Edit:
Had the exact same thing happen to me, but its just a bad flash.
Download the JM6 zip (in the development forum) and flash it via Odin. after the device has rebooted, if the previous apps havent been deleted, go into recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot again

Read my above post. Go into download mode (volume down + home + power) you'll still have the same image but the phone WILL be in download mode. Then flash your previous firmware and you're sorted.

You probably got that by messing with the kernel. Fund the zImage from the firmware, extract it with a .tar extractor then use something like heimdall to flash the kernel and it should work.

Hi. I'm looking for solution for my problem but nothing has helped me. I cannot restart mu GTab or put it in download mode. I always land into Android system recovery <3e>.
My problem: I cannot restart my GTab anymore. It started when I wanted to do a backup with ROM Manager. Unfortunately EURO TAB isn't supported yet. Then I want to find out whether nandroid backup is possible. From ROM manager I booted into recovery. But there isn't nandroid backup. And now I cannot boot GTab anymore. Every time I restart it brings me back to Android system recovery <3e>. I would be grateful for every solution.

Help please

Having the same problem too... anyone can help?

If you see Phone-!-Pc on the Tab screen it is the download mode.
You can reflash it using Odin, however, you will need to do full Rom flash. I had similar problem and solved it by replashing.
I followed the latest guide published in this forum and Roto-JME rom with reformatting of internal sd.

Phone ! PC error FML!!!

Where can i download the JM6 zip??

Hey guys,
I tried to manually update my tab to Gingerbread today via Odin, but it kept hanging on select partition (I discovered I used the wrong PIT for the firmware I was going to flash, but as I didn't select the firmware yet that shouldn't be a problem). At last I decided to quit Odin (which might have been stupid...) and try it again. Then it kept haning even earlier, so I tried to restart the device in download mode. However, whatever I try it keeps giving the Phone ! PC sign. If I try to just boot, if I try to go into recovery mode or if I try to go into download mode. I saw a lot of possible ways to solve the problem, but my PC doesn't recognize the tab anymore. If I connect it, it does give the "usb device connected" sound, but there is a popup which sais "USB Device not recognized. One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message". I already tried to reinstall the driver but it doesn't work. Also Odin and Heimdall don't detect any device.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? Maybe taking the battery out? (for which I have to buy a new triangle screwdriver, so I need to know if it could possibly work first. It takes some weeks to order such a thing I think...)
EDIT: I played around a bit with the drivers again, and suddenly both Heimdall and Odin recognized it. However Odin stopped recognizing it again. Then I pressed "read PIT" in Heimdall, which worked. After that the device started booting up to the Samsung logo animation and then powered off again. Now it doesn't do anything anymore, not even showing the Phone ! PC screen. I'll charge it overnight (maybe it's gone empty during the process), so I hope that helps.....

In some strange way, the phone works again..... So never mind my post above.

[Q] so close, yet so far..

ok I have a problem:
I got started on my Mums phone..
opened up odin
grabbed the wrong file - I was supposed to select 'Aries_P-SBL..yaddayadda' (I wanted to get 3 button recovery working.. I accidently selected the speedmod kernel file..
it then rebooted & never got past the first screen with the samsung name & phone model on it.
started to panic.. tried repeatedly to get into recovery.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. failed.. tried *heaps of times to get into recovery again.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. success!!! I can now get into recovery!
BUT
it still doesnt go any further than the very first screen with the samsung name & phone model.. basically, I'm quite certain that all I have to do is some how get darkys v7.0 on there & I'm set.. how do I do that seeing as I cant get the phone to boot into its OS, thus I cannot transfer the file across like I did with mine when it was connected to the pc?
cannot get phone to act as dumb storage device
CWM working, check - when I boot into recovery I can see CWM related things (& fiddle with settings RE: to it) - I can also see the speedmod things & fiddle with settings...
I grabbed an mSD card, chucked Darkys v7 on it, put it in phone... cant seem to direct it to it.. it cant 'see' the ex.sd card while in recovery.. I made an attempt to mount the ex.sd (or so I thought) but no go
the adb program sees it, so does odin..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712433
ok so followed the instructions.. a command window popped up, stayed a while, then, just before it dissappeared, text came up - dunno what it said.. the file isnt on there tho. I attempted this with the phone in recovery mode
yeah, I can get it into d/l mode..
rather not put anything stock on there atm.. I've got a bad feeling about doing that
I can have the phone in 3 diff states:
recovery mode
download mode
sitting on the very 1st screen with the samsung name & phone model displaying..
on my first attempt @ pushing the file onto the phone, I put it into recovery (is there a nice, non-confusing way to abbreviate 'recovery'?) mode - & it didnt work.. I just tried d/l mode.. the command window popped up, but only came up for a split second - too fast for it to transfer the ~190MB file.. I'll check, but I doubt it...
edit: na, didnt take
sorry for the 'copy & paste' job from another forum.. any ideas on what to do?

no one?

