Can you get the phone into download mode at all? If so, fire up ODIN, use the same files you have above like this:
Put Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit in PIT
Put CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5 in PDA
Put SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5 in CSC
Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 in PHONE
Let ODIN decide what check boxes need to be checked and reflash.
well, i couldn't at first. the screen was totally dark and will not boot. luckily a jig worked fine and put me in download mode. i just did the PDA file without the other and the phone seems to work. i wanted to go to another rom in oredr for kies to install me the stock 2.3.6 firmware.
i did install it with kies first last night, but it was failing to find any wifi networks at home for some unknown reason. i wanted to try to do it at work, but i need a rom that will let kies upgrade the firm. do you know which one is good. i was reading that putting KD1 so i downloaded PDA_KD1.tar.md5 but it seems that odin does not want to install it. any ideas?

Glad you got it working. Bear in mind that sometimes that the screen is black it will still be recognized by ODIN. Scary when it does that,though
I flashed back to KD1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063696) in order to update to the official 2.3.6 with Kies.
If you don't want to go the Kies route, you can use ODIN thanks to RaverX3X (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176 or (also thanks to Raver) CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351783).
The easiest thing would be to Odin ravers file in pda only.
Then you can Odin A kernel if you need one right away or wait for the next one and use stock.

I've tried a few other forums but haven't got any replies, I guess since the Galaxy 5 isn't such a popular device. I figured if there's anyone who can help me they will be here though.
I wanted to put CWM on it so I could get a CM7 port on. Unfortunately it's just about impossible for it to get detected on USB. I've installed Kies (and even the generic USB drivers found in the SDK). In 2 days I only got it to connect once, and then I went and bricked it.
The one time it finally connected I ran Odin and tried loading CWM onto it. It still hadn't finished after half an hour so I figured it ended with an error that was never displayed. So I unplugged it and as expected - brick! I can get into download (upgrade/firmware) mode so I think it can be fixed if I can get CWM on it (and just install the CM7 port I had originally intended to put on).
Problem is I cannot get the darn thing to connect! to my computer I've tried two separate PCs, one running Window 7 x64 and another running XP x32. Is there a a certain process of connecting things? I haven't ran across anyone making mention of one.
Has anyone else experienced USB problems like this with Samsung phones? Would it even be possible to flash CWM on after it's been bricked like this? When I boot (normally) all I get is an image showing a phone and a PC with and exclamation error connecting the two. Please help!
Try to look for stock firmware on the forum.xda-developers.com and flash via ODIN. You need to be able to put the phone into download mode, so maybe get an USB jig. That should do the trick. Odin has to recognize your phone. First of all right click on the ODIN executable and select "Run as administrator" on windows. Plug the phone in the DL mode and wait until it appears as active in Odin. Then flash the ROM and pit file. (Don't use ODIN one click). If ODIN does not recognize your phone try a different USB port or reinstall Kies. The Kies trick was which I used and it was able to recognize my phone.
Thanks, martin0176. I can still manage to get the phone into download mode - it's getting recognized by a PC that's the problem.
Could you tell me more about the pit file? I only have an ops file.
Try a different cable. I was having the same problem on the Samsung Continuum and it turned out that the cable was working for power, but not for data.
Searched and didnt find an answer. ODIN only recognizes my phone when NOT in download. I can open ODIN, plug phone in and get yellow in com box. Yet when I put phone in DL mode, open Odin and plug phone in, ODIN will not recognize it. I installed drivers through Mini Kies. Any one have any idea? And aslo, Heimdall recognizes the phone also.
Ok so heimdall does see your phone? Have tried using it?
How are performing dl mode?
What i do is:
Take battery out...
Plug cable to phone and pc via usb...
open program odin or one click...
Hold both volume buttons...
Pop battery back in....
Download mode....
Program should see phone, run it...
Don't hold power button...k

I can get into DL with no problem as seen in pic but ODIN only recognizes phone when just plugged in....not in DL mode. Pics kinda crappy but you can see the :yellow" com in the pic with the screen save on phone. Also..is there a Heimdall of just the GB boot loaders anywhere?
ok...I cant get Heimdall to work either...I downloaded mini kies for infuse ....went through the install of drivers....tried to flash to stock through heimdall...it asked to install drivers..I went through that...tried to flash stock again and it keeps looping into wanting to install the driversl...anyone have any clue?...i have removed all previous drivers before install of infuse drivers....

Heimdall uses its own drivers so if you use it you will no longer be able to use odin on that usb port...
As for it keeps looping.on install drivers...sometimes this helps, close the program reopen it. Unplug usb, put it back in pc, Put the phone out of DL mode and then put it back in then try
Also may wanna try a dif usb port

Im new to all this phone stuff so bare with me, I have no knowledge of all these terms either. Example: Flash, Root, etc...big noob I know. Anyways I ran into a problem with the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (4g) IDK :crying:, I was trying to go from version 2.1 Froyo to 2.2 Gingerbread? I was using Kies Mini to update it, It was successful...than I thought..."ehhh this new update sucks!" So I was on youtube and I saw ICS..I attempted to down patch versions or I believe Flash?(Correct me if I'm wrong) my phone back to Eclair.. Uninstalling Kies Mini and Installing the Samsung USB Driver(Note: Restarted Comp)... Wiped everything clean from my phone because I had nothing really important on my phone.. Downloaded T959UVJFD.TAR, Odin3 v1.3, and the s1_odin_20100512.pit Files...Now I turned my phone into Download mode, plugged in my USB, Odin said COM3, opened my pit file along with the tar file. Clicked on start and received "FAIL" in the end, I turned off my phone, cell phone icon with exclamation mark in the middle along with a pc. Used OneClick to soft unrick? my phone and got it back to Download mode and safe mode but!!!
When I reboot my phone it Boot Loops?(I see Galaxy S over and over again) Now I was doing some research and I keep seeing something about USB Debugging?! I also seen it in my settings option too! Maybe I had to check that to get past Odin? I cant get into my phone to click that USB Debugging anymore either... So lost... Please Help :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Sounds like you flashed the vibrant files to the sgs4g.
Kc1 & kd1 are pre gingerbread.
Kj6 is the gingerbread
Search xda abit more. Find the oneclick back to stock.
I inherited a bricked AT&T Skyrocket and was very happy when I managed to get it into download mode by accident. But it didn't last long. Both Kies (2.6) and Odin (1.85) recognize the phone but fail to write to it. BTW, I used k0nane's thread file for the Odin flash. CWM failed to flash as well. Also, I tried different cables and different USB ports.
I have no idea how the original brick happened and I cannot do a hard reset. Besides the download mode, all I get is the Samsung logo or the battery charging.
I read somewhere that the next step should be a .pit file and a Nand re-partition but I can't find that thread again.
PS. Never mind the celox.pit approach. While I was able to Odin it, the ROM write failed after it.
Anybody got a link or some suggestion on what I can try next?
