How can I get into odin3
Make sure you have the fascinate drivers.
Pull the battery.
Connect phone via USB to your computer.
Hold volume down button then press power.
That should boot it into download (Odin) mode

It works on my phone. But not on this phone. Is there any other way?
Thanks
Only other way, that I am aware of, is to boot holding the volume down button with the battery in then connect to USB after the downloader launches.
Did your friend possibly install CWM? If so try holding both volume buttons down and going through Clock Work Mod.

Also if you can boot using the second method but don't have CWM installed you can possibly add another ROM named update.zip to the root of the sdcard and use the standard recovery launcher.
This information may be innacurate I come more from Palm Pre tweaking, but I believe that's what I read.

I have never seen a Galaxy S phone not be able to get to download mode.. but I think I've only seen one other person dumb enough to flash a Capitvate rom / kernel onto a Fascinate..
That being said, if removing the battery (don't put it back in), plugging in USB and holding volume-down doesn't bring up download mode, you're screwed. The phone obviously needs to be made inoperable before returning. An easy way to do that would be to disconnect the cable to the screen. Alternatively, and much more dangerously, you could microwave if for a few seconds at a time until it dies.

Are you serious?
Inoperable would be a last ditch effort in my opinion. Mistakes happen. These are the kind of mistakes that not only the OP and his friend learn from but also the community as a whole. If we can get him through this we also learn how to help others that make similar mistakes.
Modding / hacking whatever you wish to call it comes down to learning. We learn what works and what doesn't and we try to help others not make those mistakes. I prefer to try everything before nuking a phone that can be recovered.

Thanks. I hope there is other way to flash it.
Keep trying holding both volume buttons down while powering up. If you can get into the default recovery or the download interface this can be corrected.

To be honest, you cant fix it.
You can get it to boot once again if you can ever get it back into DL mode, but the phone wont work again. Not until we get a leak for a complete odin package, and that isnt gonna happen anytime soon.
I posted on my odin thread and pretty much any other thread i have done that you should not flash any other galaxy s device's firmware to the fascinate, they are not interchangeable like that. I hope he has insurance on his phone.

okay the first phone was my fault. after doing the root process with moto chopper and loki found on android root site I forgot to read the steps required for the wicked ROM. I jump straight to the ROM install but after finishing the install it ask to reboot. Then it vibrates like it is trying to boot up but I never get any video. I tried the reboot recovery button commands but that no longer worked and neither did the hard reset button commands.
luckily walmart exchange that phone for another so then I go home I root the phone and follow the install option for wicked ROM. then the second phone reboots and I get the same vibrating pulses but hard reset works now except it hangs up on the downloading screen. this morning I return the second phone for the third phone but now I'm too scared to try the ROM again because they are not going to let me get another phone.

I think you did something wrong. Did you also flash an AT&T kernel after flashing the ROM? Did you use a loki-doki or a lokified recovery?

So you not only committed fraud by pretending you hadn't broken the phone and voided the warranty yourself, but you also straight-up lied about how long you had had the phone?
On top of that, I'd be willing to bet the phones weren't hard-bricked and were actually recoverable.
That's pretty despicable.

Good Call,
I was wondering how he got an aroma installer version of Wicked.
This should be stickied with a big banner telling users they need to READ BEFORE FLASHING! or Else this could be you.
I was trying to reinstall the firmware after having issues with service mode and followed the odin procedure to do so but it came up failed and the phone as not booted up since.
The phone if just powering on say it need to run a recovery through Kies but that does not see the phone so no joy there, I can get it to download mode but thats about it Odin see the phone but fails every time I try to install firmware. Ive note in gray on the phone it says Write protection enabled

this reverts you completely back to stock. You will lose all your data but you did back up regularly, right?
(edit) you only have to hold the volume UP key while plugging in the USB on a D801 to get into download mode.
Make sure you've disconnected usb when attempting to enter recovery. Hope the silence means you've sorted it out!

If you're trying to unpack the ROM try redownloading the rom.
You're saying that you have CM installed? I had this exact problem and I had PA installed.. it was a mess. I had to sideload the original ROM because to flash with that program your build.prop has to be the original information when you received the phone or else the program will throw a "different phone model"
Do you have the LG usb drivers? Install all proper USB drivers and try to sideload an original ROM.
BTW do you have any backups? Restoring also gets you out of this mess
never mind i opened the wrong folder thanks for everything guys it worked perfectly ^.^

In case you don't know, you can supposedly get rid of it by displaying an all-white screen (with display brightness turned down to preserve bulb life).

Do you know Wug's Nexus Toolkit? Use this to flash a factory image. It is the easiest way if you arent familiar with adb and stuff.
Much better to learn how to flash a factory image with fastboot. You can probably save your data by flashing a cm compatible kernel in fastboot
