[Q] Help please, firmware flash failed and still cant flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i thought i would try flash my galaxy s (australian model) to 2.2 last night.
however while i was in the process my girlfriend pulled the chord out so she could charge her phone (arghh!!!) so now when the phone is turned on i see the plug into computer screen. I put the phone back in download mode and am trying to flash again. Samfirmware.com says i have to flash to xwjm8 first and then to the newest one. So i downloaded the xwjm8 firmware from their website. I am using odin. there are 2 files in the download, one big and one small. Which file do i put in which category in odin?, i ask because no matter what i do its still failing so im thinking i am doing it wrong now. please help

[Q] No firmware will install on my Samsung Galaxy

Hi all,
I recently tried upgrading my Samsung Galaxy S from Eclair to Froyo through Samsung Kies, but however it would not move past 1% for a long time (1 hour?), and would not cancel the update so had no choice but to disconnect my USB. Since then, it would only show the Phone ! Computer sign.
I bought myself a jig which set it on into download mode. First I accidently hit start on Odin without loading any firmware which kick started my phone back to how it was before this accident. I then downloaded the I9000XWJS3|2.2.1|2011 January (not actually knowing the stock firmware type on my phone). I loaded the file as a PDA, and got a Pit file, 512. No luck it would not load. It would get stuck and modem.ini or something like that. After a few tries of unplugging, using jug and replugging back to usb, I tried again, but Odin accidentally started up with "re-partition" aswell and after loading the PDA file and PIT file I clicked start with repartition ticked.
Since then the phone won't even start, even plugged into a charger, not even the Phone ! Computer sign anymore. Just a blank screen. However using the Jig still puts it in download mode, but since my Phone is of the o2 network (UK), Ive even tried downloading and trying to flash Eclair firmware, I9000XXJM1, by loading the 512 pit file, loading the PDA, Phone and CSC files. Again, nothing, it gets stuck at:

and thats it, the blue bar on my phone moves a little, but gets stuck at factoryfs.rfs.
I literally have no idea what to do anymore and I feel I may of taken more than I can chew and worried I have perma bricked my phone or corrupted something. Should I send it in to Samsung for repair? Will they even repair it or be able to? My phone wont start up at all, and when I say that I mean you hold the power button and nothing comes on. It's not like before, not even the Phone ! Computer sign shows or anything, its just black. They only way I can get anything out of it is by plugging the Jig, which puts it in download mode.
Any idea's or help would be GREATLY appreciated.
PS: I tried runing Odin 1.3 in admin mode and under XP service pack 2 compatibility, no luck!

Nope even tried that post and downloaded the firmware, did exactly as he instructed. Phone is in download mode, the blue bar goes the same distance (like 2mm full) and stops for the rest of the time.

Bricked my SGS? CM7 - HELP!

Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right place to post, I'm new so go easy on me!
so today i tried to go downgrade my phone to eclair 2.1. I was currently using a custom rom (miui) with CM7
i went on odin i used a pit 512 file "s1_odin_20100512.pit"
WHILE i was flashing my galaxy s, my computer shut down! when i tried to turn on the phone it didnt want to start.
I STILL have access to the download mode when i try several times the vol down, home, and power button combo
So i would like to know if i have an hope to make work my phone again and recover from this issue.
1st-why the hell would you like to downgrade your phone to eclair?
2nd-use a full rom with repartition -for example js8 full or jpu- with odin and 512 pit. make sure that your computer doesn't shut down again
note: while your computer shuts down while you were flashing boot.bin, sbl.bin or param.lfs your phone will be worth paper weight. so be careful.
Thanks for the quick reply! Do you maybe have a link where i could download that jpu rom?
go to samfirmware.com
you will need to sign up, but it's free, so it will take you 2 minutes to complete
So i downloaded a I9000XX JPU firmware, I used a pit 512 file but i think that i got an other probleme. here's the Odin log

Im stuck at Setup Connection, 10 minutes laters nothing happened yet.
setup connection, means its having trouble connecting to your phone, make sure KIES is not running, try another USB port, one that goes direct into the motherboard of the pc. and try again
you should be ok
Also run Odin as Administrator if you're on Vista or Seven.
Thanks a lot for your help! yes you were right i had to restart odin to make it work

