Hello,
I closed Odin window by mistake while updating my SGS 4G rom.
Now it only boots into the orange triangle screen and I cant seem to put it into download mode whatever combo I've tried.
I would appreciate help in order to bring it back to download mode.
Thank you
Hey, I was reading the noobs guide to odin (windows) thread yesterday. I think they addressed this on the second or third page. You can find it in the bible.

Jager,
Thank you SO MUCH.
Someone wrote that it DOES let you odin even in the orange triangle screen AND IT DOES. :O)
If im not mistaken the orange triangle you speak of is when you brick. If there's a little picture of a cellphone and computer then yeah. Try removing the battery and plugging in the usb while holding the volume keys. Then put in the battery. And sometimes the phone wont show download mode but it'll be in it. If it shows up in odin as if its working then it is

It happens to me all the time. Just plug phone to computer holding volume up and down at same time. It shows the phone-cable-pc thingy and that's download mode. I went into that when I failed to Odin by mistake and just decided to try to Odin while in that "mode" and it did flashed. Hope this helped.
*Have Odin open before you plug cuz' that way you know it found the device.
*I think this method shown on Rootzwiki I discovered first but never posted. It happened while flashing 1st Audiophile. LOL... anyway, w/e. Good luck!

Try this even if the screen stays black/off, as long as Odin recognizes it (You'll get the yellow box with COM# in it) these steps will help.
I have a sidekick 4G and my gf decided to do a factory wipe, something i have done before on other android devices, but when it restarted it went through the normal process but before it loads the OS the screen goes black. The back light is still on but nothing on the screen. So i was reading the forms and saw the odin program and i was able to get the phone into download mode and odin recognized it but after odin was finished the phone restarts and now nothing comes up. Just a black screen with the back light on. Can anyone help...i have scoured the forms and you-tube for an answer but i have come across nothing.
Which .tar file did you use try the stock froyo

Where did you download the files you used for odin

It was from a you-tube video and it was just the odin exe thats it
Look in the sk4g development forum and it should be the topic "[rom] [odin] stock odexed t839uvkg2, I'm pretty sure there is a guide there to if it helps thank the op

I'm also quite sure I bricked my sidekick! I can get to the download mode using the usb cable and the 3-button combo but the phone always resets itself to a black backlight screen in about 50 seconds so I can never get the stock ROM loaded using ODIN. Is there a small quick-loading ROM available that I can use to get my phone back to life? Thanks in advance for the advice
It wont boot into download mode at all... when i plug it in the back light just lights up and that's it and when i press the power button when its not plugged in the back light comes on but then turns off when i let go of the power

If there is no sk logo at all, then yes you bricked it.
Thats how i got into download mode the first time but now it just wont work either way
Did u try removing the battery plugging it in and then holding volume down and the trackpad and then inserting the battery while still holding the buttons
Edit: my bad

I know this is in the SGS4G forum, but you could try this:

You can find the correct boot.bin and sbl.bin, you can extract the odin image for either KD1 or KG2, they should be the same.
yea it just stays lit up and does not change
Then that's a typical hard brick, I'd try the thread I posted above your post, as at this point, you have nothing left to lose.
how do i extract boot.bin and sbl.bin from the KD1? when i open it up i dont see those files
It just flashes the back light and does nothing with everything that i try and when i hold the buttons down to enter download mode it just flashes the back light every few seconds
Then you must be opening the wrong thing, or are using something weird to open it?
What is the name of the tar file you opened, and what program did you use to open it?
i opened it with win-rar what am i pose to use?
winrar should be able to open it just fine. where did you download the tar file from, and that's the exact file name? what do you find when you open it?
Following an update that failed, my telephone phone can not start.
it does not start in recovery mode
There is an icon of a telephone and an icon of a pc with an orange triangle in the middle.
Thank you for your help

I identified the problem.
I had to change the USB port for odin has recognized the telephone
My brother was using his Sidekick over a month ago and it randomly started being unresponsive, I then tried resetting it and it worked out. Within 30 mintues of it being reset it turned off and was stuck on boot loop, long story short from then to now I have tried literally everything (ODIN, KG2, KD1, Heimdall) and still haven't gotten it to turn on. Everytime I do any of these procedures I get a failure because the sidekick reboots while on download mode, I've been wasting so much time on this phone I just want an answer. The phone is in good physical condition and has never been dropped (On hard surfaces anyway) but I want to know if its fixable or beyond repair, thank you :silly:
same thing happen to me with my first sidekick nothing did fixed it
Well what I did was hold the sidekick buttons in down load mode. The whole time heimdall was open and attempt. To flash the bootloaders it works for me

Like xtreme88 said, you need to flash the bootloaders the easiest way to do this is through Heimdall.

Hold the buttons that put the sidekick into download mode the whole time heimdall is running?? I will try that now and see what happens, Thanks!
please guys, I'm sorta new at this and I can't spend that much of my time on it due to school and work, I want the most simplest answers and easiest way to fix this. If you could put active links up on this thread and step by step procedures on how I can fix it with the programs that would be excellent. Also I don't understand, I do use the bootloaders but am I really supposed to hold the download mode buttons the whole time? Thanks guys, and again please keep it simple for me
Everything goes smoothly until I reach FACTORYFS, it reboots itself when I'm at 53% everytime. How do I stop the sidekick from rebooting when I'm using heimdall or ODIN?
One last thing, as of late the Sidekick can only go into download mode and no longer does the boot loop everytime I try to power it on. when I try to power it on nothing happens, when I put in the usb it goes into download mode automatically and keeps rebooting in download mode. .
Try clicking the box that says Flash bootloader
Also, you QUAD-posted! Please don't spam these forums, just edit your posts!
Did you try checking off the repartition box? Something could be out of place o.o

okay thank you ill let you know if that works.
The yellow triangle thing is download mode. Just flash with Odin if the com port lights up in Odin.

Hold both volume buttons and hold power. When you see the Samsung splash screen let go of power only.
Or this:
Quick Boot
Hit the thanks button brother!
