I tried applying [110% SAFE] 3-Button Combo FiX for Selected/ALL Firmwares
It failed and now I had a Phone ! PC logo. I can get a USB JIG but will it still boot to download mode? If it does, what should I flash it with? stock 2.1? stock 2.2? Please help!! Am I still able to get into DOWNLOAD mode with JIG?? THANKS!!!
P/S Flash this fix on my friend's i9000 and it worked. No Idea why didnt worked on mine =(
Any help please????
Your bootloader is fine if you get the PC-phone blinking icon. Best bet is to send your phone for warranty.
What was your original OS before flashing, 2.1 or 2.2?
You should flash the full package of whatever OS you were on by using the jig to get to the donwnload mode then flashing with Odin.
I will try to make a USB JIG and get in to download mode. Will flash stock firmware and see. Thanks! So if there's still Phone ! PC icon, bootloader still intact?
I'd you still have download mode, I have found that holding all three buttons and when galaxy logo comes up releasing all it works?
Open Odin. In PDA add a new kernel ie voodoo. Put phone in download and connect to Odin. Press start and in 20 seconds all should be good. Always works for me. Just a kernel file though. No repartition. auto reboot checked. Good luck

The phone has no 3 button combo, that's why I tried applying the 3 button fix but it brick. So I hope as long as it still shows Phone ! PC logo, it's still able to get into download mode using usb JIG.
Yes, the JIG should put the phone in download mode... its a very useful tool so look after it.
then when your in download mode, i personally would flash 2.1 with all 3 files and PIT. also check the re-partition box in odin. and start again good luck.

Ok. Sorry. Some people think they've got no 3 button combo when in fact they only have no recovery.

Bricked Screen
(A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
For reference, this is what a bricked Samsung Galaxy S looks like. To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death
A fully bricked phone (as shown on the screenshot) will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.

making (or maybe buy) a JIG is the way to get back to live the phone, even the screen shows nothing.
i had the same problem , while trying to "unlock " the 3 button combo my galaxy s managed to become a brick , so i made the jig and flashed it again with 2.2
i still lack the 3 button combination but whenever i need to get to donwload/recovery mode i use ADB
easier and safer
good luck mate
@danc00: no phone is dead. i know people with a riff box who give this phone life for only 30€.
you only need a jtag / riff box
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7edUXE7jLg
if you want to send it to germany to give it life again give me a message.
first you should search smbdy who has this box in your country
@kako: if the first and the second bootloaders are damaged only a jtag/riff box can help your phone ah or samsung itself i dunno what they use for it
cheers
Please, help me!

if indroid is a tar file, open and verify whether there is bootlader and sbl.bin. You can use 7zip, winrar to open it. If they are not there, its good
Remove the battery
Reinsert the battery
Press volume down key + Press Home Key + press power button. This will take you to download mode. Reflash the ROM
During reflash leave the system idle till the time you dont see reset in ODIN. ensure that during idle process system doesnt go to standby. This usually happens with factoryfs.rfs file
To download mod I can not go. How can I get to recovery mod? I am not sure. Is any way how to go to root of mobile if mobile is switched down?
Please, help me....
recovery is vol up+vol down+home+power. but is the boot.bin and sbl.bin included in the tar of indroid?
NO, there are only: cache.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, datafs.rfs, zImage
To recovery mod I can not get too
So, what do you think about my problem? Can I repair it?
Please, do you have any ideas how to repair it?
Hmm if there weren't any boot loader files then maybe you might have ran out of battery. Try charging your phone and check if the charger animation appears also is the phone completely turned off or does it start then stop?

It doesn´t do anything. The display is still only black. Mobile doesn´t react. But I have mobile conected to charge cable and battery is quite hot so mobile is probably charging.
Disconnect the charger wait till it cools down then try turning it on and remove the battery while its cooling down and what happens when you hold the power button down.

If you can reach recovery that means you can reach download mode. You are somehow pressing volume up + Vol down.... Try specifically pressing vol down key
If that fails, and your phone had usb debugging enabled....boot the phone, it will be stuck in the middle....Connect usb cable and use adb, command "adb reboot download" . I am not sure it will work but its worth to try
He can't boot the phone or go into recovery mode. Something tells me It is his battery
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
wait for some time...remove battery wait for 15 mins...plug it again n go into recovery mode or download mode! tell me and try!
And the rom is already flashed...indroid doesnt come with a bootloader...no custom ROMs these days come! :/
Thank you for your ideas. I have tried this one with adb but nothing. Now I a trying to remove battery and give it again after 15 minutes. I hope to it will be good.
Please what it means that rom doesn't have bootloader?
EDIT: This rom is with kernel but I didn't install this kernel on my mobile. Could it be the problem?

