When the power comes back, put it back into download mode again and run odin again.

Move this to general questions.
Ps. U can always restore with odin. Through download mode
First pay electric bill, 2nd flash bk to stock, from there do what you want.
I had a similar problem where in the middle of an ODIN flash I lost connection. First off, try just holding power and see what happens. If you at least get a response, then you're definitely not bricked. Try holding down power at the same time as volume up and down. If that doesn't work, or if holding the power button has no effect at all (that's how it was on my phone, the power button did not cause the screen to so much as flicker) then try this. Unplug the phone and pull the battery. Put the battery back, and then while holding volume up and down plug the phone into the computer. If you're not bricked then that should get you into download mode
It's futile everyone telling that this is in the wrong section, if he is unwilling to look for a solution himself and being spoon fed answers in the incorrect section, what motivation does he have to actually try to help himself or post in the right section?

When you can, pulle the battery, place it back in, put the usb from your pc into your phone and your screen should show a pc to phone error type message...that's because the process stopped in the middle... now press and hold up/down with the power button until that pc to phone goes away and soon as it goes away, let go power..don't let go the up/down toggles. Download mode should appear. Now close odin, open it back up, remove the usb cable from the phone and place it back in and now you should see the yellow connection sign in odin and you are good.

It seems that the first thing to do after you brick is to come here and post, HELP, IM BRICKED, AM I BRICKED, BIG PROBLEM. I have had every brick possible and not once did I post for help, All answers to all bricks are in the bible.
Like I already said, that exact same thing happened to me. Pull the battery then put it back in. While holding down volume up and down, plug the phone into USB. This should bypass the power button and cause your phone to boot into download mode

Thanx for your help man, but before I post this thread I do everything you and the other guys are telling me. I read the Bible and nothing works..
1st you want to download kies here
Then put your phone in to Stock upload mode by removing the sim and battery and booting with both volume buttons down (do this while the phone is plugged in to your PC)
Once that is done drive to a t-mobile store and see if they will give you a new one...
lol
Wrong section, and search is your friend.

Download mode doesnt work
It shows AT&T and keeps rebooting.. over and over. I have no idea if they will exchange it due to it being a t-mobile phone.
Maybe Try the jig
Not sure I know enough about the real issue other than you got the wrong rom. But, there is a jig you can make 301k resistor (or combo of a few to equal that number) soldered to a usb connector on # 4 & 5 pins look it up it will unbrick the phone and get you into the phone from there I not sure what you will need to do next but that would get you into the phone. Btw the resistors and usb cord less than 5 bucks good luck
Dude, you are being childish. I usually never flame but don't say you did because you didn't Enough. Slow down and take your time. If you are doing any kind of mods you should learn how to use Odin first, but unfortunately its always after the fact.
Learn how to use Odin, in the development bible I have a video there to show you how. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You are completely right. I was "trigger happy" you may say and I did it by rushing through it and ruined my phone. Luckily I have not yet sold my 3Gs and could use that until I get tmobile to exchange it.
The jig would most likely work for my case but I would need a step by step guide which unfortunately didn't find with images or video.
If I could just kill the AT&T boot logo it'd be perfect but sadly I can't.
I got the phone two days ago..so I am really sure I can get away with an exchange.
If you return the phone and it is booting with the At&t logo they will now you where messing with it and charge you the full amount of the phone which is around $400.
What you have is a soft brick. You can fix it if you bothered reading. Just follow this:

I wish mine was a soft brick but it isn't. That thread was for "phone ! PC" mine is a tmo vibrant that boot loops as AT&T captive since I flashed the wrong stock kernel.
Remove battery, SIM card and the external SD card.
Connect USB cord
Hold down both volume keys and insert the battery.
I love how everyone gives the same reply. The phone WAS FULLY BRICKED.
I took it to T-Mobile and said I did an update and this is what happened and they gave me a brand spanking new one! =D
Thanks for all your help though.

Pathetic, take some responsibility. Thanks for supporting a future of locked phones.
I've flashed dozens of ROMS, Odined many times and have considered myself savy enough. . .until today.
I was dicking around with some stuff and soft bricked the phone.
I thought, no biggie.
I can't get into Download mode. Help me. The 3-button thing doesn't work. Neither does the holding the volume buttons in while plugging in USB. Each time power hits the phone that stupid symbol pops up.
Please help me out folks.

That''' only work if he flashed the updated SBL... but sear, look around, there are guides to get out of that screen. Or better yet, get Heimdall, there's a command to get you out of it.
**cough** wrong section ** cough**
Try pulling the battery for 30 seconds then try the volume buttons then USB again. Also reboot the pc before plugging the USB cable in. If that doesn't work you may also try that same approach with the battery out of the device. I'm assuming that you're talking about the stupid battery charging indicator is the thing that keeps popping up amirite?
yeah just flash over the pc symbol when it comes up after booting i was amazed i could do that lol

Trying this now. I accidentally checked "re-partition". It says not to unplug it and "SET PARTITION". It's been like that for a while. When you re-partition does it take longer?

