Phone is rooted and I believe Ive got a lag fix installed.
No idea what I need to do - did a quick looksie through the JI6 thread and I didnt see anything in particular about the update ****ign up anyones phone.
EDIT: The update is called JI6 right? Whatever I got automatically from tmobile is what messed it up.
I'm having the same problem. I'm thinking its because I had the lag fix before this.
If you have the voodoo lagfix then you may have to use odin to fix things. See the instructions on the first post of the thread for Simbionix for that.
With other lagfixes you may just be able to wipe the phone. Can you still access recovery?

I can access recovery. I really didnt want to lose things like contacts saved on my phone even though I dont give a piss about anything else. I dont think the contacts copied into SIM so I may be screwed on that.
If you had your Gmail synced, all the contacts should be on your gmail account, and it will not be wiped

Your contacts should be saved on your google account unless you disabled that.

Sweet. I dont use Google regularly so I didnt even think about the contacts syncing to it.
What is my next step? What should I do? The ODIN thing?
It's a google phone, but u denied to use google service frequently, then you deserve the punishment
Just kidding. I think Odin is the only solution here. And don't forget to use google service after getting your phone back from death =D

Hi,
The same thing happened to me.
I pushed bionix 1.6 to sdcard with adb.
Then flashed it with clockwork.
I am up again.
What a tmobile nighmare.
to disable vodoo lagfix
A quick and easy way to disable voodoo lagfix, is to just create a file or a folder inside of the voodoo folder called "disable lagfix". Worked for me, hopefully this helps.
same thing happened to me. The update was waiting for me when i woke up, so i hit the damn button without thinking about it (i had one eye open!!).. now i have a nice "vibrant" screen.. oi. Simply wiping the phone does nothing, so Im going to try the 2.2 to 2.1 fix.. here goes nuthin..
Same thing here. I had a lag fix (not the voodoo one) and a GPS fix. Not sure which solution to go with. I'll wait for some more replies with simple and easy fixes to appear.
EDIT: I was able to reboot holding power and volume buttons and got it to ClockWork recovery. I guess my next step at this menu would be to "install zip from sdcard" but how would I go about getting the Bionix_6_stock.zip file onto my SD card?
you'll be fine
take out battery and hold power up/down buttonswithe buttons pressed insert battery. you should see Vibrant logo once continue to hold once it goes blank then let go of all exept down button you should be in stock recovery now if you had clockwork recovery press reinstall packages you should now by in clockwork recovery if so flash again or flash some thing else hopefully a nandroid back up... good luck but you problem does not seem that serious keep at you'll be fine

Do you have adb setup? If so, put the bionix ROM in the tools folder of your SDK & type:
adb push *file directory/file name* /sdcard
GL, please update.

Hmmm I think I remember about this other way to boot up where you can push stuff to the phone. How do I do that again? I have only been able to get to the Clockwork Recovery screen and need to get the Bionix zip file from my PC to the Vibrant using ADB which yes I have and it did work a while ago. I just forgot how to boot in that mode. Thanks!
I'm stuck as well. One small difference. I DO NOT have a lag fix installed. I uninstalled the One Click Lag Fix yesterday in preparation for the update.
Well, let me rephrase. The App is installed on the phone but the fix is not applied.
Any thoughts?
Side note. My screen has some how gotten scratched recently and I'm curious if this is a possible way to get a new screen (and phone) from Tmobile. The phone is rooted and I have a GPS fix applied but that's it.
EDIT: I wanted to add, while booting, the Vibrant screen obviously comes up but after a few seconds, the TMobile jingle STARTS to play. It quickly goes quiet and then continues to sit at the Vibrant screen.
Long time lurker, first time posting.
Stuck as well, I am rooted but stock otherwise. Only items installed are:
Vibrant-JI2-GPS.zip
signed-mobileap.vibrant.zip
Any help is appreciated
EDIT:Was able to push Bionix 1.6 through ADB and Flash with Clockwork Recovery. Back Up and Going!

I'm sort of in the same boat. Rooted, but haven't installed any of the lag fixes or gps fixes. I don't have clockwork installed. Is there any way for me to download the OTA to my SD card and try flashing it that way?
This sucks
FYI. I had the same problems as the original OP, getting stuck at the boot screen after the update, due to having lag fix enabled. I finally got the true stock 2.1 firmware installed via ODIN. I've called T-Mobile requesting they push the update again and was told to do the following to send a message to google to have them push the update to my phone. It's been 30 minutes and nothing yet but I'm crossing my fingers. For the guys who haven't received the OTA update yet give this a shot.
Dial *#*#2432546#*#*6
One you complete the sequence all the numbers and characters should disappear leaving your dialer blank. Then you just sit and wait for the message to update your firmware. Hope this works!

