Please help me... I need a phone My iphone 4 got stolen yesterday and I got this today and I can't get it to work ...

Isn't the bell version like the i9000m version or something? Not sure why you would flash a stock T959 rom...
Sent from my Bullet fast, Winning Vibrant

Your phone is a Vibrant but it's the i9000m version. T959 is for the US variant.
It looks like you're gonna have to find a way to ODIN back to your stock so I suggest you head on over to the i9000 forums since that model is closer to what you're sporting.
BTW: once you get your phone back on track, check out this thread to unlock it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747235

yeah it is
i had no idea (i have no knowledge on this)
and someone did it (on post#7) so i tried doing the same thing..
ugh..
now my phone won't even connect to pc
(i tried running adb and it says no device is connected..

Use odin to flash back to stock..not sure where to get stock i9000m fliles though..

Can u still get download mode?

no I can't get into download mode...
pressing volume button with the power button when not connected to pc just shows the logo of samsung and galaxy s and repeat these two logos..
and when connected to pc, it does dark screen/loading/empty battery with loading..
when connected to pc, i can try to run
adb reboot download
it says
error: device not found..

Press just both the volume +/- and plug it in

when i do that,
my phone would show the
galaxy s
logo
then it would show
vibrant
samsung logo
then it will go dark
and repeat this again..and again and again
if i let it go
it just boots to the galaxy s phone (so it would ask me for sim network unlock pin, i can dismiss it to get the phone working.. not rly working.. but android os will show)

if you're trying to hit download mode, you've got to do a battery pull first.
1. pull battery
2. hold down volume +/-
3. while holding down buttons, reinsert battery & plug in USB.
This works for me everytime.

Pull out the battery and put it back in a few seconds, keeping the machine cloesed and do it again(up+down+usb)!
if not working, try to connect your phone to computer and then use adb tools to put it into recovery mod, although you can't launch to system, adb is still functioning!

Have you tried the hardware jig? That is a guarantee getting it into download mode.
How are you trying to enter download screen? Did you disable voodoo first?

If it boots on its own without pushing power, take battery out and plug in usb, hold only volume up and down replace battery and should jump right to download. Bricked my phone every way possible, by now I can get out of almost anything.

Hold volume up and volume down plus the power button, after the SECOND time you see the vibrant logo ONLY release the power button before the vibrant logo appears for the third time. Works every time for me

Are you sure you installed the samsung drivers right?
Rolling with TW's latest beefy beast.
I'm pretty sure if those options didn't work your Vibrant is a hardware locked one. You may want to try the hardware jig as mentioned above. I've fixed my hardware locked vibrant countless times with that little tool

well after tons of hours and trying every way i came to the concusion that the usb port might be damaged or corroded on the phone, like ive stated before my other vibrant connects perfect to the computer,,and on this phone i can wiggle the cord by the phone and you can hear it connect / disconnect from computer, but it still it not recognized by the comp. and so i dont think the jig would work becuase u would need a good usb connection to begin with,im thinking my gf got some water / snow or somthing in the port corroding the connection, i took a magnafying glass and seams like there is some green corrosion in the port.
nevermind ...........
Also bricked my phone - Will the jig help?
After trying to install Froyo through Kies and failing, after trying to put stock ROM with Odin and again failing, i got the phone to the state that the only thing I get when powering up the phone is the picture of "phone --! -- computer". It is not trying to boot at all.
Will the jig help to get it into download mode? Are their any other ways to bring it to life or it is total brick?
Tnx

Pull everything out of your phone (battery, sim, sdcard)
Open ODIN on your PC and plug the USB into it (PC)
Put the battery back in and hold down both volume e
keys
Plug the USB into the phone
Should be in Download Mode and you can let go of the volume keys.

