Hi all
I stupidly upgraded to 2.2.1 the other night and for the last 2 days I have been trying to connect to the phone via Odin so I can apply the 2e Recovery and put Darky 8.0 on.
The problem I am having is that every time I try to apply the PDA file (from xda-devs), it just gets stuck on SetupConnection (I have booted the phone into Recovery mode). I have tried it on my Win7 x64 PC and I have tried it on my WinXP x86 laptop, same result. I have tried Odin 1.0, 1.3 and 1.7. I have uninstalled the Kies drivers, installed older ones, installed newer ones...nothing. I have tried removing the SD card, nothing.
Odin sees the phone when I plug it in, it show me the COM port and it says "Added!".
I'm at my wits end! 2.2.1 has fixed nothing for what I use, GPS is still rubbish, OneClickLagFix doesn't work on this version and they've put in this ridiculous 3e Recovery. So basically Samsung will not only not give us (in the UK) a decent version of their ridiculous firmware, but they have taken away our ability to fix up their garbage firmwares!
If anyone could help me get around this Odin problem, I would be most grateful! Thanks
If not, I'm going to get shut of this pile of pants and get a proper Android phone (which I don't want, because I really can see the potential)
Cheers!
You could try Heimdall instead of Odin its on the forum .
Odin sees the phone when I plug it in, it show me the COM port and it says "Added!"
Sounds like a duff file maybe .
I have flashed CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
at least twenty times in the last month without a problem .

Hi
I have Heimdall, but I don't see which box to put the tar file in... There are several options under PDA/Code
Thanks for your reply
Edit: OK so my best guess is to put it under zImage. Done that, connected phone in Recovery for BML and the Start button stays greyed out.
Edit2: Do I need a .pit file? The instructions for CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1 don't mention one...
Edit3: Still with Heimdall, I unzipped the .tar so I have zImage unpacked, the Start button lit up, I click it:"Failed to detect a compatible device"
Edit4: Tried to downgrade to 2.1 Eclair using samfirmwares. Odin goes through md5 checks, they all pass and then....SetupConnection... What's going on?
Solved!
I used the Down Volume instead of Up Volume.
Yes! I solved too with this board. Thanks!

This happened to me as well, but I got through it. I rebooted the computer, changed the usb port used, I shut down the phone, took the battery out and put it back in, then brought it back into download mode (I couldn't get it back into download mode after shutting it down from download mode itself) and proceeded exactly as the instructions said. Also, I ticked the repartition checkbox in Odin. One of these things made the flash work, but I can't honestly say which. Either way, file analysis is supposed to last for just a few seconds - if it lasts more than that, then something went wrong.
Unplug it and reboot PC and phone then try again it should work.
Reboot your pc and shutdown kies if it autoruns, then fire up odin and connect your phone.

Ok i'll try your way. But yea, ive ticked repartition too, but im always stuck there regardless of what port im using. hmm..
try booting into recovery and doing a hard reset first
I had the exact same problem, fixed by simply rebooting my Windows 7 64-bit PC.
Also try using the other PIT file (I first tried 513 which didn't work for me, but 512 then did).
I had the same problem today evening. Fortunately I had another PC to try Odin and it worked!
Had the exact same problem a couple of days ago, posted it in the FAQ thread. Computer reboot fixed it.
Had the same problem, changed language and locale settings in Windows to English and that fixed it for me.
for me.. it only was that i'Ve forgotten to remove the sim card...
did it.. and the file analysis took only a second ;-)
Some precautions to take when flashing with odin!
1. Remove SD and SIM card
2. On windows 7 run Odin as Administrator and in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode! (the last part solved the file analysis for me!)
3. First start Odin and load all the files: PDA = Code, Modem = Phone, CSC = CSC
4. Use 512.pit
5. Then boot up phone in download mode with usb disconnected
6. Make sure kies is not running!
7. Plugin usb cable
8. Start flashing!
That should do the trick!
Thanks XDA
Same issue, thought I'd bricked it but thankfully the reboot worked

Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

I think that you may need to use the Froyo Odin (JI6).

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...
I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.
That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!
went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!
odin doesnt reconize phone
which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.
And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.

Yep, tried the Odin one click - caught in a boot loop with the AT&T Logo. I have yet to try the Heimdall one.
UPDATE
Tried Odin and Heimdall One-Clicks - unsuccessful. I'm think I will need the stock Eclair firmware file with Odin and the pit file.

