Hi, n00b poster here...
Got a "force stop" as soon as the phone boots up. Tried the software reset, didnt work, so now trying to do the flash in download mode. Got all the files (.pit and the .tar file) got OdinV3 and the drivers are installed to detect the phone.
However, when I click the start button OdinV3 causes a fatal error and crashes. I have tried this on multiple computers and it does the same thing. HELP PLEASE!
EDIT: I am using the i9000DTJF3 file found on these forums as its the original OPTUS firmware.
You can give Heimdall (my flashing tool) a try if you want. I suspended the public alpha for the moment because it bricked a phone however if nothing else is working you might as well give it a shot.
Send me a PM if you would like the download link.
Before you do that however, have you tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes then retrying? I'm not actually sure how that makes any sense but quite a few people have reported it as helping.
ok, so downloaded the DTJG4 firmware from samsung firmwares and it now gets to this;
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
Should this take a long time? I figured it wasnt working once it sat there for ages...

Nope, that should be pretty much instantaneous.
Are you sure you're in download mode and not recovery mode?

Hey guys,
While on my way to the super root patch ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751934&highlight=stock ), I first am trying to install JH3. I got Odin3 v1.00, put the .tar in the PDA box, and clicked start. Here's the log:

It hasn't changed in about 10 minutes. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Pull the battery, get back into download mode with the key combo and start again. Odin is finicky and sometimes takes more than one try.

Well the log says "removed" so somehow your USB connection got interrupted... which means your phone is going to be in Phone/Computer screen hell.
Close Odin, unplug your phone, pull out your battery/sim/sdcard.
Open Odin, put in your battery, attach USB, and hold both volume buttons without applying power to get back into download mode to try again
If that doesn't work:
Unplug the phone from everything, hold both buttons and power... keep holding power till the screen turns off, continue holding power- the screen will turn off a second time, at that point release power and continue holding the volume buttons and you *should* get the download screen
Thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, Odin doesn't seem to see that it's connected. I don't see anything in the ID:COM boxes. I changed USB ports, nothing. Should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

Odin won't see it unless the phone is powered up in download mode, if you've gotten it to download mode and Odin still can't see it then yeah... your drivers might be fubar
Odin tends to work best for me if I get everything set up in Odin just short of pressing the start button before connecting the phone to the computer and putting it in download mode. Maybe it's superstition, but it seems to help me avoid some of those timeout issues.

I'm curious..what happens when you remove and replace battery, hold power up and hit power...wall o text?
Got it! Everything installed, super root added. Thanks for all your help!
Ok I apologize if this isnt where this belongs, but i have yet to find an answer i understand. Is odin a program that i can download to a desk top computer and run? I keep seeing open odin and do this , open odin and plug in phone. its always sounds like an easy step, but for someone who doesnt know how to even get odin, it has prevented me from doing alot of things with my phone. I see "needs odin' an i move on to the next thread I know its a firmware to help flash roms, but that is about it please educate a supernoob lol
I understand what you mean, I just got my captivate yesterday and spent a six+ hours figuring that stuff out. I think I might try to write up the steps I went throigh to help other Android noobs like me. I'm coming from an iphone so this is all new for me. The good news: I figured it all out finally and so can you. I now have JH3 installed, and the super root mod, overclocked and evertything. My quadrant score went from stock of around 900 something to 2160 after all the tweaks I applied. I cant wait to see how it performs with 2.2!
Ok, so basically heres what i figured out; to use Odin, you'll need a firmware image, and Odin will be included. I recommend upgrading to JH3 and installing SuperRoot. It makes everything pretty painless. SuperRoot installs lagfix, root, and much much more all at once.
Search for the SuperRoot thread (IIRC). In there is a link to instructions on how to restore your phone to stock. Look for the thread on JH3 and get that image. Post 6 in that thread has instructions, and the restore to stock thread has more of an explanation. Then, you can do whatever else you need. HTH.
Ill get on my pc in a minute a put the links in here.

You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."
Once you've restored, you can follow the instructions for the first link I gave (SuperRooterExtreme). Or, you can do whatever else you want. This is just what I figured out yesterday.
I know what it's like to not know what Odin is! Took me forever to figure it out, I downloaded all kinds of stupid crap before I got it right.
The odin I downloaded from the samsung firmware website is only 167kb and an unknown file that won't open what's that about

hello all! so i hope that wans't posted before,
Here is the thing , earlier today i tried to flash to JM7 but odin got stuck for 2 hours so i unplugged the usb. Since then i have been trying to flash jm,1 jm5, or jm6 but i can't get past the "get PIT for Mapping".,
Since earlier i also can't make the phone to boot, black screen all the way , the only thing i can do is get in download mode, i can't even access recovery mode.
did it ever happen to anyone?
Yeh happened a few times. Are you using the right pit file? Also set odin to win xp compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb except mouse and kb and try again
Worst case find yaself a xp box and do it there.

