Bricked your phone? You've come to the right place, if you're one of the blessed. A lot of the newer Captivates have button combinations disabled. Before you go modding your phone, make sure that you can get into download or recovery using these button combos. If you can't, your best bet is to return your phone to an AT&T store and beg for a new one.
THE BUTTON COMBOS
Power-power
Download-volume up+volume down+plug in usb cord
Recovery-volume up+volume down+power
There you have it. Thanks for reading.
What is the point of this when there are 3 methods in the Odin 3 one click thread which is a sticky? Just curious how this deserves its own thread.
When my phone was stuck at the Galaxy S logo, i was able to send the adb reboot recovery command to it to get into recovery mode.
Are bricked phones normally stuck at the logo too, or was it just me?
I wanted to link to just the button combos in the bible. Also, the one click Odin isn't a sticky anymore.
From mah fonez
Why don't you just link to a single post in a thread or post in the odin thread and link to that single post? Just a suggestion so there isn't too many threads started for just a little information like you posted. Great work on the bible though. Glad to see a lot of stuff being compiled into one thread.
How does this relate to development? With a title like this, i thought we had some button hacks.
BAH!
You should also include more than the button combinations as well if you're going to make this post useful. Simply holding the volume buttons + power will do absolutely nothing on my phone. I spent a good amount of time looking for more detailed instructions on recovery mode when the phone was new and no one posted them. There are also a lot of posts that talk about the at&t splash screen flashing and when to release the buttons but that's not terribly useful either. Download mode is a little more covered but still has lots of people giving different instructions. For those the future new people that might read this thread,
For Recovery mode:
Power off
Hold both volume buttons
Push power
Release power when you see the AT&T splash screen
Release the volume buttons a second or so later
After the splash screen goes away you should be in recovery mode
Continuing to hold all three buttons will simply cause the AT&T splash screen to flash at you. I can also continue to hold the volume buttons after releasing power but it is not needed.
For Download mode:
Power Off
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
The above will immediately send my phone into download mode. For flashing, most people recommend the steps below to maximize the chance of success with Odin
Power off
Remove battery, sim, microsd
Open Odin
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
Put battery in
You should now be in download mode and free to flash with odin.
I agree with the holding volume up and down while plugging the phone into the computer with Odin opened and configured to flash soon as it detects the phone.
All other methods only add confusion.
How do I get out of download mode?
oh nvm, I just removed battery and I could reboot it fine.
I am stuck on this screen

Am I missing something or do you have to have something installed before the procedure

You have odin started before you plugged in your usb cable into your phone or computer? Does you computer recognize you phone in mass storage mode? The screen shot you provided shows the phone is not recognized by odin.
I got it now but I am stuck even further odin finished no errors and now the phone just loops on the att logo, or if I try to plug the usb both up and down volume buttons pressed to enter recovery mode again it just loops the battery charging any ideas thanks
This is all covered thoroughly in the "READ BEFORE FLASHING" sticky. Which everyone should read BEFORE flashing!!! Hey, what a coincidence.

i was doing a odin back up and odin froze!... i did nothing for hours!!!! finally i shut off the program.... the phone rebooted into a screen with a picture of a phone with a triangle then dots to a computer!!!
omg!!! so im freaking out.. anyone know if there is a way back from this?? i can't even get back into recovery mode!!
please any help will do......
there was a thread about that issue, turn off your phone, unplug the usb cord, plug the usb cord. hold vol up and vol down and the power button. it will come on but when it goes off release the power button and keep holding down the vol up and vol down. should go into auto download mode. then u can reload it via odin.

you can save your device through odin, plug your phone in to your computer and try to go into download mode may take a couple tries, and flash the stock ROM you can find on these forums
i have already tried the sequence to get it into download mode... it doesnt work... tried adb and nothing registers....
anymore ideas? looks like im going to have to do a warranty exchange.
The only way I can reliably get to download mode is: power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. works every time though.

