So I am new to this whole flashing thing and just recently flashed my phone using Eugene373 Froyo rom. Seems to be ok for the most part but a couple things I noticed:
1) I can no longer use OCLF to fix my lag issues.
2) when I redownloaded the rom manager after flashing and I reboot into recovery it gets stuck at the vibrant screen. I let it go for about 5-10 minutes and nothing happed. Should i have waited longer??
3) When I power off my phone to and use the 3 button sequence to get into recovery mode it will not let me. the phone just keeps wanting to power on.
Any body have any ideas how to fix any of these issues??
Go to rom manager and click flash rom manager its the top box that will allow you to get into custom recovery

I was attempting to run this lag fix on my Vibrant and now my phone does not boot past the large S, it just sits there with the center of the S glowing every few seconds, then the screen goes black. I can then click the Home key and the keys all light up but screen stays black and the lighted keys never turn off.
I can also hold volume keys and power at this point and boot to Android system recovery screen but can't do much there because either a reinstall packages or reboot causes same issue at the big S. Is there any way to replace the update.zip (for lag fix) sitting on the internal memory so I can reload stock?
Note: I got to the part of that lag fix where it tells you to choose the top option in the MCL Scripting program (6:45 in thee video), while it was in there running the phone rebooted at some point and was extremely slow booting up. I was able to get to a "power-off" prompt there and since then have been stuck at the big S ever since.
Thanks for any help.
I was able to get back to the phone running again by doing a wipe (unfortunately) but now after booted I get an error like so:
Sorry!

The application Web (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
dumpstate_app_201008192123_com_android_browser.log has been saved. Use *#9900# to copy out log.
How can I flash my Vibrant back to stock now? I think this is kinda hosed the way it is now. Thanks!
Odin and stock kernel is your option.
Did you make a nandroid backup before you ventured into the lag fix?
EDIT: it should not be in this section
Took me a bit of time but I figured out how to use Odin and boot the phone in download mode and flash it with the stock kernel. Thanks for your help!

