I'm going to grab at air here, but do you have Odin up before you stick it in download mode? it should be..... try unpluging usb and plugging it back in while in download mode with odin running... (DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT unplug while actually flashing with Odin... it will soft brick your phone) just saying.. if it hangs while flashing it can still be recovered.. of course.. but the first time i softbricked my phone i was like OH SH1T!!!! my wife gonna kill me.... lol
Out of curiosity, is your usb port 2.0? Mine would never get recognized on older computers that didn't have usb2.0.

I had the same problem a while back... what you have to do is make sure you have all of the correct driver's for ur vibrant installed on your computer in order for your computer to recognize it. go to samsung's website at this link ( http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ ) and enter your phone info in. When the next screen comes up, click on the "Software" tab at the top of the screen. You then need to click on the second one down (Device(Install) (Software) (ver.10095.9) ) and download/install that to your computer. Make sure you open it after you install it to make sure you have all of the driver's installed (it should do this automatically). after you reboot your computer, open odin, and connect you phone to your pc in download mode, it should now see it. let us know if this works for you...

reinstaling drivers while hphone is connected to computer with debug on helped me
also you may want to make sure you have Odin v1.3. v1.0 was complete doo-doo.
I did use the doodoo version. But as u guys can see by the signature below all the advise worked...many thanks to all of you who helped...thank you soo much. I still need to update to 2.2
P.s. wife never found out I broke my phone...WIN!

I have a vibrant and I was rooted my cell phone when the phone's version was 2.1 eclair
I tried to upgrade to 2.2 froyo by official updating
After updating my phone did not show any screen so i tried to return original rom by odin.........
However, odin did not work for the phone... Always stopped when odin tried to install modem.bin.............
And now my phone does not work and even I cannot turn downloading mode or recovery mode........ It is just not work like when the phone's battery is done....
Plz if someone know how to fix it, explain me...........
Not sure what's going on here, but a few more pieces of information might help others figure it out:
First, what ROM were you running? Given the fact that you officially updated, I'm guessing rooted stock? Not sure if this is relevant to your problem, but were you running a lagfix of any kind?
Second, how did you enter Download Mode? Did you select it from a Shutdown menu? Or did you use the Volume buttons while plugging in the phone? EDIT: Forgive my stupidity. You obviously used the buttons, as you entered Download Mode after bricking.
Third, what version of Odin are you using? Did or didn't you select repartition?
Finally, which stock file did you use when restoring?
Take out battery , plug usb into comp. Then while holdin vol up and down plug in usb.

hi
I rooted the phone before I tried to upgrade official update.
And I did not use any custom rom, I just used legfix
And I tried to use T959UVJFD this rom to restore my phone....
and I used odin v1.7
i tried to click or non click repartition both but when I did first trying
I did not check repatition and I used volume down button to join dowloarding mode.
try to Odin with Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick THEN Odin back to stock. Link should be in the Bible thread at the top.
This method has helped me in a brick before.
lol i swear im explainin this second time this issue already today , go hook up your phone to wall cahrger for 5 min , unplug cabole from chsrger and unplug phone from cable hook up cable to computer remove battery from your phone hold vol up vol down hook up usb cable that is already hooked up to computer connect it to phone while still holding vol up vol down bam u got it there if it didnt work hook up phone to wall charger to 10 min instead of 5 trust me i went thru same storry .
i went with every imaginable story of brickin my vibrant lol
i thinkk chance of you brickin that phone to the point that wont ever turn back on is like one in 1000 if not more unles u fried the phone and i dont know id thats possible P
First, make sure you have at least Odin3 v1.3 when attempting this. This version includes a Samsung specific .dll that is required to get a successful load with Odin. Then follow these instructions to flash back to stock.
http://martint.net/2010/how-to-use-odin-to-go-back-to-stock-jfd-2/
from there, just root, install Clockwork Mod Recovery, flash and enjoy.
I used 5 different roms to restore my phone..... but it still stop when odin try to install modem.bin............ I do not understand and very bad.... how can i fix it...
and I tried to find eugene's froyo rom... but I cannot find download link........
plz help me.... I will appreciate every guys......