Odin Stuck, Barely Got to Download Mode

Hey all,
I've softbricked my Captivate and back to download mode using a JIG. It took me awhile to get it there as well. Anyhow, my phone is connected to the PC and is recognized by the OS and Odin3 3 Button Fix v1.81. It is not detected by Odin 1 click. When I attempt to flash back to stock, Odin REALLY enjoys to "setupconnection" with my phone. So much so it stays there for 10+ mins. I've heard people say that the PDA check box causes this issue. I've flashed to stock before and it hasn't been an issue until now. I was wondering if I can leave out the PDA.zip just to get back to stock 2.1. Would there be many ill effects? Especially if I'm just going to flash to a custom ROM?
I was on CM7 Nightly build 14. I attempted to recover back to Phoenix Ultimate using CWM. It failed when installing something that had to do with boot. Should I also add a bootloader file to the Odin install?
Thanks!
Just restart your PC and try one click odin...if Odin 1.8 is detecting then one click odin should also detect IMO...
I am not 100% sure but you do need PDA to flash to stock...try Icezar's package, its safest way to flash to stock..
Not really an answer to your question, but did you have repartition checked when you used odin? To return stock?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I did have re-partition clicked. I got the same results with and without it clicked. I had it showing up in Odin 1 click, but that got stuck with file analysis or the like. Now I have the Phone ! PC screen and I'm not sure how to proceed.
EDIT: Sorry for lying, back in download.
EDIT: Using Icezar's Package

So, Odin was flashing and the battery fell out. /cry
JIG now opens Phone ! PC screen and the Odin won't recognize it. I've had Odin opened first and loaded all information before hand. No luck so far.
Any tips?

[Q] What happened to my Note? Revival ideas?

Hi guys, I am desperate and in need of help ...apparently my Note decided to die on me and I think I just made it worse. Please whoever has any suggestions please help me.
For a good while now I had been running Paranoid Android without any problems whatsoever until last friday my phone woke up stuck on the start screen (the one that says GT-N7000). Please note that NO changes were made to the system nor were any new apps installed. Rebooting the phone resulted in the same situation.
After noticing that it was stuck, I figured I would go into recovery and try clearing cache as that sometimes will help, to my surprise the phone was unable to go into recovery, it would just present a blank screen.
I could still go into download mode, so I thought I would go back to stock through ODIN eand re-root and re-flash, when i tried this ODIN hanged at this point:

I tried several GB and two JB stock ROMs, both ended up with the same results. I also tried flashing this through ODIN 1.83, 1.85 and 3.07 with no luck.
Then I got worried that my phone had somehow gotten bricked (overnight with no change which I know does not make sense), and I found forest1971 thread on how to revive a bricked Note. Following this thread I tried all PIT files from 2.0 up to 2.5 and ODIN hanged at this point:

<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
After this I got really desperate, so I went ahead and tried the manual method, and tried flashing Speedmod kernel in order to be able to access recovery again as is instructed in the thread. ODIN hangs during this process as well, thus not installing the Kernel but it did give me the yellow triangle and increased my binary flash count. I had managed to avoid this throughout my whole 10 months of owning the phone by doing things correctly, and now I cannot send it to Samsung even though I would still have 2 months worth of warranty eliminating the possibility of sending it back to them.
So in summary I can't access recovery, I can't flash a stock ROM, I can't flash kernels and now I have the yellow triangle. Please also note that I have tried with several USB cables, updated drivers and several PCs.
What can I do about this? Is there still some sort of hope for my phone? Can the triangle be somehow removed without access to recovery or the ROM? and finally how on earth could my phone do this from one night to the other without me installing or doing anything to it?
Thank you very much, any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Gear Update Bricked

Hi Everyone, i have searched through the forums and tried what has been said, but still no luck. I have a galaxy Gear V700
I tried numerous times on kies to update and it just would not play ball at all.Even leaving it over night, thinking maybe it is downloading something.
Today i have used Odin today, and flashed with V700XXUCNF1_V700OXACNF1_BTU
Within Odin it does the following
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
then it freezes. Because it had froze for about 25 minutes, i unpluged the Gear, to try again. All of a sudden Odin jumped up and said failed, and the Gear now is stuck with "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Problem is Kies 2 and 3 do not recognise the watch anymore. Odin seems to recognise it but wont allow me to do anything . I have tried using Odin to flash an original stock image, and have even tried the earlier Tizan.
I am still stuck...
I am a complete newbie on here and do not really know much about the phones and watches, but got so frustrated at not being able to upgrade the traditional way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Many thanks
I am now getting this in Odin 3.09, so it seems to be going a little further, but still fails at the end

You have to update to Tizen version NE9 first through ODIN 3.09, then update to NF1. Do not skip this step.

Many thanks
That has fixed it..... SO basically what i was doing i think, was flashing it with an update to Tizan, not the update from android to Tizan. DOH
Thanks to all that helped
