Hi tehre, i'm having problems to get the phone into the download mode, i'm hoding the vol down key along with the power button, but the only thing i get is the phone showing Samsug vibrant and restarting over and over again.
Am i doing something wrong? I just downloaded an app from the market called wuick boot, i tried selecting the bootlader option, but same thing, the phone just reboots, and i get back to the phone menu.
Any help will be more than apprecciated.
Thanks in advance!
Is your phone rooted? I had the same issue and resorted to just doing it by using a terminal command on my rooted phone.
If you have a terminal app, just do this:
Code:

#reboot download

Just so happens I nearly bricked mine last night. Couldn't even get into recovery mode or see the charging icon when I plugged it in. Here's what I did (after much trial and error):
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
...and that got be from looking like I was dead in the water to download mode and a stock ROM flash.

Glad to help. I thought for sure my phone was bricked until I figured this out.
Work for New Vibrant?
Hey guys, I have a new Vibrant, Im guessing its the new batch of Vibrant because I can't use the volume up+down +power to go into recovery or download mode. I just wonder if this also works for my version of Vibrant because I did a lag fix and it bricked me... Therefore if this works, I would be so happy that I will cry. =( I'll try it anyways, but if anyone have a similar device to mine, please let me know I would love to get some info on it. =( I just needs it to be in Download Mode to flash it with ODIN back to stock. =)
By the way, would you mind telling me what stock rom you use? and software to flash it? Thanks a lot! I appreciate all of your help! Im really desperate to get my phone back to work... its been showing up vibrant screen make a start up sound and go blank... so scary...

Did you remove the sim? Is the phone plugged into a pc via the usb cord? From my experience, the vibrant will only go into download mode if it's plugged to a pc.
I think I also got the new batch of vibrant. Maybe we should get a list of release date and serial of the phone. Maybe we might be able to figure out which phone can or can not use the vol down + power. Mine is 8/13/2010 rs 170-0412

I will try that as soon as I get the phone back. My cousin has it now and he's trying to look for methods to help me fix it too. =( So i will go get the phone soon and try your methods of removing everything. I just wanted to ask you guys to see if you guys had that recovery mode function (volume up _ volume down +power) disabled by T-Mobile. Because if all of you guys have the new batch of Vibrant then most likely mine will have a chance too. =) But thanks for the reply and the tip I will definitely follow all of your instruction and update further about this case. Hopefully it would work with your methods for the new vibrant batch. No one here seem to post much threads about the new batch.

Yeah I definitely got the new batch since I cant use that recovery mode function like everyone else here does. I also got mine in August, 8/28/10. I dont have the box and phone to see the serial right now since it was taken to my cousin house to try and figure out a way to get it into download mode. =( But from the looks of it, anything from August is disabled... wonder hows the July one. My brother has a Vibrant from late July, which is July 23, 2010 and his recovery mode isn't disable at all. =(
I had the same problem last night... thought I bricked... my phone was stuck at the vibrant screen.. and my phone is the newer model.... but I still figured out a way to get it to let me send an ADB command.. I posted a guide in the android dev section... let me know if that helps...

To get in recovery mode i have to hold the power button and the up vol until the vibrant screen comes on and goes out, then you SLIDE and hold both vols when the vibrant screen comes up (for the second time) you SLIDE to the vol down and let go of the power button. I did 5 times in a row to make sure this works. Hope this will help somone

I have another story. I bricked my Vibrant trying to go back to stock using Odin it hung on a step. The brick to where the (Cell Phone ! Computer) comes up. After 30 minutes of panic trying to get my phone to go into download mode. I opened Kies mini, unplugged my USB connector plugged it into a new USB slot then hooked up my Vibrant and re installed the drivers. It found it. But I still couldn't do anything. So then I closed Odin reopened it unplugged and then re plugged my Vibrant back in. It found it on a COM port so then I tried a restore from there and it let me do it. Wow! I am amazed at how hard it is to permanently brick this phone.
Hi everyone, i need ur help please. I have a t-mobile vibrant (sgh-t959). I tried the CM on it. After installing the su kernel, it bricked. Now it keeps rebooting with the samsung galaxy s gt-I9000 screen (the vibrant screen no longer comes up). I can't even get to download mode by pressing vol up + vol down + pwr buttons. Please help me. I m kinda desperate ...