Ive flashed back to the stock rom many many times after playing with roms here and wanting to go back. Almost every time before I did I would use a zip through clockwork that wipes everything and I did this time too but for some reason after odin installs the stock firmware successfully the phone reboots as usual then goes through its checks and it always fails to wipe data. So my biggest issue is the phone is unusuable until I can do this because it boots to the tmobile screen and then the screen goes black but the phone is on as the capacative keys at the bottom still light up when touched. Any help on this would be great but its looking like Im going to have to get another one.

Are you sure you didn't get this after you installed the Voodoo lag fix??? You will have to read through this, but it looks like there's a fix in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781456
Got to page three and read from there.
You are correct. I finally narrowed it down because I had done several updates through clockwork today but that was it. I am reading through forums to see about a fix, good thing I have other phones to play with too.
i got the same thing. did you figure it out?

I hope someone answered you.
It messed up because I flashed the Vibrant Voodo Lag-fix w/OC-Optimized 2.6.29 Kernel - Beta4 9/19/2010
To disable, simply place a new folder in the "Voodoo" folder on your SDcard (the internal one) name it "disable lagfix" (e.g /sdcard/Voodoo/disable lagfix") no extention just that exact name and reboot. After your phone boots and you check that your /data partition is again RFS you can re-apply any other kernel you were using.
now redo the stock kernel and stock rom via odin and you should be fine.
yea im having same issue, how do you put the folder in if the phone doesn't show anything, just a black screen?!
I have same problem

how can i do it with my vibrant turn black after booting ?
yep, this fixed me right up... once i realized i needed odin 1.3 to do it... but it did work and all is well...
thanx this worked for me as well
so I have a vibrant and was running 1.6 bionix mod on it, and i figured i would download 1.7 and flash it over. But before I did I wanted to flash back to stock via odin to download the OTA but when I did that I get a black screen after the galaxy s logo..I have looked and searched these forums and
I have tried this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741027&highlight=brick
did not work
and I am currently trying to use eugenes froyo flash method, however I need to use adb reboot and adb cannot detect my phone because I assume it's not rooted anymore since I reverted back to stock..
any ideas?? on how to root my phone while it's in this soft brick or any ideas what to flash in odin to fix this ?? If this thread was unclear I will clarify any questions.
PS. ever since i used odin to flash Euguenes froyo rom whenever I start up the phone it goes straight to android system recovery and I do not have the option to do anything else. HELPPP
ok...reading up a bit more and it looks like I didn't disable voodoo lag fix before i flashed over the stock rom ?

your phone doesn't have to be rooted to use adb ...
When your phone throws you into recovery with that media error, unplug your phone for 5 seconds, and plug it back in. Eugene put that in the instructions, and i didn't read that part either lol. If adb still doesn't work, you need to dl the right drivers again

Haha no problem. As for Voodoo ... i never ventured there. I usually stick with JAC's or King Kilikkk's, but here's the uninstall/verification for Voodoo. Try it b4 you flash anything else just to be safe.
How-to Disable the Voodoo Lagfix:
1. Once again, you MUST disable the Voodoo lag fix in order to flash any other rom, kernel, or perform a nandroid backup. If you don't...well....lets just say I warned you.
2. Its simple. Create a folder on the root of your sdcard called 'Voodoo'.
3. Now, open notepad or something similar and save the blank file. Name it 'disable-lagfix'. This file cannot have any file extension, so remove it if it does.
4. Place your blank file into the 'Voodoo' folder you made on your sdcard.
5. In order to disable, simply power down your phone and power it back up.
6. FINISHED! You can now flash anything you'd like!
How-to Confirm Voodoo Lagfix is Disabled:
1. In adb shell or terminal type 'mount'
2. If it is disabled is should read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'.
3. If it is not disabled, it will read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4'.
done and done, thanks again!!
go ahead and do the update, or not?. My phone is unrooted, lagfix installed, GPS runs good and so is AP mobile. Everything works flawlessly. I heard/read and saw lots of people have problem with the OTA update. Do i miss anything if i don't do this update? I am thinking of waiting until the Froyo release. I know to do the update, I should remove lagfix, ext 2. My main concern is the availability of AP Mobile after update? Any advices. Thanks.
You may run into issues if you install it with the MobileAP mod.
There's a new version of MobileAP that supports JI6 just fine - you'll just have to reapply that new version from the MobileAP thread after the update. Be sure you undo the lag fix first or you'll be in a world of hurt.
The OTA may fail on your phone even so, but it's easy to flash the JI6 update via ODIN and get everything working again.
Thanks for the replies. The only thing I don't know how to flash using odin.

