Well i have bricked my phone once again. I mean this is no big deal, i can get a new one from tmobile. But i have one question to ask. Why does my phone brick when i odin from stock 2.1 to 2.2? I swear its happended to me like 3 times i think. Its the worst, any ideas?
which 2.2 tar file do you use? plus it's most likely just soft bricked...does it turn on, like at all?
No its hard bricked. NOTHING TURNS ON. i have no JIG btw
Want to try to help me?
this happened to me too just try to get into download mode
Try this. It just happened to me yesterday.
!
1, plug the usb cable into the pc
2. Open odin, load everything etc.
3. With the battery out connect the usb to the phone.
4. Hold the bottom button first then the top
4. Slide the battery in and see if that works.
I seriously had a hard brick yesterday, no lights no vibration no nothing. I kept holding both buttons at the same time but it didn't work. I tried the bottom button first like at 3 in the morning and.it worked. Matter of fact odin failed on me like 6 times! It would go up to like the modem or the rfs part and fail contributing to a worse brick until i got it the 7th time. Good luck!

my phone is that way right now... no lights, no vibration, etc... i'm letting my phone sit without the battery right now hoping that this will help before i try to get odin to recognize my phone... thanks for the advice... **fingers crossed**
If you have to
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

Or try that same method, but WITHOUT holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb. I actually dont pull the battery, simply hold the volume rocker down while plugging in your usb to pc, from a powered down state, and that ought to get it.

if you have the right drivers, then unplug your device, take off battery, push volume down button, and power button then connect your device and put battery again, and let see if it work. of course open odin and see if read your device.
I was Odining back to stock and then it failed. I turned my phone off then back on and it goes to This sign where is shows Phone caution sign then computer. Way to fix it?

Like i can't get into any of that though. I turn my phone on, And i don't even get the Vibrant screen, I get that sign with computer and phone...

this actually happened to me today.
Pull out the battery.
Hold the vol buttons [up and down].
Have Odin ready.
Plug in your phone. [keep holding the volume buttons]
put your battery back in.
If nothing happens, press the 'on' button [still holding the vol buttons]
Odin back to stock.
remove battery, plug in USB to phone, hold volume rocker and insert battery, if you dont get download plug the USB into the PC

Hey guys, I really need your help with this one.
I accidentally reset my Vibrant back to stock using the Odin one-click (I897UCJF6 final) for the samsung captivate. Now I can't go into download mode. I've tried holding the up/down volume button then putting the battery in (vibrant way) and the captivate way with up/down volume button + power button then releasing the power button.
Hold Up and down button, put battery in, then put in your USB cable. Make sure you dont press the power button.
Or
Get a Jig.

I've tried that numerous times. However, it's not working.
Edit: Thanks for mentioning about "jig". I'm guessing this is my last hope.
Possible remedy
I had a similar problem when working with my friends phone yesterday. I used the boot to download function in the AIO Toolbox app and it worked perfectly.
Good luck.
same thing happend to me kinda. just hold the up volume button only and plug the usb in. thats what i have to do now
So, i was trying to install TWRP into my lg g3 and when i tried to go into recovery mode, it turned off and during the lg logo screen a little message appeared: error boot certification verify. Now everytime i try to turn it on the same happens. Also, my pc won´t recognise the device, can´t enter into download mode or hard reset it. And the red and blue leds are blinking all the time. Please help
hmmm, ok ive had that happen before, you corrupted the boot.img but theres a way! have no fear!
For some people its difficult, it takes a little skill to get the VS985 into recovery, remove your battery, then reinsert it, make sure its NOT plugged into a USB wire, press and hold power and volume down, once you feel the phone vibrate, let it go and immidiately press it again! keep holding, it may take some finesse to do it, but once you see the factory reset screen go down to factory reset and select it with the power button then press YES, and it will take you to TWRP, hopefully you know what to do from there.
plan B is, remove the battery from the phone, and reinstert it, plug a USB cable into a PC, make sure the phone is off, Press and Hold volume UP, and insert the USB cable, keep holding volume up until you see that youre in download mode
hopefully this helps
