My samsung vibrant will not turn on meaning no backlight or anything, I accidently flashed a file called "s1_odin_20100512.pit". Any way to fix this? I need this for work or im screwed!
you only flashed the pit file in the Odin?

Same problem.
I used Odin3 v1.81 and it seemed to do it's thing as expected. But when it rebooted, it never turned back on. Now I can't get it to do anything. Can't get to download mode to try again.
Freaking out a little.
Try odin 1.7

Same problem, I'm afraid. Can't get to download mode to use 1.7. Can't speak for iynfynity, but I'm starting to wonder if the hardware isn't just dead. This is for my wife's new handset. The radio stopped working and she just got this one today (refurbished, I believe).
Did u try all pulling the battery plug usb hold volume rocker up n down plug the battery while still holdin the rocker?

Try making a jig
as he described, phone wont power up -> hard bricked. JIG wont help
Call Samsung (not Tmobile) and send it in for FREE repair even if you got ur phone from Craiglist (my phone is from Craiglist, no receipt, no box)
The phone is being replaced as defective. I just hope the fact that it's been rooted doesn't become a hindrance. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Hopefully they don't pull a logcat and charge you lol

Ouch! ..sounds like a hard brick, you may need to JTAG. Connexion25 does it. You can try download mode via jig. You can go to radio shack and make one or buy a nice tidy one already made.

I thought I had this with my captivate. I found out it still powered on by turning it on in a dark room and noticed a faint glow. Then I was finally able to get it into download mode with a jig and reflashed

What were you trying to load? Unless you were flashing something with bootloaders (WHY????), this should not have happened.
Phone : Samsung Captivate
Carrier : AT&T (Gophone)
Okay guys so my first problem was i was bootlooping the att screen and couldnt get into download mode or recovery mode so i went to radio shack and got 3 100k ohm resistors 1/4 and then used it and got it into recovery mode i used odin one click and it said file analysis for like 30 mins so i turned off the phone and restarted odin but now for some reason i cant get it into download mode again, so i tried turning it on thinking it might be fixed well it immdeiatly went to the phone-----!----computer icon and the usb dosent make any sound on my computer when being plugged in :/ i check to see if maybe the usb was bad by plugging it into my wall charger charged fine, tried a new usb cable and new usb ports still nothing and what i mean is when u plug a usb into a windows 7 computer it makes the notification noise it dosent make that or even show up on device manager im hoping the jig didnt short anything out :/
On the galaxy s 4g you can use Odin once on that screen
This is what's happening right
Oh btw u should put this in captivate q&a section

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.

I'm sure it was operator error because I downloaded the FoxHound ROM on the phone instead of to my computer first. So when I went into recovery to flash it, the file wasn't in the root directory, I wasn't thinking.... I just flashed it from the "Download" folder after wiping the cache. No, I forgot to do a factory reset too and I was running CM nightly before.
It appeared to flash ok with no errors and rebooted. It started to come up with the Foxhound logo and such then went black. Dead, nothing. I pulled the battery, waited a few seconds, replaced it and still nothing. Someone help if it's possible or just tell me to contact Sprint for a new phone. When I plug it into my computer I get the tone sounds from the computer that indicated an unrecognized device and nothing pops up, not the usual sounds of a recognized device.
Thanks !
wipe data from recovery and you should be good to go. it's a soft brick, nothing to worry about

How do I go about doing that when I can't get the phone to be recognized on the computer and the phone itself is unwilling to even power up or do anything. I literally am looking at nothing. Any suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Volume up/home button /power on,all at the same time this will get you into recovery mode where you can factory reset , if that doesn't work you may need a jig.
Edit . Just read your last post again , is it totally dead even after taking the battery out , no charge led. If so then the motherboard has failed and you need to read the sudden death thread in general, mine died three days ago .

Hard to say but I doubt it , mine died three-day ago and was like yours totally unresponsive nothing at all worked even a jig , a jig is a tiny usb that plugsvinto the bottom of your phone and gets you into recovery if you softbrick your devise they're only about £2. If your phone was bricked in anyway it would power up but get stuck on boot up but as your sayings totally dead then I think it is dead.sorry.

I was trying to do an odin factory restore, everything looked as if it went ok. Green pass and all but no reboot on the phone. Im getting NOT a single thing from the device (no led, no screen, no downloading menu) but when plugged into the PC it recognizes something being connected and sounds off but odin won't find it either. These are the directions I followed http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237
after flashing I noticed up on the title it says SPH-I545 but it says for verizon. Any help would be appreciated. The battery should be about 60%.
Also possible first hard brick (sch-i545)

Yes, I have been trying everything for hours now. I know this is only my second post, but Ive been doing this since the beginning. I have always received the help I needed via these forums, but clearly something has happened and I've soft bricked on many a droid phone and always found my way to a solution, but no lights, no vibration, yet when plugged into a computer, just as the first post mentions....it can tell a device was plugged in, but driver installation fails. I'm almost certain I hard bricked it and I'm very upset. I have an insurance policy that covers absolutely anything with a brand new device, but I have never filed a claim and can't afford to wait. I really messed up this time.....

If you can not get into odinmode (download mode) or recovery, sounds like you are hard bricked and out of luck.
If you CAN get into odin mode, are you on Mdk or me7? Can use this method then. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Only other suggestion is to get the "kies" software and do an emergency update from there if it can recognize the device correctly.
From past experience when i bricked a previous smartphone, the end result was my computer would beep and recognize something was connecting, but never add it to devices would contiously beep on and off if i unplugged and plugged back in, and phone would not boot into any mode.
Damn. Thanks for the info.

Like i said i havent used it personally only read about it but from what i read you dont have to be in download mode for heimdall. You can use it to flash the original bootloader and if it takes I think youll be able to then go into download mode and revive your phone.
