My friend tried to install something on his own and it went really ugly. His phone is stuck on Samsung screen and it's not doing anything. I'm trying to help him recover his phone using odin. His phone already has CWM recovery flashed but no nandroid(<~what an idiot!). I made sure all files on the picture are odin flashable.

1. Download mode to odin flash these files
PDA_JI6modem<~no pit file required, (stock kernel, T959UVJI6)<~ with pit file.
2. Manually open recovery, and I'm assuming it's going to be purple for factory recovery
-> push wipe data / factory reset.
Am I doing this correctly?
For fascinate, there was a odin flashable stock recovery tar file. Where is one for vibrant? Does vibrant require this?
Well......anyone?
There is a thread in the android development section that had the original JFD PDA file and pit file that will restore the phone back to stock. I had the same exact problem and using those files and following the directions I was back in working order in 10-15 minutes. Look in the Vibrant reference bible thread and if I remember correctly the thread was started by justanothercrowd. I hope that helps, good luck!

Phone had stock ED05 from an OTA update.
Here's what happened:
I wanted to root the phone so I Heimdalled CWM recovery. Forgot to load su, and new kernel to SD card so I lost CWM on reboot.
Copied su to SD card and re-Heimdalled CWM recovery and successfully flashed su. Realized that I did not have a new kernel and ROM that I wanted to flash on SD card. Lost CWM on re-boot.
Copied all the files that I wanted to flas to the SD card and this is where the problems begin. Flashing recovery failed in both Heimdall and Odin. Tried Odin and Heimdall to load full DL09 and ED05, but both failed. Tried Heimdall in both Linux and WinXP too.
When power is applied to the phone all I get is the screen in the attached photo.
Anyone know how I can fix this phone?
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

To answer your post...no your phone is not trashed but what do you ultimately want to do with it? Have ed05 with root? We need to know what your trying to accomplish to give you proper instructiona on what do

I don't know what version of odin you're using but I use 1.7..anyways, pull your battery...hold the down volume button and plug your stock samsung cable into your pc...you should enter download mode (a little construction android with a big yellow triangle) flash in the
PDA only section
Heres a link with better detailed instructions

Not sure why this worked, but this is how I fixed the phone.
From a Windows 7 machine I Odined (V.1.83) the ED05 package that pentafive posted in this thread: [ROM][ODIN][FACTORY][ED05] VzW full factory froyo restore with radio and kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178544)
The trick was using a Windows 7 machine. Heimdall of the same package from Linux (Fedora 14) failed. Odin and Heimdall of the same package from an XP machine also failed.
After I Odined the stock system and CWM, I flashed the Powerwashed ROM. Phone and owner (my mom) are now happy.
The strange thing is that I have successfully rooted, CWM, and ROMed, 4 or 5 other phones from my Fedora box with no problems. Actually, I have Heimdalled packages to my phone at least a dozen times with no problem. My mom's phone is the only one to give me this much trouble.
Just realized that on my Linux/XP machine I used a USB extension cable while on the Windows 7 machine I plugged the stock cable directly I into the computers USB port. That may have been part of the problem, but it is curious that only 1 of about 5 phones was failed to work properly.
Since the problem phone is a 2.5 hour drive away I won't get a chance to test this theory out any time in the near future.
Has anyone ever actually seen a completely bricked Fascinate?
Hi every one.
I own a Samsung Vibrant, and I am trying to install the last CM7 on it, but I keep getting this annoying messege (E:error in sdcard/dcim/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-vibant-signed.zip) (status 7) installation aborted!
I kept searching in the forum , and I think I know the problem, my device is vibrant put when I start it it shows GT-I9000
after further searching, I found this post,
By atinm
Make sure whatever you flash has the name "Vibrant" in the file name, status 7 usually means you're trying to flash some other device's file onto the Vibrant. Or you have your properties set incorrectly (which happened if you flashed bilboa1's broken kernel - I think he might had a fix for this if that is the case with you).

I could not find the fix he spoke about.......so what can I do?
thanks in advance
Try Odin back to jfd and then install. Also 7.1 rc1 is pretty old. You should pick up one of the nightlies to get a more up-to-date CM7.

