I bricked my streak.
I have tried literally everything here. I'm using OSX and it's really hard to find tuts for Macs. Any help and i would be at a loss to you.
1.6
AT&T Locked
I was trying to upgrade to 2.1 but was failing miserably. So i decided to FACTORY RESTORE through recovery because i didnt want my root or my clockwork recovery image. but thats when the brickage happened.
thanks.
zach
brickage?
im assuming you mean you are stuck at the dell logo
Ok, you are not bricked.
Just fastboot flash the stock recovery image, then flash an official dell update.pkg. Fixed.
Please use search next time, there's about a million threads exactly the same as this.

you need to copy over the dell image to the sd card and then boot holding down the volume keys and power.
Once there (if you are using the clockwork recovery) install zip from cd card and select the image. If the stock boot image then select upgrade from sd card (or what ever it is).
The big thing is you need to pull the sd card out and get the ROM on it.

phone was rooted using the unlockr method and was able to flash a froyo rom successfully via clockword mod recovery.
i tried to flash another froyo rom and tried to reboot into recovery from clockwork mod and now its just stuck at the vibrant screen.
i tried booting by holding the 2 volume buttons + power button and then releasing when the 2nd vibrant splash screen comes up...nothing, it stays at the vibrant screen.
so i tried booting it normally by just pressing the power button and that doesn't work either. it stays stuck at the vibrant screen.
so i researched and came across this article: http://www.ithinkdiff.com/how-to-access-download-and-recovery-mode-in-samsung-vibrant/
that didnt work. i tried all 3 steps. when i go through terminal and try to run the adb commands it just says that no devices are connected.
please help me.
Your gonna have to flash with Odin
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
can this be done via mac?
if you can get to recovery you can place your rom on the sd card and browse from cwm
if no cwm, you need odin. From mac maybe with bootcamp.
i can't get into recovery.

hi
I use this method:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8482-fixedstrange-problem-project-voodoo-black-screen-of-death/
I hope this can fix your problem. Good luck
Thanks everyone for your replies. I got it up and running again. Here's what I did:
1) I download the vibrant usb drivers from here, then installed them on my Windows XP machine (http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...SB-Driver-for-Windows-x86-Download-96692.html)
2) I then watched this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnY7P14JSWQ), downloaded the 2 files and followed the steps in the video
It went back to the stock (out-of-box-unrooted) ROM. Without the JI6 update.
ok so i did something very similar and am currently having a very similar problem. i can get into download mode; i then use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 to try and reinstall stock (i think i may have wiped the internal sd card earlier somehow) is this the proper way to go about reinstalling everything or am i missing something?
Ok so i downloaded rom manager and selected the top option flash clockworkmod recovery and picked my phone ( im already rooted by using the one step click root) and then i picked install rom from SD card and picked my room (which is Bi-winning v3) and my phone turned off and rebooted and went into the samsung recovery screen i tried to reinstall packages but gave me a error , i even tried the "all clockworkmod" recoveries and no luck same thing happens boots me up to the samsung recovery.
Does any one know what am doing wrong or what i can do to fix this problem?? thanks in advance and im still on my stock android os have't changed anything.
First, you need to start with a clean SD card. Then, open ROM Manager, flash cwr etc. etc. When it is finished downloading, power off the phone and reboot into recovery. From there (this is where the clean SD card is needed) then hit "reinstall packages, then hit reboot. This should bring up the iconic green text. reply if there are any problems.

hmm so do i need to clean my sd before i flash cwr or do i do it when i reboot my system?? from the android recovery screen??
Is not very clear to me. Did you flash your phone previously? have you done ODIN, kies, etc? have you tried this?

For some reason Rom Manager is not flashing CWR right. I couldn't get it to stick for hours. Just kept rebooting into normal load.
Follow the instructions above and you should be good to go. The 1.72mb update.zip should give you root and CWR

Im not sure how to use odin and what does it do ?? and i read the the topic you linked and seems like im not the only one having problems
Just download that update.zip he referenced (that I put there), and flash it.. instead of using Rom Manager.
it will root and install CWR for you.
I need to update my guides.

i highly suggest you learn how to use ODIN in the Vibrant Bible. If you're doing anything that has to do with rooting and flashing your phone, be sure you know how to revert back to stock. You WILL NEED TO at some point or another or find out what if feels like to own a brick.

