So I have previously used a rom on my phone and I didn't like it, so I decided to try Gummy for Fassy 0.7.2. I wiped my data, etc before the installation of the .zip. I ran the FassyGum0.7.2.zip as instructed. In recovery I could see that it was installing as it should..then it rebooted to a loading screen that shows Gummy and a scrolling dots as though it is loading/installing something.
Well the next step according to the dev of the ROM mentions that after installing FassyGum0.7.2.zip that I need to install ModifiedGummyGapps.zip. Well due to this loading screen that hasn't gone away in over an hour I can't run the second .zip. I have tried to hold the power button to recycle the phone...nothing happens. I pulled the battery, and turned it back on and held the correct buttons to try and get it back into recovery...nothing it comes back to the Gummy loading screen every time so I can't even recover to an old ROM.
Any Advice??
Cheers
Sounds like you need to use Odin to go back to stock, and then re flash a recovery and try again

The problem was you didnt flash teamhacksung build 1 or 2 first before flashing gummy...if you need proper instructions for flashing ics roms look up section 4 of my guide in general section.
I'm having a similar problem, except after it was stuck in a boot loop, I attempted to odin it, which froze and then led to more problems. Currently all I can do with my fascinate is get it into download mode. But, it isn't recognized in odin or heimdall, or windows. It shows up as unknown device in device manager. Uninstalling/reinstalling samsung drivers hasnt helped. I also installed Android SDK with Google Driver Package to see if it would help but it didnt. As of now I'm not sure what the next step should be as i can not odin, heimdall, recovery, or boot it. I am on Windows 7 64bit.

Listen i'm somewhat new so forgive me if i posted in the wrong place.
Just hear me out please.
Ok heres a little s/a. I have a samsung vibrant, last night i flashed my vibrant which was on a rooted vibrant9 rom. To bionix 1.9.1 w/ jacs oc kernal and the voodoo lagfix. Before flashing to the bionix i switched the boot logo and .wav file to one i perfered, i also did the same for the shutdown logo. Now, per the instructions for installing bionix 1.9.1 i took a nandroid backup of my phone on vibrant9 before performing the flash. After i did i flashed using clockwork. Everything went fine, the phone flashed, rebooted and was working great. However i rebooted the phone and relized that the shutdown screen wasnt working as it should because i forgot to include the shutdown.cfg thats required. What i did was took the bionix.zip off my sd card went into it and added the .cfg file i needed. I added it back to the sd card and figured i'd just reflash and all would be fine. Not so lucky however, i tried to reflash using clockwork (which took me to the regular recovery menu you would get to holding down the volume buttons and power) and it failed giving me an error which said "error on line 80". Relizing that the instruction said that if you had the voodoo lagfix you should disable it, i decided to do a factory wipe of all data (thinking that would definitly disable voodoo) after the factory wipe i attempted to flash bionix 1.9.1 again with no luck. After the last attempt i decided to just restore using the nandroid backup of vibrant9 i had taken earlier, the phone went through the restore process with waht appeared to be no problems. After it finished i rebooted from the recovery menu then bammmm. The phone is stuck in a boot loop. Its not a normal boot loop though the initial samsung logo will pop up for a sec then the phone screen will show what looks like tv static for a sec, it just keeps repeating this. To get it to stop i have to pull the battery. Ive tried booting into recovery by holding the volume buttons and the power button, but all that happens is the phone starts into the above mentioned bootloop. As a note whenever i plug the phone up via usb to my computer a grey battery screen pops up but it dosent charge it just sits there, and if i unplug the usb it goes right back into the bootloop. Also my computer will not recognize the phone so using odin seems like a lost cause. I read in a forum for this phone just a bit earlier that its nearly impossible to brick this phone. Have i done the impossible?
Well it sounds like you have hardware locked phone. Also you cannot do a nand restore w/ voodoo enable. That's your problem. There are threads on xda about recovering hardware lock phones. You need to search. If you can get into download mode, you need to flash eugene373's "Froyo that does not brick". Also, once you get phone working, isuggest you keep a disable-lagfix zip on your internal sd.

