I used to love your ROMs for my old Touch HD.. good to see you now have a Galaxy S!
Not so sure from your posts above what method you have tried. When are you trying to connect Odin? You need to be in Download Mode first, fire up Odin, then connect your phone...
Is this what you are doing?
Also, which version of Odin you using? In Win7 you may need to right click and run as administrator?

The best way is to look on the odin how to here in forum

Brother, use Odin3 v1.7 from my signature & see if it detects? A lot of guys have recovered their phones using 1.7. trust me.

pull the battery
wait a few seconds
put the battery back in
hold vol-down + power + home
You should get into download mode
connect the phone physically to the pc
flash a ROM or a kernel or whatever you desire
I wish you good luck^^

Close any kies process running in background and try again

its completley dead now:S
is there anything i can do to force a start to anything
maybe with a software setup on the sd card?
or a script
most devices have a code wich will hot restart the phone to bootloader
read something about a jig you guys think it will work

The jig most likely wont work if the phone is completely dead, you could try a hairdryer it seems to work sometimes. Otherwise its back to samsung.

can you link me to a page with the hairdryertrick?
cant find anything on google about it on how to do it

Maybe you've tried this already but I've had this problem after a bad flash and the phone wouldn't boot up anymore. I just remove the battery and all good again.

thanks for all youre help guys
i didnt have any succes and i gave it back so it can be ruturned to the provider
hope it falls under warranty
did yours fall under warranty or under insurance of youre phone?

If you bricked your phone than pm me i helped many of peoples

Possible bricked device

Im unsure as to whether my Galaxy S is completely bricked.
My Galaxy S is stuck on a screen displaying - Phone ! Computer
I can't access download mode by the 3-button combo or by the USB jig.
Is there any way I can either boot the phone or get to download mode so i can flash with odin.
PS - I got to this stage by accidentally unplugging the device when flashing firmware in odin.

probably the answer is no im afraid if 3 combo AND USB jig isn't working...

Take the battery out for 10-15 min then place the battery and try Download Mode or the USB-JIG and see if get's to Download Mode.

Find someone with a riff box ... if your in the uk inbox me

A friend of mine had a similar problem but the phone didn't show anything on the screen, I told him to do the button combo for donwload mode hold them for 10sec and connect it to the pc with odin open and it just work btw the screen wasn't showing download but it was, give it a try who knows

I can't go to download mode or recovery mode . It scews me

if you have no way into download mode your screwed. Look for different ways into download mode and see if you can get it

If you forsure cant get into download mode ask T-Mobile for a exchange. It is very easy to complete and since it happened after an official update you should have no issues completing the exchange

try pullin battery. plug phone into computer. hold volume up and volume down. put battery in. prest-o change-o you should see an android w/exclamation point in a triangle. if this fails a jig from skorpion(I believe that is his name) might help, just fyi ur vibe is probably 99% un-brickable.

Try to connect ur phone to pc & if you' ve seen an icon phone+pc+!, your in download mode..odin can read it..or you can simultaneously hold vol up + power to get into download mode

Even after removing the battery and trying from USB power? Have you tried different cables/ports/computers?

man i try every possible configuration (done flashing a lot never have problems before cm7 i always was able to go back with odin)

It was a bad connection... biggest give away was the color...wait a solid color right? Like everything went blank and it turned orange? If so then its your cable use a different cable....
Also did you have repartition check as well as auto reboot?
Not to be that guy but better me than some jacka** but this posted in the wrong section should be in q&a

Keep trying all the suggestions. Sometimes it just gets picky. Try it without a battery and with a new cable.

i have had this too
I have had this too in green, blue, and red before. I have been always been able to fix it by waiting with sdcard and battery out and trying it later.

People have had success by popping battery in and out several times and simultaneously trying to get into download mode.

You're attempting to put it in download mode *before* connecting the cable, right?

that helped im in download mode
thanks kennyglass123

As VassagoX suggested in his posts I have had luck a number of times where I cannot get into download mode on a failed odin flash until I try with no battery in the phone and usb into pc.
1) remove battery, leave it out.
2) start odin on pc
3) plug usb into pc, and phone
4) hold 1, hit power (still no battery) to go into download mode.
Glad you were able to get it working. Figured I'd throw this out there again in case it can help anyone else.

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

Is there any way to save my tablet if there is NO firmware out?
Im talking about the SCH I705, I followed the root guide, and it got ****ed up.
Unable to boot into recovery (it goes to Odin "could not do normal boot.")
Tablet seems unresponsive sometimes (to power on/off)
Will boot cycle occasionally

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.
P.S : This limitation of URL is annoying as hell.
