Take out the battery plug in the phone to a computer hold down the volume keys while putting the battery back in if you've done this correctly you'll get a screen with an android holding a shovel that's download mode you'll know cause it will say download try it a couple times if you don't get it at first if you can't get into that screen your phone is hardware locked and we can go from there do you know anything about using odin?

Eugenes Froyo That Doesn't Brick (Odin)

if you do decide to use odin, make sure and at least try to disable voodoo beforehand. (It saves alot of trouble, it is however; possible to use odin without doing this, using froyo that doesen't brick... but I would not recommend it unless its your absolute last resort.)
I would try simply disableing voodoo and see if that fixes it.
welll gonna make a jig to get to download mode will i need any thing else besides odin to flash froyo that doesnt brick to the vibrant
hey well tried to remove voodooo and kind of bricked the phone got to dl mode them odin back to stock but phone goes blank afterthe samsung music and soft keys light up
finally got it. using eugenes froyo worked for me! thanks for the help

What business?
Anyways, use Odin and Eugene's famous "Froyo that does not brick". Then use Odin to flash the stock firmware. Then get a blackberry lol

Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to download mode, follow the directions later in my post...
First Method
1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.
2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.
3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.
4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. You should be in dl mode.
Second Method
1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.
2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.
3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.
Third Method
1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.
Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.
3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.
4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.
5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.
6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.
7) Your phone will reboot into the download mode.
Once in download mode
Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones below.
Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.
2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.
3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.
4) Hit start and wait.
5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.
Also, you might have to build the usb jig. It is guaranteed to get you into download mode. Here is a link to that thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Also, if you would like I can use remote log in to your computer and do it for you. Send me a pm or email: [email protected]

ok so i know how to do things on my vibrant but dont really know exactly how the phone does things (basically im a directions follower) so im going to try to be as precise as possible
my phone has been rooted for a while and ive been experimenting with a bunch of roms. i decided to flash TWs nero v3 w/voodoo and i was pretty sure id stick with that for a while but some of my games started having issues so i decided to flash the newest axura. now something told me that i needed to disable voodoo first and there is usually a voodoo submenu in CW recovery but there wasnt so i figured it was disabled already
so i flashed it and everything was going well untill my screen went blank
now my phone acts like there is no battery in it
ive tried any button combinations with charger in (wall or computer) or out.
no matter what my screen stays blank...plz help
im not exactly in a situation to just buy a new phone.
Unplug the phone from the charger. take your battery out for at least 15 seconds. plug the phone to your computer via usb. while holding both vol+/-, not power, put the battery back in. you should be in download mode.
use odin to flash a stock rom.
this all should work if you have the samsung drivers installed on your comp.
Go to this link it should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737&highlight=bricked+phone
btw i followed what both above said and neither worked for me =/
thanx for ur suggestions though
Ive seen alot of these post lately and all were on nerov3 .

Well I guess that your best bet would be modifying the usb charger with resistors. as stated in the link that jewbrad suggested. A similar thing happened to my phone when I tried to go back to stock from nero, but instead of a blank screen, I got a small icon of a pc and phone with a triangle in between. The method that I posted did the trick. Maybe you should try it again and check odin to see if it recognizes your device, even if the phone might look like its off.

Have you tried having odin open on you pc and loaded with eugene's froyo that doesnt brick then with your phone turned off(pull the battery then put it back in) now hold the volume keys up and down at the same time then plug your usb cord that is plugged into your pc into your phone this should get you into downlod mode. If this workes flash it and let odin do its thing after its done running it will reboot and go to a recovery screen then it will try to boot up ounce you see the i9000 screen you can pull the battery again and get it back into download mode the same way you did before and then flash the stock vibrant rom tar file and pit. I dont know if this will work but it cant hurt I know how it is not having your phone working so hope this helps
Same thing happend to me.
Please let me know if you get it fixed.
I was on Nero V3 trying to reflash because GPS didn't work well.
i got in to boot loop so i tried to get back to stock and re-do it,
and this happened.
I took it tmobile and claimed the ota broke it..they sent me a new one
NVM!! link posted by jewbrad had No-Boot phone instruction, and it worked!!!
Oh lucky...I tried that n it failed
i accidentally flashed the dead horse kernal without disabling voodoo. lost all internal memory . now im factory wiped and when i go to download anything it says "sorry, theres not enough space to install this item" any help on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated
clockwork recovery -> disable voodoo to turn voodoo off . on the other hand factory data reset , and last one u didnt press repartition in while in recovery if not ,dont ever just for reference ;p
I have a similar but maybe worse situation . I flashed the same kernel (because I was not aware it was in the ROM nor aware of its effects) I posted that it erased my SD card and someone replied telling me to ODIN back a stock voodoo kernal which I. While booting i heard the voice that tells me about the re-partitioning going on. I think the last one i heard was it trying to mess with the system partition. It sat there for over 25 minutes doing nothing. I gave up on that. Now I cannot flash ANYTHING. I have tried flashing things from Clockwork but it all errors out because of the partitions not being there i assume. I tried using ODIN to flash back a stock rom and that doesn't work either, the phone just reboots and sits at the Vibrant screen forever. PLEASE HELP.
that did the trick thanks a lot!!!!!!!!
Edited .....ahh if you need hyelp i can help you convert your to conver your internal sd back to fat32 because u converted in to ext4 thats why u soft bricked your phone . Tsk tsk
I soft bricked my phone I think. I have samsung vibrant sgh-t959. I flashed a rom over voodoo and its just in a bootloop. I get into recovery and dont know what to do. I cant odin back to stock because my phone isnt in debugging mode. Is there a way to enable debugging mode or a file I can put on my sd to fix this? Please HELP!

