I just had my phone rooted on tuesday by a friend. It started turning itself off for the first few hours and went back to normal for a day. Last night it started turning itself on and off every minute. I know nothing about phones, can anyone help me?
How did your friend root?
Did they delete system apps?
Did they apply lag fixes?
Perhaps just flash a custom rom. Their better than stock and should fix your issue. I hope they didn't do a lag fix. Disable it if they did.
He did something like holding the power button/volume up/down to get into download mode? That's all i know. He said he didn't remove any of the system apps, or change anything. He added a wifi-tethering for me, that's why he rooted it. I know nothing about phones and computers. I'm out of town for another week so i can't have him fix it, but i need to do something so i can use my phone. Any suggestions?
oh ya, he used ODIN if i remember right
I don't know why he would be using Odin if all he was doing was rooting the phone. Can you get to the web to DL anything? I would try flashing something with clockwork till you can re-flash to stock with Odin. You need to find out what exactly your friend did when he worked on your phone.
Can you adb? I would like to see the log.

my phone wont stay on long enough to do anything. When i push the power/up/down buttons at the same time i get a picture of a droid and it says power reset or unknown upload mode
whats adb? I'm a preschooler when it comes to anything computer/phone related

As was I, and that's the only time I've seen that screen.
OP, you're friend definitely did more than simply root your phone. Especially if you say he used Odin? There's no reason to use Odin to gain root.
I would recommend you Odin back to stock and start fresh.
is there any way i can do it without Odin? I'm out of town for a week and need my phone
Rom manager / clockworkmod. Just go to the app store (it's free) and download it. Flash the recovery and flash back to stock 2.1 eclair. It should fix it then when you get home just use the one click root method to root your phone. Check the vibrant bible in android dev. to do it, it's really easy to do yourself since it is literally, one click ^_^ Also for the rom of 2.1 I also recommend going to the vibrant bible for that as well. All you have to do is dl rom manager, put the 2.1 rom on the root of your sd (not external sd) then go into rom manager and install custom rom (pick the stock 2.1). It will wipe your data but your phone should be fixed and you can always dl back your apps and import contacts through your gmail account. Hope this helps.

After the OTA update killed my phone, I used Odin to recover and then put Bionix 1.9 on my phone. Everything was good until last night when I tried to put the 1.91 update on. It looks like I have lost root and/or superuser permissions. I ran Clockwork recovery to load the ROM and it booted, let me pick the ROM and then started giving me error messages like:
The application Superuser Permissions (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. And force close.
Now Titanium backup and other root apps won't work. I tried unrooting and re-rooting with no luck. What should I do?
In Rom Manager run > Fix Permissions.
If that doesn't work un-install Superuser and reinstall.
I don't seem to be able to uninstall superuser. It's like I lost root and can't get it back. There is no superuser app listed to uninstall.
You're probably just better off ODINing back to stock and flashing straight to Bionix 1.9.1. There's some releases of Bionix 1.9 that had some issues, you may have gotten a bad copy.
I am downloading the stock image to my home computer now. Something is all screwed up with my permissions.
I am new to the Samsung so I have a noob question, why do some roms only let you Odin and others clockwork install? I prefer using Odin on the Samsung but I don't know if I can install the Bionix that way. Almost everything on the MT3G side with Cyanogen was done through the boot loader. Even on the MT3G I have had problems with Clockworks from time to time.
Can I extract the Bionix file and use Odin? Sorry for the stupid questions I am just trying to figure this out!
Good question. I myself prefer Clockwork to flash ROMs, since I think it's a lot faster and more convenient than messing with Download Mode. As far as I know, Bionix is only flashable via ROM Manager / Clockwork.
It's all about the way they package it. Sombionix must prefer clockwork installs so he does it that way. I always go download mode if I can. Much more reliable in my eyes.

Same here I always flash from Recovery Mode opposed to Rom Manager for flashing new roms.
I went back to the stock rom and now the phone won't come up. It loads the Vibrant screen then the T-Mobile screen finally the Galaxy S and then goes blank. Is it dead? I have tried flashing it back to the stock rom a few times and it looks like it is working. It does give a message that says it can't wipe the data though.
What should I do?