Then its odin. Try to find an older version. Yep I said that. I run 1.3 still because it works every single time.

I'm just grasping at straws here, but you might try using every version of Odin (as has already been suggested by several posters above). Also, make sure you remove your SIM and sd card. Lastly, run Odin as an administrator. I don't think the admin part is related, but it can't hurt to try.
Look for Eugene's froyo on Android Spin. I DLed it a few days ago.

Some facts:
My last rom on the phone was CM7
I can get into download mode but I cannot get into recovery
The drivers on my pc (windows 7 x64) are not installed correctly. I've tried the vibrant drivers and Nexus S drivers.
When I boot the phone on I just get the Vibrant/samsung Logo and it just stays there.
Since I can't get into my phone I cant turn on or disable USB Debugging.
I have SDK on my pc with the drivers in the google usb folder but they do not work.
How can I get my pc to recognize the device w/o being able to turn on USB debugging. I'm I stuck even though I can get into download mode?
just keep trying with download mode
took me like 2 hours of trying the other night to get mine to connect when i soft bricked

I don't even know what to say. After 8 straight hours of trying to install drivers and what not I spent the last 15 mins just plugging in and unplugging the phone restarting download mode and probably on the 50th try it just read it. I don't know what it just did. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks guys back to fully working phone
I have the same problem. Now this is my first time with this phone as it is a friends. I installed TW bionic rom on her phone with no problem. Then tried the MIUI rom on the first page of the development section then the phone just bootlooped. So after pushing to many buttons in a very noobish move the phone just stays on the vibrant screen. So my question is where do I go from here? I will attempt to try you method to get the laptop to recognize the phone but maybe some links to help me out would be great.

id say miui's for more experienced users, it uses a different install meathod (same as cm7)
get odin and the pit and tar files (if you havent already)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
power off the phone
open odin
hold volume up and down
plug usb in
or
open odin
pull the phone battery
plug usb in
hold vol up and down
push battery back in (while holding vol buttons)
both of these ways should put you in download mode, if they dont straight away just keep trying and try different ports on your computer
Thanks for the link to that thread. I wasn't having much luck last night finding links that weren't broken. Downloading the rest of the files now so ill post back soon with results. Odin finally recognized the phone so I think this should go well. Not sure what I did wrong flashing MIUI, its not my first time running the rom just never used a vibrant before.

make sure factory reset isnt checked in odin, unless you want to wipe everything
always checked in mine for some reason, didnt notice last time and lost all my angry birds lol
Thank you very much for posting that link. It should honestly be stickied for all to find more easily since the one that is currently stickied has dead links. Everything worked, managed to reboot and reinstall team whiskey bionic rom then restore the last back up I made. If it wasn't for these forums I don't know where I would be.

THANK YOU in advance.. I hope!
Alright so i managed to find an all in one zip file in a tutorial post obvs i didn't look hard enough lol!
So that just leaves me with the more important predicament. I can't get my phone into recovery mode to flash with odin and my pc won't connect to the pc at all.. I read somewhere that my phone is soft-bricked???? Because of using a vibrant Rom? Any input is greatly appreciated once again
P.s can a mod change the title? Or can i? Because its slightly irrelevant to the post now

Says your phone model is GT i9000 so you probably flashed a gti9000 rom (Bell Vibrant / international Galaxy S).
Anyway... you need to be in "download mode" to flash via odin. I think you meant phone to pc, but were you able to connect your phone to the pc before? Do you have the correct drivers installed?
You know you're in soft-bricked if when you turn on the phone, you get a picture of a phone to pc with a ! in between. This can be fixed by a USB jig, or for some, just doing the download mode button combination while your battery is out and your usb is plugged into the computer.
What rom did you install exactly?
Yes i realise that i suppose that's what i meant but odin doesn't pick up my phone and my pc won't either. I used to be able to connect yes but now it won't I have the drivers downloaded i havent had the chance to try a different cord but this is the same cord i used to flash, so im pretty sure that's not the problem.
I guess its not soft bricked then i haven't seen anything like what you have described,
The Rom im using is called EXTRAordinary Rom or something like that ill try and find a link for you

