i need help in the bootloader of sgs vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have flashed the 2.3.3 lidroid rom on my samsung vibrant and i have the i9000 bootloader and i want to know if it is safe to odin stock jfd on my vibrant without bricking it?
thank you

Absolutely! Why do you wanna downgrade?

i need to send it back to tmobile. so i can get a new on as mines been flashed to many times and its kinda old too

Ok, then yes, flash it back to stock JFD with odin.

I did that numerous times, but you still wind up with the i9000 bootloader. Can someone send me the t959 bootloader to ODIN it?

try holding the volume and plug in the usb at the same time on the phone,
while odin is running. (my volume button is reversed after flashing to GB 2.3) it should go into download mode.
if that does not work try holding the volume down button and plugging the usb cable into the phone while odin is already running.
let me know if it works.
cheers!

go on I9000 Forums, search and find out how to get into download mode.
Your Phone listens to that specific buttons.
You need to press those.
I think its power and home button or something but im not sure AT ALL

Download mode on the i9000 bootloader is volume down + home + power.
Hope this helps.

vibrant brick pls help

hi all, i would like to ask you for a help with my vibrant. I just purchased it and successfully made the root and unlock. I managed to do both even tho my hardware button keys does not support the recovery mode. Any holding of the buttons will not allow the phone to go to recovery mode, this is not working even with an odin. After i did the root and unlock i downloaded the rom manager, created a clockwork image and back up i tried to make the partition of my 16gb SD card using the rom manager. After this my phone restarted but after t mobile logo and galaxy s logo the phone screen stays black. Tried all thee methods to go into the recovery mode but was not able to do it. i searched this forum also but was not able to find similar case to this one. i would be very thankful for any advice.
You'll have to get T-Mo to exchange it.

thanks to this instructions i was able to use odin but this did not change the satus of my phone?????

NEVER use rom manager to partition your SD card. Try the steps in this thread
thank you, trying to do it now
a friend of mine bricked his phone and it boot up to the "S" screen then go black after a min. i flashed it using oden and the T959UVJFD file but i got the same results when trying to boot up again. it wasn't my phone and i had already sent the guy to get a new one, but i just started flashing it with all the vibrant oden roms i could find... non of them worked. i really didnt care any more so i was just playing around with the phone and flashed a i9000 rom, of corse it didnt work but when i flashed it back with the T959UVJFD file it worked.... i dont know if it would work out for you i just wanted to share the story... good luck
thank you, unfotunatelly i am stuck with HW keys problem againm!!!!
i follow the steps from the post 4 from @Alkaloid and now from dead i am at froyo and will hang here for a while cause at least for a week dont want to flash nothing. Boy what a day, 12 hours fixing this samsung!!!
Ivuso, how did you get in to download mode? I tried everything from every single thread here that mentions how to get in to download mode..
Odin is the way to go..it saved me too

how did u manage to do that
You do not have to exchange it the same thing happened to me. You just need to use odin to flash the stock rom onto it. Its really easy. Youtube it
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
if you have the hardware keys lock the only way to get to download modwe is through odin. For me worked this.
start odin, fil pit and pda
remove battery
usb in the computer
hold volume buttons
put battery in - phone is showing just the battery charging status
disconnect usb and than fast connect back
now you are able to flash froyo from the the 4th post in this thread, once finished you will be in download mode but need to reboot with adb cause hardwate "enter" button will not work
GOODLUCK

Bricked phone (Tryed Flashing Stock with Odin) Help Please :(

I Rooted my phone today and messed around with it a little and flashed Kingklick's Kernel, and while messing around with it I (Like an idiot) flashed JAC's Kernel right over it , But Im guessing this is what bricked it, it hung at the samsung galaxy S screen ... then I tryed flashing the Stock .tar file using Odin, but with no luck it boots up normally until after the Galaxy S boot screen and the screen goes black but the 4 touch buttons on the phone light up please help.
PS. I have been searching this forum for hours for a solution, and excuse me if this is in the wrong section I am new to XDA.
You didn't brick it. It's almost impossible to brick this phone. Just do a complete Factory flash with odin, 512 pit file, and tar file; then you should be ok
I think I did that and the same is still happening, but can you give me a link to the Complete Factory Flash, you are referring too because I tried both of the ones in the Vibrant Bible.
Try doing the Eugene's froyo that does not brick.. then install stock 2.1, you must have odin to do all this..

