What I would suggest is to flash the J12 update through odin and see if that works. If that works, after boot up, go back and flash original rom back with odin and see if that helps. You should never click on repartition through odin because the instruction does not advise to do that when flashing a rom through odin. Hopefully you did not mess up your phone.
You probably need to follow 'eugenes froyo that doesn't brick' method. Do that first then odin to stock. Ind this should be posted in general or q&a

1) This should be in "Q & A" or at the very least "General".
2) What ROM were you using that you are flashing back from?
3) Did you have any "lag fixes" installed?

Make sure your flashing the stock JDF because the JI6 doesn't contain all of the files, and if that doesn't work flash the "froyo that does not brick rom" by eugene that is in the bible then flash the stock JFD rom

When it say wipe data it doesn't wipe the built in memory it just wipes the partition where the OS is installed. Make sure you don't have voodoo lag fixed installed or it will hang up every time, I have used this method about 6 times to unbrick and have never had an issue. I followed the instructions to the letter and it has worked perfectly every time, but I would need more info on what rom you are coming from and what lag fix or what you have installed if all fails try the above mentioned fix with froyo that does brick.

launch your phone into recovery mode and delete everything-cache and all user data. i reinstalled the packages and then rebooted the system. its working without any problems now.
Fixed it!
OK, i ran into this exact issue yesterday and fixed it. This is what I did.
First flash Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick with Odin.
Went through steps one and two. Don't worry about the sdk thing.
Now you should be in recovery mode. Pull the battery. Get back into download mode. Now flash, [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working). This got me out of trouble. I hope it works for you.
installing the froyo that dosent brick resolved my issue!
thank you for all your responses and help
Moved to Q&A
Anybody know where I can find this eugenes froyo that doesnt brick? Seems gino decided to remove the dl link for it n I checd his site but didnt c it, so im hoping theres like a mirror or maybe sum1 has it saved or something. Well anyway im able to flash the jk2froyo but it wont wipe data n then it wont let me dL any apps bcuz it says sorry not enough space.
It took some googling but I found it here
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Having problems with Odin, bah... trying to get my phone to work but always getting the "Data Write Failed" in red error.
EDIT: Haha nevermind got it to finally work after flashing Eugene's Froyo then stock JFD, guess I was using a different/wrong version of Eugene's Froyo haha damn I'm so relieved!!
I'm having a similar issue. Can someone give step by step instructions on how to fix this, please. I'm able to boot up, but then it give an error that says i have no space for apps. I check the application space and it just says 0.00 MB. Please help

My vibrant running a rooted froyo started to act up today after it wouldnt play my mp3 files, saying how its the incorrect format or something. So after it said that for every song i restarted the phone. I get past the phone boot screen and i even get to see the bar up top that i could usually slide down but the rest is black, i hold the power button as if im going to shut it off and the power menu comes up and anything i do freezes the device. The bottom soft touch keys are turning on but seem to have no effect on anything the phone does. Im also getting these weird vibrations out of it every so often.
I got into recovery, tried deleting the caches, still nothing so i formatted the system partition since it gave me an error every time i tried to restore it. now its stuck at the vibrant screen.

well if you restored the rom and it dont pass the first screen you should install a kernel such as dead horse, dragon, overstock...and it should work because ive had that before
Easiest way is to Odin to stock...you are trying to run the wrong kernal on whatever rom you are using...they are incompatible

ok brother so now reroot the phone and flash anything again... just read instructions and make sure its for vibrants
If bet you installed a non voodoo kernel over a voodoo one and it wiped your internal SD card....you news to toto the vibrant Bible and get the update.zip, move it to your internal SD...then reboot into recovery, then reinstall packages might have to hit reinstall packages twice...then you can flash whatever rom u want

Its working now, just need to update to froyo now. I guess next time i should get titanium back up as well as clockwork recovery. Off to start over again.

hi everyone,
I am actually a long time custom ROM flasher started since Desire days, but registered recently because of this problem I have with the Tab 10.1 Wifi.
Despite me trying everything I can think of, I couldn't flash any other ROMs now, including GalaxyTask, Overcome, AOKP CM9, except the stock Honeycomb sans TouchWiz ROM, and of course PhantomTask. I am pretty sure PhantomTask is the last ROM I've flashed until this problem comes up.
I have made sure that I have done a full clean wipe every time before I flash any of them, wipe data -> cache -> dalvik cache, I even format /system partition, but still none of them works. They always get stuck at boot screen, unless the either one of the two ROMs I've mentioned, stock or PhantomTask.
I am sure that my downloads are complete too, as I've checked MD5 for each of them.
So I really don't know what to do now, any ideas?
I'd really want to test out AOKP
How much time are you giving it to boot up?
I've tried flashing CM9 yesterday, and I left it overnight to boot, it still didn't boot pass the logo, and the battery drained out.
I'll give it another try later
Which version of CWM are you using? If you aren't using one of these try updating:
ClockworkMod - 5.0.2.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090289
Overcome Recovery v5.1.2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348533
ok I've tried everything I can, and still can't get this to work.
Then finally I've decided to try to unroot and restore everything to stock.
I've followed each and every step of this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971
After everything is done, Odin is showing the pass sign, according to the video its suppose to reboot into Android, but weirdly its stuck at a black screen. So I unplugged it from the PC rebooted it by holding down power button. But now its stuck at the boot logo, and won't proceed, its been more than 10 mins.
I am still able to boot into download mode, but when I boot into recovery wanting to do a factory reset, it shows a black screen and nothing else.
any idea what's going on?
try using the overcome recovery posted above. there's a link in the post that will take you to the over come site. look for the restore yet tab section and use Odin to restore. follow their instructions exactly an make sure it's relevant to your device first.
this has helped MANY people who had some of the strangest problem start fresh. if you want or need specific links just ask I'll go to my PC where its easier to show you.

Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.
Im running 2.3.5 on a rogers phone in canada and my phone says there is an update. When I click on download and install, it does its thing and when it boots back up it says updated failed. Not sure what im doing wrong. I searched everywhere and could not find anything that will help
You have probably changed your system somehow. You can try flashing a nandroid backup to restore all missing bloats. You can also flash brasilizian 2.3.6 gb, wich is pretty much the same as rogers one.

Try disabling any anti virus you may have installed. Also, do a factory reset/ wipe user data and cache before flashing the brazilian 2.3.6
Think my phone is messed up. everything time I reboot, It goes to flashmode. I have to hold power and both volume buttons and when it goes blank I let go of the power it goes to fastboot and I have the option to power up in normal.
Try an wipe Data in Moto Recovery. For me it was the solution when I had this problem first time...
flash this empty_radio.zip
Thanks, I got my phone back up
Noob here, please bear with me:
Updated my I577 to ICS, then rooted it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806118
Worked like a charm, then I picked up ROM Toolbox Lite from PlayStore, which worked fine until I tried to change themes.
Somehow, it got to where boot was stuck at vendor logo. Unfortunately I did not Nandroid backup in time, but I was able to do a Kies backup before rooting, so not worry about the data loss at this time.
Used CWM5, did davlik & cache wipes, factory resets several times, no dice. No stock ROM available so I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30444507&postcount=6
(flashed system tar through ODIN) Hanged at "system.img.ext4".
Here's where I'm at now:
-- Boot looping at second Samsung logo
-- ODIN 1.85 still reads device at port
-- Battery indicator visible when plugged in & power off.
-- Still able to get to cwm recovery 5.5.0.4
So, IS IT SOFT BRICKED OR HARD BRICKED?
Bonus Question: Is it unbrickable?
Any input or answers are GREATLY appreciated, and a fix will most likely be monetarily compensated through Paypal.
Black-wolf, j3r3goss, or shabbypenguin if you see this, your input is certainly appreciated as well!
Its soft bricked. Hard brick means there is no life at all and won't even power on (through software).
Any soft brick is unbrickable, the only nonunbrickable brick is a hard brick (which is rare)

If you can get into Clockwork Mod Recovery still then select wipe data (Do this twice), then select whipe cache (Do this twice), next select factory reset (Do this twice), finally go back and select reboot system. This should unbrick your phone for you

Did you whipe cache, whipe data and preform a factory reset like we suggested? Preforming a nandroid restore won't get you out of your phone hanging on the at&t logo.

so i tried that and it looked to be working but it stalled at end of install and now it doesnt even turn on anymore...

Hi thanks for your response to my problem,
yes i flashed a custom recovery from clockwork and i rooted it. i cant get in to recovery mode.
after i did that i tried flashing custom rom like i said before but after reboot it didnt do anything.
i just got the startscreen and found that i could use download mode and odin to flash original rom.
i used 1 click downloader from Odin and it started to recover my rom,but at the end it stalled.
after that happened i couldnt do anything anymore.
i thought it was totally dead but i just saw that when i connect to my comp it says unknown device..
im an idiot for trying this stuff without the knowledge..it looked easy in descriptions
but i found different descriptions how to do it..

I did all that, but the one thing that finally nailed it was formatting my internal SD. I also formatted my external one, but I don't even think I put it back in the phone.
So, if anybody's reading this in the future, and you're still stuck after wiping the cache, wiping Davlik & performing factory reset,
FORMAT THE SD!

Hey, total noob here but Im having problems with my Galaxy S4 so I was on this thread looking for a fix.I have an AT&T Galaxy s4 (SGH-I337) and I just rooted my phone and installed clockworkmod recovery. I went to backup and then when I rebooted it freezes at the AT&T logo. Ive wiped data/factory reset, wiped caches, etc ive done everything and it freezes at the same spot. I have no ROMS as I had just rooted, just stock 4.2.2. Then I saw a vid on how to unroot/unbrick and it was working perfectly until it went to reboot.(I downloaded 4.2.2 firmware for my model phone) I used ODIN and it said pass then when it was rebooting it froze in the exact same spot (also instead of the normal bootup it still had the "custom" and an unlocked lock that Ive had since I rooted) and now I cant enter recovery mode. It starts booting but then freezes when the blue letters come on! Now even when I try to turn it on normally it freezes at the samsung logo (with unlocked lock and "custom")Please help! I would greatly appreciate it!