I'm assuming that you've got a decent charge on the phone (>65%) since you haven't been using it. You can get into download mode just fine right? What version of Odin are you running 1.0 or 1.3? Which stock JFD package did you download? This one has worked for me in the past.
~SB
I used the 1.3 Odin. I reinstalled the drivers from the package I found here forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=803492
I can still get into download mode. I think the battery is above 65% still. I have had it hooked most of the afternoon.
I had also tried the download you linked to.
I just tried again with the files you posted and the same results. It keeps saying that it can't format the data / do the wipe.

Lemme look around the forums and see what I can find. This phone is pretty resistant to bricking. I'm sure there's a fix for this in one of the few million posts here.
Thanks! I can't wait 7 days for a replacement phone.
Try this thread and see if it works for you. Seems like some people were having the same issues.

I am at the Android System Recovery and it boots with the error like it is supposed to but I can't seem to get the command prompt step. It says to go to a command prompt and run ADB Reboot. Where do I find the A It looks like this DB command at?might work if I can get the phone to reboot.
Edit: I see it is in the SDK.
It's alive!! Thanks SB for all of your help. I have Froyo running. I will leave it there for now.
This site is a better source of help than any other. Thanks again.

I have had your same problem my friend just hold 1 while pressing power on and get in download mode then just do odin again
This nice yellow arrow has happened to me bunches of times so don't worry!
When you get the dash yellow icon situation, the only way to recover is to flash back to factory with Odin3.
In case you haven't gotten it yet, here's the download link for the di18 stock tar:
http://www.multiupload.com/X9AB1U56JV
You can get back into download mode by doing the following:
* Close the Odin program
* Pull the USB cable and battery out of the phone
* While pressing both the 1 key and power button with one hand, replace the battery with the other. Download mode should immediately appear.
* Open Odin first, then reconnect the USB cable
* Load the di18 stock tar into PDA, reboot should be the only thing ckecked. Press start.
I wrote the all in one script, and would like to know what happened when you installed the clockwork mod. Tell me what OS you were using and what messages came up. The script should have detected if the install wasn't successful.

Being the resilient person that I am, (as well as the impatient one). I found a stock Tar for DG26 and Flashed it to my phone using odin... it fixed it. Then i manually updated it... Had i waited for a response i would have known there was a .tar file with the DI18 update floating about... Thanks for the help though. This is a good forum with a good community.

At least quite a few people came to your aid... glad you've gotten it sorted. Feel free to post again in the all in one if you still want to install clockwork mod, I do my best to help as long as I'm online. You know what to do now in case something doesn't work out... It's happened to us all.
Interesting enough, I don't think I actually bricked the phone when I first installed Clockwork. Seeing as this is my first smartphone and my first foray into the Android universe, I am a bit of a noob when it comes to how things are done. Not realizing that clockwork Mod used a different button to engage items than the normal Samsung recovery platform, I had thought I had some how overridden the start up files to eclair with the All in one program.. After re-upgrading the phone back to DI18, I rooted then installed clock work again using the "AIO" program. (great program BTW). I encountered a similar error to what I had before, When I was in clockwork I was unable to leave by using the home button or even removing the battery, but I hit the back button and then figured out that the camera button acted like the home button would in the native Samsung recovery client. I think this was the case from the start. Just keep this as a story of warning if you ever are in my position, ask people before you think you've completely "bricked" or screwed something up, because there may be a simple solution. Anyways thanks for the help, I'm still learning all of this, though I've been using linux platforms for years (no ubuntu or mint, more Red hat and Debian.) so you'd think id be ok at it....
So i have probably flashed my phone around twenty times, and each time something goes wrong or doesnt work, i have to use Odin and flash back to stock, do the JI6 update, install OCLF, root it, flash clockwork recovery, then try and flash another rom.
My concern is that it takes forever to do his process everytime. Is there an easier way to do this? Do you need to have JI6 before flashing a 2. 2 rom? Do you need root to install a custom rom? Or can you just copy over clockworm recovery to sd? Any info will help, thanks.

I've flashed my phone with every rom I could find. I was using ClockworkMod Recovery to do my flashing and never had a problem. but if you flash a 2.2 rom.... you can't go back to 2.1
Unless you open Odin and have your phone set to Download mode.

yeah ...
I have no clue how you could be having this much trouble... are you following the guides?
First off you don't need to wait for the ji6 / flash the ji6 update to get to froyo. 2nd, why are you bothering with the lag fix before getting on the rom you want to run daily? Try to keep your flashes clean. By this I mean once you're odin'd back to stock, just flash 2.2, so there's no weird mods messing things up for you. If you're finding things wrong every time you have to eliminate as many variables as you can that could potentially cause something to go wrong. If you flash straight from stock, you're only variables will be within the 2.2 ROM you're flashing. Hope this helps. It's definitely worth it to get on one of the froyo roms in these forums, I recommend Axura, no problems at all and there's an even newer release than I'm running so it might be even better.
I did a backup with 2.1 update1 stock. Then flashed to 2.2 Obsidian V4.
That's my first flash and I only got the phone for two weeks. So apparently
I was still in learning mode. I did not backup my contacts as I thought
I could easily go back to 2.1 just as if having a dual bootable linux box.
However, after restoring to 2.1, the phone did not boot. It appears that I
have to use ODIN to bring it back. But my concern is I will lose my contacts
once 2.1 is back. So my questions are:
1. if I use odin, will I lose my contacts?
2. is there any other way to let the phone boot?
3. Not sure if my case falls into the category that flash to 2.2 then cannot
go back to 2.1 unless odin is used.
Sorry for asking so many questions.
Many thanks in advance.

Ok i'm confused on how you will lose contacts.
When you add contacts to your phone are you choosing "google" as the place to add it? If you choose "phone" then you will lose contacts as data is wiped.
But always choose "google", then all of your contacts will be synced and stored to googles servers. Then once you add your google account after you flash your rom all of your contacts will be synced right back to your phone..... this is what I do and I always have my contacts no matter what
install check list
OCLF (Root only)
Rom Manager (clockwork recovery + Rom Installer)
thats all you need really for quick installs.
I did my first rom install about a week ago, since then i've flashed 4 different ones, havent had any issues. i tend to stick to installs that can be installed via clock work, Used odin 1 time that was because OTA JI6 broke me.
Obsidian V4 is unstable and was pulled from the public download page for revisions try V3 or Onyx R3.1
as for contacts, you don't have them synced Via gmail or atleast backed up on your sim?
Just so everyone knows there is a stock 2.2 for use with ODIN. No need to go back to stock 2.1 then up to 2.2 again. The 2.2 for ODIN is pre-rooted. I have done this twice now with no problems. Haven't needed One Click Root/Unroot since we got 2.2
It might be a little late to know this. But to be honest, I do not really buy into
the concept of putting everything in google's hand. That's why I chose to
save in the phone other than google.
I thought that by backing up the current ROM (2.1 update1 in my case),
I should be able to restore back to it whenever I want to.
Am I doomed? Really hate to shoot everybody an email asking for their
numbers. And worse, some of them don't have email since they are old

so far obsidian v4 has not given me any trouble, but I will give V3 a try later
to make sure I have at least one stable version.
As for contacts, I did not take it too seriously when I flashed to 2.2.
But now I realize it's a lot hassle to get all numbers back if I can remember
who are on my list.
Is there any hope to save my a**?

