So, I got soft bricked. I tried to odin back to stock but ive tried every three button combo to get back in to download mode with nothing working. I try pulling battery then holding both vol keys then inserting battery and then plugging in usb cable while its plugged into the computer and odin is running. Ive tried every other variation of this as well. I have no idea what to do next, please help. Plugging in the USB after holding the keys only brings up the SAMSUNG screen. I can three button into 3e recovery but of course that is no help. Please help

Follow my first signature link. Read it all...a few times.
Try volume down, put battery in, plug USB cable that is already in PC into phone.

Yeah, I tried that as well. I read that thread and didn't learn anything new. I've been through soft bricks before, many times but never have I lost download mode.

If your getting recovery then download mode is not gone..... put your phone inrecovery mode, if you know how to use adb, or even have it, open command prompt and type: adb devices to see if it recognizes your phone. Should say xxxxx in recovery mode or something. Then type: adb reboot download. This will probably be the only way you will get to download as it sounds like your buttons remapping got screwed up somehow...

Tried it, adb detected nothing. I don't have cwm, I have unmodded 3e. Adb didn't detect any device and I never had USB debugging enabled. I bought a jig off eBay as my last hope, any luck with these?

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.

Also I believe you would get more help if you posted this in the fascinate forums.

BTW i got stuck with one of the awsome fascinates that will not 3 button recovery/download
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.

That is how you get into download mode on the Verizon Fascinate. Why are there all these guesses all over the internet? That is how you do it.

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!
So I'm holding the volume up and down buttons and insterting the usb cable after, it sends me into clockwork mod. Is that download mode???
Also odin doesn't seem to do anything. I prepared it exactly like the return to stock thread told me to.
Try just holding the volume down while inserting usb

Please help. I was using odin3 v1.85 and trying to flash the stock EP4 from the imnuts page. during the flash odin said it failed. My phone now fails to be recognized by my PC. I am not able to boot into CWM nor am I able to boot in to download mode. Any which way I try to get the phone booted up I get the screen that looks like:
cellphone...exclamation point in a triangle... computer
With the battery out of the cell, if I plug the phone into my computer, it is not recognized by the computer and no power flows to the phone
When I put the battery back in and either try to boot to CWM or download mode, I get the:
cell... exclamation point in triangle...computer.
Am I now bricked for good? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you holding the volume down button when plugging it in? Battery out, hold volume down, plug in phone... If still not recognized, try downloading an older version of odin... Then repeat... Ive had my phone at that same screen and came out ok so dont freak... Lol.

Volume down with battery out when connected to PC. Then make sure you put the battery back in before flashing.

Good thought. I booted up Odin3 version 1.3 and no luck. The phone will not go in to download mode but Odin1.3 will recognize the phone as plugged in, which is a step in the right direction compared to Odin3 1.85 which would not. Oh, I am beginning to "freak out" from this stress!!
Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

I use odin v1.82... Try that. If I rememebr right it took me several tries before I got odin to recognize my phone. So your starting with the phone off and battery out... Your holding down volume down key as you plug the phone in? and when you do that it odin recognizes your device but your device just shows that its charging? Try flashing it anyways with the .pit file and stock ep4d... If that doesnt work try flashing CWM first.. Then flash the restore package.. Sounds to me like your phone has been absolutely wiped so you have no recovery image. I think thats finally what got me up and running again.. This is a fixable situation, dont give your hopes up!!!!

Take out the battery and it shouldn't do that.
Fixed.
Thanks to everyone for your help. I used the IMNUTS recommendation on how to "fix my phone" and it worked. Again, thanks for the help!
I can not get my Infuse to go into download mode. I power off the device, and remove the battery just for good measure. I reinstall the battery hold the vol +/vol - rocker and plug the cord in and it does not go into download mode but just powers up the phone. Also when it does this a popup says USB "Device Not Recognized".
I have redownloaded the drivers and Kies from Samsungs website and still nothing. I have tried every port and 3 different cords. It has always worked before, so I am not sure what is happening.
Well for download mode I'm pretty sure you have to hold the power button in that combo when you plug in the cord. At least I had to when I was soft bricked earlier

No, you dont hold the power button. It is a driver issue somehow but I have the drivers installed. Now it will go into download mode but still unrecognized.
That's weird

While trying to install ICS via method B ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878458 ), I bricked my infuse.
When starting up, it has the samsung logo, and then a screen that says Galaxy S Cynaogen Mod.
I cannot get into download mode (hold volume buttons but not power, insert battery, insert usb). I can get to CW recovery mode, and have used the keytest function to make sure my power button didnt think it was being held down. I also tested the volume buttons, both work (and I need them pressed to get to recovery mode anyway). I have tried 2 USB ports and 2 different USB cables.
When I attempt to go into download mode, it just gives me the samsung->galaxy S cyanogen mod screens.
How do I go about unbricking my infuse?
Have you tried flashing a rom and then attempting to boot normally?
Also, try first inserting the battery, then press both vol buttons and insert usb. Not sure if it might make a difference.

Not sure if you tried it but if you can get to CWM, do another factory wipe reset, flash ROM and correct GAPPS, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache and reboot. See if doing it again helps.

Thanks for the quick replies!
I cant install another ROM, since I cant get to download mode, and dont have one on the internal SD card (and cant get to the external one).
Also, try first inserting the battery, then press both vol buttons and insert usb. Not sure if it might make a difference.

Ive tried it both ways, neither works, it just boots normally (but hangs at the galaxy s cyanogen mod screen).
May need to try using SDK as describe in this thrrad.

Ive done some reading, do you think a USB jib to force it into download mode would work?
MIght work. Other have had some success.
Ok, ive tried using the SDK, and I cant get my phone to come up in the list of connected devices. Ive ordered the jig, and not really sure what to try until it arrives.
