Issue corrected: how: I opened Odin on my desktop, unplugged my USB cord from my pc, removed my battery from my phone along with my sim card and sd card: I then placed the USB into my phone (not pc yet), pressed and held the up down toggled (both ends pressed in), placed the other end of the usb into my pc, placed my battery into my phone and all this is done while still holding the up down volume toggle.. (do not press the power button at all) I was placed into download mode!!!!! I selected the pit file (s1_odin_20100512.pit), checked PDA box, clicked on PDA and added T959UVJFD.tar, pressed start, allowed odin to say pass and vibrant started to reboot: My phone cut off again after i removed the USB because the battery was really dead but i placed it on the real charger and the charging indicator actually showed I'm not booted on stock 2.1 for now.
Thanks to those who truly attempted to help me!
I also understand that there may not be a way to actually brick this device lol
PROBLEM BEFORE FIX
I'm really not a noob but I did something unusual. Coming from eugene 2.2 rom I tried to use Odin to flash back to j16 but it said E DEVBLOCK AND somehing else. However I was following some tatorial that said flash the pit file only and select repartition and allow it to work and say pass then pull the battery. Well I did that and now my phone won't come on period. Not at all like the battery is dead and won't recharge. I tried hooking it up to the pc but nothing. Not even a charge indicator. Somehow today I got a black screen to show with red letters... But it won't come back on period. Is this a true brick? Please help me out.

Wow u think I need sarcasm right now? Nope
Can you get the phone into downlode mode?
If plugging it into a charger doesn't do anything and your PC doesn't recognize your phone you might have created the first true Galaxy-S phone brick.
You do have Samsung drivers on your PC right!? And you could also try making a Jig I guess, but if your phone isn't even recognized by your PC your basically screwed. Don't pay attention to 2nd poster, he's just trying to act cool.

Well, I did it. I messed up my phone (like the other people that I usually laugh at!).
I was updating Simply Honey and during the "rainbow" something got messed up.
My Mac and PC wont recognize my phone (Odin or Heimdall). My phone is in DOWNLOAD mode. I don't think USB DEBUGGING is on.
I cannot get my phone into recovery either.
I have been working on this for a couple days now, but have not found a solution. I am hoping someone can give me some direction.
I attached a screen shot.
Thanks!
I had to download i9000 drivers. When had this prob hem never worked had to use Odin. Drivers can be found if Google i9000 drivers.

turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
I got it to work today! You guys were right. I simply needed the proper drivers. I used a better PC today and it actually auto-installed the right drivers when I connected the phone.
Why cant Macs do stuff like that? Oh well.
I started out with stock Froyo-JFD then installed Simply Honey ROM along with the GB bootloader. Its all good now! Thanks for the support and encouragement!
So a little history, I flashed my vibrant from Bionix v1.3.1 (fishmanmod) to ICS and started to have a lot of troubles with random restarts and battery issues. Prior to ICS everything was perfect. I've tried so many different versions of ICS and all of them have resulted in random shut downs. The most recent one I tried was Slim ICS. After having such bad luck with ICS roms I decided to go back to Bionix. However my phone now cannot be recognized by my computer which was weird because it did when I flashed it back to stock to install ICS cleanly. I tried various different drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled kies, almost everything I thought of. So then I was like okay, I'll just go back to a nandroid backup of Bionix. Stupid idea, should have read up more on that as it softbricked my phone. Now I'm stuck with a phone that stays on the Vibrant screen. I can get it into download mode with holding vol+ and power but that is no use because windows keeps saying it cannot recognize my device. I can't get it to recovery mode either to flash any roms I have on the phone. It might be a hardware issue because my mothers vibrant gets detected with the same drivers but just a couple of days ago I flashed my phone back to stock with odin which really confuses me. Does anyone have any ideas I could do? Is there a way to get into recovery mode to flash different roms? Is there a manual way of installing the drivers or surefire way of knowing if the vibrant has hardware issues?
Also when I flashed back to stock with odin it did take a good hour of installing and reinstalling drivers for my computer to recognize it in download mode. I've tried 3 different cables, one by samsung and the other two are third party. All these cables work on my mother's vibrant. I've also tried a different computer as well, no luck.
Try deleting ALL USB drivers from your PC and plug in the phone. It should automatically search and download drivers. If that doesn't work then its most likely something to do with the USB cable. I recently soft bricked my vibrant too and my USB would not work at all but it worked fine on a friends phone(weird). So I bought a new one from T-Mobile themselves and it worked! I was really close to believing I had a bad USB port on my phone,if a new cable doesn't work that could be the issue for you. There are a few places online that will replace your USB port on the phone for around 40 bucks, a new USB cable from T-Mobile will cost around $15.
PS: You can search ADB reboot recovery but this will not work unless you can connect to the PC. I personally would buy a new cable from T-Mobile just to know if its a bad USB port on your phone.

Yeah I've read in another post about how someone bought a replacement cable from T-Mobile which fixed the problem. I find it weird how the stock samsung cable does not work yet the T-Mobile cable did. What makes the 15 dollar T-Mobile cable better? I'll definitely give it a shot though.

I'm not sure what makes it better to be honest, it's just one of those things where their cables work better. It is most definitely more durable than the stock cable that came with my phone. If you have a problem with Tmobile's USB cable not working then you most likely have a bad port on your phone(happens more than you might think). I feel like a new cable will solve your problem tho, let us know if it works!

So I bought the T-Mobile universal data cable in store for 12.99 and turns out it did not work. That's okay, they told me I could return in within 30 days to get a full refund. Now my only hope is to send it to someone who could repair it.
The phone can go into download mode, so hopefully once this usb port gets fixed I can finally get into odin. Thanks iTz KeeFy for the suggestion to try a different cable.

