WARNING: You must be comfortable using Odin when flashing this. It is very difficult to brick using Odin, but I don't want to handhold people through fixing their devices.
This is Clockwork Recovery beta 2, it is tailored for the Vibrant. Please let me know how it works.

Please join #koush on irc.freenode.net to report bugs. I can't check all 4 XDA threads
Works for me...but so did the first one...so I guess risk may still remain for others.
Ok so I started ODIN, put my phone into download mode, and opened up the new PDA file.
Now my Odin has been stuck on this message for the last 10 mins.

Yes, when flashing you always need to load the PIT file. I use 512 as it doesnt cause as many problems. Try to hit reset on odin and load the pit file and flash again...As long as you didn't have repartition clicked you should be fine. And without the PIT file it prob didn't even flash anything.

It'll also stay like that if you forget to check "Force Reboot".
While this didn't brick my phone...it made my brand new out of the box vibrant to where it doesnt boot the stock firmware. Thought it was working fine, but spoke too soon. And now it just boots back to the battery indicator everytime. Nothing a new flash can't fix, but just saying for feedback purposes.
****Edit****
Phone just randomly booted....it seems to be acting erraticly...not sure what the difference that caused the phone to start booting.
Same as fykick if I leave the usb plugged in. If I take the usb out and turn it on it gets to the lock screen and then reboots, continuously.
Edit:
Did a wipe and rebooted the phone a couple of times and now it is running ok
Worked for me, although navigation keys are somewhat strange, have to press vol down key to go up

Yeah, until the recovery is specifically written for the Vibrant, it still contains the keymappings of the INTL version where the volume buttons are flipped.
Now started to get kernal panic...tried reflashing couple more times ...same thing
I can now boot into clockwork recover, but my phone keeps crashing, I've tried resetting everything, but I get continuous errors like:
Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly.
I get them every few seconds. Sometimes the error is for web other times media. These pop up over and over and don't let me do anything. Any ideas?
I was successful in flashing clockwork and successfully created a nandroid.
There were however issues that were present with the 1st build. The phone would loop reboot if the SD card was inserted. If removed the phone would boot and stay functional, however once the card was inserted it would reboot loop again within a couple min. Had "force closes" on the market and file manager.
Oh and the only other thing was the "Home" button acted as a back button.
I posted these on the irc channel Koush, but I do not believe you were in there at the time.
For those of you having huge issues, following this should set you straight.

I'm such an idiot, I tried fixing my phone by flashing it to a stock rom (after repreated crashing after install Clockwork recovery today), not realizing that it was a Captivate rom, and now all my Vibrant will do is load an AT&T World Phone screen over and over. I used the one click Odin/Rom thing from the Captivate forum (obviously not realizing that's where I had ended up).
out of curiousity where is everyone getting this 512 pit file? the only pit file i have is the one that came with odin but it is 513
ok answered my own question....use search first
sorry

Check out the link in the post above yours. Should help with your issue. Good luck.
Yes, it did, thanks. Back to a stock-ish ROM. Will retry Clockwork later today once my heart starts beating again... Modding my new baby is like a rollercoaster ride.

No point in trying until he releases an new one. The others will just put you right back were you were before.
I have odin v4.03 from flashing behold II roms wondering if this is the corect version since some of these posts mention odin3. thanks
will clockwork recovery wipe every folder on the phone? or will the /sdcard folder remain? (I believe the /sdcard is the phones memory ~16gb) thanks

Pull the battery, get back into download mode with the key combo and start again. Odin is finicky and sometimes takes more than one try.

Well the log says "removed" so somehow your USB connection got interrupted... which means your phone is going to be in Phone/Computer screen hell.
Close Odin, unplug your phone, pull out your battery/sim/sdcard.
Open Odin, put in your battery, attach USB, and hold both volume buttons without applying power to get back into download mode to try again
If that doesn't work:
Unplug the phone from everything, hold both buttons and power... keep holding power till the screen turns off, continue holding power- the screen will turn off a second time, at that point release power and continue holding the volume buttons and you *should* get the download screen
Thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, Odin doesn't seem to see that it's connected. I don't see anything in the ID:COM boxes. I changed USB ports, nothing. Should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

Odin won't see it unless the phone is powered up in download mode, if you've gotten it to download mode and Odin still can't see it then yeah... your drivers might be fubar
Odin tends to work best for me if I get everything set up in Odin just short of pressing the start button before connecting the phone to the computer and putting it in download mode. Maybe it's superstition, but it seems to help me avoid some of those timeout issues.

