i installed the root , the oclf, back up and done everything step by step but after downloading the auxura2313ve.zip and transferring it to my sd phone storage, i went in to Android system recovery and i reintsalled packages many times now,,,,,
the Last meassage in recovery mode is saying "Installing muti-CSC " and thats it ive let it sit in it for many minutes, and doessnt do any thing, should i let it sit for a longer time or something, because when i turn the it on normally it will not go further than the initial Vibrant display...
what should i do now please help!
For how long did you wait on the Vibrant boot screen? At first time it may required many minutes.. I remember mine took about 10/15 min the first time I rooted my phone.
Did you try another rom? Did u do a FULL wipe? In the worst case, you can reinstall your stock rom or restore your Nandroid backup, if you made it..
its been on the android recovery mode all night, and if i reinstall packages it goes to the vibrant logo screen and goes right back to the recovery mode, Ive waited hours, and will not do anything normally,, i just want to put my stock rom back on, how would i go about doing this? how do i put it in mass storage again?
in the android system recovery mode ive also tried to reboot the phone and when it does it wont go further than the initial vibrant logo screen , its stuck ,,
i was reading some other posts and ive also nver installed froyo or odin
If I were you I would odin back to stock and try again. You may have done something wrong by mistake. Just follow the guide stickied here and you should be fine. And just a fyi, you might want to take a look at trigger, between the big 3 it has been my favorite. Good luck!

im trying to use odin ( i have a 2.1 btw if dat helps any) and after putting it in download mode , Odin does not read my phone, i watched the video already i am unable to select a PIT and PDA
now it did read it but what PIT file do i choose i dont have any on this computer!?
where can i download a pti and a pda file
Do a search for Pit and tar. Also search Odin. That search should bring up all the information you will need as well as links for the files you need to download for your computer.
ok I found it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013967&highlight=download+pit+file
ok great i got it done thanx everyone imma try again with trigger rom hope it works,,,
Last question, I backed up my files to titanium before i messed up on installing the rom , and then i used odin successfully and put the phone to stock do i have to back up my files again?
i was looking in my phone files and i do see the titanium backup but dont see the actual app.....
???????????????????????????? anyone
No, you don't need to backup your apps again.
Once you try again, please read my noob guide. I think it may help. If not, let me know.
If you can get into recovery mode just click delete all user data and u will reset and when you root again all your backups on titanium will be there.

After trying to partition the EXT feature within CLMR once my phone reset it came back up with the boot screen everything normal than nothin but a blank screen. I go back Reflash with Odin and Current Vibrant-Tmo image on here. Result was delayed audio for TMobile start up GIF and sound and no Screen response. Wen tback attempt #2 with Odin/T959UVJD flash phone resets and goes absolutely dead. Remove battery same thing. Anyone else have trouble with Clockwork Mod's partitioning?
I also noticed if you get the phone-!-pc error just running the 512pit file seems to fix it atleast it did for me.
If you had read up on here, you would know that Clockwork tries to partition the internal flash and breaks your phone. You need to Odin flash with the "re-partition" box checked. That should fix it. I have posted a ZIP you can flash that will parition the external card properly, you can edit the script and change the partition sizes if you like, it's set to create a 1GB partition for EXT4 with the remainder as FAT32.
It has been said several times in several places...
DO NOT PARTITION WITH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
I reflashed with Odin and checked Repartition and thats when it just died after reset, no power no nothin.
I also made the noob mistake of partitioning with clockworkmod . However, my device wasn't bricked. instead, it left absolutely zero memory left for third-party apps and the like. I'm not sure if I should reflash with ODIN since my issue isn't as serious as a brick. Any experienced members on this thread please help.

So do I need to reflash eugene's froyo rom or, since I already have it, skip the reflash and go straight to odin? Also, thanx in advance for all the helpful senior members.