Im trying to upgrade my samsung galaxy s2 (SGH-I777). I connect my phone using the Samsung Kies program. The installation goes all the way to the part where my phones screen has the android and it says "firmware upgrade i process..do not disconnect from target." it stays at 0% then i get the error saying "pc failed to recognise the mobile phone". Ive re installed drivers, used different cable used different port and still get the same error. please help.
Sounds like the part of the driver that recognizes download mode isn't installed at all or correctly. What I would do is close KIES, restart both phone and computer. now put the phone in download mode by holding vol up & vol down while plugging in usb cable. when you get warning screen press vol up to get to download mode. let the computer install the driver (don't open KIES yet)
after all of it is done, restart again and start from beginning - open KIES, connect phone, update to LE5
It's not all it's cracked up to be. I did it just out of curiousity but soon left it for custom roms again.

two questions:
1. are you holding the buttons down until you see something on the screen? hold both buttons down, insert usb cable (other end plugged into computer), hold buttons until you see text on the screen, then release.
2. no offense, but you do have the i777, right? so many people come here to the i777 forum but actually have the i727 Skyrocket, or something else.

I would try a custom ROM for sure. I just came from an iPhone 4 and loading AOKP on my i777 was a breeze. I never messed with whatever was on it before so I wouldnt know. Im not sure if there is a one click stock ROM you could flash with odin. Does odin even recognize your phone? If not full uninstall of kies and reinstall and be sure that you have the samsung drivers installed, which you said you have done time and again.
But really though, check out the Task and Ktoonsez AOKP rom, if you dont like there are several to choose from. and then there is this galaxys2root.com website. That has a whole bunch of youtube ROM reviews. Im still learning, but willing to help out a fellow noob. Good luck and update us on whats happening

@ pichienyfl - What OS do you have on your computer? Windows XP/Vista/7? Mac OS? Linux?
I agreed with Phalanx7621 that it is not your phone (at this point). Especially if you have Windows 7, you will have to install the right driver for it. Or it will not work correctly.
My I777 has been acting up lately, and now I'm out of options and wondering what my next move should be.
For several days when I'd connect the phone to the PC via USB, it started saying "this device can perform faster when on a USB 2.0 port..." - which, my ports ARE 2.0.. transfers were taking forever. Now, anytime I plug it in it simply says "USB Device not recognized" - I've tried the OEM cable, the plethora of other cables, 4 different PC's... *ALL* have the same result.
My concern is with a custom ROM on it and no way to get any PC to recognize the phone to get it back to root - how should I proceed from here for warranty purposes? I've only had it since March - just wondering what's gonna happen at this point - or is this even fixable? All the threads I've seen say it needs replaced... but with no way to unroot, etc., I'm just unsure how this is gonna go.
Thanks for any advice.

This is a situation that's been coming over a period of time, starting with the inability to see it as a USB 2.0 device when initially plugged in, and now has deteriorated to the point that it can't even be seen.

Yeah, I sure did - nothing. Even in recovery, it won't "mount" usb there either.
Samsung's have a crappy USB port. It fails sometimes. You have a hard time charging at all?
But like I stated above, even without a computer connection you can get Mobile Odin and flash back to stock, as long as your rooted.
I'm having this same issue. I just got the phone earlier this week and I am unable to get bit connected to my pc to root or Odin. I have installed and uninstalled Kies multiple times on two different computers, tries different ports, and checked if the cable worked by using another phone (PC recognized without an issue). I get the USB not recognized or the 2.0 USB message. If I enable debugging, I can connect regularly and transfer files through windows explorer. But if I use USB debugging off, then nothing will work. I've tried using odin and it will just get stuck at setup connection or cache.img and then I'd have to pull the device. I've tries updating through Kies when it shows the USB 2.0 message but once the S2 hits download mode then the computer stops recognizing it. I have also tried installing the i777 drovers on the Samsung website and its still a no go. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its not rooted so mobile Odin won't help me now.

It is the OEM cable that came with my Samsung Infuse. It worked with the T989 3 days ago and it's not working with my i777. Its strange because I tried it with my infuse again and I am able to Odin just fine. Could it really be an issue with my USB or will it be a PCB issue? I would rather or not disassemble my phone if it is a PCB issue. Should be able to do a warranty exchange though.

I hate to break it to you brother but it's damn near impossible to determine what the actual culprit could be, your best best is to try each and every single different thing I've listed. The end result being changing the PCB which one, isn't that hard, and two, is very cheap the only problem is waiting for the board to come in the mail.

Its strange because when I enable USB debugging, I can get a "USB connection" on the phone and data transfers fine. But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

But when I turn it off, I get a "MTP connection" and sometimes it'll connect (5% of the time) and allow me to transfer data. But when lies tries to update when that mtp connection is active, it'll hang when the phone goes into download mode. Did you have this same issue?

I f you're able to transfer files via mass storage with USB debugging enabled then you can (most likely) rule out hardware failure on your phone.
If anything this sounds like a driver issue on the cpmputer. Are you running windows? If so remove and reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Still think its hardware.
I can connect 1/100 of the times I'm plugged into a computer. Its not a driver issue because my girlfriend has an i777 as well and no problems for her connecting at all.
Its not ROM related because I have this problem with all ROMs.

Does that apply to ums as well? From his description he can connect in ums just fine. Its only mtp that's giving him problems. In his case, with the problem only being in one connection mode, it leads me to think drivers. In your case, tested against another s2 I'd say hardware.
Just tried using a Motorola cable and a third PC and my chances of connection increased to about 15-20%. Kies and Odin failed on me a few times just like I had described before. But eventually Odin was able to flash okay. Finally on ICS on my i777! I think I'll stay on stock since I'd rather not go USB and PC hunting to flash stock if anything goes wrong.
