I been trying to reflash my Vibrant to stock through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
how i kept getting this continuous circle thing instead of rebooting. I searched online and some forums talked about going into CNW recovery and then rewipe. However I can't seem to do that, after Odin (unclick reboot) I will push the 3 buttons (volume up, power, menu) and it would flash a disfigured download mode over and over again.
I am stuck, please help me out! I have attached two photos. I can still get into download mode without any issue.
What bootloader do you have running?

Bootloader? Sorry I don't know what that is... I only followed the guide...
I am a Noob, a huge uneducated Noob.
Are you going back to stock from ics? When you odin make sure re-partition is checked auto reboot is checked and use the 512 pit file as well as the stock image...
If you were on Ginger bread bootloaders you would only be pressing volume up and power to get into download mode...
When odin is done do you get a green pass! In the top left corner? It should state 1/pass 0 fail

I am going from Ginger bread back to Froyo. I tried to root it in GB and didn't work, it stopped receiving signal connection ...
Yes I mean up volume + power + menu for recovery.
Yes, all three are clicked and it always gives me that white circle loop in the attached image above.
Not sure what gb rom you could have possibly flashed that wouldn't already be rooted... can u get back to download mode from that circle?

If you can get back into download mode, download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?2qq3muxzj4gw7ib
I have never seen that stock link before, not too sure what that is, but the link I posted is a clean 2.2 rom...use the 512 pit and put that(link) into the PDA
just PIT and PDA and make sure all three are checked...
yup goes to download perfectly
I have attached a screenshot of what I am doing in Odin if that helps.
Your signature is Canada Rogers...do you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 vibrant?
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
you're using odin 3...not sure if this could be an issue or not, but search for Odin 1.7...use that
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also, from that screen shot, your 512 pit file is in your internet/temp directory...it could be gone after you close your browser....you need these files in a dedicated place like your desktop or something, not in an internet cache folder...when you hit start, did you see a progress bar and see things happening? it takes about 2-5 minutes for the stock firmware to be transferred to your phone
>< I am sorry! When I was searching for help I just saw Vibrant and thought that it would be it. I just noticed there is another thread for it.
I have a Samsung S Vibrant i9000M ... originally from Bell, but it was unlock when i got it... Would I be able to request a move to that forum?
But the procedure would still be the same right? I just flashed it (attached photo). It is saved in my internet temp file but it is physically there, I just named that file for all my internet downloads.
Sorry I am such an idiot. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I'll try using that first and let you know!

ok so this is the second time i have screwed this thing.
i tried to use odin to flash a stock image,
and now im stuck on the phone-!-computer image. I cant get into recovery. I can't get into download. Am i ****ed?
Did you click on PDA or Phone in odin?
i think phone
---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------
hello??????
that's your problem. did you read the instructions?
Just keep trying, try heimdell then Odin, then heimdell, over and over again. These phones are hard to hurt.
Try using the wall charger holding volume down, like you would with the computer to get into download mode. Report back.
Sent telepathically.
Yeah, for most purposes, you're going to be using PDA in Odin exclusively.
always always always use PDA. Never phone. period.

Since you have the battery out, having auto-reboot doesn't need to be checked.
I am trying to root my father in laws phone and it is giving me boot loop after flashing PDF And the Pit file. It it flashing to the battery charge screen and after i remove the battery and boot up it just flashes the vibrant boot up screen. i can get into download mode but i am just hitting boot loop. what am i doing wrong? can someone please team view or something? I rooted my S3 no problem. please please help quickly
I don't know why your flashing a pit file to root . Read the noob guide .
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
it said in the root guide to flash to pit file to flash back to eclair. thats why i flashed the pit.
but i have flashed just the pdf.tar alone and it after odin resets it it just rotates like its loading then the battery icon appears shortly. after i remove the usb cord and try to boot up it just flashes the tmobile vibrant then over than over, so what do i have to do?
Also i cannot get into recovery, the only thing i can get into is download mode. and nothign i have read is helping me with this specific problem. i have downloaded like 3 different tools and one click flash to stock one click unsoftbrick and i am not getting ANYTHING nothing but bootloops, and ADB isn't recognizing my device either
It sounds like the files you are
using are just to go back to stock, read this

