Yeah i know, another jackass that is stupid and creates another thread for this. I have had experiance with my phone going with odin and all that good stuff, so i thought i could do the same to my co-workers phone. But he didnt have the 3 button combo working so i just used adb. I got into download started odin got stuck on file anyalisis so i unplugged it... jackass mistake. even after reading all the people that say dont. so now when i power it on its just phone ! computer. NO ATT screen. so are the bootloaders fried? i doubt that cause it still powers on. No button combo will work with usb. (vol up/down -usb, vol up/down/power/ -usb) none. i have tried everything. just goes to phone ! comp. Do i really have to tell him to wait for a jig? And will a jig fix it??? Thats what i am mostly worried about. i dont wanna pay for JTAG. Thanks guys
yup a jig will work. as long as it lights up its not completely fuxxored. could also build a ghetto rigged jig from radioshack and a microUSB end too if ya'll dont wanna wait

You could also try the one click unbrick I have not used it but it may work for you. The phone is not hard bricked which would need to then be jtagged, it is only soft bricked
One click unbrick? Where? Do you mean one click Odin to go to stock? Cause that wont work unless in download mode

Yeah i tried heimdal and one click ubrick it gives me. It doesnt recognize the phone is in download or phone!computer mode
i dunno if it will work but try this: take the battery out, put it back in, plug the phone into ur pc, when the phone /!\ comp screen comes up, hold vol down + vol up + power, wait till the second time the /!\ disappears then release only the power button, you should now be in download mode

I would post in the one click unbrick thread that is still very new and should fix your situation. Adam is working pretty hard to make that compatable, and universal. Make sure you give as much info as possible about the OS platform you are trying to run it on.

As mentioned, a JIG will save you or possible the one click unbrick tool. It sounds like you don't have the Heimdall driver installed correctly as well. Good luck!
Alright so a jig will work. But I don't want to drive into town if one click will work. When I try the resolution center to install drivers Samsung composite device isn't listed so I can't. I have my captivate can I just use that to install the drivers then switch em? I thought I already had the drivers installed cause I connect mine all the time.

Alright so I got a jig and its bow in download mode. But Odin just sits at "set pit file" "do not turn off target " no status bar on the cappy either ...... now what? Its on 2.2 I want it back to stock and so I can put root and cyanogen on it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
this has happened to me quite a few times, try opening odin BEFORE you plug in your cappy in download mode
Hahahaha oh my gosh after I got it into download mode I couldn't get Odin to recognize. But that's because even though adb cmd was exited. It was still in the background process. Therefore blocking Odin. I did it! With your guys help. Thanks guys. Oh and Josh I bought one of your jigs from mobile tech videos. just to help out.

Tried flashing an I9000 rom over a previous I9000 rom and now the phone doesn't boot up all the way. It gets past the AT&T World phone and Samsung splash screens but then goes to a blank screen in which the capacitive buttons are responsive and the phone will vibrate once, accompanied by 2 faster vibrations.
I've tried all the different button holds to get into download mode but none of them seem to work. ADB doesn't work either so Odin3 isn't an option atm.
Is my only option to buy a dongle to force download mode?
yes, you need to buy/make a jig. once you get your phone into download mode, you need to flash the stock rom with the button fixes, as you should have done before flashing anything else.
Read the sticky and try the other method before getting a jig... might work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If all else fails you can make a cheap jig with 3 resistors and no soldering for under $1 from radio shack... search the captivate forum for 3 resistor jig
you said the 3 button doesn't work, but did you try pulling the battery, SIM and micro SD out, then plug into computer, then hold volume UP and Down and THEN insert the battery while connected to PC and pressing both volume buttons, should go to download in a second. at least mines did when none of the 3 button combination worked

Yah, forgot about the whole flashing back to stock thing since I hadn't used the thing for a couple weeks now. I'd only been using an Incredible for different roms. I think I'll just make a jig later.

Is there any reason this wouldn't work? I tried it on my captivate and can't get it in download mode.

