My trouble :/ - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so i ditched the stock rom for axura 1.0 and am using it...but i changed my mind and want to go back to stock...but never made a backup of my stock rom in clockwork like a moron. Now i tried Odin and here is the weird part it detects my phone in recovery mode...but not download mode so now im stuck trying to get back to stock vibrant 2.1...any suggestions?
Thank You

Start odin first, then hold the volume keys, then insert the usb cable
This always works for me when odin doesn't detect my phone

I Have the same problem I did all the steps even tried to do the step you told us to. Still didnt work. what should i do?

Sometimes reinstalling drivers works for me when Odin doesn't see it.

This is the easiest way. Download Terminal from Market and enter SU (gives you root access) and then type reboot download
Your phone will reboot into Download mode

i tried the su reboot download and it didnt detect it and i reinstalled the drvers too no luck cuz it says usb device not reconized when in download mode but when in recovery or normal mode it is detected no issue

Here's how I do it if everything else fails. Have ODIN v1.3 opened up first. Next, make sure phone is in debug mode and make sure its checked . Next,while phone still connected to pc, remove back cover and pull battery out. Before inserting the battery back in, hold the phone side ways while pressing the volume up/down at the same time now insert the battery. Your screen should now display yellow big letters -
Download Mode - Do not turn off target.

Read the Vibrant Bible here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111 . Read the top 2 sections --Useful links and Odin.
By the way, is your phone rooted?

Have you tried using a different USB port? Sometimes that helps.

yes the phone is rooted and i tried using odin v1.0 and 1.7 ill try 1.3 idk if it makes a difference

One method I've read on the boards is to flash "Eugene's froyo that doesnt' Brick". Of course that is an Odin file so...we need to get Odin working for you. Like icandy said, try a different USB port and see if that works. If nothing else also post in Master's Axura thread and ask him/her what the best method of downgrading to 2.1 is. I'm not sure if you'd have to flash Eugene's Kernel Back Support or not. I know this isn't too helpful but hopefully it'll give you a few ideas.

[Q] Bricked Vibrant, HELP please!

Ok heres the deal, I tried a bunch of custom roms eventually leading to hybridv3 then I tried flashing with the Stock vibrant rom and that didnt work so I went to Vibrant4, then stupidly renamed the Stock vibrant rom to update.zip and used android recovery to update packages. Now my phone goes through the boot up but I just get a black screen. Is there any hope for me?
Your Fired! Lol..jk
I would use odin to reload the stock firmware.
I can't seem to get my Vibrant to show up on a com port, I have the pit and the tar files but my vibrant wont show up in odin.

I did something similar a while back. You may need to flask the stock rom via odin. The link to the thread for it is in the bible sticky in this section. Set up odin before you connect the phone to the computer. Also if you use windows vista or 7 you need to open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. For it to work you need to get the phone to download mode. Pull the battery, put it back in. dont touch the power button. Hold the up and down volume buttons and plug the usb into the phone when the other end is already plugged into the computer. It should be in dl mode. Good luck

trying now...
Odin is doing it's thing right now, Thank you so much!!
Just to recap since the correct information has never been added to an OP:
You must install ODIN and the correct USB drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7657252#post7657252 .
Get the phone into download mode. Several different instructions have been posted meaning either different versions of the same phone get into DLM different ways or everyone else is posting the wrong instructions.
What works on mine: Have phone off, ODIN open, and correct USB drivers already installed. HOLD vol up+vol down and plug in the USB, and do not touch the power button.

Think i bricked it. can someone halp?

so i was wanting to load the bionix rom, so i did a nandroid on my last rom. bionix was "okay" so i decided i wanted to go back to my eugene rom.
so i use rom manager to load the old image, and while doing so it gives me some error that i should report to rom manager. i cant exactly say what it was. so i told it to reboot, but now im back on bionix, and all my apps are crashing. i cant get into the launcher or anything. so getting to rom manager was out of the question.
so i call my friend who says i probably need to load a stock image, which thats fine whatever. so i do some googlin' and i come across this method forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 (new user..cant post links)
i try to follow the directions best i could. ive never used odin before. so for the "pit" i select the "samsung galaxy s firmware flasher" (which was the only file my computer let me pick) and for the pda part i selected t959uvjd.tar file they also had listed. also the instructions said i didnt need to select the other boxes (phone, csc, etc)
so i put it in recovery, hit start, after a few minutes my screen just shows the little android guy and a caution sign. odin still says "file analysis" and its been like this for about 20 minutes...
so....where do i go now? please be as descriptive as possible..apparently im still a lil green at all this
How did you get into recovery mode? Are you sure it wasn't download mode? Did you use the hardware way with vol up +dwn and power or did you use adb

