Unhappy panic!! help unbrick

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.

removing battery, hold vol up, vol down and insert battery, Have Odin up and running then plug in your cable. Then let go of the button

WARNING!!! THIS WILL WIPE ANY DATA ON YOUR DEVICE, IT WILL REPLACE YOUR BASEBAND, KERNEL, RECOVERY AND OS.

thx to KopyKatKiller

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)

Thx to all helping work on the Vibrant. Especially Youneek, Scepterr, MS_Guru, Wes Garner, rhcp0112345, and anyone I may have forgot.

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.

From bay_wolf's post, some information about setup of odin,
Quote:
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.
Here's the download link from his thread (credit to bay_wolf): http://www.multiupload.com/G3LUINMUE0
