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.

Flash via PDA in Odin. Use at your own risk, you will be unrooted and fully bloated DI01 after flash. Good for returning to stock, or fixing your breaks.
Please note:
While this should remove Voodoo 4/5 (and anything else), you should take all other paths to remove it first.
Flashes:
Modem
Kernel
System
Recovery
Formats:
Dbdata
Data
Cache
Does not include:
Recovery.
You can get recovery as a separate package if you really need it, from the stickied Odin thread.

so fresh and so superclean.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is highly likely that you have bricked your device. You can head over to IRC and ask one of the devs there (irc freenode #samsung-fascinate), but I'm not sure there is much they can do. Just hope it did not shut off while flashing the bootloader (which is what sounds like happened). If it did, it is a paperweight.

Same thing happened to me. If you can get it back into download mode (mine went back in no problem after disconnecting and trying again) flash a full package a go from there
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/StupidFast 1150lv/AOSP Black

what can i do now ? are there any way to fix it ?
please help me

Did you try what we suggested?
SCH-I500 - DL09/Deodexed/StupidFast 1150lv/AOSP Black

Remove battery.
Hold volume down and plug in USB.
Restart the process.

Note, the first thing you should do if a firmware flash fails, is flash again! If it cuts out halfway (and I assure you that has happened to many of us here), there is no point in rebooting. You are cooked until you get a good flash.
If you are no longer in download mode, power up with [vol -] held down. If you are still in download mode, just flash again. If odin doesn't see the phone, change usb ports. If odin itself crashes, check the file you downloaded (see if it opens in 7zip or equivalent), and download again until you get an uncorrupted version
Bottom line, the moment you start any firmware flash, you are commited. Don't stop until you get it right!

[Q] Anybody in Utah have a jig?

Forgot to charge my phone last night, and that's not really relevant.
I'm stuck on a screen with a "(phone) ... ! ... (Computer)" (exactly like image attached)
Nothing works.. read that a jig would help, but i'm no electrician..
I live near SaLt lake, utah.. hoping someone has a jig i could rent/borrow?

Where in SLC are you. I'm right by the E-Center. I can jig you and send you on your way.

or you can just open odin and plug your phone into your pc and see if you have a COM port showing. if you do , then flash back with it like it is.

I live in west jordan. I'm stuck working on a damn school project until about 9:30 tonight, though..
Tmobile is sending me a replacement phone now, maybe i should just wait for it? Will they charge me if my phone comes back to them with a custom rom on it?

Well thats good...it shows that your phone is being recognized by your pc. What are you using? 512.pit in the PIT line and JFD.tar in the PDA line and repartition NOT CHECKED and hit start? and where does it go from there?
Your just soft bricked and should be able to recover that...

If he/she doesn't have the updated SBL.BIN flashed (came with the JK5 leak and the OTA ) they wont be able to ODIN in that screen.

Follow this thread and click on the link of the first immediate response (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954846), it will take you to a site, follow the procedure, it took me 10 minutes to complete. It will bring your phone to T-Mobile Build as you purchased it.

the problem is, i can't get in download mode. all the links in that whole thread are assuming you can get into download mode. that's why i needed a jig. I'm going to send it back to tmobile for an exchange.

To get into download mode, take out the battery, put it back in, hold both volume buttons only, do not press power and plug it into your computer while holding volume

I appreciate the help, but i've never had a problem gaining access to download mode. I've odin'd back to stock 6 times now and have never encountered this screen.
Now, no matter what i try, i get this. It's fine, i've got a replacement coming. Although i'm certain it's fixable, i'll just let tmo send me another phone. I scratched the screen once, and it'll be nice for once in my life to have a warranty be useful for something

Well for future reference that is how you get into download mode with that specific screen showing

[STOCK ROM]Use for going back to stock before flashing a custom ROM with minimum risk

