Open odin in pc.remove the battery and re insert it.press volume up,down and power button together.the icon(icon indicating pc and phone) will disappear in a while.now unpress the power button while holding volume up and down together.phone should get in to download mode ..now you can odin back to jfd.
If the phone does not get into download mode by this method remove your batter.connect the phone to the pc.while holding the volume up and down buttons together re insert the battery.then the phone should go into the download mode.then you can coding back to jfd.good luck.

It might work if you are in gb boot loaders.by the way I have also had the same problem three four times.but all the times I could odin back to stock jfd by using above methods.

FYI - This happened to me and you can get it into download mode but it might not show the actual download screen. As soon as you plug it in you'll get the confirmation from ODIN that it is connected.

I am getting the exact same screen...cant get it to recovery or download mode.
its not bricked, I had this many times while pulling the usb or battery while in odin. Plug in the usb and press and hold vol up and down and power. When the screen goes black let go of power while continuing to hold vol up and down. Should bring you back to download mode
I was able to get it into download mode and flash the rom. Thanks

How'd you get it to flash? I got that same screen but in ODIN it just sits at cache.rfs... nothing good happening after that. It is basically frozen.

OMG I finally got it. I had to leave ODIN open after it stuck at file analysis. I then took out the battery of the phone and put it back into download mode. I click start in ODIN and thankfully... she's flashing back to stock 2.1. I had tried a million different ways... ODIN is not exceptionally stable. No bueno. I think I'm going to keep the stock Kernal cause this was scary... lol.

I had the same problem.
What you have to do is run Odin with the usb connected to the phone, then you unplug and plug the usb back in, hold the vol - and + with the power button at the same time, once the screen goes black, release the power button, but keep holding the vol - and + buttons and Odin will recognize your phone. then the phone will be at the downloading screen
That's how it worked for me.
What did you do to get your phone in this state? Try to root ??

Yup. The key part is to leave ODIN open.

I cannot seem to get into download mode. I have tried everything you guys suggested.

Only suggestion I can give is to keep trying, that's how I got my phone out of that dreaded state in the OP's pic.
Man I'm in the same boat. I tried the key combination many times before this. I was flashed bionix 1.2 w/OC and was using ROM Manager to revert back to my previous ROM which was stock and when it was done it rebooted and would stay stuck with the Samsung Vibrant screen. I ended upsing ADB to get it into download mode and the other modes but I tried to use ODIN to restore after it was in download mode and it just seemed stuck. How long does it take to usually load the kernel? Well it was taking so long so I just pulled the USB plug. After I did this I got that cellphone and computer icon. I've tried many times to get it into download mode or restore mode many times with the volume button and power button and haven't had any luck at all. I'll keep trying. I hope this really works.
I have tried every combo mentioned and a few others along with every button combination, I read it has to do with what rom you were using before the phone -> computer icon. I came from bionix 1.3, I would love any help to get this thing fixed before my wife finds out...
This happened to me earlier today instead pull the battery out and usb then put the battery back in open odin attatch the usb to the computer and then hold down volume up and volume down while plugging the usb to the phone finally and it worked might take a few tries and if odin doesn't recognize the phone unplug the usb and plug it back in if it's already in dl mode
if ur device is hardware locked, ur as well as bricked at this point, i cant get mine out
An easier way to get to download mode that I have been using. Have Odin open. Turn off the phone. Hold volume up and plug in the USB. Goes straight into download mode for me every time. Not sure if this will work with the hardware locked phones (I don't have a hardware locked phone - got it on launch day).

Old thread, I know. Just my 2 cents. I only found this to be true of Odin v1.0 since v1.3 seems quite stable.
If your using odin and it hangs during flashing never pull the usb always pull the battery out first then the cable the phone will stay on when you pull the batterycuz the usb is giving it power but once the usb is pulled the phone is off and you won't be stuck with the dreaded phone !

So this phone has been sitting in my closet for over a month and want to try and find a way to get it back to working. I am pretty sure it happened flashing a euro ROM and it not recovering or I re-partitioned a 2.2 odin ROM (can't remember). I have tried every trick posted on this forum with no luck. Here is the way it boots the second I connect the USB to the phone and/or when trying to do the volume up/down and power button. I can access the phone view adb and tell it to reboot download, but just goes right back to recovery. I even tried pushing the update.zip but no luck as it can't mount e:/.....

Now I remember a link to a Youtube video that actually fixed the vibrant I have now and for the life of me can't find the link. He did something different that the other 10002831 videos showing how to access download mode.
Anybody have advice or is this one truly BRICKED??

Problem is it won't go into download mode.... the second the USB is plugged into the phone it boots into recovery.... I see the battery symbol for maybe a split second and it goes right into recovery; doesn't require any buttons to be pushed.
adb reboot download = reboots into recovery...
Have you tried reinstall packages and then trying to get into download mode?

I had a similar problem once. Here's what worked for me:
Take your battery out
Plug in USB cable
Hold both volume buttons
Put battery back in (while still holding the volume buttons)
I'm pretty sure that was it, but if not try fiddling with those steps a bit. The gist is that you should be holding the volume buttons when the battery goes in, which gets the phone into download mode right away.
Had a similar problem and that seemed to clear it up.

I have tried for a good five hours combined over a two day period and have come to the conclusion the buttons don't do much. The only thing I do know is the up and down are no reversed...
The only thing I don't get is some instructions say to hold the vol down, home, and power. I assume that is only for the EU versions as the home button on the vibrant is a soft key.

Nada... just boots straight to recovery
The only way that i was able to get into download mode was to hold just volume down and power while the phone was off.
So pull battery.
Install battery.
Hold Volume down+Power button.
Then connect usb.
Or you can try to hold volume down+power button+plug in usb at the same time.
I tried every other way of getting into download mode but none worked.
Hope this some how helps you.
So, as long as the USB is plug in, the phone immediate enter recovery? Even when the phone was originally off, then the USB is plugged in later?

Yes, the second the USB is connected it goes straight to that screen in the OP. I don't have the opportunity to hold the vol up/down as it boots instantly (and holding them prior to connecting the USB ends in the same recovery screen)....
I have since bought a new Vibrant but would like to get this one working so it can be sold....
Well I actually FIXED this phone!!!! I followed the below instructions in the past but failed to read it completely...... You must following step 4 to the tee and not press the re-install packages until you are constantly forcing the push from ADB. Needless to say it pushed the update file and then I removed the battery and instantly got into download mode and flashed back to stock.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied..... not sure what you mean by that thx
Try taking out the sim card while entering download mode, that's what did it for me, and don't make any odd facial expressions and keep a good posture. Gremlins...

Hi,
Vol Up + Home + Power = CWM
Vol Down + Home + Power = Download
how did you manage to get into Download Mode without Home Button?
Do you use jig?
What do you exactly want anyway?
*edit*
does anyone see this pic - somehow it is blocked for me lol
greetz
Mr. thx for reply.
I manage into download mode through of CWM.
I select option download mode and reboot.
I need the counter number to execute triangle away.
Umm, sorry what counter number do you need (i really dont get it)
Do you wana flash to Stock before sending it in?
I used to use this for the Triangle & Couter at the beggining:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.triangleaway&hl=de
When you flash Stock counter doesnt increase - but i dont know about the count b4 the stock flash..(omg my grammar)
greetz
Yes i need come back to stock rom.
Its necessary counter # equals in both situations download mode and triangle away.
Can brick the phone if i execute and the number is different.
Ah ok now i get it.. lol never checked if those are equal - lucky me
So you cant see the Counter in Download beacause you only rebooted in Download Mode.. and you wana know if theres a way to get there without Home Button, right? (wow I took my time...)
Well um idk - if you dont dare to use Triangle Away without this check I would just flash the Stock. The Triangle might disappear (did this only once-so..) but i dont know about the Counter, sorry.
*edit*
Is this the first time you flashed a Custom?
So the counter should be 1 LOL
Triangle away never has been wrong for me. I can't see how it would be.
Anyway if he flashes back to stock the triangle will go away but the counter will be there.

So i don't remeber how much rom's i installed before this.
I afraid execute remove counter without know the number.
Do you know other way?
For example bash code echo > something path + file
Anybody, plz?
There is no other way, with no home button.
Just use triangle away, and see what it says....
Triangle visible .... I think it is
Counts = some numbers
Just do it. I have yet to find a single person who bricked because of triangle away.
My charging port broke so similar situation. i had CM9
Flash to STOCK ICS using mobile odin then root it then use triangleaway to remove counter then then use mobile odin to flash ICS again without agreeing to use everroot

But if brick what's necessary to re-live?
I don't have time yet to study the development, but i'll try.
But i think, if i put galaxy s2 like emulator and send commands by eclipse or another ide, like i said i didn't study yet. Can be possible by terminal execute KEYCODE_BUTTON(vol up + vol down + home) to reboot in donwload mode.
I repeat this is just a assumption.

