It seems I've messed up pretty bad...

Hello everyone,

It seems that I've messed up. I was under the impression that this: http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-...online-kitchen/ - could be done on any Galaxy S phone. It wasn't until later that I found out that I can't flash my USA Vibrant (I'm referring specifically to flashing the JG1 firmware). I was following this video tutorial which said nothing about that: http://android.modaco.com/content/samsung-...g-firmware-jg1/

So now I've got a potentially bricked phone. Odin never got past File Analysis or whatever it says. There was never a blue bar going across the screen so I assume it never started flashing. However, when I try to turn it on I get a phone symbol, a few dots an X symbol, a few more dots and then a PC symbol.

I'm hoping that I can fix this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you pulled the battery then tried turning it on?

Haha, you're gonna have to try harder to brick your phone than that Brandon :(

I did the same thing very early in my Galaxy S' life and I too was very shook up by the 'Phone X PC' screen that I couldn't find any info on at Modaco.

2 things still work regardless:

Volume Up + Menu Button + Power On = Recovery Mode

Volume Down + Menu Button + Power On = Download Mode

Just chuck her back in download mode, find the Vibrant firmware on the net and try to flash again (it will work).

Good luck!

Yeah that's what I've been looking for. Been unable to find it so far. =(

Ahh yes if the firmware is on the net then no issue :(

I don't think anyone has bricked the phone yet.. well actually.. I wouldn't recommend repartitioning the internal sd card.. :(

Actually (I don't want to pull my own chain! :(), is there any chance that this could get stickied or put up in the FAQ or something? Just this is a little scary when people don't have any idea at the start of their flashing journey :(