Yes because you have no 3button combo. Your only bet would be to use a jig to get into download mode. And no I would not even try to do a nandroid backup because those can cause the same issue unless you are running the same Kernel as the backup.
Ok, have made the jig and am now in download mode. One problem though, even though I have the drivers installed for Windows X64, it is being read as an unknown device. So still no luck with Odin.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue and still no luck. In download mode and even pointing it to drivers doesnt work. Like its not recognizing it as a android device even though its in download mode
I have videos for ODIN...Check my sig...
Ok, after about 1000 tries and getting ready to lose hope, I got it to work by holding it a different way. I think it was just a USB cord problem in the end. Thanks everyone for your help. Unfortunately, my other phone, Samsung Focus, took an unfortunate fall preceeding this fix making this win feel kind of insignificant.
I was helping a wonderfully smart girl the past few days, and today she bricked herself, i wasnt available to help her but she was able to FIX HERSELF! Smart girl had a good teacher!
short story:
flashing with odin in download mode
seemed to freeze at (sorry) something like "setup connections"
restart odin and phone....
PHONE BRICK SCREEN
Heres the snag:
She swears up and down, Odin3 1.7 recognized the phone (turned yellow in box) AND FLASHED back to stock WHILE BRICK SCREEN WAS SHOWING... (didnt get into download mode)
she has flashed several times with odin and knows "download mode" screen.
ive never heard of this so thought i would post. see if any other brickers can do it..
My one and only thought on how this might be possible sometimes is dependant on how and at what part of the process she bricked first... but maybe we've overlooked something basic all this time...
let the denial begin....

I have that instances before when I was still learning to flash, a computer and a phone screen. All I have done was remove the battery put the battery back with cover, hold volume rocker both the up and down but dont press the power button then plug usb cable on your phone (cable must be already attached to pc) when you see the yellow triangle and the shovel guy (aka download mode) remove usb from phone then run odin once running connect your phone via usb again it should detect your phone. then hit start after it finishes and reboots you may a do master clear with usb debugging on in settings. I don't know if this will work for you as this has work with mine.
(note: odin will not detect your phone if it is running and at the same time you perform download mode with your phone in my part this is the process where I brick my phone) following the right steps is very crucial in flashing roms specialy when new to the process.
I am not freaking out as i havent tried jig to unbrick it yet...
but may be becoz of my build number and i lost 3 button combo when i used odin one clcik earlier...i am not lucky enough

So I recently made a thread how adb wasn't working and that evolved into not being able to get into download mode. Now after not being able to get into download mode for days, I'm still stuck on cm7 with no way of getting back to stock. 3-button recovery won't work, the only way to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. No button and cable methods work to get phone into download mode as well as adb reboot download. I even recently tried http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c which is a makeshift usb jig. I successfully made it but it would only turn the phone on. WTF. I'm afraid to buy a real usb jig from online because it most likely will cause the same thing. What is there to do? I'm completely lost. The phone works, the rom is okay I just cannot get back to stock and get rid of cm7. There are lots of issues I need to fix and cannot because of this. Any ideas?????
EDIT: Now I'm completely f'ed. I tried flashing cm7 instead of MIUI again to try once more if I would have better luck on just cm7, but during flash in cwm the phone turned off because the battery compartment was loose and now the phone boots up and goes into recovery shows some code then turns off again
(This post just in case anyone missed the reason in the edit)
Reason: EDIT: FIXED! Don't know what happened. Rearranged resistors and tried again and finally got it

What's your process to get CM7/Miui installed?
On a side note, ADB won't connect to your device unless you have the Nexus S drivers installed on you computer when CM7/Miui is installed
When I was last on cm7 adb reboot download doesn't work.
Drivers installed
Just sayin
Sent from my unbrickable cappy *bam*
yeah, i distinctly remember the first CM7 build threads that came up here saying that adb reboot download DOES NOT work, and you DO need working 3 buttons or a jig
not sure why that was removed from the threads
A jig should work
You might be coming into contact with the resistors (I can't watch that youtube video from work--firewalled--so I don't know what the setup looks like). Any contact with the them will make it not work. Try insulating them more with some heavy packing tape.
I cut up my mini-usb plug from my car charger (didn't need it), and peeled off all the plastic so I could easily touch the correct two pins with the jig when the hacked up mini-usb is plugged in. Works like a charm. Sometimes if you aren't touching them just right, or if one end of the pin is touching the wrong point the power will come on.
Try harder with the jig, I guarantee you it will work (and you shouldn't have to buy one--it's too easy to do yourself for less than $2 and about 5 minutes).
Good luck!
Just a thought. Are you installing GB boot loaders before flashing CM7/Miui? If so, the way to get into Recovery/Download mode changes. Recovery is vol+/power, Download is Vol-/power.
Just thought I'd toss that out there...just in case

I've lost the 3combo after installing the GB bootloaders with CM7 but the Odin Connection was lost on the SBL, The phone is not even Powering on anymore
If your phone has no signs of life at all, then sadly you are hard bricked...
But it can be fixed through jtag or the unbrickable mod.
So is there hope?

I don't think you need jtag (but you can look into it). If your phone is able to at least power on, you should be able to use a Jig to get it into download mode. That is what I did with mine when all the options fail.
good luck.

