My phone was working fine then i pulled it out of my pocket and the buttons were lit but screen would not turn on. I pulled out the battery to restart the phone but when i tried to restart it will only gets to the first boot screen then it shuts off. I cant get into recovery mode but can get in to download mode. So i used odin and tried to reflash the rom but it still does the same thing. Also when i plug in the phone in the battery symbol keeps loading then shuting down then loading over and over. Anyone else come across this?

Is this a Bell I9000M Galaxy S vibrant by chance?
yes it is sorry about that its the i9000m bought from bell. but the recovery mode worked before it froze it doesn't boot up long enough to get to it.

Sounds like the same problem I had. It was a dead internal SD card. And from the pile of threads already on here relating to the issue, unfortunately there is no fix other than sending it back to Bell for repairs/replacement.
Thats to bad thanks for the info

Hi all,
I accidentally loaded an AT&T ROM onto my Galaxy S. Now, I cannot boot it to downloader mode to flash another ROM. Anyone can advise?
Everytime, it boots into the AT&T splash screen and the screen turns on and off ... regardless of the key combo I used.
Thanks.
try volume up+volume down + power buttons
instead of power+volumen up+home buttons
No go. Tried alot of different combinations and the phone just won't go into downloader mode. Worse is the phone absolutely refuse to boot up once it is plugged in (whether USB or charger). When it's plugged in, it will not even display the battery charging icon.
When not plugged in, it will only boot to the AT&T splash screen and then goes into an endless loop of showing the screen and showing a black screen.
Think I have absolutely bricked the phone. I need advise. Can Samsung reflash the phone if I bring it in? I am willing to pay for them to do so. Or must the whole motherboard be replaced? If the latter, I am not willing to do so as getting a new phone will cost much cheaper (I still have a line I can recontract)
Bump. Anyone?
Welcome to the club; there's no solution yet
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735462&page=5
try this, i read from else where...
Let the bricked phone turn on, let it go into the stuck screen.
after a very looooooooong while, it will turn itself back off
after that, use the 3 button combination to turn it back into the DOWNLOAD mode
hold Volume Down + hold Home + hold Power
2 sec later should go directly to the Download Mode screen

can you get into the Download mode?
if you can then it's easy with Odin
anyone able to fix this problem or get back to download mode
I bought the phone back to Samsung and they also cannot do anything. In the end, they changed the whole motherboard. Thankfully, they did it under warranty.
Hey guys I think I actually did it. I was going to install the JPC Froyo Rom, and somehow booted into recovery in the ROM. Now whenever I turn the phone on it boots into recovery, and none of the button combinations work for putting it into Download mode so I can flash back to stock. On the i9000 thread it says that if you get into this situation you cannot flash back. Any of you guys run into this issue? If not then it looks like I'll be trying to convince an ATT rep to give me a new phone
Try powering off... Then hold vol up and down buttons then plug in usb.... That happened to me... Your not bricked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Connect to adb and run reboot command
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Nope
Nope sorry guys I know all of what you just said. As for plugging in USB while holding volume buttons, it'll just go to that battery charging screen, and adb doesn't work because it doesn't boot past recovery. Sorry guys but yes it was bricked. It's okay though because I just went to ATT and since they can't identify the problem they just replaced the phone
Thought mine was bricked one night, too. Same scenario. Tried dropping the SIM and SD card out even though I didn't think it would make a difference, but it did. Got to download screen and reflashed with ODIN.
Good luck.

If you pull the battery, then put the battery in. hold both volume buttons buttons, and then plug the phone into the computer, it didn't boot to download?
Im curious if you even tried to use the Odin one click thread
There are 4 or 5 ways in that thread on how to get to download mode. And how exactly does this relate to development...just another curious thought. Well, you are getting a new phone, just hope that ATT or Samsung don't try to figure out the cause of your phone being "bricked".
AGAIN!
Okay after this I swear I won't be messing around with Froyo anymore. Here's the story: I got into download on the replacement captivate. Tried to install JPC froyo, but it never started flashing so I unplugged it from Odin and then tried to turn it back on. It goes to the normal "connect phone to computer" screen. However no attempts to get back into download mode have worked. Holding both volume buttons and power until second black screen doesn't work, booting while holding volume down doesn't work, holding both volume buttons and then inserting USB cable doesn't work. I think I'm stuck in this screen unless there's some incredible way I have yet to try. Anybody have any ideas? I would greatly appreciate feedback from the experienced users (Zilch25, designgears, kaik, reaver117), because I think I'd be pushing it trying to get it replaced a second time in such rapid succession
To flashman2002:
I put it in this section because it's in the development section that most flashing and such occurs so I thought there would be the greatest knowledge base. And yes I've pored over the one click thread and none of the methods mentioned there have any effect!
Jeez, I just scared the **** out of myself. I ran the remove lagfix script and it rebooted my phone but it was just a black screen. So I take the battery out. Bad Idea. It showed the ATT screen but just black after that. I could get it into recovery mode but not download. Then I messed some more and would only show a vague disconnected pic.
Finally I got it into download by doing this: (had odin open before hand)
1. took everything out including sim and usb cable.
2. quickly inserted battery and held volume buttons and very quickly inserted usb.
I'm pretty sure its the speed that matters because I tried about 4 times and only when I did it really fast did it work.

Nope. Unless you can do this with godly speed I dont think it'll work. I just got to the "Connect Phone to Computer" screen again.
You had the usb in before anything appeared on the screen right?

Yeah originally. I can get to that screen now by just putting the battery in and holding power button. It seems to behave exactly like it normally would, just can't get out of it.
What screen? The screen you want has a big yellow triangle and says download.

