hello??????
that's your problem. did you read the instructions?
Just keep trying, try heimdell then Odin, then heimdell, over and over again. These phones are hard to hurt.
Try using the wall charger holding volume down, like you would with the computer to get into download mode. Report back.

Yeah, for most purposes, you're going to be using PDA in Odin exclusively.
always always always use PDA. Never phone. period.

Since you have the battery out, having auto-reboot doesn't need to be checked.
Hey guys does anyone have the original JFD Odin firmware for the vibrant? I accidentally deleted it and my vibrant bricked I cannot get into recovery but i can get into download mode. Also I need Odin 1.83 unl
Everything you'll need to flash back to stock firmware...
ODIN (MD5: E012B512C1579C3AF7A38A27FD905B86)
PIT FILE (MD5: 1D927B36D2FA807A22E64FC86B445130)
TAR FILE (MD5: 632730F6B637F53E5B10E5CBC8B966A7)
After downloading it is suggested you use hashtab to verify the MD5.

Also, here's some instructions (taken from my Miui guide) just in case:
3. DOWNLOAD MODE
NOTE - Do not remove the USB cable from the phone while ODIN is running as this may cause your phone to brick. If you removed the USB to early and now your phone is presenting you with a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image when booting then go down to the "More Information" section in this guide for the fix.
Open ODIN on your computer
Plug in the USB Cable to the computer
Remove the battery from the phone.
Plug USB into Phone
Hold down BOTH volume buttons and while holding both, insert the battery.
Two to three seconds later your phone will be in Download Mode.
*Again, do not remove connection while ODIN is running.*
4. ODIN
Go back to ODIN on your PC. There should be a yellow box under ID COM, saying something like COM 5. If not try downloading and installing these Samsung Drivers.
Click the PIT button and select the PIT file from desktop
Click the PDA button and select the TAR file from desktop
Re-partition is checked!
Click Start. Unless ODIN hangs, you should see a progress bar start soon after. The process takes a few minutes and you told ODIN to reboot once done so when your phone boots up, you are on stock JFD.

I been trying to reflash my Vibrant to stock through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
how i kept getting this continuous circle thing instead of rebooting. I searched online and some forums talked about going into CNW recovery and then rewipe. However I can't seem to do that, after Odin (unclick reboot) I will push the 3 buttons (volume up, power, menu) and it would flash a disfigured download mode over and over again.
I am stuck, please help me out! I have attached two photos. I can still get into download mode without any issue.
What bootloader do you have running?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
Bootloader? Sorry I don't know what that is... I only followed the guide...
I am a Noob, a huge uneducated Noob.
Are you going back to stock from ics? When you odin make sure re-partition is checked auto reboot is checked and use the 512 pit file as well as the stock image...
If you were on Ginger bread bootloaders you would only be pressing volume up and power to get into download mode...
When odin is done do you get a green pass! In the top left corner? It should state 1/pass 0 fail

I am going from Ginger bread back to Froyo. I tried to root it in GB and didn't work, it stopped receiving signal connection ...
Yes I mean up volume + power + menu for recovery.
Yes, all three are clicked and it always gives me that white circle loop in the attached image above.
Not sure what gb rom you could have possibly flashed that wouldn't already be rooted... can u get back to download mode from that circle?

I have never seen that stock link before, not too sure what that is, but the link I posted is a clean 2.2 rom...use the 512 pit and put that(link) into the PDA
just PIT and PDA and make sure all three are checked...
yup goes to download perfectly
I have attached a screenshot of what I am doing in Odin if that helps.
Your signature is Canada Rogers...do you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 vibrant?
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
you're using odin 3...not sure if this could be an issue or not, but search for Odin 1.7...use that
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also, from that screen shot, your 512 pit file is in your internet/temp directory...it could be gone after you close your browser....you need these files in a dedicated place like your desktop or something, not in an internet cache folder...when you hit start, did you see a progress bar and see things happening? it takes about 2-5 minutes for the stock firmware to be transferred to your phone
>< I am sorry! When I was searching for help I just saw Vibrant and thought that it would be it. I just noticed there is another thread for it.
I have a Samsung S Vibrant i9000M ... originally from Bell, but it was unlock when i got it... Would I be able to request a move to that forum?
But the procedure would still be the same right? I just flashed it (attached photo). It is saved in my internet temp file but it is physically there, I just named that file for all my internet downloads.
Sorry I am such an idiot. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I'll try using that first and let you know!

Hello ,
I recently got a samsung galaxy s2 i777 at&t , everything was working just fine until i installed jelly bean 4.1.2 !
But the problem is i installed jelly bean i9100 international version , im still a noob and i didn't know that.
The phone is working fine but the back and search button are not responsive i already did a factory reset/wipe and i installed some roms
like UCKH7_stock_root but that didn't help.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
The key mapping is different for the button configuration on the I9100. It is possible to use I9100 firmware on the I777 but you must use a kernel made for the I777, and there are a few other modifications that would be necessary such as the key mapping file.
You should probably flash SGH-I777 firmware, either stock or custom. You can do some reading in the forums here to see what is available. The stock 4.1.2 UCMD8 for the I777 is available in the Download Repository.
Please post a link to the I9100 firmware that you flashed, and I will be able to tell you how exactly to proceed. We need to know if you flashed the I9100 secondary boot loader or not.

