Soft brick. No odin, mac user. Need help FAST!!! - Vibrant General

Just restored Fusion 1.2 from Obsidian. I flash fusion 1.2 with stock kernel, it booted up fine, then restored my nandroid back up of fusion 1.2 with core R3/z4mod. Now it hangs at the vibrant screen. I still get Millie's voice on start up, but just hangs at the vibrant screen. Im a mac user, so odin cant help me. My blood pressure just went through the roof. Please help me!

Anyone? Please help.
**EDIT**
After many tries, I made into Clockwork. Flashed a fresh fusion 1.2. Crossing my fingers.
**EDIT EDIT**
All set. She booted right up.

Glad to hear you got it sorted man.

No duel booting for me. Its a ppc mac. I will take a pc if your buying.

No don't duel boot linux, because odin doesn't work on linx trust me i have linux and bricked my phone and tried every possible program that emulates windows and it won't work. Next time you get a brick that you can't fix by getting into cockwork and flashing another ROM don't post a thread, you'll have to use odin so this means go to a friends hosue with a pc or buy one.

Mac Mistake
Getting Mac is a limiting experience. Unless, you just want to be a retail user. But, since this is a Development/mod/hack forum site on a whole, consider using a p c there is much more flexibility with using that platform

Which all the more sucks that we cannot manipulate Android OS on a device like Samsung from OSX. The world would be so much easier if everything was Unix native first before spreading out to everything else.

+1000. I love my mac. I wouldn't trade it for any pc. Even if it means I can't fix a bricked phone. Just wish I could do some dev work with it.

Buy a Windows license. Install on your Mac through Bootcamp. ODIN back to stock. Problem Solved. Don't want to use Windows, you're SOL.

This is why I'm picking up a small notebook pc....just to dev and fix.

I love my iMac and my pc/xp.Got to have the pc for Odin or bootcamp your mac.

i don't think you can run bootcamp/parallels/dual-boot a PPC mac
i'm also on PPC mac like the OP

Sometimes I wonder if people read all of the posts. I'm not bricked anymore, and I have a ppc mac. Cant duel boot it. No intel chip in it. I know odin runs only on windows, whats why I asked for help. So thanks everyone.

It's impossible to root on Mac or Linux unless you use a virtualisation program like VMWare Fusion, etc.
Ask to borrow an old windows laptop from a friend, that's what I did!

It the best you can do,because goroh took SE dll and seus java to make the flasher. (thats the reason for windows)
Maybe we bring a linux version someday if we manged custom roms.
But a macversion will never come sorry. But feel free to do it on your own

Crack WEP/WPA

For educational purposes Is it possible?
Try penetrate, see if you learn anything.
tried. Doesnt support the wifi im trying to check the strength of.
I've never seen such an app released, even in iOS or Windows/Mac.
Ios has aircrack
well there are ways to crack using linux. and there are ways through windows but not really as smooth as linux. so i was wondering about android.
I'm sure someone will make an app. We just have to wait.

[DIY]Boot to Gecko (3G/4G)

This site gives pretty nice instructions on how to make the build yourself
I would make it, but I don't have a large enough hard drive
Right now it's slow and in early alpha, Hardware Acceleration doesn't work as of now.
So until someone can dump the IMG files, this is how it's done.

A friend of mine is right now for the 4G. Let's see how this works..
the result file should be .img files that have to be flashed via fastboot.
So everything will be erased, recoveries, ROM's and your SDCARD/eMMC
Does it wipe SD card?

He did say sdcard, so yeah.... it will be the same as when you rooted your phone for the first time. Same system.

My friend is currently trying to get a version that we can flash, because normally it just transfers straight from adb. He has to fix permissions and symlinks of the dump. Hopefully if everything goes right we should have a build by tonight
I would really appreciate this, been wanting to try it out, but don't have a PC running linux now.
Interesting. If I get time I might setup Ubuntu in Virtual Box and give it a try.
I'm so trying this when it's fully functional, even if I have to wait a long time.
Whoever is in charge of the UI is great at what they do, it's really nice looking. Especially the dialer.
Wow , I find this thread now ... I feel stupid for posting my thread now .. Alright Everything is Done , but one question ... If I flash this will clockworkmod go away, or anything from my memory ? like all my music and etc ... Just need to get things clear

what happened to the thread you posted with the precompiled zip?? I was able to pull it up on google cache, but it's deleted from XDA for some reason.
was there an issue with the build that caused it to get pulled?? I'd like to try it out since I've already got your zip.

[UTILITY]ADB Portable

After positive reviews on my KK4 Easy Root Utility I decided to tackle another problem that seems to plague some new users.
I've seen an increase in people who have gotten themselves stuck in a bootloop or can't seem to get the combo right to get into download mode.
Assumptions:
You have the proper drivers installed
Your phone is recognized by your PC
Instructions
Power Phone off
Extract this folder to your computer
Run batch file for Download or Recovery Mode
Plug phone into computer
Power phone on
Phone should be detected and go into the proper mode
Nice utility !! Should prove to be very helpful !

Android training

Hey guys, I have been reading through this site, http://developer.android.com/training/index.html and I plan to go through the classes and build my first app. I was wondering what the more experienced folks here think of the site.
Thanks for the heads up . Didn't really take a good look yet. But it seems interesting.
At a glance it seems like a good idea. Even if its not the greatest tool, it should be a great starting point. Might hafta look into that some more ...

Well I meant to say that jokingly but (%)/*8#*%!!! Ahh. I feel better now. I was going through the video AdamOutler has on youtube for making your first app and I think I screwed up in the initial download and set up of sdk so I'm starting over. :screwy:

Alright Kool
AdamOutler is using Linux in his how to make your first app youtube videos. I'm using Vista on my old HP laptop. I know I really need to upgrade but what is the advantage of Linux over Windows?

Without going into a lot of details, the info I've gotten points to Linux making things a lot easier when doing Dev work.

It depends on what the dev work is specifically, what your target platform is and the specific tools available for each platform.
As far as android application development, the tools are cross-platform and from my 'minimal' experience I have yet to come across any development quirks that would point me towards using one platform over another.
Use what you are comfortable with most.

well I've been trying to follow this http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/ to learn to use DsiXDA's kitchen and I'm having trouble figuring out how to download to install the java files ubuntu requires. ubuntu seems prety cool but I'm kind of stuck until I get this going. It seems like the more I read the less I know... It's quite a bit discouraging.
Its a learning process for sure. Just have to forget windows and read alot.