You ever get this to work? - I'm in a similar situation. all flashes 'work' but get stuck at ATT on boot. Not sure Eclair is an option or not since mine is a refurbished phone that started on 2.2

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

I have a question about the Odin3 program used to restore phone. I have followed this thread and done all of the things it says and I can not get the application to work. I have downloaded the drivers and done this step by step and I must be doing something wrong. I have no idea what to do. I have removed the sd card and the sim card, put the phone into downliad mode by method 2. After I click start on the program, I get to the file analysis part and then the program just sits there. I have waited for 45 minutes and nothing.
Please help! I flash cognition 4.3.2 over perception build 9.5 and now my phone will not turn on. It is stuck in a loop between the cognition start up screen and then goes to recovery and then keeps cycling. What should i do? Thanks in advance!!!
odin sometimes locks up. try again. the only real Problem that can really happen with ODIN is that it doesnt see your phone.
try rebooting your computer. force closing odin didnt help the person i helped before,
When I plug the phone into the computer, it says added on the Odin program. Is this correct? I have never used the Odin program before. After added, it says Odin v3, then it goes to file analysis....... It never leaves this point. Where can I find more information on this topic. Cant get to a restore point either, think I am in trouble!!!!!

if the box turns yellow and says "phone connected" in the info box. its good to go. just try again.
I am running as an administrator. When I connect the phone, I got a yellow boxd, but never says phone connected. It say 0com3) or whatever uusb port I am connecting to. I reinstalled drivers and program and keep getting the same thing. Is Odin3 v1.00 the right version. I thought I saw on here earlier that Odin had a v1.52. Am I running the wrong version?

ODIN3 1.0 is the ODIN one click
the versioning on the one click has nothing to do with the versioning on the full ODIN.....
actually he never said weather or not hes using oding one click or the full odin flashing program.
but it would make sense.
Build code?
was flashing with odin and went bad now i get msg firmare upgrade fail with picture of phone yellow exclamation mark and computer. i even bought a jig and still only boots to that. not sure what else i can do??
any suggestions??
The jig should do it. Sometimes that screen is download mode, even though its the soft brick picture. Try hooking it up to odin. If odin recognizes the device you should be able to flash back to stock fine.

yea u should still be able to flash after jigging it. its happened to me like that b4 exact same thing
what quar said
Thanks for the quick responses, it worked and i'm back up. I tryed that days ago wonder why it worked all the sudden.
Again thanks
i have the same problem. Except when running odin it just sits at set pit file.
Tried diff odin files. diff cord and usb port
Try Heimdall. Apex ROM has files and good instructions.
Odin never worked for me.

Hi everyone!
I have been reading all the posts I can to see if there was anything similar to what has happened to me. So this is the issue. The phone model is Samsung Galaxy S I9000GT
Last night I flashed my phone to install CyanogenMod and did the following steps:
Got it into Download mode with the three buttons
installed the Samsung USB composite device driver
Ran zadig.exe of the Heimdall Suite
Launched Heimdall frontend
unzipped Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel
ran the zImage of the Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel on Heimdall frontend (it was supposed to show a blue bar transfer but it was the normal green one on win7) it went to 100% and rebooted. It was showing the normal boot loop screen and then I tried to get it onto recovery mode and it went nuts.
After this, the phone went soft-bricked with the pc (problem icon) cellphone icons, I am able to get it onto Download Mode but unable to put it on Recovery Mode, I would like to put it on CM7 if possible, the only thing the phone does now is to get on the soft-bricked screen and on Download Mode, I have tried pluging it onto different machines running ODIN, a win7 and win XP, both 32 bit and none of them is able to recognize it, it is recognized as Gadget Device on the win XP machine, on the win7 with kies it just loops on the connecting icon, on Heimdall it doesn't recognize it at all... any ideas of what to do?
Make sure Kies is off and dead (check task manager processes for all kies related). Then try Odin.
Try cleaning the USB ports (phone/computer cable) as sometimes when the device is almost recognized that helps.
Did you try to get into recovery before it had fully flashed (ie rebooted and then gotten all the way to the homescreen)? If you tried to go into recovery during the first boot sequence then I could see having issue.
That being said, if you can get into download mode you likely only have an issue with 1) Driver (I would remove and reinstall) 2)Ports/cables (Clean and then Clean again - really I helped someone this morning that cleaned once but still had issues and then cleaned again and got it done) 3)Kies is active when it shouldn't be (like most of the time IMHO).
Also try to remove the battery, go into recovery and then immediately connect to odin. Once in odin, I'd flash a complete rom with pit file (and make sure it has all the files or you'll get a mounting error). But the key is getting Odin or Heimdall to see the phone.

thank you very much! it is now recognizable on Odin!!!!
So I have the 512.pit file but I don't have the PDA, Modem, Bootloader, CSC files, do you know where can I get them? I have already downloaded the CM7 zip file

Samfirmware.com will have a stockfirmware that should have them (but make sure all the files that create the partitions are there if you re-pit - my stock firmware does not have db_data on samfirmware but its needed for flashing with a pit file) though they are usually all packed in one file for the PDA spot.
But stock is likely not what you want. Just flash darky anything and which will get you CWM recovery which is what you want for CM7 (which I had problem trying - write down you Imei and back up you efs folder...).

Hello!
So I have already installed about 3 firmwares succesfully to my phone, the problem is that none of them recognizes the SIM Card, therefore rendering it useless again, I have installed 2 9000T (latinamerica version) and the 9000B and 9000M just to check, currently on Eclair on the 9000T with no option for upgrading it through kies. I just want to go back to the old firmware but I can't get to the one that is the one for my region apparently correct. Does having the SIM card in while flashing it and such has any effect on it being unable to recognize it?
No sim shouldn't matter. Have you tried changing the csc so it's your region?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
As you may see, I am total noob on this, how can I get the CSC file for my region or how can I change it?
Thank you very much