I'm curious..what happens when you remove and replace battery, hold power up and hit power...wall o text?
Got it! Everything installed, super root added. Thanks for all your help!
Ok I apologize if this isnt where this belongs, but i have yet to find an answer i understand. Is odin a program that i can download to a desk top computer and run? I keep seeing open odin and do this , open odin and plug in phone. its always sounds like an easy step, but for someone who doesnt know how to even get odin, it has prevented me from doing alot of things with my phone. I see "needs odin' an i move on to the next thread I know its a firmware to help flash roms, but that is about it please educate a supernoob lol
I understand what you mean, I just got my captivate yesterday and spent a six+ hours figuring that stuff out. I think I might try to write up the steps I went throigh to help other Android noobs like me. I'm coming from an iphone so this is all new for me. The good news: I figured it all out finally and so can you. I now have JH3 installed, and the super root mod, overclocked and evertything. My quadrant score went from stock of around 900 something to 2160 after all the tweaks I applied. I cant wait to see how it performs with 2.2!
Ok, so basically heres what i figured out; to use Odin, you'll need a firmware image, and Odin will be included. I recommend upgrading to JH3 and installing SuperRoot. It makes everything pretty painless. SuperRoot installs lagfix, root, and much much more all at once.
Search for the SuperRoot thread (IIRC). In there is a link to instructions on how to restore your phone to stock. Look for the thread on JH3 and get that image. Post 6 in that thread has instructions, and the restore to stock thread has more of an explanation. Then, you can do whatever else you need. HTH.
Ill get on my pc in a minute a put the links in here.

You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."
Once you've restored, you can follow the instructions for the first link I gave (SuperRooterExtreme). Or, you can do whatever else you want. This is just what I figured out yesterday.
I know what it's like to not know what Odin is! Took me forever to figure it out, I downloaded all kinds of stupid crap before I got it right.
The odin I downloaded from the samsung firmware website is only 167kb and an unknown file that won't open what's that about

Guys,
I followed this THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
"Extract tar file from the ROM(remember to extract it till tar, dont go deep). Put the phone into download mode (vol. down+home+power buttons),
Start odin, then only connect the phone via USB. Choose continue on the phone, Now ID:COM box shud turn yellow (see Image)
Make sure that only two boxes are checked in odin - Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.(See Image)
- If your downloaded ROM contains single file
Choose PDA button in Odin and select tar file you extracted before"
I followed the instructions properly and didn't got any error during flashing, after flashing screen comes up but nothing is working !!!

it shouldnt matter which GB firmware you download, However the above procedure was for a firmware of 1.tar file, Was yours also a 1 file firmware or a 3 file firmware (PDA, Phone, CSC)

What i mean is when you flashed with ODIN, Was the firmware you flashed in 1 file or 3 files ?
If its one single file it will go into the PDA section of ODIN, If it is in 3 files it will go into different sections (PDA, Phone & CSC)
Check the firmware you flashed and tell me how many .tar files are inside it

no option in ODIN, Do a full wipe in recovery, ONLY IF YOU ARE ON GINGERBREAD.
to get into recovery, power off the phone or remove and reinsert the battery, Hold volume UP button + Home button + Power button all at the same time, use the volume keys to navigate to wipe data / factory reset and power button to select.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Nope I havent, Only PA, However, Now you know the steps, try them all out and see which ones you like
Just be careful and dont skip any steps
Hello, I've had my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 for about a year now. I've never rooted it before.
This morning I was browsing my phone and it just shut off and went to the "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" boot screen.
I saw on other forms instructions on how to hard reset the N7000 (Remove battery, put back in, then hold Volume up, Power and Home button, then it gives you a menu to choose from)
When I do that it doesn't give me a menu screen, It just goes to the boot screen I described above, or it goes to the little green android man with the rotating object in him, then back to the (GT-N7000) boot screen a few minutes later.
I have a macbook, so I can't use the odin program. (Nor would I know how)
I don't mind wiping all the data from my phone and restarting from the beginning.
I have all the stuff I need (phone numbers) stored on my google account. And I can redownload my main apps I liked.
Any ideas?
Update
I have a windows computer I can use, so I want to use Odin to put the normal firmware back on my phone.
I am having a hard time finding the USA firmware for the GT-N7000. I have been looking all around but cannot seem to find it.
Can anybody help me out?

