turn off phone and get into download mode and odin back to stock and if u cant do that then try usb jig.
2 only options

If you are not familiar with using odin, try the "going back to stock" link in my signature.

If your hardware is locked then you can't get into download mode and consequently not being able to go to stock. To know if you're hardware locked, take the SD card and SIM off, now insert back the battery while pressing the volume buttons and plugging in the USB cable. This should get you to the yellow download screen.
And yes, you don't have to be rooted to go back to stock 2.2, you can use Odin to and flash JK2.
Oh and yes you can unroot with superoneclick. I think there's an option there next to root if Im not mistaken.

Thx for replying fast.=)um if I use superoneclick to unroot sill it go back to stock 2.1 or cm7 the Tom I'm using nw?sry real noob here..just got my vibrant last week n screwed it.=_=
Is there any other way to downgrade/replace cwm 3 to 2 other then flash to stock?Thx really much.=D

No, unrooting doesn't effect your rom/kernel. And no there isn't any other way right now, sadly.

For the thousand times, rooting/unrooting doesn't change whatever rom you're on. Regardless of what that maybe. If you do as per the guide you'll be ok, check the youtube video and do as he does, it aint rocket science.
Besides, JK2 aint called "Froyo that doesn't brick" for nothing

im stuck with the same probelm,
if i'll flash a 2.2 kernel on top will it restore/enable the option to flash other 2.2 roms using clockworkmod?

Your also stuck on clockworkmod 3?0.0
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

1. Have a 2.2 rom on your SD card
2. Download the file attached at the end.
3. Put it on your sd card
4. When you get to CWM, click apply update.zip from sd card, you should then find yourself in CWM 2.5.1.2 where you can flash 2.2 roms.

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

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?

Did you flash the stock tar and pit files?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes i did from 2 different people on 2 different computers( Home and work)
I even watched some youtube videos on how to do it so i couldnt possibly mess up the written directions
Try to flash a 2.2 voodoo kernel with odin. If the flash is successful, use three button method to get into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
where would i get the 2.2 from and how do i use odin to do it.
I know it sounds like a stupid question but i really want to make sure i dont mess up.
Thank you very much for your help

Get into download mode and make sure odin sees your device. If it does, take one of the 2.2 odin kernel files found in that link above, and place it in the pda slot in odin. Flash and hope for the best.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
none of the links work it just keeps taking me to a blank page or the general xda forums
Sweet they work now for some reason or another..
and now instead of looping it just stays at the vibrant screen

Don't do this as this will wipe your backups and apps and all other data on your internal sd card. Use euguenes froyo that does not brick, then when you get stuck at the clockwork recovery screen using that (this is normal) odin back to stock using this:

could be the culprit, try port 1 on your pc if you know it.. also no root necessary, just odin cwm and whatever rom you choose to flash should root you (most do automatically nowadays). if you're staying stock the super-one-click root method will do the job for ya

Nope cwm is for flashing zip files, odin is used to push tar files, since your pushing cwm to the phone you can three finger boot into cwm 1 time after pushing it with odin and you have to flash a new kernel right then and there or cwm won't stick, and you would have too re-odin cwm (the stock samsung kernel overwrites recovery on every boot)
Root, or root access is just super user permission to "unlock the ability to have access to all the phones files so in this case root access and cwm have no relationship
A dirty usb can certainly cause some issues...just for reference..I use odin 1.7

if you have the GB bootloaders just flash over like a normal rom
if you dont have the bootloaders use an odin version of the rom you want to flash then flash updates with rom manager
so to odin it, i dud need my exact rom and then the GB boot loaders as the PDA?

might not need the bootloaders to odin it but you cant see recovery without the bootloaders but with the odin files voodoo sometimes messes up and you need to go to recovery to disable it so you'll need the bootloaders
just flash the bootloades with odin and flash the rom over whatever you're on, probably the easiest way
the GB bootloaders sits at setup connection and never starts

yeah there is an option that will clear your sd card in odin so you have to watch to make sure its not checked. It happens sometimes
What 2.3 ROM are you planning on flashing? You don't want GB bootloaders if you plan on flashing MIUI or CM7. Any other GB ROM and you will. Good luck!
