I ve read that those replacement new vibrants with hardware keys disabled wont get in to download mode once you are stuck on that computer and the phone icon screen. There is no way to get out of it am i right?
anyone?....
I replaced my phone because of that and I couldn't get it back to download mode.

I guess you just answered your own question.
Really, though, this question has been answered a hundred times on this very forum. Maybe people are tired of new threads popping up constantly asking other people to take time to do research for people that obviously can't be bothered to do it for themselves. Search first, then ask if you can't find an answer...preferably in a relevant existing thread instead of creating 10 new ones. The other users of this forum aren't here to be your free research monkeys.
...and again, insulting people isn't going to make them want to help you. If you want people to be friendly and considerate you need to give that back...it's a 2-way street. Nobody here is being paid.
*prepares to be flamed by the OP...again*
If you have root then you can use adb to get into download mode by typing "reboot download mode", if you don't have root then you can't use adb.

are you retarded???
you obviously share the same sickness as the OP "cantgoogleshitaphobia"
you can too use adb without root, how do you think people locked out of hardware recovery are even getting rooted in the first place? (and dont say one click root cause if you knew anything then youd also know that program uses adb as well)
the only thing you have to do to get adb to work is turn on usb debugging and have good drivers installed.
to the OP just cause you ask a question dont mean crap, you dont come in demanding a response to a question that has been answered time and time again in this very forum. I usually find posts like these and still help out with a link if its already on my subscribe list but your just an ass for the way youve gone about it, sorry not everyone works within your mighty time frame

If your phone is on the phone != computer screen and you can't enter download mode via the volume keys - you're bricked. You can't fix it unless you can enter download mode, and some versions of the phone you can't enter download or recovery modes via any keypresses. Since you're on the phone != computer screen, you also can't connect to the phone with ADB - so you're boned like a few other people here.

ok thanks. i was just frustrated and nervous but tmobile is sending me another one. this phone was on vibrant rom and rooted if they find out is there going to be a issue? i am thinking that only way to get back is flashing stock odin again and once they do that it wont be rooted again. so i should be good. what do you think.
Yes should flash the original rom cuz if Tmo find out they are going to make u paid the original price of the phone not the discount or insurance price either. Reason I know cuz I know several people that work with Tmo corporate store not affiliate stores.

I have a Mac, none of these .exe files will run. Is there a way I can just mount my Hero, download a zipfile, drop it in there and get a 2.1 ROM? I thought I could with Damageless?

Well if you don't want do all that work then I suggest you just wait for the official release.
The only auto rooter is for windows. Rooting and flashing ROMs can lead to problems. If you are unwilling to put some effort into it then you are going to end up bricking your phone or running into what we on the forum would consider a small problem. However, it will turn into a huge issue because you don't understand some basic functionality of the recovery shell and wouldn't know how to access ADB to enter a couple commands to help diagnose.
This is an issue about you coming back and asking 101 questions and have people hold your hand because you can't be bothered to learn a couple things about a new world you are trying to enter.
If you are unwilling to learn then please leave these forums because I can tell you are going to be nothing but trouble.
spend the time reading everything fully first, this will save you time and make you more comfortable.
BTW, you can root with the flashrec method if you'd like with any computer platform, but to do anything useful like remove bloatware, you're going to need the adb from the SDK at least. I would root through terminal if I were you, its not hard and many helpful people on here, including myself. I've rooted 2 phones on mac, and 3 on PC already. Just give me a pm, if you run into trouble somewhere.
Things not to forget
USB debugging needs to be on (settings--applications--development)
commands in terminal require ./ before the adb commands
Rooting is easier on a mac than pc... no drivers to install.

dont use flashrec jus do it through adb go to the stiki wiki and read how to root hero cdma for mac all you have to do is download the sdk it basically sets itsself up download asroot2 put it in the tools folder in your sdk and the recovery image of choice then simply copy and paste the commands from the guide its really that simple..
root with godspeed..........................woot woot
I would suggest rooting manually. You will learn some basic ADB commands.
maybe its just me but cant u use bootcamp and install xp or win7 and do it from there or is your Apple IIc just not up to the task..

I am trying to root my Vibrant, but when I hold down both ends of the volume rocker and power the device on I get stuck on a screen that says "Downloading..... Do not turn off Target".
Is my phone actually downloading something from the web? I left it on like this all night and nothing seemed to have changed.
If it is actually downloading something should I move to an area with better 3G reception while trying to root?
Any help on this subject is IMMENSELY appreciated.
Thanks!
It shouldn't be downloading anything. Unless I'm mistaken. The phone should just be installing the zip that's on the phone.
Thanks for the reply Rick!
to quote the Root your Vibrant Guide:
"7. In Recovery menu select 'Reinstall Packages' (use vol_down then power to select)"
Does this mean I do not need to do this? I put the renamed file "update.zip" onto the phones internal memory....
Am I missing something?
Unplug the usb cable and try again.
or alternatively, issue a "adb reboot recovery" command from ADB.

