here is a sure way to get to download mode i use it all the time when im soft bricked, take out your battery put it back in plug your phone in and hold down the volume up and volume down do NOT press the power button u should get into download mode if that works i think the best thing to do is odin to stock JFD

Yeah, I have no problems getting in download mode. I'm just wondering why I can't seem to update the bootloaders? Might have to go with restore with JFD for now.

yea its alright i have problems with bootloaders when i odin to JFD so i think u should odin to JFD and use AIO vibrant toolbox located in android vibrant development root the phone and if u still cant get bootloaders odin a rom on your phone that flashes with odin
Starting to think my phone just doesn't work with odin....
Currently phone is still soft bricked. I put the phone back in Download Mode and start the restore process.
Using the following instructions to restore the stock JDF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
Odin just hangs on the "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"
You should download Samsung Kies mini which will give you the correct drivers. That way, it will not fail. After you do that, go into download mode, and flash the bootloaders from adyscorpius' thread.
I managed to restore my phone to JDF (took 3 tries)
Any, when ahead with one click root.
Try installing the bootloader and now I'm softbricked again
Work on Galaxy S 4g??
Hi I have a samsung galaxy s 4g and I know Im not supposed to post for the 4g in the vibrant section but I really need to find a bootloader that I can flash with odin, would this file mess up my phone?
I doubt it. And if it was me I wouldn't try.

Ok heres the deal, I tried a bunch of custom roms eventually leading to hybridv3 then I tried flashing with the Stock vibrant rom and that didnt work so I went to Vibrant4, then stupidly renamed the Stock vibrant rom to update.zip and used android recovery to update packages. Now my phone goes through the boot up but I just get a black screen. Is there any hope for me?
Your Fired! Lol..jk
I would use odin to reload the stock firmware.
I can't seem to get my Vibrant to show up on a com port, I have the pit and the tar files but my vibrant wont show up in odin.

I did something similar a while back. You may need to flask the stock rom via odin. The link to the thread for it is in the bible sticky in this section. Set up odin before you connect the phone to the computer. Also if you use windows vista or 7 you need to open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. For it to work you need to get the phone to download mode. Pull the battery, put it back in. dont touch the power button. Hold the up and down volume buttons and plug the usb into the phone when the other end is already plugged into the computer. It should be in dl mode. Good luck

Odin is doing it's thing right now, Thank you so much!!
Just to recap since the correct information has never been added to an OP:
You must install ODIN and the correct USB drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7657252#post7657252 .
Get the phone into download mode. Several different instructions have been posted meaning either different versions of the same phone get into DLM different ways or everyone else is posting the wrong instructions.
What works on mine: Have phone off, ODIN open, and correct USB drivers already installed. HOLD vol up+vol down and plug in the USB, and do not touch the power button.
Okay so i ditched the stock rom for axura 1.0 and am using it...but i changed my mind and want to go back to stock...but never made a backup of my stock rom in clockwork like a moron. Now i tried Odin and here is the weird part it detects my phone in recovery mode...but not download mode so now im stuck trying to get back to stock vibrant 2.1...any suggestions?
Thank You
Start odin first, then hold the volume keys, then insert the usb cable
This always works for me when odin doesn't detect my phone

This is the easiest way. Download Terminal from Market and enter SU (gives you root access) and then type reboot download
Your phone will reboot into Download mode
i tried the su reboot download and it didnt detect it and i reinstalled the drvers too no luck cuz it says usb device not reconized when in download mode but when in recovery or normal mode it is detected no issue
Here's how I do it if everything else fails. Have ODIN v1.3 opened up first. Next, make sure phone is in debug mode and make sure its checked . Next,while phone still connected to pc, remove back cover and pull battery out. Before inserting the battery back in, hold the phone side ways while pressing the volume up/down at the same time now insert the battery. Your screen should now display yellow big letters -
Download Mode - Do not turn off target.

