i have a real problem, trying to flash my samsung vibrant with odin, (installing the unofficial update) my phone was bricked, i cant get into download mode, the key combination vol-up + vol-down to get to download mode is not working, i can't get into recovery mode either, (well getting into recovery mode has never worked) i tried using adb reboot recovery with sdk and it comes as device not found.
Am i screwed or there is any way to unbrick?

Take out the battery, wait a full minute. put it back in and the case back together without inadvertantly hitting either the power or up/down keys. Now press the down key. While holding it down, hold down the power key. If that doesn't put you into download mode, you have done the impossible. These phones are (almost) impossible to brick.
I have seemed to have done the something similar as I was trying to reflash with ODIN and the phone went black, I left it alone for several minutes and now when I try to turn the phone on I just have a graphic with a phone and a computer with a little triangle with an exclaimation mark in the middle and nothing else happens.

I really think i have the done impossible, there is no download mode nor recovery mode, (well, this has never worked) i don't know what to do, i'm getting my phone replaced.
I tried using adb on my computer, but the device is not found, my computer doesn't recognize my device.

i beg to differ
nothing is working for me either
So I went to This Site pathikshah. com /blog / install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s/ (sorry about the spaces new user and xda wont let me post links, not spamming honest), I did exactly as it said it was working as planned until it reset after install. First instead of the vibrant screen coming up it now says:
Galaxy S
GT-I9000
Then It goes to:
Android System Recovery <3e>
on that screen it says twards the bottom:
update media please wait
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
so when I try to scroll through the recovery menu I have to push vol Up to scroll down
also it does nothing when i press the ok button (power button), unless I hold it down then it resets and goes back to the same recovery screen
I rooted the samsung galaxy s then added a rom and the rom is crashing my phone I've tried aboslutely everything don't know what else to do.
i also have a problem
i have install ROM manager and make a back up
went i try to recovery my backup it give me first the original recovery mode i know i have to select update.zip to access the clockworkmod recovery (ver 2.5.1.2 last one) i use the option restore and start it
now my phone just reboot in recovery mode
i'm looking if some one have a working ROM backup
tnx for your help
Drago.

Thank you for the video link. I was up to that point unable to get the download/shoveling droid screen. Now I'm in the process of finally getting the phone back to stock after downloading the t-mobile update that cam through and bricked the phone.
no downloading mode
Hi i was hoping this will help me to reenabeling my bricked samsung. But i cant get it in to downloanding mode. the 3 button way isnt working and the way showed in the movie neither. Is there an other way to get the phone back to work?
I have tried all the methods posted here as well as many others from the link posted above. But to no avail.
I did everything successfully up until the reboot. Whereupon, it would not start. No amount of button combination helped me. And taking out the battery pack is no help either. It just won't start. I could use any advice.
Thank you.
I'm in the same boat now, attempted to odin back to stock and now I have a brick. It's just blank, I cant get it into download or recovery mode using any method described.
Is my only shot the jig method I've read about now?
EDIT
Nevermind, I got it. Pulled the battery, replaced it, held down both power buttons, inserted usb (already plugged in comp w/ odin open), boom..entered download mode and flashed..

Remove the battery and insert it again, now keep pressing the volume buttons and connect the USB cable to your phone, the usb cable must be connected to your pc first.
hey, i also experienced bricking my phone. is there a step by step process how to unbrick it? i need urgent help please. by the way im using samsung galaxy s 4g (
after i have gone to download mode. my computer cannot recognize my device. help me please.
to the post above me. Sounds like you have a bad usb data cable. Grab you a new cable online and you should be good to go
I'm assuming you have already downloaded the drivers to your computer. Sasmung.com will have them

As i said before, the phone stays in the cwm recovery menu and doesn't do anything else. If i turn off the phone and then restart it while pressing the power button and the + button volume, it is detected by the pc and installs the drivers, but nothing else.
If i try to use your method, it doesn't communicate with the pc, phone disconnected, unavailable.
Isn't there any other way..
Ok I've managed to flash the phone. just needed windows xp to work correctly with the drivers.
thanks

Thanks to take time to help me. I've try following the step on your link but on the last step, when the official LG flasher is running, I have an message saying that my phone isn't connect with my computer.
Try to reinstall drives.Remove battery, plug phone to computer, press vol+ button and insert battery.
Is the phone suppose to turn on when i put the battery in?
If you put battery and you keep VOL up ,the phone should start in download mode.
I've succesfuly did it, my phone is working again, thanks a lot.
Hello XDA,
i have XCover3 and the device is bricked. When i would boot it only vibrate one time, wont show any light or other, i dont can get in download or recovery menü. The phone was bricked by using kies (firmware update wont finished).
I have read a lot about unbrick via SDCard (debrick.img or SDC), i hope some people have also Xcover3 or a ATF Box and can me create a Image for SDCard.
Thank you XDA

How about vol-down home and power?
So after an weekend i was successful. I don't know if it was my modified img from an 389f or just luck.
The phone didn't show anything. No charging animation, only a black screen. Also with a jig plug it only lighted up a bit, but black screen.
Then i tried my sdcard with the modified imaged.
But i think the main reason is when you press the buttons.
I started up with volume down+home and power. Release it and after a second of black screen i pressed the vol-up key. Suddenly it worked.
The timing is important! Because i was surprised i tried it several times, but only with the right timing i could enter de download mode blindly.

, can't enter into recovery mode, c'ant enter in download mode, even my pc and odin doesn't recognize the device at all, please help I can't afford a new one.
Thanks in advance.
Just flash stock rom with odin, conect to pc pressing vol + and vol - to get download mode
It doesn't react with + - buttons, that is why i can't flash it
What is the last OS you are running?
If the phone keeps restarting, first connect the phone to your PC via USB cable.
Then
1. Keep Vol+ and POWER pressed.
or
2. Keep Vol- and POWER Pressed.
Thank you but it seems that my motherboard is damaged
Thank you but it seems that my motherboard is damaged
I do not think it has been damaged, try pressing vol + vol- boot at the same time a couple of times and then the third release the vol + i the boot and it will restart in dowload mode. then flash with odin each of the partitions of an original rom.
good luck

I need help urgently. I tried to change the splash screen of my Samsung Galaxy A51. I downloaded a custom param tar file, placed it in my downloads folder and used this command in adb shell to replace the older one. I did back up my old param. But there's no way I can restore it. Now, my phone when I try to start it. It doesn't even seem to turn on the screen anymore. I hear the phone vibrating every 2 seconds so I assume it keeps rebooting. I tried to enter download mode but I can't because samsung made it that you need to go into the recovery first, so I tried to go into the recovery but nope, it keeps vibrating and it's not responding to whatever I do. Is there still any hope for my phone? Thanks in advance.
Hello, I had this problem too. My phone also stopped booting into anything, even in TWRP.
For me, the resolve was to make the phone force reboot by holding power button and volume down, then immediately try to enter the downloading mode by holding volume buttons, when the screen turns off
and then you need to flash your device with your stock ROM
I understand you, that you cannot enter the recovery, but for me this method worked
I managed to solve it, the problem I had was that I was unable to boot into download mode. Because I have a samsung galaxy a51 and I did not know how to enter it. The last phone I had was a samsung galaxy s7 edge, back in the old days it was easy to enter download mode, just hold volume down, power button and home button. Now for some reason I need a cable connected to my computer and then hold volume up and down simultaneously. After I figured out how to enter download mode I flashed stock rom and phone worked again.
