Hello everyone. Forgive me if this is in the wrong section, but this is my first time posting. I tried to apply the Voodoo Lag Fix, and I got up to the point where the voice told me that the conversion was successful, but it was stuck at the Vibrant screen for a really long time, so I pulled the battery and tried to run it again. Now it's been stuck at the Vibrant Screen for a really long time now. Should I Odin back to stock or should I continue to wait to see if it resolves itself?
Thanks!
You're absolutely right. This should be in q and a.
What exactly is a really long time? Because like 5 minutes is normal after applying voodoo. But anyways you soft bricked it.
This happens to a lot of people by the way and you do need to use odin.
Download eugene373's froyo that doesnt brick. In odin click the repartition box and set it up and flash that.
Once done uncheck repartition in odin and set it up to flash the original jfd rom (not the ji6)
If you need instructions on how to set up and use odin search in the bible sticky thread. There are tutorials there.
And next time search is your friend. This has been answered hundreds of times.
Good luck.

Bob u might try wiping user data in samsung recovery. That seemed to do the trick for me when I had the same problem.
Good luck!

I did what you suggested, and when I rebooted the phone, it told me that the conversion was successful, then proceeded to be stuck on the vibrant screen forever again. Looks like I'll be Odining this...
Odin to Eugenes froyo will fix you. Then reinstall your ROM. Voodoo will take a LONG time to install just wait it out.

one question on jk6
Ok, I admit it took me a couple of flashes to figure out (something I already knew!) about voodoo and flashing over. I then started all over with jfd and ji6. But when I get to the jk6, I cann't seem to get lagfix to work and loose swype. Go figure that OCLF and Z4 go AWOL from Market in the middle of my flashing too.
OK, here's my one (loaded/baited) question:
When I flash JK6, is it possible to get SU root (from computer removal of blootware & disable Ads) and lagfix for performance while keeping sywpe??
Okay.....Here's the situation: I have the Samsung Vibrant and wanted the new 2.2, so I tried doing it myself and just couldn't get it to work. So a guy I know came to the house and did it for me. He used something he was familiar with that he got from here. The phone works fine for the most part. I tried downloading and using GPSRestore from Samsung. When I ran the app it said it couldn't because I had a GT-I9000. How can I get the phone to show what it really is? Some information about the phone: Simply Galaxy 2.7.2 SweetHoney.zsjpj - Kernel ver.: 2.6.32.9 Overstock - v1.5.1 #1 - Firmware ver.: 2.2.1
I'd like to use the app from Samsung and other app's but I am wondering if this will happen again.
Well, that is because you have 2.2.1 which is a GT-I9000 build. To fix this go into root explorer, mount system as r/w, go into build.prop as the text editor and change everything that says GT-I9000 into SGH-T959. Hope that helps!
I'm going to print this out and give it a try right now. I'll be back shortly(if I dont screw it up) and let you know what happened. Thank.
I have a similar situation. I have a i9000 boot animation i would like to get rid of any ideas????
I just did it...it works...but u must reboot for the changes to take effect...
simply galaxy 2.8 vibrant

you probably flashed the GB bootloaders
^^AGREED^^
I9000 bootanimation is a known issue/non-issue after ODIN while using GB bootloaders. It is addressed in the OP of the GB bootloader thread.

WOOT! +1 on "Root Explorer" that shiznit is tha bomb diggity!!
Good luck!
Well, I tried changing all of the GT-I9000's to SGH-T959 and after I did that I rebooted the phone. When the phone started up it started to vibrate every 3 seconds, would barely respond from the touch screen and would not accept anything from the keyboard.
At this point I thought I had ruined the phone because I couldn't get it back to the original settings. I finally got the keyboard to work by changing to a different one and got the original settings back. Where did I go wrong?

jfd odin file - for use after installing gingerbread bootloaders

if you have gingerbread bootloaders installed and you end up odining to stock (jfd), you will notice it changes the bootsplash to i9000. You can either reflash a gb bootloader again, or simply use the odin package above to do so.

Thats all. Good luck!
I am having the same issue... i am not seeing a build.prop file I am running Malice_v4x_72011_EDT with GB boot loaders...
EDIT: NM I found it
yeah
I did something of the same thing....but it froze midway thru....totally freaked me out. Took me about 15minutes to try and figure out how to reboot the phone into recovery because it kept asking me to select with the OK key....and I dont have an ok key!! Once I finally got it to boot up, it would flash the GT-I9000 logo during bootup, THEN the Vibrant logo. I flashed it back to stock via Odin again and it finally went away. Dunno WHAT I did, but it was scary!
Well, I have given up on the whole thing. I have tried twice with the same results. I'm just going to live with and expect to not be able to run apps for the Vibrant. Thanks for everyones help.

