I have a t-mobile vibrant that I had rooted with Galaxy One Click Root, when the new 2.2 update came out, I unrooted and removed CM, updated via Kies Mini now I keep getting freezes, it says "usb connected" when its not and just keeps looping my desktop, but when I plug the USB cable in it becomes stable, some help will be appreciated as I am about to take my phone back!
Did you already try factory reset?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yes i try everithing, any other advise
Root it back install cwm and install bionix-v or flagship v3. That should correct your issue and these roms are better than stock.

uninstall kies ? lol
Uncheck USB debugging..if it isnt checked, check it and uncheck it and reboot.
ok i will try to do what jbatysmallville says and i put a reply because i already do Uncheck USB debugging. thanks
I did the factory rest but the problem is the same!
I tried the USB debug and it worked everything works but now I have a 10 second lag any ideas?
I have some up of the same problem. It shows the USB icon, even when I do not have it connected. I am unable to put a check for debugging because of this. what can I do to fix this?

If you're still on Stock 2.2 from Kies, the best thing you can do for yourself if to get rid of it. It's full of crap, just flash a custom 2.2 ROM and you'll be fine. Even that first flash will be a pain just because you're on the sucky 2.2 from Samsung.

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.

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?

I finally fixed the issue. After installing Eugenes Froyo port it fixed the USB from staying mounted when the phone is running. Then to fix the problem when the phone is off I booted into clockwork and wiped battery stats. After a reboot or two it was fixed. Dont know if this will work for everyone...post results if you try this. Thanks!

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
Updated w/ Solution and hopefully a working fix for others.
It happened to me, but after I flash back to tmobile stock via odin, root, rom manager and flash to bionix final via clockwork(read instalation guide) it's gone.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yea I suppose any JI6 ROM would work instead of froyo but it wasnt that easy for me. This guide is for who cant make anything else work.

@deez1234
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.

I was running axura 2.2.5.7 and decided to give darky's 8.0 a try. I performed a back up then flashed the new rom (Darky's). Now I have NO SERVICE (no call text or data) and when i went to flash back to axura, my backup was no longer there. I also cannot get my computer to recognize my phone to flash to another rom. I'm currently downloading kies. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Did you try a simple reboot of the phone. That happen to me once after flashing a rom then I rebooted and it was fine after. And did you disable voodoo before flashing

If its only a Internet data/service issue then I would download and flash a new modem. That should fix it

this may be a dumb question, but how do i do that if my computer wont recognize my phones sd card?
Flame on!!
Have you tried download mode?
Search the forum on how and what if you couldn't get into download mode. Then odin back to stock. Also, Darky is for I9000, NOT Vibrant. Please read before flashing anything. And if you want to mess around, read up about the worst scenario and the solutions FIRST.

Make sure ur phone is in mass storage mode or it wont recognize it and make sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed. I read in another thread that darkys rom wont work on our vibrants. If you can get the computer recognize ur sd card then transfer axura to it and then flash again. Remember to disables lag fixes.

You can also remove the sdcard, put it in the adapter and plug it into a reader that's attached to your pc...
From Nero's Dragon...
Possibly try getting your device into download mode and start over from true stock via Odin and make sure to repartition.
Thanks so much for you help guys! Now running nero v3

Ok so im tryin to get the new update off of kies but when I plug up says unregistered device. Im runnin nero v3 with DOW and the ka6 modem. How do I make kies work?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You need to use Odin to get back t stock 2.1 first. do a search for odin 2.1 and you will find a thread that will guide you step by step through the process.
Once you are back to stock, then you can hook it back up and run Kies, and you will be offered the update.
heads up your phone needs to be fully charged for kies to start the update so plug it in.

I hope this is the right place for this question.
Every time I plug my phone in, I get a prompt that says "MiniApplication Launcher Has Stopped Working" and I have to close it out. The farthest I've gotten was having it recognize my phone once, then crash again.
I formatted my SD drives and did everything else I've seen to do. Is there something I'm just missing?

