I haven't had a need to but you can try to ODIN back to stock and start over again
If there's a better solution someone will post it soon here
Well thats the solution right there... Your probably gonna need eugenes froyo that doesnt brick and either JK2 or JFD .tar and ODIN back to get your phone restored to a stock version.

I'm on eugenes froyo with no brick and I've flashed back to jfd and I get a black screen
Yea... eugenes froyo is just a step in the process. Its not a daily driver rom..You have to go back into D/L mode and ODIN JFD.tar without Repartition checked

So i upgraded my phone with the leaked froyo update.zip and everything went well except for the gps. So i followed the how to "unbrick/bring back to stock" thread so i could downgrade my phone to the di18 firmware. I used odin, the s1_odin20100512.pit and the d700.zimage.stock file. I did not want to wipe out everything, i just wanted to downgrade the kernal back to stock.
When i tried flashing on odin, it failed. now when i try turning on my i get the phone icon with the exclamation mark in the triangle. I wanted to call my girlfriend after flashing my phone but now i cant . Please help me save my phone!
EDIT: Okay not bricked, but it wont load up android

Put the phone in download mode again and run odin again.

Thanks for the tip!
Your gonna want to flash the di18.tar in "pda" with odin and only reboot checked, no pit needed. That gets the di18 firmware back, and the only way.. kernel has nothing to do with it..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am about to do this too.. and dont want to wipe the data only get back to di18 to get the gps working.. so in that case:
1. I dont need pit file at all
2. which .tar to choose? not the255 mb file?
Mine failed the first time to. I followed the directions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
I tried it a second time but used the victory pit that came with odin 1.61 and it worked. I think in the instructions their using an older version of odin.
I'm not in anyway an expert and you may not even need to use a pit like another poster said. It worked for me though. When I got done the phone rebooted and it showed it having the eclair d07 build from there it updated itself to dI18.
I believe you still need the pit file. If you are going back to stock DI18, than use this:
Stock Files
The one you were trying to use was the kernel I believe.
Here is the pit file you need:
pit file
I have flashed back to stock about 14 times and I have used these two files successfully every time.
yeah ive done it te same wasy that swanysto has done it also a lot. it always works for me to. i know some sa you don't need the pit unless just doing a kernel but i always use it. just my 2 cents
pull the SD card out before you go into download mode (not just pull it out, make sure to push down and let it pop up to remove it).
My question is , how can I backup the contents out of the box to a .tar file that i can load up in the pda section of ODIN in the future if needed ?
The phone is baseband I9000UGJK4 kernel 2.6.32.9 and build froyo.ugjk4
I would like to have a permanent backup on hand of this before I change the os on it if I decide to do so or mess something up lol
So again , question is how can I back this up the the .tar file like we download from samsung for future flashing or restoring? Thanks guys
Strange that your phone came with JK4, since this version has been pulled from kies by Samsung.
I think you should upgrade to JL2
It came from futureshop just today , do you know how I can backup the contents to a .tar before I start changing things?
Update immediately to JL2. Don't load any other firmware until you have done so. This is important! Your likelihood of getting an internal SDACRD failure is very high until you do.
Important that if you use Odin, you select the flash boot loader option.
Strongly agreed. Use Kies (Samsung's official app) to FIRST do the upgrade. If anything happens during the upgrade, take it back immediately to the store for an immediate replacement (how long ago did you get the phone?).

I agree with gtg2, DvTonder and zorxd. Upgrade to JL2 with Kies A.S.A.P. JL2 can prevent the dreaded dead internal SD card issue so many people are having.
Install Kies, plug in the phone, and update the phone.
When Kies is downloading JL2, it will go into your temp directory. Copy it to a different directory. I did and I have the original JL2 on my computer for when I need it.
If you can't get it off your computer, you can download it from here.
Ian
OK done that last night , bought it 2 days ago. Updated through KIES last night so now that worry is over. I cannot find the temp folder you say I should have the downloaded firmware in though , nothing in c:/windows/temp or in kies folders
Here this is stock JL2 just flash it with odin in PDA.
JL2.
You can find odin instructions in Allgamers Thread here.
One thing you might want to consider is rooting your phone, if your on JL2 use Super One Click located Here. Another Method to get root access would be to flash Hardcore's kernel odin versions and installation instructions Here. Once Hardcore's Kernel is flashed then just boot into CWM (VOL UP+Home+Pwr) and find root in the menu. I recommend going the Hardcore Kernel method just cause from there you can go to Doc's/Darky's/Seearm's or another custom rom of your Choice.
Once rooted get Root Explorer or equivalent file explorer and make a backup copy of the EFS folder . Store it on your PC somewhere. If anything ever happens and you need to return the phone to bell just flash the JL2 I linked with odin and you will be back to stock.

why would you back up Jk4 it is broken version, I am surprised they Samsung still put it on the phone...please please upgrade to JL2 as soon as convenient and that backup
Now to answer your question, im not really sure if you can make a backup tar that you can flash later with odin. I think you're trying to do something like an iphone backup that saves everything, files and settings, even the background you had on your phone.
What i do is keep a copy of the stock firmware from samfirmware.com and then i make a backup using the app "titanium backup". You can find a free version and a paid version. Before i flash a new rom i backup everything and then copy the titanium backup folder from the internal sd to my computer, flash and then restore all user apps and settings. Flashing a new rom has never formatted my internal sd card so the folder is always there, i just copy it to my computer just incase. Ive been told not to do a restore of systems apps and settings on doc's rom though, not sure why. Maybe another user can clarify.
Lastly hold onto the receipt with your life because you will at some point in time end up with a dead sd card I recommend doing a stress test (does not void your warranty). Go to the thread here for stress test info.
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.

Hello folks,
I posted here recently about an issue I had when I loaned my brother my Vibrant running 2.2, and he accidently installed Voodoo 2.1 on it. It made a big mess of my phone, and I wasn't able to even boot up.
Working with several members of a few different Android forums, I got myself working using Eugene's No Brick ROM. My phone seems to be working fine, except that now the phone thinks it's Application Storage is 0.00kb left, when I know I have over 11GB on the internal SD. The feeling I've got from several people is that my stock kernel I reflashed is only seeing the space it's installed on, and not all the reformatted space that Voodoo has altered.
A few of the guys I talked to said I probably need to reset my phone with a FULL ODIN package (that includes boot.bin. sbl.bin movinand.bin) to reset the phone's internal SD back to the original format.
Does anyone know where I can find that full ODIN package?
Or if anyone else has any other ideas, please let me know.
The bootloaders won't help...just increase the chance of a hard brick. You probably will benefit from odin with the pit and tar with repartition checked for jfd.
Edit: fyi this will wipe your entire internal sd, so backup.
I have the same problem. Can you please point me to the download links and name of the pit and tar? Thank you.

My phone is a brick right now if I don't install a ROM with a bootloader on it (Eugene's No Brick ROM). That's the only way I can get it to boot up.

Thanks, I've been looking at all the various stickied threads, and can't find what I am looking for, which is why I was asking for some help.
I was hoping someone could point me right to what I need. None of the ROMS I found in there are the complete ODIN packages.
You don't need a bootloader to correct this problem
I'm going to echo everybody else's statements, you don't need to flash any new bootloaders.
No offense OP, but I'm pretty sure you don't know what bootloaders are.
The Wikipedia page on bootloaders
Use 512.pit file and check repartition.
Some good info here as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
Read my previous post. This WILL fix your problem.
Thanks for your responses everyone,
Several times I've tried reflashing the stock ROM and PIT file (and selecting partition), and each time I've ended up with the same result - I get the T-Mobile and Galaxy S boot screens, and then the phone goes black and stays there.
The only way I can get my phone to boot up is using Eugene's No Brick ROM.
You can read more about my initial problem here.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
You're supposed to flash eugene's then jfd with repartition checked. I've had the same exact brick before (my only legitimate soft brick) and this is the solution.
Edit: Have you been able to check your partitions in adb shell? Check mount and see if they are rfs or ext4.
Thanks Sdobron - I've done that many times, and after doing jfd (T959UVJFD) with a re-partition, I get the soft brick again.
If I check adb, my partition is rfs.
This is why I am so confused. It's like my phone shows no signs of why there should be an issue, and everything I try doesn't work.
So I was never into rooting phones I never really cared that much and my friend said it was really awesome so he rooted my phone then never told me anything to do with it so I seriously didn't change a single thing. I also guess he didn't mention you can't reset factory settings which is what I did and it is stuck on the samsung logo. I searched for this and read the "flash odin" that means zero to me. I absolutely have no idea what any of that is, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
Alas, I don't have any links to give you, but hopefully I can clarify what you need to do.
Odin is simply a program that is used for flashing software to your phone. All you do is download said program, as well as a recovery file and a PIT file (which is what is used to repartition the phone's internal memory). Your safest bet is to download the DL09 package, which will get you back to the stock android 2.1 that your phone came with. From there you can run your phone's system update to upgrade to the current version. There are instructions on how to flash through Odin, so I won't go into that. What you'll want to look for, though, is a full odin package, which means that it includes EVERYTHING, and you won't have to flash the system, radio, modem, etc. separately.
Hopefully that clears things up a bit. I was in the same boat as you recently.
EDIT: The most important thing to do is relax. I know it's scary to get such a bad error on your first crack into rooting, but Odin makes it REALLY hard to brick this phone. It's a little intimidating at first, but once you start flashing through Odin, no android issue will phase you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746 This is the thread I used when I screwed up my Fascinate. May it serve you well.
Ok, you will definitely be able to get out of this situation. Try this link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZAF3hzDIHSMEkf0QcFs2cLLrF5PmOUEXcM268FoIzk/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKqWypcP for some basic info. Look through these forums/internet and download ODIN (any version should do). Find a link to the DL09, ED01, or ED04 odin files for the full rom and a link for the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Make sure the samsung usb drivers are installed on your PC for your phone. Pull the battery. Open up ODIN. plug in the usb to your computer and phone. Hold down the "volume down" button until a yellow android comes up for your phone that says "downloading". At this point ODIN should turn yellow in the first box. Click "Pit" and select the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Click PDA!!! and select the rom that you downloaded. Hit "Start" and wait about 5 minutes until ODIN turns green and tells you "success". Disconnect the USB. Put battery back in. Boot up and hopefully you should have a stock phone back. All of your settings will be gone and you may have to OTA upgrade to the latest ROM through verizon, but all your data on the SD card will still be there. Good luck!

I would recommend against the ED01. That's a leaked ROM, and if you ever need to send your phone in for Warranty, they'll know you were up to no good. DL09 and OTA update is usually the safest bet.

EB01 was the leaked Froyo ROM. ED01 was the first official Froyo build released from verizon/samsung. Since then there has been official upgrade builds of ED03 and ED04. The newest, ED05 is a leak. So no problem flashing ED01. I personally prefer to flash DL09 then let the phone OTA to ED04.
