open odin
plug usb into pc
hold both volume buttons
plug usb into phone
or
open odin
plug usb into pc
pull battery
plug usb into phone
hold both volume buttons
push battery back in
should get you to download mode, took me 2 hours of trying once so keep trying if it doesnt go first time and try different usb ports
EDIT: or it might not go to download mode but it can still connect to odin from that screen and has the blue progress bar like odin under them icons
I love how people can use the search feature, this is by far the most asked ?
Yikes
Very scary. Can you get to recovery? Or is that what you get?
I fixed it after rebooting my comp and reinstalling the phones driver i was able to get odin to install the stock rom

Ok, so this is going to sound bad but heres what i did.. i had flashed Eugenes ginger clone r2 and then later flashed A_OVERKILL and it started to make my phone freeze so i wiped my phone and flashed a rom and now it flashes the vibrant screen over and over and i cant access download mode or recovery mode. im not using the stock usb cable if that makes any difference..
what you have is a boot loop.. you may have flashed an incompatible ROM and kernel.. whatever cable you're using should not matter as long as ODIN recognizes your device and getting to download mode should be fairly easy from your phone's current condition..
1. pull battery.. wait 5-10 secs
2. connect usb - to computer and phone
3. press and hold +/- volume buttons
4. plug battery back in
DONE! you should be download mode and ready for ODIN
have tried that along with several other methods, i cant access recovery or download mode from my phones state
i read somewhere that the stock usb is the one that gets u into download mode, the person sed he bought a back up from ATT and it never let him into download mode but when he switched back to stock he cood get into recovery so i have to wait till tomorrow to use a stock usb cable
Hey everyone.
So the other day I got excited about the CM7. I was following the steps to install it. i made a mistake. after i flashed the kernel. i rebooted my phone now all i get is a screen with picture of phone with a yellow triangle attached to a pc.
The thing i've tried to do was
1.take out the battery
2. take out the sim(which was already taken out to be in my gs4g)
3.took sd card out.
4.plug usb into phone and computer
5.put battery in while hitting the vol +/- minus rocker and nothing happens.i have odin open when I( try this.
my computer just wont pick it up.
when I plug in my gs4g it picks it up right away.
I've spent all weekend working on this.
also i think they only way before hand for me to get into download/recovery was for me to use adb. could that be why I'm not getting any progress?
Thanks in advance. Also sorry if this question has been asked so many times..
Is your problem getting into download mode? Or is it that you get into download mode but Odin won't recognize the device?
If its the former, getting into download mode is a bit tricky in CM7, I've done it plenty of times though. This worked for me.
1. Unplug the usb cord.
2. Pull out the battery.
3. Plug usb cord in.
4. Hold down vol+ & vol- and power button
5. You will see the loading circle or whatever it's called, when the screen goes black let go of power button.
You should be in download mode now. Sometimes you won't get the loading screen and the phone'll just boot up, if so pull the batt and try again.

I've done that many times. I've tried for several hours during the weekend. Also CM7 is not installed yet. was in the middle of installing then this happend.
just open odin and plug your phone in to your pc and see if you get a COM port...if you do then flash it from there..

not getting that at all no com ports show up.. I'm going to try this on a different computer.
When I get the black screen with that icon in the middle and I plug it in, Odin recognizes it right away. Furthermore, I've only gotten it before when I go into download mode(yellow sign + android sweeping) and Odin doesn't recognize my phone and I pull the battery then turn it back on.
Get odin up usb cord connected to the computer but not the phone
Remove the sim card the sd card and the battery and do the vol up and down boot. Then while holding the vol buttons down at the same time plug in the usb.
That should get you back to recovery.
READ the STICKY for NOOBS......... S15274N did a wonderful job of explaining all the methods on how to get into recovery from a soft brick
good luck

I've been trying all of those methods. Before this happened the only way for me to get into download was using adb reboot download command in adb.
The computer does not recognize in odin. I've tired this on two computers now.
I have all the drivers installed. i uninstalled ed reinstalled etc. used two different usb cables etc.
not sure what else to try. other than a baseball bat....
so i looked around and i bought a jig on ebay from skisky1. hopefully it will be here soon . to try this out .
and tried every method short of the jig to enter download mode. The rom I was on started force closing so I used a backup that was on my card and got stuck at the vibrant screen. When I pull the battery and plug in, the charge icon pops up but stays gray, if i leave it plugged in for a few minutes, kernel panic pops up. No 3 button combo seems to work for download or recovery, Iv'e used both many times, adb nor odin has recognized my phone. Any suggestions?
What rom were you on?
Holding in both volume buttons?
Have odin open and usb connected to pc already?
I was on the Beast and tried Private Stock without disabling voo doo, for some reason the usual usb button combo wont work, computer doesn't recognize at all
So, you tried to get into download mode these ways:
1-
On PC, open ODIN
Connect USB to PC (not phone)
Pull Battery on phone and replace it
Press and hold in both volume buttons
Connect USB to phone (volume buttons still pressed in)
Wait at least 3 seconds (still holding volume)
Release when you see the Yellow Triangle
2-
Open ODIN
Connect usb to pc
pull battery, sim, sd card
on odin, load the pit and tar files for jfd
connect usb to phone
hold in both volume buttons and insert the battery
3 seconds.. download mode?
Now, is your phone getting into download mode and the pc is not recognizing it? ie, the COM # is not showing? If that's the case, it sounds like you need the drivers... some other usb device is connecting and messing up odin (happens to me with my webcam)... or the usb cable you are using could be the issue, guesses
You should be good to go with s15274n second method. Good luck
I recently had a Phone ... ! ... PC that refused to disappear. I was able to see a COM port in ODIN, but could not get it to show Download Mode on the phone. I went ahead and tried to start the ODIN flash anyway, and it worked like a charm. If you see a COM port in ODIN, try flashing anyway.
No luck with either of those methods, odin doesn't see it at all.The only thing other than kernel panic, a gray battery symbol, or the vibrant screen was a button forced upload screen similar to kernel panic.
I just downloaded fresh jfd files, method 2, got a power reset or unknown upload mode, popped up in an odin window but hung up on file analysis

