Laidies and gentlemen,
Here is a problem.
I upgraded my Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S SGH-T959 from T-Mobile USA to Android 2.2 and now I can't pick up gsm network at all.
I tried roms JP3, JP3 and JPK. On first two I simply get a crossed circle in status bar. If I pull out sim the phone will not request it at all. If I put sim in and try to search for mobile network, it will not find any.
On JPK I get black screen after S logo and random vibrations.
I even tried JP3 rom with JPK modem and still no gsm/wcdma.
I also tried both PIT 512 for JP2 and JP3 and PIT 803 for JPK.
Also to ensure Odin3 is ok I tried both v1.00 and v1.30.
I am completly pizzled here.
Just to make sure, I am not referring to WIFI or 3G/Edge. I do not have the basic gsm network to make calls.
Any suggestions??
TIA

So, um, which froyo "upgrade" did you use? You know there's not an official one yet, right?
It would have to have been eugene or master's... Or you used one meant for another galaxy s device, which would totally explain your problem.

I could totally be wrong here as it is 5 am here, but are any of the current froyo roms based off of JP3 or JPK? If I recall correctly they are all JPM or JPO based. It definitely sounds like you flashed something that wasn't for your phone, or flashed something incorrectly (seeing as I haven't read anything about JP3 or JPK).
If you can still get into download mode, here's stock JFD for the Vibrant.
And here's the stock kernel, since you probably need that too.

Did you flash the original Galaxy S ROM?
The radios are different in the original GT-i9000 and SGH-T959.
Did you try following Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and flash back to JFD route?
There is also a new ODIN in the wild 1.7 I believe, check the bible in the dev secion.
More details
Thanks everybody for your suggestions.
Here are more details and answers fot you:
1. I am currently running JP3 with modem from JPK - that I tried out of desperation, installed via Odin3 1.30. Previously I used JP2 and JP3 on PIT 512.
2. JPK blacks the screen out after S logo and gives random vibrations until I pull the battery out. So you might be right about JPK's incompatibility.
3. I already downloaded JPD but it contains no modem or CSC.
4. Would it make a difference if I rold you that on either JP2 and JP3
- my Vol+ and Vol - keys are reversed
- home button does not work
- in recovery mode OK button does not work
- Vol -/Home/Power combo never worked even on original 2.1 rom
- to get to Donload mode I had to have USB cable attached (but not connected to the PC) press Vol +/- and Power
- the only way I get to Download mode now is by adb

Seriously we doesnt know what u talking about froyo. Vibrant doesnt have any froyo yet, unless u using eugene and other rom. My suggestion is revert it back to stock and wait for update. If u have aGALAXYS INTERNATIONAL phone then u in the wrong place

This guy is all kinds of confused. Shouldn't give these people phones.
Listen: You do NOT install something on your phone that is NOT made for your phone. First problem right there. If you want Froyo on your phone, look in the DEVELOPMENT section under the VIBRANT category. VIBRANT, the phone that you have.
What you need to do is ODIN back to JFD and never touch your phone again.
Go into download mode and open up ODIN 1.7 and use the CORRECT PIT FILE for your phone and the JFD firmware. All of this can be found in the development section.
Actually, I'll be nice and show you exactly where.

You didn't answer the earlier questions--where did you get these ROMs? Are you flashing ROMs from the i9000 dev board?
There is no SGH-T959 Froyo update which is why you're having these problems.
Odin back to stock JDF then flash Eugene's Froyo if you're looking to run it. Or wait a few weeks and we'll have the update...maybe.

I had the same thing happen to me last night with my phone not detecting the gsm.
This is what I did, I not tech savvy, but I did I did not like the 2.1 OTA update for the sgh-t959, my phone was laggy everywhere. So I researched and researched about froyo for the Vibrant, and you guys are right there is no OTA update, but it was made possible through the mini kies, first in the UK, then finally the U.S. after I updated everything was great. This is after the fact that a friend of mine said I should root my phone and flash the (cynogen???) custom rom. I have rooted my phone through the super on click method, but I decided I didn't need to go beyond that and I haven't, it's still rooted. SO, I was trying to use an app while at the grocery store, and my phone froze, hasn't happened since I had 2.1. I turn it off and when I turn I off, the home screen never loads, it's completely black except for the status bar at the top. The media scanner keeps on scanning and there is the universal no symbol there. scared the **** out of me.
So I pulled the battery, took it home and plugged it in to charge, let it charge turned it on and left it alone all night without looking at the screen to see if it booted up. I woke up this morning and I was lucky it loaded fine. Can someone please advise me as to what I did?or why this might have happened?

LOL can someone please translate this because I have the same problem - the phone is unable to detect any GSM network. I flashed the deodexed KB5 stock 2.2 ROM, but had no luck with 2.1 either.
Who's your sevice provider? I'm wondering if it has to do with at&t's acquisition of t-mobile. At least in my case.

Hey,
So quick question... yeah right....
But I am about to finish updating my phone to CM7 and I've been using the great guide on these forums.
However, when I go ahead and boot into Clockwork Recovery Mode, right as the phone starts up there is a status bar (I think about repacking) and about half way through it will give me an Exclamation Mark Triangle with the Android Robot and will just sit there.
However, after I do a battery pull - the only thing to do to get it out of the mode it will boot fine into Recovery Mode.
I am using the App to boot into it... not the button method (haven't tried yet).
So I have just done my Nandroid Backup and am ready to install but don't want to do some serious damage.
Also - a bit more worrying is that in the phone's current stock state the "search" and "back" button are no longer working. Will putting CM7 on this fix it or is there something even worse going on.
Thanks for reading - hope I'm not too much of an idiot and that I will be up and running shortly!
Phone details:
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: I77UCK66
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build Number: Gingerbreak.UCKH7

I'm really concerned too because my boot screen shows GT-19100, not sure if this is normal after rooting or not.
Update:
Found this on another forum - so that's addressed:
Nope, that is fine. When you root and install a custom rom/kernal, that is what happens. Apparently, Samsung did not change that boot screen from the international SGS2, thus it saying i9100. The yellow triangle just states that the phone is running a non-samsung rom/kernal. This will not affect your phone in any negative way.

The "stock" state button issue that you mention is indicative of you flashing a I9100 rom instead of a I777 rom. Do you have a link to the ROM you flashed to give you root?
I've recently flashed my first rom and kernel, but the problem is that after flashing it my display has turned noticeably dimmer, not dark, but it's as if its become really saturated and doesn't produce the bright image it used to.
I guess re flashing the stock kernel could work, but the problem is I forgot what my original one was. It's an Australian Vodafone, if that's any help. I've been trying to flash lots of kernels to try and make the screen brighter, but nothing has really helped. I've also tried to do a reset of my phone, but that hasn't changed anything either, so I don't know what to do from there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone.
A few months ago my Korean Samsung Note 1 (SHV-E160S) bricked while updating an application. I left the phone as it updated an application over wifi. When I came back the screen was black. I pulled the battery and after that the phone would not fully boot. It would go into download and recovery mode only.
I have flashed (using Odin) the original firmware downloaded from various different websites. Every time however the loading bar would get to around 80-90% and would fail. When I power the phone up after the fail it would show a yellow triangle with Korean text stating that the upgrade was not completed and please connect to Kies. No access to download or recovery. I have tried restoring through Kies but Kies does not recognize the phone.
I have tried flashing all the different versions of original firmware(for SHV-E160S) I could find(as I do not know the version of the firmware that was on the phone before it bricked). I have also tried 4 different computers, 3 different USB cables, many different USB ports and multiple versions of Odin. Always fail.
I have even tried a suggestion to flash using the PIT file after flashing the PDA file. When I do that the Samsung screen comes up with the blue loading bar but the loading sometimes gets stuck or the phone reboots. But I do have access to download and recovery when using the PIT file.
This phone has caused me much stress. I am at the point I should just buy a new phone as I have already spent many hours trying to revive this phone.
Please if someone has any other suggestions I would appreciate it very much.
Hope this helps

You have to use quincyatt roms for you phone, im guessing you have a sgh-i717 att,tmobile,Rogers,Fido, or Telus ?
never use a korean rom on these phones because there for our phones. I've tried this rom and it didnt work so I had to pull out the battery and go to recovery mode and flash it to my rom I used before.
As for trying to flash your phone back to stock, if odin isnt working, use the flashable zip and flash it through twrp or cwm.
Hope this helps
- Cheers
Actually as stated in my post I am using the Korean Note SHV-E160s.
I am downloading a custom rom called SayanogenMod and also CWM and will see what happens.

