First: put a meaningful thread title next time, not "@@@! help plox i nub broked phon URGENT [email protected]@@@@".
Second, I don't see why is that bad, I did the same thing and it's working . Not saying that's the good way, but still. Have you tried repeating the correct steps after that? Flash it again? Or flash something else? Or flash it twice in a row (required for certain ROMs)? Or give more information? Or read the thread about boot loops?
ok thank u. ill try again... i only tryd to flash it once back to stock but i think i got the wrong recovery. im looking for it as multi upload or download is still down. know where i could get them? thank you for the help.... ill let you know if that did the trick...

No idea, look around the forum. Don't flash random files, because if you happen to choose something meant for another device, you might brick your phone.
You could try a plain old Google search for the firmware you may hit lucky .

thank u people i got it up... and running again. muchly appreciated...

I installed and used the FROYO ROM - VIBRANT JK2 , but it had some problems . After that I went to DOWNLOAD MODE and used ODIN to reflash the ROM 2.1 UVJFD STOCK ROM. Then my phone stopped working, when I turned on my phone, on the screen it appear some strange signals : a phone with (!) and a computer . I cannot go to RECOVERY MODE except DOWNLOAD MODE but ODIN doesn't work with the ROMs: 2.1 UVJDD, and 2.1 JE8 . Who can help me with my problems ? Plz help me! I'm so sad. My phone is bricked.
Thanks for your help.
great time to brush up on your reading skills. read the Vibrant Directory stickied above you. I'm sure it's fixable
Have you tried checking the VIBRANT DIRECTORY BIBLE which is stickied in this forum? That would be a good place to start rather than posting a non development question in the development forum.
There is a link titled *How to recover from a "soft brick" on your Vibrant and return to stock. (Phone ! PC error)...I would suggest checking it out.

1. No it is not
2. Wrong section for posting this.
3. Do some reading. Get a stock Rom.
i had this very same problem yesterday and instead-of freaking out and asking GOD for help in exchange of my life, i just read the forum and fixed it my self, please do some search!
Use Odin to flash Eugune Froyo that doesn't break...
then back to Stock Rom with re-partition..
helped me every time even with voodoo lag fix wrong flash....
and yes you can find all this in the bible
^everyone above is right
you will find all the info you need on the page they have sent you to. Its really seems to be hard to irreversibly brick this phone so have hope and learn the ins and outs this time around before f####ing your phone up.

@OP you do have a SGH-T959 samsung Vibrant, right?
Lol I am sorry but the title of this post is just freaking hilarious to me it sounds incredibly frantic and at first I thought it would be mocking someone who posts in the wrong section and overreacts before reading anything haha

Vibrant Directory Bible FTW...
wrong section of the forums.
and
did you get it figured out?
I found out how to do it in the Q&A section, I think. But anyways, I figured out that its pretty hard to brick a vibrant phone, but I wouldn't mess around with it.
Had this same prob, go into download mode (power on holding power and both vol buttons while powering on, after second flash of logo, let go power) Then download stock JFD rom for ODIN. (If odin doesnt see you phone, then unplug and replug while in download mode) Flash the JFD rom via ODIN and your back in biz.
He is obviously freaking out a bit, we have all been there, cut him some slack people jesus.
ITS THE WRONG FORUM is such an asshole move when people are freaking out.

All you need it do is open ODIN, get your phone in Download mode, Make sure you have the right files
PIT FILE-- s1_odin_20100512.pit
STOCK ZIP-- T959UVJFD
PDA FILE-- T959-PDA
and hit the START button
I bricked my phone up a few times and worked everytime.
Tried it on 2.2 & 2.1 update1 Both reflashed to Stock with no problem. Hope that helps.

Hello!
I installed CM on my Galaxy Ace, also used a kernel that allowed me to overlock the phone. So I overclocked to 940MHz from the stock 800Mhz.. all was working fine, untill this morning. I woke up and the phone was turned off. I thought my battery has discharged during the night, so I put the phone on charge, and trided to boot it. Samsung Galaxy Ace logo appeared, but it got stuck there... Tried to boot to recovery menu, as I always do, but it doesnt work! I thought something must went wrong so decided to reinstall new firmware through ODIN. Everything seemed to be fine - ODIN recognized the phone, so I flashed succesfully my Galaxy Ace with new firmware.. Then, when It was supposed to reboot itsef, it didnt. It got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Ace logo, and thats all... I tried pull the battery out, to charge it even more, but nothing... Tried various firmwares, but no luck.
So, my phone will go into downlaod mode, but not to recovery mode anymore. It won't boot up, it shows only the screen with Samsung Galaxy Ace logo... nothing more.
What could have happened? What to do?
Consegregate warned against frequencies higher than 921Mhz .
The phone must've bootlooped the whole night .

Excuse me, you mean I have bricked my phone by overclocking it that high? I thought It would restart it self, or hang up at most, but It actually worked for few hours. Than it turned off by itself. So I thought flashing new firmware with odin (which actually worked) would repair the problem?
Anyone?
u can install qtadb on ur pc/laptop, run it, plug in ur ace and boot it, then look at the logcat provided by qtadb.
btw maybe u fried ur cpu afterall
You wont believe.. I was flashing 2.3.3 firmware through odin, and after a "succesfull" flashing the phone wouldnt boot up - stuck on samsung galaxy ace logo. tried many 2.3.3 firmwares.
My last try was installing 2.3.4 firmware - it booted...
solved...
What does it mean when my samsung has has no network coverage? In phone info there is "|unknown|" @ baseband.

reflash modem via odin.
That was because you flashed a one package firmware and it didn't reformat the data partition to rfs, so it didn't boot.
And about the overnight mystery brick it shouldn't be happening. You need to check your bedroom for demons.
Hey everyone,
I figured out that I lost my EFS folder.. no imei....
Is there any chance to get it back? Do i have to visit a samsung centre for repair?
It seems as if someone took your phone at night and then bricked it.

