Okay, I know there is many post about this, but none seem to answer my question or help me. I have a Vibrant and I've been searching this site along with google to help fix my phone.
I brought it off a friend so warranty won't happen since T-Mobile is being asses. My phone is suck on the black screen after it passes the big S logo. It stays black, and I get 4 lights bright on the buttons. I've reflashed my phone with Odin and it has not worked. I think it correctly as well. Com3 was on, ran the stock Vibrant with Pitt and Tar with PDA one. That had only got my phone off the complete brick that my phone had gone through, when It wouldn't even turn on.
I got the brick off and now I'm stuck with this program. I did have a one click root fix and I was trying to mess around with clock work. To help answer some questions. No, I can not boot into recovery mode. Yes I have cleaned and wipe out cache. Yes I can go into Download mode, but its pointless since odin doesn't do much for me. No I can not go into the phone since the black screen is there and no I can not flash a update file for some reason.
Saying that, I would be grateful for some help and before hand I thank anyone who comes across this even if they don't help, just for taking time to read this and maybe referring someone else to help me or even pointing me in the right direction. Thanks and once again PLZZZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP.
No, odin is not "useless." I'm pretty positive that you applied Odin wrong.
- Check the MD5 on the files you downloaded; verify they are indeed identical.
- Search for development forum for "drivers"... theres a thread posted by TGA_Gunner. Find that thread and download the version respective to your OS (x86 or x64). This one is proven to work.
What exactly happened in Odin?

Okay. One thing I notice when I try to put my phone into the Android system recovery it says this "
-- Movi_check start .. !!
checksum confirmation need _checksum [1301305579]
MBR _Chksum in header :4.1
MBR checksum : EC0063A432AFDBA2B104C3F0DF52FE3D
MBR Checksum Error
Movinand Checksun Confirmaton Fail
-- movi_checking done!...
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Muti - CSC ...
Installing Muti - CSC "
Another thing, I hit reinstall packages and It says "
-- install from sdcard...
finding update package ...
opening update package ...
E: cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted.
the drivers I use are the samsung Vibrant drivers for windows 7 64. I know it works because the phone before didn't come up when I didn't use the driver. It always failed and when I install it, than it read my phone. When I connect the phone to the computer, the phone does read it and on odin, it says com 3 in yellow. I than Install pitt and install tar.
The tread you sent me too, I actually went through there before. Both of those drivers didn't work but I found one for windows 7 and it started working for my computer. I could tell it works because the computer actually reads the phone and so does odin. Like I use odin right because it goes through the phone and than says pass at the end. so like WTF lol. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right tho
Another thing. I used odin a few seconds ago, got the phone to run and it went through the green bar and a blue screen now saying reset came up. My phone than went into androids recovery mode but it started to wipe out data. When doing so, the data said wipe fail. It booted up and now back to the start. Black screen, 4 panels on the bottom lit up and nothing to do.
I'm starting to think it has to do with clockwork I did a partition in it and every since than my phone has been doing this blackscreen with 4 lights.
ANY body ?
help would def be appreciated and even donates if possible. I just need my phone to work
same thing here, know idea, odin says everything passed but still the black screen and four buttons. i also noticed that the sound and tmo splash screen are not in sync. no idea ???? help would be great!!!!!!!!!!! same errors though. also from the partion feature in clockworkmod.
i assume your on windows i don't keep up if there is a working version for mac. Anyway, make sure your update.zip is just named update DO NOT add .zip yourself or the phone for what ever reason sees .zip.zip. I would also go ahead re download your odiin files just to make sure non of them are corrupted for what ever reason.
files all check out good, i can't gain access to the phones sd, i have flashed this thing with every checked build i could find, all with the same result. the master boot record is not adding up.? still have know idea.
have you tried using this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558
this work for me and was able to flash to stock..
somebody please help I'm experiencing the same problem as the OP? can somebody point me in the right direction I've been looking for hours
Instead of making us read the entire thread perhaps you could summarize your specific problem.
My initial impression goes like this.
1. Get into download
2. ODIN back to STOCK 2.1
Run odin in admin mode
Use rage against the cage
After getting back to stock Recovery 2e go ahead reroot and flash away
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Don't know if this is still an issue, but here's how I fixed it.
http://forum.androidspin.com/showth...yo-That-does-not-Brick!-Downgrading-Is-Fine-)
Downloaded this file knowing it wouldn't work, Had ODIN flash it and got into this weird recovery screen. Just pulled the battery and then flashed back to stock using ODIN.
Helped me out.
Use 512 .pit and True Stock 2.1 from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747335
And quit messing with your phone! lol
This is how i fixed mine too, my phone would go through a seemingly normal start up, but the UI would never load and it would stay on a blank screen.
Flash Eugenes373s froyo that doesnt brick. once it brings you to the recovery screen, pull the battery and once again use odin to flash back to stock. the phone should boot up now.

Help needed please!
I'm trying to install Dexters Mod update and I keep getting the same results, it reads:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted
Formatting misc...
I've formatted my SD card. I've tried renaming the file with a capital U, lowercase u, etc. I've wiped the unit....nothing works.
My SD card worked fine when I installed the Elocity update from their website.
What am I doing wrong? I really want to get that Marketplace installed....
Thanks for your help!
Did you do it from Recovery menu? It's necessary.
elocity
Hi, I need help with this too, I really want the market on my elocity. Thanks

Yes, I did it from the System Update option which puts the unit into the recovery menu. That's the correct way, yes?
It looks like all the Mod files from this site are damaged or corrupted...? I run a test on the download on my computer and there appears to be issues with the download. Has anyone else had this problem???
Any help is greatly appricated. Thanks!
I had trouble with the install also: i was able to enter the recovery mode but it would recognize the update then i would see the android logo and box with arrow then nothing from there this happened several times. I left the card in the unit turned it off then back on , then went to the system update and chose to update , which it did and rebooted then was locked in an Elocity loop. I reset the unit and the market and everything was there. I might of been close to bricking it ,but it works now. Be careful

Sounds like your downloaded zip file was corrupted - this happens often. Try downloading it again and then try to install after that.

This is quite normal. boot loop happens to 90% of users. Its well documented in the development thread. The Android logo you saw is also expected. From there, you're supposed to hit the Menu soft key and use the other soft keys to navigate the recovery console. Also well documented in the development thread.

Thanks sagggas. I've tried to download it about 20 times and I get the same problem. When I run a test on the downloaded zip file my computer says it may be corrupted or incomplete. I don't get it. It's as if the something is wrong with the file, but others seem to have made it work. Any suggestions please??? I'm almost ready to get rid of this device....but since this is the only problem I've had I'm torn!

GetRight Download Manager
Hi
This reminds of a problem I had downloading a large software program a while back. Many people were having the same problem with corrupt files. The company recommended using a download manager called GetRight.
It worked great! It is free to use and you can get it at:
http://getright.com/get.html
Let us know if it works for you.

Jazzbone, that download manager worked perfectly! Once I was able to download the Dexter Mod without it getting corrupted the install went very smoothly.
Thank you sooo much for that suggestion! I can't wait to see what this tablet can do now.

The getright manager is software for your PC to help you download large files from the internet. In our case, the functionality would then allow us to copy the newly downloaded file (apparently with a lower frequency of corruption) from our PC to our SD cards for use in our Android devices.
All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.
Video will be fully live any minute...

Just attempted this and it went terribly wrong
everything was okay until it tried pushing the logo to my sdcard (which failed with "permission denied") - it then said it couldn't copy the file from sdcard because it didn't exist.
I proceeded to unmount the sdcard from the phone and try it again which seemed to work. I shut the phone down and when I attempted to turn it back on it just remained off... I was able to get into download mode with odin 1-click and flash to stock (thank God).
- Serendipity 5.7
- I9000 .rar package
- logo_ATNT.jpg < 20K
was it the unmounting that did the trick? and can I just manually move the file onto /mnt/sdcard/ and edit the .bat file to skip the push?
Worked perfectly for me I love the nexus boot screen with my nexus boot animation Thank you connexion

I'm not sure but it sounds like you didn't make sure that busy box was installed. As for not turning back on, I'm surprised at that. I soft bricked a vibrant building the vibrant files and got out of it but that was my fault pulling the usb cable out accidentally before ODIN was done. The answer to your question is yes, you can just flash the param.lfs tar file, verify busy box apk is installed and so is busy box, then just manually move the file. The script is built for simplicity. I'm sorry you had trouble.

Also, you did let the phone try to boot for a sec right? In some cases when you don't have a boot screen after the flash you won't get a dirty pixel screen but it will be black for the 5-10 seconds it attempts to show you whats there. I just want to make sure you were not prematurely turning the phone off.

yeah, i attempted to turn back on twice (hold power for about 3-4 seconds, wait about 10) after it seemingly succeeded - I pulled battery in between jic.
the .bat file said busybox install failed because it was already installed... how else can I verify that bb is installed?
I'm going to try again once I get another ROM back on my phone because I really want to get at&t off my phone
thanks for your hard work and responses
this was going to be my boot image if anyone wants to use

That will install the application on the phone. But, before you finish the rest of the batch script, you must open the app on the phone and make sure it's installed. It will look and tell you. If it's not click install busybox. When it's done, continue with the batch script. I'd start fresh also btw. Reflash with ODIN on the tar package then launch the script.

Hah, no problem, we all do
I´m a UK user and my A500 is at version 3.01 using build Acer_A500_1.016.05_COM_GEN1 .
I tried to update to 3.1 using file Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1.zip from the xda list supplied by member vache and followed the instructions there to flash the file using the standard recovery procedure. It started to load OK from the external SD card, listing update text messages on the screen but then it stopped loading after just a couple of seconds and displayed the android figure with a triangle containing an exclamation mark (!). I then managed to restart the tablet and got back into version 3.01.
Does anyone have any ideas if I did something wrong in the procedure ?
Thanks

Was the file decrypted first, or not?
Trying to update to 3.1
Member vache said files from him were already decrypted, or so I thought. Anyway, I've tried to locate the Acer decrypter program but cannot find it. If I can find the decrypter I'll try that. Can anyone point me to it please ?

Need help tried to downgrade my Acer A501 with HC3.2 factory installed. As soon as I did the next time I tried to reboot it shows the acer logo and in the top corner says boot verified failed. I have not been able to get it running again. I have tried several different things with no luck. Any help would be awesome. Thanks
You can unlock your A501 with this file
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4CWLBDDN
Then install the 3.01 for A501
http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=76
then make the root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138228&highlight=iconiaroot
sorry if I have forgotten a step, if you have problems ...... well ask
when install the 3.0.1 I get the boot verified problem again. I got it running with a different HC3.2 if the matters. Still would like to root
So ... I thought back to how I did with the same problem.
The first step is correct ....
You can unlock your A501 with this file
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4CWLBDDN
Then you have to use this guide to load the 3.01
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227&highlight=downgrade+3+2
But using this file
http://www.uploadhere.com/4HNOF2RC6Q
then make the root
All file shares are down...
Can someone please provide the tool to unbrick the A501 somewhere, where it really can be downloaded... I really need this file... It's urgent!!!
Seems as if the whole file sharer fraction starts to shiver due to the megaupload issue
I'm uploading the file, stay tuned
....................
What is the status of your tablet, turn on, do not turn on ....
If turn on follow the guide , if do not turn on, hold down the power button until you hear the vibration, start the program that I'm uploading, when he tells you to connect your tablet do it, you wait and a window will appear, follow the instructions.
Good luck ....
P.S. sorry but the uploading is very slow
