When i try to reflash my phone to the stock OS at the lowest battery level, I just turn off my phone when the phone is in download mode. Now i cant turn on my phone. Can't charging the phone or doing anything more.
Anyone please give me an advise in my case.
Thx

K remove battery and plug usb into computer but not into phone. Next hold the two volume buttons and plug in the usb to your phone and see if it boots.
I might be wrong about this, but it seems like you wiped your Os. You might need to find someone to do something called jtag (I think that's what it's called) its basically the process used during manufacturing to install the Os. Look up how to un brick a hard brick. You'll read more about it.

You flashed the package listed while your phone had low battery. While flashing, the battery ran out. Now it will not boot or change. Am I correct?

I was not trying to be a ****. Your explanation was not quite clear and I wanted to make sure I had all the information.
When you plug your device into the wall charger, does it charge? Can you get your hands on a fully charged battery?

when i plug my device into the wall charge nothing happen the charge screen doesn't appear. And i dont have any fully charged battery.
At this point I would recommend either buying a battery and external charger for it to see if your problem is a dead battery and a phone that is not charging. Otherwise, you will probably need a JTAG service to fix your phone. Mobiletechvideos is a service that has been used by many members. The owner is a member himself.
You could try another cable, but I don't think that is the issue. When the phone was killed mid flash it corrupted the system to the point that it won't charge or boot.

Your phone is alright. Take a breath and go in Sprint and download an ROM when one is available. You just installed the wrong stuff but its an easy fix. Might take days some time for a rom to come online though
Just return it to sprint when they get some in stock and get a new one.

Can you get the phone into download mode?
To do this, pull the battery out (to make sure the phone is completely off), plug it in, hold the volume-down and home buttons then turn it on while holding those buttons.
If you can get it into download mode, then it should be possible to reflash the proper firmware using Odin.
Or at least, that's how things went when I had my Samsung Vibrant. I've only owned my S3 for a day.

Sorry, you're qhsusb_dload (aka hard) bricked. I've spent about 3 days trying to fix mine after I bricked it flashing a kernel on a bad port of cwm. If I had a working S3 and another 3 days I might be able to un-hardbrick it, but yeah, will just be exchanging it as soon as they come back in stock.

Just take it to Sprint but don't tell em you was trying to download a custom rom.. Simple they probably don't know the issue yet until more people start taking they brick phones in because they tried to root..
I think you overpaid for your paperweight . Yes, I feel a little cruel for making a joke about someone who just lost $600, but you do still have a chance at exchanging it at Sprint. Bricking a phone is every custom rom users worst nightmare, but that's probably your best option. Good luck.
Same Probelm...Sort of
Yeah I did the same thing I think, tried to flash a kernel via cwm, said operation aborted...ok....so I reboot it and now it wont turn on, cant get it in download mode. Weird thing is though when i plug it in to my computer and hold down the power button, while nothing happens to my phone my computer will continuously make the connect disconnect sound like my phone is turning on for a nano second.
and if my phone is plugged in with battery out red charge light comes on, so I know something is going on in there.
any thoughts on how/if I can fix....
Yeah I may be a crook. But I would take the battery out and stick the headset in the microwave for about 3 seconds. You have insurance on it. Do what you got to do. They lie, cheat, and steal every chance they get.

Sorry, you're hard-bricked. As I mentioned in a previous post, your phone is in "qhsusb_dload" mode, which is a Qualcomm firmware flashing mode. If you look in your Device Manager, that's what you'll see your computer is detecting. There's absolutely nothing you can do at this point as no one outside Qualcomm/Samsung has the proper tools/files to recover from this state.

