My phone is stuck in Odin Mode and it gives a message that says that firmware upgrade encountered a problem and to connect it to Kies, I have tried holding the volume buttons at the same time as the power button to go into recovery mode but it doesn't work, it shows the samsung logo for less than a second and goes back to Odin Mode. I have also tried connecting it to Kies but it never finished connecting to Kies. any idea on how to get to recovery mode or get passed that screen?? or do anything with my phone.... lol
my best suggestion would be to start by using to flash back to gb instead up lets take a small step down and start fresh inside the development forum im quite positive you can the ucle2 ics odin flash yes i said ucle2 leak the reason why would be to get back to at minimal any stock version and ucle2 is my goto stock... if now you can find in vincoms stickie the gb rom use odin mode like you slave and get this back to stock

you can try the method in post b4 this one or flash cwm tar through odin, howto is in my sig
Also...
If you have a USB plugged in when you try recovery mode, it will go into download mode.
Make sure you unplug your phone from your computer when you hold the volume rockers and power button...

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

i tried odin, and once i click start, the phone doesnt even show download mode anymore, and it wont boot.
When i press power, dimmed lights come up on the background and when i connect it with usb, same thing..
Look back at the Odin threads again. I doubt your phone is (permanently) bricked.

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.

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.

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...).

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.

You need to reflash cwm with Odin the stock recovery overwrites cwm when your on the stock ROM

After you Odin CWM, you need to immediately boot into CWM and flash a non-stock kernel. Stock kernels will overwrite CWM with stock recovery if they boot into the OS.
When you Odin cwm make shire autorestart is not checked. Odin cwm unplug phone take battery out. Put battery back in boot directly to cwm by pressing home, Vol up and power. Hold until Samsung logo comes up the second time then let go. Now you're in the flashes cwm go install superuser, then reboot . Install "root explorer" , sum privileges should b allowed , go to "system" folder find "recovery.sh" file, it has a yellow star. Click on the "Mount R/W" Press and hold on the recovery file till menu pops up, go to "permissions" uncheck all the boxes save and exit. Shut down phone, go to download mode with Odin flash cwm again make shire autorestart is not checked , unplug take bat out. Put bat back startup. You should be able to go to cwm any time now.
This is from one of the posts I read and memorized. Thanks go to whoever figured it out.

Power the phone down completely. Pull the battery. Hold volume down while you plug in the USB cable. When it comes up in download mode, put battery back in.
This instruction, step 5.
What I do to get my download screen is : bat out , vol down, power then plug in cable (count) 1 and release power but hold vol down until download mode pops up. Then put battery in. That's the only way it works for me. Some ppl hold both buttons until download mode pops up, that don't work for me. Others can get it by pressing buttons n piping in battery and then connecting cable. Try some of these. I figured out my just by chance my finger slipped cause most can do it by pressing both buttons holding and plugging in. If I do it that way my phone either reboots or nothing happens.

Don't use the power button at all to get into download mode. Just remove the battery, hold down volume down, and plug the USB cable in. It'll automatically power on. Then you should put the battery back in to help ensure a better chance at a clean flash.
Like what the title says, I was in the midst of flashing my phone via Heimdall but one of the updates read "fail" and the program was frozen. Stupidly, I unplugged my phone from the usb cable and turned off the phone. I tried to reboot it again but it isn't turning on. Did I f*ck up my phone for good or is there ANY way I can save it? I really would appreciate any help.
I doubt your phone is bricked...try putting it back in download mode and run heimdall again
Download mode:
Pull battery
Put battery back in
Hold both volume buttons
Connect USB storage while holding volumes
If anything pops up your in download mode...unless its a Samsung logo...if you see that you didn't do it right...

As MG said i aslo doubt that ur phone is hard bricked if it was not stuck at the BL flash. Keep tryin to put ur phone in DL mode.
in some rare cases the actual jpg file for download mode gets corrupt but the bootloader is still capable of entering download mode. have heimdall open with the stock rom setup to flash and see if it recognizes a connection, if it does then just flash
Long story short, the phone was updating to the latest OTA update and I believe it restarted suddenly somewhere during the update. Now it is stuck in this never ending boot loop. Turn on the phone and it tries to go into recovery boot, then shows the android guy and fails.
I have tried booting into recovery mode but it still goes to the android guy saying it is "Installing system update" then fails. I downloaded Kies and Odin but neither recognize that the phone is even there.
Is there anything else I can try or is this phone brain dead?
Try going into download mode and flashing whatever firmware you're on. Instead of holding up,home key and power you hold down, home key and power. Then hook phone up to computer and, using odin, reflash your firmware.
