This method needs to be a sticky

I accidently chose Phone for the tar file and after going to two Tmobile stores and having them send me a new one due Mon, I found Bildos suggestion to get spoton if you get the phone-!-pc icon.

Step 1. Pull phone from pocket

step 2. Look at phone very closely.

Step 3. Locate reflection of person who can't read or understand what they are doing

Step 4. Bash phone and head together til one breaks against the other, then place both in portable toilet.

ok I screwed up guys.

I installed ROM manager from the market, flashed clockwork, it asked me if I wanted to partition and I said yes.

Now I just get a black screen at boot. I've managed to run odin and it says success. But I still just get a black screen after boot.

Little help?
[Vibrant Android Development] gr8skilz:
Phew! Finally worked. Just gotta keep trying and itll work eventually.

[Vibrant Android Development] Fluesopp:
Ok, now I'm scared.

I followed all instructions and downloaded all the files in the first post.

Got into download mode, that working android guy screen, and got it up in Odin.

So I loaded the pit file into the pit section, and the tar file in the PDA section.

Then I pressed start, and got this log:

The screen on the phone turned pink and I got a message in Windows saying that some USB device malfunctioned...

I turned off the phone, and back on, and now I'm greeted by a 'phonesymbol .. warningsign .. pcsymbol"

What do I do now?

My software is Windows 7 x64

edit: It was my computer who were acting weird. Tried it on my W7 x32 laptop and it worked great.

1) If you have root and a terminal app, just do:

su

reboot download

That worked beautifully for me where the button circus failed.

2) Thank you, I deleted too many things after getting root and needed stock again.

* PS - If Odin does nothing for you, install the drivers for your phone.

Is there any way to flash the stock rom without a computer cause I dont have access to one at the moment. Im still able to use my phone I just have to get a replacement. Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] relevent81:
Try unchecking the reboot option.

Also try redownloading the larger file (200mb?). Doing both worked for me, but your mileage may vary.

cache.fs problem in odin

I FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE ODIN PROBLEM!!!

http://www.fractionalphones.com/?p=121
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I restored mine via ODIN this weekend and my data_tmo is there completely intact. However, I was on the same rom to begin with but wouldn't that partition have been wiped anyway during the ODIN restore? I didn't realize data_tmo was a partition; I just thought it was a plain folder and that maybe my Titanium restore put back the contents. Either way I don't really use The Sims game. At first I thought the intial launcher was just a bloatware link until I started poking around and found the full apk on the phone. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] ags29:
Just to clarify this altogether - this brings my phone back to the LATEST OFFICIAL STOCK UNROOTED version of the phone correct? Meaning when they release 2.2, I shouldn't have any problems receiving an OTA update?

Tried flashing ODIN, got stuck on cache.fs (15 minutes), so I closed ODIN, and pulled battery, and now I am stuck on this screen. Has a small yellow exclamation mark between a cell phone and a computer

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

WTF is that??
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
Sorry man phones Bricked!!!

Just kidding, just put it in download mode and try again. Sometimes it takes a few tries using Odin.

Just plug it in hold volume rocker and power button, when screen goes blank let go of power button only. Then it will go back into download mode.

If you have windows seven there is a little fix that helps cache.fs issue. I will look for it and post it in an update. I personally never used this windows 7 fix and retry over and over to get Odin to work when i get the cache.fs error.

FYI, should only take like 5 minutes to reflash. So if you're at cache.fs for longer then a couple minutes try again.

UPDATE

Here's the fix, it was in this thread lol.

[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
make sure you guys are choosing the 512 pit file. the ODIN download comes with 513. It doesn't work.

For those that are stuck at the tri-angle--!--PC screen, unplug USB from phone only, pop bat out, put bat back in, press vol down+vol up and put USB back into phone all at the same time. this should trigger it to go to Download Mode. may take a couple of tries, but it works.

For those stuck at cache.rfs, close ODIN and try again.

@pinoiryder sounds like you used pit 513. it did this to me yesterday when I used it by mistake. pop the bat out, and put back in, then go to download mode and reflash with pit 512.

So I went through the instructions and, when I hit Start, I get:

No reboot (though Auto-Reboot) was checked and the screen still shows a big triangle (shovel?) with the Anroid guy.

