Hello. I tried to use Repartition in Rom Manager and my phone stuck in Vibrant Screen. So I used Odin and check Repartition there nothing was happening for 10 minutes, I decided to unplug and just reload stock rom. I did that without any problems. Phone started to boot up but after Galaxy log it stuck in black screen. I am hopping that I didn't bricked my phone. Can anybody help me solve this problem?
What files are you using in Odin? If trying to flash 2.2 then try Eugenes jk2 for Odin if 2.1 jfd both in the bible/directory. Make sure you're using the 512 pit file also when repartitioning.

I tried Eugene Froyo that Doesn't Brick and official JFD and it getting stuck in cache for a while then screen goes black
Are you also using the 512 pit file? Go here http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/ and follow instructions. As long as you are getting something from the phone then you should be ok I think you are just missing a step. And so you know I found this through the Vibrant directory and it has all the files you need including the Samsung drivers for your PC if you don't have them installed. Good Luck

I was flashing from the new Bionix release to Eugene's new one. Something went wrong so I followed the directions saying to flash Eugene's Froyo ROM and then flash back to stock.
Problem is that I odin got stuck when flashing either Eugene's or stock ROM.
Am I missing something? I'm still able to get into download but odin can't seem to fix it???
Make sure u restart odin everytime u put a new tar in there or just restart odin everytime

Ok so I was in the process of trying to install CM7 from Superclean 2.9.2 and tried installing CM7 through CWM (red). Didn't work...so I tried installing the fixes for the recoveries in case it didn't work via Odin...
My phone stayed in the boot animation screen the whole way rebooting into the same animation...
So i flashed dl01 all in one to get it to stock...tried reading up and saw that I was supposed to re-partition with atlas v2.2.pit through odin in conjunction with a full stock app...
everytime I flash something with atlas 2.2 ...it always ends up booting into blue recovery with no way to boot into phone. I've tried the Stock DL09 and I've tried it with the dl01 all in one package...no cigar...
At one point I thought it worked and I saw the boot animation with the cyanogenmod logo...but it errored and kept booting into error in which I could only catch a glimpse of the words...some include "mount"
How can I fix this and be able to install Cyanogenmod 7? Please include step by step...I am aware that it is noob to ask such things, but I've tried searching and came up with solutions that didn't work for me.
Thank You
Did you have "re-partition" checked in Odin when using Atlas? Also, double check the MD5 on the .pit in case the download was corrupted.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Reflash that .pit file with a froyo odin file. EB01 or ED01 will work. Then boot up fully. Then flash the dl09 odin file by itself, no .pit then boot OTA and profit.........
Just a heads up. Dont flash a froyo .pit file with an eclair .tar file. Youll boot into recovery evertime.
Just do what I said and youll be good.
check the repartition box and odin the atlas file first(wait for "pass"message)
reset odin
put phone in download mode again
odin dlo9 or eb01 package (no repartition)
Quick caveat on going OTA from DL09: VZW's updates now skip ED01 entirely and go direct to ED04. Keep this in mind if you prefer ED01

That is true. But you prob want ec09 radio anyway. Best ive used...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
no ec09 radio for me anymore. I was running cm7 and decided to install ec09. Stuff started disappearing from my sd card (I mean like entire huge folders). I'm sticking with the EDs
Just re-read OP and noticed you asked for step-by-step. There are a few guides out there, but this one by kidserious is the most up-to-date one I've found and it has yet to give me a single issue: Hope this helps!
EDIT: When using the aforementioned guide, I have always used the DL09 .tar and cannot speak for the EB01 .tar. YMMV
I have been messing with my phone alot lately and have had a bunch of issues(not booting, boot loop, different colore recoveries). So I put together a little folder for myself that gets me back to ED01 TW Debloated and OTB 1.6 kernel. If you would like me to post it or send you the folder with everything you need I can. at work now so it wouldnt be till later tonight
So I've tried starting off with kidserious's way of returning to stock...and it seemed to have worked for me because I was able to see the logo with no problem booting into recovery (red).
But when I tried installing CM7 Test Build 10 via CWM, and it didn't work...it went into repeat boot (blue) and before it started doing that after I saw "Installation aborted"
I'm actually now at a stump of how to install CM7 now...
If your using the DI01 file in ODIN you dont need to have the .pit file. Its a full stock ODIN it already has it. If you flash that to eclair your fine.

I apologize, but I'm confused by this. It's my understanding that the .pit is necessary if you're coming from a Voodoo setup. Are you saying that the DL01 .tar reverts the file system to stock on its own? Not challenging you, per se, just making sure I understand properly.