I did the same thing, but I flashed the Omega rom and it hard bricked my phone 3 days ago.
I got a JIG in and it didnt work.
im taking it to Sprint tech support to try to get the data off it. FINGERS CROSSED
ok so I got a Note today, used off Craigslist.
Being who I am, decided that I had to ROM it.
Using ODIN I flashed odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar
Rebooted into CWM.
Flashed Liquid JB v2.0 RC8 (D2ATT)
flashed gapps
Did a clear data, wipe dalvik etc.(thought EMMC bug was international only)
went to reboot and nothing. No lights, no bootloop, no logo, nada zilch.
ROM seems correct for my phone so I'm not sure what's going on here.
Is their any hope for this phone?
I can't get ODIN to see the phone, but when I plug in Win7 tells me the drive isn't formatted.
Would love some direction here. Wanted this phone for a long time. Now I'm sitting with a dead unit.
Ouch!
When you plug the phone in, do you see a battery? Do you have a Jig?
don't see the battery, and no don't a jig

not quite the same I flashed a(supposedly) proper ROM.
Get a battery charger!
Ok, don't give up hope yet. The phone won't accept a charge, but you need to charge your battery. Hope you have a external charger, or borrow some one else battery. You need a full battery, and a Jig ( cheap, only $2 on Ebay). You need to put your phone in Download Mode for Odin to see.
---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------
The Jig work on all Samsung phone I got, including the Note. ICS is not the issue. The Jig work on a deep layer.
battery was fully charged before i started any rom work.
SO maybe just a jig? Has a jig ever been successful with a phone that won't even turn on to the fail screen
I get absolutely nothing.

My Infuse was brick badly. I was glad I had a Jig. I had the Infuse in Download Mode, but the screen all rainbow color or blank. However, Odin saw the phone. Your battery can drain pretty quick when your phone is jack up. My battery was full when I started flashing. I saw a video on Youtube to fix phone that even a Jig cannot solve. I could not find it now.
Here is a link to unbrick your phone.

ok I just figured out what I did.
Technically it is my fault.
The D2att rom is for an S3.
I need the quincy version.
I don't get the naming of it from the download links but I bricked my phone, my fault. SON OF A *****!.
Why the rom creator uses these code names I'll never know.
Now I'm pissed and need to know if there's anyway to fix this

Sent from my SGH-i717 using xda premium
because if you follow the link to the facebook page with the download i didn't scroll down far enough and read 'the code' names.
most other places keep phones separated or at least give you the model number with the rom.
This caught me off 'guard' so I did it to myself.
Fyi everyone, even Cyanogen calls this Quincy. Which I'm sure you've noticed by now

yep, just add's fuel to my fire.
I'm more pissed at myself than anything. A little more reading and I'd be playing versus trying to figure out a way around this.
Looks like it'll be $50 jtab sendoff for me.
The worst thing is I got this phone for a great price of $200 with 2 ballistic cases. Now it'll be a $250 phone and at least a week without it.
I hate it when I'm the biggest cause of my problems. The upside is at least it's not a 200 mistake, only a 50.
:silly:
Well you live and you learn. Just send it off. Atleast there IS an option to revive it. Good luck.

Yes. You can remove the back, then the guts, then the bezel. Its a chore. Find a disassembly video on Youtube. I'll be over here praying for you.
It probably is covered under the year warranty. After the video gets you discouraged, call Samsung.

So i was attempting to root this thing and put a fancy new rom on it, but have got lost along the way and now the phone will not boot into download or recovery modes. It just says Samsung Vibrant and stays there until I pull the battery. I am unable to do the key combos for any of the modes. The only way I could get into recovery was through adb command. But now I cant even do that. Any suggestions or should I just throw it in the can! Thanks

Yes a usb jig (dongle) should solve your problem but its not a guarantee. I would recommend buying one anyway, its a good thing to have around just in case things go wrong. They are only a few bucks so its worth it. You can also try using odin, I have heard of people flashing to stock without a download screen, if you see a yellow com box in odin then your good to go.

try this.. it works for me..
1- Open ODIN on your PC. (DO NOT PRESS/SELECT ANYTHING IN ODIN!)
2- Plug in the USB Cable to PC
(preferably the one that came with your phone *My N1 cable doesn't work??*)
3- Power down Phone if you had not already.
4- Remove the battery.
5- Plug USB into Phone.
6- Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
7- Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
Be mindful to not remove connection while ODIN is running.

