well, almost bricked my phone, but got it back to flash the rom correctly, and unfortunately i have no signal or wifi...kinda freakin out here, tried to do factory hard reset, and it just resets the rocko rom. I, like a retard, didnt do a backup when i installed bootstrap....so anyone have any ideas here on how to get my phone back to a quazi stock state? I can't flash any sbf's because of the OTA update....please..help...
****, this is starting to be too much on my head.
Rocko is based on 198_7, so now the libmoto_ril.so and modules (xxxxx.ko) doesn't correspond with your radio and kernel.
I don't even know, if your previous system was 254_12 or 254_13.
http://d-h.st/aAi - modules
http://d-h.st/BmX - libmoto_ril.so
All files in /system/lib push into your phone - /system/lib
lol no idea either. Thank you for the quick response. Well unfortunately I really need my phone today as i'm picking up my kids, didnt think I would run the risk of screwing anything up by flashing a "locked" rom on my "locked" phone but apparently that is not so lol. My fault for not doing a backup. So atm, im flashing the electrify SBF, hoping i can get some functionality back. How ill get back from there, I have no idea, but hopefully this helps a little, for now.
Rocko roms are not supported anymore, it's written there.
Why didn't you wait for a while? This would be easy to fix.
Because I have a job interview today, and have to pick up my kids, and now judging by my phone redirecting me to a verizon wireless operator, i will be doing all that without a phone....awesome lol. Sooo....heres my conundrum now....and i appreciate you helping me....any ideas how to revert my phone back to a sprint SBF? And than...just basically getting it back to some working order, I dont care how.
There is no sprint sbf for your phone.
What is your phone detailed status now?
Flashed the radio fix i wasnt supposed to apparently...anyways, umm
system 45.1.190.mb853.usc.en.us
model electrify
android 2.3.5
baseband n_01.28.07r
webtop w-1.2.0-131_6
kernel 2.6.32
build 4.5.1a_sun_usc_19.0
i guess i'm just going to have to set it on fire...at least the gps works, ttty when i get back.
Ok. Easy fix. At least you can read and help yourself.
easy fix!? lol, from what I was reading I can't flash my SBF backwards, unless there is a stock sprint photon 2.3.5 sbf floating around somewhere, and the biggest thing Is apparently i switched the towers for Verizon somehow (I believe the electrify towers) lol, cuz I flashed the radio fix labeled
2.3.5sv2_198_7_radio.sbf.zip
sooo ya...
Anyone know how to get this bastard back to a usable condition lol or can point me to the thread? I can figure it out from there, I just need a SPRINT 2.3.5 SBF, or a way to get back to it.
Yes, easy fix. Easy fixes are not always the best.
There is no 2.3.5 sprint sbf and looks like never will be.
lol, well, anyway you can think of getting my phone to dial through sprint towers now though? Cuz it keeps trying to activate through verizon towers. I could care less if I have to keep the us cellular crap on there for now, but I would appreciate if my phone worked. God I hope a 2.3.5 stock sbf comes out lol....but ya if you could hlep me with getting this back on the correct towers that'd be freakin awesome lol
God why did I do this...I'm usually pretty tech savvy but this process has made me feel like an a**hole...If worse comes to worse, should I call motorola or sprint first?
I am not sure about cdma. Basically you reflashed the radio, so it was reseted, now you probably need to update your prl or what? First root it and install bootstrap. Then you could install mof 2.3.5ish rom. But you will be back where you were on the beginning and we are returning to the 1st post of this thread. 2nd post and the modules file is your way out(+ do not install libmoto_ril.so and I will give you 1 sbf file, if you will listen this time). Lol.
It could be more easier before.
lol ok, I will install bootstrap and put the old mod back on. will that fix the phone from thinking it's an electrify? And ya send me the link to the SBF for the radio.
well, I'm not sure how the hell i did it, but I now have my phone back mostly, under the MOF rom, it recognized the sprint towers, I have 3g, no 4g, (which I dont care) but I don't have wifi. So I guess all I need now is the WIFI if possible?
Probably the wifi lib is for the 2.3.4. Ver and why its not working.

