Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile. First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone. So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087. As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way. So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock. After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore. Now I don't know what to do. It won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.
I just got bricked too...Went to update my vibrant that was on eclair still...Try to update to froyo on Samsung Kies Mini...download went fine...then when finished...it wouldnt turn on....just ordered a JIG....should be here Tuesday...http://www.amazon.com/SainSmart-Don...73JQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321751047&sr=8-1
and yes...my family on XDA...i tried every finger combination to try to get to download mode...Sitting outside waiting for ups as we speak...
You might need to look into a jtag, I wouldnt give up getting into download even if the screen is black. Some members have had sucess by pulling the battery, sim card and letting the vibrant settle for an hour or so. reset in odin and keep trying, your phone wont respond but odin may recognize it by the yellow com bubble.
im guessing u've tried this:

also read post #5 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352334
be sure u understand what he says: he's basically just pretending the screen doesnt work and holding the buttons for the amount of time it would take to enter download mode. even tho the screen never responds, odin will suddenly recognize the phone. u can tell when this happens cuz that box in odin turns yellow. then flash JFD like normal or whatever ur gonna do.
good luck
Thanks for replying everyone.
Sugartibbs : I've been working on this all day. Yea, I definitely can't get it to work on odin. It's not being recognized at all. where can i get a jtag?
crypkilla : Yea I definately tried those two things already. I've searched all over the forum. I think it's time to take it in..... LOL. Is there a difference between the two models T959UV vs. T959V, in terms of the stock rom I was originally suppose to use?
that's a bummer.
i havent had a completely unresponsive phone before, but ive thought ive been pretty screwed a few times and the only other thing i know is that ive read people say that they've tried the same thing a hundred times and on the hundred and first time it worked and that's been my experience.
be sure and post if u do get lucky and fix it.

You flashed wrong ROM and you're in wrong forum.
T-mobile Vibrant is T959
T-mobile Galaxy S 4G is T959V
T959UV is just a baseband not model number.

My problem is that I had no idea that i9000 and Fascinate are complete diffrent firmwares. I flashed the 2.2 i9000 onto my Fascinate, I didn't find out this was a huge FUBAR until after the phone wasn't turning on and then I did some extensive searching. So now flashed the CWMRecovery and then the Stock-i500 files. Except for the Recovery file which fails when I try to run it on Odin... I'm completely lost. If anyone knows if it's possible to fix my phone, I would appreciate the help
its bricked. is it still under warranty? tell them it froze and wont turn on. are u stuck in a boot loop?
It was.. it would try to boot up into i9000 then the regular Samsung logo and then I'd get a blue pixelated mess... now when I hit the power buitton there's a cell phone and PC picture with a triangled exclamation mark in the center.

Sounds like it wants to be hooked back up, like it's not out of download mode. That's happened to me when I've unplugged the USB cable when it wasn't expecting me to. Dunno, there is a thread here somewhere about flashing the wrong image, then flashing an intermediary image, then the VZW image and getting things back. Not sure if it applies here, though... Good luck...
Boot in Download mode again
Dont Use Samsung MicroUSB Cable use any Good Quality MicroUSB instead
Flash the Clockwory Kernal and Recovery using ODIN
Copy ClockworkMod Recovery in update.zip format to SDCard
Boot into Recovery in Default Samsung Recovery Apply Update this will take you to clockwork
Flash any Compatible Clean ROM and you are in business,For me this Worked
You see the cable / triangle icon, it means your flash failed to take, and was incomplete. You need to re-flash, start with the kernel. I would use the CWM kernel as mentioned. If that fails let us know.
The only real thing you can do to "brick" this phone is to overwrite bml12 (modem.bin). For example, if you flashed anything with the "phone" box in odin, that will kill your modem. Other than that it will take a little work, but it's all recoverable.
Ok. For one, i have posted warnings all over the place to not do what you did.
And two, if what you flashed an Odin restore file with a modem in it, you will no longer have a working phone. We don't have a way to fix it. Sorry dude, best bet is to take it back to verizon and beg for a warranty replacement. If you are at the phone and computer icon right now, i would just leave it and take it into vzw like that.

