Hi ! Here is my problem :
When i'm trying to back to stock (2.1) through Odin it said - "PASS!", but when phone reboots - nothing happens, only Samsung Vibrant screen and then Black screen.
Before this i have ROM with Voodoo, that bricks me
PS
Sorry for my English
Sounds like you didn't disable voodoo first...in which case you need to odin eugenes froyo or 2.1 that doesn't brick
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I flashed on Eugene's Foryo that doesn't brick, after "adb reboot" phone goes into usual boot, but after screen is black only buttons LED's on. Is it normal ?
PS
Sorry for my English
yes...you have to go back into d/l mode and odin back to stock or whatever...eugenes froyo is just a stopping point to recover back to stock. its not meant as a daily rom
Here is the sequence to fix :
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
Good luck~~
it doesn't works for me:
1st - flash eugenes Froyo that doesnt brick ( no repatition )
2nd - flash Stock Rom (T959UVJI6 or JVD) ( With repatition )
and it goes into black screen after Samsung Vibrant
ok ! I flashed - (ROM)[ODIN] Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery, And my Phone boots normal. But.. the Application Storage is 0.00GB, and Phone Storage is unvailible how can i Fix this ?

Download pit file "512.pit" 1. Stick it right with odind wher it says pit 2. Click repartiton 3. Put tar file in pda field 4. Start 5. Done .6 you should be happy now
BTW DONT USE JK6 .........DOWNLOAD UVJFD ! FROM BIBLE SECTION
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 means you are stuck on ext4 partiton i assume u had custom kernel running before

YOU GOT IT WRONG ! ! !
ONLY UVJFD IS REPARTITON UVJI6 IS NOT REPARTITION "ITS A ONLY UPDATAE TO UVJFD"
JFD IS THE FILE U NEED TO REPARTITION
DO UVJFD PLUS PIT 512 AND SHOUJLD UNSOFTBRICK YOUR PHONE .(WITH THIS COMBINATION U CAN REPARTITION)

now since you got this to work FLASH ANY ROM ETHER STOCK 2.2 OR ANY MODED ROM (FLASH IT IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY )
XDA WONT let me attach files i would like You to try because the files are too big but just flash any moded rom on top of where you are now .(or moded kernel or moded rom ether one is ok ) best bet is FLASH VOODOO kernel from dev section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 , pick one from the link and flash it in clockwork

Much help would be appreciated!!! Have to work all day today which will be slow, so I can work on fixing this. My main question is what type of file is pit & tar? Pit properties is coming up as a window shell comand, Tar opens with unknow app? Not sure if this is my problem or not, I get ODIN to run and complete the steps and end up with the above.
Using Odin V1.3
512.pit
t959UVJI6
did you disable lagfix before you did this? If you didn't have lagfix then I would try to go to stock 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
If you had lagfix, its a little more complicated and you may need to use Android SDK. Search for lagfix and flash and the information should pop up.
dont use the .pit file for JI6.. only way I can do JI6 for some reason.
see if that works for you
can you direct me to the files that I need....pda and pit PLEASE...

was completely stock and I just rooted/unlocked. Swithed Sd cards and stuck in boot loop, after booting up again, trying to recover through ODIN, so probably no lagfix

just use the JI6 PDA file that you used..... dont add the 512.pit file to it in ODIN
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,
Temporary Solution...
Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone can use it but no downloading or anything. Try to downgrade to stock rom but not luck.
I had the same problem and had to start over again with JFD and the 512 .pit file. Afterward i went to JI6 through KIES and then used Eugene's Froyo ROM with root and took it from there. I had a weird problem where my drive letters went from e and f, to g and h (that's what they are now). I also had a problem with the CW file on my SD card. I eventually had to move it to the phone in order to flash CW recovery. Flashed and am running Nero V3. Best ROM i've ever used!! Highly recommend.....

Thats what I think i need to do is reflash Clockwork recovery, not sure how to do so though
(Not sure if i posted in the right section before, im really worked up. Ive been flashing roms for months, and i just cant believe this happened)
Ok, so before, I went to install the Simple Galaxy rom, and i forgot to disable VooDoo .. When I boot my phone, its tied together between the stock Samsung Galaxy X screen and the Auxura Rom (which i am came from + with the honeybread port)... I know im only soft bricked, so at least i know i can SOMEHOW fix this.. I can get into download mode and recovery, but when i got to recovery and choose install ZIP from Sd card, it tells me nothing is there. I tried factory reseting it,..Can ANYONE help me with this. Please guys, Im in BIG need of help..
Edit- I got Odin to work, Im going to see what happens next
If you can get into download mode and can use ODIN, why not just go back to stock and do everything over again?
Here is all you will need get these files
Eugenes froyo that does not brick
512 pit file
Stock JFD rom
Odin 1.70 or higher
Then follow this :
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

I had something similar happen, now I can get out of recovery mode (it says
Code:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

I tried reinstalling Foryo stock (KA6) still didn't work.
What is the difference between KA6 and JFD?
JFD = 2.1 - Elcair
KA6 - 2.2 - Froyo
I would odin back to stock 2.1 (JFD) has always worked for me.
You might need to odin using the "repartition" checked...

