T-mobile update help!

Today i woke up to the new Update for the vibrant. So of course i tried to update it. My phone is rooted if that makes a difference running everything else stock though. I did the one click root or whatever it was. Well i clicked update and sat my phone down as i got ready. Come back its at the boot screen where it says Vibrant and Samsung in white. I figured it was just loading the new files and just taking a little long. Well by the time i got to school it was still like that so i removed the battery so it would not overheat. Replaced the battery booted up and stalled on boot screen again. This time it made the opening music but never transitioned screens. So i took battery out replaced it and went into clockwork and did a nandroid. Reset it same thing happened. Tried that with three of my backups of previous dates. all failed. so i decided to wipe all data of the phone or factory reset. still stuck at boot screen.
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. if you need any other information just let me know.
same thing here. i've done all those steps. when i get home, im going to try and update the JI6 update through ODIN. i'll let you know what happens.
Common problem, easy solution..

Vibrant Rebooted after usual Stock Oden Recover to 2.2 and never came back to life???

ANY HELP WILL DO.
I work for T-Mobile and have plent of time to learn how to do things the right way. I became familiar with ADB, Flashing roms with CWM, and bricks and freezes do not scare me.
One day i was reverting to stock. Oden completed with a bright green pass! My phone rebooted, finalized the recovery, rebooted again, the screen went place and never came back on. I attempted to hold the power, change the battery-NOTHING-The phone remains powerless never to reboot again. I had not not done anything crazy before-JUST TESTING OUT ROMS. I currently have a working vibrant that i flash and recover everyday. I now purposly do not disable lagfixes and try random combintions of kernals and roms. Although i have had some crazy outcomes, nothing like that has happened again.
Does any one know for SURE what this means or does any one have any direction on how i can remedy a vibrant that no longer turns on or shows any signs of life. IF SO, AND YOU CAN BE RESPONSABLE FOR THE FIX, YOU MAY HAVE IT AT AN -UN-GODLY-CHEAP PRICE

Odined back to STOCK Eclair2.1 about 20x still STUCK AT BOOTSCREEN

I have my vibrant for a year now and installed Eugene's Ginger Clone with no problems for I think 6months now... but then suddenly my phone hanged so I rebooted it then got stucked at Vibrant Samsung screen.. I decided to Odin back to STOCK all is good I can hear the T-Mobile chime at boot but my screen is still stuck at the Vibrant Samsung Mode, before i Odined I managed to run clockworkmod did a restore back from stock same thing happened stuck at Vibrant screen. By the way I dropped my phone about 8 months ago and had cracks on screen but it is still functions like new.
Please help me even if I normal reboot my phone I can still hear the Tmobile chime but still stuck at Vibrant Samsung text and still lights up the buttons when I tap into it..
Your Help would be much appreciated.
-Edit-
I have Odined back stock like 20 times still the same STUCK on BOOT SCREEN and ODINED also using EUGENES FROYO DOesNT BRICK like 10 times but vibrates 3 times every few seconds... PLS HELP ME....
is the screen all black, but the haptic keys are lighting up?
No the screen isnt black, its like im stuck on Vibrant Samsung boot but i can hear the Tmobile chime. when i left it for about 5hours the battery is completely drained.
what seems to be the problem?
This happened to me a while back. Senior developers called this a "soft brick". To fix, you need to flash (via ODIN) with Eugene's Froyo ROM (no brick) and then flash a stock vibrant rom. Sorry that I can't post a link to that froyo rom, but just google it. Hope this helps.
I followed your advice man and odined Eugenes Froyo doesnt brick but when the phone restarted it I got stucked this time the Galaxy S Logo and the phone vibrates every few seconds i dont know why is this happening any help from you guys is much appreciated.
Im trying to wipe/data factory reset but I cant, i just can navigate using up/down volume buttons but can not press OK or Enter
For the no brick...
You need to read up on it, but you flash it in Odin, check to not reboot, then you flash stock jfd in Odin over it.
It's been a long time for me, so be sure and watch a video on YouTube, or read a guide first.
Short and sweet, your phone will be fine, you aren't bricked for good.
Sent using the XDA app.
what I did is odin'd to Froyo doesnt brick then odin'd again to stock 2.1 what else am I missing? i read a lot of tutorials including yours, on how to get back to stock but same thing happens.. still stuck!
What do you mean by not check reboot sir? Is it on Froyo dsnt brick? If thats the case what I did is.
Odin'd Froyo doesnt brick uncheck all except PIT and PDA onced finished at download mode screen I pressed keys to get to recovery mode, Odin detected my phone then flash to stock jfd over it. still to no avail. stuck at boot screen.
I did this because I cannot boot up Eugenes (no brick) for some reason it stuck on boot screen and then vibrates randomly, never boots up completely

