Ok I'll walk you through this. First download vibrant tool box
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Next pull battery. hold both volume buttons and plug in your usb cord. This should put you in download mode. once there choose flash stock in tool box and it will walk you through the steps to flash stock back on there. Once done you can use it to root your phone and flash whatever custom ROM you want.
If you need more help PM me. I'm not as big of a noob as I use to be =)
forgot a step download odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
Then do as I said with the battery and toolbox =)
yeah i have tried odin and it still gives me the black screen with lower buttons lite up.

yes i get sounds when booting but a soon ass the galaxy screen is done doing its thing the screen goes black and buttons are lit
it ok
u might b doing something wrong because i had the exact same problem and they told me to odin and i didnt know what was that and they guided me and its really simple..... jst open odin...... get your fone in download mode... choose the PIT file and then the PDA file and select them in the right place..... but before you do all of that check if your fone is regiterd with a yellow box on ODIN.. once the box turns yellow it means that your fone is connected then hit start once you selected the appropiate files and then it should b doing its job... thats all i do and it never fails me..... if you think you dont have the right files ill email them to you so u can download them and put them in there.....
Ok thanks. Really hope i have not taken the phrase BRICKED to a new level . LOL

if you do decide to use odin, make sure and at least try to disable voodoo beforehand. (It saves alot of trouble, it is however; possible to use odin without doing this, using froyo that doesen't brick... but I would not recommend it unless its your absolute last resort.)
I would try simply disableing voodoo and see if that fixes it.
welll gonna make a jig to get to download mode will i need any thing else besides odin to flash froyo that doesnt brick to the vibrant
hey well tried to remove voodooo and kind of bricked the phone got to dl mode them odin back to stock but phone goes blank afterthe samsung music and soft keys light up

Its hard to say what the possible cause could be, it could range anywhere to bad file downloads for what you were using to unbrick ( I assume you were using odin) all the way to hardware failure. I personally have never had that problem but if for whatever reason you aren't able to get your phone working again complain to samsung as it was their software that messed up your phone.

thats true ive already tried complaining to tmobile but samsung would say the same thing because i bought the phone off of ebay so i dont have any warranties i really hope that this method u showed me can help
This method will get you back to stock. IF you want to update through minikies, then you will probably have to update to Ji6 first after doing this But this will resolve your problems
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
also i would like to add that i have been trying odin i havent got any sleep at all trying to fix this phone ODIN SUX and im a bit upset that ive tried this over and over and it does work..
it wants me to get into usb debugging mode how do i do that if i cant get the phone to cut on?/
sigh now i got red text and the phone wont go into download mode again can anyone please help mee??/
Also, you will need to pull the sim and the sd card 1st before Odin back as long as Odin recognizes the phone you are ok, if Odin gives you problems you may want to try heimdall it works the same but sometimes just using a different program helps.

hold vol up and power only from a powered off state. this should bring you to a screen with red-orange writting. from there hold down vol up\down and power and that should bring you to dl mode. from there you need to use eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.
ive tried that already idk if i have the right eugenes froyo file but i got the phone to turn on and it does exactly what i told u guys it boots up and everything is ok except usb mode and my computer doesnt recognize it at all then once i turn the phone off it doesnt come back on unless i try the unbricking method all over again
it also whipes everything i had saved away.. Can someoen pls assist me with this?
i called samsung they offered to fix it because i have a warranty but there has to be a way to fix this at home i need my phone now to be honest. samsung will take forever to fix this and ship back..

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile. First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone. So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087. As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way. So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock. After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore. Now I don't know what to do. It won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.
I just got bricked too...Went to update my vibrant that was on eclair still...Try to update to froyo on Samsung Kies Mini...download went fine...then when finished...it wouldnt turn on....just ordered a JIG....should be here Tuesday...http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Don...73JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321751047&sr=8-1
and yes...my family on XDA...i tried every finger combination to try to get to download mode...Sitting outside waiting for ups as we speak...
You might need to look into a jtag, I wouldnt give up getting into download even if the screen is black. Some members have had sucess by pulling the battery, sim card and letting the vibrant settle for an hour or so. reset in odin and keep trying, your phone wont respond but odin may recognize it by the yellow com bubble.
im guessing u've tried this:

also read post #5 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352334
be sure u understand what he says: he's basically just pretending the screen doesnt work and holding the buttons for the amount of time it would take to enter download mode. even tho the screen never responds, odin will suddenly recognize the phone. u can tell when this happens cuz that box in odin turns yellow. then flash JFD like normal or whatever ur gonna do.
good luck
Thanks for replying everyone.
Sugartibbs : I've been working on this all day. Yea, I definitely can't get it to work on odin. It's not being recognized at all. where can i get a jtag?
crypkilla : Yea I definately tried those two things already. I've searched all over the forum. I think it's time to take it in..... LOL. Is there a difference between the two models T959UV vs. T959V, in terms of the stock rom I was originally suppose to use?
that's a bummer.
i havent had a completely unresponsive phone before, but ive thought ive been pretty screwed a few times and the only other thing i know is that ive read people say that they've tried the same thing a hundred times and on the hundred and first time it worked and that's been my experience.
be sure and post if u do get lucky and fix it.

LOL i did the same thing ended up selling the phone :laugh:
Tried to odin back to stock because I recently made a deal on the phone and I havent used it in forever. Honestly I dont remember what ROM I was on but if it helps any the ROM home screen is the Blue tinted zippolighter wall paper. I never changed it after flashing so hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about. I can access download mode thru holding down the power button and that menu pops up that lets you choose if you want to reboot/reboot recovery/or get in download mode.
Odin recognizes the phone fine and once I choose the PIT and Tar file and hit start it only gets as far as the cache.rfs and thats it. I soft bricked it once and used the one click method to unbrick it but every time I try to Odin it keeps getting stuck at the same point cache.rfs. Can anyone help me please, thanks in advance. Dont mean to sound like a total nOOb its just been a really long time since I've used this phone so i dont remember the Rom.
Just to clarify some things, I have never seen an option to go into DL mode by holding power button while phone is on ??? Are you sure you have a vibrant? What ROM???

Make sure you right click odin and run as administrator. If it fails again do NOT close odin ! Load the pit and tar files again without closing odin and hit start again. It should flash properly after a few more tries, If it doesn't then try switching usb ports on your pc but do not close odin. Let us know if it still doesn't work.

He means when his phone is fully booted up. You can hold power to cut the phone off, reboot, reboot recovery and reboot download mode. That's what I took from it anyway.

OP, you were/are running Deranged9 (Froyo). It was the ROM that has the zippo as the home screen wallpaper.
Since you are getting stuck at that point and you haven't Odin'd in awhile, it sounds like you have a corrupted download. Usually it will get stuck at cache or modem if it is a broken down file. Might want to redownload them or you can download the AIO Toolbox from my signature. It has all the drivers, pit/tar files you'll need.
Download mode from pushing power is nothing more than an EPM (extended power menu). Pretty common.
Congrats to you Wood for deciphering the op!

Ya, me, Fishman and a few others were the pioneers on that ROM. So when he said the zippo, I knew immediately what he was talking about. I still use JCC's Toxic8 as my "home " Froyo ROM, although it is very heavily tweaked and almost doesn't resemble the original too much anymore. But hey, when i am on it I can get almost 2 full days with mod-heavy use.
Wow... I might get two days if I never wake it up.

Finally received the phone back, thank you for helping with verifying the ROM I have on the phone. Here's another problem that hopefully you can help me with. Now I do not have a homescreen nor can I access the settings/apps pages. All I get is the lockscreen, when I slide the unlock button the screen just goes black. Theres no way for me to access the phone settings to put it in debugging mode per the AIO toolbox instructions here

That sounds like a bad flash to me. I think your Launcher is missing and with no backup, like LPP or ADW, you unlock into, well nothing.
Are you keeping your phone or selling it? I would put Fish's Bionix on there either way. Just need to get it to boot up. Fish has an Odin file for it too.

I want to sell it which is why I was trying to just Odin to stock and leave it as is. I'll try this and report back shortly, thanks again.
Trying to flash Fishes Bionix and Odin has been stuck here for a while. See image