If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (wich it wont if he failed on sbl) Jtag or Unbrickable Mod would be your 2 best bet. (Id use Unbrickable mode since it will protect you from future issues.)
Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. My process for going to cm7/miui is flashing stock eclair through odin one click, then rooting and installing cwm. From there I just flash the latest nightly or whatever it is. Nothing I'm doing seems to be wrong
The problem is that I should be able to get into download mode without having to use a jig every single time. 3 button combo should work, but it doesn't when using cm7/miui for some reason
I have rooted my P1010 for about 3 months now and now and again it used to freeze and have a black screen but the key at the bottom would still be lit up. But now all of a sudden the tab will not turn on at all. I have left it on the charge over night but still no sign of it turning on. Does this mean its bricked? I just dont know why it done this all of a sudden.
Hm... Maybe you just need to force the shutdown(Power button+Vol- button) and turn on again(power button).

Bro, there is this unbrickable mod you still can do. As long as you don't fry any hardware, there is nothing you can do software-wise to really brick your device. You are owning a very special device. A true Lazarus. Don't give up.
But as TheATHEiST mention, you may want to try this, bro:
Plug it into computer, start odin and press Power + Volume down for at least 5 seconds. See if Odin can catch your device. If Odin still can catch it, then it is in download mode - with blank screen.

Also now all of a sudden when I connect the tab through usb I can get it into download mode for 1 second then it just flashes on and off on the boot screen. If I leave it for a while it will sometimes go into recovery mode but I cant seem to flash anything or factory reset.
EDIT: WE GOT IT FIXED GUYS!!! Thanks for your help guys. I just kept forcing it into recovery and factory resetting it until it rebooted. What do you think caused it to do that? Should I unroot it or flash a different rom? Or did that just happen by chance?
Okay, So I ordered my phone from amazon, It came stock 2.1 eclair, I read the instructions for flashing any rom from stock, well, when i went to put my phone into download mode, it wouldnt do anything, just charge or turn on, so I thought, ehhhh I dont need odin, and downloaded some outdated CWM, the one with green text, and flashed, REMICS-JB. Yes, I know how stupid this was -.- but I did a nandroid hoping if anything went wrong, I could just restore, well now I cannot get into dl mode nor recovery, ACTUALLY I dont know what I did, but it go into recovery mode, and it looked as if it was the lastest, sephamore 6.5 some stuff like that, and tried to restore my nandroid, nothing... so I thought well maybe I can flash REMICS again and it will actually work, NOT, so now Im stuck, Ordered a jig from amazon, stupid Hurricane sandy is messing up my order blah blah blah, Is there anything I can do? Ive tried every trick in the book, looked allllllll over the captivate forums, search everything. And when I try to hold both vol- and vol + plug usb, I getb a circle of white dashes like its about to charge and just freezes, but if I plug into a wall charger, it gives me some weird white charging instead of the orginal green. If ANYONE can help me, or tell me how I got into that sephamore recovery because I dont have a clue on how I did it. Id be so appreciative. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread blah blah, Im new and Just need help, Please and thank you.....:crying:
Using Odin can be frustrating but very effective. When using Odin you should make sure you have your captivate drivers installed in your computer, disable your anti-virus and turn off firewall, if you have any other programs like itunes or htc sync it can prevent the program from running right as well. Make sure you run as administrator and make sure your sim card and micro sd card are out of your phone as well...As far as getting into download mode, have Odin opened and ready to run, hold down both volume buttons and don't let go till your phone shows as added on the program. While holding the volume buttons only put your battery back into your phone and quickly plug your phone into the computer(still holding in the volume buttons) after about 3 seconds your phone will go into download mode and be recognized by odin. You may now release the volume buttons and flash your phone. If I left anything out I aplologize. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

Make sure you run as administrator and make sure your sim card and micro sd card are out of your phone as well...As far as getting into download mode, have Odin opened and ready to run, hold down both volume buttons and don't let go till your phone shows as added on the program. While holding the volume buttons only put your battery back into your phone and quickly plug your phone into the computer(still holding in the volume buttons) after about 3 seconds your phone will go into download mode and be recognized by odin. You may now release the volume buttons and flash your phone. If I left anything out I aplologize. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:

I did as you said, but Im still only getting the white circle that freezes, and odin does not recognize it.

Haha was already looking at it, I was insterested in making one, but I live out in BFE and radio shack is 20 miles away, only have one usb, so that wasnt much of an option, which is why I ordered a jig, which is being affected by the hurricane. But Im downloading dual boot ubuntu and hopefully unbrickable mod will help, if not I gotta wait till tuesday for the jig. so impatient, all I wanted was REMICS-JB
