Hey guys. So yesterday I was running Bionix Fusion 1.1 stock and decided to flash their core rom and right after I flashed Bionix fusion 1.2 and killed my phone. I can get into download and have been trying to use odin to get back to the stock vibrant but I keep getting a blank screen after the Samsung boot animation. The screen is black and the buttons light up. I've tried the JFD, JI2 and JI6 .tar files but I keep getting the same results. Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?

Remember it could take voodoo up to ten minutes for the first boot. If not take your battery and sim card out, put back in and odin back to stock. And just in case something funky is in your internal memory from voodoo check the repartition box in odin. But normally you don't check that box.
Samsung Vibrant using Bionix 1.9.1 w/JACs UV/0C v1.1
I forgot to tell u the stock ji6, or stock rom with update has to be run with a backwards compatible kernel or u will get stuck at splash screen. Jdf is different kernel than ji6.

I flashed the DoW rom/kernal using clockworkmod on my vibrant and it gets to the boot screen (the screen with tw in brackets and an atom cloud) and just hangs. Anyone know what's goin on?

As far as I know DoW is a kernal not a rom. Make sure it will work with whatever your current rom is. Working great flashed over nero5.
I would odin back to stock, flash custom froyo rom then kernal....
By chance did you have lag fix disabled?......works fine with nero 4.1 and 5 for me.....but I found nerov5 works great without it

Also remember that not all phones will handle the oc'd kernels
if you can get into recovery, you can try flashing a different kernel or reflashing your rom.
I'm currently running Bionix oc/uv and love it.
I DID undo the lagfix before flashing this.
If I could get a link to the stock odin files to flash so I could give the amazing sounding DoW a shot, I'm sure I could get it working.
Im running DoW 1.3 on AxuraJL5, and it does the same thing. i often have to pull the battery for a successful reboot. its sucks, but ive learned to live with it
wrong section to post this in, not to be a drag but its just that these forums can get clogged up with stuff like this if we dont keep posts in order. Q&A or under the DoW thread would suffice.

With all due respect, if I could get into recovery, I wouldn't be posting this...
I made a fresh Nandroid before trying this but I can't get to recovery or anything.

I understand. If a mod moves it, it's all good. Just looking for help...my phone is sitting stuck at the atomic bomb screen still. It's been 2 hrs...just lookin for a hand. :-D Thanks!
have you tried getting it into download mode? i know you said you cant get into recov. but download mode is different.
first, do you know how to get into download mode?
well in short if you dont, when ur phone hangs.. pull the battery. with the bat. out hook it up to ur comp with odin running... as ur holding down the vol. up and down buttons stick in the batt. then you will be in download mode. then flash back to JFD
Maybe im wrong but isn't the dow kernel for 2.2. Didn't he say he was on bionix and isn't that a 2.1?
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
you are correct, i missed that he stated he was using bionix. OP there is your problem, you flash a 2.2 kernel with a 2.1 rom. flash back to stock via my instructions and you willl be fine.
you will need this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Glad we got that taken care of.before he hard bricked his phone.

lol...I did this with my wife's phone...no boot and no recovery is very disheartening to say the least. lol
So...I flash back to stock using the thread provided and then flash DoW?

after you flash back to stock you of course are going to want to root your phone again, then youre going to want to go to team whiskey and download Nero... a 2.2 rom that works with the kernel. then you will want to flash DoW. I would also consider downloading setcpu because that kernel will drain the heck out of your bat. make sure you dont set to boot with setcpu, and just use the conservative setting.
team whiskey http://teamwhiskey.com/DownVibrant.html
again make sure its a 2.2 rom.
DoW works with any Nero (2.2) Team Whiskey Rom. You have to disable Vodoo LF before flashing, otherwise you will get stuck in a boot loop. Make sure to let the Rom run for a few minutes after flashing before replacing the kernal. You can always pull a logcat to see what your phone is doing when it hangs.