Unfortunately Windows is not properly identifying the Vibrant, and it seems that ADB is not detecting it as a result either.... I'll keep at it.

so what is this suppose to even mean? i already posted something towards helping this guy and what have you done? and how would you know what the only good thing i have ever said? have you read any of the 300 some odd posts ive had?
Besides arguing why couldn't someone advice him to unplug the phone from the USB cable in order to enter recovery mode.
I have noticed that while there are many guides to do this, people still ask the question in threads, so I'll simplify it here. It is meant as an Odin helper.
Make sure you have downloaded the files you need (firmware and odin) from the bottom of this post. I have only included Odin v3.1 and the needed file for UCJF6 restore, cause the jh3 and other stuff is too big to upload directly. This Odin works with all firmwares. Just d/l the desired firmware and use this odin to flash. Just unzip both my files and there you go.
1 - PHONE MUST BE POWERED OFF (not plugged in and pull the battery for 5 seconds if you have to).
2 - Open Odin and choose the files you need. Do everything EXCEPT press start.
3 - HOLD BOTH volume buttons and, while holding them, count to 2 then plug in usb and wait 2-4 more seconds. Phone will enter download mode and Odin will recognize it on a COM.
4 - Press start in Odin. When it completes and your phone reboots, close Odin.
5 - BE PATIENT!!! Your phone may now appear to stick on one of the boot screens or a blackscreen, but it is really doing stuff. Wait 5-10 minutes before you impatient people decide it didnt work.
I can only say this: THIS METHOD HAS NEVER FAILED FOR ME
I hope this helps someone, as someone was kind enough to do for me.....
Enjoy, and happy modding! =)

It seems like most people are messing up AFTER they have the necessary firmware files, which is why I didn't add any links. At least that's what I'm getting from the posts they make.
Honestly, and really I mean no offense here because I love your work AND advice, I see 1 flaw in your post, at least on my captivate which is all i can practice on. Copied from your post:
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
If I plug in BEFORE opening Odin, Odin does not pick up my phone. Doing it my way, holding both volume and then inserting usb while holding them with the phone powered off, has NEVER not worked for me. That's all I was trying to clarify for people. Sorry if I stepped on your toes.
Uploaded Odin and stock jf6 to the OP
Then what you can do is ask DG to include this as a method. There is no reason for you posting the same info which is already a sticky thread. This will eventually get lost while the sticky will stay at the top.
Alright i just wanted to say thank you to everyone. With your help i was finally able recover my phone using odin 1click. I have to say thay i was convinced that it was an unrecoverable brick and i had that sick feeling in my stomach but i read, read again, and re read the entrire odin 1click thread, and i discovered that i was booting into stock recov and not download. I think out of the 10 plus times i tried it i actually got it to go into download, by luck im afraid. Anyway the point of my long post is to thank you guys for being so smart lol u saved my phone. And me from getting an ulcer. Note Do Not download circle batt mod with black evo notification bar with the vibrant hybrid rom. from eugene. It Will brick your phone. At least it did mine.

That sounds like the type of stuff i would get. that or a push file via adb thing. It doesn't sound like a clockwork bricking. The problem with CWM is that it doesn't have the verification step that amon-ra does. Are you flashing roms from these forums? I trust the devs here, but I don't think I would flash a rom that isn't from here w/o a recommendation from one of the devs. I would plug the phone in and let it go for a bit and try again after it has a charge.

yes we can power on we can use cwm mod hell we can place a pbmimg on the sd card, it just wont read it because s=on at the time
in doing a massive google search
any chance this would work
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/37717-unroot-unbrick-using-sbf-post-ikithme.html
if not anyone got any ideas?
3 more questions
a: is there a way to get s=off without android loaded, between just the bootloader and cwm avalible? this way we can hopefully just use the pbmimg
B: is there a way to replace cwm with amon ra in this current state to use flashback21? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
and this is a really crazy thought but can we take the backup we created tonight from his eris... both phones are EXACTLY alike, purchased at the same time and all...and use it to flash in cwm to recover the dead phone?
there is way to flash S=OFF through recovery. Flash the file from here..
In order to use a nandroid from a different phone you need to change a few things to make it work. I read it somewhere. If I find it ill let ya know

This is only supposed to work if you have bootloader version 1.49. If you're lucky like me and have 1.47 it won't work. That's according to bftbo. He's tried both.

any way to roll back the bootloader as he mentioned in the event that he has 1.49?
and this is a really stupid question , but im so brain fryed... how do we check his bootloader version?
how do you put the myt4G in to recovery mode?
Wow not to be rude but did you try the search button......hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time while the phone is off. The select recovery
Sent from my icy cold glacier freezing every phone in its path

You have to have fastboot unselected before it will work. I'm looking into rooting my wife's mt4g, and that took me forever to figure out.
I have a vibrant, so I'm new around these parts. Still doing my research before taking the plunge.
lol! wow thanks i wouldve never figured that out hah! yea well this is very helpful here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 hoping that you know how to use ADB of course =) now i am ready to root !
OH! btw how do you get off recovery mode ? do u just pull the batt out?

Please use the term quick boot when referring to the reboot option that does not fully restart the phone.
Use 'fastboot' to refer to the low level utility / protocol that allows image (ROM,etc) flashing via USB

No problem (clicky the thanks button ). I was actually leaning toward this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225. I'm still trying to determine the difference between it and the one you linked. The main purpose will not be really to flash any roms (she likes the stock), but to resolve some minor issues she has w/ her device. For example, her market fc's every time it updates - it's getting old to have to uninstall updates before she can even access the market. So I'm wanting to root so I can use TB to freeze the market updater.

Aha...see this is the stuff I need to learn - I simply used that term b/c it's what was in the reboot option. So it sounds like "fastboot" is the same as Downloading mode on my vibrant, correct? In other words, roms can be flashed via either clockwork or a usb connection to a computer while the device is in fastboot...?
I need to find a tutorial that explains the basics for the mt4g. It's a pretty different animal than my vibrant. I'm creating my own flashable mods for my vibrant, yet I pick up my wife's mt4g and I'm back to square one. Fruustratting!
If you already flashed it, Power Off > Hold Vol Down + Power until booted > Vol Down to recovery and select
