I need help with t-mobile vibrant 2.2 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I have been all over several forums and tried countless steps but i still cannot get busybox to install at all. Everything i test says that my phone has been rooted but still cant do anything. All i am really wanting to do is install a custom rom on my phone, thanks in advance for any help.
p.s. when i boot into recovery mode and click the reinstall packages it gives me the signature error.

This tells me you basically deleted some system applications that support the Google applications like Gmail, Calendar, etc. Not a good thing lol. Next time when you are deleting "bloatware," don't delete anything that starts with com.google or com.system. These are the packages that help run android and google applications.
Incidently, Do you know what adb is? If so, have you ever used it?
ive seen adb when i ran superoneclick im tryin to learn all this i use to have an iphone and hackin that is pie compared to this cause there is so many android phones
Try Factory Reset

Don't worry, the initial rooting process is the hardest part. After that, it only gets easier. Then you can put on whatever custom ROM you want and trust me, its awesome!
Anyway, I don't think you need to use adb juuust yet. Did you try to get to recovery mode yet and try to factory reset the phone?
To get to recovery mode on your Samsung Intercept, you hold, all these buttons at the same time, for a few seconds:
Volume Down, Call, and End buttons.
This will either bring you to recovery mode or have an option for recovery mode. Once there, there will be a setting to factory reset your phone. It will say something along the lines of "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" It won't delete anything on your SD card but wipes out all your apps and restores it to when you first used it.
yea i did that and the stuffs still missing : / im tryng to use the sw update to re install stock 2.1 but i keep getting "cannot open .bin file"
I had that problem too. What i did is connect my phone with samsung kies and that restored evrything back for me.
May that not help, try to flash it back with original firmware using odin
just search on this forum
This is the site that contains evry firmware of evry samsung phone:
samfirmware.com
you only have to register
i dont see my phone in the android section
I'm not having any luck with this... nothing seems to work
Don't Give Up!

Don't fret. You haven't bricked your phone yet.
Ok. I checked to see if any forum or site was hosting the original signed zip of the OS that came with your phone and I couldn't find any.
I have an idea though. Not sure if it might work but theoretically it should. Although your phone WAS rooted (aka. temporary root), its not anymore which means you don't have any custom firmware and are running stock.
IF you updated your phone to 2.2 froyo with the official update, then it should completely replace the OS and not only reverse the damage but upgrade it as well.
So you take the phone, put it into "Recovery Mode," and then use adb to push this zip (link below) on to the ROOT OF THE SDCARD. not anywhere else!
then in the recovery, select the "flash/update zip" option and select the new zip.
In theory, this should work. Cannot be sure so tread with caution!
Here is the link:
http://02ee24b.netsolhost.com/downloads/crowder/update.zip
This is the full article that explains how to root your phone after:
http://www.crawfordium.com/blog/?p=22
Best of Luck!!
Thanks I'll try it out
I got this "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted. I tried formatting the sdcard and redoing it but i got same message again I also tried going into superoneclick and hitting unroot and it says its unrooted but i still get the (status 7) message :/
and the sw upgrade says cannont open .bin file
This might work!
I was reading through some Samsung Intercept forums for you and this looks promising:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...e-to-froyo-2-2-with-no-baseband-modification/
Go through the first three steps and flash the stock 2.1 on to your phone and it should be restored to basic regular Android 2.1. It IS sprint's stock 2.1 for intercept not Virgin Mobile's but its ok because it doesn't replace Virgin Mobile's Baseband so its fine. Instead of seeing the Virgin Mobile boot up screen, it will show you a sprint boot up screen. No biggie.
Try it and tell me how it goes. remember to follow instructions carefully and to the tee.
OK NOW IM ON SPRINT 2.1 and my number works and now im going to try upgrading to 2.2 show i try doing it over the air or just do it manually?
i just did it manually now im going to try to root it
now how do i get superuser and all that good stuff with the roms i dont like the slapstick 1.4

[Q] Infuse ClockWorkMod fail?

