Hey guys I was was flashing up to VIPERS rom after I put the phone back to default and updated to 2.2. Well any way step by step I first did the ONE CLICK ROOT. Then I download the DK28.pit(put pit in the pit section) and I download the modem.bin (and put that in the phone section) and I forgot to uncheck re-partition. I then put the phone in download mode and it finished with no errors. Of course it bricked my phone and the only thing it would do was go into download mode!
I had never bricked my phone before and it was cause of rookie mistakes.. I was reading numerous threads about how to fix a bricked phone and it didn't seem to hard to fix. I downloaded the original firmware SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL(in PDA section) and the pit file that came with it. I attempted to flash it with odin and it keep failing so I looked for a alternative route.
Finally I found a post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732199 and followed the guide to a T and everything finished up just fine.(I just figured it would work because it had all the files in ODIN) And I was positive that everything was going to work just fine! I was planing to just get it up and running and then get the phone back to its original firmware.. But now the phone will not even go into download mode..
P.S. I have tried pulling the sd card out and the battery, and while holding 1 and the power button while trying to put it in download mode(like i had to do previously) and there is no response. Any suggestions?

I hope you didnt flash JG5 to your epic. I believe this will cause a real hard brick.
If you flashed JG5, congratulations, you just killed your Epic.
Also, please read the stickies before you post. This is Android DEVELOPMENT. Questions are to be asked in General.
This is why you READ before you begin dealing with stuff like this.. The modem goes in the PDA section not phone; and if your phone can't boot; or go into download mode.. There is no hope.
Seems like you've truley bricked your phone my friend..
I did read it and it said that I needed to put the modem in the phone section. But good news is I have a new epic waiting at the repair center 4 me to pick up today.. I was practicing on the messed up one so I would do it on this one right.. I have rooted and flashed every phone I have ever had and never had a problem.. The original post I found for odin said to put the modem in the phone section..
It is pretty darn hard to brick these, even if you flash incorrectly. Try taking the battery out for 20 minutes and then putting it back in. Should get you to download mode.
I always put modem in phone, pit in pit, and the tar.md5 in pda. Always works.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If you're using the full .tar.md5, there's no need to place the modem.bin in the modem section; there's already a modem inside the .tar.md5.
I am pretty sure its done.. No biggie though I am going to get my new one today.. I am glad I work at SPRINT!!! It wasnt bricked until I did the JG5.. I was trying to figure out if it changed the buttons that put it in download mode but I couldn't find a combo.. oh first bricked phone in years of flashing cause I was trying to rush things

If you're using Odin to flash anything except a modem, it will completely wipe the phone (not the SD card, so don't worry about that) - which means performing the One Click Root before hand is unnecessary because it will be overwritten.
Also, in the future, don't start a new thread like this in the Development section - there is a Q&A thread in the Dev section that you could use, or you could post in the General section... I'm not trying to start a flame war (which seems to be what usually happens lately, lol), just trying to bring you up to speed on where to post - we have recently started a renewed effort to clean out the clutter and put an end to redundant posts, so that noobs and experienced users alike will be able to more quickly and easily find the information they need, making it easier to NOT brick your phone
Please post questions in General Section.
I think it would be nice if someone could post a screenshot guide for noobs to stop asking these questions (including me) and do the flashing back to di18 and coming back to dk28 easily. I m in the same boat.. havent flashed it yet..will be doing later today but i m **** scared that i might brick it.. no matter how many times i read and post questions.. I know it cud be difficult for pros to put together a guide but if someone can that would really cut down all the questions and numerous threads in this forum.. I can do that but once I get all the info .. and do my stuff properly only

Reboot your computer and phone. Get odin set up with the tar file in the pda area and the pit file in the pit area. Make sure the only box on odin that is checked is reboot. Then put your epic into download mode and then connect it to your computer. Once odin displays a com port you know your phone is connected to odin. Click start and a few minutes later your phone should reboot on its own.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
First things first. This should probably be in the general section, or the very least the QnA post. If you are having trouble with using ODIN there are a couple of things you can try to get it up and running.
1) Judging by your lack of knowledge regarding what 'bricking' is, the most probable cause of error is user error. As an aside, bricking is turning your phone into a brick. If you can get to the download mode, you have not bricked your phone. Make sure you put all of the files in the correct places and ONLY have auto-reboot checked.
2) If you are using 1.61 to no avail, some people have had better luck with 1.3.
3) Make sure the download you are flashing isn't corrupt. Most people post md5 checksums with their files. If you need help with this just google "md5 validator." If you are running linux or osx, the validator is most likely already installed.

Eventually it will work also i recommend buying another cable other than the Stock Samsung Cable its a POS.
Mosey on over to the Bonsai site (google is your friend) and help yourself to heimdall and the MasterKey app tonight. You will also need a tar file. Much more robust than ODIN and more versatile.

