Hello all. If you are as tired of this ODIN method as i am, than you on the same boat. This sucks. But its all we have. So i have made a visual guide to odin. Attached below.Its a JPEG. Feel free to download it, rather than flip from pages to pages to find it. Thanks again. Any other requests please email me [email protected]
Here goes.
REMEMBER PEOPLE I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DECIDE TO BLOW UP THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, WARS, FIGHTS, and in NO WAY responsible for bricking if
Trust me, i have been in this scene 2 years now, since the g1, and i can bet that this phone will continue to blow peoples minds with its capabilities. This ODIN, is pre-historic. But the best way. I know there are 45 other flashing programs, guides, but none of them helped me like i bet this will help you. If you need any more screenshots of the process shoot me an email, or gtalk. Thanks again guys/girs.

I Can also do screens of all Lag-Fix applications, but only on request, cause once you get this, and clockwork. You should have the phone mastered.
added to the bible
Thanks for the thread. almyz125 has added it to the 'Vibrant directory' which is already a sticky.
Glad i could help guys. Anything else, let me know.
thanks!
Thanks Groid!
I have not used Odin yet as I am new to Android, but I am positive I will at some point.
One thing that would really help this guide would be all the necessary files that you reference. I know they can be found via a search.... but it can be pretty nerv-racking when trying what you need when your device is dying.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks/ Andrew/
You might wanna also add that you need to remove both your sim card and memory card in order for Odin to flash your phone.

Why would you need to remove anything, I've used ODIN about seven times and the only thing I had to do was have the phone in download mode...

+1 It is not necessary to have odin flash your kernel.
maybe mixed results? for me, i cant flash back to stock nor can i flash the kernal without removing both sim and memory card. if i have the sim and memory card inserted it gets stuck at the "zimage" part.
I've had it stick there before too, but I usually just close odin, unplug my phone, open odin again, and plug my phone in again. usually after that it works

They say so, i do, but once did with them in, and i was okay. But better to be safe than sorry.
And i will be posting the links to the various files, or the page that has the linkage, it is in the Bible along with this guide. Anything else let me know.
Sent from my iPhone6 with a$$-wiping capabilities, oh and FaceTime.
Its a joke people..
Thanks for this. While I felt like I had the steps in my head right for flashing ODIN...It was super helpful to have a pic reference.
does anyone know what the differences are between the 512 pit file and the 803 pit file floating around? Im assuming there different partition size layouts but whats the deal? I guess people have flashed the 803 pit file and it works the same as the 512 but what really changes i have yet to find??
please delete. answer found.
You justg saved my butter! My Bionix butter that is. Thanks guys, you guys are the best
the difference i do know is that the 803 pit file changes your entire system, and the way it runs. It sets it up differently, thats why you need it for generally most Froyo's or deviations of the i9000 2.2 (803.pit).
So other than a number, and a file system change .. not a thing
This was working just fine until I installed Master Rom 1.1 Now I can't use Odin. It'll load like it always did, I go to download mode and get everything set right on Odin and it Go and then it hangs. I've tried this process now 20 times to no avail. Any ideas what's hanging it up?

If this program has helped you, please consider donating.
There is a new download link as the Multiupload one was broken so everyone should be able to download the file now.
Description: To help automate flashing custom ROMs onto the Samsung Vibrant.
MODS: Please do not move this to another section as this is for Android development and is installed on the users computer not the phone. Thanks!
Disclaimer: I'm distributing this program as-is and no guarantee that it will not hurt your phone. So, use at your own risk and don't blame me for bricking your phone. I am to not be held liable for any outcome of the use of this program.

