I tried it. My phone does not seem to go into download mode. Any idea why? I held down the three keys for more than 5 minutes, but the white lights just keep showing. Nothing else happens.
Update: The phone screen turned on after a few minutes of holding down the buttons. It shows a screen where there's a battery icon. I believe the phone was severely drained. No other reason for it. But why didn't the screen show when I had plugged it into the computer yesterday or when I tried charging it for hours long back?
I'll keep you posted when the phone turns on.

I think it's some hardware error you got.
I too had the same problem you have.
I returned it to the sc they replaced it's motherboard.
But I think your phone turned on for a reason known as stack charging.
It is cycle of continous charging. Let it charge and ensure that battery is more than 70%.
Then you can perform this procedure.

There are only three modes in XT530

2. Recovery mode

[GUIDE] Noobs guide to Odin to flash your SGS4G (Windows)

UPDATED 04/08/11 - Thanks for the comments to make this process less confusing
I have seen a lot of questions about how to use Odin to flash your SGS4G. I am a noob as well and had to search throughout the forums to get the answers so here it is, plain and simple:
1. Download the Stock + Root rom (.tar file) posted by Krylon360 (kudos) HERE, or a rom from anyone else that has one being built for the SGS4G (use caution, do not attempt to flash a rom for a different device!)
2. Install the SGS usb driver 32-bit or 64-bit
3. Download Odin 1.7 HERE and RUN IT FIRST (before you plug in your phone in step 5 - this allows Odin to find your phone)
4. Remove your memory and sim card (I did this because Odin failed to flash my phone when they were present)
5. Put your SGS4G into Download mode (Hold volume up + volume down then plug in your usb cable running from the compy) You should see a big triangle symbol
6. Wait for your computer to install all drivers (takes a minute)
7. In Odin click the PDA button and select the rom (.tar file)
8. Make certain that Re-Partition is not checked
9. Click the start button and let it do its magic (takes a couple minutes)
10. After it completes your phone will reboot into recovery mode
11. Select reboot system now with the power button (takes a couple minutes to establish the new system)
Like everyone has said before, we are not responsible if you brick your phone. This process worked flawlessly for me.
My thanks go out to the people that are working on the roms and recovery systems that make this all possible. You should thank them by donating or by clicking the thanks button.

I've never heard of you having to root your phone for using Odin to flash your phone. As long as you can get into download mode. You should be able to flash your phone using Odin.
Also I've never had to remove my memory or sim card either. This is true with my SGS4G and when I had my Vibrant.
Please provide download links to Odin and stock TAR for the Super Noobs. Not all noobs know how to use the Search..hehe.
i never removed my memory card or sim and it still works fine
Step 1 -- Get a Windows box
Also, ODIN is available off links at http://www.samfirmware.com/
Do you guys know how long it usually takes for Odin to do its thing? I've been waiting for 20 minutes and it's stuck at
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Thanks.

You are in Recovery mode. To flash the rom with Odin you need to be in Download mode.

The easiest way for me was to start with the battery out, then plug in the usb and hold down both volume buttons and then put the battery back in. Not sure if this is necessary but the way your describing sounds like it puts you in recovery mode. Does the usb cable being in automatically put you in download mode? (at work or I would test this)

Whatever way gets you in there
If the usb cable is plugged in first, it sets the phone into a battery charge mode (not sure if that's what it is called exactly) and does not allow you to go into download mode if you try pressing vol up and down.

Thats the quickest way to get into download mode.
I either do it that way and pull the battery out first or when the phone is off I'll hold the volume up and down and then plug in the usb cable. Either way works best with me.
I know the OP does not list this but I use this quick and easy way with my phone plugged in and turned on.
open command prompt (windows key + r, then type cmd)
cd C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools (C drive is where my sdk folder is)
adb reboot download
The phone will reboot and go right into download mode. never have to pull battery or push multiple buttons. Hope I dont confuse anyone

[Q] HELP! I think I bricked my Sidekick 4g

I recently started looking into rooting my phone and was trying to use Odin to flash Clockwork Recovery mod into my Sidekick 4g. In the middle of downloading the program shut down. I unpluged the phone from the computer and got a black screen with an image of phone+!+computer. So i rebooted into download mode, opened odin, and plugged the phone into the computer. Clicked start and it reset. Then it went into a reboot loop, alternating between the boot up logo and a white screen with 2 blue lines. I thought i could reset it again with odin so i did, and now i have a black screen that only has the back light on if i press the power key or plug it in the computer via usb. Now odin wont even recognize my device. Neither would adb devices. If i hold volume down and power key for a few seconds the back light flashes on and off once then completely off. Can anyone please Help?

it sounds like there is a chance your device is bricked beyond repair i did that to mine by flashing the wrong stuff with Odin, and i had no choice but to get a new one. all i could get was a slight backlighting when pressing buttons, no DL mode, no boot logo, nothing.
btw, Odin isn't used to root the phone or to install Clockwork Recovery(at least as far as i know). Odin is a tool to use if something goes wrong somewhere and you need to restore your phone from a soft brick.
also, just so you know, this post should go in the General section of this forum.
try an alternate way to go into download mode:
take the battery out
connect the phone via usb to the computer
while pressing vol down + power + trackpad insert the battery
try it a couple of times, if it doesn't work, sorry

I vouch for the effectiveness of this method of getting into recovery. Saved me last night
Also if you can get it into download mode you can most likely recover it. Follow the instructions below:

I think this goes in the general section bro.
had VERY similar issues 2x.
I had to repartition with Odin, then drop the image.
The image drop didn't work, but after I reparted, (repart failed at the end, but it was good enough to redrop the image, after restarting the whole thing over again) all was good.
Just odin in that screen it will work pull the battery and plug ur phone in connected to the computer and odin regular its not brick I had this happen to me twice and twice I odined back to stock. Make sure all three boxes are checked

My phone also showed the "phone - ! - PC" icon so I thought it was done for as well. Between these two threads, specifically tweeklulz post above, I was able to recover my phone!
Prior to starting the ODIN process,power on your Sidekick to that wretched brick screen. From there plug your phone to your phone via USB then immediately remove the battery. That horrible brick screen will still be there, but just run the ODIN process anyway.
Thank you all for your input! This saved my phone and I am a 9million% NOOB to developing and mods. LOL

We do have UnBrickable Mod on this device now. You just remove a resistor, create a bridge and then use the Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector to upload Download Mode to the device any time you want.. It takes a bit of skill, but hey.. Nothing to have a heart attack about.

[Q] Automatic phone restart if plug in charger or usb cable

I have flashed couple of rom, when problem started can't say exactly. The problem is if i shut down mobile and plug in charger or usb cable it automatically make it Switch on. is this normal?
I did Heimdall one click back to stock and this problem goes. So now before going to any custom flash can any one guide me if this is normal.
step i would follow after this is:
1. back to stock by Heimdall one click jar
2. put phone in download mode by "adb reboot download " as i have problem making it into download mode i tried all suggested combo but nothing works for me.
3. flashed the Entropy's dd kernal again by Heimdall one click solution.
4. no copy the custom rom zip in sd card
5 boot to recovery , do the cleaning, install zip .
It shouldn't completely turn on, however it should only turn on to where it displays and confirms that the battery is charging and then shut-off automatically seconds later. To get into Download Mode:
1. Turn off your phone and pull out the battery for about 10-15 seconds.
2. Just put the battery back and don’t turn it on.
3. Hold both Up+Down Volume keys at the same time simultaneously plug in the USB Cable.
4. After about 2-3 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
Heimdall or Odin should now recognize and pick up your device and go from there of to a fresh start.

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?

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.

Note 10.1 N8000 Won't start

Hello,
I tried to update my note 10.1 gt-8000 today using the instructions from droid opinion website. I did not remove any partition or stuff. Just uploaded the rom Image in AP, selected auto reboot and F reset time and this i. but when the phone went to restart, it wont start again. Its been 30 minutes and phone is still off. I press the power button, volume + power up or down but nothing happens. Is my tablet hard bricked? Any idea whats wrong with it? Please help me
Edit: I just noticed when I also put it on the charge, the screen doesnt turn on to show charging. So it doesnt even charge, the odin console had 1 pass and 0 fail. Any idea what went wrong?
Go back to Droid opinion they are responsible .
Reread and double check instructions and correct firmware for your phone .
My guess is wrong firmware what was the original firmware .

Thanks for your reply. So it means its hard bricked? When i plug in the charger it dont even show charging sign. Any way to fix it?
Does Odin work? If it works, try to re-flash your device according to the instructions. Otherwise, install the stock firmware.

Sure, I can help you.
What OS do you have? Try to install Fastboot and ADB tools. After that, enter in download mode (not recovery!) and connect your device with computer.
ADB Devices will test the connection.
Next use Fastboot to flash.
If you have questions, pleask ask them. It will protect you from wrong actions.

The problem is i cannot enter download or recovery mode. I press the power plus volume down button and nothing happens. Even when i plug in the charger nothing is shown on the screen.
power on or no power?

I got mine working by opening the back cover (check instruction from Youtube)
unplug the power plug (the black small block in the middle with Red/Blue/Black colour cables), leave it for few minutes, plug it black.
This will only work if you have the "Samsung Note 10.1 logo" flashing in loop on screen all the time.
Good luck