If you have gotten your phone into download mode and your pc isn't recognizing it, you should; 1 - try a different pc, 2 - try a different cable or 3 - try both. Are you still able to get it into download mode?
Ughh I've tried every computer in my house, 3 laptops and one desktop...
My personal laptop is the only one it worked on previously, it now doesn't work, and I only have the original cable i did the flashing with originally, but i'll yoink a cable from work tomorrow do test that out, although I am seriously doubting it would work... my widgets have recently stopped working as well, they say "problem loading widget" I'm pretty scared by this point and feel as though my phone is sloooowly hardening into a useless brick. i'll update tomorrow, when I get a new cable.
um also, I've posted this question in a different thread but have yet to be answered, why can't I find the telus usb drivers anywhere? they don't have it on samsung's website,,, i haven't installed any drivers since the original flashing and have no clue as to where to find them... as far as I could remember it was ridiculously easy to find them last time....
Thanks in advance,

edit: i got it fix just bought a broken phone with broke lcd so swapped mobo odin back the fresh start now. man i luv samsungs and nearly unbrickable. i had a d3 brik on a frind and a vibrant around the same time i fixed the vib but not the d3 had to have it replaced both were stock software error
So I've been happily flashing the JB files, and phone was doing great. Tonight I came across a couple of programs, Root Explorer and Root Toolkit. Put both on my phone, everything is still OK.
Looking through the Toolkit, I see that you can update fonts to the phone, so being that type of guy, I picked one and went to install it.
Big Mistake? The phone went to reboot, and is now stuck at a nice blue SAMSUNG logo, and won't do anything.
Of course, I hadn't done a back up, so thinking a way around the problem (I'm at work, not on my own PC), I redownloaded the last update (DLI8) with Odin. Ran Odin off a flash drive, then went to connect the phone (brick) to the PC. The PC's (tried on 3 of them) all say that the device connected is a GADGET SERIAL (?) and is not recognised by Odin.
So, I know that I will try when I get home in the morning. But am I missing something else, something that I have not tried? (except some brain cells!!!!) Is it because Odin can't be ran off a flash drive? Is the S3 well and truly dead? Should I smash it and claim on warranty?

erm did you put your phone in download mode by pressing Home + Volume Down + Power before using odin?
Whilst holding the power button, hold volume down button also. This puts phone in download mode. Odin will now recognize it, assuming you've got the drivers installed.
Read the sticky threads thoroughly and you'll solve this in no time.

Yes, in Download mode, PC's just sit there, so am thinking that because they are works ones (that I can't install drivers on) that I'll have to wait until I get home.:crying:
Fingers crossed
Managed to get the drivers installed on a work PC, running Odin, eventually connected to the phone, is currently saying 3minutes to finish. Blue bar is getting bigger. Hopefully by the time someone else reads this thread the problem will be solved.
Let this be a warning to all NOOBs (like me). BACKUP, BACKUP BACKUP
EDIT: IT WORKED. Now just to set it all up again how I like it......
Most work PC's are locked down so people can't install stuff on them that can cause the company problems.
Be VERY careful trying to do anything on a work PC as you may, inadvertantly, wind up with a brick.
Remember, just because its your work PC DOESN'T mean its YOUR PC....

Yes, I know. It was a contractor PC, so not connected to our network. So no harm done. Phone staerted up great, but after a reboot lost all contact details, am in the process of getting them all back with that software from Samsung called "Kies" which is not playing very well at the minute. We live and learn.
I killed my s3 too while playing pokemon. It just suddenly reboot and stuck in boot logo with some white distorted line. I panic and plug out the battery and tada, phone dead. Can't even go into download mode.
