hi all
i was flashing xxkpe(latona pit) with odin i press start when i connect my phone and i wait for 2 minutes and it says fail what to do ?
Does ur phone boot..
you must be in download mode. turn off phone, hold volume down + power button + home button and when you see color yellow says download mode then you can statrt flashing.
does the com turn yellow?? If not install kies for usb drivers .did it stop at setup connection?? If so it'shardware problem...try another computer/another usb port

yeah this worked thanks mate <3 i removed the battery for about 4 minutes and than it worked. My samsung Kies wasnt closed i think this could be the problem to, i closed it and it worked hmm the point is that is working, thanks all.
I flashed the stable CM10 and everything was ok.
Then I flashed 4.2 gapps and set some alarms.
Now the phone is in a boot loop so I try to return it to stock with Odin and when I get to download mode I click Vol Up to get in and I see Andy the Android for a split second before I get a sort of Blue Screen.
I'm wondering if I broke download mode somehow. Is there a fix for this?
I'm shoving the battery in, pressing the two volume keys, letting go when I see the download screen, hitting Vol Up to accept, then the phone reboots as Andy pops up.
Note: even when I don't accept download mode the screen will go blue and restart the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have the Oden process right, where you don't plug the usb cable in until a certain point in the process. Can't remember... Been a while since I used Oden.

Sounds like that might be the case make sure its not a stuck power button. Try using adb to push a recovery file to phone with cmd if all fails get a replacement

it could be the sticky power button issue, info on that in the ref sticky, if not the button, then hardware failure, u can try to remove battery for about ten mins then check to see if it is resolved
Umm... I've never had to press volume up to accept download mode... just sayin.

Oh and its not bricked, I'm pretty sure. I got this little dongle thing from Amazon last year for my vibrant, but it works for my skyrocket too, for like 2 dollars. (I guess u can make em also) You just plug it into your phone and it puts it in download mode. Very handy.

Well I don't think it's the power button because I don't think I could get to Download mode with the power button being pressed.
Here's a video of what's happening:
http://youtu.be/SY_dN7qN36w
That's a pretty guick sequence. So are you inserting the battery then hold down the buttons then inserting the cable.?
Maybe give the electrons a chance to flow into the circuits!

Yes. It had to be quick. If I do it slowly it starts the boot loop.
After talking to AT&T I'm getting a new battery. I really hope that's the problem, even though I don't think that's it.

If your phone starts to reboot you're doing something wrong. Download mode should last indefinitely. In fact you have to tell it to proceed to some other step. Re-read Vincom's instructions.
Edit : sounds to me that you are not holding down the volume buttons with the power button.

8. How To Put your device into Download Mode: (download mode is NOT the same as recovery mode)
a. Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
b. Remove the battery.
c. Reinsert the battery.
d. Press and keep down both Volume Up and Volume Down keys then insert the USB cable into your device. (On Rogers phones It's just Vol Down.) DO NOT RELEASE THE VOLUME BUTTONS UNTIL INSTRUCTED
e. When You see the screen warning you about installing a rom w/a yellow triangle RELEASE the volume key(s)
f. Now press and release the volume "up" key, you should now be at the Download Mode screen w/odin recognising your phone. -See Pics Below-.

It says not to touch the power button. Is the power button a part of this? In the video I didn't hold it.
As for the sticky power button, I really don't know. I clobbered it, I listened very carefully to it. The instructions to fix it were like "hit it hard and repeatedly" or something.
When do you think I should be hitting these buttons? before the vibrate, or after? Before the Samsung logo, or after? With power button, without?
Can you hear a"click" when you press the power button?... It's not very loud but definitely a click.

Well here's the thing lobster... On my phone if I replace the battery... Nothing happens... If I now press and hold the volume buttons with out inserting a cable... Nothing happens.
Yours must be stuck in the pressed state although you say it clicks when pushed.??? Don't suppose you have any contact cleaner? Maybe a tiny drop of rubbing alcohol?

So when you take out the battery and put it back in it doesn't try to turn itself on? If you're saying you can put the battery back in it and nothing happens, then I guess the button must be stuck.

Where would I put the rubbing alcohol? Would I need to take apart the chassis/case/housing? I imagine rubbing it on the power button wouldn't do anything.
BTW, sincerely, thanks for the help.
Edit: I bashed the phone, power button first, against the table while it was booting up and I saw my boot animation for a second. I thought it was fixed so I stopped bashing and it just rebooted again.
its 99% the power button, hearing it click is no indication thats its working as its an internal problem, theres 3 links to the problem in the "info" section in the "1 stop" sticky in my sig . taking it apart to get to the internal contact is one way to fix it, maybe the only way to fix it. if phone starts as soon as you put the battery in w/out touching any buttons then its a sticky/failed power button. warranty repair is also another solution
its 1% for a battery and/or battery contact problem
here are the links:

Mine is stuck on the Downloading screen, shows it has progressed all the way. No button pressing combination will change anything. .Not good at all. Used Odin to flash the the same CWM recovery everybody else is using. Looks bad here. I have rooted countless Android devices and this is my first fail. Can somebody give me any advice? I just wrecked my wife's birthday gift...
Hold down the power button to restart it.
No dice. Tried that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
If power button for 15 seconds doesn't work, try volume up (in landscape right side of volume button) + power button for 10 seconds.
Held power button down for two minutes and it woke up. Redownloaded custom recovery and flashed with Odin third time. Still get stock Android recovery. Done trying. Thanks for helping though.

if you are still getting the stock recovery 3e follow these steps :
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable bla bla bla " ( can`t remember the exact words ) , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
Then you can install root through CWM.
Please do not open multiple threads with the same topic you already have one with the same topic in Q&A Mod will close this one.
i'm not sure what happened, but today my phone just turned off and now wont boot. everything on the phone is stock (ICS update) and i have no never messed with flashing any roms. what happens is the phone turns on, gets to the start screen, then crashes. after crashing it will vibrate continuously until i remove the battery. i have tried to enter recovery and download mode but the phone just crashes and i never see the screens..what can i do?
Buy a USB jig. Might work, its a pain to enter recovery/download .

thanks, i wasn't sure what this was, but after a bit of Google searching it seems something ill definitely try. everything seems to say that the phone should be completely powered down to use the jig though. will it be a problem that i dont seem to be able to get my phone to that point? the second i put my battery in the phone attempts to turn on, and after it crashes it will just vibrate non stop.

You can boot into recovery but it is annoying. If you have adb installed you can write:
Adb reboot download or adb reboot recovery really fast.
If not a jig may be the only option.

Okay that's nice to know... To enter download mode your phone has to be connected to your pc via usb cable, to enter download mode what you do Is hold the power button, volume up, and volume down button while the phone is off, once it powers on and you see the Samsung logo release the power button but continue holding the volume up, and volume down buttons this will put the device in download mode, have you ever used Odin before?

Now you can do only one if your binary counter is 0 then definitely give it in the service center.....

Well i think you should resort with a usb jig if else fails. If that doesn't work service centre is the answer. Using usb jig will get yourphone into download mode. So you can flash stock kernel and rom through odin.
I got my phone bricked the same way @op did. It's in service center now.

Remove the battery.
Connect the USB to the phone.
Then try to boot in download mode..
If successful then insert the battery without removing the USB .
And then flash the stock kernel or stock ROM as per ur choice.