What happened? Did I load up one of the files incorrectly?

Oh, yeah, she has Windows 7 and we can't find a copy of XP.

That must be the issue, right?

I'm not sure about that. After re-flashing to the "stock" ROM some of the videos that used to play on my Vibrant will no longer play. Several web sites that I used to be able to stream video from give a "unsupported format" error as well. I'm not sure if my flash is bad somehow or if the "stock" ROM is missing some CODECs.

I am totally newbee to Android and have been reading a lot all over the web and mainlty here at this super great knowledgebase. I am getting used to and learning new words almost everyday.

I have question though on restoring to "stock".

Let's suppose I have screwed up and can't start my phone for whatever reason, so that I won't have access to "ROM Manager" application, correct? In that case, how do I "Reboot into Recovery"? I am confused here...

When I reboot using POWER KEY and VOLUME UP key, options I see are very limited and I don't see Nandroid there, so how exactly would I able to use this Nandroid images?

thank you

You gotta pull your battery, put your phone in download mode and try again. Your phone will probably display a pic of a monitor and phone instead of the normal vibrant startup. Thats okay, just put it in download and try agian.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
yes but i just can get my phone to download mode usin adb because ive been trying to do it with volume keys and never does!

Perhaps you should do a little more growing up before trying to mod your phone again. I hear T-Mobile has an extensive line of basic handsets.
[Vibrant Android Development] Relikk356:
You probably tried this, but this is what works for me for download mode.

Power off phone.

Plug into USB.

Hold Volume up/ Volume Down and power button

When screen flashes blank once, let go of power button but continue to hold down volume rocker.

Phone will hopefully go to download mode.

Good luck man!!!

FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE THEIR DEVICE IN ODIN:

I was having the same issue. It turns out it's because my computer is running 64-bit Windows 7. I have a laptop with 32-bit Windows 7 so I put Odin and the files on there and it worked fine. For added security/safety be sure to Disable Driver Signing Enforcement as mentioned previously in this thread.

Will using the nandroid backup also act as an odin? Restoring and deleting everything?
[Vibrant Android Development] georgegreco86:
Just go to www.google.com . search for the64bit drivers for both the samsung. and anything else you may need.

next, odin, try compatibility (if on 7)

if not, a COM should show. If not your drivers are not correct. Plain and simple.

which one do i use if im going to return my rooted samsung vibrant running eugene hybrid?
[Vibrant Android Development] drewtang:
You can use either odin, or the nandroid image that says unrooted...
[Vibrant Android Development] giganticprune:
I seem to be having issues loading this. im not sure exactly what happened earlier, but i had a eugene rom on earlier today, backed it up; then loaded a bionix. i wasnt happy with it so i restored my backup. rom manager errored in some way, and when i rebooted i couldnt get past my lock screen, all my apps kept FC'ing.

so i decide i just have to wipe clean and go to the stock rom. i follow these directions and odin hangs every time.

the only rom i can get loaded is eugenes froyo rom you can get loaded via Odin. i would be fine with that but it is extremely buggy, and now rom manager really hates me and crashes everytime it hits recovery.

not sure what my next step is.

edit. now i cant get eugenes froyo on. now its just bricked :\

i can get it into download mode at least.

I was in your same boat, but realized I didnt really have the phone in download mode, you need to be at the screen with the android digger

1. Power down phone with no USB cable connected.

2. Once you see "good bye" connect USB cable.

3. Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.

4. Hold vol+ and vol-.

5. Press power until screen goes black, then let go of power only.

6. Should see the yellow digger.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougefresh91:
Now it's loading. After an hour and two screwdrivers. Ugh.

I tried a number of different things. What got it going for me was yanking the phone USB once it was hung and pulling the battery. Put it back in to DL mode, replugged it in to the computer. ODIN recognized it, I hit start and blammo, the vomitous pink t-mobile splash screen greets me a couple minutes later. Phew. My first brick, and I didn't even do anything but try to remove the RyanZA lagfix.

Hope this might help someone else. btw, I'm in 64-bit Win7. I switched USB ports at one point as well; no clue if that mattered or not.