No problem. I'm actually thinking of getting a Galaxsy S5 soon if I can't fix the note.
So the Sayanogen did not work. CWM does the same thing that Odin does. It gets to like 90% and then the screen just goes black and stays that way until I pull the battery. Then after reboot the phone freezes on blue bar loading screen...
This is so frustrating....

Oh snap that sucks, the same thing happened to me and I got it fixed by using odin.
Some times it can be the usb port. If you do want another Samsung note 1, you can try buying it off ebay, really cheap.
Hello to everyone, I want to ask for your help!
First of all sorry for my bad english! I will try to explain the situation.
Last December (2014) I bought a THL W200s phone, from China. It's impossible for me to find the seller, because my uncle that was living in China for 1 year, ordered the phone via TaoBao but he doesn't remember to what seller.
Well, the phone was ok, till it fell down to the floor and the display broke.
I mean, the "outside" glass was ok, but the display wasn't.
I ordered a new phone screen in Aliexpress (ask for the link, I can't put any link here) and changed the screen.
The new screen works OK, but I've a problem. I can't get the touchscreen working.
I mean, I can see perfectly the main menu, but if I touch the screen, it doesn't "moves" or do anything, the touchscreen part isn't working.
I talked to the seller, and researched, and found out that might be a firmware problem. Something like that the screen was newer than the phone, or vice versa.
I downloaded and flashed almost all the firmwares/ROM's available in the Internet for THL W200s, that can be flashed by SP FlashTools (I can't use another method to flash because the touchscreen doesn't work), but no one worked completely.
I mean, with all the firmwares/ROM's I flash, I get the same result. Display works OK, but no touchscreen.
Except with this one : Needrom- W200S 4.4.2-KK-09/09/2014
With that one, I get the opposite result, I mean, my touchscreen works, but the display doesn't. The Phone turns on, but shows no image, it's all black, but I can feel the vibration when I press the screen and the touchscreen works OK.
I don't have experience flashing that things, or in basic Android, but I wanted to know if you can help me! I'm desperate!
I would have to "combine" the "part" or file that contains the touchscreen of that ROM (W200S 4.4.2-KK-09/09/2014) with another one, So I can finally get my display and touchscreen working.
Any ideas of how to do it? I tried replacing the lk.bin file of the ROM I mention, in some other ROM's that make my display works, but I don't get any good result.
Please, if this topic doesn't go in this forum, or if I've posted some link that can't be posted, I apologize!
Thanks for reading, if you don't understand something please ask!
PD: I've already asked to the seller for the suitable firmware, but the one that he provided, doesn't work.
Any never firmware should work. How you tried to install firmware? By FlashTool? Flash everything but preloader, it should work. To be on the safe side try latest JellyBean (4.2.2) from needrom. This could be some new screen revision but who knows. Please post your results.

First, thanks for reading!
Yes, I've tried via SP FlashTools v5.1352.01, because I think I can't flash ROM's with CWM or TWRP because I can't get my touchscreen working, so I can't install them on my phone. If I'm not right, please correct me.
As I said, I tried almost every rom that is available in NeedRom for thl w200s that can be flashed using SP FlashTools. But I can't get any good result, touchscreen doesn't work. I'm sure it's only a firmware problem, because flashing the ROM that I describe in the topic, touchscreen works but display doesn't. And flashing any other ROM display works but touchscreen doesn't.
Could you recommend a ROM to try? I don't know what else to do. I'm afraid my phone is lost
What I did to flash all the ROM's I download, using SP Flash Tools, is to select the Android scatter, then in the sliding panel clicked in "Firmware Upgrade", click in Download, connect the phone without the battery, and wait the ROM to be flashed.
I don't know what is wrong !
I had the same problem when I changed my screen.managed to use my back up I made with mtk droid tools.before I changed my screen,I was on the 4.4.2 ROM which I could now no longer use(black screen), but for some reason I could now install the ROMs from need ROM (which I couldn't use before)and the backups on my phone would freeze when I used them.only the stock ROM I had and the ultimate ROM from need ROM would work.but now the mic no longer works(tested with the google apk,phone calls and sound recorder) and the vibrate does not work and the proximity sensor does not work(tested it by using the dialer but the screen stays dark so can't end the call.so I got a dialer apk from play and that works but in the end I used a xposed module to stop the proximity sensor. really had enough of this phone.
