Hi guys! First off, i'm somewhat new to all this flashing, android phones at least. I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this. Ok, so before the mods send me to a how-to thread, here's the scenario. I got a replacement Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile because my first one fried up. So I get this second one and it's got Froyo 2.2. When I had my old Vibrant I had flashed Bionix R1 and it was incredibly fast. Now I want to flash Axura 2.3.x.x but I can't because I have Recovery a3. So please, could someone show me the light and point me In the right direction. I'm lost on what to do.
From Stock Samsung 2.2 Froyo to Axura 2.3.x.x is all I need

you have 2 options, you can either odin to stock eclair and flash like normal with 2e recovery or you can do a search for modded 3e recovery which will allow you to flash as if you had 2e recovery. Sorry but i dont have the links handy as this is not an issue i deal with on a daily basis.
What Shreddintyres said is correct here is the 3e fix link

Hi guys I wanted to get my Vibrant from custom rom n rooted to stock rom and unrooted
i read bunch of thread including the [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)
but i can't figure out which is the right method i need to use...
i didn't use Odin, i used OneclickRoot and Rom manager to install clockwork recovery and the custom rom (nerov3)
so can anyone give me a step by step process to how to proceed w/ the back to stock
i would really appreciate it
thanks
Just read up on the ODIN.. when you go back to stock, you'll be unrooted automatically
Here the link with tutorial.

I just want to say Thank you for the link you provided. Most posts replying to questions are the usual "just do a little searching ..." and no one ever provides a starting point.
I've spent a lot of time "searching" and running into conflicting information or information pertaining to a completely different issue.
So again, Thank you for the link. It made this post simple.
[EDIT] I almost forgot to ask jimprime, why are you wanting to go back to stock and unrooted ?
I have not yet rooted, but have noticed a lot of people are looking at going back to stock and I am curious. Why root in the first place?
well first its not really my phone second i just wanted to try out froyo on the vibrant didn't c much difference and i didn't really find it that much faster than the stock and i switch back to stock
yea this helps out alot
Hello everyone, im sure that the answer i seek is here some where but ive been searching for a day and cant seem to find what im sure im looking for......a copy of a rooted stock rom for the usa tmobile vibrant that can be flashed via phone.....if someone can please point me in the right direction or add the link or whatever, i would surely appreciate it.
Thanks in advance

Is that what you are looking for? You can always flash an root it yourself. There is a one button tool.
Im not sure if thats the way i need to go....i am curantly running axura 2.2.5.9 and everything is opperating fine but i, at this time still like the orig system and just want to flash back to it the way i fashed to axura.....please do forgive my lack of knowledge for i am still in the learning stage but not the scared stage ;-)

You will more thank likely have to go back to true stock using Odin. I do not think there are any roms that include root access with them. Root acess is what allows you to flash a rom as well as gain super user access to the device.
Here is a link to a true stock 2.1 rom, Flashable via odin only. http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg
Ok thanks guys I tried to restore to my back up but it soft bricked I guess.... kept looping in boot up.....but before I did anything I download nero3...so went into recovery mode and load that and WOW! I love it....same feel as original rom so far as I can tell but with 2.2 and some sweet changes

Hey guys i flashed a stock rom and i keep getting no service. Ever since i did this ive been getting an at&t bootanimation, and then under the system settings, i get no network listed. Obviously I have tmoblie but i am only picking up at&t radio signals too. I have tried flashing cyanogen and i dont get these problems. I attached picture to help for a better understanding. Thanks in advance for help

I think it is but im not sure. I also get a tmobile boot screen
Yea this happened to me as well lol. I downloaded the wrong odin files. Rookie mistake... just find a T-Mobile Samsung vibrant odinable jfd rom. Should be in the vibrant Bible. It could also be one click for vibrant, I can't remember.

I tried this too, but i still get the same results. The only rom that doesnt do this to me seems to be cyanogen but i still get the at&t boot. Sorry Im actually a MT4G user, this is my brother's phone im trying to help him with and im not too great with it as you can see. He just doesnt like cyanogen. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so far guys.
Can someone help me get rid of the boot logo at least?
Hi Guys
I have been on xda for a while, earlier I was using HD2 and learn quite alot from this community. Now I have got Vibrant as well reading about it on xda forums is a little confusing for me. Vibrant is not as easily flash able as HD2. So need your help guys. Let me tell you about device-
1.Its rooted and CWR is installed.
2.I installed the CyanogenMod 7 and it was working fine, Then I read about voodoo sound, to get it I flashed supported kernel -CM7_Vibrant_kernel_kang_20110504_r10_update.zip this one, but after installing it phone is not getting any signals and camera stopped working.
3.Well later on I thought to install bionix-v-1.3.1.zip but CWR is not installing saying not supported and operation abort.
Questions-
1.How do I go back to Froyo from gingrebread?
2.How to enable vooodoo sound?
Last but not the least I am already tired of flashing ROMs on my HD2 and I need little break. So please suggest best and stable ROM with vooodoo sound. So that I can use it for a while without facing any issue. Froyo or gingerbread any will do.
And please link me to some guide of vibrant where I can read and understand it. I found some guides but they dont seem complete.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you download the AIO Toolbox. It has everything you will ever need. I believe its the very first post on the vibrant android development forum.
You need to ODIN back to stock to get to FROYO. (use the toolbox, it has ODIN)
as for a stable froyo ROM, i suggest Project V, lots of themes + the sweet edt tweaks app.
Hope that helps
I moved away from eclair the moment i got my phone (wait for it) but whenever i move from froyo to ginger or voce versa, i always odin first and look for instructions in OP...
Alright, kang doesnt seem to be stable, similar thhing happened to me.. flash glitch or kernel du jour for CM7.. WAY BETTER and both have voodoo color and sound... once you have em, download voodoo control from market, altho they should be active by default.
Idk too much about froyo roms; i rememver using bionix 1.3.1 and loving it.

The 2 best guides ur gonna find are stickied in Q&A and Vibrant Android Development forums respectively.
Q&A is the "noob guide" by @s15274n the Vibrant Android Development one is "The Official Vibrant Bible" by @FATEOWNZYOU. Both should provide you with all your answers. Good luck!
You can always look through all the Roms and Etc. With my Vibrant Bible... Link im Sig.. little out of date cuz iv been on vacation.. but anything older then 2 weeks is on there for ya =)

You can find the correct files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319802
You should reflash stock, then flash passion.

It's good that your phone is working again, but you need to be very careful using kies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517406
If you're modding / flashing custom roms, It's really best to avoid kies. If you'd had a GB bootloader when you used kies your phone might be bricked now.
