I'm Screwed!
I was trying to flash up to 2.3.6 with Odin, but I've got an error image...
It looks like a phone icon, with a yellow caution sign (and a exclamation mark) in the middle, with a computer at the other end. It keeps coming up whenever I press the power button to restart. It doesn't boot, it doesn't do anything! Could I have bricked my device?
I''m trying to flash back, but it won't let me! It just stalls at "Setup Connection"...
Can someone help me out here?
gahhhhh! tRIED USING TEH pit FILE TO FLASH BACK....NOW I"'M LOP BOOTING AT THE SAMSUNG LOGO! HEEEEEELLLLLP!

Thanks all you guys! Y'all rock!

Was in Odin trying to go back to complete stock from having rooted, clockwork recovery, etc... I got a fail message in Odin and now my screen on my phone has sa picture of a cell phone and a computer connected by a yellow exclamation mark in a triangle.
PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU!
UPDATE: NEVERMIND... FIGURED IT OUT. PLEASE DELETE.
Although bricks are an important part of development, you got the wrong kind
Pull the battery and put it back again. Put your phone in download mode and select the correct pit file. Make sure you flash JFD, not some JIx or it won't work.
So this phone is really frustrating me...
I tried this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
I think I make all the step correctly.
1. Installed drivers on my pc.
2. Downloaded 3 files: ODIN, PIT and PDA.
3. Put the Vibrant on Download mode.
4. ODIN detected it, I selected the 2 files... I tried with RePartition check and uncheck...
5. Then hit start, everything runs fine and ODIN indicate PASS.
But... Still boot looping...
When I boot to recovery I have the original recovery (2e).
Can someone help me please? Im really frustrated.
All of this begin because I made a mistake and used a Samsung Galaxy S 4G rom to flash it using ODIN...
I know it has solution because its boot looping.
Best regards,
Omar
I'll link you to some files that may do a better job. I can't tell for sure if you're actually using the right files to flash your phone back to stock or not. Chances are, you're not. Check your messages, and I'll link you to the files in my Dropbox to download.
can you show links here or link me as well. I am having the same problem and i have tried flashing a whole bunch of vibrant roms/kernels but cant stop the phone from boot looping. Thank you.
I would also like to get these files, having the same problem and tried the same methods to fix it and nothing...
Once you got to the point to boot up, did wipe Dalvik, cache and reset first and then try to boot? This is ususally the reason for bootloops.
For some reason I can't get into recovery (holding the 3 buttons) now... I can get to download mode, though.
This phone was bricked and could restore the bootloader with a Riff Box. Now, after the Vibrant screen, the phone turns off.
Hello again fellas, I'm hoping someone helps me out of a bind I'm currently in. I just flashed JFD, but the phone is stuck in a boot loop. Here are the symptoms:
After Odin3 shows PASS:
1) Phone turns off, but instead of rebooting, shows transparent battery icon with spinning splash, blank screen, transparent battery icon with spinning splash.
2) If I disconnect from the PC, then turn on, the phone shows a WHITE screen, then the VIBRANT screen with Samsung at the bottom, then white screen, and back to the Vibrant screen.
I have obtained the same results wether "Re-Partition" was clicked or not. I am in the process of d/l AIO Vibrant Toolbox from Bay-Wolf. In the meantime, if anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears (eyes in this case). Thanks.
Did you put the proper pit and tar files in their place? Just try to flash again, you might have just had a bad flash.
Hey, thanks for the reply. After reading your reply, I checked the .pit and .tar files but it checks out.
I have also tried using AIO toolbox and used the files provided by the program but I get the same results. The odd thing is that Odin shows pass. Could it be bootloaders? I know those are sometimes an issue with Captivates, but I don't know about Vibrants.
I have a similar problem, haven't been able to solve it but try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8698655&postcount=150
Hope it helps.
Just to be sure...can you try with the files available on this post, following the provided steps:

Look fellas this has been said hundreds of times around here.
When you flash JFD, untick reboot, when using Odin, because then it gives you a chance to do the data wipe and then the cache wipe, this has been the main culprit in almost all boot looping. and do the same with other roms as well, people just immediately reboot after a successful load, and forget to wipe this data factory reset and cache, clearing this out allows no other ghost data from previous install and the present loaders to interfere with the first time boot up, I used to make this mistake, but since doing this it stopped the boot looping.
I want to thank you guys for replying and trying to help. I will look into the links provided above, and see what I can do. I apologize if I have asked a question that has already been covered here. I'm a frequent visitor to the Captivate forums, and I'm aware what's expected of every member before they ask aquestion. However, I am doing this as a favor to friend, and I'm not familiar with the nuances of flashing a Vibrant back to stock. I also didn't have the time to peruse the forums untill I came across a solution. Thanks for all the help, and I'll update you soon on my progress.

Can you clarify what you mean be "it gives you a chance to do the data wipe..."?
I tried Odin and unticked reboot and then after Odin says successful, nothing happens. There is no window that pops up on the computer or the phone that gives the option to do a data wipe.
I know there's a data wipe and cache wipe option in CWM, but I can't get into CWM or any sort of recovery mode right now...
you're clarification would be greatly appreciated so that I can get out of this bootloop nightmare
So....

Did this get resolved? I am in the same boat working on a friend's phone. Have never had an issue with Odin that I couldn't figure out. But now I'm four days in and about to pull my hair out so the magic fix would be greatly reassuring right now! Help.
You need to enter recovery mode and do data wipe. If it still don't work, try another Odin image.
hey, i'm fairly new to androids and rooting, i was running a biftor rom and everything was going fine, from what i can remember ROM Manager asked me if i'd like to update some binary or something it said it would automatically reboot into CWM but when it rebooted it didn't load CWM instead it just got stuck on the boot screen with an exclamation mark, when i try and enter recovery mode i get the empty battery logo but the circle underneath the battery that usually spins around is froze, the phone has full charge as it's been on charge all night, i can still enter download mode, I've tried to reflash the recovery with 0din but i get more problems with odin getting stuck on 'setup connection' and 'nand write start' can someone give me some advice please? I'm on an S2 i9100 btw, thanks.

reflash the recovery via Odin??? or you mean you flashed a stock rom?
Reflash the ROM or flash back to stock Android via Odin

Above poster is correct, need to re flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Just needed to say here though, never use ROM manager on an i9100. It's a sure-fire way to screw things up or brick, as you unfortunately found out the hard way :/

Hi guys,
well I have following problem:
I've let my SGSII fall down and after some time, just as it was working fine, it turned off and failed to load again. It hangs on the Logo screen. With button combinations I reach only download mode. I can't go in Boot Menu/Recovery Mode. I had Jelly Bean on it.
I would like to save my data, so I still don't want to flash it.
Is there any way to to something, through Kies (USB) or Odin to go in Boot Menu?
After reading some posts I came to the info that there are some files that can be flashed, but still not sure which ones (Rom, dorimanx kernel, Cyanogen etc.)
Any help would be great. I'm opened to learn and try by myself!
Thank You in advance for helping!
some tipps
Ok fellows..at least tipps or some ideas in which direction I should go..
I already tried Kies, but I can't reach the phone..
I have Odin downloaded, I think version 1.85 is what I need.. any tipps what Odin can master? :fingers-crossed:
