I already posted my problems on this wall and I tried every solutions that people suggested me but it still not working....... bad.....
So I wanna say exactly what is my problems.
First of all, I rooted my phone when the version was 2.1 eclair and I did not use any custom rom I just used lagfix app
Secondary, I watched news that I was able to upgrade my phone to 2.2 froyo by official update. so I tried to update my version by kies mini without eliminating rooting system. the updating was working and my phone rebooted automatically but after I saw the hallmark as samsung galaxy s on the screen, my phone's screen was dark and I cannot see anything. Just sometimes it vibrated.
thirdly, I tried to recover by odin and official rom but it did not work.
at that time, odin stopped when it installed modem.bin (I used odin v1.0 first and I changed v1.7)
Finally, I posted my problems on this board and I got some suggestions from other great guys. so I tried 3 roms( T959UVJFD.tar, T959UVJI6.tar and another one) and I tried whole version odin to solve the problems. However, it did not work for me...........
WHatever I used different roms, odin always stopped when it installs modem.bin.... I think that is the most serious problem....
Please if you guys know how to solve this problems.... plz say me..... I will really appreciate guys..... Thanks
If I follow you guys instructions and my phone get back... I will give the poster 20 bucks by paypal...... plz help me..
Will you go to my noob guide and follow my instructions for the ALT METHOD? (its in my signature)
Be sure and download the correct files. And Please use the ODIN version I suggest.
I included videos and I suggest watching them to make sure you are not doing something silly.
If it works, give the money to a developer of your choice... or give it to me and I will give it to some I have not donated to recently.

Was there a lag fix in place when you tried to ODIN back to stock, My very first Rom I ever flashed I had OCLF in place and tried to ODIN back to the original files and it was a nightmare getting it to work. You can always blame TMO on there 2.2 update and they more than likely will give you a new phone, But follow ss10823's thread he has some good stuff out there.

hi ive searched for a few hours and tried so many different sequences her eon the forums and for some reason i cant get odin3 1.78 to recognize my captivate... otherwise i would have an awesome Cyanogenmod 7 on it.
i rooted it and installed clockwork from the thread "how to install roms" under the dev threads (the big sticky) then attempted to install a custom rom through clockwork and it failed. now my original rom is messed up. i can load into it but android.phone continuously closes...i cant get odin to see my phone thus i cant reflash the original firmware....
yes i have drivers installed.
yes i have the AIO toolbox.
now for some reason i cannot get Odin to recognize my phone AT ALL (download/recovery/loaded). ive literally tried everything i can think of and to be honest i hope someone here can make me look stupid and help me fix it . ive flashed roms before back in the day with my tilt and cliq. but ive been out of the game for a very long time and lemme tell you im completely lost feeling.
im on windows 7 ultimate x86 fully updated.
ill be glad to donate a little bit for some success on just getting odin to recognize because i have everything. its just that stopping me..
You're in the wrong section bro.

Hello, all!
I've purchased a vibrant for my wife over the weekend (i'm on sensation), and have several questions.
The guy i bought it from did a hard-reset supposedly, and said that it reverted it back to the stock android build. Seemed weird, but the first thing i did was update it via kies mini to the froyo build. It's been working fine, except for the camera started messing up last night. Going into black screens, showing "camera failed" errors. It also takes some time (2-3 secs of black screen) to process a picture after it has been taken. I don't remember it doing that on the stock build. I did update it to the latest firmware.
Should i root the phone and flash a different rom? (which rom would you recommend?) A short google search revealed a lot of people having slow-downs after the froyo update.
Appreciate your help!
just to follow-up. wife's been having problems with the music player app hanging, then the phone shut down while she was installing something.... i'm going to wipe everything first to see if it helps any, but will end up rooting it and flashing something else, most likely.
Before rooting make sure you odin back to stock 2.1. That should het rid of the problems