i used adb to get into recovery. i figured out its not bricked. i restarted it and its doing the same thing. by that i mean it boots up, but all my apps are crashing still..so i guess i gotta figure out how to actually use odin to mount the stock image.
before you use odin, make sure you are hardware unlocked. I bricked one that was hardware locked using odin. Read, read, read.
The android guy and the caution sign is download mode, what you need to flash odin. Odin can be finicky. Once your in dl mode on your phone, unplug it from the usb cable, then launch odin and load the files. Reconnect your pc and you should see a com port light up in odin. If it doesn't light up, disconnect and reconnect again, or relaunch odin, reload the files and then reconnect the usb. Sometimes it takes some playing with it to find the right combo to make it work. After that its happy flashing time, you should see the progress under the selected com port in odin, kick back and wait for the reboot.
Be sure you have the GalaxyS drivers loaded on your pc too, your comp will never see your phone in dl mode without the drivers

Download mode for me is an android guy is IN a triangular caution sign & says "downloading..."
Stock recovery with the MENU button pressed shows me an android standing next to a caution sign. Think the op should clarify.

I do remember the little andriod guy and the caution sign from the one and only time i got stuck in stock recovery. I can't boot to it with any button combo, but the first time I tried to make an update.zip myself, well, yeah i got rebooted to stock recovery. My mind went to dl mode when I read the op, as thats what I have the most experience using, and luckily can boot to that way easily on my phone. I think you are correct G1, op may be booting to recovery mode and attempting to flash, when dl mode is whats necessary.

well origionally i was not in download mode, i only saw the screen i was talking about once, but i ended up actually getting it into download mode and using odin tried flashing the stock roms. it would hang everytime. the only rom i was able to get working was eugenes froyo port. its incredibly buggy and a whole lot of things dont work correctly on my phone. i tried the unlocking method to see if that helps, but my phone is really fighting everything i do right now.
but i do have a replacement coming, so im just gonna deal with a phone that wigs out whenever i try to do stuff for a few days.

Can't turn one my vibrant

Hello guys. My phone don't turn on when i press power button, VOL UP/DOWN buttons don't work also.
1. I flashed my vibrant with Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10*. Don't know why after what i can't access download mode by 3 buttons. I had Android System Recovery <3e>.
2. After that i try go to download mode with battery out method, and it was fine. Next step was downgrade firmware to T959UVJE8-factory-final-MS_Guru.
3. After that i had "Android System Recovery <2e>" message
4. I tried to reinstall back Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10* but something happend and Odin software Failed and i had "picture phone ! pc".
5. I tried both methods to go to download mode and after half an hour method with battery out and pushing vol up/down buttons accepted.
6. Then i tried to reinstall original firmware one more time. And it was fine. You can see screenshot in attachment.
7. But my phone after flashing turns off for rebooting and died.
When i trying to connect it with pc or charger nothing happens. Buttons don't work. Nothing on screen. Battery out not helped.

Did you try holding volume up and down and plug in usb cable method to get into download? I'm kind of wondering why you had those other files in there. The guides I saw just had the sit and the pda tar.

I think mbrock meant pit, not sit.
And yes, you only need the .pit and the .tar files.

Maybe this info will be helpfull. In this situation with dead Samsung Galaxy, Vibrant, Captivate only one ressurection. You need to open your mobile phone and reflash boot loader using RIFF Box JTAG which you can find only in service center. And you need to save your IMEI information which you must read from this address 0х80000 and this lenth 0хA80000. Thats all.
i tried that method you decscribed , now my phone is in MOde that say "power reset or unknown upload mode" any clue about how to get into download mode from this. odib detects my phone in this mode but i don't think it will load the software since it is not in download mode.