Hi, i`ve owned an infuse for a couple months now and i`m loving it. I bought it off somebody and it came pre-rooted. Superuser was working great, i was running rooted apps and everything was pretty awesome. However, i`ve just recently wanted to try something new. Such as flashing a new rom. I downloaded the zeus rom (i also have others), went into rom manager and tried to install. That didn`t work. So i tried to manually boot into clockworkmod recovery and install. That didn`t work. I think the main problem is how do i get into clockworkrecovery? Whenever i boot into it i lack very many options that i keep seeing from others. Everytime i try to boot into it it says
Copying media files
Successfully copied meida files
Manual Mode
Appling Multi-CSC
Installing Multi-CSC
can't access to system/csc/RWC/system/
Successfully applied multi-csc
and the options are
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils for BML
Enter: Power Key, Select: vol up/ vol down
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Everytime i try to apply update from sdcard it says:
Failed to verify whole-file signature
Installation aborted.
I can't remember all of it but you get the just of the idea
I can't seem to figure this out and i dont think this is clockwordrecovery. I've tried various methods of rebooting using the CWM app, Rom Manager app, and the button pressing.
All i want to do is flash a new rom! Can anyone help?
P.S. It isn't a typo when i put "Successfully copied meida files", they actually spelt it meida.

You don't have cwm recovery yet.
Don't use ROM manager.
I made a thread on "how to." It's a collection of some things I've learned.
Start there.
The link is on my signature line
So where should i start? At the flashing part?

yes..follow gtg's CWM instruction set
So. I already started with the odin UCKD5 one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
and i already started into download mode. However, it now says downloading. and my computer was like "installing new hardware" then "could not install new hardware" and now my phone is stuck in the downloading screen that says do not turn off target. Odin has yet to pick up my phone....what now?
if you have root you can flash a cwm enabled kernel with sgs kernel flasher.
if you have froyo use the defuse or community kernel. or use gtgs thread for cwm without flashing a kernel.
if you have gingerbread then you will need to flash one of the custom kernels such as entropy dd, hellraiser, or infusion. gtgs cwm thread will not work on gingerbread.
My phone is rooted and running on gingerbread. But um. i have a more pressing concern at the moment....this downloading screen is freaking me out...
okay well i can't seem to figure any of this stuff out. any noone has replied so i just reset my phone so i can actually use it.
Some more information for those who can help is that the firmware is 2.3.3
Baseband version is I997RUXKG3
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
Build number
Gingerbread.uxkg3

that's Rogers firmware. use kernel flasher (easiest) and flash one of the popular gingerbread kernels. entropy dd is popular. once the kernel is on there You will have red cwm. that will allow you to flash whatever.
if you flash a rom it will include a kernel so don't worry about the minor incompatibilities that exist with att based roms.
So i'm currently on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212795
with this in the other tab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460
I'm not sure which kernel to download. But i'll try flashing a couple anyway
also i tried using heimdall/odin or whatever. It wouldn't pick up my phone in download mode. and thus couldn't install drivers.
well. I tried flashing one of the kernels. specifically
DD_02162012_A.zip - [Click for QR Code] (5.16 MB, 118 views)
So i flashed it using SGS kernel flasher. it said flashing....rebooting. And now it's stuck at the rogers logo. I have no clue what to do and i think it might be bricked. So if i could get someones help, perhaps step-by-step as i obviously cannot do this following the other instructions.

You are stuck in bootloop. Not bricked or even close to it. Read infused rom and flash it. If you cannot figure that out you should not be flashing. It's dead simple. Promise. Search it. It's in the dev thread. Called infused by gtg

thanks for the help so far. but i went here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
and the link no longer works. so what now. I can't get the files and therefore can't put anything into odin.
sigh. so i downloaded the files from someone who uploaded it again. Did everything. Succesful. only to have it be stuck in bootloop and samsung screen. Did what it said. pulled battery, replace, vol buttons and power key until recovery shows up. That doesn't happen. Instead i notice that instead of a rogers screen it says at&t and then goes to samsung screen. and then restarts again by going back to at&t. If i let go of the buttons it goes back to begin stuck at the samsung one. This has made so many problems for me.... just by trying to get clockworkmod. what do i do now?

