OK. I had Bionix 1.5 installed today and wanted to try to install a new stuff. Give things a try... no biggie. I completed a few backups and installs today but during one of my attempts I received an error in recovery about cant find update.zip. I rebooted the phone cause there was no other options at this point. Well, it booted back into the rom and started tossing "force close" after "force close". I went home and cranked up odin and flashed the T959UVJFD.tar file. Everything looked great but I noticed the "tmobile stick together" animation did its thing and when the Galaxy S animation popped up, it then played the sound that usually would play with the tmobile animation. looks like its gonna boot but screen goes black after galaxy s animation and just sits there. If i touch the buttons at the bottom of the phone they light up.... but thats it. Am I screwed? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update* I notice when I flash a odin image and it goes there its process and restarts my phone into recovery, it fails when trying to wipe data.
Wrong section? I'm sure.

?? Not sure. I'll gladly move this to another area if thats the case. I just figured since it was a rom issue and maybe someones seen this issue before. just looking for direction.

you are not completely screwed yet. This just happened to me this past weekend when i tried to install new lock screen. Just hook your phone up to a pc with the samsung drivers install and working ADB. From there you can just type in adb devices to see if the pc sees your phone. If it does, you are in good shape. You can proceed with adb reboot download or recovery which ever you want. The worst case is when you do adb devices and nothing shows up. You can then start slapping yourself on the forehead because you are screwed unless you can get into download or recovery with the volume keys.
I can def get into recover OR download mode. Just doesnt matter when i'm there. A fresh Odin image doesnt correct this BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH im experiencing once the galaxy s boot animation goes away.

Did you by chance use the Bionix 1.5 release with the Voodoo Kernel? If so, did you forget to disable voodoo before flashing JFD? I've done this before (cuz apparently I have bouts of stupid a lot).
If so be sure to check the "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out." section of the OP post in the Bionix thread.
You forgot to disable voodoo before you flashed over to the stock firmware . Simply flash eugene's froyo that does not brick via odin (follow the instructions on his thread) and then you can flash the stock firmware.
Right on guys! Next time i'll pay a little more attention. Will give this a try. I'll update with status.

So a buddy at my wrok got a new vibrant. I have a mts and a g1 and am familiar with rooting and all that. So of course seeing what I can do with my phone he wanted to root his and learn about android. So we rooted his phone and he was runing bionix 1.4 oc uv. He told me his phone died because his batery ran low. He then preceded to try and turn his phone on to make a quick call. Well it would only boot into recovery so he asked me to help. Him fix it. I took a look at his phone and I tried to turn it on and it goes strait from the vibrant screen to the standar blue recovery. He thot the phone mite not be reading the sd in recovery mode and only read the internal memory ,because he would push install update.zip like he would before to get into clockwork and it would just give an error. Well I eliminated the sd not readin question because in the error message ot says reading sdcard/update.zip. and since he has no update.zip its not loading anything. So can I just rename a rom zip from here name it update.zip and will it fix the problem,or do I need to put the clockwork update.zip on there. Or is there a nother way to fix it. Stock image?
lol yeah that would be me. i saw that one method to fix something like this was to use odin but everytime i try to download odin, ubuntu tells me that the archive type is not supported. i was using the link from the vibrant "bible". i dont really care if i have to go back to stock as long as i have a working phone.
**new knowledge... no odin for linux so far as i can find so if anyone has ideas using ubuntu then that would be great.
Lol this is who I'm helping^ hey we never tried just putting a rom on ur sd and renaming it to update.zip. take the latest bionix and rename it update.zip put it on ur sd and flash it
No voodoo lagfix? Cuz that complicates things

Ya I believe I installe jacs kernel with his lag fix. Can I just use odin to put his phone to stock and re root
careful
if you ran into the problem with the lagfix enabled flashing a rom over the ext4 partition might soft brick it. I ran into a similar problem the other day and was able to get my phone going again with the instructions from the bionix thread its titled Fix 1 in the last part of the OP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782027
this will get his phone back to stock for sure. but yeah you need ODIN
k amac10 used odin and now it will boot to the galaxy s screen then go black and stay that way but the buttons at the bottom of the screen will light up. but it still stays black. any body know a solution using linux since my windows vista part of my laptop crashed after an update and i'm fighting with windows on how to fix it. i've been trying to see if there was any software for ubuntu to do the same thing as odin. but no luck so far.
Using a windows machine w/ ODIN:
Flash "eugene's froyo that doesn't brick"
Then "JACs stock rom"
From there you should be back to out of the box status. All links & resources can be found in the "ROM bible" thread