Although I didn't have the exact same problem, I had a very similar problem. The above link will give you more details about the problem I was having and how I solved it (thanks to click1's suggestion).
I could not get into download mode no matter what sequence of keys I pressed and my phone hanged on the "samsung vibrant" screen. IF your phone is detected by Odin or the computer when you plug it in (doesn't have to be in download mode and your computer doesn't have to be able to show you the usb drives - just as long as there is a confirmation that a usb was connected is enough), then Android SDK will help you force the phone into download mode.
If this doesn't work, your next bet is to physically make a JIG for it:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
From what I have read, this last one physically forces the phone to go into download mode by using the 5th pin on the MicroUSB key.
I know how you feel - I just got my fixed last night and my problem seemed very unique, I wish I could offer more help but I hope these will work for you.
Thank you very much. It finally came back to life. Feel so much better now!
downnload mode, I hold both volume buttons in and connect the usb and it I get into download mode everytime

the newer vibrants are hardware locked so you can't get into download mode that way. This is why you have to use the SDK to do it.

Does this mean if the sdk will not recognize that the device is connected then i have to make this JIG Thing? because my phone is stuck at the connect phone to pc screen.

Yes, make it or buy one. I know who sells them for a VERY reasonable price. If you're interested Pm me for more info.
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,
Solution...
Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone so I can go back to the basics of flashing I hope, I am going to give it a try to see what happens

No...being the noob that I am, I'm constantly finding new ways to brick my phone. So tonight, I bricked it with the phone to PC screen. ADB can't detect it and neither can odin. This is FIXABLE, I tried the method here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771247
Method 3 worked for me. Even if you have a hardware locked phone, I think there is a method around this which involves taking the battery out and putting it back in but I don't remember where I read this in the forums....I know I did read it though, you have to search to find it. Try these before you resort to making the JIG.
So I already posted in both threads similar to mine I'm posting now, but those problems seem to be different from the problem I'm having.
So everyone says to do the emergency "power on with volume up held down"
But mine never powers off. The Boot loop goes from the boot loop sequence, and if I force it off it goes to "Entering Upload Mode: Cause Unknown". Forcing that off it immediately boots into the boot loop. So I can never shut it off, so I can never enter the emergency "hard reset" mode, because the device never shuts off. Eventually the battery dies, but the hard reset doesn't worth then either.
Does anyone know how to use the upload mode? The link to a samsung driver in the other thread is now a broken link. And once I'm able to write data to the device, where do I get the right set of android hard reset files?
I have no data on the device I need.
I have a very similar situation. Since yesterday my tab got caught in a boot loop. Didn't made any changes, just went into it. And the only way to turn it off is to force it to go to download mode and turn it off down by holding power button from there. I have rooted it a long time ago. I can't get into recovery mode by holding power+up. All I can get it the download mode that first says "waiting for usb cable" and if I connect it to the PC it goes to "press the [START] of Odin3". Do I need to try the fastboot method and reset it to factory details? I've being trying to do that but no devices were listed... Or do I need to reflash something with oding again? Please, just give me a tip.

i just want to flash stock rom. i'v tried flashing a custom rom. but something went wrong and now i have this problem. hope somebody can help me.
If you're using a windows machine reinstall the drivers and see if that helps get past the problem. If you need links I have to get on my PC an copy and paste from there. Keep us updated. I've been there done that I think. So I hope I can help.

What drivers? I've never installed any drivers of any kind, nor does my manual mention the need for drivers?
What is Odin, and why have I never heard of it? Why can't I find a download link for Odin?
Also, why can't I find any information about Odin?
This is the best I can find, but it appears to not be the maker.... http://www.rootingdroid.com/246/flash-your-samsung-with-odin-download-odin/
The instructions on that page:
" Using your data cable, connect your Android device to your computer. Turn off your mobile device for 30 seconds then power it up by pressing and holding HOME, POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you will be prompted that you have entered in download mode."
I finally got into download mode! I had to connect the USB cable to the device. However, the copy of Odin3 I found is just a giant box with blank text fields. I have no idea what I'm doing with it. It did not auto detect my device, and I have no idea what firmware version I currently am using because I can't get the device to boot.
Well, my phone cant enter in this modes, but the problem its that also cant enter to the system, i can only see the logo of samsung and then the screen turn off, I dont know what to do, because I cant use the odin because I cant enter in download mode, I dont know if there is a button to hard reset the phone. I was trying to put a rom of ics but i believe that the firmware was wrong for my phone. please help me.
Sounds like you flashed something in Odin that was not for your phone. You probably need to get it J-tagged to get it fixed. Check out mobiletechvideos.com
It's like $50 dollars for the service, they'll J-tag your phone and flash the correct bootloader.

