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.

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.
ok I need help I used odin to flash jl4 but now I cant get the phone to go into download mode to reflash anything I have tried everything I know holding all three buttons then letting the vol go holding just vol up and power and holding vol down and power nothing works!
Dont hold power take out battery plug in the usb to a computer hold both volume keys down while putting in the battery or turn off the phone hold volume keys while plugging in the usb

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.

+1 to bricked's method!
I am trying to root my GT7510 (wifi only) and can't get into downloading mode to use odin. I tried posting in that forum, but i do not have enough posts. I have tried the volume down + power button method, but all it does is reboot the tab over and over. If it makes any difference i am on build HMJ37.UEKME P7510UEKME. Should i do a factory restore and try before applying any updates? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you releasing the power button or just continuously holding it down? If it's the latter, that's your problem. Hold volume down, and hold the power button down. As soon as the first Samsung screen pops up, release the power button immediately while still holding the volume down button. You should get into bootloader mode.

Wow, i feel pretty dumb now lol. That was it. I thought it was like getting into the CWM on my epic. Thank you!
No problem! I was new once too, I actually made the same mistake with my Vibrant, trying to get it into download mode.
I like how easy it is to get into download mode on the galaxy tab compared to how I had to do it on the Vibrant
