What option did you select? I know you mentioned Odin already but did you try to go back to stock or you used it for something else? Did you leave the Re-partition checkbox on or off @ Print?

Since we don't know what you did, and you have done so many things since. Do this:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Good luck
Try going back to CWM and do Factory Reset, clear cache, Wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions, the reboot but pull the battery out.
You didn't specify what exactly you have already done, so I'm just thinking of things I would do.
I know you mentioned Odin, did you use it to flash back to stock 2.1?
If not, do it thru here,

find the DL09 Verizon official odin package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451 . it will update EVERYTHING including radio to DL09. Then re root using ADB again. get CWM using CWM install thread here on XDA, then flash this rom. done.
make sure you flash DL09 in "PDA" NOT "phone" using ODIN.
so please dont mind my ignorant qquestions.. but im not familier with odin ive read a bit about it.. but do i need to unroot before i do that.. or not.. and cant i just say f adb and use a one click at that point?
Before you install the complete stock DL09 package posted above (which is resistant to one-click rooting, by the way), consider this option:
1. Download the DL09 modem by itself here: http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09modem.tar
2. Download Odin here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. Pull battery from device
4. Launch Odin
5. Hold volume down button and plug device into computer
-This will place the device into download mode
6. Verify device shows up in odin
7. Click "PDA" button in odin
8. Select "DL09modem.tar" from where you downloaded it
9. Click "Start"
10. Congratulations - you now have the DL09 modem installed. Now you're ready to install your froyo build using Clockwork recovery. Might I suggest this (http://www.mediafire.com/?f282mms2jb2ra2q) one?
If you are on windows just use Odin. It is very easy and you are okay if rooted. Just make sure you read instructions. There is one button that can be painful if you don't know what you are doing.

Do you know who created Odin?
Maybe we can request him/her to release another version of the app without the "phone" button.

I always assumed it was a Samsung designed product but I don't know. I also hypothesized that it is not just for Android and that the phone button is for feature phones but I really have no idea and have not cared enough to research it.

Granted, it seems like an involved process, but most advice posts group most of these steps into one, like saying "Flash DL09 modem in Odin" without actually explaining how to do so, since there are other posts that can be found in this forum with these more detailed instructions.
Believe me, if you flash the entire DL09 stock package, rooting will be much harder to do. If you flash this package, you probably will have to root using adb again, since as far as I know no one-click root method has worked consistently on the stock DL09 ROM.
and i need to root again b4 flashing 2.2 i have rom manager and titainium backup.. .so to save all of my paid apps.. i just back them up using ti backup right???
and one more thing.. the link you posted for 2.2 theres no info on it.. what makes it so special

If you only installed the DL09 modem using Odin, you shouldn't have to root again... if you installed the entire DL09 package, you will need to re-root.
Regarding Titanium Backup, go ahead and back up your apps, use Clockwork recovery to install your DL30 build, then reinstall Titanium Backup and do a batch restore (I'm assuming you already know how to use Titanium Backup, but I'll be glad to walk you through it if you don't). You should only back up and restore user apps, NOT system data! (choose "backup all user apps" from the batch menu when backing up, and choose either "restore missing apps with data" when restoring - do NOT choose "restore missing apps + all system data"). Restoring system data after making the jump from Eclair to Froyo is almost guaranteed to cause problems.
ur going to get all kinds of thanks ur awesome dude.. ok backup is done.. u said to use clockwork recovery to install dl30.. i just use odin. for d109 and then put the dl30 file on my sd card and install it through clockwork??? right.. n can i backup contacts too??? or will google save them?? and theres no chance of losing pictures or nething else on my sd card is there??

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... had to take a powernap... you shouldn't lose anything on your sd card... I've flashed countless ROMs, kernels, themes, etc. without losing anything. Contacts should be good, too. Just to be safe, though, you might want to make sure your contacts and calendar appointments are saved and/or synced to your google account and not just stored on your phone.

yes they are.. awesome.. well im gong to give my daughter a bath put her to bed.. and go for it ill def let you know how it goes.. thank you sooooo much
I have a faulty samsung i think.
When starting the phone up it shows the startup screen but does not show anymore than that :S
What can I do.??!
If you haven't already done anything bring it in. This should really be covered by your warranty
well it just tried going into recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset to try and fix it without succeed. then i copied files from my other galaxy s over to it via usb and pc. then i was able to go into Clockwork Mod Recovery and delete data. but now it will not start up more than the start screen

Well i think you semi-bricked your sgs.
Confirm that your 3 button download mode works, read up on this in the stickies.
After you have done that, read the stickies on how to flash a stock rom through odin.
That would be my suggestion.
The three button download works. but im not sure what to do with it from there
Oh you have not just bought it? I'm an idiot
in that case:
Have you flashed a gingerbread rom and a Froyo custom kernel?^^
In any way the problem is the ROM - kernel combination, just flash a full rom over it and you should be fine
and that has to be through ODIN?
I cant get usb connection with it because it only reaches start screen

start the galaxy in down load mode using the three button combo...
take an stock rom with three files ( PDA, PHONE & CSC ), tick re-partition and auto-reboot, F. Reset time. Use a suitable .PIT file and flash it.
there are so many tutorials and videos in XDA and youtube.

