Hold the power button down for like 30 seconds or pull the battery. You will get this. I am helping someone with almost the exact same issue through PM's right now.

Edit:

Here are the instructions I gave in the PM to someone else. Make sure you have the latest version of Odin and the right files. Links are in my signature.

1. start Odin

2. plug usb cable into computer (not phone yet)

3. pull battery, sd card, and sim from phone

4. hold both volume up and down keys and don't let go

5. place usb cable in phone - while still holding volume keys

6. place battery back in phone - while still holding volume keys

7. watch for yellow triangle with android digger and "downloading" on screen

8. make sure you see yellow com(#) box in Odin.

9. check "re-partition" box

10. load .pit file by clicking PIT button

11. load .tar file by clicking PDA button

12. click "start"

13. wait for phone to reboot and your done.

14. uncheck "re-partition" for future Odin work to be safe

15. Have yourself a brain freeze and buy a slurpee.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
You didn't tell him to put the battery back in. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
Honestly, this horse has been beaten so dead here, that it should be taken to a new thread.

Do we really have to have another 250 battery life posts every time TW releases a new ROM?

Moon has a great guide, follow it...

If you have 3 widgets running, Twitter and Facebook syncing in the background, wifi and GPS on, you're going to drain battery...
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
LOL crap!!!

Next time i am just going to say... ***See Moons signature***
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
It instantly went to Download mode! Thanks!!

Now I will download the ODIN and STOCK to my work computer (only have it on my home computer now) and when it is finished I will ODIN back to stock and start over. Unless you think I should do something different.

I will let you all know if I have problems.

THANKS!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
I found a some problem with the browser, not only the stock browser but opera mobile shows the same problem too. Before when I use pinch zoom, after zooming, i can double tap to make the page/text to fit the screen. but it does not work now. After pinch zooming and double tap, it just zoom out again....

Please look up on this. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
I would go back to stock, and then reflash 4.2...

Make sure you have the right drivers as well...
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
I have the drivers and the one touch root here, but not ODIN yet. Odin and the needed files for STOCK are downloading now.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Good deal... Let me know if ya need anything else...
[Vibrant Android Development] december.underground:
Thank you TW for all your work its much appreciated, just loaded 4.2 last night and had the same issue with touch wiz force closing every time I edit the touch wiz. Besides that its running smooth have had no major issues, I do have one request I love the the HTC_IME keyboard that's included but it lacks the ability to add words to your user dictionary from the menu like the original did that would be my only request.
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
Hey Som,

Can this be used with v3? I'm in the process of backing everything up in preparation of loading v4.2, but some things on my SD are inaccessible.

Can I flash this against v3 so I can easily copy my files, or is it ROM/Kernel dependent?

Thanks,

G
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
where can I find a flashable JI6 through ODIN?

I got the zip but, wheres the odin version? thanks.

Or do I rename it?

By the way mine wont boot past vibrant screen either so I got to flash this... Thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
LOL, that will work until I change my sig again. I think I change it twice a day. But, I think I have some useful stuff in it now that I will leave until I at have my own post where I can keep the file updated more regularly. Not sure I want to go to all the trouble though since this seems to work good enough.

And yes, make sure you have the correct drivers loaded on your pc before you start with step 1. I listed.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
**Sigh**

I give up!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just use the JFD stock file from the link in my sig. It will work just fine for you.

Edit: "**Sigh**" that was funny. But, I feel ya.
[Vibrant Android Development] Meanrogue:
You sir, are my hero. Much appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
cool Ill give it a whirl..
[Vibrant Android Development] nonmindo:
I fell victim to the 1/10 users experiencing internal SD wipe, yea it sucks, but I read the warning and did it anyway, so my fault.... my question tho is what is the point of going to JFD using odin and all the other steps they recommend if it happens... does it magically recover my data or does it fix something crucial in the back end?
[Vibrant Android Development] r3skyline:
which one did you flash?

all the ones i flash end up just freezing my phone after it boots up. i can open like one app, then it just freezes :(
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Start reading back about 10-20 pages where they start talking about this. This exact question has already been asked and answered.
[Vibrant Android Development] nonmindo:
Also, forgot to mention, I can't uninstall / upgrade titanium....I tried using astro but was unsuccessful, any way to do this from the phone without needing a desktop to run adb?
[Vibrant Android Development] Vjarndt:
Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
*Slaps himself*

Magic has nothing to do with it...
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
DAMN!!! i skipped step 15.. oh well.. i'll go and do it all over!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Use paid version of root explorer and remove the titanium backup apk from system/app and reboot your phone. Then install the titanium backup you want. Paid is best! Not Warez!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
That would have made sense if it wasn't the last step. lol
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Odd, i was able to upgade without an issue... It took forever and a day, but it did work...
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
Getting a brain freeze with a Slurpee is the most IMPORTANT step. Does it have to be a certain flavor though? I'm kinda partial to the cherry/berry flavors. You can keep your MtDew, and Coke flavors to yourself.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just in case you didn't get the memo: Click here
[Vibrant Android Development] r3skyline:
woooot

finally got a stable system going. lol.