Very fist, I wanna say thanks a million to all the replies and help. :-D
Ok...now...to set the record straight, my phone just tries to boot to the DoW and does nothing after. It just hangs.
Yes. I was running a 2.1 rom (Bionix) with a 1.2ghz oc, the uv kernal and the voodoo lagfix (which WAS DISABLED before flashing) but I thought I did everything right. If I had known that switching from a 2.1 rom to a 2.2 rom would have been this much more involved than I thought, I might have reconsidered...lol
I did a Nandroid backup using clockworkmod prior to doing anything else. I got to the red recovery (not 100% sure how I did it, to be honest) and tried to flash my backup and it didn't work.
I'm going to try the previous post about flashing back to stock, then doing the DoW flash but that's kind of a last resort. I'd like to not wipe my data, nandroid, etc before flashing but it's kinda whatever at this point since my phone doesn't work at all right now...lol
Thanks once again all of you!!! This is what makes Android what it is.
Just updated flashed my phone to Axura 2.3.1.2 and for some odd reason the boot animation keeps rebooting. I've disabled voodoo lag fix and I am still experiencing the same problem. :-?
Previous rom was axura 2.2.1 froyo rom for eclair

Which rom specifically?
Also you shouldnt have to disable voodoo if you are coming from another voodoo rom.
have you tried reflashing the rom?
I got the same prob. Try to get back to stock T959UVJFD using odin and reflash.
Axura is nice but it shows many compatible troubles when trying with different kernels/mod.
I tried reflashing several times but no luck so far. And the previous rom I was using was the froyo rom for eclair the download zip file name is AXURA22VE...I'm thinkin I should probably have ODIN to stock Eclair, then update my phone to stock froyo before flashing this rom.
dont bother with stock froyo just odin to jfd then root install cwm and flash the rom
going to stock froyo includes the updated 3e recovery which can be circumvented but requires extra work on your part.
Thx shreddintyres :-D
You know I forgot to state this earlier but I can get to recovery mode (cwm v2.5.1.3 red lettering not green) should I just do a backup and restore from there?!?! I am not sure if the axura 2.3.1.2 file I have is corrupt or is it something I am doing wrong on my end when flashing the rom?

Sounds like a bad download to me. I would redownload it. I flash in the red cwm all the time.

@op when did you download axura 2312? the D4A server went down a couple days ago and we are trying to restore all the files on the new site.
Redownloading 2312 will be not be possible at this point in time, i have posted a download for 2310 in the Axura development thread until the site is fully functional again. there isnt a very large difference between 2310 and 2312.
if you are still able to add files to your phone i would try to flash from CWM first otherwise if you cant jfd will be your only choice.
Hope this Helps
Thx guys I'm in the process of recovering from cwm now, tbh I haven't used ODIN before so before I try it hopefully my nandroid backup will restore everything. I downloaded the 2.3.1.2 rom I believe the day it came out.
the downloads on the d4a webiste are back up for the vibrant rom
http://devsforandroid.com/index.php?topic=23.0
Sweet I just finished dl'ing 2.3.1.3 hopefully it all works out. BTW I was able to easily restore my backup...flashin new rom now will update soon.
thanx men that really helps
All is well :-D I guess the old file I had was corrupted bc I flashed this rom w/ no problems at all...Thx
I know several people have gotten Nemesis2all's OTB 1.5 for CM7 working with Jt's CM7 Alpha3. However, I cannot figure out how to get it to work. Everytime I try, The phone just keeps repeating the Samsung logo screen (Samsung keeps flashing on and off.) Then, I can't access CWM unless I use Odin again. Any ideas?

I'm betting you downloaded the one navenedrob posted in nemesis's thread. That one is broken. Flash this one and you will be good to go: http://adbdev.com/danknub/SF_GB_OTB-Reloaded_ver1.5.zip
So THATS the problem! Thanks.
EDIT: YAY! IT WORKS!
Hello. A friend of mine recently bought a Vibrant that is stuck at a constant boot loop. I have a heavily modified Captivate, so I know that as long as the phone boots up, it can get to Download Mode. I am in the process of reverting the phone to JFD using Odin. My question is, which is the most recent OFFICIAL f/w available for the T-Mobile Vibrant?
"Official" Froyo I believe was KB1. But KB5 is the last leak we got (and most likely will ever get). I can't think of a reason why you shouldn't use KB5. Most will agree that it's better than the "official" KB1.
excellent, i'll look it up and install it. thanks a lot bro!
No problem. There's a stock deodexed KB5 somewhere in Vibrant Dev forum but if you want a slick custom rom I'd suggest either ZenDroid or Project-V.
Project v is a sweet 2.2 custom rom....only issue ive ever had with it is you dont get a notification for voice mail,so if you see a missed call...it doesnt mean you dont have a voice mail message....better go check.
Other than that its perfect with everything working.
Granted you can download other apps to work around the voicemail notification

Pull battery, sim, and ext sd if you have one. Wait 10 seconds or so. Put only the battery back in. Hold vol up+down and plug in usb to boot into Download mode. Try flashing JFD again. See if that works for you.
