I tried using odin to go back to jf6 and its all good until it says Do not turn off target. then it stays there and when i try to reboot my phone is bricked, any advice. also please dont close this topic, i cant post in the development forums and all i want is some help. so how do i get out of a brick and odin i897ucjf6-final-ocd isnt working?
Is it hard or soft bricked? Soft bricked phones are not difficult, in fact, I'm working on a one-click unbrick for soft bricked phones right now.
If it's hard-bricked, black screen, acts like it's off, then you've got no choice other then JTAG or repair center.

Yes, I've seen this too and it scared me a little the first time. It's most likely just a soft-brick. I take it you see some icon about Phone != Computer? I had this problem using Odin One-Click for JF6 when I didn't follow the instructions exactly because I thought some steps were unnecessary. Try this:
1. Power off unit and remove all connections.
2. Remove battery, sim card and SD card.
3. Connect USB cable to computer.
4. Start Odin One-Click
5. Re-insert battery only.
6. Hold down Vol up+down.
7. Connect USB cable to Captivate while still holding volume buttons.
8. Start the Odin download.
And you should now be back it download mode and loading up JF6. Once it reboots, you should have a Stock AT&T Captivate.
If other versions of odin3 or oneclicks don't work try A10 TOOLBOX/ CAptivate toolbox. Used it over 50 times with all different. Revision versions. Works like a charm. alot of Galaxy s / varients are cursed with this Odin/computer dreadful recognize problem. Also keep in mind Odin may choose to only work for one particular USB port. Gotta play around alot

It's actually AIO Toolbox. Love the tool. It's a great tool to help people flash ROMS if they need a little help.

have you restarted your computer? I have to do that occasionally in order to get odin to start working again.
Hi Experts,
This month, I updated my galaxy s 4g to Onecosmic's ICS rom from Gb KI1(rooted) by using installation mod from sd card. Couple of min later, my phone was go into boot loop. Only display googl and samsung logo togglely. So, I tried to recover a phone from this sitution but phone does not go into recovery mod anymore. Only can go into download mod. So I want to return GB again by using Odin with GB rom.
This is stupid thing what I've done. After this my phone is totally dead. Current situtions are like these.
1. USB bricked. My computer does not recognize phone anymore.
2. Power button does not work - This means, I can't power on anymore.
3. Impossible to caharge battery. I was using both of the wall charger and via usb cable but not charging-battery charge indicator not appear.
I thing I messed up rom software. Is there any expert can help me out of this situation?
I would highly appreciate if someone could help me.
There is no ics for the sgs4g. I believe what you flashed is a vibrant rom. Completely different phone. This is why you're bricked, or at least semi bricked right now.
As for fixing it, it's going to be quite hard, if possible at all, from the sounds of it...

If you flashed from your device it is recoverable. Before proceeding Please pull your battery, locate your model number and post it.
That's a haven's sound!!!
This is a haven's sound!!! Thank you Bassmanjames.
my phone's carrier is t-mobile. Model is SGS 4g t959v. From the back of phone is SGH T959V. I wish you save me.
For next time(and for the benefit of all new users that will read this while searching for other things) - Please read This phone is NOT the Vibrant or any other Galaxy- it's the Galaxy S 4G.
Try to get into download mode - here is a guide.
if you succeed - there is hope.
Not work
Thanks Alon2. Now I fully understand about my phone. This is different with any other Galaxy. O.K, but you are not fully understand my situation. My phone is dead. This means I can't get a active screen. So, I don't know my phone is go into download mode or not. Only I do know is, if I connect usb cable to my phone, my computer makes a error sound. This means, usb connection is bricked. if a computer recognize a phone, I can use odin or other program to reinstall the os.
Thank you.

Ooh wait just re read op, he said he can't get into recovery but can get into dl mode.
If you can get into dl mode try to odin something else. If your computer won't sense the phone try using different usb ports. If you absolutely can't get it to read, try to odin or heimdall anyway without. I've gotten it to work before.

Thank guys,
There's a little bit confusion with the situation what I have. So I need to re-describe it.
1. Phone dead means I can't make power the phone on. Even I press power button several times, phone does not response. I don't know why. I read some articles, that said phone met certain situation, it drains battery power very quickly-even not at all.
2.So I replace the battery which is good working with other phone, still I can not power the phone on. ---screen is black.
3. Connect the usb cable to phone, My computer does not recognize a phone. Computer said, usb device error. I re-installed samsung usb driver to computer, same thing happen. IF phone is able to connect computer, I can use odin and do some thing. This means internal USB connection driver(may be) is damaged, I think.
4. SO, WITHOUT POWER & SCREEN & NO CONNECTION TO COMPUTER, I can not do any thing.
There is some article which describer how to recover bricked phone's usb connection, but that's for the HTC desire not for SGS.

