Ive been trying to fix the sound issue as mentioned in my other thread... anyways here is the problem i have now:
I had the Trigger 2.2Final rom installed... used Rom manager to flash the Trigger 2.3.5 rom (gingerbread). This did not fix my problem, and has actually been far to buggy on my phone so i want to go back to the froyo Trigger 2.2 rom i had before.
I tried flashing the 2.2 rom in Rom manager but its a no go. How do i go downgrade back to 2.2?!?
follow ALL instructions, to flash back to 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
after flashing, you can upgrade to 2.2 by kies if you want, or you can flash an 2.2 rom through odin. but i recomend do as this topic, back to 2.1 and so upgrade
I wouldn't use kies to upgrade. It has a history of turning your phone into a paperweight

yes, but with this specific rom, you will get no problem at all. did this more than 10 times already, including one 10 min ago, back from cm7 to 2.1, and 2.2 through kies
Just Odin back to 2.1 then flash a 2.2
This is actually the link, the other links are outdated - http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...pps-*-everything&p=11409&viewfull=1#post11409
Thanks, got it! now if i could only figure out how to get my phone to stop thinking its in headset mode
flash 2.2 through odin and reflash ur desired rom.
I REALLLLY NEED HELPPPPPPP!! I have a samsung vibrant (USA VERSION) and i was trying to install froyo 2.2 using odin, Instead, by mistake i flashed the 2.2 european version turning my vibrant into a GT-I9000, now each time i try to reboot my phone into download mode it won't do it, i want to reboot into download mode so that i can reflash my phone back to the american version since now this GT-I9000 isn't reading my tmobile network and i CANNOT make phone calls nor receive them.

I flashed the DI18 update back in November to get one the early Froyo builds. It's worked great for a while, but so many better roms and been released since. So I tried to reboot into bootloader mode tonight to use heimdall to flash the DK28 modem to get some newer roms. No dice. Using the keyboard 1 + power button just results in a normal boot. If I connect via adb and run "adb reboot-bootloader" or "adb reboot bootloader" the same thing happens, just a normal reboot, end up back at the normal home screen.
Anyone have any other ideas or is my phone borked now?
1 and power boots you into Download mode. To get to recovery you need to power up by holding 'down volume', 'camera', and 'power'. If that doesn't boot you into Clockwork, then you need to consider flashing with Odin, which you should probably do anyway since you need to flash to the DK28 modem as well

1 + power doesn't boot me into download mode unfortunately. I can boot into Clockwork just fine. Unfortunately, I'm running Linux so I can't use Odin easily. Either way I don't think it will be able to flash it from device/recovery mode.

When you did DI18 did you use Odin and one of the "Return to Stock" set of files? I think you are fine. Those return to stock files wipe out the clockwork recovery. Just try the "One Click" thread which is a sticky at the top of this forum. That should get you clockwork back. As said above, though, you'll probably want to Odin to DK28. You will need to be able to hold 1 and power up, but mine often fails on the first try or too. Good luck, and I think you're in fine shape, so don't worry. I haven't had a problem yet that Odin couldn't fix, and I've caused a lot of problems on my phone.
EDIT: Just saw your post that came in the same time as mine. I think your best bet is to borrow a friend's PC and Odin back to stock, then go from there.

Dude, the issue is not clockwork. It's his inability to get into download mode. So he cannot use heimdall or odin without getting into download mode.
To the OP why not try noobnl's zip to flash dk28 modem and stock dk28 rom with a couple extras. Maybe that will provide download mode for you.

Yes, that is the one. I would flash the modem first if I was you, it may not make a difference but it seems prudent to do so.
Please post questions in General Section.
Thanks everyone, I ended up rebooting to recovery mode and resetting everything. Re-installed clockwork rom manager and flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861341 but it couldn't connect to the Sprint network afterwards. I flashed the modem update and it seems to be working.
For whatever reason, I still can't get into bootloader mode at all. 1 + power goes to normal boot up. adb reboot does the same thing.
Sorry in advance if im posting this in the wrong thread or if this has been posted before....
I have a Vibrant and i was updating using samsung kies. I never rooted my phone or did and customize things to it. i was going through the updating process when samsung kies said that the update failed and to disconncet my phone. so i disconnected my phone (the screen said download mode and do not turn off target). now when i try to turn my phone on i get a black screen with a phone triangle and computer logo. it will not go in to recovery. cau u please help... thanks
hopefully there is a way to fix this without using odin
odin and download mode there is a thread in development about in the bible i think about unbricking a vibrant, its very hard to brick a vibrant completely, I have done so before, but you can recover via odin.
Your phone is not fully bricked. and your better off than me half the time
How were you trying to boot into recovery if you've never rooted or customized? Your phone is not completely bricked if its turning on so I'm sure there's a fix.