IT WORKED THANKS !!!!
Moderators, please close this thread as it is Solved
The same thing happened to me yesterday..flashed kk kernel over JACs OV/UV voodoo and soft bricked my phone. Nothing worked until I did flashed Eugenes froyo that won't brick and then flashed back to stock 2.1.
Worked perfectly! You can find everything you need in the vibrant bible..careful about posting stuff in the dev section like this...usually go to the Q&A or the V Bible. You can get a lot of flack from people for posting in the wrong forum. Just a little FYI, hope this helps and I'm sure the fix will work....like above said its almost impossible to brick this thing...

I was about to make a thread in Q&A because I'm having the same problem as the OP was having.
For the life of me I cannot get adb to recognize my Vibrant, also, when I try and put the phone into download mode I get nothing. Phone Will boot up, go through the bootanimation, and once I get to the home screen everything goes black with the capacitive keys lit up.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On a side note: I had an Epic not too long ago and had nothing but problems with the Drivers. 32 bit.
Thanks in advance.
What I do to get into download mode is connect they phone to thee computer (while it is off) and wait until the battery meter comes on. Once the battery meter comes on I hold the volume up and down key and the power key until the battery meter goes away and comes back again(keep holding the keys) but right when the battery meter goes away again let go of the power button (but still hold the volume keys) and you should bee in download mode then you can let go of thee volume keys and run odin.

dl mode
1 phone off
2 odin on
3 take out battery sim and memory card
4 plug usb in
5 hold down both volume keys down(only) while reinserting battery only
this works to get me into DL mode everytime.
Hope it works for you.

[Q] Samsung SGH-T959 - no gsm network after FroYo upgrade

Laidies and gentlemen,
Here is a problem.
I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 from T-Mobile USA to Android 2.2 and now I can't pick up gsm network at all.
I tried roms JP3, JP3 and JPK. On first two I simply get a crossed circle in status bar. If I pull out sim the phone will not request it at all. If I put sim in and try to search for mobile network, it will not find any.
On JPK I get black screen after S logo and random vibrations.
I even tried JP3 rom with JPK modem and still no gsm/wcdma.
I also tried both PIT 512 for JP2 and JP3 and PIT 803 for JPK.
Also to ensure Odin3 is ok I tried both v1.00 and v1.30.
I am completly pizzled here.
Just to make sure, I am not referring to WIFI or 3G/Edge. I do not have the basic gsm network to make calls.
Any suggestions??
TIA
RTQ
So, um, which froyo "upgrade" did you use? You know there's not an official one yet, right?
It would have to have been eugene or master's... Or you used one meant for another galaxy s device, which would totally explain your problem.
Sent from my vibrant using XDA App
I could totally be wrong here as it is 5 am here, but are any of the current froyo roms based off of JP3 or JPK? If I recall correctly they are all JPM or JPO based. It definitely sounds like you flashed something that wasn't for your phone, or flashed something incorrectly (seeing as I haven't read anything about JP3 or JPK).
If you can still get into download mode, here's stock JFD for the Vibrant.
And here's the stock kernel, since you probably need that too.

Did you flash the original Galaxy S ROM?
The radios are different in the original GT-i9000 and SGH-T959.
Did you try following Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and flash back to JFD route?
There is also a new ODIN in the wild 1.7 I believe, check the bible in the dev secion.
More details
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
Here are more details and answers fot you:
1. I am currently running JP3 with modem from JPK - that I tried out of desperation, installed via Odin3 1.30. Previously I used JP2 and JP3 on PIT 512.
2. JPK blacks the screen out after S logo and gives random vibrations until I pull the battery out. So you might be right about JPK's incompatibility.
3. I already downloaded JPD but it contains no modem or CSC.
4. Would it make a difference if I rold you that on either JP2 and JP3
- my Vol+ and Vol - keys are reversed
- home button does not work
- in recovery mode OK button does not work
- Vol -/Home/Power combo never worked even on original 2.1 rom
- to get to Donload mode I had to have USB cable attached (but not connected to the PC) press Vol +/- and Power
- the only way I get to Download mode now is by adb

Seriously we doesnt know what u talking about froyo. Vibrant doesnt have any froyo yet, unless u using eugene and other rom. My suggestion is revert it back to stock and wait for update. If u have aGALAXYS INTERNATIONAL phone then u in the wrong place
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
This guy is all kinds of confused. Shouldn't give these people phones.
Listen: You do NOT install something on your phone that is NOT made for your phone. First problem right there. If you want Froyo on your phone, look in the DEVELOPMENT section under the VIBRANT category. VIBRANT, the phone that you have.
What you need to do is ODIN back to JFD and never touch your phone again.
Go into download mode and open up ODIN 1.7 and use the CORRECT PIT FILE for your phone and the JFD firmware. All of this can be found in the development section.
Actually, I'll be nice and show you exactly where.