Yeah. Problem is this isn't the first site I went to. There were no warnings in the other guides... Just said "Upgrade Galaxy S to 2.2" It never mentioned it was only for the i9000 model... I've learned my lesson tho. Luckily my buddy works at Verizon and I don't have to jump through rings of fire to get a replacement. Thanks everyone

Yeah, like put it in a microwave. Which I'm going to do with you shortly if you keep it up. I can always cancel that $97 during my free trial, you know..
OK so I was out and droped my phone , it froze and I couldnt unlock it. I took the battery out and it would get stuck on the screen that says samsung. I looked all over the internet and found a way that should have fixed it. All it did was take my verizon phone and put at&t on it and so now all it does is load up a white at&t screen. I cant get it to go into downloading mode by holding the volume buttons what do I do now. I had previously rooted it, and as such the warrentys void but I figured that if I ever needed to fix it Id factory reset it but I cant even do that so I assume I am screwed.
What possessed you to flash AT&T firmware to a VZW phone? If you can't get into Download Mode, you are stuck with a paperweight unless you have insurance.
It wasnt oh im going to test fate it was more of a google how to fix and thats what came up and so after trying and trying and trying to get it to work it did at%t I didnt know it was at&t till it was too late I thought it was verizon because thats what I searched for. What are all the ways to get into the different modes? all the phone will do its show the screen and then shut off boot again then shut off and so on so forth. If I unplug the usb while the battery is it will boot up.
For fascinate, take battery out, plug phone to usb and hold down the down volume button. But since you flashed a captivate recovery I'm not sure if that will still work.
I honestly hate to say it, but I'm pretty sure you're ****ed. Bricked. If you can't get into Download Mode, there isn't anything you can do. If you hadn't flashed the wrong ROM, I'd say you might have been able to boot into CWM and reflash whatever ROM you had (if you still had it on your SD card). My advice, try to get it exchanged.
**** I figured I hate that it put at&t on it I hate at&t thanks for the help guys.
Will the Heimdall trick not work for this like it does for fixing an i9000 flash?

you are really not giving a lot of details here...all you are saying you tried installing a rom and then it froze halfway..
Are you rooted firstly?
If you are have you flashed CF-root kernel?
How did you try to install the rom?
More info and then more people can help you out buddy..see if you can get into recovery and restart your phone.
well... if you've tried "every" (its not like there are a lot) button combination... then just go buy a jig from ebay and force it into download mode...

Nothing from what you said would help..
He obviously flashed it with Odin, and he said he's getting a yellow triangle with a computer behind it..
From what I understood, he could get into download mode.
So just boot into download mode and flash stock ROM. That should do it.

anyone else seeing an increase in the "i bricked my phone" threads?
dont think its coincidence they are increasing after the american variants have been released. People need to check what model they have before flashing things.
OP: not saying thats what has happened to you as you dont say if you have the i9100 or not, hopefully you do.

