Not sure if this has been answered before, I have been trying to flash back to stock firmware after using cm7. However odin doesnt seem to be working as it doesnt recognise my phone. (also tried installing nexus s drivers but that doesnt seem to help.) Can anyone offer some advce? Thanks ahead.
Are you sure you have all neccesary windows drivers ?
Start Kies connect phone shrink Kies then start Odin see if your phone is found .
Turn Kies of before flashing if it does find the phone .

I've read and searched as much as I can but haven't seen anyone else have this problem.
I flashed Froyo XWJP6 using Kies and changing the registry entries and I am generally happy with the rom but I've seen others posted I wanted to try out. My problem is that I have so far been unsuccessful getting odin to connect when I go into the rom download screen (down+home+power). Odin and kies both connect when on the home screen.
I understand that since its Froyo with e3 recovery that update.zip files need to be signed so odin is needed to either install a new rom, install clockworkmod or install a kernel that has e2 recovery.
Is there any way I can get odin to connect or downgrade to e2 recovery without going through odin? Or any other solution to downgrade to 2.1 and start again?
It feels like i'm missing something but I don't have the experience to figure out what it is.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This happens to me every now and then as well.What I would do is to re-install the samsung usb driver in my laptop. After that, odin sees my phone again in DL mode.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Make sure you're connecting in the right sequence for odin.
- start odin with phone unplugged
- boot phone into d/l mode
- connect phone to pc via usb
thanks very much for replying. I tried a different computer and it seems to be a dodgy usb port/driver problem on my works computer I had tried originally.
So I got my Galaxy S..used from a friend. it's a used unit and it's running eclair DXJG4 firmware. I've decided to upgrade it to froyo via odin (MTP Driver issue made me not use kies anymore)..At first I tried ticking repartition and flashed it and odin fails and the phone wont go past the galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. (I downloaded my DXJPA firmware from samfirmwares and I ticked both three PDA, PHONE and CSC and all of them are linked to the single tar). I tried the second time...repartition ticked AGAIN (I think this is the main problem cause now) and only ticking PDA. Odin passed. But phone still stuck at boot screen (the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen). please help?
Ive read some topics..seems that I need to reflash it back to eclair JG4 firmware with repartition ticked and flash froyo without repartition? The most confusing part for me is whether to tick phone and CSC or not.
hi heres a guide on dxjpa http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install-froyo.html
btw dxjpa isnt the latest, dxjpe is latest
guide to dxjpe:http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install-froyo.html
You can try this.
When the phone is froze on the screen, connect it to the PC. If you can access your SD card from within Windows, format the sd card. Power down the phone, and power it back up. It should then boot past the screen.
i think the main problem is about im using a single tar for csc, phone and pda. might need to reflash though.
electro: I can't, its stuck in the galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. windows wont recognize it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
redownload it from the link that i have gave u.have try using it and it definitely works
so I can just reflash it with the correct csc, pda files that is in the link you given and it will work? Or i need to downgrade to eclair first and then upgrade again. because I'm worried my last 're-partition' with the wrong files might need me to downgrade.
im downloading the files right now. wish it could be downloaded soon though, my connection is slow right now.
which one u downloading dxjpa or dxjpe?
u have to enable repartition
dxjpa. okay i will enable. wish me good luck
shouldnt have any problems if u follow the steps on the blog
tried it and now my phone works nicely. Thanks!
probably think u should upgrade to dxjpb since it is actually based on dxjpa with some cleanups of the rom
Hi team!
Im new to this, may i ask..
Am i able to go from stock 2.1 straight to 2.3.3 by following this guide....
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-xxjvo-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-rom-on-your-galaxy-s/
Or will i encounter problems? do i need to go to 2.2 first?
Has anyone got the skills to give me some answers? if so thanks!
I didn't look at that guide in particular, it's like when someone does your homework for you... but it is possible to go straight to 2.3.. If your worried just go to 2.2 first...
that is all
Yeah, sure! With Odin, you can goo from any version to any version back and forth - a lot of people even use stock 2.1 to get a clean install before flashing something new, so don't worry. Just use a stock JVO version with bootloaders (there should be "Sbl" in the name of the PDA file). I alway flash stock ROMs with pit file and checked repartition - just 1) get in Odin and mount PDA (with bootloaders), Phone and CSC,also mount the pit file and check repartition, 2) turn off you phone and after that get in Download mode (Volume up+menu button+Power button), 3) connect the phone to your pc and hit start button in odin
Do not forget to take out sim card and memory card before flashing

