Hi I have a Samsung Vibrant T595. To make a long story short, all that comes up is the screen with the phone yellow triangle with the ! and the computer. I cannot get it into download mode. I can't get adb to see it. So am I out of options to fix it? Someone please help if you can I would really appreciate it.
You can Odin from that screen. It happened to me on my old Vibrant. Odin to stock and then try whatever you were doing again.
the com screen doesn't come up at all even with odin opened with administrator priviledges. EDIT: Thanks for your input JR, somehow with a mix of either reinstalling the samsung usb drivers, running oneclick.jar and keeping Odin open the com came on and I fixed it. Do you know anywhere I can find a custom recovery image for this phone? and/or the stock update to kb5 is it? I can't get kies or kies mini to fully download the update. No idea why.
Vibrant forum right here at xda is your best friend.
yeah ive found the custom recovery image and threads for the kb5 update but they dont work. I was just wanting it in case I ever have to go back to stock I could go to 2.2. instead of 2.1
So no drivers detected? Have you checked in device manager?
Did you accidently flash vibrant 4g files?

Dear Friends,
I happened to have a perfectly working rooted SGS running JPK on Froyo until a while ago. When I tried installing fonts with typefresh. This is where everything went haywire. The phone now doesn't want to boot. It says SGS I9000 and vibrates there 4 times and repeats the vibrating cycle. I want the phone to be working again else my mother will murder me. I tried going to the recovery mode and tried to do a factory restore but that didn't help. Tried to reflash the custom ROM I downloaded from this site (can't find that link) using ODIN but it doesn't work either. While reflashing I did not check the repartition tab. What are the possible solutions here?? KIES doesn't detect phone in download mode. Is there any link from where I can download the factory shipped froyo rom and try reflashing the same via ODIN.
Guys please help it has now turned into a Black Screen Of Death. Though I can still go back to Download mode....please help guys this is getting from bad to worse....
Update: The phone now only goes to download mode...
BUMP! Please guys a few hours before mom comes home from work...
Try flashing a 2.1 firmware with Odin.
Google samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I5700 using XDA App
You could also try flashing
Froyo that does not brick
and then flash to JI6
EDIT:
Do you have the drivers set up for your device?
Also, What device are you using? The SGS line has many phones. My advice above was dependent on it being a Vibrant
Yes I do have the drivers for my device. I'll be trying 2.1 in a while. What are the chances of Samsung giving me a replacement for the device??
I live in India. We don't get the Vibrant here. It's just plain old Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000

If you can reach download mode, find you favorite firmware in one of the guides on XDA, and using Odin flash it.
If you know what firmware you were on, you can also just reflash the PDA file of that firmware. The PDA file is Packages inside the rar file you download from samfirmware.com
Best thing is to find a guide, and follow it.
I'd JPK before things went haywire. I'm wondering what's the difference between JPK and JPM. Which one should I go for??
I'm planning to flash to JM8 then doing either JPK/JPM. Is this fine?? Or should I directly flash with JPK/M and forget about JM8? Which one is better K or M? Anything else I need to be aware of before I take the plunge??

Hey pal.
It really doesn't matter which firmware you flash. Over the time, I realized that what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. It really is a very subjective thing.
Between JPK and JPM, the later (JPM) is the latest release. If froyo excites you, go for either JPM or even JP6 (JP6 being a day newer than JPM and recommended i suppose). If eclair suits your use, I would suggest JM9

Eclair - JM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
Froyo - JP6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807351
It really is not difficult flashing firmwares on the i9000. Just follow the instructions from the thread to the dot and you are all set to go. In the same breath, I would also go as far to suggest that you stay away from custom ROM's till you get familiar with the process of flashing ROM's and troubleshooting (in case anything goes wrong). Stick to the stock ROM's and you should be good to begin with.
Do update on your progress.
Cheers.....
Fixed it. Flashed JPK everything working now! Thanks for all the tips and inputs!
I have a Samsung Captivate, and installed froyo 2.2 not knowing such stuff like rooting and roms and after that i installed this so called gingerbread.
I want to remove it now and i just want to stick to froyo cognition but i cant seem to get rid of it. I could use all the help id theres anyone out there has been in the same situation as me.
thank you in advance
You can use the Odin 1-click utility found somewhere on these forums (stickied either at the top of the general forums or development forums) to revert your Captivate to stock, and then flash the most recent Cognition from there.
EDIT: Here's the Odin 1-click utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Note that using Odin will revert you COMPLETELY TO STOCK, including the wipe of all of your files on the phone, contacts (unless saved to sim), etc, etc. There are probably other ways to do it, but Odin is fool-proof and surefire.
JUst FYI i have tried the Master reset by ODIN3 and still doesnt go away. in droid explorer ,my phone is showing an ID as I8971cee92B6 thats an HTC phone

