Phone will not turn on after Odin 1.7 flash

Argh! I just tryed to restore back to JM1 from JPO due to official FroYo being near. Flashed plenty of times before so I know what I'm doing. Set up the usual pda, modem csc etc and it started to flash then my phone went from the download mode screen to a greyish colour. I left it for a few minutes and nothing was happening and the flash had failed. Took the cable out pressed the power button and that was it, it will no longer turn on. Has anyone got any ideas, I wouldn't ask for help if I didn't need it.
Thanks guys.
Edit: My phone from stock has been able to access download mode.

Hope you have your lagfix disabled prior to flash.

Yep, always make sure thats the first thing I do. I'm quite an avid user of xda so I tend to keep up with what to do etc. I really have no idea whats happened. I've tried holding down the download mode combo for a while and nothings happened. When I connect the usb to the computer nothing happens, take it out and put it back in a few time I hear the 'noise' thing from Windows 7. So there must be some kind of life in it :\

I recently did the same thing with my SGS. I bricked it once already trying to flash so was really apprehensive about doing it again but I'm addicted to flashing from my WinMo days with HTC phones.
When I flashed from JPO to JM1 I used all the JM1 files (PDA, Modem and CSC), the 512.pit and selected repartition and all went well. Sounds like something may have glitched when doing yours, maybe a spike in the power or temporary loss of comms between phone and PC?
Have you looked into the homemade JIG thats been detailed in XDA? Might be worth a try if you're completely locked out

You could try this as it happend to me a few time backs
Remove the battery, hold down the buttons for download mode and dont let it go find a way to insert the battery.
Let us know when its done!

Tried that :\ No luck unfortunately! This is what happens when your addicted to ROM flashing. Maybe I need help haha. Going to hold in download mode buttons for as long as I can to see if anything happens, will report back.
EDIT: Right finally getting somewhere. After holding in the download mode combination for 5 minutes I managed to get into download mode. I really have no idea why though? Anyways Odin isn't playing ball. Odin won't get past factoryrfs.rfs. I'll leave it there and see what happens
EDIT 2 : Nothing. Can anyone help me on this?

Got help elsewhere, run kies in comparability mode for windows xp and run as admin. Phones working for the time being
Thanks for the help from those who contributed, it means alot.

Thanks so much it worked for me...

Stuck on logo screen... please help anyone.

I feel like an idiot right now...
I've been reading and watching videos on rooting android phone's, and my friend told me about the z4root app. So I downloaded it, installed it and chose permanent root. The phone restarted but there was no superuser app. So I went back into z4 and chose permanent root again. It did it's thing and the phone restarted, only for it to get stuck on the samsung logo screen (where the samsung white logo glows blue around the edges).
It did this for 10mins until i turned the phone off, and removed the battery. Now each time I turn it on it does the same thing. Longest it has been on is 17mins (still going now) and nothing..
Please anyone, help me with anything. Should I just try get it serviced? Or will they see the z4 thing? Could anyone explain flashing back to stock to me? I really don't get it if that could help. D=

You need to reflash it.

Indeed, had the same issue: just try again with same ROM or download another one... Reflash & you're probably ready to go.

Better start watching videos on Flashing. .your problem ll be solved bro ;-)

Dont worry...just reflash ur firmware...and then again try rooting...preferably change to Froyo!

Sos! Help asap! What do i do now?
SOS! HELP ASAP! WHAT DO I DO NOW?
I have a similar problem. First off, I'm a newb to android stuff and don't know a whole lot(especially technical terms like bootloader, flashing, etc.) because im not a good computer guy. But after researching online and reading some forums, i really want to update my phone to gingerbread because the HK froyo version can't get flash or most froyo apps.
When i heard the CM GB ROM, i downloaded odin and flashed it. Afterwards, the rom manager clockworld page popup and i rebooted the phone off course. Now everytime i boot up my phone, it gets stuck on the CM7 logo page and keeps loading and reloading for 30 sec. and continue to popup and do the whole sequence again. HELP PLEASE! THIS IS MY ONLY PHONE AND MY MOM IS GONNA KILL ME IF SHE FIND OUT! If theres a way, please tell me.
P.S- I am very stupid so please explain in simple way but elaborate details.

JPF also in the thread of stock roms...

TRY REFLASHING THE CURRENT ROM

Download this and flash it. The problem is that the datafs.rfs is corrupted so the datafs.rfs in this rom has been removed and the datafs.rfs has been taken from the xxjps rom.

Did you do the wipe data/factory reset after flashing the rom through clockworkMod? Also wipe the dalvik cache through recovery and give the phone all the time it needs to boot up, do confirm that the phone is charged, say more than 70% before doing that.

ROM Install Issue

My original issue got resolved thanks to s15274n. This mans ROOT walkthrough is amazing!!!!!
NOW I have a problem getting my ROM to load.
Im trying to Install the Malice ROM. and nothing is going quite as smoothely as I think it should.
This is attempt 2, the first time I waited an hour to try and install this rom, straight from SD, and I think the furthest it got was "installing ROM"
nothing. pull the batery out (I assume thats a total noob move, and at beast ill-advisable.) rebooted, went about my day. well, im trying again, and now the furthest ive gotten is "Installing update" the status bar is never filling or scrolling though.
Whats the problem? (going on about 15 minutes with no change btw)

You must use Odin to either
-Flash back to stock so you can reinstall packages
or
-Flash a voodoo integrated kernel so you can flash roms w/ CWM/Voodoo Recovery

Download a voodoo kernel and flash it using odin.

ok, I have the kernal and I have ODIN. once again I have never used ODIN< I definately used a one click root.
does anybody have a link to a thread with *detailed*, hold my hand, walk me through it and pat me on the butt at the end Instructions on this? It's a learning process and damn if im not learning something by the time this is all said and done lol.

last time it sat still for me when it said installing update, it was a bad download. I redid my download of the rom and it went through fast and smoothly. Thats how i fixed my prob maybe it will fix it for u.

I really need some help i want to cry
I got the samsung galaxy s(vibrant) and it doesnt go pass the welcome screen im trying to install a rom but i dont know how have looked over thing i installed odin3 and everything else but when i plug it to the usb it doesnt show on my computer idk why and nothing shows on the id com for odin someone plz tell me this can be fixed please can someone plz plz help me i begg you from the bottom of my heart

do you have the .pit and .tar files? Also, are you turning your phone off? There is an awesome guide by s15274n called the noob guide. It goes over very specifically how to root, it also has a small tutorial on rooting using ODIN3. Search the q&a forum, i believe thats where the guide is.
Also just to clarify, im not saying ur a noob or inept, im just saying its a super awesome guide. My phones neen rooted for three days now, ive flashef a bunch of roms and i always flash nack to stock...REALLY helpful tutorial. Good Luck!

you can't use download mode but you can still enter recovery? that's pretty weird... are you sure you're trying correctly? are the drivers properly installed and stuff? if it still doesn't work, then go to this section of the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop there you will find plenty of roms you can flash with CWM recovery

Hi mate,
Lets go step by step.....
If you can get into recovery you can get into download...
1. Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
2. Release the buttons when you get the warning message.
3. Now press Volume Up button to confirm.
after you are in download mode lets flash a stock rom back in you can follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
or go to sammobile and get the latest one from your country
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
same one you had or newer ,
Another option would be ....
Take external sd out of your phone and use any posible adapter or device so you can use you pc to place a custom rom in....now place it back in your phone and from cwm instal the custom rom...

Stop panicing. This is basic rom flashing.
Just flash a custom rom from within cwm.
