seens a hard brick. what u did to get this?
Try taking out the battery, starting Odin on your computer, plugging the phone into the usb cable connected to the computer, and while holding both the up and down volume buttons stick the battery back in to get into download mode. From there you should be able to Odin back to stock.
If that doesn't work you're SOL. You'll have to do what was suggested in your thread in general.

If you truly are hard bricked you are gonna need to find a JIG because that's the only way out of that. Other wise take your battery out god down the volume keys and put it back in and you should see the download screen. If you don't somthong deeper is wrong.

You need to purchase a (JIG) like the previous member suggested and try getting in download mode, you can buy one on eBay for about $3 simply search for (Download Mode USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant). I hope this helps.
have odin up pull out your battery plug usb into phone then hold power and volume down and insert battery at the same time this should get you into download mode. It may take 3 or 4 tries to get it. you have to pull battery before plugging mini usb into phone and must do the button combo and while inserting battery it would be easier being an octopus to do this but it should work if it doesnt you will need a jig. It is very hard to fully hard brick vibrants keep trying this method it took me 5 times to get into download. search the vibrant forums for odin for noobs it will give you links to all files you will need to get back to stock and start over. pm me if you need further assistance.
thank you, still trying but no luck. Im going in for surgery for my cancer so wont have much time on the phone for a wile
It's Hard Brick. Dont waste your money on JIG, it does nothing. You have to JTAG to recover Bootloader on your phone

I too have the same problem since this morning. I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxt 4G SGT959V and after rooting and downloading kernel files, it was only going to the T Mobile logo. Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???
I would like to know what should I do for getting my phone power on or in download mode. I have tried all the above mentioned steps, but it just not works. Duh!!
Please someone help!!

hey guys, i have a gt-i9000m and ive been flashing it with odin with no problems. most recently i went back to bell's stock rom, jh2 i think its called? i decided to try and update with kies to jk4 with the kies registry mod. it downloaded the update and everything fine, and said to wait for the phone to reboot.....i waited and waited and it never turned back on. now it is competely dead, cant get into recovery or download mode, doesnt do a single thing. any help?
also, i tried taking the phone to bell to get repaired, but since i bought it second hand and dont have the P.O.P, they wont do anything to help me. bastards!
Can you connect to usb on your pc see if ADB detects your phone? Try Odin as well.

no it doesnt show up, doesnt turn on at all....
Check this out:
http://techie-blog.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-i-unbricked-my-samsung-galaxy-s.html
will this jig method work on a phone that doesnt even power up at all?
The jig method is a perfect method. Resistance value should be very close to 301k. Dont press any button and dont touch the resistors while inserting.
You should have Galaxy S usb drivers installed.
If you have already installed Kies then follow the nest step.
Jig will take you into Download mode. After that use ODIN3 version 1.7
to flash stock firmware.
Good Luck.
hmm ok ill try this out! ive got a box of resistors, now i just have to figure out how to make 301k....
im a little skeptical that this is gonna be able to revive my phone. i used to have the 3 button ability, now it doesnt even turn on...

This is a 3 button fix released by Bell Canada.
But obviously you have to use the JIG first of all.
Then use ODIN3 version 1.7
1. Select the above mentioned file as a PDA file.
2 . Select the PHONE BOOTLOADER UPDATE option in odin.
3. Remember do not select Re-Partition option.
Press Start. It will fix your 3 button Download mode and Recovery mode option.
Good Luck.
the jig didnt do anything....
Had the same problem. Bought mine on Craigslist, no receipt. Try a 3rd party repair shop if all else fails. It's honestly less than your monthly bill from your service provider. And if you factor in your time trying to find the cure, way less. Mine cost $72 to replace the M/B, and others have said about a hundred for theirs. It's up to you, but it's another option.
Is your Battery ok ? Because you are saying that your phone does not even turn on when you press power button.
If it is not a battery problem and the phone shows absolutely no sign.
Then it can be a hardware problem.
Because mobile should show some sign for example Mobile and Computer picture, the light on the back key.
However,can you show me the picture of your JIG.
I have tested this JIG on almost 10 mobiles. 100% working. But they were turning on by pressing power button.
Actually when you connect the 4rth and 5th pin of your micro USB with some
specific value of resistance , triggers some function and 301k triggers DOWNLOAD MODE.
The BELL version of Galaxy S has some issue with the INTERNAL SD. I have seen many cases of SD failure on this forum.
And their after sale service is also very bad. People are spending a big amount on this specific model and see what they are getting.
i think is been discuss before, so please don't hate me for this post.
I was on Nero v2, I was trying to flash back to stock, i didn't know i had a hardware locked vibrant, so when i was in odin, my phone got stock in cache.rf something like that, them shut off, now I have a phone to computer w a yellow triangle in the middle, i can't get to put my phone back to download mode to safe my life. Please any advice.??
*BTW: i tried every possible combination that i found here, but nothing.

I thought that too then I remembered this is not a religious forum.
Anyway, sounds like you will need the jig, read up in the bible sticky (now that does sound religious) if the other ways to get you into recovery do not work, then the jig will do it.. You could just go get a 301k resistor use a wooden toothpick and shove it into the usb side between to 2 contacts (2&4?) and then plug into your phone and that will work check on the link the above sent you. don't worry you will get out of this, I only know of handful of people who really bricked the vibrant and they are super tweakers.......this is solvable.

You need to get into download mode:
try this:
reboot your computer
pull the battery on the phone and leave it out
plug in the usb to both comp and phone
hold both volume keys
put in battery while holding the volume keys
That should get you into download mode
Then odin this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
MAKE SURE you click the PDA checkbox not phone when you odin.
im not sure that I have hardware mode but to get to download mode.
I pull the battery to make sure the phone is off. Hold the volume key and plug in the cord. Make sure you have odin with all the proper files ready to go ... Once you plug in and see that you have a com.. you can just hit start. Oh and pull your simcard and sdcard out also.
aslong as you see that phone and computer symbol your phone is never dead.
Hello,
While I was installing a new ROM for Galaxy 9000I s with Odin the USB cable has been disconnected.
And the phone now doesn't start up or even turn on the screen black light.
But the screen shows a phone icon with PC icon with orange the angle between them with ! sign
- Tried to re-connect it to my PC but the Samsung Kies doesn't see it .
So, please tell me what to do to fix this problem..
Thanks for advance
I take it you don't have the 3 button mode, therefore you'll have to make the usb jig to allow you to re flash the phone, search for how to make it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
yeah, just go back into the download mode
then you can flash the ROM again via Odin
Since no one has mentioned this,
To enter download mode, you hold the Volume Down + Home + Power
I've had the same problem. Couldn't enter recovery and download mode at first. Pull the battery and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. After that i was able to enter download mode

Yes that works also.If you take the battery out,make sure you leave it out for more than half hour.In the meantime press some buttons on the phone to make sure to get rid of all the electricity stored in capacitors in there.When i had this problem i left the phone for 20 minutes and nothing happened.Then i read on a website that it might take more than half hour so i left it about 50 minutes,got recovery after all,factory reset all good.

Sorry for your trouble. This is definitely bad luck. There are the risky heat methods but I wouldn't recommend it.
Just claim that it fell out during Kies update or something, definitely don't tell them you were trying to flash on stuff with Odin
I always used to wonder what would happen if the USB disconnected / computer went into sleep mode or crashed when flashing a ROM. Thanks to the unfortunate OP, now I know! And I hope they fix his problem without making any fuss.

So yesterday my Kies said there was a new firmware for my SGS, and after backing up my data with kies, i started updating it. The update got stuck at 71% for 2 hours, so i decided to disconnect the cable and recover the phone afterwards. But i cant get to connection mode or download mode, I've read lots of threads in this forum, tried many combinations, tried to release power when the icon disappears, but nothing... The image with the phone, triangle and computer appears all the time, and i haven't seen anything other than this.
Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone when connected since i tried to update the firmware.. I have also tried with Odin, but i got the same result.
So, anyone can help me? I won this phone in a christmas contest, and they haven't delivery the warranty yet, so im kinda stuck.

The same thing happened to me a month or so ago, I managed to get it in to download mode by removing the battery, putting it back in and being very quick with my fingers to get it in to download then flashed with odin.
You backed up your data did you back up your original rom by any chance ??

very good point.
If you want to fix it yourself the mentioned battery pull will probably work.
(pull the battery out, wait a few seconds, put it back in, voldown-home-power and you should be in download)
I had a similar problem some time ago (Phone ! PC screen)... I disconnected the battery for half a day came home from uni and put the battery into the phone, while holding ALL (hard) buttons at the same time... then, download mode actually went through

If you remove the battery for some time(10 min.) and you still can't access download-mode then Sbl on your device has been corrupted while kies did flash the ROM, take it to a samsung service center and get it fixed.
You probably have done this but ensure your usb cable is REMOVED until you get the download mode working.
Personally I'd use the jig. As soon as you have that jig built you can have your phopne working again (and updated) in less than 30mins. Who knows how long it will take the service centre to fix it.

I agree, but im from Portugal, and i dont have any nearby store where i can buy all the materials. What i can do is order the micro sim thing from amazon.co.uk, and the 301K resistor from somewhere else..
ps: the sellers of resistors in amazon wont send them to portugal, only the micro sim plug
Alright, so my Continuum has been bricked for some time now. I was attempting to root and install a custom recovery through ODIN but got messed up somewhere along the way and in effect bricked my Continuum. It wont turn on, wont indicate charging and wont do anything else I try to get it to do. I'm reaching out to you Continuum experts who know something about ODIN or un-bricking so I can potentially bring my Continuum back to life. I loved that phone, but my stupidity ruined the fun. I'm thinking that if there's some way to re-enter download mode that might help. Thanks everyone!
There is a sticky thread about bricking your phone. It says enter the irc and wait. There isn't enough info given to decipher the problem. And if you can't get into download mode, I don't think you really can't do much but take it in to Verizon. But there may be hope.... in the irc.

Sorry, what are the button combinations for download mode? I should also mention that I have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not my battery is even charged anymore because they phone does nothing when I plug it into the charger. In fact, my computer doesn't even recognize when I plug the phone in.
Alright, so I guess the first answer to my question is actually getting into download mode. I'm attempting to charge the battery as we speak.

Not sure if you're still looking to fix this, but try to make a download mode jig, or buy one, like they use on the GSM variants of the SGS phone lineup. It works on the CDMA models, but usually isn't needed. If that doesn't work, you may be able to try the Fascinate un-brickable mod, though I don't know if that will work or not.
