So the phone is still pretty new, not much was installed on it at all except Root/SuperUser. There were a few other apps but they are just games. What happen is I did the RyanZa LagFix mod by Tayutama and at first I couldn't put the phone into recovery mode. Later I found out that I had a newer batch of the Samsung Vibrant where the volume up + volume down + power function has been disable by Tmobile so I had to try another method to get into recovery mode. What I did was I use abd/androidSDK to get my phone to reboot into recovery mode and followed all the instruction for the RyanZa Lag Fix . So the installation of packages works and the phone booted up. Then I went into MRC Script to proceed to the next step. Here is where I had the problem . The phone took a really really long time to create the 1gb file to extract file and then it ran a long list and kept going back to "creating a 1GB storage file" over and over again. So i just thought i'll leave it alone to do its thing. The process took so long and then it froze.... I had no choice but to restart it. When restarting, all i get is the vibrant screen, then I hear the sound to the Galaxy S screen but I don't see the Galaxy S screen . After that the screen is totally blank and dark, the 4 sensitive touch button still lights up though. After all the light went out, if I touch the screen the sensitive touch buttons still lights up again but nothing on the screen or sounds. I guessing that my phone got Bricked! I looked all over for help to recover my phone because I see some users did it using ODIN. However, I can't use ODIN because I cant put my phone into download or recovery mode since Tmobile took out the fuction of "holding volume up +volume down then press power" to get into recovery or download mode. The only way I could got in before was through adb/SDK but now that doesn't work because the phone isn't booting up. Is there anyways I can solve this issue or is my phone totally dead? =( please help if anyone know how or had similar issue. I've done this with my brother's Vibrant later and it works fine for him because his Vibrant is the older batch with the "volume up +volume down +power" function still enable. Much appreciation to all the help I can get from everyone. Thank you!!!
Methods I've tried to get the phone into recovery/download mode:
1. take battery out, plug usb in, put battery back in hold up (also tried down) and then press power.
2. I've tried volume up + volume down + power wait for vibrant logo to flash 1 time (also tried 2 flash and 3 flash).
3. I've tried the same methods above and holding it for a long time as well.
I did all the above methods when the phone is off so the only thing that it did for me was flashing the vibrant screen once, then the battery show up with a spinning waiting sign... It didn't put my phone into any type of special mode at all. I hope some of this information would help most of you get an idea where my phone situation is at. =(
have the same problem
someone please help! very much appreciated
Similar issues... I can only enter the "Vibrant Samsung" screen...
Press Volume up + Volume down + power, the logo just blinks, no recovery mode.
I also tired what others said, like plug the usb, open Kies, still can not enter recovery mode.
This happen to me.... take of ur battery n put it back on n make sure ur usb is connected to ur computer n have ur cmd on to.... ( u must have Samsung usb drive install to have it work.... or if u root ur phone using cmd or what so ever called...)
As soon as ur phone boot up ur computer should make a sound that its connect to ur phone ....than type
cd/
cd /AndroidSDK/tools
same situation!!
zzzzomg i'm stuck in the same exact situation!! please help!!
i was following a step by step instructional video for fixing lag on youtube and i went thru the steps just fine. but then decided to re-do the process because i thought I missed a step....so when i went to MCR to run the lag fix and waited for the 1g thing to be made, my screen locked out (after 30 seconds) then it wouldn't load up the screen. So I took out the battery and rebooted my phone, and it gets stuck at the vibrant S screen. AHHHHH Please help!!
Insert battery, Plug in usb, vol up + power. Took me straight to download mode
I really need help with this two. My phone goes into the S logo than goes black and the 4 lights come up on the bottom. Please Help someone
I had the same problem, solved it by booting into samsung recovery and wiping user data, new it was voodoo and I couldn't get into the phone to disable lagfix, wiped user data and voodoo noticed upon reboot with Linda narrating the redo of the lagfix. Btw I did it to myself by battery pull, the first start takes an amazingly long amount of time.

If you can not trigger the download mode and have the [ Phone < ! > Computer ] picture on your screen, the phone is bricked!
I tried the resistor trick, that did not trigger the download mode.

Hello all,
Yesterday I installed Firefly 2.7 on my Canadian Samsung Captivate. Everything worked fine except that I could not receive calls (when I did I lost connection and it hung up right away without me having the time to do anything).
What I did tonight is I tried to reinstall the stock firmeware found somehwere in here. I followed the instructions which asked me to instal it using Odin3 v1.7 which I did. What happened though is that right after I clicked start button in Odin, the installation failed so I was left with an incomplete install.
I was stuck in download mode and could not do anything with my device and my phone would not reboot so I removed the battery. Now I can't boot my phone no matter what I do, I can't connect it to the computer either. I tried the button combination to go in download mode (remove the battery, wait, press vol+ and - and power, connect the phone to pc, put the battery back in, take my finger of the power button) and nothing. No matter what I do or try my phone is not doing anything. It is turned off and it stays that way.
Is my phone now a piece of garbage ? Any idea what I could do ?
Thx in advance ...