How can I be sure that they are the right files for the phone when I can not go into it and check version on the phone
as long as you have the international I9000 then any stock firmware should do the job.
its only if you have the bell version or the captivate version you need to make sure you have the right firmware.
I got it done now. Its great.
Only thing is that its not in my language now (Danish). Ive tried to go to settings but danish is not an option there. How do I install the danish language

You need to flash a ROM which includes a multi CSC file.
Or you can cook your own http://romkitchen.org and select your needs then flash through CWM.
Which ROM did you flash?
FYI: I'm using v9.9.5 from http://romkitchen.org/sgs it has 'Dansk' language.

i am pretty sure you did the above things in the stock recovery. you need clockworkmod recovery for that.
now as you cannot boot, you cannot copy cwm file to ur memory card. so the option you have is to flash the stock rom
you can view my video here

lol, i also need a haircut.
1. yes you need to extract the files
2. u need the updated files. no need to download the package
3. you need odin. not included in the update, google search it, odin v1.5
4. after you open odin, you'll understand by urself how to load the files
5. update rar needs no pit. so select only pda, modem and csc
6. pda->PDA_S5360_DDLK2.tar
modem/phone ->MODEM_S5360_DDLK1.tar
csc->CSC_S5360_ODDLK1.tar
7. click start and you are done.
8. instead of saying thanks, you can just press the button, takes less time than typing "thanks"
I can't understand why you had an error flashing that rom. You really don't need cwm in flashing that. I successfully flashed it using stock recovery. Well, maybe i'm just lucky.

use evo-x3/x4 they are awesome ROMs. kernel can be Hell's Fusion kernel#50. Really good.
for internal memory, create memory card 2nd partiton and use links2sd

Note: I may not use terms correctly, I have spent the past hour reading threads similar to mine in order to (hopefully) use the correct terms to describe my predicament.
I was using TriForce ROM 3.0 and I wanted to mix things up a bit because it was too much like the stock ROM. I found Negalite S4 and tried my hand at that, with devastating consequences. I booted my phone into TWRP did a wipe and then proceeded to install the Negalite S4.zip onto my phone. It got stuck in a boot loop. After a good 30~ minutes of it continuously rebooting I turned it off and booted back into TWRP. However, now that my phone was wiped, it is not a recognized device by my computer any longer. Since I wiped the phone clean the .zip is no longer on my phone either. So, all I have now is a phone that can boot into recovery (TWRP); which is a soft-brick (correct me if I'm wrong).
I have read other threads and the xda community informs the user to use KIES or ODIN (I have used ODIN once before). However, try as hard as I can to understand their directions... I don't know what to do with ODIN.
My computer does not recognize my device at all. It will only boot into recovery otherwise it's stuck in an infinite boot loop. I am really scared that I have ruined such a valuable phone and so I am not thinking clearly - which is only adding to my "noobishness."
Can anyone please help me out in a way that I can understand? All help is much appreciated!

Okay, download and install Samsung drivers from the Internet if your phone isn't installing them on its own. Download MDL stock. Open ODIN. Put your phone in download mode. ODIN should see your phone. Flash stock MDL. Use goo manager to install TWRP again after your booted on stock MDL. Or use ODIN to do it. Redownload the custom ROM you want and then flash in TWRP. Also wiping the phones dalvik, cache system ect shouldn't have erased your SD card in the first place. You mist have accidentally checked the wipe SD card in advanced wipe options. You never need to do that. So next time also have a nandroid backup on your external SD. I keep one on internal as well in case external card goes bad cause sometimes that happens. And never select that wipe SD card option. Unless of course you really do want to wipe your SD card. Don't do that and keep a full backup of your last working ROM and you'll not have this problem again.

Thank-you for the detailed response, I'll get started now! I did wipe the SD card, you're right. I'm so glad that you posted, thanks again.
If I need help I'll edit this post (no bumping within 24 hours). I'm hoping I have enough smarts to knock this out though. Again, thank you so much.
EDIT: Excuse my ignorance. I'm not sure what MDL stock is, I figured it was the default ROM - I have a nandroid of that. However, even after re-installing the samsung drivers, rebooting both my phone and computer - nothing happens. I don't know how to proceed from here. I can imagine I'm becoming a pain and do apologize.

The link above is the tar file for stock MF9. If you just use the link for the from the first post you just need to download the first file (not the kernel). Once downloaded you need to extraxt that zip and you will get a .tar.md5 file from it. Later open odin and make sure only auto reboot is checked. Click on the PDA slot and find the .tar.md5 file you downloaded click on it. Next put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer. Wait for it to install drivers and you will see a yellow box with "com:[some number]" once you see that click start and from there let it do its thing and whoola you have your phone back to MF9 stock. Good luck!

Well, you did it! That post is solid, I understood every-bit! My phone (most likely) is downloading the firmware now. I don't know how long it will take to get off the "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" screen, but I'll edit this post after letting it sit over night! Thank you both so much.

Your welcome glad to help again, should take less than 10 mins. If its more than that just reboot your computer and repeat the steps from opening odin and finding your file. Another GS4 saved ;D

You were right, it was quite snappy. I cannot believe I was so panicked over this! My babies safe ... for now.
So how did Twrp wipe nor SD card? When by boot into recovery and immediately click on Wipe, it'll wipe everything Necessary except the internal and external memory. Did you click the option to choose what you want to wipe? Happens more than ya may think, cause I've done it myself lol. Good to hear it's back up, I still get freaked out by those occurrences

It wasn't human error through TWRP, it was an error while flashing Negalite. It asks if you want to wipe everything, data, or nothing at all. Silly me thought let's wipe EVERYTHING! Heheh

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to restore if you can get into Download mode, unless either your USB port is messed up or the restore image is corrupted. Check the md5 of the stock restore image you're trying to use, and try a different cord and/or a different USB port on your computer.
Also make sure you're not trying to downgrade to BOD5 or earlier if your bootloader is BOE1 or above, because you can't downgrade.
I can get into download mode, if I flash something else via odin works also it flash the .img it's the bok3 I've done it before, but now nothing work and it's hellllll! I also flashed PB1 that is post on the tread.

What exactly happens after you click the button to flash the stock image file in Odin? Odin should say OK and the phone should reboot. What happens after that?

Indeed, it says ok, then it flash the .img and says successful and it reboot the phone like it should. But, then when it start, it's just like it was before, but without root
Make sure you got installed buisy box and safe strap . Install recovery from ss , go to super su and update and make sure is granting the app . Now install NI2 SS flasher for lollipop and make sure super su grant access . Run NI2 and go in the ss. Full wipe then install whatever rom and whatever match firmware with no bootloader then reboot.

Try booting into stock recovery mode (hold home + vol UP + power), and clear cache from there and then reboot.
If that doesn't work, do the same thing but do "factory reset" from stock recovery.

In the safestrap , wipe and just flash the rom then the bok3 firmware ( your choice for rom and firmware , bok3 or pb1 ) . When is done and you see the SS home splash just reboot to download mode ( if not working do it manual ) and odin the og5 bootloader just in case https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347768483. Done , wait 5 minute , if not working reboot recovery manual and wipe data , factory reset and cache. Is this clear enough ?
Yes, was CLear enough, but it didn't work...
as the last resource I try to fix it with the Verizon app and also with kies. Both reboot and reset the phone, but it is still laggy and the apps wont open soon but after long time... also will freeze for a long time. do you think have something to do with core system?

A reset will resolve just about any issue caused by software. You might be looking at a hardware issue.
Install a system monitor app of some kind to see if any processes are really busy.
It's a long shot, but the only thing that comes to my mind is to remove the microSD card: if that resolves the issue, it means your processor is busy chewing on indexing all the media files on your microSD card and may be getting hung up on a corrupted file. If that does nothing, you might have bad RAM or something.

Thanks, antutu it's fine?
And maybe the SD card as it won't read it fast.. and when I try to access to the SD it maybe freEze or slow down... I'll check it out
Yes, for being slow I'm pretty sure was the SD car as I removed it and it feels more smooth, do you know if there is a way to keep the SD in the phone?

First, try opening the SD card on your computer and searching for files of size "0 kb", (that's zero). If you see any media files that are zero kb, delete them. They are corrupted and are causing your phone's media indexing to get stuck in a loop. Symptoms of this issue are slow performance and the phone running hot from trying to process the file continuously. A battery-use examination or performance monitoring app will reveal "android media process" as the offender.
If this does not resolve the issue, you need to take more extensive action. First, copy everything on the SD card to your computer, then format the SD card using the phone, and then copy the data back to the freshly-formatted SD card. Then double-check it for files with a "0 kb" size.
If the problem persists, a last resort would be getting a new microSD card.
