I tried to recover a rom today using nandroid and I got some error after the md5 check saying something like error unable to load recovery. (I am currently in recovery console). I then proceded to reboot the phone and now it just shows the Vibrant logo and doesn't do anything I can not reboot into recovery or anything. Is my phone bricked? If not how do I fix this?

Tell me how that goes for yah.
Thanks that seem to work, now all I have to do is reload a different rom and I should be good to go correct? Or do I have to reflash clockwork recovery or anything else?
Thanks

ODIN will not remove the update.zip so you can add a ROM and then go into clockwork then flash and your good to go. Try out Toxic or the new D9, there awesome.

Yes, you will have to re-flash recovery. If you have the update.zip on your SD card already (like ransz28 mentioned above) then just boot into stock recovery and (using the volumes to navigate and the power button to select) click on 'Reinstall Packages'. It will cycle a bit and you will see that yellow text again then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again. You are now in CWR. Now you can flash your new ROM
If you get lost, don't have an update.zip, or want a step by step guide on flashing a new rom there's a guide for that to... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 Just start at "GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?"
OK, so I successfully S-Off'd this phone using DirtyRacun. I backed up the stock functioning ROM, then went to flash Viperlte 2.2.0. Went through all the Aroma installer options, then went to flash. It breezed through the install process, leaving the phone without any operating system on it (Recovery didn't actually flash anything). Tried both CWM and TWRP, and same results each time.
So, I decided to simply try flashing the boot.img in the downloads for Viperlte 2.2.0 via fastboot, and after doing that, the phone still won't boot, and now whenenver I try to reboot into recovery, recovery flashes for a second, and then screen goes blank and boot loops.
Tried reflashing the stock boot.img and reflashed recoveries, same results each time. I'm at a loss. I don't understand what got messed up by fastboot flashing the boot img.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

how did you install recovery, the first time you must use adb and flash the recovery.img.
command is: fastboot flash recovery(what ever here).img example: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.9-fireball.img
Ok, have the phone booting again (flashed ruu, then reflashed the dirtyracun hboot). Question still remains, why did I start bootlooping recovery after flashing the boot.img? And why wouldn't the Rom actually flash in recovery?
Again, any insight is appreciated.

Yeah, did that. I was in recovery (TWRP) when I tried flashing Viperlte, but it never flashed the Rom after selecting all the options in Aroma. It stated that it did, but there's no way it did. It took less than a second to go from "installing" to "complete".
So, something is funky there.

what version of twrp are you using
---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------
for what it's worth some of the guys had problems, and went back to 2.3.3 and solved the problem, I've never had a problem and i'm running 2.4.4
also you must wipe cache,dalvic, data/factory reset,system

I was on the latest release of TWRP (2.4.4.0). I have a recovery log from when it wouldn't flash the ROM. I'll spare the unnecessary strings, and just post the error itself:
error: file_write: write: I/O error
Installer Error (Status 1)
Edit: Just to add, I just successfully flashed SuperSU on the stock ROM using the same TWRP version (2.4.4.0).

I appreciate the suggestions. I'll give a few things a try.
Looks like it was the recovery, afterall. Flashed 2.3.3.0, and the ROM is currently flashing as we speak.
Thanks again!

Hmmm, what's going on here? Aldo101t, do aroma installers work for you on 2.4.4.0? I wonder if its a simple reboot after flashing recovery problem. I need a way to reproduce this.

well, i'm not sure. when i tried to flash viper 2.2 i had a problem, but i can't remember what i did now. i used the same recovery, got it installed, i think i restored a stock rom then reflashed viper and it worked, but i'm not sure.
it's been awhile since i've tried to flasn with aroma, so
i just tried flashing viper 2.2, DID NOT WORK, so i miss spoke.sorry
I have also had problems with aroma on several builds of twrp and several builds of cwm. I'm currently on cwm touch and if it fails to install (goes from 7% to done in a few seconds) just try it again till it flashes. Also seems to help me if zips are on the ext SD card. Not sure what's up with this but that's how I got it to work. Seems to be an aroma thing. Regular zips have no problems flashing.

Your phone is not bricked, it is save-able just revert to stock rom if possible, reflash original recovery, OR install the right rom for your phone you may have installed an incorrect rom or kernel

Ok i am factory reset with some essence of AOKP on the device... but no gapps, lets see if that flash works even though it failed last time
I installed this now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187854
And still, boot loops.
How the hell do i find a rom to use?!?!
Now when i reboot into some sort of factory reset... it still has the custom boot load screen and such... and i put a new file on the SD card i cannot flash it.
This has all been one nice ****ing nightmare.
Can someone please link me to a zip that i can flash from recovery that will freaking work?!
How are you flashing? Did you make a backup first? More importantly did you do a factory reset in cwm before flashing? That link you showed for mean beans works in this phone so it's something on your end

Sorry for all the confusion, i have the phone at least working now so I am calmed down.
After doing the root method, i installed clockwork and clockwork premium. I then downloaded that first ROM which should be for my phone. I selected install rom from SD and also checked backup current rom/wipe cache. When clockwork went to reboot, it booted up in a different recovery manager like TWMN or something? and it said the backup failed. Now the only way to get my phone out of boot loop is to select factory reset. However, when it is reset.... it really is not... i did factory reset and i have all of the options available to me from the ROM, the boot logo, the settings like CPU changing.
I downloaded several ROMs and all of them boot loop. the latest was the Liquid one i found on this forum, it bootlooped after flashing through CWM so I selected factory reset and now the phone is working best i can tell.
The only problem is i cannot get Netflix to work.... or Songza. Both apps fail. Netflix lets me log in and see all my stuff but just says "loading" when i try to watch a show, even after deleting the cache and a full re install.
I have rooted before and have never had issues like this with the boot loop. Something had to have gone wrong.
I tried updating Cyanogenmod but needed the new gapps, but unfortunately I installed the wrong one. Now I have no way to access my phone as I can only see "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". On top of that, whenever I try to boot into recovery to install the correct gapps, I am greeted by a blank screen. I have tried reinstalling the recovery with Odin and I am getting the same thing. Any help?

anyway, if you are able access the fastboot, then you got only one way out of this..
just boot into fastboot and flash twrp,
then rebbot recovery and restore again..(make sure the recovery option is selected while restoring menu appears)
and you can boot to emui..
