I installed and used the FROYO ROM - VIBRANT JK2 , but it had some problems . After that I went to DOWNLOAD MODE and used ODIN to reflash the ROM 2.1 UVJFD STOCK ROM. Then my phone stopped working, when I turned on my phone, on the screen it appear some strange signals : a phone with (!) and a computer . I cannot go to RECOVERY MODE except DOWNLOAD MODE but ODIN doesn't work with the ROMs: 2.1 UVJDD, and 2.1 JE8 . Who can help me with my problems ? Plz help me! I'm so sad. My phone is bricked.
Thanks for your help.
great time to brush up on your reading skills. read the Vibrant Directory stickied above you. I'm sure it's fixable
Have you tried checking the VIBRANT DIRECTORY BIBLE which is stickied in this forum? That would be a good place to start rather than posting a non development question in the development forum.
There is a link titled *How to recover from a "soft brick" on your Vibrant and return to stock. (Phone ! PC error)...I would suggest checking it out.

1. No it is not
2. Wrong section for posting this.
3. Do some reading. Get a stock Rom.
i had this very same problem yesterday and instead-of freaking out and asking GOD for help in exchange of my life, i just read the forum and fixed it my self, please do some search!
Use Odin to flash Eugune Froyo that doesn't break...
then back to Stock Rom with re-partition..
helped me every time even with voodoo lag fix wrong flash....
and yes you can find all this in the bible
^everyone above is right
you will find all the info you need on the page they have sent you to. Its really seems to be hard to irreversibly brick this phone so have hope and learn the ins and outs this time around before f####ing your phone up.
(abbreviated version)
>read before flashing your phone up
>Never post Plz help me ! in development

@OP you do have a SGH-T959 samsung Vibrant, right?
Lol I am sorry but the title of this post is just freaking hilarious to me it sounds incredibly frantic and at first I thought it would be mocking someone who posts in the wrong section and overreacts before reading anything haha

No, help yourself to some reading, stop spoon feeding, simple issues to these ignorant people, if your unwilling to educate yourself or seek knowledge you deserve to stay in the dark

Vibrant Directory Bible FTW...
wrong section of the forums.
and
did you get it figured out?
I found out how to do it in the Q&A section, I think. But anyways, I figured out that its pretty hard to brick a vibrant phone, but I wouldn't mess around with it.
Had this same prob, go into download mode (power on holding power and both vol buttons while powering on, after second flash of logo, let go power) Then download stock JFD rom for ODIN. (If odin doesnt see you phone, then unplug and replug while in download mode) Flash the JFD rom via ODIN and your back in biz.
He is obviously freaking out a bit, we have all been there, cut him some slack people jesus.
ITS THE WRONG FORUM is such an asshole move when people are freaking out.

All you need it do is open ODIN, get your phone in Download mode, Make sure you have the right files
PIT FILE-- s1_odin_20100512.pit
STOCK ZIP-- T959UVJFD
PDA FILE-- T959-PDA
and hit the START button
I bricked my phone up a few times and worked everytime.
Tried it on 2.2 & 2.1 update1 Both reflashed to Stock with no problem. Hope that helps.

put your tab in download mode and flash a stock rom with odin.
check out the sticky thread in this section.
what exactly is download mode how do i get it there and how would i get it on my tablet if i can't get it to boot up
First thread this section, READ THIS FIRST!!! Its meant for newbies...so go read it!
Yeah its very easy. Try searching first. Everything you need is in the sticky thread.

Moving to Q&A
Had been using Cyanogen Mod and Siyah kernel. Decided to reboot and the phone got stuck at the ! Insecure kernel stage and woudln't go into rcovery.
Went into Download mode and flashed my O2 stock firmware via Odin. Boots part the intial stage and now its stuck at the animation of the S with SGS2 at the bottom and doesn't go any further than that.
Any suggestions would be great.
ur-root then re-root it

I second this.
Yes, that thread have helped me to get out of the boot loop situation.
If you did a backup before, you're good.
If not you will lose your data, but still, you get your phone to work again
hi, i was trying to update my SGS2 to ICS by myself using Odin, but something went wrong and now i can not get the phone start at all .
and i get an icon for a phone and a PC and a warring triangle to show me that the connection is lost
please help.
it's complicated
I had a situation like yours several days ago when I tried to install 3dot remover for my HTC one X.
I had to reinstall whole ROM to make it boot up again. I hope you'll find some other way.
Try clockwork recovery if you have any backup.
no backup
i have no back up, but its ok for my to reinstall the ROM but i dont know how to!
Can you post some pics or screenshot.. Have you tried starting Odin again..??
Did you try removing battery..??
If all these doesn't work out try usb jig..
And please post in s2 forum.. Sure you can get more answers there
sorry about the wrong place
because i am new member so am not allowed to post pics. yes i tried all that and it does not working.
Phone-!-pc mode is download mode. You have to re-flash rom in odin/heimdall.

Just search XDA for "rooting samsung galaxy S2" and then install new ROM. Few days ago I was just like you
Make some research here on XDA you'll find everything here. Or if you can not understand search youtube for video tutorials.
So as the title suggests i have an dead home button and bootloop. This means that i can't boot into recovery to do a factory reset.I flashed the stock rom via odin but it still bootloops because of the previous cyanogenmod rom i had. I can't enter recovery by the up-power-home key combination and i also can't enter by the adb reboot recovery at bootloop.
I don't know if there is anything else to do, Is there any method i can wipe data and do a factory reset from odin ?
Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General; download the 3 part firmware linked to in thread & flash with Odin - this will wipe the phone & hopefully get rid of whatever is causing bootloop. Problems with flash ? Go through troubleshooting steps in thread methodically until you get a successful flash.

Oh my God, it worked! Thank you very much, i cannot believe it f****** worked! THANKS!
Good news, glad it worked. No probs Don't forget to thank the OP in Hopper's thread, he put a lot of time/effort into putting it together to make it the 'go-to' thread for S2 on here in these situations.
Hello!
I am facing a really similar problem, however, i can't enter the download mode (also because of the broken home button) to flash the 3 part firmware that was linked in that thread. Do you have any other idea? i also tryed the adb download mode but the computer is not recognizing the usb (SAMSUNG USB MTP failed).
Thanks in advance.
The only thing that *might* work is to force the phone into download mode with a USB jig.....then follow @Hopper8s guide as @MistahBungle suggested to the other poster. If your phone is bootlooping as opposed to being completely dead, you have a reasonable chance that the jig will work.
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
hey!!
Thanks for the reply!! After about 50 trys, the phone miraculously entered the download mode with the technique of holding the volume down pressed and plugging a charger in it. After that i followed the steps described in the guide, flashed the 3 part firmware and worked like a charm!
Thx a lot for the help!!
Cant find link for 3 parts firmware ... any help plz ???

Check hopper8's odin troubleshooting guide. It is sticky'd in the general section and has a link (hosted by me) to the 3 part firmware in the OP