can you please help a noob out and give me detailed steps on how you did this =]
if you want to learn to use odin read some of the faq threads there one in each of the galaxy s variants development forums just follow the instructions and it should work
Any assistance is appreciated.
I rooted a few days ago and did the forever S-off. I have ROM Manager loaded and was poking around in the system. I downloaded Skyraider and ROM Manager asked me to reboot. Not thinking it wouldn't let me know what it was doing when in recovery before doing something the rom had been applied. Now the Phone has for 40+ minutes been at the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
I have read not to pull the battery but The power Button and Volume button do nothing so I could really use some suggestions. As a little more info I have not flashed the radio yet so it was a 1.x radio that a 2.2 rom was just seemingly applied to.
Bricked or recoverable? I have a Nandroid backup if someone can help me get back to that point...
pull the battery out this happened to me before... pull it out and go into recovery mode ... first download on your pc 1.0 baseband .. then while in recovery load that into your sd...then install it to your phone... that will take your phone back to when you first got it out of the box... after that load up baseband 2.0 then root then raider
You could also try booting into cwm recovery and do a wipe data/cache
Did you get past the boot screen?
I am also stuck on the boot screen.
With some advising to pull the battery I did so. It did allow me to boot to recovery and I restored the backup I had taken. I am back up and running as if nothing had happened. I will revisit flashing the radio to the right version and trying the rom again soon.
Hi,
Just wanted to share my experience getting JPC Rom installed and rooted.
Prior to upgrade, I had the JP3 Rom, rooted with clockwork and 1-click lag fix.
I had some major issues installing JPC. In fact, I ended up with the dreaded USB logo a few times.
This is not a complete guide, but hopefully it will help avoid the problems I had.
1) Before installing the new rom, I strongly suggest that you Factory Reset the phone.
2) Install the JPC Rom using the other guides on this page. I used Odin and choose Repartition to get a clean install.
3) Here is where the problems started. After the rom installed cleanly and the phone rebooted, it would get stuck on the second Samsung logo and eventually go black. This happened to me twice. The fix I found out, is to go into Rececovery mode (Vol Up, Home, Power) after the install and clear the cache, reformat SD and factory reset. After you do this the phone will boot normally.
4) After that I followed the rooting guide on this forum, but ended up with the dreaded USB logo. If this happens to you, just go back into DOwnload mode and reflash with Odin again (following the guide in this forum)
IMPORTANT: I have TWO galaxy s phones. The strange thing is, one of them is VERY easy to get into Download or recovery mode. The other is almost impossible. For those of you that have a similar model to me that seems like it does not have a 3 button download or recovery mode you probably do.
I thought I was bricked, and tried for over an hour to get my second phone into download mode (take out battery, hold three buttons, put in battery, over and over again). I was about to give up, but found I was able to get the phone into download mode if I ....
1) Take Battery Out. Put it back in.
2) Plug phone into USB on computer (do not turn it on)
3) Now try to do the 3 button Download mode. Press all three buttons at one time and release power about 1 second after seeing Samsung logo.
Again my second phone I can very easily get to download mode 100% of the time. I am really not sure why the two phones would be any different. I hope this helps people that have a stubborn phone like mine.
P.S. I did not install Clockwork on JPC, but I did root the phone and installed 1 click lag fix. Phone is running VERY stable and all features seem to work (including Mobile AP).
I hope this helps others like me who tried to install update.zip as explained in some posts & got the dreaded USB logo on boot & didn't know what to do because I am sharp but no programming & all that. I got mine to go ahead ONLY after I put in my SIM & External SD card. With both OUT, I get the USB logo 100% of the times.
I hope this helps.
Ive installed jpc a few time now and a factory reser after flashing did it for me every time
A message popped up from Samsung to install an update (I had been pressing cancel for the past week on this update). It says click OK to reboot and apply update (something along those lines) so I do. Now I am stuck with a tablet that won't boot. If I hold the power button it says "Samsung Galaxy 10.1" after about 12 seconds, but then it goes away and back to darkness. Nothing else. Holding power and volume up does nothing.
Someone know what is going on and have any idea how to resolve?
The best way is to restore any backup you have from cwm recovery. Else grab a stock firmware and flash it with ODIN or if zip than CWM recovery. For luck, try clearing cache and data in recovery, first!Perhaps it may work saving you all fuss of flashing a firmware.
I cannot even boot that far too get into recovery. And I just noticed that although I can't boot, the backlight is on (on a solid black screen).... wtf
You can't hold volume down and power button to enter recovery?
Nope. I plugged into my computer and for some reason with the USB connectd it let me enter recovery. Flashed a backup and rebooted, but now I have no wifi... im confused.
it occured once to me when i tried to overclock, it never worked except when installing a new rom... Try to root the device and then install a new rom
OK, was a helluva night messing with ROM and kernel installs... I have yet to go back to completely stock (that's next up tonight, unfortunately), but I installed Starburst ROM and the Wifi still didn't work so I then installed pershoot's kernel and now when I boot the screen is extremely distorted kind of like this: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTsKa5IoQxnesGdUjykWDDggoQZ38yZ2VXSgPAQ09NOCnETzl9-
As a side note, when I say the wifi is not working, it still shows all networks and allows me to connect just like normal. However when connected no apps can access the network...
Can someone point me to a thread on how to revert EVERYTHING back to stock so I can start fresh? TIA!!

Should have all the files you need. From where you are now I would flash the stock OTA 3.1 or TW then flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset from that recovery. That should get rid of the garbled screen.
Thanks buddy. On my way to grab the files now
I heard the update was pulled as it sometimes rewrites the bootloader improperly. You might need to send it in, unfortunately.
Hi all. Earlier I installed what I thought was a Rom suited for my device, but I believe it was the wrong rom. Now the device wont get past the splash screen, TWRP recovery is hit or miss and the only thing that opens without issue is download mode. Here is what I have already tried to do
installing stock rom via odin (application stops responding as soon as I pick the file under PDA)
install a backup (failed)
installing a new rom via recovery
fix permissions
factory reset
Is there anything else I can try? ODIN doesn't have an issue recognizing my phone, but it freezes up as soon as I try to install the stock rom. Somehow I managed to get a message in the recovery saying I don't have root (???) and when I try installing it, it reboots and get stuck at the splash screen. Also, I don't remember what it said exactly, but it was something about an md5 failure? There is an option to check md5 but it just fails. Whenever I try to install a rom via recovery it fails also. I can install kernels without a problem, however. Is there anything I can do at this point or am I out of a phone?
Be patient with ODIN, after selecting the file for the PDA slot it may seem to stop responding, just give it a minute or 2 and it should come back to life. :good:
Happens every time until it freezes up my computer or it force closes itself. pic

After seeing the pic make sure only auto reboot is checked nothing else no F. Reset Time.

right after you flash with ODIN (GREEN PASS), immediately pull your battery, then pull your plug. then start up in recovery mode. sometimes the phone turns on automatically once you put the battery in but keep holding the 3 buttons until you see the blue text on the top left.
I prefer to let it do a full auto-reboot over the battery pull as previously suggested. Let it do it's full reboot before anything, then do a proper shut down, go into recovery & so on.
