Well, first odin "atlas.pit + dl09 or di01" then flash Recovery (preferably 3.x.x.x) > then go into recovery, wipe cache,dalvik,data. Flash CM7. Profit

Follow the same steps you just did with ODIN with the DL09 file and the PIT file, but this time you also need to put a checkmark in the re-partition box under option all the way to the left of the start button. That box needed to be checked in order for the PIT file to fully do what it is supposed to do. Reboot after flashing the DL09 and Atlas 2.2 pit files in order to let the stock DL09 fully load with the repartitioning. Then you can power down phone, pull battery, flash the CWM file in ODIN, pull usb cord, put battery back in, boot directly to CWM by holding volume up, volume down, and power buttons, then wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and flash whatever ROM you wanted to go to, whether that is CM7 or MIUI.

Ok, I've never seen that happen. I've always had to check the re-partition box myself. When you booted to recovery (CWM), what options did you have on the first screen you saw? Did you have an option of "install zip from sd card"?

Try it again, but this time use this file in the PDA section:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/stuff/CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar.md5
Make sure battery is out the whole time
Use USB port in the back of the computer near the motherboard
when it finishes, put battery back in and power phone on.
when i first rooted it though i already had froyo. is that gonna make a difference?

No, this is just to do a deep, clean wipe back to a stock build. Getting back to Froyo from there is a piece of cake
Okay, as the thread title states and as I had searched for a Samsung Vibrant related thread about this issue I haven't found any. My issue as stands is when I try to perform a Factory Data Reset on my Samsung Vibrant t959VUVKD1, 2.2.1 Froyo, it only comes up with this set of words on the recovery screen.
-- Wiping data...

So, as one can see this is evidence of my attempt at rooting and using Clockworkmod Recovery.
What I used was SuperOneClick 2.2 and successfully rooted my phone but then I decided to unroot after finding out ClockworkMod Recovery wasn't able to create a backup on my phone, also, I used a 3e_recovery_installer batch file I found somewhere which managed to unlock my Android system recovery so I could get into Clockworkmod Recovery but ever since I unrooted and uninstalled Clockworkmod Recovery it won't allow me to perform a factory data reset. I was able to do it TWICE after unrooting my phone but now I can't perform the factory data reset and I do not understand why.
Have you tried to odin back to stock or use the toolbox?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Never used Odin or Toolbox before because I've never found a concrete tutorial on how to correctly flash/root my vibrant. I would like to flash but I just don't feel safe about it even though I had downloaded a supposedly stock rom of the UKVD1 rom for Vibrant.

Erm, I used the Toolbox to use "Flash to Stock" and when Odin opened up I selected Pit.pit and it showed a yellow to green color on the first box and my phone turns off then nothing happens. What does this mean?
1. When odin opens select pit
2.click the Pit.pit file after screen change and click open
3.You should be returned to odin main.
4. click pda
5.click pda file and click open.
6.you are returned to main odin.
7.set phone down, click start and do not unplugg
8 let it run till pass, and auto reboot

I did all that just now but now I'm stuck on a looping charging screen or a looping Samsung Vibrant screen. However, this isn't the same as the original T-Mobile screen and even so how do I get past the looping screen?
1. pull the battery
2. insert the battery
3.hold down volumeup/ volumedown buttons
4. insert the usb cable, you should enter download.
5 reset toolbox and select flash to stock, odin should appear,
My experience.
When you are facing boot loop, it's very hard to get in to download mode.
I tried button trick for download mode, but I failed.
So I used adb and tried to reboot into download mode by command.
I repeated it until I could get into the mode.
Anyway, download Toolbox and once u get into the mode,
try to go back to stock. That 'll fix everything.
I also know that the logo changed after I flashed back to stock.
I faced I9000 logo which wasn't before.
FYI: + the version will be eclair, and I couldn't get the official update.
Anyway good luck.

If you never get into download mode.. Try to use JIG.
Another way is to disassembly your phone and do something.
I suggest you buy a JIG.
Problem is, I can easily get into Download mode by:
1. Remove USB Cable
2. Pull battery and re-insert
3. Plug in USB cable
4. Hold Volume - and +
And it's in Download mode
But I want to get the original Smasung Vibrant 2.2.1 UVKD1 Rom back on but it appears the provided files aren't it?
Btw, what is a Pit and and PDA file supposed to be, I'm a complete noob at this point.
The pit and pda files in aio toolbox are the stock rom the vibrant is shipped with, if you want anythig else on it you have to download it and flash it through odin, rom manager, or cwm.

