I'm in the exact same boat. I had Nero 3 running but wanted to update to the new voodoo but decided to start from square one as I went from Nero 2 to Nero 3. Had a few minor weird things with that.

This sucks. I disabled Voodoo lagfix first too. Then I tried ODIN and same crap as you. Post back if you get anywhere. I'll do the same.

PS I've got it into download mode and it hangs on cache.rfs as well

LATEST - Got Odin to work. I'm running thru a USB hub. I kept switching ports until it finally hit. A couple of times I didn't even make it to cache.rfs, it hung on file analysis. It mind have even just been timing too as to how fast I did each step. Who knows.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Im just curious. But it seems a lot of people are using odin to install this rom. Why. I was running v3 then saw there was a new version of voodoo. I just read the instructions: disabled voodoo via recovery, not through cwm, rebooted. Then through cwn flashed updated voodoo zip, after entry into recovery with power button and enabled voodoo. And no problems. I've been flashing one on top of the other with no problems. Just my two cents.
[Vibrant Android Development] VVinny:
I had the same problem...followed the thread (all 51 pages My Godddd) and some one said to check device manager. When I went in to device manager I had the triangular symbol with the exclamation mark over my Samsung Composite Device (excuse my noobiness here)--essentially the it isn't working symbol. I right clicked and removed the device. I unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in and Bam!!! COM 22? I wasn't expecting that big a number, especially after reading people getting COM 2, COM 3 etc..Also the youtube videos helped. 8 hours. This is my second brick, and the first one I had replaced by T-Mobile and said I wouldn't custom ROM again.I lied; I was going to fight it out this trip. I have taken up enough space so thank you:

To justanothercrowd...man ty.

The dude who made the WinRar program, FREE FOR 40 DAYS...WOW..TY... one smart SOB.

To Relikk356 for making it so a dumb azz like me could catch it.

The dude who suggested youtube vids...ODIN was just a cloud until I saw the videos, then I realized it was an actual program.LOL.
[Vibrant Android Development] osugsxr:
need some help, where can i download odin and the files need, files on first page arent working
[Vibrant Android Development] :
They worked for me but did not solve the MBR checksum error I get which I posted about here. I feel like I am about to freak out because it was an early gift my brother brought just before thanksgiving last month. I am just about out of options but I do hear its hard to brick these phones. Also I fell for the nasty trick in the rom manager that I again mention in the thread I linked in this post.
[Vibrant Android Development] ronaldhkw:
Hey man, I just fixed this problem. What I did was I flashed Eugene's Froyo Rom and then flashed back to the Tmobile Rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Yea I saw that but the problem is that the thread that has his rom linked has no links at all.

EDIT: Think I found it on his new site.

EDIT 2: Thanks it worked! Now I can sleep easy. I was so upset last night, there was a guy over on the android forums that gave me his number and was trying to help me out (at 2am local time no less). We spent about 3 hours on the phone trying different things. He did walk me through the steps with odin but didn't mention anything about the eugene rom. I just happened to find it on my own earlier today after getting home from my xmas trip.

EDIT 3: I think the Tmo rom I was given is bad because its back to having the problem again.

EDIT 4: The eugene rom seems to be the only one that is working because the Tmobile rom is failing to work each time I flash it. But anyways I am trying a few other things I off of a site that was given to me and hope to have it back to the stock 2.1 firmware.

EDIT 5: Did a few things off of that site and got my phone flashed and working and I even put froyo. I am in the process of restoring my backup I made before I screwed up but so far I really like it.
[Vibrant Android Development] ipetloudog:
I want a screenshot of your software versions. Im guessing it doesnt say tmobile. Im not buying it until I see proof that this "OMGOFFICIALTMOBILE". Sorry if I seem like a jerk but ive been waiting for official stock for whenever the official OTA samsung us updates ever roll out. Post a screen guys. Prove me wrong.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I ended up using eugenes froyo rom from his website and its working wonderful and I couldn't be any happier. But as far as official tmo rom goes I think it was just an error on my part when flashing it.

By the way these forums won't let me link it so I have to attach it.

ODIN Problem

I don't know what I am doing wrong and have followed post from here so I can go back to stock but ODIN keeps failing for me. I keep getting stuck at different parts in the ODIN, ie file analysis and can't get back to stock. I am using Nero V3. Do I need to flash the stock kernel before I flash the stock rom? Any help will be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
Hi everyone...

I had this downloaded before but cannot find it.. anyway, trying to download the 3-file pack with the root/update.zip but it's giving a dropbox error. I remember there being another link for it but I tried skimming all of the pages and cannot find it. Does anyone have a link for the 3-file pack? Thanks... m00n
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I do. I have the pack on my dropbox. Let me see if i can get the link for you, am out and about right now.

