My samsung vibrant will not turn on meaning no backlight or anything, I accidently flashed a file called "s1_odin_20100512.pit". Any way to fix this? I need this for work or im screwed!
you only flashed the pit file in the Odin?

You can't even get into dl mode? You might have to jig if you have battery...

Same problem.
I used Odin3 v1.81 and it seemed to do it's thing as expected. But when it rebooted, it never turned back on. Now I can't get it to do anything. Can't get to download mode to try again.
Freaking out a little.
Try odin 1.7

Same problem, I'm afraid. Can't get to download mode to use 1.7. Can't speak for iynfynity, but I'm starting to wonder if the hardware isn't just dead. This is for my wife's new handset. The radio stopped working and she just got this one today (refurbished, I believe).
Did u try all pulling the battery plug usb hold volume rocker up n down plug the battery while still holdin the rocker?

I did. Still no indication of life of any kind. I was hoping there was some other method of reviving it but I think it is truly bricked.
Eshwonok. So what happen to your phone from the beggining?

Try making a jig
as he described, phone wont power up -> hard bricked. JIG wont help
Call Samsung (not Tmobile) and send it in for FREE repair even if you got ur phone from Craiglist (my phone is from Craiglist, no receipt, no box)
The phone is being replaced as defective. I just hope the fact that it's been rooted doesn't become a hindrance. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Hopefully they don't pull a logcat and charge you lol

Find someone with a jig? Maybe on craigslist?
That's terrible I'm sorry.... You anywhere near Salem Oregon?

Ouch! ..sounds like a hard brick, you may need to JTAG. Connexion25 does it. You can try download mode via jig. You can go to radio shack and make one or buy a nice tidy one already made.

I thought I had this with my captivate. I found out it still powered on by turning it on in a dark room and noticed a faint glow. Then I was finally able to get it into download mode with a jig and reflashed

What were you trying to load? Unless you were flashing something with bootloaders (WHY????), this should not have happened.
Any idea why all the sudden the galaxy note will randomly shut off completly and I have to use the power button to power it back on, sometimes it will sit there and viberate and I have to pull the battery. Its running stock ics. And YES ITS THE att note. I'm sending this with my international note

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Problem is the phone automatically turns off in 10 secs every time even in download mode. I'll keep trying hopefully it will stick. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...
You seem to be a resourceful individual, sir.
Thanks Ranger!

Maybe one of your cables inside is loose and disconnects when you move it? I would either take your phone apart yourself or take it to a shop to get it checked.

trying to root a friends gs2 i777 and after using odin to run the tar file, it started to reboot and has been stuck on the samsung logo for about 30 minutes now. i was just told that he is still on froyo so i think that had something to do with it but he is no longer using an at&t sim card so it wouldnt let him upgrade to 2.3 over the air. but i am stuck at the logo screen and tried to reboot back into stock recovery and it gets stuck at the logo still. please someone help

I did that and it just boots back into the Samsung logo
Hold power down and volume down and plug it in for download mode and flash a kernel that can wipe and install.

Or if at bar.....
Hold all three buttons till Samsung appears and dissapears then let go of all three to get into recovery menu to see if you have a kernel.... then wipe clear data and reflash.

The i777 NEVER had Froyo. It was released with GB 2.3.4. When trying to root "a friends" phone it's best to have read everything and be prepared if things go wrong. Its a hard sell, when you trying to explain why their phone is borked. Also I find Heimdall a bit easier to use than Odin.
Nobody seems to be asking the obvious question: are you positive this is an I777, and not another variant of the S2, like a skyrocket, our even the 1900?
Take out the battery and look at the label under the battery. what model does it say the phone is?
I agree with wgoldfarb, I very nearly did the same thing to my work phone a few months back. It was in a ballistic case, and I couldn't tell the difference until I opened it and held it side by side with my i777,but it turned out it was an older infuse. $20 says that if he's positive he had froyo, it's the same situation.

Sorry, but drunk posting from a bar about trying to root a phone, but not being sure what phone it is (again, it never had 2.2...), has no place on this forum..
Hi!
I have the samsung galaxy note i717, a few days ago the phone shutted down by itself while i wasn't ussing it, it read online that it was too much apps. i did the soft and hard reset and i had the same issue, so i read the next step was a factory reset. so i did it, and wipe the cache. after that, the phone started to reboot/restart by itself while i wasn't using it or wasn't charging... i did the factory reset, reboot it and even reinstalled it the firmware again on kias, but, the problem keep happening. today i left it charging for a long time and the phone won't turn on, it doesn't even show the battery logo, no download mode, no safe mode, no reset mode... and i think it is hard bricked. i read about jtag, changing the motherboard, or use a jig... i want to know what u guys think about this... i bought it on ebay and i would have to return the phone otherwise, so i'm trying to fix it by myself...
ty :fingers-crossed:

I've kinda seen comments that jtaggn is like pretty efficient but you would have to do alot and jign plug tht thing and c if it will wake it up. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't depends.how bricked the note is i guess a more direct app is jtaggn

JTAG is for a phone with the rom from another phone flashed to it. You can't enter recovery and Odin doesn't recognize it. It is the only way to bypass the boot and flash the correct rom.
Jig is for phones that won't go into recovery by software or buttons.
I think you have a battery issue. Trade with someone, then you will probably need the jig ($3.00 from ebay) to get into recovery.
well guys thanks a lot! but, i took it somewhere and the dude changed the battery nothing hapened and he told me i should just return it and i did. i loved that cellphone!
