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

Im coming from 2.3.2 - XWJV1 [Gingerbread on Vibrant], after ODIN, and when i wanted to flash the latest Bionix i got an error
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
every time i get this, i have to do another ODIN because it just does a loop in the android system recovery and will not get out, so i had to ODIN 3 times.
now when i try to flash a ROM it just keeps replacing stock recovery with clockwork mod recovery, i do the usual steps to install a ROM and it just does a loop. i tried different clockwork flash versions and either it wont let me install the older ones or the only 2 versions that work have loop problems.
HOW DO I FIX THIS, IM SO STRESSED OUT, THIS IS UNNECESSARY!
after doing install rom from sd option, i was able to get out of the loop but i got
E: Can't symlink /system/bin/su
E: Failure at line 16:
symlink /system/xbin/su SYSTEM.bin/su
Installation Aborted.
i still cant flash anything and i already tried eugenes files.
got into clockwork but when i put install files from sd card > choose from sd then it when i choose update.zip it just goes back to the android system recovery.
then i put reinstall files from the android system recovery and it just sends me back to clockwork recovery...
Try a diff. tar for when you Odin, you may have a corrupt file. Have you try Eugen JK2 tar file, prerooted?
Are you clicking reinstall packages?
Are you going through clockwork or rom manager?
Did you install the root update zip to reroot?

Ok I just went through this less than a month ago with my captivate. I have a twenty page topic on this EXACT issue. I had all the major devs pming me and doing everything under the sun for probably a total of thirty hours. Result - NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS. This issue is not specific to our phones, there have been cases of this on almost every android phone. Your gonna get people telling you to do all this elementary trouble shooting...the problem is far too deep dont waste your time. You can flash back to stock with every tar and pit file this side of samsung...not gonna work. SOMETHING is not getting wiped. Save yourself the time and sell the phone to someone who will not use custom roms.
Also no rm/wipe command through abd is gonna help either! Sorry just telling you from someone who experienced this hell. Also every thread in existence on the internet on this subject has died out without an answer. If you read for enough hours you will find out the hard way! Good luck my friend!

LMAO!!! I understand that your frustrated but there is no need to blame other members. There is always a risk flashing a rom. If you are not willing to accept the risk then you shouldn't be flashing roms at all. Whitehawkx has helped many people in the vibrant community and its not his fault if YOU decide to flash his rom and don't know what your doing. You wont get much help around here with that attitude.

Hey all,
Totally went back to stock...so started with DL09 and then proceeded up to ED04. I installed CWM (red) and rebooted into it and then rooted my phone. Worked great...this morning decided to wipe the battery stats...now it just goes to the Samsung (blue) recovery one. I decided to reflash with ODIN and it still just gives me the Samsung one. Any ideas on how to get this working again???
It sounds like your flash may have failed. Maybe try it again. It might be easier and more reliable to use heimdall in this situation as well.
Also, I know it's early, but this is a question and should be posted in the appropriate section.

You have to download this and ODIN to the phone ...

Heimdall works like Odin. Cwr is being overwritten by the stock kernel, you should flash a custom kernel if you want cwr to stick.

You may have to flash a custom kernel to get your recovery permanent. I did the same thing to get the ed04 ota.
1. Flash the dl09 tar file in odin, don't reboot.
2. Flash the cwm3 odin file of your choice, don't reboot.
3. Boot into recovery using the 3 finger salute (should be the one you just odined).
4. Flash the custom kernel of your choice & reboot.
That should keep it rooted & keep cwm available to you, at least it did for me. The key, fwig, is to repalce the stock kernel cuz that is what will replace cwm when it boots.

Thanks for posting this question... I was stuck with the same problem...
I am really new for this.
I want to flash CM7 stable to my Samsung Vibrant that currently runs Android 2.2 (stock).
I tried to flash by using Rom Manager so many times but I still have no result.
I really want to flash CM7 with Odin because I have played around with Odin since flashing stock firmware.
So, I hope someone might have a good idea for this.
Thank everyone,

OK, First of all which Voodoo kernel do you suggest and will this get us 2E recovery afterwards, I'm having the same problem he is, I tried CWM recovery flashing it 3 or 4 times and all I still get is the Samsung 3E[blue] menu, we need the 2E [Green] recovery menu and CWM isn't providing it for some reason on these newer HW locked Vibrants, my old one wasn't HW locked and CWM allowed the 2E recovery right from the get go! These newer phones suck because of this delimna!! OH and BTW JFD didn't help me either!!

Jfd still requires the cwm update.zip, but if you're on 2.2 with 3e, you'll need to Odin a kernel (be it a custom one like immortality or Bali), or search for supercurio's thread where he had a bunch of kernels with cwm built in, bypassing the need for a "working" stock recovery. Google "xda vibrant voodoo kernel" and it should be within the first few links. Also, make sure it's in a .tar and not .zip.

Thanks. It is working for me.
It is a very guide.
Now I can get CM7 on my device.
Everything is ok at the first test including gps.
I don't know yet about battery life.
The problem I had before is ClockworkMod Recovery with 3e.
So, what I have done is to flash kernel by Odin.
The kernel is is below.

I just flash with this kernel and continue to install CM7 by using guideline of CM7.

One click method works best for me. By the way, this is in the wrong section.
Or odin a custom ROM and you will have root, kernel and ROM. Then odin a CWR package if one is not included with the ROM package.. Done..

The best method is definitely using Odin to either flash a custom recovery, then flash a SU package or a whole custom ROM (and honestly, why wouldn't you? ).
If ALL you want is root with the stock crappy ROM then using one click is the best imo.
I think the best and easiest would be to flash a custom recovery through ODIN and then flash the latest SU package or any Su package for that matter ( it ll update itself once you are in the market )
http://www.mediafire.com/?mssii1m5tq3d911
this package contains the recovery, su package ( its like 4 months old but will do , or search and find the latest su package ), and odin .
all u need to do is store the su package on your card
shutdown the phone
put the phone in download mode ( hold vol down while connecting with the PC )
flash the recovery thru odin ( kinna simple - just hit PDA button yupp PDA button and give the path to the recovery file and hit ok ) dont do anything else.
also plz remove the battery before going into download mode
then once flashed put the battery back in and just press the vol up + vol down + power buttons together and you ll boot into the recovery hit the zip file flashing option and install the su packge
you are rooted.
( i have elaborated it all coz if you are a new fassy user then you might need this info - i needed it when i started )]
