Ok guys, i tried using the 3 button fix odin and the computer got stuck on downloading the pit file to the phone in download mode. i walked out of the room for a few minutes and came back in and my computer had shut down and it was in the middle of downloading.CRAP!!!!!I tried turning on the computer back on and getting back to odin but odin wont recognize the phone now. it won't even turn on.HELP PLEASE!
If you pull the battery and try to restart, does anything happen?
What rom were you on? Have you tried to any other methods to get download mode (adb or jig)?
tried every method to get into download mode. i was running serendipity 6.4 trying to upgrade to serendipity VII. tried to go into download mode directly from 6.4 to download the gb bootloaders and it semi bricked my phone the other day but finally got it into download mode and was able to get back to stock eclair. then i went and flashed 6.4 again. i liked 6.4 alot but i really wanted to see what serendipity VII was like because of GB. i pulled the battery, tried all the button combos, everything with no help. if i take this back to att will they just swap it out because it's still under warranty or should i just consider myself screwed?
You're definitely not out of luck - at this point, you could either look into jtag recovery or try att. Either option has downsides (financially or morally), but you do have options.
well i guess when i get in from offshore from work i'll take my phone to att and ask them to see if they can get my phone to turn on and if not they can replace it. we'll see

I was using Phoenix_Rising_3.5_SM and wanted to flash back to stock to try another ROM. My issue I had is the Side button would not work to get in Download mode. I tried the ADB method (after trying all other method's) which got me into it but ODIN would not flash the phone then so was forced to reboot it, afterwards the phone got stuck on a black screen of a "phone.."orange-triangle "!"..computer" screen and I cant get past it at all.
If there's no easy fix to get it fix it then I can swap the phone under 30-day and hopefully have no issues from them about it. I was going to say I was running the OTA and the phone locked up and went to that screen after, but currently the phone has Phoenix installed and update.zip also the phoenix rom install file.
...I have been running Cognition, Perception and others fine and the downloader method worked fine with vol - and cable, but ever since Phoenix 3.5 rom the normal downloader method never worked and just gets to the battery charging screen...
jig search for it. Cheap and easy
Your gonna need a jig.
There's a few post regarding this.

Get jiggy! Worked for me.

Thanks for the help guys, the Jig using tape did it, phone is flashing with ODIN now. It saved me a 45 min drive to closest AT&T store.
So here't the full background, it's not long, please read:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-bricked-my-sgs-wonder-what-i-did-wrong.2032/
Long story short, it looks like I bricked my SGS when trying to flash with Odin, even though I followed the tutorial very closely. When I power up the phone, it just gives me the image with phone, exclamation mark and PC on it. It does, however, go into download mode when powered up with VolDown and center button.
How do I save it? Do I need the JIG (God, please say no! )
Have you tried reflashing with odin.
Jig is only needed when you cant get into download mode.
Also i just looked inside the darky rom topic.
Have you flashed the jvk rom first with the bootloaders?
Edit: as said below. If you gonna reflash, flash a stock rom. Not the darky rom. First priority is to make your phone work.

Yeah, you have download mode.
Now, fire up Odin and load a few rom files into it, connect the phone and see if the PC still recognises it. (Do not flash, Just a test)
If so...
Flash a stock rom.
Somehow, I was able to flash it with Odin in Download Mode this time. Phew! I read somewhere that the flash might fail if You're using wrong USB port. At first I connected my phone to a eSATA/USB combo port, and for the second time (after brick) I tried a normal USB 2.0 port in my laptop. Maybe that's what made the difference, I have no idea.
Anyway, I'm running stock Samsung 2.3 rom and am trying to install Darky's 10.0 RC3 on it - I am running into some problems, but thankfully they're much less serious than the brick that I was able to fix.
Thanks for Your help!
I ran into similar problems last week. A rom wouldn't flash, so I gave it an hour and it proceeded nowhere. Had to pull the plug on it.
Sometimes it just takes a few times plugging and unplugging repeatedly until it just happens to get detected by Windows. Maybe just a bit of luck too
Congrats on your recovery.
Just wondering which stock 2.3 rom did you use and which Odin setting you used to get your phone up and working again.
Here is my post / problem, seems similar to yours
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020223
Thanks
I had the same issue like warnec on my first darkyy flash, finally everything went fine...don't worry!
just try to reflash with odin (maybe going for a stock version first is a good idea), be sure to do everything as mentioned in the guides out there. and be sure your computer works stable, maybe you want to quit some tasks in the background (however it should work even without but something crashed my odin once...)
Reflash with Odin to make your phone work again. I suggest using a stock 2.2.1/2.3.3 ROM. It is important that it consists of the 512.pit file, a PDA file, a Phone file and a CSC file. The ROM must have bootloaders included!
Now, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
Start Odin and load all the files. Tick 'Repartition'.
Start your phone in Download Mode by pressing Vol-Down, Home and Power.
Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say 'Added!'.
Now hit Start, wait 2-3 minutes until it is done and your phone should succesfully reboot!

