1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon

Nice Guide! One thing I noticed is that the color is overdone and instead of helping with reading it has the opposite effect. Made everything look semi-messy and crowded.
good guide..
one question though, the PIT file is the one for the Tmobile JFD file. would that affect any unlocked vibrant? I mean, would it lock the phone back to Tmo??
thanks for sharing,
Cheers
I thought there's no fix to a phone which is really BRICKED? oh well, everything's possible at this time.
Please be more descriptive in your terms of "brick(ed)". The term bricked is meant that your phone isb rendered COMPLETELY & UTTERLY USELESS, FOREVER! The phone will never get used again... Hence.... Brick!?
I like the guide just think it would better off with more descriptive details of what caused the phone to boot loop or not boot.
Ok let me fix up the terms when I get home. I don't think you can ever make the vibrant utterly useless haha. Android phones are nearly impossible to brick

I'm not too sure as I do not have an unlocked phone myself and was wrong the same thing a few days back.

Is there a fix for the brick where the phone does not turn on at all amd does not even respond to the usb in the phone like for example plugging in the phone a wall charger and not even a grey battery or a little circle symbol?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah, read the info under the "HARD BRICK" section Good luck, it should work as that also happened to me, I had it fixed with the method I listed up there.
If you need help or some questions answered during the process, I'll be online for another hour or so, or just PM me
OP. Can you add the soldering option as well? Would be good to have it in here. Added this Guide to the WIKI.

Now off to find the soldering guide x]
what do you do when you use odin and it STILL boots back to the samsung screen??
If the black screen doesn't change after like 15 minutes, then just do the whole process all over again. It could just mean a bad install
Even programs messes up sometimes
Goodluck!
Remember, please post your results so I can see how I can improve this guide!
So, i think i have actualy made a brick. I was running macnut r12/a13 kernal for about a week and had some issues with the overclock so i figured i would just flash aver itself as that has fixed a few issues in the past. booted into clockwork, flashed the rom, no worries. Hit reboot system and it hung at the vibrant/i9k boot screen. At this point i was still not worried. Here is where it gets fun. My Phone will now not boot into recovery, i have been trying now for about 4 hours. I can boot into download mode, but i can not get odin to see my phone. On the same PC, odin sees other vibrants, just not mine. If i turn on the phone it just boot loops at the vibrant/i9k screen. My pc makes the usb plug/unplug noise as it boot loops turning on and off with the vibrant/i9k screen telling me that the drivers could not be installed. If i plug my gf's vibrant in, i have no issues and odin gives me a com port. Any suggestions?
THANKS dude only if if you posted this before when my vibrant was soft bricked... I sent it back I didn't know what to do hehe!
Also a question... if I do this.. will it remove root and everything also does my phone HAVE to be soft/hard bricked to use these methods because I might want to just use the soft brick Odin thing when I want to get back to normal without being soft bricked...

@ Adam, have you tried installing the drivers manually? If not, then I don't know what to say =/ But I'm SURE people around here can offer some help
@Rider, You're welcome, and yes it does remove everything, and yes it does work even when you're not stuck in bootloops

thanks for your reply
If odin recognizes one vibrant( the working one, my gf's) and not the other(my bootlooping) do you still think its a driver issue.
Macnut is a amalgam of almost all the galaxy s's. when my phone booted it would startsaying vibrant, then flash i9k. i did install kies thinking it would have some drivers for the i9k. I will try monkeying with the drivers a bit and let you know.

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

Hey guys
This is my first post at XDA but I am not new to flashing ROM to my Captivate
I have looked all over the forums but could not find an answer to my questions.
My Captivate was originally on Eclair, later upgraded to Froyo with lag fix and it fixed nothing. It was still really slow and unusable. I saw one of my friends running Gingerbread and man it was blazing fast. So I decided to try some Gingerbread.
First of all, my Captivate if 1008 batch. The three button to download mode is not supposed to work for this batch but it worked and I was able to get it back to stock ROM. I was able to use the stock ROM too so I decided to try upgrade to Gingerbread. This time the 3 button download mode did not work. So I did "adb reboot download" and put it into download mode and all problems started.
1. No USB port is detecting the phone.
2. The battery slipped out of the phone and after I put it back, it gave me the infamous phone--!--computer soft bricked state.
3. In Windows 7, No "3 button fix to put it to download mode with Odin3 open" is working
4. In Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), I tried the one-click-unbrick JAR file and the error is "Device Not Detected".
5. I have tried 2 different Micro USB cables and all possible USB ports, still no response.
6. Once I connect the phone to the computer, I get the phone--!--computer logo but lsusb does not show the device.
7. On Windows 7, Device manager does not show any USB device when I connect the phone.
So basically I think the problem is the device is not showing up on any USB port, so there is no question of ODIN, Hiemdall or One-click-anything. What should I do now?
Thanks

Have you tried cleaning the USB port on your phone with some rubbing alcohol and a small piece of cloth on a toothpick? Maybe it's just not making good contact.
Let me give that a quick try.
Two question.
1. Is the device supposed to be detected even in the soft bricked state by the OS?
2. Even in soft bricked state, is the battery charging? Cuz if its not, I need to order an external battery charger.