Did you flash the SHOstock3 zip from recovery?
Definitely hardware problem. I mean if you clean flashed an i777 ROM(Maybe Shostock3 as per my suggestion) an you still cant get the buttons working, then it certainly is hardware issue.

Or maybe he didn do a proper flash. And its not about jumping to conclusions. I have had this problem twice, all I did was jus clean install an I777 ROM and everything was back in work again. I have this experience. So i thought it could be an hardware issue..or maybe an unclean flash which I didnt include above.

@creepyncrawly This is the ROM he flashed.

This is the official JB. I have no idea here. I thought he flashed an custom ROM. But this is an I9100 official JB. There maybe a different solution for this and I certainly have no idea.

I'm downloading the file now to see exactly what is in there. May take up to an hour. I'll post suggestions after I look at it.
So , what are the results creepyncrawly ?
@AdnaneHMD,
The firmware you installed, "I9100XWLSD_I9100ITVLS1_I9100XXLS8_HOME" contains the I9100 secondary bootloader. You may find that when you try to put your phone into download mode, the regular I777 sequence of holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable will not work for you. This behavior is governed by the secondary bootloader, and I am pretty sure that the I9100 sequence is different.
You will need to first flash the SGH-I777 secondary bootloader (sbl.bin) by itself using Odin. You can find the .tar file you need in the Download Repository. Link is in my signature. Put the sbl.tar in the PDA slot.
First, open Odin on your desktop. Odin3 v1.85 is preferable. If the regular sequence does not work, you can put your phone into download mode with a jig, if you have one. Or you can try this: pull the battery and leave it out. Then hold down vol down (or both volume buttons) while plugging in the USB cable. The computer will provide the power.
If you had to flash with the battery out, remove the USB cable and insert the battery, and start the phone. The regular I777 sequence for download mode should now work.
Next, you want to flash the SGH-I777 stock firmware full package. You will find an Odin flashable tar version in the Download Repository. I would suggest that you flash the 4.1.2 UCMD8 version. Once the phone boots, you should be fully working. Now, if you want to root I would suggest you use Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit. Then you can install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro and use it to install a custom kernel followed by custom firmware. Or you can leave your phone unrooted and stock if you prefer.
If you have questions, please ask. I will be traveling out of town later today, so will be away from the computer over night.

2.) This is the complete stock UCMD8 Binaries downloaded from samfirmware at sammobile.com.

The assumption I have been using is that your phone was working normally with no issues until you flashed the I9100 stock firmware and then immediately upon rebooting the buttons failed. If that scenario it's accurate, then it's a pretty good chance, in fact almost a certainty, that the issue is firmware related, and not a hardware failure.
However, if the above is true, then the fix I suggested should have corrected the issue. Since it did not, we need to find where the facts deviate from the above. Look in about phone and report what firmware is currently installed. Then we need to know, would it be before you flashed the I9100 firmware, or during the return to I777 firmware?

OK, try this file:
https://copy.com/knvYJ
It's a flashable zip file that will restore the key libs to their i777 orientation. In the old days it was one of the files we used to rely on when we were manually porting 9100 roms via recovery only.
This should solve your problem... but then again, creepy's method also should have worked! Regardless, try it and let us know.

If the i777ucMD8 Odin flash was a Pass, wonder if a reboot into recovery and Wipe data/factory reset, then reboot...would fix ur problem ?
God morning.
I have a Galaxy S4. I installed safestrap and some custom roms (kept my stock rom). I know want to remove all this and go back to stock. I have done a complete unroot in SuperSU and uninstalled (or so I thought), SafeStrap. However, when I restart my phone, safestrap is still booting and I get a lock on the screen with the word Custom underneath. I want to get rid of all of this and just go back to stock. It's Verizon S4 on MK2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

You can try just uninstalling SafeStrap like any other app you have. Or flash the mk2 stock firmware in Odin.
Going the Odin way would actually be the better and easier way to go most likely. Sometimes the custom screen still lingers even after removing SafeStrap.

The first post in that thread explains what you'll need to do. Its a lot easier than a lot of people think.
- Download the USB drivers to your computer ( I believe they're linked in first post)
- Download the stock firmware zip in 1st post ( either full wipe or no wipe )
-download Odin from 1st post
- extract the .tar file from the firmware zip file
- open up Odin
- make sure you see it shows Device Connect when you plug your phone in
- load that .tar file into the PDA slot in Odin or AP slot depending on the version of Odin .
- make sure Re-Partition is NOT checked.
- hit start and wait for it to finish.
Again that's all said in the op.
