I was just rooting my vibrant and when I turned it off and held down the volume rockers, it didnt go into recovery, it came to a screen that has an android shoveling saying Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!
What do I do?
Search.
That's download mode. It's for flashing using Odin. You're perfectly safe pulling your battery and rebooting since you're not actually flashing anything.
You can also press the + volume button and power for a few seconds instead of pulling the battery.
phew, i came across the same problem, and it freaked me out...
thanks for the reassurance

Haha same issue here, except it's my new phone xD
Resolved thanks to you nice members!
Thanks everybody.
you have saved my days. I was stucked with the same problem
Unplug the USB
When this happened to me, I powered off with Vol+ and the power button.
I unplugged from USB and powered on again with Vol+ and Vol- and power button, then I got to the recovery prompt.
Maybe USB cable in triggers download mode?
thx guys =D i was about to cry, my new galaxy s II just pulled the same trick on me =O
This is why in just about every phone forum on this site has a sticky that says very cleary to READ FIRST. When doing stuff like this to your phone or somebody else's phone for them it is important to know what you're doing. You can brick your phone very very easily if you don't know what you're doing. So do some more research,because you didn't even know what download mode was, which if you plan on trying out a bunch of different roms you'll be using it a lot.

then odin back to stock with this process
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
make sure u put the proper .pit and .pda file in there proper places on odin and ur set to go.
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
I am having hard time finding odin or the drivers. Every where I go they won't load. Can I get files or thread where I can find working ones. I am new at this and never used odin before

Go to the development section (if your on a computer) and right at the top you'll see AIO toolbox.. download that and donate to the Guy( he made everything ALOT easier) once you download it everything because explains unself I hope this helps

I think those of us who use technology are used to problems and enjoy solving them. I did the same thing early as I was learning all about my phone; one thing I've noticed is doing research will only help you in the long run.
thx guys =D i was about to cry, my new galaxy s just pulled the same trick on me =O
pulled battery all wasw good on restart

Download mode is very powerful and dangerous. To use this mode you need to be plugged into a computer with drivers installed and an application called odin running. You can just pull the battery out of your phone and turn it back on. You'll be fine.
Hi
I just upgraded my T-Mobile Galaxy S Vibrant using KIES, and since then it just won't turn on! When I press the button to turn it on, it shows de Vibrant Screen, like it would boot properly... but suddenly it stops, the screen keeps all black forever...
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
i believe you are in the wrong Galaxy S section
Let me send you to the one it belongs to.
were you rooted?
Did you have a ROM other than stock loaded? Did you upgrade to JI5 thru Kies? Did you have a lag-fix installed?
This is a soft brick, you need to find Eugenes non brick froyo and follow the instructions
Thx to you all, my problem is being solved with tips & hints here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809567&page=3
Does anybody had been dealing with problem that GT-I5800 just doesn't turn on?
It somehow turned off during the night and now i just can't turn it on.
All it's showing is start screen "GT-I5800" and SAMSUNG in the bottom.
What should i do?
Please help somebody.
I've had a similar problem. Did you flash your phone with JPA or similar?
I was able to flash mine again with JPB, to be more precise I used the pre-rooted custom rom with can be found in the development section.
Start Odin, then select the options you need (one package, tar file etc). Turn on the phone in download mode, and flash it before Odin says 'disconnected' or something.
if you did not flash your phone, I would recommend against trying this.
And mine... thats don't power on... hahahaha
Tried to remove battery and do keys combinations... But phone don't power on...
Maybe i need to sendo to local samsung =/
Hey everyone!
I have never posted anything on a forum before, so please tell me if I do anything wrong. I have searched everywhere to find a solution for my problem, but I found nothing.
Today I accidentally got into the Samsung Recovery Utils of my galaxy 3. I have done nothing to the phone, all original, nothing flashed or rooted. But now I can't get out of this mode, if I restart the phone it automatically goes back into it.
Does anyone know how to get out of there?
Thank you a lot for helping me!
And I hope that this is the right forum to ask this question, as I said, I have never posted in a forum before.
Usually you should be able to reboot from recovery mode. Scroll to reboot Phone with the Volume Keys and klick with the Home Key... Your phone should restart.
Otherwise remove the battery, wait a few moments, plug the battery back in and try it again.
Good Luck
Thank you, I tried both several times, but I always end up in the recovery mode... I have no idea how i can get out of there! Do you maybe know something else I could do?
do the battery thing mentioned above. turn on your phone with vol up+ vol down+home +power (hold them for a while) and then try rebooting from the menu
here's the solution