http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
Hey guys, I'm basically screwed right now. I deleted many major applications from the /system/apps drawer. I am running Mac 10.5 on my laptop currently and I want to know how do I flash a working ClockworkMod.
I know, there are plenty of threads about this, but none gave me a REAL answer.
I'm on a Mac, So I can't ODIN in. It needs to be done on 2.2 Froyo.
Everytime I instal a CWM, It boots into Android Recovery and When I hit "reinstall packages", It doesnt do anything.
Please, tell me how to flash a working cwm recovery so I can flash another ROM stable for my Vibrant.
Try not to send me links, because I've seen them all. but If you think that link is the one, please show me.
Thanks In advace guys.
Did you do a backup before anything?

ok so you can just download the cwm recovery and put it on your sd card and power your phone off then hold volume down and power it should flash the file itself if you cant get to the phone at all other then bootloader try mounting your sd card with another phone or with a micro sd adapter moving the file to the sd and doing what i told you before. that should help..
u might fail signature verification just doing update.zip
i think it should go like :
install odin in windows
flash 2.1
install clockwork
flash whatever u want
cant you use the rom manager from the market to install any fooxx.zip?
I just loaded the Pure AOSP, posted today and now when i try to restore back to other rom, the phone is stuck in boot loop, how can i get access back to sd-ext to load my restore image and boot up.

Have you been reading the development thread?
yes, but they do not say which images they use to get back this functionality, they have just stated they used sbf then an image. My question is i have an unlocked phone, should i got back through the whole process of unlocking and rooting again to regain control of the phone, or what exact steps are needed, i have already tried to edit the files in /etc/ to point to the external card but to no avail.
Thanks

You won't be able to, as stated in the OP, there's a seperate option in Storage settings within the ROM because you can only read from either internal or external SD, one at a time. So that means you have to put any items you want to flash on the internal SD card to flash them with CWM. It won't read the external SD card in recovery mode.
I have, all my backups and rom images are located on the sdcard
==> backups
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
==> Roms
/sdcard/roms
When i try to restore the backups, i get the boot loop and the same for the roms, or some roms wont load at all. my main rom has been homebase, and it just hangs or it fails with error about sd-ext when in recovery. this is what i am trying to figure out, is how to get back to that point before the pure aosp install, do i start from scratch or is there another way.
Download the recovery image from romracer's thread and flashboot it via pc/cmd. You still can put the phone into fastboot mode.

I have a flashable cwm version of romracers recovery on my int sd card.GForgot where I got it from but I copied it to my ext sd so if I ever get stuck I can cwm a good recovery.
thanks i am going to try that now, as now when i try to boot phone, i get the android screen, then it just dies nothing, so i will do the recovery image.
Thanks

OK so Im on AOKP milestone 6 with the devil kernel and i went in to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache and when i pressed reboot system it goes back to recovery!!!! please help as I really don't want to reflash everything!!! Thanks.
I had this same problem until I flashed TWRP. When I rebooted, it instead loaded the OS, but it still had Devil Recovery. WTF?
Have you tried re-flashing the rom without wiping data?

Try flashing CWM recovery again using Heimdall or Odin. Once it boots into recovery, flash TWRP or another recovery of your choice, then reboot and hopefully you will see your boot animation. That's what I did to get AOKP build 40 to boot again (though strangely enough, it's stuck with Devil recovery even after flashing TWRP). Hope this helps you guys out. And be sure to make backups!

Again, how can i put twrp on my sd card if i'm stuck in recovery? Is there a link for an odin version of twrp
You should be able to mount your SD card in recovery anyway. If not, take it out and insert it into an adapter to plug into your computer. I don't know if there's an Odin version of TWRP, I flashed it in CWM recovery.
I would read droid styles guide first if you have not yet as it has all the answers you will need. You just need to read through it and following the directions.

If you're using CWM, it's under Advanced or Mounts and Storage. Plug in the USB cable like you normally would.

I try to install twrp but it says installation aborted. I'm really starting to get sick of this phone and its stability issues.
You got the zip, right? It's in the Fascinate development section of the forums.
There is nothing wrong with the phone. I don't understand why you can't just Odin back to stock and start over. With the amount of time you have been stuck in recovery you could have fixed it by now. It you could follow droid styles guide to get out of the recovery loop without going back to stock. Something tells me you really just want a new phone...am I close???

If you've already tried Heimdall-flashing CWM again, and that didn't work, then I suggest you Odin back to stock as shelby suggested. If you haven't made a nandroid already, do so, then revert back to stock and start from scratch. You can try restoring your nandroid once you're no longer stuck in recovery.
