Hi everyone, i need ur help please. I have a t-mobile vibrant (sgh-t959). I tried the CM on it. After installing the su kernel, it bricked. Now it keeps rebooting with the samsung galaxy s gt-I9000 screen (the vibrant screen no longer comes up). I can't even get to download mode by pressing vol up + vol down + pwr buttons. Please help me. I m kinda desperate ...

Although I didn't have the exact same problem, I had a very similar problem. The above link will give you more details about the problem I was having and how I solved it (thanks to click1's suggestion).
I could not get into download mode no matter what sequence of keys I pressed and my phone hanged on the "samsung vibrant" screen. IF your phone is detected by Odin or the computer when you plug it in (doesn't have to be in download mode and your computer doesn't have to be able to show you the usb drives - just as long as there is a confirmation that a usb was connected is enough), then Android SDK will help you force the phone into download mode.
If this doesn't work, your next bet is to physically make a JIG for it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
From what I have read, this last one physically forces the phone to go into download mode by using the 5th pin on the MicroUSB key.
I know how you feel - I just got my fixed last night and my problem seemed very unique, I wish I could offer more help but I hope these will work for you.
Thank you very much. It finally came back to life. Feel so much better now!
downnload mode, I hold both volume buttons in and connect the usb and it I get into download mode everytime

No problem, I'm glad that solved your problem. I'll see if I can put this solution on the Noob guide so others can see it easily before they resort to making a JIG.

the newer vibrants are hardware locked so you can't get into download mode that way. This is why you have to use the SDK to do it.

Does this mean if the sdk will not recognize that the device is connected then i have to make this JIG Thing? because my phone is stuck at the connect phone to pc screen.

Yes, make it or buy one. I know who sells them for a VERY reasonable price. If you're interested Pm me for more info.
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,
Solution...
Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone so I can go back to the basics of flashing I hope, I am going to give it a try to see what happens

No...being the noob that I am, I'm constantly finding new ways to brick my phone. So tonight, I bricked it with the phone to PC screen. ADB can't detect it and neither can odin. This is FIXABLE, I tried the method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771247
Method 3 worked for me. Even if you have a hardware locked phone, I think there is a method around this which involves taking the battery out and putting it back in but I don't remember where I read this in the forums....I know I did read it though, you have to search to find it. Try these before you resort to making the JIG.

Hi tehre, i'm having problems to get the phone into the download mode, i'm hoding the vol down key along with the power button, but the only thing i get is the phone showing Samsug vibrant and restarting over and over again.
Am i doing something wrong? I just downloaded an app from the market called wuick boot, i tried selecting the bootlader option, but same thing, the phone just reboots, and i get back to the phone menu.
Any help will be more than apprecciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is your phone rooted? I had the same issue and resorted to just doing it by using a terminal command on my rooted phone.
If you have a terminal app, just do this:
Code:

#reboot download

Just so happens I nearly bricked mine last night. Couldn't even get into recovery mode or see the charging icon when I plugged it in. Here's what I did (after much trial and error):
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
...and that got be from looking like I was dead in the water to download mode and a stock ROM flash.

Work for New Vibrant?
Hey guys, I have a new Vibrant, Im guessing its the new batch of Vibrant because I can't use the volume up+down +power to go into recovery or download mode. I just wonder if this also works for my version of Vibrant because I did a lag fix and it bricked me... Therefore if this works, I would be so happy that I will cry. =( I'll try it anyways, but if anyone have a similar device to mine, please let me know I would love to get some info on it. =( I just needs it to be in Download Mode to flash it with ODIN back to stock. =)
By the way, would you mind telling me what stock rom you use? and software to flash it? Thanks a lot! I appreciate all of your help! Im really desperate to get my phone back to work... its been showing up vibrant screen make a start up sound and go blank... so scary...

Did you remove the sim? Is the phone plugged into a pc via the usb cord? From my experience, the vibrant will only go into download mode if it's plugged to a pc.
I think I also got the new batch of vibrant. Maybe we should get a list of release date and serial of the phone. Maybe we might be able to figure out which phone can or can not use the vol down + power. Mine is 8/13/2010 rs 170-0412

I will try that as soon as I get the phone back. My cousin has it now and he's trying to look for methods to help me fix it too. =( So i will go get the phone soon and try your methods of removing everything. I just wanted to ask you guys to see if you guys had that recovery mode function (volume up _ volume down +power) disabled by T-Mobile. Because if all of you guys have the new batch of Vibrant then most likely mine will have a chance too. =) But thanks for the reply and the tip I will definitely follow all of your instruction and update further about this case. Hopefully it would work with your methods for the new vibrant batch. No one here seem to post much threads about the new batch.

Yeah I definitely got the new batch since I cant use that recovery mode function like everyone else here does. I also got mine in August, 8/28/10. I dont have the box and phone to see the serial right now since it was taken to my cousin house to try and figure out a way to get it into download mode. =( But from the looks of it, anything from August is disabled... wonder hows the July one. My brother has a Vibrant from late July, which is July 23, 2010 and his recovery mode isn't disable at all. =(
I had the same problem last night... thought I bricked... my phone was stuck at the vibrant screen.. and my phone is the newer model.... but I still figured out a way to get it to let me send an ADB command.. I posted a guide in the android dev section... let me know if that helps...