You can boot into recovery without being rooted... i did it before when i wanted to do a hard reset.. plus the tmobile rep wanted me to try and boot into recovery to do a hard reset and clear all user data.

remove the battery for five minutes, then reinsert it. You can now go back to the normal download mode. ANd I think you can even boot up normally. The former scenario happened to me so I am quite sure of that.
THANKS!!!!
big thanks to everyone i got my phone up and running again. i used odin (which was tricky) and followed the steps i saw in a youtube video. right before i was about to give up i called tmobile and ordered a replacement phone ....lol...tried one more time and it worked im SOOOO HAPPY this is a great community of people , couldnt have done it without u guys THANKS AGAIN!
I always brick my baby, and Odin is always there to save me
PLEASEEE!!! help me out i tried upgrading from kies mini to froyo. I did this with success earlier in the past on my old vibrant but had it replaced to a referbished one and i tried upgrading it now.. but my vibrant was stuck at downloading the uprade on kies mini at 1% for half an hour... and the vibrant had the android shoveling yellow sign saying do not turn off target... for half an hour as well.. I knew something was wrong there because it didnt take even close to that long last time..
NOW I tried unplugging the usb wire restarting the phone in emergency mode still nothing... now all i have is a cellphone...yeild sign... computer icon showing..
PLEASE HELP!!!
Dont worry you totally didnt brick your phone. Its pretty common, can you get your phone into download mode? If you can then just odin to stock.
1.Take your battery, sim card and SD card out
2. Plug in USB Cable
3. Hold volume up/down and plug in battery (There are a few ways of doing download mode and I believe its phone specific, or if you have bootloaders installed its different as well, google around a bit...
4. Start odin and presto, your phone works again!
hey thanx... I just did that.. I never used odin but i installed odin with all the files... I believe my vibrant is hardware locked because i was trying to get into download mode for 2 hours with different techniques.. such as just volume keys and power button... taking out the battery holding volume keys then putting it back in.. but nothing put me into a downlaod mode... somehow odin still found my phone while i was still stuck under that picture...
I loaded the .pit file without the jfd image.... becuase i didnt know what window i was suppose to load the jfd image from... like pda.. or etc???
anyway so i just loaded the .pit file and clicked start it reset the phone and the phone went into restart mode and it turned on fine i checked it works fully... lol.
It makes no sense... was i suppose to load the jfd file somewhere?????
i still want to upgrade my vibrant to 2.2... but now whenever i turn on the keis mini it promps me to emergency recovery upgrade... so i tried doing that and went into download mode since now i can.. and plugged in my phone but the progress bar on my computer for upgrading never moved from 0%... its odd... am i doing something wrong?
so again i disconnected and "bricked" my vibrant again lol... went into odin followed the same steps just loading the .pit file and it reset the vibrant back to normal again lol...
Im so confused yet happy that i have my phone working but i still want my froyo... i love the fact that i can use yahoo video messaging on it with froyo and have flash and other benefits..
any advice?
Thanx again
try this...........
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
put pit in pit and tar in pda on odin
Connect it to the PC and see if ODIN recognizes it.
If it does, you are safe, flash stock.
EDIT: nvm, didn't notice the third post was yours.
Anyways, if ODIN can STILL recognize it, get the first from the link on the post above, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and enjoy your again-useful phone.
I had that same issue once.
Try a JIG. And do a search, I see like 50 posts a week like this.
First.
Thank you all for taking your time to help. I have one last question... since I used Odin but it just reset my phone and I didn't flash the old firware on it..... ever since that now I tried to update my phone with kies mini and it says phone unregistered... in that place before it used to say new firmware available and showed old forward numbers/letters.
So if I use odin all the way will this resolve "unregistered device" problem?
Thanx again

Bricked
I have a similar issue, was soft bricked, Odin to stock then, while using Mini Kies to upgrade back to Froyo the phone turned off and never came back on. I cannot get any response from the phone as far as light's or sounds. Checked a few batteries and still no use. I'm curious if anybody else has had a similar experience?
so if it should solve the unregisted problem... where I put in the pda file... is it possible to put in the last froyo there so odin could flash froyo on my phone so basically i wont have to go through kies process?
odin back to 2.1 then root and then flash a 2.2 rom way better then a stock 2.2 rom

