I tried to flash STOCK ROM. In first attempt, Odin messaged failed. Then I again tried it. Now All thing goes smooth. But when phone is restarted, It doesn't installs anything. And opposite of it shows only samsung vibrant and goes black. I did this couple of time but always same thing.
Now, when I charge phone then it shows up big grey change sign(not green status inside) in loop. And If I press power button, phone shows samsung vibrant and goes black.
After unsuccessful attempt with ODIN, I tried with heimdall. But Heimdall always complains "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
Is my vibrant is Hard Bricked. Phone could be sent to download mode by removing battery, holding UP + Down, plugin USB and adding battery back. But Could not go to recovery mode.
Are you sure you used BOTH of the CORRECT files in Odin?
I approve this message.
Try the Tar and Pit from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319802

Hey I was hoping you guys could help me....
I had a corrupt mbr, so I put my phone in download mode, opened odin, ticked repartition, and loaded the pit file.
I flashed, and everything succeeded.
I pulled the battery to go back to download mode, and flash the rest of the rom, and now the phone is DEAD... like dead. Black screen. No boot screen. Nothing
I have tried vol down and battery in, vol up + down and power, basically every combination I can think of.
Any ideas?
Fixed:
Battery out for 5 mins, different usb port and try again. Back in download mode....
Hey everybody. I bought a fascinate from CL, which was soft-bricked, thinking I could fix it. Guy told me it froze updating to 2.3. It had been stock the whole time. Phone would not boot at all, no display, only four bottom buttons would light up on touch. No dl mode, recovery, or anything.
Odin somehow would still recognize the phone (comm port turns yellow) but fails during flashing of modem. I tried all stock .tar packages with atlas pit too. I tried to flash superclean with no modem, Odin said success, but phone did not do anything.
Now, I moved on to Heimdall to flash. I successfully flashed stock 2.2. When reboot command was sent, I heard the verizon startup sound, but still nothing on display. I waited a little until the phone vibrated when touchwiz force closed. Then, I locked/unlocked screen with power button and the display came back! Yay, I thought until I saw no internal storage, cannot install app, blah, blah.
Now, every time I turn off the phone, it returns to bricked state. Odin still fails, only Heimdall one click unbrick can successfully restart the phone, but again the display is off until it finishes loading and i can lock/unlock the screen.
Sooo, am I just stuck with no internal storage and cannot ever turn it off or does anyone have another suggestion? Thanks for hanging in there and reading all of this too.
So it seems that the phone powers on into dl mode, maybe? The screen is blank but Odin will see it when I plug it in the computer. This is no key combos or usb, just power button.
It also connects right back to Odin if the flash says success. The phone will reboot (I guess, no display), then Odin beeps and com port added again.
Sorry for double post, just thought that was weird.

follow the steps in section 5 of my guide in general section.
I was using your guide from the beginning. I tried both the Froyo and Gingerbread but Odin fails at the modem.bin every time.
Tried all usb ports, reinstalled drivers, rebooted computer...
The heimdall one click is the only thing that kind of works. Are there any other heimdall packages to try?
I was in the process of flashing back to GB in ODIN when it froze on flashing the Modem. Now the phone does nothing. Black screen. Plug USB in and computer doesn't know its there, Download mode will not work, nothing works.
Will a usb jig get it back into download mode so I can try flashing again or is this thing straight gone?
Thanks.
Yes, a USB jig will work.

