Is it like this if yes may be ur phone is bricked
The color of the triangle is
either red or yellow. Yellow means something
crashed or the kernel panicked. Red normally
indicates corrupted firmware, corrupted ROM
or no operating system

Yeah thats exactly how it is, and it stayed like that for quite some time, I rebooted my phone and it seems fine now, it done it after it asked me to load up clockwork mod or twrp when I opened supersu I think it was that, it gave me two options it said normalon the left and cwm or twrp ob tthe right so I clicked the cwm twrp button, I dont even know if I have any them running properly, thanks for the reply.

My problem is that I had no idea that i9000 and Fascinate are complete diffrent firmwares. I flashed the 2.2 i9000 onto my Fascinate, I didn't find out this was a huge FUBAR until after the phone wasn't turning on and then I did some extensive searching. So now flashed the CWMRecovery and then the Stock-i500 files. Except for the Recovery file which fails when I try to run it on Odin... I'm completely lost. If anyone knows if it's possible to fix my phone, I would appreciate the help
its bricked. is it still under warranty? tell them it froze and wont turn on. are u stuck in a boot loop?
It was.. it would try to boot up into i9000 then the regular Samsung logo and then I'd get a blue pixelated mess... now when I hit the power buitton there's a cell phone and PC picture with a triangled exclamation mark in the center.

Sounds like it wants to be hooked back up, like it's not out of download mode. That's happened to me when I've unplugged the USB cable when it wasn't expecting me to. Dunno, there is a thread here somewhere about flashing the wrong image, then flashing an intermediary image, then the VZW image and getting things back. Not sure if it applies here, though... Good luck...
Boot in Download mode again
Dont Use Samsung MicroUSB Cable use any Good Quality MicroUSB instead
Flash the Clockwory Kernal and Recovery using ODIN
Copy ClockworkMod Recovery in update.zip format to SDCard
Boot into Recovery in Default Samsung Recovery Apply Update this will take you to clockwork
Flash any Compatible Clean ROM and you are in business,For me this Worked
You see the cable / triangle icon, it means your flash failed to take, and was incomplete. You need to re-flash, start with the kernel. I would use the CWM kernel as mentioned. If that fails let us know.
The only real thing you can do to "brick" this phone is to overwrite bml12 (modem.bin). For example, if you flashed anything with the "phone" box in odin, that will kill your modem. Other than that it will take a little work, but it's all recoverable.
Ok. For one, i have posted warnings all over the place to not do what you did.
And two, if what you flashed an Odin restore file with a modem in it, you will no longer have a working phone. We don't have a way to fix it. Sorry dude, best bet is to take it back to verizon and beg for a warranty replacement. If you are at the phone and computer icon right now, i would just leave it and take it into vzw like that.

Yeah. Problem is this isn't the first site I went to. There were no warnings in the other guides... Just said "Upgrade Galaxy S to 2.2" It never mentioned it was only for the i9000 model... I've learned my lesson tho. Luckily my buddy works at Verizon and I don't have to jump through rings of fire to get a replacement. Thanks everyone

Yeah, like put it in a microwave. Which I'm going to do with you shortly if you keep it up. I can always cancel that $97 during my free trial, you know..
Anyone else booting Ace sees top left corner being blue when screen enters the brand name screen? And it will turn green if I'm rebooting to recovery.. Someone knows what that means?
I think it's just a feature of CF-Root because I never got this before flashing CF-Root, now I do

it means that u have CF-Root kernel on your ace
It is? I thought I remembered having that on 2.2.1, didn't think it's the kernel.

Things never messed up for me so maybe my memory messed up instead
It's the indicator for an installed CF-Root Kernel. Used to be a small text under the Samsung Logo, but got changed soon after into the coloured corner.
As people said, it's a indicator. If switch into the recovery mode it will turn green.
I have been on Simply Stock for awhilenow and wanted to try MIUI. I odin back to stock and after that my screen is black. I cant get into DL mode either. HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you tried using a download jig? It may help
My phone wouldn't turn on at all once, I mean NO LIFE AT ALL! I thought I was screwed but I kept trying Download mode and eventually counted out in my head about how long it normally took the phone to boot and time when I would normally let go of the power button. I was amazed but it werked! I can't remember but I don't think I even saw the yellow triangle with the shoveling android. I mean the phone was totally dead to the world. The only way I knew I was in download mode was that it connected to ODIN and I saw the little yellow bar.
Good luck!

I dont know man thats all I have been doing now for a solid day is trying to get this damn phone into download mode. I need help soooooo bad too!!!!!!!!
I know how it feels. I black screen bricked my device on the first day I owned it. Rooted, flashed some ROMs, then black screen brick...
I came up with the Vibrant UnBrickable Mod just a couple of weeks ago. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277056
This mod lets you upload "Download Mode" from any situation. Give it a try, or send it in for JTAG. If you need help, send me a PM.
Hi guys ok so ive just rooted and put a new rom on my s3 but it keeps rebooting and rebooting after a couple of minutes
On the reboot on the galaxy s3 screen gt19300 screen i now notice theres a little orange like and ! , ???? does anyone know what that is and has it got something to do with the constant crashing?
Thanks
It means that you've flashed a custom ROM/kernel/recovery (via Odin, for example). You can get rid of it with TriangleAway if it bothers you, but it has nothing to do with your problem.
ah right put my mind at ease many thanks for your help i appreciate it

This is not true I don't believe. I flashed CF ROOT via Odin and I never got a Triangle at all and the OP did not mention there was a "triangle" at all either, he said there was a little "orange light" and the triangle is not orange anyways... Its yellow.
OP... DO you have a triangle on your screen with an exclamation mark in the center of it OR are you getting just an exclamation mark on the screen and an orange light from your LED? If that is the case then the device may be telling you there is something wrong with it and that could be the reason it continues to crash.
Please be clear about what is happening and lets see if we can help you. I HOPE it IS just the Triangle though for your sake.
Also... What carrier are you with and are you sure your device IS the I9300 version? Is it possible that you have a "carrier branded" device and have tried to flash an I9300 ROM onto it?
Hi my process of root and installation gone very bad. now my mobile does not power up by itself but only when its connected with PC via USB cable it flashes intermittently, please see the attached photo.
How it happens:
1. SG II was okay and functional so i entered into recovery mode and did wipe clean of data and then cache.
2. Entered into download mode and tried Odin and install custom Rom but there were few rejected attempt.
3. Odin was terminated and mobile battery removed to try again
4. It shown me "software update failed logo" plz see image i uploaded.
5. my phone still connectable with Odin, so i flashed it with "MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5.tar" as we found it in one forum to fix this error message.
6. Took battery out and this boot-loop stuck on my mobile. (See the first image uploaded, its kind of screen saver as this logo keep going on n off)
Odin 3 does not register it connected on my PC, i cannot enter into recovery or download mode.
Please, let me know if anyone got idea to fix it, will appreciate lot, as after 3-4 hours search through numerous forums and pages, i am frustrated.
Pictures uploaded to show my case are searched online to be close enough but they represent same problem.
Regards
Sunny

That's forced download, get a stock ROM meant for your device and flash it via odin.
Now that I think about it the only thing I saw was the pic you posted so I dunno if your pc sees your device.
if it does, cool.
If it doesn't try another cable/port/pc/re install kies and on and on. Check the last page of the phistachio thread about unbricking, there's a lot of guys with that exact problem.
PS: I didn't want to edit it either so I kept typing. Crazy.

Since it's showing you that forced download screen (it's the device's way to beg you to flash something because as it for now, nothing is working for it) I can tell you that is not THAT bricked just yet. You just need your pc to see it.
Try other Odin versions and make sure you get the right ROM for your device.
BTW, are you sure it's a I9100G device? did you check under the battery?
Before i started wiping and cleaning it, i made note of its model no, baseband etc ...so all that info is right.
Also, to give you better idea, this mobile current state is this one attached again..it keep flashing this screen info when connected with laptop otherwise it stays blank.

Oh, sorry, now I remember. It was when you flashed something from other site.
So, no DL mode? 100% sure? usb jig is your next step then.
