Default Samsung Not Booting Passed Boot Screen

Recently I got a Samsung Vibrant, I decided to root it and put a custom ROM Image on it. Bionix. I Didn't like Bionix and tried to restore from a Nandroidb backup.

Thats where everything went crazy.

After restoring back to my stock ROM all my apps kept crashing and asking to force close. So I ran nandroid again and tried to restore from a different back up, and it said Restore failed. This is where sweat began to drip off my face as the Vibrant Only boots up to the Samsung Vibrant splash screen and goes black.

So I used ODIN 1.3 With stock vibrant roms to restore it, and it's saying it's PASSED, It mounts and everything, but it still keeps going black after the Samsung boot screen.

I've tried this 6 times with the same results all with different stock Vibrant roms with the same results. I can still boot into clockwork mod recovery. How do I fix this problem?

You have a Vibrant that has the larger NAND chip. You need to flash the "Froyo which doesn't brick" to repartition that internal card which has both shared space and /data. Follow directions in that thread and don't forget the "adb reboot". THEN, flash back to stock, and you will now have the right amount of space to accomodate the flashing of voodoo. Flashing Bionix packaged with a kernel repartitions your SD card back to stock sizes, whereas flashing the stock ROM leaves the partition tables intact.

EDIT: ^^ Beat me to it.

You guys are awesome, and this should fix the problem I'm having and it should boot fully into android? I don't care to downgrade as long as it boots all the way through into a fully usable phone and operating system.