You've got it right, thats the whole reason for using the atlas and repartition checked, it's to format everything back to rfs(non voodoo) from ext4.( voodoo) or in this case mtd
This it's especially important when coming from an mtd build..ie. Cm7 and going back to an old rfs or ext4 rom. I'm no dev, just a flash a holic but I think of it like this, voodoo is just a lag fix modification of our original rfs(non voodoo) format, while mtd is a completely different format so we no longer have the luxury of a recovery that supports this ability to enable and disable our lag fix (voodoo)...which your new mtd format doesn't support. I don't even think it is possible to make a recovery that will repartition your system in preparation to flash any rom format you want
Again I am no dev and this is how I think of it to make sure I take the appropriate steps...it's just my way of remembering what to do when flashing
This is why every time you want to go back from an mtd build you must repartition with the atlas 2.2 to re format your previous mtd format back to the original rfs
Everyone I've helped with issues going from mtd to rfs/ext4 or vice versa I always suggest
rfs (non voodoo)--->mtd
Odin the 3-30 fix all recovery...immediately boot to cwr
wipe everything and flash newest cm7...(I used the 7/4 build but I see it's no longer available but the newest one works too) and reboot
power button menu to recovery...flash gapps/mtd kernels/misc.zip files you may also have with out wiping and reboot.
odin desired radio...reboot.. done.
Mtd---> rfs/ext4
Odin vzw eb01 with atlas 2.2pit and repartition checked
Fully reboot...then pull batt.
Odin desired recovery..(I still use 3-30 fix all cwr).....immediately three finger boot to cwr wipe everything and flash new rom/kernel (voodoo our non voodoo)...reboot
Hasnt done me wrong yet...no fc...no boot loops just flash a holic goodness!

go to this thread, read about the files you need, flash back to stock. here
Then root, install CWR, follow part of odin heimdall guide on how to keep root on ed builds, then get jt's Cyanogen MTD, supposed to have install issues fixed. here
Hope this gets you what you are looking for.

Please help! I have tried this numerous times, and my phone just keeps booting into stock recovery. It won't let me get past it.
I originally tried the .pit file with dl09 (mistake - I know), and it started the recovery mess. Then I downloaded the "stock" rooted eb01 file (EB01_DXC.tar.md5), and flashed it with the .pit file (atlas v2.2) and re-partition checked.
I have no other clue what's going on. I was just trying to wipe completely fresh to be able to load the CM7 Espresso on my phone. I've been running old CM7's for a while with the glitch kernels.
Help, please - I've been without a phone for the past 2 days. A huge thanks to anyone that can help me out!
I only use the DL01 or the ED05 stock packages. I think you should try those. I restored my phone when I was running SuperClean w/Voodoo with the DL01 package, no pit file.
Here is a link to ED05

I'm scared that I've already messed something up by using the pit file, because I actually had the full dl01 file, and nothing. Not really sure what would be different about the ed05 file. I mean, I'm gonna try it, but does any one else have a suggestion? Thanks.

a pit file is a pit file, they are no different for eclair or froyo from my understanding. I have no problems odin dl09 w/ pit...I actually got that tip from the stickies on the galaxy s forums.
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/fascinate-rs-guides/2911-how-upgrade-cyanogenmod7.html
as you can see by reading the link alot, there are alot of different guides out there with different methods and I have tried them all... Thats why I created my own guide with pieces from all the other guides that I felt worked the best. My best advice to you is spend alot of time doing research and form your own opinion on what works best. DO NOT take one posters advice as it being the correct way because there is alot of misinformation on teh internet!!
I have tmobile's vibrant t959 and I had Nero w/voodoo on there and all I did was odin back to stock because I wanted to get ICS on the phone. well I knew I had a problem before I had dropped my phone and the service cut out it doesnt do anything since then but bootloop unless I have a ROM on there then it works PERFECTLY fine, So I assume it's an internal issue? Well I had used odin to go back to stock and the terrible bootloop started again. I tried to install a new rom after i installed the update.zip file but it WILL not go into clockwork recovery. The other day when I put Nero on there I didn't need rom manager or ANYTHING it was completely stock and all I did was do update.zip through install packages and then it brought me right to the Clockwork screen. Now after I hit install packages it just reboots to the loading screen and starts up the phone..then bootloops. I'm not too sure what to do I've installed every odin 1.7 1.3 everything every single JDF and pit file I can possibly find nothing works. I can't get into clockwork even though I have superuser and all that can anyone PLEASE give me some kind of advice? I just can't figure out how i got it to work the other day.. but I know it will work. Also I did put some kind of....clockwork thing through odin? brought me to a red clockwork but when I go to install the rom it doesn't so my SD Card just my internal phone one and I even tried putting the rom on there but it doesnt show up...Mind you I can't keep the phone on for very long before it restarts...maybe if i'm lucky i can put osmething on the SD card...I also have been using my other phone to put things onthe SD card then put the SD card back into my vibrant..please someone help I want to let my boyfriend use the phone.. I'm starting to feel like I should have just left Nero on there and never tried to put ICS on there...

You have to root it after you used Odin. You can't flash custom roms without that and custom recovery. Follow the sticky guides.

I am completely and fully aware that I have to root after i use odin......LOL i've been rooting and using roms for the last two years I just am currently having this problem...yeah it was a md5 tar and the pit and then the jfd tar. i dont know where i found it but now i cant apply roms. I dont know if i odin back with just the pit and jfd tar then i get a bootloop....and i know what i'm suppose to be using. i do understand how to do it that's not the problem at all so no I don't need to follow the stickys.. it's the fact that when I do it RIGHT i get the bootloop.

