[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
I have never bricked it before, and I cannot go into download mode... I tried the the Vol up and vol down, didn't work, so I have been using ADB and just ****ed something up....

Now I need to know a way how I can revert back to stock, please and thank you, I will forever owe you one.

EDIT: Okay there is some confusion, to simplify it I will take it step by step:

I replaced an APK file from my system/apps and ever since it has been force closing process.android.acore, so I tried reflashing to stock, it froze while doing so now I have a picture of a caution sign, a phone and a computer coming up on my Vibrant, it will not start up.

It is hardware locked because I have never been able to access download mode via hardware keys(I have always been using ADB).

Is there any way I can reinstall stock? Or is my vibrant now destroyed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
what exactly were you doing when your phone stopped working? "just ****ed something up" makes it hard to pinpoint problems...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
I don't know I replaced my phone.apk with another one then ever since then it keeps saying process.android.acore has stopped working. It wouldn't stop showing up so I tried to reflash with Odin to stock but it froze and now it is bricked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
bumping a little bit, I have never bricked it before so I have 0 experience.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
What do you mean by froze? On what screen? How far can you get into booting?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
Alright let me start over with more detail:

I tried to replace the dialer so I replaced the phone.apk and then process.android.acore kept force closing so then I tried reflashing with stock, during that I don't know what happened but I think my phone froze, so then it shut off and turned back on, I only found a screen with a computer on it... I am assuming it is bricked.... I also know it is hardware locked because I tried going into debug mode with vol up and vol down, how can I unbrick it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Try moving the stock rom into the phones internal memory via adb. And flash it after a wipe.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sympala:
I am Also having this same problem

I Flashed my Vibrant through Rom Manager to Froyo 2.2 from eugene373 and sombionix.

After flashing to both ROMS for Froyo I wanted to revert back to 2.1.

I tried to put sombionix 1.3 eclair ROM back on to my phone using clockwork mod.

The flash was not successful it stopped in the middle but the phone came on with a Force close error of an android process.

I tried to reboot through adb reboot recovery with usb debugging enabled.

The phone shut down like it would reboot into recovery mode and now it gets stuck on boot at the samsung vibrant screen.

I tried to use ODIN to flash back to the stock Rom but the phone is recognized in ODIN but will not flash.

ODIN sees the phone but will not get past flash analysis. (Sat for 8 Hours)

I believe this is the definition of bricked. Please Help!!!!!

Can you get the phone in download mode?

Did you try this:

Pull battery

hold the volume up and down

reinsert the battery whiles still holding down the volume up n down

plug in usb cord

it should put you back in to DL mode

Open ODIN and unplug phone from PC and plug back in hopefully it will notice it then.

I am not sure if you can get in DL mode and it just wont let you do anything, but if you have already tried this my apologies.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Did you even read the OP? He is HARDWARE LOCKED ie BUTTONS DON'T WORK geeze people learn how to read!

And on topic, if you can't ADB and you are Hardware Locked, you are SOL. Try to get an exchange from T-Mobile since it appears that they regard being Hardware Locked as a defect.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smokexz:
Alright thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Your a dumb ass, His thing actually does work.. I was "hardware locked" like 5 times :) That DOES work, you sir are a DUMB ASS < Had to say it again

(Make sure that your USB is plugged into your computer & not your phone)

Remove the back cover & remove the battery along with your sim & micro SD

Hold the VOL Up & VOL Down

(Keep holding those buttons) Now insert the battery

Plug the usb into your phone.

It will put you back in to DL mode

Open ODIN and unplug phone from PC and plug back in hopefully it will notice it then.

^^Do that ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthmcty1:
Wow you come in and try to offer up help and you get some one that feels the need to police the "suggestions"........ Have a coke and a smile my friend...and relax!

Some people just make me laugh :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
There's no such thing as "was" hardware locked. A hardware locked phone will not let you enter Recovery / Download mode using the volume keys, even straight out of the box. The only way to get there is through ADB or Rom Manager.

Unfortunately so many people have messed their phones up and had trouble getting back into download / recovery that they think they are "Hardware Locked" when they don't really know what it even means.

My friend has a hardware locked phone. It is physically impossible to get into recovery using the keys, even using the procedure you posted. And his phone is BONE STOCK.

Do your research before you start calling someone a dumbass.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
I was just re-phrasing what YOU.. So you can really STFU. Thanks :D

Also I have had the death screen 5 times.. aka "Phone..!..Computer" and that method does work :) (The same thing he has)

Once again, you obviously are a dumbass :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
You obviously don't understand what hardware locked means. I understand what screen the OP has, and that you have had it as well. But if pressing buttons on your phone got you into Download mode, your vibrant must not be hardware locked. The OP stated that his phone is hardware locked, so clearly your method will not work for him.

