Tried Flashing the stock 2.1 firmware from samsung-firmwares.com and windows crashed. now if i hold the volume up and power button all i get is a :
RST_STAT = 0x1
PWIC_IRQ1 = 0x3c
PWIC_IRQ2 = 0x0
PWIC_IRQ3 = 0x0
PWIC_IRQ4 = 0x0
PWIC_STATUS1 = 0xc0
PWIC_STATUS2 = 0x2c
All Text in ORANGE.
i have tried many different button configurations and that is the only screen that i can get too.
ANy Help Would be greatly appreciated.
Try this.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen (powers on its own when plugged in)
IF the phone screen does 'turn on' after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!
This *should* get you into Download mode. After that you should be able to use Odin to revert to stock, tar and instructions here:

This fixed my 'odd' brick.
OMG THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!!
It worked my case was a little different. it wouldnt show anything up on the screen but i tried it anyway and after about 5 seconds of holding vol + and Vol - and power i released the power button and low and behold the downloading menu came up.
Thanks again.
Glad I could help! I know the terror of thinking your 500$ is now possibly a brick.

according to this i didn't brick it but i can't get it into download mode!
please help! i can't get passed the vibrant screen.
before the "brick", you could enter recovery mode using the volume keys, right? how are you trying to get download mode? i mean, the type of combination you use.
if the phone its hard locked, then you can get a new one.
If not, tell us more what did you do
OK, instead
1. take the battery out
2. Unplug the usb from the phone
3. Open Odin
4. Put the battery back in
5. Hold the volume up and Volume Down
6. Then while holding Volume up and Volume Down
plug the usb wire in
This should get you into dl mode, hopefully... it worked for me
when I got the phone to computer screen.
HOPE IT WORKS if not try again till it does or repeat what the link tells you its the best way I know.
no i had to use the rom manager to get into recovery

Were you ever able to get into the stock recovery? without using ROM manager? How did you originally Root?... If you never could get into recovery using your hardware keys you may have a "keylocked" vibrant and maybe SOL...
BUT, if at anytime you've been able to get into recovery using the Vol +/- & power combo then you are fine.
Do the same steps as listed above, but when the battery Icon comes up keep holding down the key combo while that "battery" is displayed. At 2 to 3 seconds the screen will FLASH BLACK... LET GO OF POWER. You should now be in DL mode. GL!
are you trying to get into Recovery mode or the Download mode?
For recovery mode this works for me,
Remove battery
Install battery
Press and hold vol+/vol-
Press and hold power button
Once you see the Vibrant Screen do not release any of the buttons (vol+/vol- and power buttons) it will go black then back to Vibrant screen, then you release the power button only but keep pressing the vol-/vol+ buttons... this should get you into recovery mode..
For Download mode this helps me,
Remove Battery
Plug in USB cable to phone and computer
Put Battery In.. wait a couple of seconde until it shows the battery being charge..
Press and hold the vol+/vol- and the power button..
This will power up you phone.. once you see the Vibrant screen and it turn black, release the power button only.. this should get you into DL mode (it works for me). good luck.
Running nero 5. My daughter touched my phone and when I saw it it was shutting down and then didn't boot up but instead is on a screen with a yellow yield sign with android sweeping and it says "downloading... do not turn off target!!!"
She must have held the power button, but I have no idea what else she did. Can anyone help me? I have no idea what any of this means.
it looks like she was able to accomplish something that many here have a hard time
Your phone is currently in downloading mode. You can exit it by pressing and holding power until it shuts off. Then press power key once again to start it up. If that doesn't work then make sure USB is not connected and open the back cover take out the battery, wait 10 secs, put the battery back in, close the cover and press power key once to start it up. It should work.
Darn kids! Just follow what VICosPhi said and you should be just fine.
This phone just broke after 3 months of use. Since I brought it off of amazon as unlocked, I do not have warranty on phone. The phone was not dropped nor water-damaged. It was sitting on the table and suddenly experiencing problems with lag. I proceed to turn off and try to restart phone.
The phone does not boot when I press the power button.
What I've tried:
case 1: I removed SD card, removed battery and removed USB cord. Press power button for 10 seconds. Put back battery and press power button
result 1: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
case 2: I called my phone number from another phone
result 2: Straight to voice mail. This indicates the software did not even boot up. Hardware display is not the issue here. Most likely a Software issue.
case 3: I hold volume down key and power key to attempt hard-reset
result 3: LED light on. The phone vibrates 5 times. Remains in black screen
Since I routinely backed up my phone data. Last time I've checked (~4 days ago), the SD card was not nearly full. It was approximately 25% used space.
PLEASE HELP!! YOUR HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED!
Are you able to access any of the service menu's such as bootloader or fastboot mode?
If your not aware what those are, there are many references in this forum for you to find information.

No. The screen was all black. But fortunately, the phone was able to turn on after some trial and error.
You remove the battery and USB cord. Then while pressing (and holding) the home button key, you put back in the battery and press the power button. To hard reset, you must press volume down key, home key, and power key at the same time.
Glad that you got your phone working!
Mine continues to remain dead
I had this problem a few months back at first i too thought the phone was dead - but it did make boot vibration noise - but the screen would always remain "black" but after some time and after going into a very dark room i was able to see that the screen was not black, but that the backlight went out on it -- after having my screen replaced the phone now works fine - think i was using cm7 at the time.. hope this might help
Thanks for this tip! I'll check on the phone I had as well. I got to get it back from my buddy.
Long press power button no longer works for us on the S5 to shutdown or reset the phone.
What to do if you're stuck in a bootloop and need to soft reset so you can get into recovery:
To get into recovery:
Long press power + volume down reboots the phone.
Wait for it to vibrate and immediately switch to volume up + keep holding power + home key.
Once you see 'Recovery Booting' (in dark blue, top left) release the keys.
To get into download mode:
Wait for it to vibrate and immediately press the home key + keep holding power + keep holding volume down.
Timing is a little critical but at least I don't have to pull the battery every time I get stuck testing something and want to get into recovery to fix it.
Ty sir, good to no.

Why is Sammy making it so hard for us to enjoy our phone?
Thank you for the 411 [emoji3]. I was wondering what was going on.

Thanks for this!
I actually just had this problem and had to phone a friend (switched to the S5 this weekend and ran into a boot loop problem while doing some of my final restorations... it's the reason they're last!).
Didn't do this exact thing as I had ended up pulling the battery out when the Power - Volume Up - Home combo hadn't been working for me. If it happens again, I know this is here!
Hello All. I have an AT&T SGH-I337 that was running 4.2 and was rooted. I do not know what I did to this poor thing to make it like this but now when I turn it on, it just says "Samsung" and "unlocked." That is it. Any combination of hard keys results in the same thing:
Volume up and power = "Samsung" and "unlocked."
Volume down and power = "Samsung" and "unlocked."
Volume up, home, and power = "Samsung" and "unlocked."
Volume down, home, and power = "Samsung" and "unlocked."
Volume up, volume down, screaming and shouting, power = "Samsung" and "unlocked."
When I plug it into my computer it does not even recognize I have plugged anything in. Tried running Kies and got the same thing: "plug in device" even though it is plugged in and says "Samsung" and "unlocked."
Can anyone help me get this going again or do I have a really fancy paper weight? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Just keep holding power and volume down even after it vibrates. If it can do enough to load the splash it should still give download mode. In that case you can reflash whatever firmware you had through ODIN.

How long should I hold the buttons? I see me holding the buttons while everyone laughs... :silly:
Thanks for the help, though.
