Kies and its child processes must be stopped. USB mode doesn't matter for Odin. Phone must be in download mode (DM) - you switch off the phone, then press and hold volume down+menu+power buton simultaneousely, a warning will appear, then you confirm it by pressing volume up, voila you're in.

Feel a bit of a tit did everything but press up spent 2 days mucking about with phone and reading forums and it was just me

[Q] Jacked Up My Vibrant

First Hello All,
I don't post much I mostly lurk and read. I have seemed to totally Brick my phone. . In DL mode Odin doesn't recognize my phone this is after multiple times of reinstalling the drivers via Kies. I seem to no longer be able to get into recovery mode either. Not sure what the heck I did but it seems bad. Any help would be much appreciated.
In general, stay away from Kies.
Look in the Noob guide there are a number of ways to get in download mode or recovery mode.
I am assuming you have the phone rooted and either are trying to load or reload custom software.
here are couple of the ways:
Dl mode = vol up + home + power
Recovery = vol down + home + power.
Pull battery plug usb (already plugged into the computer), hold button combo and insert battery
There are variants of these (like do the above a tap home quickly while holding down buttons) they are in the Noob guide as well.
Good luck, this should be easy to fix
Thx. I will give the above a try. I'v been trying everything under the sun. If I can get into recovery I think I will be good.
Thx again.

Is your phone actually entering download mode? If so it's saveable and you are experiencing a driver related issue. Re-install the drivers then search for ODIN 1.82 and YouTube the ODIN video I have made to help you use it. If it's not powering on, I can still fix it as well with JTAG!
I can get into DL mode. I have reinstalled the drivers multiple times with the same result. Windows just won't pick up the phone. I used to be able to get into Recovery easy now seems I can't at all.
Try another machine. The only thing it can be if you are still unable to get it picked up on another machine is a form of brick that effects the USB port (I've never seen that) or your port is dead itself or atleast the data transfer pins (1 or both) are jacked up.
After finally getting back into DL Mode I get the same USB Malfunction error on 3 different PC's. This is weird at this point I have uninstalled and reinstalled all types of drivers from ( Vibrant to SGS II ) still nothing.

[Q] Can't Get into Vibrant Download/Recovery Mode

Help Guys i have a paperweight!
My samsung vibrant is totally bricked! I have tried many different meathods and all do not work at all. I even bought a jig off ebay! That doesn't even put it into download mode.
Please help!
Can someone please make my paperweight work again?
I was flashing a new baseband on the phone when Odin stalled for some reason. I accidentally disconnected my phone and now stuck on the phon!computer screen only!
Hi...
I had a similar situation with my phone.
When you get the "phon!computer screen" you should only connect the cable and start the flash with odin....
Try this and you could solve your problem...
i did it doesn't do anything!
When you have odin open, usb in the pc connected.... when you connect to phone while holding both volume buttons, does odin show a COM #?
if so, you should be okay... from that screen you can use odin.
well try this with phone off 1.take out battery 2.hold volume up and volume down together 3. while holding buttons down put battery back in 4.still holding buttons plug usb into it and should be in download mode .see if this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqxearzXrVY here's a video might help to see it done
so i just got pissed and used odin3 and checked repartition and somehow after it failed. I pluged the phone in again and this time it finally went to download mode. Thanks everyon problem solved.
good to here

