Dears I upgrdede to 2.2 and seems to work but most of the phone functions didn't work so I decide to down grade to original 2.1 again.
I went to download mode started odin and put the files and started but nothing happend so I unpluged the mobile and ended with the phone not working so I cant run 2.2 or 2.1 tryed to go back to 2.2 but still it starts on the odin and then stops.
can any one help?
What do you mean nothing happened? And this is the wrong section btw.
odin started to use the files and then stopped saying dont turn target off, and took so long as if it hanged
What version of ODIN are you using?
odin 3.1 .........
And which rom are you using? Make sure its the JDF one and not the JI6.
Have you ever used odin before? If not make sure you have the samsung drivers installed. If using vista or windows 7 open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. Then once its open put phone in download mode and connect it to the computer. Try again.
I think you mean Odin3 1.0
You need to upgrade to Odin 1.7 first of all, it can be found in this section in the Bible. Then like he said, grab JFD and the 512 pit file.
can you provide the links please to get the 4 fils PIT,PDA,Phone,CSC
I will be gratefull
You only need the Pit and PDA
Odin 1.7

What froyo rom did you flash? Did you flash it through recovery or with odin?
also as someone else stated, you should move this to q&a. While some will help you none the less, a few of people on here like the taste of freshly seared meat from time to time

Ah good to know because I flashed a kernel first lol..
I ended up with a bigger problem
I used odin to flas and added these files
s1_odin_20100512 pit
and T959UVJE8 PDA , Phone files and selected repartetion and started , it had 2.2 on it and was not working fine.
was installed and the restarted and there you go not working
I got into a boot loop and could not stop it. I put it into download mode and tried to odin but the computer won't see the phone. I don't know what else to try. I used odin to go back to stock one time when I had froyo.
Please help!
If you can get into download mode then you're not bricked. Try either a different driver or a different USB cord.
I was able to get into Odin once more. It showed pass and the phone reset but it got stuck at the Vibrant screen. Does this have anything to do with the bootloaders since I was on ICS using Gingerbread bootloaders?
Also, I notice that once Odin starts, the progress bar on the phone goes very fast and finishes in about 3 seconds and the phone reboots. Odin shows passed. This is when it just stays on the Vibrant screen.

It shouldn't since you can us GB bootloaders with Froyo ROMs. Did you follow N00B's guide and use the stock 512 PIT and JFD tar files provided? I've seen a 513 PIT file that didn't do anything for me, so I'd stick with the 512 version.

Give N00B (and me ) if that helps at all.

What files are you using? The flash should take a little over a 1 minute or so since you're applying an approximately 200 meg file (stock file) to your phone.
Grab both those files (.pit and .tar) from N00B's guide and try it.

Followed the NOOB guide to the T my man. I'm using the 512 file. I've checked the MD5 checksum of all three files. Now I can get started and see the progress bar on the phone but hangs every time. First a bright green screen and now a blue screen. Odin shows stuck on modem.bin process.

Not trying to be a smarta$$ or anything but I would double check that you pulled out the bootloader.md5.tar from the PDA and put in the correct files to get back to JFD. I agree with Kaiser that is should take 1+ mins to full flash. Bootloader flashes are more like the time frame that you are talking about.
I also think that you may have a bad download if you are applying the correct files. Try the AIO Toolbox in the Dev section. It have the drivers, Odin 1.8 (I think) and the proper Pit/Tar files for JFD. Also the very last post Adamanda posted an earlier version of Odin that you could try too.

Wouldn't hurt to grab the files from Wood's guide, and make sure to use the new version of Odin.
I'm guessing since you already done an odin flash before you already did this, but maybe try re-installing the correct Windows drivers for the Vibrant:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
One thing to note on the drivers (I had to at least) is that you may need to disable Digital Signature Verification in Windows. Get to the Windows Safe Mode Screen (while booting windows, keep pressing F8), then select Disable Digital Signature Verification. Windows can block the drivers otherwise.
Something else would be putting the PIT and TAR files in the same directory you have the Odin executable. Not sure if you still have to, but it was recommended way back when and I still do it to this day whenever I go back to stock.
A last ditch would be running Odin as an administrator, but you really shouldn't have to do that.
All the files have been verified and I click on the pit button and choose the pit file downloaded and then click on PDA and choose the appropiate 512 TAR file. I click start and get into the process. It just hangs at different points all the time. This last time it made it to factoryfs.rfs process and my phone got a blue screen. I'm gonna give a different version of Odin a try.
Kind of sucks but I have heard of this before. Only thing that I can recall is that the user just kept trying to get it to pass and he maybe did it 8 times before it got all the way through. His was like yours and it would hang on different parts in the process here and there. I'll see if I can find that thread and link it for you.

