hello i have vibrant used and i used Odin to Rom it to 2.2
using this thread here:[HOW-TO] Upgrade to 2.2 with ODIN
by zapote21
Odin said Pass on the boxes
But in the message box it said
1 success/1 failed
and now i cant turn on my phone back
Does that mean i said good bye to my phone?
Try to get back into download mode. If you can, just odin JFD and start over.

That is not a good sign. I will look for a thread that delt with that. One option you may have is using a jig. Here is a link on how to make one.

Hmm the problem the device is not working so i couldn't do anything with that thread
Have you tried the force USB download trick?
1. Remove the battery and unplug the USB cable.
2. Open ODIN (under admin privileges).
3. Plug the USB cable into your phone (with the battery still removed).
4. Hold vol-up and vol-down.
5. Pop the battery not in.
If you don't need a jig, this should FORCE the phone into download mode.
From there, you can ODIN back to stock 2.1, and update with Kies MINI to 2.2.

didnt work i cant even access the download mode its turned off like it out of charge..and i am sure its fully charged
Try the same trick with a new battery?

I'm having a similar problem after flashing 2.2. Odin completed with no errors for me, phone went to reboot and now it won't power on nor can I get to download mode via any combination of vol+/-, battery in/out, usb cable plugged/unplugged tactics.
I will try a jig tomorrow, but after that I've read that the only option is a riffbox or possibly tmo sending a replacement. Any other possible ways to revive this thing?
i know its sounds dumb from me but any help could help you ..did you holded volume up and violume down and connect usb cable without holding power ?
try and see
iv got same problem here but my odin froze so i unplugged my phone to try again and now its just dead, cant get into download mode or anything

do you get to the white Vibrant screen?
I would say try to get into download mode, and use odin to get back to stock. Just my $0.02
No, after the galaxy boot I get the dark blank black screen. But the menu buttons are constantly on...
Well at least youre not bricked.
you cant get into recovery by holding the volume buttons?
if not then I think ODIN is your next option unfortunately.
LAME! Well here goes nothin'...
'course i don't know everything, maybe there is some magical way to get it on... good luck.....
If you can get it to turn on and display Vibrant then you are not bricked. Boot into recovery and try and wipe. If that doesn't work boot into download mode and reflash the stock rom with odin.

I have tried over and over to boot into recovery as well as download mode to no avail. I called T-Mob and they are sending a replacement, but I want to wipe my device as well as recover my files. The real kicker is that I made a nandroid backup earlier in the day.
My main concern is if I reflash with odin, how do I get to download mode when I've tried a million different ways?

There are supposedly a bunch of ways, I find the way that works 100% of the time for me is. Dont touch the power button at all. Unplug battery. Put it back in. hold down both the up and down volume keys. Then plug in the usb cord thats already connected to your computer. Good luck.

Thanks, that's one I haven't tried yet... I'll let you know how it works out.
Okay so i ditched the stock rom for axura 1.0 and am using it...but i changed my mind and want to go back to stock...but never made a backup of my stock rom in clockwork like a moron. Now i tried Odin and here is the weird part it detects my phone in recovery mode...but not download mode so now im stuck trying to get back to stock vibrant 2.1...any suggestions?
Thank You
Start odin first, then hold the volume keys, then insert the usb cable
This always works for me when odin doesn't detect my phone

This is the easiest way. Download Terminal from Market and enter SU (gives you root access) and then type reboot download
Your phone will reboot into Download mode
i tried the su reboot download and it didnt detect it and i reinstalled the drvers too no luck cuz it says usb device not reconized when in download mode but when in recovery or normal mode it is detected no issue
Here's how I do it if everything else fails. Have ODIN v1.3 opened up first. Next, make sure phone is in debug mode and make sure its checked . Next,while phone still connected to pc, remove back cover and pull battery out. Before inserting the battery back in, hold the phone side ways while pressing the volume up/down at the same time now insert the battery. Your screen should now display yellow big letters -
Download Mode - Do not turn off target.

Read the Vibrant Bible here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111 . Read the top 2 sections --Useful links and Odin.
By the way, is your phone rooted?
Have you tried using a different USB port? Sometimes that helps.
yes the phone is rooted and i tried using odin v1.0 and 1.7 ill try 1.3 idk if it makes a difference
One method I've read on the boards is to flash "Eugene's froyo that doesnt' Brick". Of course that is an Odin file so...we need to get Odin working for you. Like icandy said, try a different USB port and see if that works. If nothing else also post in Master's Axura thread and ask him/her what the best method of downgrading to 2.1 is. I'm not sure if you'd have to flash Eugene's Kernel Back Support or not. I know this isn't too helpful but hopefully it'll give you a few ideas.