Great Success
Ok, ok after what seems like a million tries i finally got my vibrant working. After finally getting my vibrant into download mode (by removing the battery, putting the battery back into the phone, holding down both volume buttons and plugging in the phone via usb) i used odin to try and flash back to the factory rom. The flash worked except for an error i noticed when the phone was kicked into factory recovery mode to format itself. There i noticed that at the point when all user data was supposed to be wiped it would have a failure to wipe data. After the flash completed with this error i was able to get past the boot loop. At this point my phone would finish the boot sequence but after the samsung s disappeared the screen would just stay black. However, when ever i pushed any of the soft keys on the front they would light up. So what i did was followed the instructions in the above post and used odin to flash eugenes froyo rom that wont brick. Again the flash would complete but when the phone was kciked into factory recovery mode i got an error and it wouldnt complete it would just hang. So what i did next was use odin to again flash the factory rom and to my surprise it worked. So my vibrant is now restored to its full glory. I owe everything to the patrons of this community. Thanks all.
I flashed Trigger onto my Vibrant, all seemed well. ROM Manager was FCing, so I reinstalled from market, installed recovery from within ROM Manager, rebooted, went into the regular android recovery. Rebooted again, now it doesn't want to boot. Just loops at the Samsung Galaxy logo (after the vibrant, the little "movie" that plays after the Vibrant logo)
Stubborn bastard won't go into download mode, COM9 shows up in Odin, but it keeps looping the intro thing. If I try to flash, Odin just says SetupConnection and stays there.
Will a JIG do anything at this point?
I will admit, I got too eager and may have flashed a gingerbread ROM on top of a froyo bootloader. >.> I admit, that was stupid, but now all I want is to get the damn thing back into download mode...
It's not bricked. Probably just in a boot loop. Just need to play around and get into download mode.

that doesnt make a difference, i've been on simply honey like 2 month on froyo bootloaders and works fine apart from rainbow on boot and not being able to see recovery

That happened to me before, I used and tried a different cable and got into download mode with functioning odin. Also, try removing battery, then put the battery back in. then with pressing volume up and down with power switch plug in usb. Hope this helps. Vibrant is hard to brick.

It is not dead yet, follow the steps as follow thread to go back in beginning and flash rom you want again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Depending on which version of ODIN you are using the sequence works best like this:
1) Get the phone into a download acceptable mode with use of a usb cable (JIG is most appropriate)
2) Have ODIN running BEFORE connecting the phone
3) Now connect your phone and attempt the flash. Version prior to 1.7 were extremely picky with following this sequence. As of 1.7 POST ODIN seems to not bug so much the sequence of when the phone was plugged in.
Report back with your results...

1) take your battery out
2) plug your phone a laptop/desktop
3) hold volume up and volume down + put the battery in
...should be in download mode...I am assuming u have a froyo bootloader...
If that don't work then on step three instead of holding both volume buttons only hold volume up..that works for GB bootloader...
Hey all,
I had CM7 running on my Vibrant for about 2 months until today when I decided to try out some other ROMs. I got Team Toxic's Crazy8 installed but had an issue where the stock bootloader and recovery were reflashed somehow (I must have screwed something up while trying to edit my sd card partition). So every time Crazy8 would boot, it would act as if I made no changes whatsoever. After each reboot, it would boot without any of my settings, apps, etc. from the last boot.
So I decided to try Bionix instead and figured I'd have to get back to stock. I used ODIN to do this and after reflashing the stock JFD ROM, everything passes. My issue is that now when the phone boots up (after seeing the T-Mobile animation and jingle and the Galaxy S animated logo) the screen just goes black. Power button does nothing. If I hit any of the soft buttons, they light up but the screen doesn't respond at all.
I've reflashed using ODIN multiple times now and the same thing is happening. I've also followed the bootloop fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499) step by step but to no avail. I know my phone isn't bricked and I'm far from panicked. I just want my phone back.
Thanks in advance,
Luke
EDIT: Also, in the stock recovery (after resetting user data and clearing cache), when I hit reinstall packages it says:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
And then it just hangs there and the progress bar does nothing.
After some more research, I realized I'm getting the notorious mbr checksum error. Found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888084) and am currently downloading Eugene. I'll update this thread with my results.
EDIT: Finally got it flashed to stock, and it boots up past the black screen. It took quite a bit of digging and dead links to figure it out. Here is the exact procedure I followed:
1. Download Eugene's Froyo-that-does-not-brick here: http://www.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html
2. Open ODIN (as administrator if Vista or Win7).
3. Use the 512 PIT file and Eugene's PDA file (that you just downloaded).
4. Uncheck re-partition.
5. With the phone in download mode, start the flash.
6. When it is done, it will reboot into stock recovery and you won't be able to do anything. Unplug the phone and remove the battery for a second or two.
7. Put the battery back in, but DO NOT try and turn on the phone yet. Hold down just the volume up and down buttons.
8. Plug the USB cable back in. It should go straight to download mode. If you go back into the stock recovery, go back to step 6.
9. Check the re-partition box in ODIN and select the JFD PDA file.
10. Flash again.
You might still get the MBR error message, but you should at least be able to get back into your phone and it should otherwise operate normally.
After trying to fix my phone (black screen with lit soft keys, 2e recovery (no workie), MBR Checksum Error) for 2 days this finally has done it!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this WITH a working link!! I won't ever delete that file again. You really are awesome!!
I recently flashed the new ICS Passion v11 and this first flash was giving me problems...so I went back into recovery and wiped data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache. I accidentally messed up and rebooted before reinstalling the .zip file and now my Vibrant is stuck at the first boot screen and will not go into cwm recovery. So is there any hope left for my phone? Please help!
Don't worry. Just flash back to stock using Download mode.

