Okay.....Here's the situation: I have the Samsung Vibrant and wanted the new 2.2, so I tried doing it myself and just couldn't get it to work. So a guy I know came to the house and did it for me. He used something he was familiar with that he got from here. The phone works fine for the most part. I tried downloading and using GPSRestore from Samsung. When I ran the app it said it couldn't because I had a GT-I9000. How can I get the phone to show what it really is? Some information about the phone: Simply Galaxy 2.7.2 SweetHoney.zsjpj - Kernel ver.: 2.6.32.9 Overstock - v1.5.1 #1 - Firmware ver.: 2.2.1
I'd like to use the app from Samsung and other app's but I am wondering if this will happen again.
Well, that is because you have 2.2.1 which is a GT-I9000 build. To fix this go into root explorer, mount system as r/w, go into build.prop as the text editor and change everything that says GT-I9000 into SGH-T959. Hope that helps!
I'm going to print this out and give it a try right now. I'll be back shortly(if I dont screw it up) and let you know what happened. Thank.
I have a similar situation. I have a i9000 boot animation i would like to get rid of any ideas????
I just did it...it works...but u must reboot for the changes to take effect...

you probably flashed the GB bootloaders
^^AGREED^^
I9000 bootanimation is a known issue/non-issue after ODIN while using GB bootloaders. It is addressed in the OP of the GB bootloader thread.

WOOT! +1 on "Root Explorer" that shiznit is tha bomb diggity!!
Good luck!
Well, I tried changing all of the GT-I9000's to SGH-T959 and after I did that I rebooted the phone. When the phone started up it started to vibrate every 3 seconds, would barely respond from the touch screen and would not accept anything from the keyboard.
At this point I thought I had ruined the phone because I couldn't get it back to the original settings. I finally got the keyboard to work by changing to a different one and got the original settings back. Where did I go wrong?

if you have gingerbread bootloaders installed and you end up odining to stock (jfd), you will notice it changes the bootsplash to i9000. You can either reflash a gb bootloader again, or simply use the odin package above to do so.

I am having the same issue... i am not seeing a build.prop file I am running Malice_v4x_72011_EDT with GB boot loaders...
EDIT: NM I found it
yeah
I did something of the same thing....but it froze midway thru....totally freaked me out. Took me about 15minutes to try and figure out how to reboot the phone into recovery because it kept asking me to select with the OK key....and I dont have an ok key!! Once I finally got it to boot up, it would flash the GT-I9000 logo during bootup, THEN the Vibrant logo. I flashed it back to stock via Odin again and it finally went away. Dunno WHAT I did, but it was scary!
Well, I have given up on the whole thing. I have tried twice with the same results. I'm just going to live with and expect to not be able to run apps for the Vibrant. Thanks for everyones help.

theres a gps fix i think in sgstools, could try that ??
I was able to get the build.prop thing to work, but when all was said and done the swpe keyboard no longer responded... had to navigate through the market to find the basic gingerbread keyboard... all is well now...
as for the gps fix
i was able to get the one in sgstools to "run" (before i fixed the gt-i9000 thing), but i am running a GB rom, so it still doesn't work as well as it did with froyo...
Shouldnt matter if your phone is a GT-I9000
Its still a Galaxy S
And if it says GT-I9000, its because the ROM uses a GT-I9000 Kernel or its listed as such in the Build.prop.
Most Froyo ROMs dont even need the GPS restore because the GPS is pretty damn good on them all.
Try A Toxic or an EDT ROM

Okay folks, thanks to the great posts on here, I tried one last time and it worked. I changed the keyboard first and then used sgstools which has a .prop editor in it. I rebooted and it works great now. Just have to get used to the GB keyboard now. Thanks again all.
You don't HAVE to get used to the Gingerbread Keyboard. Tons of after-market keyboards out there. I'd suggest Swype or Swiftkey X, but there are many more.
I was using the Swype and I think that was what was causing the problems I experienced. Since I switched to the Gingerbread keyboard it has been smooth sailing.

Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

I recommend using odin and falling up's odin files. I'd link you, but my phone doesn't link.
I did all that rooting crap. Now when I press the power putton, it flashes the "Samsung Vibrant" Image, then plays the tmobile tone, but no "S" image appears. And it stays black. How do I fix this?
define "all the rooting crap"? Did you flash a Voodoo Rom and try to flash something else on top of it?
There is NO way to tell you what you need to do unless you tell us what you did.
But based on what you have described.. Gonna say u are SOL.
Use odin to flash stock rom then start over. I have been stuck on that screen a couple times. Lol

Truth be told
Anthony is right. i had this issue earlier this week when trying to flash a mod to my phone. Odin is the only choice at this point.
This has happened to me twice, most recently after "fixing permissions" in the oclf market program. Both times I've rectified by booting into recovery and "reinstall packages". Both times I also removed sim and sd and after a couple repetitions of package reinstall it comes back to life. Maybe dumb luck, maybe not, worked twice...

Also...My Vibrant Wont Turn On
Dear All
I am new to this forum and need some assistance. I recently bought a T-Mobile Vibrant from a friend who had brought it with him for the US. I am using it in the Middle East where I live at the moment.
I have been reading a lot in the past few weeks about the Vibrant and almost everything there is to know. It seems there is always more to discover.
Back to the issue at hand. I had been having problems with getting my phone to reboot into recovery mode but I finally managed to do so last night. I wanted to flash my phone with Axura 2.1E, Nero V2 or the Macnut v14, so I can use the the Black Froyo theme on it.
First, I flashed the original firmware (T959...JDF) which I got off your site, using Odin v1.3. That worked as it should. Then I proceeded to follow instructions to download the ClockworkMod from this thread: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant (FINAL! SAFE!)
After I copied the CWM file to the Internal sd card, I downloaded Rom Manager, rooted the phone with Z4root, chose the Samsung Vibrant in Rom manager and clicked install ROM from sd card. it rebooted into recover mode (blue writting), I clicked 'reinstall packages', which it did and it rebooted into the ROM recovery mode (green writting). I chose the option to install zip file from sd card, then chose Axura 2.1E and it installed until it said complete.
So far everything was working as it should, or at least that was the impression I got. I am not sure of this next step. It said installation complete, so i chose 'go back', then 'reboot device'. When it went into reboot, nothing happened...just a black screen. It wont start, neither normally, not into any other mode (recovery or download). i plugged it into the charger and not even the battery icon would come up. i assume that it is...'dead' and I just did the impossible. I tried several ways and combinations to get it back to life somehow, but I have a feeling that's it.
Any suggestions, advice, remedies, whatever help...even condolences would be much appreciated..
Much appreciated and all the best to all.
Cheers
What the heck is up with all these HARD BRICKs?
Past few days, I keep reading people who have appeared to truely HARD BRICK their phone.
Meaning they can not get into download mode, they can not use odin, they are truely hard bricked.
What is up with the sudden surge of hard bricks.
This guy sounds like he did everything correct.
Scary.
Ya I've seen a lot of those also... could it be a newer version of the Vibrant? Yes he did everything correctly... he could try a jig.. its only maybe 10 bucks? worth a try at least...
My Vibrant wont turn on
Thanks guys for the reply to my post. I was thinking today that even though I did follow instructions correctly, that I might have missed a step at the end.
My thoughts went to the fact that after the installation of my chosen ROM (Axura 2.1E) was complete, I was given the choice of installing update.zip again, along with some other ones which I forgot what they were and the option to 'go back'. I went 'back' and pressed reboot device.
If the installation was fully complete, would not the phone go into automatic reboot?
Anyways seem like the boot is screwed and I am getting help from a friend to get it back to life again.
Anyone can confirm what to do after I install a 'ROM' successfully. Is there another step afterwards which I must be aware of to fully complete the flash?
Cheers again

Nah if you read the disclaimers devs put up it clearly says "i am not responsible for bricking, etc."
So no, there should be no specific reason why your nephews phone won't boot, more unless he was running a lag fix and flashed the wrong zip or whatever then yeah...
But download mode is I guess a fail-safe for samsung if the phone bricks or anything, afterall the vibrant is nearly impossible to fully brick

This same thing happened to me. I read about making a jig, yeah right. So I continued for the better part of three hours plugged into my computer with data cable continuing the same motion that I would to get into download mode. And finally I got the download dude. I used the s1.odin somthing .pit file I think it was the first .pit to come out. Not the 512.pit Along with the first .jar.