OK. I removed OCLF and EXT2, then go ahead and do the update. However, during the update process, the % bar 0-100%, near the end when it reached 100%, I got a prompt "update failed, your fone will reboot". Now, looks like I am stuck at the boot screen (Vibrant and SAMSUNG screen). What should i do now?
One thing though, I was able to put the phone in the Download mode (volume up/down, pwr button). But when i select re-install packages, i got message "no update.zip file on sdcard". Is it ok if i put "update.zip" file on the SD card (root) and reinstall? Will this restore the phone? Thanks.
I ran into the same thingwhen I tried to install the ota update...ended up having to reflash...i just don't think its worth it to update....if it isn't broke don't fix it...lol

Edit: I didn't go to page 2.. thanks JD for answering the same question before me
I just got the OTA update and I was rooted and OCLF lag fixed with clockwork installed and wireless tether installed.
After the update I was still rooted, lag fix still worked (quadrant about 2300~ or so) and wireless tether just worked.
To be honest I don't like the update becase of crap running in the background and the new task killer administers vacuum to genital organs of decayed donkeys...but it all went smooth.
I'm even tethered to the phone now
hi guys, I accidentally posted this in general, but here it is in SGS2 forum.. I really need someone's help.
I nearly had a heart attack think I bricked the phone.... long story short
I froze TouchWiz in Titanium Backup thinking it would just use vanilla, but it's just a black screen. I couldn't find a way to get to market/settings so I a flashed it on Odin to Ke4 again but it looks like it just flashes and doesn't wipe the settings.
Anyways - So im stuck at a black screen, I have the status bar up top, i can swipe it down but thats it.
How would I;
'format'/flash the firmware so its completely new ...? I just need an applauncher or a way to get to settings?
or How can I make my way to settings?
my preferred option is the format a clean whole new one
if anyone can help me because I got to get this sorted asap before work lol
Just need it to work.
Thank you so much anyone that can help.
There are probably better ways but you can try to install a home replacement via the web market. This should push it to your phone and after installing pressing home should give you the option to select another launcher.
Do you know any methods at all? I'm willing to try any, I just cant find anything that shows how to completely wipe and start new..
I downloaded Go Launch and chose to have it launch to my Phone but it didn't work from the phones end.. the phone has no wifi/3g connection.. it has the no connection icon so probably won't it wont push.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I would have never thought of that.
Looks like you may need the download recovery jig tool.

I'm a bit confused about the jig option
I would have thought I could have flashed/restored it to stock
I am able to actually load the phone, I can swipe down and enable usb debugging mode, I just literally have no way to get to market & settings if possible...

Yeh sorry jigs are running short you dont kneed one if you can access download mode .

Yeah, thats a relief.
What would my options, What can I do to get my phone working again..given the above..

When I put on villain rom, was happy to backup all my msgs asap and etc to gmail which I did, that's the most important thing so i'm glad.
So then I wanted to defrost some apps I had frozen ... so I installed titanium again .. as soon as I did that the same problem came again, black screened. I reboot and it's now stuck at the 'S' loading animation.. it wont start into the applauncher... I actually reloaded the rom but still same problem.
- i can actually do a screen capture at the animation screen....so im guesing everything else is ok
I just want this to work one more time so I can do a factory settings wipe and hopefully all this sorted..

