tried to install eb01 rom through odin, it failed

tried installing DI01package3.tar through odin it failed at around 60%
download mode/recovery mode won't start anymore.
instead when I connect the phone I get some weird loading thing that's not moving
and now my PC won't recognize it
Picture of the loading thing?
Also, did you flash the voodoo for another phone?
EDIT: Try taking the battery out and holding the down button while plugging it in, if that doesn't work, you probably flashed something for another phone and you'll need to either use a jig or get a warranty replacement.
EDIT2: Also try this:
Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power.
or this: take out the battery, hold both Volume Up + Volume Down and plug it into usb.

hey I dont know what thread I read this on but there was a way to force your phone into download mode, I think the thread is call fun resistors or something.
basicaly the phone is set to do things depending on what is plug to by the usb cable, for instance if you have a car dock it pulls the car app and same for homedock pulls the clock app. well there is a set resistance that will make the phone go into download mode. download mode might be intact but the buttons might no so when you press them it does not detect, but with the resistors it might.
let me know how it goes.

Here's the link. Funny I had just been reading about this for a friend's Vibrant that went and killed itself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Keep in mind that that is in the i9000 forum, so I don't know if each phone uses different resistances to send the phone into download mode or not. Also, I would highly recommend using the suggested USB-micro breakout board, which is available here:
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031
It will make life SO much easier.
Do some more googling about your phone, and about forcing it into download mode before you just go soldering in 301k resistors onto a usb board.
Good luck.
Your phone basically IS the Vibrant, follow the steps for the Vibrant to fix it, but use the Telus Fascinate Odin files.
I hope you can find a full odin package cause the DI01 package flashed the bootloaders, modem, and everything else on your phone. Most likely, you have a true brick and you aren't going to be able to fix it.

If you can't find one, use one for the Vibrant, it won't hurt seeing as you already flashed the files for the VZW Fascinate.
If he has anything appearing on the screen at all, it's not a true brick. There's a Telus fix-all Odin. He needs to jig himself into download (see this thread for the simplest method) and apply that (step 1 in this post).
Do *NOT* use any Vibrant Odin stuff. The SBL for that can actually kill the Telus deader than dead.

You should apply the DI01 Odin fix-all package adrynalyne posted.
The OP, on the other hand, is on Telus so he needs a different Odin fix-all package.

This morning I wanted to install a new rom and for some stupid reason, I forgot my phone was a Vibrant and not a I9000.
The rom installed just fine using Clockwork but once booted into recovery mode, I am unable to use the power button as the select button. Also, the volume up and volume down buttons are reversed. I am guessing that the I9000 has a home button that my phone does not.
Question is this: Is there anyway to get OUT of recovery mode? I tried to connect using adb but my computer could not find the device.
Am I royally fcked?
Don't listen to the guys on top...everyone makes mistakes..try going into download mode and flashing "Eugene's froyo that does not brick". After that flash jacs nandroid backup. I would post links but I'm on my phone....you can find the links in the vibrant bible (its one of the stickys in this forum)
Instructions to get into download mode:
Turn phone off
Take out battery
Put battery in
Hold volume up and down and then insert USB cable.
This should take you to download mode.
Then flash the roms listed above in that order through odin (also found in the Bible). Hope this helps...

Do as he said above, but also make sure you have odin opened up before plugging in usb to the phone, and make sure you have all the drivers for the phone installed. I fought with odin for about two hours my first time before I finally realized I had to have odin opened first.

Thank you guys so much. Not only does it work but now Froyo is installed!
Like jtc442 stated, Odin must be started before anything will work.
As an aside: The up and down volume buttons are reversed and the splash screen is stuck with I9000. Not a big deal, something to remind me which roms not to use.

