I was trying to restore my phone back to stock 2.1 with odin. My phone shut off and now I cant get my computer to even recognize it is plugged in. The picture on the screen now is a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them. I'm in serious need of help.
Relax. Unplug phone and battery. Put batt back. Open odin 1 click. Hold both vol buttons and plug in usb to get to download screen. (Or vol down if you were on i9000 rom.)

No luck
I have tried that and I keep getting the same picture of a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them.
Keep trying. Took me about 10 tries.

No detection
Should the computer detect the phone? It never acts like it is detected. Were you seeing the same symbols on the screen?
if you havent try removing external sd card and sim card too. maybe voodoo but it might help.
How to enter download mode:
Method 1: (ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
adb shell
adb reboot download
Method 2: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
Method 3: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
copied from dg's one click odin page.
Still no go
I appriciate all the replies. I have tried all 3 methods so far but nothing helps. I'm begining to to think it is just beyond bricked. I will keep trying the key sequences. Method number is obviously out.

Here is the screen I'm seeing if this helps.
give the phone a few minutes to rest with battery out or just give it 10 minutes, then try again.
What rom did you have installed?
Have had that screen and worse. black screen with red letters at one time, it just took persistence. I even tried to return phone once but they didnt so I went back to the drawing board. usually the method of pulling battery, sim, and sd, then opening odin, then holding both up and down volume, while holding both vol buttons down, insert the usb. thats the only method i use. it eventually works
Solution Found
If you see this screen this is what to do to get into download mode. This worked and saved my bacon. Thanks to everyone who replied.
•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
•Remove and replace the battery.
•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down

Cool, I kinda remember doing that at some point. Good for you. Now go hack up that phone some more. LOL. If you get brave, try the ROM I am running.. 30 steps to load it.
edit: added your procedure to evernote so i can get to it when i need it.

I had tried to
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons
but I did not see this message:

How can I reset my touch pro ??
THANKS!!!!!!!
The above is a HARD reset, which equates to restoring the device to defaults, so you will lose any software you installed and settings.
What are you trying to do? There's a HARD reset, which you have the procedure for or just a SOFT reset, which will just reboot the device...
I would like to set the device to defaults, but i can't reset it.
I don't know what's wrong of it?

allrighty...
go to setting
then to system
then there is an option 'erase content'
push this button and your content will be erased...so you will perform a hard reset!
I am so sorry that my device can't do anythings in the windows,
so i waould like to reset it.
ok, to do a HARD RESET..
press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the CENTER or ENTER button and with the stylus press and hold the reset button until a colorful screen appear..
and the device ask u if u want to hard reset, it will delete all bla bla bla then press the VOLUME UP button..
then the device screen appear rebooting the device..
and finally press VOLUME UP button again and thats all...!!
Oh my friend! I have told that i press all the keys i need , but there did not show delete all bla bla bla then press the VOLUME UP button..
Turn the device off.
Hold the Volume down and center button (d-pad).
While holding those two, push and HOLD the power button until you see the message that says to push the up volume to hard reset.

No, same was with mine Touch Pro (O2 XDA Diamond Pro). No Hard reset possible via button-method (or I was just not clever enough )
Only possibility is to do it like pensador wrote:

Do it like this Vincent, same result^^
the hard reset comination is keyed into every tp and will work as specified unless there is a hardware problem with any of the keys involved.
Just make sure u r not fat thumbing any of the keys.. if necessary use chopsticks to hold down the keys.
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh now I got it!
The important thing is "[enter] buttons"! Damn manual...
Thx!
i think an important fact.. it was with my one.. turn the phone upside down...i found this on here:

I had a lot of trouble when trying to hard reset the touch pro. I have a fuze as well and never an issue. When I followed these instructions exactly the touch pro preformed a hard reset. Thanks for the help! I looked everywhere on ppcgeeks.
won't reset
I tried all of the above and still nothing. I'm fed up with this phone anyway and am seeking out the next "it" phone. I have never had as many problems with a phone ever. What ever happened to Nokia's hi end?

One last thing to try,
Press soft reset, then immediately after hold Volume down and OK (round button), this method is fool proof.
Silly question, I am sure but... Will a hard reset take me back to the original WM6.1 OS? I installed one ROM I found here, but wants to go back to "normal" 6.1 (don't ask why )
This might be useless but my phone goes through phrases where the power button does not work at all and when it's not working I cannot hard reset at all. This phone is just weird.

plz help me i think i have bricked my phone...
try doing hard reset. If you cant go to recovery mode, open your cover, between the camera and speaker there is tiny hole. Use pointed object to push this while doing download mode combo. You probably need an assistance of a brother or sister lol. Then in recovery mode, Try if your pc can detect your phone again. Then try flashing stock firmware.
that's what i'm trying to do... and something to know there is no button there... that's where the plastic was poured through tiny holes in the mold cavity that made the chassis... if you don't believe me there is another one right beneath the battery...

