Dears I upgrdede to 2.2 and seems to work but most of the phone functions didn't work so I decide to down grade to original 2.1 again.
I went to download mode started odin and put the files and started but nothing happend so I unpluged the mobile and ended with the phone not working so I cant run 2.2 or 2.1 tryed to go back to 2.2 but still it starts on the odin and then stops.
can any one help?
What do you mean nothing happened? And this is the wrong section btw.
odin started to use the files and then stopped saying dont turn target off, and took so long as if it hanged
What version of ODIN are you using?
odin 3.1 .........
And which rom are you using? Make sure its the JDF one and not the JI6.
Have you ever used odin before? If not make sure you have the samsung drivers installed. If using vista or windows 7 open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. Then once its open put phone in download mode and connect it to the computer. Try again.
I think you mean Odin3 1.0
You need to upgrade to Odin 1.7 first of all, it can be found in this section in the Bible. Then like he said, grab JFD and the 512 pit file.
can you provide the links please to get the 4 fils PIT,PDA,Phone,CSC
I will be gratefull
You only need the Pit and PDA
Odin 1.7

Make sure your phone is in download mode with the big yellow sign.
I will try it and let you know
Thank you for your help, it means a lot

What froyo rom did you flash? Did you flash it through recovery or with odin?
also as someone else stated, you should move this to q&a. While some will help you none the less, a few of people on here like the taste of freshly seared meat from time to time

Ah good to know because I flashed a kernel first lol..
I ended up with a bigger problem
I used odin to flas and added these files
s1_odin_20100512 pit
and T959UVJE8 PDA , Phone files and selected repartetion and started , it had 2.2 on it and was not working fine.
was installed and the restarted and there you go not working
Okay. So I pushed Axura final onto my phones internal sd card and booted into recovery mode. The damned Axura copy ( it downloaded properly via google chrome, no errors) had some issue with it and DID NOT install properly. I tried again and again to make it work, did not load flash from voodoo eclair 2.1 to axura which is 2.2.
Now I want to use ODIN and come back.
I get into download mode BEAUTIFULLY using youtubes """Samsung Vibrant download mode; Corntez" .
and then load Odin, load pit file, and the tar/jar file. detected as COM 6 Odin says "added" . then run it. RUNS perfectly. firmware update start; cache.rfs;modem.bin;factoryfs.rfs; and all, and the blue bar finished completely.
Then restarts, "VIBRANT" says "data wiping failed " , everything else succeeds...lots of small writing....restart' VIBRANT" ; then Samsung Galaxy S shiny logo.
Now.....the plot thickens and my vibrant does not move forward. Black, black screen.
If I touch the bottom touch keys---viz, home etc...they light up fine. But the screen. the beautiful screen, remains as dark as Lord Voldemorts heart.
What to do??
I forgot to mention that I moved from a forward port on my thinkpad to an aft port )); and the COM4 in ODIN changed to COM 6 , promptly.
Odin is causing some issues. seems like. Any suggestions and links for newer, better versions of the T mobile stock firmware.????
Need I mention that I had voodoo before I tried to put Axura on? I did.
Thanks for all the help, in anticipation,
cheers

Houston we have a problem. Voodoo MUST be disabled BEFORE you flash. There are plenty of info on the board on how to do this. Then ODIN to stock then FLASH. Not all ROM's need a lag fix, some just run smooth!
my phone is doing the same thing but all i did was hit the voodoo button that was available in the oclf app and it went dumb the women counted down and said complete after a while and then it stuck on the vibrant samsung screen. i flash with stock rom and now its doing what this guys phone is doing please help us
Hey, yes, I read somewhere, that voodoo needs to be disabled. I did not do that, I had issues doing that.

For the dear love of [deity]/self-sufficiency, go read how to solve your problem
(You need to flash Eugene's "froyo that does not brick." Then flash whichever firmware you want.)
Can someone post a link to Eugenes Froyo that does not brick please. Eugene himself has removed all support. Also, I found a zip file for Eugene somewher and NOT a tar or whateva file type ODIN uses to restore firmware.