I have been trying to flash back to stock i have used that PDA file and nothing, do i also need to flash the pit if i am trying to just go back to stock?
Edit:
I am Using this utility right now. and i flashed the PDF that came with it, alone then i am currently flashing the Pit and the PDF File and i am getting no response from the phone, nothing i flash via odin is working. so what is wrong? it is the t-mobile galaxy this is driving me crazy,
Yes!!! You need to flash BOTH the PIT and PDA files at the same time in order to go back to stock. Read that file Samsgun linked second.
Boot into download mode.
Open Odin with admin privileges
Connect phone
Make sure yellow Com box is lit up
Click PDA and load it
Click PIT and load it
Make sure Repartition is checked
Say a little prayer (jk)
Hit start
Green pass, yippee! !!
Now you are on 2.1 Eclair
Woodrube said:
You can download the Superuser.zip and/or the CWR zip from my signature.
If you are just going to root it and leave Eclair on there, then pull the Superuser zip from my signature.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM on there, then pull the CWR zip from my signature (but make sure you have already downloaded a ROM.zip to flash with this).
For Root. Put Supersuser.zip in your Internal_SD card and make sure it is named Update.zip and the only thing on there named that. Boot into recovery using the key combo (Volume +/- and Power, when you see Vibrant come up, release the Power button but keep ahold of the Vol+/-) It will boot into "stock" recovery. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. Might have to hit it twice, then reboot. You should have Root.
For CWR/Custom ROM. Same as above only no need for the Root.zip. Find a ROM that you want to flash (make sure to read OPs) and download it and put it on a folder where you know it will be in the phone. Just put the CWR on your Internal_SD and again make sure it is named Update.zip. Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages, hit it. It will cycle through and the stock (blue) recovery will turn to CWR (green) and you can then scroll down to Install From SD card and find the ROM that you downloaded beforehand.
Some things. Booting into recovery isn't easy and can take you a few times to get it. Also you can root using Z4 app, but you'll have to find that on your own.

i have done exactly that in that odrer, and after odin resets my phone it does that little loading circle then flashes battery screen, then goes to the little rotating loading then back to the battery. it never actually reboots, if i remove the cord and try to boot up that way it just flashes the samsung vibrant then the loading screen, rinse and repeat same out come every time
Just to rule this out. Is this phone a T959 (3g) or T959V (4g)? Look under the battery. Does it have a front facing camera? There have been a rash of those lately and just want to make sure before you move on.
I'm off for the next few days but there are plenty of people around that can help. If you need any of the files in my signature just click them.

FFC is usually the tip off for future issues like this Samsgun.
Our FFCs are aftermarket mods, so if you know your audience, ie mom/dad types, not power users like us (I am a father btw) and OP, then you'll be able to spot it right off.

Check out the Hellybean nightlies Here and here and the Devil Kernel for ICS here and Jelly Bean here for the Galaxy S and variants.
I have a rooted Australian Galaxy s iii i9300 running stock android 4.0.4 and Siyah Kernel V.1.5.3, both of which I flashed about 3 weeks ago.
My phone has been running perfectly, last night before going to bed I plugged my phone into the charger as usual. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I didn't alter any settings or install anything new and it has been weeks since I've flashed anything. I woke up this morning to see my phone stuck on the 'Galaxy S iii' logo screen as if it had automatically rebooted itself during the night and got stuck. I've tried removing the battery and turning it back on several times but it just keeps getting stuck on the logo screen. I can't enter clockwork recovery mod but I can still enter download mode.
Is my phone bricked?
How did this happen when I didn't even do anything?
What should I do?
Should I try re-flashing the stock ics rom?
Re-root
Try re-rooting it with Odin (from Download Mode), then you might be able to go into Recovery Mode.
Have you recently installed any app? Coz there must be a reason for this to happen.
If the above comment does not work, next step would be to order a jig to force it into download mode.

I can't even get into normal recovery mode, so I'm not sure re-rooting will help (I'll still give it a try though). Assuming it does work, what should I do once I get into Clockwork recovery?

Thanks for the reply. Where can I find the 3 part file version of the stock Rom? Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for flashing 3 part files with Odin? I'm only familiar with flashing a single tar file.
Seems as if this becomes a common problem, since this is like the 1001st thread about a S3 shutting down while on charge and not being able to reboot.