To get in recovery mode i have to hold the power button and the up vol until the vibrant screen comes on and goes out, then you SLIDE and hold both vols when the vibrant screen comes up (for the second time) you SLIDE to the vol down and let go of the power button. I did 5 times in a row to make sure this works. Hope this will help somone

I have another story. I bricked my Vibrant trying to go back to stock using Odin it hung on a step. The brick to where the (Cell Phone ! Computer) comes up. After 30 minutes of panic trying to get my phone to go into download mode. I opened Kies mini, unplugged my USB connector plugged it into a new USB slot then hooked up my Vibrant and re installed the drivers. It found it. But I still couldn't do anything. So then I closed Odin reopened it unplugged and then re plugged my Vibrant back in. It found it on a COM port so then I tried a restore from there and it let me do it. Wow! I am amazed at how hard it is to permanently brick this phone.
I've read some people who have tried rooted there phones have completely bricked the phone to the point they cant restore it? Is this really possible? Because i have had my phone for some time now, and am thinking of rooting but dont want to break it...
Thanks
If you get the Phone ---> Computer screen and you have locked hardware access, there is no fix for it right now (unless you're lucky and somehow get adb to work).
If your phone can get to download/recovery mode from a powered down state (using the physical buttons) then its pretty much unbrickable.
Edit: I have locked hardware access and I rooted my phone. It seems pretty low-risk as far as I can tell.
it really only happens to people who can't properly read instructions right or when they're flashing things labeled 'BETA'.. i would personally attempt to get into download mode using physical buttons, if you're able to do that and you know how to flash back to stock using Odin.. you're fine, search the forum for instructions on getting to Download mode.
Being rooted will have NO risk of bricking your phone.
It's flashing custom roms and such that poses the risk.
I'm glad my Vibrant isn't hardware locked like the newer ones. I got the Phone--Computer error when flashing the gps fix/beta rom. Luckily, it was super easy to fix, but if I couldn't use the volume buttons it's impossible.
So, if you want to get root to do things like share your wifi or have adblocking on your phone, you'll have no real risk, but flash at your own risk.
Edit:
See if you can get into download mode by using your hardware buttons.
Turn your phone off
Plug into USB on your computer
Wait until battery status comes up
Hold down both volume keys and power. When powered up, stop hitting power.
If you get into download mode, your chances of actually bricking your phone are significantly lower than they would be if you couldn't. Not 0%, but definitely a lot better odds going in your favor.
The software really should've been called Loki because it's a tricky bastard and just likes to randomly screw you over.
EDIT2:
OK, Turns out the way I suggested you get into download mode is the hard way (it was how I learned to do it).
The EASY way is to plug your USB cable into the computer but NOT the PC.
Turn off your phone.
Hold down both volume keys and plug the USB in.
The phone should power up in download mode without you even needing to hit power.
ok but is there a difference between download and recovery
- Recover shows you a nice menu with a few options.
Allows user to use menus with the use of his Vol +/- and power button
- Download shows a HUGE triangle with an android digging with a shovel and says download
Normally used to flash with ODIN

Reading and understanding instructions will almost always prevent this ..... taking some time to research the basics is a plus....
ROOTING never causes bricking .,..,.,. USER error is the culprit 100% of the time ....
"completely bricked the phone to the point they cant restore it"
You said it .,.,. this is what is ment by bricked *no boot at all*.. only way to fix on some devices is by the use of Jtags(See xda-WIKI). Only android device that has this option so far is the G1 ( don't know if they got it 100% working yet )... Not being able get into download mode because of locked hardware buttons is not bricked... just got to find a work around ,or find out how they are locking the buttons ...