Will this work on my phone if I install the modules? I wanted to ask you, before I went crazy trying different recipes for the fix. Saw you helped quite a people get back 4g, text, service. As of right now, I have electrify sbf, radio sbf, root, & bootstrap. As you know what works, any solitions oh wise peetr & mo. Either way it will have to wait until tomorrow, as I dled the wrong wifi driver for PC today when I was finishing up new hdd and restore. No ethernet setup in the house.... I know pretty stupid but what can I do...

YES, SOLVED, it sounds like you're in the same boat as me man, and I put on MOF's rom for locked, then flashed the an SBF (I will post the name here) and used bootstrap to flash a Zip of modules, now my phone is back to normal, WIFI, and 4G....I owe peetr alot. Holy ****balls.
The SBF is
2.3.5_45.4.13ota_unbrick_no_system
http://d-h.st/TeB
and the modules you use bootstrap to install is called
2.3.5_254_13_modules
http://d-h.st/aAi
let me see if I can upload them
not letting me upload them, but i will provide the links peetr sent me hold on
let me know if it works jelly bean
Working on the sbf dl right now, should be able to get this done without my PC tonight, well still gotta use rsd, but no internet needed.
Hope this is a fix for tonight, gonna try to help mof test tomorrow hopefully!

Can someone lead me to the files I need to flash my Fascinate back to 2.1 from the Froyo update. I'm not sure what files or Odin i need to do this. I'm having an issue with my 3G disappearing and dropping since going to the OTA froyo and never had problems with it on 2.1 so i'm trying to go back to stock 2.1, maybe even try to goto Froyo again [maybe something got corrupted or something]. Before i got about getting a new one, i'd like to see if I can flash back to 2.1 and get it working again.
There's a stock package that you can use to Odin back to DL09 (eclair) here. That same thread gives an easy way to get back to froyo if you want to try again.
Alternatively, if you're just having connectivity issues, you could simply try another radio. Some people have a better time with DL09 modem, at least compared to EB01 and EC01 (not sure whether anyone finds it better than the current one), and you can Odin just the modem here. You might want to try this first and see if it does the trick. DL09 modem works fine with leaked froyo releases, so it should be okay with the official one.

Do you think changing the radio version or whatever will fix my problem here. I mean in my search to find out if anyone else has been having their 3G randomly disappear i havent see to much report. I just dont get how it was working fine with 2.1, once i installed froyo it started this problem, now im flashed back on 2.1 and it seems still "broken." Even the Verizon techs had no idea what was going on with it when i took it in. I mean can software screw up the hardware?
I was told by a Verizon rep that they knew that this OTA update would cause this problem in a certain percentage of devices and they just sent me a new one. The second in 2 weeks. When I went in and complained they just went straight to the computer and ordered me a new 1 both times, no ?'s asked really. Just hope you're still under warranty.

For those of you who haven't gotten a new phone yet or found this, here is the fix for this headache of a problem
http://mobiletech.knguyentu.com/2011/04/samsung-fascinate-random-3g-disconnect.html
Hey fellow xda members,
I have to check out my sisters vibrant this weekend.... (she is so not tech friendly)
Its her 3rd vibrant and all had same issues... Rebooting, dropping signal and data and the whole not sending sms and mms messages.... She talked to tmobile and they had no clue and essentially gave up on her....
What are my options to trying to get this working for her. And/or what can/should say to T-mobile about resolving this issue... They offered her an exchange at one time but it was a very low end phone... Not a good deal if u ask me..
1. Tried rooting on her first phone-wasnt successful...(i didnt root it so not sure)
2. Possible bad kernel or radio causing these issues... Hard to believe that 3 phones .
3. Still running stock software as tmobile told her not to update phone to latest software . (she did that with her 2nd phone and same result)
4. Could rooting and a finished rom resolve some or most of her issues?
(I have had several android phones and all were rooted so i know)
5.... CLUELESS....
Well if your trying to update your phone to froyo id recomend you to flash a custom rom from the vibrant developement if you dont know how to root your fone download the vibrant toolbox on your pc and it has like 10 steps (all of them are in order so you wont get confused and since your phone its not rooted theres and option that says ROOT YOUR PHONE start from that step.. click on that box and it tells you the steps and what you should do but you must have usb debbugin ebabled

