Now that I have your attention, after a series of mistakes, I am stuck in recovery with a rom that won't flash, an sd card that won't mount and cwm recovery so I don't think I can use adb to move files. Also, no nandroids (learn from my mistakes children!)
I'm not used to samsung phones so I don't know if it is trying to flash the rom from internal memory or not but under mounts it says unmount /mnt/sdcard so I think that means its trying to flash from internal memory which I don't think is possible.
EDIT: Wait, now I just have the boot screen no recovery... HELP!
I see Sprint as your provider....is this to deal with a T-mobile Vibrant? Just asking...
Read about ODIN. It will get you right back to where you need to be.

Yes its a tmo vibrant (its my friends phone, luckily im bigger than him)
So after a couple hours of searching, I can get the phone into download mode, I have the right odin and software to go to stock, and supposedly the right drivers, but when I plug the phone in to get to download mode, my computer recognizes it, it goes into download mode, but odin doesn't see the phone(a box is supposed to go yellow?). The only thing I can think of is that I have the wrong drivers but my computer sees it just fine...
I think it's the phone not letting the computer get to it. I'm almost positive I have the right drivers but when I plug in the phone in download mode nothing happens in odin. Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, If you can get into recovery without CWM that is better Try the holding down the vol-up/down and hold the start/on button at the same time if it blinks on then off then on then off then release all buttons if that works you should see the recovery menu, if you have the rom in your internal sd card, then you can install by choosing install from sd card then choose select file next menu.
If not you may need to use
Get Odin going (version 1.7or newer) have the usb plugged into the computer not the phone remove the battery and this time only hold the vol up/down at the same time and then plug in the usb. That will get you into recovery and you can odin back or install from there.
READ the NOOB guide by S15274N in the General section sticky. It has a complete play by play on how to do this.
Good luck
Yea I currently have odin 1.7 with I assume the right drivers (ive never had the phone plugged in to this computer while operational) and I do exactly that to get the phone in download mode and odin never sees it. The computer dings and recognizes it (thats how im installing the drivers) but not odin.
Remove the battery, put back in
Open odin
Plug usb into pc, not phone
Go to download mode
Plug usb to phone
Com 3 or 5 connected?
And be positive you have the right odin
If you can get into clockworkmod you should be fine. Just select install from SD and scroll to the zip file of the rom. Give it time to reboot say 5 to 10 minutes. While that's working get the newer version of Odin 1.8??? If the Tom fails in clockwork then do a battery pull. Start Odin. Plug USB into phone only. Hold both volume up and down. While holding plug USB into computer.
I'll go to the computer in a sec and see if I can find a link for latest Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Steps 1 through 4 but odin doesn't respond to the phone being plugged in.
If it makes a difference, to get to download mode, I have to boot into recovery, go to 'ULF Lagfix features' and select reboot into download mode. It also will go into download mode if I hold the volume buttons and then plug in the phone.
I really dont see what I'm doing wrong thats why I started a thread.
I have odin 1.7 ill go try to find 1.8?
Wait, why can't you just reboot? Did I miss something?
Um all the phone can do is go to recovery, and download mode, I have a rom on the phone that won't flash, after a little research, i'm pretty sure the md5 checksum of that rom is bad, therefore won't flash. Im not a samsung guy, is it possible to flash a rom from internal memory? Could I just push a rom through adb? All I have is recovery though and im pretty sure that doesn't support adb. I do have the option to mount usb mass storage though.This is why i'm using odin as a last resort because im used to htc phones this is my friends sammy.
Try this version of Odin...http://www.mediafire.com/file/z7e8fg365znsfpn/Odin3 v1.81.exe
Nope nothing. Damn could it be that I have the wrong files, but that wouldn't change the fact that odin isn't seeing my phone. Does odin take an extraordinary long time to find the phone or something because nothing happens when I plug in in download mode? BTW thanks for the help its nice to see some support
Also I'm not clear as to where your at exactly. When you flashed the rom did it reboot to the Vibrant screen or give you a message in clockwork that it failed. If it booted to the vibrant screen did you give it at least 5 minutes or more to boot (it can take awhile for the initial boot.)
Either way the newer Odin version should recognize the phone. I know I had problems with the older versions.
Yea I put the rom on let it sit for 15 min, came back changed the language then gave it a reboot to let it settle back in. It reset again on the reboot. After about another 30 min of messing with it, im like screw it lets go to another rom that I already had on the sd card, I booted into recovery, to find that it wasnt seeing the sd card. I then restarted (in norwegian) and put a new rom on the phone. (On my mac it recognized the sd card and the internal storage so I put it on both in case) I then went to flash this new different rom through recovery which failed. The new rom flash deleted the old rom but never flashed the new one, leaving me with recovery. After hours of trying to figure out if I can adb push a new rom into recovery, I decided to try odin. After installing drivers and finding all the stock files, im now at this point where odin wont see the phone. Thats just about the whole story give or take.
Edit: The only problem with your rom was that it reset the language every time I turned it on and that it lost my sd card because it was the wrong kernel. I'm now trying to flash a different rom, in an attempt to fix the sd card, but it failed for whatever reason, and has left me with nothing.