You flashed wrong kernel.
EDIT: I made it short above just to let you know im trying to help. You flashed a kernel for GT-i9000, the international model, not SGH-T959, our Vibrants. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929 and download USB driver for your PC. Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625 and download Odin v1.7. And go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 and download one of Odin flashable .tar Voodoo kernels, KA6, KA7 or KB1 preferably. Try match it with your ROM just to be safe.
Install the USB driver. Then extract Odin3 v.1.7.rar and run the executable. Leave Odin open. Turn off your phone by pulling out battery, plug USB cord to your phone and to your PC, press and hold volume up and down buttons, and insert battery. You should be in Download mode, and Odin will recognize your phone and display a COM#. Now click on PDA button and select the .tar file you downloaded earlier. And press Start button and wait untill everything is finished and your phone reboots.
The initial boot may take a bit as Voodoo will convert your filesystem into ext4. You will hear voice telling you what's going on. And you should be good to go.
Just in case above instruction doesn't work (I personally never flashed an i9000 kernel), try reverting everything back to stock. Doing so will require a couple of additional files.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and download JFD Odin Image and 512 PIT file. Extract PIT file first. Then launch Odin, put your phone into Download mode, and in Odin press PIT button and select the 512 PIT file you just downloaded. And press PDA button and select JFD .tar file. This time make sure Re-Partition option is selected. And press Start. This take a bit longer than just flashing a kernel, but no longer than 5 minutes. Once you're back to stock (original released in July 2010), flash any other ROM of your choice.

I did the exact same thing just a few days ago. I asked on this forum and got some great help. I downloaded the new Odin Software v1.3 and also downloaded the stock Vibrant software. Put them all on your computer,extracted, and hold down just the 2 volume keys then plug in your usb cable. This will put you into download mode. Look in the Odin program and it should recognize your phone, if it doesnt then youll have to download the drivers again. Its in the Vibrant Bible. After all of that upload the Rom to the pda section in Odin and make sure you dont click anything else then push start. This will take a few minutes to load then your phone will reboot and your back to stock. This worked for me hope it works for you.
Thanks everybody, I used Baywolf's, hope his name is spelled correctly, Vibrant toolbox and got into Odin and reflashed my phone back to 2.1 stock, them Samsung Kies to 2.2 stock. Thanks for the replies
im having the same problem except that when i reflash my phone to stock and try to turn on my phone again it wont...i have to reflash it everythime i want to turn it on and it deletes everything everything
Hi guy,,,
i had un-successfull tries with odin. but Also had a successful one when flashing Vibrant with Stock 2.1. it was very simple indeed just downloaded .tar and .pit file, and flash , and thats it.
i want upgrade to 2.2 (latest version of 2.2 , maybe 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 not sure)
using Odin.
can any1 provide a straight link to download STOCK OFFICIAL FROYO .tar and .pit files ? to use wth Odin ??
Thx Guys
Ok , another quick Q: when i flashed 2.1, i downloaded .pit and .tar file.
now im downloading T959UVKA7 -that is 2.2 - from http://www.samfirmware.com/
but i donkt know how to find associated .pit ???
is any ROM MUST has a .pit file to flash ???
Latest one was kb5 and you can find odin version here.,,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12913705

Answer is NO!!
Mapping can be done using the same 512 pit file.
Also you only need to repartition once which you already did when you Odin's to JFD Eclair
Therefore, you don't need to partition anymore.
Also UN-tick reboot on Odin, Otherwise you wont have control the first time in wiping critical stuff before you re-boot. You use the menu on the phone to wipe data/factory reset and then do the wipe the cache next, Then do a reboot otherwise you might end up with a boot loop.
Also why aren't you using Rom Manager, to flash ROM's instead of Odin?
Your going to find out here shortly that 99% of all ROM's are in a zipped file, and must be done using CWM recovery method.
thx for your reply , can u provide me wth a link for detailed guide for beginners to use Rom Manager from scratch ?

Got Root? YOU NEED A CUSTOM RECOVERY!
Big props to XDA user Koush for his amazing Rom Manager App. In short, this lets you create system backups for those "oops" moments. It also gives you a directory of ROMs for easy downloading and flashing. Yeah, it is that cool. Please see his post for instructions. After successfully installing, be sure a make a Nandroid Backup of your system before flashing any rom's (see below).
Installation instructions:
1.Download ROM Manager from the Market.
2.Flash Recovery.
3.Choose Vibrant as your phone.
4.Accept the Superuser prompt.
5.On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
6.Watch the backup go!
Thx Dear,
plz i need to confirm that setting before i dive into Ocean
- i open Odin 1.3 (leave Auto-reboot , F. reset time checked) by default
- will load 512.bit into PIT
- will load "T959UVKA7-REV05-home-low-CL865177.tar.md5" into PDA
- put phone into download mode , connect USB cable , and press Strat.
is this right ? any additional steps or files required ? (i hear about csc , modem files , etc , do i need such files ? or just everything is included in T959UVKA7 version i downloaded from samfirmware.com)
thx in advance..