Odin to 2.1 then d/l rom manager then root then get Biwinning or Trigger or ZenDroid all are Froyo roms all will resolve you problems
The problem you are having is a result of human action......... the chances of 3 phones all having the same problem is like winning the Lotto.......
Human action I love it!!!! Lol will show my sister that. . Lol

I went over to my families house the other day and my sister said, "look its doing it again". When I looked over the phone was shutting down and rebooting. I asked her if it did that alot and she said it had just started in the past few days. She did not mention dropping data connection or having problems with sms or mms. A while back I rooted her phone and added MobileAP but that is all. Everything else is still stock and no official updates were applied either.
My plan is to backup all her stuff this weekend and flash something onto it. I told her we would find a good stable ROM for her and some theme options she would like and just do it all on sat or sun. I'm not sure if that is gonna fix her problem as I wanna believe its a hardware defect but she doesn't wanna exchange it just yet and I'm done arguing with her. If that doesn't werk I told her we would have to put it back to stock and call T-mobile. That's our plan, hope it helps on ur decision. Good luck!
@kawika thanks it didnt help lol
Im going to root her phone and install Iunno looking at a 2.2 rom maybe...Trigger rom.
I cant believe that three phones later she has same issues.. Specially since her hubby and daughter have a Cliq xt and have better reception then hers...
? do i need to install a new modem/radio as well as flashing rom? And how do I know which is the right one?

And you stated in the OP, she is on stock software. For sure? The rebooting when signal dropped low was a bug in the services.jar of our initial i9000, android 2.2.1 ports. This was of course patched by Eugene373 with further work by birgertime (and some fumbling by myself) in the official ports of 2.2.1 for the Vibrant. If she is definitely on stock software with no mods though, then that doesn't apply, but was my first instinct.
Most roms we have out now, with the exception of GingerCloneR3, come bundled with modems. They are most likely the modem that the rom chef/dev likes the best, but you can always flash a new modem on top of a custom rom. Different users in different areas have different results with different modems. Gotta test them to see what works the best for her.
Flashable modems are all here, courtesy of scrizz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
Those can be flashed over any rom, just make sure you grab a 2.2 modem for froyo, or 2.1 for eclair respectively.
You might want to start with running Odin to flash her back to stock software, and then go from there. If you are going to do that, I recommend a modded Odin package by Eugene, available here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3 . Its stock-ish JK2 Froyo for the Vibrant, already rooted, with superuser and busybox, and modded 2e recovery so you can easily flash and install Clockwork Recovery if you choose to do so. That file is my go to, when all else fails and I need to get back to stock.
Good luck with your endeavors, hope some of this helps.
she is def on stock 2.1 for sure.!.
thanx... will keep yaz informed heading on the road now.. b there in 5plus hours
This sounds very familiar to problems my Vibrant was having. It turned out to be a flakey SIM card. I went to my local T-Mobile store and they swapped it for a new one at no charge. That fixed all of my SMS & connectivity issues. It might be worth a try, it definitely wouldn't hurt anything to get a new SIM card put in.
Lol she had one replaced as well and same issue..

I sold my 3D to someone and have been trying to put a new rom on it for em. Everytime I flash a 2.3.4 rom everything works EXCEPT during a call you can hear the person talking but they cant hear you. And I know the speaker works because voice commands work fine but during it call it doesn't work, period.
Sounds Like a personal phone issue..I've been on 2.3.4 with multiple roms and never had this issue.
Sent from a little place called ETERNITY in the 3rd Dimension.
I never had that problem running 2.3.4 ROMs either.
I honestly don't get it. Every 2.3.4 rom I tried to put on the phone would have the issue with not being able to be heard during a call. I tried 4 different roms and had the same issue everytime. Put a 2.3.3. rom on it and I could be heard during calls fine. I dunno but I got tired of fooling with it.
I did notice one thing though... when wiping in recovery I got an error that said
E:can't give path "/sdcard/.android_secure" to format_volume
Think that might have something to do with it?
OP, did you do the EVRC-B mod? If so, undo it.

