So, I was having a god time with a few buddies, and I got a drink spilt on my vibrant. Everything had made it out ok, except for the usb port. I think a connection has been physically crossed. If I try to turn it on, it starts to load the battery status screen. Once booted, it goes into a constant loop of usb connected/disconnected.
IF I plug usb in, everything is fine.
Until I figure out what I am going to do with this phone, I need to disable usb on the os level.
I am thinking I could write a script to toggle usb. If I have to reboot to load drivers, then that's ok. I am aware that if its disabled, I won't be able to charge. Just need some thing to stop this cycle... Taxes the cpu/battery and sometimes causes a soft boot.
Any ideas guys? I've looked through JAC's init.rc to look for clues, but nothing stood out to me.

Thanks, it seemed to be an os issue, so I started there. my bad.
Did you ever get this resolved? I have read other reports of the same issue, which I now have after installing Eugene's froyo JPM ROM. Not saying it's Eugenes ROM, it's just that it started happening after I installed his ROM two days ago.
I did not spill anything on my Vibrant, it just started happening. I did reinstall a 2.1 kernal (JVibrant OC/UV V1.1 CWM Recovery) and then installed Bionix 1.9.
It is giving me the same issue after doing all of this and I cannot get clockwork recovery to recognize my NAND backups. It just says cannot access folder or something like that.
I'm not sure if I should completely restore to stock via ODIN or if there was another route if indeed you did fix this issue.

Thx, I will give it a try when I get home
Sweeeet! Your guide worked for my Vibrant. Everything is back to normal, thx
Hello
I'm on
R 2.15.50.14
G 15.42.50.11U
D 3.14.04666
I booted, worked, and then I wanted to put an android rom on it. I rebooted and now stuck at the white and green bootscreen.
I think this is referred to by "bricking" the phone?
What are my options?
please please help.
Updated to Artemis v41, worked fine all day, all of a sudden half an hour ago phone stopped responding on incoming text message.. the reboot/shutdown didnt work either.. removed the battery, started again and stuck on same screen.. gonna flash a stock rom through microSD card now.. thats the only option
and where do I get this from?
AHA you download latest stock, press VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and it boots
Don't download latest stock, will have wrong spl. Download semi old stock....
Artemis is built on latest stock base.. it has same spl version, v3.03 so no problem Anyways, I'm gonna flash v1.66 stock ROM through microSD and try EnergyROM
See my post 28576 in the main Artemis thread, I had similar issue. Hopefully fixed now.
wrong section ;P
should have been moved to Q&A.
and yeah... if anything goes to "white" screen while booting... just hard reset your phone... its kind of hard to "brick" your device unless you install things for something else than yout htc.
Laidies and gentlemen,
Here is a problem.
I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 from T-Mobile USA to Android 2.2 and now I can't pick up gsm network at all.
I tried roms JP3, JP3 and JPK. On first two I simply get a crossed circle in status bar. If I pull out sim the phone will not request it at all. If I put sim in and try to search for mobile network, it will not find any.
On JPK I get black screen after S logo and random vibrations.
I even tried JP3 rom with JPK modem and still no gsm/wcdma.
I also tried both PIT 512 for JP2 and JP3 and PIT 803 for JPK.
Also to ensure Odin3 is ok I tried both v1.00 and v1.30.
I am completly pizzled here.
Just to make sure, I am not referring to WIFI or 3G/Edge. I do not have the basic gsm network to make calls.
Any suggestions??
TIA

So, um, which froyo "upgrade" did you use? You know there's not an official one yet, right?
It would have to have been eugene or master's... Or you used one meant for another galaxy s device, which would totally explain your problem.
Sent from my vibrant using XDA App
I could totally be wrong here as it is 5 am here, but are any of the current froyo roms based off of JP3 or JPK? If I recall correctly they are all JPM or JPO based. It definitely sounds like you flashed something that wasn't for your phone, or flashed something incorrectly (seeing as I haven't read anything about JP3 or JPK).
If you can still get into download mode, here's stock JFD for the Vibrant.
And here's the stock kernel, since you probably need that too.

Did you flash the original Galaxy S ROM?
The radios are different in the original GT-i9000 and SGH-T959.
Did you try following Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and flash back to JFD route?
There is also a new ODIN in the wild 1.7 I believe, check the bible in the dev secion.
More details
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
Here are more details and answers fot you:
1. I am currently running JP3 with modem from JPK - that I tried out of desperation, installed via Odin3 1.30. Previously I used JP2 and JP3 on PIT 512.
2. JPK blacks the screen out after S logo and gives random vibrations until I pull the battery out. So you might be right about JPK's incompatibility.
3. I already downloaded JPD but it contains no modem or CSC.
4. Would it make a difference if I rold you that on either JP2 and JP3
- my Vol+ and Vol - keys are reversed
- home button does not work
- in recovery mode OK button does not work
- Vol -/Home/Power combo never worked even on original 2.1 rom
- to get to Donload mode I had to have USB cable attached (but not connected to the PC) press Vol +/- and Power
- the only way I get to Download mode now is by adb

Seriously we doesnt know what u talking about froyo. Vibrant doesnt have any froyo yet, unless u using eugene and other rom. My suggestion is revert it back to stock and wait for update. If u have aGALAXYS INTERNATIONAL phone then u in the wrong place

This guy is all kinds of confused. Shouldn't give these people phones.
Listen: You do NOT install something on your phone that is NOT made for your phone. First problem right there. If you want Froyo on your phone, look in the DEVELOPMENT section under the VIBRANT category. VIBRANT, the phone that you have.
What you need to do is ODIN back to JFD and never touch your phone again.
Go into download mode and open up ODIN 1.7 and use the CORRECT PIT FILE for your phone and the JFD firmware. All of this can be found in the development section.
Actually, I'll be nice and show you exactly where.

