To make a long story short, I flashed my phone to official gingerbread (Tmobile Vibrant) and I hate it so i want to go back to a restore i have in CWR. But now Super one click doesnt let me root my 2.3 Vibrant! How annoying! Download mode doesnt work either! Any help?! Flashing odin back to 2.2/2.1 would be a great help!
Official 2.3 has been released???

ummm you sure you flashed an official 2.3 release? A link to the rom would be helpful.
How are you trying to get into download mode?
Show us the link! This would be a giant breakthrough for developers if you show us the official 2.3 link for gingerbread!

you are going to have to try different button combinations to see if you can get into download mode, the best option however is to make a jig. Search usb jig in the vibrant forums and you will instructions on how to use 301k resistor and a micro usb connection to bring your phone into download mode. If im not mistaken instructions for a jig are in the noob thread or the how to unbrick thread found in the general section of the vibrant forums.

Thanks a lot guys. Will try this step when I get home. I know the new Vibrants have the recovery mode buttons disabled. Will this override that? And first time posting on this so I apologize.

Hey guys, I need some quick help on flashing a new rom/kernel onto my buddies Bell Vibrant GT-I9000M. I am guessing this is the right section since it is called a vibrant lol as I was confused to maybe post in the I9000 Section.
I own a Captivate so I don't know much about the vibrant on how to go about things, figured it would be similar.
I been searching but been having a hard time, and he needs his phone back quick. Was wondering if you guys could help me on how to just get his phone working again. His phone can only go into download mode, recovery 3e, and stays on a constant boot screen. Makes things hard to do. I wanted to do a oneclick odin to stock fix like that captivate has but I don't see one anywhere here. If there is then this whole thing would be much easier.
If not, any one mind giving me some steps on how to use odin 1.7? I figured I'd go with the darky rom and suggested kernel.
Thanks in advance

Looks like your'e in the wrong section, there are lots of threads in the Q&A section about this which is probably where this needs to be posted anyway.
you know how to get in to download mode but you dont know how to odin hmmmm. check the i9000 forum on the right way to get back to stock or whatever then flash away it should be a sticky or thread there explaining how to odin back.
It's different... ur friend vibrant looks more like I 9000then u. S version vibrant.

Hi, i've flashed my phone from android 2.3.6 gingerbread to 2.2.1 froyo, when i flashed it the phone turned off, and now i can't turn it ON even if it's charging. how can i solve that problem?
First question;
Why on earth did you install Froyo from 2.3?

Oh yah, things are obviously kosher now that you have Froyo on there, it's so smooth it can't even turn on?
Try put the phone into download mode, get odin + stock firmware and flash it.
i can't even put it in download mode, the screen is black all the time, even when i hold these buttons and odin detects the phone i cant do anything because when i try to flash it it says <setup connection> and nothing happens for a long time

Next time please post question at General Section
if you want froyo,Simply flash multi-package stock froyo rom ;-)
you will have froyo on your ace ;-)
problem why is this in dev section? and Froyo has better battery life for those asking why. Try removing battery connect via usb and enter DL mode. If you got to DL mode then lucky you if not troll samsung center

Listen to this person and ignore every other smartass.
First of all wrong section!!!!!!
Next steps to solve this problem
1)remove sim card,sd card,battery ..tgen meditate for 2mins.
2)re insert it....
3)dont restart it go to downloading mode you will definitly will get downloading screen..
3)if you are not getting downloading screen go to a servicing centre
4)if u get then u have to download a europian version(not necessary) with all files like pda...modem..etc
5)flash it...
6)now u hav europian version...then u flash ur desired froyo version...
Bottom line is /* u cannot downgrade from gingerbread to froyo with one package */

Do not say that we are not helpfull man!
Maybe no one that read your post has found a solution yet!!!
I actually stopped in this thread once ready to help this guy out but he mentions he is on froyo...
MY device came with Gingerbread, so rooting is as easy as user superoneclick (heck, there is a youtube video talking about how easy it is to root on the 5 but the 4 will be able to do the same). Sadly, advising this with this froyo uncertainty might have the potential of bricking the device, so I passed by this thread saying nothing. So I'll just do this...
Did you do a OTA update through your device's settings and check if there is a Firmware update? Once in Settings, go near the bottom and click the ABOUT button and click system updates - wifi is of course needed but wifi is everywhere even Mcdonalds for free. Update your rom accordingly to get to Gingerbread at least on the device. Then check this video -
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA4bw8bU4T4
Once rooted, check this thread to choose your kernal and rom you want to flash -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
I highly advise Ethereal rom [or Icy Fusion], and for the kernal Terrasilent [or Klin Rev 3] . Be sure to flash the Kernal FIRST not the rom so you can have recovery features in case things go wrong.
P.S. You probably got bypassed btw due to heavy focus is being brought towards other thread s like the ICS thread for 4.0 device or everyone has a thread they particular hang out in. Or it could be that these type of threads like yours pop up so often every month that the people here just glaze over the threads like these telling themselves why don't they do a search in google (like I searched "root samsung Galaxy Player 4" and my first link above is the first one that pops up in google, which is the video i referenced to root mine the first time) or check the All in one thread in the developers section of the Samsung Galaxy Player 4/5 forum (which I linked above as well). I don't mind helping though but that might be because I'm kinda still new here...

Dang people what's wrong with you!!! (kidding ). Hmm if you want GB I can offer you the 2.3.6 update in a separate tar and you can flash it from here. From this point, you can flash any custom rom based on stock. Dang froyo, for how much time you had this?
Can i sir? Include the tutorial too
Btw i cant see any system update under setting and about device..

You can use Samsung's Kies to upgrade to the latest firmware.
However if you have rooted and modified some stuff, there might be a chance of getting your device bricked.
Also, make sure you have pressed Power+VolDown+Home key to get into flashing mode when you use odin.

Wait a minute, which odin are you using? You need odin 1.7 to flash on the YP-G1.
Yes sir i use the one in ur thread 1.7. My galaxy y detects odin but my yp is not. Maybe i should use the own yp usb cable and not the cable from sgy do u think thats the problem?

Maybe, I never saw a case where a phone is recognized and the other device isn't. The only alternative I could is is heimdall but it's longer than odin. Assuming you have tried all the usb ports on your computer. Have you tried to flash on another computer?
NOT YET SIR, maybe i should try to other PC with vista OS
heimdal is for linux os isn't?
hello guys i did some research and i have only found Da-G's thread which is the old revert to stock. I currently have an issue with my note, and i called warranty and my new device should be here on Monday. i will have to ship my old device back, thus ill need to revert it back to stock. whether it be GB or ICS. is there any insight on this. im afraid of using DA_G's odin.tar and bricking the device since i believe it is a GB odin. any light shed on this would be phenomenal.
needs to be in q&a
