After installing a ROM and rebooting the phone everything seemed to work fine. The only problem is that it I can not install any programs because it thinks that I have no space available.
Now I did not backup my system... I do have an older backup on my laptop... but I can not install clockwork because there is no space.
please help!
Thanks in Advance!
it might be a problem with the ROM.
ODIN back to stock, then flash that same rom again, if its still there, contact the DEV and tell him, because its their fault.
If it gets fixed with re-flash something went wrong while flashing and that happened.
What ROM did you install? Was it ODEX or DEODEX?
I agree with the above post, if an ODIN doesn't solve the problem, it sounds like a problem with the rom, but a little more info on your situation wouldn't hurt.
Thanks for the input... I hope to resolve this before tomorrow! The ROM was Bionix Fusion
I am new to this and probably should have researched a little more. lol
Ok I have downloaded the ODIN3 v1.00
How do I ODIN back to stock?
I have the Samsung Vibrant,
Having the same issue when running Odin with Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo ...I ran Odin to fix a brick and didn't know the history of the phone. This is the only tar that will boot the phone all the way up, but I get the 0.00 available space error too. I tried stock and almost get a full boot up, but then goes black before going to main screen... I've tried many different combos including T959UVJFD.tar + s1_odin_20100512 pit , 512 pit + T959UVJI6, T959JL5, etc...
suggestions?
The ROM itself seems nice... I like the changes I've seen. For some reason it does not recognize the space that is available on the SD card as space for Applications. I've read a post somewhere about repartitioning the SD card in ODIN. ROM manager is s pretty much useless without clockwork recovery installed.... can not install it without space available. I tried repartitioning in ODIN but would not do it... is this something that could work? Maybe I am doing something else wrong,... or any other suggestions?
At this point I will be happy to go back to factory settings then start over...

I agree... This thread would probably get more attention in the development section, but I may be wrong. I will keep trying things and let you know if I come up with something...
Actually now I am having the same problem... Went back to the original using ODIN now when the phone boots up it goes to a blank screen and will not go any further!

Okay... YAY!!! I got it working! Here's how!
I want to note that every time I would Flash the phone with ODIN when the phone would reboot it would fail to wipe the data! This was not a fix that I found on purpose but it did work for me:
I flashed the file EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA
Now that file is for the Vibrant i9000. Not mine
So after that I re-tried the original one that I stated above,.... then it worked! I did notice that it did NOT fail to wipe the data!
So relieved!

Thanks for posting your resolution in the event this happens to someone else down the line. Glad you got it up and running.
Yup that is the true stock firmware... try this, it might help and it might not? when you boot your phone and it loads up, format your internal and external sdcard. (back up first) then reboot.... see if that helps. if not, odin the stock rom again. right now i'm shooting at flies with a BB gun so it is worth a try anyway...... and i'll try and research it for ya......
oops i didnt know you found a way....my bad. glad you got it working!!!!
So is that the way to fix it then? I just want to know if anyone else has tried it with no problem before i do it. Also, will you be able to flash back to stock?
I flashed the files that were included with the ODIN package and i now don't have any memory for applications also is the only way to fix this issue by using ODIN again or has someone found another method?
Did you use OCLF at any time previously?

I tried voodoo for the first time and couldn't get past the vibrant screen i then used the odin package the tmobile default files and got to the tmobil boot screen but the screen goes black and nothing happens my hard ware keys were on but that's it so then i used eugenes package based off the tmobile leak and that's where i'm at now it works but no application memory available.
so i want to see if i can just use ODIN with the file that is up a couple of posts to get my app memory back
How much available app space are we suppose to have?
So I know the phone has 2GB of app space, but when I totally wipe everything and go back to stock, it says only about 1.7GB.
go to settings, then sd card and phone storage
scroll all the way down to application storage
how much available space is it suppose to have under stock conditions?

Can you post the EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA file? I flashed Eugene_2E_JK2 Froyo, and then tried flashing the original JFD Stock Rom, but it gave me a black screen after the Galaxy S screen. Also, it didn't wipe the data for me.
has anyone fixed this? i have the same problem im stuck
Hello,
I consider myself a fairly technical person, and I recently had my phone lock up while running Nero V3 for my Samsung Vibrant. When I tried to reboot (battery pull) my internal SD was corrupted, so i decided to return to stock. I was not running any lag fixes at this time. Upon flashing to stock with Odin, I was greeted with a black screen and 4 lights. I've been trying everything to fix this. I saw that many people with the same issue have had luck flashing Eugene's Froyo that Doesn't Brick, and then flashing the JFD stock rom. I tried this as well, and have had no luck.
I am stuck. I don't know what to do. I have managed to load CWM recovery, and i can adb into the device, but when I try to push an update.zip, I get an I/O error.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just not suer where to go from here. I really believe if I could just format and re-partition the internal SD, I would be able to get it all back...
Thanks.
When you say you flashed "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick", how did it not work? Were you able to get into download mode and odin the proper files? Did it error out?

