I tried to put in the mod for the circle battery and the evo black bar on top of just having the circle battery in already.. minus the black bar mod. I went to update it from recovery mode, it turns on with the ATT and the Galaxy S screen... then just goes black. Not sure what to really do about this other then messing with any more mods after this.
I tried Recovery Mode and deleting everything and then rebooting it... it did nothing.
this happened to me too... 3 times actually.
Not really sure what causes the problem, but at this point you're gonna have to reflash the firmware. Use the Odin oneclick downloader to reflash to stock, then odin v1.0 to flash to what ever firmware you had on before.
In order to do this, you have to put your phone into recovery mode. First open up odin one click downloader. Next, hold the volume up and down button (if your on the i9000 firmware, just hold down the down volume button) and insert the usb. after a few seconds, a new screen should pop up saying it's in download mode. (the screen should say "download, do not turn off target!!!") then hit start on odin.
When you do the black bar/battery update, make sure you re-download it, put it into your sdcard, then rename it. DO NOT reinstall an update that you've already installed. this will also screw up the firmware.
download mode was a bit trickery for me to get into.....
here are my steps...
Open Odin3 and get the pit file and pda tar file inputted.
then plug your phone into usb.
turn on the phone to just the charging graphic...
from there hold the vol up nad vol down buttons and then hold the power button.
The graphic should disappear, let go of power when screen goes black and then it should go into "download mode"
it took me over 2 hours the other night to get into download mode.
Well I got it into Download mode and on Odin it's saying File analysis and do not turn off target... so I guess that means it's working?
Well I think I just bricked it for good now. I had it in download mode, it started to reset everything and the screen turned green for a little while, I thought something was wrong when that happened so I just took the battery out again to turn it off... now it won't even turn back on.

I apologize if this is a duplicate but I have a problem.
The USB cable came out of the phone while loading GR-10 ROM so of course the flash failed. The phone will boot up in Android System Recovery but go no further. Download mode does not appear to be available. Tried several times (5).
There is bunch of failed message string below.
My questions are:
Is this a soft boot where a Jig would make it go into Download mode?
Or is this a hard boot and I need to do something else?
Thanks in advance for any replies!

you should be able to reach download with adb comands.
if it still boots at all you should still have a good combination of bootloaders. have you tried the i9000 combos as well? volume down+power untill the splash screen pops up, volume down for 2 sec then plug in usb cable with odin open? volume down+menu+power? pull battery then vol down + power + put battery back in?
also have you tried the captivate variations? volume up+vol down+power till att splash goes away, vol up + vol down+ usb cable, pull battery then vol up+vol down+usb +put battery back in?
id try them all or use adb while into recovery mode.
I went to take a shower and came back to try it again.
I got it to go into download mode. I believe it was the I9000 version which worked - volume down+power untill the splash screen pops up, volume down for 2 sec then plug in usb cable with odin open
However, it appears to be stuck trying to load. In Odin 3 app, I am at factoryfs.rfs and the progress bar has not moved for about 20 mins. Also my COM window is yellow.
It looks like Odin3 and Captivate are not talking and that the Captivate drivers did not load. Does that sound right?

Yeah, sounds like odin is detecting your phone, but having trouble transferring junk to it. Try a different usb port, or perhaps a different usb cable if you happen to have a spare one?
You can also try it again if it's stuck on factoryfs.rfs, since it's not in the process of flashing bootloaders it should be "ok" to pull the cable and try again.
Also, it shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to flash factoryfs.rfs, anything longer is a pretty good indicator that something went terribly wrong.
Also try restarting your computer.

Just so you know - I tried everything mentioned here and I was not able to get the phone working.
The phone would not communicate with the computer correctly. I could never get the Odin3 to show anything other than yellow when I connected the phone and was in download mode.
I could not get it to boot at all at the end. So I took it to the local ATT&T repair center and got a replacement.
Thanks again.
I was flashing a I1900 rom, Amestris. I did a full wipe and a wipe of delvik started to flash the rom and during the flash the screen went black. When I try to start it back up if I hold the power and the vol up/dn the samsung screen comes up but just for a split sec and then goes back off with almost a tv animation?. I cannot get to either download or recovery at this point and of course not with adb either. acts like a dead battery? but the battery was fully charged. When plugged into the charger the charging emblem does not come on either?
Any help out there?
Nevermind, got to download!

