access to a card reader so u can remove that file. that will take care of the boot loop. then just install the MR1 radio.
also if u go to verizon as is, they will not honor your warranty.

You just saved me from a life time of nightmares! But that didnt work, pio5mg or not im stuck in a fruit loop!
The first step after flashing pg05img.zip is to remove it from your sdcard.
Sent from my CM7 ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
That didnt worrrrrrrk, i flashed the default froyo rom which is , like 23 MB, and it loaded it, but nothing happened it just returned me to bootloader menu!
As long as there is no file named pg05img.zip on the root of your sdcard, you can get into recovery from hboot. Are you able to get into recovery?
From what I understand, if you have the wrong radio for your ROM, the only side effect is that you'll have no signal from verizon. It sounds to me like you just need to reflash the ROM to get the phone to boot properly.

The default FroYo ROM and NO ROM for that matter is 23MB! Should be 300ishMB for Sense based ROMs.

^^ what I was about to say.
The radios are close to 23MB but not the roms.
BTW, @OP, doesn't sound like you followed the directions when going back to stock as the security warning was one of the disclaimers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
sorry i meant to say the defualt froyo radio is around 23 mb, i will try to flash this huge rom again, but now i have to wait like three hours cuz every time i try to flash the rom it says BATTERY VOLTAGE IS TOO LOW, and i cannot go to recovery it just takes me back to the hboot crap. I never read that tutortial guess i shouldve, i couldve sworn all you had to do was flash the defualt rom, DANG IT, i think that since i was on gingerbread this piece of shi doesnt want to flash the froyo rom, the fact that im now unrooted it doesnt want me to downgrade, god im never rooting again!
I rooted my phone by using the 3 click method by the unrevoked teem or whatever they are, i downgraded using the downgradepgoi5mg zip file found inside the folder, i dont know if that hepls but i hope it does.
Hello,
I just got my SGS2 today. So far, I have rooted it and installed Clockworkmod.
1. When I installed Clockwork, the yellow triangle appeared again at boot and if I tried flashing the secure kernel again I'd lose the custom recovery. What can I do to fix this?
2. Coming from a Nexus S, I really miss the stock Gingerbread look. Is there any way I could have stock Gingerbread on my SGS2? Or at least get rid of all the junk in the app drawer?
3. My phone is on T-Mobile and I get the annoying T-Mobile on and off boot animations. How can I get rid of them? I assume I could flash stock SGS2 animations; in which case, where can I get them?
Thank you so much
Okay, I've managed to push 2 files to /system/media via adb and I believe I have the stock boot animation now but when powering off, I still get the annoying T-Mobile animation
EDIT: It's not the original boot animation from the SGS2 I still need the original

1: Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 or buy a USB jig off eBay to get rid of the yellow triangle.
2. You could just install Launcher2 or flash CM7 / AdamG's devnull AOSP android rom.
3. I'm pretty sure after flashing a custom rom your boot animation will also be wiped to something the custom rom has. Not sure about this one though since I've a unbranded SGS2.
Many thanks for your response.
I have tried flashing the secure kernel back but for some reason I lost Clockwork when I did that so had to flash Clockwork again and live with the triangle.
Will give Launcher2 a look.
And I have managed to get rid of T-Mobile everywhere

You need to read and follow the instructions as you should still have CWM if followed correctly .

but if you flash a secure stock kernel over the custom kernel with inbuilt clockwork mod it's pretty clear u loose CWM at all.
hi guys
I recently bought a 2nd hand Vibrant for a really good price.
As far as i see the Vibrant is already rooted with 2.2.1 Lidroid, and CWM installed.
The battery usage is amazing with this rom, but I still fancy to install some custom GB roms.
I have some questions:
1. I would like to check if I am already on GB bootloader, please guide me to check?
2. If I am not on GB bootloader, I know I must first install it.
I wonder if Vibrant has some stock GB firmwares like captivate does? The stock camera is a must for my case ><
Am i correct if I follow this method from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156832
3.Or actually I can simply flash any custom GB roms directly from where I am (Lidorid 2)
THX
Okay you know if you're not gb bootloaders when you turn on ur phone there's weird rainbow lines
If not then you are
And if you are then yea you can flash any rom
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Let me confirm if you suggesting me to flash the GB roms?
If there's rainbows > froyo bootloader
if nothing > GB bootloader
So can i say actually Gb roms doesnt really need GB bootloader
as long as I am fine with the rainbows?

I've run CM7, and CM9 (ICS) on Froyo boot loaders. For me it just makes the kernel screen flash and show again, then goes on to ROM booting. I'm running a Froyo boot loader right now.
Is lidroid a t959 rom or a t959v?
You need to have a t959 to be in the vibrant 3g section, otherwise you'll probably want the galaxy s 4g section.
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk 2
there is a Lidroid version for T959 - I have a Odin flash with it. I use it instead of JFD.
Want to know if you have the GB boot loaders? Easy -
Hold the Volume up button and the power button at the same time. If it goes to download mode....you got the GB bootloaders.
T959 Vibrant does not have Samsung 2.3 support. Samsung forgot about us after Froyo. There Froyo OTA upgrade bricked so many phones that they wont chance it again.
For 2.3 Gingerbread you will have to download a I9000 port found in our Development section. That said the ICS packages are very nice for Vibs too.

A few hours ago, I was at work and bored.
I started to flash some GB roms without coming back to check this post.
The rom i used was phiremod-fusion-2.1.1.
As usual I nandroid my lidroid before doing anything.
Then I 3 wipes and flash the phiremod rom.
first time the flash was really quick and also rebooted itself.
But only this time I realise I have a newer CWM 5.xx version instead of my 2.xx version (Lidroid)
Ok, i wasn't panic, because i read some where before. It's prefectly fine for a cm7 if the first time it bootloop.
Then I pull battery, and boot into recovery again, to flash the 2nd time.
this time BAAM, prefect. I found myself with a 2.3.x cm7 mod rom.
but as soon as I found the camera apk is actually the MIUI one. I decided to nandroid back to Lidorid.
things turns ugly at this point, when i back to CWM i restored.
But only found some errors CWM said , but I remember CWM did say something like erasing boot.img before restoring.
After the resotre failed, I accidentally reboot my phone.
And now my vibrant only stuck at the typical black boot screen "Vibrant in the middle with samsung at the bottom.
I tried to boot back to recovery, but no luck.
right now I am telling myself i probably need to restore to stock.
Can my fellow xda members guide me the proper way to
1. boot CWM
2. download mode
Given the fact that I am not too sure about which bootloader I am on.
THX people!!
Yup, you'll need to go back to stock. There are plenty of write-ups on how to do it.
Also, NEVER restore a 2.2 backup after you install 2.3 or higher. The file systems and partitions are different. Odin back to stock, install lidroid again, and then try to restore your backup.

After this, I am thinking to ask my colleagueto make one JIG for me.
I'd like to confirm it's same as SGS, i.e. 3 X 10kohm in series
I previously converted my M8 to the Google Edition. Now I'm trying to fully convert back to stock AT&T and already have the stock rom and stock recovery installed. While booting up my phone shows the AT&T splash screen. However before that pops up, instead of seeing the HTC Powered By Android screen, my phone shows the standard Google logo screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? Added pics for clarity.
EDIT: I managed to fix it. First time poster here and not sure how to delete this thread.
there isnt a offical RUU to flash yet for stock sense. might have to wait for it. not 100% on that though
