Ok, I was restoring my phone to stock with odin following these stpes
Disable Voodoo
Odin to eugenes froyo that wont brick
sticks at vibrant screen
tried odining to JFD
odin completes but still hangs at the vibrant screen
I have tried with and with out repartition checked and I am able to enter and exit download mode freely, I have tried 3 differnt versions of odin and 2 different downloads of the pda and pits. Any help would be great.
EDIT, Odin is finishing at the pass stage when the phone attempts to boot Currently flashing the JI6 seeing if it works.
Still not getting anywhere, I have now tried to odin to eugenes froyo, JFD, JI6, all which end the same with out a boot screen, I can get download but no recovery.
From my understanding when you flash eugenes froyo that wont brick the boot animation should change to the international one, mine has not done that so I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with the flashes themself.
How long did you wait after flashing the stock firmware? The first boot usually takes a while after an Odin. Did Odin finish flashing everything to the point that it said restart in blue?
You can find instructions to revert to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
I've gotten myself out of some pretty bad "bricks" with JFD and ODIN... make sure you also use the stock .pit file and you can check repartition, use JFD and should fix you right up.
I have waited for 10-15 minutes after it says restart and then sometimes after it says pass, and I have done to jfd and stock pit.
left phone at boot fell asleep woke up hr or so later still at vibrant screen, still cannot access recovery but can access download mode.
To OP. What custom rom did you run before flashing back to stock? Have you recovered?

I was on axura the newest one and did not like it that much tbh had tons of processes starting nonstop and was constantly down to 35m of memory while idle. No I have not recoverd, I have flashed every combo I can think of with ODIN but alas have had no luck.
Currently it is being warrantied out for a free replacement.

So tired.... I am in the same boat. But I get to flash Eugenes froyo but i have 0 room in app storage. Then When I try to Odin to stock JFD and stock .pit it all goes well untill I get to recovery and it tells me in red text "data wipe failed"
The phone reboots and goes black after the galaxy s animation.
You think samsung will fix it for me? I go the phone in July 2010.
To OP.
have you tried flashing eugenes froyo that doesn't brick? I can't understand why a lot of these bricks are happening right now. Especially when you do flash your phone back to stock.

How would I know if samsung will fix it.. I called tmobile said it got bricked while doing JI6 boom problem solved. Their support is not that great though he was having me try to access root by calling it a secert master menu, then asked if i tethered my comp to it but his definition of tether was syncing files I was just playing dumb and letting him ask me his questions

Rooting your device and flashing custom roms onto it voids your warranty from t-mobile. You are wasting your time trying to see if they will help, This is NOT in their job description. They might laugh at you.
@OP Try flashing to a TRUE stock firmware, I personally would not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom, does that make sense? You should go back to t-mobiles legit 2.1. There is a link in the Bible here under the Dev forum. But, The link is broken. So Ive uploaded it here http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg
Don't give up on odin yet, try things like changing your usb ports on the computer, this has worked for me. I also have a video tutorial using odin, it might be of some help to you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10207377&postcount=1

have changed usb cord, port, computer, have flashed jfd ji6 froyo that wont brick, 512 pit,513 pit,and they have not laughed at me in anyway they are sending my new phone now and a g2 to try out soo either way I have something soon. I also was going from axura to stock to a custom rom not from one to the other and I do know how to use odin, I know what I am doing just need help figuring this one out has to be something im missing or its just not gonna work. 50 odins and nothing kinda says it all.
I am in the same boat.. tried ODIN + stock ROM from various sources, nothing seems to work.. am I out of luck ??
so im trying to help my cousin out he wanted me to return his phone to stock because he was having issues with mms and gps. it was on one of the bionix roms i cant remember which version thou. so i was reading all this morning trying to figure out the best way to unroot and odin seemed to be the easiest. i followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475) and everything went perfect and when the phone began to boot it showed the 3 boot screens (samsung vibrant, pink stick together, then the blue one with the lil jingle that says galaxy s) and then the screen just goes black and nothing happens.. i have to take the battery out and i can still get into download mode and the android system recovery but idk what to do. ive tried redoing odin back to stock but always the same outcome. for the past 2 hours ive been non stop searching but cant find anything that will help if someone could shed some light on what i need to do that would be awesome. ty
I'll grab the link in a minute and post it for ya. You should try flashing eugene's froyo that doesnt brick via odin, let it reboot to recovery. Pull the battery, boot back to dl mode, then flash the stock jfd via odin selecting repartition the last flash. Be sure you can get to dl mode with the volume button- plug in usb method before flashing the froyo that doesnt brick, you'll need to boot back to dl mode that way after the battery pull.

