If you didn't flash anything to the phone part, you might still be ok. Go here http://ge.tt/2jDX1li and download the Mesmerize files then unzip them. Using Odin again put the pit file in the pit line and the tar.md5 file in the pda line, then put your phone into download mode and push start. If all goes well, you will just be back to stock.

i cant get into download mode the regular way. the only way i have found to get into download mode is to use adb download. when i do that, my PC will not recognize the phone. i get the usual connection sound from computer but that's it. oh and thank you for the files. now just gotta get the phone to stop powering off. like i said 5 seconds max then it powers off, arghhhhhh!!!!!! oh, and also for some reason after the disastrous flash, the volume up button doesn't work. if the phone thinks its a captivate, do i have to get into download mode how the captivate does with both volume up/down? thank you millions!!

You can try the volume up/down. If it is taking adb commands and still powering off, you may have a problem. Did you flash anything to the "phone" part or just the PDA part when you were flashing the captivate files? If you did, or you can't get these files to work, the only thing I can suggest is to use the free phone replacement. Just don't offer any explanation as to what happened.

ok i guess i flashed to the phone. tried all the download modes, phone dosent react. i can get to android system recovery, is there a way to load the stock mesmerize from the file you mentioned before in recovery? as far as the phone replacement goes, are you refering to the deal us cell has if you get it in your plan, or is there some other replacement yo are referring to?

Yeah I'm referring to the deal you get with the plans, hopefully you have the replacement plan or insurance. Either one should work.
If you are getting to stock recovery, and you can still run adb commands, there may be hope. You might be able to get Clockworkmod working, then you could flash the update.zip from recovery. After that, you might be able to flash a ROM and a kernel and possibly get back to normal.
You would have to push the files to root, then for CWM, then get the update.zip file from another person that already has it if you hadn't already gotten CWM working and still had it on your sdcard. Flash it, then flash a ROM and kernel.
That's a little over my paygrade at the moment, but I think that's what you would have to do. Hopefully someone else out there can help you a little more. I really hope you get it fixed.

ok i understand what you're saying. ill give it a try and see what happens. thanks again

Did you ever get this fixed?

not yet. i could fix easy if i could figure out how to keep my phone from shutting down after connecting to usb. it lasts about 5 seconds and then powers off. when i flashed it, i only got about 23% of the way done and the phone disconnected. i guess i has some sort of error or fail safe and shuts down? if i could figure this part out, i could use odin 1.3 to put it back to stock

Try talking out battery hold down volume down and plug in usb while odin is open it will go into download mode then use the mez odin files it should work merry christmas

I don't think talking to the battery will work. They are pretty stubborn. lol... damn phones and their predictive text.

That is correct that "TAKING" the battery out and hold only down volume button then plug in to usb and have ODIN already open and running, should work and also very important that you use PDA BUTTON ONLY....even thought you used PHONE EARLIER ....THE REPLACEMENT FILES FOR STOCK ONLY GO IN PDA....Dont want to make the same mistake twice....as it may seem that phone is the area that you messed up...the fix doesn't go there...PDA ONLY WITH PIT FILE TO MAP FILE LOCATIONS.....hope your Xmas present is a fixed mesmerize....

ok i finally got the captivate os off of it. i can get into download mode and i tried to flash back to stock using the file above in the post. i keeps failing on me. im using odin 1.3 and using both the pit file and tar. putting the .tar in the pda area of odin. please help?

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! i got it! i love u guys for all the help!!!!!!!found odin ver 1.7 on this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=428348&d=1288241246
used it got no errors and im on the phone with uscc right now to reactivate the phone! and of course running titanium backup to get all my files back. best xmas ever!!!!!
thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are so lucky! I'm so have you got it fixed. You have to write this up in another thread as a tutorial.

