I was running Bionix-v 1.1.2 and the DOW kernel and everything was working great. My phone then got stuck on the DOW boot up image so i used Odin to flash back to stock like I have done countless times. I am able to get the phone into download mode and I start Odin and it states All threads completed. (succeed 1/failed 0) >Removed. At witch the phone would normally boot into recovery mode and Odin would finish doing its thing but my phone will now just show the battery charging picture, go black, then the battery charging picture again until I unplug the usb. The phone will power up to the Vibrant splash screen then go black. I can get the phone into download mode but I always get the same results when I try to flash with Odin. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.

I got the same error when running some test kernels. Try flashing JFD also flash the 512.pit file and check repartition in Odin . If that doesn't work flash Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick .

I downloaded a new copy of JFD and 512.pit checked repartition. Still was not able to get into recovery after Odin even with the new copy. Eugenes froyo that doesn't brick gave me the same can't mount error message.

Having the same issues.....JFD simply won't boot, Eugene's Froyo that wont brick makes it through the boot animations and then locks with the touch buttons lit up, Eugene's JK2+2E boots fine, but has this problem (internal and external storage show up as unavailable). I'm pretty sure it's related to using ODIN with Voodoo enabled and I've been going crazy all day trying to find a fix, but to no avail so far. ANY help would be incredibly appreciated!!

Drewdude, since we're having the same problems, we should confer about it through some IM system in a little bit... two heads are better than one, right? :p

Well I have also tried Heimdall as well... no success with Heimdall either. So my final solution to the problem is I called T-Mobile and told them my phone would not turn on. My new Vibrant will be here in 3 days at no charge.

OP,

I just experienced the SAME Exact problem. THE VERY SAME.
Something tells me it's the DOW kernel.

W.T.F.

I've tried all the ODIN files that are available.
In each one, I get Vibrant, then it goes blank and turns off. Nothing else.

My phone is fried.

More likely than not, youre not fried, just soft-bricked same as me. Can you get your phone into download mode? Hold vol + and vol - while inserting your micro-sd cable...it should go to a picture of a yellow android with a shovel. If you can get to this mode, your phone is NOT fried.

THat's the only mode I can get into bud.

I've tried to load JI5 Ji6, Eugene's nonbrickin g Froyo.

None of the roms get past the vibrant screen.

THey just shut off.

Try these step from oka1 . He say to flash Eugenes froyo without repartition checked then pull the battery when tries to boots . Then flash JFD with repartition checked.

Probably you will need a couple of things in your tool kit.

You will need Odin 1.3 or higher

Pit file (there are 512 and 831) Guessing you will need the 512pit

Original JFD stock file 2.1

Eugenes froyo that does not brick

Remove the sim and the sd card, remove the battery have Odin up on the computer> then hold down the 3 buttons and plug in the phone to the usb connected to computer. If this works and Odin sees the phone (does not matter if it says com5 or 6 etc.) then you can go from there, If not then you will need a jig, people here sell them, i saw connextion2005 sells them but there are others (like 8bucks) or you could make it is 301k resistors tied to one 2 pins of the usb (do a search if you are interested).

Then the sequence for the fix is to flash the Froyo first that does not brick (do not check repartition) once it begins to reboot pull the battery out (does not need to reboot) then flash the JFD on top and this time check the repartition
Let this finish reboot> then use super one click root or other of your choice. Then download CWM and Titanium backup...... flash your new rom and you are back in business.[/QOUTE]

So is mine.

Somebody in the DOW thread said to use ODIN to flash the original Bionix Kernel only.

I don't see how that's helpful now since I've already flashed all the other 2.1 Tmobile roms.

This is F(ked.

unless somebody knows how I can flash a bionix rom using ODIN? I might be able to get that Bionix V stock kernel on there too.

Thanks
