Hey everyone.
So the other day I got excited about the CM7. I was following the steps to install it. i made a mistake. after i flashed the kernel. i rebooted my phone now all i get is a screen with picture of phone with a yellow triangle attached to a pc.
The thing i've tried to do was
1.take out the battery
2. take out the sim(which was already taken out to be in my gs4g)
3.took sd card out.
4.plug usb into phone and computer
5.put battery in while hitting the vol +/- minus rocker and nothing happens.i have odin open when I( try this.
my computer just wont pick it up.
when I plug in my gs4g it picks it up right away.
I've spent all weekend working on this.
also i think they only way before hand for me to get into download/recovery was for me to use adb. could that be why I'm not getting any progress?
Thanks in advance. Also sorry if this question has been asked so many times..
Is your problem getting into download mode? Or is it that you get into download mode but Odin won't recognize the device?
If its the former, getting into download mode is a bit tricky in CM7, I've done it plenty of times though. This worked for me.
1. Unplug the usb cord.
2. Pull out the battery.
3. Plug usb cord in.
4. Hold down vol+ & vol- and power button
5. You will see the loading circle or whatever it's called, when the screen goes black let go of power button.
You should be in download mode now. Sometimes you won't get the loading screen and the phone'll just boot up, if so pull the batt and try again.

I've done that many times. I've tried for several hours during the weekend. Also CM7 is not installed yet. was in the middle of installing then this happend.
just open odin and plug your phone in to your pc and see if you get a COM port...if you do then flash it from there..

not getting that at all no com ports show up.. I'm going to try this on a different computer.
When I get the black screen with that icon in the middle and I plug it in, Odin recognizes it right away. Furthermore, I've only gotten it before when I go into download mode(yellow sign + android sweeping) and Odin doesn't recognize my phone and I pull the battery then turn it back on.
Get odin up usb cord connected to the computer but not the phone
Remove the sim card the sd card and the battery and do the vol up and down boot. Then while holding the vol buttons down at the same time plug in the usb.
That should get you back to recovery.
READ the STICKY for NOOBS......... S15274N did a wonderful job of explaining all the methods on how to get into recovery from a soft brick
good luck

I've been trying all of those methods. Before this happened the only way for me to get into download was using adb reboot download command in adb.
The computer does not recognize in odin. I've tired this on two computers now.
I have all the drivers installed. i uninstalled ed reinstalled etc. used two different usb cables etc.
not sure what else to try. other than a baseball bat....
so i looked around and i bought a jig on ebay from skisky1. hopefully it will be here soon . to try this out .
and tried every method short of the jig to enter download mode. The rom I was on started force closing so I used a backup that was on my card and got stuck at the vibrant screen. When I pull the battery and plug in, the charge icon pops up but stays gray, if i leave it plugged in for a few minutes, kernel panic pops up. No 3 button combo seems to work for download or recovery, Iv'e used both many times, adb nor odin has recognized my phone. Any suggestions?
What rom were you on?
Holding in both volume buttons?
Have odin open and usb connected to pc already?
I was on the Beast and tried Private Stock without disabling voo doo, for some reason the usual usb button combo wont work, computer doesn't recognize at all
So, you tried to get into download mode these ways:
1-
On PC, open ODIN
Connect USB to PC (not phone)
Pull Battery on phone and replace it
Press and hold in both volume buttons
Connect USB to phone (volume buttons still pressed in)
Wait at least 3 seconds (still holding volume)
Release when you see the Yellow Triangle
2-
Open ODIN
Connect usb to pc
pull battery, sim, sd card
on odin, load the pit and tar files for jfd
connect usb to phone
hold in both volume buttons and insert the battery
3 seconds.. download mode?
Now, is your phone getting into download mode and the pc is not recognizing it? ie, the COM # is not showing? If that's the case, it sounds like you need the drivers... some other usb device is connecting and messing up odin (happens to me with my webcam)... or the usb cable you are using could be the issue, guesses
You should be good to go with s15274n second method. Good luck
I recently had a Phone ... ! ... PC that refused to disappear. I was able to see a COM port in ODIN, but could not get it to show Download Mode on the phone. I went ahead and tried to start the ODIN flash anyway, and it worked like a charm. If you see a COM port in ODIN, try flashing anyway.
No luck with either of those methods, odin doesn't see it at all.The only thing other than kernel panic, a gray battery symbol, or the vibrant screen was a button forced upload screen similar to kernel panic.
I just downloaded fresh jfd files, method 2, got a power reset or unknown upload mode, popped up in an odin window but hung up on file analysis