Should I try clicking the dump box, phone EFS clear box or phone bottloader box? Or will this erase my files?
Looks like you might have a bad download. Try to Toolbox I listed above. Much better than piece-mealing files together. Nice all-in-one package.
Here is that thread btw about being stuck at points in Odin.

NO!!! Don't clear your EFS. Will kill your ability to call or get/send data. Will lose your IMIE and you'll be forced to Odin anyways.

Odin/Download Mode doesn't use USB Debugging, only Mass Storage/MTP uses that.
Download the Toolbox and the .Net files (if you don't already have it-most PCs do nowdays). Install it, Open and hit Flash to Stock. It will open the included version of Odin, browse for the files it comes with re: the Pit and Tar/PDA files and hit Run like you do in regular everyday Odin.

This is a dumb suggestion, but just trying to get the simple stuff out of the way. You're unzipping the 512 pit and only selecting the .pit file for PIT part of Odin, right? I don't think Odin will let you select another file type anyway, but just checking... And the bigger .tar file that you'd get just stays as a .tar when you select it for PDA.
All 3 of those boxes for Odin should be checked (partition, reset, and whatever the other one is).
I've really only had Odin hang on me when I didn't have the drivers installed, when I needed to do the Digital Signature step, and when I was trying to use an older version so here's hoping a few retries work. Like I said earlier, for ****s and giggles run Odin as an Administrator too.

Yea I checked all that. I think the first time I used an unzipped file for the .tar. That's why it finished so quick. I was supposed to use the .tar file without unzipping. This is probably what f-ed everything up.
I'm still trying to bring it back to life. Still get into download mode but nothing else. Not even Vibrant screen anymore!
Ok. I've tried 3 different versions of Odin, downloaded both the pit and tar files several times, and tried with odin flashable roms like bionixfishmanmod and The process still hangs at factoryfs.rfs.
Does anyone have any other tricks to try? I'm all out of ideas.
And every time Odin hangs, The screen on my phone changes from the download screen to a full screen of a random color at which point I have to reset into download mode and start the process over again. I've gone through the process over 100 times now.
Did you install the device drivers and disable the digital signatures in Windows that I mentioned before?
You could also try other USB ports if you haven't.
Hey guys, I landed myself in a soft brick yesterday and odin wasn't working for me (which was a first). Then someone suggested I use Heimdall and it worked perfect. It brought me back to stock and I tried flashing CM7 from there. Now I am back in a soft brick but Heimdall is no longer working (and now odin doesn't even see my phone even though its in dl mode)
Here is what happens with the Heimdall process:
Uploading kernel...
Kernel upload successful
uploading Modem... <(this makes it no farther than 15%)
Modem upload failed!
Ending session...
If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated!
If you get this fixed your may want to avoid CM7 / 9 or ICS for a while.
While flashing CM7 it may or may not have repartitioned your phone. The Heimdall error - is that from 1-Click or the full program?
Does Heimdall see the phone?
Maybe try the full Heimdall program with stock and repartition. Also try Odin again but on a different computer.
I had in instance where I couldn't get into Recovery - I had the ! sign. Odin didn't see the phone but Heimdall did. 1-Click error so I fired up the full Heimdall program and just flash a new kernel. Then restarted in recovery and went from there.
Yet another reason I stay with Froyo / GB and not CM7/9 or ICS. I want to keep a stock style of partition setup and avoid repartitioning the phone all the time.
I am using the one from the link you gave me here: http://www.filereactor.com/zcl1dy7zl...Click.jar.html
Where can I find the full version? NVM I found it my only question now is which files should I use for the flash? The same as what I would use with odin?
Also yeah tried different comps for odin... same thing :/ but heimdall can see it just fine
"I had in instance where I couldn't get into Recovery - I had the ! sign. Odin didn't see the phone but Heimdall did. 1-Click error" <<< Thats exactly where Im at
On a side note: I just said that same thing... after I get it back I'm done with this phone lol I'm sticking with my HTC's... I've NEVER had so many problems in my life, no I remember why I stopped updating my vibrant 6 months ago LOL!

You cant with heimdall :/ I'm going to try using the full version like he suggested but cant find a working stock firmware link
This is getting extremely frustrating... Im reading the guide on heimdall and they say to add about 5 files but mine has nothing like that... I can only add the "heimdall firmware package" and the pit file :/ I tried getting the firmware file from sammobile but their download links dont work for some reason... nothing seems to ever go right with this phone

Yeah you can but you'll need the real version, and I'm pretty sure the new one is based on packages, so you may want to get the command line version.
Paraphrasing of course:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage --cache cache.rfs
--dbdata dbdata.rfs --param param.lfs
--factoryfs factoryfs.rfs
When you say full version are you talking about this?
http://i.imgur.com/CFAaH.png
http://i.imgur.com/apm5G.png
also would you know where I can get the stock firmware other than sammobile?
It may have loaded a kernel for you via heimdall. Can you get to Recovery?
Im at work and cant check but - I think the Odin .tar package is just the Heimdall individual packages. Extract the odin image. You will also need the 512 pit file.
Heimdall should have come with instructions. That front end you will prob be working with the 2nd tab since you dont have a full Heimdall package.
Edit:
Also look for difference Odin versions. Sound silly but some folks got an older version to work.
First I read all the stickies and tried every installation to go back to stock but Odin just freezes up. Also tried different USB ports and and computers and same results. I can only go into download mode.
You may need to repartition. Not knowing the history of how your phone got to where it is now, I can't be sure. Can you give me a complete rundown of your issue?

How would I go about repartitioning the phone? I full wipe and flashed the new Shostock3 and it was doing fine. The next day when I woke up my phone had the sleep of death. The Galaxy S2 logo was stuck and I tried to get into recovery and it only showed half of the screen and was frozen. Now the screen says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Go to the Download Repository. The link is in my sig.
First, try flashing full stock Gingerbread. Use the download under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the full distribution which contains the bootloaders. It doesn't matter whether you use the one-click downloader, or the tar.md5 file with Odin stand alone. If this flash completes, then you're recovered. Follow the guides to root and install a custom Gingerbread kernel, then flash back to SHOstock3 or whatever firmware you want.
If this flash does not complete, then download the I777 UCKH7 PIT and use that in Odin stand alone with the above tar.md5 file. Insert the tar in the PDA slot, the pit in the PIT slot, and check repartition, then flash.

If you didn't try it already, now go back and flash just the tar.md5 file without the pit, again, and see if it will complete.

Yes, I was hoping that the problem is not hardware, but it was a thought from the beginning, given the sequence of failure. Is the phone by chance still under warranty?
Let's don't give up yet, though.
Things to try, then try to flash the full firmware in between.
1. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the I777 secondary bootloader.
2. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the param.lfs.
Try the instructions in this post.

You can already get into download mode. I don't believe there is any difference in the download mode produced by a jig. A jig is really helpful if the wrong secondary bootloader was flashed by accident (or ignorance), and you can't get the phone into download mode any ohter way.

Same issue here, The phone's stuck on Nand flash in Odin. Had tried all recommendations suggested here... Any updates on the phone sent to mobiletech guys?
I was told the only way to get my phone to be restored via Odin is to flash a "test build" of a firmware because it is the only kind that will truly fully delete everything when flashing, anyone know if this is available anywhere?
Thanks
Not that I have ever seen.
Who told you that?
I would think you should be able to use the reset option in ODIN when flashing.
What problems are you having that flashing the stock file in Odin isn't fixing?

The not seandroid enforcing is cause of the custom recovery. I ran into something similar awhile back and it was the kernel.
