I had the update with OCLF installed and it worked fine until I decided "accidentally" (very very regretful now) to install Voodoo from the OCLF app. Then the phone went into a soft reset and got stuck at the Vibrant screen.
Since then I've tried to select "install packages" or "reboot system" options in the recovery mode, but it showed only a partial progress bar at the bottom, then it got stuck at the Vibrant screen.
I gave Odin a try but the app does not see any com port after use ADB reboot or recovery commands.
Btw I did NOT select USB debugging mode before installing voodoo. I did install the USB driver for the Vibrant but am not sure it even works because the Odin app did not see any com port.
Any help is appreciated! I don't want to loose data and files in the internal storage. This is kinda urgent because I need to use phone.

The same thing happened to me. I even posted it yesterday to warn people to be careful with RYANZA Voodoo and I got flamed and insulted. Basically you fried your kernel. I tried different things and what worked for me was ODIN the JI6 back. Go to Vibrant Directory Bible under Samsung Vibrant--Android Development and find that thread. Go to the ODIN section and download the JI6 package. You will need to get into 'Download" mode on your Vibrant for ODIN to work. You need to have the phone plugged into computer via USB, hold down both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. When the screen becomes black, release only the power button and download mode will pop up. Then bring up ODIN and make sure the yellow com message pops up. With ODIN it will work right away (like 2 minutes). If you see it hanging then you need to try it again. When you get your phone back up you need to disable voodoo. Good luck. Know that the Vibrant is almost impossible to kill, you will be able to bring the phone back to life.

I tried flashing it using odin but the phone would start, show the tmobile thingy and just turns off. Is there any way around this?

I'll give it a try later. Is there a good link to download the USB driver? I did but am not sure it will work with Odin. I also forgot to release the pwr button only when the Vibrant screen came on. You said release it at the black screen.
Theres voodoo on the oclf app? Where do you download it? When I downloaded it from the market it wasn't there. Do I need to install a supported kernel before it shows up?
Another thing is the phone is not in USB debugging mode before. Is this needed for Odin to work?
It is in OCLF app

I don't remember exactly how it looks but the app has like 3 tabs: 2nd is available, 3rd unavailable or vice versa, 1st is probably the voodoo one. BE CAREFUL, read the kernel instruction first! I am sure they are not compatible. It should be disabled one or the other so users wouldn't get hacked.
ok the 3 button procedure got the phone into Recovery mode like this screen with yellow text:
--------------------------------------
Android system recovery <2e>
reboot system now
reinstall packages
--Appling Multi-CSC
Installing Multi-CSC
------------------------------------
Selecting either "reboot system now" or "reinstall packages" gives this screen:
----------------------------------------
Installing from sd card completed
rebooting..
Phone reset done
-----------------------------------------
The phone now got stuck at the Vibrant screen!
How to get into the download mode?
Holding vols up down with battery in and then plug in the USB cable, the Downloading screen came up with the digging icon and a message "do not turn off target" but it just got stuck there. I typed in the adb reboot download under the folder containing the adb files but it said "error no device found". I installed both drivers, one from Samsung site and one x86 from Softpedia site. Is it time to get a new one?

Somewhere in the forum said that selecting the pit file will wipe all data. Is that true because I so want to keep EVERYTHING intact! Just got back from a short vacation in Waikiki
I got the PC to see the Vibrant now with Odin but I downloaded the newer tar file T959UVJI6 (2.1 updated ver) but can not see it from selecting PDA button, it can only see the old T959UVD (stock 2.1). I am at the no point of return now so within 15mins if there is no answer then I must get going.
Thanks again!
Never mind guys! my bad did not unrar the tar file..going to download it now..wish me best of luck!
ok downloading now... it is a nerve wrecking experience comparing to WM6.1 custom rom flash which was very smooth going. I still miss the original i900 Omnia. I am going to be late for the church but God please forgive me! Oh it passed the downloading and got the S logo..
it booted up but stuck at black screen with all soft keys lighted up, tried the install packages in recovery mode again..
I guess I need to download the pit file? Will this wipe out all data?
I don't have voodoo... where did you get your oclf app from? Is it not showing because I have stock JI6 kernel?