obsidian v4.2 + A12 + OC @ 1.2 = 1800+

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] los0325:
Still no fix for sending nasty pictures to my teacher yet, I need this to pass this class, any ideas or ways to send picture mail
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
I have ODIN'd to stock a number of times. I believe it helps to keep my phone clean with all of the flashing I do, however, right now I am doing it again and it has not moved from 'file analysis...' in several minutes. In the past i have always had my SIM and SD cards in the phone. Because of the soft brick, I removed them to get into download mode. Can ODIN work with out them?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
I was just looking back, this also happens to me... If i select GSM i am good, if i have any other selection clicked, my data drops and i cant get it back on...

Som... Any thoughts?

Or well anyone else with thoughts?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Yes... Odin doesnt need your SIM or SD card... I actually wouldnt leave them in...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
and to finish answering your question, if it doesn't finish in a timely manner, start over.
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
How long should I leave ODIN running on 'file analysis...'? It has never taken more than a minute or two and I am on near ten minutes. How could I stop it if I needed to? No bottons are active for me to stop it. I HATE BEING A NOOB!
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Pull the battery, try again...
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Just close Odin and start from step one again. Pull battery etc.

Or, what she said...I mean he said... post before mine. lol

I'm starting to feel some competition for answering questions on here Pedamann.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
LOL... My bad, i will shut up and and try to figure out my data connection issue...
[Vibrant Android Development] mikaeldalc:
Ill wait for 1.5

I think ill wait for the next update. 4.2 doesn't seem to do much and i dont want to have to re-install all my apps ... just a note, when i go to n4g.com with this ROM, it takes FOREVER!!! for the page to load to the point where i can scroll freely.
[Vibrant Android Development] nonmindo:
TYVM, woulda been a pain to use search from xda app, answered my question
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Oh, don't shut up. We need more people to help fend off the noobs. I can't do it alone. Don't know how long I'll last if I do.
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
Don't you DARE shut-up! You and Moon are helping me and others that were too scared to do anything through this problem. Once I am set, I need to find out what the HELL happened!?

I followed the directions to a 'T' but soft bricked. Maybe my lagfix was too much, maybe I didn't have enough open DB memory, maybe a previous lagfix wasn't disabled properly, maybe I am destined to be a worthless NOOB 4-ever!

You two and the others....KEEP up the good work!
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yes, Bovine, you happy cow you. You do exist now. Actually, you exist more than the other 4 people who have bought me slurpees. Thanks man. You are on my "be nice to" list now. :p

Edit: I posted that in the wrong tab. meant that to be a pm. oh well, it's here now. Too many xda tabs open in firefox.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Okay how about i just shut up for now? LOL... This data issue is pissing me off... GSM only!!! CRAP... I need to flash the stock kernel for 2.2 and see what happens...

I will be back to supporting the noobs shortly...
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
personally i am using jfs advanced . its better on battery than ext4 but still fast. no loops thats just well overkill. and asking for problems. in short its a way to use ext2 since there is no method to use ext2 advanced. please try it. but beware there are still issues with jfs. ext4 is more stable but eats battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
try using ext4 advanced instead of jfs, see if that fixes your network. its a dbdata issue. maybe just change dbdata to ext4 and keep the battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] Mi|enko:
Anybody know of a fix fire the bitpool? A2DP is kind of distorted. I know this is an inherent Android problem, but I'd love to see Tesm Whiskey resolve it. It's been fixed with CM6.1, so I'm poetry sure TW could resolve out as well.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Ohhh i am going to try it all i am sure...
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
I am honored sir! Have a Slurpee and ruminate a bit. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
btw you must go back to rfs before changing lagfix
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Ah yes...that makes sense. This is a good thing to remember. Thanks for that.
[Vibrant Android Development] dukei:
Obsidian v4.2 totally prevents phone from sleeping. Going to battery history menu (*#*#4636#*#*) shows Running 100%... Reboot and closing applications doesn't help.

V3 had not such a problem. I am on ULF kernel.

Anyone has the same problem?
[Vibrant Android Development] brie987:
+1 for this.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
EDIT: I removed Overkill JFS... And my Data came right back (GSM/WCDMA auto mode)... I am going to run my phone as is to ensure my data doesnt randomly drop again... If it doesnt, well then it looks like it was the lagfix and the dbdata issue...
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
For some reasons i'm stuck with ODIN again...

last nite I flashed 4.2 with ULF. After applying ULF, i foudn there's too many problems so i flash again to 4.2 with stock kernel. That's when the problem arise. It says flash complete but when I boot it, it got stuck on Vibrant screen.