Xparks,
You really should read up a bit. If you looked toward the end of that thread,
you will see that the file has been uploaded by another user to another site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251&page=40
i got that one already. i've passed that step. I'm now stuck in bootloop with at&t and samsung logo. Bootloop was supposed to be a rare occurence...and the instructions to work around it aren't working right now. I can't access recovery mode. Or anything for that matter.

Download the drivers for the phone on the computer. If it does not work then, try heimdale. If you can not do this, then just ask me for the jtag guy, ill give you the link to the website. Mobiletechvideos uses jtag to recover the phone (taking it apart, hooking it up with a ton of wires lol). Keeps personal data, just recovers rom, or you can pay a little extra for him just to install whatever rom. It worked for me, you may have a broken usb controller like me all of a sudden.
I have kies but when i start it up it says please connect your mobile phone. And it doesn't pick up my phone. It probably shouldn't seeing how my phone is stuck. But i went to menu in kies and pressed install driver. But i'm not sure how to download my exact driver if kies can't even pick up my phone. But i ran the "zazig" program. and i'm installing the drivers from there. And i'm going to attempt to reflash using that since Odin didnt work before. The link is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381
And it did that. But i don't what to do. I've been on xda reading forums all day and the only thread i can see relevent to mine is someone advising them to bring it back under warranty. Mines rooted. no warranty for me. I hope if it ever works again i can use it on rogers still because it says AT&T.....and i'm afraid to try and unlock it. because we know the last time i tried to do something.....
Odin can still detect it and i tried reflashing the unbrick stuff. No dice.

[Q] Lg Revolution clockwork recovery bootloop

Use adb to push files from your computer to your phone.
Could you provide a link if it's not to much trouble I don't really know what I'm looking for. Thanks.

I am really sorry but i don't understand how to do any of these guides i can't download adb in the first guide because of a DNS failure. I've tried all of them and i just get so lost trying to figure out what i'm doing. I don't know if there's a way you could help me anymore but if you can't then it's okay.
I had this same problem. Am also illiterate when it comes to programming. I tried a factory reset and now it only comes up in CMR. I assumed it had uninstalled the factory and CMR interrupted it when it went to reinstall because it overrides the stock recovery mode. So I thought I was looking at a case of having no operating system on there at all and installing a ROM would help. I put the sdcard in a different phone so I could put the new ROM on there. Still doesn't work. The problem is that it appears all the ROMs need the original ROM on there to install over top of. Even after it says they are installed, it still only boots up in CMR.
Had I known rooting the phone would put CMR on there, I wouldn't have done it. I only rooted so I could do the android tether. Anybody been able to figure out his problem yet?

[Q] Motorola Defy default restore

Hello, I have a Motorola Defy which i have rooted and installed clockworkmod on it. I tried to install Cyanogen mod 7.1 from the website. The phone got to the boot screen where it continued to cycle through it thing and nothing more. I restarted the phone and now it gets stuck at the first screen where its says "google". I tried to enter recovery again (power + volume down) and clockworkmod is completely gone. I want to go back to the stock OS so it atleast works again. Ive tried using the update.zip option in the stock recovery mode but I keep getting an error "failed to verify whole-file signature" when using a signed copy of cyanogen mod. I also tried putting my backup in a zip with the same error. Ive even tried formatting my sd card. What do i do?
I was more or less where you are around June or so. I'm no expert by any means, but perhaps I can help. If memory serves I used a program called RSD Lite to flash it back to the stock unlocked rom I got from the "bl7 finally rooted" thread - if you unlocked a different way, I'd try to find your original rom.
Once you get to where you understand how to get back to stock it makes the whole thing a lot less scary, or it did for me. Once you get back up and running, try flashing Whiterabbit. I didn't have luck getting anything else to run, but that one worked the first time I tried it, and I'm very happy I persevered. Miles better than the stock OS.

I cant use the program as my phone doesnt get detected when connected to my pc.
OK, lets start with the basics, if I can remember it right... Have you used RSD Lite successfully before this? Drivers installed? Using bootloader mode? If any of this is unfamiliar go hit the beginner's thread - if you have done all this you may be beyond my help and in need of someone a bit more experienced.

I fixed it, there were a different set of buttons to hold to get into boot loader. The default recovery was not over written as i thought (happened to all my other phones). Thank you very much for you help. It has been very much appreciated.
