hey guys i need to return my phone; whats the best way to format my phone? i dont have an SD card in it either. thanks
If you have not flashed any roms or kernels just do a factory reset. If you have flashed then flash back to stock then do factory reset

My phone was rooted using zedomax's kernel, and is now running siyah. I had to reformat both my sd card and my internal storage so my backups are gone, and I'm unable to connect it to my computer to change kernels or anything of the sort. Every time I try to unroot using odin it refuses to work, and I'm just completely at a loss. I want to delete everything on my phone including the rom and basically reset everything on the phone. Is there any way at all that I can do that or am I stuck with a rooted phone that won't let me even connect it to the computer? I'm extremely frustrated right now, and just want my phone fixed.
EDIT: New update, I am unable to mount my SD card.
A search would have lead you to the 'return to stock' thread.

I would say try mobile Odin and use dropbox to get the stock files on your device. I would be sure to read very carefully first. Maybe even try a different USB cable or a different computer. Also make sure your PC has the kies drivers installed. When you use Odin make sure Odin is running before you connect your phone to put it in download mode. Good luck

Its pretty easy, install the dropbox app on your computer and phone. You put the stock files in your dropbox sync folder on your PC and upload them. Then download them from your mobile app

thanks a lot man. I'm incredibly frustrated right now and your advice seems useful.
This is probably a really dumb question, but what files do I need?
If your phone charges I doubt its a USB port issue and more likely a driver on your CPU or your missing a step in the return to stock thread.

OK. With the one click app open and your phone disconnected and turned off you need to hold down the volume down button and connect the micro USB. Then when the warning screen comes on press volume up.When you do that does a box on Odin turn yellow and say something like com6?

yes, and then I hit start and the factoryfs.img (i believe thats the first step) refuses to begin flashing.

I was running axura 2.2.5.7 and decided to give darky's 8.0 a try. I performed a back up then flashed the new rom (Darky's). Now I have NO SERVICE (no call text or data) and when i went to flash back to axura, my backup was no longer there. I also cannot get my computer to recognize my phone to flash to another rom. I'm currently downloading kies. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Did you try a simple reboot of the phone. That happen to me once after flashing a rom then I rebooted and it was fine after. And did you disable voodoo before flashing

Flame on!!
Have you tried download mode?
Search the forum on how and what if you couldn't get into download mode. Then odin back to stock. Also, Darky is for I9000, NOT Vibrant. Please read before flashing anything. And if you want to mess around, read up about the worst scenario and the solutions FIRST.

Make sure ur phone is in mass storage mode or it wont recognize it and make sure you have the samsung usb drivers installed. I read in another thread that darkys rom wont work on our vibrants. If you can get the computer recognize ur sd card then transfer axura to it and then flash again. Remember to disables lag fixes.

You can also remove the sdcard, put it in the adapter and plug it into a reader that's attached to your pc...

Possibly try getting your device into download mode and start over from true stock via Odin and make sure to repartition.

I posted a nand backup I did through cwm. If you extract the clockworkmod folder and put it on your phone, you should be able to see it in cwm as a restore. Hopefully save you a number of steps.
It's a clean stock backup that is rooted and has entropy512's kernel. No Google account has been signed in on it.

Indeed. Only issue might be putting on the right sdcard, either internal or external, for cwm to recognize it.
And just in case forums are still merged and skyrocket users see this, IT IS ONLY FOR AT&T SGH-I777 SGS II PHONES.
I don't want anyone messing up their phones because of me.

yeah should have stated that. but back to the question i asked. can i use the odin package and flash it or could something go wrong
Shouldn't be any issues as I'm pretty sure the PDA file contains the files to repartion. But I've never had to flash a phone through Odin to get off cyanogenmod. I've always run a backup of the previous rom I was on before I flashed cyanogenmod.
I've never done what you're looking at doing, so I'm cautious to tell anyone to do something I haven't done.
I wish the cyanogenmod forum had better instructions to revert to something else.

i just talked to entropy and he said that all i have to do is
2a.) Flash Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Non-rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader (Windows)
Download the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 No Bootloaders" package from MultiUpload or MegaUpload. Extract the contents of the zip file to a directory on your hard disk drive. This is a One-Click version of "Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + non-rooted system package" plus stock modem from the development forum. (Contains stock zImage, factoryfs.img and modem.bin.)
Start the Odin3 One-Click Downloader program by double clicking on "I777UCKH7 OCD No BL.exe".
Now Enter Download Mode:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.
In Odin, the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8].
Click Start. Watch the progress bar advance in green while the message box in the lower area describes the steps. When the flash is finished, the top left larger edit box will turn green and say PASS! and your phone will automatically reboot.
Unplug the usb cable from you phone after it boots up. Success. You're Bone Stock.
and ill be good

ok, i know i'm a little behind with my reply, but it might be helpful to some one else who might have problems with SIM RECOGNITION
once again, it is not about receiving ATT DATA PLAN, it is about your phone NOT recognizing any sim card.
i flashed my skyrocket with ODIN once click ICS, which was very easy. however my DATA plan did not work, so i installed many different modems and no luck. i tried to change different ROMs and no luck.
so i went back to stock ROM, and no luck, then i tried to flash it again with same ODIN one click ICS that i used in the beggining, and i have my phone recognizing my SIM card just fine.
however, still no data plan, i guess it would be on att settings, but not sure which one to use.

I downloaded the usb drivers,
Got the phone into download mode,
Connected phone to PC with usb
phone was recognised and i was able to see the SAMSUNG USB Device in device manager
opened ODIN, selected the pda.tar file and clicked on start..
Everything was going fine i got all the success messages in ODIN, then my phone rebooted and then stuck on the SAMSUNG screen.
on my PC i see USB drivers trying to be installed and fails.. i dont understand where to go from here.. i tried several time, but keep getting stuck at this point
Please please let me know how i can get my phone back.. i am a newbie.. would really appreciate a link or something that has step by step instructions so i dont mess it up further..

hi, thanks for your responses.
but as i said i am new to all this, and although i have a basic idea about what you are asking me to do, i would really really appreciate it if some one can send me a link or step by step instruction on what i have to do..
i am very familliar with getting my phone in download mode. And also have odin on my PC.. but i am guessing i have to use a different Tar file to flash stock (right?)
if my above guess is right, i think i will be stuck with the same issue where i select the tar file and click on "start'" in odin and everthing goes well until the phone is rebooted and after that for some reason my PC cant find the usb drives and doesnot recognise my phone..
sorry if i am asking silly questions,. but this is my first android phone (smart phone actually..) and my first attempt at upgrade / rooting
hi,
MY PHONE IS BACK!!!
i followed all the instruction to the T in the following link:

Thanks all for your time and suggestions..
Now that i have lost all my data i guess i can do some more "testing"
Congratulations and happy testing!!!
thanks..
i flashed stock rom, then rooted it (this time i was sucessful)
then installed CWM touch, made a backup,
Installed titanium backup, made backup again..
next step is to install the "OnlyOne HYFR B4" rom
Then to try and reset the flash counter
hope i am sucessful at this..
any other ROM recomendations?
glad to see you got it working..happy flashing homey!!!
Sounds like you didn't wait until your system files and dalvik cache was built b4 you jumped the fun and freaked out. Next time realize that after a ROM flash it could take up to 10 minutes to build the system and all you'll see is the pulsating Samsung logo.

From your typing, I can see that it has rattled you. I will try and help, but am no genius bar. Did you install an alternate recovery? Twrp, or Clockworkmod?

go to the store and get a mini sd adapter. they are super cheap. or just buy an sd card that comes with one and return it when you are done.
First rule of modding.... Always make a backup. I carry around a backup of completely stock rooted on my sd card at all times. If I run into problems, I just use the backup. Your best bet is to do like the guys above me said. Download a rom, and transfer it to the card. After you j get out of this mess, you will be more prepared next time. You had me completely confused about trwp. Good luck

alright ill try but idk if ill get md5 error are if that well even work bc there nothing on my phone.
I will try to keep this short and sweet, but it is what it is. Please don't let this be the end of my phone!! so i had my vibrant rooted and running a cm. 10 rom. i was an idiot and when it randomly flipped into recovery mode and wouldn't do anything else i panicked. I immediately factory reset which wasn't bad but when the problem wasn't solved instead of reinstalling the zip, (I wasn't thinking about it at the time) I figured using odin I would reinstall éclair. now my phone is in boot loop and will only pull up the boot menu if the sd card is in. another symptom is that when i use odin to install éclair everything in the process works as it should up until it gets to the reset then the phone says cannot wipe data... phone reboot then it shows that it is charging and when i unplug it and try to power it up i still get boot loop if anyone knows the solution to this I would greatly appreciate it and any other ideas I could try to bring this baby back to life. ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
Perhaps you are not using Odin properly? You're using the file called pda .tar and the .pit file? And be sure to uncheck the repartition toggle.

I assume that I am doing it right... from what I have researched it is correct. I have double checked to make sure that the tar goes into the pda and that the pit has pit. but the reparition toggle may be something I over looked. I just downloaded the pit and tar files online would there be anyway that those could be the wrong file or I have to use a proper combination of two files? do you suggest downloading those files from a certain site? Once again thanks a bunch for your comment!

I could not figure that program out to save my life the comments made me believe that its an app for the phone itself. but my phone doesn't boot up.
im kinda thinking that the problem is actually when the phone says cant wipe data. because then the loading bar stops and it boots straight from there. What would keep the phone from not being able to wipe the data?
Use that aio program. Put the phone into download mode start phone while holding volume up and power. Then use the aio oden. It cones with the correct files.

A corrupted internal SD card most likely , have you been on an ICS ROM lately? Try to Odin Eugene's Froyo that does not brick, if this works then you most likely got hit by the EU bug. If this is the case you will have to do the external SD card work around.

The program is an installable computer program. A working download link can be found in one of the sticky threads

YES I was on ics passion for quite some time. Then I went to ics slim then I went all the way to cm 10 jelly bean. would you mind sending me a link or the files for that froyo? also if my phone does have a dead internal, will that effect how the phone runs (using the external?) and is there a way to recover it the dead one? sorry lots of questions! thank you for your comment!

maybe this will tell you more if my phone has a dead internal sd card. I just barley noticed this but the phone actually doesn't bootloop unless the external sd card is in. if the external is in the phone shows the Samsung vibrant logo and then it turns off. if you hit power it will try to boot again.

Not necessarily but it is looking that way. If what Apples723 suggested doesn't work then try to Odin Eugene's Froyo and see if that will boot up. It can be found in the thread he linked but here it is again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875966.