I don't even know what that is lol. This is basically the scenario. I can flash ANY 2.3.3 rom or lower than that and everything works perfectly fine. But as soon as I flash any rom with a 2.3.4. base everything works except for callers being able to hear me. It's crazy... I even tried the stock 2.3.4. deodexed update and it was the same thing. Flash a 2.3.3. rom and boom, they can hear me again.

The EVRC-B mod enhances voice, the same settings found on Verizon phones but in some cases it might not be supported by the tower. Its accessed in the EPST edit menu, via your MSL code.
But if you're flashing the ROMs with voice performance changing, I'm not sure whats going on. As I seriously doubt the EPST settings get changed by the ROM.
I could be wrong.
I don't know either... im clueless. First time i've ever had a hangup like this when flashing. I put it on the phone for her and everything was all good until she got a call and realized they couldn't hear what she was saying. I thought maybe it was a bad flash but hell i've tried every rom in the development forum almost.
none
Give the guy his money back, put it under your car tire, then smoke the tires, that phone sounds retarded.
Try revolution by Mike and see if that shows the same issue.
If it does then either your doing something wired while flashing, have some app messing crap up, or its hardware problem somehow.
Likely its user error somehow though. I dunno any roms that flip evrb on for voice by default for the mere fact that its not supported everywhere.

But how would it be user error only for the 2.3.4. roms lol. Im sayin... i'm not doing anything different. Just download, transfer from pc to sd and flash through recovery like I always have. If it was user error it seems like id have problems with the 2.3.3. roms too. I gave up on it though.. technically it's not even my phone anymore lol
I was cheesecaking yesterday and after I was done for the say I made a nand backup of it and went to restore my normal nand. BSR froze during it and I had to battery pull after waiting forever. So I had to SBF. I went to restore again and all the md5 sums were mismatched. So I did a wipe and SBF'd again. Still no data connection. I tried it a few times again and finally went into settings and did a full wipe sd cards included and restore to factory settings. Internet came back but sometimes still wont connect like when idle for a while.
My questions now.
Can a nand restore that freezes cause this? How can a SBFing not totally fix this? Since I woke this morning and had no data until I rebooted is my phone screwed? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I know that sometimes u may have 3gto issues after sbf and a data wipe from stock recovery
Have you tried dialing *228 and reprogram your phone?
I would do option 1...then call again and do option 2
U may also want to try sbf back to 2.2.2....data wipe from stock recovery...cache wipe as well.
then set up phone and take both OTAs to get back to 2.3.4
Don't try to restore any old nandroid...
Start over
---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
But first just start with the *228
Have u done that at all since ur sbf/wipe?
---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------
I had this same exact issue b4 when I had a nandroid restore freeze on me as well...
I believe this is how I fixed it...I am not totally positive tho.
I am trying to remember exactly what I did.
I don't.know if I posted anything about it at the time tho....
I did that last night after every attempt. The only time it worked was after I was on stock blur and did the factory reset in the settings and included the sd cards on the wipe. Then it took the *228 but I never tried option 2. Maybe I should *22899 also. I don't have the old backups as they were list in the wipe not that they were usable. If the *228 option two or the *22899 I will download the froyo SBF and try that direction. So sux. Can't believe recovery locked up on me I was soo happy with my setup.
Thanks for the assistance. I hope the *228 works

