ohhh wait i forgot to mention one more thing u dont hold the power button during the process just only the volume up+down button
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
You need the Nexus S drivers.
None of this iis working!

ok .... first you need to find a flashable vibrant 2.2 kernel, that has the new edifiy script (I used eugene's 2.2.1 deadhourse kernal with added edifiy) .... go into recovery, flash the kernal, then from the recovery ,reboot recovery .... DO NOT TRY TO BOOT UP THE PHONE ....then you will need ODIN and JFD stock rom ...set up ODIN ,pull the battery ,and replace it, then press and hold vol up and down and plug in the usb .. the phone should now be in download mode .... make sure you use a pit file and select reportion in ODIN.... hope this helps .....
I just had this problem. Easiest way for me to get my PC to recognize my phone was to connect it to kies mini and then have it download the drivers. It will download the nexus s drivers and then Odin will recognize your phone. From there, you're good to go.

This is Development. Your phone is not bricked. This is a waste of board space. Developers (who this board was created for), need this space to test their work and receive feedback.
yes I majorly effed up. installed a rom or at least attempted to. Rbooted device then got thrown into the endless boot and reboot mode. powered off device then back on. same deal. put my phone into download mode by pressing the volume up and down combo and it worked. okay went into odin and went to flash and effed up once again. now Im stuck on the |PHONE--/!\--PC| logo. read up on all posts in here about it people have had success but i am not one of them. my phone isnt hardware locked since I was able to get into download mode via key the three key press. what on earth have i done? shoul I call it in and have it replaced or try something elese. oh and wehen I plug my phone into pc it downloads th drivers it needed but doesnt show as connected. ugh what am I doing wrong?
The phone pc logo is the download mode. Odin away back to stock. Just press start on Odin.
how? which buttons should I nnot check off and how to i flash to stock? im a effen noob and played with fire when I shouldnt have

1. Power your phone off all the way.
2. Unplug the cable.
3. Fire up ODIN (as admin if you have vista/7)
4. Hold vol. up and down, and plug USB into phone.
5. ODIN should now detect your phone, and you will be in download mode.

Looks like you soft-bricked your phone. Try this method to get into download mode.
1. Take out your battery.
2. Unplug your USB cable, and plug it into the computer.
3. Plug your USB cable into the phone.
4. Hold vol up and down.
5. While holding those 2 buttons, plug the battery in.
That should put it into download mode.

after that what should i do
You research flashing back to stock with odin. All the files you need can be found here. You will need odin program, eugenes no brick file, stock pit file, and stock jfd file. It will get you back to stock . Then re-root your phone download rom manager, flash clockwork mod, and install rom if choice. Its all about researching. Also look in youtube fir how to videos. It's all out there.

I TRIED EVERYTHING the phone will NOT get into download mode... i forgot my got damn password to my gmail and now i cant even activate the phone.. i found out i can use odin3 but the thing is no matter what i do it will NOT go into download mode
Pull battery. Plug phone and computer using usb cable. Hold both volume up and down. Insert battery. Works everytime unless of course you flashed i9000 boot loaders in which case only hold either up or down.

Do this + try tapping the menu key and or the home key while holding down the other buttons.......... there is a timing trick to this but one of these will work . Also in Q & A S14274N Noob bible has all the other ways check it out.
as a last resort u can always get a usb jig to get u into download mode!

If thats red recovery, voodoo, then go down to voodoo and in there should be reboot to download mode.
If its not there or you dont see red then search in recovery as some have dl mode. Also if you have adb set up on your computer and you can get to recovery then in command line type adb reboot download.

Try this:
Take the battery out and put it back. Then you should hold both volume keys while plugging the usb cable to the phone. Don't release the keys until download mode appears.
maybe ur hardware locked? s thats why u cant get into dl mode!

What ROM are you running?
If you are completely stock, then use Kies to update to the latest official stock ROM, this will fix your 3 button issue via a SBL fix.
I love the SBL fix.
Basically, thats whats going on. I've followed instructions on various threads, tried everything. The phone simply will not boot into recovery no matter what I try. Is there anything left I can do?
Let it sit for a day and try again. It worked for me many times in the past. Sometimes Odin would recognize my phone that wasn't even in a download mode.

Was fastboot enabled? Have you tried pulling the battery before attempting to get into recovery?

try to odin back to stock
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Or try that same method without holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb that works for some ppl
The vibrant is tough to hard brick so keep trying
