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.

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.

when I try to flash to recovery it says:
RST_STAT = 0x1

PMIC_IRQ2 = 0X0
PMIC_IRQ3 = 0X1
PMIC_IRQ4 = 0X0
PMIC_STATUS1= 0Xc0

Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))

Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.
Hello XDA !
I have a Tab 2 P3100, bricked with Odin. I was using a flash file that I've used many times before on the same laptop, with the same cable, and the same tablet.
Something went wrong and Odin displayed an error saying there's no PIT partition .
I've tried to use different PCs and cables, still not working.
I'm stuck now at the emergency recovery page, and when connected to Kies it just hangs on "Connecting...". The device does charge alright but I cannot turn it off (it reboots instead of shutting down when I long press the power button).
I think it might be going into download mode when I hold power button + vol down, but I'm not sure as it gives me a blank black screen and gets a bit hot on the left upper corner.
Any Ideas ?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I managed to find "loose" solder points on the USB port and replaced the whole port altogether, What I'm facing now is that after I flash the device with official stock ROM, Odin3 seems to finish the work and flash the whole ROM to the device, but when I try to reboot the device it's still stuck on emergency recovery screen.
Hey everyone,
Samsung Galaxy s5
Verizon
Fully stock as of October 10th 2015 (no sure the exact android operating system)
Not rooted or modified in any way
My wife's phone decided to kill itself yesterday. The phone worked fine in the morning then all of a sudden it stopped working. When you try to start the phone it will vibrate and nothing on screen shows up. After about 57 seconds (yes I timed it), the phone quickly displays:
ODIN: Flash read failure
ERROR: There is no pit binary
The phone then goes into a boot loop and repeats this process.
She did not approve any updates or anything, it just happened. I am assuming an app updated itself and the app was majorly corrupted and messed with the kernel?
I have tried the variety of reset options (hold power+Volume up+home screen) and it does nothing. Removing the battery and reinserting it does nothing as well. I tried to boot without the SD card and we get the same results. I can't get the phone into the menu to select recovery or anything.
When I plug the phone into my computer nothing happens. The computer does not recognize it and the phone does not respond. The phone does charge the battery, how do I know? I as well have a galaxy s5 but mine is on ATT. We swapped batteries and we could see that her phone was charging the battery.
I plugged my phone into my computer and it recognizes immediately. I can get into my phone and the SD card from the computer so that rules out the computer as a problem.
Is this hard or soft bricked?
Will a USB Jig force it to give me the download screen or recovery mode or is this thing dead?
Is there a way I can boot from the SD card even though I cant get into the recovery screen?

Sorry for the late response.
It's a strange issue. If you really have changed/flashed/updated nothing, you should first claim warranty (if still available) and send it for repair to the shop/Verzion/Samsung support.
If no warranty, then you may register on xda and ask in the Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum ...
... but if you can boot neither into download mode (Hold Volume DOWN + HOME + POWER) nor into recovery mode (Hold Volume UP + HOME + POWER), it sounds like a hard-brick.
It could also be a screen issue ... but most likely nothing you can fix yourself ... without additional hardware and/or help.
So I recommend to search for a mobile repair/support shop.
Good luck !
I was trying to flash my s21+ g996b with Odin and it failed at the beginning so I restarted the phone but it turned off after showing the Samsung logo the same thing happens if I try to go to recovery mode or safe mode thus I can't access them.
When I try plugging in the phone to my PC (or just charging with the adapter) it just keeps showing the logo like before and restarting shortly after and I can't stop it from looping.
Is there something I can do to stop the looping or go to recovery mode ?
I already have backed up my data, please let me now if there is anything I can do even if it means reset factory, etc.
So I got into download mode by pressing and holding vol up + vol down and then connecting the phone to the P.C. after. I did finally install the firmware, and all is good now.
Also, there are a bunch of different ways other people tried here, which I thought might help.
P.S. the original problem that led to broken firmware was a faulty cable.
