I assume thet the phone is rooted. You should flash a 2.2 Rom from the vibrant forum first. Bionix, Trigger etc. Once you flash a 2.2 froyo rom, it should be smooth. I like Zendroid located here

If you can get into CWM you should be golden ..good luck
Haha Lapdog hit the Thanks instead of the Quote.
Ok then. Here us what you can do. Hit my signature and download CWR. Open the folder and put the Update.zip on her internal SD. Go here and download this ROM (Derange9). Put it on her internal SDcard.
Boot into recovery (either volume up AND down and power OR volume up + power [depending on whatever bootloader you have]). It will show up Blue.
Tab down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. It will cycle through and come back to the blue screen. Hit Reinstall Packages again and the recovery will go from blue (stock) to green (CWR).
Scroll down to Wipe cache, factory reset/data and advanced->wipe Dalvik. Then scroll to Install from SD and find the above ROM and flash it.
Once done Reboot and profit, you are on Deranged9. If you want to flash a different ROM, just replace D9 with whatever one you want. After it boots up and she is no longer pissed at you, you should get some kisses. Tell er' Wood sent you.
really she wants it to just be stock , it was ten times smoother when i got it then after i tried to put the lockscreens on it , is there any way i can get rid of the 2 bootloaders and just have one and have it be all stock

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I don't know what you mean by dual bootloader. You might want to Odin back to the froyo bootloader before installing a stock rom.
i mean when it first turns on you see it go through 2 bootloaders the froyo one and the gingerbread one First is Galaxy S i9000 logo , then Vibrant logo, finally is T-mobile bootscreen.
i would like to get it back to how it was where it only says the vibrant logo when loading then i would like to odin it to the most rexent stock version
like if i hook it up to samsung kies for vibrant that will fix it right ?
At least two of the recent hard-brickings I've read about recently have involved Kies. I wouldn't touch it. Odin or Heimdall for me.
Info about kb5:
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=t959uvkb5
I'm a little concerned about your initial "i9000". If there is any possibility you changed the SBL, you might want to Odin back to a stock Froyo SBL before loading kb5. Do it in the same session: uncheck "reboot" in Odin before loading the SBL, then after it loads, load kb5. Probably the initial "i9000" just means you somehow got an i9000 kernel.
I think you need to go back to odin3 flash the stock jfd to stock then go in phone dailer press *2767*3855# to format the system to wipe out the old folder then go back to odin3 again and flash the VIBRANT STOCK (FROYO) BOOTLOADER. I hope that help. I did have 2 bootloader like seeing i9000 and the Vibrant logo before

Use the AIO Vibrant toolbox 2.5

Kies won't fix anything. If you don't have much experience, use Heimdall One-Click. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683
It will flash the stock bootloaders and the stock Vibrant ROM. It will be back to the way it was when you (or she) first got it.
Note: It won't let you flash bootloaders until you've flashed it once, so just reflash it with bootloaders checked. If it fails, just keep doing it. It will flash it eventually. I used this when I bricked my Vibrant.

I did all that rooting crap. Now when I press the power putton, it flashes the "Samsung Vibrant" Image, then plays the tmobile tone, but no "S" image appears. And it stays black. How do I fix this?
define "all the rooting crap"? Did you flash a Voodoo Rom and try to flash something else on top of it?
There is NO way to tell you what you need to do unless you tell us what you did.
But based on what you have described.. Gonna say u are SOL.
Use odin to flash stock rom then start over. I have been stuck on that screen a couple times. Lol

Truth be told
Anthony is right. i had this issue earlier this week when trying to flash a mod to my phone. Odin is the only choice at this point.
This has happened to me twice, most recently after "fixing permissions" in the oclf market program. Both times I've rectified by booting into recovery and "reinstall packages". Both times I also removed sim and sd and after a couple repetitions of package reinstall it comes back to life. Maybe dumb luck, maybe not, worked twice...

Also...My Vibrant Wont Turn On
Dear All
I am new to this forum and need some assistance. I recently bought a T-Mobile Vibrant from a friend who had brought it with him for the US. I am using it in the Middle East where I live at the moment.
I have been reading a lot in the past few weeks about the Vibrant and almost everything there is to know. It seems there is always more to discover.
Back to the issue at hand. I had been having problems with getting my phone to reboot into recovery mode but I finally managed to do so last night. I wanted to flash my phone with Axura 2.1E, Nero V2 or the Macnut v14, so I can use the the Black Froyo theme on it.
First, I flashed the original firmware (T959...JDF) which I got off your site, using Odin v1.3. That worked as it should. Then I proceeded to follow instructions to download the ClockworkMod from this thread: [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Vibrant (FINAL! SAFE!)
After I copied the CWM file to the Internal sd card, I downloaded Rom Manager, rooted the phone with Z4root, chose the Samsung Vibrant in Rom manager and clicked install ROM from sd card. it rebooted into recover mode (blue writting), I clicked 'reinstall packages', which it did and it rebooted into the ROM recovery mode (green writting). I chose the option to install zip file from sd card, then chose Axura 2.1E and it installed until it said complete.
So far everything was working as it should, or at least that was the impression I got. I am not sure of this next step. It said installation complete, so i chose 'go back', then 'reboot device'. When it went into reboot, nothing happened...just a black screen. It wont start, neither normally, not into any other mode (recovery or download). i plugged it into the charger and not even the battery icon would come up. i assume that it is...'dead' and I just did the impossible. I tried several ways and combinations to get it back to life somehow, but I have a feeling that's it.
Any suggestions, advice, remedies, whatever help...even condolences would be much appreciated..
Much appreciated and all the best to all.
Cheers
What the heck is up with all these HARD BRICKs?
Past few days, I keep reading people who have appeared to truely HARD BRICK their phone.
Meaning they can not get into download mode, they can not use odin, they are truely hard bricked.
What is up with the sudden surge of hard bricks.
This guy sounds like he did everything correct.
Scary.
Ya I've seen a lot of those also... could it be a newer version of the Vibrant? Yes he did everything correctly... he could try a jig.. its only maybe 10 bucks? worth a try at least...
My Vibrant wont turn on
Thanks guys for the reply to my post. I was thinking today that even though I did follow instructions correctly, that I might have missed a step at the end.
My thoughts went to the fact that after the installation of my chosen ROM (Axura 2.1E) was complete, I was given the choice of installing update.zip again, along with some other ones which I forgot what they were and the option to 'go back'. I went 'back' and pressed reboot device.
If the installation was fully complete, would not the phone go into automatic reboot?
Anyways seem like the boot is screwed and I am getting help from a friend to get it back to life again.
Anyone can confirm what to do after I install a 'ROM' successfully. Is there another step afterwards which I must be aware of to fully complete the flash?
Cheers again

Nah if you read the disclaimers devs put up it clearly says "i am not responsible for bricking, etc."
So no, there should be no specific reason why your nephews phone won't boot, more unless he was running a lag fix and flashed the wrong zip or whatever then yeah...
But download mode is I guess a fail-safe for samsung if the phone bricks or anything, afterall the vibrant is nearly impossible to fully brick

I think thats overclocking, right? Anyways, it happened once with my tab and I couldn't get it back to normal except by booting a new ROM (Starburst). Try this method, but I can't be 100% sure it will work with all people
I had this happen to me
just flash the starburst rom, it installs a new kernel
saved my tab

OK, Ive tried all day W/O any luck, using every method I came across here in the forums, I thought I had the solution with Eugenes stock Froyo with the 2E recovery mode ROM TAR file, but the link to get it is no longer working. And yes Im rooted with ROM MANAGER and have version CWM recovery flashed to: 2.5.1.2
This is a replacement phone I got last month, and all I can say is its a F--kin POS, compared to the earlier model, that wasn't HW locked and had the 2E recovery mode working with CMR. I tried updating the newer update.zip file, but it wont load because of signature verification! Does anyone know how to replace the update file with a script that will allow CMR to go into the 2e recovery [green] menu so I can once again start flashing a custom ROM again, this phones obviously HW locked and is preventing this, and all I keep getting is the Samsung 3E [Blue] menu which wont allow you to select a ROM from the SD card. I need the 2E menu!! Thanks!!