Well I built one and tried it... No go. Nothing happened. Blank screen.
BTW the battery was fully charged right before it bricked so I know the battery isnt dead.
Was the phone on when you plugged it in?
I fixed it. Had to do the Unbrickable Mod. Was a pain in the butt getting the contact pads jumped. Once I got it I was able to get into download mode with the supplied programs and flash back to stock.
Nicely done.
Well I jinxed myself. I went to flash a new ROM and now im stuck on the Samsung Logo. Using the previous method does no good. Just stuck on Sammy logo. I found a different Heimdall One-Click now but it fails to flash Modem and now it vibrates 3 times when the sammy logo is shown.. over and over... so its in a boot loop I take it? If I 3 finger it it shows the stock recovery but I am unable to move up or down in recovery. It just stays on the reboot device selection.. im able to select that with the menu softkey thats it. The vol up and down and power buttons do not respond in recover. Updating the Modem is what started this whole mess for me. When I originally was flashing this the other day ODIN froze on flashing Modem, that put me in a hard brick state requiring me to do the Unbrickable Mod. I got it out of that with ED05 Heimdall Once-Click but since then I have not been able to get it out of this soft brick. My galaxy just wont let me win. :-(
Have you tried using One-Click Resurrector?

Ya, thats how I get it into Download Mode... its the Only way I can get it into download mode actually.
Both Odin and Heimdall are having trouble flashing the phone in windows. Both recognize the phone and connect but will not flash anything. They just sit at uploading PIT/Setting Partitions.
The ED05 Heimdall One-Click in linux flashes the phone with success's accross the board but the phone just sits there on the samsung logo... no vibrating, no recovery, and unable to charge the battery. If I use the EH03 Heimdall One-Click in linux it will flash all the way til it gets to flashing Modem but then fails and the phone is stuck in bootloop on the samsung logo vibrating 3 times over and over. It can also get into the stock recovery but im unable to move up or down the menu. Volume buttons have no effect. The phone will now charge though. Full battery as of right now.
I tried using Odin and Heimdall on another windows computer and they will not move past setting Partitons/uploading PIT either. SO I know there isnt a conflict with my computer.
I would like to try a manual flash in Heimdall Front-End in linux but I have no clue how to install it in Linux. I hate that command line stuff. I guess I have to figure it out though if Im going to try it.
OK, success!
I am now back to stock. I was able to run Heimdall in linux and flash CWM recovery. I was able to get into the recovery and make selections in recovery with the volume buttons. I selected reboot in download. I went to Odin and tried flashing a stock EH03 rom and it worked.... I think the reason I couldnt do that before was because i was holding the power button down to keep it in download mode since that is what is required when in download mode via the unbrickable mod.
The windows based programs must not have liked me holding that power button. Weird. Anyways its working.. now on to getting this thing updated.
im having a similar issue, i can get into cwm, can use download, but when i try using Odin for the stock eh03 it instantly says all threads completed succeeded 0 failed 0. when i reboot in cwm it just takes me to samsung logo wont go any further
Try heimdall.
Ya Heimdall in linux will surely give you a win.
Hello there,
I was trying to flash Rj's Custom Kernel to my Glaaxy Player 5 which I had just rooted using SuperOneClick.
I went into download mode (Power+Volume-down+Back button) on my phone, opened up Odin and selected the tar file I downloaded as a PDA, Only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were checked, nothing else was changed.
Clicked Start and the process appeared to go Successfully in Odin, when the phone was reset the Samsung Logo appeared for longer than usual, and my computer (which was still connected via USB) complained that the USB device was not recognised, then eventually the phone rebooted to the Samsung Logo and the process repeats itself ad infinitum.
The only thing I can do is get the phone back into Download Mode, and flash another rom, but I don't know what to try, can anyone please help me get my phone back to working order?
Cheers,
Blaiz0r.

Does your player have a mechanical home button because if it has a home button that is a light capacative and also if its capacitive you need entropeys kernel search on google
I wanted to root my i9100, so after a quick google search I came up with this file: http ://downloadandroidrom. com/file/GalaxyS2/recovery/CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar
I booted my phone into download mode, and installed the tar via odin. I ticked PDA and pressed "start", everything was fine.
When it finished, I tried to boot my phone but it just won't boot. It's stuck on the Galaxy SII logo with the yellow triangle, and after a few seconds the screen just goes completely black. The phone is on, I can tell because when I plug it in my PC does the USB sound, and automatically installs driver, but there's nothing on the screen.
I can't boot into download or recovery mode either, my phone is basically dead.
Is there any way to get it running?
