I Had my FDascinate Phone Rooted and tried updating the phone with the OTA update, and of course it failed. and afterward i had problems with my messaging on the phone so i thought i would flash the DI01 Package like i did before but now ODIN gets to the point where it says Sbl.bin and right after that it fails and it shuts the phone off but now i cant even get the phone to boot up, all i get is a icon with a phone and computer with dots inbetween with a explanation point in a triangle.
Any help would be greatly thankful.
Well with a little messing around i got it to work. I tried with battery out and in nothing but i tried again with battery out and it worked.

I plugged my phone in, to be greeted by a message from Kies saying an update is available, which is of course froYo. So I started the process of upgrading, and I went away, and came back about an hour later, to find my phone sitting on a blank screen, but the two capacitive lights still lit up when touched. On Kies it said 'Your phone will reboot when process is complete' or something like that, so I assume that the phone attempted to reboot but failed. I pulled the battery and tried manually booting it, and it passed the two boot up screens, but I was again left with a blank screen. I then decided to try and put it into recovery, but I am presented with the 'Downloading...Do not turn of target!!!!!!!!!!!!!' screen. Any help on how to fix this, if it is even possible, would be greatly appreciated.
I would read the guide here and reflash it using Odin.

It's really not difficult and and takes a couple of minutes.
Okay, thanks alot.
I searched and didn't find an answer yet. (I'm checking other forums as well) Last night I grabbed Kies mini, everything was working fine, firmware was downloaded to the computer, phone starts downloading the firmware, half way through the dl Kies stops and throws an error. Now when I boot the phone I get a black screen with a phone on the left, two dots, yellow triangle with an exclamation point, two dots, and then a computer. Any ideas? The phone will not boot into "Emergency Recovery". The phone is completely stock if that helps.
Solved it, while trying to get into dl mode let go of the power button but do not let go of the volume up and down. Kies recognized the phone and continued the update from last night. This was all done while the phone was connected to the computer
Basically the jist of the story goes like this.. I was on the TBH official full gingerbread rooted OTA and i decided to try out a different rom so i made a backup and flashed it... the new rom i flashed i ended up not like it so i said ok whatever ill just nandroid back to my backup i had made.. so i nandroid back to my backup and im getting crazy force closes everywere and then my bootstrap dosent work anymore
So then i say ok ill just SBF it not a big deal.. So i proceed to flash the official .340 SBF file with RSD and it goes through the entire process... it flashes the entire thing fine and does all the checksum matches ETC and they all pass.. then at the VERY end of the process im talking like 99% done when it says "Switching to BP Pass Thru Mode" it FAILS and stops the entire process... I then proceed to unplug my phone and even if i pull the battery or do anything whatsoever it goes straight to the bootloader screen
I tried flashing it again... it always works and is perfectly fine up until 99% where it says switching to BP pass thru mode and then it fails and is over with... I even tried the gingerbread SBF file and nothing is working and the phones stuck at the bootloader screen with the "Code Corrupt" message
What can i do here? Ive never had problems with RSD and SBFing in the past and its always worked on this machine... Im also a little hesitant to bring it into verizon or something with this problem because its stuck on the bootloader screen which is obviously something im probobly not suppose to even know exists
Also i have no access to stock recovery or anything whatsoever

