Ok so I was flashing the Axura 2.0.5 rom and I didnt see anything happening, so I got anxious and did something incredibly stupid, I pulled the battery. Now in the process i believe that i pulled the battery at the time the internal sd was being rewritten. At this point my phone will boot but will get stuck at the vibrant screen. I can get into download mode but I am unable to get into clockwork recovery (if I could then i'd just flash my nandroid backup). I've tried using odin v 1.0 and 1.30 to no avail. I'm using the 512 pit file and the t959uvjfd.tar files to try and reinstall and go back to stock. However when I do this my screen displays Applying Muti-csc, instaling muti csc. When I try to use odin I am able to see my phone in com9 but am unable to do anything with it aside from get into download mode. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me. I have also tried to use the command propt and ADB to try and get this to work but I get the error of no device found.

What happens when you try to get into recovery? If you've borked a rom Install you can *usually* recover from it as nothing is really permanent in the phones memory.
When I try and get into recovery (I assume you mean clockworkmod) I select reinstall packages and I get the following error " E; cant open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) installation aborted.
I am only able to access stock recovery.

Okay well you aren't completely out of luck, Ive had that before on my Fascinate, try to redownload the update.zip file for CWM and try again. Sometimes that fixes it for me *for some odd reason*
The problem is that I can't get into CWM recovery, only stock recovery, also how would I push update.zip if I cant get any where with odin?

If you have a card reader of some sort then you can mount your Micro SD card on your PC and do it like that, or if you have another Android phone then you can use it to mount the Micro SD card, just swap em. download the update.zip and drop it on the root of the card then in the stock recovery try and flash it.
My problem is i dont know how to access the root files right now, i am unable to do anything on the phone aside from access stock recovery
I am currently attempting this method "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817186" but nothing is happening with odin i am only seeing that odin has recognized the device but is stuck at "setupconnection" using odin v1.30
does anyone have a copy of the update.zip file to use to unpack clockwork?
I thought the update.zip had to be on the internal SD to work.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i think this is it
also I think I have to get it on the internal SD card but I'm not sure how to go about doing that seeing as how I have no access to anything but the recovery menu and odin which fails to make a connection. I get the yellow port but nothing happens beyond that.
Yeah you've got a true problem there I'm not sure what to do about that sorry man
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
out of curiousity is it possible to remove the internal sd card and mount inside a card reader to add or edit files?
Im not sure there is an actual removable chip as much as its a part of the phones memory
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
it was worth a shot, how would yall go about talking to t-mobile so that they would provide a new phone with out me having to pay 600ish for a new phone
Well there is an external SD card in the phone but as for the Internal memory that is NOT on an SD card, its a packaged chip not a removable media
any other thoughts about how i might use odin or the sdk to access my files on the root folders? so that i could insert the zip file?

I'm not sure about that I mean you voided the warranty I guess you could tell them its messed up and hope they don't figure out what you did but its on you, I think you might just have to bite down and take the heat
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
is there really any way for them to tell that i've rooted the phone and what happened, normally dont they just check to see if the phone has physical damage and water damage?
They refurbish phones there is no way they give out new phones on replacements I mean hell you could end up with one I had three months ago lol but maybe they won't check who knows but either way its a gamble

I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.
something like this happened to a buddy of mine, i'm trying to fix it, but the guy was completely stock so it makes no sense... I've tried everything, and i cant seem to find eugenes files...

Well, upon inspection of a the Nero V3 build I had downloaded, there was a ROMManager.apk there. So I pushed it onto my phone, reflashed to CWR (had to do it about 3 times) and reinstalled Nero V3.
After installing the build, I was able to re-enable voodoo and its theres no more MD5 craziness when I access the Recovery

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
Hello,
I consider myself a fairly technical person, and I recently had my phone lock up while running Nero V3 for my Samsung Vibrant. When I tried to reboot (battery pull) my internal SD was corrupted, so i decided to return to stock. I was not running any lag fixes at this time. Upon flashing to stock with Odin, I was greeted with a black screen and 4 lights. I've been trying everything to fix this. I saw that many people with the same issue have had luck flashing Eugene's Froyo that Doesn't Brick, and then flashing the JFD stock rom. I tried this as well, and have had no luck.
I am stuck. I don't know what to do. I have managed to load CWM recovery, and i can adb into the device, but when I try to push an update.zip, I get an I/O error.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just not suer where to go from here. I really believe if I could just format and re-partition the internal SD, I would be able to get it all back...
Thanks.
When you say you flashed "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick", how did it not work? Were you able to get into download mode and odin the proper files? Did it error out?

If you are able to boot into clockwork recovery you can format your internal sdcard there. That should fix your corruption issue. After that I would boot into download mode and Odin stock JFD with re-partition clicked. Hopefully that gets you up and running. Then if you actually NEED any files from you internal sdcard (like pictures) there are programs out there that let you recover items off erased harddrives. Just be sure to do that before filling up your sdcard with new stuff. Hope this helps and good luck.
Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick gave me an error, and I read that it was supposed to. So from there, I got into download mode and used Odin to install the JFD Stock Rom. Odin was always successful when it came to installing and rebooting my device.
Recovery "says" that it sucessfully formats my sd card, but the files remain, and I still cannot boot. When I use Odin to flash any other ROM, I get the same result. I either get a black screen with 4 lights, or it gets hung up on the Samsung Vibrant screen.
Also, I'm not concerned with any files on the internal SD.
If you can get into cwm recovery and download mode, you should be able to get out of this. Try to format sd from cwm as whitehawk suggested. Did jfd odin error out as well? Can you restore from cwm?

You need to delete the jfd file and the 512 pit file from your computer and redownload them
I would be happy to try. Where should I get them from?
Also, is there a way to delete my Internal SD from my pc or adb?
Downloading now from Vibrant Bible Sticky post link.
Same result.
Try this fix and you should also take out your sim card and your external sd card
Same result.
I wonder if, since Nero is stuck on my phone, and the file system is unreachable, is there a way to load Nero on my phone? I can't from CMRecovery, I tried. Can I Odin a copy of that rom on there? Just long enough to remove the files and reflash?

I believe the key is you need to find a voodoo kernel you can push via odin. I searched a little and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877800 If you scroll down in the OP you will find a section called "Downloads" the bold text in gold will link you to a voodoo .tar kernel.
Hope this helps

If the phone cannot get past the black screen, just delete the CWM zip and tell t-Mobile it just stopped working, they wont be able to get further than you and will give you a new phone.
I was attempting to reflash my vibrant to the latest bionix v rom, but something went wrong and it all crashed.
I was able to restore it back to stock 2.2 using odin, as it was stuck on the samsung vibrant boot screen, but now it is telling me that there is no available space for applications.
I really would like to install rom manager and get bionix on it again, but i cant install anything from market, nor will most programs admit there is any space available on my sd card. It is obviously there and empty, reformatted, because my computer recognizes it when mounted and the web app is using it for cache.
Additionally, my internal sd card is only showing up as 2.4 GB, not the 16 something it should be. Even in disk utility and gparted in linux it is showing up as 2.4.
system recovery version is 2e and it is telling me "novinand checksum confirmation fail" -honestly I have no idea what this means.
My best guess is my sd card isnt partitioned right for the phone to see whats really there, but I cant exactly manually format it on my desktop, when its not showing up as the full disk size.
any ideas?
Not being able to install anything or flash to a custom rom seriously defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.
Thanks in advance

Odin back to stock 2.1 with repartition checked, that should fix it. If it doesn't let us know, so other members with ideas can chime in.
Im pretty sure that's what I did first-
This is the guide I followed-
back to 2.1 using odin, however It never escaped the black screen abyss.

According to that guide you used Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick,which is 2.2 not 2.1. That also might be what caused your phone to do that. If you left repartition checked on that odin file then you might sol, but I hope not.
You should download the Vibrant All in One toolbox for the PC. It's a very handy tool and comes with the right files to odin back to 2.1 with repartition checked successfully .If you choose to download it, when you get it installed there will be a button that says flash to stock. That's the button you want to use.
I believe I deserve retard status- that wasnt the guide I used.
odin to 2.1 didnt boot-
eugenes 2.2 did-
perhaps I should add that it did the same thing ( 0.00B available) when i had bionix on it
I will try this toolbox you speak of-
Thanks
Got AIO vibrant toolbox- followed the directions it contained.
Flashed to stock with repartition enabled- however goes to black screen with softkeys illuminated after the stupid tmobile boot logo.
Pretty much does nothing after that.
Still stumped...Further ideas?

I did manage to get 2.1 flashed on my phone, and it will let me install applications again, however i cant seem to get CWM to stay...each time i try to reboot back to it, it goes back to the default 2e.
For the record- and if anyone else has this problem...I used AIO vibrant toolbox to attempt to flash to stock, and when that left me with a blank black screen, I flashed eugenes Rom that cant be bricked. Amazing. It didnt do much except let me flash 2.1 again, and praise the lord, it actually booted.
I am also still getting the MBR checksum fail message when i boot into recovery...which means to me that this problem still isnt solved
I still would really like some input on this.

Maybe ? -
Reinstall Clockwork app from the market, then from the app select "Flash Clockwork Recovery"
From the 2E recovery Ive have to hit "reinstall packages" twice for it to come up.