If you are able to boot into clockwork recovery you can format your internal sdcard there. That should fix your corruption issue. After that I would boot into download mode and Odin stock JFD with re-partition clicked. Hopefully that gets you up and running. Then if you actually NEED any files from you internal sdcard (like pictures) there are programs out there that let you recover items off erased harddrives. Just be sure to do that before filling up your sdcard with new stuff. Hope this helps and good luck.
Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick gave me an error, and I read that it was supposed to. So from there, I got into download mode and used Odin to install the JFD Stock Rom. Odin was always successful when it came to installing and rebooting my device.
Recovery "says" that it sucessfully formats my sd card, but the files remain, and I still cannot boot. When I use Odin to flash any other ROM, I get the same result. I either get a black screen with 4 lights, or it gets hung up on the Samsung Vibrant screen.
Also, I'm not concerned with any files on the internal SD.
If you can get into cwm recovery and download mode, you should be able to get out of this. Try to format sd from cwm as whitehawk suggested. Did jfd odin error out as well? Can you restore from cwm?

Didyou repartition in odin when you flashed back to stock or on eugene's froyo that doesnt brick?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, I re-partitioned in Odin. I've tried several times, and the last time, I repartitioned on the stock ROM.
Thanks, NightHawkx! I am giving that a try now. crossing fingers...
ODIN says:
"<ID:0/010> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)"
Phone reboots, blank screen. All 4 buttons lit up when I tapped home. Nothing more.
I wonder if it's something wrong with my device. It seems like it should be reparable. I would rather not take it to T-mobile. I don't know what they'd so since it's been rooted and had custom roms.

You need to delete the jfd file and the 512 pit file from your computer and redownload them
I would be happy to try. Where should I get them from?
Also, is there a way to delete my Internal SD from my pc or adb?
Downloading now from Vibrant Bible Sticky post link.
Same result.
Try this fix and you should also take out your sim card and your external sd card
Same result.
I wonder if, since Nero is stuck on my phone, and the file system is unreachable, is there a way to load Nero on my phone? I can't from CMRecovery, I tried. Can I Odin a copy of that rom on there? Just long enough to remove the files and reflash?

I believe the key is you need to find a voodoo kernel you can push via odin. I searched a little and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877800 If you scroll down in the OP you will find a section called "Downloads" the bold text in gold will link you to a voodoo .tar kernel.
Hope this helps
Hmm...maybe a dumb question...but did you wipe data in recovery before rebooting?

If the phone cannot get past the black screen, just delete the CWM zip and tell t-Mobile it just stopped working, they wont be able to get further than you and will give you a new phone.
I have tried v1.0 and v1.85 of Odin to fix my boot loop. Both said they were successful but in fact it just changed the boot loop's process. Now all that loops is black screen then the Vibrant screen (which I had never seen before). I also tried one click un-brick but the program will not stay open.
I can not enter recovery mode but can still enter DL mode.
This is all a result of trying to install the cyanogenmod using their wiki site (can't post links yet). I had completed installing Clockworkmod recovery as directed by the wiki site. It started when rebooting after installing Cmenard's Overstock Kernel.
Anyone who experienced this and was successful in fixing please do help.
Which file did you used when you used odin?
I used 2. The T959UVJFD.TAR and the 512.rar. I used winzip to extract them for Odin.
I did pretty much exactly what the link says. I tried checking repartition on the 4th try or so as well, sorry I can't post links yet....
http ://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/ how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Ummm usually reverting back to stock jfd through odin always works..
Many of us have been in bootloops before this one is different simply because CM7 is typically an easy flash. You may want to get different files they may not have downloaded to your computer correctly and then try to flash them using Odin. That's the only thing I can assume is the issue at this point.

yup, try a different file. You might want to try odin 1.3 too. Never failed for me.

