What is your phone doing now?
Doesn't light up, black screen?
all you see is a phone ! and a computer on the screen

ODIN should be able to recognize it like that.
Open ODIN up, find the PDA and .pit and connect the phone, see if the yellow COM light pops up.

Kind of adding on to what "theexel" said above, here's my instructions on solving what is known as a "soft brick". Shouldn't be to hard, if at all, and hopefully you should be back to enjoying your Vibrant in a matter of no time...

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
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.

Oh and yeah, the download mode image doesn't necessarily need to be present. As long as the COM ID is lighting up yellow you should be good.

Plugged it in, Started Odin but nothing happened
hm.....do you have the drivers installed correctly?
Yea
Im fairly sure I do
I had been using the storage and everything on it, transferring music, roms and whatnot
no you need certain drivers for odin they are right herehttp://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
I had the same exact problem yesterday when flashing simply honey 3.5 yesterday through odin. I believe you can still enter download mode just make sure you are pressing the VOLUME UP button only and not both at the same time. If that doesnt work remove your battery,sim card and sd card, and try it again odin will recognize it eventually. Try different usb ports on your pc too that seems to work for me. If odin doesnt work well you might not have the drivers installed.

GT-P7510: Can only boot into Download mode. "No Kernel" and no Recovery. HELP!
Title says it all. My tablet will boot into the Recovery/Download selection screen if I do it right, but selecting Recovery mode does absolutely nothing.
If I try to boot the tablet normally, it will go directly into Download mode on its own.
I'm reaching out everywhere I can for help. This is beyond frustrating.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Here. This is what happens every single time I do ANYTHING in Odin. I'm seriously at a loss and have no clue where to go from here. ****.

My phone is not restarting. I am using a Samsung Vibrant T959.
I really love the phone since it a gift from my sister and I hope i can fix it. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 firmware, but last month I installed ICS on my phone after which I started receiving me errors.I guess the ICS version i installed was not very stable. Usually restarting the phone would fix the problems and I would be good to go. However last evening when I got the error I restarted the phone 2 times but I would still receive the errors. The 3rd time I restarted it, the phone got stuck on the animation screen and did not boot.
I tried the recovery mode and it worked fine.
I took a backup of my data using the USB debugging mode of the phone.
Since I was irritated with this version of ICS i tried to root my phone using Odin.
Odin failed. The phone was stuck on the downloading screen for some time so i disconnected the phone from my computer and now the phone will not start.
It does not boot, it does not go the recovery mode nor the download mode. when I press the power button or the three buttons (volume and power) together the screen shows a mobile phone a computer and a disconnect between the three (phone ! PC screen) .
I do not know how to fix it. Any help on this would be appreciated..

Please help me understand, you were running an ICS ROM so you had to be rooted. What the hell do you mean you tried rooting with Odin?? What files did you run in Odin?

hi all, i took a risk and bought a s3 that wont boot and the touch screen doesnt work, now i know nothing about how it got into this state, i can boot it into recovery where i am faced with this screen

on the recovery screen the volume buttons dont work so i cant scroll up or down
if i let it "boot" normally it gets to this screen
but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

dont have any spare cable though m8
ok, tried to do it but i couldn't get my mouse to work, maybe because its a wireless mouse?
ETA when i connect the phone to my pc i can see the phones folder, all are empty, there is nothing in the root apart from empty folders.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks
IMPORTANT: your phone needs to be running the lg official lollipop before flashing it
Here's a twrp from the internet that i found.
It includes a Bootloader unlock binary.
so, I've done a tool that automates the installation process
You run it, it'll install twrp and reboot into recovery
If it fails use the tutorial from the original developer
link for the original poster of the tool (thank him):

My cell phone gave brick and did not want to start.
When I put the battery and hold the power button it flashes the led 7 times and then it turns off, so I was able to do that process to make the led flash and I need to take the battery and put it back.
The only function I can access is FASTBOOT MODE.
