[Q] Vibrant keeps rebooting, wont go into Recovery mode - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I installed one of Eugene's kernels for froyo (I believe a13) and then I installed MacNut R12. My phone froze on the Vibrant screen and I had to hold down power button until my vibrant turned off. Now it keeps rebooting and rebooting. It shows the Vibrant screen logo, then the Galaxy S i9000 screen logo and turns off and keeps repeating the process. I've tried to get into recovery mode and I've had no luck. I've also done battery pull.
I also tried odin, but I don't see how Odin can restore it since I can't even get into recovery mode (download mode).
Would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

I have the same problem please someone help!

Try the link in my signature! It will help you use ODIN to restore to stock FW.
And that should solve the problem.

Odin back to stock

Recovery Mode DOES NOT EQUAL Download Mode!
ODIN will work, follow the link in the signature of post #3 here.

Help Frozed while Updating ROM

I was trying to upgrade my Samsung Vibrant T959 from version 2.1-Upgrade1 to the [ROM] Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 Final *12/13/2010 available in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9841497#post9841497, however this has taken me to a major problem.
i have done all the steps available in the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
and when i did download the ROM i copied it to the mobile SDCard and rebooted, at the begging things went alright then it asked me to reboot from Update.zip when i clicked ok my mobile rebooted and took me to Black screen where i can see only Vibrant and Samsung logo and its stuck since over an hour
I have removed the battery and tried to go to recovery mode, however it gives me the standard recovery that will take me to the same black screen.
I tried accessing the mobile from USB, the pc detects it however i cant access the drives.
I hope i didnt destroy my mobile
Please help.
flashback using odin, make sure to hold down the volume buttons while powering on your phone, hope this helped.
When you are in recovery did you click reinstall packages?
btw is your phone rooted?
Thanks guys for your help.
Yes my mobile is rooted, as far as i know...
I'm able to access the recovery mode by pressing at both voluem bottoms and the power bottom.
I have tried clearing the cash and deleting user data, then reinstalling package after reboot...
Yet i'm getting Black screen with Vibrant and Samsung logo only...
i'm trying to download ODIN however i cannot access the SDCARD of the phone.. how to recover...
Please help.
Thanks
You're going to have to get your phone into download mode and Odin out. Search the stickies and read the bible on this. Once you're back to stock make sure you're rooted and have clockwork recovery installed then try again. PM if you need more help.

Sorry guys i'm little noob in this, how do i know that i'm in download Mode ?
Is the Download mode is Andriod system recovery ?
It's not in the recovery. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028&highlight=download+mode it's a great guide.
Just want to thank you guys for your advises, i managed to restore my Mobile via Odin.
That was really easy...

help with odin. semi-bricked

i was trying to revert to stock jfd from nero beta 3 using odin. however the odin failed.
now, the only mode i can enter is download mode.
i can't reach the recovery mode, and the only other screen beside the yellow triangle in download mode, is some picture of a phone connected to a cpu.
can anyone please help? i'm completely lost on what to do to fix this.
Keep trying with odin. Are you using the latest version of odin?
Load Eugenes froyo that doesnt brick
Try rebooting your computer and using a different USB port
Also, start odin as soon as you load the files on.

Odin won't find Bricked Phone

So my friend who is completely clueless about phones, tried flashing his Vibrant and bricked it. So when you turn it on, it will go through all the boot up screens and then the screen will go blank and the buttons will only light up. I can get into both recovery mode which is the stock Samsung recovery, and the download mode.
Problem is Odin does not reconize the phone in download mode, only in recovery mode and when I try to flash it back to stock in recovery mode, Odin never goes past the first step, just says File Analysis .... am I doing something wrong? I have Odin3 V1.3
try using Odin 1.7, it will only work in Download mode. You may need to install the Samsung USB drivers
Had the exact same problem this past week. Zylograth gave me the same advice. Cleared my problem rite up.. and I was using the poopoo version of Odin 1.0 just make sure u have the correct drivers

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Tab LTE 10.1 Dead

Hi there.. well, after trying to make my tab come back to life, I think I finally destroyed it. Can't get to Recovery mode (Blank screen) and Download mode does not connect anymore to the computer... it also goes to blank and then restarts the tablet itself when I hit the "Volume up" button.
If I hit the Power+volume down, it goes to this message: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So... am I dead??
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Guys really no one has any idea?
Just wondering if I am the only one with a dead tablet

Mines not dead and I can get to download with Power+VolulmeUP, but I can't get to recovery mode.
After selecting Android+Box, screen goes blank then Tab shuts down instead of recovery mode.
This was after trying to root using youtube video. Everything went fine until the last reboot into recovery. Now no recovery mode.
If you can get into download mode try and flash the stock kernel and Rom back through odin
Also have you tried recovery mode with kies, A dead tab is not useful =/

No I haven't tried Kies for that, I didn't know you could! I'll read the Kies help file to learn what to do.
I did use odin to start the rooting and couldn't finish because it wouldn't go into recovery mode for the final step. I'm a real noob, so when you say flash the stock kernel, do you mean get a stock kernel to flash with odin?
Mine is a 4g lte. Thanks!

The problem is that ODIN or Windows7 for that matter does not recognize the tablet... the only way to recognize the tables is through APX.
Have anybody solved this problem. My galaxy tab LTE 4G has bricked after i up a wrong rom. I cannot turn it on, nothing happen when i push power button

Sometimes download mode can work even if the screen isn't turning on. You should follow the instructions for download mode and see if Odin recognizes your phone.
if see odin has recognized ur fone, flash it with the stock firmware using odin!
Thanks for the response but I tried several times but phone is not booting up in downloading mode.

Try this (it may or may not work)
Launch PC Odin & get rom ready (I recommend LiteningRom [NB, it is custom rom that can be flashed via Odin]
turn ph off & remove battery...
plug ph into pc (NB, battery still out...)
**now you may need extra set of hands here (I managed it by myself though)**
now, hold the button combo to get ph in to d/l mode...
keeping the d/l button combo depressed... put battery back into ph...
hopefully ph will show d/l mode ready on screen & it will be seen by Odin :fingers-crossed:
(if above worked) flash Litening Rom & count your lucky stars...
NB, this saved me when my S2 had BSOD.... i.e. nothing showed on screen after flashing a recommended kernel (by a more experienced user/member - not the OP)
always read up before doing anything kernel/recovery related
Try USB jig.
