Here is a late heads up it's not if your computer crashes it's when. Get a
dvd rw for a solid vibrant back up. I have a external hd that I use to back my whole computer up. It's saved me big time. Have you downloaded the toolbox yet?
Here you go...

No matter what I do, this phone will not return to a stock unrooted state.
I have tried Odin. It freezes on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! or cache.rfs no matter what I do, no matter which computer I run it on, no matter which USB port I plug it into.
Heimdall also fails. It starts, claims that it is updating factory filesystem, then stops with no error message. Reattempting results in the error message "failed to retrieve config descriptor."
No matter what I do, I can't return this phone to stock! This will make it harder to sell if I ever do sell it, and plus, not being able to clean the slate means any 2.2 ROMs I flash have had serious lag problems, leaving me stranded on Eclair!
Help?
i had the same problem, i sent mine to t-mobile and they mailed me a replacement soon after.
I can't actually do that... this phone was purchased second-hand.
have you tried other versions of odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've only tried Odin3v1.00 and Heimdall.
I can't find any downloads for other versions; all Google searches lead to v1.00.
look for the 1.3 in the bible section.

Try no version of odin. or close odin and reopen it, sometimes takes a few shots before it works

+1 for a newer version of Odin.
I thought I had perma-bricked my phone a month ago, but solved the flashing problem simply by using a newer version. Here is 1.7:

For lack of a better term I'm a dumb a55! I have bionix-v 2.2 can't find pit file. Do I use stock 512 pit? I also have Odin 1.7.3 I can't get it to launch. I'm sure I'm just aggravated and need to to walk away. Used old 1.0 Odin to revert back to stock jfd. No lagfix no root. Thought I was ready to flash...please help.

you dont use a pit file to flash bionix, you do that with clockwork recovery, but hey I'll give you the pit if you want it.
Woohoo! I think I'm ready. Thank you!

You dont even need a pit file to use ODIN.

OK I'm officially updating status to total friggin dumb a55...went to odin to place the proper file in the PDA box and there is more than 1 file what file do I place there....don't get too upset guys this is my first flash.

i used the guide for the unbricking the fascinate and the files that came along with it. the files were I used dl09.tar.md5 and atlas pit 2.2. odin 1.7 and even 1.3. I checked all the right boxes and even checked the hash. when i boot up, however, it takes me back to the original samsung's recovery and thats it. what am i doing wrong? am i using the wrong image?
There is a post some where containing an all in one stock di01 odin file. I would link but I am on my mobile app. Just search di01 you should find it.

Go back to that thread, grab eb01 and the pit if you don't have them already....pull your battery, enter download mode flash eb01 and the pit...make sure repartition is checked and run it, if Odin says pass, unplug you're phone from the pc, insert your battery and fire it up

I have one more suggestion...what version of windows are you running? And what Odin version? I use vista home basic, and Odin 1.7 and i've never bricked it hard enough that those files and that version of Odin/windows os combination wouldn't get me back running.

I was re-reading your op and Someone else just recently had a similar problem with a new battery...it may be a dumb question but have you plugged in your new battery and let it sit and charge for a few hours? Could just be a completely dead battery cause if your getting pass you shouldn't be boot looping or frozen at the Samsung screen.
Try charging for a while and try flashing again.

Hey guys I had just started to think that I had seen it all but it turns out that I havnt. So let me start off by saying I've tried following this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746
To get back to stock but when I boot I get to the lock screen and all is fine but when I go to unlock the phone and get to the os around 5 different things force close ranging from touch wiz to settings and to google app packages and I also get a system UID inconstant error and asks if im feeling lucky (but it does matter because I cant get to the home screen seeing as that touch wiz is force closeting constantly) . So... (Deep Breath) I have tryed wiping (factory data reset), wiping cashe partition and dalvik also formating everything I can in the advanced tab in CWM. So please give me and hand with my issue and if you have a file i need to download please post a link with it.
Thanks

I'll say just use ODIN. Download the program, EH03 (if you're Verizon), and PIT v2.2. If you need additional help use this link.

I've already tryed odin and uing the pit it boots but has tons of fcs and errors
If you can find the stock eclair ROM (2.1) it might be worth flashing. It has a 2.1 pit that seems to format more completely and works better for me, then I odin GB with 2.2 pit. I seem to have trouble reformatting with 2.2 .pit and 2.1 .pit works every time. 2.1 pit file is also the only one that will correctly fix ext formatting such as voodoo lagfix. I'm on us cellular so my files won't help.

Ok im pushing now using your 2.2.1 pit i guess if this doesn't work i could try heimdall but i have never used it before and am skeptical to so wish my luck if this doesn't work ill report back
I didn't see you mention it in your earlier posts but are you making sure re-partition is checked in odin when flashing stock ROM with pit file? If not, do it. If so, disregard.

ok so I made some progress I got cm 7.1 to boot up okay but in settings>storage and under internal storage it says total space 0.00b and available space 0.00b so what do i do?
Can you tell us exactly what steps you're using when you use Odin? I noticed the guide you linked to in the OP was a really old sticky. Droidstyle's Guide is the only one that is currently up to date. It doesn't mean you've done anything wrong with Odin, I just want to make sure you have the files in all the right places and the correct check boxes checked.
