Argh! I just tryed to restore back to JM1 from JPO due to official FroYo being near. Flashed plenty of times before so I know what I'm doing. Set up the usual pda, modem csc etc and it started to flash then my phone went from the download mode screen to a greyish colour. I left it for a few minutes and nothing was happening and the flash had failed. Took the cable out pressed the power button and that was it, it will no longer turn on. Has anyone got any ideas, I wouldn't ask for help if I didn't need it.
Thanks guys.
Edit: My phone from stock has been able to access download mode.
Hope you have your lagfix disabled prior to flash.

Yep, always make sure thats the first thing I do. I'm quite an avid user of xda so I tend to keep up with what to do etc. I really have no idea whats happened. I've tried holding down the download mode combo for a while and nothings happened. When I connect the usb to the computer nothing happens, take it out and put it back in a few time I hear the 'noise' thing from Windows 7. So there must be some kind of life in it :\
I recently did the same thing with my SGS. I bricked it once already trying to flash so was really apprehensive about doing it again but I'm addicted to flashing from my WinMo days with HTC phones.
When I flashed from JPO to JM1 I used all the JM1 files (PDA, Modem and CSC), the 512.pit and selected repartition and all went well. Sounds like something may have glitched when doing yours, maybe a spike in the power or temporary loss of comms between phone and PC?
Have you looked into the homemade JIG thats been detailed in XDA? Might be worth a try if you're completely locked out
You could try this as it happend to me a few time backs
Remove the battery, hold down the buttons for download mode and dont let it go find a way to insert the battery.
Let us know when its done!

Tried that :\ No luck unfortunately! This is what happens when your addicted to ROM flashing. Maybe I need help haha. Going to hold in download mode buttons for as long as I can to see if anything happens, will report back.
EDIT: Right finally getting somewhere. After holding in the download mode combination for 5 minutes I managed to get into download mode. I really have no idea why though? Anyways Odin isn't playing ball. Odin won't get past factoryrfs.rfs. I'll leave it there and see what happens
EDIT 2 : Nothing. Can anyone help me on this?
Got help elsewhere, run kies in comparability mode for windows xp and run as admin. Phones working for the time being
Thanks for the help from those who contributed, it means alot.
Phone will not turn on after Odin 1.7 flash ROM and it not showing charging also....i am also facing same problem... pleas someone help. urgent..

I had the same problem and had started looking for a new phone.. :/ gutted! :/ I took the battery out, pressed download mode buttons, put battery back in and my phone sprang back to life... used ODIN again to flash new rom and phone was up and running again! Thanks for your help!

Okay,
There is a growing number of us XDA members on the Vibrant platform who have just bricked out phones. Save for other DEV tools, which I have not used, do not have access, and do not know how to use, for all intensive purposes, this phone is Br'iKTed ! ! !
Here are the series of events
1. flashed the latest Bionix
2. Worked great, some bugs, but for the most part without incident.
3. Flashed new DOW Kernel,
4. worked great for 2 days.
5. then on night 2, the phone was stuck on the DOW Green robot screen
6. could not get into Recovery mode (none of the recovery modes)
7. Phone would not boot
8. ODIN back to stock
9. After Vibrant screen, the phone turns off. No soft keys, Nada!
10. Flashed JI5, Ji6, Eugene's Non Bricking Froyo (ODIN Files)
11. Same result, Turned off after Vibrant
and
12. still cant' get into recovery
I am having problems with the phone starting up and loading what I flashed.
I flashed JI5 Ji6, and Eugene's non bricking Froyo Rom
These 3 are the only ones I was able to find that is ODIN flashable
Why you ask?
I cannot get into Recovery, but I can get into Download mode. I can't get into any recovery at all. NOTHING. This is why ODIN seems to be my only option.
But regardless of any ROM i flash, my phone shuts off right after the Vibrant screen. No splash screen, no loading, no booting. .Nothing. It just shuts off.
I can't charge it either.
i get a Charging bootloop. HOurglass - battery shows up for a bit, then restarts over and over.
So in other words. it's ****ed.
Hope that explains it sufficiently. if you have any more questions or suggestions, Im open man, Im open.
Help me
So I'm not sure how DEVs would like to proceed on this.
TW (I've always loved your roms. Been following you since the first BIONIX 1.8)
Morific (If it's the Kernel, i'd like to know about it)
Thanks for reading guys. I wanted to give everybody a heads up.
I don't know what the problem is, but I do know that the phone does not work.
I'd appreciate some suggestions or anything.
And to inform the community that this problem is out there. I hope there aren't any more bricked phones.
Cheers,
have you tried using odin with the repartition checked
Yes I have.
Tried it with/ Without. Using Just the Tar file, using just the base file. I've tried it all.
Thanks