Maybe $49 vs $199 and physical keyboard vs. none? If someone straight up wanted to trade me an SGII for the Epic I wouldn't do it. Waiting for an SGIII with LTE and keyboard.
Sorry guys, I've BEEN searching and tried those methods but nothing has worked.
So I've had nothing else to do but ask.
I've completely FUBAR'ed my phone. I tried to update to DJ05 using ODIN and something went wrong and it messed everything up.
Only screen I can successfully get into is the Downloading screen or I get the bricked screen via the phone -- triangle -- computer.
As of now I just want my phone up and working, stock if I have to. Forget about root if I need to.
I try to use ODIN to restore the stock files, I put the stock PIT and also the stock system .mbr file that's in the Restoring using ODIN thread, and it doesn't work. Just fails and says failed to write.
What do I do? I just want my phone to be useable! Someone please help me.
Step through step guide? Am I using ODIN wrong?
You're using the forums wrong by mucking up the Dev section with a help me thread. ;/
Well if you flashed the DJ05 modem under "Phone" in odin, you now have an expensive paperweight.
If that's not the case, try the "Full DI01 ODIN Package" posted on this forum by adrynalyne. It's a 1 stop for restoring you back to complete stock.

Well I'll assume you're right, it is always safer to just use PDA. I know I didn't for me and my friend, I'll just consider myself oddly lucky then. But no, not suggesting to anyone to use "Phone", if my own case is an exception, then so be it.
I apologize if it seemed I was spreading false info, just conflicting personal experience, Stick to PDA .
CrushD, no worries I'm just trying to drive home the point. PDA PDA PDA....for ayone else that reads this...
Op try changing the usb port you are using on your computer...I know it sounds silly but that may be the problem
I also flashed a few things on phone via odin, and after almost bricking my phone decided to read thru forums b4 doin it again. Pda is safest I just got lucky.... 5 times
The instructions moved as I grouped all Android content under it's own section for easier navigation and such as more things become available. http://goo.gl/oMc7H And if you read them, it says in red, bold, underlined text to NOT use the phone button unless you want a paperweight.
Okay,
There is a growing number of us XDA members on the Vibrant platform who have just bricked out phones. Save for other DEV tools, which I have not used, do not have access, and do not know how to use, for all intensive purposes, this phone is Br'iKTed ! ! !
Here are the series of events
1. flashed the latest Bionix
2. Worked great, some bugs, but for the most part without incident.
3. Flashed new DOW Kernel,
4. worked great for 2 days.
5. then on night 2, the phone was stuck on the DOW Green robot screen
6. could not get into Recovery mode (none of the recovery modes)
7. Phone would not boot
8. ODIN back to stock
9. After Vibrant screen, the phone turns off. No soft keys, Nada!
10. Flashed JI5, Ji6, Eugene's Non Bricking Froyo (ODIN Files)
11. Same result, Turned off after Vibrant
and
12. still cant' get into recovery
I am having problems with the phone starting up and loading what I flashed.
I flashed JI5 Ji6, and Eugene's non bricking Froyo Rom
These 3 are the only ones I was able to find that is ODIN flashable
Why you ask?
I cannot get into Recovery, but I can get into Download mode. I can't get into any recovery at all. NOTHING. This is why ODIN seems to be my only option.
But regardless of any ROM i flash, my phone shuts off right after the Vibrant screen. No splash screen, no loading, no booting. .Nothing. It just shuts off.
I can't charge it either.
i get a Charging bootloop. HOurglass - battery shows up for a bit, then restarts over and over.
So in other words. it's ****ed.
Hope that explains it sufficiently. if you have any more questions or suggestions, Im open man, Im open.
Help me
So I'm not sure how DEVs would like to proceed on this.
TW (I've always loved your roms. Been following you since the first BIONIX 1.8)
Morific (If it's the Kernel, i'd like to know about it)
Thanks for reading guys. I wanted to give everybody a heads up.
I don't know what the problem is, but I do know that the phone does not work.
I'd appreciate some suggestions or anything.
And to inform the community that this problem is out there. I hope there aren't any more bricked phones.
Cheers,
have you tried using odin with the repartition checked
Yes I have.
Tried it with/ Without. Using Just the Tar file, using just the base file. I've tried it all.
Thanks