Are you online?
I followed the guide. Unfortunately, the device hanged during the reboot. I didn't do anything during that time, so I threw in the towel and told T-Mobile I tried to update to 2.2 and sent it in. Thanks for the links though.
After installing a ROM and rebooting the phone everything seemed to work fine. The only problem is that it I can not install any programs because it thinks that I have no space available.
Now I did not backup my system... I do have an older backup on my laptop... but I can not install clockwork because there is no space.
please help!
Thanks in Advance!
it might be a problem with the ROM.
ODIN back to stock, then flash that same rom again, if its still there, contact the DEV and tell him, because its their fault.
If it gets fixed with re-flash something went wrong while flashing and that happened.
What ROM did you install? Was it ODEX or DEODEX?
I agree with the above post, if an ODIN doesn't solve the problem, it sounds like a problem with the rom, but a little more info on your situation wouldn't hurt.
Thanks for the input... I hope to resolve this before tomorrow! The ROM was Bionix Fusion
I am new to this and probably should have researched a little more. lol
Ok I have downloaded the ODIN3 v1.00
How do I ODIN back to stock?
I have the Samsung Vibrant,
Having the same issue when running Odin with Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo ...I ran Odin to fix a brick and didn't know the history of the phone. This is the only tar that will boot the phone all the way up, but I get the 0.00 available space error too. I tried stock and almost get a full boot up, but then goes black before going to main screen... I've tried many different combos including T959UVJFD.tar + s1_odin_20100512 pit , 512 pit + T959UVJI6, T959JL5, etc...
suggestions?
The ROM itself seems nice... I like the changes I've seen. For some reason it does not recognize the space that is available on the SD card as space for Applications. I've read a post somewhere about repartitioning the SD card in ODIN. ROM manager is s pretty much useless without clockwork recovery installed.... can not install it without space available. I tried repartitioning in ODIN but would not do it... is this something that could work? Maybe I am doing something else wrong,... or any other suggestions?
At this point I will be happy to go back to factory settings then start over...

Okay... YAY!!! I got it working! Here's how!
I want to note that every time I would Flash the phone with ODIN when the phone would reboot it would fail to wipe the data! This was not a fix that I found on purpose but it did work for me:
I flashed the file EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA
Now that file is for the Vibrant i9000. Not mine
So after that I re-tried the original one that I stated above,.... then it worked! I did notice that it did NOT fail to wipe the data!
So relieved!

Thanks for posting your resolution in the event this happens to someone else down the line. Glad you got it up and running.
Yup that is the true stock firmware... try this, it might help and it might not? when you boot your phone and it loads up, format your internal and external sdcard. (back up first) then reboot.... see if that helps. if not, odin the stock rom again. right now i'm shooting at flies with a BB gun so it is worth a try anyway...... and i'll try and research it for ya......
oops i didnt know you found a way....my bad. glad you got it working!!!!
So is that the way to fix it then? I just want to know if anyone else has tried it with no problem before i do it. Also, will you be able to flash back to stock?
I flashed the files that were included with the ODIN package and i now don't have any memory for applications also is the only way to fix this issue by using ODIN again or has someone found another method?
Did you use OCLF at any time previously?

I tried voodoo for the first time and couldn't get past the vibrant screen i then used the odin package the tmobile default files and got to the tmobil boot screen but the screen goes black and nothing happens my hard ware keys were on but that's it so then i used eugenes package based off the tmobile leak and that's where i'm at now it works but no application memory available.
so i want to see if i can just use ODIN with the file that is up a couple of posts to get my app memory back
How much available app space are we suppose to have?
So I know the phone has 2GB of app space, but when I totally wipe everything and go back to stock, it says only about 1.7GB.
go to settings, then sd card and phone storage
scroll all the way down to application storage
how much available space is it suppose to have under stock conditions?

Can you post the EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA file? I flashed Eugene_2E_JK2 Froyo, and then tried flashing the original JFD Stock Rom, but it gave me a black screen after the Galaxy S screen. Also, it didn't wipe the data for me.
has anyone fixed this? i have the same problem im stuck
Deleted... if you want a good guide that I made:
Check it out here.
I did ODIN back to Eclair 2.1 last night and was planning to start rooting and flashing roms. Would you suggest me to NOT do it and if so, what should be the plan of action in such cases?
Go for it.. you are not going to hurt anything. Please report back if the guide works as it should, or if CWR does not flash. You will know because when you go to re install packages it will reboot... where it would normally bring you back to the stock recovery and you would press re install packages again.
This is very weird, because i rooted and flashed a new rom/kernel using your guide with my vibrant and it turned out fine.
I tried the exact same thing with my gf's vibrant this morning and got the issue of just rebooting of the phone instead of going into the red Clockwork recovery.
I'm going to try this new update.zip and see if it makes any difference and will post again if it results in a different outcome.
Same thing used to happen to me. Your EDIT (unsure about file because I don't need to try it but deleting old update.zip files) works. For some reason, when I would JFD back it would double the size of the update.zip file. I have one that is 633kb on my computer so i have to delete the doubled one, drag and drop the one on my computer, reinstall packages blah blah blah.....
I have a question.
If I use a different version of the ODIN than the one you have on your guideline. 1.85 vs 1.70 does it make a difference? Can I use the 1.85 version?
No difference
I tried that! I tried to Flash a new rom using ROM MANAGER. When all was done, I came back on Stock Eclair and I can't get into Recovery Mode by pressing Vol Up + Down + Power button anymore! However, I did manage to get into Recovery Mode using CWR and then selected to apply zip updates. My WiFi interent wasn't working before but it seems to be working now. I can't find the option to turn on my 3G internet though!