I assume thet the phone is rooted. You should flash a 2.2 Rom from the vibrant forum first. Bionix, Trigger etc. Once you flash a 2.2 froyo rom, it should be smooth. I like Zendroid located here

If you can get into CWM you should be golden ..good luck
Haha Lapdog hit the Thanks instead of the Quote.
Ok then. Here us what you can do. Hit my signature and download CWR. Open the folder and put the Update.zip on her internal SD. Go here and download this ROM (Derange9). Put it on her internal SDcard.
Boot into recovery (either volume up AND down and power OR volume up + power [depending on whatever bootloader you have]). It will show up Blue.
Tab down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. It will cycle through and come back to the blue screen. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will go from blue (stock) to green (CWR).
Scroll down to Wipe cache, factory reset/data and advanced->wipe Dalvik. Then scroll to Install from SD and find the above ROM and flash it.
Once done Reboot and profit, you are on Deranged9. If you want to flash a different ROM, just replace D9 with whatever one you want. After it boots up and she is no longer pissed at you, you should get some kisses. Tell er' Wood sent you.
really she wants it to just be stock , it was ten times smoother when i got it then after i tried to put the lockscreens on it , is there any way i can get rid of the 2 bootloaders and just have one and have it be all stock

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't know what you mean by dual bootloader. You might want to Odin back to the froyo bootloader before installing a stock rom.
i mean when it first turns on you see it go through 2 bootloaders the froyo one and the gingerbread one First is Galaxy S i9000 logo , then Vibrant logo, finally is T-mobile bootscreen.
i would like to get it back to how it was where it only says the vibrant logo when loading then i would like to odin it to the most rexent stock version
like if i hook it up to samsung kies for vibrant that will fix it right ?
At least two of the recent hard-brickings I've read about recently have involved Kies. I wouldn't touch it. Odin or Heimdall for me.
Info about kb5:
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=t959uvkb5
I'm a little concerned about your initial "i9000". If there is any possibility you changed the SBL, you might want to Odin back to a stock Froyo SBL before loading kb5. Do it in the same session: uncheck "reboot" in Odin before loading the SBL, then after it loads, load kb5. Probably the initial "i9000" just means you somehow got an i9000 kernel.
I think you need to go back to odin3 flash the stock jfd to stock then go in phone dailer press *2767*3855# to format the system to wipe out the old folder then go back to odin3 again and flash the VIBRANT STOCK (FROYO) BOOTLOADER. I hope that help. I did have 2 bootloader like seeing i9000 and the Vibrant logo before

Kies won't fix anything. If you don't have much experience, use Heimdall One-Click. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683
It will flash the stock bootloaders and the stock Vibrant ROM. It will be back to the way it was when you (or she) first got it.
Note: It won't let you flash bootloaders until you've flashed it once, so just reflash it with bootloaders checked. If it fails, just keep doing it. It will flash it eventually. I used this when I bricked my Vibrant.
I was running Task 14 revamped fat rom.
I decided to go back to stock to make sure I could. Basically no other reason.
I followed the sticky for UN-rooting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971. Had a hell of a time getting it Un-rooted. Everything went wrong from the beginning it seemed. Seems the files and guide don't coincide with each other which probably started my problems.
In the process, not sure when. I started getting this stupid triangle with the exclamation point in the middle when it boots.
On searching I have only found that it just means I flashed a wrong kernal or something like that and it's harmless and to ignore it. It's driving me nut though!
I did Have to finally use PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5 Which I know isn't for my US tab but I'm sure I saw the error BEFORE resorting to this as I couldn't get everything to correctly adb push to the tab either so I finally used that file with Odin knowing it would probably cause problems.
I got everything running as I want again. Fortunately I keep a backup which made my life a little easier once I was able to get back to Task 14 again. But the stupid little triangle is still there after restoring the backup too.
Is there a way to get rid of it without stripping back down to stock without having as many problems? Maybe a kernel to flash? Maybe an update or a quickie guide to uninstalling Task 14 and going back to stock (I don't have any links or local stock roms) or something?
Anyway, could anybody help? I don't want to spend another two days without sleep just trying to get rid of this stupid little thing.
Yeah I'm that anal about the stupid triangle....lmao
Odin reflash?? With a different rom+ baseband

In theory you should be able to just flash a stock kernel.

Thanks.
I may be getting there.
I could really use a US copy of a file like this to use with Odin. PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar
Anybody?
I'm getting tired.
EDIT:
Finally! Found a Place that works!
