^ yeah, please try the pit, tar and odin from this thread just so I can isolate anything else.

I knew the buttons would be swapped, glad that you have that worked out.

I'd be curious if you follow the guide, everything SHOULD work appropriately.

If you have any other USB devices connected to your computer, remove them and reboot your PC. I had a LOT of issues with ODIN when my webcam was connected, as in, it did NOT work... removing the camera, never an issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m11c3:
for now.. i get result md5 for pit correct, odin3 v1.7 correct..

i think stock firmware to revert flase. i not use JFD.. i use VUVKAB.. so wait until download JFD done.. i will give report again.

i not use camera on my pc.. lol.. safe for me

thanks

I was just doing a test run so I didn't actually revert to stock yet!

I'm running Trigger 2.9.4 right now and testing a few different kernels...but I'm getting the urge to flash something new! I've flashed about 10 roms since getting rooted and have not had any major problems yet. I used your other stickies for the majority of my initial research BTW and they were very helpful.

Just thinking a good clean out may be in order before the next one...and I also need to get comfortable with this whole process especially if I decide to try MIUI or CM7.

Thanks for your help :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ if you go with CM7, I could use your feedback on my guide for it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m11c3:
i very frustated with vibrant.. past time ago succeded flash use JFD...

now i flash again use stock firmware KA6 i get from samfirmware.com

but screen just black.. no any reaction.. can't put to download mode

suck.. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

2 file i try flash : KA6 & VUVKAB. 2 file are corrupt , always failed or make error device.. my false again..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ I'm really only trying to support the files in this thread...

Remove the battery, wait some time, try download mode multiple ways multiple methods, try using a JIG, worst case exchange it (which I try and avoid telling people).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m11c3:
hahahaha... i know.. but all for learn & sharing..

version firmware JFD is only safe..

thanks for your support..

result my device hard brick.. just use JTAG for fix..

yesterday, i make homemade jig.. i test, still brick.. conclusion : hard brick
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Hate that happened man.... strongly encourage others to use the files i have only and to check the MD5 (there is a reason I put them there). The Vibrant guide shows how easy it is to check MD5s if you are not familiar.

A quick question (search isn't working right now)

Will reverting to stock through ODIN take away my unlock?

no, it shouldn't
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc411guy:
Ready to root mine due to horrible battery life - but I'm on KB5 (via minikies) so not sure exactly which method to get root I should use.

I get the rest (after root) as I've been rooting my G1 and Mytouch for a while.

Any help is appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
ODIN to JFD

Download the update.zip

move it to internal

reboot into recovery

reinstall packages

you are rooted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MailenJokerbell:
Everything went smooth (well, half smooth, I ****ed up at some point, but that doesn't matter)

The thing is, now I can't access CWR

It just sends me to the normal recovery.. Which I cannot do anything with.

Even when I open ROM Manager and try to install a rom from the SD card, it sends me to the normal recovery.

What can I do?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ Can you tell me exactly what you did? Doesn't sound like you followed my guide.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MailenJokerbell:
Everything exactly until reinstall packages.

After reinstalling them, it continues going to the Android System Recovery

it says :

--Movi_check Start...!!

checksum confirmation need_checksum[0]

Not need checksum confirmation

--Movi_checksum already executed!!..

---movi_checking done!...

#manual mode#

--Appling Muti-CSC

Installing muti-CSC

No idea what that is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Sounds like you don't have the CWR zip on your phone.

Open rom manager and flash cwr, then click to reboot into cwr, reintall packages.

The guide assumes you have CWR already..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MailenJokerbell:
I did have it.

Also the zip.

I also reinstalled ROM Manager and flashed CWR via ROM manager.

Nothing still.

I will do a full wipe then.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Did you go back to JFD?

it sounds like you have the stock 3E recovery, but you said you followed the guide so that's not possible.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MailenJokerbell:
Yes.

And I had 2e, if that's the one that was supposed to have.

Anyways, with the clean install it worked alright.