Lol, are you sure you have the standard international version of i9003?
There would be a small pin hole sort of thing between the camera and the speaker after opening the back flap.
You need to goto the download mode by using a pin. Press the pub hole with a sharp object(not too sharp). Then press the volume down key, then home button. Holding these all, then press the power key for about 4 seconds. You'd see the Samsung boot animation. At this point leave the power key, keep holding other buttons until you see the download mode.
Then connect to a PC to see if it's connected in com port
Press thanks if helped

hello i was trying out
ROM-MTD-TWRP-ICS-4.x-Audiophile and everything was going good so far, but i wanted to flash another rom an i forgot i was using a mtd rom, so i flashed another rom (dont remember the name) and now all i get is the sgs4g logo and team acid logo, thats it . any suggestions??

thank you so much, but it turns out that my phone is not being recognized, i tried using windows xp, windows 7 but it wont recognize my phone and i even tried to buy a different cable but it doesnt work.:crying:
Uninstall all drivers, if your phone is not recognized, it can also be named as Gadget.

thanks, now my phone is being recognized by my computer under the name ( galaxy s4g interface 1). the problem is i tried getting the download mode with the three - button technique and it doesnt work, i even tried to use a usb jig, but i got nothing. my pc recognizes the device when its on, but when its charging i get the ( do not recognize) message. zadig recognizes the device when its on but heimdall doesnt
"I got nothing" You couldn't get into download mode, or your computer doesn't recognize the phone?
If the latter, (and you probably should anyways) I would clean up your computer by uninstalling Kies, the drivers, and start fresh with the phone in download mode before selecting drivers. The device manager in Windows might help (right-click on "Computer" and select Manage, when the window opens, click on Device Manager in the upper left pane, as I recall)
(or just give in and go with Ubuntu )
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
when i turn my phone of and use my usb jig, download mode doesnt work. when my phone is off and im trying to charge it with my computer using my usb, my pc says (usb not recognize)
try putting the usb cabel tightly in the phone
he is a video i made explaining my problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSrRP12yrMg&feature=youtu.be
You have to plug a cable from the pc into the jig. I think.
Or when you plug into pc the phone must be off with volume buttons held down.

Also. The back of your phone looks different. I dunno maybe you got a bigger battery or something but it doesn't look like a galaxy s 4g. Maybe a blaze or a vibrant
djmxp can you please show us your device model, not device name, device MODEL.
Ya looks like a vibrant to me at 1:19 into the video when you see the back, it has the full back, textured finish,

GALAXY S 4G
HIS PHONE
Looks like a vibrant to me. Of course if he flashed the bootloader, the screen is going to say 959V GALAXY S 4G like it does earlier in the video, but I think you flashed the wrong ROM and bootloader for the wrong phone.
It sort of looks like your pictures but he has a full glossed back.
That was a stock photo from a cellphone spec site. Here's a VIBRANT photo in real life. Looks pretty glossy.

Is your phone a vibrant and not a S4G ??????????????????????? I posted pics, you were asked for model numbers and you don't reply to any of us trying to help.

ok here its the actual explanation, i am using a sgs 4g
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MYQ0tHg8k4
I belive my 1+ 6 somehow got bricked. I didn't root it, I didn't unlock the boatloader, I didn't put any custom ROMs, everything was stock. I went to bed like usual, and left the phone charging. Around 1 hour later, I woke up, the screen was on
Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH
PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE.
I was half asleep, I restarted the phone, everything was back to normal and I thought that was the end of it. Woke up late in the morning, confused, because my alarm didn't ring. My phone was dead, wasn't turning on, it wasn't doing anything. It was charged when I restarted it last night (75%). I tried every single combination of buttons, I couldn't get it to boot into Fast Boot, nothing was working.
In the morning, I tried using the Msm tool, but it always got stuck at 'Memory size: 119.19G' after 13 seconds.