I totally messed up while trying to install the Simple Honey ROM. I was trying out an ICS rom for a lil while then decided to go back to GB....I ODIN'd back to Eclair, then flashed this rom without flashing GB Bootloader. Now, i am stuck in a bootloop and i cannot get into download mode!!! There are times where I almost get into download mode but a rainbow appears and then it goes into Kernel panic upload mode. The only thing I have not tried yet is using a USB Jig because I have just bought one and it is shipping in the mail. Is there any other way to get it into to download mode? I cannot post in the dev forum because I don't have enough post. Please someone assist me in fixing this issue.
I have tried the following.
1. Install Samsung USB Drivers.
2. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
4. Plug USB cable into Phone.
5. Plug USB cable into PC.
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.
Tried the following with odin:
As for download mode;
1. pull the battery,
2. put it back in;
3. then, with the phone still off, plug your usb into the computer,
4. turn on odin3,
5. hold the center of the volume buttons,
6. plug the usb to the phone while holding the volume botton
tried holding both volumes without a battery then put the battery in and while still holding plug into usb to see if odin showed a yellow com button. Rainbow occurred and kernel panic upload mode appears.
If odin does detect my phone, the longest it will detect my phone for is around 30 seconds then it will either reboot or go into kernel panic upload mode.
cannot try this posted by Raymond PJR post #9492 p950 on the simple honey thread because I cannot get it into download mode
The bootlooping probably has nothing to do with the GB Bootloaders, but is a known issue that is resolved by immediately flahsing Bullet then back to Talon if you want. So, get the Bullet .tar, start Odin on your PC, get into download mode, connect to your pc and flash Bullet. Then if you want to be able to see what is going on in recovery, consider flahsing the GB Bootloaders. Some say they can still make out the menus under the rainbows, but I don't know. I just went ahead and flashed them. READ, READ, READ, every OP before flahsing, (GB Bootloaders OP, Bullet OP, and if you've never used Odin, the OP of any thread you read on instructions. And watch any related videos on YouTube!
Bootloaders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1117990
Bullet Kernels: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/639-kerne...es-edt6242011/
also tried this because I could not get download mode or recovery mode. So I tried this trick through odin but it still did not get it into recovery mode after this.

is there any other way that it can be saved without a jig though?
I have a rooted i777 with SHOstock rom, I haven't updated the rom for a few months so I'm not sure which version it is.
The phone was working yesterday and it suddenly got stuck so I tried to reboot it (had to take out the battery because the power button didn't respond) but now each time I try to turn it on it is stuck on a black screen with the logo "Samsung Galaxy SII" and won't progress.
I tried to boot to recovery but it shows a screen saying "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7" but it doesn't go pass the screen to show the recovery menu (it just reboots after being stuck on this screen for about a minute).
I tried to boot to download mode and succeeded, but every time I connect the device to my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it
(I tried re-installing kies, but it didn't help and probably the problem is not with the pc drivers because if I connect my wife's unrooted i777 to the pc it does recognize it).
so now I don't have clue what else to try.
any advice will be appreciated.
Make sure you have Odin v1.85 on your Windows PC. Look in the Windows Add/Remove programs dialog (or Uninstall a Program dialog) to see if you have SAMSUNG USB driver for mobile phones.
Open Odin on the desktop. Next put the phone into download mode by holding down vol + and vol - while plugging in the USB cable.
If Odin recognizes your phone, flash back to stock. I would recommend UCMD8 stock firmware, which you can get from the Download Repository.
don't know what happened to it but now it doesn't even turn on.
it's stopped turning on before I had a chance to try what you suggested.
now even if I connect it to the charger it doesn't show the charging status.
is there any other "force something" I can try?

Remove the battery and leave it out. Connect the USB cable to your PC. While holding down the vol- button (also try it with both vol- and vol+) but not the power button, plug the USB cable into the phone. The computer will provide the power. If this works, your phone will go into download mode. If not... you have very likely had some kind of hardware failure.
unfortunately it didn't work.
can't get it to download mode.
I'll try to leave the battery out for a longer time and try again.
should I try ordering a JTAG usb and see if it puts it in download mode or
probably my only option is to send it to mobiletechvideos?
I had the same problem, Your battery got too low. Pull your battery and leave it out for a while 15 mins or so. Put the battery back in and connect charger. Let the battery charge for a while without trying to turn on phone. The phone will not turn on with a dead battery even if it is connected to charger.
I just solved a problem that I didn't find any help with, so I thought I would post it here in case somebody else needs help out of this situation, and this is a recent and related thread.
After I pulled the battery of my i777 to test in another phone, without remembering to power my phone off first, it would only hang at the Samsung boot logo (stock UCMD8 ROM, rooted, stock recovery). Normally the Samsung boot screen shows for only about five seconds. Pulling the battery wouldn't get it to boot right. Holding Power to force a reboot didn't solve it. After clearing the cache it would move to the AT&T Rethink Possible screen once, then reboot and then again get hung on the Samsung logo screen. Also my battery was heating up a lot as it was hung.
I could get into both download mode and recovery. I tried reflashing my ROM from the stock file in ODIN since that would save all of my data IF it worked. This still didn't get it to boot past the first logo. Finally doing a factory reset on stock recovery is what solved my problem. I had to re-add my account and reload apps from scratch, etc.
