I installed the Voodoo Kernal for eclair. Everything went smooth, but now I'm stuck with the Vibrant screen. I don't have a back up because I couldnt get on the clockwork recovery, my reason for flashing this Kernal...
Is there any way I can get the stock Kernal back? or did I hardbrick my phone?
You need to odin back to stock Read up on this in the Noob guide in the General section By S15274N
Here is the basic thing you need to do but go read up @ the noob section as well..
1. Open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
2. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
3. You want to make sure the 're-partition' box is checked.
4. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box.
5. Then, download Rom manager then>root the phone you will have to go into recovery and boot into there twice to see the cwm red menu. Once there you can flash a rom that is already loaded into the int sd card and flash your new Rom.
Thanks a lot. Much easier than I thought it was going to be.

i flashed clockwork recovery and then kings kernel then when i reboot it goes to the big s then the screen turn black
i tried wiping all the user data and cache and it still does the same thing?
can i get out of this situation or am i bricked for life i justgot my vibrant today!
How long did you let it sit on the black screen for? That has happened to me before but after a few minutes it booted with no issues. Good news is your not bricked for life.
it is till on the black screen i try to flash jacs kernel and halfwy it stop and automatically goes to the main clockwork recovery menu?
i tried using odin but it wont recognize my phone even after i put it in download mode
If your running ji6 you have to flash kernel back support first then the custom kernel or you will get stuck at vib screen.
Bionix Final w/JACs UV/0C
okay i flashed stock ji6 with odin and now it is still stuck at the Big S screen
Take the battery and sim card out then odin back to ji6. After that if you want a custom kernel for ji6.first down load the kernel back support zip, then the custom kernel zip. Go into clockwork recovery flash kernel back support then flash custom kernel then reboot.

i dont want the kernel all i am saying is that i have already went back ji6 3 times and it always gets stuck at big s screen

If only you were here on october
I was so scared I thought I bricked and since I was new to odin I didn't know how to use. People told me to use kernel back suport and stuff
What would've happened if there was no eugenes froyo? It would just keep getting stuck on galaxy s screen even if going to stock

I accidently flashed wrong kernel this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982148
while i was on stock rom with stock kernel!
how can i go back! :S
i can get into CWM Recovery, but cant flash anything. Im on clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 now!
what can i do?
Need to fix it urgently!
For future reference you can only use CM7 kernels with CM7 roms. Your going to have to Odin back to stock kernel. In CM7 you can only get into download mode with 3 buttom method. Im assuming you know how to Odin?
i did reflash using odin, but now the phone turn on and i see the tmobile screen, followed by the samsung animation, the s, after which the screen turns blank. the touch sensitive buttons respond, i can see the light change as i touch them, but i see no difference on the screen. what should i do?
Do this,
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.

You flashed wrong kernel.
EDIT: I made it short above just to let you know im trying to help. You flashed a kernel for GT-i9000, the international model, not SGH-T959, our Vibrants. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929 and download USB driver for your PC. Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625 and download Odin v1.7. And go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 and download one of Odin flashable .tar Voodoo kernels, KA6, KA7 or KB1 preferably. Try match it with your ROM just to be safe.
Install the USB driver. Then extract Odin3 v.1.7.rar and run the executable. Leave Odin open. Turn off your phone by pulling out battery, plug USB cord to your phone and to your PC, press and hold volume up and down buttons, and insert battery. You should be in Download mode, and Odin will recognize your phone and display a COM#. Now click on PDA button and select the .tar file you downloaded earlier. And press Start button and wait untill everything is finished and your phone reboots.
The initial boot may take a bit as Voodoo will convert your filesystem into ext4. You will hear voice telling you what's going on. And you should be good to go.
Just in case above instruction doesn't work (I personally never flashed an i9000 kernel), try reverting everything back to stock. Doing so will require a couple of additional files.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and download JFD Odin Image and 512 PIT file. Extract PIT file first. Then launch Odin, put your phone into Download mode, and in Odin press PIT button and select the 512 PIT file you just downloaded. And press PDA button and select JFD .tar file. This time make sure Re-Partition option is selected. And press Start. This take a bit longer than just flashing a kernel, but no longer than 5 minutes. Once you're back to stock (original released in July 2010), flash any other ROM of your choice.

