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.

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?

Your the first person I have heard that has a custom recovery on the Vibrant 4G. It's kind of hard to believe.

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"

This is the first time I have flashed something. I made a backup right before flashing CM7 using ROM Manager. Every time I turn on my phone, it gets stuck on the boot screen, where there is the LG symbol with some colors in the back. When I flashed it, it went to the boot screen, and stuck there for over 15 minutes. I pulled the battery, and tried to turn it on, and it gets stuck on the same screen. I have tried over and over again, and I have searched the Internet for answers, but I am still stuck. I have tried holding Volume Down and Power, and it goes to a screen with an Android and a box, but nothing happens after that. Please help me, I am new to this stuff.

I did try that. As it turns out, I was unable to get my computer to recognize my phone because, while my USB cable could charge my phone, it could not connect to the the computer (my dog chewed it up). I tried a different cable and it worked. Thanks for the help anyway.
Seeing that box after volume down+power means u didn't flash cwm correctly. U won't be able to flash any new rom if u flashed cwm using rom manager

NVFlash is a must for you to use CWM. Follow the instructions to a T in the above links, and make sure to let the ROM sit after the flash.

And as for the original problem of why it got stuck in the bootloop, you probably didn't wipe everything.
Hi there. I had a stock S4g, had froyo 2.2.1. I Rooted the phone. That went fine. I went to install a new kernel (baliSGS4G) The instal got interrupted, second reboot had the android logo flashing while the normal galaxy s logo was on, so I knew from there it was screwed up...
It booted up fine actually, and i was able to operate around in on the phone, altho the home button didnt work... I went ahead and tried a restart to see what it would do and it would stick at the galaxy s boot screen and the voice would say "restore operation" and just reboot and be stuck on a boot loop...
I CANNOT get into recovery mode UNLESS I remove my sdcard... if I do I CAN... BUT it seems as tho the cwm recover is somewhat useless to me now that the sdcard isnt in.... If I boot into recovery and THEN put the card in, it saws E: Can't mount /sdcard..
Ive tried wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset... nothing..
Any suggestions? THankyou!
use any one of the "one clicks".
p.s. gb is a better os

I will try the newer os If i can get this fixed.. Hopefully!

Try One-Click Gremlin Remover to flash and fix. Found this to be easier than Heimdall for the uninitiated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500427
1 Open Gremlin remover on PC
2. Remove battery from phone
3. Hold down both the Up and Down on the Volume Rocker
4. Plug Phone into USB (without battery)
5. Insert battery into phone and replace cover
The phone should automatically boot into Download mode, and Gremlin Remover should recognize the phone. This should wipe it back to stock but leave it rooted. Then you can start again. I recommend the SGS Kernel Flasher App to flash new kernels in the future. Much less prone to error.

You might refrain from recommending a different flashing utility (ODIN) when somebody has already started using Heimdall and is just asking for help to finish the process. All you are doing is inviting more problems with driver and USB port issues by doing so. You gave him a simple set of instructions that mentioned nothing about drivers.
And SGS Kernel Flasher is great but it only works properly on our GB ROMs.

I am not sure what you are asking since you are aware of Odin and Heimdall. Are you asking if you can still reinstall the Valhalla rom back?
You don't need the USB jig. You can access Odin or Heimdall by putting the phone in download mode. Follow the instructions in the guide.

Reboot recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik. Fix permissions. Reboot. If that doesn't do it you'll have to factory reset.
If all else fails and you want to try one last thing before restoring your phone and losing your data then flash a stock kernel like antonx stock with a twist it should boot your phone back up

thats also my another problem, i cannot access recovery mode neither.
Pull battery with USB unplugged so phone turns off completely. Hold down both volume buttons. Put battery back in. Press the power button for a second. Let go of the power button, but keep holding the volume buttons. You should now be in recovery mode.
So I was playing around trying to get Sound MOD to work(dont ask me y..I was bored) And I have bricked my phone.

Well, ADB wouldn't be able to do anything at that point anyway. It's not fully booted, or in the bootloader.
Have you tried powering it off, and booting to the bootloader? From there recovery, do a factory reset, and see if it boots then?

It is impossible for me to flash a rom. Cant get into a recovery to do it.
Ok so update: I was SOMEHOW able to get into recovery(TWRP) but no matter what i try to do it just reboots back into recovery..any ideas?
EDIT: gonna try verizon RUU. Fingers crossed
Just a thought here. TWRP can install from USB. I have flashed from a thumbdrive in the past on an S3. You may be able to do same. I know this is a shot in the dark but may help.
Will it just sit at the recovery screen or does it boot before you touch anything? If it will sit at the TWRP main screen you should be able to boot into hboot via adb and try a reflash of twrp or CWM. Your recovery may be corrupt.
You're definitely not bricked. You're catching breaks left and right.
