Thank you very much. OP I can fix this and for the record you flashed a Vibrant sbl.bin while still having a GB boot.bin which is a no go. However I can have you up and running in no time so just PM me.

You can just call T-Mobile and they will give you a free replacement, that is what I do everytime my phone gets messed up.

Return a rooted Vibrant

I don't think best buy would even noticed if I return a rooted phone as long as the rom is as close stock as I can get. Any opinions?

theres no guarantees but you are correct they probably wont notice that it doesn't work. What they will be looking for is if the phone works, water damage indicator and physical damage. They will probably once over the phone then return it as long as you are within your proper return period.

That's what I'm thinking. It works it just won't have as much bloatware on it. There just gonna resell it anyway. I tried to restore the nandroid of the original rom but once restored it gets stuck at the first samasung splash screen.

Well with all returns what they do is send it back to Tmobile they will send it to Samsung and get turn into a refurbish unit (for exchanges and such) They will flash the OEM Rom back on it.

If you flash back via ODIN make sure the three button recovery works because if ODIN crashes mid-way (I've had this happen twice on my previous Vibrant) you've got a brick if you can't get it back into download mode via the buttons. Do a forum search. Or maybe if you wound up with the dreaded black screen of death that wouldn't be such a bad thing. They'd almost have to take it back then.
i just returned one the other day to best buy and the chick went through the phone for a couple of minutes, checked settings and menus and then also checked for physical damage. i had reflashed it back to stock anyways as bell's version comes with a bunch of specific apps. i was glad i did flash it back and i also relocked it to bell's network as i had unlocked it for use on rogers

It is true every once in a while you will get a rep who knows their stuff (when i worked at t-mobile i would play with customers who had flashed new ROMs on their G1 ) However most of the time you will get minim wage joe blow and he could give a rats ass.

It really isn't.. its better to be safe than sorry. At least thats how I feel.
And as far as that phone -- pc logo, I guess they would take it back but if they ask you how did it get that way? you're going to have to lie about it and its just going to feel really awkward.
Truthfully though, all they'd have to be trained to do is not accept returns if you see the superuser app. That'd be the easiest way to see if someone has rooted their phone & If you're not even going to take the effort to flash it back to stock, you're probably not going to delete that app either.
Just re-Odin it & call it a day. It took me less than 5 minutes to get back to stock & maybe another 5 to download the necessary files.
This will also ensure that you don't have any leftover contacts or log ins to facebook or anything like that on there (better safe than sorry).
Thanks guys. I was using my slide for the last couple of days by picked the vibrant back up and fell back in love. If I do decide to return it I'll put it back on stock. Thanks again guys.

What about installing the Galaxysrooter from the app market then unrooting it with this app?
Im a little new at all this so please excuse me if i sound dumb. Cant you just flash a nandroid backup and then undo root also?

Yup, that'll work as well. Or you could download a nandroid that is stock without root.
i got my vibrant the day it came out, from costco... $99
Swapped it a week later, Couldn't unroot it for some reason, but they didn't notice... then again it was costco
They won't care trust me i worked for tmo. These people don't even know what root is they might think its a plant. They just scan it out of their inventory and send it to samsung. If it has root on it they are not going to send it back to tmo just to find u or look to charge your account. That is soooooo tedious cuz u have to do an IMEI search which hardly works on TMOs internal network (i tried when i worked with them never really worked) so yea all they look for is hardware damage and the liquid damage indicator other then that ur golden.

[Q] ODIN Failure, Please Help

I was using Bionix 1.3.1 with DoW. So this morning, when i tried to turn on my phone the screen was stuck at the green DoW screen. retried and same thing happened. So i decided to Odin back to stock, that failed and it shows "Data Wipe Failed" in recovery. So i looked up Eugene non-bricking froyo and tried that before odin back to stock.. and it still doesnt work and now i am out of options. Any ideas on what i can do? since i can still get into Download Mode all hopes isnt lost right?
Correct just keep trying sometimes odin can be a real pita
Bionix-V 1.3 w/a Splash of Color
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that happened to a lot of phones (including mind) and there is no known fix.
Look at this thread

iLOVe straight forward people , P but lets try to help out instead of tossing this vibrant out ?
There is no fix sorry but the only thing that boots it up is eugenes jk2 but it boots with unavailable storage. I tried to warn people when it first happened to me and they all began denying my advice. Well look what happened now, many people are bricking their phones because noone listened. My phone has been bricked for over a month but I wish you the best of luck.

i dont even remeber if i had this problem i had hundreds of problems with my vibrant .Whatever You do i dont care if You redo it 20 times ,it might start to work by 21st time ,Welcome to Vibrant world . ( not every one has time to sit and scratch their head to make phone to work after 48 hours , maybe you should resend your phone and get new one ,at least You will get new phone :> )

Which kernel and modem are you using?
thats really odd ODIN didn't replace it. at&t bootanim after fresh ODIN and at&t after flash of ROMs huh. How bout kernels? still at&t? Do you get either one of the custom bootanims?

i am having the same problem here.
It's not a boot animation. You must have flashed sbl.bin from the ATT ROM...can you provide a link to the ROM you were trying to port?
You need to flash the vibrant sbl.bin. I believe it's in the bible.
Its your bootloader....you need to re-flash the original vibrant sbl.bin to get rid of it. JI6 has it I believe...if not its JFD
i have odin it using both and still i get the at&t logo, its driving me crazy.

[Q] Bricked my phone little help please

ok so i was running SH 3.9.1 and decided to go back to stock so i odined back to jfd and then tried to update with kies and now my phone will not even turn on anyone have any clue on what i need to do or if there is anything i can do
a)did you flash gingerbread bootloaders? If you so and you didn't flash back the froyo bootloaders before using keis your probally f***** up your phone. Need a jtag
b)if you didn't flash any bootloaders just call tmobile and tell them keis f***ed up your phone
c)you could just lie to tmobile and tell them keis f***ed up your phone
seconded... (holds up blank phone)
same issues here, odined JFD, all was working fine, went to update via Kies, and it completed, rebooted, and did not come up after waiting over a half hour
no lights, can't get to download or recovery modes..
Yes you need a jtag, I recently had the same problem. PM connexion2005 and he can hook you up for $50.

lol yeah i see that now and funny thing is i was actually coming from your rom EB.
The "Kies" effed up my phone has got to be the #1 over used excuse. Probably used more often then it actually does, but IT DOES! so its easy to get by with. I'd have to imagine in this situation its bootloader related. People should honestly fess up when they bork up their own device and pay the fee to get it jtaged. Just my 2cents.
As the old Chinese proverb goes:
"You break, You buy!"
I agree with you on that and it probably was my fault it messed up but im also broke otherwise i would of gone that route
one of these days there gonna catch on
Wow..... you guys.... bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible..... even still.... you could have built a custom jig for $1.19, some scotch tape, and an old car charger. read the stickies yo.... I've had bad bootloader flashes at least 20 times now with odin and my cheap little jig has me back in dl mode in seconds.

Oh yea there is definitely a worse step than that screen. It's called NOTHING. Literally your phone is worthless at that point without a good JTAG technician. I see it over 100 times a month... . Not trying to be a smarty just letting you know that there are scenarios in which the JIG is worthless and you will need someone to JTAG there phone.

[SGS3] very deep sleep and cant wake up

I am not sure this was posted or not, however if it has, please point me to the right direction as I am not able to find it.
Situation:-
Using the phone as per normal. It auto lock or manual lock it. Wanna unlock/wake up the phone it doesnt. This happened once in awhile not sure when as unable to determine the cause as sometimes running a game and I lock it and sometimes lock it without running anything i.e. back to home. To wake up, I reboot the phone by long pressing on/off button. Was using CheckRom ICS... And at one occurance the phone really died on me and unable to reboot no matter what I did. Sent in to SC and got back a new Motherboard.
Now it is happening again. Now in JB 4.1.2 (OmegaRom). The phone just fell in to a deep sleep and cant wake up unless I reboot the phone. I hope I dont get the forever slumber/sudden death situation again.
Anyone can give guidance or advise on how to check what is the matter or anyone having the same experience?

I don't recall it happened to me while using stock touchwiz roms.
However, since I've moved to AOSP roms (first AOKP M1 and then JellyBam), it happened to me 3 or 4 times now.
Do you get it also on touchwiz roms? Which OmegaRom are you using?
Wich kernel are using my mates? Maybe that is problem, combination firmware and kernel...
Regards
using latest OmegaRom... as mentioned... first happened in CheckROm and even in Wanam...
Was using siyah kernel... so now testing Perseus and see wtr this happened or not...
Just happened when I have monster warlord running and locked it.. when I unlock... it happened again... must be something like not enuf ram or went into deep sleep... very strange indeed. Nevertheless change to Perseus to test out different kernel for now...

Same happened with my phone. Go to see what it's up to and suddenly its not responding. The only option is to hold power down until it reboots.
It would also do it on in coming calls and managed to delete a text which arrived shortly before it froze.
Hoped upgrading to the latest firmware would help, didn't. Going without root, nope. Freezing apps in Titanium, still no joy.
Finally this morning I had enough and went for a full wipe. Very little installed but no problems since.
Would suggest doing the same, especially if you plan to sell the phone anyway.

Have the same problem with mine, using the latest wanam stock rom and every now and again the phone will either just restart or lock with the screen off (led notification will keep blinking however).
Just trying the official Vodafone rom now through Odin. If this doesn't solve it I think the phone will have to go back.
To note: issue appeared after installing some root apps. Notably adfree and beats drivers. Anybody else have either installed?

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?
I have now updated again using kies with the official 4.1.2. I have no problems with restarts when using the stock apps. I have however had issues with the google servers and now believe this to have been the main reason for the crashes earlier (Christmas new phone activation traffic?).
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.
Also worth noting that adfree now states that a newer version is available when loading up, but non exists (that i know of?)

I am not selling it to some innocent 3 person I am exchanging it with note 2 by paying the difference amount at a local Samsung retail store (just sending back there own Frankenstein to them)
And about culture my friend I don't need a lesson from a person who doesn't even have the sensibility to understand that his comments can hurt others(u started It fIrst)..
As today Is my last day in the s3 forum I don't want to sign off on a bitter note so sorry if I have hurt u in anyway.

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?

I can't say for sure, but around Wednesday isn't unreasonable.
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.

I do run AdFree, and yeah, I saw the notice about the new version - it's a different app entirely... still called AdFree, uninstall the old one, and install the new one. Not sure why they did that.
I'm at a loss - I just reinstalled XELL4, and it's still doing it. Short of doing a full wipe and starting afresh (which I really can't be bothered with), I don't know what else to try. Was working fine up until now.
