Phone will not go into DL mode

I don't get it. When i try and get my vibrant into dl mode using this method -
Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 2.) *Added this: Power off your phone before trying to get into download mode, and then....*
Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone.
- all that happes is a green battery bar comes up. Tried it on my roommates vibrant and it went straight into dl mode. WTF?
*EDIT - Phone is rooted and running the factory rom. I'm trying to install the JI6 update found here

I really don't understand why its so hard for people to get into DL mode.
Unless your soft bricked you don't need to go through all these steps.
'adb reboot download ' in adb is all you need to do.

It's hard for me because i don't know much about command lines and such. I'm still new to this. My buddy is over here and he finally got it into dl mode by doing adb. So we're at least started

and now i'm soft bricked...

Do You have the samsung drivers installed to use odin ?

Well now you know, my friend.
It's really not hard to learn how to use ADB.
If you plan on messing around with your phone, you should definitely familiarize yourself with it.

yeah, i installed the drivers last night along with odin. we were using odin to install the JI6 update and it stopped midway. the fact that we can only ude adb to get into download mode is frustrating since windows no longer recognizes my phone

Yeah I'm not familiar with adb enough to advise but you should be able to find what you need on this site if I find anything I think can help I'll post back good luck man

now im soft bricked and i cant even go into download mode? what do i do.

Check the bible man its on the sticky by the way email thegreat520 you can search for him on this site I hear he's great at helping people when they are bricked

VooDoo bricked me, can't fix with Odin?

ok guys, i have unbricked my vibrant before after the OTA update about 5 weeks ago. i am pretty new at this smart phone stuff, but was pleasantly surprised i was able to get odin to fix the brick. about an hour ago i launched the stupid VooDoo in the OCLF app and the phone now will go as far as the animated galaxy "S", then go blank. i attempted the Odin flash about 5 times now with the same result each time, just boots up past the vibrant screen to galaxy S then goes blank. when the phone restarts or reboots after the odin flash a message in red reads DATA WIPE FAILED between a few yellow text lines. when i try to reinstall packages through boot screen i get the same message i got after the OTA brick, E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip now the phone was rooted with the OCLF before i launched VooDoo. can somebody help me out?!?

Odin back to stock. That should fix it.

Anybody else have an suggestions?? like i said in OP i have tried to flash back to stock, about 5-6 times now, all with the same result. phone goes blank after galaxy S screen and music. thanks

As mentioned in a million threads, you need to flash Eugene's "froyo that doesn't brick." Then flash whatever firmware you want.

flashed the froyo successfully from eugene. cool set up, major issue though, i have no application storage now. there are a ton of apps in manage apps and i cannot uninstall any of them. can i fix this somehow??

i'm going to try flashing froyo back in it so it works, not select repartition. then restart odin, select repartition and flash the old vj12 rar and see if that works

Never seemed to get the answer to this. What is the purpose of "Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick?"
Why do some people suggest flashing that, before they odin?
Did eugene take everything down from xda, I can't even find that anymore.

i actually found what i though was the froyo that doesn't brick but it was actually his jk2 version. i clicked Eugene's link on one of his posts and it took me to his site and thats were i got it. i did some searching and actually found the "froyo that doesn't brick", it fixed my baby! i couldn't do anything once flashed but i was then able to flash back to jdf then j16 and all is well. i have flashed like 10 roms into her since this weekend with success, i am back to running j16 with some extras as the games i play don't support 2.2

When i'm in download mode, it doesn't recognize it. When i'm in recovery mode, Odin recognizes it. If i turn my phone on and plug it in, my pc recognizes it, drivers are ok.

Any answers, i could really use the help

what version of Odin are you running? not that it should matter. try pulling the batt, hold volume up and down, insert batt while volume buttons are pressed then plug in USB and wait for it to go into download mode then release buttons. see if Odin recognizes it then.

try a different cable too if above doesn't work

Turn your phone off open odin hold down volume up and down,now plug in the usb this will get you into dl mode now you need to flash Froyo ~~~That does not Brick! rom with odin. Right after you flash that get back into download mode open odin first then with the phone ( power the phone off give it a min, hold down the volume up and down keys, now insert the usb cord BAM download mode) flash back to whatever rom you want.