Thanks for the guide :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1665:
im having a similiar problem.. followed instructions VERBATIM (word for word) and I get to reinstall packages (used adb to push files to internal memory) the package reinstalls (successfully) and then my phone reboots into a blank screen with 4 lights at bottom.. tried pressing home no luck.. LMK what I am doing wrong.. I am comfy with odin and am able to flash Eugenes no brick file successfully, but "no available space" so I can't dl apps with eugenes pit and tar
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
LOL... I know what verbatim means. And I also never said anything about using adb, so I don't know how you can say you followed it verbatim. Regardless...

Do you mind starting over and doing it as I outlined? I think you and I both know everything is fine. No reason you should not be able to go to stock JFD and then root with the update.zip.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvsnail:
Good idea, always see people looking for the files or for Odin, eventhough I keep them and know where they are for me, it would be a great idea.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rising_Sun82:
Drivers issue

Hey, I just want to say that your instructions are the easiest I've seen yet to follow. That being said. The only issue I seem to be having is when it comes to the drivers I guess? I downloaded the drivers and installed. But when I open Odin, the ID:COM box isn't yellow or anything. I've tried restarting my computer but nothing. Know of anything else I can try? I'm running stock froyo from Kies. Thanks much!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ Are you using the USB that came with the phone? Do you have other items connected via USB (sounds stupid, but it prevents ODIN from working for me when my webcam is connected)?

If that doesn't help... are you on 32 or 64 windows, 7?

EDIT: Drivers... here is a site that I have personally used (just mirrors you to Samsung). Take note of the 64/32 tabs...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u170who:
HELP! after flashing, have a battery icon that turns on and off

So, first off, i want to say that this happened after i tried to use someone else's Odin guide to go back to stock FRoyo that was on the wiki. I now get a flashing battery icon after the restore, then if i unplug and try to go into recovery, i get a SAMSUNG VIBRANT flashing screen. So..i figured the Stock version i used was old and searched for a newer guide, which is yours. SO i tried to flash yours, and i get the same result. Any ideas? I just got this phone this week. Thanks in advance. Quick reply would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Odd, did you follow the guide exactly, and you used my files? Check the md5 to make sure it was a good download? Just want to make sure everything was since the way I know it.

Can you try again and maybe tell me a little more about what's going on... I'll try and help, but I've never heard your problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1665:
K might have deviated a bit... phone was bricked during bad rom install.. b4 attempting using your guide I was unable to get phone to boot therefore unable to place update.zip on internal memory the easy way... I just need to know what to do at the blank screen? Everything went successful up until blank screen with four buttons back lit, which you said was normal and to hit home.. on my phone this is not doing anything. Any ideas? Thanx. Your guide is great, but there's several of us with the same problem and I need a better answer than try again please.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I didn't tell YOU to try again... and I didn't say the screen blank was normal, just pointed out that if you press home in recovery it can make the screen go blank. I feel like you are being rude to me for some reason? I am not obligated to help, you know that right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
He said thanks and ended his post with please. How the hell did you get a feeling he's being rude is beyond me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
You really have over-sensitivity issues old man.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1665:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick1665:
Oops wasn't done.. anyways I solved my problem. (What caused my problem, along with many others.. a simple programming error which even gods, like Koush, can make------->) I repartitioned my internal sd using rom manager (worked on my MB). Youtube AKAskriller.(<------What solved my problem) He will actually help you instead of telling you that you can't read and to try again. Jeez where's the community love.

PS AKA doesnt steal. you can't steal if you quote your sources, not to mention he was the only person I saw that new to try to flash a I9000 no brick rom on my SGH959T, which forces it into an actual soft brick and some how when you flash back to 2.1 (A) it actually boots, instead of your genius black screen hit home button method and B) must repartition the internal sd card to the correct settings (FAT32 i believe). From this point I might actually be able to use your guide to get to 2.2, but after this i think i'll give my thanks to some one else.. cya and thanx for the help you did provide. jerk..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
seriously? You continue to insult me.. You say I'm flaming you?... You reference a MB (what device is this?)... You said you fixed it by doing the one thing nobody should do... And you tell people to go to a site that anyone in the know, knows just takes advantage of noobs.