The solution that I linked above should work to restore your phone completely to stock; if you've done that and it hasn't worked, I'm out of my league.
i appreciate the fast reply but isnt this ODIN 3, even though i know you said ODIN1??? Im just confuse
Thanks snapple fish i actually checked it and it does show the earlier build on this ODIN. i appreciate your HELP
I recently used ODIN to flash my T-mo Vibrant back to stock and then upgrade to Froyo. I was unimpressed by Froyo and wanted to flash a custom rom so I rooted and tried to flash a custom rom and it wouldn't work. I then used Odin to try to flash back to stock....got my vibrant stuck on the phone -triangle- computer dl screen after multiple tries it still wouldn't flash in an act of frustration I dl'd another ODIN and one clicked flashed my Vibrant I then find out that this particular ODIN was made to flash a stock captivate rom so now my Vibrant boots to the at&t world phone screen and loops. I tried button combos to get to dl mode and haven't succeeded.....HELP PLEASE! -also will the dl mode usb jig help in this case?-
I'm not familiar what ODIN is but have you posted or tried looking for your answer under the Samsung Vibrant specific forums?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I have the same problem too!
Not sure what to tell you if you cant back into the bootloader...that's kind of an iffy problem...I'd try looking for some info on anyone else who's run into the problem. ODIN's a great tool, but destroying your bootloader can be quite an issue.......
i cannot boot up after flashing the new room of (ics 4.0.4 6/1)
Just hangs at Google screen
the room is from this web of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672010&page=5
You need to use Odin or whatever that Samsung jazz is and reflash it. Sounds like you messed up somewhere. Next time post in the Rom thread or your own phone section. You'll get a better and faster response.

Bro, I had the exact same issue. What you need to do is go back to gingerbread using Kies. Once you have done that then you can root using Odin and then once you have root, stick the rom on your sd card and flash it through your phone. It is however important to note that while using Odin, make absolutely sure Kies is not running. Kies and Odin do not like each other at all and can cause devastating interactions. Just uninstall Kies before you use Odin and then restart your pc. Also, once you have your custom rom on you need to delete all the old drivers for your samsung usb. Then reboot your pc, download new samsung drivers, install them and reboot again. You should be good to go then. The drivers can come in a package with samsung kies, so unfortunately you need to reinstall kies again to get those drivers(Samsung USB Composite Device Drivers). Anyways bro, it is not that complicated once you manage to get the new rom on your phone and you will be glad you did it. I know I was, it took me a week but I finally did it. Hope that helps bro, good luck. And do not stress, our phones are really hard to brick once you get rid of samsung nonsense.

This post is in the same forum as you linked above. It should help you recover this phone from a bad flash/rom.

Moving to Q&A
I apologize in advance, since I know people have asked questions similar to this already. But I am desperate for help, as I have been trying to fix my phone for 3 days now, and have not gotten anywhere!!! so here is my story/problem.
I was trying to do an update on my samsung showcase (cspire) using kies, and during the download it was interrupted somehow. The phone was bricked. (i think) so then I found something called one-click unbrick. after that i'm able to put the phone in download or recovery mode.
So i have been trying to get factory rom back on my phone. I downloaded odin3 v1.70 and v1.82 (i have tried both of these) and i have downloaded atlas 2.2 for pit and I have tried both EH09_modem_CS.TAR.MD5 and EI20.tar.md5\EI20.tar.md5. Everytime I do this odin freezes on factoryyfs.rfs.... I have tried all the tricks I can find, different usb port, diff cable, running as admin, i even download sandboxie ( someone suggested that)... I dont know if i am doing something wrong, or if it is odin... Also, i'm not rly sure about the software i'm using... I have very little experience with this kind of stuff, but i am really determined to fix this! please forgive my ignorance! TIA!!
