Moving up from an Eris to the Fascinate. Rooted the phone successfully via reboot, SuperUser Icon.
Went to install Clockworkmod, put phone in Download mode, ran Odin said failed first try so I tried it again, didn't attempt to install clockwork phone rebooted and immediately went to the phone, triangle pc icon (bad right).
So I can't get the phone back into download mode. I can only get recover via battery pull, plug in usb cable, power on phone and then hold up volume and power button and I'll get to recovery. Reboot in recovery does nothing, update.zip comes up with an error and factory reset and clear cache do nothing. PC will not recognize phone via USB so I don't know what to do...
$20 Paypal to the first poster that can get me back on track. Detailed instructions/ideas please.
TIA
Have you tried the same steps that you use to get into recovery, but with the down volume button instead?
Sent from my SCH-I500 with Dirrk's LV 1250 voodoo lagfix installed.
Yes, it goes from the battery charging Icon (once I first plug it into the usb and power on).
If I hold up volume and power it goes to recovery.
If i hold down volume and power it goes to phone, triangle, pc icons.
Hokay.
Pull your battery and usb cable.
Leave your battery out.
Hold DOWN VOLUME and plug in usb cable, while odin is running in background.
Welcome to download mode.
Insert battery.
Continue with Odin madness.
OK, that worked, now my PC is recognizing the device a serial item and it's not coming up in Odin?
re-open odin.

Victory!!!!
I had this problem before. Odin didnt want to do its job if I put the phone in download mode with the data cable plugged in.
You could try unplugging the data cable.
Pull the battery.
Put the battery back in.
Hold volume down and do a short press of power maybe like 1 second long.
wait till it goes into download mode.
Open Odin.
Plug in phone.
That should work. It would fail every time for me if I didnt do those steps.
Hope it helps!

if you're getting that, quit and unplug the phone, take out the battery so it's completely dead (and take out the sim card while you're at it)
then put back just the battery and put the phone into download mode (volume down + power)
then run odin and THEN plug in the phone. you have to do it in the right order otherwise it gets stuck on file analysis. go figure.
ok i did that..now i'm stuck. i have a computer and phone icon with a yellow sign in between. nothing happens. did i just brick my phone?? HELP (((
This should be pinned!

No.
If you had a messed up original Captivate install, do this:
Unplug
Remove Battery
Reinstall Battery
Hold the DOWN volume button, THEN the power button.
Should go right into Download mode
Open the Odin flasher
Plug USB in
Wait for the connection.
If you're trying to recover from having Vibrant firmware installed, it's the same, but you need to hold the VOLUME UP button instead of DOWN.
i did exactly what u said, remove battery completely, insert battery, hold down first, then press power until it powers up. i get the same issue. a black screen with a graphic that looks like this:
(phone graphic)- - - yellow sign with "!" mark - - - (computer graphic)
Dear OP,

I had the same exact issue while trying to flash the firmware. What you need to do is make sure your phone is off. Open Odin. Attach the phone to your PC. Hold down and press power and it will boot into downloading mode. ODIN MUST BE OPEN!
As long as its attached to the PC and Odin is open it will go into downloading mode, not the picture that you are seeing.

Ditto here. A new link would be great.
So I tried Odin and was going back to stock. Odin was going for over an hour and no progress was being shown. So what I read is to restart the process. So I took out the battery and went to get into Download Mode again. So my guess is the something was actually still writing even after an hour...or Odin wrote something bad at the beginning and then died.
Well now my phone only goes to the Screen showing a Phone --- ! ---- Computer. I have tried many tricks listed on this site. Take out the battery, hookup the USB, hold down up and down volume, and then put the battery back in...nothing. Tried many things like this.
ADB doesn't see the device.
Any thoughts?

