So I was messing with my Vibrant 4G and flashed a voodoo color and then it wasn't giving me any signal so I went into Odin and went to go back to stock with the AIO Vibrant Toolbox and totally jacked it up. I am able to get back to the downloading screen and Odin recognizes it but I need to get back to stock.
Hopefully there is a fix already or am I stuck with this like this till someone has something?
If I use the Hawk pit and then the tar for the VUV will that get me going?

I had rooted and also put clockwork recovery on it....I was so hoping you were going to say I could use those two files to get me up and going
I did do a nandroid of my rom before I flashed the voodoo...was working somewhat after voodoo until I tried to use Odin and then got into this mess.
Wish there was a way to just use my nandroid

Your the first person I have heard that has a custom recovery on the Vibrant 4G. It's kind of hard to believe.
I would love to help you out more, but I need the truth as to how you messed your phone up.

Alright I'll tell you since I'm the first it seems.
Root - SuperOneclickroot
Then download Rom Manager - Install Clockwork Recovery via menu
Reboots into recovery and select "reinstall packages" it fails so I went onto google and found the "3e recovery installer" script.
That didn't work right off the bat so I did some more reading and then used the superoneclickroot and selected "Shell root" and then ran the 3e recovery installer script again. It worked and then installed clockwork recovery via menu again and rebooted into recovery...selected "reinstall packages" once again, it failed but then did it again and bingo went into Clockwork Recovery.
From there I flashed the vodoo fix I found on the site where it is and then got back into the software but didn't get any service so I went into AIO toolbox and ran reboot to stock or whatever it was and then followed those directions and now I'm where I'm at
Now I know I had a ton of stuff on my memory card but now after messing with Odin and doing what it did I don't have anything on my card but there is like 4gb of space it isn't showing...
**Edit, and to make matters worse is I just bought this on Craigslist so I can't just return it to the store which blows**

Are you able to hard boot into clockwork recovery? If so, I would say try getting into recovery, mount your sdcard, drop bionix 1.3 on it and flash...just to get you operational. Then search around for the stock KB5 Rom, if you cant find it, I will make one and post it just give me 30 mins
Or you can try to flash the dump I uploaded

How would I go about hard booting into clockwork? I've tried holding both volume down and power and releasing when it shows "vibrant" but nothing...
Power down the phone by pulling the battery
Replace the battery and backing. Now hold both volume buttons and the power button.
When you see the vibrant screen, release the power but keep holding the volume buttoms.
When you see yellow texr, release the volume buttons

I wish it was that easy, when I release the power button it just goes to a white screen and then back to "Vibrant" and samsung at the bottom and keeps cycling that no matter how long I hold any buttons down

So then you have a Vibrant not a Galaxy S 4G, because the 4G says "Galaxy S 4G" not "Vibrant"
Anyways, Im not sure how to fix that, I would advise waiting for the official Odin PIT and TAR

Are you doing this when on a charger? It shouldn't be possible to enter download mode without a USB connection, the three-finger-salute should get you into recovery as always. MIUI is built on top of CM7 and uses LB's CM7 kernels.
Yeah, I finally got into recovery, I don't know what I was doing wrong.
It would boot loop when I held the buttons, but finally it just went through.
Thanks for replies.

The three-finger salute can be a bit finicky, but the following usually seems to work for me:
Pull/reinsert battery to ensure a "power-off" state.
Hold VolUp+VolDn. One finger for each - trying to hold both with my thumb fails for me a lot.
Hold power until the Samsung screen appears
Release power, keep holding VolUp+VolDn
Release VolUp/VolDn after 5-10 seconds
I have been running on the gb 2.3.3 rom (rooted) that I have flashed using odin back in summer and now decided to do some more upgrading . So I found a new rom that was very intriguing to me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305145 After doing some research I realized I needed to do a different type of flashing (cwm?), and not through odin. So I downloaded root explorer into my phone and followed the procedures in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508 but every time I try to put my phone in the recovery mode (holding volume up + down + power) it wouldn't go into the blue screen. Instead, it would just restart, and restart, etc.. Any suggestions? Do I need to do something with the kernels?
p.s.hahah after messing around and looking through forums all day, I got a little impatient and flashed gb 2.3.6 using odin in the mean time

Try this.
Basically do what youre doing but instead of keeping on holding to it, hold on to Volup+voldown+power for 2 reboots, then on the 3rd reboot, the gs4g screen in the beginning lights up a slight lighter than usual. Let go of the power button, See if this works.

This thread says the original GB rom changed the key mapping. Any ideas on where I can find a fix. I think thats what happened to me.
hmm I'm still relativley new to this kind of stuff as well, so the only route I know that you can do that will most likley fix the problem is to odin to a newer rom, perhaps the one I have linked above, then odin the kernal as well to get it rooted and follow the guide on how to do it if you're confused. Then turn off your phone, hold (volume up + volume down + power), screen should boot up then dissapear, boot up again, then disappear, and on the third boot up, just release the power button but continue holding on to the volume up + volume down buttons and just wait. The cwm screen should come up from what I experienced on two different sgs4g's. Hope that helps somewhat lol. I'm sure there might be a easier way to just fix the key mapping but I'm not to sure on how to do it. gl
I just verified that method works for me as well. I'm lazy, though, and downloaded Quick Boot from the app store as it lets you boot into recovery or download mode. Less fuss.
Tried Owain's new ROM with a dirty flash, (silly me ) and when I rebooted, I got the boot image, but it doesn't go past that. After this I was like " Oh I can just go back to CMW and do a clean flash". After the white LG logo the Blue one came up, like normal, but then it just turns into a black screen. I cant go on my phone OR go to CMW to clean flash the ROM. Any help?
So are you not able to get into CWM by booting up with the power and down volume buttons pressed? If not, are you able to get into the S/W update screen? (Battery out, volume button held down, insert USB)
If you can't get to boot into CWM at all but can get into the S/W update screen, you can use NVFlasher to reflash CWM. Or, at worst case, install stock.

Flashing stock just didn't work, still stuck at boot image. Im going to try flashing CMW over stock.
______EDIT_____
WHOOOOOOP!!! IT WORKED!
Ok, now I have CMW. but I still can't boot into my phone. Should I flash different ROM, because I think it is because of Owain's boot image that I am stuck.
Wipe completely then factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and wipe system and then flash a rom. If that's too hard then stick to stock, and read some more. That way you wont have to sit around pulling your hair out and stressing or sitting with a nice paper weight. Good luck.

I tried installing from downloaded rom and that did not work ether. I down loaded the odin and the Samsung drivers but the drivers don't seem to be installing right. The phone shows up under devices and printers but has an ! on it. I tried telling it to update the driver by had but I got this error:
Code:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP DEVICE
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I have the device booted in to recovery ClockworkMod Recovery because thats the only place I can get it with out it continually restarting. (I thought that the Recovery I had was called K-exec or somthing? It looks the same I think though so I am not sure. Is that what broke my system did I break somthing my flashing ClockWorkMod recovery over K-exec? Can I fix that from clockWorkMod Recovery. HELP

Upgrade your recovery from cwm touch to cwm 6.whatever.it.is. Cwm touch is buggy. I don't know how exactly you do that if it's not booting to the rom but maybe this can help point you down the right path.

Downside of all the one click this and one click that. You should be required to root at least once using odin and adb before having access to the one click tools as you may end up needing those down the road.

If you really don't wanna take the risk you can just delete it all with Titanium Backup. But hey, if you really want to, go right ahead. Just do a little more research before you jump in. We've all been there, though, so don't feel stupid.

I can't see anything, I tried to restore a backup just like from memory but it didnt work, I'm not sure which cwm version is used on cm9, but then I try to put it into odin mode and it doesnt go, can't connect to the cpu, doesnt go into odin mode, jus goes str8 to samsung screen and freezes. Anyone got any ideas? The scrambled cwm, from what I can make out, looks like its the one with the grey background... ne1 kno if thats the recovery cm9 comes with?

Sounds like you're still on GB bootloader..use Heimdall One Click by Qkster once flashed and return to stock GB rom then repeat procedure with tick mark on Flash Bootloader after that flash Entropy's kernel (all provided in the link) to get into red cwm then you can flashed your ICS rom after that.

Typo...I'm sure you meant he's not on GB boot loaders
Also to use Odin/heimdal you have to go to download mode not recovery
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up+down and plug in USB with out pressing power button
4) run Odin/heimdall

Cm9 uses the latest cmw (6.x.x) which is blue with gray background. You should be able to boot into download mode. Make sure you are doing everything correctly

Don't remember exactly and don't have a windows computer in front of me
But, plug your phone as if you were going to download mode
Don't unplug it even if it doesn't go to DL mode
Go to "my computer"
I think you go to system properties
There should be a thing under system properties for hardware, drivers or it might be advanced...don't really remember
Locate the infuse under usb ...it will probably be gadget serial, or something like that...to ease the process disconnect all other USB that way only your phone shows up
Double click it that should open up a window of the driver settings
Uninstall the drivers
Unplug your phone, go to the ISET page which is sticked in the dev section and download the infuse drivers (don't use kies...)
Its not necessary but i like to reboot after installing new drivers
Now try to connect to download mode
Good luck, I'll try and clarify those steps later

Hey man thanks so much for the help, I actually had to dl the same CWM recovery on my s3 that the infuse looked like It was running, then dl a Gb based Rom, I did Aeon, and move it to my ext sd, then put the sd in my infuse and boot into recovery on both of them and go step for step until I got to 'install zip from ext sd' and finally it worked and booted up normal after that, nowbI gotta see if I can get back into dl mode with it, But thanks a lot for the help, u guys are the sh!t...

And yeah everytime I try a 4.0 based rom, my recovery does that scramble thing, I need the newer bootloader? How do I get it exactly? Thru Odin?

Yeah...Odin or heimdall...I did it with heimdall using qksters one click back to uclb3, I flasshed once left the program open, then ticked the flash bootloaders box, put.phone back in dl mode and flashed again
Here's a different set of instructions for heindall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24901128
Will try and find some Odin instructions for bootloaders...not sure if just flashing a gb Odin will do the trick

Jscott has a gb bootloaders only odin pack that you can also flash if you feel positive about using Odin.
Be careful, a bad bootloader flash is the only thing that can really brick your phone for good.

Hmmmm no download huh???

Yeah I'm gonna try and uninstall then reinstall the drivers cause I still can't get into download mode the regular way, only way I can is using Aeon 4.1 and using the power button menu to get into it, but Odin still doesn't connect and my cpu says that the USB device I'm plugging in has Malfunctioned... Does anyone have a good trusted working site for the Infuse Drivers for windows?

He has only posted 1.4 for the rest of us.

Lol no oops typo. 1.4, but yeah Idk what's wrong my cpu keeps saying 'USB device not recognized' then it says the device has malfunctioned... you know how the drivers install on your phone when u plug it in after installing the drivers on ur cpu, I think my infuse got messed up when it was doing that, is there a way to delete the driver data from my phone? Cause my cpu will not recognize it, I've tried Odin, heimdall, Odin mode and kies, nothing works... I ttried restoring my phone to an earlier date, still no luck connecting .
