OK So i rooted the vibrant with one click root...and su installed beautiful....decide to go with pepperkakes rom...got clockwork to work fine....made a nandroid back up of stock with no problem...loaded pepperkakes rom and decided not to keep and restore stock....restored complete but when i reboot the phone it stays stuck at samsung vibrant screen
Sounds like the ROM installed a different kernel than what your stock backup is. Odin back to stock and you'll be fine.
Or just flash a 2.1 kernel

belongs in q&a but what way of going back to stock did you use? nandroid? if so it wont help because it doesnt back up kernels. you will have to odin back to stock! or download a stock rom and push it to your sdcard and then flash that but its best if you made odin your friend!
Nandroid does not replace the kernel. The stock rom is incompatible with a 2.2 kernel. Odin back to stock and you'll be fine.

You just got that phone huh, odin is a program for your computer. Search for it from your home computer not sure where I got mine, but it came in a .zip file with the drivers for my computer to recognize my phone, odin program, the files I needed to get the phone back to stock. And instructions how to place the phone into download mode good luck.

Ok so I'm running leaked Froyo Rom right now. Flashed it using Odin but having internal SD card issues! Wont let me transfer anything. So I want to go back to 2.1 Out of the box vibrant stock.and flash using Odin. And start over again that way. Question is where can I find the Rom Tar. File at? And will it use e2 Recovery or e3 Recovery like my current Froyo Rom. Want to be able to flash the mountingfix.zip file once I get back to a Froyo Rom and use Rom Manager. To flash the fix. I'm sorry to ask so many questions.just need help fixing my cell phone.thanks a million.

Im not sure if im soft bricked or what. tried to flash back to stock tmo vibrant from nero v3 with voodoo with odin but i forgot to turn voodoo off. now it boots into cwr with voodoo. says voodoo is off but no voice to say its deactivating. I can still get into download mode. not sure what to do. please help the stupid noob lol
Were you trying to flash back to true stock 2.1? If so you'll have to flash a 2.1 kernel. If you didn't disable voodoo you'll have to use Odin. Look in the directory (bible), first post in the development section. There are noob friendly guides to help you out.

I must have missed it. Was flashing the wrong pda file with odin. Got it now. Thanks for the help.

Flash back to stock is what you will need to do. Look in the bible. To be safe, you may need to flash back to Eugenes' froyo that doesn't brick 1st, then flash back to stock. This rom can be found on his site eb-productions.com
There is an "All in one" zip that has the: stock rom, .pit, the computer driver (from samsung) and odin all zipped up together. Find that and then the froyo that doesn't brick and you will have a complete repair package.
It's not hard and this is faster than f-ing around trying some "maybe this will work" scenario..........
awesome!! back on stock 2.1-update 1 thanks again guys. will be more careful next time!
I need help! I was putting an gingerbread rom on my phone made by simply honey and it didn't work. It. went though the flash process like normal, but when it was time to reboot, it would only do the samsung vibrant download then it would say not enough space on partishoner then cut off and does the samething again. It won't let me reboot back into clockwork mod screen.
Can someone help me????
Get a stock voodoo kernel by supercurio for Odin and flash that. The use three buttons to recovery and try again or restore a backup or flash a Froyo rom.

fixed nevermind, but i do have a question... I downloaded clockwork rom manager, but when selecting my phone I get 2 nexus's and i9000 mtd and i 9000? no vibrant??
anybody? i dont know if i should flash i9000?
nevermind, ill go somewhere else.
When using a ported rom, Rom Manager doesn't recognize the phone as a vibrant so it doesn't give you the option for the vibrant recovery. You can use the following link to download the update.zip to flash the vibrant cwm recovery.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/update.zip/download
Just put on the root of your sd card, go to recovery you have and go to reinstall packages. It might not work right with a ported rom though. You may have to Odin back to stock and flash a froyo rom, in which case you would have the option in Rom Manager for the Vibrant recovery.

When you turn on the splash screen is probably saying G 9000 or one of those varieties so usually it would be the 9000 mtd
There are a couple variants with cm7 and miui you will on those get the vibrant or 9000 mtd and then it will ask in rom manager if you want 2mtd or 3mtd if I remember correctly in those cases refer back to the cm7 or miui forum somewhere in there it tells you which is preferred, OR just click the 3mtd and if doesn't work then reboot and try the other it won't hurt the phone.
I just flashed a rom for another phone and now im stuck a the samsun vibrant logo. is there a way for me to go back to stock rom? or a way to undo the flash?

Problem solved through the power of odin
ODIN saves all. If you get flash happy, I would suggest keeping a JIG handy too.