Why don't you use the usb jig method to remove your counter? You don't need to know it and it takes 2 seconds
I don't think there is a way without the home button unless you try ADB to reboot into download mode but I've not came across it on the S2 forums. I use adb to get into recovery for my HTC DHD because the volume buttons are broken.

yes, if you have CWM installed:
open cwm manager > under reboot choose Download mode > use odin to flash official firmware
If you are rooted you can use button savior on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
It will give you a virtual home button

if the home button is not working physically, i would either replace it or take collingall's advice
if you still want to flash official firmware, the third option will be a "usb jig"

''Warning!!
its say something to restore to custom firmaware!
can i install the official firmware like this?or ''maybe LATER 'i must USE home?
Buy a USB jig. Its a dongle which, when plugged into the phone, forces your phone into download mode. From there you can flash any official firmware (via Odin) for your model. You don't need root permissions for it.

OdinOdin is a piece of software that allows us to flash anything we want to the phone. The file is attached to the bottom of this post.
It is perfectly safe IF USED CORRECTLY!
This is a general guide for using Odin, take a look at this picture (thanks to screamworks):
To get Odin to connect to your phone, you need to boot into 'download mode' by pressing volume down, home, and power keys at the same time, and connect your phone to your PC via USB.
Everything in red:
NEVER TOUCH
NEVER TOUCH

1. Just download the firmware version you want
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Should look like this screenshot
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If the package has 3 files it should look like this:
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes.
It will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended

That doesn't sound good.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
What stage does your phone get to when trying to boot up (if you can use a camera to take a picture of it, that'd help out a lot)?
What does the phone say when you try booting into Download Mode or Recovery?

Well, none of those three items are inherently bad.. The "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" is common when using a custom recovery (like twrp). The "set warranty bit : recovery" is, unless I'm mistaken, just telling Knox that your phone has a "not stock" recovery (i.e. setting Knox to 0x1). That is normal when running a custom recovery.
When it is rebooting, can you hold down the power button to turn off the phone completely? Or does it not register the power button long enough to actually do anything?
When you take the battery out and put it back in, does the phone try to start up right away or do you have to press the power button in order to start it up?
Is that literally the only text you're seeing? I get a full debug screen before that information telling me how I restarted the phone (i.e. hard reset vs. soft reset) and if the reset was caused by an error... I caught a screen shot of it down below (sorry for the picture quality, the Asus TF101 isn't well-known for it's camera quality).

Edit: Added less-potato-quality screenshot (still not great, though).
looks like you have the engineering bootloader correct? I would take out your usb plug then take the battery. wait a min or to.put it back in.hold volume down,home button,and power untill the phone vibrates then release the power button while still pressing the volume and home key.

This what I had to then use Odin flash your recovery it worked for me
This happened to me. It it wouldn't boot up into recovery. The blue recovery booting words would come up and all that other stuff but then would quickly go to black screen and boot loop again so I couldn't get into recovery to do a restore or reset and couldn't even just power on the phone. The way I fixed it was 1 pulled battery 2 with battery out held down volume up, home and power button 3 while keeping these held down with one hand inserted battery with other hand. It was tricky but it let me go into down load mode where I re flashed my recovery and fixed the problem. Give it a try and I hope everything works out for you.

Did ya fix it yet? @VansHighTops Just out of curiosity.
Hello, this is my first time posting here. If I should be posting somewhere else, please let me know. I'm having the same exact problem. I have KitKatKiller ROM installed. I opened up ROM manager and it said that my CWM recovery had an update so I updated it (no auto-reboot, I don't know if there should have been one) and then later on I rebooted because I updated xposed framework. Ever since then it has been just boot looping saying its going into recovery and that's it. I've tried all the above suggestions and nothing. Any more ideas?
EDIT: It just randomly started working. Sorry for crying wolf. (Note: It looped for about 30 minutes) Thank you all!
