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.
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.
^ which update.zip did you use?
If the latter, that makes sense.
Can anyone try the update.zip below?

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.
When I try to go into recovery mode all I get on my list is reinstall, reboot, factory reset and one more thing. I'm using my friend captivate to post this for help?? Cause my phone won't get past the boot screen. How would I proceed to fix this? Any help is appreciated. thanks!
Odin to stock, check the 1st sticky

If your phone is at least trying to boot than your absolutely fine... read stickies and you'll be back on track in no time
make sure you install the samsung drivers for your comp.

first of all your phone is not bricked...
1) turn off your phone
2) hold volume up + volume down then plug usb to ur machine..phone will automatically go into download mode..from there flash .tar and .pit files and ur phone will go back to stock..
here is a link follow thiis guide http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
and here is a video just in case if you wanna see before flashing back to stock

if you go back to stock..u will have to root again...but it will be a fresh start..GOOD LUCK
I'm trying to figure out how to get a factory image back onto my galaxy tab 10.1....It will only boot up to the Samsung screen and then immediately re-boots...I've even gotten into recovery and wiped everything 4 times already and it still wont boot up. I just really need some help as to what to do now..I've heard that by using Odin, that I could re-flash the entire operating system, but I'm not sure..Any help, thank you guys!
Re-flash the stock file using CWM
How can i get into cwm if it wont even boot up?
1) Power On
2) When you see the Samsung Logo, hold the Power and Volume up buttons
3) It will then display the Downloading icon as well as Recovery icon
4) Select to boot into Recovery.. Flash your stock image if you backed it up.
First off...thank you so much for taking time to help me..secondly, i dont think i backed up stock image..ive only use titanium for backups. Am i out of luck or is there a way to get stock image onto this thing so i can flash?

Hey there,
I'm trying to get CyanogenMod on my friend's aging Vibrant. I first rooted, and then I attempted to install ClockworkMod through the stock recovery. At first it just restarted back to the stock recovery, so I installed it again, and boom- CWM. From there, I wiped, went to mount USB storage, and the drive didn't show up on my computer. I figured it needed to be rebooted, so I tried that. This time, it reverted BACK to stock recovery. I figured, okay, all I have to do is flash CWM again. It won't work anymore. I don't know what to do, because I can't flash CWM, a Rom, or even restore the original rom because I can't get into CWM.
Please help!

Okay, I've never had this issue personally, nor have I read of anyone else having a similar issue. However, despite the lack of CWR, you can still restore the device back to stock via Odin. There is a guide on the usage of Odin that can be found here. Download links to the program along with the required .pit and .tar files can also be found in said guide. Once you've got the device restored, you can go through the process of installing CyanogenMod... But, keep in mind that the installation process is going to vary slightly depending on what version of CyanogenMod you wish to install. Are you trying to install CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread), 9 (Ice Cream Sandwich), 10 (Jellybean 4.1), or 10.1 (Jellybean 4.2)?
I know about Odin, but I'm on a Mac right now. I was really hoping there was a way around this so I didn't have to install Windows via Boot Camp. I'm planning on installing CM10.

You could use Heimdall, an alternative to Odin that is compatible with OS X. You can download it here.
Now, in regards to the process of installing CM10, you could refer to this video... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812882. Hopefully you won't get that weird CWR issue this time around. Let me know how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
No matter what, I can't get Heimdall to detect the phone. It just says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".

Hmm... Perhaps this post might be of some help? Sorry, but I don't own a Mac, nor have I ever personally used Heimdall... So I've never had that issue before. However, a little Google searching uncovered a bunch of threads discussing this exact error. Perhaps a little digging may uncover your answer? Link. Again, best of luck dude.
Can you get back into the stock recovery and transfer files to the internal SD? If so, you need to flash update.zip(attached). It will add a custom recovery. You may need to flash it twice to get it to show up. From there, I would suggest you do the following: 1) wipe user data, cache and davlik(under advanced) 2) reboot recovery, if the stock recovery comes back, just reflash update.zip. 3) Flash whichever ROM you want on the phone, again, may take two flashes.
If you cannot add files to the internal SD, this solution won't work, in which case you'll have to play around a little more. I would suggest, as an alternate method, that you pull the battery and SD card. replace the battery and try to enter download mode. Try using Heimdal One-Click(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683). It's much easier than using Heimdal or Odin and will flash the Vibrant to stock. View the download mode shortcut below.
Side note: hardware shortcuts help a lot. If you don't know them, they are here:
Hold volume up + volume down + power =
1. When off, boots recovery
2. When on, reboots into recovery
Hold volume up + volume down +plug in computer USB = download mode.
^This is what you use for Odin and/or Heimdal. They won't recognize the device unless it's in download mode.
May also take a few tries.
Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions.
EDIT: You may need to have the phone on the stock ROM to flash that update.zip. I ran into that problem and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for a long time. Don't update the vibrant to stock 2.2 to use the update.zip.

I already have the update.zip on the phone. I can get into the stock recovery and flash it (it says "replacing recovery with Clockwork" and everything), but every time I attempt to flash it, the phone reboots to the stock recovery. I can't add files to the internal SD because the only options are Reboot System Now, Reinstall Packages, Delete All User Data, and Delete Cache Data"
One-Click doesn't see the phone either. I'm starting to get really worried. Is there some sort of driver or something I need to have installed on the system?
SOLVED!
Alright, I finally figured it out. I'm exhausted, haha.
I finally just bit the bullet and installed Windows. I used ODIN, which was such a breeze. I wish I would have just done that in the first place.
Thanks for your help guys!

Although I had heard of Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox, which is also a one-click software (but only compatible w/Windows), I had never heard of "Heimdal One-Click". This is good to know about, and I've added the program to the The Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread. I learn something new every day. Thanks!

Great news! You can follow the instructions I wrote out to install a custom ROM from stock. Just put all the files on the internal SD, wipe everything and flash update.zip and then the ROM and gapps.
If you have questions, you may PM me as well.