I messed up my phoen flashing a rom and now when I am trying reset with odin it hangs up on file analysisI tried looking for a solution online nothing worked...
Changed usb ports
was wondering if someone knew how I could go about fixing this thanks...
Can you still get into download mode?
I would think he should be OK to get into DL mode. Sometimes ODIN likes to be difficult like that. Just unplug the phone, reset, and put it back into DL mode again. Any of those things could be the source, but doing them all shouldn't hurt, and I wouldn't expect the same issue to happen again. If it does, check your pit and tar files.
As long as you can get into download mode or recovery, you're fine. Just try different combinations as prince stated.
Verify the md5, or download again
Remove other usb items (my webcam hates odin)
Reboot pc
other usb
Using cable that came with phone? (my n1 cable didn't work)
i haven't been able to try that now when i connect my phone there is an image of a phone a computer and a triangular sign with and exclamation point cant get into download mode....? any clues why?

Pull the battery, put it back in, Hold down volume up and down and plug in usb and that will get you back into D/l mode. Did it ten times today. That will happen when you pull the usb cord off the phone while in D/L mode. Always pull the usb out of the pc instead.

Unplug the usb from the phone and computer
Unplug every usb from the computer
Take out your battery
Restart your computer
Open Heimdall software once computer is booted
Plug the usb into the computer
Hold the vol up and down on your phone, while holding them, connect the usb to the phone, then insert the battery. Hold the two buttons until it's in download mode.
Edit...try bada method first. Both work.
problem solved
Thanks a lot i removed all the usb drives rebooted and ran odin it went trhough and froze up at another part but then i put the usb cable on the back of the pc and it was fixed thanks a lot guys i loaded it back to stock.
I had tried to update my phone via Kies and the computer blue screened. Now the phone is stuck on the ODIN Mode screen with a picture of my phone on the left, a yellow triangle in the middle, and a computer on the right. Taking the battery out does nothing, restarting does nothing, restarting while holding down the volume buttons does nothing. No matter what, it always comes back to this screen.
When I plug the device into my windows based PC and open ODIN, ODIN does not see my phone. When I plug it into my linux computer and run lsusb, it does not list my phone in the output, so the computer definitely isn't recognizing that my phone is plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, I had this problem while trying to back up the phone, so I'm not sure if it's related to the botched upgrade or not.
Does anyone have any tips or advice here? I'd really love to be able to use my phone again. I am using the cable that came with the phone. I have the same results with other cables, as well....
I'm happy to provide more information if needed. Just tell me what you need to know.
That screen is a form of download mode. You should be able to flash stock or stock plus root from there.

If this statement reflects what you actually did, then it suggests the wrong order. You must first open oden on the desktop, and then connect the phone to the computer in download mode.
Try that first.
Next you could try putting the phone into download mode with the battery pulled out. Open Odin on the desktop, then with the battery out, hold down the vol- button while plugging in the usb cable.
Thanks for your response.
So I went ahead and cleared out everything and then reinstalled the USB drivers. Opened ODIN, connected USB to computer, took battery out of phone, put battery back in, held down volume buttons and inserted the cord. The screen immediately loaded up the one I spoke of in my first post. Odin still did not recognize that I had my phone plugged in.
So then I installed Kies and went to the firmware restoration item under the tools menu. Entered my model and serial number and put my phone into recovery mode according to the instructions there, but the "Start Upgrade" button was grayed out and never became clickable.
One thing I did notice while doing this (On yet another new computer) is that when I plug in the phone, I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error in Windows. I'm not sure if this is a result of it being in download mode or not, but I thought it worth mentioning. I did attempt to blow out my mini USB on the phone for good measure, but had the same result, even with another cord.
On ur Windows pc, did u try different usb ports ? And don't use a usb hub.

Yes, multiple ports on multiple PCs.
The port was working fine yesterday when the Kies update failed.
Have u tried using a Jig to get ur phone into download mode ??
(See my signature link below. There r links there on how to make a jig and/or where to buy one)

First of all make sure that your PC isnt running Kies in the background - Use Tsk Manager to kill Kies process
Then Plug In your Phone
Enter Download Mode by holding both volume buttons and powerbutton till the Boot Screen Appears.Let the power button go when you see the boot screen but keep holding the volume buttons.
In no time you'll be in Download mode
Then go to odin and check if your computer recognises it. Odin willl show you (Com:x) X - Any Number
Then you can easily flash stock rom or a custom recovery..

I have already made sure Kies is not running (And have tried this on a computer without Kies installed) and according to creepyncrawly in the second post here, the screen that I'm seeing IS download mode.

