hello??????
that's your problem. did you read the instructions?
Just keep trying, try heimdell then Odin, then heimdell, over and over again. These phones are hard to hurt.
Try using the wall charger holding volume down, like you would with the computer to get into download mode. Report back.
Sent telepathically.
Yeah, for most purposes, you're going to be using PDA in Odin exclusively.
always always always use PDA. Never phone. period.

Since you have the battery out, having auto-reboot doesn't need to be checked.

I been trying to reflash my Vibrant to stock through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
how i kept getting this continuous circle thing instead of rebooting. I searched online and some forums talked about going into CNW recovery and then rewipe. However I can't seem to do that, after Odin (unclick reboot) I will push the 3 buttons (volume up, power, menu) and it would flash a disfigured download mode over and over again.
I am stuck, please help me out! I have attached two photos. I can still get into download mode without any issue.
What bootloader do you have running?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
Bootloader? Sorry I don't know what that is... I only followed the guide...
I am a Noob, a huge uneducated Noob.
Are you going back to stock from ics? When you odin make sure re-partition is checked auto reboot is checked and use the 512 pit file as well as the stock image...
If you were on Ginger bread bootloaders you would only be pressing volume up and power to get into download mode...
When odin is done do you get a green pass! In the top left corner? It should state 1/pass 0 fail

I am going from Ginger bread back to Froyo. I tried to root it in GB and didn't work, it stopped receiving signal connection ...
Yes I mean up volume + power + menu for recovery.
Yes, all three are clicked and it always gives me that white circle loop in the attached image above.
Not sure what gb rom you could have possibly flashed that wouldn't already be rooted... can u get back to download mode from that circle?

If you can get back into download mode, download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?2qq3muxzj4gw7ib
I have never seen that stock link before, not too sure what that is, but the link I posted is a clean 2.2 rom...use the 512 pit and put that(link) into the PDA
just PIT and PDA and make sure all three are checked...
yup goes to download perfectly
I have attached a screenshot of what I am doing in Odin if that helps.
Your signature is Canada Rogers...do you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 vibrant?
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
you're using odin 3...not sure if this could be an issue or not, but search for Odin 1.7...use that
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also, from that screen shot, your 512 pit file is in your internet/temp directory...it could be gone after you close your browser....you need these files in a dedicated place like your desktop or something, not in an internet cache folder...when you hit start, did you see a progress bar and see things happening? it takes about 2-5 minutes for the stock firmware to be transferred to your phone
>< I am sorry! When I was searching for help I just saw Vibrant and thought that it would be it. I just noticed there is another thread for it.
I have a Samsung S Vibrant i9000M ... originally from Bell, but it was unlock when i got it... Would I be able to request a move to that forum?
But the procedure would still be the same right? I just flashed it (attached photo). It is saved in my internet temp file but it is physically there, I just named that file for all my internet downloads.
Sorry I am such an idiot. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I'll try using that first and let you know!

I have a rooted Australian Galaxy s iii i9300 running stock android 4.0.4 and Siyah Kernel V.1.5.3, both of which I flashed about 3 weeks ago.
My phone has been running perfectly, last night before going to bed I plugged my phone into the charger as usual. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I didn't alter any settings or install anything new and it has been weeks since I've flashed anything. I woke up this morning to see my phone stuck on the 'Galaxy S iii' logo screen as if it had automatically rebooted itself during the night and got stuck. I've tried removing the battery and turning it back on several times but it just keeps getting stuck on the logo screen. I can't enter clockwork recovery mod but I can still enter download mode.
Is my phone bricked?
How did this happen when I didn't even do anything?
What should I do?
Should I try re-flashing the stock ics rom?
Re-root
Try re-rooting it with Odin (from Download Mode), then you might be able to go into Recovery Mode.
Have you recently installed any app? Coz there must be a reason for this to happen.
If the above comment does not work, next step would be to order a jig to force it into download mode.

I can't even get into normal recovery mode, so I'm not sure re-rooting will help (I'll still give it a try though). Assuming it does work, what should I do once I get into Clockwork recovery?

Did you flash the Stock Rom via Odin with 1 part file? You should try it with 3 part File Stock Rom and flash via Odin.

