if you're getting that, quit and unplug the phone, take out the battery so it's completely dead (and take out the sim card while you're at it)
then put back just the battery and put the phone into download mode (volume down + power)
then run odin and THEN plug in the phone. you have to do it in the right order otherwise it gets stuck on file analysis. go figure.

ok i did that..now i'm stuck. i have a computer and phone icon with a yellow sign in between. nothing happens. did i just brick my phone?? HELP (((

This should be pinned!
Thanks for this!

No.
If you had a messed up original Captivate install, do this:
Unplug
Remove Battery
Reinstall Battery
Hold the DOWN volume button, THEN the power button.
Should go right into Download mode
Open the Odin flasher
Plug USB in
Wait for the connection.
If you're trying to recover from having Vibrant firmware installed, it's the same, but you need to hold the VOLUME UP button instead of DOWN.

i did exactly what u said, remove battery completely, insert battery, hold down first, then press power until it powers up. i get the same issue. a black screen with a graphic that looks like this:
(phone graphic)- - - yellow sign with "!" mark - - - (computer graphic)

Dear OP,
I f*%!kin love you.
Love,

I had the same exact issue while trying to flash the firmware. What you need to do is make sure your phone is off. Open Odin. Attach the phone to your PC. Hold down and press power and it will boot into downloading mode. ODIN MUST BE OPEN!
As long as its attached to the PC and Odin is open it will go into downloading mode, not the picture that you are seeing.

ugh im tired of bricking my vibrant
so i have obsidian v2 and I installed OCLF 2.2+ and now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen. i only had 3 apps on my SD card and i moved those over to the phone storage.. then i went ahead and did the lagfix... it said it was done successfully and then restarted but now i'm stuck at the vibrant screen
did i do something wrong?? (obviously i did but what? lol)

Do you know how to use odin if not you should start reading up on it. To get into download mode open odin, now take your battery out of your phone then put it back in, hold the volume up and down button, now plug in your usb cord that should be plugged into your pc you should see download mode now fix your phone with odin now I let go of your hand
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I dont think there is a working LagFix for Obs.V2, odin back to stock and start over. This time dont try to lagfix.

yeah i was hoping not to have to do that (again) lol

Download Mode after phone ! PC symbol
odin failed and now i have the phone---!----pc icon.. i've tried all the methods of trying to get into download mode but nothing happens.
i'm pretty sure i don't have the hardware locked version because i got the phone prior to launch
nevermind!
I did the following:
1. take out the battery, sim and microSD
2. put battery in
3. ONLY hold vol down & power
4. plug in the USB and voila...download mode!
every method I read suggested using vol up+vol down.. none of those worked for me

Don't worry..read on

I got the same scary looking screen last weekend too but be patient!
FIRST: MAKE SURE you have the proper android driver installed in the PC!
SECOND: open control panel>device manager, if you see the T959 or something like android device under USB sub menu then you are good to go.
Then continue repeating what you had done: keep vol up&down after battery in, USB cable in, download screen on, release vols, either open Odin app before or after.
LAST: BE BRAVE! I almost gave up after going to three different local stores and none knew what to do

Did I Brick It? $20 Reward

Moving up from an Eris to the Fascinate. Rooted the phone successfully via reboot, SuperUser Icon.
Went to install Clockworkmod, put phone in Download mode, ran Odin said failed first try so I tried it again, didn't attempt to install clockwork phone rebooted and immediately went to the phone, triangle pc icon (bad right).
So I can't get the phone back into download mode. I can only get recover via battery pull, plug in usb cable, power on phone and then hold up volume and power button and I'll get to recovery. Reboot in recovery does nothing, update.zip comes up with an error and factory reset and clear cache do nothing. PC will not recognize phone via USB so I don't know what to do...
$20 Paypal to the first poster that can get me back on track. Detailed instructions/ideas please.
TIA

Have you tried the same steps that you use to get into recovery, but with the down volume button instead?
Sent from my SCH-I500 with Dirrk's LV 1250 voodoo lagfix installed.

Yes, it goes from the battery charging Icon (once I first plug it into the usb and power on).
If I hold up volume and power it goes to recovery.
If i hold down volume and power it goes to phone, triangle, pc icons.

Hokay.
Pull your battery and usb cable.
Leave your battery out.
Hold DOWN VOLUME and plug in usb cable, while odin is running in background.
Welcome to download mode.
Insert battery.
Continue with Odin madness.

OK, that worked, now my PC is recognizing the device a serial item and it's not coming up in Odin?

re-open odin.

Victory!!!!

