Really im not new about doing this things about how to flash correctly with odin, etc.. But I really do the things correctly I already flash with stock JFD <-- well that's eclair.. the phone works 100% but i had froyo before I flash to stock so i put the official version firmware that T-Mobile launch.. my phone don't start... in Odin say succesful.. it never turn on,No recovery, No download mode.... Some people say that a USB Jig will turn on the phone?, but i don't think so? why can turn on if the phone don't work the 3 combos?, . Also i read about t mobile block the keymapping or someting like that?.. I should be able to have my cellphone in download mode with a usb jig? i will buy it if someone tell me if I have a little hope with my phone..
Please help! ...
the phone seem dead.. like a toy ..
I called in my country a place specialized on cellphone repair and say something that if the phone don't turn on they cant repair it because the MOTHERBOARD is dead ( broken ) idk.
Before purchasing a JIG to get into Download Mode try this...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

Yeah, if the above method didn't work then try a JIG... Here's one for cheap on ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-i90...Accessories&hash=item45fcfe0818#ht_500wt_1287
U can also make a jig really easy and cheap to do there's a tread on how to make one

If you look couple threads down, you'll see my thread, and I am having the same problem. Slightly different cause, but of the same nature, and the exact same problem. I have not had any real help yet, but I have been scouring the forums here. And I think the only option, if none of the button combinations work, as they don't seem to for me, and you're getting a complete brick, is perhaps the usb jig resistor method... but even that I don't think is 100% because some of the people who created the guides on how to make the jig resistor said it only worked for softbrick, not total brick like our cases. Unless someone can verify otherwise...
Thanks for the reply man i don't know what to do man i spent $400 0n this phone there must be a way but no luck on google either

Try this. Take your sim card, microsd and battery out. Leave battery out for a few minutes.
Open odin and load with the 512 pit and Jfd tar.
Plug one end of usb cable into computer only
take your vibrant with everything still out of it
hold down both vol buttons (vol up and down) and never let go
do not touch power
while holding down both volume buttons plug in your usb cable into the phone with the other end previously in the computer...do all this while holding down volume buttons and dont let go
now grab your battery with your free hand and while still holding down the vol buttons now plug in your battery
if all goes well your.phone should go into download mode at which pt you can let go of volume buttons.
If this doesnt work you can maybe try the jig if your bootloader is intact
also since you were messing with voodoo you might need to first flash eugenes froyo tbat doesnt brick...im not too sure on this so ask around and look it up.
You need this first of all (Froyo that does not brick)

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!

Don't forget to thank :]
iv'e tryied that i read somewhere that it's a hard brick
Then try accessing download mode by first, removing the sd card, sim, and battery, second, plugging in the usb cable, third, holding down the two buttons on the side of the phone, and finally, while holding down those two buttons, inserting the battery.
I havee tried that mothod many times no luck just a blank screen
Then commit a fraud and send it back to T-Mobile saying it suddenly stopped working.
Or if you prefer a wild card you can use a JIG

Edit: Never mind it will not work for you. Sorry :/
Edit 2: The phone does not even turn the buttons on??
no nothing turns on at all no power but when i put it to charge it heats up but no battery screen
Yea, take it to T-Mobile and get it replaced. I got mine switched at T-Mobile once, and it would only boot to the custom Nexus animation....the lady still swapped it out. It all depends on the rep, if they won't switch it, go to a different location. Eventually you'll find someone.
i don't think thats possible seeing as im in Canada bought it off ebay
take it to a phone expert. he will flash a bootloader to your phone.

I was running simply honey 3.8 on my phone and my phone was working fine untill when i tried to flash bootlader for gingerbread i for reason took the usb cable out while it was flashing it now i am stuck on download mode and odin is not able to recognize my device , so basically i cant flash nything now i tried to download samsung drivers many time but no luck
please somebody help me with my phone
hmm.....first of alll WHY DO YOU TAKE IT OUT IT TAKES 6 SECS
anyway did you turn it off.....most likely you will have to do a JTAG reset
yah you half flashed a bootloader? .... the fine print in the bootloader Post is very Clear that it is one of the only true ways to HARD BRICK your vibrant.

