[q] odin3 help!

I have a samsung i9000 with stock JF3 and had rooted and lag fixed it but was having problems downloading apps, paid at first then all downloads begun to fail.. Anyway I tried to use ODIN3 to re-flash the original firmware but to no avail!! I took the battery sim card and sd card out put the phone in download mode, Then started odin3 and connected the phone. Odin3 can see the port but just stays on analysing files... Have then disconnected and tried over and over and over... so many times I don't care to remember. It never gets passed the analysing files. It did fail twice, but that was something to do with samsung kies stealing the COM port (I think!!). Anyway thought I would try and update the firmware through samsung kies. But just get the unable to upgrade this firmware. Which I'm surprised at as most seem to have the option think its to do with my firmwares but not sure.
If anyone could shed light on this also it would be much appreciated!!
Code XXJF3, Modem XXJF3, CSC XENJF3
Anyway to the point of this topic. I Now want to just flash the new Firmware myself but am wondering, If I could not connect odin3 to re-flash the original firmware... Am I going to have problems re-flashing with downloaded firmware! Am thinking there's a great chance of bricking my phone. Doing it all in the correct order so dont understand why it wont connect!!!
Also is there another way/program I could use to flash my device???

You could try using Samsung Kies to install the JM1 official firmware

I did... I also wrote that in the thread!! Where I said it cannot be upgraded through kies!

Disconnect all usb devices except mouse and kb and try again. Best to use windows xp. A powered usb Hub helped me too. I think sgs drains too much power from usb ports

Thanks I shall try that!, got lots of USB's plugged in... I am on xp... If this does not work though, is there an alternative to ODIN3??? or am I stuck on stock JF3... As that would be unbearable.. no samsung update and cant do it myself!!!! I have noticed a few of the senior members do live in Holland, so I shall put it out there that if one of you nice dutch fella's who know's what your doing wouldn't mind having a look at my sgs for me I would be very much greatfull! Holland isn't the biggest of places so I would be willing to travel.... Thats how much I wanna get this sorted!!

Subject Solved
Well I have found the answer!!... Well for me anyway!
I was following the information everywhere as to how to put my SGS into downoad mode!: Volume up + home + Power button... I was assuming this was correct as it was loading up with an android menu with the following options: Restart phone, Update via update.zip, restore to factory settings. I thought while in this I was in download mode. No I wasn't!! LOL... God knows how many times I was trying to connect odin3 and to no avail. I have now found out if i press volume down + home + power button... walaaaa A big green android man doing what appeared to be some digging (Didn't stay on screen long) also with DOWNLOADING in huge green letters... I am now assuming this maybe download mode and I will have better joy attaching my SGS to odin now... If I am wrong someone may slap me in the face with a giant swordfish and leave me for the rats!

[Q] BELL i9000m users: Nexus S? GS2? Which one?

It's obvious that these Bell i9000m GXS phones are messed up with their faulty SD cards.
It's been reported the Nexus S will be coming to Bell (and later on the SGS2)
Should I try and sell my phone via craigslist / Kijiji when the Nexus S comes out ? or should I wait for the SGS 2 ?
What are you guys thinking?
These faulty SD cards are a joke of a phone, only slightly less embarrassing than the support/software
I've been trying to upgrade by 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo for over a month now -- tried everything and no luck. This is a f*cking joke since my old palm pre could even do OTA upgrades

Thousands of people on this forum flash to a different ROM everyday. Explain how you have tried to upgrade, maybe we can see if you are doing something wrong.
As for getting a different phone, the only differences in specs between the SGS and the Nexus S is the lack of a SD card on the Nexus S and it will have Gingerbread. The Nexus S works on HSDPA 1700, the SGS on HSDPA 1900

Well I have been following Kies "fixes" for a month and a half now, and trust me, there isn't anything I haven't read. Nothing works. I've done the 16 character deletion fix, nothing. I've uninstalled Kies and the drivers and done registry hacks, etc. for days and days. Rebooted about 500 times. Reinstalled software. Nothing.
It says everything is connected and working fine - but when I connect my phone to the USB cable KIES (2.0) just says "connecting" with an never ending loop.
I think it's a crying shame this software sucks so bad.
As stated, I may need to resort to using ODIN and flashing, which I don't want to do (because of warrenty issues)
What's the best ROM to use? I want something fast and stable. Are people flashing Gingerbread ROMS ?