Oh yeah...another quick tip
Verizon recently had trouble with their 4g services.
now I know this is 3g. But it IS a very real possibility that there may be some tower issues in your area or something with the service itself is screwy.
Don't rush anything or get to worked up at this point.
It's still early to tell whether its ur phone itself having problems or something else.
also. For some reason I have seen things like this justkind of "work themselves out" lol....
It would be one heck of a coincidence. I was gonna give it a few days before I brought my stock phone back to Verizon anyway just in case it did work itself out. My luck they'd give me a d3 or something gross like that with a keyboard XD
Oh and a question. I know almost nothing about 4G but isn't 4G ran off of gsm and not cdma? Thought 4g phones had sims
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I know almost nothing about 4g lol.
I guess I should do some research at least just for my own knowledge lol
(Edit...I am not mocking u either lol...I just realized it might look like that lol )
I did t think you were mocking me lol. Well I got sick of the way the phone data was working or not working I guess would be the right way to say it and well went to froyo and updated up. Will know something tomorrow I wish I had wrote my kernel down but I'm sure of wasn't 00005 like it is now. I swear it was a different kernel which may have got stuck from the cheesecake I was last on when the restore froze. Hopefully that was it. Ill know more tomorrow.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yeah I was gonna ask u bout kernel also.
But sbf should have changed that
Who knows. Maybe something just went screwy
Keep us posted on what happens. I for one am very curious to see if this worked.
How's it looking so far?
Also. Do u use the battery/data manager?
I think the default after a data wipe is nightsaver or something. Which will kill ur data after non use over night. Maybe that is causing an issue
First thing I do is change that to performance. I know the SBC should have changed that I'm sure it wasn't 00005 but not 100%. Well after about 7 hrs of sleep I had a solid data connection when I woke up. Seems soild so far.
I have an increased signal reception I know my basement. I can use data on the phone if I'm not touching it (I live in bfe ) so that's a plus.
Activation worked without a hitch after going the froyo route as well. Ill have one more update on this thread t
later but I hope my recovery never locks up during a restore again

Good to hear.
If this stays true add [SOLVED] to beginning of thread title in case anyone else experience this they will know a way to fix.
My idea truly was a "shot in the dark" lol.
OK will do. I needed an idea cuz I was out and sometimes you just need an outside shot in the dark. Thanks. Ill put that in the title when done with a synopsis of it all if it holds till tomorrow.

Another thought. It might not be a bad idea to run chkdsk on your sd card. There's a reason the restore froze and being that all the checksums were mismatched, one has to wonder if there's something going on with that card. If so, it could be a source of more problems in the future. Just a thought. You can do with it what you want.

The locking up of BSR might have corrupted it and caused errors with my backups but the issues after I sbf'd 2.3.4 led me to believe it was something is causing my 3g issues. It appears the sbf to froyo has fixed it though.

Im thinking there may have been some "rogue" system data maybe related to the kernel that wasn't being wiped or fixed via sbf.
I do t know enough to diagnose the actual problem. But I know enough to troubleshoot them lol.
It would just be great to know exactly what the root cause of this problem was so that we know exactly what to do to fix it.
I hope it stays working for ya.
I still think it might have been a network issue also. Did u ever call Verizon and ask if they had any tower issues in your area or something they were doing to the network during the days/times u experienced the issue?

I still think it might have been a network issue also. Did u ever call Verizon and ask if they had any tower issues in your area or something they were doing to the network during the days/times u experienced the issue?

No I never did call Verizon. My friends up here on it had no data issues plus I traveled a bit with the phone to different tower areas and still had the same issues. I was thinking the same thing about the rogue system data. I think while it was restoring the 2.3.4 backup from the 2.3.5 updated kernel and the freeze might have left something in there that was probably something the similar 2.3.4 kernel couldn't overwrite or rid itself of. Then the different froyo kernel overwriteit with a completely different kernel and shazam. Well that's my guess. I wish I had the exact cause though. Still working good though

Summing this mess up.
BSR froze during a restore to my normal 2.3.4 custom rom setup from chessecaking and installing 2.3.5 updates. SBF'd 2.3.4 but had bad 3G issues after that. Multiple 2.3.4 SBFs later still had 3G issues.
On Ash's advice I tried 2.2.2. Seemed to be better but not 100% I then went to a different computer (mine is a way underpowered netbook running Win 7 and I am not sure it was finishing but it came up pass)reinstalled all of it and ran RSD 5.4.4 in XP compatability mode. SBF'd 2.2.2 again and rode the updates up.
That has for sure fixed it to 100% Im back to a custom rom and stead 2mb downloads when I have good service...unlike at home
Whish I knew what caused BSR to lock up during the restore in the first place and I dont know if RSD 5.4.4 has issue with Win7 or not but a few things including mods I was running in my backup that was restoring could have caused it to go ballistic.
I am perfectly happy with ics but I haven't seen a thread stating if you could just rsd back to. 173 if you installed the cheesecake leak. Hopefully this will generate a positive answer from someone that has actually done it.

