easy to get into download mode, try this:
Unplug usb cable.
Press vol up+vol down at the same time and hold it for a few seconds then when you let go you should see a large triangle which says "do not turn off the fone".. when you see that, have Odin ready with all the flash files setup properly and simply plug the usb into fone from computer.
When you have done that, the [COM: ] entry in Odin will turn Yellow and it will have a number in it. After it does that click start in Odin.
Do not check or uncheck any of the boxes in Odin, let it stay at default.
Be sure to follow instructions in XDA forum where you got the Ultimate Unbrick........
Good luck!
To get into download mode you only need to hold the volume buttons down as you plug in the USB

His instructions for download mode were correct, but I think you have to pull the battery first... Pull battery, hold volume buttons, put battery back, while holding buttons plug micro usb in phone (usb to pc should already be connected)

That's how I do it. Id have Odin already running on pc, take bricked phone and pull battery, hold down both volume buttons, while holding volumes plug phone via usb to computer, the phone should display the triangle screen telling you now to turn off phone or whatever.

Don't need to pull battery if the device is fully off.
If it's bootlooping or something, you'll need to pull battery to stop the bootloop then plug in the USB when holding VolUp and VolDown.
If you get the yellow "working android" screen you're good, if you get the "phone and PC exclamation mark" screen you're still good - the latter just means you HAVE to flash something to get a working phone.
gtg's unbrick package did not have bootloaders so it should not be able to hardbrick your phone. You're hardbricked only if you get a black screen no matter what you do.
PM sent. I would like to offer you a free opportunity to allow me to BETA test and attempt a JTAG repair on your phone and produce a world's first and also allow you to have a repair for free. Let me know! We could make history...
Use a Jig and flash with Odin
Look at this link: android.jakaar.net/infuse-jig.html for information how to make a jig.
Then go here: android.jakaar.net/infuse-return-to-stock.html to flash it back to stock.
Hopefully it would help someone else who more recently bricked their Infuse

Same thing happened to me two days ago. I was going back to stock and the usb cord came out (was house sitting a neighbor's frisky dog). It was me, not the dog. I really thought that I was screwed this time. I only had a few dots in a diagonal pattern and that was it. I did the vol+,vol-, and usb and saw that odin recognized my infuse with nothing on the screen but a few dots in a diagonal pattern. Went through the motions and bingo. It was fixed. GTG to the rescue again!

I've had this happen to me (yanked the cable accidentally) and had the dotted colors/black screen. See if your PC will recognize your phone. The way to tell is if COM##4 or whatever comes up in the far left box in Odin, the box will be yellow. If it does just run odin like your phone is showing the download screen.

Thank you very much. This helped me out when I had no hope left. Now I'm stuck at the CWD blue screen.
I flashed a wrong kernel by mistake... and now my phone just comes up for a sec or so.. shows samsung logo and goes black... i can see the internal and external sd card drives under my computer but cant access them ofcourse. Am i hard bricked? How do i go into DL mode from here?
I had the same situation, thought I hard bricked my phone as well. That little pic of a phone triangle and a small mini computer is really nothing to be alarmed about, its still considered to be a download mode. If you have GTG's Unbrick files Use them in Odin to unbrick your phone and continue as normal.

I have a Samsung Fascinate that will not boot, i get a black screen with a cellphone a ! in a yellow triangle and a computers. The 3 button method will not get me into download or recovery! takeing out the battery and plugging into usb with the volume up button down doesnt work either. I tried plugging it into the computer but adb nor odin would detect it(yes i have the right drivers) please help ive hit a wall
Try plugging in with the battery out and the volume down button pressed until the download mode shows up. Btw may I ask how you got yourself into this mess?

as stated in the first post i have tried that method to get into download mode. and i got into this mess trying to get clockwork on the phone (did not install properly) and trying to put samsung fasinate (verison) rom on it... oops lol?
Actually in OP it says you pressed the volume up button. Volume down is what gets you into download mode.

Found the solution that worked for me. I had to plug in the usb hold volume down then pop in the battery to get it to go into download mode.
Ohh usually it goes with the battery popped out.

Was trying to reimage this phone using Odin v1.3 a usb malfunction error message came up Ive been trying to use it to several computers since then, but the same message kept coming up and of course the odin could recognise the devise and i went up turn the phone on normally all i have is a black screen with a phone and yellow explanation and computer logos on the screen the explanation sign is in between the phone and computer logos and now I can not do anything with this phone...I think my only option is for somebody to help me to find some image that will run on the SD card instead of the USB port.
Please help!
Thank you!
Last night i was flashing the rogers orignal rom through odin and my phone was on download mode. I use rogers tar file on pda and pit file that came with odin1.7 zip.

u r one lucky person...same thing happened to me and i am trying to get my cappy recognized but with no luck...
Hi,
I just bought a captivate (rogers) 2h ago and was trying to put my phone ready for customization and I had the same long/no moving message under odin.
I removed the phone, and now I have the phone/warning/pc icon and nothing more.
And odin doesn't recognize it at all...
Is it bricked?

use jig...it will go in download mode and u can use Odin3 v1.7 after that
Actually I used this method (from xda) :
1. power off phone
2. remove battery.
3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)
4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down
5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons
6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode
And now it works!!! Thanks to adzidek!!

Still under warranty so I'm sending back to Samsung next week.

Do you have a self built jig (3x 100k resistors) or a USB jig?
USB jib is pretty straight forward, you simply put it in the phone's USB port and it will force the phone into download mode. Whether the phone is on or off doesn't matter. (You do need a charged battery in)

I have to say thank you so much. I have been flashing my captivate for over two years now and have soft bricked it many times but I have always been able to 3-button or buttons with USB cable recover it. Last night my brother asked me to flash his phone to CM10. I agreed to and I was shocked with ODIN failed and got stuck on setting connection. I was even more upset when nothing would put me in download mode.
I stumbled on this thread whilst waiting for radio shack to open this morning and my stock 2.2 ODIN saw the phone! Yay. Now the phone is happily running CM10. I think this is a sign anyways that I should make a JIG anyways. Third time in need of one and yet I always find the most obscure way of getting by without it. I am such a bad elec. eng. to not have make a single usb JIG.
Thank you again for posting this so long ago. And thank you XDA for (putting me in trouble but) always having the solutions to save me.
PS. The only difference in the two phones that I can tell is mine is batch 1012 and shipped stock eclair and his is 1xxx and shipped stock froyo.
I think i BRICKD it.....
I was performing a Restore to STOCK using Odin 3 v 1.7 and the GTG's UNBRK files from here.
The process failed while the phone was in Download mode.
Now all I get is
An icon which looks like
A Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer
The phone is not responding to any of the buttons:
1. No power down... I have to remove the battery and then no matter what I do, power on or else, it shows the same icon
Any one else been here?
Any way to FIX this or am I SOL?
I believe this is in the wrong forum but I understand your panic. Don't take my word for this but I believe you need a USB jig to get out of this. Or unless try this:
1. Pull battery for 15-20 seconds
2. Re insert battery
3. Hold volume up/volume down while plugging in USB cord from computer
4. If it succeeds you should be in download mode!
P.s. Sorry if you have already done this, i'm just attempting to help you troubleshoot

Uhh, I haven't gotten stuck on that on my Infuse I don't think, but with the Captivate the solution was to hold vol + and - and power at that screen until it rebooted, then let go of power and it would fall back to download mode.
And yes, this is not development and should be in the general section.

Yes, I meant to write Holding BOTH Vol+ and - and USB insert.
Here are the steps that I got me here... one step is completely stupid....
1. Yesterday, I was trying to get 3e recovery, so got the zip file
2. MISSED this step - of Copying the recovery file to SD Card.
3. Renamed the old recovery in the bin folder to _old
4. Rebooted and then used the ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery.... Bad idea - The phone went blank....
5. Only solution I saw was to ODIN in the GTG's Ultimate unbrick.....
6. Went into Download Mode....
7. ODIN sees the COM Port.
8. Loaded the .pit and other files per instructions....
9. Pressed START
10. ODIN reports failed.
11. Unhooked the USB and HARD rebooted.... Arrived at this icon.
Yes, i am a noob and am paying for my mistake of overlooking a step.
You could possibly try heimdall... do you have kies installed (only needed for drivers)? Hmm, I couldn't help you any further w/o actually being there
Definitely keep me posted!
I have bricked my phone a few times now . Same error screen and everything, just do the vol + and vol - down trick , let it boot to the error screen and startup odin 1.8 or higher. That part is very important. Odin 1.8 will recognize it as a serial device and write the software . Good luck!
I've been in that icon, but I just tried back with Odin gtg's unbrick and it went through perfectly as always. I got there because I forgot to select the pit file and Odin started to download and it failed.
I think that symbol is the same download mode but in this case you must use Odin because the phone can't startup itself. Just don't panic if it worked for me then it would work for you.

weird because I have used odin 1.7 with success each time..
Oh yeah, that error screen is a download mode isn't it? I forgot about that. So just use unbrick from there or flash something else you want.

Yeah, that error screen is download mode, just like the usual "Construction Android" screen, with one difference:
The phone is forcing download mode because it knows it's hosed up. It's saying "flash something with Odin or you're not going anywhere".
So you're already in download mode - no need for button combos, the phone realized you needed it and went straight there for you.
BTW this doesn't belong in Development.

Those symbols only mean that it did not finish the last operation/flashing
Its the same as download mode.
So go back into those "Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer"
Which is download mode and start a new flash of the Ultimate Unbrick.
Good luck, be sure to to put PIT to PIT PDA to PDA and PHONE to PHONE
in odin!!!
GOOD NEWS.
That was simple... Followed the suggestions from Nopcodex90 , Mrjunky and all....

Power it down. Hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power keys down. Don't let them go. When the phone shows the Galaxy S screen, then you see that screen get a little bit brighter, only let go of the Power key. Hold Volume Up & Volume Down until you see the recovery screen.
I think all you really need to do is get it back into download mode and either reflash KJ6 with ODIN or use one of the one-click ROMs by bhundven.

Does it recognize your phone now? If so, what is on the screen of the phone?

No, the phone!triangle is another screen for "download mode".
You are in download mode.
You must have the cable connected to the pc and phone, then start your phone to this mode. Don't plug in the cable after the phone is already in this mode, or it won't detect it (sometimes...).
Follow Bassmanjames's guide that uses my heimdall one-click. Promise

if your phone was "hard bricked" you wouldn't see anything on the screen. Your phone would act dead.
Your phone is soft-bricked. I know what you are seeing on your screen.
Trust me. Open the back of your phone. Pull the battery. Count to 10. Plug the battery back in. Put the battery cover back on. Plug the usb cable into your computer. Hold vol+ and vol- and plug the usb cable into your phone. Keep holding vol+ and vol- till you either see the triangle or dl mode. Either way, Heimdall should detect it as being connected. If not, you need to make sure the odin drivers are truely uninstalled and the heimdall driver is installed correctly. I don't use windows, so you'll need to find help elsewhere on that.

o.k...so...i dont know what just happened...but i was doing baseman heimdall way and while i was waiting for the oneclick jar file to download i was looking at the heimdall program and i clicked on the utilities tab and clicked on "detect device" and it found my device so i was happy. so for some reason i decided to click on the next option to the right which is " close PC screen"...i clicked on close and then all of a sudden my phone just rebooted itself and now its seems totally fine, lmfao! does anyone know what happened? is it because i thought it froze and pulled it out while it was still downloading in odin? and why did clicking "close pc screen" make my phone reboot? im gonna unplug and check out my phone to make sure everything is good with it. Ill get back to you guys soon. Thanks for all the quick responses to my problem, I was super skitzed about it! I really appreciate you guys thanks for your time... ;-)

When you say on, off, on, off. Do you mean the lights flash then it goes off or does it try to boot?
Can you get into download mode?
Have you tried a different battery or left the battery out for an hour or so, then tried again?

i've never get into download mode :S how i do that?
Yes, i tried different battery and it does the same with both.
any solution? could be some files from the software are missing? repair software? u.u
First you need to download Heimdall or Odin from the ISET page to you PC. I believe Odin uses the Kies drivers and Heimdall replaces the with a Samsung composite driver. I personally use the Heimdall back to stock that is rooted.
Once you have them and decide which one you will use, you will need to get into download mode. Take the battery out, connect USB to phone and preferably a rear USB port on your PC. Hold volume up and down, No Power button though, and then insert the battery. This should put you in download mode and you need to push volume up to get to it. Volume down cancels it and will reboot. You may want to just try that one time to see if it corrects the problem. If not, repeat steps to get to download and flash either Odin to Heimdall and then start flashing again.
Read the instructions on the OP of Odin or Heimdall and ask questions if you aren't sure of what to do.

I did what you said multiple times but evertime i do it it just goes straight to the charging screen then reboots and keeps doing the samething?
It seems your power button is faulty. You might need to open it up and clean the contacts or get it repaired.
