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.

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

Thanks used Odin to get into download mode! All restored!!
Ok here's what happened. When I flashed Nero v4, I rebooted into recovery and flAshed 2.2 stock kernel and jk6 modem without knowing that voodoo has been enabled. So I can get into recovery, but only the stock recovery not clock work. Also I'm using Odin v1.7 and Odin v1.00. Also when I put my phone in download mode Odin does not recognize it. By the way it sometimes recognizes it on the samsung boot screen. So what's the problem with this thing? I am SCARED!!!!!!
Btw I'm running on xp sp3 and can get Odin to recognize my vibrant on the samsung screen, but if I try to flash anything Odin stops at setupconnection. So do i have a software problem or USB cable needs replcement or another computer? I've already tried vista and xp no luck? Also I could get into stock recovery but if I press reinstall packages, phone will just reboot instead of going to clockwork recovery. For all I know my phone is 100% restorable but there's something going on. Someone please help!!
You need to Odin back to JFD (original 2.1 stock). Find it in the Vibrant Bible. Also read Odin instructions in the bible.
Turn on Odin before you plus USB into phone. When you get into Download mode (picture of Yellow Droid with shovel in Triangle) then Odin will recognize the COM port (i.e Com 5 ). When you see COM light up then you know Odin is ready to go.
Dont be scared, the vibrant is almost impossible to brick. You will be up and running in no time.
You may be able to avoid ODIN by doing this...
Since you can into the stock recovery screen, trying selecting "Reinstall packages" TWICE (once, then again after reboot) from the stock recovery screen to bring up clockwork. This is normal for my phone, it won't display CWM until I've done told it to show twice and don't know why. Once in CWM, either flash a kernel or entire ROM with voodoo support that you've previous stored on your internal SD. Don't worry, you'll be ok soon enough.
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

Having recently installed a miui rom, i found that my phone has become brocked. I can go to dwonload mode, and I can turn it on but there is only a blank screen. Does anyone know how to unbrick it?
Thanks
go into download mode open up ODIN and flash a stock ROM. Simple as that.
you should buy a jig to get download mode. Did you tried recovery mode ?

to get recovery get into download mode open Odin and flash CF-Root Kernel and then try to get into download mode that way.
I flashed the CF Root Kernel (XW_CLK_KF3), but it failed in Odin

I have unbricked my phone but i can't access the android market, everytime time i open up the app it closes
my t-mobile galaxy s2 is dead after ICS upgrade failed
i am noobi. my galaxy s2 went through 2 stages before becoming dead.
1. i tried to flash I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar using odin. it got stuck in connection mode. then failed. when rebooted the phone, i got a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
2. now, odin still sees it. I tried different ROMs then the phone becomes dead. the phone is dead even after pressing the vol up+vol dn or any other key combination.
Now, windows 7 reports driver error when connecting the phone via usb. Linux sees the Qualcom modem, but heimdall failed to detect the phone. Any suggestion beside throwing my phone in trash is appreciated.
If you can't get into download mode (home/power/volume down), only thing you can try before you send it back to Samsung or get it JTAG repaired is a jig, which unfortunately is unlikely to work. Still worth a try tho.

I had the Exact same problem as you this is what you need to do.
1. Take everything out of your phone micro sd ,sim battery
2.Get your Usb Port and connect the first side to your pc but not to the phone
3.Insert Battery
4.Hold the vol down butt and at the same time connect the Other side of the cable into the phone then you will see
DOWNLOAD MODE!!!!!
5.From there install your sock rom again using samfirmware.com
6.Done
I was in the process of flashing back to GB in ODIN when it froze on flashing the Modem. Now the phone does nothing. Black screen. Plug USB in and computer doesn't know its there, Download mode will not work, nothing works.
Will a usb jig get it back into download mode so I can try flashing again or is this thing straight gone?
Thanks.
Yes, a USB jig will work.

Well I built one and tried it... No go. Nothing happened. Blank screen.
BTW the battery was fully charged right before it bricked so I know the battery isnt dead.
Was the phone on when you plugged it in?
I fixed it. Had to do the Unbrickable Mod. Was a pain in the butt getting the contact pads jumped. Once I got it I was able to get into download mode with the supplied programs and flash back to stock.
Nicely done.
Well I jinxed myself. I went to flash a new ROM and now im stuck on the Samsung Logo. Using the previous method does no good. Just stuck on Sammy logo. I found a different Heimdall One-Click now but it fails to flash Modem and now it vibrates 3 times when the sammy logo is shown.. over and over... so its in a boot loop I take it? If I 3 finger it it shows the stock recovery but I am unable to move up or down in recovery. It just stays on the reboot device selection.. im able to select that with the menu softkey thats it. The vol up and down and power buttons do not respond in recover. Updating the Modem is what started this whole mess for me. When I originally was flashing this the other day ODIN froze on flashing Modem, that put me in a hard brick state requiring me to do the Unbrickable Mod. I got it out of that with ED05 Heimdall Once-Click but since then I have not been able to get it out of this soft brick. My galaxy just wont let me win. :-(

Ya, thats how I get it into Download Mode... its the Only way I can get it into download mode actually.
Both Odin and Heimdall are having trouble flashing the phone in windows. Both recognize the phone and connect but will not flash anything. They just sit at uploading PIT/Setting Partitions.
The ED05 Heimdall One-Click in linux flashes the phone with success's accross the board but the phone just sits there on the samsung logo... no vibrating, no recovery, and unable to charge the battery. If I use the EH03 Heimdall One-Click in linux it will flash all the way til it gets to flashing Modem but then fails and the phone is stuck in bootloop on the samsung logo vibrating 3 times over and over. It can also get into the stock recovery but im unable to move up or down the menu. Volume buttons have no effect. The phone will now charge though. Full battery as of right now.
I tried using Odin and Heimdall on another windows computer and they will not move past setting Partitons/uploading PIT either. SO I know there isnt a conflict with my computer.
I would like to try a manual flash in Heimdall Front-End in linux but I have no clue how to install it in Linux. I hate that command line stuff. I guess I have to figure it out though if Im going to try it.
OK, success!
I am now back to stock. I was able to run Heimdall in linux and flash CWM recovery. I was able to get into the recovery and make selections in recovery with the volume buttons. I selected reboot in download. I went to Odin and tried flashing a stock EH03 rom and it worked.... I think the reason I couldnt do that before was because i was holding the power button down to keep it in download mode since that is what is required when in download mode via the unbrickable mod.
The windows based programs must not have liked me holding that power button. Weird. Anyways its working.. now on to getting this thing updated.
im having a similar issue, i can get into cwm, can use download, but when i try using Odin for the stock eh03 it instantly says all threads completed succeeded 0 failed 0. when i reboot in cwm it just takes me to samsung logo wont go any further
Try heimdall.
Ya Heimdall in linux will surely give you a win.
