I'm bricked, but odin isn't fixing it - Vibrant General

I went to odin my phone to eugenes froyo, but odin was not responsive when I ran it. When I got odin back up and running again, after I has removed the phone and went to reconnect it, and was greeted by this image. I can no longer get into download mode, stock recovery,cwm, or anything besides this screen...
Help please.

Pull the battery
Plug the USB cable into your phone and PC
Hold down both volume keys and the power keys
Put the battery back in with your free hand while still holding the keys
Wait for the charging icon to flash 2 times but when it goes black the second time let go of the power button
When you get the DOWNLOAD MODE you can let go of the volume keys
Start Odin and you may have to unplug & replug the USB from the phone for ODIN to pick it up

What the guy above me said. Your phone can still get out of brick. It isn't a big deal.

follow instructions in Post#1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475

I tried both of these methods and tactics, but have been unable to get back into download mode, can only see the attached image. I'll try again tonight after football

what i've done when I get that screen, continue holding down your volume keys(both up and down) and the power. When the screen goes black, release the power button but hold the volume keys. You will go straight to download mode. Some have had better success with the USB plugged in while doing this, I have better luck without it being plugged in.

Take out sdcard and sim card
Open Odin
Plug usb to computer but not to phone
Take out phone battery
Hold up and down volume keys only (don't hold power)
Continue holding then reinsert battery
Still holding plug usb to phone
You should be in download mode
Odin should detect it
Note: Make sure you have installed vibrant drivers beforehand

I've found the key here is to have odin up and running and your phone plugged into your 'puter then reboot with the proper key sequence. I've bricked my phone like 100 times and that always works.

odd I never open Odin until after my phone is in download mode.

BoomBoomPOW - works!
I have been flashing like a wildman. I finally bricked my phone like OP's screen.
BoomBoomPOW's advice worked like a charm. I was starting to get worried.
Cheers!

No Recovery, No Download Mode

Screwed up a flash of build.prop
Originally I could access both Download Mode and Recovery but in the time I waited to download new Firmware to flash, I can't access either of them.
Holding Home+Vol Up+Pwer - Bootloops
Holding Home+Vol Down+Pwer - Bootloops
Letting boot shows the splash, makes bootsound with no graphic, lights the LED buttons and then Freezes
I was using the Stock Firmware from Optus.
Someone please help
EDIT: Fixed it, Anyone else who has a similar issue, I let it boot, and then it turned it's self off, once that happened I could access Download Mode again...Thank god
maybe you can help us here

No, I only saw that screen once and the 3keys worked on it.
Sorry
meh... then it's not the same
that picture above, is the ultimately bricked screen.
and only the 3 button combo can save it, but if the phone have 3 button sequence disable, you are pretty much dead in the water.
Shut this ANDROID IS killing me with my s60v5 i8910 dont have any problems at all when flashing and i flashed arround 50 times

hELLO NO RECOVERY NO DOWNLOAD MODE
i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHAT CAN i DO? THE SAME SCREEN...
see the sticky topic about the home made JIG?
use that
then you can go back to flash a good ROM

Recovery from a completely dead phone / captivate with no power

This should be a sticky or added to a existing sticky.
Do you get no power when you turn on your phone? Nothing shows up on the screen at all. You have the worst brick possible that is recoverable. I wished this post came out before I did a warranty swap.
Here's how to fix: Credit goes to OP
- You need Odin program before starting.
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Insert battery.
5. Connect usb cable.
6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- while plugging in USB
Got download screen and flashed with ODIN..
Let ODin finish.
*** This program recovered my dead phone with no power, nothing shows up on my screen. - Dead and also a stuck boot up screen.
I saw another post that has the similar set of instructions 6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- and then press the power button. Nothing happens.
I am curious how people this post has helped. Can you respond when you these directions gets your phone up. Thank you.
this is cOLD. and has been posted numerous times.
A.K.A. Check [STOCK] Odin 1 click. and this does not recover from a completely dead phone that doesn't have button combo to download mode.
I thought that was what we all did to get into d/l
Some tools developer or reseller said that the phone is bricked,
and need Jtag tool to do recovery.

Jtag is usefull for empty or totally corrupted ROM recovery.
But if you see this, your phone is FAR from brick !
Just press the keys, bring it back to download mode
Then plug to cable and flash a working firmware again.
No special tools is needed,
No need to waste time and money send for repair,
Don't waste your good phone and don't break it for jtag.

and now... my pc can't detect my phone again...
what should i do now OMG
Are you seeing the Phone-!-PC symbol? I was in a situation where my phone wouldn't accept the the up/down key press to enter download mode. I ended up having to make a jig which basically will force the phone into download mode. You can search the forums on how to make one.

No, if you see that symbol, you can recover using the method in first post to get to download mode. That is how I got past it.

This is what most people always do to enter dl mode.
However, many phones shipped without the button combos needed for it to work. In that case it is possible to make a USB jig to trigger download mode manually. see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

I have the same problem but I cannot get it to download mode. My phone is completely dead no power no sign of life. The only thing I notice is when i put the battery into the phone for about 15 minutes the phone is getting hot so I don't know if this is a common problem for bricked phone.

Try these steps to see if you can get the red text to show up. If you can, you are still recoverable using the steps.

I had the exact same "phone - ! - PC" brick screen and vol up + vol down + power only took me to "unknown upload mode". I eventually figured out by myself that holding ONLY vol down + power for 10 sec is what takes you to download mode from that particular screen.
Summary: Anyone who's getting "Phone--!--PC" and the three-button combo takes you to "unknown upload mode", try holding vol down + power for 10 seconds.