have you tried to odin to ka6 or ka7? something with a bootloader
not to be that guy, but how does this pertain to development? This sounds to me like an individual case of something going wrong and not an overarching issue with current available software. Just in case I am wrong I am flashing Bionix, and the DOW kernel myself to see if I end up with the same issue. My suggestion is flash back to stock, and exchange your device for a new one from T-Mobile.
I totally understand what your going through. I'm having the exact same problem, the DOW kernel flashed ok but then it didn't want to come off and it totally has my phone stuck on that damn green robot screen.
I soft-bricked my phone once by pulling USB cable immediately after ODIN forced my phone to reboot after flashing. It was the first time I ever ODIN'ed my phone, and thought the reboot (ODIN calls it reset) was the final step of flashing, and unplugged the USB cable. Anyway the phone did not initiate final step of the installation of JFD image, and went into boot loop. You can't imagine how freaked I was. It wouldn't go into recovery mode even if I pressed volume up, down and power combo, because it didn't stop rebooting right after the Vibrant logo. I am not sure if bootloader was not installed correctly, though. But I kept the phone rebooting for a while to see what happens. No luck. Eventually, I followed someone's instruction, and pulled my battery out, plugged USB to my laptop and to my phone, started ODIN, and popped in the battery. The phone immediately restarted into download mode, and I was able to flash the phone again.
My experience may not help you as it appears that you are able to flash ODIN-flashables, at least. But I hope this helps someone who's experiencing similar issues. And I would try downloading a JFD image and verifying MD5 before flashing. It could be bad downloads of the image files.
Try to go to eugenes forum and he has a file to download...it is his unofficial jk2 froyo rom. Don't use the old "froyo that does not brick" Try to flash that in ODIN. I just used it tonight when I got stuck in stock recovery with a MBR Check sum failure. That should get u back to where u can fix ur phone. Also I don't click the repartition button in ODIN just causes problems for me. If u need anything feel free to P.M. me.

Completely reasonable. This pertains to development because if there is an endemic problem with one of our ROMS or KERNELS (not pointing fingers, just pointing out the possibilities that I know of, there could be more), people in our community need to know. Hence, I titled it "PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT"
Thanks. I hear you about Tmobile. I'd rather not have to dump my problem on Tmobile if I can fix it, because I flashed the rom. Despite the fact that Tmobile JFS leaves something to be desired, they did deliver me a working phone. So i'd like to exhaust all possibilities before calling it quits.

Thanks for the heads up. I've gone through this myself many times. And i'm sure your post will help others out there. My problem (as well as many others on here with the same ROM and KERNEL I used) seems to be different and unique. Something that ODIN won't cure.

Yes, tried that too. Same result. Vibrant.. then shut off.
Thanks anyway.
I had actually just had Bionix-v 1.2.1 and the new DoW combo to try out Voodoo Sound. I really loved the sound quality, but battery drain was not adequate as being my daily driver, even though I set it to run at 1ghz and used a sleep profile. After just over 2 days of use, I backed out by ODIN'ing to JFD and I installed Bionix-v 1.2.1 again. Only thing I have noticed so far is GPS not initiating immediately after it's turned on. I would go into GPS Test app, and turn on GPS after the app is started, but I get no satellites for at least 1 min. I used to get a lock within seconds, not minutes. I will try ODIN again tomorrow and see if it fixes. I guess I was lucky enough not to get a bootloop again though.
But I can't see why you and I would have any issues after the Bionix+Dow combo. Wouldn't ODIN just clear everything up? I even repartitioned when flashing, so my guess is that my system, data, datadata, etc., are all reformatted completely? Am I missing something?
I had the same problem. I flashed DoW and then the next day my phone didn't want to turn on. I pulled the battery and restarted it. It didn't want to start up all the way. It got to the vibrant screen and shut off. luckily for me, my replacement phone that I ordered a week ago came in the same day. I sent off my old phone letting samsung/tmo take care of it.
This exact same thing happened to me.
I too had the phoen bricked after flashing the DOW after Bionix 1.2.1
I have been flashing since the G1. This is the first time I've ever bricked a phone.
Hoping to get it fixed this weekend
Yo OP
Coming from a very scary brick my self, (phone wouldnt even turn on, bad dead horse test).
When your using Odin, are you using v1.7, are you using the correct stock JFD tar, when you repartion, are you using the correct pit file. Sounds to me that your partions are screwed, so try the pit approach first. If you phone wont boot at all after this, with odin open go into download mode by holding the vol rockers only, and plug USB in.
Then flash JFD.

I spent over 12 hours working on this when it happened to me yesterday. Tried every tar and pit file and all versions of Odin I could find. There is no way to fix it with Odin. It is BRICKED!
If you have not already done this, I recommend doing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
Bay Wolf made a nice software for the computer that pretty much shows you a step-by-step instruction on how to flash to stock, reroot, and flash the new ROM of your choice. This program will push you into download mode, clockwork recovery, etc. There is a video on that link that will also show you a step-by-step instruction. Try that out if you haven't, and let us know how it goes.
That program comes with a PIT and TAR file for you to use as well.
Even if you say it is, this is not a Development thread and belongs in one of the other forums. I understand your frustration, however TW did not flash your phone, you did. Coming on here with a "PSA" that their ROM or Kernel loaded itself on your phone and broke it is not the way it should be done. Did you, before posting this, go to the TW irc for help or pm Sombionix or any other TW Dev?
Since you can Odin, Odin to stock 2.1 then connect to KIES mini while in download mode, if you can, and take the OTA.

s1_odin_20100512.pit
and

are the only ones you need, and if your good with your flashing, just do a pit first, no pda.
And if your still getting to download mode, ect, and dont have the computer /!\ phone icon on the screen, sounds like a soft brick.

