Thanks for your help.
great time to brush up on your reading skills. read the Vibrant Directory stickied above you. I'm sure it's fixable
Have you tried checking the VIBRANT DIRECTORY BIBLE which is stickied in this forum? That would be a good place to start rather than posting a non development question in the development forum.
There is a link titled *How to recover from a "soft brick" on your Vibrant and return to stock. (Phone ! PC error)...I would suggest checking it out.

1. No it is not
2. Wrong section for posting this.
3. Do some reading. Get a stock Rom.
i had this very same problem yesterday and instead-of freaking out and asking GOD for help in exchange of my life, i just read the forum and fixed it my self, please do some search!
Use Odin to flash Eugune Froyo that doesn't break...
then back to Stock Rom with re-partition..
helped me every time even with voodoo lag fix wrong flash....
and yes you can find all this in the bible
^everyone above is right
you will find all the info you need on the page they have sent you to. Its really seems to be hard to irreversibly brick this phone so have hope and learn the ins and outs this time around before f####ing your phone up.

Vibrant Directory Bible FTW...
wrong section of the forums.
and
did you get it figured out?
I found out how to do it in the Q&A section, I think. But anyways, I figured out that its pretty hard to brick a vibrant phone, but I wouldn't mess around with it.
Had this same prob, go into download mode (power on holding power and both vol buttons while powering on, after second flash of logo, let go power) Then download stock JFD rom for ODIN. (If odin doesnt see you phone, then unplug and replug while in download mode) Flash the JFD rom via ODIN and your back in biz.
He is obviously freaking out a bit, we have all been there, cut him some slack people jesus.
ITS THE WRONG FORUM is such an asshole move when people are freaking out.

All you need it do is open ODIN, get your phone in Download mode, Make sure you have the right files
PIT FILE-- s1_odin_20100512.pit
STOCK ZIP-- T959UVJFD
PDA FILE-- T959-PDA
and hit the START button
I bricked my phone up a few times and worked everytime.
Tried it on 2.2 & 2.1 update1 Both reflashed to Stock with no problem. Hope that helps.

Thanks in advance
Get into download mode by pulling the battery. plug in your phone to your pc. while holdin the volume keys down put the battery back in ,this should take you to download mode .then Odin eugenes froyo that doesn't brick after that reset odin and put the pit file and jfd file then odin then you should be fine.

Go read the sticky, as it's more in depth than anyone could be. It also has some videos which you'll most likely need once you get into download mode.

If nothing else works, look up the jig solution. Almost guaranteed that will set the phone on download mode. Once on download mode ODIN back to factory stock. If you are not comfortable i will do it for you for free. Depending on where you are located you could either bring it to me or ship it over.
Hope that helps.
If all else fails, keep your $20 and spend it on this, if you cannot make your own jig:

If you haven't tried yet, use a different cable or a different USB. If you have a lot of devices plugged in unplug all the ones you don't need and try again.
Goto the vibrant bible and follow the instructions on using the eugene froyo rom that does not brick. Once you loaded that up than you can flash back a 2.1 flashable rom. From there you can use clockwork mod to flash one og the american version froyo roms.

NOOB GUIDE: HOW TO ROOT/ODIN/FLASH/RECOVER
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
This is the ONLY thread you need to read.
vegabyson, i found this for you, should be exactly what you are looking for to unbrick your phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
im in a soft brick, used aio toolbox to try to flash to stock from 2.2 and now my phone just flashes the vibrant logo and the battery icon with the loading circle thing over it, ive been to 4 or 5 different forum threads about fixing it using odin but nothing has worked. odin goes through the whole process ad says it passes but nothing, still stuck. im about to go to tmobile and either talk my way into a new one or pay the insurance deductible for a new one and forget about all this rooting stuff, but if someone can walk me through fixing it in the next day or two, ill donate via paypal
When you used Odin did you get into the download mode? And which files/ROM did you use with flashing Odin?
You need to use Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick and the stock JFD Eclair ROM that comes with our phone (Stock ROM). I was in your position when I didn't disable voodoo while going to a different ROM once. That scared me to death lol.
If you're phone starts you can fix it. Read the stickies and find the noob guide for Odin then donate to OP.
If you can get into download it is easily fixable.
In the noob section there are methods to getting into download mode. Try this one first, :
Remove the battery, remove the sim and remove sd card. Get Odin up on the computer and plug the usb cord into the computer not the the phone. Holding both volume rocker buttons down at the same time plug the phone into the usb that should get it to go in to download mode. There are variants of this method, like ... do the same but keep the battery in. Or, go into recovery mode and then do the same thing with it on. Read the noob guide by S15274N he has all of them posted and explained.
If none of these work for you, then Buy a jig from Connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com) for 8 bucks it will get you into Download mode. You can find him in the forum or that website. It works without effort. YOU SHOULD BUY ONE ANYWAY.
Once in ODIN :
You will need a stock JFD Tar file, pit512 file
1 Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
2 You want to check the 're-partition' box.
3 Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
4 Then, root the phone (use superoneclick) then Download Rom manger open it into flash CWM. Then you can flash your new Rom.