Odin not working

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.

just curious what methode are you using to enter download mode? Did you try recovery for giggles?

i have tried both download mode and recovery and just trying to let it boot up normal and it will not do anything in all three just a black dead screen

Try leaving the battery in when you go to download mode. Also leave it in when flashing.

if it wont even power on in any way or go into the download mode you might be bricked...I did this before and I had to exchange it at Verizon..luckily since it wouldnt turn on they couldnt tell what I did to it...hope you can get your issue resolved

Ha a true brick. Finally someone using the terminology correctly. A buddy of mine has this happen with his galaxy s. He got it exchanged in store no questions asked. btw Sorry to hear about your phone

To everyone the {Kangfuscius.tar} has helped me when I thought all hope was lost, even in a partial download it helped to bring me back.
Any suggestions on files for the phone tab in ODIN all I can think of is, it can't get worse. The FEDEX guy kow knows me by name between the Fascinate's and now I guess the Charge.
Any help appreciated,

I don't know why your phone is booting into 'VIA' mode and don't even know what that is so I couldn't say a fix other than odining the usual stock rom/pit combo (leaving the battery in when flashing in odin also and uncheck the 'auto reboot' option)... also phone tab/button is NOT supposed to be touched in odin, only PDA, PIT if needed, and Start

Where did it fail in the Odin flash? The only way you should be bricked is if it failed while flashing boot.bin or sbl.bin, otherwise, it should still go to download mode. Have you tried using one of the Force Download Mode jigs/dongles that the GSM models use to get into download mode?

i don't recall where it failed at but it will not not respond to anything with batt or without where can i find the gsm software i will give it a try before i call insurance a link or anything would be great
what gsm models are equivalent to the charge

SGS2 is not equivalent. Just search for galaxy s download jig and i'm sure you'll find what I'm talking about. It is the same thing for all the SGS phones, and some have said it works on the 4G versions of the phones as well.

Hi, I had the same thing happen to my first Charge. I could not boot my phone even to the samsung logo, so I searched around the Internet. Somehow I think it was the Captivate trick worked. I took out sim, battery, sdcard>plugged in usb to computer>held up and down volume together>put in battery; miraculously it went to download. I tried every other combination beforehand and none worked, so I know this method works.
Unfortunately this was before we had IMNUTS Pit file and a odin flash would not change anything so I could not recover and I flashed a Pit that was not for the Charge. Wrong answer! After that it was in the non-boot state again but the same method above would not work any longer. If your phone does not work with the method above, maybe something went wrong with the repartition and pit file. That is just a guess though!

well the jig hasn't worked yet i am running right at 300k tomorrow i am going to get a 1k and add that in also and see if that helps. also pulling all the cards and the battery didn't work either. this is not looking good i am up for any ideas that anyone has
thanks

Hey guys found a way to unbrick Samsung droid charge and revert back to stock.
1. Download and install Odin found here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1085190 ) unzip and open
2.Download this file and unzip ( CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5.7z) from here ( http://www.multiupload.com/6WJ2SFUKO6 ) or original thread where i found this file is from here ( http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-4...talling-guide/ )
3. set phone to download mode, do this by taking battery of phone, plug phone into computer and hold Volume down, a Yellow triangle with a working android will appear.
4. Click on odin you will see your phone come up under ID:COM, now do not click on anywhere but on PDA thats where you will have to find the file you downloaded on step 2 and make sure is the unzipped file. once u find it, click on open then start.
5. Be patient this can take up some time, once is done the box will turn green and say pass, at this time your phone will no longer have the Yellow triangle and you can unplug and place the battery back in and turn phone on.. once again be patient when turning phone on it will take a little while to complete.
i tried this and it does work, my Droid charge was bricked and now it works.
Thanks to xda-developers where i was able to find odin and also thanks to androidflip.com where i was able to find the Droid Charge stock rom to flash it back using odin.
Hope this helped everyone needing help.

Dustin, were you able to get it working? I'm in the same boat. Right after boot.bin it failed. Which was within seconds after hitting the start button in Odin. Verizon won't honor my warranty, because I didn't buy the phone from them.

