[Q] Phone is a brick after deleting framework-res, help?

K so like an idiot i deleted framework-res, and now my phone turns on to a black screen. I've tried to reflash it with odin and odin 1 click, but it always gets stuck at "file analysis". I don't get why because I used odin 1 click to install froyo in the first place so I know it works.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do, as I can't get any files on or off my phone because ADP will always say the device is not connected.

if its stuck at file analysis keep fiddling until it goes past that for instance plug in into download mode with it open and then unplug and replug it in. just keep trying.

i've been trying for hours... rebooting.. reinstalling.. everything. it won't get past File Analysis...

Are you trying to use the odin 1click to flash back to jf6? That might work.

nope, still hangs at File Analysis

i have done the same and now back up i used an old odin to go back to original stock and then updated to froyo after. If you can use sdk adb reboot recovery and fromat your sd card then try odin again this worked for me

maybe try restarting computer. make sure you dont have anything adb related running. pull battery. start odin one click. put battery back in. hold vol-up and down at same time(just the vol. buttons no power) plug in usb from comp. to your phone while you still have the vol. buttons held. should be in download mode. click start.
and if you wanna try pushing a new framework, i guess you could try to boot into recovery and adb should see it then as debugging mode is auto on in recovery mode. let us know.

Are you using 64 bit Windows 7? I am and had a similar problem. On my original attempts to flash my phone with earlier versions of Cognition, I learned that if you don't disable the lagfix, you can have a problem. Assuming you used one I hope you disabled it. I also used odin 1-click at the time and it didn't work terribly well, mostly due to the voodoo lagfix ext4 filesystem.
Secondly, I've also found that it's best to go into download mode using the following method:
I do a battery pull, remove sim and sdcard (if you have one), put battery back in. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of those front USB ports (they sometimes don't get enough juice, you wouldn't want the device to disconnect in the middle of a flash). Hold volume up/down and plug in the USB cable. Odin one click should recognize the phone is hooked up to a COM port. At that point, you click the start button and it flashes. It should not take more than 1-2 minutes to flash. If Odin looks like it it is not working, rather it sits at Verifying or does not actually move at a brisk pace, it's not going to work. You can let it sit for hours and it will never flash. If this happens, do the battery pull and try again. My first time doing this was rather nerve wracking as i thought i bricked my phone. Had the screen with the phone/exclamation mark/computer and the computer did not detect my phone via USB. I've seen people who say reinstalling the Samsung drivers or rebooting the computer or switching USB ports might help as well.
Ever since i figured out the above, i've been able to flash my Captivate on Win 7 64bit without a hitch. Currently running the latest build of Cognition 2.2 and loving it.

I've done all of the above and Odin hangs on Verifying, ADB gives the same error message on every "ADB" command : "error: device offline: (while in recovery mode)
My computer/Odin does recognize that it's plugged in, but it won't mount and let me into the SD card or format it, etc.

You should post what you did to fix it in case someone has the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes he should.

What did you do to fix it? Do tell.

10 bucks says he succeeded once he read the directions properly.
Reading is hard, that is why so few people do it.

Same exact thing happened to to me 2 days ago. All I did was:
1)take the battery and SIM card out, wait a few seconds,
2)run Odin3 on my PC and hookup the USB cable to the phone while still off
3) hold both Volume buttons down while phone is off and connected
3)at the same time, slide in the battery with 1 finger or have someone do it
4)keep volume keys held down as the battery is installed and my phone turned on straight into download mode
5) phone pops up in Odin3 and just click Start, flashed to stock JH6
I am 80% sure I wasn't holding the power button while holding the Vol keys. If that doesn't work above ^^^ hold all 3 buttons and it should go into download mode.

so.. I fubard framework.apk trying to get teh circle battery mod on my phone (it just hung forever and *poof* black screen o' nothing after I pulled the battery)
So.. I'm following the directions but windows keeps finding the phone as some type of crazy serial device and is asking for drivers ... so I'm fux0red methinks.
Any help is appreciated - but I think I did a real number on this thing.