Definitely do what the above poster suggested. Go to the development section and get the AIO toolbox. It has everything you need to get back to stock and get you rooted. If your looking for a good stable rom I'd recommend bi-winning v3. Good luck.
thank you, guys! ended up using the aio toolbox, like suggested. smooth sailing
i've put ultimate rom on it for now, see how she likes it. i'll check the bi-winning (lol) one also. anything else that you'd recommend for now? thank you!
WORD OF IMPORTANT CAUTION!!!!
DON'T EVER USE KIES AGAIN OR YOU WILL BRICK THE PHONE!!! THIS IS A GIVEN, YOU JUST GOT LUCKY, BUT ITS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE!! And when it corrupts the Primary and Secondary Boot loader files you'll be bricked hard for sure!!!
KIES IS NOTORIOUS FOR BRICKING VIBRANTS, IT DID IT TO MY PHONE AND MANY OTHERS HERE!! I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME!!
Odin or Heimdal are the only programs I would use to do restores other than Baywolfs AIO which is very friendly and has the JFD Rom in it and the Mapping Pit file known as the 512.
You could also use Eugenes No brick Froyo using Odin which has the 2E update file in it, so when you root it and Flash CW recovery, and then re-install packages it will give you the 2E green recovery menu you'll need to successfully flash other ROMS in the future you want.

Wow, didn't know this. Will delete kies asap. btw, this rom that i've flashed has a custom kernel (bionix? + voodoo). i did a backup of the stock rom via recovery. do i need to flash the stock kernel first before rolling back to stock?

Project-V is a Great 2.2 ROM, I made a few themes for it too: Blar and WP7 Style
Hey All,
I've been looking for an answer for over a day now, but can't seem to find anything about my specific problem. Here's what happened:
I had flashed to ICS 4.0.3 on my Samsung Vibrant about a month ago and everything was working great until yesterday when I woke up to find the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen on my phone. I did a little research to find out that there is a fix to this and to NOT reset the phone. So, I took the steps to ODIN the phone back to Stock Eclair in hopes that starting from the beginning again would be easiest way to fix the problem. The ODIN process finished completely fine (PASSED), but now when it reboots, I only get to the first "Vibrant" screen, then it shows the battery and spinning circle icon. Apparently it won't fully reboot. I've tried to ODIN it back to stock several times, and I keep getting the same results. I can get it into download mode and plugged into my computer, but that's about it.
From the posts I've read, it sounds like my phone might still be okay to recover since it does power up, but I can't seem to find a solution to get it fully back up and running.
Any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Maybe your JFD file is corruption. Check with your MD5 sum if there any error or mismatch.. Just give you an idea.BTW what Odin are u using. I recommend Odin 1.7 I stay away the older Odin or the newer Odin
You are screwed.
Sorry to tell you this but i had the exact same problem and found no solution whatsoever to fix the phone. I finally gave up and bought a Galaxy Nexus. You can try flashing Eugene's Unbrickable Froyo Rom which is flashable through odin as a .tar package along with the pit file. You might be able to fix it but i highly doubt it. I flashed Eugene's rom and got the same results as you described. By any chance did you click "Reset Phone" when the "Encryption Unsuccessful" showed up? If so well yeah your phone is pretty much paperweight as of now...until someone finds a solution. Like you i am also able to access download mode. So i guess there may be a way to fix your phone. Not saying it's impossible...hopefully someone finds a solution soon.
Here is the link to Euguene's rom: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Good luck.
OP, what ROM were you running (specifically. Not just ICS 4.0.3-what is the name of the ROM)? Also what kernel?
Since you are not the only one this happened to, I would like to know the above and see if it correlates to the others that this happened to in the Vibrant section. I'll post the same in their threads too.
Check here out for a possible solution/workaround.
Replacement Vibrant Coming
Thanks for your recommendations/help guys.
I decided to go to T-Mobile and complain and they are sending me a replacement phone. Apparently it's still under warranty, so it won't cost me anything, and if my data is lost, then so be it...at least all my contacts will still be in tact through my Google account.
Merio - I did NOT hit the Reset Button when I saw the Encryption Unsuccessful screen. Before doing anything I did a little research and I found a forum here on xda that said to not hit that button, and tried to explain a way to fix it using the Heimdall One-Click. Basically it sounded like I'd be flashing back to a Gingerbread ROM. So, instead I just went ahead and tried to flash back to stock Eclair. The results of that were obviously not good.
Woodrube - I was running the Passion 13 ROM (ICS 4.0.3). Was really enjoying it until I got the Encryption "Screen of Death"
I don't know what Kernel it was, actually, I don't really know what a Kernel is...
Thanks again guys. Hopefully I'll be up and running on my replacement phone soon!
Hello guys. I will try to describe my issue very short:
My S3 got bricked a couple of days ago where i did a "NAND FLASH" (yes i am stupid, and i dont know why i did it)
I managed to get my S3 up and running with different firmware, pit, modem, boot files. Now its running STOCK official firmware from S3 without root, and without clockwork...
The S3 is completely stock now, but my issue is:
1. I tried 4 different computers: WIndows XP, Windows 7, MAC etc. but none of them recognize my phone when i attached it, and yes the drivers are installed and i have tried different cables
2. The phone is very laggy and reboots without reason
Conclusion. I think there is something missing in the system files but i have tried every firmware (CYANOGEN too,) but the phone seems to have changed. I think there is a system android file that is still corrupt somewhere or the NAND has been affected by zombies
Please guys... i hope you can help me. -
Test the memory, search here in q&a for the app. I'd guess you have damaged the nand, which will require a motherboard replacement.
you can root using exynos abuse apk. it can be downloaded by qr code reader or directly from phone .after rooting you can use mobile odin to flash the stock rom . this requires no cable or connection to a pc. but first check the memory as boomboomer suggests. if it is damaged you might be able to replace with warranty. good luck
Memory test said "Test has passed" so i think the results are OK?
Ashraf: As i told before: I am already running stock firmware. The phone reboots by it self some times
Any other solutions?
Try the memory test from the freezing thread, if that passes then flash the stock rom again, make sure the csc in the rom matches your country and you have the right modem and RIL either included in the rom or flashed afterward.
Test fully before you log into Google or restore/install any apps. Remove the sd card during this testing.

