[Q] Bricked Vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help! I was putting an gingerbread rom on my phone made by simply honey and it didn't work. It. went though the flash process like normal, but when it was time to reboot, it would only do the samsung vibrant download then it would say not enough space on partishoner then cut off and does the samething again. It won't let me reboot back into clockwork mod screen.
Can someone help me????

Get a stock voodoo kernel by supercurio for Odin and flash that. The use three buttons to recovery and try again or restore a backup or flash a Froyo rom.

Remember it could take voodoo up to ten minutes for the first boot. If not take your battery and sim card out, put back in and odin back to stock. And just in case something funky is in your internal memory from voodoo check the repartition box in odin. But normally you don't check that box.

I forgot to tell u the stock ji6, or stock rom with update has to be run with a backwards compatible kernel or u will get stuck at splash screen. Jdf is different kernel than ji6.

System keeps crashing, please help!

Hey guys! I just rooted my vibrant, changed the os to 2.2 froyo, flashed auxora final custom rom, and finished with the black froyo "skin" and adw launcher pro... however, now I keep running into the problem where my system keeps crashing. It started when I tried to access the camcorder, but now does it quite often...what should I do? Is it just the launcher or something else? Please help with step by step instructions please!
Skin wont work with the lockscreen, obin back

So let me get this straight... If I want to flash a skin or new rom then I do that by flashing the .zip file when in recovery mode. If I want to revert to some system or rom, then I need to use odin to do this? Also, can I use odin to directly flash back to froyo 2.2 using three files found here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799105
Skin are usually flashed with metemorph roms flash with cwm from rom manager, and to go back flash eugennes froyo that wont brick, "or what I do" odin back to 2.1 and start from new so theres no curruption or ghost

Need help please! Odined but cant fully boot

I tried to Odin to stock T-Mo but I cant get passed the Galaxy S boot screen. It just goes black and if I touch the buttons they light up but phone stays black. I tried a number of times also clicked on repartition in Odin. Odin tells me everything passed but when the phones boots ROM Manager screen comes up goes through a check list with one line in red that reads "Data wipe Failed"
Can someone please help me out. Ran Odin many times but I cant get the phone to go back to full stock. I click repartition but it seems Odin does not wipe the internal SD. I am so vexed. Someone help
I have never partitioned. Or whatever. That can cause a soft brick.

I have before in it went well. The phone (my wifes) was bricked to begin with. It would not go past the white vibrant screen. So I Odined back to stock. It goes through the T Mo stick together screen then gets to the Galaxy S animation. But after the galaxy s logo he screen turns black and only if I touch the buttons to the buttons light up. I tried to reflash via Odin a number of times but I cant get the phone to fully boot.
What ROM you had before going back to stock?
Any lagfix? If yes disable it..

You should do it again. No repartition. Wipe data. Dont touch it. Odin will boot up the phone when its fully done.

Okay it also accured to me to try Eugenes. So I did and it worked. But I can not install any programs. It tells me there is not enough space. Then when I look at settings/storage on the bottom it reads 0 space for apps.
Strange no? Any ideas
Thanks to everyone so far. I really appreciate it!
As I understand it as soon as you odin eugenes froyo you have to reset odin get the phone into dl mode again then use odin to put in the stock firmware

he female voice came on, everything went well but when the phone went to reboot it got hung up on the white vibrant screen. So I tried to Odin to JDF stock. Then it would get passed the galaxy S animation and go black screen.
Eugenes froyo works but my app storage is at 0.
arrggg!

I was unable to disable voodoo because it would not boot the first time. (and just to be clear. I was on stock eclair and used JOC kernel/uv/voodoo

Yeah. Tried it on this phone which is my wifes and it bricked for some reason.
You gotta find a way to disable voodoo. Theres a way to disable it by putting something directly into the Voodoo folder but I cant find it =/

Jacs kernel always gave me bricks for some reason. Do what they said again. Flash to eugenes froyo that doesnt brick with repartition checked. Then RIGHT AWAY make sure you have the jfd rom for odin and flash that using odin with repartition unchecked. Dont try to flash a clockwork recovery rom from eugenes froyo that doesnt brick because you arent done fixing it at that point.

once this is fixed if you want voodoo, upgrade to a 2.2 rom and use supercurios own modified kernels. Never had a problem with them.

I cant get to the voodoo folder. I tried every firmware there is and only Eugenes froyo will fully boot. But I cant install any apps so I can get to me system folders so i can see whats going on.
Im so stressed and tired it aint funny.
When I flash a T Mo rom and the phone reboots and goes through a series of line checks (yellow text) I get red text that reads "data wipe failed". Then the phone boots, t mo jingle, then galaxy s screen, then black.
Anyone??? Devs? PLease?
Do you have root explorer?

Can't get to Clockwork recovery

Hello all, I'm hoping I can get some help. I cannot get passed stock recovery to Clockwork recovery. I am rooted and have done this many times so I know that you have to reinstall packages to get there, sometimes twice, but I have done it repeatedly and it keeps going back to stock recovery. Any ideas?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Maybe install ROM Manager and reflash the ClockworkMod Recovery?
You may need to check if you are indeed rooted check by manually going into Download mode, if that works you may need to reflash CWM, if not then you may need to reroot the phone
I've tried going though rom manager and it takes me to the same stock recovery. Reinstalling packages isn't working. I used Odin, went back to stock, used samsung kies mini to update to Froyo, Super one click root, and then 3e recovery. I'm not sure if I'm musing something but I've fine all of this before and had no issues until now.

I'm also having a problem with this, but it didn't start until after I flashed CM7 for Vibrant. Now the i9000 boot up goes before the Vibrant one, as well as not being able to get into CMW.
I finally got into recovery, had to reinstall packages about 45 times. Thanks for the help anyway

[q] stuck at startup screen

I was trying out CM7 nightlies but the bugs were overwhelming, and when I tried to restore my previous ROM through Clockworkmod it couldn't find the boot image. I rebooted and have been stuck on the Vibrant/Samsung startup screen ever since. Can anyone help?
Ur just gonna have to pull the battery and odin back to stock. Then root and flash cm 7 but dont forget to wipe
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I agree. What was the ROM you tried to restore? was it a 2.3 gingerbread ROM as well as CM7? or was it a 2.2 ROM that you tried to restore while still running 2.3 CM7?

CM uses a different file system from other ROMs (MTD/yaffs2) which means your old ROM's kernel won' t be able to read the file systems on the phone. You need to Odin back to stock with a re-partition, re-root, re-install clockwork and re-flash.
There a sticky on how to use Odin, and how to get into download mode here:

no harm no foul!
as soon as i saw the word 'kernel' here i knew what i'd done. i did try restoring back to gingerclone 2.2 while still running cm7. wah wah. but no harm, it was my girlfriend's phone and she's already back from tmo with a brand new galaxy s 4g. thanks for the replies fellas
