bricked?!? -SOLVED-

I've tried the "brick fixes" on this forum, but without luck so far... I can get into download mode, and I've tried flashing with odin from this post which says "passed" to me. After this is reboots into a black screen after the "galaxy S" screen, and nothing can be done except making the capasitive buttons light up...
All help is appreciated!!
FYI I don't have a SD card installed during odin...
Solutions in #6 and #7...
Thanks a ton

Sounds like a boot loop, but I can't figure out why you would get one with the stock odin flash. Try doing a factory reset? it shouldn't be needed, but who knows?

how? tried the "hard reset" whitout luck

In recovery.. there should be a factory reset option. I thought odin did that though.

when it is resetting I can read "mbr checksum error" or similar in yellow text before it's wiping data etc...

Try this ...turn you phone off but keep it plugged into you cpu usb cord and open oidin, next put your phone in download mode and put the needed files in oden and click start I had a hard time getting odin to work right for some reason this may not help but it worked for me. Good luck I don't think you bricked I think you can come out of this.

I assume that you used the partition in ROM Manager? If so I had the same problem as you. The phone would boot up to a black screen with only the buttons working. What I did was flash Eugenes 2.2 Froyo Rom, I surprised that it booted up and worked. After that I flashed back to stock rom and it work as it did before!

Thanks for the help, but my problem occurs after odin... when it's rebooting and it says "passed!" i just end up with a black screen with only the capasitive buttons lighting up when pressed...

I turned the phone off while the usb was connected when the phone if off open odin ounce its open boot up the phone and boot it into download mode from there odin will connect and you can put the files you need into it and click start. This worked well for me when I needed to revert back to factory vibrant after flashing the "Real lag FIX" kernel that made my ear piece not work and some of my buttons not work but boy was my phone snappy and my benchmarks were awesome but what good does that do when your girl calls you and you cant hear her and all she can hear is you saying hellllllllooooooo .

I"ve been trying to flash with odin now for about 2 hours. It gets stuck on DO NOT DISCONNECT. And never finishes.

You have managed to get into download mode right? My device is up and running stock now, but gonna try some other ROM now =)

Glad to hear your phone is back up and running .

i know this is an old thread, but i figure this can help someone later... brick is a common search term, and i figure this will come up in a search and this will save time for others...
here's what happened to me. i was flashing back to stock and was in download mode. the blue bar was moving etc and murphy and his dumb law decided to kill my my usb port... i thought the phone was DEAD! nothing i did woke the phone up. no battery indicator, buttons didn't do anything... it was all black. holding up/down and power didnt turn the phone on and into recovery or download mode... the phone was DEAD...
then after scouring the forum forever, i finally got the phone into download mode...
NOTE: i don't recall if the usb wire was plugged into the computer or not... i think it was though...
NOTE2: samsung drivers should have been installed already...
- remove the battery
- hold vol up and vol down buttons
- reinsert battery
i thought WOO HOO!! I GOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE!!!
the next issue i had was getting odin to recognize the phone... it didn't detect what com port i had. but after a lot of reading, i finally got it to work...
- open odin first
- then get into download mode using the steps above...
after odin recognized the port the phone was plugged into, i flashed back to stock rom using the instructions given on this site... and my dead phone works again...
i was able to fix a dead phone!! this phone could be un-brickable!!
i hope this helps...

Open odin first, then plug in your phone.

Please Help. Can't get past white Samsung Vibrant Screen.

I followed the instructions from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743769 ) up until flashing the actual zip and forgot I put the zip on my external sdcard rather than "internal" sdcard. Now my phone won't get past the initial white Samsung Vibrant screen. Also, I can only get into stock recovery. After clicking "reinstall packages" it just reboots and brings me back to stock recovery. Please help. Thank you.

You will need to flash back to stock then you will have access to your phone again.. you will have to start over to flash that rom. after you flash back to stock using odin

You will need the right windows drivers so Odin will see your phone pick them up here.
Windows 64bit
Windows 32bit
Directions posted by setzer715
1. Put your phone in download mode by plugging it in and then holding Vol Up+Down and Power. As SOON as the screen goes black release power but NOT Vol Up+Down.
2. Launch Odin
3. Unplug your phone.
4. Load the pit and pda files into odin.
5. Plug your phone back in. You should now see one of the small blocks turn yellow and show you the com port. If not, something is wrong with your drivers.
6. Click start. If it flashes, great. If it hangs at File analasys then repeat 1-5.
6a. If Odin hangs at cache.rfs then move on to 6b.
6b. Unplug your phone (Odin will say it was removed) and remove the battery. DO NOT SHUT DOWN ODIN!!!!!!
6c. Put the battery back in and plug it back into your computer and put it back into download mode using step 1.
6d. Press start on Odin and it should now flash.
Also if you continue to hang at cache.rfs I found that if you delete s1_odin_20100512.pit then copy a new copy of the file over to your odin directory it seems to work fine after that.

Damn it.Thanks....

vol dn+up should get you to the stock recovery util right? the yellow and blue one?
edit: nvm, scare is over lol

On step 6d, where it says to press start again on odin, odin does not let me do this. The start, reset, pit, pda, etc... buttons are grey and will not let me press them. Help!
EDIT: also gives me a message in the upper left corner that says "CACHE" if that helps (in the far upper left box above where the yellow COM3 thing was.

You need to delete your s1_odin_20100512.pit file and then extract a new copy to the odin folder then flash again. happened to me and that is all I did to fix it. step 6d did not work for me has well.

Hmmmm it's still not working. Would it help if i made a video showing what i'm doing then you can look it over and tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly? Also maybe I should be more clear. There is no way for me to start the flash again after removing my device as per step 6 without having to completely restart odin, thus restarting the process.

Update: Still not working. Really need a fix for this. Is there another way to un-brick my phone?

EDIT: To clarify, my problem was getting stuck as Cache.rfs and never going past that. I did try the previous steps listed in this article, as well as trying to reinstall all drivers and even using different Odin copies from other threads (even though they were all the same Odin 3). No .pit file seemed to work for me. Also, I'd like to point out that I have this issue with my netbook, but my work computer where I've done all my Odin flashing before did not have this issue, and I could use the .pit files perfectly fine.
First off, I'm not anyone special (I guess depends on the meaning of special), I don't dev... I play around. That's all. So take this all with a grain of salt.
I had the same issue, and have spent all night trying to fix it. Just now I didn't use the .pit file at all. Just the .tar in the PDA slot. Immediately went through and reflashed everything and I am fully up and running.
I can't guarantee that I don't have some kind of issues now but I am now back at my home screen and the phone seems to be operating fine.
The files I used are as follows:
Stock 2.1 firmware for the Vibrant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091
Samsung studio 7 (seemed to get Odin to recognize the phone without having to disconnect and reconnect, thought it might have something to do with the issue, though not sure): http://www.4shared.com/file/117435710/3d286573/Samsung_PC_Studio_72249.html
And the Samsung USB Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Now, if a real dev can tell us what happens when you don't use the .pit file, we can know if there is any longterm repercussion from this. Short term though, working like a dream. I hope this helps, because being stuck without a working Vibrant sucks!

ODIN is a pain but I've found a way to get it work pretty consistently for me. Whenever you flash a ROM or back to stock, always make sure you enable USB debugging, and have adb working on your computer.
Open up your command console, plug in your device, open up ODIN, and type "adb reboot download". ODIN should recognize your phone when it restarts and a COM will light up.
From my experience, ODIN recognizes the devices better this way and hasn't hung for me so far (granted it's only 3 times). When I was booting into download manually and then plugging in the USB, it would hang at cache.rfs. If you don't have USB debugging enabled, then only thing you can do is keep retrying over and over. Took me like 15 tries once before it finally ran.

Can't thank you guys enough. Phone is back to normal! As soon as I didn't use the pit file it worked like a charm.

hey...i'm in the same situation as you...i can't get it to work...i'm trying to do just the tar file right now but it still hangs on cache.rfs how long did you have to wait?

It should go right away. If it's hanging at cache.rfs, then it's not working. I really think its a drivers issue with ODIN. Just keep restarting your phone and ODIN and retrying.

I used the tar file that is linked to from the second post on this thread. I didn't even download what you linked me to, I just didn't use the pit file, like you told me and it worked with the files I already had.

I have had this issue since the first use of Odin. I believe my answer is the proper one but am open to correction. You have to go back to download mode and odin yourself to recovery. I have had inconsistent successes with Odin. . .sometimes for no apparent reason the fifth or sixth time works.
Each non-success renders my phone in the state you described unless I go straight into DL mode. I have never rebooted my computer to make this work, or moved my usb, or anything. Just persistence. This is just my personal experience and I am in no way a master of all things android, odin, pits, or anything. Just a tinkerer.

Help, My LG G2 is a mess!

HI
So i was trying to restore my LG G2 D803 phone and I accidentally unplugged it when I was doing the LG Tools process, I turned off my phone so I can reset it but now it doesn't work anymore. So now my phone can't use Firmware Update, and every time I tried to escape it, by hold the power button or anything, it goes back to Firmware Update where its now at 0%. What do I do now?
EDIT: I think the problem i'm facing right now. Is that it keeps going into a glitch download mode when I turn my phone on, and I can't access download mode properly or factory reset, due to going back to the glitched download mode. I tried to flash it properly, letting it drain battery on itself, and turning it off FULLY & turning it back on, where all these methods would just lead back to the glitched download mode.

Can you elaborate more when you say it doesn't work?
After you hit flash on the software, don't do anything for like 25mins. It may show you error messages on computer, that it failed or whatever, pop up windows, don't click on anything just let it stay like that. The progress bar can also be stuck on the phone, not a problem. Give it that 25 mins.

It didn't show any progress on the phone, and also said an error on not working. And there would be no change in the download screen, like it would say that nothing is downloading from the USB port it is in and etc.
But I try to wait for 25 mins and see.

You must turn it off completely before booting in download mode. Keep pressing and holding volume down+power for a minute, it should completely turn off after one or two LG logo. If it doesn't then you can unplug battery. After that you don't boot with power button, then you boot with download mode method.
Video from complete shutdown - putting USB in computer while pressing volume up button and starting download mode - software recognizing your device - checking all the correct options in software - hitting flash button - state of phone after flash started.

No you shouldn't, rather I am sorry, made a bad judgement call. I left room for confusion in my post. Should've said unplug and plug back the battery. Perhaps you thought if i meant to leave it unplugged.
As your main problem was to stop it from bootlooping into a glitched download, it can be done with holding power and volume down for a minute or two.
But since that didn't work for you i suspected button/hardware failure and so recommended to reconnect the battery.
Another way can be, to let it be as is, so that the battery drains itself and after that charging it with a wall adapter. And see if it stops booting into download itself, or displays a charging only screen.
Anyhow, I hope you find a way out. Feel free to ask anything again.

Nah its ok, that happens to me too sometimes.
So I was going to try to unplug my battery and reconnect it but then but before I was, i was testing some other stuff with the button commands stuff (I mean like the download mode with pressing power and volume up adn stuff) and I think i was able to get the actualy download mode, not the glitched one. I was able to download a bit for the flash tool so what i'm testing rn is to see if I can do the full factory reset and see if that fixes it.
PS: I was already doing the flashtool before so its fine if I erase my data

Sounds like a bootloop, i once fixed it by using another usb port and usb cable. Sometimes they get disconnected for bad connection and cause this kinda error. If MD5 is available, please match yours with original after downloading files. You can keep flashing, maybe try a different kdz later. There is also a TOT method which i never tried myself. This phone is almost impossible to brick permanently.

Sorry for the late reply, just been busy flashing my phone. So I been trying to re flashing my phone using the TOT method because the kda method isn't working, but either 1) it keeps crashing when its downloading 2) cannot recognize the phone to my computer when my phone is in download mode but says its not connected to my computer. Before, it did kinda work, it kept crashing but it lasted a bit longer sometimes, but I had to reflash it because the software update was glitched where it says its on the notification bar but wasnt there. So for rn, i'm still trying to reflash it.

I donno much about the TOT method, haven't tried myself. Getting a hunch that there might be hardware issues somewhere which is interrupting the process and not letting it finish, could be the cable, pc usb outlet, phone's micro usb port....perhaps a loose connection or something else.
If i were you i would stick to the kdz, as it's working somewhat better for you and they all serve same purpose in the end. That youtube video is actually a good step by step tutorial.

Odin flash failed, stuck in Emergency Recovery screen, cannot turn off.