The guys just turned off my phone and didn’t turn on, didn’t enter into the backup, I can’t flash through ODIN because even after installing the drivers, the computer sees the phone as a ULC1 device and cannot install the drivers needed for the phone, who had such a problem decide? samsung j100fn

i9000 Can't get into HBOOT

So my friend rooted and flashed CWM on his Galaxy S i9000, then he wasnt happy so he tried to restore the old backup. It gave him an error, now the phone is stuck in bootloop. The problem is that he cant get back into HBOOT either because Power+Vol UP+Home doesnt work. Any ideas guys?
Thanks for helping

Do a battery pull first
try a different combination of keys ( Vol down+home+power or home+power )
Failing which use easy reboot recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1796807

Thanks for your help. All those combos don't work for some reason. I am not sure how Easy Reboot Recovery would work since I believe the phone doesn't get recognized by the USB.

ok, try battery pull and reinsert method for download mode
1) Press and hold (volume down+home key+power button)
2) insert the battery
by ruaylau
Did you ever get into to Download Mode or Recovery Mode before you stuck?
Yeah, I accessed the recovery with Vol Up + Power + Home, but only when the phone was booted up fully. He was trying to restore the old ROM in CWM but it gave him error flashing boot image, then he restarted the phone and got the bootloop problem, so theres no way to restart it into HBOOT. I will try your method xsenman, have to wait till sunday so the phone gets here. If anyone has some other tips, I would appreciate it.

May be you bricked your phone. You can try solutions mentioned below:

It's not bricked..if you're seeing anything on the screen, it should be recoverable. And even hard bricked phone can be saved with the UnBrickablemod.

Okay heres the thing. Easy Reboot Recovery does nothing, just opens and closes, I guess since it kinda doesn't recognize the USB from the phone. Then I used SGS Rescue Kit, launched OneClick.jar, connected the phone, clicked unsoft brick and it said Sucessful, the phone started showing the Samsung logo, but then nothing happens. Tried Easy Reboot Recovery again, but nothing. Any ideas?
Can you still access download mod ( Volume Key down + Menu + Power ) ?
If yes you can download a stock ROM that includes PIT PDA PHONE CSC and BOOTLOADER files, this page contains links to all theses files :
http://www.androidgen.fr/tutoriel-s...id-gingerbread-2-3-6-odin-article-2110-2.html
Now once you download these files just start Odin and put:
s1_odin_20100512.pit in PIT
CODE_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in PDA
MODEM_I9000XXJVT_REV_00_CL1064602.tar.md5 in MODEM
GT-I9000-CSC-HOME-MULTI-OXAJVT.tar.md5 in CSC
APBOOT_I9000XWJVZ_CL762604_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 in BOOTLOADER
Make sure that "Re-Partition" is checked as shown in this Screenshot:

(( no, that did'nt help..
Try holding both volume buttons down at the same time, then press and hold power button. See if that will put you into the OEM recovery screen that may have the option to do a factory reset or flash a ROM from an external SD. Keep playing around with combinations of this procedure, it may be your best bet.
I tried with holding volume down, volume plus then power, ...then only volume plus then power button, and every possible way of pressing thorugh.. now after these..now it seems to be fully dead... Anywa when i connect to pc.. it makes a sound on pc.. like connected.. but when i type adb shell on cmnt promt.. it says..
-Exes/system/bin/sh not found ..or something like.that.....

what you have to do is hold vol up with power button ( you'll see a androbot lyieng down there) then just leave the buttons and again hold vol up button and then gently tap on power button (you should see a recovery console).

Phone can't boot into recovery mode, unresponsive, help

The phone is stock android, no custom anything, unrooted.
My phone froze last night while opening an app; I tried to do a hard reset on it and since then it is stuck on this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The screen doesn't turn off, the phone responds to volume down+power button only, it turns itself off briefly, vibrates and then it is stuck on that screen again.
I tried plugging it in, pressing volume down+power button, and when it is plugged in it shows this:
I let the battery drain over night - it was completely dead this morning, when I plugged it in it just showed the battery screen. Did volume down+power again, and the same thing keeps happening - if it is connected to a charger it displays the battery icon, if it is not connected to a charger it displays the Galaxy s7 Edge logo.
There is no indication that the phone is charging, however; after the battery drained completely and I plugged it in this morning, when I disconnected the charger, the phone stayed on, so it is receiving juice.
I tried every combination of buttons that is possible, I also tried cleaning the connection port and using a different charger, as well as plugging it into my laptop. Nothing worked. Currently I'm letting it charge fully, to see if that might help.
Also - the phone's motherboard was replaced less then a month ago, so I doubt that it is the problem. If anyone has had a similar issue, and managed to resolve it, please help!
Edit: I left it charging for about 30 minutes, it still can't turn on, but the phone did warm up considerably.
Don't Panic Yet.
1. Download the latest firmware from sammobile.com or other sites.
2. Download ODIN
3. Press vol up + vol down + power + home for 8 second
4. When you see the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge screen, release the power and vol up button. Continue holding vol down + home button. This will lead you to the download screen.
5. Now connect your phone through odin and flash the downloaded firmware. Make sure you selected correct files for bl + ap + cp + csc.
Hopefully this will restore the official firmware. If not, you can try with Kies Emergency recovery. Knox will still remain 0x0

Thank you for the response. The problem is that the phone will not go into the download screen - after I release the volume up and power button, it does not move from the Edge logo screen. When I did that while the phone was connected to the charger, the screen only showed the battery icon.

Download mode is actually volume down + menu button + power button... Keep holding this even of battery icon is showing while charging. Keep on holding it, it will eventually enter download mode. Then u need press volume up to accept the prompt about download mode..