Thanks for the reply. Where can I find the 3 part file version of the stock Rom? Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for flashing 3 part files with Odin? I'm only familiar with flashing a single tar file.
Seems as if this becomes a common problem, since this is like the 1001st thread about a S3 shutting down while on charge and not being able to reboot.

Really? I did a quick search before posting this, sorry for the repost. Did anyone come up with a solution in previous threads?
I've searched and searched but I still can't find the 3 file firmware. I don't even know what I'm looking for really. Can someone please link me to a 3 part Rom compatible with my phone?
While my search for similar problems before creating this thread yielded very few results, I have since found the other threads Ch0ka was referring to by searching 'There is no PIT partition'. It seems that if flashing a three part file and repartitioning with Odin doesn't work, the general consensus is that I'll have to send it to a service center for repair. Haven't I voided the warranty on my phone by rooting it? will they be able to tell I've rooted it or is it damaged beyond that point? I really can't afford to be paying for repairs right now.
I'm so upset, I still don't understand how my phone could just brick itself overnight! Could someone please give me some advice?

Sorry, I know this seems like a stupid question but I've never used a 3 part Rom before, I have no idea what I'm doing. Isn't it really important to use the right PIT file?

I cannot reach the setting to do a factory reset. My UI doesnt start and the button combo doesnt take me to a menu were i can factory reset the device.
What other way is there, trough odin maybe??
I need some serious help. I have no idea what's going on. I was coming from CR se 3.1 to Jellybeans 20 so I decided to do a data wipe and clear everything and then my phone wouldn't turn on. I couldn't even access recovery. I gave up and decided to do a clean Odin restore with the root 66 stock system md5 and new pit file but I no longer have a recovery installed. I was going to do the casual root again but my phome will not connect to any computer. When I connect it just charges I don't get a new device found or anything. I tried connect it to another computer too and it just did the same thing. All I need is for my phone to connect to my computer so I can restore it to default, install a recovery/root, and install jelly beans. But nothing is corresponding with me. Please someone help me. I'm really desperate for some help right now. Please. I'm freaking out. I don't know what to do. Anything is appreciated. If there's any way you can pm me so we can chat that would be cool too. I'm just freaking out and have been for the past 4 hours.
When did you root your phone? If you originally used casual on the old baseband then flashed roms on the vramc3 modem you need to update casual to the one that unlocks the new modem. I don't see how you could've bricked the phone like that though. Does anything show up on the screen when you try to boot into recovery?
hmmm did you try doing a full odin back to stock and locked?

The modem has nothing to do with rooting, unlocking, or anything of that nature. I believe you are referring to the firmware version correct?

i have a note edge from sprint, it is a friend of mines. Who by the way didnt listen to me and let me do it to begin with.
the phone when powered on is stuck at
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
He did not get to install TWRP on the device.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of how maybe i can get this to work. i have tried the Kies software but it keeps saying that it is not connected.
Also, i have not seen anywhere that uses Odin, is this because of the Sprint version.

What does this mean? You can use Odin for basically everything on this phone.
Well, you can't use it to make that worthless edge screen become something of value. You can't do that with Odin.
But Odin will do what you need. Power button, home button, and volume up button, all pushed at the same time, will give you the option to put the phone into Download mode and you can go Odin from there.

Had similar issue, with the Edge in this situation. There is no obvious "download" screen when this happens because all you will get is that message.
1 Ignore Kies, wont help you
2. download the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...alaxy-note-edge-stock-5-1-1-firmware-t3162245 (and thank the OP for posting it!)
3.Get Odin if dont have it already.
4. get phone to where it says "try again" and hook to computer
5. Flash the stock Rom via oden. Once you hit start in Odin you will, hopefully, see the download happen on the edge screen
I am assuming you know how to work Odin, if not, check out the several walk-throughs. The big thing is that, in this situation, error message screen IS the download screen at that point.

I'm a huge noobie with this, but what is the difference between a T-Lock and a Flash Lock? Also, there isn't anything to check besides the default and the flash options right? Thank you, my root didn't go all the way thru so I'm trying to revert it to the un-rooted version.
[Edit]
So, I put the file in the AP area and started it. Then I get a red button that says "fail". I'm using the model and service provider but I'm not sure whats wrong, The only thing that I think could be not allowing me to unroot my phone is the flash lock, unless, I need more files for the Bl, Cp, CSC..