Hey I'm not so tech sabby could you help wit steps to do the same cuz kind of have same prob. With voodoo

Unbricked my phone without recovery mode

I apologize in advance if this has been posted before as I do not frequent this site much.
So I just tried to download 2.2 via kies and ended up bricking my phone. I followed it step by step so I don't know where I went wrong.
So in the process of me trying to unbrick my phone I tried to get into recovery mode with no success.
I got fed up trying to access download mode by vol. up/down and plugging in usb and decided to just go ahead and open Odin with the usb plugged into my phone and laptop still not in download mode.
On Odin it was on ID: COM 10 so i said screw it, I put in the pit and pda and hit start.
What do you know. it worked !
My phone is up and running now and I'm now trying to find an alternative way to get 2.2 on my vibrant.
Just wanted to share.

If you weren't in DL mode then what screen were you on?

The com number is unimportant. There is a deodexed stock version of 2.2 in the dev forum posted you could use that instead of Kies...... I would

I have only been able to access the phone via odin in download mode and the computer-phone mode, whatever its called.
These are the techniques I use to access d/l mode consistently. It depends on which software was installed prior to crash however, as they seem to alter the method somehow.
phone off then vol + and vol -, and plug in usb, the most common one. If that doesn't work, its usually phone off then vol - and power. This seems to be for the older versions of android. Also, keep the back cover off, because if it doesn't work, just pop the battery out and in.

The ID: COM 10 means that Odin is communicating with your phone in download mode. lol

I thought I noticed this too a while back (when odin 1.8 leaked), but I figured my memory from the previous night's flashing was inaccurate. I'll remember to try if I've tried everything else to no avail.

There is a very easy way to get to 2.2.
Root you phone, install CWM and flash a 2.2 rom. There is a Stock 2.2 ROM that will bring you back to un-rooted status if you are worried about warranty.

If you are trying to get into recovery, it's volume up, power and the home button.
Volume down, power and the home button gives you download mode, so it's normal for it to say "downloading" for hours.
try the file xsenman posted. Put your phone in download mode, open Odin, choose the file under PDA, plug in your phone
(make sure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed) and that the ID:COM box is lit, then flash.
Once it is finished, download Busybox and Superuser from Google Play and you are rooted.
By the way, KG3 is a very difficult ROM to get a rooted kernel for.
Ian

I'll try that....
Thhank you very much... I do hope that it works. I am taking a couple days break from it all. spend 9 hrs yesterday trying to simply diagnose, and for some one whom knows nothing about system programs, or tech access points for the phone I think I have done well for a newbie.
So far all I have been able to do is fix every lag in the phone. lol. thank you for the File link and for the walk through

Ian,
How do I insure my "Samsung USB drivers" are installed?
Can you please further explain what you mean by "ID:com box is lit"
Thank you

Re
Samsung drivers are installed together with Samsung Kies. If you already have Kies installed on your computer and it connected successfully at least once before then you have the right drivers.
Now, when flashing anything onto your phone the Kies application must not be running. Make sure you stop it (e.g: by stopping any Kies service from Windows Services).
"ID:COM box is lit" means one of the upper boxes in Odin turns green.
The steps are:
1. Start Odin on your computer and select the PDA and CSC files (you should find more details about what files to flash in other posts)
2. Start your phone in Download mode : Vol. Down + Home + Power until you see Downloadin
3. Connect the USB cable to your phone.
If none of the boxes turn green in Odin you should try different USB ports on your computer. One of them will eventually work.

Really Bricked my new Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch. I have tried everything :(

Hello, I so hope someone can help. I just updated my galaxy tab 2 7 p113 to Android 4.0.4 UEBLH2. That was done automatically from samsung. I wanted to then install the newest update to 4.1.1 jellybean. So I downloaded it from this link. http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...ecli4-4-1-1-jelly-bean-ota-test-firmware.html. I put the official Android 4.1.1 UEBLH2 Firmware on my sdcard then held down my power and up volume and installed it. HOWEVER, it never finished installing. Went all the way to the end. Now I HAVE NO USB CONNECTION and NO BOOT UP. Just black Since I dont have usb connection I cant us oden. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP? I still can put files on my micro disk card and then put sd disk in my tab and use the power button up arrow to install something but I tried installing clockwork mod but that did not work. Iam out of ideas. P.S. My tab IS NOT ROOTED. I tried updating back to and original rom 4.04 I download but that did work. Thank you.

