So I am returning my phone to samsung, and need to get it back to stock firmware, but for some reason ODIN is not working. It says 'Can't open the serial(COM) port.'
So I am wondering if there is an .ZIP file of stock Bell i9000M firmware I can flash through clockworkmod?
Thanks!

Stock ROMs by their very nature are provided only in tar's for Odin, as that's how they come from Samsung.
When folks modify them and generate update zips, they typically make them into "custom ROMs" and perform many other changes since there is no sense in re-releasing the same thing.
I would try to get Odin working...make sure you have correct drivers installed, are using a good USB cable, and have Odin 1.3 or 1.7, and that Kies is uninstalled or completely disabled. If necessary try another PC. Odin is the best and easiest way to flash back to stock.
Thank you! I didn't know there was a newer version of ODIN, I was using v1.0, download v1.3 and its working fine!

did you use CWM from Rom Manager?
This is NOT optimized for the SGT.. nor is it encouraged.
Anyhow, have you tried to check if your computer can detect your tab, through Kies or Odin?

You the dude
Sent From (I'm In Luv With My Tab)
similar problem....also stuck on boot
but I got there a different way. (FIXED)
Let me start off by saying I am stupid I have a tmobile tab and it was running awesome on overcome 2.0.0 rc1 with ext4 conversion and OC kernel and then I saw the honeycomb alpha had been released for cdma, which of course I dont have (gsm), and decided to try the rom with the oc gsm kernel, which didnt work.
then I dun goofed. Instead of going back to overcome in cwm, I flashed the damn experimental honeycomb package again, kernel and all and then loaded the tab.....dumb...weird colors and then nothing....screen just goes black and no matter what I cannot see cwm screen. And now odin no longer recognizes the tab.
heimdall works and I flashed back kernal from :[OC/UV][7th Jun][Kernel] koxudaxi kernel [GSM][2.2&2.3][KernelPatch]
which gives me cwm, but it keeps giving me an error that i cant mount sd card
I have tried flashing the safe gingerbread stock with pit file (still stuck on boot logo)
then tried flashing rotostock tmobile rom ( but no pit file and when it boots it still shows the gingerbread bootlogo)....do i flash with P1_add_hidden.pit added?
Any and all help will be much appreciated. please don't be too mean. I know i shouldn't have done what i did
[UPDATE]
So I figured it out. I reinstalled samsung usb driver from within odin folder, and odin suddenly started working. went back to stock GB and then on to Overcome 2.0.0 Gold w/ ext4 and oc'd to 1.4
I had to reinstall the hiemdall driver too after reinstalling samsung driver, but now they both work again....... so stoked
hi.thouh i am quite experienced user here.i have read everything possible.
now how i got this.here is the story.
i had sgs i 9000 version
android 2.3.3
jvk version
then i just rooted it using odin.fine.
use speedmod kernel for gingerbrid works firne.
then when i tried to go to that rooted stock kernel made by chainfire it rebbot then
here is story..
samsung boot scree looping again again.
i can enter in recovery mode and download mode,
tried nandroid restore but same happen.
plz help what to do to make it alive.
i know its not bricked bit i didnt worked either?//
Get into download mode and re-flash a stock 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 rom with Odin and it should help fix the boot looping.
any stock firmware .i just downloaded this from forst link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
will it work?
NO ONE??/my * is burning.i got very sow internet,
Yes any of those in that thread, Froyo or Gingerbread should get you sorted out.
i mean first one 2.3.4 jvq veersion in the given link bddy.is it okay?
should i tick re partion in odin or not with this 2.3.4 jvq version?
JVQ is fine.
If it's a 3 part firmware (separate phone,pda, csc), then 515 pit is required with repartition ticked.
hey thefirmware i download is just .exe file.one file what to do
Uploaded it for you.
Just unzip it then add it to Odin.
Double click it as it has to extract, which then will give you 3 files.

Awesome, glad I could help
So I've downloaded the following kernels from a link here on XDA that should be swapping kernels to allow me root on my recently upgraded, stock ROGERS 2.3.3 Captivate. Odin is telling me to "Check image files !!" when I load the .tar files into the Select Intergrated Package (and yes, the one package switch is on). I opened the tar to double check it wasn't double-compressed.
What else would be giving me this problem? I'm using Odin 4.28. Curiously, it is showing my phone as detected, my phone IS in downloading mode, but Odin just says (Android) in the Title, no specific model. But it says it's found it on COM 6. <1> Added!! and Detected!!
It's when I load up the kernel tar's and try to start that it yells at me. Is this triggering anything in anyone's mind that I'm doing wrong? Or do I need to provide more info?
I am using Vista 32-bit (legit) on a Dell studioXPS. And I ran it as administrator.
never heard of ODIN 4.28. i think its only up to version 1.82 or so.
sounds like you are using the wrong ODIN

Yeah. That is def the wrong version of Odin. Download the i9000 bootloaders in my sig. Unzip it. Delete the pda.tar.md5 file. Use the included version of Odin (1.82 I think) to flash your kernel.
Alright, quick question - I accidentally flashed the phone, not the pda. I tried to flash the KH2 modem back via phone but ODIN failed. Kies is currently not detecting the phone, and so I decided to try flashing the PDA while I had it open and I would figure the modem out after. ODIN hung, so I closed it and rebooted out of downloading mode and got the Phone ! Computer error. So I figure now I have to flash back to the stock rom and start over again, but this time I would like some advice as to which step to take next. I downloaded I896UXKH2-HOMEBINARY.tar.md5 from another thread here. Can I flash this with Odin - and if so, which is the place to load it? Bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC? I have no PIT files.
Think it goes into the pda slot. Go back to the thread t you got it from and read the first post of the thread. Also restart your computer before trying to flash again.
can someone upload the modem.zip, please thank you
In normal running mode ODIN sees the Cappy, but when I switch to download mode it doesn't see it any more. I am trying to put my phone back to factory default so I can install CM7 but running into all kinds of problems. I did get the base system reinstalled using a One Click JAR that I found here on XDA. The phone seems to be ok with that.
ADB doesnt think there are any devices attached either when I am in download mode.
I did also try the Heimdall install methods and used their drivers, but that doesnt work either
All I am trying to do so far is get CWM installed
Any ideas?
Did you ever use Heimdall?