No it's on the phone...!...computer screen. That's what I'm saying, it's been stuck here for a while and none of the methods described on the one click thread work. I've been here before and just holding volume buttons and holding down power for it to boot twice and releasing would do it. Not so anymore. Can't get into download mode doing anything!
Well I read In the SRE thread I think that there are reports of newer phones not responding to any button combos. Bad batch they said not on purpose...
Also for the i9000 apparently you only have to hold the down volume key so since you flashed a i9000 rom try that if you haven't already.
You cant get into recovery right? Just holding volume and power then letting go of power after a bit?
Adb reboot download...

Nope none of it works. I just got it replaced less then 3 hours ago and I already bricked it. I hope somebody finds out something that'll get this fixed. Maybe some way to force download mode through a computer application or something.
Well theres adb like mentioned above but im pretty sure that requires at least recovery mode working.
Like i said before i was stuck on the same screen so maybe theres still hope.
If all else fails someone will figure out how to JTAG these things eventually...

I know it doesn't help you out now, but when you remove the lag fix, just leave it set on the black screen. It's doing its thing. It will reboot when it's done. The home keys should still light up if you press them in this state...
Well thanks for your input anyway guys. Hopefully somebody figures something out. For now I guess I'll keep the SIM in my old iPhone 3G so I at least have a phone. Tomorrow I'll go to another ATT store in my area. Chances are the rep won't know what the hell that screen means and will replace the phone promptly.
[Q] Bricked? Stuck on either white AT&T screen or grey, frozen battery screen, no USB
While trying to install Cognition v2.2b3 via Clockworkmod (from stock at&t 2.1 froyo) something happened mid-install and my phone ended up rebooting, and I have not been able to turn it on since.
-When attempting to power on normally, phone shows white AT&T screen and hangs there
-When attaching USB, phone shows battery screen but battery is all grey and rotating progress icon is frozen. Does not appear to be charging.
-Computer does not recognize phone in any state. Latest USB drivers are installed and I have had no issues connecting via USB previously.
-Cannot get into download or recovery mode using any volume/power button combination or through adb. Also tried attaching USB with ODIN running while attempting button combinations, inserting/removing battery etc, still nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anything else I should try?

Go into Download mode, hold both volume buttons down and plug your phone into USB. If it doesn't work than pull the battery and try again.
If that doesn't work keep trying until it does. I'm serious, it took me like 40 tries last night to flash stock with the 1 click and then finally get cognition running (that only took one flash)
Odin is a piece of crap, it works maybe every 10th time for me. I've never used the rom manager to install roms, always use clockwork recovery. Less to go wrong if your in recovery mode I suppose.
But literally just keep trying until it works o.0
Hi. I've experienced exactly the same this night. Try this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911 it helped instantaneously.
BTW, you really need to wait at least 10 secs after removing battery.
I have the exact same problem.
My battery screen shows up with nothing but a flash loading icon and a grey battery. When I simply turn my phone on its stuck in ATT boot screen. I tried the instructions many times trying to get into download mode but right when i put it in the battery while holding down up/down/power it simply just shows the "frozen battery charging" screen again.
HELPP
Second time to edit this post...
Tried to get S7 on and it got stuck at do not turn off target. then screen went black. Not sure what happened.
Phone wouldnt turn on but would go to download so i attempted to flash it back to stock with I897UCJF6-Final-OCD-REVO
That successfully completed 100% unplugged the phone and powered it up and now it is stuck at the "AT&T World Phone" screen
It just sits here and flashes over and over about 10 seconds on and 2 seconds off and never gets past the AT&T screen. If I hold the vol up down and power it goes to the battery charging screen and does the same thing.
Any ideas?
Phone still wont do anything and will not go into download mode.
Have you ever used that JF6 package before? What build is your phone? To get in to download mode you can take out batter, open odin (run as admin) connect phone to computer (rear pc usb port) press key combo and insert battery. If that doesn't work make a jig.
bad part is i just got this phone from AT&T. I had some other issues with my old one that had 'dipity 6.x on it.
So thats what im dealing with. STRAIGHT out of the box and tried to get the newer version of dipity on it and trashed.
No matter what I do it wont go to download mode... Im on a laptop and ive tried every port available with no results.
Using your method of putting the cable in without the batt and holding the buttons im getting same result.
Ive used this ODI before on my old phone, so i know its worked before.
If that phone came with froyo then it will bootloop with JF6 odin. Get in download mode and ODIN a KB1 package somewhere in the dev section.
If thats all that is wrong with it im going to flip. I appreciate your help.
Well let us know if it is =P
This morning during a call my phone shuts off for no reason. It is not rooted no physical or water damage. I tried to power it on it will vibrate than attempt to start get stuck at boot screen than eventually turn black. I tried booting into recovery to hard reset I will get to the menu do all the prompts and get the lg logo and back to black screen. I don't know what is going on. Is this a common issue? Admins if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it.

Not sure what caused the issue but if wiping from recovery doesn't work I would look into restoring phone with kdz file. Sucks to do that seeing as all data will be gone but hopefully you have a backup. If restore doesn't work you need to call T-Mobile for replacement
Sent from my Porn Infested G4
The replacement has been processed. Unfortunately trying to factory ? reset doesn't work because the phone ? wouldn't stay on long enough for that to happen. Love to know what actually caused this issue. Kinda kicking myself for not doing a weekly backup.
I actually got the same problem on mine but mine is rooted and was working fine but then randomly my phone is doing bootloop. I don't have terp installed and I'm I only able to boot up to software upgrade mode. Ive tried the step for format everything with holding the volume up n on button but after I did the reset stuff still does boot loops. Also another problem is that whenever I plug in phone to computer it doesn't show up, so I have no option to add roms or anything like tht to internal or sd card. Is there anyways too flash anything of the software mode, if so can you plz let me know thank you.