Also, I'd like to thank you for attacking my intelligence. Very high-road of you. I'm not going to start telling you how smart I am and turn this into a ****-measuring contest. But I am going to ask that you stop belittling others to make yourself feel smarter. That's not what this forum is here for.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
I wasnt "Attacking your intelligence" however if you would like me to, I would.. And why the hell would you bring up dicks? Are you gay?

He is obviously not hardware locked.. I have had this exact same scenario

And ONCE again, did you notice I was only quoting you? Please don't turn this into a flame thread :)

If you actually tried the method we told you, then you would see it would work.

Im going to bed now, Bye
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Okay seriously? Calling someone a "dumb ass" is insulting their intelligence as it implies that they are either "as dumb as an ass" or that they are "dumb" as well as being an "ass". You may need to retake 4th grade English...

And speaking of 4th grade, you may want to grow up a bit. Asking me if I'm gay just because I used the word "****" is either extremely childish, or you are a homo-phobe. I would lean toward childish except that you have your location as Kansas, so maybe both?

How do you know he's not hardware locked? He said "I tried the the Vol up and vol down, didn't work, so I have been using ADB" in the first post. I take that to mean that even before he messed up, using volume keys wouldn't work so he had to use ADB. Sounds like a legitimate hardware lock to me!

I believe it's a bit too late for that, thanks to you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
You make NO since, You started talkin about measuring dicks..

Also, Kansas.. Hmm Kansas is the city now NOT like how it was on the "Wizards of Oz" (Witch I'm guessing your thinking since you said " I would lean toward childish except that you have your location as Kansas, so maybe both?")

You started flaming people to begin with.. That shows your maturity, And when I wanted to drop it you refused..

Yea, he said that he tried that.. But he didnt try the method WE said. Witch will work thank you very much :) (And it is also very different)

Can a MOD lock this thread?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
LOL isn't it past your bedtime?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoiryder:
This makes me laugh.. Why dont we just try to help and look for solution for this poor guy who think he brick his phone.. anyone has a solution? Fix?

thank you...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
Hey ignorant dude.. Your method doesn't work on hardware locked phones. I have a hardware locked vibrant myself. The volume keys DO NOT correctly modify the way the phone boots up. No matter what combination you use, USB or without USB plugged in, battery inserted while holding down whatever. None of them work on hardware locked devices.

T-Mobile DOES consider this a defect because their official troubleshooting procedures include doing a hard reset via the recovery (using the 3 button combo). If this function does not work and your phone won't boot up, then there is NO method to recover the phone except for JTAG (to my knowledge). Correct me if I'm wrong but please include your sources. I myself work @ T-Mobile.

edit: Hopefully before I get flamed by some troll I'm gonna go ahead and state the obvious:

You can obviously also use ODIN, but if you're hardware locked... do the math ;) There is no way into recovery OR download mode with a hardware locked phone (that won't boot into android). It's a fact. Accept it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
And you make no SINCE! lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthmcty1:
Ummmmm OP any updates??

Did anything we say here help you at all?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
I love when people only quote pieces & parts, It makes me laugh.. This guy started talking about Dicks < Like WTF??

Also I can confirm that that method does work, But there has been no update from the OP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
Dude...the word is SENSE, not "since." Sounds like "cents." You know...like those pennies you have in your bank account.

And Kansas is a STATE, not a city. Perhaps you should learn the difference between the two before you come here and give people technical advice on how to "fix" their phones.

That is all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
One, What are you talking about with the SENSE & SINCE, I said nothing about that.. I am talking about KANSAS CITY
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
Ummm........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
I meant Kansas is not the country anymore.

Edit 1: OP, Any more updates?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
Ya I only quoted the part that included your spelling error.

And sure you can confirm that method works.. ON YOUR NON HARDWARE LOCKED VIBRANT.

Get it through your thick head, that method only works for NON HARDWARE LOCKED VIBRANTS. The OP has a hardware locked vibrant meaning your method WILL NOT work for him. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it will work your the OP or anyone with a HW locked vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
Kansas never was a Country...

Seriously are your mom and your sister the same person? I swear your family tree must be a straight line.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Your a dumb ass I didnt say it was a country I said it isnt the country any more..

This is THE country:

This is A country :
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
You're*

It's a conjunction of "You are" not the possessive form of "You". You really should have stayed in school. I know you love your sister, but dropping out of Junior High to marry her and start a family probably wasn't a good idea.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gthmcty1:
Okay op hope you get this taken care of I had an issue this am upgrading to bionix 1.4 and I got to where the vibrant did not and would not respond with ANY key presses and I tried my suggestion to you and it would not respond to try and flash back to stock. So I was using odin but come to find out that I couldn't get it to recognize my phone so I downloaded odin 1.3 and flashed back too stock and was able to flash bionix.......so hopefully this may help.