Atrix
I agree that Kies is an awful program. There's just too many tweaks that you have to do just to attempt to get your phone connected.
I'd suggest getting the Motorola Atrix 4G. It's already announced on Bell and it's by far the most interesting phone yet.

I do not use Kies V2, I hate it. It also does not try to update my phone, it gets to the update window but then it freezes. I still use Version 1.5.3.10103_102 of Kies. I also use the registry patcher with 1.5.3. it works great.
Here is Kies and the Registry Patcher I use.
What version of Android are you running at the moment?

I wouldn't worry about "waranty" issues personally just do your research before flashing is all.

Install the Kies I uploaded and plug in your phone. If you still 2.1 on your phone, it should upgrade it to JL2. If you are still having trouble, download this JL2 here. This is the stock JL2 ROM
Use Odin to flash it, it's super easy.
Uncompress the JL2 file you downloaded
In Odin, click on PDA and choose the uncompressed JL2 file.
Nothing else gets ticked in Odin.
Plug in your phone and when Odin recognizes the phone click on start.
I have noticed that sometimes there is a fail on the first attempt, but I close Odin, unplug the phone, restart Odin, plug the phone back in and try again and it always works on the second attempt.

When he says the uncompressed file hes talking about the JL2 Tar file so there's no confusion and when he says plug in your phone and when it recognizes your phone click start your phone has to be in Download Mode. To get into download mode turn the phone off then press and hold Vol Down,Home and power.

Nexus S is a big disappointment
definitely not recommended if you are coming from a SGS
might have better luck wiht SGS v2.0 if they ever release it

Personally I'm really happy with my I9000m. I did fall victim of the sd card failure but when this phone works it's awesome, Im not running stock roms though. So far I only had minor problems with my replacement.
Its nice and snappy very little lag with no lag fix 150+ apps and with super curio's latest voodoo sound it's an amazing mp3 player.
I just like to point out as well that my i9000 plays flash 10x better then my ps3. I wish it had hd out though that just be amazing. As I watched quite a few movies using rogers ondemand online and the ability to stream the movies would be awesome although they are wathable on this screen . Oh yea and my 2 year daughter loves it as well . , load up some toopy and Binoo for those long car rides

You complain about the SD cards but it sounds like your real problem is Kies. Yes Kies is junk, couldn't get it to recognize the phone at all on my laptop but my desktop was randomly fine.
The SD card issue actually seems mostly resolved. Not sure if it is the new JL2 bootloader or the new hardware (new phone or new PBA like I got) but I'm not seeing many reports of SD cards dying lately.
As far as Kies I'm not letting it anywhere near my phone now. Odin'd a new kernel and now flashing ROMs is dead easy just put them on the SD card and install in recovery mode.
Yes the SD card issue was disappointing, I was without my phone for 4 weeks, but these things happen the important thing is that we get a proper fix and it seems we did. Otherwise I'm very happy with the phone, JL2 stock was good and custom ROMs are even better.
I don't see Nexus S as a good choice for SGS users even if you really hate the SGS. Not really an upgrade while the lack of microSD and video recording are downgrades. The S2 looks awesome, we'll see how the moddability and reliability are. Myself I think I will wait for the next Google-branded phone which should deliver both next-gen hardware and no-holds-barred customization.