have you tried to odin to ka6 or ka7? something with a bootloader
not to be that guy, but how does this pertain to development? This sounds to me like an individual case of something going wrong and not an overarching issue with current available software. Just in case I am wrong I am flashing Bionix, and the DOW kernel myself to see if I end up with the same issue. My suggestion is flash back to stock, and exchange your device for a new one from T-Mobile.
I totally understand what your going through. I'm having the exact same problem, the DOW kernel flashed ok but then it didn't want to come off and it totally has my phone stuck on that damn green robot screen.
I soft-bricked my phone once by pulling USB cable immediately after ODIN forced my phone to reboot after flashing. It was the first time I ever ODIN'ed my phone, and thought the reboot (ODIN calls it reset) was the final step of flashing, and unplugged the USB cable. Anyway the phone did not initiate final step of the installation of JFD image, and went into boot loop. You can't imagine how freaked I was. It wouldn't go into recovery mode even if I pressed volume up, down and power combo, because it didn't stop rebooting right after the Vibrant logo. I am not sure if bootloader was not installed correctly, though. But I kept the phone rebooting for a while to see what happens. No luck. Eventually, I followed someone's instruction, and pulled my battery out, plugged USB to my laptop and to my phone, started ODIN, and popped in the battery. The phone immediately restarted into download mode, and I was able to flash the phone again.
My experience may not help you as it appears that you are able to flash ODIN-flashables, at least. But I hope this helps someone who's experiencing similar issues. And I would try downloading a JFD image and verifying MD5 before flashing. It could be bad downloads of the image files.
Try to go to eugenes forum and he has a file to download...it is his unofficial jk2 froyo rom. Don't use the old "froyo that does not brick" Try to flash that in ODIN. I just used it tonight when I got stuck in stock recovery with a MBR Check sum failure. That should get u back to where u can fix ur phone. Also I don't click the repartition button in ODIN just causes problems for me. If u need anything feel free to P.M. me.

Completely reasonable. This pertains to development because if there is an endemic problem with one of our ROMS or KERNELS (not pointing fingers, just pointing out the possibilities that I know of, there could be more), people in our community need to know. Hence, I titled it "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT"
Thanks. I hear you about Tmobile. I'd rather not have to dump my problem on Tmobile if I can fix it, because I flashed the rom. Despite the fact that Tmobile JFS leaves something to be desired, they did deliver me a working phone. So i'd like to exhaust all possibilities before calling it quits.

Thanks for the heads up. I've gone through this myself many times. And i'm sure your post will help others out there. My problem (as well as many others on here with the same ROM and KERNEL I used) seems to be different and unique. Something that ODIN won't cure.