Thanks, I'm curious myself.
I'm not ready to give up ics but I have only had it 3 days. If it turds I need a backup plan. I hope it works for you

It does turd. Day 4 here and I'm currently RSDing right back to stock then onward to .173
Couldn't take the following anymore:
Pull down curtain becomes TOTALLY unresponsive at random times. Hot reboot required to fix.
After dialing a phone number, talking, hanging up and the going to make another call, the previous phone number I dialed is there causing me to dial a 20 digit number
Google Voice notifications do not stay in the curtain. They notify then automatically get deleted.
WiFi connectivity drops out random, dconn and reconn to fix.
Prepare for De-Turding!
...and now you know, folks, why we're apparently getting another Gingerbread update prior to ICS. Development can be fun, but be certain--Motorola knows what they're doing.

Did you do a full wipe after you installed the leak? I have a few minor issues but its still running good. Froze 30 apps though lol
My Wi-fi is bad on Gingerbread anyway.
For some reason, this Razr doesn't have the signal strength of all the other Android phones I have.
Note, while writing this message, I had a signal Drop out again ffs
Mine acted a bit strange until i did a factory reset, running zero problems since Sunday

Should always wipe after a major update like this.
I installed the ICS leak via Cheesecake and have since RSD'd back to. 173 and re rooted. Just follow the fastboot instructions and you'll be fine.

Personally, I've been very content with GB. When I started seeing all the ICS leak posts, I got curious and thought, "why not?"
I've tried it, and actually thought the leak was very nice. However, I felt better going back to stock for now as it looks like a new GB OTA will be released soon, and hopefully ICS not too far after.
Really liked what I saw in the ICS build.

Everyone on the leak will begin to experience what I did. It's unlikely, but possibly, that I have a defective phone, so it'll happen.
I did do a factory reset, full wipe etc. and everything was incredible for about 4 days. Then as someone else so eloquently put it, ICS started to "Turd" on me.
Once it does that 100 times or so, you start thinking about "DeTurding" which is you're only option.
sadly, ICS isn't ready, nor will it be if we wait on Motorola.
Devs, start your threads! I'm willing to pay you to finish ICS!
Any chance you have a link to the files?

the cool thing though, is that we have "the" ICS base including kernel to build off of.. granted, we can't make many kernel tweaks beyond what's 'allowed' w/ a locked bootloader, but I believe having an ICS kernel directly from Moto will help w/ the CM9 builds etc..
Lots less to go wrong w/ having proper drivers etc. to work off of.
(hopefully anyway)
EDIT:.. I just fastbooted back to .173 and all seems well
I just installed ICS today, and I haven't experienced any of these problems at all. I'm curious as to how many of you factory reset after the install? Everything I've read says factory reset after install does the trick.
I absolutely love ICS! (but I'm glad to hear RSD works if I DO run into any problems)

I was trying to fast boot back earlier today and it it would get to the 5th item of flashing and give me an unknown error and fail. Luckily Matt G was able to flash back the 4G radio for me. He mentioned deleting the OEM lines will clear the errors.
I am not the greatest when it comes to command lines and all that junk. I have only ever used his utility but 1.5 wasn't restoring the 4G either. Now I have 1.51...
Is RSD just simply download the file, select the "uncompress and flash" or is there some other modification needed to flash the file?
Just hoping someone with a bit more know how can chime in.
*UPDATE:I re downloaded everything and it worked. Must have just been a bad DL of the RSD File.
