Hey i flashed i9000 2.3 bootloaders to fix the recovery and weird screen issue but now i wanna go back... Does anyone know of a firmware that includes the vibrant bootloaders?
thanks

Think stock 2.2 updates the secondary bootloader...pretty sure the sbl.bin or whatever is in the 2.2 odin images. Guess this depends on which ROM you're going to be using?
No idea on the other.

I want to try the aosp rom in the i9k section and it says you cant get into download mode using reboot download command and because i flashed the i9k bootloaders thats the only way i can get into download mode...
Ill flash the sbl, hopefully it will help me get into download using the volume keys

It doesn't brick your phone, just the only thing that can brick it in the event of a bad flash.
Thanks for the info i dont think ill flash them anyway just in case

were you able to go back to stock?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i can go back to stock firmware without reflashing bootloaders and im preaty sure any rom will work with the i9k bootloaders i just wanted the vibrant ones to try out an aosp rom on the i9k forum but it says you can only get into download mode with 3 buttons so thats why i wanted to change bootloaders
in short i have not gone back to stock bootloaders
Edit: could somone link me to that thread from a while back that fixed hardware locked vibrants?
Here you go...
Both Froyo and Gingerbread Bootloaders for Vibrant... GB Bootloaders based on I9000 but show Vibrant Splash Screen...

Hi I was wondering if someone could point me to a fully working miui froyo rom. If there isn't one then can someone port one from the other galaxy phones or from the nexus one. Thanks in advance

You're not going to get any froyo cm or miui roms, only gb. That's just the way it is.
And, GPS doesn't work on froyo cm/miui roms either. Also, all development on froyo cm/miui has ceased across all phones and in their place is the respective gb versions.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The only reason I wanted a froyo build because the gb version installation seems risky and I don't want to Odin or anything. I just want to have a gb rom that doesn't force you to Odin.

There's plenty of Froyo roms around here to pick from, no MIUI or CM7 though. That ships already sailed for those guys.
EDIT: And you really need to know how to Odin. Even when jumping through Froyo roms eventually you'll have to Odin to clear things up.

The Vibrant CM7 installation is now no more risky than any other rom. Very easy to flash. You can get one of the nightlies and flash through rom manager. I would not go above #8 yet though since those have call audio issues that need to be worked out.

I know how to use Odin but I hate how you have to clear up all the internal storage. I find it easier to just flash it through cwm. Will we still have to flash the bootloaders if and when the official 2.3 release comes to the vibrant
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
What? Odin doesn't touch your internel sdcard nor does it touch your external sdcard.
Also, the froyo cm and miui had way less working, and required some Odin to get it working.
As for 2.3 bootloaders, I'm sure you will have to because after hearing revs dissect the i9k gb roms and source, seems some initialization calls have been moved into the bootloader (i.e. gpu initialization has Ben moved to bootloader)

I need help! My first boot screen is showing Galaxy S i9000 instead of Ssmsung Vibrant. How do I get it to say Samsung Vibrant again?

I have GB bootloader already. If I odin the bootloader while Im on Simply Stock JVT will I have to flash the ROM over?

If you want the i900 gone you'll have to flash back to froyo boot loaders, but then you will have rainbows on your 2.3 ROM

Development section, page 2, Custom gingerbread bootloaders for vibrant. Read the op, but flashing bootloaders via odin is verrrry dangerous. Id probly just leave it alone, getting the fail message after flashing will get your heart beating.
I think its best I leave it alone until im ready to do more flashing. It does really bother me though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
If you read the bootloader op there is a jfd file that i think takes the i9000 logo off and back to vibrant. I dont know this for a fact but maybe someone else has done this, and could confirm. Its between gingerbread and froyo on the zip download link. Be sure
My vibrant is booting up as a i9000. How do I go about changing it back to vibrant? Thanks

Did you Odin GB bootloaders and then Odin JFD or another Rom?
If so the GB bootloaders have three files boot.bin, sbl.in and parm.lfs. parm.lfs has the boot splash image and Odining JFD after installing GB bootloaders will make it show I9000. The fix is to Odin the GB bootloaders again and it will return to say Vibrant.
There is a modded JFD in the OP of the bootloaders thread that doesn't cause the chage in bootsplash.
I'm on ics passion v 10.6 with gb boot loader currently installed. Are you saying I should just install the gb boot loader again? Or should I do something different? Thanks for your help

Since it's only there for a half a second and it doesn't effect anything you could just leave it and not worry about it. Other wise you need to flash the boot loaders again, which you're playing with fire imo

Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes
Download Da_G's (edit) ATT stock ROM and kernel to your PC
Flash both in Odin
Ensure your phone boots the OS completely
Turn it off after and go back into Odin mode
Flash CWM and ensure Odin reports success
Let it reboot completely
Power off
Hold all three buttons and see if you can reach CWM
Btw, what ROM did you flash in the first place and what were you running beforehand?

Not 100% sure on what Rom i was using but i tried to flash some Rom from the at&t sgs2. .. Some alien something Rom.... And flashed the virus over that.... I was trying to find the best Rom :-/ ...i know dumb idea.... But for some reason.... The roms that I tried from the sgs2 that was ported or flashed with the virus. .. Seems to operate alto more smoother than the normal note roms... I could be bugging.... But yea that's how i felt.... The noteworthy Rom was the only one that I liked but its not ready yet:-(

My bad dude, the ATT stock ROM from Da_G is the one u want (got the names mixed up lol).
As long as u can reach Odin, flashing Da_G's stock ROM and kernel should clear up the phone and allow CWM to be installed. Once that all works out u can continue flashing roms.
I totally recommend SauROM though, its smooth as hell.
Let me know how it goes man, hope this helps.

One more thing...
If I want to go back to complete stock do I just simply Odin back to this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330 ?
If I'm coming from cm9 ICS, is it OK to go straight back to stock gb. Also will this bring me back to stock recovery?

Yes use the download rar to go back to stock the others are just kernels. You can Odin back from any bad or good situation