Sounds like you need to odin to jfd
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
ok, so I dont know why but this is how i got it working.
On step 5 of the Back to ODIN guide, it states "Now, You could power off, but you do not need to. Hold in both volume buttons and power for a good bit. Do not have the phone plugged into a usb. Once you see VIBRANT, release all buttons."
At this stage, I turned my phone off and then went into stock recovery to reinstall package. So instead of going into stock recovery from when the phone was on, I went into it from when the phone was off. This allowed me to go into CWM recovery.
Give this a shot and maybe it will work for those who are having this issue too too.

If the latter, that makes sense.

I used the one that's on the first post of this topic.
I tried both the old step of booting into recovery from when the phone's on and that didn't work. So I turned off the phone and then went into recovery to reinstall pkg, then it worked.

That's the one that I posted already...
i had to do this a few weeks ago because my update.zip was messed up it would just reboot when i tried to install packages im not sure what happened to it though
I had this problem myself too! I went back to stock JFD twice, once when coming from CM7 back to froyo and another when coming from Asgard to Froyo (this time).
The first time I use a guide from this forum (don't feel like looking for it atm), it was a guide that I used when I first got the phone to root and stuff... it was pretty long. Fortunately, this time I found this thread and the update.zip works, so basically it's way easier this time around. You might have to install twice for it to work... I'll try to explain what I did.
1. Flash back to stock JFD.
2. Download update zip and put on SD card.
3. Power off phone
4. Start in recovery mode.
5. Reinstall packages.
6. Power on phone.
7. Repeat steps 3-5 and when you reinstall packages the second time it should automatically restart into green recovery.
This the way to do it and work always
Flash update1.zip from attachment after you rename it as update.zip
then you will have root.
Then reboot phone in recovery and flash update2.zip after you rename it update.zip and delete the previous one.
http://www.multiupload.com/8ZKCZWI5U7
The 1.72mb update.zip in the OP works when re-installing pkgs. Even when I somehow lost root with other update.zip files, this one still worked for me without ODINing to JFD
the possible fix mentioned worked for me.
Coming back from GB, followed your guide. When I reinstalled packages it rebooted to stock the first time, reinstalled again and went into CWM. Didn't have to mess with the update.zip.
I recently updated my phone from 2.3.3 to Cyanogenmod 7.1 I believe and went to overclock the phone, Unfortunately, I overclocked it too much and now it is stuck in an endless loop on the boot screen..
Phone is obviously a Galaxy Ace, Network carrier is Vodafone UK.
I have been trying for the last two hours to look for answer's on how to fix this and I haven't found anything, So I thought the best idea was to come to here.. Any help would be appreciated, I have also tried to install other ROM's on to the phone to correct it but it look's like the CPU is still at the overclocked setting and because of that, Won't boot up.
thanks.
Dan.

I tried wiping everything before but will give ODIN a try. Thank you. I really like the phone and am trying my best to get it working again. lol
So, I downloaded ODIN and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing.. I don't want to risk breaking the phone anymore.. The only tut on how to use ODIN is for the Galaxy 3..
I have never done anything like this before so it's all new to me.. :/
Ok, I used ODIN and I have the original ROM that came with the phone, But still in an endless loop on the Samsung boot screen.. :/ I am totally stuck now.. I have tried all I know to get it to work
I managed to sort the problem, the "One Package" on ODIN didn't work, Luckily I had the 4 seperate files needed on my laptop, So all is workign now.

Excellent work having a backup on your laptop. First thing now do a full backup on your phone before you think about further experiment. If overclocking make sure "set at boot" is not ticked. Finally read up a little on xda before you do anything - a good place to start is "Tutorial" on top of dev section and the "q & a " thread here.
I hope this works for You.
You've a one packege STOCK Rom?
so open ODIN 4.38
Untick Reset Time
Choose your one package file.
choose OPS; attatched here.
press start.
to sum up: you have this ticked only:One package, auto reboot, protect OPS
if doesnot work go to recovery and try factory reset& cache wipe.
if doesnot work, try flshing CWM and install any backed up rom, if you want one. just PM and i will upload backed up stock rom.
I really hope it helps because I got the same issue after flshing a stock from ODIN, but been removed from wipe data& factory reset.