If you haven't looked through it, check out the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" in my signature.
To answer your questions:
1. Yes. That screen is quasi-download-mode, and the OS should see it.
2. Honestly, I don't know. I think the answer is yes, but someone who understands the hardware better than I do would have to respond.
almost the same crap as me, our captivates are dying >.<
Bricked too
Got my captivate bricked last night and cannot flash any rom. I got the phone-/!\-computer screen and odin and computer does not detect the phone when i plug it in. I have tried every method known to man but am not getting anywhere. Any ideas?

ok so i bricked my phone, then was able to make a jig which allowed me to get the gingerbread bootloaders installed on the captivate. Now, neither my laptop or pc cannot find the phone while it is in download mode. What should I do from here. I am running ginger bread and cannot make download mode work.

i guess your gonna download a firmware on 2.2.1 and flash it..........but i recommend 2.3.3 firmware..try it on mine the ......!....... but still odin detects it......2.2.1 is old try AOKP for are tab....best rom
First, which tab is yours.
Edit: from your pm you indicate P1000.
OK, I sounds luke a broken record now but here goes.
Have you had a look at overcome method.
You need to flash GB-stock-safe-v5.
Sometimes even when screen is blank, it can still be a download mode.
So, be sure that it is charged (using original wall charger).
Then ready Odin and the files in proper places and pre connect the tab to PC.
Then boot to download mode and quickly flash using Odin.

What about a Tab P1000N? What can be done with that one?
One Click Unbrick (by Adam Outler) is not a P1000 specific software.
It should work for P1000N too.

Hey all,
I have recently been given a phone by a friend, a SGS i9000. He bought it as is, and being n00b he couldnt describe anything to me about how or why it was like this. As I have a i9000 myself I took a bit of a look at it, I have no idea what firmware,rom,kernel etc is on it. After researching around it seems to be locked in a bootloop, I can not access any recovery menu, if I hold the power + home button I get the screen below (found this button combo somewhere in the forums, attaining to the Samsung anycall, korean?), but when plugged into my computer it comes up saying "windows could not recognize device blah blah". Any hope??? Last resort will be to get a jig, but ive never had to use them before and not sure if it will solve my issue. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Identify what Phone it could be by checking its top corner for a Tucked in TV Antenna ...if you can pull out an Antenna its an M110S, if not it is an i9000 flashed with a wrong ROM. IF its M110S , just use PIT STOP link below to resolve using How to flash guide
The Anycall screen you are getting means it is still in download mode and can be detected by Odin, if not do a battery pull ( follow My Android Solutions, link below)

Thanks for your reply.
I have looked to see if there is an antenna, nothing there. Ive tried rebooting the PC, and done a battery pull. Whilst in bootloop ive plugged in the phone, nothing comes up. Whilst in download mode, ive plugged in the phone, device detected but unrecognized. I removed everything......then......
1) Uninstalled all drivers and KIES from my PC > Reboot
2) Went to Android solutions, started with step one, no help.
3) Went onto step 2 (Problem:- Cannot connect to PC or Unknown Device, getting Code 43 or any other code or NO response when using USB cable),I checked to see if any pins were bent, and cleaned the contacts using some mini brushes I had. I am using a Samsung USB, same one i use for my i9000, which works 100%. Installed and tried every driver seperately, whilst trying to see if odin would detect anything.
NOTHING :crying:
Tried different ports etc. The only response I get is when ive put the phone into download mode (Home+Power), then all I get when connected to PC is "USB Device not Recognized". Im grateful that I get that, but cant do much else haha.
Can you suggest anything else?? can I even use the jig as a last resort???
Did you remember that you need to reinstall drivers?

Please HELP me
What do I do from here??
Attached are the results I get when trying to use odin and trying to flash EZBASE.
I get further in flashing using heimdall. Without trying to sound n00b, can I not flash the bootloader to something that works???

Hi, ive tried ezboot, still no luck, I get the same error message in odin. Grrr frustrating, seem to be throwing solutions at it but nothing is cracking it.
Is there a way i can do it through heimdall?? seems to get more done when trying to flash except the error i get above?? perhaps how to do a bootloader flash using heimdall not odin??
Thanks

I think the solution to your problem has been found, and your phone is actually an M110S Anycall galaxy S..read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888319...so you need to use the M110S repair kit, download from Pit Stop, link below and flash as per guide or like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28174768&postcount=4774
First of all I would like to thank you xsenman, your posts and guides on these forums have been a huge help. Going along with what you said in your last post, I have started downloading the repair kit, then hopefully do an official update for here (Australia).
I just want to add, you may want to add the the following as a solution to a lot of problems (it helped me verify).
I had a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30797809&postcount=1
And about half way through the thread is IMEI check
I entered the IMEI from my phone (an official samsung gti9000), and it came back with a result saying exactly that.
I then entered the IMEI from my friends phone (bought from ebay >:/ go figure), and it came back saying it was M110S but so has it that the internal sticker on my friends phone says model: GT-i9000
If anyone else gets into a confusion like I have, which it is hard to tell if its fake or not. Posting/sticky the imei check will save a lot of time, heart ache and possibly from creating a $200 paper weight.
Once again thank you so much, hopefully this repair kit will work and the phone will be up and running.
:good:
