Hi, I searched the forums and can't find an answer for my softbrick. I was trying to push a recovery file into system/bin after i changed recovery to recovery.bak. I clicked R/W when I pushed it, but when I looked again it was still R/O and the recovery.bin i pushed was 0.00kb (guessing it didn't go through). After, I tried booting into CWM Recovery and now I'm stuck at the Samsung Vibrant screen when you first turn on the phone.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. Thanks for any help.

Odin back to stock?
Look in the Bible.
Edit: The Vibrant Bible.
You need to get into recovery and Odin back to stock and go from there. Look for the Bible and read all of it, that saved my phone a million times. Good luck!!
Next time ask in the Q&A ;-)

First things first. You need to get to download mode so you can Odin.
If you turn her off then plug in a USB cable connected to a PC while holding both volume buttons and the yellow screen comes up, you win. Just read up on using Odin. Otherwise try a jig. I hear Irish works best.

Of course, this is never as easy as you think its gonna be -
Got to Download Mode, opened up Odin, got the .pit in, but when I get to the .tar file (that i got from here http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/ ) Odin can't find any .tar files from the JFD extract folder. They're all .rfs and an .lfs files.
Also, I searched the forums and the Bible and shiz for both the .pit and .tar and only got one hit that lead to a discontinued link.
Am I doing something wrong or are the .rfs/.lfs files correct? Can anyone lead me to a good download for the .tar? (Google and samsung.com are useless... )

Apparently I'm just an idiot. I extracted the first .tar file I had and that's where I went wrong. Thanks again.
Ran into another wall -
My phone was rooted when I softbricked. After I Odin'd, I couldn't find superuser. I tried using superoneclick again but its failing at
Getting mount path...
rootfs / rootfs ro 0 0
FAILED
Supwiddit? Also, is it true that 2.1 Eclair is terrible?
I'm gonna Kies update to 2.2 then try superoneclick again.
I'll keep y'all posted (I know the anticipation is just killing you, right?)
EDIT: Update was successful, superoneclick was again unsuccessful. Got the same error as said above. Any ideas?
EDIT2: I got it, forgot to unmount the sd card -_____- thanks again for the help guys

2.1 is eaasier to root, just put the update.zip on the phone, go to recovery, reinstall packages and done
Here are the two files, update is the superuser, and update clockwork is recovery.
1. Put the files in the root of your phone storage.
2. reboot to (Stock) recovery
3. reinstall packages, you are rooted.
rename the update file to something else, and then rename the clockwork file update. Repeat the above steps to install Clockwork Mod Recovery
View attachment update.zip
View attachment UpdateClockwork.zip
As long as you are on JFD 2.1, and have not Kies Mini updated to Froyo yet, you should be Shiny. If you did update, I would try the modified 3eRecovery installer again.

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

No i completely understand what you are saying that is why i am doing my best to take anyones advice who might know more about this than i do (which is probably everyone). is there anything out there than can just give me a step by step as to what to do in the safest manner to accomplish putting 2.2 on my phone? because so far the closest i have came is receiving a E:failed to verify whole-life signature along with a E:signature verification failed message trying to install the update through clock work manager thanks for your help and advice

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.

what the heck im seriously confused lol. the reason why i wanted the pit is because i was having issues with dev block mounting in recovery so i used the .pit in odin and reflashed the older recovery pasterbenut posted in his thread but now all my phone does is boot into the bootloader and the weird thing is the samsung splash dosnt come up i tried reflashing the stock dl17 rom through odin and the same thing happens i can get into recovery if i install it but i still get the dev block error or whatever it is lol
That's because that is the PIT for EC07 stock.... Which one were you looking for? Either way, if you aren't getting the boot screen, you'll probably have to flash the EC07 stock, then flash DL17, with the appropriate PIT. So far as i know, EC07 stock is the only one with bootloaders on it.
Sorry bout that. I guess i should've asked which PIT you needed. Either way, grab EC07 real production.tar from the dev section, and flash it with that PIT and go from there.

I am desperate for help!!! I was trying to create a backup after I rooted my phone and instead of the backup I bricked my phone.
It does not boot now only goes to Download Odin mode.
This was what I was going to post BUT somehow before I finished the post somehow I fixed my phone lol,
I found the 4.3 file name I337UCUEMJ6, here is the link mega.co .nz/#!jlgFzTbI!SkfLslDY yEOaFxDAaGIyfGSyJ89v7wLHkm5ZVkVC43M
then what I did was unzipped the downloaded files into my Odin folder,
Opened Odin and selected the options in the picture that I attached, PIT (JFLTE_USA_ATT16GB.pit and PHONE (modem.bin) i clicked start and my phone rebooted and it is now working,
This was an accident, hopefully I can help few other idiots(no offence) like me who bricked their phones running 4.3
I have no idea how I managed to unbricked my phone but I just restarted it and it seems to be ok.
sorry for the broken link just erase the empty spaces
This is what happens when we don't read. It's obvious how you fixed it. For future reference, you cannot install a recovery on any device that is post MDL. That means MF3 and newer.

These are the stock files I purchased from a persian site for 12$ since nobody had them posted on the forums. Flashed with the latest unmodded Odin. I also had the benefit of suddenly getting data toggle with it after flashing the AP file. Not sure if everyone else will get it too.

It works. However, you REALLY need to run the V15 fix script.. The older builds ran like crap, even with the fix script, however with APK1, my phone runs normal and doesn't overheat. However, if you don't run that script with APK1, your phone will run sluggish and hot.
yeah i do aware abt bad lagging after rooted.. anyways my phone is on rooted with Fixes V15 and xposed install with XtouchWiz module so i can use tethering for my laptop/tablet while i am away from home. but no Toggle Data for me.. maybe bad luck but i did odin 4 files and factory reset..
Thanks for this files!
Is this the Stock AT&T PK1 that I have on my phone with the last OTA dated Nov. 1
I downloaded all these files, deleted .rar off the end so Odin would recognize the files (did i do that right?), plugged all 4 files in to the right spots and tried to flash them. I’ve used Odin plenty of times and haven’t had any problems before but I am far from an Odin master. This time I just get stuck at file analysis after i click the start button. Any idea what i could be doing wrong?

You need to decompress the RAR files first using something like 7-Zip (it will extract files with a tar.md5 extension). Those are the files you use in Odin.
Been having an issue with my ATT S7 when it goes to do some kind of OTA update and fails, then my apps start randomly crashing and of course I decide to reboot. When I reboot I get stuck on the white att screen. This is the second time is has happened, first time I just did a factory reset and was back up and running. Well today it went to do an update, update failed and I am back at a white screen again. I decided to start researching what the newest firmware was and can’t seem to get a straight answer. I also have no idea what bootloader I am on and so on…From what I can tell is PK1 is the newest firmware am I right?!? No idea where to check what bootloader I have…

When i flashed the APK1 files it hung on file analysis for about a good 5 min. I was fixing to reset and try again and it finally got past that part. I'm not sure why it took so long. The APK1 files are the latest files for the G930A. It is bootloader 4. What version of odin are you using.

I've tried using odin 3.10.6 and 3.12.3...both always hang and i've waited way past 5 mins. I'll try again though and let it go for a long time, you do all 4 of them at a time right? Or do you do BL first, then AP and so on?

I thought you just extracted the zip files to a folder and used them then to put into Odin slots. After unzipping they are MD5 files. At least that is what mine say after unzipping. CORRECT????

I figured that was the case too but odin doesnt recognize .rar files. I looked at the files i downloaded and they were named '.tar.rar'. Odin recognizes .tar files so i figured id just delete the .rar and it would work but nope you have to open the rar files in WinRar or whatever program you like and extract the MD5 files. Then plug those MD5 files in odin and it will go through just fine. PK1 feels pretty sexy so far!
