Posted this in the UPGRADING section but it may be better suited here, I'm not completely sure.
So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:
After you flash the android rom, you have to load a system image and data image into it. That may be normal.
Note, I have not flashed mine to Android, but it seemslike your missing the next step in the process.
This may help...
The bottom may help with the bricking and the top may help with android.

nope it isnt bricked just reflash windows and use android via haret...sounds kernel related
With advice from the other thread I'm in bootloader(?) mode
But that's as far as I got.
oh man I'm in trouble said:
So I've gotten back to red/green/blue/white striped screen but nothing will read the phone/let me flash anything to it.
Screen says:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.CoKe

Ok then...you will need to flash another rom. Verizon, is a pain.
Here is NFSFANS ROM windows 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
The files from this forum will contain a program called ROMUpdateUtility. Run that in boot mode. Then run NFSFANS verizon provisioning. all files are on that forum. Just remember...Your device is not bricked (as it sounds). You could brick it though. So be careful. You may wanna get advice from a Verizon User.

At this point, I'm throwing everything I think I know or understand out the window.
That said, can you walk me through the process starting at the bootload screen?

Yes, from a Sprint stand point though.
-download NFSFANS ROM
-Extract all the files from NFSFANS ROM to a new folder.
-Enter BootLoader
-Once it loads up plug your phone into your computer
-In your new folder there should be like 10 files...one of which say ROMUpdateUtility. Click and run that.
-Follow all the instructions on it.
-When it finishes...your phone will auto reboot.
-Once loaded up, Download Verizons Provesioning from NFSFANS ROM (you will find the link of the download towards the bottom of the first post NFSFAN has posted)
-Connect your phone to ur pc and put the Verizon Provesioning Cab on your sd card and install it.
-Restart your phone.
That should work.

I'll keep everyone updated.

How do you keep customization from running?
I tried to unroot my phone via OCLF from the market. It went dark, then got the normal Vibrant screen, the the Galaxy S screen, then it went dark again. Now, it just sits. Black screen. All the buttons at the bottom are lit up. :-/
Anyone?
Silly question, I know. But did you have a nandroid backup, by any chance?
This is probably a last resort, but try boot into recovery and wipe everything. This fix the problem for me, the downside is you lose all you data.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you are anything like me, recovery didn't work and using Odin and reflashing Stock with repartition didn't work either.
You'll need to use odin to flash Eugenes "Vibrant that doesn't brick" (NO REPARTITION), then use odin again to flash Stock (check repartition this time) and you'll be good to go.
You can try to flash the froyo rom with odin...... I had that same exact problem and this is what fixed it for me. Once froyo us flashed then you can flash whatever rom you want. Hth
Ok, I probably should have stated that I'm a complete newby and have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I do have nandroid, but other than that you all are speaking French to me.
Right now I'm in the recover mode (I think). It's hooked up to my computer and I'm in the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode. This is where I'm stuck...I have no idea where to go from here.
Please talk to me like I'm a 5 year old, because as far as this is concerned, I am!
Oh, and thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Well, good news is... you didn't brick your phone, this is recoverable. Best idea would be to search the forums on how to ODIN back to Stock. Theres plenty of posts on how to do it. You should also be able to find this in the tips & tricks threads. Good Luck.
Thank you all for your help! I recovered it!! Seems as though I was just going about it the wrong way!! I got into the actual recovery mode and cleared it all out. Now it's as good as new!
Again, appreciate your help and patience with what I'm sure is the 120,000th post on this subject. ;-)

The recovery 3button are blocked from the beginning; the DL Menu - I did not have reached it successfully
The PC recognize, that is something on USB, but not what ... so Odin did not see the Mobile, too.

Since the others wont offer any help. (and yes, i understand this is the development section and not the Q&A).
Try a Factory Reset, restart your phone.
Hold Volume DOWN+"Home" button+Power UNTIL you get to the screen with the yellow triangle specifying it's in download mode.

Im sure he would have gotten help once it was moved to the Q&A section.....
Should someone really be asking this if they are flashing ROMs? Cant tell the difference between recovery and download? Everyone starts out as a noob, but come on
And i said i understand that, but leave the moderating job to the moderators. If someone is in need, you should help them first instead of telling them they need to be somewhere else and THEN ->inform<- them where they should be posting. There's nothing wrong with being informative and empathetic.

Thank you xWarMachine04 for your help and to everyone else I am very sorry for posting this in the wrong section, I will take my slap n the wrist and will put it in the right section, also just a " I am afraid that you have put this in the wrong section so would you mind moving it please" would have been nice, it was a genuine mistake and just for the record I am a she not a he..........................

if everyone was thinking the same , this section would have been named "Galaxy S I9000 Android Development/Q&A"
why would you post here when you know its wrong.
faster response?
Like i said, let the mods do their jobs. IF a thread needs to be moved because of a person posting it in the wrong area, let them move it. This is a simple mistake a LOT of people make every day. Nonetheless, tanzi got her help needed, problem solved.
This conversation is over.

I watched this video on how to install Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and installed the software. I've been trying to go back to the original 2.2 Blur with T-Mobile. I've tried multiple times to flash the jordan sbf file. I flashed it and when it's done it tells me to manually power up my phone. My Defy is stuck doing boot loops. I have a standard Defy with green lenses. Please help me out.
you need to push down the volume button and go to stock recovery.from there wipe data+cache and it will start
