Hello guys. My phone don't turn on when i press power button, VOL UP/DOWN buttons don't work also.
1. I flashed my vibrant with Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10*. Don't know why after what i can't access download mode by 3 buttons. I had Android System Recovery <3e>.
2. After that i try go to download mode with battery out method, and it was fine. Next step was downgrade firmware to T959UVJE8-factory-final-MS_Guru.
3. After that i had "Android System Recovery <2e>" message
4. I tried to reinstall back Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10* but something happend and Odin software Failed and i had "picture phone ! pc".
5. I tried both methods to go to download mode and after half an hour method with battery out and pushing vol up/down buttons accepted.
6. Then i tried to reinstall original firmware one more time. And it was fine. You can see screenshot in attachment.
7. But my phone after flashing turns off for rebooting and died.
When i trying to connect it with pc or charger nothing happens. Buttons don't work. Nothing on screen. Battery out not helped.
What to do??????
Did you try holding volume up and down and plug in usb cable method to get into download? I'm kind of wondering why you had those other files in there. The guides I saw just had the sit and the pda tar.

I think mbrock meant pit, not sit.
And yes, you only need the .pit and the .tar files.

Maybe this info will be helpfull. In this situation with dead Samsung Galaxy, Vibrant, Captivate only one ressurection. You need to open your mobile phone and reflash boot loader using RIFF Box JTAG which you can find only in service center. And you need to save your IMEI information which you must read from this address 0х80000 and this lenth 0хA80000. Thats all.
i tried that method you decscribed , now my phone is in MOde that say "power reset or unknown upload mode" any clue about how to get into download mode from this. odib detects my phone in this mode but i don't think it will load the software since it is not in download mode.

Ok heres the deal, I tried a bunch of custom roms eventually leading to hybridv3 then I tried flashing with the Stock vibrant rom and that didnt work so I went to Vibrant4, then stupidly renamed the Stock vibrant rom to update.zip and used android recovery to update packages. Now my phone goes through the boot up but I just get a black screen. Is there any hope for me?
Your Fired! Lol..jk
I would use odin to reload the stock firmware.
I can't seem to get my Vibrant to show up on a com port, I have the pit and the tar files but my vibrant wont show up in odin.

I did something similar a while back. You may need to flask the stock rom via odin. The link to the thread for it is in the bible sticky in this section. Set up odin before you connect the phone to the computer. Also if you use windows vista or 7 you need to open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. For it to work you need to get the phone to download mode. Pull the battery, put it back in. dont touch the power button. Hold the up and down volume buttons and plug the usb into the phone when the other end is already plugged into the computer. It should be in dl mode. Good luck

trying now...
Odin is doing it's thing right now, Thank you so much!!
Just to recap since the correct information has never been added to an OP:
You must install ODIN and the correct USB drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7657252#post7657252 .
Get the phone into download mode. Several different instructions have been posted meaning either different versions of the same phone get into DLM different ways or everyone else is posting the wrong instructions.
What works on mine: Have phone off, ODIN open, and correct USB drivers already installed. HOLD vol up+vol down and plug in the USB, and do not touch the power button.
Okay so i ditched the stock rom for axura 1.0 and am using it...but i changed my mind and want to go back to stock...but never made a backup of my stock rom in clockwork like a moron. Now i tried Odin and here is the weird part it detects my phone in recovery mode...but not download mode so now im stuck trying to get back to stock vibrant 2.1...any suggestions?
Thank You
Start odin first, then hold the volume keys, then insert the usb cable

This is the easiest way. Download Terminal from Market and enter SU (gives you root access) and then type reboot download
Your phone will reboot into Download mode
i tried the su reboot download and it didnt detect it and i reinstalled the drvers too no luck cuz it says usb device not reconized when in download mode but when in recovery or normal mode it is detected no issue
Here's how I do it if everything else fails. Have ODIN v1.3 opened up first. Next, make sure phone is in debug mode and make sure its checked . Next,while phone still connected to pc, remove back cover and pull battery out. Before inserting the battery back in, hold the phone side ways while pressing the volume up/down at the same time now insert the battery. Your screen should now display yellow big letters -
Download Mode - Do not turn off target.

Read the Vibrant Bible here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111 . Read the top 2 sections --Useful links and Odin.
By the way, is your phone rooted?
Have you tried using a different USB port? Sometimes that helps.
yes the phone is rooted and i tried using odin v1.0 and 1.7 ill try 1.3 idk if it makes a difference
One method I've read on the boards is to flash "Eugene's froyo that doesnt' Brick". Of course that is an Odin file so...we need to get Odin working for you. Like icandy said, try a different USB port and see if that works. If nothing else also post in Master's Axura thread and ask him/her what the best method of downgrading to 2.1 is. I'm not sure if you'd have to flash Eugene's Kernel Back Support or not. I know this isn't too helpful but hopefully it'll give you a few ideas.

