I need help. Last night my phone was almost dead and I put it to charge overnight. I woke up checked the phone and strangely enough it was off. I turned it on and it was stuck on the Vibrant logo. I tried going on recovery mode since I'm using CM10.1 and it wouldn't go on it. I decided that I needed to ODIN the phone back to stock. I've done this before and I have the right files for it. Everything went flawlessly. When it was done and started to reboot It was stuck on the Vibrant logo. I need help (again). Is it actually bricked or what? This is my only phone and I've just recently changed it's cracked screen which costed me $100. :crying:
Nope.
Brick = Phone doesn't even turn on.
So basically what your problem is, is the phone just keeps rebooting?
I'm also guessing you can still get into download mode, which you ODIN'd from?
For recovery, try this method:
Hold Volume DOWN + power button, once phone says Vibrant, let go of power and only hold vol. down for ~3 more seconds.
If thats what you've been doing do this:
Hold Volume UP and DOWN + power button, the rest is same as above.
Have you made sure you are flashing the right files from ODIN?
Make sure to re-download all of the files, use a more recent version of ODIN (keep the old one, new ones don't work sometimes)
I'm pretty sure I'm using the right files because I've done this before and it worked. It's like if it doesn't want to work any more. My phone just displays the vibrant logo for about 3 seconds and it just turns off. Download mode does work but recovery mode doesn't work. I've downloaded the files like 3 times and I have ODIN v1.0 and v1.7. Thanks for the help tho...

So the phone stays awake during download mode??
hmm.. I'm gonna do a bit of searching around here to see if I can find any solutions, pretty sure someone else a while ago had this issue.

oh wow.. so I guess that my Internal storage is messed up. I have a sandisk 8gb class 10 though. Thanks for the help mate.
If you're on stock , open Odin and place this overstock tar in PDA with everything else unchecked http://db.tt/ZUcGR23q . Before trying this overstock tar kernel, flash the GB boot loaders first and see if that gets recovery back. Anyway, after odining overstock try to boot and let the voice (Linda)complete the voodoo lagfix and pull the battery and try see if you're recovery is back
so while I put overstock tar I also put the pit file right?

Just PDA no pit. You might have to extract it first before using it. It should just drop in there. No go on BLers?

Don't give up bro, Back in the day, I would spend like 6+ hours fixing my soft and hard bricks... My last advice would be to download the semaphore kernel tar and Odin it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847961 main purpose is to get recovery back.

Just so you know there are plenty of Vibe users that have either fallen victim to the EU bug or other internal sd issues.
We can help. Just be patient and willing. I'll shoot up some links when I get back to my PC that might help.

Indeed, I am one of them. I think I've been EU'd for well over a year now, but it's certainly workable.
You can still enjoy all of newer roms and whatnot, you just have to get the external sd card partitioning straightened out and get used to the vold.fstab swap.

I partitioned my SD card using ROM Manager, turned the phone off and got a black screen with lit keys. So, I read around and was told to use ODIN to reflash the stock TMO build, so I did. Now, Im getting the TMO logo and Galaxy S screen, but I get a black screen still.
I cannot get into download mode. I vol - and power and I get the Vibrant logo, then it goes back off. Even when plugged it, I get the batt charging animation, then back to the Vibrant screen.
I tried to push the update.zip to the SD card through ADB, but I get a permission denied message, meaning the root was killed.
So, is this phone pretty much screwed? I cant think of any other way to get it going outside of moving the update.zip to the sd card by a 3rd party measure i.e card reader/another phone
dude that's not even close to a brick as the phone is still responsive somehow..
do this:
1. pull out battery wait 5-10secs
2. connect USB to computer and phone
3. hold down the vol +/- buttons
4. plug in battery
5. you should be in download mode now
6. do what you gotta do with ODIN
good luck
Dont use that method to get to DL mode . Do it this way . First turn off your phone , then plug the usb cable into your computer ONLY . Next hold both volume buttons and plug the micro usb into your phone . Also use odin v1.3 and flash the rom of your preference .
Edit : xtone beat me to the punch

Yes using ROM Manager to repartition your phone will create the "soft-brick" you are experiencing. But as one person has already noted, this can pretty much be recovered using ODIN.
Definitely follow the advice given in Posts 2 and 3 of this thread to get into Download mode. If you're not getting the desired results using ODIN, what settings are you using? For example, what are the names of the .pit and .tar files you are using? Did you check or leave unchecked the "re-partition" option?
Sorry for the noobery. Im usually good at this.
Well, I was able to get into download mode and get ODIN to run, but im getting a MBD checksum error when I boot into recovery.
And I cannot install CWM through the market because my Application Storage is at 0.00B for some reason.

What ROM did you flash. You might want to perform a factory reset and then flash the stock JFD ROM and see if that fixes your problem.
Good luck.
Oh this is a nightmare.... exactly what happened to me.
I'll be honest, I tried and tried and tried all sorts of stuff and somehow I got it back reading again.
I would ODIN to Eugenes Froyo that doesn't brick and see where that gets you. Thread is in developers section and I am pretty sure that's what got me back working but follow ALL the instructions. With no application room I couldn't push, unistall, install ect...