Not really sure what other files to use. Every search I do for restoring to factory settings finds the ones I used. I will try them with odin 1.3 until I find new files.
Wondering if my samsung driver isn't installed properly. Will Odin even read it if it's not?
OK so, I screwed up. I have a sgs4g, DOH. Gona make a thread in the sgs4g section but help is still appreciated if anyone has some.
Exact same issue.
I had the same issue. Actually got it to boot and everything but everything past the Modem step was scrubbed everytime in Odin because the wrong partition was applied. You get this issue if you use the PIT from a Galaxy Vibrant on a Galaxy S 4G.
I was under the impression that the phone I was modding was a Vibrant. Took me a few hours but I eventually got to the bottom of it after reading every Vibrant thread from beginning to end. Here is a link to the post that saved my night.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12806682&postcount=15
The proper PIT file for the Galaxy S 4G. So everyone with this issue just continue as normal and install a current ROM with this PIT.
On a side note.... all these damn Galaxy phones are confusing. No wonder I never wanted one. I am just fine with Motorola devices... The Optimus series is at least a bit better with the letter branding for each carrier. Galaxy series are all just galaxy...
I'm not noob to flashing or soft brick recovering but this has me confused...
I was running unNamed lastest for a lil while now. Everything was working fine until here recently, while stopped at a rest area checking a webpage my phone cut of and got stuck on a boot loop, only showing the kernal splash screen. Was like wtf? Tried pulling battery ,wiping cache and dalvik. No help. Was like that's fine, have a cwm back up from week ago. Nope didnt work. Was like ok let me try flashing something on my phone that's saved on sd. Flashed Miui, didn't work. Finally got back and tried using this Odin One click "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" by entropy from the flashing without triggering flash counter guide. Still boot loops only showing the black Samsung Galaxy S II screen. This is after 3 what the odin says as 3 successful flash attempts.
I'm at my wits end, of all the soft bricking i've recovered from, where I assumed as long as a bad bootloader flash didn't happen and i could still get to download mode I'm fine, it could be fixed. But this has me stumped.
*After going into 3e recovery and trying to wipe data, it won't even now go back into 3e recovery. Attempts to but says something like deleting cryption meta data or something of that nature.

The one-click downloader is NOT from me, it's a repack of my tar file - and it's starting to sound like the one-click is doing something weird and not flashing the kernel properly.
Use regular old Odin (or Heimdall) to flash the raw tar package.
I'll try it. Though I don't understand how I am in the position I am in from browsing the web on my phone to directly going into a hootloop that neither that odin one click will fix, or any cwm roms won't fix.

I won't have access to computer till later today but I'm trying to figure out what could be wrong. I was thinking that maybe my partitions were bad, but doesn't that odin used, repartition, using a pit file (think that is what pit is for)? Although, this was not from a flash, but rebooted from a couple weeks old successful flash of unNamed while browsing the web so I don't see how that can be the problem. However, even if the partitions were bad, wouldn't odin fail a flash because it has no where to send the firmware files? Also if it was a type of hardware failure, such as processor, wouldn't it not even show the kernel Galaxy S II splash screen? Or is this something that only the gpu handles? It was able to get into cwm before I used the odin though so I can't believe it's cpu because I'm sure that recovery should use it. Just can't figure it out, never had a problem with a boot loop a flash couldn't fix.
If I can't get it to work, will flashing a stock kernel with cwm increment the flash counter? If not I guess I could access my internal sd, try and pull my pictures and the roms off there and then send it to warranty. However I really don't want to. Thanks to anyone in advance.

Ok so after flashing the odin file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 it is still bootlooping at splash screen.
I'm not sure what my options are right now. I'm pretty sure bootloaders can't be the problem. I can't re-partition from odin because it says it can't open the specified file "(Line: 1828)". Is this because it doesn't have pit file? I don't understand how this problem manifested.
If I need to pull contents from sd card from cwm, will flashing a cwm kernal increment flash counter?
Don't repartition using a PIT, it's a great way to screw up your phone. (Hopefully you haven't flashed a PIT at all yet... If you have, I don't quite know what's going on.)

Hello there from colombia, i have the same thing over here, i`m stuck with a SGS SGH I777 the flash counter says 7 and either flashing CWM 5 or re-uploading stock room wont work, i have no way to buy a jig and it is pretty odd that im in a different country and i can`t send my phone for warranty repair, i`ve read all over and seems like there is no answer for this. Can anyone get rid of the Deleting Crytion Meta data?? this is all i get. ( and eternal boot loop ).

Will try to help, but will need more specific information.
The OP of this thread started bootlooping while checking a web page in his browser. So, how did it happen for you? Please give as much exact information as possible. Was it after a flash? Or did it start while you were using the phone? Or how?
Mine was connected to an aftermarket car charger while it happened. I read a post somewhere and a couple ppl it happened to believed the same thing, since it was in my 30 day trail period I sent it back to Sams club and got my replacement today. Since I didn't have a jig at the time, I didn't want to flash a cwm kernel and increase my flash counter so I lost some pics of my kids.
Not sure if it was charger related but I couldn't find a fix and wouldn't really call myself a noob at flashing. Might have some things to learn nut far from a noob.

