You posted in two forums. Please do not double post. One is sufficient.
No need to repartition.
Do not repartition.
Enter recovery - hold all three buttons, (power, volume up, volume down) continuously until the boot screen appears the second time, then release.
Perform a wipe data/factory reset. If your phone boots, you are done...
If you are still unable to enter recovery, re-flash the stock firmware:
Download Odin3 v1.85.
Download I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5.7z.
Extract I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8_I777UCMD8_HOME.tar.md5 from the 7z archive, and flash in the PDA slot of Odin3 v1.85.
Then enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
thanks, sorry
but I re-flash with odin and the firmware but still do not go to recovery mode and then flash the screen stays on at&t log i need to enter recovery mode

Did you follow my instruction for getting into recovery?
If you flash the stock firmware that I linked above, and you got a pass, then you should be able to get into recovery.
If you are unable to get into recovery, then either you are doing something wrong, or the phone has some sort of internal damage.
if I did I think I have the boot porblem

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.
Im a noob, so basically I rooted my phone and went into CWM recovery to flash a new ROM but stupid me didnt back up my stock ROM, and also I totally fogot to download a Custom ROM onto my sd card, so I went into CWM and cleared cache, clear data/factory reset, and rebooted but then it kept turning on and kept on doing that, the samsung logo comes on then keeps repeating.
After I went in cwm again and clear davnik cache, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset a load of time randomly but it still didnt work PLEASEE HELP IM A STUPID NOOB AND I only got this new!!!
you didnt flash anything so it should still be fine, just without your data,you can get into recovery or download mode why not flash a new rom in odin?,your phone is still fine.look for a stock rom to revert
Your phone will take 5 to 10 minutes to boot after clearing cache, so if you are sure your mobile doesn't boot after 10 minutes then you have two alternatives .
1. Boot into cwm, connect your mobile to PC, mount your sdcard via cwm, copy the custom rom and flash it.
2. Download a stock from and flash it via odin
#*posted on the move *#
Flash again
1. Download a new stock rom from samfirmware.com
2. Save it to your pc
3. Get odin 1.85
4. Put your phone in download mode make sure battery is at least 50%, by holding down volume down, power and home key
5. Once in download mode press volume up to continue
6. Now on your pc you installed open odin 1.85 open the program
7. Connect the usb cable to phone first then to your pc.
8. Wait for the first box in odin to come yellow
9. Once it does click on 'pda' and find the stock firmware you downloaded do remember do not extract it nothing.
10. Once you have selected the file it will appear in the PDA section sometimes depending on the stock rom there might be 3 files so you may need to put the other files in the section above and below PDA so make sure you read this before anything.
11. Once done click start
Once the box turns green it will say passed and your phone will reboot and you will have successfully installed the original firmware back again.
Anything you dont understand reply back.

Hello,
I am an owner on a i9100g on cyanogenmod 10.1 stable...
The Home button suddently stopped working. I tried to flash a stock rom and I got a successful flash, but a bootloop at restart.
My issues are:
I cannot go in Recovery mode since Home button doesn't work
I can flash using odin using a usb jig to put it in download mode
So... What do you propose to do?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have the same issue, I was in CM 10.1.1 stable and home button not working.
Then, I tried to flash a stock ROM via Odin, and now my phone is stuck in a bootloop...
I tried to flash different ROMS (always stock from sammobile.com) but every time the result is the same: bootloop.
The problem is that as my home button is not working, I cannot go into recovery mode to do a factory reset or flash a custom ROM, neither in download mode (I use a home made JIG for this).
I have also tried to flash the correct OMAP pit file, hoping for it to do a full wipe, but did not work either, my phone is still in a boot loop.
My last hope would be to do a OMAP flash as described here: link
But I am not sure it will fix the problem and this solution is quite risky...
Does anyone have another idea / suggestion ?
Also, I am not confident in changing my home button as it is necessary to remove the LCD first...
@GamingDj: I did not found any i9100g compatible DorimanX kernel, only i9100...
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers
Help
Any help on this issue please ?
My phone is still dead
Fixed it !
I found a way to make it work, and I think it can be useful to some other people.
Here is what I did:
Remove the battery and insert it back in
Insert a USG jig to enter Download mode
Flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com using ODIN, Auto-reboot should be UNCHECKED
Phone will stay in Download mode after the flash is complete. This way the phone will NOT install the package yet
Remove the battery and insert it back in
Plug the JIG to enter Download mode again
Flash the right version of CWM kernel
Reboot the phone
What it did is that the phone tried to install the stock ROM, and ran CWM kernel (instead of the stock one).
The phone boot in Recovery mode with a little instruction at the bottom "Invalid args"
My guess is that CWM does not have the same API and failed to execute the commands.
But... Who cares ? I was in Recovery mode
I was able to Wipe data/Factory reset and wipe cache. Phone is back to life (Home button still broken though...).
Hope this tread can help others in the same position...
Cheers !
Can u use adb?
then, you can enter the recovery mode by using adb reboot recovery

I've been searching for about an hour now, and I can't find any threads regarding a full wipe Odin reset for NK1. I am selling the phone, and when I factory reset it through settings, it just takes me to the Odin download mode for half an hour doing nothing instead of going to the Android System recovery. Manually trying to enter recovery also just shoots me back into download mode. Does anyone know where I can find the TAR and how to reset it with Odin 3.10.0?