Thanks for all the replies but to be clear all my custom flashed roms flash successfully. Nothing wrong with flashing, just doing advanced stuff like testing eugenes kernels with other roms. If something goes wrong then i have to start over. I was just wondering if we can go from stock to 2. 2 which i know now we can. Do you need root to do this or can you just copy the update. Zip of the clockwork recovery to sd and get into it from stock recovery to flash the new rom

Hi everyone, I decided to finally root and flash to axura today. I saw the one click vibrant root link today and did that one successfully. I did some searching and ended up with Austiclees instructional video.
My phone is currently rooted and after downloading Axura 2.0.6. I loaded it onto my internal sd. I downloaded the newest clockwork and when i click install from sd card it seems to be working. However, the screen just goes to android system recovery and I'm stuck having to choose between reboot now or reinstall packages. I'm very frustrated right now and was wondering how to get Axura to actually install..
BTW I did not root from one click lag fix.. I hope thats not the problem.. Any help would be appreciated PLEASE!!!
I just flashed onyx on my vibrant like a day ago.
When you have the rom on your phone you go to rom manager install clockwork i cant remember if you need to restart... after that you click reboot into recovery ...
wait for the prompt to come up and choose to reinstall packages the phone will reboot and open another prompt (you may have to repeat this step if you didn't get into clockwork recovery just click reinstall again.)
Once you are at clockwork recovery you choose install from sdcard and navigate to your rom.

The way you rooted is not an issue.
Click reinstall packages that should take you into cw recovery. Sometimes you have to click twice. Once in Cw recovery scroll down to install zip from sd card, then click choose zip from sd card. After that click on your chosen rom, let it do it's thing and when it brings you back to Cw screen click reboot now. Then enjoy your new Rom.
thanks guys... i figured it out... for anyone with the same problem, I just clicked reinstall packages twice; which put me into clockwork recovery. And for anyone deciding if they want to root and flash or not, let me just say axura's rom on the vibrant is undescribably wonderful. I love not having to reboot when I go to gallery, wifi problems are non existant, as for gps, I haven't tried yet but will be most likely flawless.

Yeah I have read a few guides on Odin but the program itself is still hard for me to understand.
There needs to be a wiki or something that has a entire glossery for the program's terms.

My brother and I both have a Vibrant. He broke his so I loaned him mine for a week. While he had mine (which I've upgraded to 2.2), he installed Android 2.1 Voodoo 4 on it. Little to say, after rebooting, the phone wasn't booting past the boot screen.
I've now followed some instructions from the forum, and have reflashed my phone with Eugene's non-bricking ROM through Odin. The phone boots up just fine now. However, I am trying to install ROM Manager on the phone, so I can reflash my recovery ROM (non Voodoo) - and the Android market tells me it can't install the app due to not having enough free space - though I have over 1GB.
I am guessing this is because the internal disk is still setup in the Voodoo file system, and just enough space was repartitioned for the OS to go back on.
Can anyone help me restore my phone?
EDIT: I've also tried flashing a different recovery ROM through ODIN (with repartition), which also wouldn't let me get past the bootup screen.
I'm taking a wild guess here, I seriously don't know, but did you click repartition in Odin? I think that's would work, but like I said, I'm not completely sure.
I didn't repartition for the Eugene rom fix (as per the instruction I read), but did when I tried to load another version ontop of that.
I was in the Voodoo chatroom, and was able to get some help. It sounds like I need to download a stock ROM and then reset my file partition to get rid of the EXT4 partition, and reset it all to the default.
I have Eugene's "non bricking" rom, but I don't think that's what I need. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I need and how to do this?
Just search for the stock Odin images and flash back. They should be in a sticky. I would repartition as well.
I am trying to find a stock version I can ODIN flash. Do you know where I can get one?

I've gone through ODIN, done a reflash to the stock firmware, and repartitioned the phone as well.
Now, when I boot the phone up, I get the T-Mobile screen and the Galaxy S screen, and then the phone goes black (with no lights on) and doesn't go any further. My phone has been sitting on the desk like this for 20 minutes now.
I am wondering if this is like when moving to Voodoo, it takes a while to change the format to EXT4, is the phone having to go back to the default?
I 1am into the same problem with the old voodoo. What you'll need to do is flash back to stock via odin. Ur apps memory will be real low. Flash an old 2.1 voodoo. Let it do its thing once booted put a disable voodoo file into the folder and reboot. It will be ok after that. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks fatboy, but I can't even flash back to stock. The phone won't boot up.
