Bricked phone trying to downgrade from froyo 2.2

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..

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).

[Q] Someone please help!!!

ok i recently got a european open to all networks samsung galaxy tab,
now i decided to install a custom rom last night with horrible results, my phone is now stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not load properly,
here are the steps i took that ended me up in this mess,
i installed rom manager from android market,
then installed clockwork mod from inside rom manager, following the exact steps i was given but heres where i think i went wrong,
at some point it asked u back up everything onto an sd card, now i thought i had an sd inside it already but i didnt and thats what i think caused all the trouble,
i backed up all my files anyway onto the internal memory b4 goin into recovery mode, after completely wiping the phone as it saids u shud do, i then proceeded to load the modaco rom that i had installed into the "download" section of my memory and thats where it said the exact following words....
Checking /system...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. checking...
checking /date...
checking /database...
checking /cache...
filesystems need to be converted to ext4.
a backup and restore will now take place.
if anything goes wrong, your backup will be named before-ext4-convert-1297008631. try restoring it incase of error.
E:failed to mount /sdcrard (no such file or directory)
now i've tried restoring it and backing it up but all it repeats is the same thing, i know i messed up but now all i want to know is how can i fix it?
please any help would be much appreciated.

A brandnew start from scratch with Odin and repartioning with the rom from Rotohammer JMIv1.0 or v2.0 wouldt be my advice. You need the pit-file as well. Can be found on his server.

First extract the P1000XWJJ3.rar. You shouldt be left with a single tar-file?! If so
Well if you have the right files. Start Odin. On the left you see the option 'repartion', tick that box. On the left you see pit. Tick that box and load the pit-file. Tick the box PDA and load the tar.file you extracted.
Start the tablet in download modus and attach it to youre pc. You shouldt see on top left a yellow box. Then just press start in Odin
beware that all on yore tablet will be deleted.
here is a very good guide with pictures.

Ok great. at least you got it working again....
Now you need to flash the baseband-modem that you can find in the download link below. Flash it in Odin. Uncheck repartion. Check 'phone' and load the modemfile you downloaded. Its a tar.file. Leave it as it is. Then press start and the baseband will be installed.
Then you have to set-up the APN from youre telecom-provider and you will be up and running.....

ok i downloaded the p100-radio-xxjmf.tar file and followed the instructions u gave but it failed and said this message...
<ID:0/004> set up connection.
<ID:0/004> cant open the serial (COM) port.
OSM All threads completed ( succeeded 0/ failed 1)
i dont understand why it would say that, could it be cos the .tar is xxjmf and the Rom by roto uses jmi? u think u could help? thanks again honestly, you've been a life saver.

Hey mate, seems I am in a similar predicament here. Just 2 days back I flashed my Tab to Roto JMI v2 from a stock Asian firmware (DDJK3 I suppose) due to a bad Modaco flash that went really bad. Wiped off my data from god knows what areas. Now I am facing an issue that I am not able to understand or solve.
I was using Titanium Backup to remove a system app without Chuck Norris mode, which meant I had to reboot device and it would delete it OS level and say reboot to system. But once I click on reboot system an Exclamation mark just comes across the screen and NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO my system. neither to i see the options it was earlier showing me upon Pwer + Vol Key up. The only option left for me is to reflash it using Odin.
Any Ideas mate? Reflashing again and again is not the solution right?
Thanks & Cheers!

Well, first of all. Removing system app ad hoc is not really clever to do. But you cant get into the recovery so you are able to clear cache and do a factory-reset? Volume-up+Power on and holding the volume-upbutton untill you get into the recovery?
If not you have to reflash from scratch with Odin. Use the pit/file and check repartion.

Could any help me fix this problem (Galaxy S I9000 Andriod 2.2)

Story:
I installed/downloaded Odin versions: SpeedMod K13E with HZ=500 from http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-download-speedmod.html
and followed the instructions from http://apcmag.com/how-to-update-your-galaxy-s-with-android-22.htm
and now i rebooted my phone to see if it works but it came out as this (plz look at the attachment)
Basically, i installed a speedmod and once its finished downloading I turn off my phone and turn it on again and then it cam up as that. I try to reconnect it to the computer but it does not do any thing. I need help please

Can you access download mode? Try pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. If you can, then flash with Odin a stock ROM.

I can't I tried many times... I might try again though. by the way the OS version of my phone (andriod 2.2) I think is not official. I follow the instructions from here: http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s/

I just tried going to download mode and its works. How do I get the stock ROM? Do i Just have to plug into Odin and thats it?

you need to download a stock firmware from samfirmwares or the like, and then flash it through ODIN. As long as you can get it into download mode, follow the instructions in one of the numerous guides in this forum. There is also a post with links to all the stock firmwares in this general forum.
EDIT:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm < here is the firmwares, you need to register to download, go for the XXJPY version for android 2.2.1. There is also a guide to use ODIN on here too. You might need to reflash the PIT file if the first attempt at reflashing still causes the phone to not work.
Guide to flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596

(Beat me to it ) I'd also suggest registering with the website samfirmware.com (it's free), then going here http://tinyurl.com/38m5t77 and download the correct ROM for your phone. With the correct ROM downloaded, simply flash it using Odin.
Why not try Gingerbread (2.3.3)? You can download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901 (make sure you thoroughly read prior to updating).

If u can go into download mode, go into download mode.
Then u can try with EZBase, it's an easy way to put a simple 2.2.1 ROM on your phone, with all the ROM needs.

Its fine already I downgraded it back to 2.2 and it works properly. I won't do anything more. Thnx again

right click on odin and run as administrator. it will work for you.
and by the way dont go for Indroid 4.0 instead download and flash 4.1 after installing it flash the fugmod 2.2 kernel and everything will be alright. Dont panic, there is a solution for everything.

Thanx I wil try it and let you all no how it gose. But the main problem is..... Odin is not working on my Laptop or on one oder pc. When I start the flaching with Odin I get the message from windows "Odin is not working anymore and most be close"

Try downloading another version of ODIN.. You can find one in kyrillos' rom thread.. Also I would recommend flashing kyrillos' rom .. Its the most stable rom in my opinion

You will get a folder named "flashing tools" when you extract kyrillos' rom... Also before flashing kyrillos' rom flash "stock jpf" .. Once you flash kyrillos v5.5 be very patient it takes a long time to boot.. Good luck

Well you must use the new version of ODIN or if it still runs into errors,go to CWM on your phone and format system,data and cache and then try to flash the stock ROM via ODIN.
