Pull out the battery.
Hold the vol buttons [up and down].
Have Odin ready.
Plug in your phone. [keep holding the volume buttons]
put your battery back in.
If nothing happens, press the 'on' button [still holding the vol buttons]
Odin back to stock.
remove battery, plug in USB to phone, hold volume rocker and insert battery, if you dont get download plug the USB into the PC

Dont hold power take out battery plug in the usb to a computer hold both volume keys down while putting in the battery or turn off the phone hold volume keys while plugging in the usb
Yeah, sounds like you are doing it indirectly is all man.

Thanks this worked
Well i have bricked my phone once again. I mean this is no big deal, i can get a new one from tmobile. But i have one question to ask. Why does my phone brick when i odin from stock 2.1 to 2.2? I swear its happended to me like 3 times i think. Its the worst, any ideas?
which 2.2 tar file do you use? plus it's most likely just soft bricked...does it turn on, like at all?
No its hard bricked. NOTHING TURNS ON. i have no JIG btw
Want to try to help me?
this happened to me too just try to get into download mode
Try this. It just happened to me yesterday.
!
1, plug the usb cable into the pc
2. Open odin, load everything etc.
3. With the battery out connect the usb to the phone.
4. Hold the bottom button first then the top
4. Slide the battery in and see if that works.
I seriously had a hard brick yesterday, no lights no vibration no nothing. I kept holding both buttons at the same time but it didn't work. I tried the bottom button first like at 3 in the morning and.it worked. Matter of fact odin failed on me like 6 times! It would go up to like the modem or the rfs part and fail contributing to a worse brick until i got it the 7th time. Good luck!

my phone is that way right now... no lights, no vibration, etc... i'm letting my phone sit without the battery right now hoping that this will help before i try to get odin to recognize my phone... thanks for the advice... **fingers crossed**
If you have to
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

Or try that same method, but WITHOUT holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb. I actually dont pull the battery, simply hold the volume rocker down while plugging in your usb to pc, from a powered down state, and that ought to get it.

+1 to bricked's method!
This may be a noob type question, but how do I get out of "download mode" if I accidentally did the "volume down + home + power" trying to get into recovery? I've tried pressing buttons and even launched ODIN again to see if it had an obvious option to reboot (without downloading a file). I'm afraid to pull the battery unless I hear that it's okay to do so. Please help!
You can simply hold the power button for 5-8 seconds until the phone turn off. You can also do a battery pull, but only if you're not flashing anything.
If you don't have the usb cable plugged in. I don't think it will go into Download mode.
Remember to release the Power button after you feel the phone vibrate once.

You can go into download mode at any time.
Hey guys i got a galaxy tab, i was trying to root it and do a custom rom on it.
I put all the files necessary into the SD card and turn off the tab
then i went to hit vol down (button farthest away from the power) + power
Now all it is a black screen, i cant do anything, cant turn on or off. I plugged it into the computer and it installed some Nvidia drivers.
can anyone please helpe?
thanks
Sounds like the Sleep Of Death this and other Tegra 2 devices suffer from. Try holding the power button for 30 sec.
ok, so i tired to hold the power button for 30 seconds, nothing happens. I tried to do it with it plugged in and no plugged in. Any other suggestions?
i also have no idea if the tablet is on or off because nothing happens now when i plug it into the computer or press the power button. makes no sound. nada
no 1 else has any ideas?

i have the same problem
do you resolve the problem and how ?
Try again holding vol down (that's the button CLOSEST to the power) and power. If you can get to download mode your good.