Thanks I tried this and my phone just keeps flashing i9000m screen, then blank and then back to the i9000m screen. Looks like the phone is unusable.

does not sound very good...could you solve your problem yet?
Had to take the phone into Bell. Waiting on return of it and currently using a loaner HTC Desire Z from Bell.
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.

hey, i am posting this for a friend who bricked his phone and doesn't know much about it..
he was running serendipity 7 which is a jvo rom, and tried flashing the pauldiddy remix theme, which says is only meant for jvp and jvq roms. i used a jig, to get the phone into download mode, and the computer detected it when i plugged in the usb. but when i tried to use odin one click to go back to stock, it would get stuck at the "Do not turn off target". im not sure if anyone knows a fix for this, or if i should try using the method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 instead, but i figured i would ask before i messed around with it too much
any feedback would be appreciated
how long do you wait before throwing in the towel? it does take a minute or two to finish it's task ? And are you opening Odin before you hook the usb to the phone ?
waited probably about 5-10 minutes. yeah i opened odin first, and it detected the phone and showed the Added! text
Just out of curiosity, what is the phone doing right now that you're trying to use Odin on it?
The reason I ask is that if you can get to CWM recovery, you might just be able to re-flash the rom (assuming it's a wipe package) and it would take care of the issue.
i cant get into recovery, but i can get into download (using the button combos). not sure if that means anything either
Well keep trying, and you might want to try the odin 1 click. I have a Cappy that got dipped in the pool, it would not go into recovery at all but I could get the download all the time, But it kept getting stuck at the i896 screen or the AT&T screen (odin 1 click) after 3 weeks of trying and having to wait 3 days for it to come out of it's coma it now works fine. If you try the odin 1 click it might work for you just make sure it's not ver 10.10 I think (look under battery). What screen does it go to once you press power IE: black screen rogers screen etc. ?
ive tried using odin 1 click.. like i said, the first time odin actually picked up the device, but it wouldnt get past the "do not turn target off" prompt. but i tried plugging it in again, and now it doesnt seem to even pickup the phone. when i when i try to boot the phone, its just a black screen. thanks for the input though
I've Had my cappy for something over a year and up until i finally got a working jig it was out of commision for about a month, Then all was saved with the jig and i reflashed stock and started from scratch trying new roms, Then, when trying to go from stock to apex using their own odin flashers, Then when it went back into recovery i hit reboot to begin using CWM. Then all of a sudden, The Gingerbread version of the softbrick screen comes up, Phone----!-----Computer. No worries i have my jig, then when i remove the battery, wait and put the jig back in . . . the phone just shows me a bricked screen again, with a jig i know worked. What have i done?

If by "bricked screen" you mean the Phone--!--Computer screen, you should be able flash back from that screen. In theory, ODIN should recognize your phone at that screen in a manner similar to the way it recognizes it at the normal download mode screen.
As long as you see the computer/phone symbol you should be able to get it reflashed with the J6 Oneclick. If it never appears in ODIN try all of your USB ports. Odin only sees my phone on the two rear ports, go figure.
As far as getting the yellow download screen goes you might consider some other key combos before you declare it non-functioning. Did you flash it back to stock J6? If so, did the 3-button stop working? That may be your issue. Also, you may have put boot loaders on it from another device such as an I9000 and changed the key combo while flashing another ROM. Try battery pull/replace with vol up and USB, vol down and usb, both up/down with USB and see if any of those work.