Haha... Well put! My usual flash process:
-DL new ROMs @ night over wifi
-Wake up, read the early adaptors reviews
-flash ROM, brush teeth
-flash other goodies....
From here I'm usually good to go by the time I hop out the shower if all is well. If not:
-get eugenes froyo loaded, shower
-flash JACs stock nand, fix breakfast
-push /sdcard back in, eat
-go back to previous ROM, leave for work... Lol
I think that most ppl "freak" at first cause the initial setup is *****! GL to the OP, that should work though
This morning I wanted to install a new rom and for some stupid reason, I forgot my phone was a Vibrant and not a I9000.
The rom installed just fine using Clockwork but once booted into recovery mode, I am unable to use the power button as the select button. Also, the volume up and volume down buttons are reversed. I am guessing that the I9000 has a home button that my phone does not.
Question is this: Is there anyway to get OUT of recovery mode? I tried to connect using adb but my computer could not find the device.
Am I royally fcked?
Don't listen to the guys on top...everyone makes mistakes..try going into download mode and flashing "Eugene's froyo that does not brick". After that flash jacs nandroid backup. I would post links but I'm on my phone....you can find the links in the vibrant bible (its one of the stickys in this forum)
Instructions to get into download mode:
Turn phone off
Take out battery
Put battery in
Hold volume up and down and then insert USB cable.
This should take you to download mode.
Then flash the roms listed above in that order through odin (also found in the Bible). Hope this helps...

Do as he said above, but also make sure you have odin opened up before plugging in usb to the phone, and make sure you have all the drivers for the phone installed. I fought with odin for about two hours my first time before I finally realized I had to have odin opened first.

Thank you guys so much. Not only does it work but now Froyo is installed!
Like jtc442 stated, Odin must be started before anything will work.
As an aside: The up and down volume buttons are reversed and the splash screen is stuck with I9000. Not a big deal, something to remind me which roms not to use.

Well done dude! Mistakes happen, glad you sorted yours out. Those are pretty normal things in froyo as far as i know so its not a ROM issue. If you want a really good ROM I would recommend Bionix ROM, its currently the top dog of Vibrant ROMs

can you not use odin and install everything to get it back to factory settings? using the correct pit and tar files? then start fresh? download the all in one zip, and start fresh.
There is a known issue with non-Vibrant froyo ROM's with the reversed buttons, and 3.5 mm jack. As far as the recovery is concerned, I think either home or back button should serve as a select button (on the original Galaxy it is the large home button).
Hey folks. Just had a similar case (all fixed now though ). In my case, I went from stock JI6 to the Vibrant Hybrid R3 ROM, and was stuck at the Vibrant screen for about half an hour. Decided to ODIN back to JI6, which made it stuck at recovery. Fixed that by using ODIN to go back to 2.1 July stock and then back to JI6. What is it that caused the two soft-bricks in the first case? (For the record, I followed instructions to the letter) Just wondering.
EDIT: I suspect I misinterpreted the term "stock." I assumed stock meant a T-Mobile ROM, not specifically the ROM that shipped with the phone. Was that the issue in the above incident?

In many cases no, but maybe in this exact one... If not you will get stuck after the "galaxy s" screen with a black screen and uplights on the four capacitive buttons...
Thread cleaned. Please either help the OP, or don't post. Simple as that folks. Don't flame
please help me ! i did the same thing. i accidentally flashed the i9000 rom instead of the vibrant one. im stuck in recover mode ! the up &down buttons are reversed and none of my keys work as the "OK" key so i cant press enter. i tried to go into download mode but every time i try it just goes to recovery again and nothing is working. please help !
I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.
something like this happened to a buddy of mine, i'm trying to fix it, but the guy was completely stock so it makes no sense... I've tried everything, and i cant seem to find eugenes files...