I gave up, and tried to turn on the phone a few hours later. It turned on, and I got that message again, that your device is corrupt. Pressed the power key, and it started just fine. It restarted afterwards, and was booting to fast boot menu. No matter what I tried, it was always going to the fast boot menu.
I tried the Msm tool, and this time I got past that stage. But, this time around, it got stuck at downloading system.img to system_a (I left it there for 40 minutes), until I closed everything and tried to restart the procedure.
Now I'm back to square 1, phone won't turn on, won't vibrate and will be stuck at Memory size stage.
Please help me out, I'm really desperate...
try other rom in msmdownloadtool, i give you a link to OxygenOS 9.0.2 MSMDownloadTool v.4.058:

drivers:

This is what I am getting now
Do you have another usb to type-c cable for try?
Tried 3 more cables, and 2 other USB ports, same results. Will have to try it tomorrow, again, on a different machine, but I am doubtful it's going to make any difference.
Any other ideas? Thank you!
try disabling the sha256 check, perhaps you can flash it with errors but your phone boot, seems an internal damage, i never had issues with msmdownloadtool
try a different version of the program and see if a reboot works. This program saved my phone also 2 weeks ago and i thought i was hard bricked also because my phone showed there was no recovery/fastboot and bootloader and at first the program didn't work like it should and after a reboot of the pc and then starting the app and then do the correct button combination so that the led light on the phone will turn yellow i believe and then start the process.
This sounds like a hardware failure, send the phone to oneplus.
Try to contact OnePlus service, I had a very similar problem to my 5T and they solved it via remote desktop.
Press volume up for 5 seconds then plug the device into your laptop. It should be detected as COM3 and the MSM download tool should detect the device.

The device, as mentioned in the initial post, is detected by the MSM tool, however, after I press start, I get hit with an error every time
I have contacted OnePlus, and they said that they no longer do remote fixes, as they used to.
For my past experience, You have to log in EDL mode instead fastboot for flashing through msntool.

Sir, did you solve the problem?
Sounds like an actual hardware issue if this happened on a stock device out of the blue. Contact OnePlus and hopefully they can make it right.

It was a stock device. Apparently the memory went bad out of nowhere, and the motherboard had to be replaced.
Did they replace MoBo for free? I have the same issue
Did you manage to get your phone working again? My onePlus 6 died on me last week too.
It was updated to 11.1.1 a few weeks ago.
Last week while idly scrolling social media, the phone froze, turned off, and when it turned back on, it displayed Qualcomm crashdump mode.
I've been running the MsmDownloadTool, and for the past 55 minutes it's been stuck in "Downloading system.img to system_a".
Not sure how to proceed from here.
my Phone Suddent Does Not Work Power Button so any kind of solution you know please answer me please. if Different Way Know Any Others Friend please Explain me Plz. Advance Thanks Dear.

I was having the same problem as my Power button was broken and I really wanted to restart my phone after regular intervals to get it's performance balanced.
I searched many websites and downloaded many applications to get rid of this problem. It took me long but I finally succeeded in the end.
Here is the simple step you need to follow to get a virtual power button without your phone getting rooted.
1 - Open Playstore
2- Download an Application “ Assistive Touch”
3- Go the settings of the application and click “Lay out”
4- Click on the + button which you can find on the screen easily
5- Add power button from the list of icons you want to add
6- It will ask for a permission, to add Assistive Touch in your services of your Accessibility.
Done. Now you have the Power button Options in your Assistive touch button and you can restart or power off your Android device by simply tapping it.
Stay Happy, Stay blessed
Manufacturers make sure to use the finest quality of robust material in order to ensure that you get a smartphone that stays with you for a long time. However, at times due to certain accidents or mishaps there are high chances that a certain part of your smartphone can deteriorate if proper care and protection is not given.
In the same manner the power button can deteriorate due to a mishap. But what to do if your power button is broken, how to switch on your smartphone before giving it to the repair person?
Switch On Your Smartphone With Broken Power Button Using These 4 Amazing Tricks!
Below are some techniques that you can try on your smartphone to switch it on without using the power button.
Technique 1: Use Physical Objects to Press the Keys
In case your power button is missing then you can consider putting any thin physical object like a toothpick or hair pin to press the power key. Keep pressing it till your device turns on.
Technique 2: Connect Your Phone to Charger or PC
This technique is applicable to a very few devices but it is worth trying. Connect your smartphone to PC using an authentic USB cable. The phone will start charging as well as it will switch on.
Technique 3: Press Volume and Home Button
If your device is an old one which consists of a physical Home button then you can try to switch on your device by pressing volume keys + Home key.
To follow this technique first press both the Volume Keys of up and down. Connect your smartphone to PC using an authentic USB cable. Next, while still holding down both the volume keys, and with the device connected to USB, hold down the Home button. Wait for a few minutes for the menu to appear. Once the menu appears, release all buttons. If you had rooted your device previously then get ready to get loads of warnings and commands on your screen. Simply use your volume keys to go through the options. Find and select the option of restart or switch on the device using the home button. And your device will switch on.
Technique 4: Press Volume Keys
If you have the latest smartphone which does not consist of a physical Home button then simply use your volume keys.
Hold down the volume down key and connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. Keep the volume button held down until you see a boot menu. Select the ‘Start’ option using your volume keys, and your phone will power on.
I hope my answer helps you in switching on your device with a broken power button.
