now my phone is bricked (Expensive stone) because my usb debugging is off and the odin do not recornize my captivate in downloading mode!!
What i can do now? How i fix debugging ON that i can flash my phone again to stock etc..

USB debugging has nothing to do with it.
you need to get ODIN to recognize your phone. sounds like driver problems

I install odin drivers for captivate 32bit and my windows 7 don't recognize my phone, also odin do not recognize.. i test Downloading Mode.. Is usb debugging off or on with Downloading Mode?
also sdk manager installed with google samsung drivers..
Anybody else that having this recognize issues with windows 7? what to do that recognize are working

In CWM, check to see if you have the option to Root. If you do, apply Root and try flashing the rom again.
I had similar issues with 2 roms with similar errors and I had to apply root in CWM and re-flash and it went trough fine.

USB DEBUGGING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DOWNLOAD MODE!
usb debugging only has an effect if you are ALREADY booted or currently BOOTING beyond the splash screen. it doesnt matter for download mode...period.

this is one of the most ridiculous things i have read today. root also only applies to the OS....from within recovery or download mode, you arent in the OS...so root doesnt mean SH** within recovery

Don't be a dip****,. I was stating my experience.
From stock 2.1 I could not install Continuum v4 in recovery and got a similar error for E:/
I had to flash a SpeedMod based kernel in recovery and root first before the rom would go all the way trough to flash properly!
It only happens to certain roms...other roms can just flash in recovery from stock no problem without rooting first.

This statement thus proves you have no idea what you are talking about. When you understand how a Rom flash works, then you can come back to the discussion. In the meantime, try reading an update-script or 2

You said that you installed the 32 bit drivers for windows 7? Unless you are running a netbook or installed Win 7 on an older computer you probably need the 64 bit drivers. Most newer laptops these days are 64 bit OS. You can check by right clicking on "my computer" and selecting properties. It will say whether you are running 32 or 64 bit.
I also recommend downloading kies (samsung sync software). You can get it off the Samsung website under downloads. Once it's installed and opened, under tools, you can select install drivers. Go through that process and then close kies (make sure it isn't still running in your system tray), open odin and try to connect in download mode again. Don't forget basic troubleshooting like trying a different USB port if the first one doesn't work the first time.......

[Q] Bricked? VZW SGT Stuck on Battery Meter after VZW Bootstrapper

As title says... After installing and using VZW Bootstrapper + KashMek ROM SGT stuck on Battery Meter...
I've tried Power+Vol Up but nothing happens... screen flickers.
I've searched the forum for this one but nothing... Any input? Anything else I could try?
Thanks in advance.

Same thing happened to me last week. I had to heimdall back to stock
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
i gave up on getting a rom to boot properly and settled with kashmek's voodoo kernel
oh, and following this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998658
word for word got the bootstrapper to successfully work for me and the clockworkmod fun began.

Thanks for your reply.... I was able to boot to Download Screen but my problem right now is that Heimdall will not recognize the tablet... I followed the instructions about the drivers but to no avail. I get an "Error 12 Failure to access device"
Got it working... Thanks for Your help.

I cant figure out error 12 either... mine is even more bricked than that and I dont understand why its still being recognized by odin and not heimdall. and it runs through stock firmware flash with odin says pass but when its done the screen is still black someone help

For the error 12 issue, this means you don't have the Heimdall driver installed. ODIN uses a seperate driver than Heimdall so you can't use both at the same time. If in download mode ODIN sees the device, this means that the ODIN driver is installed. To install the Heimdall driver and learn more about it, just check out my video:

[Q] Several Issues....

First off, I am in need to flash back to stock and un-install clockworkmod...
Here's the kicker...
I lost usb connection. All I get is Unknown Device now when connected to the pc (xppsp3), where it used to connect just fine. All the drivers in the world have not seem to make a difference on the pc or the laptop, the usb seems dead to the world, datawise, charging still functions.
Which means my odin oneclick is a no go.
I can ftp into the captivate so I can upload a new rom image for clockwork recovery, however, all I
can find for stock firmware is in .tar format for use with odin, or a self extracting executable to be used when/if there is usb connection.
So I guess the simplest question would be.. is there a plain ol' copy of the I897UCJI6 rom w/o odin self extractor?
Or... am I going about this completely wrong?
TIA...

Can you get your phone into download?

