You may have flashed a GB boot loader. Don't worry about it. It's just the label. Your phone should be still function.

i am now downloading AIO toolbox i will try with it.i hope i can solve this problem too.i promise i will not change my rom again

If you plan to keep froyo on your phone, you can download the froyo boot loader from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990 to see Samsung Vibrant logo again.
If you want GB or ICS Rom, you have to flash GB boot loader.

[Q] Bricked Vibrant and a new issue at &t logo screen on vibrant

Dear all,
i hope you can solve my problem,
when i start my phone, it gives at&t logo screen, this is because i have unfortunately used captivate stock file, and with that i have also lost my 3 button combo.
i want to remove at&t logo and want to get my original vibrant startup screen, and also i want my 3 button combo back to get into restore and download mode.
I m currently using Clockwordmod kernel and Cyanogen mod 7 ROM.
Thanks
please help me....
I would suggest downloading the vibrant AIO toolbox and using Odin to get back to stock. To enter download mode I have always powered down the phone pull the battery and plug the phone into comp. Then while holding both volume down and up insert the battery. Should go rite to download mode. Hope this helps
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
i have tried this as well,,,it doesnt get into the download mode like this... i went down to the stock but the at&t logo is still there ...and it doesnot fixes up 3 button combo...
You need a usb jig to force it into download mode. You can make one yourself if you're handy. Ive had similar problems with ported roms and incorrect button mapping. The jig works every time.
i have ordered a jig for myself ...but how to remove that at&t logo ? my phone is from T-mobile ....
Boot screens come with your rom and/or kernel. Once you flash a rom for the vibrant it should have the correct boot images.
where can i get the stock kernel for vibrant ? please help?
You need to flash Vibrant stock bootloaders via ODIN.
VIBRANT STOCK (FROYO) BOOTLOADER DOWNLOAD LINK
- DROPBOX Download Link
- Mediafire Download Link
ODIN Guide
Please follow this step by step, else I won't be responsible for any DAMAGE.
1. Enter Download mode on your phone.
2. Open ODIN on your computer.
3. Plug in USB and check if ODIN recognizes the phone.
4. Remove all ticks from ODIN, except PDA.
5. Select PDA and browse to the bootloader TAR package file you wish to flash.
6. Click on Flash.
7. If ODIN says PASS, long press power for 10 seconds and it'll reboot, else, repeat 2-6 again...

enter odin, take out your battery,connect the usb to the computer and to the phone, press both vol up and down buttons,reinstall the battery.A yellow COM should pop up in odin.Flash the pit files and you should be good to go!
(if both vol buttons dont give you a COM on odin try vol up then the process if not vol down and the process)
have u looked up the captivate button mapping. maybe you can get into download that way

[Q] bricked gs2

so, i got myself a bricked gs2
i have the phone...triangle...pc screen
i can't enter download mode, neither recovery mode
and obviously, it doesn't boot
do i need a JIG? because i'm already searching for 300k resistors
Did you try to pull out battery and put it back? How did you brick it?

are you sure ur doing it right?
hold vol down + middle menu button + power .. try it also with it plugged in to power if that doesn't work ...
if you are getting the phone triangle pc screen that means you're soft bricked and you still should be able to get into download mode :/

That phone - triangle - pc screen is a forced download mode, I believe. Means you aren't going anywhere until you flash a working firmware. You should be able to flash from there.

It should, yes. I've heard of others flashing from that screen. (I've also told others who have been on that screen to flash, and they have reported success.)
I have not PERSONALLY done it, as I have never actually had this screen show on my phone.
Exactly right CTM.
I successfully flashed a kernel in forced download mode when my very first flashing attempt went haywire. Put me in bootloop tho for some reason. But it did enable me to get into download mode proper & was then able to flash a stock rom.

update:
it's a i9100G, i just found out by inspecting it out a little
everything's okay, flashed a i9100G kernel and got in download mode, thanks anyway

So, you and she learned a valuable lesson then. Do NOT under ANY circumstances use any firmwares or kernels for any device OTHER than an I9100G. The G is very important.
I9100G is not compatible to use I9100 firmwares or kernels.

You're ****ting me.
even if you were dumb enough to flash a bloody hero rom, you should be able to get into recovery unless they implemented a hero recovery into it.
get odin, put your phone in dl mode and run it, flash a new recovery.
Search the forums
Can you put your phone in download mode? Because if you can you can just reflash a stock rom from samfirmware.com onto it using Odin.
This thread may help you in reflashing a stock firmware:

In future stick to roms made for your model only

We need a lot more info. What did you flash, how did you flash it. Where did you get the firmware. I ask the last question because according to your profile, you just created this account today. Which tells me you got the firmware elsewhere.

To boot into recovery you want to release the buttons by the second Samsung logo pop-up. And don't plug into computer. That's for download mode.
Regardless, I don't see recovery being much help to you if Odin is not working for you.
Is odin showing that its successfully flashing your phone? After flashing back to stock with Odin, is the siyah logo at least gone?

Yes, but you need to describe everything you did and everything that happened to make you want to flash back to stock. Without knowing what caused the problem in the first place, we can't help you very much. You say you installed many roms (stock, custom). Your phone probably did not fail randomly. There is probably some event or circumstance you can think of, or change you made, just before it failed. Please be specific.

Hold the Vol+/- & PWR button at the same time, when seeing first boot, keep holding all 3, when past 2nd boot screen, release all 3.
There's no PC involved.

So i try to put in recovery mode and i hold volume upvolume down+power and in the second boot when i see the samsung logo i release and nothing happend. and i see only the samsung galax logo bla bla.. when i turn on the phone normally i can see the samsung logo then de siyah kernel and stack there. if i wait some minutes its restart and do it again. I try to install with odin some stock rom and pass perfectly but the phone still show me the same. its like i didnt change anything. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont know if u understand me jajjaaj my english is not very good lol im gonna cry

Can't get into the recovery of a gt-p7500

Hi guys.
Last night i was trying to help a mate root and flash a rom on his 7500, and for some reason booting into recovery/download mode seems impossible.
Tried every button combo, unless it's not the power button alone nothing happens.
Tried using adb to reboot into recovery and the bootloader, but all it did was turn the device off.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this?

i would just odin a new recovery on it. That way u know u have a working recovery to boot to. Dont forget to check the md5 of the recovery zip before u flash it.
Could you point me to an odin guide? This would be the first time i play around with a samsung device.
Plus all the ones i managed to find with my google-fu seem to have the required files missing, due to their age

Here is a Link to my Q&A thread. It has odin and an older cwm recovery tar that will work for the 7500...even though i say in the thread,7510 only.
Just use the odin in the zip and the recovery..not sure if the root zip will work. After u have the recovery on and boot the tab up. Go get new verion of twrp recovery for the 7500 and flash via recovery. When you reboot,it will ask to install root. Go ahead and let it.
Wait, but how am i to use odin if i can't reach download mode?

Try running the battery all the way dead and leave it for a day or two..then charge it all the way up and try again.
