Grey Battery Icon after mistaken odin flash

Ok so I feel like a complet dumb A$$!
I'm not a noob at these things but somehow (whilst under the influence) I managed to flash a att odim rom over top of the t-mobile vibrant! So now when it powers on it shows the att world phone splash, goes to black then loops.
I've tried just about everything I (already knew) and looked up here to get the frappin thing back into download mode, and it just keeps giving me (when the usb is plugged into the pc or battery charger) a spinny logo, followed by a grey (not green) battery icon, then black screen, then repeat.
Am I screwed?
I tried replacing the battery, doing the 3 button recovery, 3 button download, etc..
I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm disparate, and thought the gods of this board could help!

Open Odin and then hold the volume buttons and plug your usb cord into the phone. That should get you into download mode. Go find the .pit and .tar files for JFD and and flash them through Odin you should be safely back in your phone at that point.

Although since you flash an ATT rom into a tmobile phone your bootloader could be messed up. Im not actually sure about that at all though. Just seems possible and logical.

Yea - you may have messed the boot loader.
I would suggest buying a Jig.
A thought:
If you loaded a different brand ROM the vibrant way of entering download mode will not work anymore - maybe look up how that phone enters download and try?
Another thought -
Ive had it where I wasn't in "download mode" but Odin saw the ROM COM port. I flashed anyway (desperate) and it worked. (Id try the Jig first)

Find out how to go in download mode for att captivate..
Try those button methods because that's to only thing that'll work for you.
No jig can save you

Hey guys sorry for the late reply! Not long after I posted it I found the youtube bideo of the "jig", best $3 I've spent at radio shack!
Here are some pics..

Why the hell are you using the pit file and re-partition? Who even said that was neccessary?
Lite'ning installation guide said:
Make sure that in Odin nothing is checked, except the "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checkboxes.

Uh oh! Won't help you now, but all the guides I've ever read say that you should almost *never* need to check the re-partition option, and if you think you do, go back and triple-check.
EDIT: Bear in mind I'm no expert, so you might wanna ignore this, but all I can think of suggesting is perhaps flashing a ROM which *does* need the re-partition option, like in http://androidflip.com/install-android-234-gingerbread-update-samsung-galaxy-2/
That said, this is assuming your phone isn't so screwed that you can't get it to download another ROM...

this pic is in stock ROM xxxkg3 !!
i didnt check re-part while flashing litening roms !

So what state is it currently in? Is it hanging on boot up, can you still get to the download option on the phone (vol-down, home key, and power key)?

firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in kies & try again !!
my phone stoped in this situation ! what is this ? in kies - recovery mode it wanna
a recovery code ! where can i get this damn code to recover my phone to health ??
can go to downloading mode but i cant go to recovery mode to wipe cache !!

plug the phone into pc and open kies, and there is an option for "emergency firmware recovery" option in the later versions.
have you tried to flash an older rom (without re-partition or pit!!) via Odin?

Just flash a stock rom in while in download mode (as you say you can boot into it with voldown-home-power combo), then after the reboot go to recovery and factory reset.
After that all should be safe.
You might want to try another version with repartitioning to get back properly.
I9100XXKG1 (https://hotfile.com/dl/123505846/5faca77/I9100XXKG1.rar.html) downloaded from samfirmware should work, never failed for me.
Sidenote: with the stock roms (3 files + .pit file) that contain the user_low_ship it is rather save to repartition (although there are a very few roms that don't work/flash properly but reflashing another rom fixed it), did that myself over 10 times to get full performance back again while flashing to often between several custom roms.
Just keep in mind, if you still can get to the download mode it isn't fully bricked, but just soft-bricked, and that last one can be fixed

Don't forget to reboot phone or pull battery. Once a flash fails you need to restart phone and put back into download mode. Otherwise it will not accept any flashes and keep failing. Remove repartition check as well

[Q] Bricked i9505 Can not go into recovery and Cannot flash stock firmware.

I'm all LG guy, so appoligize in advance with stupid methods Samsung devices have to follow for the rom flashing/installation. I have flashed a number of Samsung Android phones in the past using Odin so I know how that works.
A friend of mine got his i9505 16-GB failing to boot while being stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 logo screen. When I tried to put it into stock recovery so I may factory reset, it was always stuck at Blue text of Booting Recovery.
I followed word-by-word of this guide to flash a stock firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
I even have the i9505 pit file from the downloads in the same guide above. I'm using Odin 3.07 and I have even used 3.09 and 3.10, all give me same results.
As PDA, I am using I9505XXUGNH8_I9505OJVFNG1_I9505XXUGNH8_HOME.tar (As his phone came with Saudi Arabia. Also, the phone was running stock firmware)
The process terminates at
Code:
Re-Partition Operation Failed
As PDA, I am using I9505XXUGNH8_I9505OJVFNG1_I9505XXUGNH8_HOME.tar (As his phone came with Saudi Arabia. Also, the phone was running stock firmware)
And on my phone screen, I get:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
I have used Original Samsung Cable, result is the same. I have used even my LG G2's USB Cable, result is still the same. Odin always fails after the "Re-Partition Operation Failed" Error.
If I try to flash it without pit file, it says "There is no PIT Partition".

If the not being able to boot happened suddenly, then it's probably a hardware failure.

Try installing Kies on your computer. It will install latest drivers. Then close Kies and Kies agent in your processes.
Use another USB port on your computer. Remove battery of your phone for 10s.
Then try again.
I had also the same warning so I doubt there's a hardware failure. If it were, you'd probably be unable to go into download mode.

Stuck on emergency recovery screen T-380

Hi everyone. While I was attempting to root my tablet I ran in to a problem. It turned out since I had updated to 8.1 it had an RMM state that's prenormal, which makes it impossible to root. I found a guide to use Miracle Box to downgrade it to 7.1 where I'd be able to root. However in this process when I saw Miracle Box was done I decided to unplug the tablet. Well it turns out the tablet was still loading it, so unplugging it caused an error. Now whenever it boots up I'm stuck on the error screen which says to use the emergency recovery mode on smart switch. Well, smart switch won't find my device. Neither will kies. I've tried downloading 2 different stock roms for my exact device and using odin to install them, but I get an error on odin and it fails. I have tried two different versions of odin too, 3.12 and 3.13.

Here's the log and error I'm getting.

I have no idea what else to do here to get my device back in usable state. Please help!

What error are you getting? There is no picture of your tablet or the error. Also did you try patched Odin? If SmartSwitch won't recognize it do you have the samsung USB drivers installed from here? https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html

Custom Binary (SYSTEM) Blocked by OEM lock

hey guys i recently had an update on my s10+ and mid through the update the phone just powered off(it was plugged to the charger) and since then ive been stuck on a blue screen saying i have to use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc app so i downloaded the app and tried to do that but the app wont recognize my phone. i searched all over the internet i tried flashing with odin a previous version and even the version it was trying to update to but it all failed. it gets stuck around 50% through the install and just sits there for hours without continuing. i am hopeless and have no idea what else i can do i even took the phone to a repair shop and they also failed to fix this problem. my last resort would be changing motherboard but i doubt its worth it. anyone has ideas what else i can do in order to fix this issue?

Not sure if you've tried this but maybe it will work...
1) Hold bixby, volume down and while holding these, put the usb-c cable in the s10 when connected to the PC. This will (hopefully) get you into download mode if the other method fails
2)If Odin is still recognizing your phone, you have hope.
3)Make sure you use the latest version of Odin. I have previously tried to flash a new firmware with an old Odin and failed
4)Once you have the right Odin, try flash the latest stock firmware you can find. You may not be able to downgrade once upgraded