Hmm, basically bootloader is when you start your phone it says GT-i5800 samsung and if it's not there you can't start your phone. Also I need to know can you turn on your phone or not.
Oh I thought something like this.... I can not turn my phone on
So nothing happens when you hold down the power button?
nothing
Okay, so I think I brainfarted and softbricked my Vibrant. I tried to get it into download mode, but pressing vol up+down only gets me a gray battery icon, not the usual download screen. When I power it up regularly, it goes into bootloop. It's never had a problem going into download mode before, so I don't know if there's a malfunction with the vol buttons or what. I certainly seem to suck.
(Ugh, just noticed the no questions in the general forum rule. Mods, please delete)
Pull battery
Plug phone into computer via usb
Hold vol up, vol down, and power
Replace battery while still holding those buttons
U can go to 4shared and grab a app called hot boot, it will put u in recovery

Turn off phone
pull out battery
hold Volume UP and Volume Down
Plug in USB cable to computer
Put battery in
Once in download mode let go of Volume UP and Down
You could always us the toolbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
try to do the same steps but hold the vol up button only (not the down)!
this the only way that i can get into download mode!
These guys listed about every way to get in to download mode. If none of them work, you are doing something wrong...
Are you running gingerbread or froyo?
Button sequences are different. Gingerbread uses one volume button(depending on the kernel either up or down) and the power button, while froyo uses the both volume buttons only.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
(Depending on the level of softbricking you will either see the Android with a shovel or a phone and computer with exclamation mark, both are download modes)
Froyo bootloader:
Pull Battery,
Put Battery back in phone,
Hold only volume up and down at same time.
Insert USB.
GB Bootloader:
Pull Battery,
Put Battery back in,
Press and hold Volume Up+Power button.
These should work without flaw. If neither work for you, you may need to invest a couple bucks in getting a USB Jig.
Same issue witht similar results
I am having the same issue, Phone was rooted, on the Keis Gingerbread Update. When I tried to restore to Froyo, using T959UVJFD it got stuck in a boot loop, Tried to go to CWM cyogenmod using both Oden and Recovery and Odin Failed, Recovery gave me the evil Signature Failed.
So I tried a different Froyo EUGENE373 which bricked the phone. I was able to unbrick with onclickUnbrick (Awesome app, thank You). But when I tried to apply The Factory Froyo again it failed in Odin.
Now, the PC will not recognize the phone, USB divice failed message. I removed and reinstalled the drivers, Tried the Samsung Drivers, the Keis drivers and Hiendall drivers as well as the USB drivers with the ADK / SDK toolkit. I tried to connect the phone to another PC with the same result. I know that I am doing the process to get into Download mode properly, but it only displays the greyed out battery, with the USB unplugged the phoned boots to the Galasy S GT-I9000 Samsung screen and I am not able to get out of it with any button combo.
This is my wifes phone and I am in the doghouse for this one. I have rooted and flashed my Verizon Fascinate with no issues. Thank You for your help. if I can get into download mode I was going to follow the process in the NOOB root, flash sticky thread, unless someone has a better Idea.
PLEASE help, I'm panicking right now. I have had my LG G2 phone rooted for a while but recently I decided to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481196 as my custom rom. I've never done this before and I thought I got through the adb stuff and loki...etc. I was in TWRP and told it to install Buckeye V3.zip and when it finished, it said successful (I did note that it said "unable to mount /system") but I clicked reboot and now it just shows the LG screen and it stays there! I get a blue & green flashing notification light at the same time. I am trying to hold power and up buttons... power and down buttons...etc and nothing is happening other than restarting and going back to the LG screen!
Please help!
Press and hold power button for sometime. Ur phone will turn off and will restart automatically. While restarting press volume down button and power key so that it will boot to recovery.

OMG ok I just got back into TWRP and now I'm afraid to reboot again. What can I do now that i'm in??? Should I try installing Buckeye again or choose wipe? No idea what to do next to get out of this situation.
If u have any other custom rom in ur phone, u Can flash it. Or u can side load a custom rom via adb or u can boot to download mode and flash stock rom if u have the necessary files

If you can access TWRP recovery, you can shutdown your phone by going Reboot > Power Off.
Yes but you dont understand.the guidlines are very spacific that after all the fastboot flashing and final step says that after all flashing it says okay and to immediately power down either by removing battery or in my case with a rogers lg g2 where baterry removal is not an option it says type last command fastboot reboot and hold power while the phone powers down.but it will not power down while still plugged into usb port.well that cant happen as it loops itself.and same thing while i do button combo to get into twrp.i can do all the above no problem if the usb cord is not attached only when i unplug the usb it allows me to do combo and get recovery.i just cant get passed that point where all flashes okay and power down while still plugged in.omg this is frustrating.im gonna throw this damn phone out the window lol
