i updated to the 2.2 froyo via kies when it was released using test mode
but ever since then if i turn my phone off it gets stuck booting back up on the swoopy s and wont boot any further the only way to get it back on is recovery mode and factory reset which is getting really old now having to rest everything up after each boot
any ideas on what the problem is and how to fix it
i have tried to connect bck to kies to see if i could reflash but it says no updates available
Problem is froyo and downgrade.

PLEASEEE!!! help me out i tried upgrading from kies mini to froyo. I did this with success earlier in the past on my old vibrant but had it replaced to a referbished one and i tried upgrading it now.. but my vibrant was stuck at downloading the uprade on kies mini at 1% for half an hour... and the vibrant had the android shoveling yellow sign saying do not turn off target... for half an hour as well.. I knew something was wrong there because it didnt take even close to that long last time..
NOW I tried unplugging the usb wire restarting the phone in emergency mode still nothing... now all i have is a cellphone...yeild sign... computer icon showing..
PLEASE HELP!!!
Dont worry you totally didnt brick your phone. Its pretty common, can you get your phone into download mode? If you can then just odin to stock.
1.Take your battery, sim card and SD card out
2. Plug in USB Cable
3. Hold volume up/down and plug in battery (There are a few ways of doing download mode and I believe its phone specific, or if you have bootloaders installed its different as well, google around a bit...
4. Start odin and presto, your phone works again!
hey thanx... I just did that.. I never used odin but i installed odin with all the files... I believe my vibrant is hardware locked because i was trying to get into download mode for 2 hours with different techniques.. such as just volume keys and power button... taking out the battery holding volume keys then putting it back in.. but nothing put me into a downlaod mode... somehow odin still found my phone while i was still stuck under that picture...
I loaded the .pit file without the jfd image.... becuase i didnt know what window i was suppose to load the jfd image from... like pda.. or etc???
anyway so i just loaded the .pit file and clicked start it reset the phone and the phone went into restart mode and it turned on fine i checked it works fully... lol.
It makes no sense... was i suppose to load the jfd file somewhere?????
i still want to upgrade my vibrant to 2.2... but now whenever i turn on the keis mini it promps me to emergency recovery upgrade... so i tried doing that and went into download mode since now i can.. and plugged in my phone but the progress bar on my computer for upgrading never moved from 0%... its odd... am i doing something wrong?
so again i disconnected and "bricked" my vibrant again lol... went into odin followed the same steps just loading the .pit file and it reset the vibrant back to normal again lol...
Im so confused yet happy that i have my phone working but i still want my froyo... i love the fact that i can use yahoo video messaging on it with froyo and have flash and other benefits..
any advice?
Thanx again
try this...........
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
put pit in pit and tar in pda on odin
Connect it to the PC and see if ODIN recognizes it.
If it does, you are safe, flash stock.
EDIT: nvm, didn't notice the third post was yours.
Anyways, if ODIN can STILL recognize it, get the first from the link on the post above, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and enjoy your again-useful phone.
I had that same issue once.
Try a JIG. And do a search, I see like 50 posts a week like this.
First.
Thank you all for taking your time to help. I have one last question... since I used Odin but it just reset my phone and I didn't flash the old firware on it..... ever since that now I tried to update my phone with kies mini and it says phone unregistered... in that place before it used to say new firmware available and showed old forward numbers/letters.
So if I use odin all the way will this resolve "unregistered device" problem?
Thanx again

Bricked
I have a similar issue, was soft bricked, Odin to stock then, while using Mini Kies to upgrade back to Froyo the phone turned off and never came back on. I cannot get any response from the phone as far as light's or sounds. Checked a few batteries and still no use. I'm curious if anybody else has had a similar experience?
so if it should solve the unregisted problem... where I put in the pda file... is it possible to put in the last froyo there so odin could flash froyo on my phone so basically i wont have to go through kies process?
odin back to 2.1 then root and then flash a 2.2 rom way better then a stock 2.2 rom

Make sure you have the right odin files, once you have gotten back to normal just do a factory reset on your phone if that is possible. Then root, flash, and do whatever you want to do. Without your proper files for odin you'll get bricked or get something different.
How screwed am I? Odin doesn't recognize phone, vibrant aio toolkit can't adb phone into recovery or download mode. Flashing different rom screwed up during kernal phase and I stupidly rebooted phone. I CAN use a jig I bought to get into download mode but computer Odin doesn't 'see' it.