Okay thanks. I will get one if I have no sucess.
Anyway, I pulled the battery out for a few hours during hockey and then attempted to try download mode again only I got to a screen that has a bunch of code in red at the top of the screen with the robot underneath saying "Power reset or Upload mode.
What to do?
Thanks

Yea I have seen that screen before, the dongle is going to be your fix most likely. Just wait for the usb jig if you ordered one, it should put you into download mode no problem. If for some reason the jig doesn't work then let us know.

I don't know if it will ever work again. I took it to a shop for a free estimate and he said it's pooped. Something frying something because he says all it does is turn on and say vibrant. Really? The sign said fix any phone. I'm waiting for the jig in the mail all the way from Chinese land. Maybe it will help, maybe it won't. I'll keep y'all posted:fingers-crossed:

Thread layout?
The combination to get into download. Both buttons plus power while plugging in the usb. Or up plus power while plugging in the usb

@MikePysh
I have been in this situation. I feel for you. This the mothergoosing EU bug.
Best bet (and this is how I did it) is to replace the motherboard (I know it sounds scary but it is NOT).
Here are the steps:
1. Buy a used/busted/for parts Vibrant (broken LCD, etc) or even a Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959v from eBay or wherever you can. Do not pay more than US $30-35 if it comes down to that. These two phones, i.e. your T-Mobile Vibrant SGH-T959 and the upgraded 4G version SGH-T959v have the same specs with the exception that the 4G radio is activated on the "v" version.
2. You can either fix it yourself (if you feel brave) or take it to a repair shop and maybe pay US 20-25 for labor to replace the motherboard.
It entirely depends on how badly you want to fix it without throwing it away.
Check out this: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Vibrant to get a feel if you can do it yourself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks fham! Sounds like a project I might attempt.

Try to use Baywolf's Vibrant All in one. IT is really good. You could get into the download mode via the tool too.
Good luck.
Stock ROM, Rooted and Unlocked.
Phone did the OTA update from today (5/2/13), rebooted to the green android, progress got to about 3/4 done and the screen goes black, battery was full charge.
Phone will not come on now, no button combinations work, computer (odin or toolkit) does not see the phone.
Are there any other options that I can try?
Did you do a battery pull?

Multiple times, still nothing.
Only thing I do get, when I hold the power button, the proximity light will flash for a brief second.

Stated that in the OP, battery was full when I started the update. Only took it about 5 minutes before it went black, so I know the battery isn't the issue.
You may have bricked your phone. You're not supposed to run the update if you're rooted and unlocked, something about it not being able to update with a custom recovery. I almost made the same mistake.

I had put the stock recovery back on it before letting the update even download.
It's bricked..
Yeah it's dead.

Oops missed the full battery line in the OP. How did you put stock recovery back? Did you return the phone back to stock?
By the way can you even get into Download Mode by holding volume down+home and power?

Used Note 2 Toolkit to get stock recovery back on it (using Odin) but had left the phone unlocked and rooted.

Gotcha, I never use toolkits so didn't even know that was an option. Well guess you know now to nut take an ota with a unlocked phone. Kind of strange it won't enter Download Mode.
I saw in anther post that are making Verizon send you a replacement since you bricked your phone, so I guess this thread is pointless now

Yeah, is kind of pointless now, but again, the keyword was should have a replacement, knowing Verizon, I will likely get screwed. But if I can somehow get this one back up and going, I can tell them to cancel it.

Same exact thing happened to me . Chk this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249146
Only way to recover is a RIFF / JTAG . I even tried the 300 KOhm and 301 KOhm jig to get it into Download mode and nothing ...... So its def a *REAL* brick that needs expert equipment or a factory service.
