Hi Guys,
I made a really terrible mistake. I did not set my international version Galaxy S to USB debugging mode before attempting to flash Voodoo lag fix with Odin. Now all I see when I turn on my phone is the phone-!-pc message. I can still get to download mode but no luck getting into recovery mode. Odin seems to be able to detect my phone when I set it to download mode and connect it to my PC. Is there anything I can do to save my phone?
Any help would be appreciate.
Ok. I managed to save my phone. Turns out I could still re-flash an official firmware. /Close Thread

hi all
Need your help with this. This bell Galaxy S phone was with our IT guys and I am not sure what they did to it. But when I turn on the phone the logo boots up and the animation comes on. Then it goes to a black screen. I tried to booth in recovery mode and the screen just keeps constantly showing the "Galaxy S GT-i9000" screen. i tried "adb recovery" and that didnt work either.
I tried odin and it doesnt recognize the phone.
is there any way I can get Kies to just format and reinstall the original rom?
i really dont care about installing a new rom, any rom will do.
Thanks for your help!
get a JIG cable, this will put your phone into download mode, after that you can flash a new rom using odin. you can find it anywhere, or you can make it yourself
good luck
Tried home+voldown+power? that gets you into download mode, which odin should recognize.
I tried flashing back to stock but the usb fell out then got soft bricked and now i got it back to download mode but odin wont pick up my phone i think i may have forgot to enable usb debugging before hand any suggestions on how to fix this? thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
USB debugging has NO bearing once you are not in the OS......being in recovery mode or download mode is being OUTSIDE the OS.
alright then how do i get odin to pick up my phone
i know odin is notrious for driver issues but it is strange it wet from working to not working like that. try different driversalso windows 7 seems to be better at handeling odin for some reason dont know what version you are on. the debugging mode shouldn't have any effect on download mode. can you get into recovery mode and flash a rom at all?
no if i try to get into recovery using three button my phone will just got right back to the brick screen
I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 7-inch with WiFi and 3G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I mistaking tried to flash the new Android 2.3.3 before realizing it was only for GSM phones. I followed all the instructions using Odin3 (1.7) and everything looked like it worked except it never rebooted and I never got it into the Recovery Mode. I was still able to get in Download Mode so I tried to find a compatible 2.2 ROM to flash. I flashed the Roto JME rom, it didn't reboot. I flashed P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME and it didn't work. Odin3 seemed to install these, I always got PASS. Now my Tab is totally unresponsive. Odin3 acts like it's installing but I can't get the Download Mode screen anymore. How do I get it back to factory or some working system? I don't expect to save anything I've loaded, I just want it to work again. HELP. Thanks.
P.S. If I can't fix this, who do I take it to to re-install the system? I got it from Verizon.
Can you get it into recovery mode? (Turn off, then Power + Volume UP)
No success
No, nothing I do will show anything on the display. I can't get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode. However, when I'm hooked to the computer and press the correct buttons to turn on/off or Download Mode, I hear the computer beep indicating it sees the USB and the yellow COM widget in Odin3 lights up and says it's up and in Download Mode. I can then flash it and it says PASS. I also just tried Heimdall and it also seemed to successfully flash the original Verizon SCH-I800_VZM firmware. Nothing displays when I try to go into Recovery Mode. I don't even see the picture of the battery when I plug it into the wall. Have I somehow trashed by screen?
Hi ! I got the same problem and now my Tab totally bricked...
Samsung just needs to give us the files and software to load these tabs back to stock! That would end the return issue for the carriers and let us unbrick them. Like any other device, there is a way to fix it without having to send it back.

Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?
Hey guys n gals really hoping for some help.
I was in the process of rooting one of my phones(Samsung Galaxy S vibrant) Done it many times on this phone plus my note and my tab2. I soft bricked the phone was able to get it into download mode instal an original 2.3 firmware to the phone via Odin. Now it wont go passed the Galaxy S Screen I cant get into download mode and it wont read the SD card(which has an ICS firmware on it for install) Any ideas on how I can get this back to even manufacturer steps?
When you enable download mode, android with a shovel doesn't appear, does it? That's doesn't metter. Just run Odin and connect smartphone to the computer. If ID:COM has appeared, download mode is active.