Thanks guys, gona flash darks JVH rom (Ficeto_Deodexed_JVH_I9000_ODIN.zip)
as a base rom...
then flash Darkys 10.1
Hi experts in flashing! Here is my story. About 3-4 days i decided to change my beloved 2.2.1 darky to 2.3.6 (the GalaxyDroid or something like that ). In the guide the dev have wrote that it needs to flash any gb official rom through odin and then flash his rom.So i used the rom he have linked and then it started the mystery. First the process hanged at flashing boot.bin (i think), then i tried again- same thing happen. Then i tried with a different 2.3.5 and hanged again. After this flashes my galaxy was left only with Download mode ( no start up, no recovery). Then i tried to change versions of odin, tried to flash 2.2.1( where it hanged on SetupConnection.. ) and 2.1. Then i left the phone ( battery out), for 1 day and tried again - nothing changed. I tried to preinstal kies, then leave only drivers and uninstal kies. Tried to change PCs- on xp and vista machine( cause my laptop is win7 x64 ). No luck - it didn`t even recognise my phone. So i decided to write down here because i`m out of ideas... I`m sorry for my bad english and thank you for reading my novel and decided to help me
Normal - you have upgraded from 2.2.x to 2.3.x without proper bootloader.
If you'd use SEARCH function with "gingerbread froyo up downgrade guide", you could potentially easily find This guide...
Now - first of all - uninstall KIES, and look for phone drivers without KIES only.
Try this - if youdid not messed phone too much - you still should be able to go to download mode...
Yes i have found that thread, but the problem is i have download mode but everything hangs...
you have two options now (at least - as I can consider):
- jig
-samsung service centre
I think jig doesn`t help me, because i can enter download mode.
hmm...
if I'd be you..
I'd uninstall kies, and install samsung phone drivers.
then, maybe, PC would recognise phone...
or.. another comp.
but -if you messed phone too much - service is your only option.

Hey everyone,
I was asked by a friend to update his moms Samsung GT I9000 (stock rom up until now) to Cyanogen.
I've played around with CM before and figured it would be a piece of cake, but I guess I was wrong.
I've followed this guide to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
Used the semaphore .tar mentioned in the thread and used Heimdall to flash.
All went well untill I tried to reboot into recovery, step 10: I get a bootloop.
Normal reboot ends up in a loop as well, but I can access download.
I've tried to reflash semaphore with both Heimdall and odin. Heimdall says it's worked but doenst get rid of the bootloop, Odin just didnt recognize the device at all.
So I figured I would flash something else, but what?
I downloaded CM recovery from this site: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager but it doesnt have a flashable image as far as I can see. (Odin doesnt think so anyway and creating a .tar file doesnt help).
And when I checked this thread for the original software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640906 the links are broken.
I've also tried the JVU mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247484 and found it here http://download.chainfire.eu/132/CF-Root/SGS/, no luck.
Last but not least I downloaded Kies in the hopes of changing the USB drivers, allowing Odin to recognize the device, that helped. Now Odin can flash, but I still end up in the same bootloop.
There must be something I'm missing here. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?
Yoora
Anyone?
I've been searching through the forums and I can find about a 1000 ways to get download mode working again, but not what to flash once you get there....
I'm really hoping to find something today since I'm supposed to give the phone back tomorrow. So any help is greatly appreciated.
I think its firmware issue you need full firmware I mean pda phone. Csc