Like i said the issue is that you flashed a rom for the wrong phone, is not a battery issue. We need to find a way to hook your phone to the computer, or to perform the unbrickable mod, search it.

Screw Odin, uninstall that crap and use heimdall.
Hey community.
Long time lurker, first time poster.
Anyhow, my brother bricked his infuse last night. Apparently he tried to flash an incompatible cwm fw (Nexus S) and rebooted it, and now its stuck at the samsung logo. Secondly, i tried to push it into download mode and it continues to loop. I tried to connect it to Odin and it does not recongize the phone, however it freezes at a picture of a wheel (similar to windows hourglass) and doesnt move from there.
i'm assuming its perm bricked at this point, unless you have suggestions.
Others have mentioned "jig" and "unbrickable mod" although I could not find any details further than the terms.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just checking, have you tried this?:
Remove the battery, and disconnect USB.
Hold, and continue to hold both volume keys.
Continue to hold vol. keys, connect USB.
Insert battery and continue to hold vol. keys for awhile.
That should put you in download mode.

Lol next time try heimdale. It for me anyways works first try all the time. I only use Odin when i have to, other then that i always use heimdale. Make sure when you use heimdale plug your phone into another port. Ive figured out that a usb port only recognizes the phone a certain way, as heimdale uses different drivers that you install. On my laptop i have two ports that i do not usually use (one is dedicated to a bluetooth dongle/mouse) so one is set up for odin, the other for heimdale.
Yeah heimdall is the way to go...don't even need drivers...it uses its own special drivers that it will download for you if you don't already have them
Heimdall never fails me...but Odin...well Odin is kinda iffy

This is how i used the hemidall one click to stock here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...

samsung i997 bootloop no bootloader solution
Dear guys i'm not saying this will be everybody's case but in my shop we got two of this phones with the issue mentioned above, in the two cases the issue was caused by faulty power button, so before you format or flash your samsung i997 i'll advice to go to youtube search for a diassemble video for your phone take out the main board and with your tester verify that your power button is working properly. If not try to replace the power button. i have soved the two cases that way.
Ok so made a big mistake and tried flashing back to a Gingerbread Rom after being on a Jellybean Rom. I know dumb. Now my phone is stuck on the samsung logo. I can't reach download mode or Recovery. On top of that my computer will not recognize my device. I'm hoping to fix this soon as possibe! Any help would be much appreciated!

Look for Heimdall suite and follow the instructions in the read me to reinstall the driver. Then use a heimdall one-click restore image. That should fix it.
You should be able to enter download mode no matter how messed up your phone may be..
Remove battery and place back in.
Hold both vol+ & vol- and plug in the usb already inserted to the pc.

Any ideas where to find those reinstall driver instructions? The main heimdall post in the infuse community does not have any instructions regarding re downloading drivers I believe. And no there is no download mode. I don't know how that is possible but it is. Download mode is not working on my phone.
I would also like to know the outcome of this, my phone also lost download mode. I'm not sure what happened, I was on the web and it just shut itself off and decided to bootloop itself.
I am almost 100% sure you can't lose download mode.

My friend is unable to get his phone into download mode. His phone loops constantly from the Samsung screen to the CM screen and then back to the Samsung screen.
Pulling the battery and holding down the volume buttons does nothing. Connecting it via USB just brings up the battery screen, but that loops as well (shows the 'thinking' icon then the battery screen). Odin does not recognize it, not sure if he's tried Heimdall yet. But even if he can get that to recognize it, will it do him any good if the phone is constantly cycling power?
As others above have stated, it is not likely you have lost download mode, most likely not performing all of the correct steps. If you do the steps properly and there is no download mode you will need to buy a jig ($2.) , can be found on Amazon.
Once you can achieve download mode, follow qkster's Heimdall instructions, post 1 will get you back to stock GB, and post 2 will get root access again. If you have Kies installed, uninstall it before doing anything else as it is a source of issues.
Note that you must have the latest version of Java. Also, use the same usb port on your computer each time you run Heimdall, be sure that it is a properly operating usb port as well.
Many thanks to qkster for the guide and Entropy for the kernel.