Try one more thing... Pull the battery and put it back in so your phone is off...plug in the charger so you get the charging screen...now when you see the charging icon hold in both volume buttons and the power button. You will see the icon flash off and back on then flash off and back on ...now when it flashes off for the third time...let go of the power button only..keep holding the volume keys
see if it will go into download mode that way
i had tried all of these methods and the jig...none of them worked...ervery time the screen turned on, it was the phone ! computer screen....no charging screen, nada..no matter what i did
ok try this too, pull batt,,,plug in charger,,,put batt. in then as soon as it lights up pull batt again,,then put back in fast,,then pull again as soon as it lights up ,do this 4 times and see what happens,,,my phone will get stuck on the samsung screen,and no matter what i do it gets / stays stuck like that untill i do the batt pull reinstall 4 times .then on the 4 th time i leave batt. in and phone boots up normal

[Q] how to unbrick Galaxy Europa GT-i5500?

Hello
I have the next issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500
And it bricked when I closed odin 4.36 after, when the phone was in downloading mode due that there was no completion. I wanted to install a newer version of the clockwork (mod) recovery.
I installed an old version but was unable to install the CyanogenMod (hte one from psyke83) that I wanted. And after I wanted to try a newer version of the clockwork (mod).
And now the phone is with the PC---to Phone icon brick mode.
I tried the volume down + main button + power off and isn't working
Also i tried to run the one click unbrick and isn't able to connect to the phone. Seems that the phone doesn't reach the computer
I tried an usb list (lsusb) in the ubuntu and does appear if i connect it.
I tried both in windows 7 and ubuntu
Do you think is a softbrick? Any clues? recomendations or questions for more details
did you find any solution..
i have no warranty since it as directly imported..i have the same problem ..
i was trying to backup my rom when it bricked.. (using rom manager) .... i tried volume down + home + power button (disconnect button) but nothings showed up.

I had a problem with the buttons on the phone the volume down wasn't working.
What do you mean by home button the one with the home icon or the main one with the metal borders because is that button the one that you need to use.
I also tried the resitor of 301kohms between the pins 4 and 5 didn't work.
Now i have the 2.3.7 working stable at the moment
try that combination of buttons if not tell me
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it, if it is completely bricked.
And the phone won't turn on, in any case what so ever?

Depends if it is hard bricked or soft bricked. If the screens turns on and appears the PC---/!\ --- phone. The he can try to use the three key combination or the usb homemade jig. Otherwise he can try to find someone with the JTAG
search in google JTAG galaxy for more info.
sounds like a hard brick. People claim that taking the battery and sim out of the phone for 30 mins (min) and then putting back in and booting to download mode sometimes works
You could try that
MY BROTHER IS IN THE WAY YOU DOWNLOAD but equally can not install any OTHER ONE IS A STRONG BRICK
On galaxy s this also happens from time to time, even i had it once. Try if Odin possibly connects anyway and flash again, if not, remove your battery leave it out for 60 seconds and then try if you can get to download mode again. You definitely have not hardbricked your device...

Did you already try: vol up, menu, power on (by this order, holding them all together in the end) ???
(It might be that for your device you should press and hold: vol down, home button, power)
Did you try taking out the battery (for 10 - 15 secs) and trying the above combination again???
Also you might find this page of interest for your case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. Credits to @neerajganga
Please take a look at your PM messages.
A last comment; in my experience, using the latest version of Odin and firmware from the links I sent you, never required extra files (like pit or any other type).
Best of luck! :good: Share how it goes!

SGS2 Doesnt start up

Hi,
i flashed a rom it gvies error in oden, and now cell wont start up at all. All the black screen no power up button works

Can you boot into download mode with power + home + volume down?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
all ele fails see if you can be as lucky as me and ring Samsung tell them you updated via Kies it restarted and it hasnt come back on since, say it was fully charged and you have tried different batteries, i just got away with it lol, also try n grab a usb jig see if that works
it doesnt even starts, black screen
Strangely that happened to me in 1 ocasion, I'll just take out the battery, put it again without turning on the device, leave it connected to the charger for a few hours and then turning on and it revived!
no not working in my case
best way and save way to flash the rom is CMW odin is risky
is there any other flash tool besides oden?

Please help! Phone stuck on boot.

I rooted my phone the other day using super one click 2.3 and left it just rooted due to cwm in my rom manager app not showing my phone model for whatever odd reason. Tonight I did the most stupidest thing and decided to pick nexus 4G in rom manager and downloaded CM10 ICS rom from rom manager itself and as soon it finished downloading I pressed install with dalvik cache wipe checked and now my phone is just stuck on boot screen that say "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile"
I tried to hard reset by pressing home/vol up,down/power button but the screen just goes black for about 3 seconds then the same "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile" screen come on and it just stay there. I also tried to plug in the phone to my laptop but the phone is not recognized anymore and nothing happens.
This is the only phone I have and I am lost. I really need my phone back. What do I need to do?

Okay, okay relax and stay calm first and foremost. I assure you, we've all been there (at least I have been lol). Needless to say, it sounds like you can fix this...which is good! I suggest you first head over to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 and download the toolbox. Once its downloaded, install the necessary drivers if you have not already. After that, you need to get your phone into download mode. There are a few ways to do this, and people prefer going about it in different ways...I'd suggest taking out your battery, and then popping it back in and holding the power on and volume up button at the same time and hopefully it will boot into download mode (it'll be yellow). If that doesn't work after a few minutes, remove the battery again, pop it in and try holding the power, the volume up and the little "arrow up" soft key at the bottom of the screen and hopefully this time it will go into DL mode. Once you're in DL mode, connect your phone to the computer and use the toolbox to flash to stock. This will bring your phone back to factory conditions and you'll be set to go. Be sure not to remove your phone while its flashing back to stock until you are given the green light. Good luck!

Relax, relax...I assure you. Everything will be fine. Your phone isn't dead. Getting into DL mode can be a pain, and honestly it took me a few tries my first time also. You just need to find the correct combo. Try with phone off, holding volume up and down at the same time and then plug in the usb until the phone boots up into DL (hopefully). If this doesn't work, report back. If it does, go through the steps in my last post.

Another thing to try, pull battery, SIM card and SD Card. Then plug in USB to computer, plug in to phone, pop the battery in holding down volume keys (up and down) -- its a little tricky but you get the hang of it. It was only consistent way my phone would go into DL mode.
Same Problem

Tonight I did the most stupidest thing and decided to pick nexus 4G in rom manager and downloaded CM10 ICS rom from rom manager itself and as soon it finished downloading I pressed install with dalvik cache wipe checked and now my phone is just stuck on boot screen that say "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile"
I tried to hard reset by pressing home/vol up,down/power button but the screen just goes black for about 3 seconds then the same "GALAXY S 4G exclusively from T-Mobile" screen come on and it just stay there. I also tried to plug in the phone to my laptop but the phone is not recognized anymore and nothing happens.
This is the only phone I have and I am lost. I really need my phone back. What do I need to do?
please HELP:crying:

I have almost the same problem.
Did you ever get the phone to go into DL mode?
TIA
Wrong forum. Go to galaxy s 4G forum.

What exactly is your problem? Please list your device model and what ROM or stock android version you were using when issue began. Any other info you have would be helpful.

Your problem is the kernel is for the t959v galaxy s 4g and the ROM is for t959 vibrant. You can fix it in Odin with the stock firmware but we need to figure out which device you have. Do you have a stock front facing camera?

im using a samsung galaxy s 4g running on gingerbread (the latest version for this phone) I got the instructions for how to root my phone from youtube and everything was good until today when it just got stuck on the boot screen. how can I fix this. I need a professionals assistance for this.
This is the Samsung vibrant t959 (3g). It looks like you have the Samsung galaxy s 4g t959v. These are totally different phones, you need the galaxy s 4g forums, these files for the vibrant will not work on your phone. Find the correct forum on xda website and flash back to stock for the t959v
