i have been doing alot of rom upgrade via clockwork and this is the first time my phone brick.
i tried the vol up, vol down and power button at the same time and it just brings me to "vibrant samsung" screen.
i also tried removing battery, hold vol up, vol down and insert battery, it goes to a screen where it says downloading. but didnt move for hours.....
and if i switch on normally, it just keep restarting on vibrant screen.
how do i solve this problem?
You have to use odin to flash back to stock....
That's what the download screen is for.
From that downloading mode screen you can odin it back to stock.

INSTRUCTIONS!
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
2.Get your phone into Download mode by holding vol down and power.
3.THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)
5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6.Hit "start"! be patient!
NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.
Finally we get some U.S love from samsung firmwares.
For those looking the Nandroid method it is in the post below but only recovers ,system, data, cache and datadata. Not your kernel/recovery or BASEBAND/RADIO (Modem.bin)

sorry, what i meant was the link to download odin.
all link by "justanothercrowd" is not working
Get in download mode like you have before then..
Use the Vibrant Toolkit and then click Flash to Stock and then press "Reboot into Download + Start ODIN" (ignore the "Check that USB debugging mode is enabled" because you're already in download mode), it'll open up ODIN and then follow the instructions for using ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509
From bay_wolf's post, some information about setup of odin,
When you select the PIT and PDA files, it should default to the installed location and if not then browse to where you installed AIO Vibrant Toolbox as the files are in there.

Note: there are instructions on how to use odin on the Flash To Stock screen. All the files you'll need will be downloaded with the download for the vibrant toolkit.
I've had this problem and freaked when i couldn't find a download to Odin, so I used the vibrant toolkit and it worked.

THANX ALOT GUYS!!!!!!!
now gonna start to update it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021383
just another quick question, which rom are you guys using? i came from bionix rom to the simply galaxy v3.0, it doesnt seem to b fast and smooth. any other recommended rom?
Try some EDT roms...beast...Malice, Trigger, or Bi Winning.
Flash back to stock too.
I use simply Galaxy with Crysis Sensation theme (TWiz 4.0 + tweaks) & DamianGTO Gold v2.0 kernel (not available on XDA). Then use an app called Blade buddy to set up all Stagefright tweaks (under advanced settings) and debug.sw.hf then menu > apply > save. Quadrant scores 2200+.
Trigger is really good (2.2) and there's a cool new theme called Vibrant HD for it.
Haven't tried CM7 but it looks cool, lots of themes with it.

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!

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)

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.

Ditto here. A new link would be great.
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?

ithink it understand my problem
plz quickly solve my problem
Go to download mode (volume down+home+power) and flash any stock rom with repartition checked. your phone should be okey
Remove battery and try again.
Can you get into download mode ??
If so flash a stock rom with pit 512 and repartitioning checked via Odin .
The rom you installed is Alpha that means not ready for Beta full of bugs use only if you know what you are doing .
ROM does not work is what the post says where it says must read .
jje
i do all
i use odin
i remove battery
im not have (software now ,2e recovery and 3button v up+home+power not working to go in recovery mode)
but my sgs when i connect it with pc usb plugin 3sec and restart
If you have any other ROM zip on your SD card then just flash speedmod kernel with odin to get CWM recovery back (see my signature for link)
If you don't have any other rom zip to update with CWM recovery then you will need to flash a stock rom with odin.
i try with odin but useless
if you have program anther odin give me plz
may be try the reset button, which in the middle of the cam and speaker, search in forum for details

I thought it would be a great idea to try flashing from to Froyo from Eclair anyway, and while it was going on, my pc disconnected the phone and bricked it COMPLETELY... I pulled the bat, tried all the 3 button combos (they worked before I flashed, I tested to make sure), and nothing worked...
I spent hours looking through the forums and the only advice I saw was to try a jig, before reading that for a 100% bricked phone it would not work...
What to do
- Take of the back case of your SGS, inbetween the camera and the speaker, you will see a little circular hole...
- Take a pin/pen and poke it...
- Hold the hole pressed in and press the 3 button combo for download/recovery mode
It should go into download mode and from there you can flash on a fresh firmware!
I saw NO mention of this hard reset's existence anywhere on the website at all, it worked perfectly for me!