Ok... these are the steps I've done.
Shutdown the device.
Pulled battery, Sim, SD Card.
Popped the battery back in.... didn't power it up.
Turned on Odin3
Popped the USB cable into the phone while holding both volume buttons.
I get the lil triangle.
... then I get a windows message stating "SERIAL GADGET" and the XP wizard comes up looking for drivers. It doesnt find anything of course.
So.. I rinse and repeat and it can't find the device.
So what am I missing o wise XDA folks?

Have you searched for the drivers and installed them on your xp machine?
I'm still a noob so I'm not sure of it will help.
Please though, once you get it sorted please post your solution here for the benefit of those whip comer after you.
Good luck!

Get the right drivers if you havent already and find the USB port that works. Post 8 above is very good. On my netbook, only one of the three usb ports works for the captivate, i've marked it since with a happy face.

Ok.. at home now on my Win7 machine - all is good in Odin restore land...
Except - I flash using the Odin 1 Click and still boot to a black screen.
I think because I had the Voodoo lagfix on it - it won't format correctly and load the rest of the ROM onto the SDCard

I know,Another Bricked Phone...sigh

I had loaded the ginger clone rom and all was well. I then however wanted to swap kernels so i loaded up seitrons cwm 1.5.6 and proceeded to flash through cwm. this has now become the worst day of my life. the phone will not boot past the galaxy s screen. i cannot not get into recovery and both computers now say usb device not recognized when in download trying to flash odin. i am worried that something is corrupted on my phone because not matter how many times i uninstall and reinstall the drivers no luck. i think it is officially bricked and im sol. maybe some great minds can figure it out here.

It's not bricked - issue is trying to get your computer to recognize your phone when in download mode so you can flash it back.
What OS are you running? Also - where did you download the drivers from? Some seem to work better than others.

If you can get to the galaxy screen you might still be able to to get into recovery. pull out the battery and use the 3 button combo. Hold down both volume button then power and let go of the power button after it turns on. then just reinstall the rom

I'm willing to bet you can also get into Download Mode either with button combos, or a JIG. Once in Download, you can use Odin to restore to JF6, and have a working phone to flash around with again.

i can get into download mode no problem. and i think it is quite possible drivers are corrupted on the phone itself. my wifes phone works on the same exact setup. no usb device not recognized error. i have tried the drivers from here and samsung directly with no luck. 3 button combo does not work. sim out sim in battery out and in. but like i said it will just not register with the comp and hers will. so im going to att and seeing about replacing it. but i will see how that goes. ive done this lots of times with no issues ever.
download works
3 button combo does not so no recovery
usb device not recognized error
thanks for the help and keep it coming i will try everything if i haven't already.

Try current usb port

Think I'm in worse shape. Tried flashing just the kernel to get BLN working again (last ROM I put on somehow loaded a non-compatible kernel). Now the phone boots the white ATT screen and just sits there. Can't get it into D/L mode with 3-button and doesn't respond to computer I have been using to flash ROMs for a couple weeks now...
Am I hosed? ANY help would be greatly appreciated...

You could try to use a JIG to force your phone into Download Mode

Okay...well, got into D/L mode finally. Used Odin to get it back to factory. Used the One Click rooter again, except now it boots to recovery 3e, which doesn't let my power button work as the okay button Pulling the battery to reset it, but it will no longer go into D/L mode to use Odin again. It keeps booting to the recovery Utils, which I cant get out of...*sigh*
Thoughts?

at least your able to do something i still cannot get my phone into recovery or to be recognized by the computer. it is not the drivers so i have no idea. i can only think that something got funked up with the kernel flash.

if you are getting into 3e recovery then you are most certainly NOT using the JF6 one click stock
3e recovery comes on JI6 which is the FroYo leak....completely different builds and roms

have you tried a different usb cable? I was having this problem, and the stock samsung cable was B.O. and wasnt working... i tried my blackberry one and all was good

I just want to quote this to stress the importance.

Thank you, didn't realize that (still sorta new to this)...
I downloaded a zip (I thought from here somewhere) that extracted into the 4 files. Anyone got a link to the JH6 set of files?
I also downloaded DG's "One Click Odin", but it doesn't seem to really do anything when I run it unless I manually load all the files. Also, I don't see a "Master Clean" like the post refer too

are you sure you downloaded the right odin? in the one click version, theres no option to load files at all. only a "start" and "master clear"
make sure the odin one click is open before you connect your phone.