Lmfao for demons? But who knows, isn't it possible that the phone had a process crash or something and rebooted and got stuck there? I know because that happens on my Ace sometimes. The rebooting I mean. It reboots by itself while I'm using it but that's about it and then it goes back to normal.
Okay guys,
but what to do now, when I don't have my IMEI (= I cant use my phone to call).. ?

Send it to Samsung for repair
Do you think wouldn't be it faster to show the phone to a "non-official-gsm-point"? There are many places where they sell/buy/repair phones. I know they will charge me (but not as much as samsung care for sure) and there is possibility to get the phone repaired on the moment.
sorry for posting in this thread.......
guys i have CM7+oc kernel+ext4+v6 supercharger and all other stuff installed on my phone.....
if at any point, i would want to get back to the stock firmware,what is the procedure??

Hi guys, just new to these forums. I was forced to sign up due to my problems. just about 2 days ago i flashed these to my Galaxy Note Korean unit (SHV-E160S):
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09recovery.tar
i used Odin to flash the recovery file then booted into recovery mode to flash the kernel.. im sure i did right because i was able to use superuser and change my boot animation. unfortunately i found another update to the .tar and .zip file. i'm pretty sure its for my phone too so i went ahead and did the same thing. i kinda made a mistake in the process, i think i wiped the cache and all. dunno if i wiped partition but in the end i am only able to go to recovery & download mode. the Note will power up but won't get past the "Galaxy Note" screen. after that i will just be black. it's weird because it can still connect to Odin on my laptop although the screen is still black. is it a soft-brick? right now i'm trying to download an ICS stock rom and will try flashing it with Odin. i someone can help me please do. sorry by the way if this is a Korean Galaxy Note. this is the best category i could post since the AT&T and the SHV-E160S are the same in specs and all. hope someone could help me and spare me the pain from sending my unit for repair!
Sounds like a soft brick.. it seems you flashed perhaps the wrong file the last time otherwise it would be working like the last flash? ..I don't use odin often but I would restore my backup or just start over and use the last files to flash until you find something different
yeah i tried the others. i am able to flash the 1st recovery.tar but i cant seem to copy the .zip kernel because i dont have access to usb
about to flash stock ICS using Odin, hope this works! i just have one file which is a .tar file, hope this is the right file and don't brick!
OMG, i just pissed my pants *kidding*, the flashing of the stock ROM worked! and not onl that, i'm on ICS! all thanks to xda=developers forum for giving me the idea to flash a stock ROM! thanks guys! i'll never root my phone again i'd rather stay safe. thanks for the reply friend! ICS rocks!
Could you give me stock ics rom for e160s? thanks

I've had it rooted since i got it worked fine till yestrday then no recovery idk why or how it lost but that's where im at I've had no issues till now so there is no recovery at all i cannot remove account it stays whatever Rom i try changes but screensavers etc are the same cannot reset.

First off u dont use odin to put superuser on it...its in the play store all u use odin for is to root thats it u never use again PM me and ill help u with ur problem we can fix anything on the i717 sometimes even bricking!! So dont ever think we cant
cm9
There is a thread in the i717 section that will lead u step by step read and read again! Only use odin to root and to install cwm nothing else! Backup ur stock rom then find a custom rom that suits u and happy flashing!
cm9
it will not even flash in odin now. i just tried it about 5 times and no go.
so how was or how did they dertermin that you were out of warranty ? it came out in like feb so did they say it was altered or somthing?
Ur doing something wrong man.....if u was able to get in odin before now u cant its on ur end not the phone
cm9
if you can get into download mode then start from scratch. I personally would re root
then reinstall recovery then flash a rom. take it step by step. I know there are roms you can Odin that will give you root but since your having issues I would do them separately. edit
just try Odin the stock rom tar since you just want to send it in

Hi,
My Friend brought new s2 GT-I9100 for me.
I downloaded India firmware (GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKE8_I9100DDKE2_I9100ODDKE2.tar) into that from that time it got hanged at logo.
After that I downloaded UK vodafone firmware same problem (I9100BULPG_I9100VODLPB_VOD). Badly I Selected re-partion and given .Pit file also.(u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit)
Wipe data/factory reset also not working ...
Please help me to resolve the problem. More details given below.
Model: GT-9100
SSn:I9100GSMH
FCCID: A3LGT9100
IMEI:359372/04/737835/1
S/N: RVUBB78992H.
And please suggest me suitable firmware.
Sorry for my bad English
So basically you know nothing about rooting/android and you ticked re-partioning whilst flashing with Odin? I suggest you return the phone and get a new one and don't much around with it because the process to fix your phone now is really awkward (if it's even possible).

Yes I agree with you...
I am new to S2. Already I am using Galaxy ace I did everything( Flashing/rooting/installed custom rom's). with this phone I tried many time to flash but It giving the same problem and Wipe Data/factory reset also not happening so I ticked Re-partition. (After reading many threads I tried that one). Any way still your saying possible, so please suggest me I will do that. If not happens finally I will do what you said.
Google how to fix a re-partition. Something about flashing a new pit file. Soz but I don't know, maybe another member can help.
Dudes,
Waiting for help...
Finally my phone working with 2nd rom os...
Trying to bring normal
Thanka to XDA.....
