I have a vibrant and I was rooted my cell phone when the phone's version was 2.1 eclair
I tried to upgrade to 2.2 froyo by official updating
After updating my phone did not show any screen so i tried to return original rom by odin.........
However, odin did not work for the phone... Always stopped when odin tried to install modem.bin.............
And now my phone does not work and even I cannot turn downloading mode or recovery mode........ It is just not work like when the phone's battery is done....
Plz if someone know how to fix it, explain me...........
Not sure what's going on here, but a few more pieces of information might help others figure it out:
First, what ROM were you running? Given the fact that you officially updated, I'm guessing rooted stock? Not sure if this is relevant to your problem, but were you running a lagfix of any kind?
Second, how did you enter Download Mode? Did you select it from a Shutdown menu? Or did you use the Volume buttons while plugging in the phone? EDIT: Forgive my stupidity. You obviously used the buttons, as you entered Download Mode after bricking.
Third, what version of Odin are you using? Did or didn't you select repartition?
Finally, which stock file did you use when restoring?
Take out battery , plug usb into comp. Then while holdin vol up and down plug in usb.

hi
I rooted the phone before I tried to upgrade official update.
And I did not use any custom rom, I just used legfix
And I tried to use T959UVJFD this rom to restore my phone....
and I used odin v1.7
i tried to click or non click repartition both but when I did first trying
I did not check repatition and I used volume down button to join dowloarding mode.
try to Odin with Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick THEN Odin back to stock. Link should be in the Bible thread at the top.
This method has helped me in a brick before.
lol i swear im explainin this second time this issue already today , go hook up your phone to wall cahrger for 5 min , unplug cabole from chsrger and unplug phone from cable hook up cable to computer remove battery from your phone hold vol up vol down hook up usb cable that is already hooked up to computer connect it to phone while still holding vol up vol down bam u got it there if it didnt work hook up phone to wall charger to 10 min instead of 5 trust me i went thru same storry .
i went with every imaginable story of brickin my vibrant lol
i thinkk chance of you brickin that phone to the point that wont ever turn back on is like one in 1000 if not more unles u fried the phone and i dont know id thats possible P
First, make sure you have at least Odin3 v1.3 when attempting this. This version includes a Samsung specific .dll that is required to get a successful load with Odin. Then follow these instructions to flash back to stock.
http://martint.net/2010/how-to-use-odin-to-go-back-to-stock-jfd-2/
from there, just root, install Clockwork Mod Recovery, flash and enjoy.
I used 5 different roms to restore my phone..... but it still stop when odin try to install modem.bin............ I do not understand and very bad.... how can i fix it...
and I tried to find eugene's froyo rom... but I cannot find download link........
plz help me.... I will appreciate every guys......

Then its odin. Try to find an older version. Yep I said that. I run 1.3 still because it works every single time.

I'm just grasping at straws here, but you might try using every version of Odin (as has already been suggested by several posters above). Also, make sure you remove your SIM and sd card. Lastly, run Odin as an administrator. I don't think the admin part is related, but it can't hurt to try.
Look for Eugene's froyo on Android Spin. I DLed it a few days ago.

Okay guys, never let me down before, lets see if you can keep a perfect score
This is not my first time rooting, i've rooted at least 3 phones thus far, and I am trying to root my Samsung Fascinate. I've tried z4root, Superoneclick and adb. None of them took. I believe it may be something with my drivers, but before I get into specifics, let me give you my information:
~~~~PHONE~~~~
Hardware version: I500.04
Model SCH-I500
Firmware: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: SCH-I500.ED05
~~~~COMPUTER~~~~
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
Ok so now that's out there, what am I doing wrong? when I tried z4root 1.3.0, it got the point where it said "acquiring root shell, then the phone vibrated 3 times and the app closed. Super one click, the prompt got stuck on "waiting for phone" ADB, the device won't even show up in the list of devices. I can't seem to find the right drivers anywhere.
It may be important to note that I am using my data cable from my optimus v, and when I plug it in, the micro-usb dongle doesn't go all the way into the port on the fascinate. However, the fascinate gives me the notification that usb mode can be activate and that debugging is on, etc.
I made sure that mock locations, and usb debugging were both on.
Any help?