Edit: i will have to wait till i get back to the house to do it unless you can pm me your email.
[Vibrant Android Development] m00nshake:
thanks. Sent a PM
[Vibrant Android Development] Kprender:
Ok i feel stupid for this but i have a problem. I was trying to flash a rom to my brother in laws vibrant using odin. The problem is that I have a captivate and did even realize until after I started using the Captiavte odin. The vibrant is stuck at the AT&T boot screen. I downloaded the Vibrant odin but cant get it to start!

any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I can't get the link atm because I am posting from my phone but check one of the recent threads I replied in over in the vibrant section of the android forums. There's one I started then another I replied in to help a guy out and in that one is all the links and instructions you need. When you get to the final part of flashing a rom you can use any and don't have to use the ones I have linked.
[Vibrant Android Development] Kprender:
Thank you so much that worked, i thought i was screwed for a while there.
[Vibrant Android Development] PreVayl:
???

Does this restore my phone to stock so i can send back to tmobile?

ive been reading for 5-6 hours and im struggling to understand phone tech terminology
[Vibrant Android Development] :
If you flash with the factory rom it should.

Yea I panic'ed at first myself too and thought I screwed up a xmas gift I got early. Then I found out from a really nice fella on the android forums who offered to help me over the phone that its pretty hard to brick these phones. I eventually researched a bit more on what to do to fix my problem on that site he gave me a link to and eventually fixed it myself. Now that I know what I am doing I am having a blast lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] rramirez942:
I did the nandroid restore method, and now my phone is stuck on the vibrant screen, I am so scared and about to cry, I got this phone as a present at the beginning of the school year and now I did this.

I would REALLY appreciate any and all help as I am freaking the f*^% out right now.

Please guys, I know you see these types of posts all the times but please help.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I got mine as a present too and thought mine was screwed up. Read my post in this thread. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly in the video. You could before hand just try reflashing one of the roms in the dropbox link before doing the first step but imo it would be a good idea and probably safer to just start from the begining like the video is walking you through exactly what to do. I have included 2 extra custom roms in the dropbox link so when you download it it should be around 900mb or so roughly.

There was a guy who was trying to help me on xmas eve night on the phone at 2am for about 3 hours. I learned a lot from him as it was my first time really rooting and what not. I eventually did a bit more research and fixed the problem on my own that I had which was somewhat similar to yours because my vibrant would not boot past the vibrant logo at one point and that was after I fixed the first issue. He also told me its pretty hard to brick these particular phones so don't worry too much about it.

EDIT: I just remembered the two custom roms in there are 'NOT' odin ready. You need to flash them with clockwork recovery. I will download and put eugenes froyo in there for you just give me a few minutes.

EDIT2 : Ok its ready for you and it will be around 950 to 1GB or so this time.
[Vibrant Android Development] scaremenga:
Thanks for this! My phone was all screwed up.. but it's fixed now, thanks to you. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] kobesabi:
I got this error below and this post resolves it.

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

I'm a Vibrant user. Google did not show much for Vibrant with this error so I just want to post it here in case anyone look for it later. I was testing Odin3 v1.7 with different JI6 kernel from Froyo (Nero 3). I probably did something wrong there. Anyway, it kept looping on the bootup to the green ClockWork recovery menu. So I tried to reinstall the Nero3 zip already sitting on my /sdcard file in attempt to go back to Froyo. It still had same error. So I tried to restore backup via Manage Backup and Restore menu. It still had the same error. I re-tried Nero 3 again...still same error. So I tried restore JI6 ROM instead...still same error. Ok, so I thought maybe I have to go back even further, so I tried Odin back to JFD as described above...voila...bootup went normal including that annoying Tmobile sound. Happy experimenting around on your SGS.
[Vibrant Android Development] coolairG1:
Thank yourself because you did good researching on your own. Lots of other people don't want to spend time to learn. They just want their phone to be fixed, quick. :-)
[Vibrant Android Development] bLaZe412:
Something must seriously be wrong with my phone. I've tried ODIN to stock sooooo many times, but my OS never loads. Idk why. It gets past the Vibrant screen, and the Galaxy S screen, but it stays black when the OS is usually supposed to load. Any ideas why?

hi , i need some help regarding these steps. i have been posting all over XDA but noone has replied yet , hoping you do. but umm , i follwed all the steps included in this tutorial but the step that its staying at is file analysis , what does this mean.. please help!!
[Vibrant Android Development] badboyz12:
me too let me know how that works out
[Vibrant Android Development] kobesabi:
I'm not sure what that means. I'm a take a guess here that it is doing integrity check of the file. If so, have you check to see if you have download 100% of the file? In other words take the md5 sum of the file you download make sure it match with the one OP at the MD5 line? If not matching, then you need to download again or your file has been somehow tampered on your machine (virus, spyware, etc...) from authentic source file. If you don't have anyway to check md5 go here and grab this from MS, install it, then run fciv whateverfilename

[Vibrant Android Development] mschaffer1077:
awesome

HECK YES!!! Thank you so much for the help... Was flashing from axura to macnut when I jacked up my phone... I was on my way to buying a new phone. Took me all day (12 hours) of researching, and downloading tons of different apps and pit files and trying several times. This works, and if you have any problems make sure you install keys for the device, when you connect the device it should say that the device was installed properly by windows. After that, if you have a problem, try a different USB port. Keep trying and trying, you will get it... I thought for sure my phone was a paper weight. All it would do is turn on and flash vibrant galaxy s screen. I'm all good now, and back to stock, time to get axura back on her.

Vibrant with Axura,

oh and Im using ODIN 3 v1.00 if that helps
[Vibrant Android Development] Chortles:
I had a software brick when ODIN seemed to stop working (after pressing Start, nothing past "cache.rfs") when I was trying to flash back to stock, and I had no other way to take the phone out of download mode besides removing the battery... fortunately, I was subsequently able to put it into download mode again, and the second attempt to flash back to stock worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] isoDUB:
hi just got a Vibrant today. the previous owner had Ginger R2 installed. this might be a stupid question, but i want to confirm before i do anything. my baseband is T959UVJL4. if i can't use this rom, can someone link me to a guide or backup or something that will get me back to stock unrooted?

also, will z4root work on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
Z4 root might work and it might not. You will need odin to get back to stock. If you need more links let me know.
[Vibrant Android Development] kobesabi:
It looks right so far, I don't know how good is Odin3 v1.00. It's old. Try the newer one ODIN 3 v1.7

Go here to download Odin 3 v1.7

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=832827

Follow the instruction on page 1 of this thread and it will help you get back to JFD (stock firmware)

For the PIT file you download from the link above, you have to save it then right click and choose extract. Then you can go in odin to select the file name s1_odin_20100512.pdit It should have .rar at the end of it after extraction.

It should look like this

Nandroid backup

[Vibrant Android Development] drew2000:
Flash back to stock from the storage card???

Ok I have a problem I have never had before so first I will list a few things

1) This is the same laptop I have always used to flash ROMs on my Vibrant with no problem. My laptop doesn't see my Vibrant. (my friends Vibrant is seen by my laptop his Vibrant is stock)

2) This is also the same Vibrant I have always flashed with the same laptop with no problem until now, Bionix V 1.2.1 ( I do not think it is related to the ROM but who knows I could be wrong)

3) I uninstalled the Samsung drivers and reinstalled the drivers the Samsung Tech linked me to and reboot my laptop and device then attached usb cable with debugging checked. ( I have also tried different usb cables and different PCs with no luck)

4) When I click on connect I get the warning about "not being able to use some apps on my device during the connection" I click "ok" but then the "mount" option pop up box doesn't come up and the android guy turns red.........my laptop never sees the device.

My questions is can I flash back to stock from my storage card, obviously I can not Odin back to stock because I can not make a connection with the usb cable. There has to be a way to fix this!! If I can not fix this then I better quit flashing ROMs because if I have a bad flash or ghost files causing FC's then I am screwed..............device is working fine right now on Bionix V 1.2.1 but.................future?

Any help is appreciated I feel like I am hanging out in the wind and it is just a matter of time before the device fails me and I will not be able to recover it.

Thanks

I need help. My vibrant is soft bricked. I can access 2e recovery but cannot get into CWM at all. I dont even have the update.zip in my internal. I can get into download mode but odin will not recognize my device. (believe me when I tell you Ive tried it all on multiple computers using different cables, usb slots, etc.). I actually fell asleep at my desk last night trying it all. My question is, can I somehow access the internal storage of my vibrant through my pc possibly ? In order to place the cwm update.zip in the root folder then enabling me to "reinstall packages" through 2e recovery ?

Any help is much appreciated. This is killing me.
[Vibrant Android Development] t1n0m3n:
Probably because you have not loaded the correct drivers.

Unzip these to your desktop, when Windows asks for drivers, point it to your desktop with subfolders included.

Edit: sorry man that is all I have. I have read your other thread...

that's cool man.

Yeah I have everything else working. All the correct drivers, etc. all tested on another device.

[Vibrant Android Development] AndroidOS.FTW:
When connecting to the computer in attempt to ODIN, does your phone still have the SIM inserted? I've read a few threads that suggested removing everything (SIM, SD card and battery) from the phone, then connecting the USB and inserting the battery while holding the volume buttons has got them in to download mode and remedied a failure to connect to ODIN when everything else checked out.
