please, can someone tell me quick, were supposed to go to buy one in a few minutes, but i just read you might not be able to install firmwares like JG5, or JM2, ect on the vibrant, so can you?
can anyone tell me?
Sorry for the later answer but it doesn't really matter since I'm pretty sure you can't. Vibrant requires different drivers as far as I know.

Not a dumb question at all, and you're right, there isn't much out there...
I WAS gonna' link to the few that were available, but it looks like a TON of development threads have been moved and/or deleted... strange...
This is from my post on UltimateDroid, not sure how useful they are now, though...
Here are the ROM/Kernal links from XDA:

There's a DEV working on a HC port (don't know if it will be carrier specific) and he seems to have the most thorough work so far, but I can't find that freakin' thread either... Server issues must be worse than expected...
Thank you for your reply

im trying to get the files off my rooted stock SGT too so i can start playing with the safety net of files i can odin. any advice you can give me on pulling the files through adb, modem, kernel, stock rom etc would help
No offense to anyone here, but I cant even fiddle with his phone for more than 30 seconds before I get frustrated by it's sluggishness and just hand it back to him. It's phones like that that prevented me from buying an Android phone for so long, but now I have the Evo and love it.
So, what can I do to help him out here? It's fully updated. Mostly I'd want to look into some sort of overclock and removing the sprint bloatware. Nothing fancy, just something to make it more functional.
First and foremost you need to root the phone using universal androot or z4 one click root.
Get root explorer to remove the bloatware. Once it is installed open up root explorer navigate to data/FLEX and remove bloatware.
Then you can start speeding up the phone using sysctl config app in the market. We have a thread with recommended settings floating around here somewhere. VM Heap tool and BladeBuddy to turn off stagefright, you can also use apps like SD speed increase to gain a lil speed from your sd card. After doing all of that and dialing the settings in the phone should run like a dream.
Just don't brick it. We will not take liability in the case that the phone no longer functions properly or if the battery blows up or any thing that happens from modifying the phone.
Now before you go buck wild with your dad's phone please read more about rooting and sysctl but first question is, cricket or sprint?

I never had issues with the Zio mine was great on speed an UI, rootedfrom day one. I got a semi bricked one for free im trying to flash it back as it out performs the Optius...though nothing seems to work. Ive tried booting it at least 4-5 ways. Ive used original rom, custom rom, ive tried pushing the images for boot through usb as well. Anyone got any ideas? Id love make some some custom mods for it.

Please tell me you arent trying to push the roms / themes from here on XDA. They are cricket images and wont work on sprint.
Aside from that, you may need to get someone with a working sprint zio and try to perform a nand backup from a fresh hard reset that you can hopefully restore. I dont even know if CWM recovery will work for sprint but read the thread here and give it a shot to see if it boots.
My Zio is a cricket its NOT a Sprint...

I dont think there are any stock 1.6 img files anywhere around here. Just out of curiosity why the hell would you want the stock 1.6 img anyway??
I have 1.6 images

But I promise you if it's cricket, flash the openzio rom once spz includes the kernel.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
OK, so the prob with this Zio is the last owner attempted to do the 2.2 over the air update and it failed, causing it to not boot right, then a Cricket Rep. Reloaded the OS and now it won't go passed the green droid at original start screen. Sure hope that kernel arrives soon. Thanks for all the help I appreciate it!

Have you tried erasing everything in fastboot and flashing imgs in fastboot?
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Everything is off it, I assume since the OS was reloaded it has no root, this is my first time with a difficult phone too.I have ODIN if someone would be willing to walk me through that process I'd be VERY MUCH appreciative, it's possible I've over complicated this in my head, if it has no root am I skrewed? PC won't recognize it in usb, and I'm new to adb so getting files to it is tricky for a rookie like me ={
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Scrapped that zio...even ODIN didn't help...trading that zio and this LG for an out the box brand new Droid Incredible...coming completely set up rooted,backed up,and with a tested custom ROM optimized for speed and performance! Thanks to all the awesome ppl who helped me try and get that Zio going ^_^
Sent from my LG-LW690 using XDA Premium App
Good luck with the new phone... sorry that the Zio is too complicated to use, unfortunately we only have a few devs around here... the incredible has plenty of support and everything will be easy. If you have trouble with that phone it will be user error.

Ok well I've been reading through the threads and I am interested in flashing a new custom rom on my thrill...I've tried CM7 for about a day and it was nice and all I did have some issue with the battery getting drained in a matter of hours without even using it. So I didn't really get a chance to fully check it out. I wanted to give it another shot and see if I can get the battery issue fixed but I wanted to try out another rom. I was thinking maybe the Prometheus Project and Thrill seeker also CM7 again. Anyway what does everyone that had flashed or currently using any of these mentioned roms? Does 4g work well? Wifi? Data? Bluetooth? Don't care about 3D. Messaging? Connectivity? Whatever input anyone can provide would be great. I want to get a newer phone I still have lots of love for my thrill anyway thank you!

I'm trying to bypass at&t block on tethering apps in order to use my plan with my tablet as well. I rooted my phone, but every app i downloaded appears to be blocked from accessing my phone connection by at&t (they charge separately for that "honor").
Any suggestion?
Thanks

If you want to use stock ROM, there's a WiFi tether fix in the AT&T Development forum.

Both posts found in the AT&T One Development forum. Both on first page and one thread apart. Seems to me like you didn't really bother looking or using the search function. Took me less than two minutes to find the threads and post this reply.
Most others will tell you to search on your own, so you might want to get familiar with using the forum and it's capabilities.