Try this, and please do it even if you already have.
Delete any update.zip you have on your sdcard and put this one on your internal sdcard. http://db.tt/5FWb4wT8
Odin jfd w/ repartition clicked (must be jfd, not ji4/5/6 or anything else).
No, boot into recovery, select "real install packages". And then the phone will reboot back to recovery. Select it again.
Now you *should* be able to install the rom you want, assuming you have a vibrant 3g (t959) and not a galaxy s 4g (t959v) or a t959d.
Also, what's the error number you are given when the flash fails?

Alright thank you i'm trying all this now and I'll let you know what happens. I'm just a little nervous because whenever i odin back to stock without doing it the other way I get the bootloop from hell. hopefully it doesn't happen.... The error that appears is error in sd/romname installation aborted. that's all it says.
Alright well I did odin, the same way I always do it. This time without the tar.md5 file just the regular JFD. This is such a pain in the butt with no service connection...even through wifi I cannot use the market so anything i need i have to download the APK until I get this rom working. -.- OH BAM! ur update.zip worked! butttt roms still are aborted and i'm back into a bootloop.
wait a minute...can I not go directly to ICS or any other rom if i'm coming from stock?...I barely remember not being able to do that....okay so i tried putting cm7 on there and same thing... installing:sdcard:update-cm-7ect.zip finding update package opening update package installing update checking state of BMLMTD assert failed:run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0 e?:error in sdcard/update-cm-7.1.01-vibrant-sig-ned. (1).zip status 7 installation aborted.......wtf D: i am about to give up... i dont know how I had nero w/voodoo on here... i know i odin back to stock then through clockwork installed the zip.. i tried to get nero back but the website is gone and no other downloads for nero are anywhere...
I Used two have two fascinates and flashed them alot.
Sold them and got a new phone.
Decided to buy a fascinate missed it so I got one on ebay and it will not boot past samsung logo.
I odined ed05 with atlas pit flash went perfect.
Tryed to boot it and still only boots to samsung screen
Does any one have any Ideas of why it will not boot thanks in advance
Try to Odin the pit and tar as well and did you make sure you had repartition checked as well l? If you dont have these both go to droidstyles guide and get them. It sounds like you didn't have repartition checked though.

No I did have repartition checked
No errors in odin
Tried hemdall and it locked up when doing cache tried several times
Thanks
I think it is a hardware problem it will not boot in to factory recovery or if I flash cwm it will not boot that
always goes to the samsung logo and that is it
Why not download the eh03 stock pit and tar packages and flash those. Could have bad downloads maybe. Always hard when we are not there. Can you flash a recovery also. If you can maybe you can adb into recovery and flash a rooted from at that point.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I have flashed them also do not get any error in odin
seems like all flashes flash correct in odin
I have all the files on my computer from when I had my other fascinate and they have all been tested and worked on my other fascinates
I have all roms and leaks
not sure how to do the adb
Same Problem
My rooted Fascinate was going super slow even with setcpu. And it was freezing a lot. I'm going to try a couple things and I will post if they work. Maybe my processor is fried... Who knows
Can you three-finger into recovery.
same problem
Same issue, I can boot into CWM but wont go past the samsung screen if I don't.
Try flashing a ROM in CWM.
did you ever solve your issue cause i have been trying to solve this for the longest
First thing I did to my phone was install stock rom using the AIO Vibrant Toolbox. I flashed it successfully using Odin. But then my phone just get stuck in a bootloop upon rebooting.
I've tried using Odin 1.3 to flash the 512 pit file and Eugene's froyo that can't brick tar... stuck in bootloop.
then I tried 512 with T959UVJFD. still stuck in bootloop.
then I tried 512 with t959UVJI6. still stuck in bootloop.
I've flashed over 30 times today with different configurations of 512 + whatever tars... nothing has worked. I've spent almost 12 hours trying to fix my phone lol... I have like 50 tabs open in my browser. hahahha
I can get to in Download mode easily, so it's probably not bricked. But I can't get in to Recovery mode.
What should/can I do now?
What if you try one of Fishman roms? You have odin images and i know it's not stock but give it a try

try Heimdall @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
The only time Ive seen a bootloop out of odin is with a Vibrant 4g, odin will almost always fail you before rebooting into a bootloop.

Try one of the FIshman Odin files with Odin 1.7 if you haven't already. Hopefully you have the Vibrant phone not some variation right?
does odin say successful when its done?
tried heimdall. successfully flashed it. still stuck in boot loop. then I tied to heimdall again, but with boot loaders too.
now I'm pretty sure it's hard bricked lol... ****. phone is complete off. won't even turn on anymore.

Dang bro sorry man. It was just a recommendation since I have seen some people benefit from it. Did you flash using the step by step instructions? I know there is a mod you can perform called unbrickable ... it let's your flash your phone even after hard bricking ...
