Fix for Galaxy S i9000 frozen screen

My galaxy was flashed with the latest beta of Android 2.2 then I applied the root, since then my download mode stopped working and my galaxy get frozen after I turn it ON at the Galaxy S black and white screen... The only two mode that I was able to bring up is FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING and UNKNOWN MODE...
This is what I did to get the download mode and I double checked it twice that his method works before I posted here:
btw: my OS is Windows 7 and I installed the Windows 7 drivers the filename is "Windows 7&Vista x64 USB Driver.zip"
file required are the firmware that I don't have I used again Android 2.2 I don't know what firmware to put I would like to know what firmware was on the original Bell i9000M if someone can tell me it's appreciated.
The other required file is Odin3 v1.30
I did the following first I right clicked the Odin3 and UNBLOCK it and change the compatible mod to XP
Here are the STEPS:
1- disconnect the cable from the phone.
2- launch Odin3 v1.30
3- Put your phone into FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING
4- Connect the USB cable to your phone (Odin3 should display "Added!!"
5- Select your file PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC then click on START
6- Your Odin will stop on "SetupConnection.." (if you use the older version of Odin it will stop at "File analysis.." and I don`t know if it works with the older version.
7. Now when you see the "SetupConnection.." Press Volume down + Home + Power and KEEP HOLDING IT UNTIL YOU SEE the DOWNLOAD MODE
This is the LOG of my Odin

If you have noticed after you see "SetupConnection.." your phone will be disconnected from Odin3 then it will reconnect then BINGO you will get the download mode.
I hope this will help all ppl who are stuck at the boot screen without having access to the download mode.
Now I need a favor I dont know when to get the original firmware of bell I wanna bring back my phone to the original state.
Thanks

Update: I've installed Kies the latest version I thought I can get the original firmware using Kies so I decided to bring the download mode using the above procedure then I was surprised the I could not get to the download mode again!!! Hmmm.... I uninstalled Kies then I tried again with no luck... I re-installed the driver "Windows 7&Vista x64 USB Driver.zip" then I repeated the above steps then the download mode is back.... Weird isn't??? It looks like the Kies override the driver with another driver... So in order to get my procedure working make sure you UNINSTALL completely KIES from your system and install the drivers that I mentioned... Also notice that adb.exe detects my device and it wasn't before... Now I have the Downloading mode but I don't know what to load Hope that anyone can point me where I can download the original firmware that comes with Bell i9000M model...

So you just randomly flashed a file to your phone, not even knowing what it is or does?
Just for the fun of it?
And you're wondering why your phone is now fked?
Do a full reflash with PIT, CSC, MODEM and PDA.
FFS...

how do we do this since the phone does not even starts...
not even with the key combination...

SOLVED
You need to hold the power, vol down and home key down and then put the battery in.

"5- Select your file PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC then click on START"
Where can i get these files? I got my phone into this state through some ****ty app, i dont need to be told how dumb i am, if you can help this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

i had this happen one day on my work computer when every USB device shut down for a split second during the flash....

I just had the same thing happen. I was using odin 1.3 by following this sites directions, which were the most descriptive that I could have found. I was using odin 1.3.
For the record I am using a vibrant. I was certainly nervous of unplugging my phone in the middle of a flash, which turned to a green screen, but it worked. I reran the flash process and it worked fine the second time.
Thanks for the previous post for giving me the confidence to do it.

that happened to me as well I kept trying and trying I was fetting green screens blue pink purple orange etc I then tried plugging my cable in a different usb port on my cpu and it worked first try and has never failed me since. Not sure why it worked but give that a try

Sorry to bump an old thread but having this issue as well.
Trying to flash back form MIUI 1.6.10.
It either does the color thing or gets stuck at factory.rfs.
EDIT: Solved by using a diff USB cable! Le fffuuuuu....

i got a purple screen during an odin flash for about 15 minutes, so i unplugged, now nothing happens. no download mode, homemade jig doesn't work, vol+ vol- doesn't work, does this mean its hard bricked?

[Q] i9000 Completly dead?

So I tried updating to the newest Cyanogenmod Beta1 when it failed to boot repeatedly I went to reflash via Odin using stock JM9 with repartition 803.pit. This is what I got on Odin:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
I had selected the modem and rom file that came with the samfirmware.com package.
Now phone will not even turn on, react to button presses, or show that it is charging while plugged in.. Tried taking out battery and putting it back in a few times with no luck.
This is an international version of the phone. Am I screwed? Could the battery have died while flashing or could the bootloader have been messed with?
I am panicing

Did you find a solution?
I have run into the identical issue and was wondering what your solution was?
I flashed the Vibrant firmware by accident onto my GT-i9000m and now the phone is dead, no boot screen, no logo, no reaction to any button combo.
I previously used the usb jig to get into the download mode, and when I reflashed a known to be good rom back on the phone I checked off "update bootloader" assuming the bootloader was at fault. Big mistake.
I've ordered a replacement phone from Bell, but if you have any info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Hmm that is normal as then it reboots into recovery and then loads the update zip. Might need to look into making a jig for it

[Q] Odin not working - Is phone completely dead?
