Stuck in the infamous connect phone to PC screen - Please help

HI,
I'm a complete newbie with the Android (power user in WM).
Using SGS i9000 with origin German ROM I9000XXJF3.
I was trying my first ROM reflash, but something seems to be very wrong.
This is what I did:
1. I rooted the device successfully using that guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
2. Downloaded and install from the market busybox
3. Then I followed the guide here: http://samsung-firmware.webs.com/Flash guide english.pdf .
Important, I was trying to install the ROM: I9000JPJG8 BUT with PIT 513
4. ODIN announced (on blue background ): reset, and the device returned into recovery mode (same I used for rooting the device).
5. I was trying to repeat the process, this time with PIT 512 with the same ROM.
6. It seems to successful. I saw the glowing Galaxy S, for sometime, then the device turned itself off.
Now all I get is the connect to PC (phone, orange exclamation mark & PC logos) logo.
I was trying to pull the battery out, restarted the PC, and was trying to reconnect to ODIN, but ODIN does not recognize the device.
I was trying to select in ODIN only "auto reboot", press start, but again nothing happened.
Very frustrating for a start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Amir.

Shalom amir,
go back to download mode and reflash with odin (512 pit). Should do the trick.

I've experienced the same thing before. I thought I bricked the phone but that wasn't the case.
Try to reflash your SGS on another computer. This PC that you used won't be able to find your SGS anymore until you successfully flashed it.

Hi Mike,
After numerous times, I've managed to return to downloading mode
I've achieved that by inserting the battery, while pressing vol down+power+home.
Now was able to reflash, and everything is good.

I did that too, but the problem was how to return to downloading mode..
Almost had a heart attack...
Thanks anyway guys!

I have been stuck on that screen more than I like but have found this to work the best.
1 - power down the device and remove battery / usb connection
2 - connect usb
3 - hold the volume up key while moving to step 4
4 - insert battery
I end up in the download screen everytime and then must start the Ordin3 flash quickly otherwise it just hangs on the download. I appears if I start the download within 15 seconds, works like a charm.

You are SUCH A LIFE SAVER!!! I tried every other thing on xda and youtube but the above steps are the only one that worked on my vibrant. The trick is to start ODIN ASAP after step 4 and start the flash (after selecting PIT and PDA file) or it won't work if you take your time

This happemed to me too nuty phone was going ibto download mode so I just reflashed it with 2.3.4

Rom: jetpack

[Q] I9000 won't boot after factory reset

I had a problem with the radio and went to my dealer and he did a factory reset. When the phone boots it now hangs on the Samsung logo. I was running Darky's v5.2 gingerbread edition voodoo. The phone was rooted and the 3 button function was working ok.
Now I can only use the power+down volume+home combo and it goes into download mode and says Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!
In this mode neither ADB or Odin will connect. If I do a normal boot Odin will connect but i can't do anything. When I try the power+vol down+home boot it just goes into a reboot loop.
i've read all the tricks to get into recovery mode but none are working for me. I need to get it back to factory original so I can send it for warranty repair. The phone is only 2 months old.
Any ideas welcomed.

i'm having the same problem, i was running darky's v8 then i did a factory reset and now it won't bootup, i can get into download mode but not into recovery mode

1. Threads,for this already exists.
2. Download odin and stock firmware from samfirmwares.com
3. Download 512 pit file.
4 flash csc,modem,pda and pit in odin

I've read all the same issue posts but none solve my problem. I can't get Odin to connect to the SG. If I put the SG in download mode with the 3 button combo, Odin won't connect. ADB also can't connect to the SG as the SG won't boot. I've tried everything suggested but it simply won't connect. I guess the SG is now a bin job. The only way to get a connection in Odin is to let the SG boot and hang then connect. Odin can see the SG but you can't do anything unless the SG is in download mode. ADB can't reboot the SG either. Something must be wrong with SBL but I can't find a way to fix it. My fingers are sore from so many 3 key combos over the last few days.

Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?

All the thread answers require the use of ADB and or Odin. This is the problem, I can't get the SG to connect to Odin when the SG is in download mode. Something is wrong with the SBL so the download mode isn't working. If I could get the download mode fixed the rest is easy. The only time Odin can see the SG is when I let the SG boot normally and it hangs. Then I connect the USB and Odin sees the SG. As it is not in download mode, Odin can't send anything. ADB gives an error that it can't connect to the device so I can't use ADB to put the SG in dl mode. To summarize, I can only get the SG to either hang on boot or go into a faulty dl mode with the 3 key combo.