Really? I did a quick search before posting this, sorry for the repost. Did anyone come up with a solution in previous threads?
I've searched and searched but I still can't find the 3 file firmware. I don't even know what I'm looking for really. Can someone please link me to a 3 part Rom compatible with my phone?
While my search for similar problems before creating this thread yielded very few results, I have since found the other threads Ch0ka was referring to by searching 'There is no PIT partition'. It seems that if flashing a three part file and repartitioning with Odin doesn't work, the general consensus is that I'll have to send it to a service center for repair. Haven't I voided the warranty on my phone by rooting it? will they be able to tell I've rooted it or is it damaged beyond that point? I really can't afford to be paying for repairs right now.
I'm so upset, I still don't understand how my phone could just brick itself overnight! Could someone please give me some advice?

1. If you stay on mj4 (4.3) then you want to follow this method to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474222 there's videos and super simple, if you go KK then yea, you need to use chain fires auto root for the 9005, make sure you put the tar file and not the md5 file.
2. You don't flash roms in Odin, you need to flash roms using twrp (that's the recovery), might be why you ran into problems in the first place.

You need to get to the download mode, pull your battery, put it back in, press volume down, the home button, and power at the same time, hold it until the phone vibrates and the screen turns on, it will tell you to press over of two options, you want the dl mode option. If you have a case, take it out of the case and try, might be preventing you from hitting all three at the same time.

You need to get to the download mode, pull your battery, put it back in, press volume down, the home button, and power at the same time, hold it until the phone vibrates and the screen turns on, it will tell you to press over of two options, you want the dl mode option

Yep, make sure your phone is recognized in the program when it comes up, takes a few minutes to start up and about 15 to run. Make sure you run the program as administrator.. Once you do this, your phone will be completely stock like you just took it out the box

i am instalink the mj4 now and it seems to be working.
for the updates i noticed that the instructions sayd to copy the files to the external sd. can't it be the internal sd, or does it really have to be the external one because i don't have an external sd right now.
and if it can't be the internal sd, then what file should i use to root whithout the updates, just the mj4?
just realised that was a stupid question. i found a long forgotten 1gb sd. does the CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 file work on nabd or should i only upgrade to nab?

thank you for all your help.
i have a note edge from sprint, it is a friend of mines. Who by the way didnt listen to me and let me do it to begin with.
the phone when powered on is stuck at
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
He did not get to install TWRP on the device.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of how maybe i can get this to work. i have tried the Kies software but it keeps saying that it is not connected.
Also, i have not seen anywhere that uses Odin, is this because of the Sprint version.

What does this mean? You can use Odin for basically everything on this phone.
Well, you can't use it to make that worthless edge screen become something of value. You can't do that with Odin.
But Odin will do what you need. Power button, home button, and volume up button, all pushed at the same time, will give you the option to put the phone into Download mode and you can go Odin from there.

Had similar issue, with the Edge in this situation. There is no obvious "download" screen when this happens because all you will get is that message.
1 Ignore Kies, wont help you
2. download the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...alaxy-note-edge-stock-5-1-1-firmware-t3162245 (and thank the OP for posting it!)
3.Get Odin if dont have it already.
4. get phone to where it says "try again" and hook to computer
5. Flash the stock Rom via oden. Once you hit start in Odin you will, hopefully, see the download happen on the edge screen
I am assuming you know how to work Odin, if not, check out the several walk-throughs. The big thing is that, in this situation, error message screen IS the download screen at that point.

I downloaded the firmware but I'm not quite sure where to place the firmware under. There are several spots such as CP, CSC, BL, and AP.
Also, What do you mean by flashing the stock? Thank you for your time to read this. ;3
You can still flash from that screen. It's still download mode

I'm a huge noobie with this, but what is the difference between a T-Lock and a Flash Lock? Also, there isn't anything to check besides the default and the flash options right? Thank you, my root didn't go all the way thru so I'm trying to revert it to the un-rooted version.
[Edit]
So, I put the file in the AP area and started it. Then I get a red button that says "fail". I'm using the model and service provider but I'm not sure whats wrong, The only thing that I think could be not allowing me to unroot my phone is the flash lock, unless, I need more files for the Bl, Cp, CSC..