I had flashed to a version of 2.2 but then flashed back to JH2 after my phone acting strange. (Already had it replaced once for corrupt SD). I had thought I had official Bell (BMC) version of firmware on the phone but Kies was still recognizing it as (KOR) and would not upgrade me to JL2. Anyway, thank's to your Reg Patcher I am currently getting JL2.
Many thanks

i sent my second 9000m back for repair (they replace motherboard) but on stock jl2 it was terribly laggy.. gallery would not open fc's and other apps would fc'''... and when they put in new motherboard they forgot to reflash the imei.. ..
hopefully can get a replacement.. to another phone.. my i9000t on the otherhand has been steller with no issues whatsoever..

Soft-Bricked, No PC connectivity

Hey there, i am feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all of the advice going on out there and need someone who can give me the answer to my specific problem hardware wise without breaking a sweat...
I flashed a froyo 2.2 rom onto my phone a while ago, recently all of my apps stopped working, and i could no longer install any apps.
Couple days ago i tried openning gmail and the screen went black and gave me the bzzzzzz...............................bzzz...bzzz...
vibrating error that you usually get when an app crashes.
Now the phone continues doing that even when booted up and stuff
It starts right after the S screen and repeats until the battery is removed.
My phone can't get into download or reset mode using the 3 button method so i bought a jig off of ebay, works like a charm.
however NOW, i cannot get the computer to see the phone; both when it is on and attached and in download mode and attached. Odin can't see it, neither can Kies.
If i can get either to see it, i can look up the flashing process to make sure everything is right.... but as of yet nothing i am doing is making a difference.
Thanks for any help

Ok, I'd focus on odin so disable Kies (in task manager processes - all the kies processes).
Then I would 1) reinstall the drivers (standalone ones) 2) Have a few versions of odin to try (like 1.3, 1.7 and ez odin) 3) Clean your usb port on the phone (and computer maybe too - whats the harm?).
Usually if you are sure the drivers are Ok then you should be able to odin working with a nice clean port. They are more sensitive to dirt/moisture or whatever than they should be.
Try that and let us know...
BTW Some people think that the order is important but I've never noticed that. I always have odin open and then connect it but cant hurt to try the other way around too.

Hey thanks alot,
I am at work right now but i am optimistic about trying that out lol.
Just so i know for when the time comes and if Odin works, what files do i need to flash it? .pit, .tar and anything else specific for Bell Canada?
I only ask because you are with Bell so it is probably a very simple answer for you. Otherwise I am sure i can find it elsewhere.
Thanks,
I'll keep you updated

Download the complete jl2 rom from link I posted yesterday (search my posts) with repartition ticked, then flash the kc1 rom from stock rom link on xda or at samfirmware.com and flash without repartition if you want the latest. You could just try the kc1 step but I you need to repartition.

Hey man,
my phone has never been sent in for repairs or replaced...
I was reading one of your other posts and you advised another member to send it in and maybe they will replace/update hardware?
I have still had my phone for less than a year so sending it in will be no problem at all...
Should i flash to the latest myself or return to stock and send it in?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Well he knows his is broken as he can see that his internal memory reads 0 (which means its cooked - ask me how I know...) and he was trying to fix it in a round about way. Or there was the guy who flashed a captivate rom - that was just a big no-no.
You might just have a corrupt partition or some other corruption in the file system. I seem to get that all the time and its a pain but very fixable .

Alright, sooo
-uninstall Kies
-install drivers only
-try to connect to Odin
-If succesful flash with Odin
-dance with joy
Got it, I will update you later when i get home.
Thanks

installed drivers on my work computer (32 bit windows xp) and nothing... I've tried phone off, phone on, phone in d/l mode... It doesn't pick up anything...
I can try it on my Windows 7 comp at home and see if that works but i'm wondering what the worst case scenario is just bringing into Bell and having them fix it... Am i looking at charges, warranty voiding, etc.. etc... to have it fixed or could i BS my way out of it?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
pretty sure i flashed the wrong firmware on my phone, when it boots up it says GT-I9000 not GT-I9000M.
It worked fine for like 6 months so i never questioned it... damn damn damn

Not to be completely devious but i got an extended warranty that replaces the phone due to water damage, theft, etc. etc...
If there is no other way should i take advantage of that?
I would hate to jump to one of those actions but i am somewhat panicking becuase i made a super-noob mistake and effed up my phone....

