Vibrant Stock Rom boots after I odin, wipes all the data and everything but then it freezes on a black screen right after the Galaxy S screen. The screen is black and the buttons are highlighted.
Any help is much appreciated.
Flash this in Odin after you disconnect every USB device, take battery out of phone for few minutes, reboot your computer, only plug your phone into a new USB slot.

I thought you only did that if you're running a working rom. Because I flashed this over a custom rom that soft bricked and it worked fine.....but to play it safe, you are right and it's even stated on his thread

I used every type of stock rom there is. Is there anyway to like flash an actual rom like other than the stock ones? I'm on Stock 2.2 now but the sd card just isn't working. Only 1 drive mounts and thats the drive that had avatar on it.

My bad man, I forgot to add that It flashes the stock 2.2 froyo. I just cant use my internal sd card. So all i can do is use wifi, service features, but cannot download apps and other stuff like that. The build number: Froyo.UVJK2 is the one it works almost as usual.
So far I have tried to format the sd card and even restore factory reset but nothing has worked.

Which kernel are you using? Settings, about, kernel. Just to make sure you flash the correct file.
It says that I don't have enough memory to download any apps.
Am I supposed to Odin that?
First tell me which kernel you have so I can tell you which file to use with Odin.

I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

That's only needed if he flashed a rom with the wrong kernel or if he flashed a rom without disabling voodoo .

Just get to DL mode as xtone and I stated in post 2 & 3 . Then flashed to JFD with odin v1.3 and click the repartition box in odin and you'll be fine .

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.
something like this happened to a buddy of mine, i'm trying to fix it, but the guy was completely stock so it makes no sense... I've tried everything, and i cant seem to find eugenes files...

Well, upon inspection of a the Nero V3 build I had downloaded, there was a ROMManager.apk there. So I pushed it onto my phone, reflashed to CWR (had to do it about 3 times) and reinstalled Nero V3.
After installing the build, I was able to re-enable voodoo and its theres no more MD5 craziness when I access the Recovery

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
hello i was trying to follow the noob guide posted in the stickies.
i backed up everything using titanium
i was in the rom manager and when i go to click reboot into recovery the phone has been stuck on the first screen of reboot Vibrant Samnsung. i cant get through it took the battery out and tried rebooting again normally wont go through neither will it do anything if i pressed the volume up and down keys while powering on. any ideas ??
actually there is an update....i tried rebooting with holding down volume keys and the screen tries to go past the initial screen but comes back again to vibrant samsung screen. so it goes away for a second or two like its about to load the next screen and then back to the initial screen....
any help or guidance or pointers?? phone is still stuck tried alot of different things in the last hour or so....anything would be greatly appreciated....
thanks
Take the battery off, then a sec or two back in. Now attach the USB cable to your mob but not the PC and while holding the volume keys insert the other end of the USB to your PC and let me know how that works.

Do you have your phone plugged into the computer? If so is odin up and running? does odin see your phone port? If so odin back to stock and start over using the toolbox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
before you use ODIN to go back to stock, where you were and not wanting to be, check your PM from the one you sent me earlier.
Exactly what the guys said. If your PC recognized the device then just install Odin and go back to stock. If not, then download the drivers' file in the Noob thread.

will i lose all my app and contacts and stuff ?
Yes you will lose your apps, that's why you have to back them up using an app called titanium backup. Then after you flash your new rom you can restore all of them.
Other than the apps you usually don't lose anything but better safe than sorry, so copy past your vids, pics and whatever you need on your external SD or on your PC before flashing.

odin wipes everything including any lagfix so if it goes into download mode
pull battery to make sure its off, put it back in
use vol up and down and plug usb in with odin open (if it doesnt go first time try a different usb port)
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
Thank you guys for your help.
Something is wrong here, I would say he didn't tell me the truth.
After flashing stock 2.1, I end up with a black screen after the big S logo.
Any thoughts what he may done to the phone? I asked him but he insist on the lagfix wich is obviously not that because I put pit 512 with repartition ticked and didn't work.
could try odin stock 2.2 and see if that works ?? (its rooted btw)

Soo....I kinda f*cked up my phone. I had Bi-Winning for a while and got bored of it, so I decided to flash another rom. I had it for about 2 hours and decided, I wanna flash another one! I went back in my history and this is terrible, but I cannot remember for the life of me which rom I used. It was either Simply Honey, Crazy 8, or MIUI. I honestly can't remember. Anyway, after that I used ROM Manager to flash Biffmod from my SD Card and after it did that, it went into a bootloop. So I tried to get back into Download mode, but it just kept going to the Vibrant screen. THEN, I tried to use Odin without being in Download mode and I didn't realize the TAR file wasn't completely downloaded, ran Odin and it made it even worse. Now every time I try to use the various methods of getting into Download mode, I come across the screen in the attached photo. It's a weird version of CWM Recovery, it says. v2.5.1.0 SOK ULFK. I cannot get passed this screen and into Download mode no matter what I do. HELP!
It also can't mount my SD card.

If it doesn't work the first time don't panic, sometimes it takes me a couple of times to get it to work. If you still can't get into download mode I see a JIG in your future...

Same thing happened. The battery icon screen flashes and then it goes to this weird CWM. What the eff did I do to my phone?
Why not flash a froyo rom like bionix or project v from the recovery menu.
Another thing - When I try to use CWM to reboot into Download mode, the screen Galaxy S GT I9000 pops up and goes back to CWM. I have the Vibrant, and I'm pretty sure those are two somewhat different phones...Why is mine confused?

