This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s
If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:
1. Take Battery out
2. Connect phone to computer
3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button
This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
Add "softbrick" in title.

I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.
To clarify on the OP:
Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.
Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.
Just what i was looking for, but i need the stock firmware for the fascinate sch-i500

I'm trying to TOT my VS980 like I have countless times for replacements and for some reason the usual method to get into download mode doesn't want to work. I power the phone off fully, hold the volume up button, then plug in my USB. It says download mode for a moment but then goes to a black screen and my PC opens about 10-15 different windows telling me "I need to format the disk in drive E: before you can use it."

I've tried the usual things, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and haven't had any luck in case its driver/PC related. The phone is currently running DR87s Euphoria 5.1.1 build and I have no issues with ADB working or getting into the devices file system when its booted.
Any suggestions? I've been looking around for quite some time but can't find much on my specific issue.
Right now you have bricked your phone, however all you have to do is download srk tools and unbrick your phone.

Hey there everyone,
I really appreciate allthe help I've gotten over the years from the XDA community.
Here goes. My wife's S5 crashed the other night and when we try to turn it on or get into download/recovery modes nothing happens except some vibrations and a blank screen ...except once in a while the image posted here will flash on the screen. Please help, there's got to be a way to reflash functional software of somekind.

Can you get into download mode to reflash? It will wipe the phone, but at least you'd have it functional

Nope no download/recovery mode.

If I could do that, I've rooted and flashed enough phones to solve that kind of mischief this is totally wacked. Also I'm having trouble adding a picture to my posts. Why can't I just upload from my computer instead of finding a host online?
Image fixed

You might need to enhance the image but it's crazy nothing will get me into a download mode. Any thoughts?
Hi guys, as i said, my girlfriend's galaxy s4 is stucked in a bootloop when she was playing farmville.
The phone is completely stock and with the last firmware.
I cannot enter into recovery, just can go to download mode, in which the phone is perfectly stable (is stable also when is charging on the pc).
I've tried almost everything and one time i was able to boot the device and enter to the home launcher, turn two pages and then bootloop.
Sometimes (two or three) the device stuck on a green screen like this:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried to:
- reflash the stock firmware with odin, i get no problems and the device PASS the installation but the problem isn't resolved.
- remove sd card
- change battery
- play with the power button
I've no idea on how to fix this, why i can enter into download mode and bootloops finish?
A big thanks to everyone.
Probably hardware failure. You can try to flash the rom with .pit file and re-partition as a last resort. If it still wont boot then, then you have hardware failure.
Thanks Lenny, but how is it possible that in download mode the phone is perfectly stable?
I have an issue with my Rooted Galaxy S5 SM-G900H MarshMallow:
I have used it normally before. But yesterday, when i restarted it, it automatically went to Download Mode.
After waiting for a long time in Download Mode, i decided to turn my phone off by removing the battery.
After that i've gotten a BIG ISSUE:
- My phone still boot normally (I can hear the Booting Sound) but nothing appear on screen. "SamSung Galaxy S5" doesn't appear too.
- The "Recent App" Key still light (see the picture) after booting.
- I can't turn off my phone unless i remove the battery.
- I still can get into Download Mode and flash ROM, but nothing appear again !
I've tried to fix it. I've gotten into Download Mode and used Odin to flash stocked MarshMallow ROM successfully, but it hasn't been solved.
Is it a Hardware or Software Issue? In case of Software Issue, How can i fix that? Can i flash Bootloader to fix it?
Please help me!!!
Here're the picture of my phone after booting:

Looks like a serious issue. I do not know what is the reason.
I was trying to root and mod my spare Galaxy S8 and during the process the battery died... now it is stuck on the boot screen. When it turns on it opens to the custom Samsung boot screen and does not change or boot any further. When I reboot it with the button combination it boots into upload mode. From there I must reboot again. I can still get into download mode and into android recovery mode, but have been unsuccessful at and attempts of flashing with Odin, ADB, or from the SD card. I am completely confused. Any advice will help and be greatly appreciated!

Use modded Odin with the latest firmware which is QL1.
Stop trying to root
I having a similar problem, just that it DID finished updating. Now it's stuck at boot screen even after updating it to the last version available (AQL1). I don't know what else to do....
well I gave up and finally went to Best Buy and spoke with a samsung employee.
I was able to get my phone back in 100% working order! He just used his special scan tool and flashed it the very first time. For FREE!!!!!
