hey guys i need to return my phone; whats the best way to format my phone? i dont have an SD card in it either. thanks
If you have not flashed any roms or kernels just do a factory reset. If you have flashed then flash back to stock then do factory reset

My phone was rooted using zedomax's kernel, and is now running siyah. I had to reformat both my sd card and my internal storage so my backups are gone, and I'm unable to connect it to my computer to change kernels or anything of the sort. Every time I try to unroot using odin it refuses to work, and I'm just completely at a loss. I want to delete everything on my phone including the rom and basically reset everything on the phone. Is there any way at all that I can do that or am I stuck with a rooted phone that won't let me even connect it to the computer? I'm extremely frustrated right now, and just want my phone fixed.
EDIT: New update, I am unable to mount my SD card.
A search would have lead you to the 'return to stock' thread.

I would say try mobile Odin and use dropbox to get the stock files on your device. I would be sure to read very carefully first. Maybe even try a different USB cable or a different computer. Also make sure your PC has the kies drivers installed. When you use Odin make sure Odin is running before you connect your phone to put it in download mode. Good luck

Its pretty easy, install the dropbox app on your computer and phone. You put the stock files in your dropbox sync folder on your PC and upload them. Then download them from your mobile app

thanks a lot man. I'm incredibly frustrated right now and your advice seems useful.
This is probably a really dumb question, but what files do I need?
If your phone charges I doubt its a USB port issue and more likely a driver on your CPU or your missing a step in the return to stock thread.

OK. With the one click app open and your phone disconnected and turned off you need to hold down the volume down button and connect the micro USB. Then when the warning screen comes on press volume up.When you do that does a box on Odin turn yellow and say something like com6?

yes, and then I hit start and the factoryfs.img (i believe thats the first step) refuses to begin flashing.

You might give some more info on what all you did or what file you were trying to flash....
Sounds like the problem of Gingerbread root on ICS system, or vice-versa. Just redo your work, ensuring you use the appropriate file for your system.
By the way, NEVER tweak your system until you learn to move important stuff to your external sd card or pc.
Boot into clockwork mod. Do factory wipe, wipe dalvik/cache. Should fix it.

Really? I think the best advice was rangercaptain's advice followed by crixley. OP was using odin which means he was trying to install a rooted kernel most likely from a different android version or he was installing CWM. So I highly doubt he has CWM installed and functioning. So how is he going to boot into CWM??
Well I guess I thought he followed the proper instructions and installed cwm first. I admittedly skimmed most of the posts.

I have to chime in here...I have bricked mine, too, started with 4.0.1...I installed cwm-LATEST touch-i717, followed by openrecovery-twrp-2.2-sgh-i717-signed, ran fine. Then I was going to use Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-d2att.zip, but used the wrong gapps (Google Apps) file, gapps-jb-20120726-signed, instead of Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC8-gapps. Now, I have a black screen, and on my Mac, the thing just connects and reconnects all by itself! Can I get out of this, if I can't get to a restore screen?

You were going to flash the wrong Rom anyways d2att is s3. Would have bricked you right there if you flashed it. If you can't get to download mode or recovery you will most likely need jtag

This means you are still on the ICS bootloader.. First thing we need to do is get a version of TWRP on there that supports ICS. Do not use CWM on prime. Too easy to brick.
What rom do you want to go to ?

Can you get into fastboot? You do so by powering off the prime and then holding down the power button and the volume button the same time for about 10 seconds until you see icons appear on your screen. Then you use volume down to go over to the usb icon and then press volume up to select it. The device will say starting fastboot protocol on the screen and freeze.
Plug it into the pc and check device manager to see if it is installed.
Let me know when you get this far.
The pc recognize the prime. So far its good.
What should I do now?

There is a file attached to this post. Download it and make a folder on one of your drives on pc and extract it. (eg d:/twrp)
There is a bat file inside. Run it and follow the onscreen instructions.
After you get TWRP installed be careful what rom you are flashing and what recovery because they require new bootloaders and if you flash the wrong recovery for the wrong bootloader you will hard brick your device.
Which version of energy rom do you want to install.. Give me version number please.