Make sure you have the right odin files, once you have gotten back to normal just do a factory reset on your phone if that is possible. Then root, flash, and do whatever you want to do. Without your proper files for odin you'll get bricked or get something different.
How screwed am I? Odin doesn't recognize phone, vibrant aio toolkit can't adb phone into recovery or download mode. Flashing different rom screwed up during kernal phase and I stupidly rebooted phone. I CAN use a jig I bought to get into download mode but computer Odin doesn't 'see' it.

its a refurbished phone.. when i got it.. i uploaded my old pics without a problem with the same usb cable..... its weird.... i dont know what to do? what is it likely the phone itself or i messed it up with kies upgrade????
please help.. its frustrating me
So here is what happened. I made a backup of a stock atrix firmware and copied the backup to my atrix on deodexed 2.3.4. I tried to install the backup but it stops somewhere along the line and says error formatting data.

Bootloops means soft bricks which is not really a problem. When your phone Boots up, press the down key along worth the power button. Then keep pressing down button until you see Android Recovery. Do a factory reset or flash another room once in there.

Sounds like a hard brick indeed. At this moment in time hard bricks are incurable but some people said that taking their battery out and putting it back into their phones solved their problem. You might want to give it a shot.
A guy also claimed thay its possible to unhardbrick your phone using the jtag technique. You might want to read up on it.

There's soo many forums and different avenues to go down! after about 9 hours trying various things to make my atrix (running normal 2.3.4 rooted with no other cm7 or rom or any other mod) i am left with my atrix at the boot screen OR if i leave it to boot it just makes the logging on noises then shows the white screen, then nothing.
I stupidly followed the list to freeze using bloatfreezer. Not the updated list where it reads next to HOME (make sure you have another launcher) so i have frozen 'home' and i am stuck.
i cannot do a recovery because it has that fail message x2 everytime i do the power volume - and + on the android recov.
I am completely lost. i do not understand what hard/soft/adw/ push email/ or other jargon means. If you have any solutions i'd be more than grateful.
I hope i haven't bricked my phone, cos a 2year contract and no new phone is gonna push me near that ledge lol

If you're on AT&T - get RSD lite and find the proper sbf file and flash it. If you were using Gingerbread, make SURE you have a GINGERBREAD sbf file - or else you'll permanently brick your phone. If you're on Bell - you'll need the appropriate file for Bell to flash, same rules apply - If your on gingerbread, make SURE its a gingerbread file you're flashing.

I recently bircked my vibrant with a bad kernel flash, and it wouldn't get past the Vibrant Samsung screen. I fixed it, so I decided to post how I did it here, to hopefully help someone. I am not sure if this works on newer Vibrants. If you have one of the first batch then you should be fine.
Step 1
You need to get ODIN and the stock Samsung/T-Mo 2.2 rom. I am not allowed to post outside links, and the file is too big for an attachment, so you will have to search for it, try googling "Download Samsung Vibrant Stock Rom"
Download all the files and extract them somewhere where you can find them.
Step 2
Once you have those downloaded, start up ODIN, for pda, select the pda (.tar) file you downloaded. For the pit file (make sure you extract it, it should be .pit not .rar or .zip) select the pit file you downloaded.
Step 3
Now, pull the battery, and re-insert it. Make sure your phone is turned off, and hold down VOL+ and VOL-, then plug in the USB cable to your computer, then phone. (DO NOT press the power button on the phone) Wait a second, and the download screen should now show up. Simply press start on ODIN and wait for your phone to get the the unlock screen. All done!
If this worked, please reply and tell me!

ODIN vibrant ROM's
How does one ODIN any other ROM?
My vibrant is bricked with ICS passion v10.6.
What do I need to do to ODIN it to the same ROM?
I'd love to avoid rebuilding from stock....
Amazing! I don't see why this hasn't been posted already........Oh wait

I am not sure of any ROMs that still require odin, as CWM is a lot easier to use. I would reccomend going back to stock, rooting the phone, then installing CyanogenMod. If you're fast enough, you can get it done and have a working phone in about an hour.
Well the only mode I can get on the bricked phone is download mode with the jig.
After that ODIN works. I've never been able to get ADB to play well on this computer.
There is an ODIN version of stock 2.2 I may try if I don't find something newer. Thanks! I did find a guide on how to make an ODIN ROM but it is a bit late for me to do it...

Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S
Trigger 3.2. Overstock v.2.4.1
Thanks, it worked.
Thanks, my brick is now a Vibrant again. After seeing nothing but a boot loop for a week Eclair looks wonderful!!!
Heimdall One-Click was my only hope and remedy for several times, it's capable of installing the right drivers (which not always were SGH-t959!!!) in Download mode, even when Od in wouldn't sede my phone.
