I have my vibrant for a year now and installed Eugene's Ginger Clone with no problems for I think 6months now... but then suddenly my phone hanged so I rebooted it then got stucked at Vibrant Samsung screen.. I decided to Odin back to STOCK all is good I can hear the T-Mobile chime at boot but my screen is still stuck at the Vibrant Samsung Mode, before i Odined I managed to run clockworkmod did a restore back from stock same thing happened stuck at Vibrant screen. By the way I dropped my phone about 8 months ago and had cracks on screen but it is still functions like new.
Please help me even if I normal reboot my phone I can still hear the Tmobile chime but still stuck at Vibrant Samsung text and still lights up the buttons when I tap into it..
Your Help would be much appreciated.

Howdy,
I noticed on my phone that my screen locker looked wierd so i soft reset the phone then played a game of madden and looked down at my phone and it was at the orange windows boot screen hung up at it. I soft rest again then it would flake out at the verizon splash screen i soft reset a bunch of times and still the same results. I yanked the battery and let it sit for an hour and still nothing i replaced the battery and nothing.
So i proceeded to go into bootloader and hooked it to pc and reflashed with the stock MR2 verizon rom and now its hung up on the white htc screen with the red writing at the bottom.
Only thing done to the phone was HArd-SPL a week or 2 ago with no rom flashes after was on the stock rom.
Ive searched the topic also and am thinking i might have to do a task 29?
ATM im going to try and flash the first stock VZW rom and see where that goes but likely same outcome.
so do i have a brick or is there a fancy way to get it working?
got it working with the MR1 update so im good
I have a rooted Captivate JH7 stock rom stripped of bloatware.
I think the last mod I did to my phone was 2 months ago when I used 'unleash the beast' v1.
Phone ran great with multiple installs and tweaks here and there until, Today i yanked my sim card out and put into another phone for a few minutes then i put back into my captivate and the cap gets to the galaxy s screen and freezes.
Screen then goes and stays black while the soft buttons light up. power button stops working too. Tried plugging in thru usb to windows and boot but same result. black.
Need to jump start my phone but dont know what to hook to what anymore. Im pretty sharp but too rusty to get started.
someone please point me into a good direction I would be thankful.
Y!S

WELL HAD TO DELETE EVERYTHING SO I GOT IT WORKING AGAIN AND THAT IS THE BEST I COULD ASK FOR. THANK OYU ANYWAY!
bump for a little help. still freezes at galaxy s screen.
I have a samsung facinate i lent my sis in law to use after her strat blew it's mind. Verizon pushed an update, and she has had a lot of problems since then. The phone has started freezing when it's charging, the lock screen won't unlock. Sometimes the phone acts like the processor is dragging, it won't shut down apps like it should. Now it has gotten into a bootloop, it will boot up to the verizon splash screen and won't go any farther. We can get it into manual mode. It is an unmodified, out of the box phone, this is the second samsung that has lost it's mind with her. i had it 2 years and it never acted like this for me, I am wondering if the latest software push was too much for it? How can I get the phone out of the bootloop?
we ended up factory resetting it, it is working again, she has to reload all her apps. We still don't know why it was messing up in the first place
I have only had it for about 16 months now. It is a MetroPCS GS7 so it's a T-Mobile variant if that matters. Never been rooted or modified in a similar way. The same thing happened with my previous phone, a GS4 which never got fixed. I was just using a video downloader app when it suddenly restarted. It only shows the first screen for about 5 seconds then restarts. I have some experience using ODIN and flashing ROMs but I don't know what I should try with a GS7.
After a few tries to get it into recovery, this is what happened. The blue recovery message in the top left showed up but I didn't let go of the buttons this time. Then this rotating white circle showed up and said something like "applying system update". After about 20 seconds then I got a screen with the dead android and it said "no command" below it. Then I don't know what happened but then suddenly the recovery menu showed up. So I picked to just power off so it is just turned off now and no longer in a boot loop. I don't know what to do from here. I won't turn it back on until I get advice on what to do next.
If you just want to fix it without worrying about losing data, see if you can get it onto download mode and full a full stock flash with all 4 firmware files in Odin.
If anything is corrupt, Odin should give you an error message which might be enough of a clue as to where to look next.
OK so I flashed it once and it didn't work, it was still stuck. After that I just gave up on keeping anything and wiped all data. I flashed it a second time and it still got stuck, but after about 10 restarts it finally worked. However it is now on the T-Mobile firmware instead of the Metro PCS one and also I am having weird problems now. I would like to go back to the Metro PCS however I cannot find any firmware for a G930T other than T-Mobile. The problems I have experienced so far is the auto brightness does not work anymore, I have to manually set brightness even when it is switched on, the screen turns on for a few seconds when it's done charging now, and also I restarted my phone to fix an app and then it got stuck in a loop again. It took 10 restarts then worked again, but that is still a problem. I don't even know if I should still be wasting my time trying to fix this. I really don't want to buy a new phone right now but I also feel hopeless in fixing this one.
