Im getting an issue with my phone saying that usb is connected and usb debugging when im not connected to computer. I took out battery and replaced to see if it would fix it. But my phone thought it was charging and wouldn't get into recovery mode or boot up.. so I had to odin back to stock. Once I flashed my rom again it started saying it again. Im running trigger, so I figured it would ask birgertime about it. He said to plug into usb and unplug as soon as sound was heard. Said it was common froyo problem.. didn't work. Any other answers? Rather annoying cuz I can't see my notification bar

you have to unplug the phone from usb while the phone is unlocked and screen is on. Ive noticed this with all froyo roms going back as far as i can remember.
Ya thays what I did.. sorry didn't specify

I don't have any good news for you, just similar circumstances. Now, I can't connect to any computer. No adb, no Odin, just charging. I can flash cwm'able stuff, but can't be too risky.
Back to topic...I tried everything to get rid of USB connected/USB debugging...format every partition, but no luck. I've heard its a cwm bug. Can't get real answers from anybody. I just started (re)researching this again. I will pm you if I find info...good luck

Issue corrected: how: I opened Odin on my desktop, unplugged my USB cord from my pc, removed my battery from my phone along with my sim card and sd card: I then placed the USB into my phone (not pc yet), pressed and held the up down toggled (both ends pressed in), placed the other end of the usb into my pc, placed my battery into my phone and all this is done while still holding the up down volume toggle.. (do not press the power button at all) I was placed into download mode!!!!! I selected the pit file (s1_odin_20100512.pit), checked PDA box, clicked on PDA and added T959UVJFD.tar, pressed start, allowed odin to say pass and vibrant started to reboot: My phone cut off again after i removed the USB because the battery was really dead but i placed it on the real charger and the charging indicator actually showed I'm not booted on stock 2.1 for now.
Thanks to those who truly attempted to help me!
I also understand that there may not be a way to actually brick this device lol
PROBLEM BEFORE FIX
I'm really not a noob but I did something unusual. Coming from eugene 2.2 rom I tried to use Odin to flash back to j16 but it said E DEVBLOCK AND somehing else. However I was following some tatorial that said flash the pit file only and select repartition and allow it to work and say pass then pull the battery. Well I did that and now my phone won't come on period. Not at all like the battery is dead and won't recharge. I tried hooking it up to the pc but nothing. Not even a charge indicator. Somehow today I got a black screen to show with red letters... But it won't come back on period. Is this a true brick? Please help me out.

Wow u think I need sarcasm right now? Nope
Can you get the phone into downlode mode?
If plugging it into a charger doesn't do anything and your PC doesn't recognize your phone you might have created the first true Galaxy-S phone brick.
You do have Samsung drivers on your PC right!? And you could also try making a Jig I guess, but if your phone isn't even recognized by your PC your basically screwed. Don't pay attention to 2nd poster, he's just trying to act cool.

Are you able to get in download mode @ all ? ?

Take out battery, run odin, plug usb into computer, plug usb into phone, hold volume up and down but not the power button, replace battery at same time as you hold the two buttons. You really can't kill this phone.

get/make a jig as long as your battery still has juice this will force your phone into download mode, from there odin back to stock 2.1 (JFD) i have had the least issues when odining back to JFD

A usb jig is a micro usb connector with 301k ohm resistance e across two specific connections ( don't rmr which two connections) that rocks the phones circuitry into pushing the phone into download mode, if I recall correctly instructions on the formation of a jig can be found in the vibrant general section

it would help you get into download mode, but aside from that when you press the power button do you see the home keys turn on? if you do id imagine a jig would help. However if not even that helps you probably need to send the phone in.
No, not even the home keys light up.
Crap dont tell me i have to turn it in :/
you try the jig first, its like 5 dollars worth of parts and can only help. Give it a shot, who knows you may get lucky, it could also be that your battery is just drained try charging it in a friends vibe or captivate and see what happens. but at this point it sure looks like you might have to turn it in
This is the second time this happens to me.
Ill just tell Samsung that my phone wont turn on again. Thats what i did when i was rooted and decided to flash my phone to froyo via kies. I didnt get charged $400, so look like they never got it back on either.
did you end up sending it in? this exact same thing just happened to me
^ can you see Anything? Battery charging, cutting it on, trying recovery or download? If so, you are fine. If not, removebattery, wait a while, try again still nothing? Brick likely. What did you do, very hard to brick this phone.
just like the OP said. upgraded to 2.3..didnt like it, tried to go back to 2.2 using odin. it said passed! and has not booted up since..no d/l, no recovery, just black...no nothin
Are the buttons at the bottom lit? Or is it like your phone is just dead? If not the latter, try Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick.
it's like the phone is dead. i cant get anything
Doesn't sound good if you can't see anything. I've seen some say they've removed the battery avg let some time pass and then they were able to get it working, but that seems crazy to me.
unfortunately, i'm not one of those people. i left the battery out for 8+ hrs. and tried again..to no avail....
I had simply honey 3.3 installed and I was trying to flash a gb bootloadrr to get rid of the rainbows at boot and when I got into dl mode and the whole odin process it was going well until I got the BIG RED FAIL!!! SO I unplugged it thinking it would be ok since Ive done it before. But now my phone doesn't turn on at all doesn't charge tried 3 button combo tried everything!! Except the jig! Can someone help me please?? Im... one sad panda..:-( using my girlfriends phone.