Sounds more like a USB problem. Change USB port and or remove and reinstall Kies/USB drivers .

so you could never get into recovery mode or only after he did a reset?
if it's not a usb problem as suggested above then i agree with "Full brick and leave it in for repair and blame on kies?", if they can't get it in dl mode or recovery either they won't know what you've done to it, or they might, so leave that as a last option

Flashing Video Guide for Stock XXJVU

now another problem comes in phone is not going into download mode?
could that b cause of battery gone down to less then 20%?

Your battery should be at least 50% before flashing.

i m not sure at the moment it was 90% before. my phone was going into download mode but i did 1click downloader and instaler at&t firmware and now its not going into download mode ??

You could try this nbkhan : Download Android sdk (google it as i cant post external links in forum yet)
Extract this at the loacation c:\AndroidSDK
Connect phone to PC and Install Drivers
now go to Start > RUN > type cmd
go to this directrory " c:\AndroidSDK\tools "
now type " adb reboot download "
Your phone will reboot and will go into bootmode.
You could also consider building or purchasing a usb jig(google it)

pc does not recognize my phone.

Were you were flashing an ics rom? if so you need nexus drivers installed on your comp which can be found here : w w w.multiupload.co.uk/BUCFT8M42N

You could try the one click unbrick from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 , if that does not work you will have to buy/make a usb jig to force download mode.

Jigs are well worth the money, just a couple of £/$ and save your phone.

help bricked phone

Hi everyone. Im not normally in this section as i have an x8 but my friend has seen all the roms,mods and updates ive done so he tried to do it to his galaxy s i9000 without rooting or unlocking his bootloader. I asked him what he did he said he just tried to update software with keis but now it wont turn on just white screen with a red triangle in the middle i hope its download mode as i dont have a galaxy i dont really no but the battery has died and it wont charge im guessing hes damaged the bootloader am i right and if so whats the best corse of action to tepair it. Thanks.

You can check if it is in download mode by pluggin it in pc with odin. See the wiki page what it says about soft brick.
Soft-Bricked
After flashing a rom you might not be able to enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. In this case a so called 'JIG' would be helpfull.
You could build it on your own: [HOWTO] [REF] Get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG
... or buy a preassembled one on a well known marketplace.Hint: There is no difference between a JIG for Samsung S/S2 or S-Plus.

See if you can go into d0wnload mode with vol down home and power. If that works go and try to find the stock firmware for the phone and download and extract. Download odin and put csc pda and phone/modem in there rightful places. 512 pit in pit section. Pit usually comes with odin download. If not find it somewhere. Repartition checked and hit start. It should reboot when done. It will problaby take a couple of min to boot but be patient. If it starts to go into boot loop put back into download mode again and reflash. Its very hard to mess up the phone to where you cant fix it. So relax and watch tuts or whatever helps you best. I know of a link i that i will find and post for you when i do.

DEAD bricked phone
So, my friend's phone (hopefully she'll stay my friend after this) was turning itself on and off all on it's own. So I (no good deed goes unpunished) suggested that I will upgrade her firmware for her. She had 2.3.3 firmware. I downloaded the odin1.7 as well as a package of all the info for 2.3.5 firmware upgrade. I flashed the phone- originally only using the PDA option with a file called: CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship
It worked, the phone restarted and showed the firmware as being 2.3.5.
I don't know why, but I thought it would be a good idea to update the CSC and the pit and the modem as well- so I did that. when this was finished - though odin said that the flashing was successful the phone is completely unresponsive. The computer doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show any signs of life at all- like it's in the dark ages and there is no electricity in it.
HELP!!!
First question: do you think a jig will work? how dangerous is it?
second question: is there any other option to try that I haven't come across other than changing the motherboard, and if there isn't do you know where I can get one, bear in mind I live in Israel.
Please e-mail me a copy of the response to [email protected] if you can...

Odin dosnt pick it up atall plus the batteries dead aswell now and the stupid thing wont charge so i cant evan try any thing till i find away or some one to charge it but thanks for the tips.

Try to recharge the battery from other phone or use another battery.
Check whether you have the download mode working. (Home+Power+Volume down)
If yes, put phone in download mode and flash Darky RE or any other Rom via ODIN. Try to get the recovery mod after rooting and then try ROMs.
Or try restarting the phone it may work without update also. Long press power in download mode restarts the phone. However be careful.

What is the status of the device can you go to download mode
Post your firmware files name and how you choose in the odin flasher.
Dont try anything crazy you will bricked your device more:banghead:

Alternate way to Download mode
Hi gavster26
I have been there with a buddy's phone... not a nice place.
Found a link showing this other trick ... but you have to trial and error this one on the different combos:
1. Phone off
2. USB cable pluged in
3. Odin running
4. Down (or Up - test both) Volume button + Home button + plug in the USB cable.
This booted my dead "bricked" phone into download mode.
Try it.

[Q] Issues with Download Mode

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.