Yes, tried that too. Same result. Vibrant.. then shut off.
Thanks anyway.
I had actually just had Bionix-v 1.2.1 and the new DoW combo to try out Voodoo Sound. I really loved the sound quality, but battery drain was not adequate as being my daily driver, even though I set it to run at 1ghz and used a sleep profile. After just over 2 days of use, I backed out by ODIN'ing to JFD and I installed Bionix-v 1.2.1 again. Only thing I have noticed so far is GPS not initiating immediately after it's turned on. I would go into GPS Test app, and turn on GPS after the app is started, but I get no satellites for at least 1 min. I used to get a lock within seconds, not minutes. I will try ODIN again tomorrow and see if it fixes. I guess I was lucky enough not to get a bootloop again though.
But I can't see why you and I would have any issues after the Bionix+Dow combo. Wouldn't ODIN just clear everything up? I even repartitioned when flashing, so my guess is that my system, data, datadata, etc., are all reformatted completely? Am I missing something?
I had the same problem. I flashed DoW and then the next day my phone didn't want to turn on. I pulled the battery and restarted it. It didn't want to start up all the way. It got to the vibrant screen and shut off. luckily for me, my replacement phone that I ordered a week ago came in the same day. I sent off my old phone letting samsung/tmo take care of it.
This exact same thing happened to me.
I too had the phoen bricked after flashing the DOW after Bionix 1.2.1
I have been flashing since the G1. This is the first time I've ever bricked a phone.
Hoping to get it fixed this weekend
Yo OP
Coming from a very scary brick my self, (phone wouldnt even turn on, bad dead horse test).
When your using Odin, are you using v1.7, are you using the correct stock JFD tar, when you repartion, are you using the correct pit file. Sounds to me that your partions are screwed, so try the pit approach first. If you phone wont boot at all after this, with odin open go into download mode by holding the vol rockers only, and plug USB in.
Then flash JFD.

I spent over 12 hours working on this when it happened to me yesterday. Tried every tar and pit file and all versions of Odin I could find. There is no way to fix it with Odin. It is BRICKED!
If you have not already done this, I recommend doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Bay Wolf made a nice software for the computer that pretty much shows you a step-by-step instruction on how to flash to stock, reroot, and flash the new ROM of your choice. This program will push you into download mode, clockwork recovery, etc. There is a video on that link that will also show you a step-by-step instruction. Try that out if you haven't, and let us know how it goes.
That program comes with a PIT and TAR file for you to use as well.
Even if you say it is, this is not a Development thread and belongs in one of the other forums. I understand your frustration, however TW did not flash your phone, you did. Coming on here with a "PSA" that their ROM or Kernel loaded itself on your phone and broke it is not the way it should be done. Did you, before posting this, go to the TW irc for help or pm Sombionix or any other TW Dev?
Since you can Odin, Odin to stock 2.1 then connect to KIES mini while in download mode, if you can, and take the OTA.

I thought the same when it happen to me.
Nothing would work, but went that approach and happy days.
s1_odin_20100512.pit
and
T959UVJFD.tar
are the only ones you need, and if your good with your flashing, just do a pit first, no pda.
And if your still getting to download mode, ect, and dont have the computer /!\ phone icon on the screen, sounds like a soft brick.

Also, why would he need to pm sombionix or a TW dev before posting this?

Because he started off with his problem stated as:

2. Worked great, some bugs, but for the most part without incident.

Your phone probably IS charging.
Your /efs nodes may be messed up. Do you have a backup of your /efs?

This may sound like a very dumb question but i am just now getting into the different things i can do with my phone. One of which is i have rooted it and installed clock work manager. I have seen A LOT of people talking about odin and using it to install froyo 2.2 on their phone. I was just wondering how you actually go about getting odin on your phone, or is it something installed on your computer to transfer files to your phone? my main objective of all of this is just to have froyo 2.2 finally installed on my phoneso if anyone could please give me the run down on this and the info i need to install 2.2 on my phone, or a web page that shows you how to install it once i have odin, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Odin is a program used to flash .tar files (modem, kernel, system) onto your phone while in download mode.
A little poking around here (I would link you but I'm at work) and you will find the Samsung Drivers, The Odin program itself, and recently someone posted Odin files for 2.2
If you have the .zip of 2.2 (or Superclean 2.4) all you will have to do is flash the eb01 modem in Odin, then install the .zip file through CWM.
Follow ALL instructions in the threads you find to the T or it will be a pain in the ass to get your phone back.
Remember: When using Odin NEVER USE THE PHONE BUTTON. We use the PDA button for the Fascinate.
PDA = Good
Phone = brick (that's bad)