Check this thread.
I used the I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar to restore my GS4 and I believe it's pretty much stock. No Samsung lock screen on boot up or root. Unzip the rar file and use the md5 on Odin . Just load the file by pushing the AP button and selecting it, leave all other settings at default and start. It should load onto your phone and when done the phone will reboot and you'll see the blue line filling in.
When you boot up you're back to the initial set up on your phone.
you could flash the NC5 package from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 and then let it OTA
but you really don't need todo the full-wipe
all that does is erase and re-create the partitions which is a guaranteed brick if something goes wrong during the flash
I would stick the the nk1 odin tar posted above thats more then sufficient

1. Get TWRP recovery for your device. Flash it using Odin. If you can't flash it using Odin, use ADB and flash TWRP.
2. Here on, if you can successfully flash the stock ROM to your device using TWRP, you will have the device with stock Android running.
3. If you can't flash, enter TWRP recovery and mount all the drives and wipe them. Now flash stock ROM. You will have your device back.:good:
hi guys i found an artical

if anyone can use this documentation to bypass mdm mode it will be great
Very good. Very interesting.
But is for developers ...
Code is missing ....
as long as you can get into download mode it is pretty simple Ive done quite a few. Download stock firmware and in odin click on the options tab select nand erase all checkbox and flash the stock files in and it removed the mdm while flashing.
Worked for me

For me this worked pretty much, but I only needed step 1. Once inside TWRP recovery, I just needed to wipe to factory reset and reboot. These were the steps for my Eat 24 tablet SM-T280:
1. Install the drivers if necessary
2. Go to Download mode by using Volume Down + Home + Power
3. Download and Extract TWRP compatible with SM-T280 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...covery-samsung-galaxy-tab-a6-sm-t280-t3475381. TWRP is a custom recovery image for Android.
4. Download and Install Odin (this works only on Samsung devices)
5. Use Odin by running as administrator, uncheck Auto Reboot, select AP and point to the extracted TWRP .tar file, then click on start.
6. Once successful, hold home + volume down + power to shut off tablet.
7. Go to TWRP recovery by holding home + volume up + power.
8. Select "Wipe", and "swipe to factory reset"
9. Reboot
This worked for my SM-T280

I'm writing this reply in hopes that it will help anyone else in a similar situation.
Before finding this thread i had zero, ZERO experience rooting/flashing twrp'ing, whatever you call it.
I still don't understand fully what i did by following the instructions in this thread.
I just know it worked.
By using the instructions here and from another thread on this website, i was able to successfully flash twrp [whatever you call it] my Samsung A6 that was in mdm mode.
Prior to following the instructions in this thread, i could only go online with my tablet. It wouldn't let me open any settings, change anything, it wouldn't let me do a factory reset.
Now, i am able to use the tablet as if i had just purchased it.
After following the instructions, and after rebooting, i saw the screens you normally see when you turn on your tablet for the first time. All of the setup, agree to terms, Samsung account setup, available WiFi connections; everything; it was all there just like it's supposed to be.
I was so excited to see the setup screens.
After agreeing and going through setup I was able to use my tablet 100% like normal.
Thank you and thank you to the other users who posted directions on how to do this.
I will soon post my own new thread that will have each step laid out so that anyone in the same situation can easily follow it from beginning to end.

Hi, I was able to unlock a Samsung Galaxy Tab A that was locked in MDM mode by postmates.
MDM blocked any recovery wiping or download mode flashing, so I couldn't flash TWRP.
I was able to set a screen lock (pattern) and turn on "wipe after 15 attempts." After 15 attempts it rebooted and was stuck on the logo screen for hours so I figured it didn't do anything. I was able to reboot into download mode and successfully flash TWRP at this point (I forgot to select NAND erase). I also was able to flash the stock rom, though unable to wipe in recovery first. I wasn't able to get into TWRP.
It rebooted and seemed like before, with the postmates kiosk mode and MDM lock in recovery wipe and download mode flashing. I went back into download mode and tried to flash TWRP again with nand selected. It didn't work, neither did flashing a ROM.
Anyways, it rebooted into the setup screen as if it was wiped.