Slight Problem...
I'm using Odin v1.85 following the instructions above and it has gotten stuck on "NAND Write Start!" for the past 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like it is going to do anything. What should I do?
Still? Wait for some more time. Then kill kies processes and run odin as administrator. Boot into download mode again. And try.

I waited about 15 more minutes then held the power button to turn it off. So now it's off and charging again.
These may be really really dumb questions, but:
1) how do i kill kies processes?
2) And how do I run as administrator?
Sorry, I'm sorta windows inept since I've been using a macbook for the past 5 years.
Open task manager and check anything related to kies. Also make sure samsung usb drivers are properly installed. If not or in doubt, download and install kies first. Then plug the phone in and with for the drivers to install.
On the phone and check what is the message on screen, if it's a firmware recovery screen the try connecting with kies recovery option. If still stuck on logo, kill all kies process. Right click on odin and run as administrator. The put phone on download and flash.
Trying it soon
I didn't have kies installed, so I am installing it right now. So once that is installed I will try it out and let you know if it works :fingers-crossed:
Updating right now
I just started updating at 10:28
I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.
By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked.
Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?
I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.

I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?
Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...
I don't want a really expensive paper weight
DEAD
It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in.
I guess this is the end

Hello folks,
First I must say that before I post this thread I searched for days to find out a solution, I tried everything I know about to fix my issue without luck.
What happened:
I was on cyanogenmod 10.1.2 (4.2.2) with semaphore kernel 3.0 everything running flawless for month nothing much to say.
I dismounted my external SDcard 16go to switch for another one 32go while the phone was on (I did this multiples times before without issues) but when I mounted it back I had a "searching for error" notification so I waited for a time and my phone gone off alone.
I power it on back but my screen just show "Galaxy S I9000" logo and nothing else happen. So I waited for a time, removed the battery, and power it on again but no luck, my phone seems to have a bootloop I thought.
I decided to flash back to stock rom in order to fix it (I did this before when I got bootloop with froyo, gingerbread, ics ... good old day )
My phone is an international I9000 PRO (belgium)
I flashed a XXJVU stock rom with repartition on PIT 512(because of different partition format from cyanogenmod) with ODIN, everything is running fine from ODIN, no errors, the phone reboot but still no luck : stuck with the Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing else happen.
I can get download mode but no recovery mode, so I tried to flash a semaphore ICS kernel: no luck again, no recovery available.
I started to get worried and tried everything possible from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775
Still no luck my phone is stuck to this Galaxy S I9000 screen. I can't get recovery mode, only download mode.
I flashed another stock rom :GT_I9000_XWJW5_XDJV1_OXXJVC_Sbl because of the sbl as I thought my boot partition was screwed but still no luck, no boot past the Galaxy S I9000 screen.
I just have the download mode available that is all.
My battery is at 100%
ODIN flash without any errors
What can I do in order to fix it? and if I can't, can I try to save my internal SDcard documents (photos, pdf, doc ...)? Can I mount my internal SDcard from download mode to fix this loop? or to save my important documents?
I am sorry for my basic english, I thank you in advance to anyone who try to help me.

I dismounted my external SDcard 16go to switch for another one 32go while the phone was on (I did this multiples times before without issues) but when I mounted it back I had a "searching for error" notification so I waited for a time and my phone gone off alone. .

Remove your External SD card and try, could be wrong format, as it needs to be formatted in phone first.

I've already did that in the first time.
Now I retired everything from the phone (sim card and SDcard) to flash a stock rom in order to fix this bootloop but still no luck.
I couldn't pass that Galaxy S I9000 screen, nothing happen.
I don't have any recovery mode available now, only download mode.
When I flash a stock rom (I tried JVU, JW5 full stock) ODIN says nothing wrong, everything seems to go fine, but the phone is stuck at start screen.

