i Have a Samsung Vibrant Rooted with cm7 installed. But i went to flash to a new rom and now Clockworkmod gives me an error of cant mount sd card.Any ideas
u wil need to odin back to stock and when u do make sure u check re-partition if ur coming back from cm7! When ur back at stock and u still have the same problem let us know?
if u have problems getting into dl mode from there:
power off phone
pull out battery
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 .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
OK i have Tried ODIN.... Is clockwork recovery the same as download mode? and if not what am i missing? :more details: I can mount the internal sd to the computer from clockwork but clockwork wont mount the sd to the phone. I downloaded Kies mini and installed drivers for the vibrant. I have odin and the tar and pit files. i have the android sdk also... any help is greatly needed. Thanks.
turn on odin and hook up ur phone to ur pc with usb cable and then go into download mode. U should see a yellow icon saying com if it is yellow then ur phone has been recognized. Then put the pitfile in pit and the tar file with pda and then click start. Give it like 5 to 10 min and then it will restart and u will be back at stock!
download mode is the android guy with a yellow triangle
to go into download mode:
power off phone
pull out battery
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!

After using odin i get to system recovery 2e. but the phone will not boot, it passes the sgs screen but then black screen, the buttons on the bottom still act responsive. I was on CM7 could this be the issue?
the same problem
i'm on CM7 19
Go back a few builds (CM7)...it is a known bug.
*hint--read the comments on the nightlies before flashing.

Searching was a mess of incoherent threads (or maybe I don't know how to search correctly).
I am on Bionix V and with voodoo lagfix from Nero V5. I want to Odin back to stock and apply the 2.2 update. I am giving my phone to my dad and he wants it stock as a rock.
I disabled the lagfix via CWM and let it do its thing. When it booted back up, the file structure was different (obviously) and all of my files were "gone"...which I didn't care about since I already backed everything up.
The problem is my PC would NOT see the Vibrant via ADB. In fact, I couldn't even get it to show up as a removable drive. I re-enabled Voodoo, file structure came back, and bam, my PC recognizes it as usual.
What am I doing wrong?
Well if your gonna go back to stock the disable voodoo in cwm , reboot and let it convert back to rfs and boot up. Hold your power button to get the Power options screen and go to Download Mode. Open ODIN, plug your phone into your pc and add the 512.pit to PIT and your .tar flash file to PDA, makes sure repartition is not check and you have a yellow COM port showing and hit Start.

So manually placing it in download mode is the missing link?
I always did
adb reboot download
to put in download mode before.

If it's booting to recovery and not dl mode, you've done it wrong.
Make sure it's only vol + and vol - and then USB.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
nope i am doing it over and over it just goes to a cwm screen and says waiting for usb to mount
As it says in op on front page!!! make sure u can get into dl mode before flashing cm7! Could u get into dl mode before??? keep trying and if it doesnt work maybe a usb jig would work.
ill get one of those usb jigs lol but yes i could get into dl mode before

To be frank... bootloaders are dangerous. Does not sound good.
Do you see ANY lights? What about when charging? Anything? Removed the battery for a few hours and try again... nothing? May want to tell T-Mo you had an incident with mini kies, or be honest and get a new phone.
I installed Supervibecm7 1.5 about a month ago and everything seemed to be running nicely but then this morning i wake up and my phone is stuck in bootloop i cant get into recovery to fix it either. I need help very bad as this is my work phone.
Get into Download mode and Odin to JFD. Reflash the ROM or flash a different one.
Im having this exact issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155364&highlight=boot+loop which is preventing me from doing either recovery or download mode.
