Hello everyone,
I have been trying to find a way to get out of the Vibrant screen for my phone.
This happen by me having the Obsidian 4.2 installed with Black Froyo, and I was trying to restore to get the Sims 3 and Thinkfree office because it was not available when I flashed my phone.
I have a backup using ROM Manager on my laptop. I am using a Mac, and I have Parallels installed with XP. Problem is I have ODIN installed and been trying to have ODIN recognized the Vibrant in order to start the process, but it has not recognize the device. I thought I had all drivers installed, and I would appreciate any help.
The device is recognized when I have it in the Recovery mode, but not in download mode.
Odin is super finicky but this process usually works. Plug your phone into your usb port while it's still off. Bring up odin but don't put the files you want in it yet. Now boot your phone into download mode. After the com port comes up in odin load the files into thier proper fields and install. Hope that helps.

if you can get to clockwork recovery, you can mount your phone to your computer (the option that says USB, like the 2nd or 3rd option). You could then move a rom with kernel to your phone and flash it.
I think your problem is you were trying to go from 2.2 to 2.1 (nandroids do not restore the kernel, hence it will hang at the Vibrant screen). Perhaps you have voodoo or another lag fix and didnt disable it?
Also, my noob version in my signature show the proper steps for ODIN, and has a video.
Thank you the process work. I had Windows running on Parallels and it messed everything up. Had to reboot only with Windows though. i just resetted everything until I become more familiar with the process.
more specifically, getting the AIO Vibrant Toolkit to recognize my phone. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509)
I installed the vibrant drivers, and my computer recognizes my vibrant and I can mount it no problem, but when I open up the toolkit, it doesnt seem to be able to control the phone at all. (i have usb debugging on and I don't mount the phone when I'm trying to use the toolkit.)
I'm on windows 7 pro.
any ideas?
try it on xp 32 bit and see if it has the same problems
I have read through every thread here on brick recover, and none addresses my specific problem.
I have a Verizon LTE Tab.
I installed Rom Manager and flashed Clockwork recovery. As everyone now knows, this bricked the tab.
I have found instructions in various places for flashing a new recovery through Odin3. However, I cannot get my tablet to connect to my PC. I put it in Downloading mode and connect it to my computer. At that point, the computer starts automatically installing drivers because it thinks the tablet is a Samsung CMDA modem. I cannot force it to install the correct drivers, I cannot update the drivers, and I cannot manually add the hardware.
Thus, although Odin3 recognizes a connection, it gets stuck at SetupConnection every time I try to flash a new recovery to it.
Any suggestions? Please help!
I had the same problem with my laptop + my home desktop. I cannot get either of them to recognize my tab. Fortunately for me, my work PC does. I have no idea what the difference is. They are all running Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
ok, so I rooted jb 10e for my lgms769 10e

laptop 2, Ubuntu 12.04
help
Hey, I have an Xperia Pro (MK16i) in my hands. It doesn't boot fully, it passes the splash screen, the boot animation and then it gets back to the splash screen and this keeps repeating. I checked whether it boots into Fastboot and flash mode and thankfully enough it does, except it isn't recognized by the PC. I have a Laptop with Win 8.1, Dual-booting with Ubuntu 13.04 and another laptop with Windows 7. I tried everything, drivers, editing the rules file but unfortunately, none of this helped. Also, I have this feeling that USB Debugging is off. It'd be great help if someone replied with any ideas.

Your problem is "bootloop". If you have Ubuntu installed on your PC,download Flashtool for Linux and flash stock ROM into your phone.U don't need drivers.