You didn't answer the earlier questions--where did you get these ROMs? Are you flashing ROMs from the i9000 dev board?
There is no SGH-T959 Froyo update which is why you're having these problems.
Odin back to stock JDF then flash Eugene's Froyo if you're looking to run it. Or wait a few weeks and we'll have the update...maybe.

I had the same thing happen to me last night with my phone not detecting the gsm.
This is what I did, I not tech savvy, but I did I did not like the 2.1 OTA update for the sgh-t959, my phone was laggy everywhere. So I researched and researched about froyo for the Vibrant, and you guys are right there is no OTA update, but it was made possible through the mini kies, first in the UK, then finally the U.S. after I updated everything was great. This is after the fact that a friend of mine said I should root my phone and flash the (cynogen???) custom rom. I have rooted my phone through the super on click method, but I decided I didn't need to go beyond that and I haven't, it's still rooted. SO, I was trying to use an app while at the grocery store, and my phone froze, hasn't happened since I had 2.1. I turn it off and when I turn I off, the home screen never loads, it's completely black except for the status bar at the top. The media scanner keeps on scanning and there is the universal no symbol there. scared the **** out of me.
So I pulled the battery, took it home and plugged it in to charge, let it charge turned it on and left it alone all night without looking at the screen to see if it booted up. I woke up this morning and I was lucky it loaded fine. Can someone please advise me as to what I did?or why this might have happened?

LOL can someone please translate this because I have the same problem - the phone is unable to detect any GSM network. I flashed the deodexed KB5 stock 2.2 ROM, but had no luck with 2.1 either.
Who's your sevice provider? I'm wondering if it has to do with at&t's acquisition of t-mobile. At least in my case.

Try to flash radio/modem... same issue was with me when i upgraded to 4.1.... now its no longer issue for me

Right, so my i5503T (Australian) was having some wi-fi troubles. I looked it up, and it was suggested to me that I upgrade to Cyanogenmod 7 (for Galaxy 5). Anyway, I installed Clockworkmod, it was fine, then I hard reset the phone (through Clockworkmod) and from then on, when booting it got to the flashing samsung, and stayed there for over 3 hours. After that I turned it off. I did the stupid thing, and went ahead installing Cyanogenmod. Now, as soon as I turn it on, it says 'ANDROID' in small white text in the top-right corner of the screen, and won't go away, EVER. ANY help would be very much so, I got the phone as a gift for chistmas..... *facepalm*
Thanks.
EDIT: It was (natively?) running Froyo before I broke it, and I would like to get it back there, or better (Cyanogenmod).
I have a working Eclair rom (2.1), but I don't want to use it...
Are you able to get it into download mode at all?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Yea, I can get into download mode fine, but booting up, not so much.
Update: I used Check Fus Downloader to get firmware, had to use New Zealand as there was no actual Aussie model availible (???). Anyway, I flashed it with odin 4.28 (please tell me it is the right version!) and it is doing the same thing, with the flashing Samsung logo and all. Also, it vibrates once, then three times a few seconds later, then repeats every.... ummm, 30 secs?
Hey, I'm not an expert on this subject but I have messed around with my Galaxy 5 a lot, I broke it 4 times, but I'm guessing your problems could be fixed by;
Shove your device into Download Mode.
Use Odin to flash Clockwork Recovery.
It should now reboot into CW recovery.
Clear dalvik cache, cache and do a reset.
That might sort out any problems as my phone did this after my first flash but clearing the above sorted it out, if that doesn't work then do the same again but then; try flashing another rom onto your device, and see how it goes.
Somebody with more knowledge should correct my post if need be.

try removing your battery and let it out for few minutes, 2 min is enough, than insert the battery and reboot..
hope that solve your loop..
P.S.: did you do a wipe?
Could it have anything to do with the fact I have a i5503T, and that the ops is i5508?
OK, well it's fixed now, sorry for the trouble. It turned out I was missing one of the cyanogenmod files. Soooo, yeah I fell like a massive idiot, but everything turned out fine and well. Cyanogenmod is heaps better than Froyo, so I'm glad about that. Thanks all.

I just got a vibrant from another xda forums user, and the guy restored to stock 2.1 rom but when I plugin a charger or usb it reboots and stays black, I have already used odin 2 times to flash back to stock, still the problem persists, is there a fix?
I can enter download mode btw
thank you

I found this in Google. Don't know if this will help you or not, but about 3/4 of the way down on page 1 may help you.
didnt help, the phone reboots and stays off until i take out the usb cable/charger, except in download mode, weird
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/27596-q-phone-shuts-down-when-connected-to-usb/
This sounds like your issue. Install CWM and flash a custom ROM.. if for whatever reason you want Froyo, then I recommend Bionix V with the Bali kernel.
Or you could shoot high and try Helly Bean
Anyways, flashing past Eclair seems to be the solution to your particular problem. I would assume most people don't notice it because they don't stay on Eclair for more than a few seconds.
Hope this helps.