as Pony stated. The other reason we've been seeing the constant power loop is due to a stuck power button. You may need to take it apart and clean the power button.
Look thru the q/a threads...lately, the power button thing has been pretty common

Agreed! I've borked mine something awful before (namely, being careless and trying to go back to GB from JB) and losing IMEI, no recovery, etc. and could still get DL mode. I too had issues with Heimdall, albeit different, but if you use the same usb port (pull batt, plug usb in, hold vol. up/down....then put batt. in and continue to hold until DL mode)....go to control panel/system/device manager and find USB/samsung composite device, right click and update drivers. This is if Heimdall isn't working for you, use Odin v3 and flash GTG's back to stock. It will take you back to froyo unrooted. If Heimdall is working, like others have stated....be sure to have the latest java installed.
edit: If you can use Heimdall, it will prompt you to install correct drivers once you start the program.

Thanks guys for the quick replies (that I just now saw, lol... whoops!). His power button is actually broken on the board itself. He's made his own jig and gets it to boot up, but the phone itself is pretty much done as he's not able to do anything without the power button. He's looking at picking up a SII probably. Appreciate all the help though! :good:

Even with the pwer button broken, if the screen is still intact, a new replacement screen is closer to $135+.
He may be able to sell that screen pretty quickly for $75-$100.
His screen is trashed too, so he's pretty far up the creek without a paddle.
He's trying to sell it on eBay for parts currently. We'll see how that pans out.
I have a stock AT&T S2 (I727) that worked fine. We're now in Costa Rica and I need it unlocked. I'm short on time and the local phone shop said they could unlock it.
They couldn't and gave it back, saying the battery was low.
Battery is recharged, but the phone will not turn on or show any signs of life. When plugged into the charger, nothing on the screen. No response to the reset button sequence.
I downloaded Odin and the S2 drivers and the phone appears, but it's in yellow. When I press the power button, Odin responds with a sound. That's it.
I have no idea what they did, but I know it sure not saving me any time!! Esp since ATT may have just given me the code....
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Wrong forum... This forum is for i777
Anyways
Do you know how to use Odin? What is yellow? If it says COM port yellow that is a good thing, Odin sees your phone. You need it in download mode ( holding both volume up and down while phone is off and Odin on your screen plug it in to the computer, if they loaded a different ROM on it then only holding volume down might put it in download mode) then browse to your stock att ROM with Odin under PDA section and hit flash. Don't change any settings on Odin ... Only add a check mark to update boot loaders. Keep trying until you get a successful flash. After the phone AUTOMATICALLY reboots you can try the 3 button combo, get into recovery and reset to factory and reboot. Hope it helps ...

They bricked ur phone when they tried to unlock it, I almost guarantee it. You could've just purchased an unlock code off the net, but I digress. Keep trying to get the phone to go green in Odin. My guess may be the USB drivers you have installed are incorrect as well.
Yeah, the shop bricked your phone.

Argh. I looked for a 727 forum, but I didn't look for a Skyrocket forum. Sorry.
And sorry for the delay - we lost internet for a while when we got a new house (here in CR).
The shop is willing to try and fix the phone, but not sure I trust them but not sure of my abilities yet.
They said they just updated it. But that's not what they were trying to do - they were supposed to be unlocking it.
Thanks for the detailed directions.
No, I don't know Odin. Reading up a lot....
Yes, it's the COM port that is yellow.
I think I have the correct USB drivers - the computer recognizes my S3 as a I535.
So, I have KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (stock ROM I believe) downloaded. Odin shows this as the entry next to PDA.
Hard to tell the phone is in the download mode, since there's no display.
I've been delaying, but I guess it's time to try....

The ucmc1 tar file in your post is for the i727. If that's the phone you have then go ahead and flash it. If you have an i535 it'll probably brick your phone, don't flash it.
So I tried flashing it. Odin says 'SetupConnection', but then nothing else happened. It didn't pass or fail.
I'm not sure what to do next - I'm afraid to interrupt the process, but nothing is happening...

if the phone has no signs of life it is hardbricked as such odin/computer wont see it, jtag is the only way to fix it
So I guess at this point it doesn't matter what I do - just unplug it or shut down Odin first....
Interesting, Odin still sees it and COM is still yellow. But I don't hear a response from Odin when I press the buttons on the phone.
Trying again.....
Pull battery, hold both volume buttons and insert USB cable from PC..... Release volume keys after about 5 sec.... Push volume - key after that try to flash with odin

Never too late right? lol
Hemidall would've been the right move here.