I have tried but doesn't work for me. Unfortunatly I too did not disable voodoo before flashing and now I am stuck and can not get into download screen. I guess I will have to take my stuff to a cell phone repair since I have ran out of options.
got eugenes software. Now I am going to try out this:
""""
ok so here is what you have to do:
1. download odin, froyo that doesn't brick, and 2.1 true stock
2. go to download mode, flash the pit and tar file from the froyo that doesn't brick (DON'T RE-PARTITION!)
3. it will boot into recovery and error out, DONT PANIC, that is what is supposed to happen
4. remove battery (from phone) and usb from phone and computer
5. put battery back in, access odin and download mode
6. flash the pit and tar file from the true 2.1 stock (RE-PARTITION THIS TIME!)
7. if done successfully, your phone software will like when you just took it out of the box!"""
If all this does not work out, I have the 6 $ a month insurance from T Mobile---how do I use that? They might just say **** off, you screwed with the ROM and bricked the phone! Should I told them that someone flicked at Swing dance class.....instead of " I bricked it" sorry!!!!
Your opinions on this???

My opinion on this is not to worry unless it doesn't work. But since you know how to use Odin and your phone can get into download mode okay, it should work.
With the insurance there is a hefty copay. But you should be fine.
After installing a ROM and rebooting the phone everything seemed to work fine. The only problem is that it I can not install any programs because it thinks that I have no space available.
Now I did not backup my system... I do have an older backup on my laptop... but I can not install clockwork because there is no space.
please help!
Thanks in Advance!
it might be a problem with the ROM.
ODIN back to stock, then flash that same rom again, if its still there, contact the DEV and tell him, because its their fault.
If it gets fixed with re-flash something went wrong while flashing and that happened.
What ROM did you install? Was it ODEX or DEODEX?
I agree with the above post, if an ODIN doesn't solve the problem, it sounds like a problem with the rom, but a little more info on your situation wouldn't hurt.
Thanks for the input... I hope to resolve this before tomorrow! The ROM was Bionix Fusion
I am new to this and probably should have researched a little more. lol
Ok I have downloaded the ODIN3 v1.00
How do I ODIN back to stock?
I have the Samsung Vibrant,
Having the same issue when running Odin with Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo ...I ran Odin to fix a brick and didn't know the history of the phone. This is the only tar that will boot the phone all the way up, but I get the 0.00 available space error too. I tried stock and almost get a full boot up, but then goes black before going to main screen... I've tried many different combos including T959UVJFD.tar + s1_odin_20100512 pit , 512 pit + T959UVJI6, T959JL5, etc...
suggestions?
The ROM itself seems nice... I like the changes I've seen. For some reason it does not recognize the space that is available on the SD card as space for Applications. I've read a post somewhere about repartitioning the SD card in ODIN. ROM manager is s pretty much useless without clockwork recovery installed.... can not install it without space available. I tried repartitioning in ODIN but would not do it... is this something that could work? Maybe I am doing something else wrong,... or any other suggestions?
At this point I will be happy to go back to factory settings then start over...

I agree... This thread would probably get more attention in the development section, but I may be wrong. I will keep trying things and let you know if I come up with something...
Actually now I am having the same problem... Went back to the original using ODIN now when the phone boots up it goes to a blank screen and will not go any further!

Okay... YAY!!! I got it working! Here's how!
I want to note that every time I would Flash the phone with ODIN when the phone would reboot it would fail to wipe the data! This was not a fix that I found on purpose but it did work for me:
I flashed the file EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA
Now that file is for the Vibrant i9000. Not mine
So after that I re-tried the original one that I stated above,.... then it worked! I did notice that it did NOT fail to wipe the data!
So relieved!

Thanks for posting your resolution in the event this happens to someone else down the line. Glad you got it up and running.
Yup that is the true stock firmware... try this, it might help and it might not? when you boot your phone and it loads up, format your internal and external sdcard. (back up first) then reboot.... see if that helps. if not, odin the stock rom again. right now i'm shooting at flies with a BB gun so it is worth a try anyway...... and i'll try and research it for ya......
oops i didnt know you found a way....my bad. glad you got it working!!!!
So is that the way to fix it then? I just want to know if anyone else has tried it with no problem before i do it. Also, will you be able to flash back to stock?
I flashed the files that were included with the ODIN package and i now don't have any memory for applications also is the only way to fix this issue by using ODIN again or has someone found another method?
Did you use OCLF at any time previously?

