If You try to partition with Rom manager it partitions the internal sd and you will brick your phone. Your screen will be black with only the capacative buttons glowing. This brick is possibly the more annoying ones where you have to flash your phone twice. If you have this problem don't panic like i did.
*REMOVING EXTERNAL SD CARD MIGHT IMPROVE ODIN CHANCES OF WORKING*(Thanks Hoey2011 for mentioning this)
Step 1: Download all files from this thread

PUt them in a safe spot you will need them for later.
Step 2: Download files from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
Step 3: HAVE ODIN OPENED FIRST!!(This helped it detect my phone for some reason)Get phone into download mode. The easiest way to do this is pull out battery from phone. Then plug phone into usb connected to computer it will have the battery sign. Hold volume keys and power button when the screen goes black let go of power button. You will be in download mode if Odin doesn't detect it unplug usb and replug it.
Step 4: Once Odin has recognized your phone set the pit file and .tar file FROM EUGENE'S 2.2 THREAD. NOT THE FIRST LINK THE SECOND LINK. Then click start. And follow all the directions on his thread.
Step 5: Once you have flashed that rom you put your phone in download mode again and set up the pit and .tar file for Stock 2.1. After you finish flashing it your phone should be saved!
Thanks to Eugene373, justanothercrowd and anomalous3(for being patient and helping me out when I had this problem) And to anyone else that helped me solve this problem.
Thanx for being the guinea pig. Glad you got it back working.
Yea It was a ***** tho. Spent at least 4 hrs fixing it. But glad its working
Wow that sucks well thanks for the write up.
I was in the same boat as you and as I was downloading 2.2 to try I found your thread. Works like a charm! Thanks for the info on this. I guess I shouldn't read threads backwards from now on, huh?
ok so I've been following this method, and got eugene's 2.2 loaded up correctly, and rebooted back into download mode. The 2.2 files loaded just fine through odin, but now that I'm flashing 2.1, it seems hung on the cache.rfs.
I am gonna go smoke a blunt or two and come back and see how it's progressed, but this hang is the same issue I had before, on my windows 7 64bit machine. I figured it was a compatibility problem so I'm using my old busted vista machine. I've gotten further on the vista laptop than the W7 one, but I'm still hung.
How long should the 2nd loadup take??
I am almost at my wits end with this stupid mistake I made and hope is such a far stretch
ok, so i continued my use of the search tool here at xda and found my answer
I had my MicroSD card in my phone, hadn't even thought to remove it. I have moved past the cache.rfs file and am now waiting to see the results....
IT WORKED OMG OMG OMG
Xda forums almost ruined my phone, then brought it back from the dead
god i love equlibrium
Good info thanks for posting it, but one thing I would like to point out and I am not alone in feeling this way people are throwing the.word brick around and far to casually. You did not brick your phone by partitioning it the proof is that you fixed your phone. Bricking a phone is wheb youbrender the phone usless as a brick when it is totally broken and unfixable. I dont mean to nitpick i just hate seeing everyone that makes a mistake in anything crying wolf and claiming to have bricked. But my rant aside thanks for the very usefull info you mightvwanna pass it on to koush so he can fix it.

I did exactly this and I was so frustrated that I sent my phone back to tmobile and just purchased a new one. I don't know about yall but if there are two storage points (internal and external) there should be an option for both in default recovery because when I tried to partition the external sd card *in which i was able to execute on my nexus one* it was very easy but because I use clockwork recovery and did a rom backup, i guess the backup zip wasn't safe because I received the same results as you. There should be 2 options to choose from that says *internal storage, External SD Card* why make things difficult? lol
The manufacturers need to be a little more intuitive.
*this is my opinion*

Ah crap, that's right, /sdcard is mapped to the *internal* sd card on the phone, and that's what is partitioned. I'll disable partitioning on the phone (external SD card is not accessible in recovery).

I haven't tried partitioning, but the card's /dev/block/mmcblk1p* entries are there and I can mount them. That's how the dc2ext hack works. It mounts /sd-ext and /data to do the copies and it does it in recovery.