Read the Vibrant Bible here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771111 . Read the top 2 sections --Useful links and Odin.
By the way, is your phone rooted?
Have you tried using a different USB port? Sometimes that helps.
yes the phone is rooted and i tried using odin v1.0 and 1.7 ill try 1.3 idk if it makes a difference
One method I've read on the boards is to flash "Eugene's froyo that doesnt' Brick". Of course that is an Odin file so...we need to get Odin working for you. Like icandy said, try a different USB port and see if that works. If nothing else also post in Master's Axura thread and ask him/her what the best method of downgrading to 2.1 is. I'm not sure if you'd have to flash Eugene's Kernel Back Support or not. I know this isn't too helpful but hopefully it'll give you a few ideas.

Hello guys. My phone don't turn on when i press power button, VOL UP/DOWN buttons don't work also.
1. I flashed my vibrant with Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10*. Don't know why after what i can't access download mode by 3 buttons. I had Android System Recovery <3e>.
2. After that i try go to download mode with battery out method, and it was fine. Next step was downgrade firmware to T959UVJE8-factory-final-MS_Guru.
3. After that i had "Android System Recovery <2e>" message
4. I tried to reinstall back Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo ODIN *2E Recovery +SD Fixed Updated*11/09/10* but something happend and Odin software Failed and i had "picture phone ! pc".
5. I tried both methods to go to download mode and after half an hour method with battery out and pushing vol up/down buttons accepted.
6. Then i tried to reinstall original firmware one more time. And it was fine. You can see screenshot in attachment.
7. But my phone after flashing turns off for rebooting and died.
When i trying to connect it with pc or charger nothing happens. Buttons don't work. Nothing on screen. Battery out not helped.

Did you try holding volume up and down and plug in usb cable method to get into download? I'm kind of wondering why you had those other files in there. The guides I saw just had the sit and the pda tar.

I think mbrock meant pit, not sit.
And yes, you only need the .pit and the .tar files.

Maybe this info will be helpfull. In this situation with dead Samsung Galaxy, Vibrant, Captivate only one ressurection. You need to open your mobile phone and reflash boot loader using RIFF Box JTAG which you can find only in service center. And you need to save your IMEI information which you must read from this address 0х80000 and this lenth 0хA80000. Thats all.
i tried that method you decscribed , now my phone is in MOde that say "power reset or unknown upload mode" any clue about how to get into download mode from this. odib detects my phone in this mode but i don't think it will load the software since it is not in download mode.
Stuck in Boot and a robot girl saying "risk cooperation??" after rom install
I recently tried installing Darky's v6.0 gingerbread edition and though it was somewhat successful. I had a lot of force closes and what not so I thought I'd try reboot it and so I did. Now I get this the Samung Vibrant screen and the Galaxy S GT-I9000 switching back and forward from each other and having some Robot girl saying "Risk cooperation???"" Something like that. So I figure I would try to goto recovery mode and wipe everything but it won't even let me into recovery mode. Someone please help.

You might have to odin to stock. This is an one click too.

To get into download mode unplug your phone, take out your battery. Put the cable into your computer, hold the vol - and +, plug into your phone then insert the battery. (Put battery case on too so it does not fall out.)
It will revert you back to factory. Root it using it as well (using the tool), and then download miui from rom manager.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
I made this MIUI install guide for my GF at the time it's broken down in the simplest terms humanly possible so if the guide sounds like it's mocking you, well it's not it's just designed for people who have no idea what there doing, aka My ex lol follow it to A T starting with Odining to stock.

Note about odin it's reasonably self explanitory
open the program check ONLY these boxes
Repartition
Auto-Reboot
Reset Time
Select the "pit" button choose
512.pit
select the "PDA" button Choose
T959UVJFD.tar
turn phone off
press and hold Vol+ and Vol- now plug in usb that should enter you into Download mode and odin should find the device press start and wait for the phone to finish the process
now follow the guide on installing MIUI.