You guys rock! I don't know how, cause I could have sworn I D/L'd it from that link before and I got the generic Odin, but it looks like I have the right one now! Thank you for your patience with us noobs as we start getting into this new world!

I was having the same problem. Have you tried powering off, start odin, hold both the volume up/down, then plug in the usb to your phone?

BRICKED 1st post edited.

EDIT:
odin crashed while going back to stock then
my phone will get to download mode buuuuut.. my computer doesnt recognize my phone...
i re-downloaded drivers and the phone is recognized however odin failed the 2 times i got it in dl mode(took about an hour to get it each time)... so i have a jig ordered but with odin not working im not feeling optimistic

nothing seems to happen when its plugged into the wall no battery icon. i reinstalled drivers hoping that would help with no luck.. i just got it back in dl mode after like an hour of it not turning on for me but it doesnt do anything once i get it there.

Get odin3 one click and use it in dl mode. It will brg ur phone back to stock

definately problem of bad USB..either cable or port....try using different USB cable or different computer....Use full odin by iCezar...its with minimum risk....specially very beneficial in cases like yours....

my pc doesnt see my phone. thats the issue i cant use odin. and the only thing my phone will do is glow black or go to download mode, idk if its charging but its getting hard to get it in dl mode, multiple tries atm no luck
i have already tried reinstalling the drivers. what are they called so i can delete them and install again rather then just redownload maybe that will help?

nope this only happened AFTER my crash on odin. my pc has always seen the phone.

try connecting your phone to pc when odin is already running. See whether it detects. Mine worked this way.

thats not a big deal, just get it in download mode, and flash it with odin.
EDIT: might as well us this post to say what my computer says with usb since i got in in dl mode again...
USB device not recognized
one of the usb devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it.
then something about for assistance in solving this issue click here

this has happened to me acouple times, the first was my fault I pull the usb before odin finished. I could get back into Download mode but Odin would not see the phone and computer would not recognize the phone either, device not recognized.
I tried rebooting, re-installing drivers etc. did not work.
but after an hour or so I finally got it to recognize and odin'd back to stock and back to flashing I was.
this is what I did hope it works for you.
1. disconnect all usb devices
2. un-install captivate drivers
3. reboot computer
4. goto device manager and verify that there is no USB device errors, if there is delete them and reboot again verify again in device manager.
5. install captivate drivers
6. reboot computer
7. start ODIN (DG or iCezars, iCezars is safer)
8. plug USB cable into the computer first (the one that came with the phone not an after market one)
9. hold both up and down volume buttons on the phone
10. plug the usb cable into the phone quickly to get into download mode (if I plugged the phone is slowly ODIN did not recognize the phone no COM, once I did it quick and it picked it up)
11. push START as soon as ODIN shows the COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 etc (this had to be done quickly too, If i waited ODIN would show the COM but still would not start flashing back to stock)
this worked for me more than once I hope it helps you good luck

oh ok thanks, ill give that a try when i get off of work. i hope my battery doesnt die idk if its charging or not

well no luck even getting back to download mode. i bought a jig so i guess im waiting and trying while i wait.

i keep reading its possible to completely brick if odin fails... did i perma brick?

well a bump of sorts, the jig should come in the mail tomorrow. i miss my phone

jig came in the mail, im working on a few failed odin3 attempts but as i freaked out and started typing this post it seems like a great success. the jig works wonderful

I have not had to do this but I know some others had issues with Odin and had to right click on Odin and run as administrator for it to work. Also the Odin 1 click should work in almost any situation to get you back to stock. The only worry (again never had the problem) is that depending on the build version of the phone you could lose the three button recovery. Look for the Odin that DG posted.

Did you try a jig?

Made a boo-boo switching to serendipity.. bricked...

So I was trying to go from serendipity 6.4 to 7...
I was following the directions on the serendipity site, got to the point where it was supposed to be flashing the new boot loader and gingerbread. Odin sat on "zImage" for about 15 minutes before i decided for some reason that it was frozen and that unplugging it and trying again might help...
now the only thing I can get from the phone is a black screen with red and green dots when i try to get to download mode.
any suggestions??
Elliot

zImage is the kernel. This should recoverable
Did it get passed boot.bin and sbl.bin? If so you've got the new boot loaders. vol down and power to get to DL mode. Since odin hung and was disconnected before completion the image for DL mode might not even be on the phone. Try that combo (or better yet a jig) then whatever screen it boots into hook it up to odin and try flashing just xcals gb kernel. If it's not in DL mode it will just hang on "setting up connection."