I see. But now when the phone starts up it shows a buncha dots in consecutive order to the Samsung Vibrant screen after I flashed to stock using the pit and pda files and it just loops continuously until I pull the battery. Is there anything that can be done to get past the looping?
Does the pitcure look like a phone....!....computer? If so then you are softbricked and just get back in download mode and re-Odin, but make sure that when you Odin, you DO NOT have the repartition checked. Probably what happened.
If it is not the above, can you get into recovery? Can you now do a factory reset? Wipe cache, dalvik and reset usually clears the bootloop problem.

Unfortunately I can't get into recovery. I also Odin'd with the given Pit.pit and PDA.tar files with Repartition unchecked but that didn't change anything.
I cant figure how you could be in a bootloop coming out of odin. Is the AIO you downloaded for vibrant. I think theres one for fascinate and captivate.

I used the AIO Toolbar for Vibrant as provided by the link by the person earlier. The loop just continues forever and ever until I remove the battery.
The three button method of entering recovery hasnt worked?
You mean hold Power and Vol + and -?
No, it doesn't work.
i am hesitant to advise anything, the fact that factory reset didnt work, and recovery has been removed is troubling. when i get a fail message when flashing to stock ive used eugenes froyo that does not brick. If all else fails you might google it and read the op. Its a pda file used by odin.
What I find strange is that download mode works perfectly fine but nothing else.
what I find strange is coming out of odin and looping, you should come out in recovery with an error message. a cannot mount data or bdata. storage not ready. Removing recovery may have removed more than was expected. check the op on eugenes froyo you have to get back to stock.
Hey. i have looked in similar threads and i still cant find out how to fix it.

Out of the many "stuck on samsung screen", Bakon420's post is mostly resembled of my problem. My Note is stuck at the "Samsung" screen. My hope is that someone can help me find the right thread and right way to fix it. I have read and continue reading. But the fear of keep bricking my Note to point of no return has prompted me to plead for help.
I have a Telus Galaxy Note SGH-i717, out of the box it came with Android 2.3.6. I updated it to Android 4.0.4 using the "update" feature in the "settings" of the phone.
I began rooting it using this method: http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/. After the method, I verifed that I had "superuser" app. When I used "root checker" app, it declared my Note was not rooted.
So again, I rooted it using another method at http://androidcritics.com/how-to-ro...7-on-android-2-3-6-gingerbread-and-4-0-4-ics/ . This method gave me the "stuck at "Samsung" screen.
On to xda-developers forum, I followed the threads and tried doing this: [STOCK ODIN] [AT&T, TELUS, Bell, Rogers] In case of brick...(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330). After using odin and Telus stock, Note was stuck at the "Telus" screen.
So I went on to this thread:
[ROOT] [AT&T, TELUS, Bell, Rogers] Pre-Rooted Kernel (flash via Odin) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218 and tried odin with the provided "pda.tar". Now it's back to "samsung" screen.
I have also tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28725010&postcount=10. Kies won't recognize it and won't do Tools>firmware upgrade and initialize.
All that happened within the 5 hours time frame last night. I feel exhausted. If you have the same problem and have resolved it, please point me a way. Thank you.
My Gosh man !!
Train wreck !!!
Sorry, I am willing to help you...as are the rest of the note family here...but you need to stop blindly flashing to the device...
It's so junked up with binary code, that it can't even crap...(rant off)
Okay Brother....
Do you have a recovery ??? As in CWM ??
If so...boot to the recovery, and wipe data, dalvik,....hell, basically everything 3 times.....(If not...then Odin push the recovery image to the device, so we can clean the garbage out of the system partition, and the boot partition)
You need a recovery to clean this phone up, then wipe all caches, data, battery stats...
Then, pull the battery....do not attempt to reboot, or you'll be stuck again...
Put the battery back in, then boot to download mode, and push the Odin .tar back to the device (the rom from the brick thread)
then reboot...
It may still give force closes etc.....thats because it still has junk in the system partition. but now we can boot into recovery and wipe again..
then on the second boot, you should be pretty clean..
those are the steps I'd use my friend...and no, i'm not pissed at you...it's just been a long azz day, and i know how you feel...g