thanks
WEIRD!
I think my phone is really messed up.. I installed any ROM i could imagine both CWM mode and ODIN but still cant get pass thru bootscreen,
on stock JFD I can hear Tmobile sound but on any 2.2 based ROMS it only vibrates a few seconds then reboots the phone and vibrates again...
I had no problems going Download mode or recovery mode works fine.
Only problem is I cant get pass thru bootscreen on any ROMS i had flashed.
Help!
I should have a heimdall one-click prepared tonight which will be a totally sane flash and tell you if anything went wrong.
thanks Adam, hoping to see that thing wakes up our phone
You may want to try this flash eugene's froyo that doesn't brick, then flash the stock, then flash any gingerbread rom together with the gingerbread bootloader..it works for me..hope it works 4u..i've flash the simply honey rom..u may try this =)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
still no luck.. i think this is hardware problem already because not even a single rom booted on me past the Vibrant screen.
Try my thread, if it doesnt work then its a hardware error.

OP -
If you are up to it, ship it to me and I will see if I can fix it. I don't steal phones.

[Q] Yup...yet another boot loop!

OK. I have had my Atrix 4G since it first came out. I rooted it and installed apps and made customizations to it, etc.
I never installed a custom ROM since the tweaks I made fit my taste enough to not need to install a custom ROM. I have thought of it...but that is for another time.
Anyways, I recently changed fonts on using FontChanger and everything was working fine. However, last night I decided to change to another font and after rebooting my phone, I am now stuck in the ever so pleasant "Boot Loop".
I have tried wiping and restoring back to factory defaults, which appeared to work, but once I start going thru the process of setting up the phone and getting to the "home" page, the phone will suddenly automatically reboot and start to loop again. I can perform a reset which allows me to go thru the setup process again, but it suddenly reboots again after a few minutes.
I am guessing that perhaps the font is still causing problems, but I am not sure how to check to see if that is the case or not.
I have looked at other boot loop threads but I keep getting a bit confused as to what I should attempt or not attempt to do. It seemed to me that loading the 1.2.6 SBF might be my answer, but I have read that I could brick my phone doing that. Not to mention that some of the download links are dead....
Sorry for being yet another numbnutz and the long thread, but I would greatly appreciate some guidance on how to recover!
Thanks!
Ok... So after resetting my phone a few times I noticed that it goes into the boot loop cycle once the screen shuts off/or goes into sleep mode. If I keep the system from going to sleep everything appears to work fine.
My guess is still a font issue, but I thought a factory reset would've replaced the font back to default.
Anyone experience this issue or something similar to it?
And as a second thought can someone link me to the default fonts that I can try to reload?
UPDATE: well it looks like i am good to go again. It just occured to me that I can just download and use FontChanger to replace the bad font with the stock font. i let me phone go to standby mode and it didnt boot loop.
MODERATOR - Please feel free to close this thread as I believe I solved my own problem.

stock phone stuck in a bootloop out of nowhere

hello everyone, my stock s6 edge on rogers is stuck in a boot loop all of a sudden, fully stock and unmodded, running 5.0.2. i was just walking and listening to music through bluetooth headphones and all of a sudden it stopped, and i looked at my phone and it was rebooting. so i just waited and its still stuck in a boot loop after an hour. it gets to the lock screen sometimes, and then after like a second or 2 just reboots again. i have not tinkered or have done anything to my phone either, and had no issues with random reboots ever, so i have no idea what could have happened
some extra info, when it reboots it doesnt always go to the galaxy s6 edge screen, it sometimes just shows the samsung logo with the animation. i have also tried to wipe cache and that didnt work either. after a few reboots however the stock theme was applied at some point. also i tried booting into safe mode and that also didnt work.
i really dont want to wipe my phone, but i will if it is absolutely necessary. so if anyone has any other suggestions that i can try out it will be very much appreciated!
thanks!

I have had said problem before under the same circumstances (although it was with a different phone)
Try using Odin to install the stock Firmware.
A thread explaining how is right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If you don't want the firmware listed in that thread, download from Sammobile.
While some users say it does not wipe the phone, it wipes every time I use it
If this does not work, you should get a warranty replacement.