, you'll find most of the stuff you'd need.
Odin, Samsung drivers, etc...
i cnt get to the debugging thing at all i need some way or some how for Odin to read my fone PLEEEEEAASSSEEEE ANYONE SAVE SHOULD I USE A MAC OR SOMETHING CUS IM running a hp with windows 7 and its not working idk pm or something ill do anything to get the vibrant back and runnign
How exactly do I test the recovery mode, do I just press vol up, down and power or does it have to be off our plugged in?
I was reflashing my Vibrant to stock using Odin3 v1.3. It seemed that everything went fine. When the reinstall completed, and went to boot up, my phone would not turn back on. No download mode, recovery mode, or regular boot mode screens at all. The battery is working and charged and still nothing.
I was given the really good suggestion of upgrading to Odin 1.7 or 1.8. And follow the plug in, hold, battery in instructions for several hours with no results so far.
Any other suggestions?? Any and all are appreciated.
Maybe one of the files you used was corrupted or was for another Galaxy S variant. I can't think of anything else that could've caused your phone to brick like that.
Have you tried getting into download mode using a different computer?
If it works I suggest re-downloading all the files including ODIN from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Thanks for the response.
After rereading the other suggestion I got, I think I may not have added the PIT file when I reflashed to stock. That's the only thing I can think of. It won't power on or be recognized by any computer. There is no response from it at all.
I'll keep trying.
I have bricked my vibrant many times playing with different roms. I almost had to build the cable jig. I have found without fail though if your phone will not do anything that there is one easy way to get it back into download mode for another attempt.
1)pull the battery from the phone and make sure the device is not connected to a USB.
2)hold both the volume up + volume down buttons in until the loading screen displays at the end of the steps listed.
3)slide the battery back into place in the phone
4)with the USB cable plugged into the computer, attach it to the vibrant.
5)press the power button
this method has worked 100% of the time for me. The only time i had an issue, i had loaded the wrong bootloader onto the phone from the i9000. In that case, search for the button press combo to get into download mode for the intended phone. (im still have a dsylexic phone - it displays i9000, then vibrant )
Hope this helps, i have found the vibrant to be unbrickable (thankfully, because im learning android with this phone)
Do you get anything at all like the spindles when you plug it into a charger or PC?
Also what are the .pit and .tar files you are using in ODIN? link maybe?
- You need to be able to see either the spindles or the batt charge icon to do the button method if not then you will need to go the usb jig route to get into download mode. Good luck!
No, I get no response from my Vibrant. No spindles or battery charging status. A complete brick.
I'm using the proper PIT and TAR files. The problem (I think) was that I didn't load the PIT file when I ran ODIN. Now, I can't get anything. I have all the proper files to do the ODIN flash now. I just can't get a response from the brick.
I have seen the the usb jig method mentioned. It looks like it may be over my head. I have no idea how to use an iron to make those connections. FML>
I just had the same exact problem. I searched google and found a way out. Pull your battery and replace it. Do not connect the phone to pc. Hold the volume up key only and hit the power key. I did this and my phone went into dl mode. I hope this helps!
Unfortunately you are in a hard brick situation. However, I can fix this using JTAG. PM sent...

Hey everyone, i need help with my galaxy s phone, i recently thought it would be a good idea to try upgrading my phone to the new gingerbread firmware 2.3
the problem is that i used the version for the vibrant phone, dumb mistake i know, but it was late and i wasn't thinking clearly, anyways my phone is now stuck in recovery mode and i cant do anything.
I cant get into download mode to reflash and i cant select any of the options im givin in the recovery menu, is there any way to fix this?
As far as getting into download mode, are you sure you are holding vol down with no battery in as you connect to your computer? You need to Odin back to stock in order to recover your phone. (Just FYI, there is no official gingerbread support, and the two roms we current have on gb are CM7 and Kaoscinate v7, both of which are awesome, but not fully functional at this point)

thanks for responding artvandelay440, holding down vol button while connecting to my computer via usb does nothing, the phone wont turn on. I also tried holding down the volume button, connecting the usb, then putting in the battery and it just boots up and goes straight to the recovery mode, i guess my main problem i need to solve right now is how to get to download mode.
I check some other forums and looked into how to get the download mode to pop up when your having problems, tried them all and nothing worked, except for the command prompt thing, which i couldnt figure out how to do.
a while back someone did the exact same thing as you. there was no way he got it I to recovery mode after because of the differences in hardware between the fascinate and vibrant. sorry buddy
If you can't get into download mode, there is no hope that we can offer. Just to be sure, you take the battery out, hold the volume down key, and then while still holding it, you plug the USB cable in. If that isn't working, then you are SOL. What file did you flash, and can you link to it?

the command line thing you are referring to is using ADB to reboot into either recovery or bootloader by the command "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader" No such option for d/l mode, though i'm afraid.

I wonder if the vibrant has a different button combo to get to download, and if it is remaped to that. Just something to look into. EDIT: NO, it is the same.
Try doing: adb reboot download - It works on a Vibrant according to the thread that I looked at. If that works, you are one lucky person, but it is always worth a try. You may not even be able to adb at all.

Yeah, I almost forgot about that. The question is.. Does it always work? I would think that it could work here since it is still a galaxy s varient flashed over. I'm not sure how deep down the download mode is and if it can be deleted/overwritten/corrupted. This is definitely worth it to save an expensive smartphone like the fascinate.

You aren't going to get a connection of any sort when on that screen. You should pull the battery then pop it back in, and hold Vol Down while hitting Power (let go after a second, but keep holding Vol). This should get you into Download Mode. If it doesn't, then you should explain in more detail to what caused this as it is pretty difficult to get the phone to the point where it turns on but doesn't get into Download Mode or Recovery (Vol Up and Power).

I look at as a Great Learning Expierence all frustrations are out of me lol!!!???
So what happens when you try to get to recovery or Download Mode? Just boots to the Samsung screen?

Yes that is correct I have been do reserch and trying to find simple instrutions how to add my stock rom to my sd card which I have done but there is the same problem every youtube video or reading material I see, says to get into download mode..lol
Unfortunatly I cannot do anything or even get into fastboot or have my pc reconise usb drivers.I even actually tried that Oneclick unbrick program .jar file no luck. I did get a new lesson on how to open .Jar files so that was Cool...
I think a USB jig might work to force it into Download Mode.
