OK.. start up odin with the stock odin files on here.. the easiest wat to enter download mode is hold down the vol up and down... then plug in the usb into the phone... BAM!!! instant downlod mode, and odin will see it.. works 100% for me..
I tried to press two buttons volume up and OFF button and also there is another way remove the battery and keep pressing Sound buttons , put again the Battery wile ur pressing connect the USB to PC and to your phone ,, after that will come download mode.
BUT I need Help in my issue.

Sound like you are super screwed. Well if the phone boot up to the vibrant screen, there's only one thing to do. Buy a new phone
Get it into DL mode by taking out battery and sim, holding the two volume buttons, then placing the battery back inside while still holding everything. Then let it sit in Dl mode so battery can charge i guess. then odin back should work.
if ya want to, you can ship the phone to me with $50 and ill fix it for you. if I cant fix it, ill ship it back to you with the $50. sound fair? PM me.

This is what I was asking you if your phone doesn't turn on at all whatsoever, you have a brick. At that point, there is nothing you can do to fix the phone other than replacing the motherboard. Maybe the battery is dead? check check check. If the screen lights up in any way or the buttons do, you can get into download mode and use odin to re-flash back to original firmware. If your phone doesn't light up at all, you cannot fix it.

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.

Guess I really just don't get why it REFUSES to leave that screen. I myself have saved my phone from that screen a few times myself, now it just won't. No matter what I do it just sits there. Doesn't matter the button combo, doesn't matter when I pull the battery or plug in the USB, not a goddamn thing.. and of course I don't get paid til tomorrow so, I'll have to wait through the entire weekend plus however long it takes for it to arrive so.. if someone could please come up with a solution that makes it so I don't have to go back to my chinsey little mytouch for a full week let me know.

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.

All I was trying to do was odin to stock and flash the stock froyo bootloader so I could get CM7 working, like so many have done before me. Between all the other **** ups I've been making this last month, this one's kinda pushing me over the edge.

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

Well happened to me too. Yesterday was my first day using Galaxy S and I bricked it 4 times
What you need to do is this:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Take out your sim card, memory and battery.
3. Keeping volume+ pressed insert back the battery.
4. Keeping the volume+ pressed connect the phone to the usb corb. (note the usb should already be plugged into the pc).
Voila you are in the download mode.

Regardless, this is the main reason I have no intention of ever messing with bootloaders. Just too risky.
Hello all,
I bought a m250l from korea, and it was working well, I tried to flash Lightin' rom on that phone, and now I can turn on the phone, but the screen doesn't work (it only shows some weird yellowish dots everywhere, I think one of the users have this problem too, but I couldn't find the thread). I can see the led on the Home and Setting button, and when I press the screen, I still hear it ticking. I think the solution is to go to Setting -> Debug and turn the debug usb mode on and reflash, but I can't navigate with the screen off :|. Kies doesn't recognized my phone. Any solution?
Please help and thanks
First question has to be is the rom you flashed compatible with m250l .
Looks like you need the USB jig to attempt to get the phone into download mode .

You have to power off the phone then insert the JIG, if it was made properly, you phone should go straight to download mode, if not try the button combination...

I was running my phone perfectly fine, and when I turned off the phone to replace the battery, it won't turn back on at all. The Samsung logo just loops repeatedly, and I can't get into Recovery mode at all. I can get into download mode, (sort of), by the conventional means, but when I press volume up to confirm download mode, I can't do so. The phone hangs for a second, and then restarts its self. Is this SDS? How do I get it fixed? I am in the USA, and I have a SGS III i9300. My phone information is below in my signature.

If it is sds, you wun be able to turn it on at all. Best if you can just send it to the service center for them to have a look.
Kernel problem maybe? Try a different one.
OK, it appears that I can get it into download mode if I run it off of USB power, and pull the battery as soon as I'm able to get into download mode. It will run in download mode if I keep the battery out, but as soon as I put a battery in with it plugged into a USB, it resets the phone. I was able to flash XXUGMK6_BTU onto the phone, but upon resetting the phone with the battery in it, it will not start. This is with both ZeroLemon batteries, and the stock Samsung battery.
Is there a way to fix this?

That's what I was afraid of. I called Samsung, and they said that I would have to send it to the UK in order to get it fixed. I would rather not have to send it halfway around the world for repairs if I don't have to.

I don't think it's that. Otherwise, how would it work running off of USB power? If the power button was stuck, I don't think it would run at all.
Sounds like a motherboard issue, double check that the battery connector pins are undamaged, but otherwise you need a new motherboard.

before you open the phone, try with another battery
When the SDS happens the phone is able to get into the download mode, but doesn't flash by Odin, if yours cannot get into the Download Mode, try a JIG USB

Well, $hit. That's what I was afraid of. It costs just as much to buy a new MB as it does to buy a new phone from what I've been able to find. It also costs almost as much to mail it off to UK as it does to buy a replacement SGS3. ($20 difference). Is there a cheap source for a new MB for the phone?
I can only boot into download mode if I pull the battery after I get into download mode, and run off of USB power. If I leave the battery in, I can't do anything in download mode, (such as confirm it), and it restarts in 5 seconds. Also, if I have the phone plugged in, and insert the battery, even the charge indicator bootloops.

No, the i9300 isn't a USA model and was never sold there, Samsung USA won't be able to do anything, probably won't even have any parts for it.
OH MY ****ING GOD! I FIXED IT! I used a combination between a new USB cable and a Samsung Emergency Recovery. IT WORKS!! God damn, I'm so happy I could cry! IT WORKS! **** YES!!! It doesn't seem to be able to take a custom ROM though. How can I get back to OmniROM?