unless you mess with your bootloader (in this case you didn't) you must be able to go into download mode and flash a fresh odin rom with pit 512 and repartition enabled
Soft bricking often happens in when you try to install a ROM which is not optimized for your phone e.g:Installing i9100 SII ROM on your i9001.
Here is a basic tutorial on how to unbrick a i9001.
Requirements:
For unbricking your phone you are going to need these:
1.An official Samsung firmware
2.ODIN downloader
3.AriesVE.ops for ODIN usage.
4.USB cable
5.Samsung KIES drivers installed
6.Patience!!!
OK.first of all you need to check things above and make sure you have them all.
Fortunately when your phone is soft bricked(when soft bricked your phone doesn't boot into the OS And instead of that you'll see picture of a phone connected to a computer and on the connection line there's a warning sign) can get yo the download mode. So first get your phone in download mode by pressing this button combination: volume down+ home key+ power button
So then get set to use ODIN.
Connect your phone to the PC and make sure you have installed drivers and also killed every KIES process.(If you have done well till now you can see one black gets yellow and in Terminal you'll see 2 lines "detected","added") So start ODIN and place AriesVE.ops as the ops file then use your official firmware (extension should be like this |..... .tar.md5|).To get your firmware working tick "one package" and place you "MD5" file in "one package" location. Then after MD5 checking start the process and go grab a beer.
Wait about 7 to 10 minutes to see PASS on the block.
Then your phone would automatically reboot into your android OS. Then you can start rooting, Tweaking and other stuff again.
At least one you have your phone and your warranty back.
FAQs:
1.my phone gets stuck at setup connection. what should I do?
Chill out! Don't panic! Simply remove your battery for 10 seconds then do these things all again and proceed!
2.my phone boot loops what do I do?
Simply reboot your phone in the Recovery mode "volume down+ power" and wipe cache/dalvik cache if you can.
(Once I installed FOTA from stock recovery and that worked for me)(I suggest you install the official TWRP recovery from SDcard to have more options)
3.you tell me your questions!I'll edit the topic later!
At last feel free to ask any dumb question. Dumb questions are muck more valuable than dumb mistakes!

Successfully rooted using CF-autoroot.
Verified rooted using Root Checker.
After rooting, tried to install TWRP via Odin. Disabled the auto-reboot in Odin.
Flashed twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte.img.tar in Odin. Got a green PASS! in Odin.
Rebooted phone, no TWRP. Tried to reboot into recovery (TWRP), not successful.
I thought TWRP has been installed, but maybe my key combo is not correct, so I tried another way to reboot into recovery (TWRP) via app. I installed Quick Reboot app from Google Play Store, gave it Root Permission. Pressed "Boot into recovery".
Now the phone is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge logo. I pressed and hold power button - nothing. Pressed and hold Volume Up, Power and Home - nothing. I pressed and hold Volume down, Power and Home, the screen blanks for a short while, then gets stuck at the Samsung S7 Edge logo screen.
I tried connecting the phone to PC and to Odin, device not detected.
What should I do? Please help.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how to flash via Odin. The phone is currently stuck at Samsung logo. Cant power off, cant reboot. It just stays on at that Samsung logo. When I connect the phone to my laptop, the device is not connected. Odin doesn't detect the phone.
You need to reboot into download mode to flash with odin hold the power and home button and the volume down button for a minute or so them use odin
1. get your phone into download mode. (hold power+home+v.down)
2.once in download mode connect it to your pc
3. go to sammobile.com and find the right firmware for you. (according to phone model)
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/galaxy s7/
4. once odin shows that your phone is connected with something like : <ID:0/003> Added!! in the log tab and 0:[COM3] above it you're ready to flash.
*I hope that by now your download is ready, and you have a zip file. click to open the zip and extract ONLY the ap file from there.
for me (SM-G935F) the file name is : AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5. (notice the AP before the file name).
5. now press the AP button and choose the AP_G935FXXU1DQE7_CL11104523_QB13505684_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5 or whatever you extracted and press start. after that your phone should boot and you'll be good to go.

Thank you very much for the detailed step by step instruction. I followed your instruction and managed to restore the stock rom, and the phone now works normally again. What a relief. You are a life saver!
The hardest thing was to get the phone to boot into download mode, because it just refuses to do so. It just stayed on, stuck at the samsung logo. Pressing down, home and power only make the screen flash briefly, then stuck at the logo again. The phone wont turn off. I had to leave the phone as it is to drain its battery. Once the battery is out of juice, the phone is finally off, then I connect it to PC, and pressed the key combo to enter download mode. After second try I managed to get into download mode. From there I followed the instruction to flash the stock rom again. I wouldnt know to extract and use only the AP file, as the instruction from sam mobile didnt say anything about it. But your detailed instruction did. The phone now works as normal. Thank you again! :good::good:
And thanks the rest who also provided advice in this thread as well. Much appreciated.

Hi. Something just occurred to me. In sam mobile site, there are like 5 versions of 6.0.1 stock roms. I wasnt sure which ones were mine, so i just chose one. And I only installed the AP file, as per your instruction. Is it okay not to install the rest of the files like the BL, CP etc?
Then later, i decided to try out nougat, and flashed the stock nougat rom from sam mobile, again i only flashed the AP file. I didnt flashes the rest of the files like BL, CP, CSC etc. Is this okay? Or should i flashed all those files too?