I9000 firmware is completely compatible. The text you see is from the kernel which are always for i9000 unless you have one of the three bell firmwares. So that's not the issue.

I would keep trying. I have gotten warranty before and I was in the same predicament as you almost except I knew that the internal memory was dead. But that was also around the time when most of the I9000M models were dying. They might be checking more now.
If you get odin to flash a stock rom then you can go for it but by then you should be able to fix it.

Alright i will keep trying.
As far as the firmware goes, my gf and i both have the same phone, but she kept heres official and i put custom roms on mine (just the 2.2 because it wasn't available)
We are both on bell canada so i asked her to boot up her phone and the beginning message on hers says GT-I9000M so it freaked me out lol
I will try on my home computer,
keep your fingers crossed for me

Alright, so Odin can now see my phone (it was the damn cord, my Win 7 comp couldnt see it but my xp work laptop can)
Which firmware would you recomend flashing? Stock gingerbread or a slight variation?
I am at work right now so i can wait a bit for a good response. It'd really help me out if you could provide links and tips to the best firmware out right now (i have no problem flashing a custom ROM if it is good).
Thanks alot,
Josh

Succesfully Flashes Gingerbread 2.3.4
Thanks for all your help!!!

how did you manage to see it in odin?
i have te same problem with restarting just after first screen (after flashing to gingerbread) but i cant see it in odin so i cant flash it again?
when i connect it when turned off, a small icon appears with usb connected sound but its still not visible.
Is it maybe my win7?
help, anyone please

Did you start in Download mod? Did you kill the Kies processes in you Win7 task manager ?
If yes, sometimes Windows takes time to install the drivers (be sure ton be connected to the internet), you should also close and relaunch Odin.

i launched download mode with sdk, and now i cant start it.
i went to another pc with xp. it installs drivers but odin cant recognize it.

Well i did it on my work XP computer becuase WIN 7 wasn't recognizing it. But it turns out the whole time the cable i was using would connect to charge, but not act as a pc connection.

[Q] I think its Bricked..and odin doesnt work

hey guys i have a captivate that i tried flashing and was successful then i tried again and the screen went black. im not sure if my battery died during the process or what but idk what to do. I cant get into recovery mode, i can only get into downloading mode but none of the odin's ive downloaded have recognized my device today. they worked fine yesterday. then i tried "hemidall one click" to try and get it back to stock but no luck. also when i try to power on I get the "Cornkernel" loading screen since that was the kernel i had loaded when it was working, but it fills the bar then shuts off. so it seems like im going to be at the mercy of a computer program since i am unable to access anything on the phone, right? I recently upgraded to gingerbread before all of the flashing of the new roms. all i want is to get back to either froyo or gingerbread, i dont really care, heck ill even take 2.1 at this point. if anyone knows whats going on and can help me thatd be great.
Thanks

Remember to use a rear usb hub for destop and run as admin. Heimdall will mess up your odin drivers.

You may also want to check out the captivate connection issues thread.
Also, to clarify further on prbassplayer's point about Heimdall, it will write its drivers over the drivers assigned to the USB port you are plugged into when it detects your phone. So if you have 4 USB ports and you use port 3 for Heimdall, it would look like this:
1 - Odin port
2 - Odin port
3 - Heimdall port
4 - Odin port
All this means is that you'll need to be aware of the port you used with Heimdall, or just reinstall the odin drivers (they'll overwrite the Heimdall setup).

OK so i tried what you mentioned in that thread on the connection issue and unfortunately it didn't work. is there a way i could start fresh? like delete all the drivers from my computer and then try it again, or do u not think that would work? im open to any ideas/suggestions right now because i hate having an extra paperweight and the thought of buying a new phone.

