ok i flashed team whisky 2.2.1 4g based rom to vibrant later i flashed stock 2.2 kernel on team whisky site. I know it must have been a wrong kernel for the rom. But can any plz tell me the easiest way to get my phone back running it only goes to the boot samsung screen i cant get into clockwork but downloading screen. Please and thx plz provide links
You need to use put your phone into download mode, use Odin to flash .
update
the rom i had was bionix frost 2.2.1 is there some kind of way to just reflash a rom to get my phone back running
You can PM tomorrow, if you don’t have the files.
Yes,you need a tar file and using Odin
Your phone is soft brick! You can still flash but only by using Odin. Do you know how to use Odin
If you can still get in to CWM and you left the ROM on your internal SD, just re-flash. Everything should work after that. That would be the easiest way, followed by ODIN.
As long as you have a complete ROM on your internal SD card you should be able to get into recovery (hopefully) via the hardware buttons and re-flash that ROM with its correct kernel.
Otherwise you are stuck having to go with odin/heimdall and flashing it that way.
Goodluck.
how exactly do i use odin i downloaded it but what do i have to do first i still have a copy of the bionix rom on sd
Use the Vibrant Toolbox here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 It's the easiest way to go back to stock. Also, anytime you have a problem like this it's best to just Odin back. Reflashing through clockwork can leave alot of bugs.
here is some videos that you can watch

About time... for a bit I thought this will never come!
Can I install CF-Root 3.7 B80 on this directly from CWM 4.0.0.9?
If not, what shall I do before?

U can try a simple dirty trick to make cfroot works with any rom(or maybe just gingerbread) without loosing wifi capability. Rename ar6000.ko file in /system/wifi as ar6000.ko.bak using any filemanager that have root capability(obviously u need to be rooted before attempted this). Then get ur hands on ar6000.ko file from kpn and put it in the same folder as previous renamed ar6000.ko file, give it proper permission and flash cfroot b80. This trick works with zckpa china fw, so in theory it should work on other rom too. Btw dont shoot me if this doesnt work, im just helping

I kept my self really busy, let me tell ya what I did so far:
1- Flashed the new FW with Odin, things are smooth there nothing major.
2- Installed CWM 4.0.0.9, smooth and easy.
3- Installed CF-Room 3.7 b78 and then b80, had weird stuff going back there but it eventually worked, I lost the boot audio on the Samsung logo.
4- Installed EXT4 converter, no problem.
5- Started converting from RFS to EXT4. first time it finished converting but refused to boot correctly, I re-did all the above and started to convert again, now it refused to convert the /system, saying I don't have enough space for the restore, it kept failing here until I freed some space by using Titanium Backup and removed crapware, tried again and now I have EXT4 instead of RFS.
6- Enabled Apps2SD using the Tweak Manager DT: Auto Start.
7- Flashed the Apps2SD GUI, the phone rebooted a couple of times but it didn't install, couldn't see the icon of it.
And now, I must have some sleep! Good night ya all

CF-Root b80 already have this solution.
To install CF-Root to Gingerbread ROM: flash CF-Root recovery b79 using Samsung default recovery. Reboot into CWM recovery, flash CF-Root boot b80.
Indonesia offical Gingerbread update: DXKP9
If ketut is happy, then we all should be happy too, when do you think you can start working on it?
I so far had around 3 or 4 SOD's, not sure they're caused by the ROM it self or the stuff mentioned before that I installed on it, the ROM also randomly reboot it self while working, it crashed and rebooted while I was in the middle of a phone call :/, this only happened after installing the C-fr 7.3 b80.

If I were you, I'd use Kies to do the upgrade, you have the official ROM installed, why not use the official tool too?
If you don't care about the official tool then simply map each file type to the right section in Odin, you can still perform the upgrade without having the modem file.

I've been searching like a b******d for the official ROM but in .zip format so I can install with CWM. Reason being is that my phones USB/Charge port is f****d, so it doesn't let me flash via odin. I also have Mobile Odin Pro but that keeps f*****g crashing on the ROM I have installed just now, so I can't bloody change ROMs, it's extremely irritating.
Just wondering if you guys know of any because I can't seem to f*****g find one and I am seriously about to throw the b*******g phone off a wall.
You told you have installed just now a ROM from mobile odin, which is crashing, you must have selected pre-root option, and CWM injected??
I have not heard of any official CWM flashable ROM yet..
Why you *******tly required an officilal ROM, you could have selected Custom Rom?

Genuinely don't understand what you mean. I have previously installed a ROM the other day via CWM. I cannot find the .zip for the official ICS to install it via CWM. I cannot use the .tar.md5 files on mobile odin, because mobile odin keeps crashing on the ROM I have installed. I cannot use the USB on my phone either so that rules out any USB flashing with Odin.