Well done dude! Mistakes happen, glad you sorted yours out. Those are pretty normal things in froyo as far as i know so its not a ROM issue. If you want a really good ROM I would recommend Bionix ROM, its currently the top dog of Vibrant ROMs

can you not use odin and install everything to get it back to factory settings? using the correct pit and tar files? then start fresh? download the all in one zip, and start fresh.
There is a known issue with non-Vibrant froyo ROM's with the reversed buttons, and 3.5 mm jack. As far as the recovery is concerned, I think either home or back button should serve as a select button (on the original Galaxy it is the large home button).
Hey folks. Just had a similar case (all fixed now though ). In my case, I went from stock JI6 to the Vibrant Hybrid R3 ROM, and was stuck at the Vibrant screen for about half an hour. Decided to ODIN back to JI6, which made it stuck at recovery. Fixed that by using ODIN to go back to 2.1 July stock and then back to JI6. What is it that caused the two soft-bricks in the first case? (For the record, I followed instructions to the letter) Just wondering.
EDIT: I suspect I misinterpreted the term "stock." I assumed stock meant a T-Mobile ROM, not specifically the ROM that shipped with the phone. Was that the issue in the above incident?

Get into download mode by pulling the battery. plug in your phone to your pc. while holdin the volume keys down put the battery back in ,this should take you to download mode .then Odin eugenes froyo that doesn't brick after that reset odin and put the pit file and jfd file then odin then you should be fine.

If nothing else works, look up the jig solution. Almost guaranteed that will set the phone on download mode. Once on download mode ODIN back to factory stock. If you are not comfortable i will do it for you for free. Depending on where you are located you could either bring it to me or ship it over.
Hope that helps.
If all else fails, keep your $20 and spend it on this, if you cannot make your own jig:

If you haven't tried yet, use a different cable or a different USB. If you have a lot of devices plugged in unplug all the ones you don't need and try again.
Goto the vibrant bible and follow the instructions on using the eugene froyo rom that does not brick. Once you loaded that up than you can flash back a 2.1 flashable rom. From there you can use clockwork mod to flash one og the american version froyo roms.

vegabyson, i found this for you, should be exactly what you are looking for to unbrick your phone... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
im in a soft brick, used aio toolbox to try to flash to stock from 2.2 and now my phone just flashes the vibrant logo and the battery icon with the loading circle thing over it, ive been to 4 or 5 different forum threads about fixing it using odin but nothing has worked. odin goes through the whole process ad says it passes but nothing, still stuck. im about to go to tmobile and either talk my way into a new one or pay the insurance deductible for a new one and forget about all this rooting stuff, but if someone can walk me through fixing it in the next day or two, ill donate via paypal
When you used Odin did you get into the download mode? And which files/ROM did you use with flashing Odin?
You need to use Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick and the stock JFD Eclair ROM that comes with our phone (Stock ROM). I was in your position when I didn't disable voodoo while going to a different ROM once. That scared me to death lol.
If you're phone starts you can fix it. Read the stickies and find the noob guide for Odin then donate to OP.
If you can get into download it is easily fixable.
In the noob section there are methods to getting into download mode. Try this one first, :
Remove the battery, remove the sim and remove sd card. Get Odin up on the computer and plug the usb cord into the computer not the the phone. Holding both volume rocker buttons down at the same time plug the phone into the usb that should get it to go in to download mode. There are variants of this method, like ... do the same but keep the battery in. Or, go into recovery mode and then do the same thing with it on. Read the noob guide by S15274N he has all of them posted and explained.
If none of these work for you, then Buy a jig from Connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com) for 8 bucks it will get you into Download mode. You can find him in the forum or that website. It works without effort. YOU SHOULD BUY ONE ANYWAY.
Once in ODIN :
You will need a stock JFD Tar file, pit512 file
1 Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
2 You want to check the 're-partition' box.
3 Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
4 Then, root the phone (use superoneclick) then Download Rom manger open it into flash CWM. Then you can flash your new Rom.