I had this problem before. Odin didnt want to do its job if I put the phone in download mode with the data cable plugged in.
You could try unplugging the data cable.
Pull the battery.
Put the battery back in.
Hold volume down and do a short press of power maybe like 1 second long.
wait till it goes into download mode.
Open Odin.
Plug in phone.
That should work. It would fail every time for me if I didnt do those steps.
Hope it helps!

Flashing JL4 Help Needed

I must be doing something wrong here.
I have Odin 3 1.70.
I have the .tar file JJL4 thread in the development forum.
Samsung drivers are installed.
I take out the battery, then put it back in, then hold vol+/vol- and hit power and I'm in system recovery screen.
The last entry on the phone says installing muti-CSC.
I then connect the phone to the PC and it recognizes something on Com3. I then load the tar file in the pda section of ODIN. I'm not loading the PIT file.
When I click start, odin says file analysis, then setupconnection, then nothing else happens after that.
I don't need the .pit file, right? If I use the .pit file, does that erase the programs and data that I had stored on the phone?
Help?

I had a similar problem using the same version of Odin. Then I flashed it again using Odin 1.30 and it worked fine.

You need to get your phone in Download Mode, not Recovery. If you see a yellow Android with a shovel, you're in Download Mode. Check out the stickies and the Vibrant Bible.

Well, all of the instructions say to hold vol+/vol- and then power. When I do that it takes me into the recovery screen.
How do I get it into the download screen then?

I have never seen this posted here or anywhere but this is how I get into download EVERY time. I also don't go into every post though lol.
With the phone off hold the volume buttons down THEN plug in the usb to the phone it will go straight to download mode. USB needs to already be plugged into PC too if that wasn't obvious.
I think the way it's actually posted though is Volume +, Home button, and Power not both volumes. I have never gotten it to work that way and I stumbled onto the above way by accident.

Wow, you think that would be in the guides somewhere.
Phone off, holding both vol+/vol- and then plugging usb cable into the phone put my in downloading mode.
Was I doing something completely wrong before? Why wasn't it going into download mode?
Thank you much!
Flashing now, fingers crossed.

Turn off your phone, plug your phone in and when you see the green charging. Hold the. Volume up and
Down keys and the power key until you see the download mode.

Ok, so ODIN succeeded. It rebooted and got hung at the S.
I went into recovery mode, cleared the cache and rebooted again and I'm still stuck at the S?
What now?!
EDIT: Went into recovery and cleared cache again and I'm back up now.

great news! now you know how to odin. but majority of the time you will have to use a back up like titanium backup or nandroid from cwm to restore your apps and stuff. when using t-backup make sure not to select missing apps plus system data cause that can cause some force closes!

Z4 mod isn't working for me on this. Should it be?
What else will root this version?

HELP: Cannot get back into Download Mode...Truly Bricked??

I'm pretty sure I just bricked my **@#*& phone trying to Flash the Semaphore 1.6.0Bm kernel
It failed the first time around when I tried to flash it via Odin.
So I took the battery out like I usually do then went to put it back into download mode... To my surprise I cannot get into download or recovery mode anymore.
I've tried all button methods and none worked. I can't get past the screen that has the cell --- computer screen.. Looks like I may need a jig now...?
Any other ideas that I might be able to try?
Thanks.

What happens when you three finger boot and just keep holding it? Same screen you have now?

You mean holding the Vol up & down, Home and power button?
Same thing.
I've left the battery out for over 20 minutes, tried it while plugged into the computer, the adapter and not plugged in at all.. Still nothing.
This sucks..

if the phone doesn't do anything at all you can probably take it in to your service center and tell them it wont turn on but it didn't get wet or anything... ubless they have some magical way to get it into download then they'll replace it if you're under warranty.

Thanks for your responses.
I tried the OneClick.jar heimdall method but it seems to not recognize that the phone is even plugged in.
I did just purchase a USB jig off ebay, I'm guessing that this is my last option before having to bring it back to Telus for a replacement

I got this same problem when I installed CM7 on my T959d for the first time and Odin hung after clicking [Start]. Rebooted my phone and was greeted with a nice soft-brick screen. What a scare that was.
Here's what I did:
1. Take out the battery from the phone.
2. Plug the phone via USB to the PC (odin was open)
3. Hold down [VOL -] key
4. Hold down [POWER] key
I don't remember if the SGH-GTI9000 screen popped up, but if it does, wait for it to switch back to a black screen and then release just the [POWER] key, keeping [VOL -] pressed.
That put me back in Download Mode. Fired up ODIN again and the flash was successful this time around.
edit: Also, the Semaphore kernel i see in i9000 is for JVS roms. I'm not sure how that would affect darkys, since it's a JVR rom.