Then unplug it and hold power, home, and volume down to boot into download mode.

I'm in a similar situation (bricked after cm12, no recovery, have let the battery die, gathering info on what to do next).
Here's a total guess, maybe the repartitioning for the cm12 is messing up the stock rom (did you have "repartition" checked in odin?) have you tried flashing cm11 or 12 instead of stock?
Also if this doesn't work try flashing with the pit file which can be found lower down on the same post as the stock ROMs.

Hi, each time i flash in odin i check repartition and load the pit file...
how do I flash CM11 or CM12? I can't put it in recovery...
I think we are in the same situation, i was thinking... can't we make a CM11 or CM12 flashable tar file? i don't know if it's possibile, i'm a newbie and know only a little of android and similar OS...
uff, if the galaxy payer could only boot in recovery we could be able to flash one rom to fix it!

I couldn't get mine into recovery either. I couldn't even get proper download mode. But, I used odin3 v1.85 (I also tried kies, and re-installing that may have installed drivers that turned out to be necessary, windows spent a lot of time searching for drivers... I'm a linux guy, I don't really understand how/why windows needs to spend 10 minutes searching for the same drivers again and again - whatever), and tried flashing lots of things, assorted pit files, roms and recoveries...
Eventually I managed to install a stock rom that I got from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39188127
It installed correctly, but booted into an animation bootloop.
I cannot flash cwm on to it. When I boot into recovery I get the (stock?) android 3e recovery, and a screen full of red telling me that cache does not exist. None of the four options, reboot, install update zip from sd, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, do anything.
Stuck there now.

Eventually I managed to install a stock rom that I got from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39188127
It installed correctly, but booted into an animation bootloop.
I cannot flash cwm on to it. When I boot into recovery I get the (stock?) android 3e recovery, and a screen full of red telling me that cache does not exist. None of the four options, reboot, install update zip from sd, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, do anything.
Stuck there now.

I'm going to try to flash that, thank you for your respond... Windows can be relly slow in seraching driver, linux is a lot faster XD, yesterday i tried to flash my galaxy player from JODIN3, which is basically ODIN for LInux, the problem is, after it ends, it says SUCCESS!! but the player won't boot... Maybe the battery is dead this happens everytime I flash the pit and stock rom, ODIN says success but then it shuts, giving no life signs
This is a really strange problem even I tryed to flash everything (from kernels, to recovery, to stock roms and the bootloader which posted AdamOutler) we need to ask to an experienced dev what maybe has happend, ecause i relly have no idea

I'll look into JODIN3, messing around with Windows is so painfull. I would skip flashing the pit, just odin the one thing. I've also found that if odin fails flashing something, everything else I try flashing afterwards will fail. The only success I've had has been with disconnecting everything, plugging the device back into the PC, the starting odin new.
I've gotten a working gingerbread ROM, from here:
http://meticulus-development.com/index.php/galaxy-player-5-0-2/galaxy-player-5-0-stock-roms/
(irritating finding the download link among all the malware bull**** and "windows support" popups, it required registering for 4shared, but a throwaway email works)
The recovery is still a native samsung android 3e, and it took me a while to figure out that the "select" key wasn't the power button, but the home softkey... That might have been true of the last one I had flashed, the one that bootlooped, maybe I could have wiped... anyway. I've got a working gingerbread GP5.0 I can give my daughter (if I can avoid the temptation of putting cwm and then cm11 on it).

Actually it didn't work DDD: whatever thank you very much for trying helping me, I think I need to change the entire device XD, but i was thinking... maybe if I install the usa rom on my INTL do you think that it may work, i've read that it works but the home button won't be recognized... dunno
I'm gonna try, as we say in italy, rotto per rotto, I will try and install

Hmmm, I think the US/Intl might not be super important, since all you really want is to get a working recovery on there. I got one of those GB roms on, then was able to flash cwm. I don't think you need to be able to use the rom, but installing it make odin able to flash cwm. Once cwm was on I installed the cm11 xip and all is good.
Good luck with yours.

If the stock recovery is not working try flashing a CWM recovery for the GB ROMS.
For the Intl Player with the hardware button this one should work

You need the Odin file to flash then recovery should work.
Do a cache wipe, factory data reset, and wipe the Dalvik cache.
