I tried flashing my SGS to Froyo. I used Odin 1.3. But now my phone wont boot, i just get a screen with a phone showing that it cant connect to pc... ''Phone''..!..''PC''
Please help
Can you access to download mode ?
If you can try to flash an other fw
No, I only get the "PHONE ----"TIANGLE-----"COMPUTER" logo at start up.
I tried all sorts of button combinations to boot up in download mode, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for your reply though

Your phone is bricked I'm afraid
to begin with you needed Odin 3 or Odin 4
Odin 1.x is not compatible with Galaxy S
if you can enter download mode via the 3 button, you can easily reflash again
if you can't get the 3 buttons to work, send it back to the place where you purchased the phone to have it serviced or warranted

Put the phone back into download mode and flash with another firmware and Odin 1.0
I just had the same problem, took out the battery, restarted into download mode and updated successfully using kies.
i cant get into download mode, i have only been albe to do that through ADB. And when i plug my SGS into my pc nothing happens, it just has the same picture on the phone...
It seems your phone is stuck in download mode:
- remove phone from pc
- restart odin
- mark reboot phone
- connect phone
- if the com port shows up you can hit "start"
hope this works
When this this advice from the (also) Austrian Guy don't help but the Batterie out and wait 10 Seconds.. And then go back to download mode should help..
It's probably bricked like mine, I mean, if you were unable to access download mode with the button combination (Vol-/Home/Power) and you only had access to download mode with adb. I just sent mine to repair today.
My recommendation to everyone is that NEVER flash your phone if you are unable to access download mode with the button combination as it will be rather hard to adb reboot it again to download mode if you don't have access with adb to it
Probably someone comes to say that "I have flashed many times with adb reboot download method and my phone is still fine" but even so, it is not safe to do that.
I installed Amimod that lets me change the transitions between apps, i ran it to change it to a cross fading transition and it said i had to reboot later to make the changes take effect. I kept that and mind and used some other apps. They all didn't load and gave me the "com.xxx.xxxx is unable to continue" type deal with the force quit button.
So i restarted my phone and now launcher loads but the pop ups come saying "com.android.phone is unable etc" or "com.android.media is unable...". There is no status bar and the phone doesn't lock. After about five minutes of trying to press the force quit button, nothing happens. I went into recover mode and cleared my cache but that didn't help.
[tldr] I can get my phone into download mode but is it possible to open the phone as a root folder on my computer so i could uninstall Animod and any changes it made? I don't want to master reset.
ROM reflash is only option.
I reflashed using odin but now its stuck in a boot loop with the att logo. When i plug it into the usb it loops the loading sign and the battery sign. What now?
Have you used odin before?
Which odin did you use?
What build is your phone?
Can you still get into download mode?
I have not used odin before this was my first time.
I used the one that is prepackaged with the .pit and .tar file "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe"
My phone was stock android that i rooted.
Cant get it into download with any button combo.
Under your battery left side on the white sticker. Your phone had a build number. Mine is 1008. 10 meaning 2010 08 meaning august. What is yours
Also tell me exactly what you have tried to get into dl mode
Build number 1011, and now my phone wont even turn on. When i hold the power button it is unresponsive, and its not dead i charged it.

Looks like you will need to try to force the DL mode with the odin instructions or get a jig and see if that works
Download mode
remove all sd, sim, bat
Put bat back in
Hold volume up abd down
Plug in usb
In it works great, if not usb jig
Going forward do not use odin one click use this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&po
i got it into download mode using the button combos (battery out then hold vol up and down etc) and used the odin 1 click downloader for captivate, but it failed twice.
It got to the point where I had to buy some resistors to make a USB jig. The jig worked fine and put it into download mode but Odin still failed...Twice more. Now my phone wont even show the logo when i hold the powerbutton and the jig doesnt seem to work anymore. Its not the battery because i charged it for a full night before i tried jigging it again.
I would try the non one click odin method now except that i cannot get my phone into download mode.
I have no idea what to do now, it seems like its completely bricked.
At this point (if I'm able to replace it) would the workers at samsung or att be able to access my data at all? I only had the phone for 3 months. And would my warranty be void for rooting/flashing?

Hypothetically, yes and yes, but the reality is they will likely just wipe it and reflash it without ever looking at what's on it. Just tell them something went wrong when you tried to upgrade to Froyo via Kies. That's happened to enough people that they probably won't question it.
Ever since I have flashed 2.3.3 I've been having problems.
-Download mode can only be accessed from adb reboot download
-The only way I got drivers to recognize in download mode was to install them from Samsung Kies mini.
-No button combination works to get into download mode, it takes you to recovery mode every time.
-My four touch button lights will not shut off after turning phone off and vibration confirming shut down.
Once I finally got it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click, I used Kies mini to upgrade to 2.2. I still have these same problems, all which started happening after I upgraded to the 2.3.3 SamFirmware leak. Not only have I been reading these problems from this leak but from other roms using 2.3.3.
To clarify, I am not blaming anyone, I am simply looking for a fix or to be told that I have done something wrong. Anything will be appreciated, thanks.

I have tried the 3-buttom combo - volume - and + along with the power. release power when att boot logo comes up. I've even tried to hold power down and let it cycle through the boot logo a couple times before releasing it. No luck, only recovery mode.
remove battery, sim, sd card. hold both volume - and +. put in battery and Usb cable as soon as battery is in. no luck, only recovery mode.
I've even tried the i9000's download mode. I think its volume down and power...only recovery mode.
The only way I was able to get into download mode was adb reboot download. I haven't tried a jig.