Things to do/know before using this program:
When you select the PIT and PDA files, it should default to the installed location and if not then browse to where you installed AIO Vibrant Toolbox as the files are in there.
Have .net4 installed. Download Here.
Enable USB debugging mode- Go to settings> Applications> Development> And then check the box next to USB debugging.
Have the ROM of your desire downloaded to your hard drive (In the program, Select ROM means the custom ROM you downloaded.).
Know a little bit about flashing and ROMs.
And that's about it. Most of the instructions are given to you by the program and are not needed to be written out here. If you find any part confusing, please comment in this thread and I'll try to implement it in the next release and I'll tell you what it means as a temporary solution.
If you ever accidentally press the download mode button when you didn't mean to, just unplug your device and do a battery pull.
To perform a master clear using ODIN, after flashing the stock firmware back onto the device, leave the phone plugged into the computer and keep ODIN open. Just click Master Clear in ODIN. !This will wipe everything off of the built-in storage (besides the stock ROM and stock apps)!
Download
If there are any bugs PM me and I'll try to get them fixed.
Just in case anyone wanted them. Here are the drivers in a smaller and automated installer that I created. It's the same that's used in my program so if you have my program installed you don't need to worry about these. -32 bit -64bit
Donations are appreciated if you found this program helpful:

Thank you! I've tried to make it as beginner friendly as possible as I remember trying to flash my first custom ROM on my captivate and had to read for like 3 days straight to finally figure out an easy method to do so and figured I'd write a program to help others out.
Very nice bro. Keep up the good work!!
Initial release 2.5? no 1.0?
thanks for the program!!! i'm just messing with you.
can't wait to try it out.
looks like a fantastic app... I do have one question. Does the app take into account lag-fixes, particularly voodoo? From what I could see it does not and a new guy could easily rely on the app for protection in these regards. If not an in app disclaimer might be a worthy addition.
Great app and it will come in very to a lot of people.

Doesn't flashing back to stock with ODIN eliminate the lag fixes? That's what I always thought.

Look for JPU download link.
Also download odin and pit files.
Open odin and ENSURE that kies is completely closed.
Under odin input the relevant files like so

make sure repartiion is ticked
put your phone in Download mode (volume down+power+home)
Your phone should have the yellow android screen, then connect it to pc.
a yellow box should pop up in odin (com:xx added or something like that)
Then press start.
alternatively just give it to the samsung guys to fixed and give your gf a spoonful and tell her to make it up to you
Creditss to bogdanSNB for his links and his thread
dunno what you mean by reparation is ticked...
all i did was wat you told me.. and now its setting partition... takes ages though !
problem is solved !!! i thank you and the guy who indexed the files !!
now we can start messing about again and even more since we know how to fix the phone ! !
no need for samsung guy ! and since i fixxed it my self il give my girl a spoon ful !

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Because you cant push a launcher or get into any settings menu, my only suggestion would be to flash a new rom. And assuming that the rom you just flashed (being completely stock), you wont have the 3 button combo although I suggest you try it. (Im not sure about the combos for 2.2 roms).
If you cant get into recovery/download through any method, my next suggestion is to buy/build a JIG and force your device into download mode, by which you can use ODIN to flash a rom.
You can make a jig for about a dollar or buy one for about 10. (Best purchase i made). Just take a look around the forums for more info on this.
yes i can get into where it says reboot system now,reinstall packages delete data ya know. not much experiance
and i can still get the usb modes when i plug in usb. kies media player mass storage.just an amature
Not sure if it would work...but odin3 v1.0 had a option for enable debug .could he just do that? Then adb push /system/app/launcher.apk? See pic

Be careful when flashing ROMS, be certain to read the instructions carefully and read the thread too, usually you will find all the information you need, any problems to expect and how to recover from these problems. Good Luck and happy flashing!
Hey guys I need a little help, well okay A LOT of help with my old captivate I had been running Serendipity VII ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107894&highlight=serendipity ) on it for almost a few months then loaned the phone to a friend when I got my S3 after about 6 months the boot loops started then after it bootlooped one last time and went black, the device wouldn't charge or do anything really. I could get it into download mode and I think recovery, I tried flashing back to stock and now it boots but after the purple/blue S screen it goes black and nothing happens except the capacitive lights turn on. I made a video showing this I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is wrong. I think something very important got deleted. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't know how to go about even setting that up to boot from extSD. I have another "broken" captivate. One of the color correction resistors (i think) came off the board so not the screen is yellow but still manageable. Maybe I can use my reflow station and get something going by making a frankenstein phone.

The internal sd is within your motherboard so if you can swap the MB from one to another, it should work!
Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?

You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.

Thanks again for replying back. Really appreciate you trying to help me. I am at work so will try it again tonight. But the tool gives an error everytime. I am using win10. Could that be an issue?