Since the phone will turn on, and initiate the boot process, it should be able to recover it yourself. Jtag is for true hard bricks, which your phone is NOT.
Please give a full description of what led up to your problem. What firmware was on the phone before, what did you attempt to flash, and anything that you can think of that would provide any additional information for trouble shooting. Also, a link to the firmware you tried to flash.

I put my i777 on download mode by removing the battery and putting it back. Hold the volume button down and connect the USB charger wait for the buttons to flash and disconnect the charger while holding the volume down button. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
If the above works to get into download mode, do the following:
Download the I777 secondary bootloader .tar from the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Unplug the phone (to shut off)
Open Odin v1.85 on screen of pc.
Enter download mode as above.
When connected put the secondary bootloader in the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

I just recently got my SGS2 (i777) and decided to root it. Unfortunately I got the root from another site (dumb move) and today the phone went into a reboot loop. I can connect it and get it into download mode, but everytime I try to flash back to the stock rom, or anything else (bootloader) Odin says connection failed, unable to open COM Port. I know it connects because it installs the drivers for the phone. Can someone MUCH smarter that me assist with this one?

can you interrupt the bootloop by trying to get to recovery (holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER until recovery menu appears) and then go to backup-restore and restore a backup? That's what I would try. IF that does not work, I would reinstall the drivers for andoid on your pc --even though you had them working (presumably) once before. After reinstalling the drivers then odin should (may!) see the phone and work.
good luck
Hey,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 GT-i9300 that wont boot up (it only shows the samsung logo).
Ive rebooted, removed the battery but no success. The only thing that works is download mode. It is still stock (not rooted).

If you flash a official release from sammobile it should not increase your binary count, thus leaving your warranty intact. It is when you root or flash a custom Rom your binary will increase.
Worst case you need to use triangleaway if counter increases

If anyone's interested, I had to return the phone under warranty where they replaced the main PBA.
The combination to get to recovery is this (for future reference)
Vol-up + home + power button. Once galaxy s 3 logo pops up quickly let go of the power button and hold in again then let all three go once in recovery.

You guy´s soft bricked your phones thats why u dont get any where re-flashing, but heres something worth trying without risking anything!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JUST GET YOUR SAMMY STOCK ROM FIRST FROM THEIR SITE
Use this Odin version >android.gs/download-odin-1-85/.
Above the country code and you can know the three-letter code which applies to your country. Now look for the date of release and select an appropriate update release for your phone.
Step-4 Rebooting
Reboot by holding Home, Volume Down and Power buttons. Remember you need to hold the Volume Down button and not the Volume Up button as in the first step. You will get into the download mode. So, you phone is now ready to get the firmware via USB.
The phone will flash a warning about the dangers involved. You should not worry as you are putting the firmware back on the phone.
On the computer, now unzip the Samsung firmware folder you downloaded from the official website. Now extract the .md5 file.
Now open Odin, select.md5 file in the 'PDA' section of Odin.
Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked.
Connect your Galaxy S3 to your computer via the USB lead. Odin will automatically detect the phone and a pop-up message will show. Now start the process of transferring the file.
Step-5
Wait for the file to download. Odin will show 'PASS!' in the box once the transfer is successful. And the phone will then, reboot.
If it hangs on the Samsung logo, don't worry reboot into the recovery mode by holding down Home, Volume Up and Power buttons. Wipe the data/factory reset and reboot.
This will in all chances bring your phone to a functioning mode. Sign in and start working.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extent of you phone being bricked may vary, but the symptoms are often the same -- a reboot loop, switching itself off after the Samsung logo or never getting into the operating system. As long as you can get into the recovery mode, there is hope to recover the Samsung Galaxy S3,
no success
Hi guys,
your solutions are great but in my case it didnt help at all.
My phone still stucks at logo. Only download mode is possible, but odin wanted a pit file always when i tried to download the sammy firmware rom. After all i even downloaded the pit file GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit. But even with the pitfile and Re-Partitioning it didnt function at all.
My SGS3 T-Mobile can not start at all.
PLEASE HELP ME, i am helpless.
with best regards