To use Odin, you need to get into download mode. Turn the phone off, pull the battery, hold the volume down button, plug in the USB cable while continuing to hold the volume down button. Phone should now be in download mode and Odin should pick up the device (assuming you had the drivers installed as well already). When flashing anything via Odin, be sure to use the PDA button.
The issue sounds like you just need a new modem flashed to the phone, or downgrade your ROM to whatever version the baseband is. Personally, if you want to stick with Froyo, you should upgrade to EB01. It doesn't really fix much, but at least it has a modem available.
EDIT: Your issue is the DI01 baseband and DL30 build. I'd say update to EB01. If you want to stick with stock, go with DL09 and update to the EA28 OTA.

did you ever install the samsung drivers on your computer
Seriously? you couldnt have looked that hard if you were on DL30. that isn't even a current leak. and there's a sticky thread with a how-to for everything HERE...
With such quotes as "DL30 is now outtdated as it was replaced by a newer release of froyo aka EB01."
and... "The Froyo EB01 update has it's own radio that needs to be flashed via Odin."
and HERE is a seriously HARDCORE step-by-every-tiny-step walkthrough for rooting/froyo/eb01. I didn't even search. It was in plain sight.
My god...

Yea, I just rooted a Vibrant the other night. That was no problem compared to this...
I dont think you guys are following me. I got this phone last night already rooted and running DL30. I DID NOT FLASH IT MYSELF. I cant get into cwm to do anything and odin gives me the message i posted a few posts ago. I have the drivers installed.
When your phone is plugged in and Odin is open, does the ID:COM field show anything? It should turn yellow and display the COM port your phone is connected to. Also, you are clicking the PDA button and selecting the file you want to flash, correct? Your process should follow this: http://goo.gl/TEv2T and if you want to flash a full image (ROM/Kernel/Modem) it would take the place of the modem tar file, but it would still go under the PDA button.
re what imnuts posted (I was drafting a similar post when his popped up)...
I have experienced issues with the usb port not working correctly. If the Odin ID:COM field is blank, you might have a usb problem.
Does the phone allow you to mount the sdcard using the Samsung drivers? If not, odin won't work either.

I think it is my drivers. They worked fine the other night. I just uninstalled and tried some posted in a thread here and it still doesnt work. It says problem with gadget serial.
I believe that all the SGS phones require different drivers to work properly. Download the most recent drivers from Samsung from the I500 download page
EDIT: Download

Are you following this when trying flash? http://goo.gl/TEv2T What error is it giving you, and at what step in the process? Also, the screens should look similar as far as how the boxes look while flashing.

Its working now. I rebooted my computer and all is well. I really appreciate your help with this. We need more guys like you here at XDA. I have almost 800 posts at droid forums and dont come over here much because your expected to just know everything here. Thanks again.

I'll second that. I was skimming through this thread to see if anybody actually helped you with your issue rather than just saying "google it, n00b" and other such bs like that.
People are right, there *is* a lot of information to be found in these forums, but some people have lives and don't follow every single post in every single thread. I miss my days in iAudiophile.net where when a member had a legitimate question, the least we could do was to post a link to another thread for them to follow.
...So which EB01 rom did you upgrade to?
Hey guys,
My buddy had CM7 on his vibrant, phone was ****ing up so we wanted to send it back, so i ODIN the stock 2.2 just the one on the sticky...had the pda section. Flashed it everything said it passed, but phone won't turn on at all? Anybody know what to do?

The only thing I can think of is that he had had a Gingerbread bootloader on his phone... I'm not experienced with this as I've never flashed a gingerbread bootloader... The only thing I can suggest you try is to:
~~~Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.
~~~
Also, I would suggest you post this again in the Q&A section of this forum or ask a moderator to move this thread it for you. You will get a lot more answers in that section.
thanks, yeah that didn't work it's dead, he must of had teh GB bootloaders...
can you move this in the proper section please
Were you able to put it into download mode?
What firmware did you flash exactly?
How did you setup odin before you clicked start?
Post filenames, give details.
Ive got the "skorpn jig, but have never used it in a blackscreened hard brick, Never really heard if it worked on one, Be curious if anyone has.