Well I assume I'd need to actually have the rom to be able to flash it. And when I try to install zip from SD it's unable to mount the SD card.
Someone please help me, I am getting extremely desperate here.
Generally the Galaxy S GT I9000 screen comes up if you have the Gingerbread bootloader flashed. GB Bootloaders don't use the 3 button combo for Download Mode, all you have to do is press and hold Volume Up + Power.
If that doesn't work try flashing a GB ROM. Sadly there's really no way to tell what file system the phone is using in CMW at least not in the version I have, if you can find out that would help a lot though. Since we don't know what file system it's using I'd recommend using a non-CM7/MIUI rom first. Download one of the non-CM7/MIUI GB roms. Plug the phone into your computer and in CMW go to Mounts and Storage and Mount USB Storage. You should then be able to copy the ROM onto your phone and flash it.
I had problem getting to download mode after flashing ported gt I9000 rom .hold down or up, power and home " button" (one puts in recovery the other in download can't remember which)

THANK YOUUUU!!! Oh my goodness. I JUST bought a jig with my gf's card and then I came back to this thread and saw this. Tried it, it worked. Now hopefully I can do the rest without a problem. Thank you again for getting me into download mode.
Word. Glad I could help. The important thing to remember is the Vibrant is a pretty robust phone. It's damn near impossible to brick it so bad you can't recover, so there's rarely any reason to panic. And hey, now you have a JIG on the way just in case you get into some real trouble down the line.

Actually I have one little problem, I am unable to get to CWM Recovery it says there is no update.zip/ "No such file or directory". I need to get going so I'll just leave it as stock 2.1 right now.
Also it's still starting up with the GT I9000 thingy and I just want it back to normal! Haha anyway. Thanks again.
Download the AIO Toolbox, use it to Odin back to stock (the appropriate PIT and PDA files are included with the install), root the phone (again using the AIO Toolbox) and then install ROM Manager and use it to flash CWM.

Have you tried to use ODIN to flash your phone back to a working ROM?
Also, be sure to flash the right ROM.. Verizon Fascinate and Telus Fascinate are 2 different phones..
Well... now theres a problem as ODIN won't see my phone in download mode. :/
Reinstall your USB drivers, and see if your cable is seated properly. If you can get into Download mode, most cables used will allow Odin to recognize. You may have to Odin back to a different ROM like Neo said.
Make sure you have the latest version of Odin

Did it over and over man.
It won't install any ROMS, kernals sure, not zips. If anything, everytime I try to unmount USB in Clockwork Recovery, it blinks and goes back to the previous screen.
Any ideas?
EDIT: The phone now won't get past the bootloader. Cannot get into Clockwork Recovery
when you flash back to stock with Odin... are you using all the fields in the screenshot on that link? eg. Pit, pda, phone, csc or just pda?
because I only use pda and flash the stock .md5 file. i'm out of ideas man... I'm kinda n00b at this myself, just bumping to maybe get a someone's attention.

Every single file, I use to precisely.
It seems like Clockwork recovery just doesn't like me.
I keep bringing this up but I cannot unmount USB storage in Clockwork. Does this mean anything to anyone?

So can you get into download mode and use ODIN to flash or not?
Are you still stuck at bootloader? Please be as descriptive as you can.
And no, I never heard of "cannot unmount USB storage" CWM... I've heard of mounting issues, but not unmounting...
IMHO, I think your best option here is to get ODIN working, then flash to a stock ROM with stock Kernel with PIT (Repartition) then flash CWM 2.5.
I dont see why you would need to unmount? what you can do is remove the battery cover remove the sd card. with the battery still out plug the phone into your usb and hold the volume down button. does it go into download mode then?
Then can Odin see your phone?
Also worst case try a different PC all together.
Are you on VZW or Telus?
I can get into download mode and use ODIN yes.
I am no longer stuck at the bootloader and can boot into stock froyo with ODIN.
I use ODIN to flash stock ROM and kernel, and everytime I flash back CWM 2.5. It won't let me install any ROMs. It gives me a status 7 error and aborts.
CWM just won't work
In case you didn't know, CWM can mount USB just like android so I don't have to boot into the OS to place a file. under mounts>mount USB storage>Unmount/Mount
Everytime I press unmount, the screen blinks and takes me back to the previous screen.
This is a Telus Fascinate.
I had a similar problem. Turns out my USB cable was culprit. Several others have had similar problems. Try a different USB cable.

Oh i am aware of the Feature, what i was saying is it shouldnt affect flashing a rom.
also one thing i noticed is your using an older CWM, which rom are you trying to flash? If it is an MTD like CM7 then you should use the cwm 3 or 4 fixed for cm7

Tried the fix, ODIN starts and then fails in the middle saying NAND write failed.
What could this mean? ODIN fails to install the fix :/
Tried a different cable, so cable is not the issue here.
Can we get one thing straight here though? The phone is not bricked as I can get into ODIN and flash what seems to be only stock files?
As long as Odin can see it you can always go to stock. As long as Odin is ok there is hope.
As i have a Verizon Fassy, I may not be much more help.
Worst case find a Tellus Rom that you can Odin and do that.
Good Luck

Thanks
But any idea as to what would cause a NAND write fail? is the NAND locked or something?
So anyone have any idea?

My brothers dell 14 XPS can't ever flash in ODIN to him phone. Always has to use someone else's computer.
So I suggest you try another computer. Changing ports WONT do anything, neither will cables.
Have you tried heimdall instead of Odin?