its ok and same goes by my post as well buddy..we all been in his position one way or the other
1st - Your phone is not bricked if it show an image. Whatever image it is. The only real software way to brick your phone is to flash bad bootloader or stop a bootloader while they are being flashed. However, Bootloader are flashed first. So if your phone stoped half way, you should not have trouble too much.
Remove the battery from your phone for like a minute, then reboot your phone in download mode (vol- + home + power and when the phone light up, release power.) Then flash another rom from odin.
Also, what rom did you used ? If you flashed a rom for another phone, then you might have flashed bootloader for that phone on yours, which is bad. In this case you will surely need a JIG.
sorry im new to this whole rooting/flashing thing. i downloaded the lightning rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
i have never rooted or doneanthing to my s2 before. all i did was follow the instructions on the page and thought it would be all good? it froze about a quarter of the way there in odin so i just took my phone out.
I usually find from this state I can get back to bootloader or download states
push and hold vol+ and home then power for bootloader
push and hold vol- and home then power for download
sometimes the phone can seem to freeze a little or even die (this happened to me loads on the galaxy s and once already on the s2) and removing battery sim etc or attaching the charger can jog it
however as other have said a JIG is your friend if for no other reason that even if you recover without it, custom roms up the rom count which some twitchy carriers might invalidate your warranty for, the jig will reset this
you can get them from ebay for less than £3 delivered, or there are instructions on this site for making them yourself if you are so inclined.
simply search 'galaxy s2 jig' on ebay mine was delivered today from portugal as I am way too lazy to make one and only wanted a counter reset anyway
Hi to everyone! Is my first thread here. I have a Samsung Vibrant SGH-T959 and try to update using Odin3 v1.85. Everything go well but at end apear Fail in Odin and the phone turn off. I think the phone go to restart but never turn on again and I can't turn on now. I press power botton and no response. I try to put it in download mode or recovery mode and I can't. What is next? I order a JIG, but a friend told me that no correct my problem.
One does not update via Odin (well 99% of the time IMO) Odin is usually used to revert to stock and reset partitions.
Did you have the repartition checked?
Did you try and flash a ROM or Boot loaders?
When you hook the phone to the computer and open up Odin does it still show a yellow box? If so flash back to JFD and start over.
If you tried to flash bootloaders your only hope of unbricking it may be a JTAG service (google it).
It may be late for you now...but a warning to others - Messing with Odin is one of the quickest ways to brick your phone. I dont think Ive ever actually heard of anyone hard brick a T959 without Odin.
Unless your updating the boot loader hard brick is near impossible. Odin is not to blame, and the risk is negligible.
My vibrant died a few days ago reverting to stock to deposit a check (so GPS would work). Sounds like the phone just died. Mine is hardware dead and sounds just like yours. Wont turn on or acknowledge a current when plugged into the charger.
BTW: Unlike some other phones, if you click re-partition on the Vibrant and have the pit file. You can repartition and it not muck up the phone... well unless the repartitioning itself went AWOL.

I agree with ya Moped_Ryder about the quirks of using Odin, although Ive never had a problem with it, as long as I do or don't tick the wrong buttons or try flashing the wrong SW for the wrong application ETC ETC!!
Ironically, a half a day too late, I found out about the dangers and horrors of using the Samsung Kies update, and that was what BRICKED my phone, Its corrupted the primary and 2ndary Boot-loaders, BUT again it wasn't ODIN that did it!! Personally I use CWM to flash anything above stock JFD.
BTW I JUST INSTALLED YOUR ROM GREAT WORK, IVE NEVER SEEN FROYO ACT AND PERFORM SO WELL! WHY WOULD I REVERT BACK TO FROYO, BECAUSE IVE HAD TOO MANY WEIRD PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE ICS's and Froyo cured all the app problems I needed working and plus Ive got the loud ringtone again ETC ETC!! Only thing I miss. Is not being able to use my FFC I modded the phone with. I'm wondering if there is a way to port that part of the needed SW into your Froyo to support FFC's Sometimes Old is better, but to each their own!! Anyway great job, Thanks a ton!!
Unfortunately you have a hard brick. I know, I did the same thing. Fortunately it doesn't mean your phone is toast. Go to mobiletechvideos.com, you need a JTAG service. I also recommend the Unbrickable Mod. They can do that service for you. You can find out more about unbrickable mod, search in xda. Good luck!

Don't necessarily give up.
My phone was doing the same thing after I screwed up a flash. The screen would not light up and there was no indication of the phone powering up at all no matter what I did. Tried all sorts of tricks (researched from XDA) to get into download mode or otherwise get it to at least partially boot, aboslutely nothing worked. Out of desperation, I found a guy within driving distance of me that sold jigs, got one within a couple of hours. Popped the jig into my phone, went right into download mode, flashed stock no problem. Phone has worked fine ever since.
Don't give up. Hopefully the jig will work.
I had a similar issue with my phone after using Odin,it was completely hard bricked. As I am in Europe no possibility for Jtag but I found the Unbrickable Mod by Adam Outler. Using it you really need very good soldering skills. If you're not good with that try to find someone to do it on any electronic repairs or something, that's the way that I did,it will cost you few bucks.

You cannot brick this phone. I thought I bricked mine a couple times and panicked like hell only to have fixed the problem. Odin is reverting back to 2.1 or 2.2 if you mess up. If you are having trouble with Odin, try Heimdall. As far as turning your phone on, take out the battery, put it back in, plug in usb with odin or heimdall running, volume up and down while pressing power button. Hold this until download mode shows up. odin back to stock. After this, try re-flashing the new firmware you tried, but read the developers instructions again before doing so. I hope this helped
Even if you brick the phone hopelessly with a bad bootloader flash, it's not really lost. If you Google something like "Vibrant jtag repair" you'll find that you can get you phone fixed.

Please Help me out.
I was using CynogenMod7 ROM. Could not write on my external SD card or mount it .
So decided to go back to Stock froyo firmware.
Tried ODIN to flash to my stock froyo firmware.
Had done it many many many a times earlier with success.
But ODIN could'nt complete the process, it kept on getting struck at Kernel and Factory some times.
Later thought there might be something wrong with bootloader.
Downloaded stock froyo bootloader.
Tried to ODIN the bootloader and got Struck at SBL many times ,Kept on trying then got struck at PARAM.
Removed the battery.
From than on NO Response what so ever combination buttons used.
No battery indicators,No light on Home keys, No signs of any power. Nothing Visible on screen & keys.
Tried usb JIG - no response.
Tried Ultimate UnBrick Resurrector-No response.
No lights .
Please solve my problem.
This may not work because I discovered this by accident. I bricked my phone so bad it looked like it wouldn't even turn on too. So, hopefully this works. Make sure you have your samsung drivers installed. Open Odin and connect the USB to the computer but not to the phone. Do a battery pull and do the three button boot, simultaneously connecting the USB to the phone. Most likely, nothing will happen. Hopefully, the phone will connect to Odin. Then, click start. That's right. Don't put any pit or tar files in, just click start. Hopefully, your phone will reboot to the vibrant screen and is stuck there. If it does, now you can reboot to download mode and Odin whatever files you wanted. If it doesn't work, just keep messing with the three button boot. I apologize for wasted time if it doesn't work. These steps are what I personally did on my phone. Hopefully, it works for you.
Sorry to say but I believe you have hard bricked your phone. If installing bootloaders goes wrong then your phone can turn into a paper weight. You could maybe try a jtag repair but I'm not sure it would help. You could call samsung and ask for a replacement, tell them you updated with kies or something but that's not exactly the truth

OK first, the stock images are 2.1 eclair not 2.2 froyo. Are you sure you have the right files? Are you sure your phone is a t959(3g, no front camera)and not t959v(4g, has front camera). Second, it sounds like a hard brick, if all else fails go to www.mobiletechvideos.com and check out the unbrickable mod and JTAG repair.
If you get your phone in DL mode and you have the correct Odin images, check the repartition box as well as others and run it.
Good luck

Remove battery and sim and microsd. Leave out and press and hold power for 30 seconds or so. Leave battery out for a few minutes.
Put battery in and if you are on GB bootloader hold volume up and plug in USB. Might get you to download mode.
I did that with a friends phone about a year ago and got lucky. Odin recognized it. I read that somewhere here on XDA. May be a shot in the dark... but when you get desperate any new ideas to try can be a relief right?
Good luck to you.
After I messed with bootloaders and then tried to get back to stock with Kies I had this problem.

I called Samsung and told them that I was just trying to upgrade to 2.2 with their software and they replaced my PCB (printed circuit board) for no cost (including shipping). I have no idea if they tried to figure out if I had really used Kies (if they could even figure it out with the state my phone was in) or if they just replaced the PCB blindly. Worth a shot, I'd say!
Thanks for your concern.

When you pulled the battery, after it hung up with Odin, you corrupted the primary Bootloader, because it wasn't completely written in......Last weak possible option is to try every rocker/battery/cable sequence ETC, to get Odin to handshake with the phone!!.....If there's still no sign of life after doing that....Your only option will be to have it JTAG,d in order to rewrite the primary bootloader file back in it.....it'll never power on unless the primary bootloader executes properly!!....you can corrupt the 2ndary BL and the phone will only be soft bricked, but a primary BL corruption is phone DEATH!!....Only place I know of that's reliable is: mobiletechvideos.com....send it to them, they'll rewrite the primary BL back in it and I think 2.1 or 2.2 for you and mail the phone back to you!!....Good luck let us know if you got it powered on with any combination, as that could save another Bricker from having to send it out!!