[Q] stuck on vibrant logo

so i was reflashing to cm7 #71 last night and i always do a clean install by formating boot system and cache. after i formated the 3 idk why but i let the phone shut off.
now i am stuck at just the vibrant logo. i have tried getting into cwm and download mode with no success. i plugged it in to the computer to see if i can at least access to adb no help there either.
does any body have a solution to this on this?
Um, first question; why do you format /boot? No where in any directions do they tell you to format that as that's where you're kernel is located.
And, if you can't access dl mode with the hardware buttons, why didn't you headed the large red letters telling you not to use CM7 if you can't access dl mode without the hardware buttons?
Have.you tried vol+ vol- and then USB? If you're running gb bootloaders (which you shouldn't be), then I don't know the button combo.
But the only way to recover is by geting into dl mode and Odin back to jfd.

I always format/ boot. Its a cleaner install and have no problems going from multiple kernel changes. I could get into download using button combo before I flashed. Now I cant

try this always works. take battery out phone, plug in usb to pc and phone hold vol + and -, and insert battery at same time, should put u in download mode.
Assuming u have a froyo bootloader
1) Power down ur phone
2) hold volume up + volume down then plug ur phone to a PC or laptop....don't let go of two volume buttons...
3) should b in download mode...

ive tried every combo i can think of. still just sits at vibrant. was able to make a jig that put it into DLM but then was getting reconized at all by my computer even with all the correct drivers..... i think i actually might be outta luck
You could get a JIG which will automaticly put it into download mode. It can be found here http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0053H73JQ/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/188-7446597-2980456

yea i was able to make one for 2 dollars and it works beautifully just now i cant get the computer to reconize the phone. i have the right drivers loaded but its seeing it as some crazy junk
edit: well got all the drivers working. made a new better jig and was able to get odin to reconize it.
didnt flash though. seemed jammed up. so i took it off of odin which left the phone in the phone to computer screen( PROGRESS) plugged it back into the computer. odin saw it and presto! back up and running on JFD
Ditto
I have done the same thing! Sent you a pm... Let me know what driver config you had to use to get it working.
Thanks!

[Q] Soft Brick?

Hello All,
First, let me say how much I've enjoyed reading this Forum and how much I LOVED my TMobile Samsung Vibrant 3G. While it worked for a long time running Froyo 2.2 with a Bionix Next-Gen V2 ROM, it was fantastic, but lately the microphone had been dying (I sounded more and more muffled no matter what I did). So I flashed up to ICS and installed Chimera to see if that might help. While the phone ran beautifully except for several apps that were rather wonky, I was getting more and more muffled.
So the other day I decided to restore my Nandroid backup, however when I flashed back I got stuck on the Vibrant boot screen. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get to Recovery.
How do I get back to Recovery from this? I have never used Odin, the only time I've ever hooked the phone up to the computer was when I originally flashed from Eclair to Froyo many moons ago. So please let me know if I'm missing something.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
You made a mistake when you tried to restore a 2.2 based backup from ICS base ROM. Now you must Odin to stock, its not that hard. First you will need to download the Odin program. I'm assuming you have device drivers on your PC but double check. Next you need 2 files, the 512 pit and jfd firmware file. Once you have those files you need to get in download mode.
I will link a thread with files and directions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9375927

OK I installed Odin and the necessary files and drivers, I plugged in the phone, but when I try to turn it on into Download Mode the Vibrant doesn't respond. There's just the little spinning light in the center of the screen. Odin doesn't recognize the phone either.
Anything else I can do?
Odin won't recognize unless you are in DL mode. I linked a video, I know it says captivate. Don't worry about the mod etc just follow it to get in download mode.

