you need to flash clockwork recovery image. I used the supercurios stock + voodoo kernel which gave me clockwork

I had this problem as well, and it gave me quite a scare for a while. I eventually had to reinstall the JFD rom using Odin (including repartitioning), and then re-install the update using Kies, and then leaving it un-rooted.

And I guess it will stay un-rooted until someone cleverer than myself figures out how to free this new rom.

You could use this (helped me a lot):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
to go back to stock (in that way you will have e2 recovery), then upload rom manager from market (or just use clockwork manually ) and you can flash anything you want.
Easy.

? How come the link is so small?

This method doesn't work any more... it was for when the phone was running Eclair 2.1

Oh man thanks so much for this. I recently got my hands on a vibrant that was sitting around in my friend's closet. He since got a new phone and just left it sitting there in the closet.

My current device (G2X) is way better than the vibrant but I was excited regardless because I wanted to play around with something that has a samoled screen and voodoo sound.

To my dismay however the usb port is effed up and I can't connect to usb debugging in order to root, until I found this!! Luckily for me my friend never updated and was still running eclair.

Thanks again!