Heimdall I believe is linked to in the bible. As far as this situation, I was at a point a few days ago where I had no backlights and the screen wouldn't come on. Remove the SIM/sdcard/battery. Plug in the USB connector, hold both volume buttons, and re-insert the battery. This method has proven to work for me 99% of the time. Otherwise, you may need to buy a JIG that will pop you into Download Mode.

odin back to stock
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Or try that same method without holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb that works for some ppl
I frickin tried all that I still can't get outta that damn screen
And Odin won't see it, much less my whole damn computer
Edit: Still NOTHING. Am thoroghly convinced I did a hard brick some ****ing how and I'm about ready to shove this thing through a wall

No your phone is not completely bricked. I rescued my phone many times from that screen. Connect your phone to another PC, install ODIN & samsung drivers. Make sure that the phone is recognized,
ON ODIN Select only the phone.
use any modem file using Phone
Click start that should bring your phone back to life.
Search for Eugene Froyo that does not brick and start from there.

I am not sure, which froyo bootloader you tried to flash, but what you did is kill the three button combo on you phone.
If you were in Atlanta, I could have let you borrow my Jig. Sometimes these things are frustrating, but look at them as a learning. Next time you will know not to mess with bootloaders. FYI, you are still lucky than many, things could have been worse.

Rofl bro, exactly that happened to me... rxactly that the t roofl... heres how i fixed it:
First i tried normal download mode, that didnt work.. then i tried pulling out battery, plugging in, holding vol buttons and putting bbattery in... this worked
But then i stupidly.tried tto flash the froyo bootloaders again (from cm7)... same exact issie excrpt the solution didnt work this time... this time i had to make a jig...
Once your in download mode, odin with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... meaning open odin, plug in dl mode, once recognized, click start.. no pit.or pda or modem or anything and dont touch the repartition or whatever bullets. This wworked for me, it just rebooted into cm7 immidietly
Then if you want froyo bootloaders, do a nandroid, odin to stock, flash em, flasg cm7 and restore the nnandroid.. good luck

I decided to take advantage of someone who can get next day shipping for only $5 on amazon so I have a jig coming anyway.
Again, appreciate the methods people are posting, but I've tried em all. My only hope is a jig, and if not then.. well..idk honestly, buy a jtag box?
I've seen a section on how to use the jig device but I don't think its going to work. Heres the thing, my phone is completely dead, no "Vibrant" screen, no download in anyway possible, no charging screen. Is there hope? Please help me :'(
This happened to me once, I could not get it to respond in anyway what so ever.... after being pissed and leaving it alone for about 20 minutes I came back and tried this...
1. Open your phone and take our your sim card, battery and external sd if you have one
2. Plug in your usb cord
3. Hold volume up and down, DO NOT HOLD POWER only volume buttons
4. Place battery back in phone and watch for the screen to respond
5. Release Volume up and down buttons
This method got me in to download mode even though I tried it like 100 times, it was only until after I let me phone sit for a little bit did it respond. Even if you have already tried this.... try it again. I went thru the same thing.

Lets just hope it works, first have to put money in my paypal account. Kind of ironic how I've flashing ROMs here and there for a good while and the day I decided to go from stock 2.1 to 2.2 using Kies, it bricks >_>

Yeah i am guessing kies may be the issue. I would suggest giving it a try and if that doesnt work mobiletech jtags now
You can contact connexion2005 he is the best.
sadly.. for every 1 post I read about someone bricking a phone while flashing custom ROM, I read 4 or 5 of people bricking w/Kies..
did you ever have any 2.3.x roms on your phone? bootloaders?
"Kies ate my phone" is still an excellent way to get a new phone regardless of the current warranty.

Yes I have, I had GB bootloaders on the phone but never switched them back to Froyos BL even when I flashed 2.2 ROMS, could that have been the problem?

I know that you said you tried odin.... have you tried the One Click unbrick by Adam O and company? Sorry... that is heimdall to most... you can set it to load boot loaders for you, maybe this can help?
Hard Brick with Kies
Just wanted to say i did the same thing when i got my vibrant, i had busy box which i think was the reason kies failed on me.... but i called Samsung and they didn't even think twice about claiming warranty. They re flashed 2.2, and i bough the phone used of eBay, give them a shot.

Judging by the thread, I doubt its going to work. It needs to atleast boot, which is what my phone isn't doing. Basically it acts as if there is no battery in, doesnt boot, no download mode, no charging screen. Computer wont pick it up either.
I bought my wife a S2 i777. I rooted it with no problem. I downloaded ROM manager and went to do a back up. And poof the phone went to do the backup and then has died. The phone went to a black screen and will not boot up. The screen flashes but nothing. I am not sure what to do.
Thanks
We all want to help but since you're the owner and carry the device, it makes sense that you should do it yourself.
Try to enter "download mode", "recovery mode", using jig, ................ How to do that? Read the stickies as I can't remember on top of my head. I will post the links if I stumble across.
Also, next time, pls do read, prepare and understand things before you proceed further.
If you've read enough, you would know you shouldn't use ROM manager at all.
I thought we were finally done with these.

You are correct I did not read enough. I can't even get the phone to boot up. The screen just flashes. Sorry
Try going into download mode. Try with a different battery. Try charging the battery with a charger. You bought the phone new? You can try and see if you can get a replacement phone. Tell them that it just died on you and wont turn back on.

Thanks how do I get it on download mode. Sorry I have been using rom manager for a long time on several other phones. I did not even look on here first before I installed. :crying:
How about googling the simple answers for a change? Try: "sgh i777 enter download mode".

Got it into download mode
I was able to finally get my phone to be able to factory reset mode. Reset the phone and I am now good to go. I will be SURE TO READ all the post on here before I screw up in the future.

Do not tell people to do that that is fraud and not something xda supports.

I could not nor would have done that anyway. I bought the phone used. I am just glad I got it back working. My wife would have not been to happy. Plus I am not with AT&T. I use Solavei
