So i updated my vibrant last night from 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo through smasung kies mini.
Aftere it was done downloading and installing it says update finished and wait for phone to reboot. it hasnt rebooted ever since. i searched on all sorts of fourms this morning trying anything to get it to work. iv tried multiple download mode techniques but none of them work.
So my situation before this happen was i kinda missed the stock rom so i flash from bionix 1.3.1 to the true samsung vibrant stock rom 2.1 unrooted . and it worked everything was going great (I made sure i got all files of rooting,roms, kernlals,etc after) . i decided to put some music, videos ,etc and i decide to install the kies mini to get the update and as i said in the end it said done and wait till reboot and it never did.
It doesnt boot up , show logos, turn on, show charging icon when off and pluged in, it wont turn on!
So does anybody have any ideads or solutions?
Thanks you in advance to everyone.
Why exactly did you use kies?

turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
i tried that way before and it didnt work. nothing turns ons not even the charging icon when off and plugged in.
I did notice that when i put the battery in and try to turn on leave it for like 5 min and i came back and the phone was warm. Any ideas pls???

hey guys
i bought a Galaxy s couple of weeks ago (GT-I9000M). i rooted the phone using "one touch root".....then install "Vibrant9 Eclair 2.1" rom by "eugene373".....then before i could do the lag fix and Kernel, as soon as i plugged in my USB cable, my phone would shut down and go into a cycle of showing an empty battery icon (the phone is fully charged) then a black screen ...this would happen whenever i plugged in the USB in to the phone (no matter using my PC or wall charger) , it would automatically turn the phone off and do the same ..... after a while since i couldn't find a stock Bell rom ,i installed the T-mobile one using the following guide :
http:/ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748074
and btw right now the volume bottoms are other way round....(up turns down the sound and Vice-versa)
i was hoping if someone can help me out with this problem...so i can get my phone to connect again.(and fix the sound control volume)

thanks for taking the time and answering .... but i have done the un-bricking thing as i mentioned .... i think i need a firmware that is not t-mobile cause my phone version is actually GT-I9000M not the SGH-T959 .... a firmware that i can use Odin and put on my phone using the download mode
cheers
Uh oh.. you're in loads of trouble because you're on the international phone and flashed a U.S. ROM.
I remembered when flashing the International leak of 2.2, it would cause a brick going back. Are you able to get into download mode? If you are, look in the I9000 forum for a Odin stock and try that.

Take out the battery plug in the phone to a computer hold down the volume keys while putting the battery back in if you've done this correctly you'll get a screen with an android holding a shovel that's download mode you'll know cause it will say download try it a couple times if you don't get it at first if you can't get into that screen your phone is hardware locked and we can go from there do you know anything about using odin?

Eugenes Froyo That Doesn't Brick (Odin)

if you do decide to use odin, make sure and at least try to disable voodoo beforehand. (It saves alot of trouble, it is however; possible to use odin without doing this, using froyo that doesen't brick... but I would not recommend it unless its your absolute last resort.)
I would try simply disableing voodoo and see if that fixes it.
welll gonna make a jig to get to download mode will i need any thing else besides odin to flash froyo that doesnt brick to the vibrant
hey well tried to remove voodooo and kind of bricked the phone got to dl mode them odin back to stock but phone goes blank afterthe samsung music and soft keys light up
finally got it. using eugenes froyo worked for me! thanks for the help
ok so i know how to do things on my vibrant but dont really know exactly how the phone does things (basically im a directions follower) so im going to try to be as precise as possible
my phone has been rooted for a while and ive been experimenting with a bunch of roms. i decided to flash TWs nero v3 w/voodoo and i was pretty sure id stick with that for a while but some of my games started having issues so i decided to flash the newest axura. now something told me that i needed to disable voodoo first and there is usually a voodoo submenu in CW recovery but there wasnt so i figured it was disabled already
so i flashed it and everything was going well untill my screen went blank
now my phone acts like there is no battery in it
ive tried any button combinations with charger in (wall or computer) or out.
no matter what my screen stays blank...plz help
im not exactly in a situation to just buy a new phone.
Unplug the phone from the charger. take your battery out for at least 15 seconds. plug the phone to your computer via usb. while holding both vol+/-, not power, put the battery back in. you should be in download mode.
use odin to flash a stock rom.
this all should work if you have the samsung drivers installed on your comp.
Go to this link it should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737&highlight=bricked+phone
btw i followed what both above said and neither worked for me =/
thanx for ur suggestions though
Ive seen alot of these post lately and all were on nerov3 .

Well I guess that your best bet would be modifying the usb charger with resistors. as stated in the link that jewbrad suggested. A similar thing happened to my phone when I tried to go back to stock from nero, but instead of a blank screen, I got a small icon of a pc and phone with a triangle in between. The method that I posted did the trick. Maybe you should try it again and check odin to see if it recognizes your device, even if the phone might look like its off.

Have you tried having odin open on you pc and loaded with eugene's froyo that doesnt brick then with your phone turned off(pull the battery then put it back in) now hold the volume keys up and down at the same time then plug your usb cord that is plugged into your pc into your phone this should get you into downlod mode. If this workes flash it and let odin do its thing after its done running it will reboot and go to a recovery screen then it will try to boot up ounce you see the i9000 screen you can pull the battery again and get it back into download mode the same way you did before and then flash the stock vibrant rom tar file and pit. I dont know if this will work but it cant hurt I know how it is not having your phone working so hope this helps
Same thing happend to me.
Please let me know if you get it fixed.
I was on Nero V3 trying to reflash because GPS didn't work well.
i got in to boot loop so i tried to get back to stock and re-do it,
and this happened.
I took it tmobile and claimed the ota broke it..they sent me a new one
NVM!! link posted by jewbrad had No-Boot phone instruction, and it worked!!!
Oh lucky...I tried that n it failed
I was trying to use odin to get back to a stock rom (UVJFD). Phone was in download, odin was running. Odin suddenly said "not connected" and nothing was listed where com is usually displayed. I unplugged my phone and it immediately displayed a phone, exclamation, computer.
I tried the three button reboot, but it immediately went back to this screen. I've tried all of the options in the 'So you've bricked your phone' stickey, except the soldering method and I can't get it to do ANYTHING.
What do I do? I'm trying to get back to factory. At this point, I may need to send it in.
Just do what you would normally do to get back to download mode. I can't specifically remember the buttons but just jeep trying until it shows up on odin.
Actually I read somewhere that the phone "!" Cpu means that it will already work with odin so I guess try that. Im not certain that it will work immediately. If that doesn't work then do what I said first lol. Don't worry its not bricked this happened to me the day I got my phone hahaha
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Phone....!.....PC is just like download mode. I was able to recover from it, when it happened to mine. Maybe the JFD you had was faulty?
But ODIN should recognize your phone.
Completely bricked?

Does that imply that you saw some sort of life in the screen such as any light on the display? If that is the case it is probably worth trying the 301k Resistor method to get to the download screen.
On the other hand if your phone is exactly in the same shape as my phone is then I really feel for you. My screen never shows any life. It appears like the battery is dead and I've tried everything and I know the battery is fully charged.
So my next step is either finding someone with a jtag interface or send it off for repair.
Anyone have suggestions in that next step? Any weekend warriors with a jtag interface where we can send it? Any suggestions as to where to send it (t-mobile is not an option since I'm not using t-mobile)
It keeps rebooting to the icon screen (phone ! computer). I tried plugging it back in, but odin didn't see it.
I'll have to play around with it a bit more to see if I can get it to work.
thx

Odin should recognize it, try using a different ODIN. Make sure ODIN is running first, with the proper files already loaded "PDA, MODEM, CSC" then plug in phone.
that seemed to work. (loading the files to odin, then connecting) Apparently I had a bad ROM image. It's booting up now.
Thanks for all of the help.

Its hard to say what the possible cause could be, it could range anywhere to bad file downloads for what you were using to unbrick ( I assume you were using odin) all the way to hardware failure. I personally have never had that problem but if for whatever reason you aren't able to get your phone working again complain to samsung as it was their software that messed up your phone.

thats true ive already tried complaining to tmobile but samsung would say the same thing because i bought the phone off of ebay so i dont have any warranties i really hope that this method u showed me can help
This method will get you back to stock. IF you want to update through minikies, then you will probably have to update to Ji6 first after doing this But this will resolve your problems
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
also i would like to add that i have been trying odin i havent got any sleep at all trying to fix this phone ODIN SUX and im a bit upset that ive tried this over and over and it does work..
it wants me to get into usb debugging mode how do i do that if i cant get the phone to cut on?/
sigh now i got red text and the phone wont go into download mode again can anyone please help mee??/
Also, you will need to pull the sim and the sd card 1st before Odin back as long as Odin recognizes the phone you are ok, if Odin gives you problems you may want to try heimdall it works the same but sometimes just using a different program helps.
mr okal can u pls send me links to your method pls idk where to get the files

hold vol up and power only from a powered off state. this should bring you to a screen with red-orange writting. from there hold down vol up\down and power and that should bring you to dl mode. from there you need to use eugenes froyo that doesnt brick.
ive tried that already idk if i have the right eugenes froyo file but i got the phone to turn on and it does exactly what i told u guys it boots up and everything is ok except usb mode and my computer doesnt recognize it at all then once i turn the phone off it doesnt come back on unless i try the unbricking method all over again
it also whipes everything i had saved away.. Can someoen pls assist me with this?
i called samsung they offered to fix it because i have a warranty but there has to be a way to fix this at home i need my phone now to be honest. samsung will take forever to fix this and ship back..

***head desk*** you need to odin to stock jfd not unbrickable froyo. You ccan flash eugenes stuff after you go back to stock 2.1 . Use the links I provided earlier for odin then use the steps others have listed to get into DOWNLOAD mode. Then flash with odin