Yes normally when you go into recovery you will have to select reinstall packages 2 times to actually get into the clockwork recovery. If that isn't working then try to flash clockwork through rom manager.
Did you ever get it working properly ?
Well as the title states i have a Vibrant in my hand that someone attempted to flash a Galaxy S 4g rom to. After finding out the issue and getting the phone back using Odin i have access to everything again.
I have recovery , download, and can boot back into os, but when the phone boots it gets to where it is loading the sd cards and it resets.
I have tried it with the SD card out, and sim card removed i have reflashed i have searched.. and now im finally conceding defeat and need help.
I KNOW there is a Vibrant update file in the onboard memory in the System/Bin but i thought a hundred hard resets and a few odin sweeps would have killed it..
Help please..
Another sweep with odin on a new cable and a new jar and its golden! Time to dig back in and do it right this time
I am having the same issue. I can not get into recovery to install a new rom. Who do I need to do? Help please

You need to use Odin from download mode.
Flashing 4G ROM = very bad. They have different partitions. Mistakes happen.
I am completely stuck trying to get my Fascinate back to stock and i have read through and tried everything i have seen on the issue execpt the How to completely remove voodoo lagfix because I cannot down load the original.mbr file.
Let me see if I can sum up the issues I am having on my phone;
I mistakenly flashing I9000 which led to a soft bricked phone. Since then I have spent the past seven days researching and trying to figure out how to get it fixed.
Phone shows 0.00 internal memory
Can't mount SD Card in CWM3-Voodoo-Blue E: Unable to mount sdcard so i can't install update.zip or even install a new kernel
Permission denied ... E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
While I don't remember flashing a voodoo kernel using Odin, I am getting all of the same errors. I can't get CWM to do anything with the SD Card
Phone stats:
Firmware 2.2.1
Baseband version S:i500.04 V.EB01
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
Build number SCH.I500.EB01
I can only get the following to run on my phone, EC10SC292x_DXC.tar.md5 from Droid Forums (Super Clean version 2.9.2 - EB01/EC10 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmod with MALWARE protection).
This runs great except for the 0.00 memory and unable to mount SD card errors in CWM recovery.
I have tried everything out there with no luck to include flashing back to stock using the threads on this site and others and Odin gets stuck at the movinand file install and fails. Everything except the thread How to completely remove Voodoo Lagfix over.
The link for the orginal.mbr is broken and I can't find the file anywhere.
Does anyone have the original.mbr file they could post for download.
Odin back to stock ED05 using the pit file and repartition. If that isn't enough Odin back to DI01 using the pit to repartition.

Are you using Odin with the battery pulled? Sometimes that helps. Basically hold the volume down button when plugging in the USB cable and it will still use the download mode. If that doesn't help maybe the download is corrupt so try redownloading.

Yes, Odin with battery out. at least fourth time re-downloading all the stock files. It seem that the only files that make it through Odin are then custom ROMs. All of the stock downloads fail at the movinand install point.
Have you tried a different USB cable? Also what version of ODIN are you using? The most reliable one I've used is 1.3.

Yes on the usb cable, 4 to be exact and odin 1.3 and 1.7. 1.3 has been the most stable.
I think i have tried everything across the board and like I said the only files that make it through Odin and pass have been the custom roms, anything that say stock locks up in Odin.
I would try the full GeeWiz Rom then with the pit file with Repartition checked. I'm not sure if it contains the movinand.bin file or not. If not then try GeeWiz with just the Rom & Kernel; that doesn't wipe data.
Also have you tried wiping the SDCard in either CWM or GeeWiz recovery?
If that doesn't help, I'm out of suggestions, and unfortunately I don't have the mbr file so I'm no help there.

First try locked up on the movinand file. downloading the other and will try.
Thanks again for the help.
I had a similar problem. Im not an expert but Re-installing the usb drivers and giving odin a few more tries solved everything for me.
Thanks, seven days of this and I have done each of these more times than I count. Anything with a movinand file locks up.
Wife wants to buy me an Iphone but I am resisting because I really like to the android system and versatility. Will out as long as i can fix this issue.
The only other thing I can think of is taking the sdcard out and trying to put it in a card reader and format it there. Either that or moving it to a different phone and trying to reformat it.

Try re-flashing Clockwork Recovery in Odin, or even a different copy from Times_Infinity's thread. Perhaps then it will recognize your sd card.
Terminators run on Android
Try flashing Eh03 stock with odin with out pit or repartition.
Just try the image

Tried eh03 stock and multiple cwm and still no go. Still have 0.00 internal memory and no sdcard access in cwm.
I'm out of ideas at this point, any help is greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know where to find the original.mbr file for the fascinate?
