NEED URGENT HELP Bricked Samsung Vibrant ?! PLEASE HELP - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, Long story short, I bricked my Vibrant. NO DOWNLOAD MODE
I have put it in DL mode before, but I can't now.
Its a screen of:
a Phone...A Yellow Triangle with an exclamation mark !...and a Computer
You would just go "Hey put it in DL mode and flash ODIN"
No... I can't get into download mode anymore, whenever I hold down the volume key and power, the phone goes blank and back to the screen with the phone yellow triangle and exclamation mark.... nothing works. At all
PLEASE tell me how to fix this! ... if there is a fix!
I have heard of the JIG but I am nervous about this and I dont think I can build one.
Please, just tell me how to put the phone in DL mode or just tell me how to fix my phone dangit! thanks so much!! :/

You should be about to use Odin from that screen. It basically works the same as download mode.

Thanks! Okay, I put the phone it the yellow exclamation mark mode.
Odin Recognized it in COM7 and I put the PIT file and the PDA File,
but, the phone goes blank (black screen no exclamation mark)
Odin just sits there, unable to do anything and the phone is all the way blank.
Is it good that Odin recognizes the phone? Can i work from there?
Any Ideas? Thanks!!

If its any help, I was using CyanogenMod7 when this happened.
So I think I am on a Gingerbread Bootloader, If it helps at all,
I heard you jsut press volume up and power and then DL mode will come on,
It didnt in my case :/

Praise the LORD. I did not do anything myself.
I saw there was no hope in this situation so I got down a prayed.
Seriously guys, it works, I'm not saying this is a legit fix, but it worked for me.
I am a Christian who has devoted my life to God a long time ago.
This is proof he is mighty to do all things! (let he trolling begin, huh?)
Who cares.
Rundown of the Situation.
The phone would not do anything. Just sit there in that stupid ! screen and odin would recognize it, but it wouldn't flash back to 2.1.
I prayed, I hit a button I've never seen before, and it went "PHONE RESET!"
The Vibrant splash screen Turned on, and I battery pulled and Plugged the phone into the PC and the loading circle showed up.
I hit both the volume up and down keys along with the power button and the phone went into download mode.
I loaded the PIT and PDA/Tar file onto ODIN and clicked start.
As I type this my phone booted up and head the Tmobile Jingle!
Its fully working now, no brick.
God bless!
Matthew 19:26 -Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Just goes to show you, nothing is too big or too small for God to do something about it.
Psalm 55:22 Cast all your cares upon the LORD, for he cares for you!
Can I get an AMEN?

I wish I could put up a Hawaiian flag. So I could say "From Hawaii, lives in Ohio"
btw - I can't tell you how many times God saved my phone. Countless times I've seen the devil foot stomp my vibrant while I hopelessly sit by and watch in tears. Just to see the dark clouds open in my most desperate times and a bright light shine down upon my Vibrant. Sometimes its Macho Man Randy Savage that saves my phone though.

Don't Suppose you could toss me a copy of the PIT and PDA that you used? I'm in the same boat.... :[

usb jig
you may use the usb jig trick using the 301k resistor but i should warn you that carelessness shall rather double up your phone.my warning is that you shouldn't let the resistor touch any other part of the contacts on your phone's board coz this would create too much of a short that can't be easily rectified and the final resort shall be replacing your motherboard...this is costly and sometimes you may lack to find the motherboard,so my warning,pliz be careful...good luck