Don't know if this'll help or even why it worked for me but, when I had problems with odin recognizing my phone, I reinstalled/repaired samsung kies and odin would work for at least one flash.
Note: used full odin (not oneclick)
Good luck

hey guys thanks a bunch i finally got it to work. i had to use a different computer like you said. What a great feeling to have a functional phone again..
Thanks Again!!

So i got the phone back up and running android 2.1 and I would like to get it back to the stock 2.3 I had before the whole mess of rooting and stuff. but when i try to upgrade with kies or straight on the phone it ends up failing and telling me to try it again. any ideas why this is happening? or how to fix it.

Kies sucks lol
look at my sig the first "go to" has the One Click Odin file to get you to stock and rooted 2.3 ...should take no more then 5 mins to do it

the link on that page for the 1 click odin doesnt work.

Try looking >>HERE<<. There are more one clicks there than you will ever need (hopefully)

Thanks I think I might try one of those. But considering what happened earlier in the week i want to clarify/ask a few ?s about that page. How do I know which Gingerbread to use of the 3 listed? How do I know whether or not to click the one with or without the bootloader? I'm new at this with android but I used to flash roms on my old windows mobile htc TILT.

if you have never flashed GB bootloaders, you need to. Just oonce will work from that time forward. After you flash bootloaders, it's best to avoid them. A bad bootloader flash is one of the few things that will turn a Captivate into a paperwight. About which GB to use, I would say KK4. Its the same as the Official KK4 that was released. So to recap, flash bootloaders only once, then use no bootloader packages after that.

Im not sure if I unlocked them or not honestly. I know i had the phone rooted at one point and was running Cerberus rom. is there any way for me to check?

If you don't know, flash them.

ok i apologize in advance if this is a stupid obvious question..i got the odin one click and i was looking at the page u referred to me to and im wondering what the kernel is for? you cant place it in the odin one click obviously so is that just to keep things together or do i actually need it?

The kernel links are just to use if you want to root the stock rom. You have to use full Odin for those. Stick with the one click until you feel more comfortable in flashing AND do a lot research before your next flash.

so i got the KK1 gingerbread working and everything seems to work fine but now my data doesnt work. So I cant get ATT 3g or edge or anything the only internet i recieve is wifi. anyone know why this is? or how to fix it. ive tried a reboot and nothing ive tried changing the settings under network settings.

Tried updating to ICS through KIES. Update failed

Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.
Mitchell

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.

Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.

I just cant explain how happy i am with this forum.
Brings so much luck into live
Thanks.
Ill see if i need more help. Hopefully not.

Is there any dutch ICS rom?
Or should i stick with a basic english?

I got exactly the same problem. Called T-Mobile's helpdesk. With everything I asked, the girl said, it's in the manual. Finally, the best she had to offer was for me to send my Note to Samsung.
So then I started looking for a solution myself and found it here.
Solved it with the said solution. Flashing with Odin is a piece of cake. Thanks for the expertise folks.

Good thing we can help. Wouldnt call myself an expert though

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

Lol in kies you have recovery mode you missed an option
Good thing you got it fixed

Like i said, KIES didnt see my phone. Neither did windows.
So it wasnt an option.

Glad its fixed

BTW, after getting my Note up and running again, I used KIES again for updating to ICS and this time I had no problem at all.

For me this didnt work. KIES had an upgrade, but seems like it still doesnt do the job right.

Ran some tests. Now i am back at the issue.
Now Odin doesnt want to continue updating like KIES always does.
I wish i didnt do the tests...

And trying out different KIES versions.
Well at the 2nd update 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 it ran stuck again.
And now Odin doesnt do anything to aswell. Keeps saying ''Failure'' after some time.

Now ODIN is stuck at syaing ''BOOT'' above ID:COM.
How can i fix this?

Well seems like the Dutch roms aint working.
I did an European right now wich worked.
