Hey guys,
I just got my phone today and for some reason it doesnt work anymore.
I allready rooted it (one click) and loaded ROM manger. I tried to do that SD card thing on it whre you make room for App storage and when it rebooted it got stuck after the whole booting process. (The sound for the T-mobile ad seems to be a little to late) Black screen and lighted up sensor buttons (which stop glowing once I touch them, and then light up again). Tried everything. Odin sucessfully done, but still the same thing. Please dont tell me I got to give my brand new vibrant away. I get it in download mode and recovery mode.
Sorry for the bad english, I´m german and in america right now.
I deeply hope you guys can help me
Do you mean you tried to partition the SD card from ROM manager??
Check the repartition box with a checkmark..
Odin again, Odin again, and again, sometimes a success does not equal all files copied correctly.

That is what it did, and booted into a the same black screen as before. Anything else I can do?

Why did you even want to partition your sdcard when you already had how many gigabytes for apps already?

Thank you so much! You made me hope.
But the second link in the thread you gave seems to be uncompled. Or am I beeing really stupid?
I am a big noob, so I didnt know wha tthe partition was and jus wanted to give it a try-- big mistake. Never gonna do "just try it" again!

OKAY HERE GOES.
Download thisand extract it. And flash it in ODIN v1.7. No Pit file.
Your phone should boot into i9000 Froyo Rom.
Go back into download mode and Flash T959UVJFD.tar with the 512.pit that you downloaded in the previous threads.
To get into download mode use either "adb reboot download" or the button combo
Your phone should be saved. If not, then .....

Well I thought I would try CM7. Apparently the ROM that I was running made a straight upgrade to CM7 impossible.
I flashed back to stock using
s1_odin_20100512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
Passed with no issues. Also formated the internal SD. Now when I try the usual update.zip method of rooting, the little script seems to stop almost immediately but with no error messages. The progress bar only goes about a 1/10 of the way, then it says successful and reboots. However I don't have SU access nor busybox.
Totally stumped. Any thoughts? This phone was originally rooted in using the same method. If I were to guess, I would say that maybe this "original" ROM is not the original one I had on the phone when I bought it at T-Mo.
When I look at the phones ID it says:
model :SGH-T959
FW: 2.1 update 1
BB: T959UVJFD
Kern: 2.6.29
Build Number :Eclair (I don't remember it originally saying Eclair but I could be mistaken)
Any help would be appreciated.
Apparently the usual update.zip has been naughty lately. Use the attached update.zip posted by s15274n instead.

I think there are two different stock flashes you can use. if you can't root its probably because you used the wrong one. I know that 2.2 froyo also has rooting issues.

star, I would suggest my noob guide in my signature. It has ODIN and two update.zips... one for just rooting, and the other to just flash CWR (the one I use). The latter allows you to ODIN > go straight into CWR and flash a rom.
Done.
i have alll the files needed. i have every file organized into a simple rar. goto my "lifesaver" post and download the rar. it should help!
Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
I have used Odin to load Tar File: JFD and Pit file. Or just used Vibrant AIO and Odin through their. Everything loads fine, but when it boots I just get a black screen. I touch the soft keys and they light up. Some say it is a kernel issue, but I just do not know. Any help on this is welcome.
I have tried different versions of Odin, but nothing seems to work.
I wanted to try this, but the link is not working for me. At least I cannot get to MultiUpload for some reason.

I can't link it bc I am mobile but if you go to the Vibrant section on Rootzwiki, Br1ckd's ICZen thread bottom of OP or post #2, you can find Eugene's rom
Thanks. Their is another post on XDA, but it only on MultiUpload. Is Multiupload down? All I get is a white screen.
If anyone could mirror when they have a chance that would be great!
Multi went down shortly after Mega went down.
Go here and download it. Or here if you don't want to stray away from XDA.
Thanks my friend! I was able to get into a ROM! However I discovered that I did not need it. I will use the ROM for emergencies in case I do. I found out that I pushed the wrong Update.zip file. I installed the root_update.zip and not cwm_update.zip. I do not think the root Update works well with Eugene's ROM anyway. Once I did that I was able to get ICS back up.
However I still have the Froyo Bootloader, and would like to update to Gingerbread. I tried flashing the GB bootloader, but it errored out looking for the PIT file and had to re-flash to stock. I will try again later, but just happy to get the phone working.
With a JIG this phone I would say, like most of you agree with, is very difficult to truly brick!
Thanks again all.
I recently had to revert back to my verison fascinate and now I need the file to revert it back to stock. I tried all the links on here but the seem to be dead. Does anyone have the files I need for Odin. Also I would like to get a hold of Blackhole ROM again. Thanks
