[Q] Connection problem to odin after stock froyo rom flash

I've read and searched as much as I can but haven't seen anyone else have this problem.
I flashed Froyo XWJP6 using Kies and changing the registry entries and I am generally happy with the rom but I've seen others posted I wanted to try out. My problem is that I have so far been unsuccessful getting odin to connect when I go into the rom download screen (down+home+power). Odin and kies both connect when on the home screen.
I understand that since its Froyo with e3 recovery that update.zip files need to be signed so odin is needed to either install a new rom, install clockworkmod or install a kernel that has e2 recovery.
Is there any way I can get odin to connect or downgrade to e2 recovery without going through odin? Or any other solution to downgrade to 2.1 and start again?
It feels like i'm missing something but I don't have the experience to figure out what it is.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This happens to me every now and then as well.What I would do is to re-install the samsung usb driver in my laptop. After that, odin sees my phone again in DL mode.

Make sure you're connecting in the right sequence for odin.
- start odin with phone unplugged
- boot phone into d/l mode
- connect phone to pc via usb

thanks very much for replying. I tried a different computer and it seems to be a dodgy usb port/driver problem on my works computer I had tried originally.

[Q] Custom ROM Flashing Problem

I have been able to previously flash custom roms such as Cognition V.2 and Cappy's GingerBread ROM, but just recently i tried to flash Cognition V.3 on my Captivate and im unable to even enter recovery mode to flash the new ROM. Ive tried all ways to get my phone in recovery mode including the power button and volume button idea. And when i do try to flash to recovery mode, the ATT world phone screen comes up and it seems to freeze on that screen until i remove the battery.
How can i get out of this problem? Any questions, just ask because im not the best at describing things like this.

If you backed up everything use odin to flash to stock and proceed from there.

I probably should have told you that i only have a mac...im stuck arent I?

Any way you can use boot camp to boot up windows?
I ran into a similar problem some time back when trying to install an upgraded rom. For whatever reason, I had to reinstall Rom Manager to get the clockwork recovery to work. Dunno if you use anything like this, but just a thought.
Additionally, if you get rom manager you can reboot into recovery through it, as opposed to using the traditional method.

its strange because even from rom manager when i press the button to send my phone into recovery, it still goes to the att screen and freezes..

Google heimdall sgs. Program to flash stock on mac. Not as easy as odin

So ive just tried to install heimdall on my mac and it says it cannot run because my mac is not updated...i ran an update scan and there are no new updates and im also running the most up to date OS for mac. What do i do??

You are going to have to ask that question on the heimdall thread

[Q] Can't enter download mode after running Odin

Hello,
I verified that I am able to enter download mode by plugging in the USB cable while pressing both volume buttons with the device turned off. I also verified that I can enter recovery mode by pressing both volume buttons and the power button. So I am pretty sure that I know how to enter the modes.
I then ran the Odin version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 (by mistake, I didn't know it differed from the one in http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html). I assume that simply overrode everything with the stock ROM instead because I did not get the chance to select the SpeedMod kernel.
However, after that the hotkey method was no longer working. I was only able to enter download and recovery mode using adb. I used this to flash SpeedMod using the correct Odin version from the SpeedMod page.
Then I proceeded by going into recovery mode and extracting captivate-efsbackup.zip. I went into download mode (again with adb, keys still didn't work) and flashed cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar.
Now, however, I'm in real trouble. I can enter neither recovery nor download mode. No matter if I use hotkeys or adb, the system reboots, but then just shows the "Galaxy S\n cyanogen^(mod)" image.
Anyone able to help? Why aren't the hotkeys working anymore after running Odin?

I have no explanationas to why buy do have a suggestion. Try the AIO tool box. If the phone boots, just enable usb debugging and follow instructions. You should probably use the 3 button fix option.
I recently had done a clean up of my cappy because after tons of flashes it had become a mess. After flashing back to stock I lost dl mode and recovery. Whipped out the AIO...ver.2.5 , booted phone, put in debug.. Reformated with 3 button and boom!, back in business. Be sure your net framework is current 4 version, install the C++ lib as siggested.
Took a likely pain in the ass and turned it into an inconvenience. Just follow the instructions...

