Does anyone have these files hosted anywhere?

All the slackdev.com links fail to work properly, it seems.

This would be useful.


This phone is now $0 with contract renewal and there will be a slew of new users (believe it or not)

That's fantastic. But now I don't seem to be able to recover the phone, now that I've tried to Odin with the 20100512 PIT and UVJFD Tar

My Vibrant was on the latest firmware.

I flashed a kernel that was in the cyanogenmod wiki, through Heimdall.

The phone wouldn't boot (screen would go black).

Then I am trying to Odin the Vibrant. I have the right files with the right MD5 hash.

Followed all directions.

At the very end of the process, I get a red FAIL! and the phone is a brick. Turning it on just gives a screen with a mobile phone with a computer next to each other, with a yellow exclamation mark triangle in between.

Can't boot. Even Download Mode doesn't have the big yellow symbol like normal.

I'm lost as what to do.

Please only post in one forum. Also are you using a Facinate, as your carrier under your avatar is Verizon? If so, you need to make sure you have the Pit/PDA files for the Facinate and not the Vibrant. If not then see below.

This is from the MIUI guide stickied on the Q&A sections

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...

Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!

1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.

Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!

3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.

You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

It's actually my boss's Vibrant.

I had the Fascinate for years, so I'm familiar with Odin and the process.

I'm doing everything in that list, no question. It seems to be successful in flashing the PIT and Tar files, and says 'PASS!' now.

But the phone won't boot normally or into recovery. It shows 'Vibrant' and below it 'Samsung', then black after 10 seconds or so, then again, then black after 10 seconds or so, then again. It's like a boot loop that isn't getting very far.

So at this point, the 'Download' screen is back when I put it into Download mode. Odin3 functions just fine, and seems to flash the phone just fine.

The phone just won't boot, at all, or into recovery.

It's actually my boss's Vibrant.

Gulp!!!

What ROM are you trying to put on there? I suggest getting a nice 2.2 to get it to boot up. Since you know Odin, pull a 2.2 ROM (Bionix-Fishman's redux, Toxic8/ Deranged9 [see 2nd to last page on D9 for download in my dropbox]) and push whatever ROM through Odin (pda) and not recovery (zip).

If you can somehow get into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/davlik.

At least it is a PASS as of now, so that is good. Try to get it booting up and then we can go from there.

I'm only trying to flash the STOCK JFD Odin and 0512 PIT.

I've tried the one in the other thread (to flash back to stock) and as well the one that comes in the AIO Vibrant Toolbox Folder.

Neither PIT and TAR seem to return things to stock.

There are no .zip files here, only ODIN files. If I can try another PIT and TAR from somewhere, I will. But the threads I'm looking in don't seem to have them.]

This all started when I tried to Heimdall a kernel that had Clockworkmod Recovery in it.

I wasn't worried about the Kernel not being the exact one for the ROM - since all I needed was the Recovery (to install Cyanogenmod). Well, apparently the stock recovery just stayed there, and the phone would come up 90%.

From there, I said OK, I have to odin this thing.

And that's where I am. I still get the 'Vibrant' on top 'Samsung' on bottom boot screen for 10 seconds, then repeat loop endlessly. No recovery (holding power + vol up and down for a couple of cycles) at all. Only download mode.










-------------------------------------------
EDIT:

This is the Galaxy S 4g instead of the normal Galaxy S.

Nowhere on the phone is this marked, and it is still a 959.

I am going to heimdall some Galaxy S 4g software on here.

Lesson learned: Start by making sure you're flashing firmware to the correct phone.

My apologies. Thank you all for all of your help.

Use the AIO it has everything you need.

Galaxy SII

---

Hi;
Are this method works on Galaxy SII ?!!

I've successfully flashed UVJFD with bootloader using Heimdall One-Click, "Samsung Vibrant" white screen appears, then it turns off, every time. I hear the computer make the sound of lost usb device so I know its turning off vs screen turning black.

Any suggestions?