Ive always used ADB and pushed over the files and such.
However are you going to flash another rom? If so just Odin recovery, flash the rom and be done with it.
I have to have root for that right? My drivers aren't working, is there a way to flash it with out a computer

agreed! If you want a different rom, alot of the steps in that link I posted a not needed. Just odin the proper recovery for the rom you intend on flashing. boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik, then install rom.zip from sd card. reboot and the phone should be rooted.

Downloaded everything in the link, installed drivers, I'm on my friends laptop now, still xp. I got to the step where I have to find CWM3 Voodoo in Odin, and the instructions say that one of the boxes should have turned yellow, but it didn't. I went on ahead and clicked the pda button, but it just said success 0/failure 0. What do I do? Do I have to have vista?
That means odin is not recognizing the phone. Im not sure if odin works with xp or vista... I only use 7 these days. Actually if my memory serves right, odin dont work with xp, don't quote me tho. You could try heimdall but I have no experience with it.
Still can't squire root.I've factory rest 3 times now and still nothing. Can no one help?

as stated in the op, I explicitly said I am using windows xp, media center 2002, service pack 3 to be specific. So your telling me I'm S.O.L.?
first, get a real cable
then, go to official samsung website and install the correct fascinate drivers
download and open odin v3 1.30 (I have xp and it works)
plug in phone in download mode, wait for odin box to turn yellow
pick file in pda
and press start
then just go into cwm via 3 fingers and flash rom

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be doing this but I think you need to slow down and read some more before trying. While this phone is pretty dang hard to brick without physical damage, lacking basic knowledge can put you down got a while if something goes wrong.
A good place to start is the qa stickies. Again I'm not saying don't, just maybe give it another day or two. Really sucks rushing in soft bricking and having to learn after with no phone in the mean time.

Not trying too be an ass or anything but 1.) This is my 5th or 6th time rooting. I have more than basic knowledge. 2.) This is a spare phone I picked up dirt cheap for development. 3.) I checked every place possible trying to find out why my drivers weren't working including q&a.
That aside, I'm trying it on my friends laptop with vista. Wish me luck.

Hello,
Complete Noob here. I'm hopeful that I can get some assistance restoring my phone to a semi-useful function. I've searched these forums, and while I've found some solutions, none of them seem to work when you can get your phone past the initial boot screen when turning on the phone. Here's the story, appreciate it if you can help.
Yesterday I saw that there was an update from Samsung for the vibrant, so I installed Kies Mini on my computer and followed the instructions. It would have been nice if the program would have detected that I was running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 as a Samsung Tech person told me afterward that it wasn't compatible with that version of W7.
When Samsung heard that the screen on my phone showed a picture of a cell phone, with a orange triangle connected to a computer they said I'd need to mail them the phone and wait over a week to get a working phone. I figured I have nothing to lose at this point, and searched for a "do it yourself" solution. I found one click unbrick or something like that, and it went to work, but my phone now is stuck in the initial boot screen for the Vibrant. So all you see is "Vibrant" and "Samsung" on the phone.
I've read several posts about putting the phone into developer or restore mode, pushing combinations of the up/down vol button with the power button, etc., perhaps I'm doing this incorrectly, but nothing seems to get my computer to recognize the phone. I downloaded Odin, and the pit and pda files to start back at Eclair, but odin doesn't detect the device, nor does it have anything listed in the id-com section. I also tried the heimdall one click for the vibrant, but again it can find the device.
Couple of questions -
Can the phone be returned to a working status or should I just return it to Samsung and wait a week for the phone?
Is there any chance that I will be able to recover anything that was on the phone? I expect not, but wonder if so. I backed up my important files, but it would be nice not to have to start from scratch.
sounds like you are able to get your phone into download mode, but odin is not recognizing, which means we have a driver issue. Put your phone into download mode, and then uninstall kies on your computer, then re-install it, this will uninstall and then reinstall the drivers, I have to do this nearly every time I use odin.
Thanks for the quick response. I assume I'll need to do this on an XP machine, and not a 64 bit W7 machine? Plugged the phone into a XP machine, and now the phone is able to get to the downloading... yellow icons. I hope this means I'm making progress
Try the drivers here:

And stay away from Kies. It will murder you're phone.

