But can any plz tell me the easiest way to get my phone back running it only goes to the boot samsung screen i cant get into clockwork but downloading screen. Please and thx plz provide links
You need to use put your phone into download mode, use Odin to flash .
update
the rom i had was bionix frost 2.2.1 is there some kind of way to just reflash a rom to get my phone back running
You can PM tomorrow, if you don’t have the files.
Yes,you need a tar file and using Odin
Your phone is soft brick! You can still flash but only by using Odin. Do you know how to use Odin
If you can still get in to CWM and you left the ROM on your internal SD, just re-flash. Everything should work after that. That would be the easiest way, followed by ODIN.
As long as you have a complete ROM on your internal SD card you should be able to get into recovery (hopefully) via the hardware buttons and re-flash that ROM with its correct kernel.
Otherwise you are stuck having to go with odin/heimdall and flashing it that way.
Goodluck.
how exactly do i use odin i downloaded it but what do i have to do first i still have a copy of the bionix rom on sd
Use the Vibrant Toolbox here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 It's the easiest way to go back to stock. Also, anytime you have a problem like this it's best to just Odin back. Reflashing through clockwork can leave alot of bugs.
here is some videos that you can watch

and Miui rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150045
i downloaded both zips and put it on sd card, but i dont know what to do now
im on STOCK ED05 atm, but have root atm
i searched forums already but still have trouble and i found out u have to use mdt clockwordmod recovery. Can someone link me the exact file and tell me how to go from there?
i usually use odin3 1.3 to flash roms and kernels with md5.tars
sorry for my noobness
EDIT: i read HOW TO go to stock, OR from stock, and then flash any ROM. but got stuck on 3. Download latest clockwork recovery (cwr) to computer (search dev forum for correct cwr for your intended rom)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=657960&d=1310959789 flash that recovery with odin
thx for reply i tried that earlier and on bootup it went into blue and i couldnt mount any of the partitions
how do i flash in odin with atlas 2.2 pit file or without?
I use the recovery JT attached in this post. Should be the same one linked to about.
Shouldn't need to mount anything.
Boot into recovery using three finger method (only do this for the first time into recovery ).
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip from SD card
install the MIUI 7-29 file from post you linked to.
After its complete you can flash the Glitch kernel too, without even rebooting.
That's how I've always done it, just had to do this over ED05 after messing my phone up after flashing CM7 and Vanilia to try them out.

I always select the PIT file, and make sure the box that says "Repartition" is checked on the left side.
You only need the Atlas PIT file if you are trying to go back to a Froyo rom after flashing one of the GB roms. Say going from MIUI back to ED05.

I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.
Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

+1 to you.
I appreciate the kind words sir, thanks!

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.
Once it shows successful, remove the cable.
insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.
Flash a custom stock kernel.
choose "reboot system now"
let the system boot up.
then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.

thanks im trying it out now!
So Im trying to install a custom Rom from stock on my homie's Vibrant but I noticed the free Rom Manager app is absent from the Market. The licence for the Premium version is there and you can download it but the free version has to be installed first. I tried pulling the one from my Vibrant and tried to install it in the now rooted stock Vibrant but it wont install and Im not even sure if you could do that anyways. I also tried just installing Clockwork Mod by renaming the zip file update.zip and flashing it with the stock recovery and I was able to get it to the "green" cwm recovery screen but everytime I tried to either wipe the catche or try to flash the custom Rom it would just freeze. Is there a work aroud to this. Thx in advance.

Was happening with me too yesterday. You need 1.7 mb update.zip file I believe. Return to jfd through odin and then go from there.
Same thing happened to me yesterday after a disastrous flash and an Odin back to stock!
Luckily I was able to Bluetooth the apk to myself from my wifes phone.

if I am not mistaken, I notice that noob guide does flash CWR (method B) but it does not root the android phone since there is no ROM Manager installed.

Hi..first i would do is flash the original rom for your phone and your region with odin, unless you had that OTA update that installs knox and then going back will not work, if you are on the original rom yet just reflash it, and then check this post here and get one of the recoveries from @Silesh.Nair signature in his post as links are in my post already for that and get the tar file of the recovery and flash it with odin and once the recovery is done flashing you must reboot into the recovery right away again otherwise it will install the stock recovery again..this only has to be once and then it will go into the custom recovery after that when you boot up your phone.
Then put UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip onto your sdcard or external sdcard if you have one installed and flash it with the recovery and that will give you SuperUser status then and your phone will then be rooted as it works good doing it this way, by flashing the original rom or even a custom rom you should not lose your pics as that is usually left alone when doing this or can be synced with your google account if you did it this way.
This is what i would try first and see how it turns out especially when you flash the original rom..boot it up and see if you got your stuff back..unless the pics got deleted some how, use odin also to flash the original rom..just unpack it from it's zip file first and use the tar file inside.
Also do not wipe your internal sdcard as if your pics are on there it will delete then, you can do factory reset and the other stuff...let me know how you make out.
