I need to take my fascinate to the verizon store because of this missed call issue so i need to unroot/go back to stock. I followed kidserious' guide on going from cm7/miui/omfgb to another rom/unbricking your phone. So I odined official froyo ed05, atlas pit, and re-partitioned. I am now on bloated/binged/tw froyo. Is this all I need to do or is there something else i need to do so i don't void my warranty? Thanks.
If your phone is back to stock and unrooted, there shouldn't be a problem. I have turned in a rooted phone before and they couldnt tell so I'm sure you're safe

Assuming we will get 2.2 eventually. I have a question. Im currently running the bionix 1.9.1 with the jacs uv/uc. I made a nandroid before I flashed it. When froyo rolls out do I need to revert back to my backup so I can get it? I know it wil be awhile but im just trying to get a game plan going. I dont want to wait to the last minute and be clueless. Thanks in advance.

I plan to flash back to stock with Odin. Clear it all out.
When you odin back to stock, it unroots correct?
Correct. I did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
To my wife's phone when the OTA bricked it. Compared to other phones Ive read about - the Vibrant to way to easy to root. (or reroot)
When froyo begins rolling out there will be fully functional and complete 2.2 roms available for you to flash before you even get the update notification.
Stupid question. iPhone user here. My g/f was experiencing problems with her vibrant so i briefly (real briefly) how to look up guides on how to flash to 2.3.5. Took me a couple times but nevertheless i got it. Little did i know i was flashing the UK version. So now ive been trying to recover and get the phone into a functioning state without success. I'm getting restless. So I'm a couple hours familiar with ODIN. So if anyone can provide me with a guide or links to the (PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC, ETC) files needed to go to the lasted f/w that will work on t-mobile. She was running 2.1 but i know 2.2 is out there somewhere. Is there a newer version like 2.3.3, 2.3.4, or even 2.3.5? I just want to get it back to fully functional. Right now i tried to flash with Simply Odin and im in a reloading loop... Any help would be appreciated!!

Oh yikes I hope you didn't lose her imei number.
Did you backup her /efs folder, nv_data.bin ????
Hopefully those two are still ok.
Read before you mess with the phone any further, you lose the imei and the phone is useless.

Here is some stuff to help you. Just main points, you got to find out how to do it all.
1) backup your /efs which contains your nv_data.bin before you touch anything else.
You need root access to do this, the folder is /efs
Then PUT A COPY ON YOUR COMPUTER as a backup
2) find out if you somehow installed voodoo lagfix, if so turn it off before you flash nything else
3) find out if it's safe to odin back to stock JFD (eclair 2.1) from the gingerbread rom you are on now.
4)If safe, then odin back to stock JFD eclair 2.1 before you install any more roms.

5) This user has everything you need in his guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
Download odin, the pit and tar files also.
All found at that link, to get you back to stock jfd 2.1
6) once you are on stock jfd 2.1. Then you can 1st root, 2nd install clockwork mod recovery, 3rd install froyo 2.2 deodexed/rooted found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036193
I suggest the cwm recovery method, not odin.
7) Once you are back to Froyo 2.2, and you have a t-mobile signal meaning you didn't lose your imei, if you are still dying to run Gingerbread, message back and ill try to help you install it. There is NO OFFICIAL GINGERBREAD, the last official firmware for Vibrant was Froyo 2.2
Someone mind helping this guy with some suggestions.
He can't odin back to stock jfd, he gets in a bootloop.
So he tried eugenes froyo that doesn't brick, then tried going back to stock jfd, and still same thing.
He is new to Vibrant. I'm not sure what's going on with his phone.
I ran out of suggestions for him.
My Vibrant had Froyo when I got it, but there were so many problems with the phone that I rooted it and put Bionix NextGen on there, which is kind of old now but very very stable. It didn't fix the problems, which are probably hardware defects, so I want to return it. I used Odin, but the files I got were for 2.1. I searched for official 2.2 files but couldn't find anything that I could be absolutely sure was not modified in any way. It seems that all of the ones I find are for people who just wish to upgrade to 2.2, not for those trying to return to stock and send their phone back that way.
So I have 3 questions:
1. Will T-Mobile still accept the phone back and will they check at all?
2. In the case that they do question me about it, does using Odin void the warranty? (I already searched this far an wide but couldn't find a definitive answer)
3. Does anyone have a link to official 2.2 Odin files?
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Odin back to 2.1, then use samsung kies to update to official 2.2.
sent from the depths of helly bean
Hmmm, I thought about doing that, but I remember Kies wasn't working with my computer. If I get it to work, I'm still worried that it might mess up my phone somehow. I keep reading about people running into serious trouble by using Kies, because it's crappy software. I don't know how much I trust it. I guess that might be my only option though. Thanks for the reply.

So, I got this phone a few days ago and I've been playing around with flashing roms and all. I'm not sure if I really wanna commit to this phone for two years and still have a week to return it to verizon. But right now it's running CM10.1 with a chronic kernel, and I'm not sure if I can return it in that state lol.
So, my question is, how do I do a full complete wipe, and reflash a brand new default stock image, unrooted with all that wonderful verizon bloat.

You can return it without unrooting (ive done it twice with T-mobile and know of many who have done it through Verizon)... but if you want to unroot to play it extremely safe, just reflash the stock tar using ODIN (pretty sure its here)

Will that tar file revert my CyanogenMod back to stock touchwiz too?
Yes

So I want to go back to stock unrooted on my SCH-I545. I restored my stock rom nandroid like the various threads here say to do. And it does seem to be stock software again. Or I should say I have all of my bloatware and stock look back again. But I have two problems now. First is that the about phone still says synergy rom in the about phone section of the settings and it still has the synergy boot screen. Second it is still rooted.
How do I go about completing the process to get it back unrooted and stock? Or does anyone know of a step by step guide to doing this?

Doing a nadroid wont remove root because you had root when you made it. When I need to return my phone to bonestock and unrooted I odin. It takes care of everything in one shot. The stock images arw posted in the dev section.