Thanx geoffcorey
this worked perfectly......I will mention the steps just in case someone needed.
1- I downloaded the following files:
T959UVJFD.tar from http://android.azizus.info/vibrant/T959UVJFD.tar
Odin from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
512 pit file from http://www.4shared.com/get/tOVvEDQr/s1_odin_20100512.html
the latest cyanogen.....check cyanogen website under (devices)
*put the cyanogen file on the root of the SD card
2- I followed the instructions in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
so now I have a stock Vibrant.......Time to root
3- root using this thread (follow the video exactly!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
now we have a rooted, stock ROM vibrant. lets go cyanogen.
4-download the latest clockwork rom manager from the market (use the markt enabler if it is not shown in your country, like me)
5-press on the first option (flash clockwork mod recovery) and choose vibrant
then press on reboot into recovery.
*if it did not reboot into clockmod recovery and booted in android recovery (blue font screen)

just click on the second choice (apply sdcard update.zip ) then repeat step no.5 so you will get clockmod recovery menu
6-then just coose wipedata, then wipe catch
then install zip from sdcard, choose zip from SD card, choose the cyanogen
zip file you put in the sd root, and there you have it!
thanks for all the help I got from this great forum, I wish this helps any one in need.

what I need is to make a root + CF root + also I need zImage to remove the yellow triangle.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks a lot.
Flash CF-Root of choice (from your firmware info) > flash stock kernel (to get rid of the yellow triangle) > then extract the CF-Root you flashed earlier (it should be extracted to a zImage) and open the cwm manager and select flash kernel then choose the zImage file..
Edit: dial *#1234# to know your phone info..

You need to flash KH1.zip to root. If you extract the .zip then you will get .tar file, which you should flash in Odin under PDA option. If you extract that .tar further then you will get the a zImage, which you need to flash via CWM which is already installed on your device with the option Flash Kernel.

Don't forget to Flash the Stock kernel before flashing the zImage. You will get it from Intratech's thread in Dev section.
Also read the steps carefully before starting the process, in that thread I've posted above.
thanks

you are sooo great.
Hi,
My sons Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 has decided to wipe its self. On startup it goes straight to ODIN3 Download mode (Protocol v2.1)
I have spent the entire day reading what to do and finally came up with the following:
1. Download Kies ( Which will not connect)
2. Download Odin3 v1.85
3. Download an md5 file ( of which I have tried many and none seem to work)
4. start Odin3 > click PDA and select the md5 file > connect the tab and turn it on (the tab tells me its connected and the 0:[com7] turns yellow) > click start.
it starts off promising by going green, but then it goes red and tells me write : failed.
I have tried a few PIT files just incase and some bootloader files also to without success.
Am I using the right files?
firstly what has my son done!!! and secondly how the hell do I sort this, I am starting to loose my patience.... bescause I have no idea.
Any help very much appreciated
Slavraf
Go to www.sammobile.com and download the proper stock ROM for your tab, extract the zip, then flash the .tar.md5 file inside. You should uninstall kies too if I'm not mistaken. And if your version of Odin doesn't work, try the one I'm using, v1.87. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dib0w993qc284ki/Odin3v1.87.zip?dl=0
Your son probably simple pressed the power and volume buttons and he unintentionally went into recovery mode and wiped the tab I guess, this is the only thing I can think of, tho I don't know how it can completely wipe the tab, its been a long time since I've went into the stock 3e recovery.

Unfortunately I get the same result..... write error.
Thanks for your suggestion though
Did you try using the Odin version I attached?
I have same problem now... Yesterday my tab crashed and I tried to reboot it but get a bootloop, recovery crashed also, tried to flash stock Rom and recovery through Odin but failed. Tablet showed few error lines, as you can see at picture. Would be very thankful if anyone could help.

I read a post that said this is efs factory problem. I have no network connection, no screen lock, wifi disconnected after rebooting. I know there is a way to fix by change something in /efs, but my problem is my device isn't rooted! I tried almost all methods to root this GT-I9300 like framaroot, one-click root, etc and I also tried to flash cwm through Odin
but always stuck on that step (even when tried to flashing stock ROM again)
there are no progress bar at all, even I waited for almost 20 minutes!
Can someone help me to fix this problem? Remember, my phone doesn't rooted, so please don't give me an advice that require device to be rooted. Thanks a lot
Flash cfautoroot via odin to root it. If it is completely stock just flash the latest firmware twice via odin (wipe data and cache after the first flash but before second flash.

I flashed cfautoroot with no luck. It's totally same like when I flash cwm or stock ROM, there is no progress bar at all for about 20 minutes!
I also tried many times to flash the stock ROM and for sure already wiped data from stock recovery.
anyone?
Your nand is what's known in the trade as "f**ked". If it attempts pit mapping from a stock rom you can assume it's dead.
You can try flashing a pit file but I highly doubt it'll do anything constructive.
On the bright side it probably wasn't your fault. I'd say the nand was borked and your attempts highlighted it.