First of all, what model of Captivate do you have (the model number is underneath your battery, on the phone itself. It will be a number between 1006-1014).
And I hope you do realise that CM7 is a particularly difficult (than standard) ROM to flash, and if you don't know what you're doing (or miss a step), you can perma-brick your phone easily.
If you can't get into Download Mode by any means, then the only last suggestion I can give you is to try a USB Jig (search around in the Captivate Forum here, you'll see what I mean).

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is how I recovered:
Download SpeedMod Kernel
Create a nandroid backup on a working phone, copy that over to the broken one
Copy zImage from SpeedMod kernel to SD on broken phone with adb
Enter shell mode on phone
Look into misc/recovery.fstab to figure out the name of the sdcard block device
Mount sdcard with `mount [blockdev] /sdcard`
Flash zImage with `flash_image boot /sdcard/zImage`
Flash nandroid backups with `flash_image {system,cache,datadata} /sdcard/{system,cache,datadata}.img` (but not data)
Leave the phone without battery for at least 1 and at most 6 hours (my phone appeared completely dead after this operation, not even adb shell access, so I went to bed frustrated)
Now you can boot into download mode again using "adb reboot download" (which didn't work when running the CM7 kernel)
Use One Click Odin to revert to stock firmware
Install 3ButtonFix to get combos working again
Note that the original problem that caused all the trouble was that flashing the stock ROM with Odin One-Click disables the 3 Button combos. You have to use the 3ButtonFix to get it working again.

Nikratio please help me i was updating samsung galaxy 5 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo but when i was using odin then it stops working and i unplug the device the after that phone is not getting switched on and even not getting is recovery mode ... m very sad and even dnt have the backup of any phone and none of my frnd have android phones so that i have backup please help me bro m afraid of my mom too coz i just bought it few time back please hem me bro

[Q] Tab totally unresponsive.

I have a Verizon Galaxy Tab 7-inch with WiFi and 3G running Android 2.2 (Froyo). I mistaking tried to flash the new Android 2.3.3 before realizing it was only for GSM phones. I followed all the instructions using Odin3 (1.7) and everything looked like it worked except it never rebooted and I never got it into the Recovery Mode. I was still able to get in Download Mode so I tried to find a compatible 2.2 ROM to flash. I flashed the Roto JME rom, it didn't reboot. I flashed P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUBJM2_P1000NUUBJM2_HOME and it didn't work. Odin3 seemed to install these, I always got PASS. Now my Tab is totally unresponsive. Odin3 acts like it's installing but I can't get the Download Mode screen anymore. How do I get it back to factory or some working system? I don't expect to save anything I've loaded, I just want it to work again. HELP. Thanks.
P.S. If I can't fix this, who do I take it to to re-install the system? I got it from Verizon.

Can you get it into recovery mode? (Turn off, then Power + Volume UP)

No success
No, nothing I do will show anything on the display. I can't get into Recovery Mode or Download Mode. However, when I'm hooked to the computer and press the correct buttons to turn on/off or Download Mode, I hear the computer beep indicating it sees the USB and the yellow COM widget in Odin3 lights up and says it's up and in Download Mode. I can then flash it and it says PASS. I also just tried Heimdall and it also seemed to successfully flash the original Verizon SCH-I800_VZM firmware. Nothing displays when I try to go into Recovery Mode. I don't even see the picture of the battery when I plug it into the wall. Have I somehow trashed by screen?

Hi ! I got the same problem and now my Tab totally bricked...

Samsung just needs to give us the files and software to load these tabs back to stock! That would end the return issue for the carriers and let us unbrick them. Like any other device, there is a way to fix it without having to send it back.

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990

What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)

Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further

if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.

Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !

There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it

Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William

I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?

They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay

Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.
Grtz William

I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.

u can acces the phone sd in recovery..

Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.

Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.
