Go back to that thread, grab eb01 and the pit if you don't have them already....pull your battery, enter download mode flash eb01 and the pit...make sure repartition is checked and run it, if Odin says pass, unplug you're phone from the pc, insert your battery and fire it up

uggh

I have one more suggestion...what version of windows are you running? And what Odin version? I use vista home basic, and Odin 1.7 and i've never bricked it hard enough that those files and that version of Odin/windows os combination wouldn't get me back running.

I was re-reading your op and Someone else just recently had a similar problem with a new battery...it may be a dumb question but have you plugged in your new battery and let it sit and charge for a few hours? Could just be a completely dead battery cause if your getting pass you shouldn't be boot looping or frozen at the Samsung screen.
Try charging for a while and try flashing again.

Check if you are hardware locked by trying to get into recovery . If you can get into recovery , then i would say backup your apps with titanium , then flash to stock with true stock firmare from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091 . Use 512pit and tar provided . Dont use Odin v 1.0 use Odin3 v 1.3 .
I have odined my phone and evrything, I've even nandroid it and nothing is seemin to work.
Were you on a custom rom ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah hybridR3 with voodoo lag fix. Everything messed up when i tried using metamorph
Its probly the voodoo lagfix if you can get adb to work you can push the disable file .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Well ive already disabled the lagfix. But it keeps thinking its connected to usb when its not connected to anything.
Did you try the unbrickable froyo to stock fix ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah i did i dont know what else to do
Try flashing the stk kernal just the tar in pda section .

No matter what I do, this phone will not return to a stock unrooted state.
I have tried Odin. It freezes on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! or cache.rfs no matter what I do, no matter which computer I run it on, no matter which USB port I plug it into.
Heimdall also fails. It starts, claims that it is updating factory filesystem, then stops with no error message. Reattempting results in the error message "failed to retrieve config descriptor."
No matter what I do, I can't return this phone to stock! This will make it harder to sell if I ever do sell it, and plus, not being able to clean the slate means any 2.2 ROMs I flash have had serious lag problems, leaving me stranded on Eclair!
Help?
i had the same problem, i sent mine to t-mobile and they mailed me a replacement soon after.
I can't actually do that... this phone was purchased second-hand.
have you tried other versions of odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've only tried Odin3v1.00 and Heimdall.
I can't find any downloads for other versions; all Google searches lead to v1.00.
look for the 1.3 in the bible section.

Try no version of odin. or close odin and reopen it, sometimes takes a few shots before it works

+1 for a newer version of Odin.
I thought I had perma-bricked my phone a month ago, but solved the flashing problem simply by using a newer version. Here is 1.7:

OK....check this out...imma noob and i forgot to turn on debugging mode. I also flashed a Super I/O kernel into the internal memory and not into the sd card(a couple days after flashing Nero v3 rom from TW). Now im stuck on the Vibrant screen loop. Can anyone PLEASE help me get back to the recovery screen?!

Did you flash the stock tar and pit files?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Yes i did from 2 different people on 2 different computers( Home and work)
I even watched some youtube videos on how to do it so i couldnt possibly mess up the written directions
Try to flash a 2.2 voodoo kernel with odin. If the flash is successful, use three button method to get into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
where would i get the 2.2 from and how do i use odin to do it.
I know it sounds like a stupid question but i really want to make sure i dont mess up.
Thank you very much for your help

Get into download mode and make sure odin sees your device. If it does, take one of the 2.2 odin kernel files found in that link above, and place it in the pda slot in odin. Flash and hope for the best.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
none of the links work it just keeps taking me to a blank page or the general xda forums
Sweet they work now for some reason or another..
and now instead of looping it just stays at the vibrant screen
So this was my first time with CM7 and I followed all the steps but I'm having problems. When I get to installing the .tar file in as pda through odin, I made sure of unchecking auto reboot but after I hit start as it gets to the zImage it justs stops. The bar doesn't fill green in odin, nothing happens, I didn't unplug or touch a thing and my phone goes from the download mode image to a black screen. Now I've waited around 30mins now to find nothing has changed, this is the second time this event has happened since after using odin to go back to stock because I was forced to unplug my phone, bricking it in the process. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I have clockwordmod, I installed the backup through it, I'm using odin3 v1.00, but I just don't see anything wrong done in the steps. Thank you.
try 1.3 odin

that's the problem I can't flash another kernel because I only have stock recovery. for some reason I can't oden a new recovery. it acts like it goes through but then I reboot with the 3 finger salute and it's in the stock recovery again.

what if I pull the battery directly after oden finishes and then do the 3 finger to boot into recovery, would that keep it from going back to stock recovery?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
That'll work.
See, you aren't supposed to have the battery in when you use Odin anyways, that way, when it is done flashing, your phone just powers off making it easy to slap in the battery and do the three-finger into cwm at first boot.

make sure you unplug the phone before you put the battery in. if not, it'll just boot as normal.
There is no ED01 radio that we have available, so I'd be wary of whatever radio file you're flashing. Also, Odin 1.7 doesn't always work properly, try using version 1.3.

Side note on this, is there any practical barrier to bundling a kernel with a recovery Odin?
I noticed in the kernel packages that they generally modify /system when they install. So perhaps you would have to odin over data also to run in a script to complete the kernel install at boot. Meh, it would just be nice if installing recovery didn't require immediately wiping kernel and then odining recovery again.
I figured a compromise would be to CWM recovery with the kernel in the same step, then I noted I was just being lazy and it really isn't much trouble to go through once per factory restore.

I would download a CWM Odin file and one of the two odin files from here. Flash one of the two (doesn't matter which you do first) and once it completes, unplug the phone, and then plug it back in holding volume down to get back into recovery and flash the other file. You'll then have a stock kernel that won't re-flash recovery, so if you boot normally, it won't matter. You can also download Odin 1.3 from here