I think you need to enter the download mode volume down+power or recovery mode volume up+power to be able to restore the tab
Try multiple times close the tab even with long pressing power then try the button combinations (press both for multiple seconds) and release to see if you could enter any mode
If you reached download mode try flashing stock firmware for your tab specific model 3113 or 3110 or 3100 via odin (install kies and reboot before)
If you reached recovery (stock) then connect with kies and choose recover firmware from kies options (near the word file in top) you should have active internet connection
You could try charging tab even for some hours before trying button cobinations
If not try to return as not rooted so warranty is goood

Yup, this should get you going again. If you can get into download mode, you should be okay. That's what Odin needs.
Download mode is volume down plus power. Then volume up
Recovery mode is volume up plus power.

I want to thank both the posters on trying to help me. I did hold down the power and download button and it went in to the download mode. HOWEVER, since I can not access usb it did not do anything. Just kept saying downloading. As I mentioned in my first post I CAN ACCESS MY SD DISK FILES by doing the power up button thing. Thats the only way I can get files on. But the DOWNLOADING down arrow just does not do anything. hmmmmmmm will keep plugging away.

I can not understand how you can not access usb, is it a lacking driver so download kies and reboot and try connect again ,also try a different usb ports (esp the rear of case) of your computer
Was usb working before the problem?
do you have cwm or stock recovery?
If cwm so download cm10 or cm9 from www.teamhacksung.org and put in usb card and flash but do a cash delete and dalvik delete afterwards not for boot loop
If stock so try stock firmware from www.samfirmware.com (register their first) and put in sd card and try to flash

I think you're misunderstanding download mode. When you get the device in download mode, connect it then to the computer, with Odin open. The only reason Odin wouldn't recognize it would be a driver issue. In that case, do as the previous poster stated. When you're in download mode, you're strictly flashing through Odin. You aren't going to see the device as a storage device on the computer. The only way your computer can interact with it at this point is Odin. Via Odin, flash the proper p3113 firmware file from sammobile/samfirmware (will be a large 600mb+ file). Once that's done, you should then be back to completely stock and healthy recovery and ROM. Reboot tab and see what happens. If it boots, and you still want to update, then make sure you get the correct ota for the base file you just flashed (that is, if you're trying to upgrade to say Jellybean). If you need more help always ask, but you should be fine. If I lived nearby I'd do it for you.

All I can say is unbelievable help here! Thank you. I am spending hours on this (plus a fortune on this new Tab 2 7). After studying up I do now understand how Odin works and how grabbing the correct firmware will do the job. HOWEVER (maybe others come across this huge roadblock) nothing can be done with out usb interaction. I DID DOWNLOAD KIES and installed it. But no matter what I do can not get any storage device listed or anything going on between tab and computer. Only thing my Tab does is when I plug it in to the computer via usb is go in to charging mode with the charging icon showing. Loading Odin does not show any connection. I have tried different computer USB plugins, 3 different computers (all I have loaded Kies on). Iam sooooooo close. If only while in the POWER BUTTON DOWN ARROW DOWNLOAD MODE and running ODIN on my computer there would be a connection I would be home free and able to flash firmware.

Once you are in download mode, connect your tab to the computer with the usb connection.....you should see a com xx number pop up in Odin in yellow reporting your device is connected thru a communication port. From there you will be able to choose the file you want as a PDA uncheck everything else...reboot...reset timer....whatever. Just make sure you have the correct firmware. There is a Odin flashback to Stock rom in the development section. Make sure it's for your device. Once you start Odin, should take about 4 mins...disconnect and hold the power button down to reboot. That's it....

Hello Everyone Again, I just want to say thank you for all of you who took the time to help. I hopefully will become knowledgeable enough to help people in the forums as I gain knowledge. I finally did find the solution. I did everything that was mentioned. And no matter what what I did with KIES drivers Samsung usb drivers, etc could not get a connection so I could us Odin to keep me back to the orgiginal 800 mb 4.04 original file. My solution was (as mentioned) I deleted all my windows drivers dealing with usb, kies, etc. Then rebooted. I notice even though I did not have a direct usb connection showing up now Odin was showing a connection! So using Odin I got to restore everything and now back to like new. Lesson learned. Hope this helps others that almost fatally brick their tablets. Thanks again for all our help

You have to reflash your tablet using ODIN. It's not that hard. Just follow the second method here (you don't need to download android SDK)
copy this in your navigator bar : rootzwiki . com/topic/37272-verizonsch-i705-root-for-all-current-firmware/ ( delete space around the dot)
Plus, your tab will be rooted.
You're welcome.
