[Q] Brick/System Recovery Loop

---

So I was messing with that CWM "FIX" and I was able to get back to stock using Odin and the T959VKB5-Custom file.

After messing with doing the supposed fix I decided to try to use the PIT file that troby1986 reposted what krylon360 posted on the Vibrant forum. The PIT file was named "Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit"

After running Odin with both files and Odin saying it was successful, the phone rebooted and then the Galaxy S 4G bootup screen came up but then went straight back to system recovery. I tried several times trying to use Odin with and without the PIT file and keeping the TAR/PDA file the same. I would always get the same result. It would reboot and show the Galaxy S 4G screen then straight to system recovery.

Did anyone else get into this loop and was able to recover? Also my external SD card was wiped out. If I can't get this fixed I'll try to go into a tmobile store and try to get it replaced.

Also can someone load up a zip file of what's in the SD card stock minus the movie?

yes i did the samething and got exactly what u have now hope we get some help with this

From what I've read, that pit file is not for the SGS 4G its for the 3G. They have different Partition structors. The only thing you change in oden is putting the Tar file in PDA and press start after your phone is in download mode. And sorry, I can't tell you the solution.

I dunno. Accord to him it is the correct one but he say maybe it was corrupt download that he loaded or it may be a wrong partition. I know for the regular vibrant it's 512. Maybe 803 also. We won't find out till we get the real one. But I'm not going to try and experiment on a pit till someone else does and verify's it...lol. I ended up exchanging mine at the store since it hasn't been 30 days yet. Anyone having issues and it hasn't been 30 days should be able to exchange their phone for a new one at the Tmobile stores.

I did the same thing. Is anyone working on putting together a PIT for this phone that works? I'd be happy to get my donation on if someone were able to help me get unbricked.