The one you linked to should be fine. NRG has the bootloader upgrade and the TWRP upgrade built into the rom.
After you get it all flashed and working tho DO NOT flash another recovery as they will not be compatible. Never use that zip file I just gave you again because that will not be compatible and lastly Never use CWM again lol.
Good luck
Thanks man. Wher can I see a guide about the compatble roms and bootloader?

There has only been 3 really.
There is the ICS bootloader the JB 4.1.1 bootloader and the new 4.2.1 bootloader.
Flashing a rom that isn't for your bootloader will not brick you.
Flashing a recovery that is not meant for your bootloader WILL brick you.

When you go to install select internal up the top and then go the folders in the list and select up a level to go to root on the left and then select external_sd. Anything in there?

From your typing, I can see that it has rattled you. I will try and help, but am no genius bar. Did you install an alternate recovery? Twrp, or Clockworkmod? If you pull the battery, and hold down the power button, volume up(or down), and home, What happens? Does it continue to the Samsung animation?

go to the store and get a mini sd adapter. they are super cheap. or just buy an sd card that comes with one and return it when you are done.
First rule of modding.... Always make a backup. I carry around a backup of completely stock rooted on my sd card at all times. If I run into problems, I just use the backup. Your best bet is to do like the guys above me said. Download a rom, and transfer it to the card. After you j get out of this mess, you will be more prepared next time. You had me completely confused about trwp. Good luck

alright ill try but idk if ill get md5 error are if that well even work bc there nothing on my phone.
I will try to keep this short and sweet, but it is what it is. Please don't let this be the end of my phone!! so i had my vibrant rooted and running a cm. 10 rom. i was an idiot and when it randomly flipped into recovery mode and wouldn't do anything else i panicked. I immediately factory reset which wasn't bad but when the problem wasn't solved instead of reinstalling the zip, (I wasn't thinking about it at the time) I figured using odin I would reinstall éclair. now my phone is in boot loop and will only pull up the boot menu if the sd card is in. another symptom is that when i use odin to install éclair everything in the process works as it should up until it gets to the reset then the phone says cannot wipe data... phone reboot then it shows that it is charging and when i unplug it and try to power it up i still get boot loop if anyone knows the solution to this I would greatly appreciate it and any other ideas I could try to bring this baby back to life. ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED
Perhaps you are not using Odin properly? You're using the file called pda .tar and the .pit file? And be sure to uncheck the repartition toggle.

I assume that I am doing it right... from what I have researched it is correct. I have double checked to make sure that the tar goes into the pda and that the pit has pit. but the reparition toggle may be something I over looked. I just downloaded the pit and tar files online would there be anyway that those could be the wrong file or I have to use a proper combination of two files? do you suggest downloading those files from a certain site? Once again thanks a bunch for your comment!

I could not figure that program out to save my life the comments made me believe that its an app for the phone itself. but my phone doesn't boot up.
im kinda thinking that the problem is actually when the phone says cant wipe data. because then the loading bar stops and it boots straight from there. What would keep the phone from not being able to wipe the data?
Use that aio program. Put the phone into download mode start phone while holding volume up and power. Then use the aio oden. It cones with the correct files.

A corrupted internal SD card most likely , have you been on an ICS ROM lately? Try to Odin Eugene's Froyo that does not brick, if this works then you most likely got hit by the EU bug. If this is the case you will have to do the external SD card work around.

The program is an installable computer program. A working download link can be found in one of the sticky threads

YES I was on ics passion for quite some time. Then I went to ics slim then I went all the way to cm 10 jelly bean. would you mind sending me a link or the files for that froyo? also if my phone does have a dead internal, will that effect how the phone runs (using the external?) and is there a way to recover it the dead one? sorry lots of questions! thank you for your comment!

maybe this will tell you more if my phone has a dead internal sd card. I just barley noticed this but the phone actually doesn't bootloop unless the external sd card is in. if the external is in the phone shows the Samsung vibrant logo and then it turns off. if you hit power it will try to boot again.

Not necessarily but it is looking that way. If what Apples723 suggested doesn't work then try to Odin Eugene's Froyo and see if that will boot up. It can be found in the thread he linked but here it is again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875966.