The phone reboot but still stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I still don't have a recovery mode, only download mode available.
I couldn't flash a CF-Root kernel because the first flash did not complete the first run (I guess) and even if I flash a CF-Root kernel (jvu, I tried it before) I still don't have a recovery mode.
I feel so sad, maybe my internal SD is screwed ... I had this phone since 3 years, did alot of flash before, got it bricked, saved it multiple times without any issue, strong device but now I think it's done, the end
Now, if you know a way to read the internal SD without recovery mode you are a god
I think I will give up.

well, you can always use external SD card, when your internal SD card is fried...just read this and related links in it , first to digest the issue and try when you are SURE how you would proceed, the easiest is having a single SD card partitioned into two to act like its the internal and external.
The problem here seems you had made a swap, and that needs to be undone

This is my first post so I'm sorry if I did not post this in the right place or didn't do something else regular-place to these forums. Please guide me in the right direction if I didn't. So I rooted my phone with Kinguser and then switched it to SuperSu pro using the in-app instructions ins SuperSu. My goal is to install Xposed onto my phone but part of the problem is that I have to boot and manual recovery with TWRP or something similar for Xposed to work on my S4 (specifications above). But every manual recovery app I download works up to the point I actually try to reboot. All of them can find my root access and say they install successfully, but when I hit reboot and recovery, it always goes into Odin mode (and in the top left corner of Odin mode it says cannot reboot normally). I can get out of Odin mode easily so the problem isn't that I'm stuck there. I just want to know how to proceed with reboot and recovery when every time I try it goes into Odin mode.

Easiest way is to go into download mode(Odin mode) and flash TWRP via Odin. In Odin make sure to uncheck reboot and f. reset once TWRP is flash unplug and pull the battery and reboot directly to recovery (power & volume+) once you get into TWRP it'll stay after that. Then just reboot your phone normally. Also within TWRP you can flash SuperSU.

Thanks for the response!! I found the twrp file on their website (one which is a .md5 and one which is a .img which both don't work). They would both just freeze in Odin. So I found a tool online that turns .img files to .tar file. Link to tool below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281287
with another thread that helped to fix the runme.bat file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42511844#post42511844
and that helped make a .tar file which doesn't freeze up Odin, but when I run the .tar file made from that tool, the manual flash using Odin runs through and fails. the Odin prompt is shown below.

Pretty much everything. I would not trust converting files like that. High potential for bricking your device.
The link I gave you is a .tar file that Odin likes. The md5 is at the top, yes, but you need the tar file just a little further down.
I linked you the latest one that is .tar. Newer versions are in .img that can be flashed in recovery.

I downloaded the .tar file you linked above and tried it and it still failed. So to be descriptive as possible the first thing I do is plug my phone (without twrp installed) into my pc. Then I turn it off. Then I try to reboot. Phone can't reboot and forwards directly to Odin mode. I download the .tar file you linked me above. I do not unzip the file. I have Odin3 v3.07 installed. I open Odin and uncheck Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I click on PDA and select the unzipped zip file for flash. Nothing is said in the message display after that and is still at.

Phone isn't bricked but it seems that the .tar file linked above isn't working as well. Is it my phone probably?? Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 Lollipop rooted with Kinguser and then switched over with SuperSu pro via in app instructions?

Thanks so much for all the help!! After that linked I found a bunch of conversations that helped. If you every help out with someone with the same specifications on their phone then I had there's not much I can say that can help as far as Lollipop goes. I could not find a way to get Xposed on my device as is. But if anyone really does want it, I found that if you find the right .PIT file and the stock ROM for a previous version of Android (I tried a few which all work, but I would suggest KitKat because why not) then you'll be able to do anything you want without all the heartache. After I used Odin to flash KitKat onto my device, I found that I didn't even need TWRP, Xposed installed quite nicely, and even though the layout doesn't look quite as nice as Lollipop, you can find a bunch of display modules in Xposed that fit the bill quite well.
All in all, Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T SGH-I337 5.0.1 and want Xposed?? You're screwed. Flash KitKat.