I tried getting into download mode but it still just keeps cycling the same Vibrant boot screen. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but if I'm not mistaken it is Vol Down + Power right?
Few things.
First. Under your avatar is a Verizon picture. Are you using the Vibrant or the Facinate? They are different and Facinate ROMs don't work on Vibrant phones and vice versa.
Second. See below.
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

Yes, I am using the Vibrant. I was with T Mobile but I switched to Verizon. I was planning on giving this phone with ICS Passion flashed on it to a friend of mine who is still with T Mobile. Thanks for the post about how to get into download mode. I will try it as soon as I get some time to mess with it today.
I have answers!
Hey. I was having this exact problem and I solved it!
Basically, when it goes into a bootloop, all you have to do it take out the battery, pop it back in, and reflash it again. I had this problem for almost all my flashing even odin'ing back to froyo I had to do twice because it froze.
Here was my process:
I went through the process of going into going to Froyo with Odin (twice sometimes if it froze) then flashing CM7(Twice because of a boot loop) and then flashing ICS PAssion V12 (Twice because of boot loop)
Now it works perfect! Also, no need to wipe data/factory reset/cache partition/dalvik cache after coming out of the bootloop. simply take out the battery, go back into recovery and flash it again. should work!

It's Vol Down + Vol Up + Power. then you can let go as soon as you see the word "Vibrant" in white. should take you into recovery
Thank you to everyone that helped me out, especially to you Woodrube. Your post really helped me get things going. I finally got my phone into download mode and flashed back to the stock Eclair firmware with Odin. I then went back into recovery, flashed CM7, and proceeded to flash ICS Passion v11. It took me a couple of tries with all of this because I figured out that the ICS update file somehow got corrupted (Possibly when I flashed the stock rom?), so I just re-downloaded the file and flashed and it worked fine.
Samsung E11058

NEED HELP!!!
my Samsung galaxy vibrant SGH-T959 is stuck on the beginning boot screen. i cant get into recovery. i take the battery out and unplug it. i hold volume buttons and plug it in and go to download mode. but my PC will not recognize the phone. it popped up and said "this device was not set up properly." i uninstalled drivers that i installed and tried Samsung Kies. but it just kept saying "connecting." Odin will not work either. i see how people say just take the battery out while its plugged in. but that does not work either. i really need this phone this is my daily driver. it will not boot at all it just stays on vibrant logo. please help!!!!
I tried to install CM 7 on my Samsung vibrant, but it bootlooped and is now stuck on "samsung vibrant" screen. If I plug it in after pulling the battery to turn it off it never shows the battery screen, just a loading symbol. Can give more info, just not now.
Thanks

Boot back into recovery and reflash CM7 again. This is normal for it to bootloop on install b/c of the CWR mismatch.
Froyo Bootloaders-> Volu +/- and Power, See Vibrant, release power
Gingerbread Bootloaders -> Volu- and Power
vol- and pwr got me to download mode, but I can't get Odin to work right. How do I get to recovery?
EDIT: I think my computer and phone are not communicating, because neither Odin, Heimdall or OCUB are even registering its connection, although my computer tries to install drivers every time I plug it in.
Sounds rudimentary and I am sorry for saying it but this has worked for many a user.
Try a different USB port or cable. Seen it happen quite a few times where they switch ports and everything works just fine.
If you can get into download mode then you should be able to get Odin working eventually.
Okay.
After some messing with Odin, my phone is still not working. OneClickUnBrick is failing, thinks that I don't have Heimdall installed. Do you have a tar that you know is good?
Go to the Dev section and download the AIO Toolbox. It has Odin 1.8, all the drivers, the pit/tar files to get you back to 2.1 then to CM again. Links in toolbox are live again. Don't forget to download the .net files to.
Once you're back on stock and everything is running good again you may want to follow this guide...

...Although it says it's for Miui, it's the same steps for CM7. It'll take you step-by-step through the installation process.

Thanks guys. The AIO Toolbox has not installed yet but it looks promising. I will edit when it finishes.
Also, has Cyanogen made a stable ICS Rom?
It worked, thanks guys! this would have taken way longer -- and maybe never worked -- if no one had stopped to help a noob.