Did you follow my to-do list to the T?
this might help
you need to flash this PDA file with odin EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA along with the PIT 512 you should still have from the unbrick instruction odin forum then after you flash those files you need to let it do its thing it will prob take you to recovery just long press the power button and when it turns off put the usb back in the phone to get it into Download mode(just get back into download mode any way you know how) and then follow those instructions you did earlier with the unbrick instructions forum just flash the Eugene373 SamsungS Froyo PDA file first then after you flash it get right back into download mode and flash stock vibrant rom through odin.
Odin in eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.Make sure you use the 513 pit file that comes with it. When its done, pull the battery and odin the jfd. Use the 512 pit file with jfd. Check the repartition box for this one. You will be back to stock and all the lag fixes will be gone. This process works to save your vibrant from ALMOST everything
^^^oops, didnt make it to your post...just tryin to help

But use it with extreme CAUTION at your own risk. Don't brick it like mine
Again guys thanks for your time and help but just one more time, I am still a bit confused, can you list exactly what files to download in order to get the phone back alive without loosing any data and files?
Download 512 or 513 pit first? Do it together with the tar file (check both boxes in Odin)? I understand 512 pit go with JFD (stock 2.1 rom before the update). How about the latter one? It goes with JI6? Now I got only the JI6 in the phone without the pit file. Should I download 512 with JFD first then do the latter one with JI6, and all data still remain intact?

Ok,
The_Chrome_Coyote really helped me!!!! Thank you so much and im back up and running. There was something missing from the original tutorial, not that we should be spoon fed but I didn't have the WinRAR program on my pc and didn't know I needed to extract anything. I was looking for exe. for it to be a program and just open it. It's a little more complicated than that. I added my additions in BOLD
The_Chrome_Coyote's Original post to me:
Odin isnt that hard, its just REALLY picky about working.
Firstly you need to download the Samsung drivers for your OS which can be found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
added:
Second you need to make sure you download WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 3.93 (google it and you should be able to get it) otherwise if your pc doesn't have a program to recognize rar and tar files, you are out of luck.
then read this thread from JAC:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
1. Now, Extract ODIN from its .rar and place the .exe on your desktop
2. Extract the .pit file from its.rar and place that on your desktop
3. Place the JFD .tar file on your desktop but DO NOT EXTRACT
Now you can use ODIN
4. Start ODIN Odin3. [Android + SLP], through ODIN select the .pit file
5. Hit "PDA" button, and through ODIN select the .tar file
6. Plug your TURNED OFF PHONE into the USB cable
7. Wait for the Battery/ charging indicator to start
8. HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN+ POWER, as soon as the screen goes black RELEASE POWER, and continue to HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN Until it enters download mode. Which should happen quickly and looks like a men at work highway sign.
9. If a COM port has turned Yellow in ODIN, then the device has been recognized. If it hasnt, unplug and plug your phone back in.
10. Dont select any options other than whats set at default.
11. Hit Start and be patient, takes me maybe 5 minutes to get back up and running.
NOTE: If you do not see a blue progress bar on the phone's screen after a minute;
11a. Turn your phone off by pulling the battery.
11b. CLOSE ODIN
11c. Start at step 4 again.
ODIN needs to be open and ready to flash before the phone is plugged in, in my experience. Its very picking about this, and not everyone has this issue, but I did and following all these steps helped me flash my phone more times than I can count the other day haha.
Hope this helped! and your $20, donate it to Wes, JAC, or Eugene to keep them making great stuff for our phone.

Quick and possibly dumb question. I have the drivers installed for my Captivate on my windows 7 (X64) and the phone connects to the PC in Kies as well as Mass storage mode and modem. However, when I get to your process of turning the phone off, connecting to the PC and entering "Download Mode", it does not recognize the phone and it does not connect. Am I missing something? I tried to disconnect and reconnect the usb, but no success. Thoughts? (It does come up in device manager as a general device, but no drivers for it?)