Okay got it now...First, did you try the newer Odin that I posted? Second are you able to ADB push to the internal still. If you can do either of these then go here..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 if doing ADB the get any of the .zip files, push to phone and flash. If able to use Odin then get any of the .tar files. Go into Odin UNCHECK repartition and only load the .tar file into PDA and click start.
Seems that there is a problem going backwards from 2.2.1 to 2.2
Hope this helps.
Yes the new Odin is the one I just tried and it's still not working. Also, when I try to start adb it says no such file or directory. I can only get into recovery and I dont think adb works from recovery. I guess what im trying to say is that my sd card won't mount, I can only flash from internal memory, but I cant add or remove from the internal memory because I don't have a rom to boot into. Also, for whatever reason, odin won't find my phone. Sounds grim unless I can try odin on a different computer (maybe that would make a difference) or I can adb push files to my internal storage from recovery.
Do you still have the my rom on there and have you tried to reflash it?
If not try that and then put one of the kernels from the last link on your phone and flash that first then flash the rom you are trying to get to. I am assuming that you are not trying to flash to the CM7 rom because that has a few steps just to get ready to flash.
EDIT; If you are able to reflash SimplyGalaxy2.3 let me know and we can go from there to get you back to where you want. Also which rom are you trying to flash to.
Hi guys,
Here's what I've done.
Galaxy S2, rooted several days ago using CF-Root no problem.
Flashed Cyanogen 7.1 been using it for a couple of days, no problem.
I had the yellow triangle on boot and I bought a USB Jig thinking that would remove it.
It put the phone into Odin mode, but didn't remove the triangle.
So then, still with Cyanogen 7.1 on the phone, I powered off the phone, connected it up on Odin and used the PDA button to flash an official Samsung Kernel (Kernel_I9100XWKI4) - I remember XKWI4 was on my phone originally before I did anything. I guess this had changed with Cyanogen being installed.
Now the situation is I cannot power the phone on at all, just black screen.
Plugging in the USB jig does absolutely nothing.
If I have Odin open and connect the phone to the PC, Odin does recognise the phone.
Can anyone help me please - only had the phone a week!
Remove battery wait 10s, put battery back and either use the jig or boot while holding home vol-down and power.
i remember when i was fixing my brother galaxy s captivate after i flashed cyanogenmod i had to install google aosp drivers as opposed to samsung drivers to get odin to recognize his phone. So...try that.
Thanks for the replies guys.
Basically ODIN can see the phone.
I had managed to get the phone to boot to the Samsung screen (triangle gone as now on Stock Kernel) however it would stay on this screen forever.
I have used ODIN and flashed CWM recovery 4.0.1.5 to the phone which I can access using the 3 key combo. Obviously after doing this, the phone now boots with the triangle however it stays on the Samsung screen permentantly.
I figured I would try to re-flash Cyanogen.
Problem I now have is that Cyanogen is on the removable SD card - the phones internal 16Gb "card" is empty.
I can't get CWM to see anything on the removable SD card.
If I simply power on the phone currently, I get the Samsung flash screen with the triangle (no longer bothered about removing this, I just want the phone to work!) and it stays like this permentantly.
I can access CWM Recovery Mode, however it cannot see the removable SD card.
I can also access ODIN download mode and the phone is detected with ODIN.
I am unsure as to what Kernel is currently on the phone.
Either connect your phone to the pc while in recovery, go to mounts and storage and mount sd (or internal memory, no idea what the actual name is) and copy the rom to the internal sd card. Or use odin to start fresh again.

i'v solved it, finally found my sideload in sdcard and boom, it works now,
I need help.
I'm running this rom and lately my phone has just been rebooting randomly, well now its switched off and I can't get passed the "Samsung Galaxy S3" on boot. I don't even get to the omni animation.
I booted into recovery in an attempt to flash an old nightly but when I click on install TWRP says 0 internal memory and 0 external memory?
What do I do?
Please help, thanks.
Edit - Another thing, I went to reboot while in recovery and it said I had no OS installed?
It just occured to me that I could probably flash a rom/nightly via odin, since I can get into dl/recovery mode, but since it says 0gb int and ext when in recovery, will this work?
Not detecting memory seems like a hardware issue to me, but I know literally nothing, just asking/helping/promting
ps when i plug in the charger, the battery logo comes up
although its empty (not green), and it has a little circle in the middle to indicating loading of some kind, but the circle doesn't spin, like it's crashed.
i know i have at least 50% battery because it says so when i enter recovery
Recovery format sdcard system data cache .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
I ran into a serious problem and now I do not know how to fix it. It turns out that I wanted to install a rom to my cell phone, since the stock I had was giving problems with the battery indicator, and I tried to calibrate it and even used others also following different steps to calibrate them, but always the same problem; Well, after root I found the problem that I could not install anything from the recovery mode of the cell phone, there was a problem that was disabled and could not from the sd, or internal, or adb or anything. Finally I decided to find an application to install twrp and flash the rom, downloaded flashify and I did.
When I went into recovery to flash the rom the cell phone did not change the logo with the message in a corner that is not the official recovery as always comes out when a custom is installed. And there it stays.
I can not turn it on normally, because each time I turn it on it goes directly to the logo with the message that it is not the original recovery, as if trying to access the recovery.
PS: I can not use odin, it does not recognize the cell phone when it is in odin mode, since all the drivers are installed and the kies, I reinstalled everything 3 times every time I tried it. And I can not enter odin mode, and the home button does not work, I used adb, but since it does not turn on, it does not recognize it either.

To enter in to the download mode you can use JIG USB which looks like this :

You can buy that jig USB on E-Bay
or you can use this tool but little Warning !!!

File was scanned against viruses and it has some , maybe because like that he make your device in download mode.

Good Luck
I'll try with the usb jig. Still don't know if buy the resistance and make one or just buy the jig. Then i will see if i can get for odin to detect the phone, using some kind of witchcraft or whatever hahahaha.
Thanks, I will set the thread as solved.
Good Luck