I did the exact same thing just a few days ago. I asked on this forum and got some great help. I downloaded the new Odin Software v1.3 and also downloaded the stock Vibrant software. Put them all on your computer,extracted, and hold down just the 2 volume keys then plug in your usb cable. This will put you into download mode. Look in the Odin program and it should recognize your phone, if it doesnt then youll have to download the drivers again. Its in the Vibrant Bible. After all of that upload the Rom to the pda section in Odin and make sure you dont click anything else then push start. This will take a few minutes to load then your phone will reboot and your back to stock. This worked for me hope it works for you.
Thanks everybody, I used Baywolf's, hope his name is spelled correctly, Vibrant toolbox and got into Odin and reflashed my phone back to 2.1 stock, them Samsung Kies to 2.2 stock. Thanks for the replies
im having the same problem except that when i reflash my phone to stock and try to turn on my phone again it wont...i have to reflash it everythime i want to turn it on and it deletes everything everything
Hey guys sorry for my noobiness, im actually a MT4G user but my brother is having trouble with his vibrant.
The Vibrant was rooted and had roms flashed on it, and became bricked bad enough where i could not reach recovery mode. I ran ODIN on it but it flashed to an AT&T Rom with the AT&T bloatware and what not on it with the boot screen. So it isnt allowing to connect to any mobile networks.
What i was wanting to do was simply just root the phone again since this rom wasnt rooted that ODIN installed, that way i could just restore a backup and bam. But I have the device rooted and rom manager installed, but i cannot get clockwork to flash properly. Rom manager shows that the recovery was successfully flashed but boots into the stock recovery. I try to reinstall packages like youre suppose to and i constantly get the verification error. Ive tried numerous update.zips and none will verify correctly.
All i need is to get into clockwork or another recovery so i can restore a backup. Any suggestions? Thank you for the help in advance. Sorry if this is confusing
odin to stock as 2.1 is alot easier to work with then 2.2, then follow these instructions:
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper tar file in pit and the .pda file in pda in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
Once ur there flash clockwork as it will be easier u may have to reinstall packages twice for it to turn from blue to green. then go from there
Thanks Movie! Worked like a charm
Ok so today i finally figured out how to root my Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3g+(Telus and now as I'm going through trying to install custom roms i see that it only uses 3e and not CWR
Is there any solution to my problem and yes I have been looking around the forums for a almost 3 hours and now have become mildly enraged seeing no support for my phone
well, I have been going through alot of the same stuff with my Telus fascinate too.I don't think im capable of writing a full guide, but I can tell you the basics about how I got to CM7 with a working stable kernel.
First Odin back to stock 2.2
A. Download Odin (attached) and the Telus JL3 stock files http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C3DQ1LZF
B. Open Odin, and put the files in the appropriate boxes
s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"
T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"
T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"
SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"
C. Boot into download mode by turning phone off, then holding "Volume Down" while connecting the phone to the computer
D. The first "ID:COM" box should turn yellow and show a numerical COM port
E. Click "Start" and wait for it to finish and reboot, and unplug the phone after the yellow box turns green and says "PASS"
next

Odin this file using the "pda" part of odin. Let your phone boot up and go through the voodoo lagfix. Once your booted up, it might be a good time too root your phone again.
also this might not be needed, but if you get no service once your on your custom rom.this can help.
So while still on stock, download an app called "nitrality" perform an efs backup. Then copy the "insanity" folder from your phone to somewhere safe.
ok, now that your rooted and have a cwm recovery, reboot into recovery and flash the custom kernel zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18268484&postcount=3865
CM7_SGS_20111009_NEO_17-voodoo-col_BLN.zip is what I use
pull battery and reboot into recovery once more. From there flash your rom, CM7 in my case.
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxysmtd
After installing the rom, again reflash the platypus kernel, and your all good to go.
If you have no service, then put that "insanity" folder on your phone, install nitrality and perform the efs restore.
Sorry for the all over the place guide.

EDIT: so at the http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxysmtd what did you mean my CM7 in your case
EDIT2: Ok so now that platypus is installed my phone is now looping from the SGH screen to Platypus and then for about a second it shows recovery mode
I used the stable RC of cm7. galaxysmtd
I apologize for the boot looping, im not overly technical. Just, those are the steps that got me up and running. Maybe try the other Kernel on that thread?
No its alright. I fixed to looping by flashing the stock froyo. Now i just need to figure out how to not have this happen again
