I rooted my vibrant some time last month. I used to one click lag fix then i flashed the bionix fusion rom. Now I wanted to get it back to stock but I can't figure out how. The nandroid backup I did before rooting my phone got screwed up I guess because I remember last time I tried to restore my original nandroid my phone kept locking up at the boot up screen.
I tried using that stock nandroid from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114then the second time it just stood at the command script to restore but it didn't do anything. I restarted my phone and now im trying to find a way to restore my phone to stock.
can anybody help me please
*btw i noticed that the link says its for BaseBand T959UVJFD but i looked at my phone and i have baseband t959uvj12
i tried the odin way also and this is what i got

try different comm port
close everything, or ever restart your pc
1. start odin
2. put your phone in download mode
3. connect your phone to the pc
4. watch if it reads the port, {in yellow}
5. load your files and flash, dont disconnect till it says passed/reset
isnt switching the comm port just using a different usb slot? no matter which one im using im still getting comm5.
*just switched to my laptop and now its using com4
now this is what i see
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
how long should this part take? it might have froze?
anybody have any other suggestions? its been saying file analysis for more than 5 minutes
Try this!
Open odin dont plug phone in yet
load .pit and .tar file
Make sure everything is out of your phone (battery, sd, sim)
plug phone into pc via usb
hold both volume keys and insert battery(should put you in download mode)
unplug usb from computer and plug back in(odin should recognize phone)
push start
that always works for me and if it doesnt then try to reformat your sd sometimes that works too!
trying to do the same thing and it just stays in file analysis!! how long should it be there??
Hi guys
sorry for a noob question. yeah I watched azrienoch's noob's video, and I SWEAR to god I've searched all over for an answer (all I got is for Fascinate/Captivate devices).
anyway, my friend begged me to root his SGSII, like I did with mine.
He had the exact kernel/baseband/android version I had when I rooted and flashed it.
I followed Chainfire's rooting guide, it took 61 minutes for the Odin to finish. then, it had a bootloop - the phone is stuck on the Samsung I9100 logo with the yellow exclamation point.
So I tried, as the guides suggest, that I will enter recovery mode - but I couldn't enter recovery mode (even when I take the battery out).
so, again as suggested, entered Download mode and tried to flash again with Odin.
but when Odin is "working", when I try to flash Lite'ning Rom, this is what I get and then it's stuck for hours:

<ID:0/006> factoryfs.img
when I try to flash the original Stock Rom, it's getting stuck on the CACHE.
right now, when I unplug the USB, the phone is stuck on this picture of a cellphone, an orange exclamation point, and a pc:
any suggestions please?
thanks in advanced,

You can still use Odin when you have that logo on the screen, but it sounds like the main EMMC flash IC has a problem, writes are taking far too long.
I think you should try a different USB port or maybe a different PC altogether, just to eliminate the PC as the issue, and I do hope you are using the Samsung USB cable to eliminate the cable as the issue

Yes sir, I am using the original Samsung cable.
I also destroyed any Kies applications from the pc's task manager before starting Odin.
what I didn't do is enabling USB debugging, since it wasn't one of the requirements of Chainfire's instructions.
Hey guys, the problem is fixed!!
I just changed the Usb port, opened Odin, and the it took exactly 2:15 minutes to flash Lite'ning Rom!!
thank you so much for the help.

Do you have KIES installed? If so, uninstall it but keep the drivers of samsung.
You should open odin with administration mode (right click and open with admin mode)

Hello Everyone,
I apologize if this isn't in the correct place, but I'm at my wits end with patience with my Att SGH-I777. I've been all over this forum and others trying to figure out my problem and have absolutely no problem admitting that all of this is above my head. Here's my issue: I attempted to update to JB using kies the other day, halfway through I got an error message that the update failed and that the next step was recovery mode. Attempted this and it also failed, several hundred times. My phone has now been stuck in recovery mode for 4 days. Ive downloaded ODIN and am ready to try to flash the phone with JB. As I understand it, because I can still get my phone to both the DL screen and recovery screen all is not lost. My problem however is that I can't get ODIN to recognize my phone. It shows that its been added, but doesn't light up yellow. My phone only shows in my devices and printers as "serial gadget", no longer as removable mass storage device. I've downloaded and uninstalled kies multiple times, along with the drivers separately, nothing has worked. Please help!
Thanks!
OK. You seem to have done your homework. Good start. We need to identify where the problem is, as it could be several possible things. For instance, you must not have Kies open or it will tie up the drivers and prevent the connection. Sometimes just for good measure, it is a good idea to uninstall Kies so that it cannot interfere. You can always reinstall it later if you need it. You will need to have the correct drivers installed. In windows you should go to "Control Panel | Programs | Uninstall a Program" and look for "Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones." If you don't have that, then you need to install the latest version of the driver. If you do have it, then it is a good idea to remove it in windows, reboot the computer, and reinstall the latest version of the driver.
The problem could be leaving out a small step in the whole process. Complete the following and let us know which step you are unable to complete.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
Let me know if it flashes successfully. Regardless if it works or not, before you close Odin, copy out the information in the Messages section and post it back here.

Thanks for the reply. I uninstalled Kies, as well as the drivers, rebooted the comp and than reinstalled the drivers. I'm using Odin v3.07, so I'm not sure if this is the reason I'm not getting anything other than the usb added in the message box, as this may be all that happens with this version. I attached a snippet of what I'm seeing after plugging in my phone and following the steps you outlined. The flash failed and this is what was in the message box. I never made it to the point of a progress bar.

I'm not sure if there is an incompatibility of this phone with the newer versions of odin. Why don't you try downloading Odin3 v1.85 and see what happens when you try it? Go to the Download Repository, link in my signature, and there is a download link near the top of the page.
Also, which version of the Samsung driver did you install, and where did you get it?

I've downloaded it but wont be able to try it until sometime later tonight. I installed version 1.5.14.0, downloaded it directly from Samsung's site. If I can't get the icon to light up yellow, there's no point in starting the flash correct?

I think that is the latest driver.
I don't know what you mean by icon, but yes, this:
In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
After you try Odin3 v1,85, we'll see where you stand and if it doesn't flash, what to do next.

Update: Tried a couple more times and got it to work finally!! Odin def seems finicky, or I just had no clue what I was doing, or both haha. Can't get past how many times I tried with the other version and switching to v1.85 made the difference. Thanks for the help, feel like I've rejoined the rest of the connected world!

That's good! It's probably not Odin, but more likely the data quality of the cable, or a degraded connection at one of the USB ports, or any number of things similar to that. Anyway, glad you got it going.
I am trying to root my Galaxy S2.
So I followed instructions online, I booted in debug mode, connected the USB cable then pressed the up powerbutton to start the mode, I then opened up Odin v3 3.04 and it showed up with a device connected. I selected the correct .tar file under PDA and clicked start. It says "setup connection" and freezes at that.
I tried redoing it because it wasn't working. Eventually I decided to see if it was just the program. I opened Samsung Kies and it couldn't connect. It tried connecting for a long time and eventually just gave up.
The weird this is that when I plugin the USB cable my computer actually recognizes it as a Samsung Device because the first time I plugged it in it installed drivers automatically using Kies.
I tried using different USB ports, tried using a different cable and I tried charging it.
I couldn't tell if it was fully charged but it charged for 8 hours so I'm sure it was charged fully. Still didn't work.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies, now it is connecting with Odin but it wont connect with kies at all. But its now showing this error.