I have had serious issues with Odin hanging on my WIn 7 32bit system. However, I think I was actually doing it wrong. I was booting my phone to download mode then plugging it in to my computer. However, I have had continued success (tried a bunch last night) by doing this:
Open Odin, take out the battery, plug in USB cord to phone and computer, hold vol up+down, put in battery. Whenever I booted into Download Mode this way, Odin worked perfect every time. Turns out after cursing my computer it was user error, whoops .

turns out, the system wasn't the finicky piece of equipment, it was the phone and the odin software. I inadvertently left the sd card in the phone, the external one, and that was causing my hangs. Two more tries after pulling the sd card, I had success and was back to my phone again

YEa I guessed as much thats why I was trying not to "flame" and to be informative you are a victim of exactly what I am talking about. Because so many people throw around the word brick anytime anything goes wrong not only is it losing its meaning but people are also getting confused.
This does work, it took me about 7 hours last night to fix it.
I will say if it does not work then keep trying.
My flash kept freezing on the froyo rom and would not finish, so I actually had to try and flash the full captivate stock rom (search the captivate forum) it froze but afterwords it let me go throught the whole flash process with Eugenes 2.2 rom, then flashed right back to 2.1 no prob.
I will also say that if you are on a x64 system then go find a x86 (32 bit) system. I dont know why but it just works better.
So if it doesnt work then do this:
1. Make sure you are on a 32 bit system.
2. Flash a Full Rom from the Captivate forum. (It has a more to it I believe, changes the system maybe?)
3. If it freezes that is ok. Flash the 2.2 rom. (might need to do it a couple times)
4. After successful flash then go to stock.
This needs a sticky!!!!!!!!!
I just did this. Wish I would have seen this thread first!
I'm having a really hard time getting to download mode. Read all the threads I could find on it.

After fighting with it I found out this worked best for me:
Battery out
Plug in USB cord to the phone and PC
Hold Vol up and down
Put the battery in
Phone should boot right into download mode.
Also, I found you should have Odin open FIRST before you do this. If I didn't I would have constant issues with Odin hanging.

also, i've read people discussing newer models being blocked from download...well like i said i've done this with this phone before but i got a new SIM last week and this is the first attempt with the new SIM???? maybe a coincidence...
take battery out, plug in usb to pc, hold vol up n down, replace battery, boom download mode.

yes(but i'm over saturated right now, i might have missed something) ...i'm dead in the water, i can't get to the point of anything seeing my device...my computer won't see it except as unknown usb device, no partitions show up, adb doesn't recognize it in any way...maybe i'm a [email protected], but i don't see anyway to flash it without at least getting in to download mode, or somehow pushing a .zip at the sd for a recovery??? technically figuring out that stuff is beyond my remaining brain cells...this seems like a dicey way for the phone to rely on when restoring to factory.... it would be nice to have the device look at All available partitions, internal/removable, for a recovery system or have an altogether different sd in the phone for a -R dedicated recovery volume....don't know, i'm a noob at this android stuff sooo....
Hello everyone!
I hope this is not old news but it seems i've made a discovery here.
I my GT-I9000M from bell was running Darky 7.0 with lagfix when my internal memory had been corrupted. (phone started to loop at boot)
I then went back to 2.2 stock rom from bell (froyo.I9000UGJL2) with odin and was stuck with the 3e recovery.
I wanted to use adb (first time with adb and powershell so started from skratch) to try some manipulations but while came back to stock 2.2 I've unrooted my phone... in short i wasn't able to use su command anymore...
I've found a post of someone that has made a custom ROM that can be flashed via ODIN (XXJP3 (Froyo) pre-rooted / insecure boot / ClockworkMod recovery) this is available here: http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/galaxys/JP3.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod.zip
When I've extraxted the files, one of them was corrupted. So I've only used the file I9000XXJP3-PDA.rooted.insecure.clockworkmod in the PDA section and the 512.pit that came with it.
I'VE BEEN SCARED AS HELL AS THIS HAD REMOVED MY RECOVERY/DOWNLOAD MODE!!!!!
When I've started the phone, I got the GT-I9000M boot logo then the animated logo....Then windows made this little sound saying something just connected. In the "computer" section I was able to see (but can't acces) the 2 cards.
I then tried something in adb.
I've type
adb shell
reboot download (PHONE REBOOTED AND WAS IN DOWNLOAD MODE)
BEST OF ALL:
adb shell
reboot recovery (phone rebooted in ClockWorkMod)
So now I got root once again without need of the internal or external memory!!!!
Now i'm gonna see if this can help to FIX MY INTERNAL MEMORY SO I CAN BOOT INTO ANDROID!!!
If anyone can contribute to help me recover from my internal sd corruption by posting here a clear answer (NO LINK TO AN OTHER POST) i'll be very happy
Flash another kernal that has CWM and set everything back to RFS. Format the internal SD card and try and boot again. If you brick your phone for real im not responsible xD
1:Flash a other kernel with clockworkmod
2:do undo to ALL RFS at lagfix options.
3:format your internal SD
4:reboot and hope it works.
oh damn he was faster.... i was eating sorry for nuub post..

I rooted my phone earlier today. Was looking into flashing a new rom.
Went with a dj05 rom, downloaded it, and the radio. All flashed fine. Went to reboot after and do the kernal and now it wont boot into recovery. (has a screen that comes up with a cell phone and computer with a triangle in between.
It will boot into download mode, but odin isn't recognizing my phone as being plugged in.
It was the superclean dj05 rom i flashed. any help would be greatly appreciated...
Are you sure that you have the correct phone drivers installed? Odin has never been the most well-written and bug free of programs, but it has been invaluable all things considered. Have you been able to use Odin in the past?
If you are absolutely sure it doesn't work, I suggest downloading and figuring out to use Heimdall, as it will use completely new USB drivers and do pretty much the same thing as Odin.
I also helped someone who had Odin not recognize the phone and nothing I suggested would help him. Eventually someone came up with the idea of buying a USB controller PCI card, and miraculously that worked. It shouldn't have to be that way, but sometimes computers like to fart in your face like that
Also, make sure you have the battery out when plugging in and going into download mode. Odin doesn't like batteries.
I've seen many people on this forum have luck with trying different USB ports on their PCs when this happens. For some reason ODIN is finicky with some USB ports, even when those same ports work fine for mounting the SD card and other things.

Have you had a bad experience? I am the type of person that doesn't use any specific arrangement for download and recovery mode... but I kept lousy notes. I can only confirm it never has hurt me to try with the battery in and remove it if there is a problem.
I mean no offense and admit it is good practice; I'm just curious how this detail sorts into rumor/prejudice/fact in the spirit of raised eyebrows.

I haven't heard it cause any kind of damage if that's what you mean but Odin just plain wont see my phone if the battery is in it sometimes. If I unplug the USB and remove the battery I can plug it back in and it works. Odin is just crazy like that.
I can't even get my phone to go into download mode when there's no battery in. Plugged in via USB and everything- no response. I got to the screen once, and used Odin to put CWM from the EB01 walkthrough thread on there, but Rom Manager won't recognize that, OR that I have the SD card in mount mode. Help please? Lol.
UPDATE: Fixed it. Figured out what I was doin' wrong to get into Manual Download and just redid everything, and it worked out.

The battery thing and odin is completely untrue. At least for me. Because whenever I need to flash something with odin my battery is in every time. So the whole odin not liking batteries seems like a myth to me.

Agree.... I have option to reboot into Download mode via the power button and I dont take my battery out, still works fine.
Take the battery out, hold down the volume down button, then plug the usb cable in (other end of the usb cable should be plugged into the computer.) This is the correct way to get to "download mode" and use Odin. Also, what someone said about drivers is also something to consider. But after flashing a rom, I figured you'd have done all this at least once!
Do you have the correct version of clockwordmod? What about the modem version? This should be sorted out before flashing...
disregard this
Hi all, i just recently got a vibrant, and i rooted using superoneclick, and now after installing rom manager and flashing clockwork recovery, every time i boot into recovery it gives me default android recovery, and not clockwork mod. what is wrong?

Make sure you have the update.zip installed by Rom Manager in the root of your sd card and hit re-install packages. That should get you into clockwork recovery.

Well i went to that except i have one problem and i cannot post there due to being under 10 posts, but they all talk about a "keys" file, but i cant see it in any of the files in the op

Yup, got it, now im gonna go flash bionix -v , thanks for the help!
bionix hard-bricked my phone and now i cant get into download mode even with no boot guide
What is it doing? With ODIN open and phone plugged in to your pc do you see it adding a COM port? Im gonna take a stab and say you didn't let Linda convert your filesystem completely and reboot itself maybe...
No com port no nothing, the phone itself will not power on into anything using any method
any idea what you did right before it wouldn't come on? Did you have a lagfix other then voodoo?? Like OCLF??
Try this method....
Pull everything out of your phone..battery, sim, sdcard
Open ODIN on your PC
Plug the USB into your PC
Hold down ONLY the Volume Keys (both of them)
Plug the USB into your phone...still holding the keys
With your other hand put the battery in..
Should be a minor delay and then you should see the Download mode screen (Digging Android robot)
Try it a few times
that is what i have been doing for past 15 minutes, its too late now, im returning it.
Man..I know its frustrating...I ve been there quite a few times myself..This last time I had a complete No Power brick...no nothing..dead...nada... Called em up, had a replacement sent, but before it got here, I got the phone back on and I actually returned the replacement back to them and kept my old one...it just keeps coming back to life...
So if you ordered a replacement..theres no harm in playing with your current one to try to get it back working is there??
I didnt order a replacement, i took it back to the store, and wow, this is ridiculous, the new one has the problem with the back and menu buttons where they choose when they want to work and not, i liked my desire z so much better except that i was forced into getting rid of it because people could never hear me on calls.

Here are instructions i have followed an no luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043892
Ok I think you got some extra cache or some other piece of data that did not get wiped. either way, do this in this sequence and you should be ok
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
It is #7 that is important when it reboots into recovery after froyo that does not brick then pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash the JFD, This will clear everything out and put you back into stock
Good luck
Got it started
I got it booted though a very hard process an now i cant get my sd card to mount it says when i go into anything media related it says "Your phone does not have a SD card inserted" an Externel dont mount either

flash regular jfd and TICK REPARTITION ( ICS/CM7/CM9 change the partition layout and you need to flash correct partition table for stock rom to work )
back in bussiness.

Hey Jason. I'm in the exact situation you're in. Loaded Passion for about 1 week, got the encryption screen and was forced to reset. Now my SD cards (internal and external) won't load. Have you found a work around for it yet? Cheers Mate.
nope nothing
either of you find a solution? Im having same issue
In the same boat
I am in the same boat. I was using the Euphoria ROM. Yesterday things slowed down on the phone. I rebooted a few times and it crashed. The last couple of times it told me about the encrypted data. That was when I tried to take it back to stock and it won't do anything now other than boot to the vibrant logo and shutdown. Searching for a way to odin a ROM/Kernel that has a CWM recovery so I can go in and manually format the SDcard.
Do what I did, sell it to someone as a wifi hotspot and buy yourself a hercules. You'll never look back

Webstas- Just out of curiousity, were you trying to mount your phone to your computer while on ICs when this happened? I have a theory that I believe I know why this is happening. Just need you to see if you remember a few weeks ago and if you had any problems mounting to your PC and then your next reboot you got the Ecnryption Error.

no i got up an took a shower then came back it gave me an encryption error then i odin back an more trouble odined a couple more times an now it boot loop an also wont start with eugenes froyo
I know it has been awhile but think back. Were you mounted to your PC at anytime between your last reboot and the Encryption Error? Doesn't have to be right before, the error gets throw on your "next" reboot. And as you know, reboots can happen manually or for something as simple as wrong UV settings.
Looking back in this thread, I saw that you got it to boot up. See if you can do that again and then mount your External via ADB and you should to push the proper commands then. Pretty much your internal is hosed, but me and a few others are working on that too.
Can't get it to boot it makes it to Vibrant screen an shut off an on Eugene"s froyo it gives me a couple of errors an I just can't get it to start anymore it there anyone who has encountered this an got it fixed like I really need this fix I am using a blackberry please save me
YAY
I got it fixed but now im on step 13 of that guide where you have to use ADB an i cant get the phone to show up on my PC what drivers do i need i already have Vibrant drivers but still nothing an the usb works its a samsung USB so can anyone help me with ADB
I am having a similar problem. Was running ICS 4.0.3 w/Euphoria without issue until this morning. Got a couple of errors after a normal recharge. Pulled battery and rebooted, but is stuck in boot loop. Cannot access either recovery or fastboot screen. Vibrant logo flashes and release buttons, but never enters mode. Then cycles to Android screen and would likely stay there until battery died. This is primary phone and need to put back into service quickly. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
