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?

Howd you flash a kernal with no custom recovery

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

Ya with the clockwork recovery that was through rom manager...I was actually able to get into clockwork recovery too which is where I flashed that vodoo fix but did a nandroid backup before. Not sure where the nandroid went cause it's not on the memory card

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

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.

Hi I have the same problem but I still cant get into recovery, I go straight into Download mode. Please Help
It might be because your phone is connected to the computer? If so, try disconnecting it

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.

Loaded this up last night.....not one issue to report. I happen to like touch wiz (as well as everything else) I hope you keep this ROM going in a stock like direction. Maybe if your plan is to change launchers etc you could branch off. Anyway....well done I love my phone!
sorry but have to ask. how did you get cwm on phone? I cant get download screen. figured it was the 2.3.6 UVLB7 build causing it. just got phone 5 days ago. had G2x piece before.
Can you give me more details in regards to your question? Have you lost the ability to get into recovery? I had the G2X as well....CWM is flashed pretty much the same way as the LG (except without the NVIDIA tool)
Things are not far enough along to have a reboot option in the ROMS yet, try power tool or something like it, works fine for me.

I wanted to amend this after ongoing usage and say things are still running solid. I did notice a lower quality audio performance as compared to dknight. Not a major concern this early in the game by any means.
The audio capabilities on Android was and is the big reason I am here and not on I-tunes so i'm particularly sensitive to that area. I run completely uncompressed FLAC's (1411 kb bit rate) and have a 64gb SD card on my phone loaded to the hilt.
My work phone is a GNEX (with Black Ice and Axiom Morphr) streaming through Google Play so I have back up ...lol

You must install ClockworkMod Recovery before flashing a ROM. I'm currently using this ROM. I can still access ClockworkMod Recovery by holding volume up, volume down, and power button at the same time, then release after Samsung logo disappears. Don't flash ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager. See the thread below to know how to flash it.

I have done all this to my G2x piece of crap so it not new to me. On my new phone the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769. if I hold down the 3 buttons, vol up/dn and pwr, remove battery all that stuff I DO NOT get the "WaRNING" or download screen. It will only give me recovery screen after the Galaxy splash screen. I have tried every method available. I have tried every unlock I can find, oneclick and unlock and even Odin but it needs the download screen. It will not see phone till it totally boots. Was hoping you had something to install thru recovery screen to get to download screen. Have not tried ADB yet but have not read everything on how it works or what to do. Really have not found much info on ADB way to unlock.
So since everyone here is a lot more advanced than I am figured I would ask. Seems only a handfull of Blaze devices will not go into download mode.
1. Turn phone off and plug to pc
2.proceed to hold both volume and power button simultaneosly. Keep holding down until phone vibrates then let go of power button and continue holding volume buttons.
3. Let go of buttons as soon as u get to the next screen then press vol up to proceed to download mode.voila
P.s. I have the same baseband.
That should work for you, works for me all the time
If i helped in anyway hit the thank button
i just P.M you with a video on how to do it

Good luck
Sorry. Have tried and tried. Total time trying this exact method and others over the past 2 days about 4 hours. Will not go into download mode. Have all of the above installed and ready to go on the computer. Can get odin to connect if phone is totally booted up in working mode but that does nothing for odin. Same with superoneclick and unlock root. The last two are not configed for 2.3.6 on blaze 4g or something so they will not complete the root/unlock.
If I remove battery with usb plugged in it will vib about every 3 seconds. Once battery is put in it stops vibing but once you hold button it will vib one more time then "samsung" comes across screen goes away then blaze spash on screen and it continues to boot. Never see "warning" screen or download screen.
I have no issues getting into phone from pc or phone connecting to pc. Just no download mode.
As I said i did not want to take over your thread with this and I feel I have taken up to much of our time as it is. Thank you for your help. Hope someone has solution soon. Thanks again.