If u get the eb01 sc Odin package...it comes with rom obviously so u don't flash anything in cwm. However... future roms you want will b flashed in cwm. All u do is boot into recovery,instal zip from sd cars, choose the zip from sd card....select it...and hit ok

Ok, easy way to get froyo... go in the fascinate develpment section of xda or droid forums and look for ODIN eb01 package. It will load you up froyo, new clockwork, and root your phone all in one shot. The directions are super easy, just follow them exactly. I did mine this way, you dont have to mess with clockwork at all, ten minutes total. Let us know how you make out.

Story:
I installed/downloaded Odin versions: SpeedMod K13E with HZ=500 from http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html
and followed the instructions from http://apcmag.com/how-to-update-your-galaxy-s-with-android-22.htm
and now i rebooted my phone to see if it works but it came out as this (plz look at the attachment)
Basically, i installed a speedmod and once its finished downloading I turn off my phone and turn it on again and then it cam up as that. I try to reconnect it to the computer but it does not do any thing. I need help please
Can you access download mode? Try pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. If you can, then flash with Odin a stock ROM.
I can't I tried many times... I might try again though. by the way the OS version of my phone (andriod 2.2) I think is not official. I follow the instructions from here: http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s/
I just tried going to download mode and its works. How do I get the stock ROM? Do i Just have to plug into Odin and thats it?
you need to download a stock firmware from samfirmwares or the like, and then flash it through ODIN. As long as you can get it into download mode, follow the instructions in one of the numerous guides in this forum. There is also a post with links to all the stock firmwares in this general forum.
EDIT:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm < here is the firmwares, you need to register to download, go for the XXJPY version for android 2.2.1. There is also a guide to use ODIN on here too. You might need to reflash the PIT file if the first attempt at reflashing still causes the phone to not work.
Guide to flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
(Beat me to it ) I'd also suggest registering with the website samfirmware.com (it's free), then going here http://tinyurl.com/38m5t77 and download the correct ROM for your phone. With the correct ROM downloaded, simply flash it using Odin.
Why not try Gingerbread (2.3.3)? You can download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 (make sure you thoroughly read prior to updating).

If u can go into download mode, go into download mode.
Then u can try with EZBase, it's an easy way to put a simple 2.2.1 ROM on your phone, with all the ROM needs.

Hey Guys!,
Since theres SO many people trying to flash the I9000 Release of gingerbread JVB with xcaliburinhand's kernel I decided to write a little tutorial and I have uploaded a pack with EVERYTHING youll need to flash I9000 2.3.3 Gingerbread NEE (WITH Bootloader) and the ReOriented Kernel.
Heres a little info before you get started
2.x download mode button combo Volume up/down and plug in usb cable
2.3.3 download mode button combo is Volume down + power button no usb needed
2.3.3 recovery hold power and volume up until you see the screen turn on, then release power and continue to hold volume up until you see recovery
2.3.3 USB settings are in Settings>Wireless and Network>USB Settings
2.3.3 debug mode settings>applications > development
DISCLAIMER AND WARNING
IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION THAT USING THE 3 BUTTON ODIN JF6 FLASH TO STOCK 2.x WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE BEYOND REPAIR FROM NORMAL METHODS INCLUDING DOWNLOAD MODE JIGS!! PLEASE USE THE 1 CLICK ODIN TO RETURN TO STOCK 2.x, AND THEN FROM THERE YOU MAY USE ODIN WITH THE 3 BUTTON FIX!!!!
AND AS ALWAYS! IF YOUR DOG BEGINS TO VOMIT PEA SOUP,YOUR GRANDMOTHER ROBS A BANK, YOU GROW A SECOND HEAD OR YOUR PHONE BRICKS I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
####################################################