I have tried to read as many posts on this topic as possible, and I haven't found a proper solution. I've found a few threads where the issue was apparently fixed but they never bothered posting how they did it. If there is a thread that addresses and fixes this issue, my apologies and please redirect me.
First off, I've had my phone rooted since February and it has been working fine. I forget exactly what I rooted with but I have the super user app icon. Last week my Fascinate crashed and re-booted into startup wizard, and all my apps were erased, and I kept getting the force close error boxes. I dont know exactly what caused this but think I might have erased super user when I was going through and deleting apps to free up space. When I reboot everything erases and I go into the start up wizard. My internal memory is 0 and I cannot download any apps. I tried to do factory reset but the data could not be wiped. I tried flashing with odin all the possible .tar packages out there and they all get stuck on the movinand.bin file and fails. I've tried flashing in heimdall but couldnt get it to reboot at all. I've booted into cwm, and every time I try to factory reset/wipe data i get the "error mounting data!" message. I know there's definitely a memory problem and a data problem that has been consistent, and everything I've tried can't get around it.
My current temporary fix has been installing the cyanogen mod, which allows me to use the basic phone functions without the force close boxes. I still have the memory issue and cannot receive text messages, and my network settings are deleted when I reboot. Again, I've read quite a bit of threads on this topic and there seems to be a consensus that I might need the original.mbr and stock.zip files, which I tried downloading from that link everyone posts and they dont work. CWM says the .zip file is bad. Also, the link is like 2 years old as well as most of the threads on this topic, and I havent found anything recent. I've also read about using adb shell to address the issue in the HOW TO guide, and it seems i really need those files. Sorry this was long, I just want to make sure I'm not repeating something that has already been addressed and fixed. Please help. Thanks.

Also, are you absolutely sure I'll be able to flash the eh03 in Odin without it getting stuck on "movinand.bin" ? Every .tar file I've tried so far has had that happen.

when using Odin, try different USB port, different USB cable, be sure battery is out..
Also, are you using Odin to flash a stock tar? you should be, and if so are you using the v2.2 pit with the repartition box checked?

I've used all my USB ports and 2 different cables, including the one that came with my phone
Here are all the files I've tried:
CI500_VZW_ED05_FROYO_REL.tar
CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar
eh03_full_odin.tar
DI01package3.tar
stock_kernel.tar
I'm also using atlas_v2.2.pit
All of the .tar files get stuck at movinand.bin for about half an hour then it fails. I've tried checking and unchecking the re-partition box with the same result.
Pixelation also recommended the droidstyle guide, I was just afraid of running into the same issue with the movinand.bin file. I've found numerous other threads about people having this same problem and never found a clear solution. I think one person was able to get it fixed with help from adrynalyne, but it was through IRC, so it was never posted in the thread. Any other ideas on what I should try?

Update: Trying Section 2 of droidstyle's guide. Currently stuck at 99% on movinand.bin, trying to flash the PowerWashed 2.3.4 eh09 rom
ahhhhh!!!! Why, God?
I really don't know. Besides glitched usb drivers on the computer.. Did you try setting up drivers for the fascinate on another pc yet? There is always unbrickable mod if no other fix works

I've tried it on another computer and it still hangs on movinand.bin. It's definitely not a computer issue, since I rooted the phone in February just fine. I think something must have happened when I accidentally deleted the superuser app last week. The only files that I've been able to flash successfully are atlas_v2.2, cwm4-bml-i500, and cwm3_voodoo.tar. Then from clockwork I can install cyanogen from the sd card so I sort of have a working phone. What's the unbrickable mod?

Well, first you don't flash the atlasv2.2pit. that file is a partition map. It repartitions the phone when combined with a factory image. when doing so you need to have the repartition box checked.
The unbrickable mod by adam outler is a hardware mod that allows you to recover from a brick. Google it.

As some possible help, Have you tried sixstringsg one click. Not sure if it re-partitions but here's the link! EH03 Heimdall One-Click
Also you say the tar's are failing at 99%, have you tried flashing them individually? IE: extract the tar and use the following!
Code:
heimdall flash --repartition --pit atlas_v2.2.2.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin --recovery recovery.bin

Oops sorry, I didnt actually flash the atlas.pit file. I meant the only files I got to PASS in Odin were the ones mentioned. The unbrickable mod looks way to complicated, and I dont feel comfortable taking apart my phone and soldering it.
What do you know about unbricking via adb? I just installed it yesterday so I dont know all the shell commands. If my phone can't wipe or mount data, i cant get past this damn movinand.bin in odin, and my internal memory is zero - is there a folder i need to go in and delete in adb that is preventing me from flashing in odin? Can't I just delete all data so I'm free to flash anything? It seems like something is still present in my phone to be showing 0 internal memory and not letting me wipe data that needs to be removed.

Oops, sorry man , I didnt actually flash the atlas.pit file. I meant the only files I got to PASS in Odin were the ones mentioned. The unbrickable mod you mentioned requires that I need to take the phone apart and solder the hardware, is that correct? If that's the case, then I'll go ahead and cross that out as a possible solution.

I'm just a user, I think your looking for a 1337 mofo.
I think you need to get familiar with irc, and contact the overlords

I seriously doubt that all this was caused by deleting Superuser. You likely have a corrupt filesystem. Have a look at this thread:
