Did your phone finish with the odin process? Either way I've had to pull my battery from time to time. I'd try to pull the battery let it sit for a minute or so..install the battery and try it again. If you've got multiple charging cords try another and if your charging via usb port then change ports. If none of that works you'll need better help than I can give.

First off make sure that you have a battery that is fully charged. If it doesn't boot after leaving the battery out for a minute then trying with a fully charged battery, try putting the phone in download mode by pressing vol down, camera, and power all at the same time until the YELLOW DOWNLOADING message appears on the screen. You can then use Odin to flash another image. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. Hopefully you've still got a warranty.

Here's a link to the Odin thread. It contains what you'll need if you can get it in downloading mode.

Whoever that is simply uploaded the files from the Odin thread, linked in the post directly above yours, and claimed it as their own, without giving any credit to the people who actually did the work :banghead::banghead::banghead:


AND those downloads are for froyo... (and appear to be broken)

Here's the original video... also found in the Odin thread.
