Question: Flashing Samsung Vibrant with Samsung Galaxy S Rom is it possible ?

---

Hi all,

I'm planing soon to buy T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant through ebay. As it's mentioned in my profile I'm from Bahrain and I don't need T-Mobile junk software like Account, TV, etc..

So my question is it possible to flash Original Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 to Samsung Vibrant ?

Are they exactly same in terms of Hardware ? I had HTC HD2 before and it's not possible to flash Euro version on T-Mobile version. So what about this one?

Thanks in advance..

nope, some things will be messed up, no data, volume buttons switched etc

The hardware is DEFINITELY not the same. Well it kind of is, but the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S has a frontal camera whereas the Vibrant does not. And the vibrant has four buttons whereas the international has I believe 2 and a trackball (i think?)

I see, I forgot that US version have 4 buttons and no front camera !

Bell Mobility (in Canada) sells the "Galaxy S Vibrant" that comes with only 3 front facing buttons; from left to right: menu/options button, action/home button and the back/cancel button.

So "Vibrant" may mean different things to different people, depending on who or where you ask.

Edit: Oh I forgot, my Bell Galaxy S Vibrant has a tiny front camera as well. I haven't used it for anything yet, but you can install the 'Mirror' app on the market to at least see it in action.
