maybe it was a corrupted file- download it again and then put onto card using your pc card reader. then try again..... there is a thread about what to do if you think you have bricked your device...under Dream Android Developement

I have to agree with the corupted file because you really are not able to brick the phone unless there was a failed install on the bootloader, at least from what I have seen and you would not be doing this already. I would re-download the NBH file and then you should be able to flash it back to RC29.

I've only had my phone a couple of weeks and I kept running into corrupt or missing files and some tutorials that were incomplete. I went here http://i.gizmodo.com/5146797/how-to-hack-android-for-multitouch-web-browsing-on-the-t+mobile-g1 and used every file they had / linked to. Now I not only have multitouch, but I am wifi tethering on 3g while I'm typing this. A couple things I found all caps for DREAIMG.NBH and it helps if you know a little dos/linux.

I have done all the proper step in formatting to FAT32. Now i cannot go anywhere but to try and update the DREAIMG.nbh or to the red green blue and white screen. PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO. I CAN'T GO WITHOUT A PHONE AND I DIDNT GET MY G1 THROUGH TMOBILE SO THEY WONT HELP ME OUT EITHER! IM DESPERATE, SOMEONE HAS GOTTA KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Just attempted this and it went terribly wrong
everything was okay until it tried pushing the logo to my sdcard (which failed with "permission denied") - it then said it couldn't copy the file from sdcard because it didn't exist.
I proceeded to unmount the sdcard from the phone and try it again which seemed to work. I shut the phone down and when I attempted to turn it back on it just remained off... I was able to get into download mode with odin 1-click and flash to stock (thank God).
- Serendipity 5.7
- I9000 .rar package
- logo_ATNT.jpg < 20K
was it the unmounting that did the trick? and can I just manually move the file onto /mnt/sdcard/ and edit the .bat file to skip the push?

Worked perfectly for me I love the nexus boot screen with my nexus boot animation Thank you connexion

I'm not sure but it sounds like you didn't make sure that busy box was installed. As for not turning back on, I'm surprised at that. I soft bricked a vibrant building the vibrant files and got out of it but that was my fault pulling the usb cable out accidentally before ODIN was done. The answer to your question is yes, you can just flash the param.lfs tar file, verify busy box apk is installed and so is busy box, then just manually move the file. The script is built for simplicity. I'm sorry you had trouble.

Also, you did let the phone try to boot for a sec right? In some cases when you don't have a boot screen after the flash you won't get a dirty pixel screen but it will be black for the 5-10 seconds it attempts to show you whats there. I just want to make sure you were not prematurely turning the phone off.

yeah, i attempted to turn back on twice (hold power for about 3-4 seconds, wait about 10) after it seemingly succeeded - I pulled battery in between jic.
the .bat file said busybox install failed because it was already installed... how else can I verify that bb is installed?
I'm going to try again once I get another ROM back on my phone because I really want to get at&t off my phone
thanks for your hard work and responses

this was going to be my boot image if anyone wants to use

That will install the application on the phone. But, before you finish the rest of the batch script, you must open the app on the phone and make sure it's installed. It will look and tell you. If it's not click install busybox. When it's done, continue with the batch script. I'd start fresh also btw. Reflash with ODIN on the tar package then launch the script.

[Q] I have a semi-bricked Vibrant and CANNOT FIX!!! HELP!!

I have been on this forum for 3 days going through many fixes for this problem.
NONE of them have worked.
I have been able to get into download mode, and the phone is recognized via com3 in odin.
I have re-flashed it with Eugenes no-brick version, then re-flashed it with tons of different stock and non-stock roms. It gets to various stages but does NOT work.
Any ideas or fixes will be a lifesaver!! Thanks in advance!

If you can still get into download mode and Odin recognizes your phone, flash it with these two files, they work:
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
DO NOT check the re-partition checkbox in odin.

why not repartition as long as you put pit file in pit field repartitoin like crazy if you like .
and repartition would be required if you coming from vodoo based kernel or if you ran anyother partiton than rfs .

Thanks for the quick response.
I tried these files again (I have tried them before) both with and without checking the re-partition box.
It boots then says Vibrant Samsung, then crashes. When I turn it back on it again crashes and turns itself off after the initial splash screen.
Any other ideas? It says that I passed in Odin

charge your phone ?

Hahaha ya I wish it was something so simple (maybe it is!) but it isn't that!

download this ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
put JFD in to PDA
also downlaod PIT from the same lik i gave you and seriously charge your phone , and when you odin with the files i gave you from the link check rapartition . check phone efs clear and f.reset time and auto reboot .

come back report resoults if not we help more .

also by any chance u didnt play with ROM MANAGER when your wibrant was working and didnt play with repartiton while there right ?

The same crashing loop has happened with the latest advice. I checked Phone efs clear, re-partition, auto-reboot, and f.reset.time.
I used tVhe T959UJFD PDA, and the 512 Pit.
This phone has been plugged in for days I really doubt the battery is dead.
It just is a constant loop of crashing,h whether at te "off battery" logo or the vibrant splash screen.
The ONLY flash that has given me any different results is the "eugene no brick froyo" which takes me to the Android Recovery screen but does not allow me actually select any of the options.
I am starting to think there may be a hardware issue.

To be completely honest, I got this phone from a friend who had bricked it. If I can get it working then I have a galaxy on the cheap.
On the downside I have no idea what he did to brick it, and he is not tech-savvy enough to know himself.
I come from an original G1 and Cliq, so this is a tad different then I am used to.

from my point of view your phone is fried (it happends) or you are not doing something right or someone is more tech savy to help more , did you pull battery out for at least a min and let it sit and try again to boot ...