I had this problem for the last two days, but I found a way to fix it thanks to a user (whom I don't know the name of)
I did this to go back to stock firmware (JFD), make sure you have that downloaded.
Look for Eugene's Galaxy S Froyo PDA, for the i9000, not the Vibrant. Flash it through Odin with the 512 pit file. It's not going to boot up but take you to recovery mode instead, and it's going to remap your Volume buttons, but you can still get into DL mode (up is now down, and vice versa but whatever)
Now Odin back to stock, using the same 512 pit and there you go! Should boot up with no problem. Now you can redo everything, but remember to never partition through ROM Manager ever again!

His exact symptoms happened to me when the noob in me decided to repartition in Rom Manager awhile back. I am just suggesting he uses this tool as an option. It's definitely a good tool to use regardless of how he got where he got.
something like this happened to a buddy of mine, i'm trying to fix it, but the guy was completely stock so it makes no sense... I've tried everything, and i cant seem to find eugenes files...

Well, upon inspection of a the Nero V3 build I had downloaded, there was a ROMManager.apk there. So I pushed it onto my phone, reflashed to CWR (had to do it about 3 times) and reinstalled Nero V3.
After installing the build, I was able to re-enable voodoo and its theres no more MD5 craziness when I access the Recovery

Apparently. Completely forgot I attempted to enable it. I was freaked all the way out trying to repair the damn thing.
My phone was working fine after installing the DOW14 kernel yesterday. This morning it was even working fine. Even my alarm went off this morning on the phone and I set it an hour ahead (for more sleep) and it didn't go off. I looked at my phone and the screen would not come on. The "buttons" at the bottom lit up, but nothing I had to hold the power button down to get it to reboot.
It got past the "Vibrant" text and shows the green robot for TeamWhiskey, but just sits there. Tried taking the battery out and still it will boot to the same place. Can anyone help?
I did not overclock, I never ran SetCPU.
If you can get it to download mode, try flashing another kernel through odin since you cant see anything. Just the kernel not a rom. Supercurio has some voodoo kernels for odin in the dev section. Just look for your base and odin the corresponding kernel. Goes in PDA. Dunno if there are any "stock" odin kernels or not.

not recovery...download mode w/the digging robot on the screen.. I'm not familiar with adb does it adb reboot download or anything of that nature?
Try this, it worked for me. Pop your battery, put it back in, hold vol up down and power. Wait for vibrant to pop up the second time and release. Should put you in recovery. Factory data reset, reflash you rom, wipe dalvik and fix permissions, then reboot. I had the same issue with the Bionix 1.2.1 update and the glasstopia theme w/ dragon 4. They didnt play well together. Hope this helps.
you may want to build a jig or buy one online in the future just in case you cannot get into the download mode.

I agree man.
I've looked at every single thread with this same exact issue.
No avail. The file system, the ones that are reserved and locked for the bootloader and ROM are corrupted, is my guess.
I can load all the roms on there, but something isn't loading correctly, or is beyond corrupted, not allowing me to boot the phone at all.
My phone is toast too.
Damn, im not happy.
Nobody has a fix for this though. Nobody.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your phone. Mine is also bricked completely.
Keep in mind, this is from somebody who has bricked every possible way (apparently not this way), and ODIN at least once a week. I've also used Eugene's i9000 OC kernels, old DOW OC kernels, and TTBAL's OC kernel with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!! 1.4gHz stable.
Now this.

Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
what rom are you running? did you check to see if it was even compatible with the kernel your flashing? I mean.... are you on gingerbread roms or froyo?
Soo....I kinda f*cked up my phone. I had Bi-Winning for a while and got bored of it, so I decided to flash another rom. I had it for about 2 hours and decided, I wanna flash another one! I went back in my history and this is terrible, but I cannot remember for the life of me which rom I used. It was either Simply Honey, Crazy 8, or MIUI. I honestly can't remember. Anyway, after that I used ROM Manager to flash Biffmod from my SD Card and after it did that, it went into a bootloop. So I tried to get back into Download mode, but it just kept going to the Vibrant screen. THEN, I tried to use Odin without being in Download mode and I didn't realize the TAR file wasn't completely downloaded, ran Odin and it made it even worse. Now every time I try to use the various methods of getting into Download mode, I come across the screen in the attached photo. It's a weird version of CWM Recovery, it says. v2.5.1.0 SOK ULFK. I cannot get passed this screen and into Download mode no matter what I do. HELP!
It also can't mount my SD card.

Same thing happened. The battery icon screen flashes and then it goes to this weird CWM. What the eff did I do to my phone?
Why not flash a froyo rom like bionix or project v from the recovery menu.
Another thing - When I try to use CWM to reboot into Download mode, the screen Galaxy S GT I9000 pops up and goes back to CWM. I have the Vibrant, and I'm pretty sure those are two somewhat different phones...Why is mine confused?

Well I assume I'd need to actually have the rom to be able to flash it. And when I try to install zip from SD it's unable to mount the SD card.
Someone please help me, I am getting extremely desperate here.
Generally the Galaxy S GT I9000 screen comes up if you have the Gingerbread bootloader flashed. GB Bootloaders don't use the 3 button combo for Download Mode, all you have to do is press and hold Volume Up + Power.
If that doesn't work try flashing a GB ROM. Sadly there's really no way to tell what file system the phone is using in CMW at least not in the version I have, if you can find out that would help a lot though. Since we don't know what file system it's using I'd recommend using a non-CM7/MIUI rom first. Download one of the non-CM7/MIUI GB roms. Plug the phone into your computer and in CMW go to Mounts and Storage and Mount USB Storage. You should then be able to copy the ROM onto your phone and flash it.
I had problem getting to download mode after flashing ported gt I9000 rom .hold down or up, power and home " button" (one puts in recovery the other in download can't remember which)

Word. Glad I could help. The important thing to remember is the Vibrant is a pretty robust phone. It's damn near impossible to brick it so bad you can't recover, so there's rarely any reason to panic. And hey, now you have a JIG on the way just in case you get into some real trouble down the line.

You seriously deserve some sort of medal. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out.
I recently rooted my phone to the latest Siyah version. I noticed the capacitive buttons not working correctly and then I noticed the version I had was for I900. I went into cwm and installed the correct kernel for my phone but it did not fix the problem. I realized after that I didnt clear the cache. So I went into clockwork recovery and tried to fix that but I hit something to cause my phone to go to a black screen and had litle flashes every once in a while. I took out the battery and the galaxy screen with the triangle pops up but then goes to black. If I hit the power button it will show the battery charging button briefly but then goes away.
After all that. My question is can my phone be saved?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, almost certainly.
First, please confirm the model of your phone. Do you have SGH-I777?
You will need to boot into download mode, and install the stock Gingerbread firmware UCKH7 that the phone originally came with. From that point, you can update or modify the phone as you prefer.
From what you say, it sounds like you need to do a fair amount of reading of the sticky post items such as the faq and guides and elswhere in this forum to get a good foundation of information about the phone and how it works. Understanding makes it much safer to work with your phone.

Been on the downloading screen for 5 minutes or so. Just gonna leave it downloading till it does something or someone tells me something better to do

Once you understand, flash the UCKH7 stock plus root package that is linked in the guide. This is assuming that you want root and to customize your phone.

Yes. I have the I777. When I originally installed the kernel I downloaded it from the I777 section and it was supposed to be a 1 click thing till I realized those little issues of the I900.
I finally got into odin mode and it says its downloading. I can also now see it on my computer. Not sure what its downloading but its better than the black screen i was getting. Been on the downloading screen for 5 minutes or so. Just gonna leave it downloading till it does something or someone tells me something better to do
Thanks for your help!
***Update I downloaded the UCKH7 on to the phone and Odin(on the computer said successful) The phone is still stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target. I didnt have the auto reboot selected on Odin. Should I try diusconnecting the phone and rebooting with the power button or just wait until it does it? been hung on it for 10 minutes even though the computer said it was done.

if u follow the guide then u prolly have a rooted stock(assuming u used the rooted stock package) which Kies is not friendly with maybe due to having a non-stock kernel, also 2.3.4 is GINGERBEAD. Now if u plan to flash ICS ROM's i suggest forget bout Kies & go back to the guide & learn how to flash a kernel w/ CWM.
Ok so this started like a week ago. i was on a 4.2 rom, i ran my phones battery dry, totally dry. Then after charging it for a while I noticed that instead of turning on when charging it would just charge while stuck on a vibrant boot loop. I unplugged and tried turning it on and I was stuck on the boot loop.
I freaked abit so just to be safe i went straight to Odin to try to get back to stock and start over again. But that didnt help much either. After the Odin flash, which i couldve sworn I didnt tick repartition, I ended up in Android recovery with the E cant mount error.
Ive been looking everywhere here on xda and other forums but nothing has worked. Attached is were I ended up at after trying correct my mistake.
Ive tried flashing the stock JFD and 512 files and also Eugenes froyo that just led me to a i9000 bootloop but in Android Recovery 3e (i think) and its just been back and forth between 2e and 3e with anything new I find and try.
The last possible answer I found was here

but at steps
9. Click on the button “Phone” and load the “MODEM_I9000XXJP2.tar” inside of the firmware download’s .rar file.
10. Click on the button “CSC” and load the “GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJP2.tar” inside of the firmware download’s .rar file.

i dont know where to find those files.
I dont know if that the answer im looking for but at this point anything I find seems like it should work.
I mainly use my vibrant as a samsung galaxy player type of thing since ive moved to a different phone so im not rushing to getting it back up to working condition but If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