Okay, thanks for the link. I see what I can do with that. Prior to your post, I got into download mode, download the pit file s1_odin_20100512.pit and the pda file T959UVJI6.tar. Tried to reload things on the phone. The phone now boots to a screen where it says
Android system recover (2e)

Vol down
Power - select items
etc, given the option to reboot, reinstall packages, clear user data, or delete cache

The ji6 Odin file is known for doing that. Pull the battery, get back into download mode, and use these two files in Odin.

Same thing here, but I got it finally by using an ancient version of odin to flash to stock jfd. Kies picked it up right away after that.
That said, now that I have no fear of odin there are no traces of kies left on my pc...
Do you know if those file are located some place else, the link doesn't appear to have either file?
Sorry about that. Didn't realize the links were dead.

Thanks so much. It worked. Now to replace my backup files. No more Kies for me.
Hi, I'm pretty new to Android and stuff, but I bricked my SGP 5.0 with a mod.. At first I was able to go into download mode but then I think I flashed the wrong firmware and now the device is completely unresponsive. Any advice on what to do would be great. I also already checked out all the forums on here but none have been able to work for me. Thanks in advance!
Yup. I was in the same boat as you. Exact same one actually. However i managed to get best buy to to switch mine out because i said it was "defective". I tried the linux tutorial with resurrector and nothing as well. And i also tried.... Well everything. From my thread i posted I gathered that no one (at leasr on xda) knows how to unbrick these damn things. So until these get more popular. Your sunk. Sorry pal:/
try the resurrector.. it's worked for me on a few occasions. it brought mine back from not even being able to turn on.
one thing that's not incredibly obvious with it though is you have to hold "vol up" for download mode while the program is doing its thing. if you don't hold the button it wont work.
Tried it.
I tried that already though and it wouldn't let me unbrick it, but I'll give it another try with what you said about the Vol.+Up keys! Thanks!
I don't have a 4.0 player but my 5.0 player was bricked initially the first time I tried to root... To get it into Download mode you need to hold Vol-(Vol down) button and Power button as the unit is powering up. Hold both for a few seconds until you see the yellow download mode picture.
Good luck
Are you able to get to the download mode? If so I have a simple solution. If not, start a download of Ubuntu to have the proper stuff to fix your problem.
I'm running Ubuntu with the Unbrickable Mod and I have it in download mode and I have virtualmachine installed with windows and sammy drivers but my player wont show up in odin3. Any ideas to get it shwoing?
Either, shutdown VM and see if usb device shows up in windows. If it still does not then unplug usb from pc and then plug it back in, or transfer usb back to host in VM.
I tried that already.. It still doesn't show up in Odin3.
Check device manager for vm drivers for usb and remove them?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Hmmm.... I don't really understand what you mean.. Sorry!
When you attach a usb device to a VM the vm software replaces the drivers of the USB device on the host with virtual drivers that redirects IO from the USB device to guest If the original driver does not get put back in during a detach then IO never goes back to the host.
I know that sounds complicated but I do not know how else to explain it...
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Okay, i fixed that. I have it in download mode, i uploaded the bootloaders that adamoutler has. I uploaded the stock rom you have. Odin3 said pass. But its still in download mode, autoreboot was checked. when i try turning it on, the download screen appears but the icon for download goes all over the screen then stops. Its still recognizeable in odin3 too. Any ways to get this thing going?
My stock rom does not include bootloaders and adam outler's bootloaders are only a temporary solution. What you need to do is flash a full international rom that has bootloaders. Then flash my stock rom to fix the capacitive buttons.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright I see what you mean!! Where can I get a full stock rom though?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. I used to get mine from samfirmware.com but they have recently changed their site. You might try rumirands stock recovery in the dev section. You'll want to open it up and look for files like: boot.bin and Sbl.bin . These are the bootloader files. This will verify that you have a rom with bootloaders in it.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright thanks a lot! Ill try rumirands stock and if that doesnt work ill go to samfirmware.com. Ill be back with the results in a few hours!!
Well Rumirands ROM did not. work. samfirmware.com only has the French and Chinese Rom versions so that doesnt help either. I downloaded a .tar.md5 from here : http://www.4shared.com/file/zhZjh0EY/package_us235tar.html..... Should I flash this by itself or do I need a pit file too?
The language of the ROM does not matter. What matters is that is has the boot loaders. Flashing my Stock ROM over it will fix language and capacitive buttons.
Make sure you have followed AdamOutler's intructions precisely. I don't recall having to use a pit file other than the one in his intructions but if comes to it, it is another troubleshooting point.
Realyy? Hm alright so what your saying is that when I have it in download mode, and with, lets the the chinese firmware, I flash that, turn on my sgp to see if it loads and then put it in download mode again and flash your stock rom, that it might work fine again???
Please friends, help!
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.
I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.
It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.
Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.
I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.
I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.
I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.
I also tryied the same procedure using Odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.83 version. All the same result.
It seems like I miss something. I also tried several procedures I found in other threads none worked for me.
I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.
Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.
Thanks and best regards.
Wanted you to know I saw your post but got a full plate today... If you can get to download mode we should be able to get you fixed up... just give me some time...
Ok, So I've been reading your post and it seems like you've been diligent in looking for fixes. I don't understand this:
"Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40."
Does that mean that installed Ubuntu "natively" or in Virtual box? or have tried both?

Hi, Meticulus.
I've installed Ubuntu so I can run the Unbrickable Ressurector under Ubuntu, then I run a Widows XP version with a VBOX under Ubuntu too to run Odin.
The farest I could go is to make it get into forced Download mode using Resurrector, but It wont turn on after passing in Odin.
Really need your help.

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

Yes, Java looks like the culprit. So I've tried Ubuntu from a live dvd and got Java errors there too.
Then I tried permutations of (jdk07u40, jdk-6u25, and jdk-6u16) with Unbrickable (R36, R37, R38 and R40) on my Slackware 14 machine. They all gave the same error message. Googling that error message gives many millions of results, all highly specialized Java discussions which I don't understand.
The only positive at this point is that UnbrickableResurrector does see the device and starts the process. Then Java dies.
So I'm looking for another angle. I will try Ubuntu again; I've freed up a small partition and I'll install it there. I'm wondering if I need an older version of Java, to match the era when these devices were current. Maybe Resurrector isn't compatible with newer Java jdk??
Any other ideas?

EDIT2: Here is the source code line for your error. http://code.google.com/p/hummingbir...com/AdamOutler/LowLevelUnBrick/Shell.java#191

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

Right, thanks partner.
That's the one I unziped to reach the tar file.
Now Odin is not recognizing the device after running Unbrickable Resurrector and getting SGP into donwloading mode.
I tried to reinstall Samsung drivers using Zadig and it still doesnt recognizes SGP
Any ideas?

Zadig? What is that? Just use the device manager check for missing and non working drivers, you know, typical windows driver troubleshooting....

Ok, will try to have it working.
Zadig is a driver application wich comes along Heimdall
Every time we talk consider to recieve a thank you, even when I forget to write. It's how I feel. I really appreciate to have a partner to dialogue and help to acomplish this mission to bring back SGP to life.
Thanks

Don't use Heimdall, After you get the player into download mode. Take it to Windows and use Odin! If you are using Heimdall for Windows then uninstall it. Then reinstall windows drivers from Samsung or install Kies... Then use Odin.

Hmm... Lets start with why your using the resurrector in the first place...
What condition is your player in right now?
Hello out there. I'm back with good news, kinda. I'm now in the position of the original poster. I have a totally dead un-responsive do-nothing black box, BUT I am able to use the Resurrector and then Odin and I can successfully flash a pit, a bootloader and a rom. But then the Galaxy does not reboot.
This still feels like progress, since I couldn't even use the Resurrector a few days ago. I finally had to install Ubuntu Desktop on my machine. The Resurrector wouldn't run from Slackware or even from a Ubuntu live DVD.
So it looks like the sticking point for both the OP and I is the reboot.
Any further ideas are welcomed. Thanks for your interest.
Daniel

Well, I did exactly what you said and did it using the same Odin version 1.81 and I got surprised when I saw Samsung Logo aparing but it got stocked on this screen for several minutes so I decided to unplug the USB cable and try to turn if off and on again. It still got stucked into the screen with Samsung logo and after about 5 minutes it turned off and will not turns on.
What to do know?
I think it might be to got out of battery but dont know what do next.
Remebering that my SGP is International version with Physical Home button.
Wait for guidance to next steps
Thanks a

I charged the battery for a while and was able to get it into download mode. I'm very happy with that but would like to know the exact steps I have to follow to bring it back to life now cause I really dont want to loose it again.
Thank you
