Try a different USB port, different cable, and drivers. If none of that works try a different computer
If download mode works you should be able to get it back

I've gotten to the point, after letting it charge for awhile, where i can now get back into recovery mode and i can get to the AT&T logo.
Any Idea of what i should do next?

Flash Odin....
You can try a factory reset but I recommend Odin. Follow what I said before

+1. Make sure you have the proper USB drivers installed. An Odin flash is your best bet.

[Q][I9000]Bootloop, Home button is broken, How to flash new ROM?

Hello,
I have I rare problem. I tried to flash a new ROM and it failed, so now the phone is stuck on the boot image. Ok, usualy I would have solved this with CMW 3 button recovery combination, but my phones Home button is broken so I cannot acces it, but I made the USB Jig and can acces download mode.
My question is how do I unbrick my phone?
What I tried: Using SDK tools to reboot the phone in recovery with ADB, no succes. Sdk doesnt see my device.
Something called Fastboot, but from what I read Samsung doesn't have such a feature for the phone to enable.
Thank you.
I had the same problem a couple of time ago, but all 3 buttons were defect (see my signature ).
What I always did:
when you can get in download mode then restock via odin and phone will boot again.
Here is slappys rescue kit what i always use when i have to restock.
Unzip it and flash the Rom via Odin. There is also a txt file with a guide included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29114573&postcount=2
With this flashed rom you will have in the power down menue the funktion: back to recovery or back to download. So first time go back to download mode or use usb jig again and then flash the included root kernel.
Then flash the rom of your choice.
If you would go to jelly bean i would recommend to use Mackays 1.3.0. first. Because you have to flash JB twice or even 3 times and after the first flash of this Mackay it goes automatically back in recovery mode.
Link to older Mackay Roms:
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Samsung/Galaxy+S/MackayROM/JB41/old
After flashing this you could go to google play and download an app for softkeys for example softkeys for root users.
After that and if you want or like you could flash also a JB rom with included virtual softkeys, like for example SLIM. You have to enable the navigation bar in settings but after that you can use your phone quite normal.
Hope this helps and wish you a good success!

Solved it. I was using the USB port in front of the Desktop unit and i guess it doesn't have enough voltage. Worked when i switched to the back USB port. Thanks a lot man!! You saved my phone !

[Q] I9001 recovery problem

Hello,
My friend gave me a phone to wipe.
The problem is:
The Pattern is locked due to many attempts. (To many attempts for pattern)
He did try to flash CWM to it but now recovery is not working at all.
At this point he gave the phone to me.
I flashed fresh XEN firmware to the I9001 and the stock recovery is showing up again. But it still isn't working. It says in the bottom of the screen >>> status = 0 <<<
I can scroll through the recovery but even the reboot phone option doesnt work.
How can I perform an full wipe so that the phone doesn't ask for email/password?
I tried SPH-D710.ODIN_WIPE_CACHE_DATA.exe but that does nothing.

And then nothing, After 60 minutes it still hangs here.
Does anybody have some idead how i can wipe it via Odin or ADB?
Please, tell me what XEN firmware is, I've never read it somewhere (in connection to android)?!
Did you find out your I9001 is a special hardware release?
Did you try to flash a custom recovery like ClockWorkMode (CWM) Recovery or TWRP?
Do you want to keep this phone stock?
Greetings

Hello,
Now the odin is not even recognising the device, Before it couldnt perforn the NAND write.
Start fresh... Remove battery and let the phone rest for couple of minutes.. Then try again.. Just go ahead and flash a stock rom. And check where it fails.

Where did you download this file from? SAMmobile?
Try redownloading the file, it may be corrupted during download.

Hello. I can say that the file isnt corrupt because I have flash that ROM a numerous time before. But until the last time when I was flashing custom rom night owl lollypop version, it stuck in boot loop and then when I tried to flash that , it dint work. Now I cant even go to recovery mode.

As the log say "<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.." and not move ahead.. there is some connection problem with Phone and PC... Could be a driver problem.. or Kies might be running in the background...
There is no writing of data what so ever.
I tried in another laptop and it worked. My mobile was dead for weeks and its back to life. But I had samsung driver. I dint have Kies installed. dont know was the problem in connection. Anyways thanks to nokiamodeln91 and AutumQueen92 :good:

From my experience, even though you've said " good cable" make sure it's in there. Or when you set the phone down, make sure it's connected. My two cents.

Are you using G925A files or G920A files if it's a G925A you're using wrong tar .
You've posted in the G925A thread so I'm assuming you're use the Edge variant. Find the G925A tar and flash the four files you'll be fine. Use Odin 10.6

Phone bricked, flashing with Odin doesn't work

Hello!
I tried to flash the 4.4.4 Lineage OS rom. While returning to stock, something went wrong with Odin 1.82, so I pulled the usb plug. Now my phone is bricked, I only can enter download mode.
I downloaded a stock JVT rom (europe here), but Odin just won't work properly. These are the messages that I get:

It seems like there is a problem with the connection? I already removed the battery and tried another USB port... ADB doesn't list any devices
So I seem to need some help any solutions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tobsen, are you sure you're into Download Mode? I mean, the displays what it normally would?
Because if you're not you may try again with an USB jig.
Bricked phone, Odin and staple
Hi,
recently my daughter got as a present from some cousin Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 but it was locked with foreign Phone company and Android version was 2.2 . I wanted to flesh it first on 2.3.4 because I read somewhere that it's maximum for this phone. I used Odin but addressed wrong file for PDA and it started to write
>Enter CS for MD5
<Leave CS
(this was several times ) after that
>File analysis
and nothing else.
It bricked .
I only could start download mode.
I tried lot of things , saw that somebody use some 'Jig' from e-bay, but I was not prepared to wait for month or more , then I saw some gay is soldering 4 resistors of 100 k in line, I didn't have it by hand (it was late night ) but I tried something what was on my desk. I use one office staple , unwind it , made something like U shape with ends on maybe 4 mm space and put in mini USB , moved it left - right not more then part of one second . After that screen become black. I took battery out than in and enter in download mode. After that Odin did his job with success and phone is now alive. Maybe I was lucky bat it worked.
regards