I tried voodoo for the first time and couldn't get past the vibrant screen i then used the odin package the tmobile default files and got to the tmobil boot screen but the screen goes black and nothing happens my hard ware keys were on but that's it so then i used eugenes package based off the tmobile leak and that's where i'm at now it works but no application memory available.
so i want to see if i can just use ODIN with the file that is up a couple of posts to get my app memory back
How much available app space are we suppose to have?
So I know the phone has 2GB of app space, but when I totally wipe everything and go back to stock, it says only about 1.7GB.
go to settings, then sd card and phone storage
scroll all the way down to application storage
how much available space is it suppose to have under stock conditions?

Can you post the EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA file? I flashed Eugene_2E_JK2 Froyo, and then tried flashing the original JFD Stock Rom, but it gave me a black screen after the Galaxy S screen. Also, it didn't wipe the data for me.
has anyone fixed this? i have the same problem im stuck
Ok, I was restoring my phone to stock with odin following these stpes
Disable Voodoo
Odin to eugenes froyo that wont brick
sticks at vibrant screen
tried odining to JFD
odin completes but still hangs at the vibrant screen
I have tried with and with out repartition checked and I am able to enter and exit download mode freely, I have tried 3 differnt versions of odin and 2 different downloads of the pda and pits. Any help would be great.
EDIT, Odin is finishing at the pass stage when the phone attempts to boot Currently flashing the JI6 seeing if it works.
Still not getting anywhere, I have now tried to odin to eugenes froyo, JFD, JI6, all which end the same with out a boot screen, I can get download but no recovery.
From my understanding when you flash eugenes froyo that wont brick the boot animation should change to the international one, mine has not done that so I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with the flashes themself.
How long did you wait after flashing the stock firmware? The first boot usually takes a while after an Odin. Did Odin finish flashing everything to the point that it said restart in blue?
You can find instructions to revert to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
I've gotten myself out of some pretty bad "bricks" with JFD and ODIN... make sure you also use the stock .pit file and you can check repartition, use JFD and should fix you right up.
I have waited for 10-15 minutes after it says restart and then sometimes after it says pass, and I have done to jfd and stock pit.
left phone at boot fell asleep woke up hr or so later still at vibrant screen, still cannot access recovery but can access download mode.
To OP. What custom rom did you run before flashing back to stock? Have you recovered?

I was on axura the newest one and did not like it that much tbh had tons of processes starting nonstop and was constantly down to 35m of memory while idle. No I have not recoverd, I have flashed every combo I can think of with ODIN but alas have had no luck.
Currently it is being warrantied out for a free replacement.

So tired.... I am in the same boat. But I get to flash Eugenes froyo but i have 0 room in app storage. Then When I try to Odin to stock JFD and stock .pit it all goes well untill I get to recovery and it tells me in red text "data wipe failed"
The phone reboots and goes black after the galaxy s animation.
You think samsung will fix it for me? I go the phone in July 2010.
To OP.
have you tried flashing eugenes froyo that doesn't brick? I can't understand why a lot of these bricks are happening right now. Especially when you do flash your phone back to stock.

How would I know if samsung will fix it.. I called tmobile said it got bricked while doing JI6 boom problem solved. Their support is not that great though he was having me try to access root by calling it a secert master menu, then asked if i tethered my comp to it but his definition of tether was syncing files I was just playing dumb and letting him ask me his questions

Rooting your device and flashing custom roms onto it voids your warranty from t-mobile. You are wasting your time trying to see if they will help, This is NOT in their job description. They might laugh at you.
@OP Try flashing to a TRUE stock firmware, I personally would not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom, does that make sense? You should go back to t-mobiles legit 2.1. There is a link in the Bible here under the Dev forum. But, The link is broken. So Ive uploaded it here http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg
Don't give up on odin yet, try things like changing your usb ports on the computer, this has worked for me. I also have a video tutorial using odin, it might be of some help to you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10207377&postcount=1