If you used a one-click jar file, I believe you used Heimdall, as Odin-based one-clicks would be .exe files. That being the case, if one of the one-click heimdalls worked, other ones should work as well.
If you don't mind me asking, which one-click did you use? What rom were you on when the other one worked, and what rom are you on now?
I installed this "SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click.jar" to get it to work in what I think is a factory default.
I am now trying to get the downloading to be recognized by Odin or Heimhall or anything/.
They all see the phone in normal mode but when in download they do not see it
Have you tried all of the USB ports on your computer? If you're on a desktop, make sure it's one of the ones in the back (directly attached to the motherboard). Also, if you haven't rebooted your computer, do that, and then see if the UCKB2 one-click sees your device.
You can also try the full heimdall package, as that has a tool that will quickly check to see if it sees a device in download mode.
ODIN doesnt see Cappy
Looks like the drivers from Heimhall mess up the ODIN drivers. I removed the drivers from System Drivers that the Heimhall installed and now the ODIN seems to see the device again.
Now I need to figure out what I need to put on the device to make it work

einstall the Samsung drivers. The zadig driver you installed for Heimdall causes problems with dl mode if you then try to use Odin.

I just figured this out. Now what CWM file does ODIN want? After all of this I am lost! I will start back at the first post on adding CWM I guess...!!
It's going to want a kernel with CWM baked into it, or you can flash the JF6-based one click file to get back to stock without the 3e recovery error. From there you can just root, then copy the rom you want to install to your internal SD card. Rename it "update.zip", and flash that.
If memory serves me correctly, that's the simplest way to flash from Eclair. You can also try to Odin in a CWM-friendly Froyo kernel, or copy the cwm file out of the AIO captivate toolbox (copy it out, don't directly use the tool).
To get cwm, use a kernel with cwm as jimtheiss said, in a tar format. Older Talon kernels were in tar, as was Speedmod, and I think xcal's reoriented kernel had a tar version.
Open Odin, use the pda slot for the kernel, uncheck reboot. Connect phone. When the yellow box lights up, hit start. When completed, pull the battery,reinsert battery, use button combo to get in recovery.

I can't seem to find Eclair with CWM. I did find a I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 EXE with ODIN built into the EXE but whatever happens on that version ODIN didnt see the phone.
The ODIN 1.85 sees the phone, but I do not know what to download and what there downloaded file goes in ODIN.
I also ran the JAR file again and it did get back to 2.2 but then I dont seem to be able to get CWM working.
All I wanted to do it put CM7 on the phone. I guess I have to have Eclair or Froyo first to get the CM7? I think that is what I read. I havent tried it from GB
I would suggest following mrhaley's directions about flashing the kernel.
And here is the speedmod kernel.

My 2 cents....if you have so much difficulty using Odin/Heimdall, I would highly recommend staying away from CM7 or MIUI until you are really comfortable flashing stuff without hiccups. CM7 and MIUI are quite different beasts, compare to the ROms ur flashing.

The only thing he needs to flash with Odin/Heimdall is the kernel to get cwm. Its the same for most other GB roms. After you get cwm, its just flashing from cwm, with an extra factory reset and ROM flash.
I have been desperately trying to root my son's Captivate after installing KK4 using Heimdall one click. No matter what method I try, either using Odin to flash Corn Kernel 6.03 or Autoroot-Design Gears/stock KK4, I get the same message on Odin:
Added
Odin v.3 engine
File Analysis
Setup Connection
Initialization
Get PIT for mapping
Firmware update start
zimage
Complete (write) operation failed
After the failure I have to flash Heimdall again to unbrick it. I did not have this kind of problem when I rooted my cappy, but it was done with KI3 I believe, before KK4 was officially released. How can I go about correcting this, it's getting quite frustrating. I have 2 more to go after this one.
Thanks for any assistance!
I'm sure you've done this, but try using a different USB port/cable.
also you could try re downloading ODIN
If that doesn't help there's a long method to get to stock 2.3.5 with the right bootloaders which might help. If it doesn't then someone else might be better at helping you.
I've used this method when i screw things up bad many times, but it takes a lonnggg time, but it definitely works.
Try doing a one click to stock, 2.1
Then use Kies Mini, which is samsung's windows desktop application to update your software. Once you have kies mini then upgrade to 2.2, then 2.3 after. Once there you've for sure got the stock gingerbread bootloaders you should re try flashing kernels and what not. there's probably a quicker way to do it, but it's worked for me sure fire many times.
You mention that you have two more to go after your son's. I'd just use the kies mini and update them to ATT's 2.3.5 then go from there...
let me know if it works, i hope this helps.
There a way to do it need to put you phone in download mode then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386924 hope this helps it has bootloaders with or without it works anytime i need to go back stock already rooted and debloated

Tried several different cables to no avail. Researched Heimdall one-click Apex. After a little reading and You Tube video, I jumped in and kept my fingers crossed. It worked. Was then able to go to the ROM that I wanted. I am surprised that there are not more Heimdall One-Clicks out there ready to be flashed. I've had much more success with Heimdall that Odin. Thanks a bunch!
Same luck with Heimdall. Odin sux on some phones. AdamOutler rulez!