Flashed Wrong Recovery - CWM and Download mode don't work

I tried to Unroot my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE last night and think I may have bricked my tablet. I used the instructions here on the XDA forum which had a link to all the Stock ROM's in one place. I got the most recent one and the only one for USA but it said it was for the model 7510. I didn't think that would be a problem since the USB drivers I installed on my PC were also labeled as being for the 7510 and they worked.
This tablet is the SCH-I905. Now I can't get it to boot at all. Gets stuck in a boot loop. Shows the Samsung logo, then resets and does it again. I can't get it in recovery mode either. Goes to a black screen and hangs.
Using the normal process to get to Download mode doesn't work. Holding Power and Volume Up, then letting go of the Power button, then pressing Volume Down and then Up. That's one weird thing. I can get to the option screen that shows the Download and Recovery mode options. Normally I would hit the Volume Down button to select Download mode and on the screen it says to press Volume Up to continue or Volume Down to cancel. If I press Volume Up it goes to a black screen and hangs. If I press Volume Down I get the Odin Download screen that says Waiting on USB cable.
That screen doesn't look the same as what I normally see but I'm not sure what's different. I didn't memorize each line of text. I just know there's not as much text there as there usually is. My PC will not recognize the tablet no matter which USB port I try to use and the tablet doesn't recognize that the USB cable is plugged in. I had no problem with the USB connection before I flashed the 7510 stock ROM.
So, if I cannot get to recovery mode and I can't get Download mode to work so I can use Odin to flash a different rom then is this thing bricked or is there something else I can try? I am about to try using my laptop and its USB ports but I don't think that's going to make any difference.
BTW, I have since found the correct 'stock recovery rom' at droidbasement.com and downloaded it to my PC. I just need to get on the tablet somehow.
Many people have your problem. I have my Lte verizon bricked as yours. The problem is demaged bootloader, only nvflash can fix it but actually our bootloader is locked and we need a hex key called sbk. At least we have to wait that somebody hack our tab from the basement. For now we can only search and share result.

Galaxys3 T999 wont turn on,connect to pc

Yesterday i rooted and tried to install a Rom and used Rom manager to go into recovery mode. I thought you had to do the down+home+power and now when I try to do anything it wont work power button 20 sec , power+home , up/down+power+home,nothing.When i tried plug it into the computer it makes that sound when something failed to connect to the pc. When i tried holding the power button i hear the sound of the device successfully connect to the pc but when i look theres no phone on the computer and when i let go of the power button it stops. Any help would be very much appreciated and i will never do anything to risk my device being broken again... :crying:

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 ROM Installed but really bricked

Hi everyone,
Just joined the XDA Developers group to get some expert opinion from the Gurus here.
I have been using the ROMs to upgrade my many android phones successfully in the past from Motorola Cliq, to Orange San Francisco to my Galaxy S2 to now Galaxy Tab P1000.
The trouble came when I thought of upgrading my wife's Samsung Galaxy S2, and I will be dammed if I cant fix her phone.
The phone was on Android 2.3.6 before I tried my hands on it.
I downloaded an ICS ROM (I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 from dont know where) and used Odin v1.85 to flash the phone. Everything went well until the phone rebooted.
After the reboot the phone entered the OS, but now I have no home screen except the status bar on top which I can pull down. The status bar is fully functional i.e. it shows that its connected to wifi, shows its on Silent mode, shows the right time, and battery and also the USB connected icon when I plug in the USB.
The trouble is I cant do anything else as there is nothing else in display, I cant switch to apps screen and therefore I cant get on to Settings or Google Play to install any apps to reboot into recovery mode.
The worst part is that the phone now doesnt go to download or recovery mode, whatever I try (volume up/down, with or without home key pressed, with and without USB cable plugged in etc).
All I can do is to connect the phone using USB and transfer from and to files to it.
Can someone help me to understand how to recover this phone, and if there is any other way to go to download or recovery mode without using any key combinations? or if I can remotely run the apps from a PC using a USB cable? Samusng Kies does seem to recongise the phone, but I have been unsuccessful in using "Emergency Firmware Recovery" or "Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation" so far on the phone.
Any help will really save my time to continue my research on other home projects to keep my lovely wife happy :silly:
1-download stock firmware from sammobile.com
2-go to download mode - vol down+home+power button at the same time
3-start odin and put firmware to pda collum, dont touch anything else on odin
4-conect usb to pc
5-flash firmware
Mistahbungle can come over to your house with a usb jig and fix your phone and your wife can thank him personally....
yeh you need usb jig. as you cannot go to download mode also... hope you got your lunch and dinner