I am having the exact same problem. When I tried to odin back to stock, it got stuck on cache.rfs. So i took out the battery, and get back into download mode, , but odin didn't see the phone after I plug the USB back in. So i restart odin, and it assign a com port. When I click start after specifying the pit and tar file. It would just get stuck at cache.rfs again.
I am not able to get into recovery, and I just see the <computer ! phone>. or I can get into download mode with the key combinations. but odin wouldn't flash, and i can't boot regularly. Please help.
This is happened to me as well. I was trying for hours to get ODIN to flash the tar file but it would either freeze or fail. Eventually I tried another computer and started from scratch by downloading the USB Drivers, ODIN, the PIT and TAR file again. In my case it turned out to be my computer, using another computer successfully flashed teh stock rom and later the manual ota update.
Is Your Vibrant Hardware Locked?
Sounds Like it, If It Is, Your Screwed..Sorry
nvm, i finally got it to flashed back to stock. it wouldn't work until I finally found the odin v1.52. it flashed as soon as I use that version of odin. btw..I don't think mine is hardware locked, since i am normally able to get into recovery or download mode by using the key combination. Thanks
ugh im tired of bricking my vibrant
so i have obsidian v2 and I installed OCLF 2.2+ and now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen. i only had 3 apps on my SD card and i moved those over to the phone storage.. then i went ahead and did the lagfix... it said it was done successfully and then restarted but now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen
did i do something wrong?? (obviously i did but what? lol)
Do you know how to use odin if not you should start reading up on it. To get into download mode open odin, now take your battery out of your phone then put it back in, hold the volume up and down button, now plug in your usb cord that should be plugged into your pc you should see download mode now fix your phone with odin now I let go of your hand

Download Mode after phone ! PC symbol
odin failed and now i have the phone---!----pc icon.. i've tried all the methods of trying to get into download mode but nothing happens.
i'm pretty sure i don't have the hardware locked version because i got the phone prior to launch
nevermind!
I did the following:
1. take out the battery, sim and microSD
2. put battery in
3. ONLY hold vol down & power
4. plug in the USB and voila...download mode!
every method I read suggested using vol up+vol down.. none of those worked for me
Don't worry..read on

I got the same scary looking screen last weekend too but be patient!
FIRST: MAKE SURE you have the proper android driver installed in the PC!
SECOND: open control panel>device manager, if you see the T959 or something like android device under USB sub menu then you are good to go.
Then continue repeating what you had done: keep vol up&down after battery in, USB cable in, download screen on, release vols, either open Odin app before or after.
LAST: BE BRAVE! I almost gave up after going to three different local stores and none knew what to do
yes I majorly effed up. installed a rom or at least attempted to. Rbooted device then got thrown into the endless boot and reboot mode. powered off device then back on. same deal. put my phone into download mode by pressing the volume up and down combo and it worked. okay went into odin and went to flash and effed up once again. now Im stuck on the |PHONE--/!\--PC| logo. read up on all posts in here about it people have had success but i am not one of them. my phone isnt hardware locked since I was able to get into download mode via key the three key press. what on earth have i done? shoul I call it in and have it replaced or try something elese. oh and wehen I plug my phone into pc it downloads th drivers it needed but doesnt show as connected. ugh what am I doing wrong?
The phone pc logo is the download mode. Odin away back to stock. Just press start on Odin.
how? which buttons should I nnot check off and how to i flash to stock? im a effen noob and played with fire when I shouldnt have

1. Power your phone off all the way.
2. Unplug the cable.
3. Fire up ODIN (as admin if you have vista/7)
4. Hold vol. up and down, and plug USB into phone.
5. ODIN should now detect your phone, and you will be in download mode.

It failed the first time around when I tried to flash it via Odin.
So I took the battery out like I usually do then went to put it back into download mode... To my surprise I cannot get into download or recovery mode anymore.
I've tried all button methods and none worked. I can't get past the screen that has the cell --- computer screen.. Looks like I may need a jig now...?
Any other ideas that I might be able to try?

Same thing.
I've left the battery out for over 20 minutes, tried it while plugged into the computer, the adapter and not plugged in at all.. Still nothing.
This sucks..
if the phone doesn't do anything at all you can probably take it in to your service center and tell them it wont turn on but it didn't get wet or anything... ubless they have some magical way to get it into download then they'll replace it if you're under warranty.

I got this same problem when I installed CM7 on my T959d for the first time and Odin hung after clicking [Start]. Rebooted my phone and was greeted with a nice soft-brick screen. What a scare that was.
Here's what I did:
1. Take out the battery from the phone.
2. Plug the phone via USB to the PC (odin was open)
3. Hold down [VOL -] key
4. Hold down [POWER] key
I don't remember if the SGH-GTI9000 screen popped up, but if it does, wait for it to switch back to a black screen and then release just the [POWER] key, keeping [VOL -] pressed.
That put me back in Download Mode. Fired up ODIN again and the flash was successful this time around.
edit: Also, the Semaphore kernel i see in i9000 is for JVS roms. I'm not sure how that would affect darkys, since it's a JVR rom.
