Alright guys, here it is.
I was able to access recovery mode on my bricked phone in a way that all of you may think is stupid.
I have a Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. My phone somehow bricked it self a few days ago. I wasnt able to get into recovery mode at all, no matter what I tried, how many times, and I tried every single method with no success.
People on XDA Forums were mentioning about heat somehow allowing you to access the recovery mode. Some said putting it facedown in the sun for a few minutes, some said plugging it in for 15-20 min, some said playing games on the phone to heat it will would also allow them to access the un-accessible recovery mode on their phone.
I tried all of them.
I put my phone in the oven for 5 minutes, twice, last night, did not work.
Ok I thoght to myself. Maybe I need more heat. To get it hot to the touch.
So I tried once again today, and what a shock, I was able to get in recovery mode via the 3 button - WITH BATTERY OUT, HOLD VOL UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON, then insert battery, and let go of the power button once your phone turns on.
Took 3 seconds to set everything to restore, in the recovery mode.
And done.
It worked for me.
If you are going to try this, maybe try with a hair blow dryer first.
I dont have one of those, so I couldnt, to be safer.
I will not be held accountable for any damage you do if you leave it in too long or damage your phone in any way.
This worked for me. Im happy I got it working.
The only thing which worries me now........
What if heat or cold can cause your phone to brick itself?
My phone bricked itself out of nowhere, no idea how. And what if it happens again.....