are you using a .pit file? and if so is it the right 512 .pit file?
if both those are yes, delete the one on your system and re-download it.
I had this same exact problem a few weeks back Odin would hang on the pit file, just redownloaded and it worked like a charm.
and just a quick reminder of everything out for the Vibrant right now
Only stock firmware use the 'PDA' option a pit file, and re-partition
froyo firmware use the 'PDA' option and a pit file, no re-partition
JACs kernels use the 'CSC' option and no pit file, no-repartition
i have a Bell Vibrant and all the methods don't work. i tried the 3 button (remove batt,place in batt, plug USB, wait for the the ''star" to appear, hold VOL+/- and POWER and wait for the screen to turn off, release POWER, but it just goes back to recharging screen. tried it 40 times
tried the power off, remove battery, replace battery, hold both vol buttons, plug in usb. no go as well.
ANything else? I'm stuck at the boot screen (the 'S' glowing part).
This is what always works for me.
Unplug your USB from your phone
Makes sure ODIN is ready to go on your PC
Hold down the Down Volume and Power until the download screen comes on
Then plug your USB back into the phone
fire up odin
pull your battery
connect phone to pc WITH THE BATTERY OUT
hold volume up+down and power
put battery in while still holding those buttons
the screen will light up with....something. Wait for the screen to blink and then release the buttons.
You are now in download mode!
i will try those methods. Thanks.
crap, still no. just keeps showing the battery charging. i remember rescuing my htc magic so many times, but no go on this guy.....
Odin all fired up when doing this......

Did you make sure that the USB was unplugged when you used my method of holding down the volume down button and power button together until the download screen came up?
If you are familiar with ADB. You can also power your phone on and then plug in the USB and then type in the command line:
adb reboot download
to get it to reboot into download mode.
You can also use this command from the recovery console if you are able to get to it.

Dude, the Vibrant is new to us all. None like it. So dev wise its harder to explain and understand when we are used to coming from a one press method, now were using Odin, and Thor's hammer to flash our phones, which is god awful, no pun intended.
Dont flame your fellow Vibrant user cause he doesent understand the 613 steps it involves, and every other way to do so. Help the kid.
I am also in this position, just using a finger in the socket method, if its on it'l shock me, know what i mean. Just try it all. I have a feeling its getting harder and harder to brick phones because the manufacture is not retarded, they fix them right back, and ship them back out to customers who need replacements. I know this as a friend works at an AT&T shipping warehouse.
So cant we all just hit a bong, or get a long? And help?
If someone could explain all this 512PIT, PDA, and CSC, and Phone. It would help so much, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Just sayin.

Yeah man, i'll try it again!! And when do I start typing (sending out the adb command) when the power turns on? Thanks.
Question is: when i press power+vol Down, the boot splashscreen comes on (Galaxy S etc etc).....
I am sorry you have a Bell Vibrant, it is a little different than my phone. I found this hope this helps
HOWTO GET INTO DOWNLOAD-MODE:
- Turn off your Phone
- Hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons
- While holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME Buttons press POWER Button until you reach Download-Mode
- Release all Buttons
I also read that some of the Bell Vibrants had their Download/Recovery mode disabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754673&highlight=bell
As far as the adb command I would start as soon as it powers on. It will say "error:device not found" at first, but just keep on hitting arrow up and hitting the enter in the command window until it accepts the command.
Good Luck
So I installed this (Android 2.2 build i9000XXJPH) on my Tmobile Vibrant and it worked beautifully, but then I went to root my device through "one-click" and when it got to the part in recovery mode, i tried pressing the power button to apply the update but nothing happened and now I'm stuck in recovery mode all the time, as soon as I plug the phone in to charge, or plug it in the computer via usb, or push the power button, the damn thing goes into recovery mode and stays there. I can use the volume buttons to navigate up and down through the options and if I hold the power botton down long enough the phone will turn off and back on again. But if I press the power button once (as in select an option) it doesn't do anything. I tried every single option out there to get into download mode with the battery out and usb in and volume buttons then put bat in....etc nothing works. I need to get into download mode
anyone?................

Try holding volume -+ then plug in the usb at the same time this should go into download mode.
P.S. dont touch the power button for nothing.
Try these steps:
1. Take out your battery
2. Hold vol up and vol down, continue to hold
3. Insert USB while still holding down the vol buttons
That should get you into download mode (it did for me)
thanks but I already tried that, doesn't work still goes into recovery mode
Does adb work in recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959
nope it says device not connected
Try the same procedure with the USB cable plugged in. I go into recovery if the cable is unplugged and I go into download mode if the cable is attached. Buttons are always the same. Vol +/- then power until I see the screen show something. Then release power.
Well my friend, u flashing the i9000 rom to ur fone is the problem. They button set up is different they have a big menu button in the middle and we dont. That y u cant move it at all.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
make sure your phone can get into download mode before flashing a i9000 rom. If your phone is able to get into download mode before flashing a i9000 rom then it's general impossible to brick your phone by flashing a i9000 rom. After flashed to a i9000 rom, to get to download mode, you hold "volume down" + "soft home key" + "power button" for 3 seconds. If "volume down" don't work, try holding "volume up".
I have done it many times with i9000 roms...the "soft home key" is the touch home icon on the bottom of our Vibrant.