When the phone is rebooting how long does the screen stay black, after the first boot of changing a kernel or any system files the dalvik cache needs to be rebuilt and can take some time (upto 5 minutes) on the first boot. My suggestion is to make sure and use jfd tar file and 512 pit file and then just let the phone sit for about 15 minutes after odin says pass. Once you get a pass from odin the phone is going to work unless something in the tar or pit files was damaged. Just let the phone sit and all should be well.
thanks for the quick replys im going to try both suggestions now and ill get back to u when i find out if they work

The only official 2.2 we have for the vibrant wasnt released as an ota. You can snag it through Kies or KiesMini, but it was my understanding that it messed up some peoples sd cards. If youre looking for 2.2, and you want it as stock as possible, your best bet is to dl and flash one of Whitehawkx Ka6, KA7, or KB1 roms in the developement forum. My Loki build is 2.2, but far from stock, and we have a bunch of roms out here that are going to run better than any ota update.

I am running on EA28 firmware. all the threads tell about DL09. any difference?
Not to be an ass or anything, but if you can't figure out how to root the phone, find a stickied thread, or what needs done to flash ROMs, than you should stay away from 2.2 until you can. Odds are, you'll end up flashing something you shouldn't and it will be harder to get back to a working phone. Read through the threads and stickies first and gain an understanding of how to accomplish whatever it is you want to do.

I was able to root while on EA28, but make sure you read the "Note to Stock Users" at the bottom of the first post on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470
If you are new to rooting or new to rooting this phone, you really need to read the instructions carefully (no skimming!) a few times before starting. It took me about three hours to root and install DL30 the night I got my phone (including time I goofed things up).
Good luck!

Slow down!

In contrast you seem to be just jumping in...
For now, if you're phone don't work, search for the di01 all in 1 package and use odin to push it to your phone in PDA section.. Only use PDA SECTION..
Then write me back on here telling me exactly what you want. Then ill write you a step by step procedure to get you threre..

You're in the right place, but you really should heed the advice you've already been given and read what's available before you make a costly mistake...
I started with the same stock configuration as you. Thanks to several hard-working devs (adrynalyne; jt1134 and others willing to document steps for us noobs), I'm now running Froyo with all the functionality I've been after since I bought this thing... Honestly, it's like a new phone.
EVERY question and glitch along the way had already been addressed on these forums - it's all there for the searching.
Also, I gather that folks will more patiently assist you if you *do* get into a fix if it appears you're willing to first RTPFM (read the proverbial f#$%^&* manual .
best of luck with it.

im in a soft brick, used aio toolbox to try to flash to stock from 2.2 and now my phone just flashes the vibrant logo and the battery icon with the loading circle thing over it, ive been to 4 or 5 different forum threads about fixing it using odin but nothing has worked. odin goes through the whole process ad says it passes but nothing, still stuck. im about to go to tmobile and either talk my way into a new one or pay the insurance deductible for a new one and forget about all this rooting stuff, but if someone can walk me through fixing it in the next day or two, ill donate via paypal
When you used Odin did you get into the download mode? And which files/ROM did you use with flashing Odin?
You need to use Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick and the stock JFD Eclair ROM that comes with our phone (Stock ROM). I was in your position when I didn't disable voodoo while going to a different ROM once. That scared me to death lol.
If you're phone starts you can fix it. Read the stickies and find the noob guide for Odin then donate to OP.
If you can get into download it is easily fixable.
In the noob section there are methods to getting into download mode. Try this one first, :
Remove the battery, remove the sim and remove sd card. Get Odin up on the computer and plug the usb cord into the computer not the the phone. Holding both volume rocker buttons down at the same time plug the phone into the usb that should get it to go in to download mode. There are variants of this method, like ... do the same but keep the battery in. Or, go into recovery mode and then do the same thing with it on. Read the noob guide by S15274N he has all of them posted and explained.
If none of these work for you, then Buy a jig from Connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com) for 8 bucks it will get you into Download mode. You can find him in the forum or that website. It works without effort. YOU SHOULD BUY ONE ANYWAY.
Once in ODIN :
You will need a stock JFD Tar file, pit512 file
1 Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
2 You want to check the 're-partition' box.
3 Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
4 Then, root the phone (use superoneclick) then Download Rom manger open it into flash CWM. Then you can flash your new Rom.

Appreciate that man. To the OP, this is easily fixed... oka1 has you on the right path. If you need help, just PM me... I spent 2 hours with a guy last week doing this, rooting him afterwards and getting him a custom ROM... no money was given.
ODIN is the answer. The noob guide has at the bottom of the OP a subject called the ALT METHOD. It will fix your phone, give a leaked froyo (upgrade it later), root and a recovery.... just by pressing like 3 buttons.
i have the jfd tar and both the 512 pit and 513 pit, have tried them both and both with repartition checked and unchecked, tried every combination i could think of even used all 4 of my usb ports, still nothin. in odin when i goes through the process itll say RESET in blue then after about 2 minutes itll say PASS in green, but my phone will just have the battery icon on it with the loading wheel thing over it....thats it everytime. i get into download mode just fine btw
T959UVJFD and s1_odin_2010512
you will have to odin to eugene's froyo that does not brick then odin jfd and 512
yeah i just got eugenes froyo "that doesnt brick" i may be jumping to conclusions but i think it may need a name change cuz now im bricked....just a complete black screen doesnt do anything no download mode no recovery no nothing

BIONIX 1.3.1
OVERSTOCK
I have tried v1.0 and v1.85 of Odin to fix my boot loop. Both said they were successful but in fact it just changed the boot loop's process. Now all that loops is black screen then the Vibrant screen (which I had never seen before). I also tried one click un-brick but the program will not stay open.
I can not enter recovery mode but can still enter DL mode.
This is all a result of trying to install the cyanogenmod using their wiki site (can't post links yet). I had completed installing Clockworkmod recovery as directed by the wiki site. It started when rebooting after installing Cmenard's Overstock Kernel.
Anyone who experienced this and was successful in fixing please do help.
Which file did you used when you used odin?
I used 2. The T959UVJFD.TAR and the 512.rar. I used winzip to extract them for Odin.
I did pretty much exactly what the link says. I tried checking repartition on the 4th try or so as well, sorry I can't post links yet....

Ummm usually reverting back to stock jfd through odin always works..
Many of us have been in bootloops before this one is different simply because CM7 is typically an easy flash. You may want to get different files they may not have downloaded to your computer correctly and then try to flash them using Odin. That's the only thing I can assume is the issue at this point.

Not really sure what other files to use. Every search I do for restoring to factory settings finds the ones I used. I will try them with odin 1.3 until I find new files.
Wondering if my samsung driver isn't installed properly. Will Odin even read it if it's not?
OK so, I screwed up. I have a sgs4g, DOH. Gona make a thread in the sgs4g section but help is still appreciated if anyone has some.
Exact same issue.
I had the same issue. Actually got it to boot and everything but everything past the Modem step was scrubbed everytime in Odin because the wrong partition was applied. You get this issue if you use the PIT from a Galaxy Vibrant on a Galaxy S 4G.
I was under the impression that the phone I was modding was a Vibrant. Took me a few hours but I eventually got to the bottom of it after reading every Vibrant thread from beginning to end. Here is a link to the post that saved my night.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12806682&postcount=15
The proper PIT file for the Galaxy S 4G. So everyone with this issue just continue as normal and install a current ROM with this PIT.
On a side note.... all these damn Galaxy phones are confusing. No wonder I never wanted one. I am just fine with Motorola devices... The Optimus series is at least a bit better with the letter branding for each carrier. Galaxy series are all just galaxy...