OK. What you need to do is...
1) Reboot into recovery image (volume UP, home, power) and wipe /data. You're gonna lose everything stored, but I'm sure we can get over that
2) See if it now boots (it should). If not, reboot into recovery again and wipe /data, then turn off
3) Put phone into bootloader, and get the ROM you want to ODIN. You can use VR1 if you want to just flash systemfs (safer). Flash it as PDA, then it should boot.
Failing that, you can recover it "my way". Flash Chainfire's insecured kernel (from the root thread), then get it to start booting. keep running "adb shell" (you do have adb set up?), and once it works run "rm -r /data", then type "reboot". That will wipe /data, and hopefully let it boot.
Don't panic too much btw, it shouldn't be too serious.
I changed from an iPhone 4 in May to the Samsung Note. On my iPhone I would immediately jailbreak and install MyWi. In my research to do the same on the note I ran across a rooting tutorial for my device and followed the instructions http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-note-att-i717-root-without-increasing-flash-counter-61325/ (I am not positive, but I feel confident this is the one I followed). I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup, did a backup of ATT connection manager, then removed it. Tethering worked like a charm. This has worked and I had no issues until Friday June 14th.
On Friday, everytime I opened an app on my phone I would get a Force Close. I restarted the phone and watched as it repeatedly happened after every cycle. Believing that installing Droid VNC Server was the issue, the last app I had installed, I removed it successfully and included others I didn’t use. Upon reboot, I noticed the notification of App Updates and a missed call. Checked the application list and noticed that all of the apps I had just removed were still there. I have a ton of pics and videos and thought that I should back them up immediately before I deleted them, prepared for the worst. I was able to do that. I deleted them all, nothing in the gallery. When the phone crapped out again and rebooted, all apps and all pictures back.
I formatted the USB Storage, seemed to delete nothing and also showed the same amount of used space as before.
Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

did you try wiping Catche and Dav?
Wipe Catch > Wife Davlik > Fix Permision, then reboot ..
see what happens ..
Not a noob, but here is where i am lost
I booted in to recovery, chose to Wipe/Erase . I see no option to Wipe Davlik except for in SuperUser and there it is a paid option, not sure where to find Fix Permission and then reboot?
I am assuming these are all options for CWM. I attempted to put CWM on an SD card last night and install from ZIP, but Recovery does not seem to see the SD card.
Are these options that are available for CWM, if so I will push through until I get it to work, but I have had no luck to this point.

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery. I have read there are options in CWM but I am looking at what I believe is the stock recovery options.

I have attempted to Flash ROMs I don't desire just to move forward. They all flash and pass in Odin but on reboot I still have my default screen. Unfortunately, I want to go back to stock. I have done plenty of research and need something more to push on to the next thing. I am looking at phone and there is not an Advanced option in recovery.

after you are rooted ,
you should have nothing to do with Odin.
and also, if you were stuck on your phone trying to boot up, chances are you keep downloading a bad ROM..
happen to me before..a ROM that was suposed to be 192MB,
would finish on 158MB
someone else may be able to help you get back to stock ROM..i havent had the chance to ever wanna go back to stock so i wouldnt know for sure.
sorry and good luck .
Still Worried. Still Stuck

Time for a restore. I know now that the recovery partition is gone and so a Wipe/reset is fruitless. No problem. I know how to flash the rom. I used this method with Odin to undo root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Everything seemed to work successfully, but upon reboot I get the same app updates notification and the same missed call notification. The same frozen state my phone was in when the issue started on Friday. WTH!
I have everything backed up. How do I get back to stock? I could care less about the counter. I just want my phone to be usable again.

So, maybe I am a newb. I have followed the instructions to install CWM on my device and it even says it was successful. I am doing it from ODIN. See the file I downloaded here. Says it was successful but holding the volume up and then power button. NO CWM.
I am truly frustrated but I want my phone back. Can someone link me to the stupid people posts so I can get my phone working again?

CWM Problems
Hi,
Have you looked at these posts? Sounds like you may be using the
wrong key combo to start CWM?

Are you confident that your uSD card hasn't been corrupted?

You now have a custom recovery(according to Odin). The problem is, you're doing the wrong key combo as stated above. You can also go to the market and grab FJ's power tool. You can boot into recovery directly from the app. Good luck.
Certainly I am not this dumb..... am I

Still having issues. Here is the deal.
I have the phone in Download mode

I load the CWM Recovery in the PDA box. Start the flash, get a pass. All looks good to me.

I immediately attempt to access CWM Recovery by holding the power, vol+ and vol- and still get the default recovery

I am so confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Unfortunately those pics aren't loading for me. Try again with the pic of recovery and the file you're flashing. Thanks. If you still have stock recovery then maybe that's what you're flashing in error.
Try volume up + down and power button. When phone vibrates, release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you are in cwm.
I would use Odin to flash cwm touch recovery from pda, then load a rom via cwm. Using that method you don't even need to root because it's all done at bootloader level and root is built in to the custom rom you flash