OK watched the video, but 2 things:
-when I try to boot into Recovery it gets stuck on the Vibrant Samsung initial splash screen and never moves, even when holding down the 3 buttons;
-this video assumes I can access the phone to install the fix or anything else. I can't, it just stays stuck in the splash screen;
-I tried holding down the 3 buttons and simultaneously plugging in the USB cable, and still nothing but the splash screen;
-is there any way to turn on the device while hooked into the computer so Odin or something else can use the necessary files to turn it on and make it accessible?
Thanks all for your patience and advice, it's much appreciated. I LOVE this little phone and really want to heal her!
Hi,
I think you have tried to go to recovery mode using 3 button combo. But in order to use ODIN device has to be in DOWNLOAD MODE which can be done using following steps
1)start off with phone turned off
2)press down volume up, and volume down at same time, and never let go until you get into download mode. DON'T touch the power button
3) while holding down both volume buttons get your usb cable which is connected to your computer
4)plug in the usb cable into your phone, while you still hold down both up/down volume buttons at same time. Don't touch the power button.
5)As soon as you plug your usb cable into your phone, the phone will instantly go into Download mode.
6)You may now release the volume buttons

NOTE: here is a link I found. Just take a look http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-access-download-and-recovery-mode-in-samsung-vibrant/
OK we are trying to get download mode not recovery. Your phone must be off for download mode. If it flashes vibrant screen you have gone to far and something is wrong. I specifically said pay no attention to the mod in video. Regardless I think you might need a jig to get in download mode.
I approve this message.
OK, noob error (smacks head), I kept saying Recovery Mode when what I needed was DL Mode, my sincerest apologies.
I got into DL Mode finally by holding down the Volume buttons (not the Power button), then plugging in the USB cable. The Vibrant promptly went into DL mode. Odin recognized the phone and off we went. It's now back to Stock Eclair (yuck).
So next question: am I rooted or do I have to do that all over again? And if so, what's the fastest way to do it so I can flash to the ROMs I knew and loved?
Lastly, a great big THANK YOU to samsgun357 & haarsh for all your assistance, you guys ROCK! :good:
No you are not rooted after using Odin to go back to stock. Glad you got it buddy! Now use this guide to get root and cwm recovery. Option b is probably what you want

tc and its a pleasure to help you
Happy Flashing :good:
Yep, got it rooted and flashed Cyanogen7, then flashed up to an ICS ROM (started with Chimera but it's a tad wonky so flashed over to Euphoria, we'll see how that goes).
That said, the microphone is still sounding very muffled, so I think it's a hardware issue. I was due for an upgrade anyway so I picked up the Samsung 4G Blaze (nice since the Vibrant I had was the 3G). So right now I'm just having fun exploring Android on the Vibrant while I read up on how to root and improve the Blaze.
I will miss this little phone though, it was light and super fast and agile, perfectly sized, especially compared to the mini-tablets coming out lately like the Samsung SIII and LG L9 or HTC One. I prefer smaller phones, so the Blaze fits the bill right now even though it's heavier than my old Vibrant.
Thanks again for everyone's assistance, VERY much appreciated! :good:

Download mode IS what you need to use Odin a get back to stock.
The above post shows the button combo for DL mode and recovery based on which bootloaders you're running (thanks haarsh). If you haven't flashed GB boots, you have froyo boots.
Now make sure you have the correct Odin files and drivers on your PC.
The goal here is to get power to the phone, while holding button combo, from the PC.
Do a battery pull/replace. Plug USB into computer
While holding your button combo (see above) plug the phone in.
Hopefully you see DL mode
Also try pulling battery, plug USB in PC and phone
While holding button combo, pop the battery back in.
This can be tricky sometimes so don't give up.
OK. Let me backup and give you more info.
So sorry...
I rooted, but was unable to download ROM manager from the Store (im assuming bc it was running Froyo).
I was able to get CMW to install via update.zip. Once installed the phone was going directly into recovery when asked (3 button method). It would go into the Anroid recovery, first and then from continually installing CMW, go into CMW.
From there i installed a CM10 nightly.
Install went fine, but no mobile data connection. I went back to CMW and restored the original ROM, rebooted and am stuck w/ the pinwheel.
I can't get into to download mode AT ALL. I've tried the various button methods with no luck.
From what I did, I can assume that 2.1 IS installed on the phone.
Thoughts?
Thank you so much for the help.
Well the issue you have was caused by going back to a 2.1 or 2.2 build from cm10 through cwm. You should have used Odin to get back to stock.
If you can't get in DL mode manually you will need to buy a DL jig. You can get them from www.mobiletechvideos.com also from amazon I think. You can also make one yourself, just search USB download jig, you should find it.