The phone works fine but the volume buttons are flipped, when u press up it goes down and when u press down it goes up, so I know thats not the right one.. anyway i got those firmwares from here "http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm" btw u need to make an account to be able to see them. so my question is, can anyone tell me where to get the original stock firmware to flash with odin? oh and I did try Kies from samsung but the phone will not connect with that for some reason.. anyway any help is very much appreciate it

I honestly searched for it, and did find few posts but everytime I flashed the phone, it just didn't feel like the right one, so thats why I asked for help here.
Thanks for the link though, much appreciated.
same issue
So i am having the same issue...gonna try to get it into download mode and go back to stock. You (original poster) said you had the Android 2.2 build i9000XXJPH working in your device? I did'nt get that far, that is what has me stuck in this recovery limbo...how did you originally get it to work? And also assuming I work for T-MO, assume that 2.2 is coming out NO time soon!! This kind of is a bummer, I love the vibrant but I think I need to go back to a true android, I can't keep feeling left behind because Samsung cares more about friggin avatar then updating their phones.
Flash the froyo that dont brick your phone (search the forum), and after that flash the stock vibrant.
If you flash a ROM not meant for your phone I'm surprised you made it this far.
~SB
toast
Yea i was suprised I made it this far too....BUT now my vibrant is toast!! I had it back to stock, woke up this morning and accidentally accepted the J16 OTA from TMO, and now my phone is done done done....I cant get it to do anything, no lights, camera or action. So having no way to get back to download mode I think Im screwed. This was a problem from the gate, cause Samsung gave me the phone from a learning seminar and the 1st J16 MR soft bricked me. So at this point I have searced every forum I can find and I think Im screwed. NOw if I could only get ahold of my Samsung rep to see if they replace it for me....IF anyone has any strokes of genius to maybe help me out please....
Okay, so I think I brainfarted and softbricked my Vibrant. I tried to get it into download mode, but pressing vol up+down only gets me a gray battery icon, not the usual download screen. When I power it up regularly, it goes into bootloop. It's never had a problem going into download mode before, so I don't know if there's a malfunction with the vol buttons or what. I certainly seem to suck.
(Ugh, just noticed the no questions in the general forum rule. Mods, please delete)
Pull battery
Plug phone into computer via usb
Hold vol up, vol down, and power
Replace battery while still holding those buttons
U can go to 4shared and grab a app called hot boot, it will put u in recovery