Okay. I will do it as I type this. First, boot in to recovery as in pressing vol. up and down and power, then let go power when it vibrates, but keep on pressing vol. up/down. It shows a 4g/lte Telus screen for about 2 secs. Now on to Android system recovery <3e>.
Now, using volume up/down to move highlight. Options are: reboot system now, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and lastly apply update from cache. I don't see "dalvik" as an option. So, I'll do wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition in that order 3 times. Okay, 3 times wipes. Now pull the battery...
Battery back in, boot to download mode. Screen says "ODIN MODE". product name SGH-i717D, custom binary download: YES (6 counts). Current binary: custom. Now load odin3 v1.85 on my computer, load up the "TELUS stock kernel-only odin pda tar" from the brick thread. Now plug in my usb cable to the phone and the computer. Only check boxes are "auto reboot", and "PDA". ID:COM box shows "0:COM6" in yellow color. Now , click start. ODIN Message:

Now the phone is rebooting and stuck at the "samsung" screen. The computer says "found new hardware Samsung Mobile MTP Device". Kies is loading automatically but not recognize any thing connected. Now booting to recovery to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache again.
Now pull the battery out... back to recovery mode and reboot system now. It's still stuck in the samsung screen. !!! I feel like an idiot and maybe I am one and I don't know what else to do!
There is every indication that the kernel image you are using is not correct somehow...
And after reviewing the thread link you posted ....the affected user was able to repair the device by loading a rooted stock ICS build from flappjaxxx.
And since his roms contain the kernel image ....you can eliminate the need for a kernel by simply flashing his ICS rom.
But in order to do this ...you need the CLOCKWORKMOD recovery pushed to your device ....
And you currently have the stock 3e recovery. (Will not work)
So you need to push the CWM recovery to your device ....then flash the ICS build using your new recovery ....not Odin.
The only need for Odin at this point is to push the new recovery ...
Lets get that far ....and worry about the modem later...
Note : your device may contain a recovery script that forces the device to revert from a custom recovery, back to the 3e recovery.
Not all devices do.....
But if you do ....it's fixable ....and the fix can be found by a general search....but lets try the recovery push, and rom flash first using these steps ...
On PC .....
Download the Odin CWM recovery from the super thread......the .tar image for Odin
Then download the ICS rooted rom from Flappjaxxx ....the .zip file
Then move the downloaded rom to the download folder of your phones SD card.
Next :
Push the CWM recovery to your device using Odin.
If the device hangs at the samsung screen (it will ) don't pull battery...simply hold volume up and down, then power..
The device will start to vibrate every 2-4 seconds.....and after 3 vibration cycles ..release the power button but continue to hold the volume buttons.
The device will boot your new CWM recovery...
Then navigate to the "wipe data,factory reset " option and wipe the data.....then do the same for the cache and dalvik cache.
Then choose "install zip from SD card "...and flash the rom you placed to the device from the PC ..
Once the flash completely finishes .....reboot
If all went well ....you'll have ICS running ....
Let me know ..g

It took a few minutes and displayed "Flashing UCLE2 modem", then "Reboot Now", and lastly "Install from sdcard complete.", then return to the "Apply update from .zip file on SD card" screen of the CWM Recovery. Now reboot. There is no selection to reboot from this screen, so I just remove the battery, put it back in and restart the phone using the power button the normal way. The phone restarted with a screen "Samsung Galaxy Note, SGH-i717D", then onto the infamous white-on-blue "SAMSUNG" on the black background screen and stayed there.
Look like there is another problem somewhere else, caused by my second root attempt. For now, I will just sit tight to prevent further damage to the phone. Any thoughts that may explain and/or fix the problem is much appreciated.

Hey good day I am currently having the same problem as you. I used odim and the pda file provided by link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218 however when phone restarts the screen is stuck on samsung. I would love to know what you did to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance
Take a look at the last post in that thread. That is a gingerbread kernel. I'm going to assume you're on ics. You'll have to install an ics kernel in recovery. Just make sure it's the correct kernel for your device and build. Just search and read. Also make sure to check the date on the thread. This thread was from August and the kernel thread you are referring to is from over a year ago. Good luck

Bootloop - First, try booting into recovery (switch phone off - hold home/volume up & then press power while still holding the other two buttons). If you can get into recovery, try to do a wipe/factory reset.
Second - Boot into download mode (switch phone off - hold home/volume down & then press power while holding the other two buttons), get a stock rom for your country/carrier from Samfirmware & flash it in Odin (How ? Search. This has been covered many thousands of times here over the past two yrs). This will give you a 'clean slate' & you can then re-root your phone & try unlocking it again if you want.

hi thankyou so much for your reply..phone is showing recovery screen and i selected factory reset option, but then i switch it back on again ,its stuck with the same triangle screen.should i take the recovery mode failed then and go for 2nd option..if so please could u point me to a step by step method of doin it.
Hi i also made wipe data from a rom which caused me a bootloop.
So then i wiped:
Cache
Dalvik Cache
then set permissions and rebooted.
I don't know which of these fixed the problem, but i sure didn't have a bootloop anymore :victory:
Single file from Samfirmware - Throw away the .dll file if there's one in the package you download, extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip (do not extract it again tho, the file you flash must be .tar.md5 or it won't work).
Open up Odin, select the .tar.md5 file in the PDA section, the only boxes under 'Option' you should have ticked are Auto Reboot & F.reset Time (take extra care you don't have re-partition ticked). Hit start & Odin will flash the file & reboot your phone when it's done.
If it flashes successfully & you still have bootloop, try rebooting into recovery again & do a factory reset. If the flash fails or it's successful but you still have bootloop/no recovery, do an advanced XDA search for Hopper8's threads - find his 'Odin won't flash' thread, there's a bunch of things in that thread you'll be able to try but hopefully you wont need it.

Can't Thank you enough MistahBungle..it worked and my phone has switched on.
But it seems like iv gotta older version or something, no features like what i had before..Is this correctable ??
Also i did not do this
"If it flashes successfully & you still have bootloop, try rebooting into recovery again & do a factory reset"
as it automatically switched on after flashing the firmware..Do i still need to go in recovery mode and do a factory reset ??

If it still bootloops, yes, by all means.

Sorry to sound so stupid but what does bootloops mean ??
My phone is turning on and all the functions are accessible at the moment, but still remains unlocked. is it advisable to try unlocking it again by the same method or pay up orange £20 for a unlock code ??

Bootloop is when your phone displays the Samsung logo while turning on, but either restarts again, or gets stuck. It means your phone cannot boot.

Up to you whether you want to try unlocking it yourself again or pay Orange the twenty quid.
However, I strongly recommend you do a lot of research (basic stuff; how to flash roms, how to root a phone, what to do if you get stuck) before you decide to have another go at it yourself. The guides/tutorials stickied near the top of the General section are a good start & should give you a decent grounding.

i have managed to root the phone again successfully got superuser icon,etc.As of to unlocking iv tried 3 different apps suggested on different website ,including chainfire and galaxysimunlock,etc via google play stores..no luck.
please can any1 suggest anything else .
You need the app 'galaxsim unlock'. Search for the xda thread, it's by spocky12. If that one doesn't work, I'd suggest paying the 20 to do it.

Hi, i was just trying to use 'galaxsim unlock' and halfway through its asking for £3 payment..is that the only of doing it then..i was just thinking what if it doesn't work after payment.Anyway of getting around this ??
Please help XDA devolopes..I feel like iv gone through so much hassle trying to root the phone, and it would be a shame if i couldn' t unlock !
I know why it happened, it was caused by me as I wiped the factory reset without cleaning the cache. As every rom, kernel and Android version change configuration is unique.
Unfortunately, usually I'd boot into recovery and re-flash it there. But when I do, the CWM/recovery logo appears for a second and then continues to boot forever. Not in a boot loop, just stuck at boot. I've tried installing a different recovery, no change. It may be skipping that as it's stuck in first boot after a flash.
Odin3 will find my phone, but it doesn't seem to support zip files like CWM does.
Is there any way I can flash a rom, clean cache or anything, without the recovery?
Sorry for bolding my text, I know how tiresome some people find reading.
Odin recognizes. tar files not the zip files... Just download . tar file for your recovery and then flash it via Odin.. read a guide for that before doing that...

Download this: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26624 . Put the phone in Download mode, connect it via USB, add the firmware in the PDA section and hit start

Unfortunately recovery doesn't always seem to work these days, I suspect it ignores recovery on first boot.

Sweet as, it's unbricked now.
I had similar experience
Was on devil kernel, reformatted to f2fs all workng.
Tried dual boot, was in 2nd rom
The internal storage was showing no free space, checked and I was only using 3G of the 12
System was not happy
Dropped into recovery and formatted /intsd
Recovery rebooted automatically and would not do anything,
Reboot, entered recovery, rebooted, etc,etc
Dropped into download, Odin flashed cwm recovery,
Formatted partitions back to ext4, restored nandroid.
All back to normal....
Leaving f2fs alone for now
