Hello, I rooted my phone and it bricked so I found a stock rom and now after I did that I tried to go to the app market and every time I try to update packages It says can't install please try again and I get the same error if I download the .apk and try to do it that way, my services were turned off and I can't update versions I don't even know what version i'm running, any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
I would first try re flashing gapps. Then maybe a gapps fixer. If all else fails go to odin town and revert back to stock gingerbread
Okay well I tried to use odin to go back to stock but I could never figure it out, This may make me look stupid but 1) how do I flash gapps and if that works how can I revert back to stock android, I just dont want to ruin my android..
Being that i'm not sure of what you have on your phone (and even if you have a fascinate) I would just say odin to stock. There are various guides floating around. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212239. Just do step 2 but with this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38436349/CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5. That's stock EH03 (gingerbread)
Notes for Odin:
Always use PDA section
Never ever ever ever ever, no matter who tells you, even if Jesus himself tells you, click phone EFS clear on. That will kill your data and you have to call Verizon to fix it or switch your data plan to another smart pone and then back to your fascinate.
Good luck
here is your one stop shop guide...

I have a quite larger problem, I installed the JP3 rom from Eugene and Bionix. Well I revereted back to a nandroid of Vibrant9, thats where my problems began. After the nandroid was finished I seen the GTI9000 screen and it stayed there so I tried to revert back to stock with odin. I havedone every stock 2.1 odin they have posted and they go into a bootloop boot all the way up for about 20 seconds and then reboot. So I managed to get my update.zip pushed to my internal and without having to reroot the phone I got into clockwork mod installed Franken Twiz it works great other than the new problems. My signal either shows to be all or nothing no more individual bars being full, and my market place with download maybe 5 apps and wont download anything else after that. Did I do something wrong I followed all directions to a T help is needed Please.

You could try downloading lookout from the market. It will scan the apps you have. I personally havent seen a virus but im careful what I load.
not to be rude but in the OP it states that my market place no longer works becase of this. none of the antivirus apps actually work they have never been tested with a real virus. if someone can post the apk for a zip file containing that apk for lookout we can test to see if it really works
Ok, was using my odex uvjl4 froyo with oclf and was working great then. My 3g service totaly stopped working. Even the icon was gone.tried rebooting.messing with settings nothing worked. So I decided to try a hard reset.very bad move on my part. Boots up fine and the 3g issue is now fixed but now the android market place is totaly gone from my vibrant. Tried redownloading it and installing it.but depending on which version I try to install.it fails to install or after getting it to install. It force closing right away,when I click on the market. Fck
trying to fix this issue by installing Rom Manager but cant get that downloaded since the market is gone. Omg im lost. How can I fix this issue? I about to loose my mind. Would like to go back to stock or get this rom working right again.Im scared to try odin because my last vibrant got totaly bricked when trying to go back to 2.1 stock. Anyone please help me asap! Thank you!
update fixed!
I'm assuming you have some form of a backup of your apps and other data, no? If not, use Titanium backup to make one, then simply reflash your ROM, that should fix everything.
And if you want to ODIN, which is suggested as it can wipe any unused or "ghost" files from past ROM installations, follow this link:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
this is my savior multiple times over, DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION IN ODIN.
Also, it may be you have a bad download of your ROM.zip, just re-download that, too.
I went in Odin from my stock Vibrant because I had lost my root. I tried to start over and tried to revert it back to stock, which lead to me getting the BSOD. I figured out how to get back into download mode, but I'm stuck in Odin now.
I'm in the stock rom...so I don't want to try and put that back into Odin. I just want to get back to having a stock phone so I can try and upgrade to 2.3.
So, I'm kind of in a situation where I don't know what exactly I need to do to get my phone back to working. I'm sorry if there's another topic like this but I couldn't find one, so I apologize in advanced if I totally missed it.

Read that.
And at first I thought your phone had a BSOD
ok so i wouldnt say im a noob but im not as advanced as some of yous. last night i flashed a leaked ics onto my phone and loved it with one exception. i couldnt figure out how to root it. all my apps are backed up on titanium backup and i didnt want to have to get all of them manually. so i flashed back to stock using odin with a file i used back when that crappy update came out. i rooted it with super one click and and then went to put on a prerooted ics... when in recovery mode now i get this message
cant access to '/system/csc/att/system/'
i try putting on cwm and siyah and i keep getting authentication errors and the installation aborts. also recovery mode wont read my external sd card now. when the phone is booted up it works fine except i tried to do the factory ota update and it keeps failing. i tried reflashing back to stock again and did the update unrooted and it still failed.
i know you guys hate hate when people ask without researching so i did SOME forum browsing and found nothing. sorry i dont really have time to look too extensively. i just want to know how to fix it. i appreciate any help i can get

Start with getting back to stock using this guide. Check for ICS bootloaders too, you probably flashed them and you have to get stock ones back (careful, flashing bootloaders can cause hardbricking). Once you're back to stock and rooted, you shouldn't need to ever use PC Odin again.
Then use this guide for rooting/flashing.
One other note: when you tried to install CWM, it sounds like you loaded an update.zip onto your phone then tried to install it using stock recovery. Stock recovery won't let you install unsigned update.zips, which is why that method for getting CWM on your phone will never work (hence the authentication error and installation abort). For our phone, CWM is only included in custom kernels, that's the only way to get it on there, and don't even think about updating or changing it via other means. Just flash a custom kernel, it'll include CWM, use it until you want to switch kernels.
Hit my thanks button, I was really nice this time. And post in Q/A next time as well.
EDIT: Skip the second guide if all you want is stock. You should be able to update OTA after following the first guide. Though even if stock is what you want, I highly recommend flashing a custom GB kernel because a) they're more stable and faster and b) you'll have CWM in case you need it.
You started off mentioning about "leak ics" which I have absolutely zero experience.
My suggestion:
1. Try to get it back to stock. Make sure it works correctly.
2. If hasn't rooted yet, do so.
3. Getting CMW into the device by flashing custom kernel.
4. From there, install any ICS ROM you want.
Hey everyone, I was attempting to flash an iteration of cyanogen mod on my i777 last night and something went horribly wrong (I think the tutorial I used linked me to Clockwork Recovery Mod for the i9100 or something) so long story short, I flashed a stock i777 rom and reset to factory defaults. My phone is now functional but I'm trying to upgrade to the latest firmware before I try to flash another ROM. I'm running into some problems using Kies though. When I have Kies open and my phone is plugged in, it realizes that I need to upgrade firmware and ask me if I want to. A dialog box opens stating my current firmware version (PDA:KH7 / PHONE:KH7 / CSC:KH7), the latest firmware version (PDA:KK6 / PHONE:KK6 / CSC:KK6), the test "TEST1" then the update/cancel buttons. Then it prompts me to read some disclaimer information (don't disconnect your phone, back everything up, etc) and I click "Start upgrade". Immediately after this a dialog box opens that says "Notice" at the top then in the information field there is just the message "TEST2". At the bottom are the options "start" and "cancel" if I click start, the process continues to download upgrade components, then prepare upgrade components, then the upgrade process begins and I get a notification that just says "Notice" Then a bunch of (what looks like) mandarin characters (I'd post a picture but because I'm a new user I cannot reference external links.) Once I click 'OK' it acts as if the phone has been disconnected and reconnected and starts the process again.
Obviously these messages are very odd and uninformative for an end user like myself. I'm led to believe I'm doing something wrong but can't find any help online (I've tried google and searching through threads here here). Has anyone experience this before? is there an ICS rom that I can flash straight from the stock rom? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Wild guess. U used rom manager.

Not sure about the messages, but when I first decided to try the KIES update when I had restored to stock, I did the KK6 update over the air. Go to settings, then software update (I can't quite remember where software update is in gingerbread settings).
I don't know if this will help, but plugging your phone into KIES with KK6 already on thephone may work.
And, yes as mentioned above, if you used ROM manager in the past, you will have problems.
You mentioned you are back to stock with a functional phone. You also said you plan to flash a custom rom. So why bother upgrading via Kies first? Whatever upgrade you receive via kies will disappear when you flash a new ROM. If you have a functional phone, Just go ahead and flash whatever you are going to flash.
However, it sounds as if your problems started because, in the BEST case you flashed the wrong rom for your phone and, in the WORST case, you might have used ROM manager which a few minutes of browsing the stickies would have immediately told you was a bad idea. So, before you attempt anything else with your phone, it sounds as if you need to do some reading to make sure you understand what you are doing. The stickies are a great place to start.

I tried updating over the air yesterday after I did the factory reset but it told me I was IP to date (obviously not true) and is making me wait 24 hours before I try again. I still have about 6 hours before I can try again. I'll post again with my results. I did not use ROM manager. I flashed the from via Odin mode. Thanks for the replies, guys.
I'm confused about what u did and how u fixed it. And if its fixed. But whatever the case let us know how it turns out.