----------------------------------------------------------------
How to Flash Stock 2.2.3 I9000 NEE GingerBread WITH BOOTLOADER
1. Wipe data and cache/Factory Reset with CWM. (pull battery when complete to shut off phone)
2. Find the "GT_I9000_XWJVB_XXJVK_NEEJV3_Sbl.exe" file and click it and extract its contents into its current folder.
3. Open up Odin 1.7 and now select the 512 pit file I included, and select all the files in the necessary place in Odin and make sure "repartition" is selected". your odin should look like this http://d.pr/Ixt2
4. Put Your phone in download mode and connect, now hit start. (THIS IS WHERE THE ONLY DANGER IS, YOU ARE NOW FLASHING 2.3.3 AND THE NEW BOOTLOADER INCLUDED WITH 2.3.3 Just dont unplug your cable or have your computer die, otherwise you will be 100% Clear)
5. Boot up normally and let things settle.
6. now power off the phone and wait for it to shut off completely. at this point hold down "Volume down and Power" at the same time and wait till download digger appears. Open up Odin and select the 512 pit and xcals kernel(In the PDA box) I included and DE-select repartition if it auto selects and go ahead and connect your phone (Obviously needs to be in download mode) and flash.
7. The phone will reboot and once again let things settle (media scanning and whatnot). Plug in the USB cable and transfer the folders included in this pack named "Fixes and modems" and also "For Rooting" to your phone. then power off the phone once again. this time hold down "Volume Up and Power" as soon as you see the screen turn on let go of the power button and continue to hold volume up until you see CWM.
8. at this point you should be in CWM (Woot!). navigate to flash zip from SD and then navigate to the folder "Fixes and Modems" and flash "Enable CRT Lock.zip" and "update-xvjvb-home_button_fix.zip" and I recommend flashing "modem_ugjk4.zip" as JK4 seems to do the best.
9.Reboot. At this point reboot and you should be on stock 2.3.3! Congrats!!
10. If you want to root read the txt file i included for rooting!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Step Two! ROOTING!
1. I have included the file "zImage-root.tar" in the folder "For Rooting" which i already had you copy to your phone in the original instructions for installing 2.3.3 included in this pack!
2. Go ahead and power off your phone as you will need to go into download mode for this.
3. Open Odin again and once again select the "512 pit" file included and in the "PDA box" select the "zImage-root.tar". Make sure that repartition IS NOT selected.
4. Go ahead and put your phone in download mode and connect it up and hit "Start" !
5. (Dont Panic!) After it completes it will take you to the charging screen and will not boot up, ITS NOT SUPPOSED TOO, it just installs Busy box, SU, and Root.
6. at this point unplug your phone and close odin
7. now ONCE more go ahead and REOPEN Odin again.
8. Select the File "512 pit" and the kernel "I9000_reoriented_vG.beta2" (PDA) in the folder "Kernel Beta 2" (once again making sure repartition isnt selected)
9. Put your phone in download mode and reconnect and GO GO GO! Hit Start
10. Let it boot normally and Voila you are officially rooted.

woot, lemme know what you think of the guide :]
very nice guide. already running continuum 5, but nice guide
Great guide, but obviously the stock experience wouldn't live up to those of a custom ROM. What steps should we take to flash i9000 GB ROMs?
I just thought I"d post one "problem" from when I got up and turned on my phone.. for whatever reason (I have an idea) I keep getting FC of the Notification bar and email.apk ... I have a feeling it has to do with my tibu restore...I'm going to reflash some stuff and see if it fixes it.. I tried a few clear cache and dalvik cache but that didn't help, I want to do a master reset but a bit scurred. I'll wait a bit and see if anyone has any ideas before I jump ahead. I can use my phone with no Not bar for a bit LOL
Thanks in advance

I let mine sit off all night, still no FC's since installing. Only issue is the rotation. Had to turn off in settings since whenever I go to settings it's in landscape mode. Mildy annoying when I want the web in landscape but if that's the only issue I have... I can suck it up lol