theres a gps fix i think in sgstools, could try that ??
I was able to get the build.prop thing to work, but when all was said and done the swpe keyboard no longer responded... had to navigate through the market to find the basic gingerbread keyboard... all is well now...
as for the gps fix
i was able to get the one in sgstools to "run" (before i fixed the gt-i9000 thing), but i am running a GB rom, so it still doesn't work as well as it did with froyo...
Shouldnt matter if your phone is a GT-I9000
Its still a Galaxy S
And if it says GT-I9000, its because the ROM uses a GT-I9000 Kernel or its listed as such in the Build.prop.
Most Froyo ROMs dont even need the GPS restore because the GPS is pretty damn good on them all.
Try A Toxic or an EDT ROM

Okay folks, thanks to the great posts on here, I tried one last time and it worked. I changed the keyboard first and then used sgstools which has a .prop editor in it. I rebooted and it works great now. Just have to get used to the GB keyboard now. Thanks again all.
You don't HAVE to get used to the Gingerbread Keyboard. Tons of after-market keyboards out there. I'd suggest Swype or Swiftkey X, but there are many more.
I was using the Swype and I think that was what was causing the problems I experienced. Since I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard it has been smooth sailing.
Hi guys. I rarely come for help here but well...here I am.
Alright, the problem is a friend of mine did a factory reset(I think) to his while running a custom rom with lagfix. Now the phone got stuck at the vibrant logo. I got the phone, started odin, and tried to flash it back to stock(Froyo) but still have the same problem. If I'm not mistaken, He was running a gingerbread ROM. Is the problem the bootloader?
Here's the screens I'm getting:
After flashing with ODIN, notice it says "failed" on some of the lines on the recovery:

Also fails on the data wipe:

Tried flashing back to stock JFD (2.1)? That usually fixes anything for me... I don't think GB bootloaders would do that?
Locate my GingerZen thread in the Development section, in the second post, follow the FTDNB steps I posted, and breathe some life back into that thing.

ALright guys thanks! Will try this when I get some time next week. Will let you know if it revived!
I'll release a heimdall-one click for Vibrant soon enough. This will totally reset your device. Wait until tonight, I'll likely have it online.
Perfect! thanks man!
You would think the .pit and .tar flash in ODIN would fix the problem. Of course you'd lose all memory in the phone and external SD card.
Those guys are smarter anyways

I assume thet the phone is rooted. You should flash a 2.2 Rom from the vibrant forum first. Bionix, Trigger etc. Once you flash a 2.2 froyo rom, it should be smooth. I like Zendroid located here

If you can get into CWM you should be golden ..good luck
Haha Lapdog hit the Thanks instead of the Quote.
Ok then. Here us what you can do. Hit my signature and download CWR. Open the folder and put the Update.zip on her internal SD. Go here and download this ROM (Derange9). Put it on her internal SDcard.
Boot into recovery (either volume up AND down and power OR volume up + power [depending on whatever bootloader you have]). It will show up Blue.
Tab down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. It will cycle through and come back to the blue screen. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will go from blue (stock) to green (CWR).
Scroll down to Wipe cache, factory reset/data and advanced->wipe Dalvik. Then scroll to Install from SD and find the above ROM and flash it.
Once done Reboot and profit, you are on Deranged9. If you want to flash a different ROM, just replace D9 with whatever one you want. After it boots up and she is no longer pissed at you, you should get some kisses. Tell er' Wood sent you.
really she wants it to just be stock , it was ten times smoother when i got it then after i tried to put the lockscreens on it , is there any way i can get rid of the 2 bootloaders and just have one and have it be all stock
Try Odin if u want it back dtock

If you just want to Odin to the latest stock, it appears to be KB5:

That doesnt solve my dual bootloader problem though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't know what you mean by dual bootloader. You might want to Odin back to the froyo bootloader before installing a stock rom.
i mean when it first turns on you see it go through 2 bootloaders the froyo one and the gingerbread one First is Galaxy S i9000 logo , then Vibrant logo, finally is T-mobile bootscreen.
i would like to get it back to how it was where it only says the vibrant logo when loading then i would like to odin it to the most rexent stock version
like if i hook it up to samsung kies for vibrant that will fix it right ?
At least two of the recent hard-brickings I've read about recently have involved Kies. I wouldn't touch it. Odin or Heimdall for me.
Info about kb5:
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=t959uvkb5
I'm a little concerned about your initial "i9000". If there is any possibility you changed the SBL, you might want to Odin back to a stock Froyo SBL before loading kb5. Do it in the same session: uncheck "reboot" in Odin before loading the SBL, then after it loads, load kb5. Probably the initial "i9000" just means you somehow got an i9000 kernel.
I think you need to go back to odin3 flash the stock jfd to stock then go in phone dailer press *2767*3855# to format the system to wipe out the old folder then go back to odin3 again and flash the VIBRANT STOCK (FROYO) BOOTLOADER. I hope that help. I did have 2 bootloader like seeing i9000 and the Vibrant logo before

Use the AIO Vibrant toolbox 2.5

Kies won't fix anything. If you don't have much experience, use Heimdall One-Click. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683
It will flash the stock bootloaders and the stock Vibrant ROM. It will be back to the way it was when you (or she) first got it.
Note: It won't let you flash bootloaders until you've flashed it once, so just reflash it with bootloaders checked. If it fails, just keep doing it. It will flash it eventually. I used this when I bricked my Vibrant.