Just tryin to cover all the bases here, but you should be holding both the volumes and the power button when you put the battery back in. Then be ready to release all to quick vol up when the dl screen shows up. You should also be connected via usb.

im pretty sure that ive never been able to get into recovery, even when i had factory restored my phone. when i do the recovery start method (hold volume down and power) it tends to just cycle through the LG symbol to a box with an arrow pointing out to a little android man. which then loops around to the LG symbol again. any time i do this, it just eventually normal starts my phone, which puts the eagles blood symbol, then the phone shuts down.
When the little android appears, you must press menu button (on the left), one time only. If you wait or you press many times, the phone will reboot normally and will skip the recovery mode.

yeah when i click the menu button, (and i am assuming that the one you are referring to is the menu button on the actual phone) it doesnt even register that i click it, and continues to try and boot normally
is there a way for me to just unroot/ or revert back to the old way my phone was?
FIXED
UPDATE :
Thanks for all your help guys i finally figured out what went wrong.
1: firstly i used the incorrect method of flashing the recovery on my phone (i did it through clockwerk, and if you did this your screwed pretty much)
2: i did not have the gapps on my sd card when i ran the ice cream sandwich install.
i used this method to force flash the recovery on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
then i repeated the correct process on the ICS website, (this time with the gapps on my sd card)
The ICS rom is now running full force and i love every bit of it (though i feel like a caveman with a stick) and i am having fun re-discovering my phone
much love and thanks

Then today after letting my phone die completely "battery death" i pluged it in and now it keeps bootlooping and i cant get it into recovery if i hold down volume down + power it loops at the galaxy s 4g starting screen. If i let it go of the power button at the correct time it just bootloops. anyone have any ideas?

Then today after letting my phone die completely "battery death" i pluged it in and now it keeps bootlooping and i cant get it into recovery if i hold down volume down + power it loops at the galaxy s 4g starting screen. If i let it go of the power button at the correct time it just bootloops. anyone have any ideas?

The Recovery Is Volume Up + Volume Down + Power Button

Ok if i hold that combo it loops the galaxy s 4g splash screen if i hold the combo then let go of the power button at any time during the splash or right when it turns to black then it just normally boots into the Cyanogen boot screen then sits there spinning for going on 2 hours then i just pull the battery any ideas?

Battery Pull. Hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power. Whenever The Samsung Galaxy S 4G Splash Screen Comes On, Let Go Of The Power Button And Keep The Volume Buttons Held Down. Should Take You To Recovery

OMG YES!!! I have no idea what i did but i pressed the combo when i plugged it into my computer and it looped the battery screen twice then went straight into CWM recovery did not go through the splash screen like a normal CWM recovery start but whatever i got to remove the rom and flash the new Slim Rom . Anyone have any idea what could have caused this just so i know what to or what not to do in the future ?
Try using adb

To get to CWM recovery on this ROM, simply download 'Quick Boot' application and use it to get to recovery. It works.
Apex launcher crashes as well. I think issue is ROM related. Also, ROM is very heavy, I couldn't find why.
Edit: ROM is snappier after using CM performance features and letting cache do its work.

That's not very helpful if you can't get past the CyanogenMod splash though.

I got through the splash screen on 1st try.
You should check if you worked according to ROM instructions.
I usually always format system as well as wipe everything twice before flashing any new ROM.
I was referring to :
1. the lack of recovery button on power menu.
2. The inability to use hardware keys to get to recovery after flashing this ROM.
Heimdall One-click (in download mode) and try again.
You're right - I missed that option in developer features - it's called 'advanced reboot options'.
I'd suggest you get to download mode - one click heimdall and reflash this ROM after dowble wiping dalvik, cache, and format system.
I've flashed numerous ROMS to my phone before but have never ran into a problem like this.
-I went back to stock
-flashed CM7, as recommended from the OP
-downloaded and flashed CM10.2 but it gets stuck around 75%
I've been on this thread, and the rom thread as well as waiting a bit, hoping to find a solution or it figures itself out. Nothing! Is it unsafe to pull my battery when its at 'Installing update' (75%) for an extended period of time?
Also, i am on CWM 5.0.2.8
Thanks
I flashed it from ICS (Ultragen) and had no problem.
You can try that as well.