Umm, your post is a little unclear, but I'll try and help.
As long as you have download mode, you should be fine to flash any stock rom with odin. Why are you scared to flash a stock rom? It's very strange
You probably should select repartition in odin and flash a middle package firmware (ie. as richothen often provides, or any eclair firmware afaik).
Then if you want a custom rom, flash CWM or any kernel with CWM recovery, and flash the rom.
Pretty simple...

essentially, all I want to do is transfer darkys vs7 onto the phone, but I cant do it the usual way (which is thru windows & when the phone itself is in its os)
the phone wont boot into its os - its stuck @ the very first screen - I can only get into recovery mode & download mode
so how do I tranfer a file?

you could flash a stock rom and then start from the begin and do everything again?

I dont think I can flash any rom - I would need to transfer the rom file onto the internal sd, which I cant do
I need to know how to transfer a rom file (preferably darkys vs7) onto the internal sd, using either recovery mode or download mode, as the phone will not boot into os (it hangs @ very first screen)

alternatively, how do I get rid of either CMW or speedmod? or both?
better yet, how do I get the phone to boot into os?

surely someone has an answer?

in fact.. I've made it worse.. I can no longer go into recovery mode.. & the phone no longer displays the first normal screen - it displays the phone-!-pc thingy

ok I reflashed the 3 button fix on & the speedmod.. now I'm back to where I was before
can someone please please help me with this?
its been like this for almost 3 days

Get to download mode, flash a stock rom through odin, (whatever you had before the whole mess), then start over. Make sure you have all the correct settings when flashing with odin, using the right pit file etc etc.

yep just did that:
mild progress..
did the flashing..
no longer hangs @ the first screen.. instead, it gets past it, plays the samsung 'S' tune & clip.. then shows the S for a while longer.. then goes to a blank screen, which is where it stays, occassionally vibrating as well... thats it, thats all it does

Thats the symptoms of a bad/incorrect flash .
Flash again with all the correct settings and files .

I did an Odin wipe and now the touch isnt working on my phone!! What do I DO!? Its stock so it goes straight to MTP transfer instead of debugging and I cant change it. PLEASE HELP.

What do you mean the touch? Give more details

Alright, well I was having problems with dig11fs rom so I decided I wanted to install serendepity 5.0. I plug in my phone, run odin and go into download mode. Once in download mode I press start and it goes through and does the factory reset of my phone. My phone turns on and the "swipe screen to unlock" screen comes up. I try to swipe it and nothing. I try going back to download mode and maybe running odin again. Not working. I try different things but overall my touch screen isnt working at all. I went to recovery and deleted user and cache thinking maybe something will work. Phone boots back up and still nothing. I can't do anything cuz I cant get to usb debugging without being able to use the touchscreen.

I just did a master clear with odin and still my touch screen isnt responding! The buttons are working fine but the touch screen is not.

This is a new one.
Pull battery or for a couple minutes. Then try again
what is the build of your phone, located under battery, something like 1008
I think you are in store for a jig

It says 10.08 on the white sticker under my battery.

Have you used odin before, what its the name of the odin file you used?

I have used odin a few times before. Not a problem. I tried the battery pull, nothing.
I used the newest odin "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip" I just downloaded it about an hour ago.

Good news is that you are on stock, so if need be call at&t and file warranty claim. You said matter clear went through correct/
Have you had problems with three button combo in the past?
Do you know what a jig is?

I can get to download mode no problem with the 3 button method. Thats not the problem and I have ideas of what a jig is but if it can help me right at this moment i would appreciate the information.

You can still.get into dl mode?
Have you tried odin flash more then once

A jig wont help, if you can get to download mode you don't need a jig. this sounds like a bad flash, try flashing stock again.

Yes I can get into dl mode and I tried twice so far.

I actually have a charger in my house that will disable the touch screen. I once made the mistake of trying to flash using CWM while my phone was plugged up to that charger and when everything booted back up my touch screen was disabled completely. I was able to Odin back to stock and reflash everything.

Go find the post for the Stock rom with the 3 button fix and the ODIN that is not one click and use that. the one click downloader does strange things sometimes. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THAT POST COMPLETELY BEFORE FLASHING.
This one.
1. Download ODIN and the PIT file and extract it somewhere.
2. Download the PDA file and put it in the directory where you extracted ODIN and PIT to.
3. open ODIN and click the PIT button and choose the PIT file that came with it.
4. click on the PDA Button and choose the PDA.tar that you downloaded from the post.
5. power off your phone completely.
6.Hold down vol up and vol down and plug in the cable.
7. Click start.

So i tried using a different charger, nothing. I'm trying to run the not one click odin.