So I was using Odin to flash the stock ROM so I could flash to Nero v3...Had some trouble with Odin now this icon is all I can get the phone to show me. Attempts to get back into download mode haven't worked. I've done the Volume up + Volume - and Power button.
Did I brick my phone?
Did you have voodoo enabled when you flashed?
Unplug phone. Open odin. remove battery. Plug phone in. hold volume up/down keys. plug battery back in. should auto boot into download mode. I've seen that screen a few times and managed to go back to stock make sure its 512 pit jfd rom. Not ji6 513.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That icon looks so familiar...
Do what boystuff said...exactly. Don't touch the power button at all. And for me, I had to also remove both the sim and sd card along with the battery.
So to recap: take all 3 out, connect the phone to the computer via usb cord, hold down both volume buttons, then while holding them down insert the battery. It'll kick you into download mode.

Get back into download mode and flash Eugenes Froyo That Does Not Brick, that will wipe everything and fix your Voodoo issues. From there you should flash back to JFD then to anything you want.

thats the problem i cannot get into downloader mode
Have you tried the batt pull method? You could also try adb reboot download. If these do not work for you your will need a Jig to get her back to life.
the Adb method does not work because the pc will not recognize that there is a usb plugged in with the phone and what is the batt pull method and if a jig is something hardware rigging i am a complete idiot when it comes to that

Just pull the batt out. Plug usb to phone only first, hold down volume + and - and don't let go then plus in usb to your computer while still holding volume keys and put battery back in. That should work for you. A Jig is a rigged hardware piece that forces your phone to Dl mode.
where is the link for the eugene froyo files? Pda & Pit files needed please link.
To get into downloader mode this works everytime for me....
Start up ODIN, make sure phone is OFF (take out battery) plug back in
hold both the volume up/down (or more near center)....
While holding that plug in the USB connector,
this methods works all the time.
Im stuck in bootloops currently and do anything no responses yet.
Sweet! that totally got me back into download mode...next question why am i getting stuck at file analysis?
bnielsen40, Boystuff, and Osuhsxr are totally right about the vol keys no crazy special soldering required.

Hello,
Please read the WHOLE post, as I've already done hours of XDA research and could not come across a similar situation.
I'm afraid that after months of flashing away, I've finally bricked my phone (for good).
I was ODINing back to stock from CM7, but something went wrong and ODIN froze. Not thinking it was a big deal, I took out the USB cable out.
This prompted my phone to not respond at all (no power, no recovery combo). However, searching around XDA, I found the way to enter download mode (through the plug in USB then plug in battery while holding volume buttons trick). I flashed the Froyo bootloaders, thinking that my bootloader was corrupted. This made the phone turn on to the "VIBRANT" screen, but nothing else. I still could not get into recovery mode through the 3 button combo.
I then proceeded to ODIN a JFD image, along with the 512 pit file. This put my phone into a non-responsive (read: no buttons work) state again, and so I flashed the Froyo bootloaders again. Once again, I was stuck at the "VIBRANT" screen.
Then I ODINed a JFD image without repartitioning with the 512 pit file. This continued to put my phone at the "VIBRANT" screen.
What went wrong?
I read up something about JTAG service; is this what I need? (From what I read, if you can access download mode, you're good to go, so I'm not sure if I "hard-bricked" my phone)
THANKS so much...
if you were on cm7 it was 2 button
3 button is for recovery
battery out\ reinsert battery
press volumeup\down insert usb cable.... downlod should appear
odin to stock

I can get into recovery, and I can ODIN to stock, but my phone is continually bricked--in fact, if I ODIN to stock, my phone doesn't turn on. (I know I'm doing it correctly because I've done it successfully before)

Sorry, but i had to ask, when you come out of odin and have green pass you should come out in recovery and either reboot or have an error message, yet you have the vibrant logo, is reboot checked? If all ese fails Aio toolbox, then you know pit, pda and if necessary drivers are correct. and not corrupted.
This is gonna take a bit more searching but your gonna have to find Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick. Odin that and then Odin back to stock maybe you can pm him for the files.

I figured out the problem--apparently the PDA file was corrupted. Internet here is spotty, so I guess it corrupted while downloading. I flashed the re-downloaded PDA file, and was able to un-brick my phone.
Hey guys, I really need help with my situation. I've been looking all over the forums for 2days straight trying to find solutions to my problem. I have a galaxy s2 i777 and I had the sho-stock3 rom. Then I decided that I wanted to back up my rom, so I used rom manager to do it. that's when the problem started. when the phone tried restarting it was stuck where it says "galaxy s2" with the yellow triangle. I put it into download mode and tried to flash siyah kernel..it worked..but when I tried to reboot my phones says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again. of course kies wont let the phone connect. and yes all the drives are installed for my phone. now i'm just stuck trying to flash stock firmwares for the phone and the stock rom but it always fails in odin. please help me!!!!!

Hello
My friend just gave me I777 with this problem cause he bought a new phone, he couldn't tell me exactly when he got that "connect to kies". I never flashed anything or installed any rom's, I just want to get it back to life. Any solutions for me?

Can you put the phone into download mode? I would assume the answer is yes if you still get the "connect to kies" message. Following are detailed instructions for getting into download mode.
Download Mode:
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
If the phone will go into download mode, you will need to use Odin desktop to flash the stock firmware. You should use the latest stock firmware. Go to the Download Repository and download Odin3 v1.85 from the link near the top of the page, and also download the latest stock firmware, "I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean)" from near the bottom of the page. It's the next to last item. Download both to your Windows pc, and then follow the detailed instructions below to flash it onto your phone.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
The phone should boot up normally. If it does not, enter recovery (see instructions in the download mode section) and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
