[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] coldcrush390:
Well I barely got my phone about 4 days ago, and i couldn't get my mind out of rooting and flashing the device.. and without much research... that's where I think I was being a little stupid.. I had got online and saw this program on wiki for samsung vibrant phones called "heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32" and I read what it told me to do.. now this wikipedia site said that with heimdall i can flash "Cmenard-overstock-vibrant" I had done that and right away the phone would load up to the galaxy S boot logo and turn black... the only thing after that were the little lights would react to touching them. I got freaked out and started looking for information like crazy.. I honestly can say I started around 11Pm and did not go to bed researching til 7am and sadly still nothing.. I grabbed a better usb cable just today. my other one is kind of torn and kept coming on and off I would have to keep it at a certain angle. But this one works perfect! I don't get the actual charger til monday, the person I bought this phone has an Iphone 4s and didn't want his galaxy anymore so I took the opportunity to buy it for $100. A good deal like that I should of never played with this phone and I regret it... a day later I find out I don't have the vibrant.. I have the galaxy s 4g. I can still boot into download mode however now everytime it boots up it bootloops and has the samsung vibrant logo instead of the standard Samsung Galaxy 4g s logo with T-mobile. I'm finding this to be so complicated I wish I could go back to stock... please someone on here help me.. I'd appreciate it so much. Thank you for reading and I hope to get someone's response soon

I first want to say thank you guys for directing me towards the right area.

This is going to sound a little weird...

I've gotten the stock KC1 rom to flash and I kept getting failed. I thought I was stuck at the samsung screen logo

i waited about 2 minutes later and it booted up! Weird so anyways now what's bugging me now is this phone keeps Vibrating! what's going on? is there another update to a stock rom I can flash that will work? Do I have to be rooted? Can I unroot yet? (because I don't wanna mess with this no more!) lol what can I do to make this phone back to normal?

I'll tell you what I am capable of doing now

Go into stock recovery

Go into download mode

and boot my phone

once again I'd like to thank you all :)

UPDATE!!!!!

12:17AM Central

I have fully restored my rom with Mr. bkoon1218 assistance!!!

Here's what I did just in case anyone runs into what I did. I will say what mistakes I had done and then give my resolutions that couldn't have been possible without the assistance of these awesome members!

1. I was curious on flashing a custom recovery to my device, STUPIDLY I did not read or research anything regarding this phone.

2. I flashed Cmenard with heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32 thinking that it would give me a recovery because I thought that I had the Samsung Galaxy *Vibrant*

3.Two days stressfully googling and googling for corrections and mistakes other may have done like me I had no choice but to ask myself.

I started off in the Vibrant section and a guy helped me out with flashing the rom but still nothing. Given instructions I felt my phone was done. I would get glitches and a nasty pixelated boot.

4. I researched my phone model number on the back of my phone and realized my phone wasn't the Vibrant.. Then it banged my head when another emailed me saying it was weird that my Samsung Vibrant was a 4g device lol.

5. I then moved to Samsung Galaxy S 4g and proceeded to find help along with the research I had done.. I even tried all the Odin updates thinking that could've made the difference.

*Resolution*

1. THANKS TO ALL FOR HELPING FIRST OFF ALL!!! YOU ARE ALL GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Next! A BIG THANKS! to * bkoon1218 *

for providing me with a helpful link where I read and understood what this rom was for. LINK - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1129933

2.Downloading Hawk.zip file I then used Winrar to extract it and there are four files!

-1.SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB.tar.md5

-2.Sgs4g.pit

-3.T959VUVKC1-Phone-CL932707.tar.md5

-4.T959VUVKC1-REV00-ALL-low-CL933594.tar.md5

3. I tried Odin 1.85 and it didn't work for me however I now know the reason why and what's funny is it happend accidentally.

I forgot to uncheck Re-Partition and I thought it would immediately softbrick my phone!! I started to see however it doing it's magic!

I said "ahh might as well let it go through the process I'll just one click unbrick my phone if it doesn't do it again..". By the way I used Odin 1.7.

and poom!!!! I got a pass!!! *This was only with Checking the box Re-Partition!*

4.So I am now fully fresh back to stock and unrooted and I am done. I decided to write this for any others that go through the same problem I did. I don't mean to take anybody's credit or anything I just want other to look this up when they accidentally flash their phone with a different rom and are as lucky as I am.