I'm sorry for getting back so late... However, if you have the correct drivers installed on your computer you should be fine. Have odin open, disconnect your phone, take out the battery, put it back in, place cover back on, while still off, place usb in the phone, wait until the battery indicator shows charging, then hold down both the volume up down toggles and the power button and when the screen goes black, let go the power button only while still holding both the volume up and down button as one. This should take you back into download mode and a yellow indicator in odin should appear.

Got it. It turns out that the Samsung Drivers that are given from their website do not include the ones needed to use the Odin application. When I downloaded the "Samsung Galaxy S" series drivers from another source, it was a success. There were plenty more drivers included in the second source's zip than in Samsung's given zip.
Thanks for the help and reply.
how long does it usually take to flash the stock rom? odin started but stopped about 75% into it and has been sitting for about 10-15 mins. if i have the wrong drivers would it even start or give me an error or something?

just gotta say thanks to everyone. Im a somewhat noob, but not stupid by any means, but have never had to use a .rar file for anything, so once I found out how to extract it, I was up and running in less than 5 min. Thanks again to all!!

When it happened to me, I used Odin to go back to stock. I lost my apps and my settings/configurations, but I didn't lose photos or videos.
Edit: Disregard, I answered the wrong question in the wrong thread.
There's a lot of ways people have tried to get back to download mode. Here's what worked for me:
Restart computer
Remove battery from phone
Plug USB into computer
Start Odin
Reinsert battery to phone
While holding volume up and volume down, plug USB into phone
If you ODIN to JI6 you might not lose your data but I am not 100% sure this will work.

Works for me every time on that screen. Its like a "hidden" download mode. It should work on any vibrant, as long as Odin sees the device.

I can agree to that.
That mode always works as a download mode for me as well.
Just plug the phone in, and see if odin recognizes it, if it doesn't.
Try to reinstall or install the drivers for your phone. The best way i found to do that is install mini kies by samsung, it installs ALL drivers for your phone.
i went to odin back to stock and accidentaly had re-partition checked... now i have error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media :Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
please help with solution to this!!!!!
Did you forget to undo vooooodooo first if so then follow this, even if not you should try it anyway
Turn your phone off open odin hold down volume up and down,now plug in the usb this will get you into dl mode now you need to flash Froyo ~~~That does not Brick! rom with odin. Right after you flash that get back into download mode open odin first then with the phone ( power the phone off give it a min, hold down the volume up and down keys, now insert the usb cord BAM download mode) flash back to whatever rom you want.
Ok this is a old post I made for another person that bricked there phone, if you don't have the Samsung drivers for your pc you can get them down below, also you should follow my instructions from my first post and then follow these for the rest.

Simple problem, you used a .tar file in odin that didn't have the DBDATA in it.
download the JFD tar, open it up, make sure it has DBDATA in it, then re-odin, and you will be fine.

Do it again and follow the instructions .
- Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
- Reboot your device into download mode: Turn the device off, then power it on again by pressing and holding VolumeDown + Home + Power simultaneously. You will know when you are in download mode, it is really obvious
- Start ODIN
- Connect the device to your computer using USB
- Wait a few seconds, the ODIN screen should show you that a device is now connected
- Make sure that in ODIN NOTHING is checked, except the "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checkboxes. Press the "PDA" button, and select the "XWKDD_insecure.tar" file.
- Press "Start". ODIN you should now be flashing the kernel, and the device should reboot.
- Wait until the device is rebooted, and while still being connected over USB, start SuperOneClick, and press ROOT.
- Reboot the device
- Done !

Thanks for the quick reply,
thats the same file i flashed. I re-downloaded the file from the link you posted and flashed again in Odin. Same result I can confirm the phone is in usb de-bug, the phone was turned off and started in the download mode (black screen) I got pass ok in Odin. The phone restarted afterwards but i get the same. When the program gets to this stage it locks up and has to be ended by task manager. Im running windows 7 x64 pc with i7850 processor ddr3 ram..
on the tut the file is called XWKDD_insecure.tar inside the rar file on the post its called zimage with no extension, i had to manually add the .tar to get odin to view it.

Any suggestions?

Why did you extract a tar file to make a tar file the instructions are to Flash XWKDD insecure .tar . as PDA through Odin
Long guide (for beginners)
- Download the attached ODIN file and extract the .zip file
- Download the attached XWKDD, but do NOT extract the .tar file

Hey guys , I rooted my SGS2 with XWKDD_insecure.tar and superoneclick.
Everthing worked fine.
But after a while I found out, that I couldn´t make any videos with the device´s camera. All new recorded vids couldn´t be played. Message "unrecognised file type".
So, I decided to get some other ROM. I wanded to flash the litening 2.0 Rom and flashed it with odin.
But no flash changed my device. Yesterday I had thousands of konversations with experts from a german android forum. noone could held me.
Every odin flash seemed to finish correctly with PASS. But after reboot, my device always has the same state, the same kernel version, all installed apps after my rooting were gone, messages, images... all were gone, except these I had on my device before the rooting I did.
If I install e.g. CWM Manager and select the action "boot into recovery mode", I only can see the Options "reboot now", "install update from sd", "wipe data" and "wipe partition".
All data saved by my device, doesn´t stay on it, after i rebooted it.
It looks like after every boot, my device loads a special recovery point, like system recovery on e.g. Win XP.
Anybody an idea?
Nobody here who can help me with this problem? ...
Hello Humphrey,
when you boot into recovery, you can see ' update.zip' , usually that is cwm. Rom manager installs update-zip before you can use rom manager. Install update.zip via rom manager just incase that update-zip is not cwm, unless you know it is. When you install update-zip, via recovery and it comes back as unable to verify zip, then you are not rooted.
The cwm will allow you to format the caches and system, delvik and battery and then allow you to install a complete rom with a rooted kernel.To be quite honest, Oden could brick your phone because you are using 2 hardwares, computer and phone. I have found it easier to download a zipped rom to your sd card and use cwm to flash it. Remember to format everything I said but not usb or sd. I have found Designgears Cognition 1.13 rom, not 1.15, to be ideal. I also use Zeam desktop, which I find ideal. Cognition is already rooted. Rom manager has glitches, so I don't use it to reboot into recovery or anything else but to look at roms, which I don't download via rommanger. Also, I'm fed-up with downloading stock roms and then having to find a rooted rom and using Odin.
I hope you find this useful.

Hey all, new Android user here. I just rooted my device with no problems, but it dies and I recharge it, but it just goes to the "samsung" screen, and will vibrate 3 times quickly followed by another about 1/2-1 second later, then repeat every ~15-20 seconds. I am able to run it in ODIN (download) mode. I was told I need a new rom/firmware, can someone show me how to do this without ruining my device? I didn't save a backup because I assumed I would have no problems
I have had 0 problems before this, and even after root I didn't experience a problem.
Model: SM_G530T
FYI I am a mac user so have downloads be .dmg's.
Thanks in advance! If you need more info, tell me!

pls help I want my phone back
You'll find your stock firmware on samsung-firmware.org
It'll be tar.md5 format, perfectly normal.
Add it into the AP/PDA in Odin and it'll flash fine.

teach me how to upload to odin pls
Make sure all your drivers are installed, turn your phone off, plug the USB into the computer.
Start Odin (right click, properties, run as administrator and in xp compatability mode)
Put your phone into download ode (VOLUME UP, HOME, POWER)
Plug your phone into the computer. Odin will say "added" in it'd output box.
Press the button PDA or AP (depends on version) then select the firmware you just downloaded (tar or md5).
Once loaded into Odin, press start, it'll flash everything and then restart your phone.
Let me know if you need any more help!!
Edit:
Please ensure you are flashing the correct ROM for your phone. Bad firmware or recovery images can cause some bad problems.

Not that I'm aware of, but Google is your friend, friend.
Home + Volume Down + Power, that starts your phone in download mode which Odin uses to push software.
Your phone needs to be in download mode to do anything at all with Odin.
Also, why not just spin up a virtual machine and use the windows Odin, Windows is much better for all of this sort of stuff.
