I have saved myself from many weird bricks.. but I have never Had anything like this happen. So I wanted to get darkys rom 10 on my phone so I opened it up and replaced some files with ones that I stole from the edt gingerbread rom, but then I remembered that I had to flash some i9k thing from Odin for the bootloaders
So I stupidly i did, and. The flash failed. so then I decided to Flash just the bootloaders (I'm useing heimdall so I could do that) and then I would flash a vibrant kernel and install darkys rom from recovery so. Flashed the bootloaders, and it rebooted showing the i9000 splash screen an didn't even who the vibrant one! And the weird part is that I can still boot into the on I was using before (edt gingerbread) and it works fine. BUT I cat get into download mode using 3 buttons only using reboot download command
So here Is my question, should I flash back to stock vibrant software useing reboot download command or should I leave it as it is and stop flashing (that would be sad) because if I brick my phone I can't get into download mode?
Thanks
UPDATE: I can reboot into recovery and I see it I dont need to use android screencast
Download mode is 2 buttons plus use cable.

Ok, I know there are countless topics about this but non of them are working for me. Ok so trying to get into download mode so I can use Odin to put the official froyo leaked Rom on my Vibrant. Using Unofficial T-Mobile Froyo Rom. It came rooted and busybox installed already along with startup Samsung S logo gone. Android logo instead. I want to put on the plain Jane Leaked Froyo Rom.so I need to get into the Download Mode to use Odin to install the update.but I can't get into Download Mode at all. Tried everything.pulling the battery holding up and down volume keys.plugging the USB cable in.just goes to the dam battery charging menu. Tried like 10 different way of that.and still no luck.even watched YouTube videos on how to do it.but still no luck. WTF.why wont it go into download mode. Wish there was a stock froyo zip file so I could just flash it using Rom Manager.but all the ones I found have been changed in some way or another. Please help me out here.thanks a million!

It means you don't need to be screwing with your phone.
It's a command that will reboot your phone into download mode. It works ever time. You just have to make sure you have the android SDK installed.

nope. That's recovery mode, odin uses download mode.
Im having the same issue as this gentleman I believe. I can get it into recovery mode and download mode through ADB only but when I get it into dl mode my PC doesnt see the device anymore and Odin doesnt see it either as no port is assigned.
Is there a way to recover phone from recovery mode. Obviously i tried reinstall packages but i cant access the drives to place the upgrade.zip in there.
Dam installing SDK seems like a pain in the @ss. all that just to get into the Download mode? don't understand why it wont go into Download Mode in the first place any other way of getting into Download Mode? already got SDK installed on my Windows 7 pc. but seems like a real pain to me! thanks a million!
PS- Any zip. file version of the Stock Froyo Vibrant Rom? instead of the T959UVJK6.tar file? so I can just flash it using Rom Manager!

Yeah there's a flashable jk6 posted by sombionix
That said, I wouldn't mess with your phone unless you know how to get into download mode and use it. I messed up my first Vibrant doing that. All I had to do was read a little more.

I wouldn't recommend switching to another one. The one you have already has 2e recovery. The regular one has 3e which will not let you into Clockwork
If you still want it, there's a deodexed JK6 floating around somewhere, just look in the dev forums for a couple pages for them, you'll find one.
Guess I will just keep this one until the OTA Froyo comes Out. How hard is it to go back to 2.1 stock so I can get the OTA update when it comes out? If it will even be worth all the trouble! I like this Rom I have but for some reason Launcher Pro Plus keeps Force Closing after Reboot! and unistalled and reinstalled but still happens every time. I'm SOL I guess!

I ODIN'd my T959 last night and everything went fine. But now during boot I get the GT-I9000 splash screen... although the phone is listed in the About section as a T959. Worse, I no longer have the green or red recovery, it's blue (even after rooting). I can no longer get to recovery using the 3-button method, I had to root the phone and install ROM Manager in order to get to blue recovery.
I tried using AIO Vibrant Toolbox and still I'm having the same issue.
Any suggestion as to how I can fix this?
Next time you odin back stock, use http://www.multiupload.com/HRYJKFLKFQ instead of the original JFD file. You can probably use this now to get the Vibrant splash back anyway. Just odin like you normally would. And you're supposed to reinstall packages again...Odin resets your recovery.
Since you flashed the GB bootloader, the combos change.
vol up + power=download mode
vol down + power=recovery
read the op next time
Agreed. Reinstall packages in recovery. Sometimes reflash recovery with ROM manager and try again then in recovery choose reboot in recovery. Good luck!

