Omg please help - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys today i tried to instal a stock rom 2.3.3 via odin
i got the version from sam mobile
i installed it succesfully
but when it tries to boot it repeats the samsung logo too many times (like boot Again with out turning the phone off)
then i reinstalled the version
and again i got the sam problem
so i went to recovery menu and tried to wipe
when i tried to wipe it comes a message telling me confirm password now i cant do anything
:|
PLZ help
after that i went back download mode and tried to install version 2.3.6 via odin but when it succesfully installs it , it tells me to enter a password again PLZ HELP I GOT 2MANY PROBLEMS :|

Never seen it ask for password.
Also since vibrant never got GB update I never knew a mobile had compatible Odin packages.
Either way have you tried to flash via cwm?

No such thing as 2.3.X for our devices. Samsung never went past Froyo (2.2) with our phones. You probably flashed a I9000 Galaxy S ROM. ( a no-no)
Go into Download mode. Flash the T959 (Vibrant) Stock JFD (2.1) Odin package WITH repartition checked.

Use this to get back to stock and to do the rest. Don't be flashing anything that is for another phone, especially with Odin!

[Q] help! cant get rid of i9000 leftovers in t959

Need some help for a strange situation
I was attempting to flash my samsung t959 to froyo 2.3 and came across a site the stated I could use the files for the vibrant gt i9000 and flash via odin. Well guess what that didn’t work it booted up and worked ok but some functions were severely hampered. So I reinstalled eclair 2.1 via odin everything was fine but when it boots up the gt i9000 screen shows first than the vibrant screen followed by regular boot up.
I rooted the phone and tried installing a rom but it wont install. when in recovery mode it will just install the update.zip folder and not the rom I downloaded with the rom manager. I have a feeling there is some of the gt i9000 software still in the phone but cant figure out how to get it out.I have flashed several times using odin but still the same. If I want to get into recovery mode the 3 button way I have to use the buttons that the i9000 would use not the t959. That’s what makes me think there are remnants of the i9000 left over.Anybody got any ideas for getting the back to stock 2.1 so I can install a rom?

you installed the gingerbread bootloadder easy way to solve your problem it flash the stock bootloader via odin which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
thanks button if i helped
Thanks for the info I am going to try that when I get back from Alaska. In you opinion what is the best most stable rom out there for a t959. When I download the rom and put it in the root of the sd card it should not be unzipped correct?

yes you dont unzip the rom. also one of the most stable roms for me on 2.2 is trigger 3.1 and for 2.3.4 simply honey
Is there a rom that uses odin to flash the t959 to 2.2.1? Any rom I have tried using the reboot recovery method does not seem to work. As far as I know I am installing correct.
Downloaded update.zip to the sd internal removed external sd
ran recovery and installed update .zip
have superuser icon so the root has been made
downloaded rom manger looks like it works connects and lets me look at the roms I can use etc.
downloaded several differant roms and tried to install all it wants to do is install the update and does not install the rom files.
The rom files are zip files and I do only leave one rom on the sd card at a time allong with the update.zip file. I dont get it.
Did you flash recovery in ROM manager and reboot into recovery. Then reinstall packages and reboot into recovery?
You can keep as many ROMs and kernels and whatever you want on either sdcard. I have both filled to the brim.
Eitherway you could use Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick in ODIN but that might be 2.2 actually so ignore that, lol

Odin Flash Failed, Now Phone Won't Boot

hey guys, I was running my S3 on the paranoid android(2.99) just fine but then I tried to flash 2.54 over my 2.99 install through TWRP. It flashed fine but then it was stuck on the PA bootscreen so then I tried restoring a backup through TWRP but it said no backups found even though I made 3, i later realised they were in a different folder and I couldn't get them.
Anway, desperate to get a working phone, I downloaded the I9300XXELLA firmware and flashed it via ODIN, it failed so I disconnected my phone and now it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, select recovery mode through kies". I cannot go into recovery or download mode.
Is there anyway to get my phone to work or have I successfully created a paperweight?
The phone was bought from India. If I need to provide any information, let me know, I'd love having my phone back.
First step is to source a USB recovery Jig to get to download mode .
That fails its a service centre .

Is My Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100 bricked?

Okay so recently I rooted my phone, no problem with the process, I used odin to change the kernel so it will be able to root. I then download a custom rom which is jellyBAM to my desktop. I waited until it was downloaded (I think it was around 285 mb) and I really don't know how to change roms and stuffs so what I did is I transferred jellyBam to my phone and found a rooted app called rom manager. I runned the app and pressed download rom from sd card and chose the jellyBAM (btw it was a zip file) and pressed download. After that it rebooted and it came to a point where it was just showing the name model (Samsung Galaxy s2 i9100) and this caution symbol underneath it. So the big question is... Is it bricked? Can i recover it? I can't put it in recovery mode but the download mode seems to be working. Should I install a stock rom in my phone using odin? or should I install a kernel? please help! ... :crying: :crying: :crying:
You should read some and be relieved
And rom manager & s ii dont get along well.

I've been searching threads similar to mine but I couldn't find any! just wondering if I can restore my phone using download mode.. Thanks anyway
Do the reading thing again, it's all there.
Reflash via cwm or flash a stock rom via odin.

So if I flashed a stock rom using odin, will it go back to normal? will my phone be unrooted?
Yes to all.

S2 stuck at boot screen

Currently stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S II" logo during boot and it won't go past that. I can't seem to get into recovery mode, but I can access download mode.
I was using Shostock v3.0.2 (latest) and the Jeboo 1.3b Kernel.
SuperSU had an update and I accidentally pressed "twrp/cwm" instead of "normal" which made my phone reboot and has been stuck at the Samsung logo at boot up since then. When going into download mode, it shows that the current binary is "Samsung Official".
Would I have to use Kies to restore the phone back to factory or is there any other workarounds to get it to work again?
Thanks in advance!
You don't have to use Kies, but since it won't boot into recovery, you will have to load stock firmware. Your options are Kies if it will restore the phone, or, since you can get into download mode, flash the stock firmware with Odin.
If it were me, I would flash 4.0.4 UCLL6 plus root from the development forum using Odin3 v1.85, and then install Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin pro, and flash one of the custom kernels that are linked in the OP of that thread. Then you can load and flash SHOstock 3.0.2 again if you want.

Alright I will try out your recommendation and let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for the quick reply. :good:
Alright I was able to flash back to stock 4.0.4 using your thread/guide. Will flash a custom kernel now.
Back to SHOstock again!
I had the same thing happen to me today.
I had to clear the cache on the phone and factory reset it after installing the 4.0.4 UCLL6 from creepyncrawly's sig.
It took 5 minutes or so after I did that of it sitting at the AT&T logo before the phone came up.
It sucked.

[Q] S2 stuck on samsung logo

Hey guys, i was running the latest version of Slim Kat rom for my i9100 when it turned off and then was stuck on samsumg boot logo. When i try to access twrp it just says teamwin and wont go any further. It happened once before and so i just flashed a stock rom and then went back to rooting it. However, now when i try to flash any rom (stock/custom), or another recovery with odin it freezes at "nand write start". I have access to download mode which is really the only thing i have working atm
Ive read around and done everything (eg try other usb ports/cables/odin version) but no luck. Is there anything else i could do? I dont wanna do a pit flash cause im scared ill completely screw it up.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