Pull the sd card, battery and sim card. push the power button a couple times. plug in usb cable. hold volume up+down then put the battery in. that should get you into download mode. you then can restore it with odin
didnt work, still no power, no picture, no vibration
How are you trying to get into download mode?
that happened to me too. i was using odin then the phone shutdown and nver turned back on. u might wanna call tmobile if you have insurance on your phone and tell them to send u a new one.

You can't give up that quick. Come on man. Took me over 30 minutes one time to get in download mode. Tried different techniques. Try restarting your pc or maybe even a different odin version. Make sure odin is on before trying to get in downloade mode. Best way for me to get in d/l mode is to press both vol. up and down at the same time and then plug usb in. Other techniques are out their also.

Thanks everyone for the help, my phone is working again!!!
Definitely the wrong section. Here's a couple tips/ideas though. The easiest way to manually get to Download mode it to:
1. Pop the battery, wait a sec, pop it back it.
2. May be easier to leave the battery cover off, we'll get back to this.
3. Make sure your computer is powered on, and the USB cord is plugged into the computer.
4. Without pressing the power button, hold down, volume up and volume down at the same time (this may be easier without the battery cover. This takes a firm grip sometimes, if this fails that's what you did wrong.
5. Still without pressing the power button, plug the other end of your USB cord into the phone. It should boot up into Download mode in a matter of seconds. If not, try again, you probably weren't holding the volume buttons properly.
Also, possible reason it stopped, did you put the .tar into PHONE instead of PDA? That will cause it to error midway like what you described. Otherwise I would definitely re-download/install your USB drivers with the one from this site, I find they work better. Also re-download the .tar .pit and even Odin for good measure. Check out the Vibrant Bible, that thread is your friend. Good luck, hope that helps!
EDIT: Guess I was too slow haha. Gratz man.
Best way is to use usb jig.

not sure if this is true but i read somewhere on xda that samsung will replace your phone up to three times if you really do brick your phone it will not turn on or load download mode or recovery.
In my experience..Vibrant is very close to unbrickable unless you smash hit...
I odined back to jfd even after flashing a captivate rom...

im having a problem getting into my vibrant phone.... i tried switching to one of the newest overstock kernel roms i followed each step i think and when i want to reboot my phone the only thing that shows up is the samsung vibrant logo and overstock logo over and over again.... i tried to go back into recovery mode but i cant.... so is my phone bricked or is there any other way i can get into recovery mode to get it running again?
Did you try to attach one end of the USB cable to your vibrant while holding down both the volume buttons then insert the other end to the PC?
This should get you to download mode.

I havent tried the usb from the pc yet.... Will it work with macs???
if can't get into recovery without the 3rd button combo, is possible that you phone is hardware locked and probably can't get into download mode. This is just a tip for you and some other people trying new ROMS/KERNELS, do some research on your phone before trying anything on it, such as getting the phone in download mode, using odin/heimdall, remember that by rooting your phone you voided your warranty.

Odin wont work on mac so you wont be able to flash to stock using that but you could try this way to check if your phone really is bricked or not. Then you can try it out on windows and flash to stock if you were indeed able to enter download mode.

You can use Heimdall. I don't think it allows repartitioning, but you can definitely flash back to stock with it. See this thread.
Thanks im gonna try this out.... hope it works
So you can't get to recovery with buttons?
Have you tried:
1. Hold both volume buttons
2. Power on phone (no USB cable attached)
3. Release power button at first Vibrant screen (keep holding volume buttons)

No problem. Good luck to you.
Hello,
I own a Vibrant with firmware Galaxy S I9000, as you can see in the picture (I did get confused by this), I was trying to return to the previous ROM that was backed up at the CWM, which gave error, inadvertently I rebooted the phone without CM7 reinstall and now I am always on this screen, if I try to enter download mode (usb cable plugged in, power up + down + and put the battery), I have a black screen with a loading symbol of standing, and that's it. I wonder if there are still chances that I get into the download mode with the method JIG? In order to use the software Odin. Thank you.
As i known you can be able to get download mode using jig method. But if your phone hardbricked(phone is dead) only you can use jtag method.