Ohhh i know whats wrong with the phone ........if your friends gave it to you broken i think good advice is ,download a program that can repartition hard drive from windows like any program that can do format of anydrive from windows i recomend PARAGON PARTITION MANAGER , find your phone while in the program and u need some skills lol for it but find the phone and click delete partiton after you do that click apply 2. after deletion and applaying the actions click on the phones formated drive in the program i recomended you and click submenu wher you will see create partiton click FAT32 apply 3. click again on the disk you created and click format . 4 done , its easy just get to hang of it

Good advice, I will work on this and get back to you later tonight.
Thanks again!

sounds like your friend bricked his phone from ROM MANAGER by creating EXT4 partion in phones memmory not on SD thats why phone cant find a drive to install the system , happend to me by my own mistake but i got it to work so if that help you You have free vibrant so try hard if not u have paper weight toy

if u dont want the phone i buy back from you for 20 bucks so i cant smash it against the wall , always want it to do that

Just so you know when you get to this point you need to make sure you had ADB set up on your pc and then plug in the phone and do adb reboot and that will boot the phone up, then you can shut it down and go into DL and flash back to stock. if you read the directions from Eugene's no brick it stated you need to do a adb reboot to get it to work, so you can fix it if your getting to the recovery of that flash.

Ok so for the paragon partition manager it does not recognize my phone's harddrive. Unsure how to fix that as it is just a wizard type program.
I have been able to recognize the phone in ADB, although I cannot push any files to the phone (access denied) and have not been able to get SU access either as I am assuming he did not have root when he bricked it.
Any ideas?

you dont need to push any files to the phone with the adb, after you flash the eugene rom and it boots into recovery you just need to load up your adb and type this
adb reboot
thats it, and it should reboot your phone and if it does boot up fine then you can flash back to stock with odin from there.

Did you perchance happen to have installed the Team Whiskey DOW kernel on this phone?
Your symptoms match the symptoms of quite a few others.

[Q] Can't get into Download Mode after Odin Flash

First off - i've searched all day & stayed in IRC for over 40 mins without a hit so i'm looking for a little help.
I was upgrading to Froyo from a "stock" Continuum today using Odin. Everything seemed smooth - got a pass message & unplugged the usb cable. Now nothing (won't power up, etc) & i can't get into download mode.
I've tried all of the button/cable/battery combos that i could find. I have tried to flash a recovery using Odin & it gets stuck with the message "setup connection" in the message box.
I know my pc is seeing the phone (though you can't access the SD card or memory) & Odin is seeing it (yellow box) but i can't seem to get past this point or go back to the original.
Any help is appreciated.

Try pulling your battery and holding down the power button for a slow count of 20 to see if download mode comes back. After that, you should be good to flash stock ec07 and then recovery kernel. After that, whichever rom you choose. If that doesn't work, I'll try to get into IRC at some point tomorrow (today).

That didn't work either - screen is still blank & it won't progress in Odin. I'll jump back into IRC if anyone has any other ideas - thanks.

i dont know what to tell you continuums are very hard to brick and if u cant get into download mode then theres not that much u can do im afraid I was talking to adam outler about trying the unbrickable mod on a continuum but he does not have one to test. now he got the fascinate to work so id pm him and see if he'll let you send your phone to him

Hey TXwolf - i had to run out for a while - saw where you got on IRC earlier. Verizon is sending me a new phone, so i guess i'll just give up on saving this one...

If this is frenzifun, from android forums, this is what happened to him
He started a flash of stock ec07 with pit and repartition checked. It flashed params.ifs, boot, SBL and recovery. Then it removed itself (frenzifun, if you could post the flash log for others it might help them) from there, it wont go into dl mode. I was trying to help him in irc, but I'm out of options, other than making a jig. The only thing I can think of, that's causing this is the somehow the button mappings for vol down got erased. I'm not sure how it would, though. Especially since it should be a hardware mapping, independent of any software. And if that is the case, I don't know how to fix it.
If this isn't frenzifun, disregard everything I just said.

I am not sure who frenzifun is but this still doesn't sound good for my situation. What I can tell you is I was following directions to try an update my phone from 2.1 to 2.2 using Odin. I believed the process was completed, not realizing it was not and unplugged my phone from the computer. From that point on I have not been able to turn the phone on or get the the download screen. Here is the odd thing if I plug the phone into my computer Windows recognizes and Odin can see a COM port but I still can not get past the setup connection when following the directions to try a recover my phone.

Unlessvyou have a hookup, i doubt verizon will help. What I was gonnavtry o garuntees here) is
1. Try flashing in odin with pit, but leavevrepartition unchecked. That most likely won't work, but it's a shot.
2. Use the heimdall version ofvthe guide. I think that may have a better chance. I'll hang out in irc for a while tonight. Just in case.

Unbrick U8800 with Odin?

Hi there!
I have bricked my phone and it is in "download" mode.
Is there a way to "bring it back" with Odin?
Thanks!
M.

Did they repaired your phone for the second time? If not, what did they said? What did you do in the first place that you bricked it?
Sent from my Ideos X5

Still waitin'
Nobody called me, don't know what's happening with my phone.

People still doesn't read. I said that it is bricked! Cannot install anything on.
Brgds

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.

If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.

I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello;

I am just trying to say that sometimes it is better to no reply at all.
If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.

Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.
Thanks.

Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace

I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that). I opened up new thread with that few weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466953
This thread was supposed to answer my question at the top. And some guys did. I don't know how can thread be closed by the author. I've try to find it but with no success.
I appreciate people like to help. But if people don't know what i am asking why answering and asking questions that are answered in many threads before.
You see .. this thread should be as small as possible but ends with looong explanations which doesn't help at all
Peace.