download and install pratyush.creed rom using odin and ur phone will be fine again
Bricked Screen (A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death:A fully bricked phone will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector, modified with a 301k resistor as showed in this video:

I try and schema whit modified resistor but nothing. i measured the level of battery it was at 2,4 V after some seconds it down to 0. Maybe it the battery? i charge all the night and next day i put on USB on PC all the day before it die. Maybe i broke the battery and no phone?

i dont think battery is problem in my case.i have checked my handset by replacing battery to.
Now i think service center is the last option.i'll visit there latest by tommorow.
If you send it to the service, please after they send back to you the phone, post what they do to the phone (change motherboard or change another piece or just flash it) Thanks.

i changed my decision and visited service center today instead of tomorrow. when i handovered handset to them they inspected the handset i front of me. they disassembled handset gone through it.finally they told me that "we will try to resolve your problem with software, and the problem is not resolved then they will change(replace) the board.
lets see what they will do.i'll inform u what they did to my handset..............................
I think u need to go to customer care. (even i bricked my phone once...) but never ever accept that uve rooted ur phone... Thats wat i did... and i got my phone repaired without any further issues!

Hello,
I just want to check on the best way to get my phone back to stock before sending back. The phone is on now but I don't want to risk turning it off and not getting it back on in it's rooted state with a custom ROM. If I do a re-boot and hold down on the volume with the menu down will it go into download mode? Can someone check without using the power button?
I see the another option is the mobile odin. The last option could be to flash stock rom, unroot, lock bootloader. I want to minimize risk here.
Thanks
I think I am SOL now. I tried to boot into download it kept turning off. I pulled the battery and it came back on but every time I get to download mode it turned off. SO then I try the mobile oden and what does that do? Tried to boot into oden and it flashed it's own kernel so it won't boot fully until it finishes it's flash. I try to boot into recovery and it just turns off again the same as download because the power button is stuck on.
I took the phone apart and pulled the outside power button out and put the battery back in and it immediately boots to download mode and turns off again because its stuck on.
Worst part as soon as you put in the battery it boots to download and it says custom right on it. Any other ideas? If I disable the power button being stuck on how will I turn it on? Man, 4 droid phones rooted and I think this might be the one that takes me down
Mine is stuck, so when I put the battery in it will turn on automatically. I flash about once or twice a month so what i do is pull out the battery and as soon as i put it back in I hold the button combo to which i want to go to. Vol up and home for recovery or volume down for download mode. You should check out the unroot method in the Stickies
I got it now.

Try using the button combo to reboot. Hold down power+volume up+volume down and see if it will reboot.
If it fails to boot into the OS I'd try to flash back to the stock firmware using all of the Odin files.
Did the Samfail process in ODIN fail or did the phone fail during boot?
Either way you should be okay. However if you can't get it to flash back to stock you may have bricked it, at least a softbrick.

Yes, BlueFox721 has posted the correct method to get out of upload/cp-crash or some other semi-bricked mode.
To recap it, keep holding down Vol Down + Power buttons only, until you see the screen starts rebooting, then release both buttons. Sometimes the reboot may take up to a few minutes, and make sure that the battery is charged at least 50%, otherwise it will fail.
If it keeps booting back into upload/cp-crash or some other weird mode, then hold down the above buttons again, but this time as soon as you see the reboot, do not release them but also quickly hold down the BIXBY button along with first two, which should kick you into download mode (or use a download jig). Then re-flash with full stock firmware using Odin. You may have to try both the normal and patched versions, sometimes it works with the first or the other (when you see a model fail error).

The less than 100% battery charging issue could be caused by several reasons, here they are:
1. The phone was flashed with an eng-boot/kernel which has a charge limitation built in. To fix it, reflash with full stock firmware.
2. The battery may have weakened or about to go bad (check the voltage and capacity with a multi meter first). To fix it, replace the battery.
3. The charging circuit may have gotten damaged from an over-current spike, or the port has been physically damaged either mechanically or by liquid damage.
To fix it, you can try replacing the small circuit board along with the port, or perform the world famous "BillA Bypass" (lol), whereby I physically modify the main circuit board to force charge the battery by bypassing the charging circuit entirely.
Or just refresh samFAILure that's what I did

Can you at least boot into download mode in order to reflash the files? Can you even get into recovery mode or anything? What happens when you hold the volume down button and the power button until the phone turns off? Try holding the volume down button and the power button and as soon as the phone shuts off let both of those buttons go and then hold only the volume up button and see what happens.
Nope, the only thing that occurs is the screen shuts off then goes back Upload mode: Unknow error. I even tried UBreakFix store and they couldn't fix it either. It won't go to recovery mode or Download mode at all.

If it was mine I would try flashing something while it's in upload mode just to see what would happen.. Other than that, it sounds like the phone's done for. Maybe it's internal memory quit working?

If you get to the upload mode screen, press volume down + power buttons until the upload mode screen shuts down (screen goes black). IMMEDIATELY press volume up + bixby + power buttons and keep pressing until you see recovery screen