Hey.. If ur on a Android 2.1 firmware and stuck on recovery every time...
just use the volume keys and chose the option "reboot" ... by the way.. its on default there.
after that just press the central key or called the "home key" two times consecutively..
ur good to go
I tried this several times, but I always end up in the Recovery Menu. When I pull out the battery, restart the phone and hold all those buttons including the power button my phone shows the Samsung Galaxy Logo and then reboots again, and then shows the Logo and reboots again. Only without holding the power button, and only the other ones I get into the Recovery Menu again. I really hope there is a way to get out of this mode! Thank you for all your help so far!
Hey I just saw the post in front of my other one
So yes I'm on Android 2.1 if that helps. And I tried this method several times, but when my phone restarts I always end up in the recovery mode by pressing nothing.
But thank you
try wipeing data and cache
I tried that out, but still rebooted into recovery mode all the time.
Because I couldn't find anything that solved my problem I just decided to flash my phone to a newer original firmware via odin. I just finished flashing and everything works fine as it did before, till now tho. I used the tutorial that is on this forum for flashing my I5800 and it worked perfectly fine, thank you for everyone's help anyway!
Now I hope that they will soon bring back froyo on kies, because it was deleted from the servers again today in Germany so I can't update. Hope that will happen soon!
I would recommend to forget about KIES... I am sorry but this software is a piece of crap!
Keep using the Odin Flasher. If you have some spare time install gsams nice lagfix and be happy about a very fast Froyo I5800
Edit:
Another funny thing about Kies: You can download the current version by using a US Proxy Server, which is also free of these annoying error messages at startup. But still there are much better alternatives, and the newest version (Kies 5 I think) is also incompatible to the I5800 Phone :-/
Yes, I really hate kies, that software is nothing good!
I think I will follow your advise to continue using odin flasher. Which froyo version is the best to install? I still have 2.1 on my phone. and then how do you install that lagfix? Sorry for all those questions, but I'm new to all this.

you are new to this? ok, then go to the development section and see the READ FIRST thread
I have already read through those threads, I just meant that I just started some days ago, I'm not a pro, I'm only someone who just started haha
So today I flashed to xxjpf froyo and I'm having no problems so far. everything is fine so my problem is solved and in addition I have froyo now

So I had Alliance ROM on my phone to begin with and I downloaded this http://www.alliance-rom.com/communit...able-nd7.9054/ and installed it in safestrap recovery mode. After the file was finished installing the phone turned off. (I thought it was going to restart and well that never happened, The phone doesn't even turn on. I've taken the battery out and tried to power it on, I've tried taking the SIM and SDCard out and turning it on. I've left it plugged in and charging and tried turning it on, I'v plugged it into a computer and tried it that way. Nothing that I have tried has worked. If anyone can please help me get this working I would HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT!! I use this phone for work and to keep in touch with my Daughter. Thank you ahead of time for any ideas that may or may not work.
First thing, the link you posted doesn't work. There's dots in the middle. Second, if it won't even boot to the Galaxy S5 screen before the boot animation that could be one of two things. A. It installed a custom boot loader not meant for your device that could be fixed if you could boot to download mode, which you can't. Or b. your phone is physically broken and you'd need to take it to Verizon to get fixed. Right now it's probably the second, but I have little clue as to the ROM you installed.
This has been pretty much answered for you in your other thread. You put a rom meant for note 2 on your S5 , probably not going to be fixable. But your ONLY chance is to get the phone into Download mode. Then odin a stock S5 ROM. No longer any need to panic you have brick so...At this point remain calm and move slowly so you don't make another mistake hope you get lucky.