Hard Brick Fixed
If you are truly hard bricked (no download mode, no power, no nothing), you can get it fixed for $40 at mobiletechvideos.com. I flashed a file that didn't work unless I took off the md5 extension. Big mistake. After trying absolutely everything, including surfing the internet for a day, spending almost $20 to get 2 day delivery for a USB Jig that did absolutely nothing, I sent my phone to mobiletechvideos.com. Josh brought it back from the dead; don't know how, but it was the best $40 I ever spent! I think there aren't any reviews because there haven't been enough newbies like me who just can't wait for Gingerbread and bricked their Samsung Charge. Putting my review there tonight...should be first one. The reviews from all the other phones he has unbricked convinced me to try and I'm glad I did.

Many people have hard bricked their phones trying to downgrade. Give the jig a shot, but don't hold out much hope.
Personally I think there is something being overlooked during the downgrade process... Too many people are hard-bricking during the process for it to be coincidence.

Oh yes

Doing so NOW! For the same issue. My PC decided to spontaneously reboot during ODIN while flashing a ROM on My Droid Charge. Josh was quick to respond to EVERY single annoying question I had about their service. So I am doing so. If it works, I'll tell you, I'm adding a link to their site in my signature on every forum I'm a member of, even forums I have for my daughter's schooling hahaha! They deserve the references just for being quick to respond. Thanks for the info man, props to you.

Have you tried anything to fix this......??
if not just pull batt, hold power and both volume up/down at the same time....when the first samsung logo appears let go of power and continue to hold till you get into recovery. should be like 10 sec maybe 15
wipe data factory reset and you should boot past the loop....if not you most likely have to reflash or use the ultimate unbrick.

mine did this when i deleted the lagfix folder by accident (trying to fee up space) i ended up booting into red recovery and disabling voodo lagfix, rebooted then went back in to recovery and re enabled it.

Im not able to get the recovery to come up, everything is jacked, im trying to track down instructions for that ultimate unbrick..

Did you get this working? When I was running Infused I had to repeatedly do battery pulls and the three button meth. to get the recovery. Should seriously try to get recovery to start before doing a back to stock.
As for Odin recognizing the phone, did you make sure you have the kies with the drivers installed, did you try different usb ports and/or computers caus sometimes the drivers act funky. Have seen other people have problems with Odin and the drivers.

Got odin to work and its back to stock, only problem i have now is when the date/time is set to automatic it sends it completely off the grid, i have to manually set it which i dont like to do, any quick fix to this?

I'm having a similar problem. My phone is bootlooping and my pc and odin are recognizing it, however the issue is that the phone only turns on for half a second before shutting back off, not allowing me to do anything with it. Anyone know of a way to fix this?

Even on stock? Ive seen this problem with custom roms like dlevrom 5.0 but not on stock? Cruise over there and see what he did to fix it. I believe there is a program called fastfix to force the locales to show up with North America. Nevertheless, check your locale and text in settings to make sure if the correct locale for your area is shown. If not there is a program in the market to force the correct one. Sorry, dont recall the programs name. Maybe the fastfix or fasterfix.

Go to either the thread on the Heimdall one click back to stock or the thread on the Unbrickable mod, read up on your download mode access problem and figure which direction to go. Sounds like a soft brick but anything other than a black screen period is salvagable so your all good.

Sounds like the rainbow thing peeps were getting when they used gb leaks with the froyo bootloaders? You are still booting up fine so that is good. Head over to one of the leaks like UCKJ2 or 4 and study first because the gb bootloaders might solve your rainbow but they are to be used with caution, you could brick your phone real quick.