Need halp with recovering my bricked phone.
Yesterday I went into the Return to stock thread using EC05 to remove MIUI. I checked all three boxes on odin (Re-Partition, Auto-Reboot, F.Reset Time). It worked perfectly.
I then tried to root the phone using the One-click and it wouldn't work for whatever reason and I tried using all sorts of methods(changing USB ports, etc) What's more is that my phone started laggin big time. What's even MORE is that when I tried to reboot my phone I got stuck on the Samsung logo.
Not to worry, I thought, I just tried re flashing EC05 using Odin. Odin did not recognise my phone, and so I changed the cable and it ended up recognizing. Once I started flashing (with all three boxes checked), I got stuck on factoryfs.rfs. I tried unplugging and removing battery multiple times and it still did not seem to work.
Now, during the flashing (while it's stuck on factoryf.rfs), my phones changes from the Downloading screen to a brown screen.
Wtf should I do?
EDIT: Tried again, goes into a pink screen.
ALWAYS !!!
Make sure ONLY Auto reboot is checked ...
Try doing with only that checked ...
PM sent. I can fix this with JTAG...
Hi, so, I got this phone from a friend, and he told me that the phone was working prorperly, but after someone factory resetted it, he wasn't able to set it up. Constant force close pop-ups where showing up while setting it up, and you weren't able to accept terms and conditions (button grayed out). Also, one thing I noticed. The phone got into "Factory Mode". Idk what that is, but it wouldn't let me to enable wifi or bluetooth. That little Factory mode thingy got me really confused. Also, I wanted to boot into recovery mode, and I wasn't able to do so. After turning the phone off, and doing the key combo to boot into recovery, the phone rebooted itself (very showrtly after doing the startup vibration) and after that, it seemd to get into recovery, but it stayed at the android logo with an exclamation sign and after 3 seconds it rebooted itself to system.
After that I said, "well, last thing to try is flashing stock rom again". And I did so. Using the Frija software to download the latest version of android for this phone (and using the corect CSC for this phone (CTI)). I used odin 3.12.7 (wich I knew it works because of previously using it with other phones) to flash the stock rom again. I made sure that only Auto-reboot and F.reset time were checked, and started flashing. After it finished, it got to the samsung logo, but got stuck there. Nothing happened (I left the phone there for like 30 min). I decided to hard-reboot the phone and try to factory-reset it, but after shutting it down, it started to be really hard to make the phone turn on. I had to unplug the battery and wait like 10 mins to try again, and I still wasnt able to boot into recovery mode. It just got stuck at the "Galaxy Core 2" logo.
After that first boot, the phone never got passed the "Galaxy Core 2" logo. Just stuck there. After that, things just begun to get worse. It was also hard to get the phone to get into download mode, most of the time it just stayed at a blackscreen (im not shure if the phone ever turned on, but it never vibrated) and did nothing. I decided to try other versions of odin. Tried with 3.09 and 3.04. Nothing, and after every flash, it got harder and harder to make the phone boot.
At this point, I can hardly get the phone into download mode, and if I do so, sometimes I get the odin complete write operation failed error, wich the only way that I've found to solve it is to reboot again the phone into download mode.
I know that the battery is working, I have another core 2 (same exact model) and battery is ok. At this moment I don't know what else to do. Please, help me to get this brick of a phone back to working conditions, I dont want my friend to buy a new phone just to use it to recive calls and charge it.
Some extra notes:
As i've read, sometimes this can be caused by the replacement of the digitizer/screen. This phone seems to have one or both of them replaced, since I can see glue residues on the corners of the glass, where it touches with the plastic frame.
If there is anything hardware related thing to try, I can try to open the phone. I have some experience doing so.
EDIT: As I continued reading through this forum, I found out that some people had luck with Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD, so I decided to try it out and see. Still, nothing changed. As today, I can only use this phone to charge the battery (it dosent actually show the percentage, only the battery icon with a loading icon inside) and boot into download mode
Although, I have to say that after flashing the stock rom with that version of odin made the phone not that hard to start in download mode. I think that it could be something that got corrupted on the eMMC module and it has to repartition it all again...? Does anyone know how to do so?
Regards
Well, tried almost everithing I know. Downloaded rom again with binary nature, tried with odin version 3.12.7, 3.13.1_3b patched and 3.13.3, but nothing. Extracted the PIT file from the CSC file, did repartition, NAND wipe, and nothing changed. I have to say that its certaily easier to get the phone in download mode, but thats almost it. One thing to note, when i select the NAND wipe, it dosent seems to do anything. I mean, in odin Log screen some things appear related to NAND wiping and such, but its really fast and there are only 2 or 3 lines dedicated to that. Is that OK?
Anyway, please, any recoomendation or thing to try would be great, since this phone is now trash, it dosent matters if it starts to get worse, or even unusable (more than it is rn).
Regards
