hey, actually i was flashing a rom nd it got stuck in boot menu, i powered if off nd than on.. it shows phone--!--Computer
well i tired ODIN, couple of times.... brought my vibrant to downloading mode, nd both time it got stuck at cache.rt. im not sure if there is any solution !
I searched whole xda forum abt it but cant find it?
help will be appreciated, helpp me.. i need my phone
( ohh im sorry i didnt post this one in Q nd A section ) pardon
thanku.
I was having this problem the other day when flashing Nero v1. Wanted to Odin back to stock before flashing it, and it stuck on cache.rfs no matter how many times I retried. Had the lovely phone ! computer icon and a phone that wouldn't boot.
Ended up fixing it by accidentally running Odin without any PIT or TAR file selected, and it cleared the error and caused the phone to boot back into Eclair. Flashed Nero on top of that and ended up getting... a really slow, messed up phone, so I flashed Bionix again and nandroided back to my backups.
Going to stay this way until I can figure out how to properly Odin without always getting stuck on cache.rfs! Anyone help us out? Flashing Nero on top of Bionix gets me a very unstable phone!

really why? I odin with the sim and sd card in always, I haven't had an issue.
Is pulling the sim and sd exclusive the above mentioned problem(i.e only when you see phone to computer)?
Odin can be tempramental at points and cunfuse external.sd with internal witch causes it to stop at the cache

This was happening to me when I was using odin 1.0 - switched to 1.3 and haven't had any problems since. So try using a different version of odin.

I did all that rooting crap. Now when I press the power putton, it flashes the "Samsung Vibrant" Image, then plays the tmobile tone, but no "S" image appears. And it stays black. How do I fix this?
define "all the rooting crap"? Did you flash a Voodoo Rom and try to flash something else on top of it?
There is NO way to tell you what you need to do unless you tell us what you did.
But based on what you have described.. Gonna say u are SOL.
Use odin to flash stock rom then start over. I have been stuck on that screen a couple times. Lol

Truth be told
Anthony is right. i had this issue earlier this week when trying to flash a mod to my phone. Odin is the only choice at this point.
This has happened to me twice, most recently after "fixing permissions" in the oclf market program. Both times I've rectified by booting into recovery and "reinstall packages". Both times I also removed sim and sd and after a couple repetitions of package reinstall it comes back to life. Maybe dumb luck, maybe not, worked twice...

Also...My Vibrant Wont Turn On
Dear All
I am new to this forum and need some assistance. I recently bought a T-Mobile Vibrant from a friend who had brought it with him for the US. I am using it in the Middle East where I live at the moment.
I have been reading a lot in the past few weeks about the Vibrant and almost everything there is to know. It seems there is always more to discover.
Back to the issue at hand. I had been having problems with getting my phone to reboot into recovery mode but I finally managed to do so last night. I wanted to flash my phone with Axura 2.1E, Nero V2 or the Macnut v14, so I can use the the Black Froyo theme on it.
First, I flashed the original firmware (T959...JDF) which I got off your site, using Odin v1.3. That worked as it should. Then I proceeded to follow instructions to download the ClockworkMod from this thread: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant (FINAL! SAFE!)
After I copied the CWM file to the Internal sd card, I downloaded Rom Manager, rooted the phone with Z4root, chose the Samsung Vibrant in Rom manager and clicked install ROM from sd card. it rebooted into recover mode (blue writting), I clicked 'reinstall packages', which it did and it rebooted into the ROM recovery mode (green writting). I chose the option to install zip file from sd card, then chose Axura 2.1E and it installed until it said complete.
So far everything was working as it should, or at least that was the impression I got. I am not sure of this next step. It said installation complete, so i chose 'go back', then 'reboot device'. When it went into reboot, nothing happened...just a black screen. It wont start, neither normally, not into any other mode (recovery or download). i plugged it into the charger and not even the battery icon would come up. i assume that it is...'dead' and I just did the impossible. I tried several ways and combinations to get it back to life somehow, but I have a feeling that's it.
Any suggestions, advice, remedies, whatever help...even condolences would be much appreciated..
Much appreciated and all the best to all.
Cheers
What the heck is up with all these HARD BRICKs?
Past few days, I keep reading people who have appeared to truely HARD BRICK their phone.
Meaning they can not get into download mode, they can not use odin, they are truely hard bricked.
What is up with the sudden surge of hard bricks.
This guy sounds like he did everything correct.
Scary.
Ya I've seen a lot of those also... could it be a newer version of the Vibrant? Yes he did everything correctly... he could try a jig.. its only maybe 10 bucks? worth a try at least...
My Vibrant wont turn on
Thanks guys for the reply to my post. I was thinking today that even though I did follow instructions correctly, that I might have missed a step at the end.
My thoughts went to the fact that after the installation of my chosen ROM (Axura 2.1E) was complete, I was given the choice of installing update.zip again, along with some other ones which I forgot what they were and the option to 'go back'. I went 'back' and pressed reboot device.
If the installation was fully complete, would not the phone go into automatic reboot?
Anyways seem like the boot is screwed and I am getting help from a friend to get it back to life again.
Anyone can confirm what to do after I install a 'ROM' successfully. Is there another step afterwards which I must be aware of to fully complete the flash?
Cheers again

Hey everyone...
I need help.. And its not my phone nor do i have it in my possession... Kinda troubleshooting over the phone... My nephew got a samsung vibrant... Got his phone rooted and had Darky's v7.7 Gingerbread Edition rom running... It booted up ran for a bit had a LOGSPROVIDER error stopped unexeptedly message....
He shut the phone off then rebooted and it wont boot past the first boot screen... HE also cant get into recovery but download mode works fine..
Possible solutions..?
Well if he can get into download mode the he should just odin back to stock and reinstall the rom!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thats what I was thinking... Im not familiar with samsung phones.. Whats the purpose of download mode?
Safety feature? I presume..
I find it odd though that it booted fine and was ok until he rebooted and it wouldnt load... Any specific reason that could happen
Nah if you read the disclaimers devs put up it clearly says "i am not responsible for bricking, etc."
So no, there should be no specific reason why your nephews phone won't boot, more unless he was running a lag fix and flashed the wrong zip or whatever then yeah...
But download mode is I guess a fail-safe for samsung if the phone bricks or anything, afterall the vibrant is nearly impossible to fully brick

Thank You for the help...
He opted to call tmo and there sending a replacement.. Then asked him if he bricked the phone... He played dumb.. and said he rebooted the phone and it wouldnt load...
And yes i know about the devs disclosure... Got myself a mytouch slide which just finally got s-off courtesy of ALPHAREV woohoo.. Also have a G1 from back when it first came out.. SO i got plenty of rom downloading under my belt

This same thing happened to me. I read about making a jig, yeah right. So I continued for the better part of three hours plugged into my computer with data cable continuing the same motion that I would to get into download mode. And finally I got the download dude. I used the s1.odin somthing .pit file I think it was the first .pit to come out. Not the 512.pit Along with the first .jar. Anyway keep trying to get into download mode even with a black screen, can be done.

I tried to Odin to stock T-Mo but I cant get passed the Galaxy S boot screen. It just goes black and if I touch the buttons they light up but phone stays black. I tried a number of times also clicked on repartition in Odin. Odin tells me everything passed but when the phones boots ROM Manager screen comes up goes through a check list with one line in red that reads "Data wipe Failed"
Can someone please help me out. Ran Odin many times but I cant get the phone to go back to full stock. I click repartition but it seems Odin does not wipe the internal SD. I am so vexed. Someone help
I have never partitioned. Or whatever. That can cause a soft brick.

I have before in it went well. The phone (my wifes) was bricked to begin with. It would not go past the white vibrant screen. So I Odined back to stock. It goes through the T Mo stick together screen then gets to the Galaxy S animation. But after the galaxy s logo he screen turns black and only if I touch the buttons to the buttons light up. I tried to reflash via Odin a number of times but I cant get the phone to fully boot.
What ROM you had before going back to stock?
Any lagfix? If yes disable it..

Okay it also accured to me to try Eugenes. So I did and it worked. But I can not install any programs. It tells me there is not enough space. Then when I look at settings/storage on the bottom it reads 0 space for apps.
Strange no? Any ideas
Thanks to everyone so far. I really appreciate it!
As I understand it as soon as you odin eugenes froyo you have to reset odin get the phone into dl mode again then use odin to put in the stock firmware

Jacs kernel always gave me bricks for some reason. Do what they said again. Flash to eugenes froyo that doesnt brick with repartition checked. Then RIGHT AWAY make sure you have the jfd rom for odin and flash that using odin with repartition unchecked. Dont try to flash a clockwork recovery rom from eugenes froyo that doesnt brick because you arent done fixing it at that point.

once this is fixed if you want voodoo, upgrade to a 2.2 rom and use supercurios own modified kernels. Never had a problem with them.

I cant get to the voodoo folder. I tried every firmware there is and only Eugenes froyo will fully boot. But I cant install any apps so I can get to me system folders so i can see whats going on.
Im so stressed and tired it aint funny.
When I flash a T Mo rom and the phone reboots and goes through a series of line checks (yellow text) I get red text that reads "data wipe failed". Then the phone boots, t mo jingle, then galaxy s screen, then black.
Anyone??? Devs? PLease?
Do you have root explorer?

Don't do this as this will wipe your backups and apps and all other data on your internal sd card. Use euguenes froyo that does not brick, then when you get stuck at the clockwork recovery screen using that (this is normal) odin back to stock using this:

I got my vibrant bricked yesterday while i was returning to stock rom and then upgrading it to Froyo through samsung kies mini. I tried all types of combinations of keys and ended up it failure. I cant get the mobile into download mode. Many say that with the help of USB jig i can unbrick it easily and get the download mode back.
I would like to know few opinion regarding this.

Yea i saw tat thread this was the problem i had when i tried to revert from a cm9 mod. Then i downloaded the stock eclair v2.1 rom and flashed it using odin. After that only i got the phone bricked where i upgraded to froyo using the samsung kies mini and when everything got upgraded the phone didnt reboot at all for about 1/2 hr. i tried all sort of things and nothing responded.
Yeah that's the thread I was talking about, I've had that problem and went through all that but not your issue. Sorry thought I could help.

Actually The Problem is.
We Updated the Device to CM7 and ICS and we messed up the Modem in it. SO we didnt get signal after the boot up and also by flashing a Modem.
Then what we did is, we used ODIN back to ECLAIR and it boot up fine and we got signal and everything was working fine like out of the box.
Then we used KIES MINI to update the software from ECLAIR TO FROYO officially.
Kies mini went fine in the Process and after it said Firmware update process completed we click finished and then nothing showed up on the device..
It shows blank screen all the time, key combination wont work and also it wont boot up.
Also we tried the download mode by pulling out the battery, still no sign of download mode yet..
Yea been searching in many forums and saw some useful posts regarding this brick.
There has been some problems with the update of froyo v2.2 that is released and many customers got the phone bricked during this update. This is the same thing that happened to me the other day..