I got the same issue. The worse thing for me is I cannot get it back to 2.1 stock via Odin one-click because the driver can't recognize the device any more (It works fine before flashing to GB). How do you get it back to 2.1 stock?

I downloaded kies mini from the samsung site. Once installed, you can find an option to install the phones drivers when the phone is recognized by kies. Odin registered my phone in download mode after that and I was able to one-click back to stock.

I am going to try that.
I had this problem when going to a 2.3.3 rom before, sometimes it just needs a little and some tender loving repeatable connects, other times maybe just to be left alone for a day or two... I'm not sure if this will work but if you can get a com port from Odin 1 click without having to be in download mode I.e. the phone is on, try a master clear, let the phone boot up and see if you were able to get a com port again(leave it connected during boot), then do various methods to get in download mode starting with the GB method
Hope any of this helps at all

Try powering phone off, then while phone is off, hold vol down (just down, not up and down) and insert usb. Should give you dl mode

You're right. It should, but if the 2.3.3 ROM is effecting everyone the same way. NO BUTTON COMBOS WORK. That's just it. You can name it, and I've tried it. It does not work. Only thing that does work is adb reboot download. I have not tried a jig, but why bother if the phone boots.
Does your volume down button work?

It does, indeed. All of my buttons work. Still, I only get to recovery.

I too am having the same problem with 2.3.3 i897UCKF1 boot loaders. I can't get into download mode or recovery. Hopefully a jig will work
Could it be Rom/Kernel issue? Im on i897UCKF1 Boot loaders with Cog 5 B3 and works fine for me. I have that issue before though the phone just didn't want to go in to down load mode for me, but it was with froyo.

Download Android Terminal Emulator from market. Once it's installed, open it, and type su. This should have the app ask for root rights. Once you allow it, type reboot download and press the enter button on the virtual keyboard. if the phone just goes black and doesnt reboot after a short while, just battery pull and turn it back on. You can also use this method to get into recovery by substituting reboot download with reboot recovery.

Sorry for being cryptic on my initial post, this is what I'm dealing with. I can't get the phone out of phone---!---computer screen and I've tried all the button combinations.
here's what I did. I was in stock enclair and copied continuum 6.1 to the sd card. I then get into download mode to flash 2.3.3 boot loaders. That was successful so I booted back into download mode to flash the talon kernel. I changed the zip to a tar so Odin 1.83 can recognize the file in the pda section. I clicked start and odin failed (I didn't know you had to be in recovery mode to flash the kernel it wasn't listed in the instructions I had). I rebooted the phone and got the phone---!---computer screen with this message:
Firmware update failed ! Try going into Recovery mode.
Hope this helps

Does your computer recognize your phone as anything while you're in the phone!pc state? You could try Adam's Once-Click Unbrick.

It sure does, odin recognizes it and the sound comes on when the phone boots
EDIT: It says I need to put it in download mode which is the problem I'm having
Did you try the OCUB I posted? It's supposed to work at that screen. Yes, it does run on Windows lol.

Even though the phone boots - a jig I've found is a GUARANTEED way to get into download mode. A jig is a VERY useful tool and only costs like $8. If you plan on flashing your phone again in the future - it's certainly NOT a waste to buy one.
Recently my SGH-1897 stopped booting. It would go to the clockwork mod screen. From there, I tried to flash a new rom, but it never worked. First it told me I had the wrong rom for the phone I was using, so I downloaded a different one that said it would work for 1897, but it would fail during the flash. Now, it won't boot at all. It goes to the 'at&t World Phone' screen and stays there. I've tried Vol +, Vol- and Power together, but no change. Help?

What did you try to flash? Also, what was installed on the phone before you tried flashing it?
If you can get it in download mode, you can use Odin to flash stock ROM (without bootloaders if you were on GB and up). That should get you back up and running.
If the button combos don't get you in download mode, you'll have to make or buy a jig.
Hi,
First time working with a samsung phone, so im not very used to some samsung realted soft.
I'm doing a favor to a friend, he came to this problem where his phone woudnt boot up, He says one day he run out of battery and coudl never turn it on again.
when i turn it on, it gets stucked at boot image (first attached image), if i try to charge the battery image appears but with the loading logo (the loading logo is not moving), he told me that he also tried with another battery and the same appeared.
For what i've read there is a download mode besides recovery mode. I think i have no problem entering download mode (3rd pic), even though i don't know how to use it, pressing a button does nothing, and pluggin it to a pc (drivers installed it) seems the same.
So i wanted to enter recovery mode, and trying o factory reset it, but when i try to enter most of times nothing happens, the others i get weird screen like the one i attached.
I'm not pretty sure how to preceed now. The only thing that appears to be working is the download mode. If that's the case, how can i flahs the stock firmware on it?
Thanks for reading!

You would do the same thing as if it were custom firmware, goto http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and download the stock firmware compatible with the device
Enter the device in download mode and flash the stock firmware with Odin
Instructions by SamMobile self:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minute

thanks for the reply, i think i might be doing something wrong, ODIN failed, i attach a screenshot, any idea?
I cannot tell much from the screenshot to be honest, all i can point at would be a newer version of Odin as the instructions told: [LINK TO ODIN 3.09]

Same error as before
im downloading some other firmwares to try, but i dont think there is the problem :s
I've been having this issue for months now. It does that exact thing. Try removing the SIM card and starting the phone as normal and see what happens. If it starts then, we have the exact problem. Mine works perfectly WITHOUT the SIM card but....what's a phone without a SIM card right? I've tried putting the Stock ROM on to no avail as well. I think my thread about this is still somewhere around but I doubt anyone managed to solve the problem either.
If you do work something out post it back. Sorry I couldn't be much help.