From start to finnish. I got side tracked and ended up hard bricking my phone :D . but using your guide i'm getting it back. Full report coming up.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Robert, in short, you made this a lot harder than needed... Both in what you did, and now being on froyo (more of a pain to root because it requires more steps). Here is my suggestion, but you could go on and root and then use a modified 3e recovery... I just don't like it (much like I don't like kies or the toolkit.. They work great, just not my style).

again, my suggestion, you decide...

Odin to jfd using this guide. Then..

Download the update.zip in this guide and move it to your internal sd.

Reboot into stock recovery, press reinstall packages, reboot.

You are now rooted.

Download rom manager from the market.

Open it, select flash cwr (first option)

Select the Vibrant, follow prompts till success popup.

Select reboot into cwr now (second option)

If you get asuperuser prompt (you will) check to remember and allow.

You will be at stock recovery, reinstall packages, it will bring you back, select it again.

You are now at cwr, I suggest making a backup, should take around 5 minutes.

Reboot.

Download the Trigger rom from the development section (my suggestion again).

Move it to internal.

Go to rom manager, select to reboot into cwr.

If at stock, reinstall packages.. If in cwr, select to install from sd.. Continue and then select the trigger rom. Should take a few minutes, don't disturb it. Once done, reboot.

You will need to not touch your phone for about 15 minutes once it's rebooting. You will hear a last's voice telling you she is converting your file system to ext4 (much faster). You will then see the new boot screen... Really ideal to do nothing, once it boots, let it sit while it does it's thing. Then, reboot.

Now, you have a much sexier and faster phone, you have a rooted jfd backup too just in case.

Also, I suggest you stick with getting apps in the market... Flash 10.3 is there.

Oh, if you have the paid version of rom manager an unreleased/updated version of Trigger is available (i suggest getting Trigger 3.2 from xda though as the developer likely will be making more updates.. Just putting that on your radar, not trying to add to the confusion).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You are certain that you have the appropriate drivers installed?

When your phone is on, can your computer recognize it, and allow you to mount?

It's a driver issue, just not certain why odin is not recognizing it. Do you have any other usb devices plugged in (a big issue for me and the reason I can't make videos using odin, bc of mywebcam). Also, using the cable that came with your phone?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryspaz:
My apologies in advance--this is my first post ever. I recently tried to install Voodoo Lagfix on my TMo Vibrant running stock Eclair. It wouldn't boot up after that. I got on XDA read up about Odin, roms, etc and tried to flash Cyanogen because it sounded pretty cool. No dice. Right now I'm trying to just get the stock os running but I must be doing something wrong. Here's my process:

1) Open Odin

2) go into Download Mode (plugged in & recognized as COM4)

3) set "s1_odin_20100512.pit" as PIT file

4) set "T959UVJFD.rar" as PDA

5) click start

6) wait -- I've done this probably 20 times now. There are a smattering of different results in the Message screen. Here's the latest one:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Removed!!

<ID:0/003> Completed..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

At this point, the phone automatically reboots. It goes to the little console with the yellow writing for a second then reboots again. Then to the Tmo "Stick Together" pink square splash screen, then the Galaxy S "dingy dingy doo" splash screen, then it goes black and stays that way indefinitely. The capacitive buttons light up and dim when touched, but nothing happens on the screen. It just stays black.

I've tried everything I can find on the forum and figured it's time I posted. (Actually there's an AT&T splash screen before the Tmo one now because I think I've tried everything).

Please help.

The other problem was when ODIN hanged. This is what I did: unpluged the phone, closed ODIN, removed/put the battery back on, start over again. I got the "phone ! computer" icon but it made no difference.

I have a quick question that hopefully isn't a dumb one. I accidentally installed "clockworkmod" on my Samsung Vibrant (U.S.). I was told by one member of this site to "Odin" my phone into original stock. After researching “Odin” I came across a video on youtube called "Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant Flashing tutorial Part 1". Now, if I was to follow this video or the instructions provided above would the flash be successful? And if it were to be successful would I even be able to update naturally (like with Kies Mini)? :confused:
