hey xda
i just have a simple question.
how do i flash a radio rom?
just rename it to update.zip, put it on my sd card, and flash with recovery menu?
You don't actually need to rename files to update.zip in order to flash them but you can keep doing it if you want.
But yes flash it like you would any rom. Just make sure you have the correct type e.g. GSM or CDMA.
And please try searching this point has been asked and answered so many times before.
hmm i did a search action, but i couldn't find anything
maybe it's just me.
anyway, thx!

Hey guys, so I came home from work to find my girlfriend trying to root her vibrant as you can probably tell I own a Samsung Epic. I believe her phone is bricked and I can not get into download mode. I have watched numerous videos but all shows what to do when in download mode. I can't get past the screen with the exclamation point. Please help because I can't stop her crying. Thanks in advanced guys.

Also...while i have your attention lol...im going to try and root it this time! Do you guys believe that "eddie1west" on youtube is a good try to try and root the phone? He seems pretty legit. He has a video that shows me how to go back to eclair so i can root and a video that shows me how to root? Is this correct? Do you suggest someone else or another method? Thanks..

Also she is coming from froyo..
You can root it in froyo but the question is what do you want to do. If you are going to flash a custom ROM then you need to go back to stock (eclair). Either way, short fuse super one click is best way to get root. Google how to root vibrant with super one click, you should find files and directions. The update zip you referred to is directions to get CWM recovery.

You can download the Superuser.zip and/or the CWR zip from my signature.
If you are just going to root it and leave Eclair on there, then pull the Superuser zip from my signature.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM on there, then pull the CWR zip from my signature (but make sure you have already downloaded a ROM.zip to flash with this).
For Root. Put Supersuser.zip in your Internal_SD card and make sure it is named Update.zip and the only thing on there named that. Boot into recovery using the key combo (Volume +/- and Power, when you see Vibrant come up, release the Power button but keep ahold of the Vol+/-) It will boot into "stock" recovery. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. Might have to hit it twice, then reboot. You should have Root.
For CWR/Custom ROM. Same as above only no need for the Root.zip. Find a ROM that you want to flash (make sure to read OPs) and download it and put it on a folder where you know it will be in the phone. Just put the CWR on your Internal_SD and again make sure it is named Update.zip. Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages, hit it. It will cycle through and the stock (blue) recovery will turn to CWR (green) and you can then scroll down to Install From SD card and find the ROM that you downloaded beforehand.
Some things. Booting into recovery isn't easy and can take you a few times to get it. Also you can root using Z4 app, but you'll have to find that on your own.

how to flash stock recovery on atrix4g?
There is no (easy) way. The simplest way would be to flash a full system SBF, and I'm sure you know what that means (if not, do your homework and search before asking further questions).

Yes, decompile the sbf and extract the recovery img. Just hope that the recovery is in img format

After running the last step of the just released bootloader unlock, I get this.
Cannot open for read, no such file or directory
I'm copying and pasting, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Edit- I got it! Making a backup, now. Bring on those ROMs, boys! Woohoo!
Just a thought but for other folks who might run into this issue, you could describe what you did to fix it - i.e., did you make a typo, did you put the file in the wrong directory...

Re-installed the drivers. Don't know if that was it, but it finally went.

Don't know. Like I said, I re-installed the drivers, and just kept running the commands, and eventually it took.

For me, my mistake was it got downloaded to the downloads folder and that's not the director being accessed. I didn't move it to just sit in the sdcard directory outside of a folder. So, when I ran the second command, I'd get your error. Moving the file solves the problem.

Was that all you needed to do to install the bump unlock and recovery is to flash the IMG file?

Yes because it's the actual Recovery Image ( TWRP ) that's been Bump'd to work on our phones.
Bump isn't an app, it's a modified TWRP.

You are going to follow his instructions but use the files from this OP
OK, so using the above file and his instructions, I go back to stock. At that point, I should be able to (do my own backup again) grab the OTA from AT&T and then go through the bootloader unlock, TWRP and rooting...correct? My stock backup is corrupt, so this is a lifesaver!!!
Thanks!

I haven't tried the OTA part, but yes you should be read only system with a stock system and boot.img, unfortunately I don't have the recovery image which would be needed for the OTA to actually flash.
Either way glad I could help