close odin reopen and attempt to reconnect and flash your Froyo Bootloader. if that don't work you may want to consider a new phone. there aren't any samsung repair centers here in the usa to my knowledge. and your warranty is far gone. Sorry can't help more then that but Bootloaders aren't to be trifled with. Goodluck.
When u do a gingerbread bootloader the method of download mode is very different then froyo so u will have to look that up but its not holding down +,_ volume its something different for gingerbread. But once u figure that out!
power off phone
pull out battery
GRAB THIS STUFF : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
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
double post, sorry
DONT TURN THE PHONE OFF, IT WONT COME BACK ON
just keep unplugging and plugging in till it recognises it, try diff usb ports
only way to recovery hard brick is with a jtag, wasnt expensive for me and only took a day but im in the UK
thanks for replying my got turned off when i connect to the charger i get phone exclamation mark and a computer and i was able to get into download mode but my phone is not able to connect to odin
VERY lucky there...next time just don't do that with a 7 second flash.
reinstall the drivers
but i try to do that but it still not connecting my phone
took me 2 hours of trying to get it to connect last time, i was going to give up but tried for a few more min and it got it
late to the game here... can you boot up the phone? I guess not, but if you could, turning off USB debugging, connect to usb, drivers install, then turning debugging back on would have done it i believe.
have you uninstalled, reinstalled the drivers?
have you trid multiple usb ports?
have you removed other usb items and rebooted the pc?
all of these things sound odd but have proven to help.
I was trying to flash my phone into a gingerbread rom and it failed. Now my phone wont even turn on. I tried to get into download mode. Nothing, read alot of threads and all they tell me is to open odin and it will fix it by reflashing to an oem stock rom. The only problem the phone doesnt respond to anything I do. Can you help me.
Email me at [email protected] thats the best way to get a hold of me. thanks

Are you getting into download mode with the battery pulled(ie...pull battery and hold vol. down, yellow triangle should appear)? If so, try redownloading the samsung drivers. If that don't work, try another computer to make sure its not a usb issue. also make sure your using the stock usb cable that came with your phone.
ya i have tried 4 computer is the household and still not yellow triangle...err....someone told me try and make
You can try to put it in download mode away from the computer by keeping the battery in, pressing and holding the volume down button, and plugging it into a wall socket.
If the phone powers on and goes into download mode, unplug it and go over to your computer without turning the phone off. Plug it into your USB port and remove the battery.
From there you should be able to run Odin and flash back to stock.
Not sure if it will work for you... but it's worth a shot.
what i have heard i hard bricked the phone. I can get the phone even to turn on. I have tried the usb jig but i couldnt get it to work so i ordered one on line and should be here tommarow. I believe that I flashed with my sd card in would that cause this to happen?
I was wondering if someone has done this by accident before and somehow managed to recover w/o jtag? I was flashing a Vibrant for a friend of mine, who told me his phone was the Galaxy S4G. So of course I used Odin to update it to Gingerbread using the pit, pda, and csc files for the Galaxy S 4G phone. After Odin did its thing, the phone stayed on the yellow screen so I did a battery pull to reset it. Afterwards...it never came back on =( . I've tried all the methods to getting it back to download mode with the button combos. Only thing I have not tried is JIG cable and JTAG. I'm planning on ordering a JIG cable on ebay, but that'll be a week. Is there anyone who's mistakenly done the same and managed to get it back to download mode?
Ouch, your friend definitely needs to get his devices straight.
You can try this, but honestly I'm not sure it will work...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.

my note froze up for 5 minutes so i took the battery out and tried to power on by button but no response have been on the charger for hours and nothing. I plugged it in to the computer and is recognized but phone wont show any life. I tried all physical button combos and took battery out for 10 minutes. Phone is and has never been rooted. please any help.
can you get it into download mode?
1. Disconnect the phone from your pc or wall socket
2. Plug a usb cable into your pc, but not into the phone yet
3. Remove and replace the phone battery
4. while holding the volume down and power buttons, connect the phone to the usb that is connected to your pc
If you're in download mode you'll see a big green android guy with the word "Downloading..." underneath.
Not sure what could've gone wrong, but if you can get into download mode, then there is still hope yet for your device.
If you can get into download mode, and you are willing to try some things, it may be possible for you to flash a stock recovery using a tool like Odin. There are guides available for this, like the one here. I would wait on some of the more experienced folks to put in their 2 cents still...like i said, that has never happened to me, so i'm not sure what could be the problem...

U sure u never tried to root it or anything? Either way that's a hard brick my friend, it can't be fixed with software, you have to send it in for repair, or warranty that sucker. I suggest u just warranty
