Laidies and gentlemen,
Here is a problem.
I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 from T-Mobile USA to Android 2.2 and now I can't pick up gsm network at all.
I tried roms JP3, JP3 and JPK. On first two I simply get a crossed circle in status bar. If I pull out sim the phone will not request it at all. If I put sim in and try to search for mobile network, it will not find any.
On JPK I get black screen after S logo and random vibrations.
I even tried JP3 rom with JPK modem and still no gsm/wcdma.
I also tried both PIT 512 for JP2 and JP3 and PIT 803 for JPK.
Also to ensure Odin3 is ok I tried both v1.00 and v1.30.
I am completly pizzled here.
Just to make sure, I am not referring to WIFI or 3G/Edge. I do not have the basic gsm network to make calls.
Any suggestions??
TIA

So, um, which froyo "upgrade" did you use? You know there's not an official one yet, right?
It would have to have been eugene or master's... Or you used one meant for another galaxy s device, which would totally explain your problem.

I could totally be wrong here as it is 5 am here, but are any of the current froyo roms based off of JP3 or JPK? If I recall correctly they are all JPM or JPO based. It definitely sounds like you flashed something that wasn't for your phone, or flashed something incorrectly (seeing as I haven't read anything about JP3 or JPK).
If you can still get into download mode, here's stock JFD for the Vibrant.
And here's the stock kernel, since you probably need that too.

Did you flash the original Galaxy S ROM?
The radios are different in the original GT-i9000 and SGH-T959.
Did you try following Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and flash back to JFD route?
There is also a new ODIN in the wild 1.7 I believe, check the bible in the dev secion.
More details
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
Here are more details and answers fot you:
1. I am currently running JP3 with modem from JPK - that I tried out of desperation, installed via Odin3 1.30. Previously I used JP2 and JP3 on PIT 512.
2. JPK blacks the screen out after S logo and gives random vibrations until I pull the battery out. So you might be right about JPK's incompatibility.
3. I already downloaded JPD but it contains no modem or CSC.
4. Would it make a difference if I rold you that on either JP2 and JP3
- my Vol+ and Vol - keys are reversed
- home button does not work
- in recovery mode OK button does not work
- Vol -/Home/Power combo never worked even on original 2.1 rom
- to get to Donload mode I had to have USB cable attached (but not connected to the PC) press Vol +/- and Power
- the only way I get to Download mode now is by adb

Seriously we doesnt know what u talking about froyo. Vibrant doesnt have any froyo yet, unless u using eugene and other rom. My suggestion is revert it back to stock and wait for update. If u have aGALAXYS INTERNATIONAL phone then u in the wrong place

This guy is all kinds of confused. Shouldn't give these people phones.
Listen: You do NOT install something on your phone that is NOT made for your phone. First problem right there. If you want Froyo on your phone, look in the DEVELOPMENT section under the VIBRANT category. VIBRANT, the phone that you have.
What you need to do is ODIN back to JFD and never touch your phone again.
Go into download mode and open up ODIN 1.7 and use the CORRECT PIT FILE for your phone and the JFD firmware. All of this can be found in the development section.
Actually, I'll be nice and show you exactly where.

You didn't answer the earlier questions--where did you get these ROMs? Are you flashing ROMs from the i9000 dev board?
There is no SGH-T959 Froyo update which is why you're having these problems.
Odin back to stock JDF then flash Eugene's Froyo if you're looking to run it. Or wait a few weeks and we'll have the update...maybe.

I had the same thing happen to me last night with my phone not detecting the gsm.
This is what I did, I not tech savvy, but I did I did not like the 2.1 OTA update for the sgh-t959, my phone was laggy everywhere. So I researched and researched about froyo for the Vibrant, and you guys are right there is no OTA update, but it was made possible through the mini kies, first in the UK, then finally the U.S. after I updated everything was great. This is after the fact that a friend of mine said I should root my phone and flash the (cynogen???) custom rom. I have rooted my phone through the super on click method, but I decided I didn't need to go beyond that and I haven't, it's still rooted. SO, I was trying to use an app while at the grocery store, and my phone froze, hasn't happened since I had 2.1. I turn it off and when I turn I off, the home screen never loads, it's completely black except for the status bar at the top. The media scanner keeps on scanning and there is the universal no symbol there. scared the **** out of me.
So I pulled the battery, took it home and plugged it in to charge, let it charge turned it on and left it alone all night without looking at the screen to see if it booted up. I woke up this morning and I was lucky it loaded fine. Can someone please advise me as to what I did?or why this might have happened?

LOL can someone please translate this because I have the same problem - the phone is unable to detect any GSM network. I flashed the deodexed KB5 stock 2.2 ROM, but had no luck with 2.1 either.
Who's your sevice provider? I'm wondering if it has to do with at&t's acquisition of t-mobile. At least in my case.

Hi everybody, here's my problem. I had fushion 1.1 on my vibrant, liked it alot. Then i saw a new 2.2 Obsidian rom, disabled voodoo lag fix and installed it. Couldn't get one click lag fix to work and decided to reboot with odin back to Fushion and now it won't even turn on. can't get adb to even see the device, can't access recovery mode or download mode. Tried the 301k jig fix and that didn't work. But now that i think about it, I remember seeing two different vibrant screen before i bricked the phone. One with I9000 logo and the other the regular vibrant screen. Thanks

Get your phone into download mode, happened to me yesterday.
Remove battery, Connect USB to PC & Phone.
Press and hold both volume buttons and put the battery back in the phone. Flash using ODIN and rejoice
I tried that also and nothing seems to work. thanks.
I had to get new phone once it stopped showing anything. No response to even a charger. I mean nothing at all.
Tmo sent a new phone.

I'm in the same boat. Did you figure it out?
Thanks.
i have flashed the 2.3.3 lidroid rom on my samsung vibrant and i have the i9000 bootloader and i want to know if it is safe to odin stock jfd on my vibrant without bricking it?
thank you
Absolutely! Why do you wanna downgrade?
i need to send it back to tmobile. so i can get a new on as mines been flashed to many times and its kinda old too
Ok, then yes, flash it back to stock JFD with odin.
I did that numerous times, but you still wind up with the i9000 bootloader. Can someone send me the t959 bootloader to ODIN it?

try holding the volume and plug in the usb at the same time on the phone,
while odin is running. (my volume button is reversed after flashing to GB 2.3) it should go into download mode.
if that does not work try holding the volume down button and plugging the usb cable into the phone while odin is already running.
let me know if it works.
cheers!
go on I9000 Forums, search and find out how to get into download mode.
Your Phone listens to that specific buttons.
You need to press those.
I think its power and home button or something but im not sure AT ALL
Download mode on the i9000 bootloader is volume down + home + power.
Hope this helps.
I was trying to revert my wifes phone to stock and odin would not work. I used heimdell with the wrong file. The phone now has a i9000 interface. I cant call or text because it wants a sim card which obviously is impossible. and I cant get it in download mode to put the Fascinate interface back on it. Im an idiot!

hey,
chill, user error happens. I know your wife probably can't see that right now but....
one time I did the same thing, sorta, and bricked and couldn't get into download mode. I couldn't get the phone to do anything, not even the charging animation. that is how you know its bricked.
it sat there unplugged and without a battery or sdcard for about 20 hours lifeless. I was in the process of ordering a new phone through insurance when I decided to hold my volume button down, plugged in and it was great!
once you get to this point, and you will if your phone is turning on at all its not bricked, then you will need to follow instructions for repartition like your coming off cm7mtd using a FULL BUILD like DI14 (I have a mesmerize so I'm not positive your full builds) with repartition checked using the atlas_2.2.pit file.
if that didn't work at all for you, there is a way to force download mode, using a homemade jig. google for galaxy s download mode jig if that's your only option.
good luck, and please do let us know how it goes for you. I've never used heimdall but its pretty similar to odin from what I've seen so that would probably work as well. if you're not sure if the rom you have for heimdall is a full build, open it with winrar/winzip our whatever and count how many files are inside, for me its 8 I think with full mesmerize build but we are missing one file that the fascinate build has I believe.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
perhaps if download mode is busted you could flash a fascinate rom after rooting and then boot to recovery and try flashing something a little closer to home like one of the pick n packs for the mesmerize...
but this would be one of the last things I would try, right before the homemade jig.

Are you sure you're using the right button press for i9000? Like the guy above said try Vol button down and plug in.
hi i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-i9100. i am from singapore (if region matters). i updated to the official DXLP9 4.0.3 whatchamacallit version (via the automatic update service) less than a week ago, but i didnt like it for various reasons, of which a very unsatisfactory battery life was the one i couldnt stand the most.
so i went to flash the DXKL3 2.3.6 stock rom (with odin 1.85) as i thought it would be enough to revert my phone back to the old version.
BUT i was grossly wrong. my phone now hangs at the start-up screen, and ONLY at the start-up screen. and by startup screen, i mean a black screen with white text saying "galaxy s2 gti9100" on it.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHATS WRONG somebody please help me. :/
i suppose its bricked? so is there any way i can get it working again? preferably without wiping my data please.
i apologise if im breaking rules or anything by doing this but im really really desperate for my phone to work again so please help/make an exception or somehing thank you very much and in advance to any kind soul who responds.
Did u wipe ur phone before flashing it n after flashing??? try this may b this will work first wipe ur cell than flash GB through Odin
ics to GB without data wipe, don't think so

OK you can try to go into recovery if you are root by pressing volume up+home+power key , if you aren't and install other rom via recovery, if you aren't root you can go into download mood by pressing volume down+home+power key and also flash another rom using Odin
I think it may be soft brick because your phone responded to the power key and show you start up screen
Best regards