Yes, that is exactly what I did. My problem was that I could not get to download. Thus I could not acomplish this. All is good now. I got download, flashed to stock and back to my daily. I just do not know how it stopped in the middle of a flash and shut down? I will try to duplicate it later.
TV screen? Did it maybe look like a "Phone-to-PC" screen?
That's the "You're not getting anywhere until you flash something" variant of download mode, but it IS download (Odin/Heimdall) mode.
Or you may have flashed a ROM that had an autoreboot in its script so it's a bad kernel - so enter download mode and Odin away. You might get away with just Odin/Heimdalling a Hellraiser-compatible kernel to get you to CWM.
To enter download mode:
Pull and reinsert battery
Hold VolUp/VolDn (but NOT power)
Plug in the USB cable to the phone when it's connected to a PC

No it was not that screen.
It looked like the screen off animation of some roms where it looks like an old TV. I have seen lots of soft bricks but this was new. As soon as the samsung screen came up it instantly went off. Very hard time getting into download also. It was also the firt time I ever had a phone stop in the middle of a flash, on it's own and become soft bricked. I have been back on Dario's, Darky's and now Infused since and all is good. Just not sure how it happened. I plan to try to duplicate just to find the real cause and warn others. Unless it was just a odd fluke of sorts...
I rooted my phone last week. everything was fine until I got CWM recovery, and somehow bricked my phone trying to flash a ROM from a zip file. Now my phone is stuck at the splash screen when you try to turn it on, and when you try to boot into recovery or download modes, it doesnt do a thing. pretty sure I did something dumb and formatted something i wasnt supposed to.
Now I have downloaded ODIN and the things i need to get back to stock, but i cant boot into download mode to do it! I need some help bad. Bless me, android jesus. I need you now lol

yea I figured that out yesterday. Had to go into download mode and restore phone to default with the t839-Sidekick4g-UGKV2-one-click thing I found. thought I was done for but I'm back workin.
Hello,
I just want to check on the best way to get my phone back to stock before sending back. The phone is on now but I don't want to risk turning it off and not getting it back on in it's rooted state with a custom ROM. If I do a re-boot and hold down on the volume with the menu down will it go into download mode? Can someone check without using the power button?
I see the another option is the mobile odin. The last option could be to flash stock rom, unroot, lock bootloader. I want to minimize risk here.
Thanks
I think I am SOL now. I tried to boot into download it kept turning off. I pulled the battery and it came back on but every time I get to download mode it turned off. SO then I try the mobile oden and what does that do? Tried to boot into oden and it flashed it's own kernel so it won't boot fully until it finishes it's flash. I try to boot into recovery and it just turns off again the same as download because the power button is stuck on.
I took the phone apart and pulled the outside power button out and put the battery back in and it immediately boots to download mode and turns off again because its stuck on.
Worst part as soon as you put in the battery it boots to download and it says custom right on it. Any other ideas? If I disable the power button being stuck on how will I turn it on? Man, 4 droid phones rooted and I think this might be the one that takes me down
Mine is stuck, so when I put the battery in it will turn on automatically. I flash about once or twice a month so what i do is pull out the battery and as soon as i put it back in I hold the button combo to which i want to go to. Vol up and home for recovery or volume down for download mode. You should check out the unroot method in the Stickies
I got it now.
Hi Guys,
Trying to figure out what I did wrong here... So i have a Samsung s6 with xtrestolite ROM, I wanted to flash back to stock, so i went into download mode, downloaded the stock recovery and flashed it via AP on Odin. The phone rebooted after the 'pass' message, then stayed stuck on the loading screen, wouldn't turn off, I had to open the phone and pull the battery. Now it won't turn on whatsoever, if i plug it in to charge, the charge graphic comes on, and then if i press and hold power it goes to the loading screen, but nothing else.
Holding VolDown+Home+Power wont get me into download mode, even if i hold the buttons for a good few minutes... any thoughts?

Firstly, when you are stuck on the Samsung logo, you need to hold volume down, home button and power at the same time until it brings you to the download mode screen. Second of all, if you want to go back to stock, you don't flash the stock recovery.. You download the firmware for your EXACT device model from websites such as Sammobile., then flash it using Odin And the last thing you want to do is remove the back. If you are still stuck in the current situation; while it is powered off, hold power, home button, and volume down and go into download mode. Then download the flash the EXACT firmware for your model of device, it will say at the top left in download mode, that is your current model. If these steps fail then I can't help you any further, you may want to ask someone else. If you don't know how to flash stock firmware, google it.
