and tried every method short of the jig to enter download mode. The rom I was on started force closing so I used a backup that was on my card and got stuck at the vibrant screen. When I pull the battery and plug in, the charge icon pops up but stays gray, if i leave it plugged in for a few minutes, kernel panic pops up. No 3 button combo seems to work for download or recovery, Iv'e used both many times, adb nor odin has recognized my phone. Any suggestions?
What rom were you on?
Holding in both volume buttons?
Have odin open and usb connected to pc already?
I was on the Beast and tried Private Stock without disabling voo doo, for some reason the usual usb button combo wont work, computer doesn't recognize at all
So, you tried to get into download mode these ways:
1-
On PC, open ODIN
Connect USB to PC (not phone)
Pull Battery on phone and replace it
Press and hold in both volume buttons
Connect USB to phone (volume buttons still pressed in)
Wait at least 3 seconds (still holding volume)
Release when you see the Yellow Triangle
2-
Open ODIN
Connect usb to pc
pull battery, sim, sd card
on odin, load the pit and tar files for jfd
connect usb to phone
hold in both volume buttons and insert the battery
3 seconds.. download mode?
Now, is your phone getting into download mode and the pc is not recognizing it? ie, the COM # is not showing? If that's the case, it sounds like you need the drivers... some other usb device is connecting and messing up odin (happens to me with my webcam)... or the usb cable you are using could be the issue, guesses
You should be good to go with s15274n second method. Good luck
I recently had a Phone ... ! ... PC that refused to disappear. I was able to see a COM port in ODIN, but could not get it to show Download Mode on the phone. I went ahead and tried to start the ODIN flash anyway, and it worked like a charm. If you see a COM port in ODIN, try flashing anyway.
No luck with either of those methods, odin doesn't see it at all.The only thing other than kernel panic, a gray battery symbol, or the vibrant screen was a button forced upload screen similar to kernel panic.
I just downloaded fresh jfd files, method 2, got a power reset or unknown upload mode, popped up in an odin window but hung up on file analysis

Hey everyone.
So the other day I got excited about the CM7. I was following the steps to install it. i made a mistake. after i flashed the kernel. i rebooted my phone now all i get is a screen with picture of phone with a yellow triangle attached to a pc.
The thing i've tried to do was
1.take out the battery
2. take out the sim(which was already taken out to be in my gs4g)
3.took sd card out.
4.plug usb into phone and computer
5.put battery in while hitting the vol +/- minus rocker and nothing happens.i have odin open when I( try this.
my computer just wont pick it up.
when I plug in my gs4g it picks it up right away.
I've spent all weekend working on this.
also i think they only way before hand for me to get into download/recovery was for me to use adb. could that be why I'm not getting any progress?
Thanks in advance. Also sorry if this question has been asked so many times..
Is your problem getting into download mode? Or is it that you get into download mode but Odin won't recognize the device?
If its the former, getting into download mode is a bit tricky in CM7, I've done it plenty of times though. This worked for me.
1. Unplug the usb cord.
2. Pull out the battery.
3. Plug usb cord in.
4. Hold down vol+ & vol- and power button
5. You will see the loading circle or whatever it's called, when the screen goes black let go of power button.
You should be in download mode now. Sometimes you won't get the loading screen and the phone'll just boot up, if so pull the batt and try again.

I've done that many times. I've tried for several hours during the weekend. Also CM7 is not installed yet. was in the middle of installing then this happend.
just open odin and plug your phone in to your pc and see if you get a COM port...if you do then flash it from there..

not getting that at all no com ports show up.. I'm going to try this on a different computer.
When I get the black screen with that icon in the middle and I plug it in, Odin recognizes it right away. Furthermore, I've only gotten it before when I go into download mode(yellow sign + android sweeping) and Odin doesn't recognize my phone and I pull the battery then turn it back on.
Get odin up usb cord connected to the computer but not the phone
Remove the sim card the sd card and the battery and do the vol up and down boot. Then while holding the vol buttons down at the same time plug in the usb.
That should get you back to recovery.
READ the STICKY for NOOBS......... S15274N did a wonderful job of explaining all the methods on how to get into recovery from a soft brick
good luck

I've been trying all of those methods. Before this happened the only way for me to get into download was using adb reboot download command in adb.
The computer does not recognize in odin. I've tired this on two computers now.
I have all the drivers installed. i uninstalled ed reinstalled etc. used two different usb cables etc.
not sure what else to try. other than a baseball bat....
so i looked around and i bought a jig on ebay from skisky1. hopefully it will be here soon . to try this out .
I messed up my phoen flashing a rom and now when I am trying reset with odin it hangs up on file analysisI tried looking for a solution online nothing worked...
Changed usb ports
was wondering if someone knew how I could go about fixing this thanks...
Can you still get into download mode?
I would think he should be OK to get into DL mode. Sometimes ODIN likes to be difficult like that. Just unplug the phone, reset, and put it back into DL mode again. Any of those things could be the source, but doing them all shouldn't hurt, and I wouldn't expect the same issue to happen again. If it does, check your pit and tar files.
As long as you can get into download mode or recovery, you're fine. Just try different combinations as prince stated.
Verify the md5, or download again
Remove other usb items (my webcam hates odin)
Reboot pc
other usb
Using cable that came with phone? (my n1 cable didn't work)
i haven't been able to try that now when i connect my phone there is an image of a phone a computer and a triangular sign with and exclamation point cant get into download mode....? any clues why?

Pull the battery, put it back in, Hold down volume up and down and plug in usb and that will get you back into D/l mode. Did it ten times today. That will happen when you pull the usb cord off the phone while in D/L mode. Always pull the usb out of the pc instead.

Unplug the usb from the phone and computer
Unplug every usb from the computer
Take out your battery
Restart your computer
Open Heimdall software once computer is booted
Plug the usb into the computer
Hold the vol up and down on your phone, while holding them, connect the usb to the phone, then insert the battery. Hold the two buttons until it's in download mode.
Edit...try bada method first. Both work.
problem solved
Thanks a lot i removed all the usb drives rebooted and ran odin it went trhough and froze up at another part but then i put the usb cable on the back of the pc and it was fixed thanks a lot guys i loaded it back to stock.

open odin

hold both volume buttons
plug usb into phone
or
open odin
plug usb into pc
pull battery
plug usb into phone
hold both volume buttons
push battery back in
should get you to download mode, took me 2 hours of trying once so keep trying if it doesnt go first time and try different usb ports
EDIT: or it might not go to download mode but it can still connect to odin from that screen and has the blue progress bar like odin under them icons
I love how people can use the search feature, this is by far the most asked ?
Yikes

Samsung Vibrant Hanged due to ROM Confliction
I also have same problem and I tried the procedure, but failed, my phone not detected on my pc. When i start the phone Samsung vibrant logo appears but hanged at that point not booted further.,
PLZ HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
You need to be able to get into download mode(yellow triangle andriod dude shoveling). If you can't get there with the buttons you need to look into purchasing a USB JIG. Good luck!

sometimes it takes just a little twist on that procedure
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.
sometimes you just have to keep trying before it catches
If you changed the bootloaders when you installed CM7, then the key combination for DL mode may also have changed. See this thread:

In a nutshell...
I can ONLY get into download mode on my phone and only when I pull the battery, plug the USB cable in, hold the volume up/down, put the battery in and then download mode will start. This is the only mode I can get my phone into.
I've tried using ODIN from this website and got stuck on cache.frs for about 5 tries, switched USB ports and tried again... Same result.
I then downloaded everything onto my gf's moms laptop and tried ODIN again and was getting stuck on "analzying file," switched USB ports and the same thing, stuck on "analyzyng file".
My exact process is either.... pull the battery, plug the USB into the phone, hold volume up/down, put the battery back in, download mode opens, run ODIN as Administrator, load .tar and pda files and then hit start or...
The exact same process, except I unplug the USB cable after download mode begins, run ODIN then plug the USB cord in again.
Nothing seems to be working. I know it's basic but I feel I've read everything I can and I literally have 20+ tabs open on my computer, any help would be appreciated. I just want to get my phone working again.
Thank you.
Did you try checking re-partition in Odin? Also run as administrator.
It shouldn't matter but just curious what version of Odin are you using?
What ROM were you running?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Try different USB cable as well. Very common that one won't work, even if it previously has worked.
Start Odin before you put your phone into Download Mode.
Also, instead of just unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in, pull the battery and put it into Download Mode before you plug your USB back in each time.