try to do the same steps but hold the vol up button only (not the down)!
this the only way that i can get into download mode!
These guys listed about every way to get in to download mode. If none of them work, you are doing something wrong...
Are you running gingerbread or froyo?
Button sequences are different. Gingerbread uses one volume button(depending on the kernel either up or down) and the power button, while froyo uses the both volume buttons only.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
(Depending on the level of softbricking you will either see the Android with a shovel or a phone and computer with exclamation mark, both are download modes)
Froyo bootloader:
Pull Battery,
Put Battery back in phone,
Hold only volume up and down at same time.
Insert USB.
GB Bootloader:
Pull Battery,
Put Battery back in,
Press and hold Volume Up+Power button.
These should work without flaw. If neither work for you, you may need to invest a couple bucks in getting a USB Jig.
Same issue witht similar results
I am having the same issue, Phone was rooted, on the Keis Gingerbread Update. When I tried to restore to Froyo, using T959UVJFD it got stuck in a boot loop, Tried to go to CWM cyogenmod using both Oden and Recovery and Odin Failed, Recovery gave me the evil Signature Failed.
So I tried a different Froyo EUGENE373 which bricked the phone. I was able to unbrick with onclickUnbrick (Awesome app, thank You). But when I tried to apply The Factory Froyo again it failed in Odin.
Now, the PC will not recognize the phone, USB divice failed message. I removed and reinstalled the drivers, Tried the Samsung Drivers, the Keis drivers and Hiendall drivers as well as the USB drivers with the ADK / SDK toolkit. I tried to connect the phone to another PC with the same result. I know that I am doing the process to get into Download mode properly, but it only displays the greyed out battery, with the USB unplugged the phoned boots to the Galasy S GT-I9000 Samsung screen and I am not able to get out of it with any button combo.
This is my wifes phone and I am in the doghouse for this one. I have rooted and flashed my Verizon Fascinate with no issues. Thank You for your help. if I can get into download mode I was going to follow the process in the NOOB root, flash sticky thread, unless someone has a better Idea.
I originally posted this in general and then saw the sticky saying your not supposed to post questions there. Sorry for the double post.
I'm selling my G2 on ebay. It sold. I rebooted to TWRP and did a wipe on everything, including the internal storage, so I could follow WALTCOs guide to uproot and flash stock. Now when it reboots, all that comes up is the LG flash, but no bootloader, nothing. I can only assume that I wiped the rom, recovery, and EVER THING off the phone.
I'm a little terrified. Did I brick it? Is there anything I can do at this point?
Can you get into download mode?
I had a similar problem a couple of days ago - but while the phone was connected to the laptop I noticed that by holding the power and volume up button I could get the phone into the download mode -(the LG logo appears but keep holding the buttons down and hopefully download mode will appear) I then followed the instructions in the below thread and return it to stock - lost root but still has TWRP.

Hmm...holding power and volume up, it says download mode started and flashes to a dog window saying fast boot started. Is this download mode? When I connect it to my computer, lg flash tool can't read the phone info, mentions the port. I checked in device manager and it's listed as an ADB device but I can't see orly change the port.
If you're in fastboot then download mode failed to load.
fastboot is an interface which is somewhat similar to adb.
You can try flashing working images to your phone through it to fix download mode.
It's pretty easy to brick your phone like that though so be careful.
any luck getting it to work? i don't hold down the power button on my phone to do this. turn the phone all the way off. hold down the power until after the the brief flash off the splash screen logo. that way, it is all the way off and not rebooting. now, hold down the volume up button only, then plug in the usb cable. that should do it.
No matter how many times I have tried, the combination of Vol Down+Home+Power together does nothing, the phone just continues to load normally, I cannot access download mode.
My S5 (G900F) is on Android 6.0.1, which was the last software update for the phone, I would like to try 7(Nougat) but can't get anywhere near rooting or flashing.
The phone functions fine as it is, but for the last ?? Years I have used Windows Phones so android of quite alien to me but more preferable than apple. I would like to check out what's available in different builds.
anyone any ideas why it won't let me in, USB is enabled and it is in developer mode.
It can be a bit fiddly to do when you're starting off. What I normally do is press and hold in order volume down, home and then power. The boot wont start unless you press the power button so what this does is ensure that the other 2 are pressed by the time you press the power button. Only stop holding all 3 buttons down when it boots into download mode. Hope this helps

It doesn't work, That is what I have been doing, The Galaxy s5 screen appears, I keep holding, it disappears, vibrates and re-appears, I keep holding and it disappears again, vibrates and re-appears, it does this 5 times before I get fed up and release the power button and then the other 2, it then goes into the Samsung screen and continues loading, sometimes it goes to the "Optimising Apps" mode with the two spinning cogs before finishing the load sequence.
Thanks for the suggestion but it's not playing as it should.

Thanks for the help, now we have a tale of woe. some things were best not touched, after following a fairly well detailed account of updating to Android 7 the screen filled with line after line of red text and froze.
I had to remove the battery to turn it off, now I have a brick that will not boot. I get the Samsung Galaxy S5 flash screen with a little yellow "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" at the top of the screen.
I think I had better post a new thread about this.

Questions that will help in assisting you: Can you still boot into download or recovery mode? What nougat ROM did you flash? What steps did you take to flash the nougat ROM? What happened?
If you can enter download mode, then you can reflash a stock ROM via odin to hopefully save your S5, you can find one on Sam Mobile. Without the right info, that is the best general advice I can give.
You can try posting a new thread to hopefully recruit more help. If you decide to do so, include the answers to the questions I have posted above. Otherwise, I am happy to attempt to assist you in recovering the functionality of your S5 on this thread.