It is worth it for me only because I bought the Samsung car mount that requires OFFICIAL 2.2 for the audio out on the car mount to function the right way..
Other wise I would stick with Nero 5 with voodoo and Dragon 3.1 kernal
If this helps hit thanks

Hi folks, earlier today I tried flashing the latest ICS firmware using Mobile Odin and after it installed I can't get the phone booted up, I get the white startup logo then the screen goes black, tried pulling the battery, no joy.
I can get into that pointless ICS recovery but no CWM anymore. I can get into download mode but nothing will detect my phone, I've tried 2 laptops and 2 desktops but it's always coming up as unknown device.
If I go into the ICS recovery the phone is detected ok but I can't flash anything from it as it comes back with some verification error.
Is there anything I can flash from the ICS recovery to get me CWM back or am I able to flash a default firmware from it?
I'm guessing the problem is my cable (it's a generic Ebay job rather than the official one) but I the replacement won't be here for a few days and I'm in dire need of using the phone, which'll teach me in future to be more careful I guess
TIA.
I presume you have Kies installed on your PC ? If you do, uninstall it. Then re-download it. Then reboot. Then reinstall it. Then reboot again. Then see if your phone & PC can talk to each other & Odin recognise the phone.
If you don't have Kies installed, install it.
Also, when you're using Odin, make doubly sure Kies or any of it's processes aren't running (check Task Manager & kill them if they are running). Tho you need the drivers that come with Kies, you don't want it running when you're using Odin.
If those things don't work, wait for your cable given you've tried a couple of different PCs.
or u can just uninstall kies and install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956 instead... its driver pack without kies
works for me atleast
Try to put siyah kernel to your sd card and flash that, I think it is signed so you should be able to flash that in 3e

It's def. not a driver problem as I've tried it on machines that have never had Kies on them nor any samsung drivers, I've tried the samsung driver pack but that still won't detect anything other than "unknown device" in download mode.
@Makrilli does Siyah have CWM? If so I'll give that a whirl! Thanks
Of course

Greetings.
I've been trying some ICS ROMs on my US 5.0 Player but I decided to just go back to GB.
I flashed what I had before, Eryigit 3.5, nothing out of the ordinary, while it was charging. Everything went well.
At one point I turned it off, while still charging.
And when I tried to turn it on again I couldn't. Instead of the Samsung logo that would normally appear, only the "waiting" android sign showed up (8 lines forming a circle), sometimes the charging battery animation, even if it is unplugged, but nothing else.
I've tried to flash stock GB ROMs on Odin, flash Entropy's kernel on Odin as well, and it boots normally when the process is finished.
I had soft bricks which I solved, but when I try to flash the stock ROM with PIT files on Odin, it wouldn't go past "Setup Connection".
Right now I can go to Download Mode but not much else.
Any help would be appreciated.
From my GNote. That's all.
I'm sure you did this, but did you flash the correct version kernel for either the us or international variants? This is the only thing that ever caused me a soft brick. Was stuck in boot loop, but was able to get into recovery.

Yeah, I used the right ROM and kernel, for the US version of the Galaxy Player 5.0.

Can verify that the drivers are okay on the computer? When I was running erigit, my computer did not recognize my device in mass storage mode (debugging off), I had to uninstall Kies and reinstall, drivers got updated... Weird.
Could the bad Odin flash be driver related?

That's just driver related try to reinstall the drivers!
I've reinstalled Samsung drivers like 10 times. Each time I had a soft brick I had to install Heimdall drivers and then reinstall the Samsung ones to use Odin, so no, I don't think it's driver related.

No recovery mode at all, just download? Have you tried a different usb cable? Had that issue with droids. After that, I'm at a loss until I do some digging.

I can get to recovery only after I flash a ROM with Odin and then I restart it with a special toggle to go to recovery. But if I turn the device off, no recovery for me, only Download Mode, so I guess something is needed up with the bootloader.
I will try a different cable tonight when I'm home. Thank you for the suggestion.
From my GNote. That's all.
Ok, seeing as recovery is pirated in, what about re rooting using super one click to unlock that bootloader (again?). Can't see how it would have re locked, but could explain the rom not being able to run or recovery not accessible. Would make sense that this could be bootloader related.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Well, I've tried everything I know.
Reflashed with Odin, and everything works perfectly up to the point I turn the device off. After that, no reboot for me.
Maybe a damaged partition, a damaged bootloader, who knows.
Tomorrow is waiting for me a trip to Best Buy; fortunately I got the extended warranty and I unrooted the device before turn it off.
Thank you for the responses I got, I really appreciate it.
Wish I could help more, but truly stumped.