Yeah I know..I'm bringing a thread back from the dead. But I'm desperate right now.
I'm having the same issue. So I rooted my phone awhile ago and was using the Paragon RC4 ROM, I upgraded it to RC6 and everything worked fine, but I decided to start from a clean slate and use ODIN3 to go back to stock and start from scratch (with a full battery cause when I first flashed I was apparently only at 98% battery). So I started ODIN3 and put the phone into download mode. ODIN picked the phone up right away and I hit Start. ODIN's status says:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
And it sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'.
There's a small blue status bar on the phone and it just sits at about 1/4".
I did a bad thing and yanked the battery and now the phone will only go into Download mode and ODIN still just sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'. I can't get into recovery mode, can't even get a splash screen. I can't post in the [STOCK ROM\ Odin3 thread cause I'm a new member. So I'm stuck...anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I've managed to solve it. It wasn't the pit file, it was my 64 bit Windows. After I emulated a virtual machine and installed windows xp 32 bit, it worked like a charm.

What does that mean? I'm getting it after I put my phone into download mode and tried to put my phone back to stock with Odin. Odin hung up on me and I had to disconnect.
What do I do?

odin is wonky especially if you have the stock rom jf6 on there. it is always best to have odin prepared with the pit and .tar files first and to use the usb cable + 2 buttons to get download mode, i remember way back when my phone was stock and i tried to flash stock it wasn't working. i flashed a beta rom jh2 ( the only altenative at the time) and it worked. never had another issue flashing and i have been through many froyo versions and ports from other galaxy s phones and used all the 2.1 roms. odin jf6 just didn't like to flash over jf6 but it usually eventually works.
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for a week now with no success.
First off, it has a lot of problems connecting when I am in download mode. It has no problem at all when the phone is fully booted up, but Odin has a really hard time seeing it while the phone is in download mode. I have to restart the phone several times into download mode and pull the cable, etc until I can finally get Odin to see it.
Once I get Odin to finally see the phone in download mode I loaded the PIT and the PDA files from the tutorial for DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.
But when I hit start is just stops here:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And will not go any further.
I originally rooted with one click, but I am afraid I might have messed that up. After I did the one click I was messing around with the phone and formatted the internal memory from the download screen. I even went back into one click to try to unroot, but it gives me an error message.
Did I mess up my phone? Is there any way to fix this?
have you ever succeeded in flashing with odin or first time?
have you closed all kies programs from task manager? (do you even have it installed?)
if you have win7, have you opened odin with right click menu->as administrator?
what ver. of odin do you use?
maybe the cable is faulty?
did you connect it directly to the comp or by some hub? (better connect directly)
guy7685,
No, I have never flashed before. This is the first time.
I tried running Odin as system admin, made no difference.
I do not have Kies installed.
I'm pretty sure the cable is good, it works fine for everything else including data transfer on my other phone, just not in download mode for this phone.
I've tried a few different versions. v1.30, v1.83, v1.85
When I tried in in v1.83 & v1.85 I get a fail, then this message:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any thoughts?
If you have another computer you can try it on, do that otherwise I think you need to install the drivers again. You can search for them or you can install them via kies. Once you have kies installed go to tools and install drivers.
Remember that before you open Odin you go through task manager to close all kies processes.
Good luck

It's sat here for 20 minutes "flashing" and hasn't really progressed.
It does the same thing with the stock recovery img, and if I long-press the power, I get a device--/!\--computer screen talking about an error while flashing, and that I'm a moron, and I need to fix it in download mode.
Am I doing something wrong? Did I look at it funny? Should I smash it with a hammer?
Help please.
Hm, unb0rked.
I sideloaded ROM Manager (since the wifi on this pile drops every 15-30 seconds), installed the 10.1's recovery (despite knowing it would work), then took the thing home and hooked it up to my desktop and ODIN worked fine.
I think it just hated the laptop I was trying to work from.

Glad you sorted it out. Although, that sounded like a driver or connection problem. Make sure you've the latest drivers.

Yeah, they were, though something may have happened when installing Kies.
I grabbed your toolkit when I did it on my own computer, and the separate driver file is more gooder, thanks.