Appreciate that man. To the OP, this is easily fixed... oka1 has you on the right path. If you need help, just PM me... I spent 2 hours with a guy last week doing this, rooting him afterwards and getting him a custom ROM... no money was given.
ODIN is the answer. The noob guide has at the bottom of the OP a subject called the ALT METHOD. It will fix your phone, give a leaked froyo (upgrade it later), root and a recovery.... just by pressing like 3 buttons.
i have the jfd tar and both the 512 pit and 513 pit, have tried them both and both with repartition checked and unchecked, tried every combination i could think of even used all 4 of my usb ports, still nothin. in odin when i goes through the process itll say RESET in blue then after about 2 minutes itll say PASS in green, but my phone will just have the battery icon on it with the loading wheel thing over it....thats it everytime. i get into download mode just fine btw
T959UVJFD and s1_odin_2010512
you will have to odin to eugene's froyo that does not brick then odin jfd and 512
yeah i just got eugenes froyo "that doesnt brick" i may be jumping to conclusions but i think it may need a name change cuz now im bricked....just a complete black screen doesnt do anything no download mode no recovery no nothing

OVERSTOCK
Hiya guys.
Sorry for urgency, but for reasons I had to try and go back to stock. I tracked down a kernel and firmware and tried flashing them both. The firmware I did first in odin and it worked, but caused a boot loop, so went back into download mode and attempted to flash the kernel but that failed. Now the phone wont boot at all (Stuck at screen with phone on left, computer on right and exclamation mark in the middle...never seen this one before).
I have done my searching in the forum but have found no solid instructions as to what files to download. This was an UNBRANDED GS2 purchased in the UK if it helps. i.e. not locked to any carrier, purchased out of contract.
I'm at witts end with this, have not got a clue what to do from now. Sorry about this guys, any help would me greatly appreciated.

I will attempt to download the "I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1" firmware because I think this is the one that most makes sense for my model, but I dont think it will work in my scenario. So just flash this via odin in the PDA section and all should be well? Did I not bugger anything up with the failed Kernel?

ok.. here,
First, I believe you did post at the wrong section?
Second, the reason you see a Exclaimation Mark is because the phone believes that you are not using the original ROM and believe that i has been Flash before.
Lastly, You would need to get a Samsung JIG.
i have already give you the Answer.. on how to use the JIG please google.

If you purchased the device at Carphone Warehouse look for firmware labelled as CWP. If anywhere else then look for XEU labelled firmware. Flash it with Odin as per the instructions in the link above. When you are done boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
The picture depics your phone connected to a pc! Do not use a jig, thats when it is bricked, your phone is not bricked. Your phone is asking you to be put it into download mode and flashed (via Odin), a rom .Unplug usb, take battery out and put it back in. Press home, down volume at the same time as switching phone on, that should get you into download mode. You can now flash. Take battery out now and read on.
Go to Samfirmware, login, toolbox,firmware, android and galaxy s2. Download xxkf2 rom. Find xwkdd.tar insecure kernel on web and dowload it.Go into download mode on phone,as you did before. Flash xxkf2 via Odin. You will now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 unrooted.Flash xwdd as pda in Odin. You will now have a kernel that can be rooted via 1click root on your pc via usb.
On another post, I've posted this to SG2 questions and answers not the to the developer forums, which I believe I can't do until I've posted 10 posts to other forums.

If that does not work which inkyadrian has stated then go off to ebay and buy a £4 usb jig for i9100 which also resets the binary counter for non stock rom's
This tool is invaluable so i would suggest buying one anyway.

Help me guys, what do I do to make it work again?
Thanks

If you can still get into download mode (volume down+home, then power) then simply flash a stock ROM with Odin via PDA, no repartition, no pit, and you are back in business.
I feel like I'm going to be sick... I can't have my phone being bricked...
Where do I get stock ROMs from man?
First advice: Relax. I know it may seem hard to do, but you are most likely just stuck. If you are able to power up, then you probably are fine. if you can get download mode, you are definitely fine.
Relax. Check the link in the Stock ROM thread by Intratech. Follow the directions EXACTLY as written (pictures included for clarity) and you'll be fine.
Most of us have had similar things happen. You'll learn. It's not that complicated, but just relax, go slow... read... and follow the instructions.
Here's the stock ROM thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I'd suggest a more current stock ROM, such as KJ3 or KK5 for you.
I can turn it on, get it into recovery, and get it into download...
Thank you so much man, if this works for me, I'll PM you and ask for a paypal address or something for donation.
I just fired up Odin 1.85, PDA'd KI8, started, it said it passed, no more pesky triangle, but still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S II screen?

Turn off your phone and take out the battery for few seconds then put it back and try turning on the phone. If still stuck on samsung screen, then try flashing another ROM. (KK5 for instance) Make sure you follow to the letter the instructions inside the link provided by donalgodon.