i hard bricked a few month ago when odin froze, i thought id just get the phone ! pc screen like i did first time it froze so i unplugged but it wouldnt do anything apart from get quite hot when it stayed plugged in
i tried everything for like a week but still nothing, i tried a home-made jig aswell but that didnt do anything either (probably just bad making skills, cos it didnt work when i soft bricked other day) anyway in the end i just took it to a phone shop and they fixed it
wasnt expensive though and it took them like a day
You're sol until you can get to a shop with jtag. You know the risks with bootloader flashing and got bit. Phone is dead if you did in fact have a bad bootloader flashed. You can try removing battery, external as, and sim then replacing them and try to get back into download mode. Unlikely though.
try this:
turn the phone on until the battery runs out.
repeat
repeat
repeat
pull the battery.
volume up and down, put the battery in, plug in the USB cable (at no point do you touch the power button on the phone).
Launch ODIN on your computer.
Your phone at the Phone!PC screen?
ODIN look like it's connected?
Try to flash in ODIN just like that.
I flashed a new 2.2 image to my phone from the phone!PC screen before, not realizing that it was actually in download mode, just didn't look like it.
Thanks for your replies. The phone doesn't turn on period. Gonna look around for a phone I guess. Im actually at T-Mobile looking for a new phone.. I had good times with this phone... :'(

i got mine fixed for £15 thats like $25
dont know how much it will be wherever you can get it fixed though
FYI - for those reading this -
If you get an error from flashing the boot loaders don't reboot / turn off phone!. You also remembered to uncheck auto reboot right?
If you get a fail you need to unplug / replug and try again while in download mode.
per the bootloader OP:
"Its not a problem really... Disconnect and reconnect your phone, in the same Download mode, restart ODIN and reflash the tar file. Please do not turn off your phone, or change mode or remove battery. It might not return to life. This is the sole reason why I have asked you to uncheck Auto-reboot."
Pm sent. I can repair this with JTAG. Anyone else in a similar issue just PM me for help...

So my USB port is somehow not working with data on my vibrant. It worked intermittently but now I cannot connect to my pc or other pcs at all. I think I may have bent something, not sure. But the real question is, can I flash GB bootloaders via another method then ODIN. something like SGS kernal flasher? or am I SOL. I read on the Simply Honey 3.8 rom thread that people were going from simply honey 3.3 to 3.8 without loading the GB bootloaders.
Thanks!
Do you have USB debugging enabled?
Yes, the reason why I think my usb port is broken because sometimes I can get a connection if I hold the cable a certain way when connecting to the pc but when I let go the pc reverts to usb device not functioning. Not good, and hard to reproduce.

you dont need to bootloaders to do it, i dont trust odin so i dont have them
i flashed 3.3 from 2.8 then 3.8 in the cwm app then any addons with rom manager, everything seems to work fine for me

When your phone is plugged in, does it indicate it's connected to the PC or both of them don't acknowledge it?
Sometimes the phone acknowledges it, sometimes it doesn't. This is what makes me think it may be a problem with the port.

Use a different computer and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, let me know so we can try to figure out what's wrong.
Me and my husband both have Verizon fascinates and mine has aokp m6 glitch..no probs...my husband is plain stock and he's been losing service and whatnot so i was going to reboot his rom still with stock
Now the problem...i can't get the PC to recognize his phone...reinstalled drivers etc...works for mine though...when i tried Odin the phone would go into download mode but Odin would not add it...but will mine...any ideas if why this may be happening?

I'm having the same problem. Does it connect to Odin while on in debugging mode? I was told that if it does to use abd to find out if the drivers are working correctly. Also does it pop up and says the the device has errored and can't connect?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda app-developers app
I see this a lot. Sometimes its the cable, and sometimes its the phone itself. I had the hardest time getting Odin to work. It was a cable issue. I bought a BlackBerry data cable and voila! It was working again.

I've tried like 10 diff cables...and they'll all workfor my phone just not his...i don't know if i can access adb on his being it's not rooted or anything...and i can't root it without Odin recognizing it...when i connect it to mass storage the phone itself recognizes it's connected (sometimes)...but the pc just keeps saying it doesn't recognize the device...but once again it recognizes mine which is the same phone just diff rom kernel etc....
I'll prob just try messing with it some more being i was in the middle of the woods at 2am camping when i was trying to get it to work...maybe I'll have better luck...i know the phone got soaked but it was fine till like 2 weeks after when it started losing all carrier service until it would reboot itself
And he thought I'd have problems with my custom roms...ha!

I had the same issue with my fascinate. I discovered it was the cable.(my phone took a bath to. Last the vibrate but still runs like a champ) I ended up using my wife's kindle cable I tried like 4 til the kindle cable redeemed me from ics envy. Also, to get Odin to see your phone and trick windows 7 to install some generic "universal USB driver" you have to...
1. Launch Odin (I'm using version 3 something)
2. Connect phone to computer.
3. Power down phone.
4. 3 finger into stock recovery.
Odin should at this point see the port to his phone.
I had to do try everything til I discovered this. Also have you used mass storage or media sync with on his fascinate? Those are some drivers that the fascinate installs to get the path from phone to computer working.
Let me know if it works

I recently found that it can be more often then not the cable. The cord that came with my phone does not allow it to be recoginized by my computer but my friends cord for her LG P930 works perfectly. I have also had to reinstall the samsung usb driver a few times while changing roms.

Well somehow i got it to work...i plugged my phone in after his and the computer decided to download some drivers and all of a sudden it started recognizing his phone...now i just have find a ROM that agrees with it being i can't use ics being it only turns on if you 3 finger into recovery then connect it to a power source...then it magically turns on so you can reboot...haven't found any solution to that issue except that something in the battery connection had to short out when it got wet
