I was running simply honey 3.8 on my phone and my phone was working fine untill when i tried to flash bootlader for gingerbread i for reason took the usb cable out while it was flashing it now i am stuck on download mode and odin is not able to recognize my device , so basically i cant flash nything now i tried to download samsung drivers many time but no luck
please somebody help me with my phone
hmm.....first of alll WHY DO YOU TAKE IT OUT IT TAKES 6 SECS
anyway did you turn it off.....most likely you will have to do a JTAG reset
yah you half flashed a bootloader? .... the fine print in the bootloader Post is very Clear that it is one of the only true ways to HARD BRICK your vibrant.

close odin reopen and attempt to reconnect and flash your Froyo Bootloader. if that don't work you may want to consider a new phone. there aren't any samsung repair centers here in the usa to my knowledge. and your warranty is far gone. Sorry can't help more then that but Bootloaders aren't to be trifled with. Goodluck.
When u do a gingerbread bootloader the method of download mode is very different then froyo so u will have to look that up but its not holding down +,_ volume its something different for gingerbread. But once u figure that out!
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
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
double post, sorry
DONT TURN THE PHONE OFF, IT WONT COME BACK ON
just keep unplugging and plugging in till it recognises it, try diff usb ports
only way to recovery hard brick is with a jtag, wasnt expensive for me and only took a day but im in the UK
thanks for replying my got turned off when i connect to the charger i get phone exclamation mark and a computer and i was able to get into download mode but my phone is not able to connect to odin
VERY lucky there...next time just don't do that with a 7 second flash.
reinstall the drivers
but i try to do that but it still not connecting my phone
took me 2 hours of trying to get it to connect last time, i was going to give up but tried for a few more min and it got it
late to the game here... can you boot up the phone? I guess not, but if you could, turning off USB debugging, connect to usb, drivers install, then turning debugging back on would have done it i believe.
have you uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers?
have you trid multiple usb ports?
have you removed other usb items and rebooted the pc?
all of these things sound odd but have proven to help.

Hi, I recently bought a used Vibrant from someone... Worked great.
So I decide to update it and hope maybe get the GPS fixed, but Kies wouldnt work, I tried on 5 different computers with different windows, no luck, crashed on windows 7, and said the OS on the phone is a modified version and so it cant update on Windows XP,
So I decide to try Odin... but Odin only detects the phone in USB Debugging mode, and thats wasnt very helpful... For some reason, whenever I try to put the phone in Download mode, Windows XP AND 7 say that an unrecognized device has been attached... I tried USB drivers, 10 different times on each comp, different combos, different techniques from all over the forum and the internet... Odin wouldnt show the device in Download mode.
So I install clockwork and download the rom to restore the device to its factory state, I have it reboot into clockwork recovery and restore it using the files I downloaded to the phone... Now the phone doesnt boot, it stays stuck on the "Samsung" logo, I hear the T-Mobile jingle, but thats just it, the Samsung logo stays on and nothing happens.
I cant access the phone from the computer at all now, since it could never detect the phone in Download mode anyways, and when I put the phone in recovery mode, it shows two hard drives that I cant open... I have a micro sd card that I tried to load another restore onto and try to use that in recovery, but the recovery mode wont let me browse the sd card....
I hit a brick wall now... I don't think I have a use for yet another paperweight.
Ive all but given up, so if you could please help me, I would reaaaally appreciate it.
Edit: I tried using Ubuntu, but same thing, nothing happens in Download mode, and it only shows two drives that I cant access in recovery mode.
What ROM did you flash?
Yes, I installed the drivers over 10 times over on 10 different comps using 10 different versions of the drivers.
Kies, Kies Mini, drivers I found on these forums, drivers I found in other forums... nothing
Rom... Ummmm I used this file wwwmediafirecom/?kqaulorzx5f6dyq
UPDATE: I formatted the sdcard now, cleared cache and personal data using the recovery console... Now im even more screwed up because I cant access the other options
"E:Cant open /sdcard/update.zim (so such file or directory) installation aborted"
Ok, I put the phone in recovery mode and opened Odin, it was detected... I know its supposed to be download mode, but Im really desperate and am going to try anything since it only detects my phone in recovery mode... I pressed start in Odin and it hasn't moved in 30 minutes
"<ID:0/026> Added!!
<ID:0/026> Removed!!
<ID:0/026> Added!!
<ID:0/026> Odin v.3 engine (ID:26)..
<ID:0/026> File analysis..
<ID:0/026> SetupConnection.."
Any suggestions?
Odin will not work in Recovery mode, you have to be in Download mode, use the key combinations for download mode, mine is turn off the phone, unplug the USB and hold down the volume key and turn the phone on, while holding the volume down, and make sure you have the pit file, do a reasearch and you will find the pit file for vibrant. You have to have the pit file attached when you use Odin. But make sure you are in download mode not in recovery.
Get phone into download mode. The easiest way to do this is pull out battery from phone. Then plug phone into usb connected to computer it will have the battery sign. Hold volume keys and power button when the screen goes black let go of power button. You will be in download mode if Odin doesn't detect it unplug usb and replug it.
Also clockwork can not read your sdcard, it only reads your interal storage.
I tried that for Odin again, and it didnt work, I also tried a hundred different methods and steps, but they all have the same problem.
Im on Windows 7 64 bit, and I get a message after about 5 seconds of plugging my download-mode phone into the computer that says "USB Device not recognized - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it, for assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
In device manager, I see one of the devices is called "unknown device" when I plug in the phone in download mode... I tried to manually install drivers from a list, but none seem to work so far...
What if I manage to somehow put a file in the internal memory, would I be able to use the recovery console to bring the phone back to life?

Correct. You can get into cwm recovery still correct? only if yes to first.....And when you are in cwm with phone plugged into pc if you type adb devices what comes up?
Wait... I must be confusing recovery mode with CWM... Sorry Im still new to android... How can I bring up CWM if the phone doesnt boot? Last time I brought up CWM I had to use the ROM manager when the phone was working........
OH CRAP! Now I get it, when you try to reboot into CWM, it reboots into recovery the first time, and then youll have to reboot again to get into CWM... Oh... So that means.... I tried to restore the file I downloaded using the recovery console, and thats why it crashed my phone....
Well.... Im gonna try to connect the phone to yet another computer in download mode, I doubt it will work, but I will try.
Meanwhile if you guys have any suggestions.... And sorry for my stupidity...
Oh, and as for ADB, I tried to install that on my computer, but when I go to CMD, it keeps giving me an error saying the device is offline... So Im guessing I have to turn it on somehow using the phone...?

Thegreat has helped me narrow things down... Im using a blackberry mini USB data cable, and so that COULD be the problem.
If anyone reading this has a mini USB cable that was not specifically made for the vibrant, could you please try to connect your vibrant to your computer in download mode using the cable that wasnt made for the vibrant?
Does the computer detect it?
I would really appreciate any feedback, because I dont currently have the original cable, and it would take a long time to get one shipped from samsung, not to mention the hefty pricetag because its OEM.
Help would be appreciated
I have used a blackberry specific cable when booting into dl mode and flashing odin, and it works for me.
Try this method if you haven't already, or keep trying it, sometimes doesn't work the first time.
1. Open odin on your pc an have the pit and tar fies loaded.
2. Remove battery, sd, and sim cards.
3. Plug in usb cable from pc to phone.
4. Holding both volume up and volume down, pop the battery in.
That should boot you right into dl mode. If you get the green battery image, pull battery and try it again. I have found if you hold the phone face down in your left hand when holding the volue buttons, makes it a little easier to keep the buttons depressed whie popping the battery in. Hope this helps, good luck.

Was there any resolution to this problem? I've been having the same problem for a while now. Worked around it using Wifi apps to log into my phone, as well as just using the external SD card for most media files.
Odin doesn't even recognize my phone and I've tried just about everything. I just get a USB Device not Recognized message when I plug it in and even then I don't always get that.
Thanks. I'd love to be able to odin the phone back to stock and see if the ROMs I've been using perform better after that.
I was trying to flash my phone into a gingerbread rom and it failed. Now my phone wont even turn on. I tried to get into download mode. Nothing, read alot of threads and all they tell me is to open odin and it will fix it by reflashing to an oem stock rom. The only problem the phone doesnt respond to anything I do. Can you help me.

Are you getting into download mode with the battery pulled(ie...pull battery and hold vol. down, yellow triangle should appear)? If so, try redownloading the samsung drivers. If that don't work, try another computer to make sure its not a usb issue. also make sure your using the stock usb cable that came with your phone.
ya i have tried 4 computer is the household and still not yellow triangle...err....someone told me try and make
You can try to put it in download mode away from the computer by keeping the battery in, pressing and holding the volume down button, and plugging it into a wall socket.
If the phone powers on and goes into download mode, unplug it and go over to your computer without turning the phone off. Plug it into your USB port and remove the battery.
From there you should be able to run Odin and flash back to stock.
Not sure if it will work for you... but it's worth a shot.
what i have heard i hard bricked the phone. I can get the phone even to turn on. I have tried the usb jig but i couldnt get it to work so i ordered one on line and should be here tommarow. I believe that I flashed with my sd card in would that cause this to happen?
hi every body , my t-mobile vibrant has breaked because i have flash incorrect pit file with odin, now my phone is off and have the black screen and odin can't know my phone ,i do every way i know but it's still in black screen and not runing downloading mod or recovery, and odin can't know it too , somebody help me ...
There are about a 1000 different posts on this forum and others that explain the half-dozen (or more) ways to get your phone into download mode. They don't all work on every Vibrant, but keep trying. One of them will work. If all else fails, buy/make a usb jig that will force it into DL mode. This one works for me every time: With Odin open, plug USB cable into your computer. Pull your battery out and leave it out. Hold down both the volume up AND down buttons at the same time and plug the USB data cable into the phone.
N.B. 1. If you aren't using a Samsung data cable, this may fail.
2. Try different (older) versions of Odin. My phone for some reason really prefers Odin 3 Version 1.0--no idea why, but it would sometimes hang with later versions.
3. Run Odin as Admin. (Right click, run as, etc...)
If you need an older version of Odin, search. After that, if you can't find it, search some more. If that fails, PM me and I will put v1.0 up (but I know you will find it before it comes to that)
Edit: Get the proper pit file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/s1_odin_20100512.pit/download and don't ever use anything else unless a trusted developer tells you to.
It never seizes to amaze me how people just start flashing away without doing the proper research and understanding what flashing an Android phone is all about.
Unbelievable
You need to get your phone to a download mode. To get the download mode:
1. Unplug your phone
2. Pull the battery
3. Make sure the other end of the usb is still connected to a PC
4. Press and hold Vol Up and Down
5. Plug the USB to your phone
6. Slide the battery in
I did all of those steps with two hands. lolz
Good luck

my note froze up for 5 minutes so i took the battery out and tried to power on by button but no response have been on the charger for hours and nothing. I plugged it in to the computer and is recognized but phone wont show any life. I tried all physical button combos and took battery out for 10 minutes. Phone is and has never been rooted. please any help.
can you get it into download mode?
1. Disconnect the phone from your pc or wall socket
2. Plug a usb cable into your pc, but not into the phone yet
3. Remove and replace the phone battery
4. while holding the volume down and power buttons, connect the phone to the usb that is connected to your pc
If you're in download mode you'll see a big green android guy with the word "Downloading..." underneath.
Not sure what could've gone wrong, but if you can get into download mode, then there is still hope yet for your device.
If you can get into download mode, and you are willing to try some things, it may be possible for you to flash a stock recovery using a tool like Odin. There are guides available for this, like the one here. I would wait on some of the more experienced folks to put in their 2 cents still...like i said, that has never happened to me, so i'm not sure what could be the problem...

U sure u never tried to root it or anything? Either way that's a hard brick my friend, it can't be fixed with software, you have to send it in for repair, or warranty that sucker. I suggest u just warranty
I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.
That screen is a form of download mode. You should be able to flash stock or stock plus root from there.

If this statement reflects what you actually did, then it suggests the wrong order. You must first open oden on the desktop, and then connect the phone to the computer in download mode.
Try that first.
Next you could try putting the phone into download mode with the battery pulled out. Open Odin on the desktop, then with the battery out, hold down the vol- button while plugging in the usb cable.
Thanks for your response.
So I went ahead and cleared out everything and then reinstalled the USB drivers. Opened ODIN, connected USB to computer, took battery out of phone, put battery back in, held down volume buttons and inserted the cord. The screen immediately loaded up the one I spoke of in my first post. Odin still did not recognize that I had my phone plugged in.
So then I installed Kies and went to the firmware restoration item under the tools menu. Entered my model and serial number and put my phone into recovery mode according to the instructions there, but the "Start Upgrade" button was grayed out and never became clickable.
One thing I did notice while doing this (On yet another new computer) is that when I plug in the phone, I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error in Windows. I'm not sure if this is a result of it being in download mode or not, but I thought it worth mentioning. I did attempt to blow out my mini USB on the phone for good measure, but had the same result, even with another cord.
On ur Windows pc, did u try different usb ports ? And don't use a usb hub.

Yes, multiple ports on multiple PCs.
The port was working fine yesterday when the Kies update failed.
Have u tried using a Jig to get ur phone into download mode ??

First of all make sure that your PC isnt running Kies in the background - Use Tsk Manager to kill Kies process
Then Plug In your Phone
Enter Download Mode by holding both volume buttons and powerbutton till the Boot Screen Appears.Let the power button go when you see the boot screen but keep holding the volume buttons.
In no time you'll be in Download mode
Then go to odin and check if your computer recognises it. Odin willl show you (Com:x) X - Any Number
Then you can easily flash stock rom or a custom recovery..

You could order one fairly inexpensive. But order it or make it still takes some time. But as several have mentioned, it may help.
Did you try forcing download mode with the battery out as I suggested in the second post?
Yes, I have tried forcing download mode by taking the battery out, holding down Vol and inserting it again. These are also the instructions that Kies gives, but it didn't work there either.

My phones update failed and I got the same phone, triangle, computer. I tried different USBs, different USB ports, different computers, tried Odin, nothing worked. As soon as I found my USB jig that was lying around, and plugged it in before I put in the battery, and the regular download mode which I am used to seeing showed up. ODIN recognized the phone and I flashed back to stock ICS rooted I downloaded from XDA.

That's different that what I suggested. Remove the battery and leave it out. If you have to, sit on it so you won't be tempted to put it back in, lol. While holding vol down button, plug in the usb cable. The usb will supply the power. The phone should boot into download mode.

I guess I misread that. I blame it on my stressful week ending with no phone
So I just did that and boom, download mode as I would expect loaded up first time, no issues after I held down both Volume buttons while plugging it in (Holding down just Vol - didn't do anything). Unfortunately, it still did not show up in Odin (Kies background processes were all killed and USB driver IS installed on this computer and Odin WAS open before I plugged the phone in)
So I unplugged, opened Kies, and was going to try a restore through there since I could finally get download mode working properly. Except when I tried it this time, nothing happened. I held down the vol buttons, plugged it in, got a single vibrate, but nothing showed up on the screen. Unplugged, put the battery in, and it turned on and screen worked. Took out the battery and just plugged it in and the screen worked after vibrating 6 short pulses (It pulled up the screen mentioned in my first post). Unplugged, held down vol buttons and plugged it in, same thing. Blank screen.
Now I'm really at a loss. I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my USB port on the phone itself.

Hi there,
i have same problem with my Galaxy ACE GT-S5839i: i can't get ODIN to detect my phone. Originally, i tried to flash my phone and made a mistake in the process (installed a ROM before i installed CWM). This caused my phone to stop booting. The only thing remaining working is the download mode. But i can't get ODIN to detect. I tried 2 PCs, different USB ports; i tried to install Kies, or just the drivers... nothing makes ODIN detect my phone... I hear my PCs detects the phone when in download mode (it bips) and my PCs both recognized my phone (Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device). On PC uses windows 7 and the other Windows Vista. I ran ODIN v4.38 on both... Would be grateful for any idea what to do...

The only thing remaining working is the download mode. But i can't get ODIN to detect. I tried 2 PCs, different USB ports; i tried to install Kies, or just the drivers... nothing makes ODIN detect my phone... I hear my PCs detects the phone when in download mode (it bips) and my PCs both recognized my phone (Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device). On PC uses windows 7 and the other Windows Vista. I ran ODIN v4.38 on both... Would be grateful for any idea what to do...

I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.

I had the same problem with kies on a sprint s2. EXACT same problem. Cord got jerked out in the middle of Odin flash. THE ONLY screen i could get is the one you described.
Also went through the steps with keis, dl firmware, got to the last part but the start button was greyed out. I had to do this several times and finally the start button lit up. Idk why it didn't work before but it finally did. Have you tried doing it more than once?
I wished i could be more help but that was my experience. Maybe it will work for you.
