My coworker put a bad fryo update on his vibrant and brought it to me to fix.

I put it in download mode... the only way i could sucessfully get it in download mode was through the sdk adb.exe "adb reboot download"

i used odin 3 v1.61 to flash back to stock. it failed. now i have the "phone ! pc" screen. i am unable to get it back to the standard download mode screen. how ever odin still sees the phone when i plug it in and will try a reflash. im currently downloading a different tar "t959uvjfd.tar" and am using the 512 pit.

Do i need to get this phone back to the normal downloading screen? if so i dont knwo what else to try. adb doesnt see the phone anymore since its not on and in dev mode.


If none of this works he has insurance on the phone but what do you say to the t-mobile rep when you have this kinda problem?