Appreciate that man. To the OP, this is easily fixed... oka1 has you on the right path. If you need help, just PM me... I spent 2 hours with a guy last week doing this, rooting him afterwards and getting him a custom ROM... no money was given.
ODIN is the answer. The noob guide has at the bottom of the OP a subject called the ALT METHOD. It will fix your phone, give a leaked froyo (upgrade it later), root and a recovery.... just by pressing like 3 buttons.
i have the jfd tar and both the 512 pit and 513 pit, have tried them both and both with repartition checked and unchecked, tried every combination i could think of even used all 4 of my usb ports, still nothin. in odin when i goes through the process itll say RESET in blue then after about 2 minutes itll say PASS in green, but my phone will just have the battery icon on it with the loading wheel thing over it....thats it everytime. i get into download mode just fine btw
T959UVJFD and s1_odin_2010512
you will have to odin to eugene's froyo that does not brick then odin jfd and 512
yeah i just got eugenes froyo "that doesnt brick" i may be jumping to conclusions but i think it may need a name change cuz now im bricked....just a complete black screen doesnt do anything no download mode no recovery no nothing

My phone is stuck on the recovery screen with no usb connectivity. I cannot connect to ODIN nor can I get back to the main screen. And before anyone asks YES I HAVE THE CORRECT DRIVERS INSTALLED. My problem is that my phone will no connect to USB AT ALL. I had rooted my phone with an old root method, well I downloaded SGS Kernel Flasher and tried to flash to a new kernel because the fascinate I had wouldnt connect to usb to flash to the new CWM. When I flashed the kernel my phone is now stuck in the recovery screen with no usb so i cannot connect to ODIN. The recovery screen is the stock one. So i was hoping someone here had a ZIP file that I could flash that could at least get me back into the stock rom. Any help in very very appreciated.
I would pull the battery, hold down the volume down button and plug the usb chord in and try to odin back to stock, but it sounds like your phone could have a faulty usb port too

Im looking for the a zip file that will take me back to stock and will also work with stock recovery. I dont really care which one. I just need to get back to a working phone. And yes I am stuck in the recovery screen. When it trys to go through the normal boot process it just takes me straight back to recovery. I have tried doing the factory data reset and it takes me right back again to the recovery screen with no OS loaded on it.
This might help if you are trying to get ED01

Man no usb, no odin, no good
There has to be a way to do this without usb or odin........
I tried flashing the one you just gave me in the post and it gives me an error code 2
I assuming that the kernel you flashed was a voodoo kernel? That might be the issue too. If it converted Odin is the way out. I don't know why they don't just make phones boot from sd card like the Nook Color. Man that would be nice. Just a thought, did you try to place a cwm update zip on the root of your sd card and try using stock recovery to access cwm? Then flashing a rom. I have never tried that with fascinate but i know it worked with the droid eris I had.

Definitely try this. So is your usb "fried" or actually broken?

try putting this on the root of your sd card: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OLKZRCE9
it should take you to cwm after you hit "apply /sdcard/update.zip". from there you should be able to flash a stock or custom touchwiz-based rom (i.e. CommRom 2.1), and from there, who knows?
following instructions is a vital part of making sure things pan out like they should. My first observation is that you cant do that...WRONG SECTION brah
This does not belong in dev section.
FWIW, I had issues with my usb port as well. Ultimately the port failed completely and I had to have it replaced. If you google "samsung fascinate usb port replacement" you will find two companies that do this work for $40 or $50 bucks respectively.
My port started getting wonky several months after I got the phone. Cleaning the contacts with a piece of card stock dampened with isopropyl alcohol helped for a while. Then it went completely dead usb wise and only charging would work. Looking into the port, I could see that two of the contacts were separated from the tab and pushed to the back of the port recess. I suspect that non-oem cables I used started the ball rolling.
Verizon would not cover it under the warranty because it was "physical damage".
I tried unsuccessfully to find a way to restore back to stock without Odin, afaik there ain't one. I recommend replacement of the port if you suspect physical damage and then use only oem cables.