Yes, not sure what changed but I plugged the phone in again and Odin recognized it, the file I loaded is PDA_T959UVKB5.tar.md5, the process has hung up at SetupConnection...

id keep trying it odin is finicky! maybe try different usb ports
ok guys i know i aksed for a lot of help.. but i have a newly discovered problem.. when i connect my vibrant thru the original usb port to transfer files back and forth it never lets me transfer even the smallest picture image... on both internal 16gb or sd... the phone computer just constantly shows transferring animation.... i tried many times.. i even scanned the phones hard drive and sd card for errors... nothing... could it be i messed something up with kies? or thats why kies in general never went with the upgrade past 1%?
its a refurbished phone.. when i got it.. i uploaded my old pics without a problem with the same usb cable..... its weird.... i dont know what to do? what is it likely the phone itself or i messed it up with kies upgrade????
please help.. its frustrating me
Ive been trying to fix the sound issue as mentioned in my other thread... anyways here is the problem i have now:
I had the Trigger 2.2Final rom installed... used Rom manager to flash the Trigger 2.3.5 rom (gingerbread). This did not fix my problem, and has actually been far to buggy on my phone so i want to go back to the froyo Trigger 2.2 rom i had before.
I tried flashing the 2.2 rom in Rom manager but its a no go. How do i go downgrade back to 2.2?!?
follow ALL instructions, to flash back to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
after flashing, you can upgrade to 2.2 by kies if you want, or you can flash an 2.2 rom through odin. but i recomend do as this topic, back to 2.1 and so upgrade
I wouldn't use kies to upgrade. It has a history of turning your phone into a paperweight

yes, but with this specific rom, you will get no problem at all. did this more than 10 times already, including one 10 min ago, back from cm7 to 2.1, and 2.2 through kies
Just Odin back to 2.1 then flash a 2.2
This is actually the link, the other links are outdated - http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...pps-*-everything&p=11409&viewfull=1#post11409

I REALLLLY NEED HELPPPPPPP!! I have a samsung vibrant (USA VERSION) and i was trying to install froyo 2.2 using odin, Instead, by mistake i flashed the 2.2 european version turning my vibrant into a GT-I9000, now each time i try to reboot my phone into download mode it won't do it, i want to reboot into download mode so that i can reflash my phone back to the american version since now this GT-I9000 isn't reading my tmobile network and i CANNOT make phone calls nor receive them.

You will have to figure out the key combo for the phone whose firmware you just flashed

yes i have search all over the internet, not just xda. may problem is very simaler to others but no quite the same.
here's what happened
ok. so i have a gen2 A500
it was running on stock 3.2 unrooted
i updated the acer update tool from the play store and then searched for the ICS updatit downloaded the update and asked me if i wanted to contine ue with the update.
i clicked yes and it started to do it's thing.
it completed as far as i could tell and rebooted
it got stuck at the acer log for 30 min until i decided something was wrong
i turnned it off but when i turn it on it still wouldn't boot past the acer logo.
i downloaded the stock ics update froma link here on xda and copied it to my sd card.
booted into recovery on the a500 whih automatically started the flashing process again.
still stuck at acer logo
i flashed it again and then this time did the power, vol+, switch hard reset combo. it booted into ICS
after logging in as a new user, i put the tablet down for maybe 5 minutes. it shut itself off and it's back to being stuck at the acer logo.
doe anyone know wth is going on?
i can get into download mode but i'm not sure what good that is doing me. it does say it has ics bootloaders.
Is there a program simaler to ODIN for samsung that i can boot into download mode and try to reflash that way?
thanks for any and all help.

I screwed up my phone about a week ago by not flashing Loki-Doki.zip after a rom. I decided to Odin back to stock UAMDB, and now I am not rooted and I have stock recovery. I realized soon after doing this that I didn't get any OTA updates, so i connected my phone to my computer to see if I could update with Kies. It seems I can update to UCUAMDL with kies, but I was wondering if I would be safe to do this with my phone being previously rooted etc. Thank you for any help given.
Yes you can I did it!

I actually just let the phone sit at the recovery screen and it came back up.
I originally used towel root and rom manager to try and load the cwm software.