Tried that one a couple of times Bro, did exactly like it said, problem is it wont go past the signature check, because its a zipped file, I also tried replacing the script with what was supposed to be the fix, using root explorer going into system/bin/recovery and overwriting that older script, and that didn't work either, and then I tried using the ADB program while in shell root, and it wouldn't co-operate either, I mean nothing outa all the things I found looking thru the forum is working, and the only one that would've worked for sure would have been Eugenes solid Froyo build with the 2E recovery and Busybox and the other goodies, if the link was somewhere that I could obtain that, I would've ODIN'd that and it would've taken care of the problem and Id be sleeping right now with my vibrant finally working like it used too. I just don't care for using stock Froyo. But, I should've never exchanged this phone after I bricked the first one, using KIE's- found out about that horror stories about 5 mins too late!! I should've just had it JTAG'd by Josh over a Mobile tech, Im so f--kin pissed that they sent me a HW locked phone. Older is better with these phones, the newer ones have all these issues you gotta deal with before you can even Mod the GD things now!!
Anyway, I'm still stuck with nothing but 3E menu and there seems to be no GD way i can flash another ROM until this is resolved. I already tried to flash a ROM using CWM with the install from SD card, but it wont allow the ROM to open because of the signature problem again plus it goes back to the 3e menu, and when ya only have one option saying re-install package, it wont follow thru, and hangs because of the signature issue. Its a vicious cycle, and unless 2E becomes doable, this phones stuck at Froyo, and thats un-acceptable!!

But you got it backwards pal, you gotta have root and ROM Manager installed first , then you get the flash clockwork recovery mandate, otherwise ya cant go into recovery W/O it!! thanks anyway. Oh and BTW, Im really not too keen on messing with the SBL by itself, as that one thing alone can brick these phones, if it gets corrupted during ODIN flashing and Ive already been down that route when KIES corrupted the primary and SBL and bricked my phone!!

Nevermind...
Easiest is to Odin one of supercurio's voodoo kernels (Google "xda vibrant supercurio voodoo kernel"). This will bypass all the update.zip/2e/3e/signature verification error crap and give you cwm as the default recovery built in. No need to flash recovery with rom manager either.
Or, Odin back to jfd, flash recovery using rom manager (better yet, here it is; http://db.tt/Klybpxeo), then install the rom you want.

Hi you may have a partition that is corrapted or there may be something wrong with that telus Odin flash. Go to dev section. There is another Odin flash for telus.

I may have found your problem. When using Odin, and flashing a backup file, it does not format your phone partitions. So you first have to go into cwm and do a factory wipe, wipe dalvik and go into advance and wipe the other dalvik . Do a battery pull, and now put your phone into download for Odin. I have telus kernel, telus modem and telus stock recovery that can be flashed in cwm. Just not sure if I have the stock from still. Pm me if you have any questions

thanks for the help guys.
i dont know if its a partition problem though but it really got me worried.
for some reason i got it to flash properly and it booted up with no problems.
now im thinking thats its the odin software that was causing the problems. the first one that i used to root my phone a couple of weeks back had an "evo 4g" title at the top. it didnt gave me any problems back then so i ignored it. and thats the same one ive been busting to use last night to flash back to stock. anyhow, i tried using a different odin3 that has "android+slp" label on it and i noticed that it was freezing less and actually finishes the flashing but the bootup still has some problems. i get stuck at the bootup logo for a couple of tries. after sometime i just flashed it over and over again until i hit the jackpot.
is there anyway that i can check if my partitions are still broken? im thinking that i wont be doing any flashing until the update comes in july. the ics roms arent stable enough for me anyway.
oh what do i do if wanna get the official ics update? i have stock system, i think, but its rooted. do i just flash stock kernel and unroot it?
i found an article in lockermikedotcom that allows you to unroot using a batchfile. i was wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction. thanks
If you have a stock rom but it is rooted, flashing a stock kernel usually does not remove root. You would have to install stock recovery first and then you adb to remove the superuser and busbox files from your phone to get it totally stock like it was before you rooted it. This batch file DooMLord_v1_unrooting_zip will unroot your phone .It work on the Rogers Note anyways. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7ysrb3v7tfu9t1a

Get back to that point and when it bootloops, pull the battery, boot into recovery again and reflash ICS over itself.
From my guide
Once you are in recovery, scroll down to your folder and find the ICSv? (or whatever version you are wanting to flash) and flash it. First boot takes a long time just like before on CM7. Might also get into a bootloop like in CM7 too. If so, then do the same as before and reflash ICSv?, but this time you'll have to use the Volume-Down + Power (or if on Froyo Bootloaders the above key combo) to get into recovery. Boot up and you are good to go in you new ICS rom.

When you say that you didn't have recovery. Was that a custom recovery or you just saw the stock again? There should be no reason why you would not have recovery of some sort.
Agreed, pop your battery and return to cwm and flash, the kernel has updated, it should go now, listen to uncle wood.
and never use kies for anything!!!!!
Never kies
Go straight to 4.0. No need for in order. 2.1 is easiest to flash from anyways.
I've probably flashed hundreds of times now, test roms/kernel Worst case have to heimdall.
