After installing eSPyeL's ROM Beta3.5 I'm wanting to go back to stock.
I can get to download mode, but my computer doesn't recognize the device ONLY WHEN IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
I have drivers installed and can work with the phone in any other mode.
What am I missing?
I tried to do a flash of the voodoo kernel and now I'm stuck in a bootloop
never mind
Downloaded drivers from this site instead of samsung. all better now

My I9000 is stuck on the boot screen, after trying to install EZbase (was stock eclair). Odin/heimdall don't see the phone in download mode. I CAN get into recovery mode.. i have Clockwokmod recovery 2.5.1.0 speedmod ULFK on there. I have tried a factory reset, but this didn't help.
So what do i do here?
I am under the impression i need to flash with an update.zip; but i don't have a clue what should be my update.zip.
Sorry if this has been asked many times, but i searched and have read many threads and got nowhere.
ok well download the android SDK tools and isntall all the USB drivers. Unplug your USB cable and change the port from the one you are using, boot your phone into download mode, once in download mode fire up ODIN v 1.7 and plug your phone in, it should find it in odin, once you can see it in odin you should be able to continue flashing EZbase and then onto Cyanogen if that is what you were trying to do
Once you get odin to recognize your phone in download mode you need to flash a Kernel/Rom

do you mean Android SDK Starter Package? Or?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
This is what i downloaded; what do i do now? Do i have to run SDK Manager.exe and install java (i would like to avoid this, if i can)??
Thanks for your help.
ya unfortunately you have to install java. so maybe your phone isn't being recognized because your doing it in the wrong order....try this before you install anything, unplug the phone, boot into download mode, fire up odin then plug the phone in. you should see it on some com port on the top left
Ok; Java installed, ran SDK Manager and added Google USB Driver for Windows, Revision 4. [ as developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html ], which is in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
The directions provided by google (url above) suggest plugging the phone in first. This installed the samsung drivers automatically, however.
Odin3 1.7 now showed a port; but the flash stalled at 'SetupConnection..'
I tried using 'update driver' via Device Manager, but all that i see is;
Modems -> SAMSUNG Mobile Modem
Universal Serial Bus controllers -> SAMSUNG USB Composite Device
Neither would update with the drivers in \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
[Also, Yes, I am opening odin and booting in download mode before connecting the USB cable]
Ok try flashing just a kernel go to the Dev section and find a kernel from hardcore it is called speedmod kernel. That should flash in 20 seconds or so. Flash the froyo one he has one for gingerbread so don't use that one they are separate threads so its easy to tell which is which
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
..now if i try to turn the phone on it shows a phone and a PC with a /!\ warning symbol between them, and i can't boot in to recovery mode. I CAN boot into download mode, and the PC makes a noise to acknowledge something has been connected, but Odin doesn't see it.
EDIT: I reinstalled Keis, and selected 'install drivers' on the menu from within the app.. this meant Odin was able to see the phone and i have sucessfully (apparently) updated the kernel to speedmod froyo. The phone is back to the 'Galaxy S' screen again. Now what? How long should the phone take to boot if it is sucessful (ie. how long should i wait before restarting?)
EDIT 2: Ahh, EZbase flash worked too! .. thank F, a working phone!
So i guess the key was to get the drivers (again) from the submenu in the Keis App NOT the android SDK.
Glad it worked out, sorry it took so long to reply, ya after you get a kernel on there then you need to flash a rom again, which is exactly what you did later
I have a Samsung Captivate and its running cyanogenmod 7. I notice the bad battery life so i want to flash back to stock. I usually use odin but with this rom odin is not recognizing the phone. I put my phone in download mode and gadget serial pops up at the bottom and thats it. Now my phone isnt getting past the att logo. idk what to do for odin to recognize my phone. I have all the captivate drivers. Does it has something to do that my phone thinks its a nexsus S now.
PLEASE HELP
Yes your missing the correct drivers. Check for AOSP or Google usb drivers. CM7 is not based on the SGH-i897 so the drivers wont recognize your phone.
where can i find that. i think i did all of that. today i downloaded android sdk and something google revision 4.some site told me to do that but nothing working. my phone is stuck at the att logo, wont go in recovery, and odin wnt recognize the phone in download mode. idk what to do !

First, uninstall all the captivate-related USB drivers you currently have installed (best to start clean), and reboot your computer.
Then, try doing the instructions on this page. Once you have those drivers installed, reboot your computer and then hook your phone up again. That should (in theory) get you going.
my phone only going in download mode. i tried all that. every time i connect the phone in download mode it says gadget serial

Just install SDK and you will have the drivers. CM7 is based of Nexus S, SKD has those drivers.
then ill be able to use odin ?
I think I have the same problem now..Odin not recognizing my phone..
Tried different cables and different computers with no luck..
Did you guys find a way to fix it?
Hi everyone
So here it is : No program is able to recognize/detect my Galaxy S i9000M (Bell Vibrant) when it's in download mode, so I can't flash any ROM. My phone is currently fully bricked and unusable. I cannot access to the recovery mode with the three-button thingy or by "adb reboot recovery"
I bricked using Odin 1.8, trying to flash a 2.2 froyo stock ROM from Samfirmware. The flashing went ok, but it failed to reboot. Actually, the screen was turned off and nothing was happening. I figured out it was fully bricked so I made a USB JIG, it worked. I can access my download mode.
I connected the phone to my Windows 7 computer and used Odin to flash back to 2.1 Eclair, with a stock ROM from Samfirmware. It failed (I don't remember the error message, it was a couple days ago...).
I tried with Heimdall Frontened. It had a problem uploading the .pit file, so the flashing didn't work.
Now each time i connect the phone to my computer, Windows (and Heimdall frontened and Odin) doesn't detect it,which means that I can't flash anything on it even though it is in download mode.
I have tried reinstalling like every driver on earth, still not responding.
I tried on another Windows 7 machine and on Ubuntu, the device is not detected.
I tried with different USB cables, nothing happens.
This is my hypothesis (maybe silly) : Could the problem be the Download mode being corrupted?
Whatever... I could use some help from you guys.
Thank you,
Sam
I had/have the same problem.
I installed the Samsung Kies and now my computer recognize my phone again.
But I have still no idea what I need to flash to make my phone working.

That is strange... I tried installing Kies and it didn't detect the phone. And you could just flash any 2.3 stock ROM with Odin I guess.
Hi
I wanna return to stock 3.2 via pc odin.
But whenever i tried to open download mode, saying continue "Charging process" is starting.
I am using AOKP ics 35
Thanks.
Suggestion
Hey do you have the samsung drivers also installed on your computer? It wont go to ready/start mode in odin3 until the drivers are installed if you do that you should have no problem returning to stock with odin...I just had to do that last night in order for odin to recognize my tablet...I would post links but I cant yet :?
Here is a copy of the Samsung driver attached.
http://netload.in/datei6vGwThaewb/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_1.5.4.0.zip.htm
It's about 23MB in size. Download to desktop, unzip, and install
I really dont know what is happening with my phone, after i flash a custom rom it just didn't boot propely and then just keep rebooting itself. If i try to enter in recovery it just keep rebooting, same thing if i try to start normally, actually i can access to download mode but my computer doesn't detect my device, even in offline charge mode. I already tried to install the usb drivers but it showns an error after the installation process finish, also my computer doesn't show any USB device connected. Any suggestion? i got access to download mode but cannot flash an stock rom because my pc doesn't want to install the drivers (at least in my opinion), any help please?
same problem here..... i dont know what do too
have you tried to connect via odin & flash stock rom? which custom rom were you trying to install, have you installed other custom roms before?
