First off, this is the wrong forum to post in. You should delete and move to the Q&A sub-forum for a better response.
That being said, how about a little more information? What ROM did you try and flash? What ROM were you coming from? Did you make a backup before you flashed?
Every little bit of info helps.
edit: damn it, beat me to it, but i typed it so it's staying!
Ok sorry for lack of info. I flashed from bionix 1.3 to stock. I tried flashin again to no prevail. Still no data connection and can't lget into download mode for odin. Any advice

May be useful if experiencing no data connection
Quick question,
After flashing rom, during reboot. Did your phone seem to be stuck in a boot loop? If so, did you pull the battery and do a hard reset or interrupted the reboot after flash at all?
Also, have you checked all your access point setting and ensured they are all correct?
Worse case senrio, flash back to a stock rom, then try and reflash rom again. If there was anytype of interruption during initial flashing, reflashing the same rom usually will not correct the problem.
This may not be the case for all, but it is a problem I ran into.
To get into download mode, try pulling battery. Hold down both up and down volume buttons, while still holding down volume buttons plug in USB that is connected to ur USB. Then after USB is plugged in, put ur battery back in. Remember, the entire time ur still holding down the two volume buttons.
Also, if using windows 7 with Odin, ensure you reboot windows 7 into the 'turn off digital signatures...' or whatever the name of the boot option. This can be done usually by pressing F8 in the BIOS. It is listed in the same boot menu as the safe mode option. If not Odin will usually freeze on cache.rfs(?), or whatever the name of the file.
Hope this is somewhat useful. Shoot me a message if you have any questions.

Thread moved to Q&A.
I've tried the apn and it's all correct. As for the Odin thing the computer sees the phone when on bit not when off with the two button combo so when I plug in the cable it goes straight to charge screen instead
under settings, and about phone, what does your Modem Baseband say?
I had an issue last night (ultimately killed my vibrant) where my Modem Baseband said "Unknown"
I was working on this:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7504-odin-flash-loses-your-unlockfreeze-code/
I was on JI5, phone started rebooting when trying to pull a signal. Flashed JP3, said I had a JFD Modem. ODIN w/ repart to JFD, Modem Unknown with reboots. Went to flash JI2 Modem, and forgot I had repart checked.
So, it repartitioned the phone, cleared the efs, and only flashed a modem.
Needless to say..doesn't turn on now.
Replacement will be here mid-next week.
So i was able to enter download mode from abd and used odin to flash JFD back on to the phone. Phone is working great now
ok so i know how to do things on my vibrant but dont really know exactly how the phone does things (basically im a directions follower) so im going to try to be as precise as possible
my phone has been rooted for a while and ive been experimenting with a bunch of roms. i decided to flash TWs nero v3 w/voodoo and i was pretty sure id stick with that for a while but some of my games started having issues so i decided to flash the newest axura. now something told me that i needed to disable voodoo first and there is usually a voodoo submenu in CW recovery but there wasnt so i figured it was disabled already
so i flashed it and everything was going well untill my screen went blank
now my phone acts like there is no battery in it
ive tried any button combinations with charger in (wall or computer) or out.
no matter what my screen stays blank...plz help
im not exactly in a situation to just buy a new phone.
Unplug the phone from the charger. take your battery out for at least 15 seconds. plug the phone to your computer via usb. while holding both vol+/-, not power, put the battery back in. you should be in download mode.
use odin to flash a stock rom.
this all should work if you have the samsung drivers installed on your comp.
Go to this link it should help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737&highlight=bricked+phone
btw i followed what both above said and neither worked for me =/
thanx for ur suggestions though
Ive seen alot of these post lately and all were on nerov3 .

Well I guess that your best bet would be modifying the usb charger with resistors. as stated in the link that jewbrad suggested. A similar thing happened to my phone when I tried to go back to stock from nero, but instead of a blank screen, I got a small icon of a pc and phone with a triangle in between. The method that I posted did the trick. Maybe you should try it again and check odin to see if it recognizes your device, even if the phone might look like its off.

Have you tried having odin open on you pc and loaded with eugene's froyo that doesnt brick then with your phone turned off(pull the battery then put it back in) now hold the volume keys up and down at the same time then plug your usb cord that is plugged into your pc into your phone this should get you into downlod mode. If this workes flash it and let odin do its thing after its done running it will reboot and go to a recovery screen then it will try to boot up ounce you see the i9000 screen you can pull the battery again and get it back into download mode the same way you did before and then flash the stock vibrant rom tar file and pit. I dont know if this will work but it cant hurt I know how it is not having your phone working so hope this helps
Same thing happend to me.
Please let me know if you get it fixed.
I was on Nero V3 trying to reflash because GPS didn't work well.
i got in to boot loop so i tried to get back to stock and re-do it,
and this happened.
I took it tmobile and claimed the ota broke it..they sent me a new one
NVM!! link posted by jewbrad had No-Boot phone instruction, and it worked!!!
Oh lucky...I tried that n it failed
I was trying to revert my wifes phone to stock and odin would not work. I used heimdell with the wrong file. The phone now has a i9000 interface. I cant call or text because it wants a sim card which obviously is impossible. and I cant get it in download mode to put the Fascinate interface back on it. Im an idiot!

