Hey guys, I need some quick help on flashing a new rom/kernel onto my buddies Bell Vibrant GT-I9000M. I am guessing this is the right section since it is called a vibrant lol as I was confused to maybe post in the I9000 Section.
I own a Captivate so I don't know much about the vibrant on how to go about things, figured it would be similar.
I been searching but been having a hard time, and he needs his phone back quick. Was wondering if you guys could help me on how to just get his phone working again. His phone can only go into download mode, recovery 3e, and stays on a constant boot screen. Makes things hard to do. I wanted to do a oneclick odin to stock fix like that captivate has but I don't see one anywhere here. If there is then this whole thing would be much easier.
If not, any one mind giving me some steps on how to use odin 1.7? I figured I'd go with the darky rom and suggested kernel.
Thanks in advance

Looks like your'e in the wrong section, there are lots of threads in the Q&A section about this which is probably where this needs to be posted anyway.
you know how to get in to download mode but you dont know how to odin hmmmm. check the i9000 forum on the right way to get back to stock or whatever then flash away it should be a sticky or thread there explaining how to odin back.
It's different... ur friend vibrant looks more like I 9000then u. S version vibrant.
And don't post it in development section or u will get flamed.. by troll..

This is just bad.
OP, you started off a bad kernel, possibly bad firmware package and very bad description for help.
We can help but not w/o info from your end.
Saying like that just like "oh my car, BMW, doesn't work, can't run"

yep. Zedomax doesnt seem to care that his website sucks. he steals download links from developers and uploads them to his site with no directions or links to the original threads. he needs to quit because his video are horrible also. umm quadrant this, ummm quadrant that bullsh$t. he uses quadrant of all things. that just goes to show that he knows absolutely nothing about android. he's been creating victims since day one that he's posted his websites.

Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

Hey,
So I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 to ICS 4.0.4 before 1-2 months. The new graphics and extra features looked really great at first, but 2 hours after using it on normal applications (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.) It froze and did nothing, like literally just freezes at the screen it lagged on. This has been happening continuously for the past 2 months and I'm really sick of it, I upgraded my phone and my dad's one (both SGS2I9100) using Samsung Kies, ever since that, it just keeps freezing like 4 times a day and I have to take off my battery and re-put it so it can reset since nothing will do this.. The old the firmware I had was the really amazingly going well and never lagged even once (I can't remember which firmware though). I'm a total noob, I didn't and don't have my phone rooted or some stuff like that, expect downloading APKs off the internet lol.
I really want someone to help me in this, I know there must be a solution since I don't think I'm the only one who has been annoyed by this, specially when it happens on a daily routine. I searched over the forums and found nothing. I know there must be something talking about the issue but I'm too nooby to understand the article titles which might be a solution of my problem.
Please help me in my problem it really bothers me and xda is my last hope...
Thank you all.
Note: please use simple terms because I really won't understand, and if you do, please teach me them lol.
Well, first of all your up for some reading.
While you go from thread to thread you'll run into the world of ROMs and flashing.
The first thing you have to know is that your device comes with 4 things:
1) Hardware (dah)
2) Kernel (link between Hardware & OS)
3) ROM (OS)
4) Modem (Baseband for your country / Region)
You are actually on 4.0.4, It's Kernel is known to suffer the brick bug issue.
Flashing is used to get the best from your device, in relation to your personal user experience. You got plenty of options like Stock Roms and Custom Roms, as well as Stock Kernels and custom kernels.
When flashing stock roms you get the chance to get rid of your carrier stuff (bloatware and animation boot) by getting an unbranded ROM (samsung official stock rom), you can either go down to previous versions (Gingerbread, ICS 4.0.3) or even go up (Jelly bean leaked ROM). Carrier branded or not, it's just a matter of choice.
When flashing custom roms you get a whole lot of roms to choose from. The most common are CyanogenMod (CM), RR (revolution remix), Omega and etcetera. These roms take the best of the stock roms and leave the worst, so you'll get a more personalized experience.
When Flashing custom kernels your trying to get the best performance for your ROM, this means you can use a stock ROM with a custom kernel.
Modems are basebands that let your carrier network function in your region / country, so if you flash a modem, your network might not work, so you'll have to flash another modem and so on.
Check all that out and if you decide to go on flashing, we are here to help you on the easiest / safest way to do it.
rembember to read and re-read all first.
you did notice this is now your official post right?
Okay I kinda get it, can you kindly please send me links that will help my problem? I'd rather downgrade with Stock ROM than a costum one.
Another thing, will it affect anything that has to do with my Carier? and does my phone have to be rooted in order this to work? If so how can I?
Many thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
try sammobile.com
they have plenty of stock roms.
I'd personally advice you to get 4.0.3 stock ROM. What's you carrier? I could look it up for you while you learn about flashing/downgrade.
That's what I was thinking of too, and it's Orange IL (Israel)
I need you you to tell me how do it too please

When the guy doesn't read it was a good advice to start doing it, because it's not really allowed to ask everything that is allready asked so many times.
When he actually does read, but doesn't understand (which I don't think because he's asking basic question about steps he must take) then it's maybe better to rethink if he's really going to flash something because he doesn't know what he's doing

Why don't you just flash a stock rom through Odin? No offence but I'm serious, the lack of knowledge you show here by asking about Recovery to me seems to be a sign you shouldn't root it at all, and learn a whole lot more about flashing and more if you want to.

I bought this phone second hand so i dont know about the past of this phone.Also i bought this phone is US and then came to India.
My Phone -

I've read that many people are having problems on galaxys2root.com and have even bricked their phone by Installing wrong kernels.
So can you please tell me which Kernel i should flash ?
And which rom should i flash ?
Also will Flashing a new rooted ROM on my phone Lock my phone with At&t ?

It's best to stay away from that site entirely. The site developer has multiple similar sites for many different phones, and apparently does it for the money, and is not really very good at helping people. Also, while he is a developer, his products sometimes, as you mentioned, cause severe problems.

It's best to make your own choice. The best roms are available on these xda forums. If you don't like the first one you try, you can always switch.

Some of the JellyBean based roms will. SHOstock3 will. Most of the others won't. If that happens, you can unlock it again for free with GalaxSim Unlock, as long as you download it from the developers thread and not purchase it on the market.

Hi Creepy, thanks for the wonderful tutorials. I have an unlocked 777 and rooted with that stickies only.
On a side note, ShoStock 3 will not cause loosing the unlock status for every devices. I haven't lost my unlock status after flashing ShoStock 3.