I was going along ok until I made the fatal error of transferring the Magisk patched file to PC via MTP instead of taking the time to re-learn adb, which must have corrupted it. Thus predictably Odin hung and I am in trouble.
Where I am stuck is being unable to turn the phone off to come back in download mode to start over with stock firmware. I have been unable to find any secret button presses, and the battery doesn't seem to want to die leaving me with an $800 paperweight.
I did search around for this first and didn't find any real answers. Has anyone found an effective solution to this problem? Thanks.

If Odin recognizes you device, you can flash firmware in emergency recovery.

Thank you, but the PC won't recognize the device. What does happen is the emergency recorevy screen tries to come up. I tried starting in download mode with bixby+vol down then USB. I did get the battery low enough where I don't get the teal screen of death anymore, perhaps it is too low for USB to work? What I was hoping for was the charging animation but no luck. Surely this is just a software problem and there is a way out.

Did you try getting into recovery and perform a data factory reset and then see what happens?

Just load the stock firmware BL, Ap, cp and home csc into Odin if you see emergency teal screen. The emergency screen will start loading
Black screen ....Perhaps your battery is dead?

Thank you all for the replies. I had let the battery get low in a misguided attempt (based on advice elsewhere) to get it to shut off. I had to let it charge a while for it to wake up enough for PC to see it. Then I was able to flash in Emergency Recovery mode.
Thank you for the help.

Glad you got your device up and running ?

Maybe someone can help me. I seemed to have borked my phone. I kept getting "Google is Stopping" with no way to fix it, so I tried reflashing my firmware in odin. After I loaded all the files and hit start, I realized I didn't untick auto reboot, so I tried aborting the installation and ended up with screen (I've had it before and got out of it by still flashing in Odin, but now, if I try to reflash firmware while in this screen, it's stuck on SYSTEM in odin.
Any help appreciated!

Try this
That is where I got stuck. Are you trying to flash stock or patched firmware? I had to start over with stock as I copied the patched via MTP instead of adb and it got corrupted.
I think what I did was unplug and reset Odin. Wait for screen to turn off, then make sure it is at least 80% charged. Then Bixby + Vol Down + plug in and you will go back to this screen. Then I was able to flash stock. I had to go so far as to re-lock bootloader and flash stock again since my "OEM Unlocking" was not just greyed out but missing. Since then I've had no time to try again, but at least I have a working phone.
This is my anecdotal procedure, can't say if it is the right or best one.

Hi All,
I was trying to flash the latest firmware for my device (G9750ZCU2ASG4) and during the odin process, my computer restarted which failed the update halfway through. I rebooted the computer, tried again, and it was trying to establish a connection for a really long time, so I disconnected my phone from the USB port on my computer, and held Power and Volume Down to try and force reboot the phone. I was going to try and go back into download mode to restart the process. My phone mentioned something about needing to do an emergency recovery, but I continued to hold down the power and volume down keys and then everything went black on the phone.
I've tried multiple USB cords, all of the button commands known for the device, and have even tried to perform the emergency mode recovery on my device, but it seems like it's in some sort of locked state; What I mean is the phone is stuck on a black screen. I can't "boot" into recovery or into download mode. The phone doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or power and down to try and force reboot it. Odin doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it into the computer nor does the device manager on my windows computer.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue or any idea of what else I can do to try and get into download mode to flash my firmware again? All help, suggestions, or comments regarding this are much appreciated.

Sounds like the battery is dead

Hi Dude, I am struggling with the same problem, read this post and it came to me, had to come back and give you the solution.
Press bixby+volume down, IMMEDIATELY after the screen goes off, hold volume up and down while connecting the USB cable super fast.
You have got like 10ms to do it
Otherwise it just goes back to the AVB FAIL screen

Ran into this issue, none of the above worked for me.
This is how I resolved:
1) Placed phone on wireless charging mat and let it boot to emergency recovery screen
2) Load TWRP into AP slot of Odin and leave the window open on your computer ready to flash
3) Connect phone to computer whilst it's on the mat and press start in Odin as soon as your device appears
It may fail a few times but if your quick you can install TWRP.
4) Now boot into recovery and let your phone charge to a reasonable level (above 20%)
5) Boot into Download mode and flash your desired rim via Odin