I tried everything you did, and the only way I got Odin to recognize my phone was use a USB jig to get it into the download mode other people are talking about

I'm definitely open to making one, but I'm confused since everything I'm reading says that the screen I described IS download mode, just with a different screen. Are you saying that you had the exact same situation as me and a Jig fixed it?

You could order one fairly inexpensive. But order it or make it still takes some time. But as several have mentioned, it may help.
Did you try forcing download mode with the battery out as I suggested in the second post?
Yes, I have tried forcing download mode by taking the battery out, holding down Vol and inserting it again. These are also the instructions that Kies gives, but it didn't work there either.

My phones update failed and I got the same phone, triangle, computer. I tried different USBs, different USB ports, different computers, tried Odin, nothing worked. As soon as I found my USB jig that was lying around, and plugged it in before I put in the battery, and the regular download mode which I am used to seeing showed up. ODIN recognized the phone and I flashed back to stock ICS rooted I downloaded from XDA.

That's different that what I suggested. Remove the battery and leave it out. If you have to, sit on it so you won't be tempted to put it back in, lol. While holding vol down button, plug in the usb cable. The usb will supply the power. The phone should boot into download mode.

I guess I misread that. I blame it on my stressful week ending with no phone
So I just did that and boom, download mode as I would expect loaded up first time, no issues after I held down both Volume buttons while plugging it in (Holding down just Vol - didn't do anything). Unfortunately, it still did not show up in Odin (Kies background processes were all killed and USB driver IS installed on this computer and Odin WAS open before I plugged the phone in)
So I unplugged, opened Kies, and was going to try a restore through there since I could finally get download mode working properly. Except when I tried it this time, nothing happened. I held down the vol buttons, plugged it in, got a single vibrate, but nothing showed up on the screen. Unplugged, put the battery in, and it turned on and screen worked. Took out the battery and just plugged it in and the screen worked after vibrating 6 short pulses (It pulled up the screen mentioned in my first post). Unplugged, held down vol buttons and plugged it in, same thing. Blank screen.
Now I'm really at a loss. I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my USB port on the phone itself.

Hi there,
i have same problem with my Galaxy ACE GT-S5839i: i can't get ODIN to detect my phone. Originally, i tried to flash my phone and made a mistake in the process (installed a ROM before i installed CWM). This caused my phone to stop booting. The only thing remaining working is the download mode. But i can't get ODIN to detect. I tried 2 PCs, different USB ports; i tried to install Kies, or just the drivers... nothing makes ODIN detect my phone... I hear my PCs detects the phone when in download mode (it bips) and my PCs both recognized my phone (Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device). On PC uses windows 7 and the other Windows Vista. I ran ODIN v4.38 on both... Would be grateful for any idea what to do...

I had the same problem with kies on a sprint s2. EXACT same problem. Cord got jerked out in the middle of Odin flash. THE ONLY screen i could get is the one you described.
Also went through the steps with keis, dl firmware, got to the last part but the start button was greyed out. I had to do this several times and finally the start button lit up. Idk why it didn't work before but it finally did. Have you tried doing it more than once?
I wished i could be more help but that was my experience. Maybe it will work for you.
I was trying to root and update this tablet, and I think I killed it. The current state is that I can only boot into ODIN3 Download Mode. If I hold down the power and up volume I get the two choices. If I try to boot into recovery mode the table just reboots. I can go into the download mode. One interesting change is that now I have to press the volume down to proceed verses vol up. The text loads to Waiting USB Cable (upper left corner). When I run Odin on my laptop I cannot see the table. I was able to see the tablet earlier before this "hang up" so I am confident that it is not the cable or drivers. I have uninstalled and re installed drivers. If I connect another tablet (same model) it is recognized. So basically all I can do is get to the screen where it says Downloading and can not see it from my laptop. I have even tried another laptop and loaded the drivers and Odin and still could not see it. I have tried Odin vr 1.85 and 3.07 neither work. At this point If I could get anything loaded I would be happy and there is nothing on it that needs to be saved. This is the Verizon 4g model.

Try using another tablet with the same model in download mode and another USB Cable and connect it, then use the USB Cable you used to connect the other tab.
It ran out of battery power last night. Will it take a charge if there is no firmware, or software on the tablet? I have it on the charger now and the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" message just popped up. I will let it charge for a while and try the USB cable swap idea.
Charge it even if it says "Emergency Firmware Required". Then turn it on and connect it to kies, go to emergency firmware recovery, it should show your device up there, if not flash a stock rom using odin.
