odin soft brick fixed - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was getting a phone + ! + computer on my phone after i stop odin. itried different combos and none of them work.
This is what work for me
I rebooted my computer and then i switch to a different usb port waited for computer to recognize the driver and open ODIN and flash stock 2.1

yes...it's like another version of download mode without having to go into download mode.

[Q] Vibrant won't be read by ODIN.

Every time I plug it in the PC says USB device not recognized!?? The device has malfunctioned yes i have the drivers
WTF I t has never done this before
I am in download mode this happens when you unplug it during ODIN install so my phone needs to be recognized in order to go back to stock.
Get Windows 7

Try another computer, windows XP works best with me everytime dunno why.
thnaks will try tomorrow at my firends house
I had the same problem everyone was telling me that was download mode but it wasn't so get into download with the following instructions.
1. Open odin do not skip this step as you need to open odin first.
2. Take out the battery to turn off the completely
3. Put the battery back in.
4. While holding the two volume buttons plug in your usb cable. Bam your in download mode
Trust me on this method as I freaked out trying to fix it but it worked. Keep trying if it doesn't work.

^ hes not having trouble getting into download mode.. It's the phone isn't recognized by pc...
Have tried restarting your comp yet...? After uninstalling your current drivers than reinstalling after a reboot.
But that isn't download mode I'm sure of it

From my experience the usb port on your device is ruined.... The only way I can think of fixing it is desolder the usb port and solder a new one.... Get a new board for your phone or.... send to samsung. I had the same problem Mine was like a brick and I just send it to samsung.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried a new USB and it still didn't work.
Did you delete/install the new drivers, correctly?
What rom were you on? you made need the nexus s drivers if cm7/miui
EDIT, also, i have posted many times that ODIN NEVER works for me when my webcam is connected. Unplug it and reboot.

[Q] Download mode first time starts a download. Normal?

When i first got my phone back from repair i wanted to use download mode to put the CWM in and flash it. But when i first did it it started a download process is it normal?
2.3.6
What download process exactly?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
In the middle
" Downloading ....
Do not turn off target"
It has some writing on the top left too would you like to know what it says?
nothing is downlading...it by default shows like that...when you start download from ODIN you can see the WRITING PROCESS TIMELINE under that logo
Could you please elaborate how do you put the CWM in while on the Download mode
Yep, as above. That is download mode. Now your try to connect to Odin (kill lies first). Edit: kies not lies (stupid Swype)

Oh Im just following these instructions.
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
Im sorry its just my first time doing anything like this xD
yes instruction is correct,
Make sure dirvers are installed, Kies to be killed,
once you connected the phone to PC (connect to mother board USB socket backside)
the ID:COM box will be highlighted in yellow, and in the message box you can see "added"
Good luck...
Do you kill kies first then go into download mode?

Odin must identify your phone first like said above..
uninstall the Kies, download the latest version from Samsung install after a PC reboot, after install reboot PC, (kill means not unistall, close the applicaion, also check in your system tray)

Ensure USB debugging is on (checked) on settings first so Odin well recognise.

if you have successfully flashed correct CF-root from ODIN, thats it, next is your duty to google for rooted applications.....
@ UpInTheAir : for my knowledge if I am not correct,
Download mod itself is a debugging mode, not essenstial to do it from Menu...
the people who did not enable the debugging mod and bricked the phone or stuck on boot logo have been flashing ROMs by enterin into download mod without any treble...
@ZACQ8
Thanks i installed a custom rom now and its working fine and dandy.
One last question. Could you point me to where i can find how to check flash counter and reset it? and re flashing stock roms increase flash counter? or really how do i get everything ready so i can return my phone to repair if the time calls?

to reset counter you need a Jig and old bootloader to flash, if the current one is new...

Yes, you are correct thanks. Not much sleep lately
You need USB debugging for ADB commands .... Except for ADB when in recovery mode

You must install driver first.
Install kies then kill kies procces and open odin and thats it a dnt forget about to thick debug
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
First install drivers.
Check Usb debugging in dev options
Third try a different usb port.
Restart your computer.
Connect your phone on download mode when Odin is open.
Cheers!!!

install kies and the driver. If it still doesn't, do the usb trouble shoot a few times

Download mode "waiting for cable + NO Recovery (Blanked)

So i was attempting to originally run a firmware through odin and had auto reboot checked when i shouldnt have.
I now have a tablet that boots up with a back light screen and functions as a normal tablet, but i now have a blank recovery
and i cannot use download mode anymore. ive tried drivers, different computer, the works. No recognition in download mode.
i do not have root and am running 4.0.4
please help :X
Hmmm.
Auto reboot shouldn't have damaged anything in particular. Its exactly as it says - whether you want the tablet to reboot after you've finished flashing a rom.
Just a few questions so that we can help you easier,
-What do you mean by a blank recovery?
-Does the tablet charge via AC? That'll determine whether it is a cable problem or whether it is something else.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Yes the tablet charges by cable. If I choose recovery option I get a back lit black screen, download mode completely unrecognizable. Currently only boots into standard android.

If u mean that u can go into download mode but can't get a PC to see the device.... I would uninstall the drivers and Odin..reboot PC and reinstall drivers and Odin. Then try. If that doesn't work try a different version of Odin and/or drivers.
I have a Q and A thread with the necessary Odin files and cwm recovery to root the p7510...there is also a link to a qbking77 video.
Good luck...
My problem is I've tried different PCs drivers and Odin files and my tablet still only says waiting for cable in download mode

well then we're down to the old battery drain trick....its been awhile since ive had to tell somebody how to do this....so give me until tomorrow night and ill see if i can find some good links to guides for you...
in the mean time you can google battery drain, bootloader, download mode and just about every other word combination you can think of for this method.....
..... which is to drain the battery to absolute zero...take it out...put it back in...plug the device in...and before the charging screen comes on you need to boot into the bootloader...
i know...sounds crazy,but ive seen it work time and time again...now those werent the exact steps...but i thougbt you would .eed atleast some sort of over view if you are going to go google hunting with me..lol
Same problem
I've the same problem. I'm trying to install Android in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the download mode has "waiting for usb cable". Odin doesn't recognize it, adb doesn't either. The tablet doesn't have an OS. Tried several usb cables, computers. It doesn't have an sd card slot to install from there.
I'm really at lost here , please help