You didn't answer the earlier questions--where did you get these ROMs? Are you flashing ROMs from the i9000 dev board?
There is no SGH-T959 Froyo update which is why you're having these problems.
Odin back to stock JDF then flash Eugene's Froyo if you're looking to run it. Or wait a few weeks and we'll have the update...maybe.

I had the same thing happen to me last night with my phone not detecting the gsm.
This is what I did, I not tech savvy, but I did I did not like the 2.1 OTA update for the sgh-t959, my phone was laggy everywhere. So I researched and researched about froyo for the Vibrant, and you guys are right there is no OTA update, but it was made possible through the mini kies, first in the UK, then finally the U.S. after I updated everything was great. This is after the fact that a friend of mine said I should root my phone and flash the (cynogen???) custom rom. I have rooted my phone through the super on click method, but I decided I didn't need to go beyond that and I haven't, it's still rooted. SO, I was trying to use an app while at the grocery store, and my phone froze, hasn't happened since I had 2.1. I turn it off and when I turn I off, the home screen never loads, it's completely black except for the status bar at the top. The media scanner keeps on scanning and there is the universal no symbol there. scared the **** out of me.
So I pulled the battery, took it home and plugged it in to charge, let it charge turned it on and left it alone all night without looking at the screen to see if it booted up. I woke up this morning and I was lucky it loaded fine. Can someone please advise me as to what I did?or why this might have happened?

if you do decide to use odin, make sure and at least try to disable voodoo beforehand. (It saves alot of trouble, it is however; possible to use odin without doing this, using froyo that doesen't brick... but I would not recommend it unless its your absolute last resort.)
I would try simply disableing voodoo and see if that fixes it.
welll gonna make a jig to get to download mode will i need any thing else besides odin to flash froyo that doesnt brick to the vibrant

Its hard to say what the possible cause could be, it could range anywhere to bad file downloads for what you were using to unbrick ( I assume you were using odin) all the way to hardware failure. I personally have never had that problem but if for whatever reason you aren't able to get your phone working again complain to samsung as it was their software that messed up your phone.

thats true ive already tried complaining to tmobile but samsung would say the same thing because i bought the phone off of ebay so i dont have any warranties i really hope that this method u showed me can help
This method will get you back to stock. IF you want to update through minikies, then you will probably have to update to Ji6 first after doing this But this will resolve your problems
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
also i would like to add that i have been trying odin i havent got any sleep at all trying to fix this phone ODIN SUX and im a bit upset that ive tried this over and over and it does work..

Also, you will need to pull the sim and the sd card 1st before Odin back as long as Odin recognizes the phone you are ok, if Odin gives you problems you may want to try heimdall it works the same but sometimes just using a different program helps.

All the links are there these are thinga you want on your pc not phone, for eugene's froyo you will have to do some searching try looking at he bible thread in the development section.

hold vol up and power only from a powered off state. this should bring you to a screen with red-orange writting. from there hold down vol up\down and power and that should bring you to dl mode. from there you need to use eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.
ive tried that already idk if i have the right eugenes froyo file but i got the phone to turn on and it does exactly what i told u guys it boots up and everything is ok except usb mode and my computer doesnt recognize it at all then once i turn the phone off it doesnt come back on unless i try the unbricking method all over again
it also whipes everything i had saved away.. Can someoen pls assist me with this?
i called samsung they offered to fix it because i have a warranty but there has to be a way to fix this at home i need my phone now to be honest. samsung will take forever to fix this and ship back..

***head desk*** you need to odin to stock jfd not unbrickable froyo. You ccan flash eugenes stuff after you go back to stock 2.1 . Use the links I provided earlier for odin then use the steps others have listed to get into DOWNLOAD mode. Then flash with odin