You don't need debugging mode, you need download mode. Unplug your USB cable and take out your battery for 5-10 seconds. Put you battery back in and then while holding volume up+down, plug in your USB cable. Keep holding vol up+down until you see the yellow triangle with digger android. Now you are in Download Mode and you can use Odin to flash back to stock JFD.

Its hard to say what the possible cause could be, it could range anywhere to bad file downloads for what you were using to unbrick ( I assume you were using odin) all the way to hardware failure. I personally have never had that problem but if for whatever reason you aren't able to get your phone working again complain to samsung as it was their software that messed up your phone.

thats true ive already tried complaining to tmobile but samsung would say the same thing because i bought the phone off of ebay so i dont have any warranties i really hope that this method u showed me can help
This method will get you back to stock. IF you want to update through minikies, then you will probably have to update to Ji6 first after doing this But this will resolve your problems
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
also i would like to add that i have been trying odin i havent got any sleep at all trying to fix this phone ODIN SUX and im a bit upset that ive tried this over and over and it does work..
it wants me to get into usb debugging mode how do i do that if i cant get the phone to cut on?/
sigh now i got red text and the phone wont go into download mode again can anyone please help mee??/
Also, you will need to pull the sim and the sd card 1st before Odin back as long as Odin recognizes the phone you are ok, if Odin gives you problems you may want to try heimdall it works the same but sometimes just using a different program helps.

hold vol up and power only from a powered off state. this should bring you to a screen with red-orange writting. from there hold down vol up\down and power and that should bring you to dl mode. from there you need to use eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.
ive tried that already idk if i have the right eugenes froyo file but i got the phone to turn on and it does exactly what i told u guys it boots up and everything is ok except usb mode and my computer doesnt recognize it at all then once i turn the phone off it doesnt come back on unless i try the unbricking method all over again
it also whipes everything i had saved away.. Can someoen pls assist me with this?
i called samsung they offered to fix it because i have a warranty but there has to be a way to fix this at home i need my phone now to be honest. samsung will take forever to fix this and ship back..

***head desk*** you need to odin to stock jfd not unbrickable froyo. You ccan flash eugenes stuff after you go back to stock 2.1 . Use the links I provided earlier for odin then use the steps others have listed to get into DOWNLOAD mode. Then flash with odin

dude i understand what ur saying and u might be getting frustrated by my post but ur not understanding what im saying i have DONE everything that i was told .. the phone boots up just like if it was brand new but once i turn it off it wont turn back on unless i reflash it to stock all over again so what is the problem here do you understand my problem better now?
i have flashed the 2.3.3 lidroid rom on my samsung vibrant and i have the i9000 bootloader and i want to know if it is safe to odin stock jfd on my vibrant without bricking it?
thank you
Absolutely! Why do you wanna downgrade?
i need to send it back to tmobile. so i can get a new on as mines been flashed to many times and its kinda old too
Ok, then yes, flash it back to stock JFD with odin.
I did that numerous times, but you still wind up with the i9000 bootloader. Can someone send me the t959 bootloader to ODIN it?

try holding the volume and plug in the usb at the same time on the phone,
while odin is running. (my volume button is reversed after flashing to GB 2.3) it should go into download mode.
if that does not work try holding the volume down button and plugging the usb cable into the phone while odin is already running.
let me know if it works.
cheers!
go on I9000 Forums, search and find out how to get into download mode.
Your Phone listens to that specific buttons.
You need to press those.
I think its power and home button or something but im not sure AT ALL
Download mode on the i9000 bootloader is volume down + home + power.
Hope this helps.
