[Q] Issues with Download Mode - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys n gals really hoping for some help.
I was in the process of rooting one of my phones(Samsung Galaxy S vibrant) Done it many times on this phone plus my note and my tab2. I soft bricked the phone was able to get it into download mode instal an original 2.3 firmware to the phone via Odin. Now it wont go passed the Galaxy S Screen I cant get into download mode and it wont read the SD card(which has an ICS firmware on it for install) Any ideas on how I can get this back to even manufacturer steps?

When you enable download mode, android with a shovel doesn't appear, does it? That's doesn't metter. Just run Odin and connect smartphone to the computer. If ID:COM has appeared, download mode is active.

[Q] Help needed for Black screen of death

Hi Guys,
I made a really terrible mistake. I did not set my international version Galaxy S to USB debugging mode before attempting to flash Voodoo lag fix with Odin. Now all I see when I turn on my phone is the phone-!-pc message. I can still get to download mode but no luck getting into recovery mode. Odin seems to be able to detect my phone when I set it to download mode and connect it to my PC. Is there anything I can do to save my phone?
Any help would be appreciate.
Ok. I managed to save my phone. Turns out I could still re-flash an official firmware. /Close Thread

Seeing as you can't get into download mode you're going to need to build a jig. Details are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Once in download mode you need to flash a full firmware in odin (eg JM8)

[Q] I9000 Gingerbread 2.3.3 root gone south, plz help

Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?

now another problem comes in phone is not going into download mode?
could that b cause of battery gone down to less then 20%?
Your battery should be at least 50% before flashing.
i m not sure at the moment it was 90% before. my phone was going into download mode but i did 1click downloader and instaler at&t firmware and now its not going into download mode ??
You could try this nbkhan : Download Android sdk (google it as i cant post external links in forum yet)
Extract this at the loacation c:\AndroidSDK
Connect phone to PC and Install Drivers
now go to Start > RUN > type cmd
go to this directrory " c:\AndroidSDK\tools "
now type " adb reboot download "
Your phone will reboot and will go into bootmode.
You could also consider building or purchasing a usb jig(google it)
pc does not recognize my phone.
Were you were flashing an ics rom? if so you need nexus drivers installed on your comp which can be found here : w w w.multiupload.co.uk/BUCFT8M42N

You could try the one click unbrick from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 , if that does not work you will have to buy/make a usb jig to force download mode.
Jigs are well worth the money, just a couple of £/$ and save your phone.

Mini can't start

Hi,
I have a big problem. I made a stupid mistake and flashed an original Gingerbread firmware directly over Froyo.
Now my Phone isn't able to start, the only thing tha happens is, that the backround light turns on. I am not able to reach the download mode and my pc can't detect the phone.
Could anyone help me?

Today i bought a USB-JIG, but I can't reach the bootloader with it.
you cannot reach bootloader mode with jig and try going into download mode by pressing power+home+volume down button
and gingerbread firmware is always flashed over froyo
i think you have used the firmware which is without bootloader and thats why you are getting black screen
just try to flash a four package firmware
But my pc doesn't detect the phone and i can't reach the download mode with the three buttons, i always get a black screen
try to search for samsung usb drivers and install them. after, recover by odin.
try to put off the battery , sim card and microSD , wait for 1-2 minutes
after that , put back battery only
try to enter download mode
*sorry for my bad english*

Ok... first download full firmware from sammobile or in yagyagaire's blog. Next you need to remove sim, sd card and battery from your phone. Now hold the three buttons which let you go in download mode. While holding those buttons insert the battery and you will most probably be in download mode. Then flash the downloaded firmware via Odin and then :victory:

guys why discussing on a 1 month old thread
Guessing they just want some closure.