Hello mostafaz... i dont know how to thank you but you solved my issue! I really really appreciate your help and for the solution!
It could be great if we had a database with the official PIT/PHONE etc. files :laugh:
Once again: Thank you!:good::good:
you are welcome
glad to hear u solved ur issue.
i wanna try many stock rom and have no fear ready for new problems
First of all, I am not new to flashing, rooting and etc. I have helped many of my friends with custom roms and etc so flashing and Odin is not something I know nothing about.
However, I was asked by my friend that his S2 was running slow and wanted me to put a custom rom on there. So I did the usual thing of using the ZergRush method to give him root access and I tested Superuser with Root Checker and everything was fine. So I went to install a custom recovery (Phil's CWM) via Odin and using the latest tar file from Phil's website but this is where things didn't go according to plan.
When I hit the Start button in Odin, it did the normal thing of writing to the NAND but instead of taking the usual 8-10 seconds, it took a lot longer. I actually waited 20 minutes and nothing was happening. There was no indication on the S2 that anything was happening and Odin was still stuck on the NAND Writing with all the buttone grayed out. So I waited a bit longer and after 30 min I decided to close Odin and try again, but when I try to get into Download Mode, I got the message 'Software Update Fail'. I tried to flash the custom recovery again but when it gets to the NAND Write, it instantly goes to 'Fail'.
Out of the 8 Samsung phones I have rooted and put a custom rom on, this is the first time this has happened. I searched the forum but most of it point to a bricked phone. I know at this point is is pretty critical that I do not try any random thing and asking you guys for any advice. I have tried flashing with a different version of Odin and also on different computers but gave me the same result. So any help would be much appriciated.
Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' guide; search for it. You need to try everything in that thread over & over & over, only way you're fixing it is if you get a successful Odin flash away. In particular flashing the 3 part firmware might fix it.
Given the alternative - motherboard replacement or new phone - keep trying stuff, these cases are sometimes fixed by persevering (for whatever reason the first 8 stock rom flashes you try don't work but the 9th does, etc)
Thanks for the information MistahBungle, I have tried most of what has been said but I have not tried the leaked rom for the i9100. I will definately give this a shot.
No worries The rationale with flashing the 3 part is it will wipe the phone & hopefully remove any 'remnants' of what was previously on the phone which might be causing issues. If that doesn't work, download a bunch of stock roms from Samfirmware (carrier/country doesn't matter, just make sure you DL I9100 firmwares) & start flashing, this sometimes solves problems like this as I mentioned in my PP. Good luck.

Just giving you an update. The 3 part leaked rom did the trick! I been flashing for a few years now but never ever had Odin go wrong so this is a new experience for me. I really appricate your help with this, was so worried I stuffed up a friends phone.
Good news then No worries, glad you got it sorted (& you've still got a friend ). Yeah, that's a handy trick the 3 part, it's bailed a few people out. Don't forget to thank Hopper's OP in his thread.

Thanks for keeping on referring my thread, the more people it can help the better I'm working 6 days a week for now so haven't much time to go on Q&A and help out. Also thanks for before, I think you know what I'm referring to. Much appreciated. :good:
