Help Guys i have a paperweight!
My samsung vibrant is totally bricked! I have tried many different meathods and all do not work at all. I even bought a jig off ebay! That doesn't even put it into download mode.
Please help!
Can someone please make my paperweight work again?
I was flashing a new baseband on the phone when Odin stalled for some reason. I accidentally disconnected my phone and now stuck on the phon!computer screen only!
Hi...
I had a similar situation with my phone.
When you get the "phon!computer screen" you should only connect the cable and start the flash with odin....
Try this and you could solve your problem...
i did it doesn't do anything!
When you have odin open, usb in the pc connected.... when you connect to phone while holding both volume buttons, does odin show a COM #?
if so, you should be okay... from that screen you can use odin.
well try this with phone off 1.take out battery 2.hold volume up and volume down together 3. while holding buttons down put battery back in 4.still holding buttons plug usb into it and should be in download mode .see if this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqxearzXrVY here's a video might help to see it done
so i just got pissed and used odin3 and checked repartition and somehow after it failed. I pluged the phone in again and this time it finally went to download mode. Thanks everyon problem solved.
good to here

Image that you have a hardware locked vibrant and bricked !!
all the methods that was discussed about getting locked vibrant into recovery mode or even download mode has failed except the adb method which successfully got me to the download mode , I uploaded customized ROM and PIT in odin and that`s all the phone can`t be started not even showing battery bar or recognized by my laptop ..
does that mean it`s dead ??would it be covered by Samsung warranty ...
thanks in advance
as long as you can get to download mode it's never dead.. why would you flash a custom ROM immediately? try flashing a stock pit and tar 1st.. then once your recovered go to custom ROM
yea but my vibrant can`t be detected by PC so adb method wouldn`t work ....
I may try making a homemade JIG hoping it to force download mode ..
I know you said you try everything, but just incase, did you try turning on odin with stock pit and tar in, then plug in the usb, with the battery out. hold down volume + and - and then plug in the battery? Should bring you to "download mode" hit start. It work all the time for me. Sorry if you did try it, but it was just incase you havn't.

Hello everyone,
I tried to hard reset my Vibrant phone using Odin but my PC crashes during the update and now I am unable to boot my phone and my PC don't recognize it, I have only this picture on my Vibrant even if I try the reboot with volume up+ volume down +power button
If someone can tell me how to fix it if I can.

Sorry for the image, I cannot post an image directly.
I had this before. It's another form of Download mode... you just have to keep messing with the phone and USB until the computer recognized it, then ODIN back to stock. It should work.
Thanks for your advices, I succeed to get again into download mode thanks to this website :

I Installed Samsung captivate original firmware ( from samfirmware.com) on my vibrant to get 2.3.4 android !!
It worked well after applying the firmware but I decided to go back to the original vibrant firmware ( also downloaded from samfirmware.com ) after applying the restore ODIN told me "PASS" I unplugged my vibrant and it stopped working !!!
The screen always black, no download mode, no recovery menu, when connecting the USB nothing happen
Can anybody help me or even advice
odd odin said pass..
Try battery out for 5-10 min, plug in phone, recovery combo then battery in.
Recovery keys may have be changed, try just the up or just the down key.
If not probably hard brick, need a riff jtag.
Thanks for your reply, I'll try this but first what you mean by "recovery combo" ?
err download combo....my bad.. normally is hold both volume, but try each alone too.
and fyi I thought i hardbricked a 2nd time, but i let it sit there a while then tried and download keys worked.
I removed the batt. for 6 mins. and then pressed vol. down and plug the USB cable but no luck, also tried vol. up + USB plug, then I tried pwr + vol. down & pwr. + vol. up but no luck
did I did it correct ?

Screw up your phone..maybe it has something to do with the digitizer and lcd just like what happens to me..
Are you putting battery back in after you plug in cable and while holding keys?
(Also try this method. With battery in, download combo, then plug in while holding down buttons)
Just making sure, cause last resort is the riff jtag i mentioned which usually requires $
and no djhemz07 it doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.. If really hard bricked it means the buttons no longer mean anything to the phone firmware.
I also hard bricked my phone after upgrading to froyo via kies my phone doesn't start up no lights..i can't get into recovery nor download mode..the technician has about to jtag my phone but it start up after opening my phone..you may want to read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277056
Still not working I pressed both vol. keys , plugin USB then put the batt. and no luck
Can the software damage the phone hardware ? when I applied the original firmware I did it correctly because I did it many times before and ODIN shows blue flag "Pass"
It shouldnt damage, though sounds like just a brick now. Though it is odd Odin said pass..
Take a break try again later, if doesnt then start looking for Riff jtag repair near you =(
trailblazerz11 I appreciate your help
What do you think about this video watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0 ??
Try this one-click UnBrick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310
Try this Mode-Detect: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17458275
then try this UnBrickable Mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277056
JTAG is a one-time thing, UnBrickable Mod is permanent
I did my best but no luck I sent it to some repair service as final solution and it will cost me 50$
You should have gone with UnBrickable Mod. It lets you recover with nothing more then a USB cable and software once its performed on the device.
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300! While i was sleeping, i was charging my phone and when i woke up the phone was stuck at the initial logo screen of samsung! Then, i tried to press the home bottom power and volume up bottom to reset while it was doing that it went back again to the logo screen before being able to choose wipe cache and stuff! I tried it several times! Then as i was searching through net i saw that odin thing custom Rom and i thought that maybe i should give it a try! So i tried to installed it by connecting my phone to the laptop but my pc did not identify my phone! Then I tried again by connecting and disconnecting the pc with my phone and while doing so i pushed the button of Repartition at Odin. My phone was not identified so i have no idea if that happened! Now my phone does not even open, or charging! Please tell me if there is a way to make it work again!
It might be of some help to mention that my charger is a new one that i bought from bol.com and its not the original one! I have no idea if that affected somehow the mobile functioning.
No, you are unlikely to fix that. You can try a usb jig, see if download mode will start, but it sounds like partial SDS followed by user panic until it was hard bricked.
If it didnt show in odin you have a driver issue and the repartition wouldn't have happened.
Remove battery, sd and sim. Make sure the battery is charged.
Insert battery and hold home+vol down while pressing power once.
If the screen lights up do not let go of home+vol down until it has entered download mode. If the phone wont light up at this point you have a bigger problem.
Once in download mode install the samsung mobile device drivers on your pc, you might need to try different versions, and plug the phone into the pc's usb on the motherboard. Try to avoid using front mounted or shared ports as they are unreliable. If your phone doesnt interact with your pc try other drivers.

Hello and thanks for looking at my post, I have a straight talk galaxy s3 with a 8gb sd card from straight-talk wireless, I tried to install cyanogenmod (latest) using CWM with the firmware on my phone downgraded to H1 (so I could have root). After this happened, I tried letting the phone charge and seeing what was wrong, I found out 2 things
1) The phone will NOT boot into recovery or anything else, even with a jig
2) The computer makes a sound when I plug the phone in, but I cannot access any of the files
3) Phone is not recognized by ADB
The only light I get from my phone is a solid red light when that only happens when I take the battery out and plug in the phone with a USB(The light is a solid RED)
I do have a read/write tool for micro sd to computer, but I do not know if it would help me, I am at wits end and am very frustrated at this sudden brick, please help if you can.
Any and all help you can give me is well appreciated, thank you in advance, if you need any other information please don't hesitate to PM me or reply.
Does the computer hang when detecting the phone?. If so the phone is double borked and unsaveable.
Remove battery, plug into a powered usb lead and press power while holding home + vol down, until the screen lights up, to enter download mode. If no download mode the phone is total loss.
If you manage to get download mode you can then use odin 3.0x to flash a stock rom.
Select "ap" or "pda" in odin and find your rom then click "start" in odin to flash. Wait until "pass" is displayed.
If you have download mode but pc wont see the phone try other and older drivers.
Ps, red led means charging.
