need help

OK, against my first inital gut feeling I tried to apply the lag fix and something went terribly wrong. I got Fc's all over that place and none of my apps will work.
I can get into recovery, but I cant get to my nandroid, or dont know how too.
I am trying to figure out how to use odin, just to start all over, but I cant seem to get the phone in downloader mode. How can I get this phone back to stock?
any help will be appreciated.
found the way to get into download mode. tryn to do the rest. just needed to read some more

I got it back to stock. just needed to step away for a bit and keep reading. sorry for the post

No worries. Freaking out a bit about potentially hosing your phone is understandable.

its being pushed out ota, so you can odin back and not have it waiting on you, the best thing to do is just wait for a dev or Sammy to release a downloadable version so you wont be stuck on stock waiting up to 3 weeks for an update.

From what I understand and have gathered from the numerous other questions posted about this exact thing on the forum... I believe custom roms will not receive the ota through their phone, but you should seriously read through other threads before posting something like this

After odin back to stock I'm going to call tmobile and tell them that I did not get the update

Ok, along similar lines. I flashed the leaked JI2 rom (no other fixes) via ODIN. Should I expect an OTA update? How do I get back to stock?

Odin back to stock

yes u need to go to the stock room. Now the update, if is TRUE, is been released in groups, not everybody will get it at the same time.

Why is that dum?

And now I have a brick. Started the process in odin with a tar and pit file from this thread.
This was a freshly exchanged Vibrant (my old one, with a wonky USB port is sitting in the return shipping box). So now, I've got ANOTHER Vibrant on the way. I have to take the one I was exchanging and take it out of the sealed shipping box I was going to send back Friday and use it in the meantime. Since I have to break the tamper proof seal I have to wait to send back the bricked phone until they send me another shipping label and seal. Sheesh!!

You are clearly to noob to mod with your phone lol.

You would think so, but...umm no.
Never had this problem with my G1(flashed, re-flashed and then some), oh how I miss it!! I think the Vibrant hates me!!
Phone 1) swapped it out for GPS issue (when they were still thinking it was isolated) Phone 2) horrid call quality for some reason and dropping off of network (switched out sim card first) Phone 3) stopped being recognized by PC and now Phone 4) this one was my fault

Use the ADB d2 premanent method posted here... Not only will it get you rooted faster but you learn invaluable ADB skills. Its very simple just takes 15-20 minutes of reading... you will learn nothing using a one click...

Thanks for the help and I had no problems rooting my Droid x but the fascinate is throwing curve balls and I will use other method.
Curious to see what this bad boy will do

ok. Yeah, the one click worked on the X but for some reason people are reporting some of the one clicks taking extremely long or not working at all... If you can follow the adb commands and root it manually you'll be set. I'm running JT's froyo right now and it is FAST!! Just wait till we get a froyo kernel to work with. Bird/JT/Kaos/Adrenelyn will have a field day.

Yeah I'm excited because moto's locked bootloader is a drag and I was debating the one click method for the fascinate but thought I'd give it a shot but ill deff use the other one once I get back to the PC ill post back with my results thanks alot for your help

No it was DI01. I didn't see DL09 mentioned earlier in the thread, I just assumed the unrooted phone in question was DI01. I forgot it received the OTA update to DL09 recently.

Universal answer to all questions

_____ wont work on my _______
_______ wont update
__________ signal ________
____________ making no sense
I am bricked. No boot, no download mode!
Answer: 1. Odin to stock if you can get into DL mode if you can't, skip to step 2
2. Go to Sprint and say your issue or say you got an update and your phone wont turn on. Act stupid.
Big no-noes:
-Usually sprint store reps can't tell you rooted. So don't say "yeah, om rooted so..." or throw up an obvious sign like a theme or boot logo/animation.

This needs too be stikied and on front page good job bro

Don't you have to be in DL mode to use odin?

90% of Sprint reps have no idea what rooting ever means. It is the technicians you have to worry about.

They know if your phone says COD:BO or something when it turns on!

Mine says, "I'm rooted, *****!"
No it doesn't really, but if someone made a good boot animation with a fun animation, I'd use it.

[Q] What type of brick do I have?

I've got myself out of many semi-brick situations but this time it's different. The phone is totally dead. No lights, a black screen with nothing displayed and the battery doesn't appear to be taking a charge. I'd given the phone to my son and now he's understandably upset that I've killed it for him. It happened while flashing with Odin.... It's as dead as a dodo and I assume its an ultimate brick. Is there any recovery when they're this bricked?

Sad but you must change motherboard.

You can try Unbrickable mode My Android Solutions

I had this once on my i9000 a while ago. I thought i totally smashed it, but after having the battery/sim removed for several hours i was able to get back into download mode (Vol Down/Home/Power Button). I reflashed a GB Firmware (3 file) and it worked again.
I cannot post outside links yet but look on google and maybe build a Jig (Search for "Samsung Galaxy S JIG"
They are easy to build, maybe its worth a try...
good luck my friend
