Just want to say thank you for all the hard work from everyone involved, ive been messing around with roms and such since the days of the G1 and have love Cyanogen and XDA..
So I just got my Vibrant and was trying to flash stock on it using the AIO vibrant toolbox with odin.
It said everything was ok and finished and im pretty good at following directions since ive done it several times before although maybe not the same way on the G1. anyway my vibrant keeps looping the Vibrant logo screen and im just gonna go crazy here at work.
If someone would please be so kind as to point me in the right direction or lend some help with fixing it and getting the stock rom so i can flash bionix latest rom on there, I would be greatly appreciative!!!
btw im still searching all the forums i can to solve this on my own. i dont expect to have it done for me without trying on my own first
edit: I've tried 3 different peoples tutorials and versions of odin or files to flash back to stock and it still keeps looping the vibrant word.
still seqarching tirelessly every forum possible but every one seems to have the same answer which is not working for me... I am in need of some direction pls

I am running 2.3.4 VUVKG4 on my SGS4G. Has anyone successfully gotten clockwork recovery on this device yet? I have tried multiple ROMs from this page, some brick my phone and I have to start over. Usually I am flashing with ODIN but not married to it. No matter what I have flashed, 3e recovery still remains.
This is a huge problem for me and I am guessing others as well. Without clockwork it makes things a lot more complicated.
If anyone has some kind of advice/tutorial/success story, I would love to hear it.
if you go in the sgs4g dev section, there are ALL KINDS guides for everything. if you are in the process of trying to get a GB rom on your device... this is your guide to do it.... in the midst of the process, you will be blessed with the red cwm that we all know and love...

This is huge. I havent seen a decent instruction set written like this for many. Im going to give this a shot tomorrow and see if this does it. I actually think this is the kernel i am using.

BTW this works. That was a great tutorial as well. I already had half of it done so it was just a matter of flashing the new kernel. rebooted right back into clockwork. Only thing I need to do at some point is ext4 my SD card to use lagfix but im in no rush.
first off, hats off to the entire xda community for all your hard work and dedication. I learned how to root my Dinc from these forums and been obsessed ever since.
that said, I decided to help a friend out at work with her Sammy Mesmerize. It took a lot of doing nothing at work 'cept for playing with her phone, and looking at different forums, to finally root the thing. Now I have CWM installed and it shows all the normal stuff but when I try to run a nandroid backup it says "cannot backup boot image" and terminates the process. Is there something I can do because I'm a noob and out of ideas at this point. I'm not gonna pull a Barney Fife and try to flash a ROM without it so I need some help plz. Thanks in advance
I had this same issue w/ a Showcase... I'm curious to see how to correct it.
hi guys i have a evo 3d gsm i rooted with revoulutionary worked great i have s/off i also have been running leeroid kernel with infected ethernety rom for he past month i have always used rom manager to load roms and always worked well so i tried to load a red theme without reading much on it and i ended up getting into a boot loop and i cant fix or flash any new roms to fix this problem because the clockworkmod recovery dosent respond it just goes to a black screen with a hat, i have tried to use fastboot to flash a new recovery but i guess im still new at this and im kinda stuck im like the only person i know up here in montreal that messes with androids so i could really use some detailed instructions on a soultion im not finding any threads with a real understanding of what i could do to fix this any help is would help thanks
Somebody please help
Can someone please giver some direction to at least reinstalling clockwork mod through fast boot please
did you make a back up of your rom before you flashed infected? flash your back up.
Yah I made a backup a few weeks back but Shari think I need to do is install a new recovery through fast lot but I'm not sure of how to do it some people say to use sdk it I don't know what I'm doing I'm kind of a noob at this stuff
who's Shari? anyways I would flash my back up and see if that resolves the issue but its up to you, I don't take any responsibility on what happens.
Sorry I don't know who Sharri is either lol miss spell but anyway that we're my issue is cuz I can't flash anything cuz clockwork mod recovery doesn't work every time I try to use the options it just goes to a black screen with a hat I can't even reboot I have to pull the battery to get out so I'm looking to do is flash a new recovery so I can try a restore of my backups but I'm not sure of how to do it
I just flashed sky ICS on my skyrocket and it keeps rebooting right when the blue flame starts to go across the screen. I followed everything step that the thread told me to. I can get it into download mode for odin but thats about it. please tell me that my phone isn't messed up and theres an easy fix. if anyone can help me that would be awesome.
figured it out
I'm not sure how to delete the thread and I feel like an ass for posting before I did a lot more research. I just recovered using Odin. Everything is backed up so no worries. This was my first time flashing a custom ROM. I know. I know. Noob right??? At least it wasn't completely gone. If anyone has any trouble with anything like I just went through then let me know because I know what it feels like to be freaking out thinking that your phone just became a paper weight. And for anyone that is new to custom ROMS. READ! READ! READ! as much as you can about custom Roms and rooting before you proceed to do it yourself because you could end up in a worse situation than I did. If you have soft-bricked your skyrocket, I can help.
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