Sorry I understand what you mean now....
Since your current ROM not allowing you to use Mobile ODIN, you have still option to flash a ROM from CWM which will allow Mob-ODIN to work flowlessly, chose any GB stable version closer to STOCK, like checkrom...then flahs Official from MO
Every ROM zip file I attempt to flash via CWM or TWRP doesnt work. I was on stock ICS (4.0.4) which I flashed using Odin. Every JB rom, stock or custom I attempt to flash with a recovery freezes either at boot up or first screen of initial setup. No errors are given on actual flash, it always looks good. . I wiped everything I can wipe, which is everything but emmc I think. What could be the problem? I have now flashed official JB through Odin twice with no issues.
Do you check that the ROM is downloaded properly by checking the md5 hash?

Try flashing a new recovery using odin then try to flash the rom in recovery afterwards.

Ive flashed twrp 2.5 twice through odin and then tried to flash a rom with no improvement. Im really stumped 'cause flashing roms with odin works fine everytime, so it would seem nothings physically wrong with my device. Should I try a different recovery program? Using cwm and twrp give the same result, so Im skeptical a third recovery would be any different.
cheers

Only thing i can think of is look at the file format that youre trying to flash.
Is it zip? tar?
I may be wrong but cwm only works for .zip files from my experience. not .tar md5 etc.
why do you need to flash it via cwm? if its flashing through odin whats the problem?
It sounds like what ^^^^ is saying. Recovery flashes zip files and Odin flashes tar files. Don't confuse the zip files your pc uses to download the files with these.
When using odin I have to use ROM s which are .tar, so this basically limits me to stock ROMS. The custom ROMS are .zip which I can only flash with a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. I'd obviously like to flash the custom ROMS which are .zip , however it isn't working for me as I mentioned in the opening post . Not sure how to fix this problem .

Good idea. In a recovery zip file will be a couple of folders. One of them will have a tar file you can flash in the phone or pda a lot in Odin.
Thanks for the suggestion but I had no luck . I have tried extracting padawan JB and a debloated stock JB rom and they extract many files, folders, apks but no tar I could locate. Also I am not sure even if there was a tar i could use if it would be safe to use. If all this was good, it would still be a cumbersome workaround and wouldnt fix my problem of not being able to get a ROM installed via recovery to work.If I have no choice I'll use odin to flash custom ROMs (if there is a way) but Id rather get it to work with recovery.

If you're flashing between TW based to AOPS, or pretty much from a rom to a completely different rom, you will need to WIPE your data too, or better, do a complete wipe (factory reset). I had this issue when moving from Stock TW-based rom to Padawan JB rom. I did a factory reset (complete wipe) and it booted fine. But then again, I'm used to TW so I flashed that back.

I've wiped everything I can wipe between flashes (includes factory reset), many times trying both TWRP and CWM for flashing and wiping with no luck unfortunately. The wiping doesnt seem to help, different custom recoveries don't help, so I'm stumped as to what the problem could be.

Me too. Every rom freezes during the app optimization screen...usually at about 3/4th the way through. What's going on???
*edit* Tried to restore factory w/Odin. I'm bricked now. Time for some JTAG love.
Exactly the same issue here.
Every jelly bean ROM, 4.1 or 4.2, stock or custom, as long as I install them via recovery, it either doesn't boot up or gets stuck on the first screen.
If I use ODIN to install the stock ROM, it works fine.
Driving me nuts...
Just throwing suggestions out there but try sideloading the rom and see if itll install that way? Also are you odin flashing recovery? Maybe try to load twrp through goomanager and see if maybe recovery is corrupted?

Hi first of all thanks for reading, I need help, I have rooted my phone using Philz and then went onto flash a rom. First one I tried had no app store so reflashed over it, that one was unstable so now I'm on paranoid android 3.99 which I'm finding OK. The issue is I never made a backup when I put my first rom on of the original Samsung rom so now can't find how to put the original firmware on(I thought I had but turned out I did it wrong) I must say I did all this rooting and rom installing via sd and not odin. Am I right in thinking that all rom files are zip and you only have to unzip them to use odin? So the questions are..
1.do I have to change the kernel for each rom or do some come with a kernel in its file? ( assume some do as where it says kernel on my phone it no longer says philz)
2.can I recover the stock firmware and install via sd and not odin?
3.a back up in Cwm in suitable incase anything goes wrong?
Any help or shoves in the right direction will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance
1 yes roms come with kernel
2 no stock only through mobile or PC Odin. But there is a thread on here that has stock roms in zip format that can be flash through recovery.
3 yes. It's a must before you start to flash any thing.
Efs? Have you heard of it? You need to bk this up now if not and also bk up you're custom rom you're on now and don't forget to bk up preload cuz if you don't the bk up won't work

I've not heard of efs, what is it? I've made a back up and loaded another Romans didn't like it and had no problem really installing the back up. I've tried to look for a stock room to load from sd but can't seem to find one, I even went on Sammy but they all say flash from odin.
