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!

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.

UPDATED: FOUND A FIX! IF THIS WONT WORK I HAVE ANOTHER METHOD BUT ITS QUITE RISKY.
Please rate my thread if it helped
{Disregard my posts asking for help}
This guide is exactly what I did and it was very successful. Please don't blame me if it doesn't work. Keep in mind I did attempt every other option I could think of and this worked. I am not at fault if something goes wrong.
Begin by flashing to stock 2.1 through ODIN and make sure you repartition. Root the stock ROM so you can flash. Then install the latest Froyo by eugene373(you can try a JI6 ROM if you prefer). Now make sure to use a one click root method to re-root (or method of choice).
Download ROM Manager then install clockwork and reboot into it. Do a simple reboot back into your phone from clockwork. Now reboot your phone normally from Froyo ROM. Yes, it is a lot of rebooting, I know!
From here on, the USB saying its on while not plugged in should be fixed - hopefully! The new ROM seems to fix it because the USB settings are a little different..
After is where I think solved the USB problem when the phone isnt booted. Ok, now this is easy. Get back into clockwork, do the following: "Advanced-> Wipe Battery Stats" choose Yes of course. Then just reboot while plugged into USB so phone starts.
It "SHOULD" be fixed at this point!
Unplug from USB and shutdown completely. Now try to start phone without getting the boot looping battery icon. Reboot again to assure this worked for you. If it boots, jump up and down and hope it never happens again. Pull battery a couple times if necessary. This may help if the above failed.
When all is fixed you can install any ROM you wish granted you flash a 2.1 kernel if your not installing another Froyo ROM. Please make sure you understand this.
I only wrote this to help those who have encountered this nasty issue. I really hope it works for you. It is really worth a shot!
If anything was misunderstood, feel free to ask and I will do what I can to help. Ill respond as soon as I get the time.
I think I will make the guide a new thread if its successful. I need feedback. I will also add all download links and fix it up.

Hi.. I have the same problem. Can you please tell me how you made the USB mode off when the phone is on?
I turned off USB debugging and changed the settings to "Ask on connection" then restart the phone when plugged into your computer.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I also have the same problem... For me going to "Ask on connection" also helped - but USB does not work at all, the connections sign disappears when I plug in USB.
Additionally, I (mostly) could not boot the phone without having USB plugged in.
Yea its horrible having to boot while charging.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Try either flashing a rom with the JI6 update built in or using odin to flash the JI6 update. I talked with tech support and they said the "fix" was supposed to come in the update but if you are like me you didn't get teh update because you are on a third party rom. I found bionix 1.9.1 had the JI6 update in it and flashed it on a list ditch effort before i crushed the phone in frustration and since then i have been free of the USB annoyance. If that doesn't work though, it is a "known defect" and TMO wil replace the phone. You can also just go that route too if you don't want to try flashing all the rom's.
In my case this issue appeared at first after updating... actually thus I am trying to get completely back to stock, trying to fix it that way.
Sending the phone to T-Mobile is difficult since I bought it used on Ebay, isn't it? Or is it realistic to get some help from them?

Hi,
Does the Eugene froyo have the JI6 update?
Thanks
B
It uses the JI6 modem but thats about it. You could flash it but in order to restore your JI6 ROM you must also reflash the 2.1 kernel. Read up on it. Its worth it to get rid of the USB problem. Perhaps you could flash Stock through ODIN then update back to JI6 through Kies Mini instead. That way I think would get you back to where you want to be without kernel issues? It may be worth a shot cause the USB problem makes the phone so horrible. Make sure to do a backup of everything you want with Titanium and save any files you want to external SD. Make sure you wipe everything if you do install Froyo cause that is how I did the process. I hope it works for you if you try. Post any questions...

Thanks for the advice!
I will flash the Bionix-Mod, that also has another kernel I think. Yeah and I gonna take care with Voodoo

so can you share with us now your vibrant running smothly, power on off without connect usb cable and charger ?
i've same problem, when i turn on phone not powering just show rounds (cercles) turn of (like blinking)
but when i connect usb cable phone show charging so now i press power button, phone turn on,
if i remove usb cable from phone, but when phone fully loaded on desktop show USB IS CONNECTED,
i've spend 3 days for searching solution of my problem but still not luck,
i've follow all your posted procedure, i've flashed successfully froyo also have install rom manager and clockwork but when i try to rebot my phone by rom manager its not work at all, just ask to me wana restart in recovery, but phone not restart, i think rom manager and clockwork not working on 2.2
please suggest me what is need to do next ?
NOTE: my vibrant is brand new just received before 5-6 days, i'm out side of usa that way not able to ask warranty or something
This guide worked perfectly for me. I tried it without partitioning in Odin first (just for a test) and it did not fix it. I then re-Odin'd the phone (following directions with a partition) and it has worked perfectly. I did not reflash a Froyo ROM, I just reflashed Bionox 1.9 and all is well.
Thanks for the fix
I'm glad I could help. And @Ja, are you making sure your rooted cause both ROM manager and clockwork works perfect on 2.2. You can try a JI6 ROM in place of froyo and see if it helps. And yes my Vibrant is as good as new.

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

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.

Installed the DoW kernel over Bionix-v and wound up in a boot loop, unable to get into recovery, but I was able to get into download mode. Tried using ODIN to flash back to stock, but it won't boot past the 1st Vibrant splash screen.
The ONLY rom I've been able to boot is Eugene's JK2+2e Froyo ROM, but it's not recognizing both the internal and external storage (shows unavailable). I'm assuming this is due to ODINing with voodoo enabled, so I tried flashing one of SuperCurio's voodoo kernels on top, but that seemed to have no effect.
I've tried using Eugene's Froyo that doesnt brick and then downgrading to stock JFD, but it still refuses to boot, same as if I negated the Froyo step. I'm fairly lost as to what my next step should be besides randomly changing settings, but I dont want to get to a state where I can't enter download mode.
ANY help anyone can provide would be amazing and greatly appreciated, and I can of course provide any additional information that would be helpful.

Would you recommend flashing Eugene's Froyo that does not brick first and then flashing stock on top? Or straight to flash? And should "re-partition" be checked at any point, since the ext4 system needs to be rebuilt to RFS.

+1. If your phone boots at all it's in my experience 100% recoverable. I own a RIFF box as well so if you brick it dead then I can still fix it... . I'll be getting a video up on ODIN usage for Vibrant/i9000 owners tomorrow. Check out my Boot Logo video on my website for a little bit of ODIN usage to give you an idea. You just need to open ODIN. The put the phone in download mode and plug in via USB. Then select your PIT and PDA file and click start. Then you can reflash stock firmware. PM me as I offer this as a service as well.
Thanks for the reply. Usage of ODIN is not my problem, the problem is that flashing to JFD (whether I use Eugene's Froyo 1st or not) results in a failed boot. The phone shows the 1st Vibrant splash screen for ~2 sec and then shuts off. No process I have tried results in a successful stock boot.

Hey, thank you so much for posting this up. These are great finds. I'd be more inclined though, to just call Tmobile and get another phone. I'm really tired of messing with the phone. I don't have time to be messing with this anymore.
The fact that I can get into download mode may be good news, but it does nothing for me right now. With what we know about bricking and unbricking phones, I've thrown every trick I know at it already. I hope you get it fixed, but I"m not messing with it anymore.

Yeah man, me too. I'm getting this thing exchanged. It's a paperweight right now. My phone is doing exactly the same thing.
Can you recap one more time? You are only having problems flashing a custom ROM? You said ODIN is not the problem so I'm taking it you could flash back to stock if you wanted to?
Size matters.
Hey, I haven't posted in here before, I've been a member for a while, just never had anything to contribute. So I got the whole soft brick problem. I spent countless hours trying to get into download mode. The size of the usb cable matters, I was using an LG Optimus cord, and my buddy tried his blackberry cord which had much more gerth, and BAM download mode everytime no problem. Maybe this might help some of you out there.
Also I would like to say, thank you for everyones hard work. I had to roll back to stock roms, and just got the Froyo.UVKA7 to work. I love it, it's quick, it's got color in the settings menu. I wanted to cry... Everyone that has ever had anything to do with the developement to make Android better. THANK YOU!
Absolutely,
I am having problems with the phone starting up and loading what I flashed.
I flashed JI5 Ji6, and Eugene's non bricking Froyo Rom
These 3 are the only ones I was able to find that is ODIN flashable
Why you ask?
I cannot get into Recovery, but I can get into Download mode. I can't get into any recovery at all. NOTHING. This is why ODIN seems to be my only option.
But regardless of any ROM i flash, my phone shuts off right after the Vibrant screen. No splash screen, no loading, no booting. .Nothing. It just shuts off.
I can't charge it either.
i get a Charging bootloop. HOurglass - battery shows up for a bit, then restarts over and over.
So in other words. it's ****ed.
Hope that explains it sufficiently. if you have any more questions or suggestions, Im open man, Im open.
Help me