hey,
chill, user error happens. I know your wife probably can't see that right now but....
one time I did the same thing, sorta, and bricked and couldn't get into download mode. I couldn't get the phone to do anything, not even the charging animation. that is how you know its bricked.
it sat there unplugged and without a battery or sdcard for about 20 hours lifeless. I was in the process of ordering a new phone through insurance when I decided to hold my volume button down, plugged in and it was great!
once you get to this point, and you will if your phone is turning on at all its not bricked, then you will need to follow instructions for repartition like your coming off cm7mtd using a FULL BUILD like DI14 (I have a mesmerize so I'm not positive your full builds) with repartition checked using the atlas_2.2.pit file.
if that didn't work at all for you, there is a way to force download mode, using a homemade jig. google for galaxy s download mode jig if that's your only option.
good luck, and please do let us know how it goes for you. I've never used heimdall but its pretty similar to odin from what I've seen so that would probably work as well. if you're not sure if the rom you have for heimdall is a full build, open it with winrar/winzip our whatever and count how many files are inside, for me its 8 I think with full mesmerize build but we are missing one file that the fascinate build has I believe.

perhaps if download mode is busted you could flash a fascinate rom after rooting and then boot to recovery and try flashing something a little closer to home like one of the pick n packs for the mesmerize...
but this would be one of the last things I would try, right before the homemade jig.

Are you sure you're using the right button press for i9000? Like the guy above said try Vol button down and plug in.
Agh!
I recently rooted my SGH-I777, flashed it using Clockword Mod Recovery, and then rebooted into recovery using CWM. But instead of rebooting into the recovery menu, everything went black. Now my phone won't reboot into recovery mode at all (not even with the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power combo). Instead, it gives me the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 startup screen with the yellow triangle and then the screen goes all black, with quick flashes of dark gray.
When I removed the battery (to get it out of the black screen loop), returned the battery to the device, and plugged it in (without powering up the phone), the "charging" screen with the charging battery indicator flashed on the screen for a moment, and then back to all black flashes.
I removed the battery, SD card, and SIM card for about 20 minutes because I've read that can sometimes help. No dice.
I'm running ICS 4.0.3 with a Siyah 3.4.2 kernel.
This is probably either really bad or no big deal and I'm lame for not figuring it out, but... HELP! (Please? :fingers-crossed: ) I know this has been asked, but the other threads I've found have been able to get to recovery mode, whereas I can't seem to get to that point.
If you need any other info, let me know!

The phone is not even entertaining the idea of giving me a menu of any sort at this point. Just all black screens. Super frustrating.

No d/l mode, no CWM. = brick.
no offense but im pretty sure your just not holding the buttons right.
CWM= hold both vol, then hold power, let the first screen blink once, come back, then let off power is my trick.
download, you can just hold vol buttons and insert USB belive.
Somebody used rom manager!

A-ha! Ok, so definitely no on the CWM combo, but I do get a menu using DL mode. Thank you. Seeing at least a menu made me feel much better.
I re-flashed the initial kernel, but no change. Still stuck in perpetual black screen boot loop.
I'm not opposed to doing a full-fledged wipe using Odin, if that's an option, but I've never looked into it before, and I'm currently feeling pretty gun shy when it comes to getting creative with any new tricks.

If you want stock, flash a stock ROM, or stock with root, with Odin.
If you want custom, after you flashed that custom kernel, you CAN get into CWM and flash a custom ROM.
and NEVER use ROM manager, hell it was a joke when it came out, sorry koush
EDIT:
and if you do go custom, dont forget to wipe data/factory reset in CWM before flashing.

You rock. Thank you a ton for being so patient!!
To any other fool who gets into the same mess, I went into DL mode (volume up + volume dwn + usb attached) and opted to let this do the rest of the work because it was the only option that didn't give me a heart attack: androidarea51.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii/samsung-galaxy-sii-(sgh-i777)-att-only/
From there, I had the option of rebooting, initializing a factory reset... all of the menu options I wasn't seeing when I couldn't figure out how to get into CWM mode. Good luck!!

I know, I know (and this is a dumb excuse, much like using rom manager in the first place), but the tutorial I was reading made it seem like it was a good option. I hadn't used it in forever and logic coupled with faith in a perpetually broken system paves the road to hell, but I figured, "There's no way it still sucks as badly as I remember!"
Don't think that. Ever. My mistake.
Charge the baterry externally thats what I did when my old infuse was bricked

Samsung Galaxy s2 i-777 does not turn on
okay so I read through this thread and I still don't know how to fix my issue. I rooted my phone using Odin v 1.85 and used siyah 3.4.2. I did it successfully and everything was good. I then gave the phone to my cousin and he said he performed a factory reset to get rid of everything on the phone ( contacts ,etc). Now when I turn on the phone it shows the samsung galaxy display with the triangle and then the screen goes black and just blinks. It still goes back into download mode I just dont know what to do to fix the problem. I know I'm a noob but please HELP!!!

Have you tried flashing back to stock using odin? BTW it is not good etiquette to necro a thread that has been dormant for almost 9 months.
hi
I need help with my new Samsung galaxy Sii GT-i9100. the phone comes with a stock android gingerbread os. I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.
please help

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..
Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.

First off, chill out.
Then read this and try some of the possible fixes.
If nothing works, come back and we'll tell you what to do so you can get a new phone claiming warranty.

my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..
Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..
After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...
If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..
Press thanx if I helped...