I don't know the answer to your question about the CWM stock package, but I have some troubleshooting things to suggest:
Does your pc allow other USB connections with other devices? If so, that likely rules out the pc as the issue.
It's possible your cable decided to head south - if you have a chance to try your phone on someone else's computer, see if you can get it to recognize the phone there.
If not, see if you can get your hands on another cable and see if you can get a connection that way.
I'm guessing you've probably tried some or all of these things, but I just thought I'd put them up to be thorough.

Been there at nauseum lengths..
Sure, I can get into download mode. Problem is phone it's an unknown device, and hence windows/linux cannot see it...using
several machine/cabling combinations...

CWM is either part of the kernel (depending on what kernel you're using) or an update.zip file on your sd card. It never actually gets flashed in any ultra permanent way. What you can do is simply flash whatever stock rom you want from cwm, then cwm will either disappear on it's own or you can just delete the update.zip on the sd card.
Be aware that if you're running a non-cm7 based 2.3 rom, you'll need to flash both bootloaders otherwise you'll end up with a permabrick. Easiest way to do that is to use odin and a rom package that includes both bootloaders for the firmware version you want. I wouldn't recommend doing it any other way, so if you're on a 2.3 rom, you should probably try to sort your usb problem first.

Please don't use such lame thread titles. They make the thread useless in a search by someone who is looking for info on a similar or same problem.

I did. I viewed all the previous topics and concluded that the ones with the most views were the topics listed with ambiguous titles.
I just hedged my bet.

The problem lies with the captivate's usb, so I am looking for a way of getting the stock rom into it without odin. I have adbwireless installed, but odin fails to see it, however the command line does using adb connect <ip>...
Current set up is
Captivate
Darky's ROM 8.0(JL3)
Clockwork Mod Recovery is v2.5.1.2

There is a CWM Flashable version of I897UCJH7 2.1.1 located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790080&highlight=i897ucjh7
You could flash this and see if your USB comes back and if it does then go from there.
Hope it helps

I applied the update via cwm.
Now it's stuck in a bootloop to the stock recovery screen or the lame-o
att screen.
Getting back into the recovery only allows access to the stock recovery.
End of story I guess. Anyone know if a downloading jig might be the next step?

[Q] HELP! Really Serious Problem On My SGT gt-p1000

Recently i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab(SGT) GT-p1000 that was brought from Singapore using the oneclickroot method.
My problem began when i heard about using heimdall to flash custom ROMS on the SGT. So i downloaded the Heimdall files and used heimdall frontend to attempt to root my SGT. Before that i had already used the zadig files to install the samsung composite USB driver. However as i boot my SGT into download mood, i accidentally pressed start to flash into my SGT with only the zimage and a wrongly selected Factoryfs file, These were taken from the BOCA rom I wanted to try to install.
Then i think i went into Boca's bootloader but i couldnt do anything. So i tried to reboot the device but it couldnt boot anymore. Just showed and android with an Exclamation mark. So i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966015 and i thought that maybe i could use heimdall to flash back the default files. So i reflashed the new FactoryFS Zimage and Param.ifs provided by this new rom.
Now i can boot the phone normally into froyo 2.21, however now everytime i press the lock button the phone retarts. And everytime i try to connect to the internet using WiFi my phone restarts as well. 3g no longer works too. T_T
I can no longer connect to Kies and i tried reinstalling the drivers again but nothing would fix it. I cant use Heimdall or Odin to flash it anymore, Heimdall faced error -12 and Odin just kept trying to secure connection, but it never passes that point.
IM REALLY LOST AS TO WHAT TO DO. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! PLEASE!

I don´t think this can help.
I think your problem is that you installed a incorrect rom for your tab model.
Download this:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/p1000/downloads/GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip
Reinstall samsung drivers.
and flash the file using odin, repartition checked.

Hmmm... Odin doesn't get connected , so ....

Probably Heimdall will also do the flash for you - Odin is just one Windows-based tool to flash that device. Heimdall should have the same features for differnt platforms (so you can use it also on MAC OSX and Linux)- give Overcome a trial - and don't forget to flash the modem, if you want a fully working device

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me

Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...

Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.

I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.

Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .

Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem

Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..

Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:

6)Flash firmware

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!

No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem. Now i get a mobile network error, with one carrier it works and with another it does not. The mobile network detected is always really low.
