i used odin to flash stock and it says in green pass! and it reboots itself and nothing, goes to a black screen.

Try using 'eugenes froyo that doesnt brick' in odin first. Just search for that thread and follow the instructions. It's worked for me. Then flash to stock through odin

Hello. I tried to use Repartition in Rom Manager and my phone stuck in Vibrant Screen. So I used Odin and check Repartition there nothing was happening for 10 minutes, I decided to unplug and just reload stock rom. I did that without any problems. Phone started to boot up but after Galaxy log it stuck in black screen. I am hopping that I didn't bricked my phone. Can anybody help me solve this problem?
What files are you using in Odin? If trying to flash 2.2 then try Eugenes jk2 for Odin if 2.1 jfd both in the bible/directory. Make sure you're using the 512 pit file also when repartitioning.

I tried Eugene Froyo that Doesn't Brick and official JFD and it getting stuck in cache for a while then screen goes black
Are you also using the 512 pit file? Go here http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/ and follow instructions. As long as you are getting something from the phone then you should be ok I think you are just missing a step. And so you know I found this through the Vibrant directory and it has all the files you need including the Samsung drivers for your PC if you don't have them installed. Good Luck
I tried to Odin to stock T-Mo but I cant get passed the Galaxy S boot screen. It just goes black and if I touch the buttons they light up but phone stays black. I tried a number of times also clicked on repartition in Odin. Odin tells me everything passed but when the phones boots ROM Manager screen comes up goes through a check list with one line in red that reads "Data wipe Failed"
Can someone please help me out. Ran Odin many times but I cant get the phone to go back to full stock. I click repartition but it seems Odin does not wipe the internal SD. I am so vexed. Someone help
I have never partitioned. Or whatever. That can cause a soft brick.

I have before in it went well. The phone (my wifes) was bricked to begin with. It would not go past the white vibrant screen. So I Odined back to stock. It goes through the T Mo stick together screen then gets to the Galaxy S animation. But after the galaxy s logo he screen turns black and only if I touch the buttons to the buttons light up. I tried to reflash via Odin a number of times but I cant get the phone to fully boot.
What ROM you had before going back to stock?
Any lagfix? If yes disable it..

You should do it again. No repartition. Wipe data. Dont touch it. Odin will boot up the phone when its fully done.

Okay it also accured to me to try Eugenes. So I did and it worked. But I can not install any programs. It tells me there is not enough space. Then when I look at settings/storage on the bottom it reads 0 space for apps.
Strange no? Any ideas
Thanks to everyone so far. I really appreciate it!
As I understand it as soon as you odin eugenes froyo you have to reset odin get the phone into dl mode again then use odin to put in the stock firmware

he female voice came on, everything went well but when the phone went to reboot it got hung up on the white vibrant screen. So I tried to Odin to JDF stock. Then it would get passed the galaxy S animation and go black screen.
Eugenes froyo works but my app storage is at 0.
arrggg!

Yeah. Tried it on this phone which is my wifes and it bricked for some reason.
You gotta find a way to disable voodoo. Theres a way to disable it by putting something directly into the Voodoo folder but I cant find it =/

Jacs kernel always gave me bricks for some reason. Do what they said again. Flash to eugenes froyo that doesnt brick with repartition checked. Then RIGHT AWAY make sure you have the jfd rom for odin and flash that using odin with repartition unchecked. Dont try to flash a clockwork recovery rom from eugenes froyo that doesnt brick because you arent done fixing it at that point.

once this is fixed if you want voodoo, upgrade to a 2.2 rom and use supercurios own modified kernels. Never had a problem with them.

I cant get to the voodoo folder. I tried every firmware there is and only Eugenes froyo will fully boot. But I cant install any apps so I can get to me system folders so i can see whats going on.
Im so stressed and tired it aint funny.
When I flash a T Mo rom and the phone reboots and goes through a series of line checks (yellow text) I get red text that reads "data wipe failed". Then the phone boots, t mo jingle, then galaxy s screen, then black.
Anyone??? Devs? PLease?
Do you have root explorer?
Hi Guys, I tried flashing Eugene's gingerclone rom and it soft bricked my phone. Anyhow, I flashed back to stock with Odin, but It's not removing the AT&T loader his ROM came with. So everytime I restart my phone it shows the ATT logo first the the vibrant black & white screen, then whatever bootloader the rom comes with. How can I remove this and get my phone back in full stock mode so I can flash a clean nero5. Does it make a difference what version of Odin i'm using? I used version 3.1
Im not sure why there was an ATT bootloader involved since I am guessing you are using a T-mobile Vibrant. But, I dont use Eugenes ROMS. Anyway, You should be able to flash back to TRUE stock JFD via Odin. Just look for it in the Bible in the Development forum under ODIN roms. This will take you all the way back to stock and remove root.
Hello, yes I was able to restore the phone to stock and remove the root but when I reboot or turn on the phone it still shows the att screen first, then the black and white vibrant screen them the pink letters bootloader for T-Mobile. I followed the video tut from the Bible thread and it's still there. What else could I do? I feel like something is not being fully deleted or something.

Very interesting, Did you select re-partition during the odin flash?
Yes I selected re-partition like the video said. What to do?

Have you tried checking over at Eugenes forums http://eb-productions.proboards.com/ . I think I have seen a thread concerning this over there.
I just posted on hus q n a. I found some threads about deleting bootloader.zip or something. How would one do that? Do we SSH into the phone or something?

So this was my first time with CM7 and I followed all the steps but I'm having problems. When I get to installing the .tar file in as pda through odin, I made sure of unchecking auto reboot but after I hit start as it gets to the zImage it justs stops. The bar doesn't fill green in odin, nothing happens, I didn't unplug or touch a thing and my phone goes from the download mode image to a black screen. Now I've waited around 30mins now to find nothing has changed, this is the second time this event has happened since after using odin to go back to stock because I was forced to unplug my phone, bricking it in the process. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I have clockwordmod, I installed the backup through it, I'm using odin3 v1.00, but I just don't see anything wrong done in the steps. Thank you.
try 1.3 odin

Like the title said, and now even thoug it goes into download mode, it doesn't go past the att logo when tried to flash the att stock .tar' or if I try and flash any other rom (rooted), it doesnt go past "android" animation. It goes black and that's it. I'm afraid I damaged something really bad, and won't be able to fix it. Any thoughts?
If you can go into download mode, just flash stock Note rom through Odin. I figure that's how you flashed skyrocket.tar.

Like I said, already tried that, my flash counter keeps increasing (30+), but same results. Maybe messed up the bootloader, or something?
which skyrocket tar did you flash? Make sure you get the right version
Try a full restore see here.

Can you get into CWM mode?
If you can boot to Samsung logo the bootloader should be fine. I would re download the stock note tar and then Odin. I had a bad tar and had the same issue but I didn't flash a tart from another device. Flash cwm in Odin to see if you can boot into cwm first.

Thanx all for your replies, I found my answer in other thread. My problem was that after flashed the stock.tar, when I tried to go to recovery,the phone just vibrated and vibrated, SO I followed the instructions of that member,and voila! Went into recovery, factory data reset and everything was fine. Thanx to ya'll.