[Q] Removed cable before Odin was finished, stuck at logo (Download/Recovery ok)

I falshed 3 SGS's using Odin method and everything worked fine. So, now I was on my fourth one, after a while, and Odin was working for a couple of minutes and it was at "Removed" message. Now, thinking it meant it was done, I pulled the cable out and now the phone is stuck at SGS logo. I retried Odin method, this time waiting till the "All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)" message appeared, but the same thing happened.
What to do next? Should I try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9946532&postcount=5
or is it doomed? Must be something I can do if I see the logo. I also hear the starting sound, but it stops in the middle. I can still go into download or recovery mode without any problem. Should I try and flash with Darky's ROM?

You have to wait until the phone has rebooted and the you can take the usb cable out.

The first time it did reboot and got stuck at logo, but Odin didn't finish ("All threads completed" message didn't show up). The second time I flashed I waited till it rebooted and showed that message, but I'm still stuck.
EDIT: I did the method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9946532&postcount=5
but using only PDA and CSC files, without modem files, and now my pc detected a new android device, but it's still on logo. Odin only shows PDA, PHONE and CSC buttons, no modem button, that's why i didn't use modem file. Should I click phone button and then select modem file?

Should I try and flash with Darky's ROM?
NO
flash stock rom via ODIN ..
Eclair first WJM8
then if ok upgrade to stock froyo .

Same thing happened to me last week (Odin had definitely finished), was stuck on the logo screen for 45+ minutes.
I took out and reinserted the battery, booted into download mode, reconnected to pc, reflashed with my country's stock firmware, checked all was OK before reflashing Darky's ROM.
Worked for me, YMMV!

Damn it, did just that, only with stock 2.2 ROM. I'm waiting for Odin to finish, don't know what's gonna happen. It's stuck on modem.bin for good 30 minutes now. Is it supposed to last that long? Should I wait or disconnect it and try stock 2.1 ROM?
EDIT: I've disconnected it now, download mode is working. I'm waiting for stock 2.1 rom to download.
Just to be clear - if download mode is working, the phone is pretty much ok and I just need to flash the right firmware, right?

[Q] No boot, no samsung logo, no download mode

Ok i put my device into download mode with picture then flashed my i9000 with http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1160580
i now know this was the wrong FW for my device since then i cannot boot my phone normally nor get into download mode with the picture
it works fine just if i pull battery or turn off the phone
all i get is a black screen with "home & back buttons lit up"
however when i attach my device to odine it recognizes the phone first time
i dont have to do anything, i've tried flashing stock FW
same result black screen buttons lit up no DL mode with pic no boot
i've tried flashing FW with sbl success odine tells me,
no luck again, also when i try to flash 3 files
it always hangs then fails on modem, however if i flash allinone it works
but only boots with odine & not on its own & without samsung boot image
i can flash modem on its own via psa tab with success, i've also tried the jig to get into normal DL mode, but to no avail
also when i plug usb cable in & take out battery phone turns off
its like the usb is not a power source, ive tried on my laptop, ac adapter & pc all same result
to summerise:
i can flash my phone however if i turn off device i it will not boot
on its own & have to reflash via odine but with no boot logo only sounds
im thinking the only solution is samsung service centre but i can hazard a guess the price of a new mobo will prob be the same as the phone its self secondhand on ebay
any ideas? thanks
P.S when i flash 2 or more files i use pit 512, what if i didnt use a pit or used a different one would it make a difference?
P.P.S kies does recognize device once its flashed but cant find any updates on FW
would doing an emergency restore with an .sbu file fix this boot issue?
& where could i get an .sbu file from as i didnt do a backup

Did you also check “repartition“ in odin when you flash with the pit file?

It sounds like you've toasted the bootloader flashing a wrong firmware. But since you can get Odin connected and flash you might be able to recover.
You'll need to flash a stock firmware with bootloaders, Darky RE should have bootloaders. Follow the instructions on the page.
Good luck

In fact if you can't go into DL mode you can use a thing called JIG repair.
you'll need a 300K resistor (which exactly 301K) and a micro-USB plug.

What ansonscleung linked to is a Jig, Jtag is something completely different all together. If Odin won't recover your phone, I can't guarantee the jig will work. Although it will help getting to download mode and maybe help flashing the proper firmware.

If you can boot into recovery "home + vol up + power", wipe data, and cache and reboot. Might fix it

You're correct, guy. A JIG cost about HK$15.5 ($15 for a Micro USB port and $0.5 resistor) (approx. US$1.99 €1.5 not incl. transportation fee) or spend US$8 here.
Hope you can pass through those stuff and enjoy back your phone!

Do you get the Galaxy S logo when the phone is turned on? If you do then your bootloaders are now OK and you can boot into recovery and flash a CWM ROM.