Got it to what is now just a white fuzzy screen (not giving me the black with dots anymore) and the computer doesn't recognize im plugging anything in. about to head to radio shack to source a jig.
Assuming im not completely water-headed, there should be a screenshot of my odin attempt, for your viewing pleasure...

if thats the first fail, then the bootloaders were never flashed so try the old button combo... switch usb ports first of all no matter if you try the next peice of advice or not anytime odin fails you should swap usb ports(always making sure its on the back, no hubs or front ports)...open odin, hold volume buttons and plug in usb chord on your phone...
a jig is always a good idea... i made mine before i ever flashed anything so i knew i would have an out if things went sour.

finally got it to download mode, but now im frozen at "param.lfs" after "firmware update start"...
Thank you so much for the prompt help studa, I really appreciate it

Hmmm...not your day huh? If it's frozen you have no choice but to disconnect. All the damage has been done. When you disconnect now you will most likely get the "clay" screen: phone....!.....pc and like I said before the download mode image might be missing. But this should still be recoverable
What version of odin is that? The earlier versions tend to freeze up more. go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 don't worry about the firmwares just at the bottom there is a few versions of odin. 1.7, 1.81 and 1.82 try one of those.

Fortunately, I am apparently allowed a few more tries... it keeps letting me go back to download mode after it inevitably freezes at either "param.lfs" or "zImage"...

[Q] Phone Exclamation Point Computer

Got stuck here working with a friend's captivate. We were in the process of cobbling together a jig when we notices that Odin seemed to recognize the phone whenever it was at the P!C screen.
The jig wasn't working out (resistors were 5% weaker than nominal), so we just gave Odin the go ahead at the P!C screen. To our surprise, a progress bar popped up on the phone and Odin successfully flashed the stock kernel back on.
So my question is, is the P!C screen just another face for download mode? Do you really need to jig from P!C to DL mode, or are you already there?

Not 100% of the time, but most of the time yes.

Cool, that makes life easier. When it isn't, does Odin not pick it up? Or does it show but fail to flash? Just trying to get an idea of how these things act when they're pseudo-bricked. I'm coming from Droid X land where 2nd-init and SBF solve everything.

Odin will only find the phone if it can get into download mode. (Usually vol up + vol down > plug in cable)

Not true, Odin shows a com port when booted into Android and in recovery. But will only succeed if download mode protocol is initiated on the phone.

And to further add clarity, it's only the phone-!-computer screen that says "Hardware Upgrade Failure" (or something like that) that doubles as download mode. Coincidentally, that is only found in Gingerbread bootloaders. Happy Flashing

"Firmware upgrade failed" and even that's not completely true...if the flash you're attempting fails before the image for download mode is rewritten, then when download mode is initiated there is nothing to call on but that "flash failed screen" regardless of bootloaders.
That happened to me on my sisters captivate once...with eclair boots.

Weird. So, that would explain our situation. The flash failed while it was trying to negotiate the connection with the phone (or something worded like that, one of the first steps). So this jig is for real huh... Nothing like that in DROIDX land. Now that we've got it built right (no multimeter at the time, 301.6k ohms now) can we test it without altering anything? In other words, if we initiate download mode with the jig does any other kind of hard reset happen? NAND wipe or something like that? Or can we jig in to download mode to test the jig, then battery pull and reboot normally? (without plugging it in to a computer obviously - just a dry run)

Yeah, forcing dl mode shouldn't hurt anything. How do you think they test the ones that they make?

And you don't even need to yank the battery..just hold all 3 buttons and it'll reboot, if you hold them slightly too long it'll boot into recovery, but you can reboot it from there no big deal

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll test it out tomorrow and see if my handiwork paid off. These unlocked bootloaders are fun! I do love my droid x but maybe the Verizon Galaxy S (fascinate?) would have been a good pick too.
Tangent: my friend is now up and running with the Corn KK4 7.06 under the stock ROM, got his root back. Next step, rom land.