BTW... I read the OP, I assure you. Perhaps I didn't understand it, and that's obvious. But I read the OP. Whenever I flash a ROM I read the entire thread beforehand. I'm still very much a danger to myself and my phone.
laylovj - that did the trick. The splash is back and more importantly, I have data again. I installed SH 3.8 Revolution and it's running great.
Thanks again.
This is my first post & thread in XDA, I'm a active user in another forum. I have an OV, which is rooted, has multiple mods, and running on a IHO ROM... So I'm not a complete noob xD
Getting to the point... I currently have a Galaxy Ace that I'm allowed to tinker with (It's a friends) and Ive already rooted it with SuperONeClick.
Now I've tried to flash CWM and I've failed miserably xD
Theres a sticky in the Galaxy Ace Development section, and I've tried a method there for flashing CWM multiple times and I cant get it to work. I've also tried flashing it via the Terminal Emulator like I did with Xionia and my OV, but that didn't work. The last thing i tried was using the stock Samsung Recovery to flash the zip but it wouldnt work, so I renamed the CWM zip to update.zip and I flashed it and it said it flashed CWM and it was successful. When I tried rebooting into Recovery it just hanged on the first Samsung logo. I battery pulled and tried the button combo to boot into Recovery mode and it just hung like before. So I tried to boot into download mode and it would say Emergency Download mode instead of the normal one. So I figured the phone was semi-bricked, but then i just did a normal reboot and it booted up into the stock ROM fine! I dont get it... it wont boot into Recovery but it will boot into the stock ROM.
Before any of you burn me, I'm sorry, I'm new to tinkering with Samsung.
Other points to mention: When Samsung Kies is opened, it just says connecting with that sync icon and just hangs there. It never connects to the phone.
I was trying to use ODIN, and i selected all the files i was going to flash and i plugged the phone in, and ODIN never budged... It didnt recognize the phone, never did anything. I WAS in debug mode...
The Kies things and ODIN stuff i mentioned was tried before and after the rooting...
SO if anyone has any idea, any suggestions on whats going on, and on how i can flash a recovery from where i am now, will be greatly appreciated.
The phone has 2.2.1, Froyo as stock.
you cant flash cwm on a 2.2 phone only 2.3 try the download mode vol down home power

directly flashing may not workkk stop... i saw somoeone who got fu*ked up with doing so...
try to get it from kies as it will have GB bootloader...
if you flash something that dont have then you may end up with ACE as paper weight
after you get something from kies to 2.3.x then you are free to flash any roms on it for ace

Sooo yeah, phone works great. Faster than before. I can reboot it works how it should. I can also boot into Download Mode.

G. Flash Custom Recovery:
1) Push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace.img to your device using "adb push recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img /tmp/" command
2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON
4) Login to your device over "adb shell"
5) Mount /system using "mount /dev/block/stl12 /system" command
6) Flash CWM recovery using "flash_image recoveryonly /tmp/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxyace.img" command
7) Umount /system using "umount /system" command
8) Reboot your device using "reboot recovery" command to test your new CWM recovery
9) Reboot your device
I tried that before all of this, and i couldn't get Adb to work.

Like the title said, and now even thoug it goes into download mode, it doesn't go past the att logo when tried to flash the att stock .tar' or if I try and flash any other rom (rooted), it doesnt go past "android" animation. It goes black and that's it. I'm afraid I damaged something really bad, and won't be able to fix it. Any thoughts?
If you can go into download mode, just flash stock Note rom through Odin. I figure that's how you flashed skyrocket.tar.

If you can boot to Samsung logo the bootloader should be fine. I would re download the stock note tar and then Odin. I had a bad tar and had the same issue but I didn't flash a tart from another device. Flash cwm in Odin to see if you can boot into cwm first.
