[Q] "Weird brick" ?!

Hello...
I have a problem with my SGS. I was on Darky 9.5, and decided to upgrade to JVB. I had CWM & working recovery on Darky 9.5, I disabled lagfix, and I downloaded deodexed JVB rom - in a zip file. I flashed it trough cwm, and it worked. With some issues. The rom (JVB) worked fine, but dialer app force closed a lot, and it was slow, gps badly working etc... I rooted trough odin with chainfires kernel 3.1 and then flashed a small zip file that enabled overscroll glow effect. And all of those things worked. I tried to flash to stock rom using odin and download mode but when I connect my sgs, my pc cannot recognize it. It says "USB device not recognised". So I cannot use ODIN, and also all of a sudden, i cannot enter cwm, even with 3 button combo. I tried this on 3 computers, and I have a second SGS which works fine, including download mode & odin DOES recognise it. So drivers should be fine. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I CAN start DOWNLOAD mode but 3 PC's don't recognize it. And my other SGS works on ALL 3 PC's.
Oh, I fogote to write. I directly flashed 2.3 JVB cwm zip (deodex. file) from cwm (darky 9.5) and that didnt't update bootloaders. The JVB rom booted and worked fine, but after powering on sgs displayed a weird looking boot screen, but the rom booted successfully anyway.
I would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.
Install galaxy s and nexus s drivers on your pc, download odin1.7, download stock gingerbread, tick reparation and phone bootloader update, connect your phone in download mode and click start

Ok, and I already did the same
I tried all of those things, and it didnt work, it won't recognize sgs when in download mode. Only thing I didn't try is using nexus s drivers... I will try that.

I just got a samsung galaxy SII epic touch. like an idiot I went to this forum to try to root it. Now I can't get back to the hboot menu. It just sais that it is downloading and hangs. How can I undo this??? Since then I have rooted the phone. Please help!
Try installing a rom using odin..guess an official rom will be good..this shud work if the phone can go into download mode..

I wish I could but I cannot get to hboot. Every time I try to get to the boot menu it goes into the download kernal mode which does nothing.

But if it goes into download mode, install odin on you computer and you should be able to see your phone?
then you install a rom for your phone trough Odin, i notice that you say you got an SGS II this for instanse is the forum for SGS 1
no hboot
ok. but if I do this will it only root my phone? I have already done that. what I need is to stop the phone from going into this download mode instead of going to the hboot. Now I have a rooted phone that will not go into hboot mode. Is there some sort of startup folder that puts me into this mode? Is there a file that I can delete so I can get into hboot when I reboot?

Unable to access download mode on 2.1

I did the Odin one click to bring my phone back to full stock after having issues. i then downloaded ROM manager from the market, since i am running 2.1 eclair i just flashed it via the app. now to upgrade to a new rom, i need to enter download mode. I thought you could always hold in the power buttons and plug in the usb cable, but that isnt working. this CWM version doesnt have a rebbot recovery option in advanced either. really need download mode, any experts got a tip or two..
You may want to check out the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread. That should get you to download or recovery mode.
Also, it's probably best to let go of Rom Manager - it's not very useful on the Captivate.
now i am at
phone--/!\--PC
and my computer isnt recognizing the phone, as well as Odin is not either...
I'd say to keep trying, and try Heimdall if you haven't already. The phone--/!\--pc screen should work as a download mode.

Yeah it didn't work for me as download mode. I just went to radio shack bought some resisiters and made a little USB jig that got me into the regular download mode though.
