Well crap...I think I bricked it :-(

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.

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. ;-)

Thats also the problem as described in front : I have had no chance to received the DL Mode.. maybe I make something wrong? The phone is booting up till the "S" is there, after that, the screen is black, keys are lightning...
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.

Help!! Phone is Frozen....

Ok. So I just got this phone. I had the iPhone before and Im pretty tech savy. I honestly have no idea about this phone. I rooted it and today I received the Tmobile GPS update. Of course silly me updated it. Now its hung on the opening Vibrant screen. I deleted all data thinking it might restore it completely. That didnt work. So now my phone wont work and I have no clue how to fix it. HELP PLZ!

First of all can you access download mode or recovery? Try pressing both volume buttons and power. And let me know what happens.

Yea i can access all that. It gives me the "reboot system now" and all the other choices.

So reflash stock thru odin

Sorry, took too long replying, i see you already almost there. If it stays too long at the File Analysis phase then there is probably not communication between your PC and your Phone. Make sure your PC detects your phone and that ODIN shows a port number when your phone is connected. (Any port # will do it) Check your drivers. Also if running Windows 7 Vista, try running ODIN as administrator.

The link to get all the files I need isnt working. GRRR!! This is a pain! Lol.

Not long usually.
It sounds like you are in recovery mode vice download mode my friend. Try this:
First make sure you have all the correct drivers for the phone loaded onto your system.
-Close and reopen Odin.
-Unplug the USB cable and remove the battery.
-Reinsert the battery into the phone.
-Hold down both vol down + vol up and plug in the usb cable (make sure it's plugged into your computer first).
This should get you to a yellow screen that has a andriod sweeping, with "Download Mode" displayed at the bottom.
When you look in Odin you should see a little yellow box with a com port number in the upper left. This means the computer and Odin have found the phone, and that it is now ready for flashing.
Select the stock JFD firware for the PDA option, and the correct 512.pit file for PIT.
Try flashing again. Hopefully you get a bit further this time!

YAY!! It worked!! Ok. Thanks for the help.
Oh should I install the Tmobile GPS fix and root it again? Or will it get stuck again?

Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.

how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.

Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.

can someone answer my question?

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Q] Can't get into Download Mode after Odin Flash

First off - i've searched all day & stayed in IRC for over 40 mins without a hit so i'm looking for a little help.
I was upgrading to Froyo from a "stock" Continuum today using Odin. Everything seemed smooth - got a pass message & unplugged the usb cable. Now nothing (won't power up, etc) & i can't get into download mode.
I've tried all of the button/cable/battery combos that i could find. I have tried to flash a recovery using Odin & it gets stuck with the message "setup connection" in the message box.
I know my pc is seeing the phone (though you can't access the SD card or memory) & Odin is seeing it (yellow box) but i can't seem to get past this point or go back to the original.
Any help is appreciated.

Try pulling your battery and holding down the power button for a slow count of 20 to see if download mode comes back. After that, you should be good to flash stock ec07 and then recovery kernel. After that, whichever rom you choose. If that doesn't work, I'll try to get into IRC at some point tomorrow (today).

That didn't work either - screen is still blank & it won't progress in Odin. I'll jump back into IRC if anyone has any other ideas - thanks.

i dont know what to tell you continuums are very hard to brick and if u cant get into download mode then theres not that much u can do im afraid I was talking to adam outler about trying the unbrickable mod on a continuum but he does not have one to test. now he got the fascinate to work so id pm him and see if he'll let you send your phone to him

Hey TXwolf - i had to run out for a while - saw where you got on IRC earlier. Verizon is sending me a new phone, so i guess i'll just give up on saving this one...

If this is frenzifun, from android forums, this is what happened to him
He started a flash of stock ec07 with pit and repartition checked. It flashed params.ifs, boot, SBL and recovery. Then it removed itself (frenzifun, if you could post the flash log for others it might help them) from there, it wont go into dl mode. I was trying to help him in irc, but I'm out of options, other than making a jig. The only thing I can think of, that's causing this is the somehow the button mappings for vol down got erased. I'm not sure how it would, though. Especially since it should be a hardware mapping, independent of any software. And if that is the case, I don't know how to fix it.
If this isn't frenzifun, disregard everything I just said.

you can try this but you need Ubuntu and I'm not exactly sure it will work(also you need to find the correct files for your model), also if your phone is under warranty you can try taking it to att store and telling them update killed your phone but of course don't mention anything about root

Only because Im ignorant in learning how to flash, I came from iOS, and I'm still learning. I just want my phone back on at this point. I only rooted, and a silly update from att downloaded while I was rooted, and It auto rebooted into an LG logo flash, followed by a black screen.

Ah, yeah, I cant even get into the factory hard reset. It just turns off and on to a black screen. Thank you for your help, though.
Im freaking out, -_-. I regret for even allowing it to update, I should have tried to turn the phone off.

Well if the guy doesnt want kitkat downgrade to 10d. That woul be the best option

I mean, the phone is on, the back light is on, its just..black. I plugged my phone in, and Im not sure why, but 20 windows pop up asking if I want to format the drive.

dont format it.
okay now you have to be quick when you do this to get into download mode...
plug your usb into your phone and have it hanging in the usb port in the computer or plug.
now hold the power button until it turns off.
quickly plug in the port/plug and hold the up button.
you have to do it really quickly. took me a few tries.
once in download mode restore to factory whichever image you choose.
ive had this done a couple times to my phone and it does work if you act quickly.

Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
If you can access download mode by holding. UP volume while plugging in USB, you can flash the correct. kdz file to return to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

First link should work for you. I'm on D802, but had exactly the same problem and this solved it completly.
But be careful while doing it, it's really easy to mess things up.

Just get a virtual machine, it does the job just fine.
I did it with VirtualBox and Ubuntu. And make sure, you disable auto mount usb in ubuntu to prevent opening the 20 "partition" windows.