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
My phone was working fine after installing the DOW14 kernel yesterday. This morning it was even working fine. Even my alarm went off this morning on the phone and I set it an hour ahead (for more sleep) and it didn't go off. I looked at my phone and the screen would not come on. The "buttons" at the bottom lit up, but nothing I had to hold the power button down to get it to reboot.
It got past the "Vibrant" text and shows the green robot for TeamWhiskey, but just sits there. Tried taking the battery out and still it will boot to the same place. Can anyone help?
I did not overclock, I never ran SetCPU.
If you can get it to download mode, try flashing another kernel through odin since you cant see anything. Just the kernel not a rom. Supercurio has some voodoo kernels for odin in the dev section. Just look for your base and odin the corresponding kernel. Goes in PDA. Dunno if there are any "stock" odin kernels or not.

Try this, it worked for me. Pop your battery, put it back in, hold vol up down and power. Wait for vibrant to pop up the second time and release. Should put you in recovery. Factory data reset, reflash you rom, wipe dalvik and fix permissions, then reboot. I had the same issue with the Bionix 1.2.1 update and the glasstopia theme w/ dragon 4. They didnt play well together. Hope this helps.

I agree man.
I've looked at every single thread with this same exact issue.
No avail. The file system, the ones that are reserved and locked for the bootloader and ROM are corrupted, is my guess.
I can load all the roms on there, but something isn't loading correctly, or is beyond corrupted, not allowing me to boot the phone at all.
My phone is toast too.
Damn, im not happy.
Nobody has a fix for this though. Nobody.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your phone. Mine is also bricked completely.
Keep in mind, this is from somebody who has bricked every possible way (apparently not this way), and ODIN at least once a week. I've also used Eugene's i9000 OC kernels, old DOW OC kernels, and TTBAL's OC kernel with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!! 1.4gHz stable.
Now this.

You need to provide more information. Were you on DI01, DJ05, DL09, EB01 when you rooted your phone and what rom did you try to flash.
Also which file did you try to odin, and did you add the file using the pda button on odin.
I was on EB01 I tried to flash to vinallia or something and then I tried to flash back to stock because my whole screen is black so I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648&page=19 and nothing happened I mean I know just have my wallpaper and no applications or anything I think my phone is broken and I am super freaking out and I don't know what to do!!
Can you explain your steps on how you used odin. Some people make a mistake here and mess up their phone (using phone button).
Also how did you flash the vanilla rom.

But before you do, download update.zip from this link I uploaded direct link
http://www.4shared.com/file/ReRrCtwV/update.html
Place update.zip into the sd card by taking out from the phone and mount it on computer
Then do the first thread I gave u. And when u get ur phone back up hold power button which will give u an option to go recovery click that and apply update.zip

You are going to be fine. You don't need to odin, you need to reinstall the rom. The first time I flashed a rom on my phone it did the same thing. You get a ton of messages and nothing shows up on your screen but the default background.
Was your phone stock before you tried to flash?
I can't really understand where you are in fixing this, but it sounds like your phone is successfully booting to the homescreen and now you want to know how to get back to where you were? If you're wondering why your apps are gone, it's because the DI01 odin package you flashed flashes everything, and does a factory reset on first boot as well, so all of you apps and data that wasn't stored on the SD card is gone. You'll have to re-install them via Titanium Backup if you had it, or manually if you didn't have any backups. Also, if you want to get back to EB01, you'll need to download the EB01 ROM, EB01 kernel, EB01 modem, as well as CWM recovery to flash as well.
His problem is that he has nothing. What is displayed after he boots is a series of error messages and then the home screen default widgets just show up as dead space "holders".
I am trying to remember how I fixed this... I think it had something to do with me not installing with clockwork mod installed correctly, but again, I'm not 100% sure.

This guy is right. I fixed it although I still couldn't send text messages so I merely took it to verizon and they are sending me a brand new fascinate

All you needed to do was make sure your modem was the correct version and you could have sent text messages...