\\\\\\\\\\\\warning///////////
It seems that phones batch 1010 and newer dont like this method of going back to stock. If you're caught in a boot loop try flashing the official froyo for Captivate. One source can be found here
\\\\\\\\\\\\warning///////////
Disclaimer: Anything you do with the content found in this thread and the content that this thread links to, is your own choice and you are fully responsible for what happens to your phone.
This method is for ATT Captivate ONLY!
We all know that there is a very often used method of going back to stock found here. The problem is that the ODIN OneClickDownloader contains both boot loaders and param.lfs.
These files, if not flashed correctly or if the connection between phone and PC drops while flashing them, can brick your phone for good. The reason why would this happen is because of unreliable USB drivers.
The purpose of this thread is to give flash addicts/custom ROMs users a more secure way to go back to stock - JF6 - without risking bricking their devices.
Do not use this if you want to send your phone back to ATT or Samsung for warranty!
Use this if you want to go back to stock before flashing a custom ROM.
Use this without worries if you changed your boot screen image or if you flashed the secondary boot loader which allows you to enter download/recovery with key combos.
This package contains NO BOOTLOADERS and NO PARAM.LFS!
Download the package from here
Download Samsung Kies and install it. It will install the latest Samsung drivers.
How to:
Remove sdcard and SIM card from the phone
Extract JF6_secure.zip somewhere.
Boot in Download Mode (see below)
Run Odin3 v1.3.exe
Click on the button PDA
Choose JF6_secure.tar.md5
Click start.
Wait and do not unplug cable until it is finished
How to boot in download mode:
There are 3 methods:
Method 1: (ADB) - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
adb shell
adb reboot download
Method 2: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
Method 3: (JIG)

If moderators believe this does not belong in development, I have nothing against to moving it to General. However, I think the community would appreciate if it would remain here.

Works fine
I used this to flash the latest Continuum 3.5 and everything worked fine. Thanks!

you may want to include the info "FOR ATT i897" phones.
as, well... check my sig!~ i got the rogers i896 covered NO BOOTLOADERS! @@ YAY

Yep, updated, thanks!

Thanks for this and I appreciate all your work.

Success !!
Just used this to go back to stock prior to flashing another ROM. Worked with no problems and only took about 5 minutes. Will use this from now on to avoid the possible brick.
Again, really appreciate you providing this for us.

Still not sure why one would use this over the DG Odin? Maybe someone can clarify?
Here is my scenario. I'm currently on Cognition 3.04 which I flashed from stock. It was my first ROM so I didn't have to go back or do anything with Odin. Now, if I want to flash a new ROM, I plan on using Odin, jut not sure which one???

on top of the read phail, i would add that you dont need to flash stock between roms, you only need to do it after a failed flash or a "no wipe" rom that depends on original files, **which they dont do anymore**. All the good full roms do a wipe before flashing. so there is no point going to stock! hope that clearifies!

I did read it, just thought there was something I was missing.
I thought there was more to it than people having bad usb ports. You're saying if one does have a bad usb port and flashing gets interrupted, their phone would be bricked with the DG Odin, but with this Odin it would somehow be ok?

If you own a computer you definitelly heard about BIOS and you heard that if the BIOS gets screwed (CMOS chip burned or bad BIOS update) you can pretty much throw the motherboard.
Well, imagine that your phone has 3 BIOSs
primary bootloader - boot.bin
secondary bootloader - sbl.bin
hidden partition for system images - param.lfs
and that they are dependent on each other and if one of them gets screwed you wont be able to get to recovery and download mode.
The one click downloader contains all these 3. My package does not.
Get the point?

Does that mean your stock rom doesn't include the boot loaders and param.lfs either? I've been dying to try that one when I switch roms. I hate seeing the ATT logo pop up everytime i turn it on.

Oh yea, I forgot to use this a while ago. Next time I'll use this, I promise. Lol. Btw, is it okay to change the text on the .ini file? I somewhat changed the title to my liking.

This happens on a brand spanking new Sprint note 4 right out of the box. I know this because when me and my wife got our new phones at a corporate Sprint store the sprint installer "stopped working" on first boot when they were activating our phones and turning them on for the first time. This is caused by the way they have these installer/preload apk's in the rom and the fact that the installer has to contact the network and actually download files during setup. This is NOTHING to worry about. Simply reboot your phone a second time and the sprint configuration installer will initialize and do it's thing. This is jst a little quirk but I've seen on on stock unrooted phones and rooted phones exactly the same.