[Q] Rooted Froyo to Frozen Galaxy S 9I000 after a flash with SGS Kernel Flasher

I have like many, played with my Android for 2 years now. I have a bricked Infuse GB (finally toyed with it to its death last week), so I pulled out my old Froyo unrooted backup. I rooted with SuperOneClick - easy. I made some kernel tweaks in Rom Toolbox Pro, and also changed a few status bar icons. I did several reboots and all was running well. I did need to adjust some more tweaks but I saved those for my next big change, when I decided to.
...look into more of what I could do and downloaded the zip file for Voodoo Sound. I read that this could do wonders on my Froyo stock rom and was compatible - actually, I read fairly safe. So I can't say if this caused this or not. It could have been my lack of booting after each simple change, font, notification icons..etc. But I didn't do much more before I flashed Voodoo Sound
I downloaded SGS Kernal Flasher from the market, and when I flashed and it booted, I got the SAMSUNG screen. Then followed by a new black screen with GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white with Samsung logo on bottom. And it stays frozen. I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode to my knowledge - or should I say, experience.
Since this was my backup and what I was doing seemed relatively harmless Im a bit shocked. I loved that my font and icons were changing, something I couldn't do with my gingerbread infuse using rom toolbox pro.
So now I am stuck on a bootscreen I've never seen before, nor intended to flash if that is what happened. Was this flashing Voodoo Sound or was it my negligence with other? I just rooted this yesterday after getting too frustrated to fix the GB. I don't think I had but 4 apps downloaded and really left most of the build.prop stuff alone beyond some minor adjustments for battery life.
So I'm stuck on a boot screen with a phone model I am not familiar with, cannot get into download mode or into recovery mode. I had a TWRP Recovery zip file I never set up yet, never got CWM recovery working - regardless, I just started playing with it so I'm lost as I thought I could just wipe, reinstall packages and reboot fresh. I hate this to be my first post, but I usually find all the answers I need from you guys and I appreciate all the efforts you put into this site to help noobs like myself from creating disasters. I just didn't know what to do and if I'm not hard bricked, I don't want to end up that way.
I thought unrooting would work, but I can't get into the phone so it won't connect to the computer. Also, when plugged in, it shows a battery frozen at zero. I know it's probably charging but that must mean I messed up something that starts at boot. Anyone willing to help me resolve this issue and get me back on so I can make phone calls again - something I should probably stick too, haha. But sometimes, mistakes are the best teachers...so maybe I'll learn something easy from the pros here.

Well u have the wrong kernel flashed some how
I would try a different computer and go for the heimdall package to take phone back to stock.
As soon as you do get to download mode and I know it sucks with bad kernel flash I did before my self. Gotta just keep trying ..... If you got power u can get download mode.
For more information go to qkster thread ...

Thank you, I'll search that out. Well, I thought bricking was more potential, but if I can do a recovery on both that'd be great. I backed all up to laptop and gdrive before - and actually thought about leaving it "new". As my first root and tweaking, or "modding" out the GB was great. And I never picked Froyo back up, but I just wiped it and rooted it yesterday, and I only used it for a month when I got it (long story with phone provider and a dent on the side (but I have two Infuses,Froy and GB)
But I am going to stay away from flashing. That got the GB...but since you brought up the power option. I thought they were toast. If it takes me a few days to learn, I'd do it in a heart beat - they both have power and that means I can get them both working. The GB has a PC on left, Phone on right and a triangle in middle. I didn't read into fixing that - which I thought would be tougher than grabbing my other. Maybe I can get both working and get some more insight.
I appreciate it, and anyone else who inputs. I'll start reading into that other thread after dinner, cross your fingers for me. :fingers-crossed:

I cannot find the specific thread you were directing me to. But I was successful after many attempts to enter download mode. It is being recognized but unable to access the insides of my phone. If I click reboot from download mode (volume down), it boots to the stuck Samsung logo. If I push up, it's in download mode, but I have nothing to send commands to it as it's not being recognized beyond the Samsung USB composite.
Can someone direct me to where the thread may be about the frozen/stuck Samsung boot logo? Also, frozen 0% battery level but charged all night.
I'm trying to find something specific on this but it's difficult being an Infuse Froyo and I'm stuck on the Galaxy S GTI900 which was never there before my last reboot - obviously whatever I flashed was probably for the Galaxy S. I get SAMSUNG, then the Galaxy S screen...can't seem to get into recovery because it's too fast before stuck again.

Take out the battery, put it back in do not turn it on hit volume up and volume down plug in USB that's the download mode you are looking for