So I decided to flash in ODIN to stock JFD. But I'm not sure why it's not working now.

<ID:0/010> Added!!

<ID:0/010> Odin v.3 engine (ID:10)..

<ID:0/010> File analysis..

<ID:0/010> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/010> cache.rfs

it got stuck here.. not doing anything. the next should be modem.bin isnt it? It's not working! Please help!
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
try this

data=jfs

cache=jfs

dbdata=ext4

no loops or binds

ext4 is more stable than jfs(the problem isnt jfs its the tools that make it jfs) however jfs is fine on data and cache and doesnt kill battery like ext4 so basically you get speed and stability btw to those using binds, dont if you have alot of apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Moon? LOL..

Sounds like you have a bad download...

I would pull the battery, and try again... If it fails again, redownload the stock files and start over...

Ohhhh how fancy! I am a "Senior Member" now! If i didnt see noobs with that title... Id feel special =)
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
I'm sure I do not have a bad download because I flash with it successfully last nite. What's going on?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Yes, feel free to flash the fix

what modem? I am using JFS Overkill and have been since I built the kernel, and not a single data issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
Did u install voodoo from the new cwm??
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Well i dont know whats going on, thats why you and i are here isnt it =)

Odin isnt always sweet and fuzzy... Did you pull the battery and try it again?

IF the download is good... And the drivers are good... Then reboot your PC... Try again...
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
JI2 i am sure...

I didnt flash any other modem then what came with the 4.2 flash zip
[Vibrant Android Development] CzarDestructo:
+1

Please, Please, Please.

Having to physically plug my phone into my car 2 times a day is grating me. I almost returned the phone because of this but thought the community would have a fix for it quickly so I stuck with it. A2DP worked perfectly on my G1.

Are folks interested in pooling together a bounty for this fix?
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
AS long as I can go in Download Mode, it's not totally BRICK isnt it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Thanks for the setup... I am going to give it a go right now... I will report back...
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Correct... Download = Not a total brick
[Vibrant Android Development] djgromit:
Oh man...pretty/poetry...I can NOT, for the life of me, get Swype to spell out pretty without it converting to poetry...I wish Swype prioritized words that you use more...

Sorry, just a personal LOL on your autocomplete...
[Vibrant Android Development] lawalty:
I have never ever known this phone to be TOTALLY bricked. Believe me. I've gotten my phone so messed up, I thought I would need to call T-Mobile. But, after searching XDA and YouTube, I found out almost every solution to almost anything. Worst case scenario, can't get into 'download mode', which I NEVER heard of.

If you can get into "download mode", your phone isn't TRULY bricked.

IF Odin isn't working, then re-download the PIT & TAR file (on a good connection), and download the latest Odin.
[Vibrant Android Development] yvliew:
got it to work already. ODIN it's so simple yet so complicated! trust me!!
[Vibrant Android Development] ilaf0106:
Which exact kernel are you using?
[Vibrant Android Development] xxprowler:
hi,

i've installed obsidian v3 and the phone's battery worked great(i didn’t delete the battery's statistics) and after one or two charges, i'm now facing a a battery that runs out very fast.

i'm seeing some weird things inside the battery stats in settings.

here are a few of them:

1. the phone says it's disconnected from charger for 4 hours and 57 minutes.

2. cell standby says that it's on 9 hours and 54 minutes.

3. cell standby says 50% of the time the phone was without signal(i always have 3-4 bars in my house, so i don’t understand why it says half of the time it was without signal)

4. wifi says it's usage was 2 hours(i've set wifi to turn off when screen turns off)

that's it, so anyone has a clue why does this happen after two days ?

by the way i've charged the phone to 100% and then deleted the batterystats.bin file, but it didn't help.

thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
@ Krylon

Hey, I don't mean to fight with you on this, but I'm about to steal your lunch money.

You distilled the confidence in me to try the mount fix again.

My setup:

windows 7 ultimate 64bit (tried on desktop last night and laptop today. Same OS)

samsung drivers loaded

Started with Odin to JFD both times, and then flashed Obsidian v4.2 with stock kernel. NO ULF.

Phone was up and running fine both time, this time for 15 hours or so.

Redownloaded the mount fix again today.

Flashed it through CWR and rebooted.

As soon as I mount, I only see the internal SD on my computer and can no longer see external card on my pd or on my phone when I unmount.

Rebooted both, several times. Each time, after the phone reboot, I could see external sd files again, but as soon as I would mount, it would not show the drive on the pc and would have an empty external_SD folder on the phone again. That is, until I reboot the phone again.

So, for me, this mount fix did not fix the issue.

Care to defend your lunch money?

Edit: If I don't hear from you by tonight, I'll redownload the whole rom with the fix included and see if that works. I would rather not, but at least I'll have your lunch money. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] ilaf0106:
How's your battery life? Will I be able to flash one of eugenes kernel over 4.2 ulf kernel? Particularly A12?
[Vibrant Android Development] established:
Keeps tellin me the package isnt signed
[Vibrant Android Development] eguie22:
What OC kernel works best with V4.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
I installed Obsidian V4.2 and converted everything to Ext4 successfully. With Obsidian V3, I could finally watch the movie I bought from MediaHub and thought it was a really cool feature in case I'm really bored sometime and want to watch a new movie. I figured that since I can no longer successfully view them on this version of Obsidian, I would push the divx.apk and the mediahub.apk over from V3 and see if that helped. I still get just a black screen with the progress bar of the movie ticking away as if it's playing. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
Jesus, this rom is eating battery like no other. No lag fix applied (cause I was getting horrible battery life with JFS advanced) and it lost 50% in 8 hours of idle.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
DAMN! This is the first time I'm experiencing great battery life after wiping battery stats. I thought my battery was draining like crazy, but not bad imo.. up to 17 hours of battery life right now at 21% The only problem I have is.. it drains like crazy when I put it in sleep mode.. just trying to figure out what I can do to keep it from draining while I sleep time to time. But overall this rom is the best out by far!
[Vibrant Android Development] dgsmith90:
I am getting pretty decent battery life with this rom. Today I used the heck out of it and normally would have had to charge it after about 6 hours with the usage I was putting on it. I decided to charge it after the same 6 hours because I was home, near my charger and it was down to about 40%. I also converted everything to Ext4.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
you guys need to read from the link in my signature. Also, if you have wifi on while you sleep, make sure to go into wifi "advanced" settings and make sure it sleeps when you do. Default is set to never sleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
LOL I'll defend.

The fix does work. You will see both internal and external, as well as a cdrom(thats a i9k thing)

I've gotten it to work by pushing the file to /system/etc/ as well as replacing the file within the rom zip and flashing the rom.

Others have verified it works as well.

As for battery life, yes, it drains a little faster than our previous roms.

1. BLN

2. ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA...and in case you haven't heard, this kernel is ALPHA!

3. It's not fully optimized yet.

4. It's alpha

Weds I was in the ER and ICU with my wife all morning and day. Unplugged at 2am, 100% charge. I used the phone non-stop from 3a to about 3p when it finally died. thats 12 hours of HEAVY use
[Vibrant Android Development] gberrios123:
thanks, for me is the best...
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Thanks for the tip moon! Im hoping my battery life will be better when its on idle. Haha

Edit: can't seem to find "advanced" settings under wifi.
[Vibrant Android Development] anthonys2r:
I caught a post on that a while back and changed it to never when plugged in prior to disconnecting the power. On top of that, I never use wifi.
[Vibrant Android Development] srqt:
4.2 is by far the best performing rom I have flashed to date. The battery seems to be draining much faster than any previous rom though and that is my only complaint.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Ok, I'll drop the vold file in when I get home. Can't do it now that I am at work, but I don't know why it wouldn't work via CWR. Before I did it, I would see both drives pop up, one memory card, and one cd drive. Now, I only get one memory card and no second or third drive as you suggest I would see on my pc.

I just used root explorer to verify that the vold file was where it should be and it's also the exact right size it should be compared with the one in the zip.

Anyway, I'll let you keep your lunch money for now. But if I flash the updated rom tonight and still no go, I'm gonna hunt you down and take it. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Lol nvm I found the settings!
[Vibrant Android Development] Scooby999:
What version is the modem that is loaded on Obsidian V4.2?
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
JI2 i believe...
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
only thing that was wrong with it was there was a number issue. I can pm you the change so you can verify
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
JK2 is the modem
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
NICE catch on the typo!

My bad on the typo
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yeah, that would be great. Like I said, I have seen a change in behavior since flashing the fix, but it was not the desired change. I wonder what would happen if I plugged into my wife's computer with xp. I'll have to check that. Might have something to do with the OS on my laptop and desktop. I'll watch for the pm.
[Vibrant Android Development] desultory677:
I'm using xp and have the same behavior as moon on the mounting of external sd.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Yea, I am not the only freak of nature.:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] xxprowler:
i'm lost here, can anyone help :( ?
[Vibrant Android Development] radekmz:
Can someone help me? I have stock ROM, rooted. I installed the ROM Manager (free version), I have downloaded ROM 4.2 and put it on the sd card. I click "Reboot into Recovery" in the ROM Manager. I can't find the "install from zip" mode. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks
