Is there any greek(greek translated) rom for i897 captivate? My device is semi bricked. What should i do? It is in download mode and I try to reflash its stock rom (i897ucjf6) but when i hit start or master clear in odin it does not responding, it stucks on file analysis. I have no phone for a few days now. Please help.
First off, Wrong section. Second. i dont know what a greek rom is. Third. what windows are you using?
Any Windows xp,vista, 7: try a different usb port
vista or 7: run odin as admin. if nothing happens again, use a different usb port.
if all else fail, you can try a different computer. but im not sure if that will help.
also, if you have tried all the usb ports on your computer. try restarting the comp and see if it works then.
hope this helps

I'm running win xp and i 've tried all usb ports i have. It always stucks on file analysis. Thanks for helping.
ah ok, Well i had this issue in the past. and what help me was using a different computer. but at that time i had an windows 7 comp, so i used my sisters xp comp it worked right away. so at this point, i would iether try restarting your comp. or using another comp...
i have an idea but im not sure if its posible. there is another oden somewhere on here i believe its I897UCJI6 one click. i believe at the time it was the unofficial 2.2 release by designgears. try running that, and if it works, try using the I897UCJF6 to go back to bone stock...
Are you opening odin b4 connecting the device to the comp. make sure oden is open, and that the phone is in dl mode. then connect the device to the comp.
and like zelendel said, are the drivers installed?

I open odin, then connect the device and hit start. The device is already in download mode and all drivers are installed. It still stucks on file analysis. Only one time passed it but stuck again on set pit file. I'll try another computer and let you know.

hello fellow modders
im going straight to the point,my sgs i9000 cannot go into download mode unless with adb(idk if this has to do with anything) but when i put my sgs i download odin doesnt recognize it and neither does kies on firmware update after downloading it gets stuck on 0% and phone on download mode also, im using a blackberry cable and also tried with a moto cliq cable no luck...also tried on win xp 32b and win7 32b no luck this phone is charming but the fact that im on echlair...so im hoping you guys can all brainstorm and ill try every singe idea
THANKS!!!
firstly make sure you dont have kies running when using odin
secondly, try running odin as administrator
thirdly uninstall and re install the drivers.
fourthly, try a different USB port, and maybe a different PC
finally if all that fails, try an original samsung cable, believe it or not, this does make a difference.

Try Odin 1 Click. You'll find it on here somewhere. It wil take you back to stock 2.1 Eclair. Then you can READ ABOUT flashing other ROMs and proceed from there.

im sorry but most of us can't even help you IF we want to The users of windows based PC's are greater in this forums compared to Macs. if there is drivers for mac, are they installed?
Since you only have a Mac, I would suggest installing Windows through Boot-Camp (included in Mac OSX) on a different partition. I read Galaxy S doesn't have drivers support for Mac OSX Leopart or later, not entirely sure if its true though, but I do have a MacBook Pro and had no success in finding a way to connect my phone to it by USB... Good thing I had a regular old Windows PC Desktop.
Then as Jack Man said, use Odin 1-Click found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
to reset your phone completely to factory settings, relatively simple to do as long as you read the instructions on that post. =)
Well since you only have a Mac and hiemidal is not see your phone i think your only option is to find a friend with a PC and give the Odin 1 click a try.
i ask my aunt for her pc,

Sir, just in case, did you reboot after installing drivers and BEFORE you tried connecting the device? Also, did you check if Odin detected your device when its connected in Download mode?
yes, and thats what in trying to do, to get odin to detect my phone in download mode...
Ok, is your phone detected by the operating system? If it does, then try using this other Odin thread instead, this one however will restore it to Stock Samsung Galaxy with 2.3 Gingerbread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
Don't have to follow the rest of the instructions to root it just in case, but see if that version of Odin detects your phone.
actually thats the problem... windows vista doesnt recognize my device, either my mac... is there a solution to my phone or not? please help

One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and
Windows does not recognize it.
Are you sure it goes in to Download Mode (little android with a shovel)? Also have u tried different usb ports?
Like the above said, are you sure you are in download mode?
What USB port are you using if ots a desktop computer. There are known issues using front usb, plug into the usb on the back of the tower.
Also, are you sure odin doesnt see it? I know windows doesnt like it, but start odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc. What does odin show? Any connected devices?

My phone was hardbricked when i screwed up with the latest Serendipity install. It boot loops at the white AT&T world phone screen. I am unable to get it into download mode with out a jig. However, once i do have it in download mode, my computer will not recognize the phone. It keeps viewing it as an unknown device.
I dont know if this is related to it not showing up using Odin 3 one click downloader. Either way, i need to get it back to stock.
I have the drivers already, in fact ive reinstalled them once or twice trying to get this to work, any ideas?
That's not a hard brick. Search the already existing threads in the forums, of which there are many. No need to start another thread on it. Try a different USB port on your PC, make sure you're running Odin as an administrator before you put the phone in download mode and plug it into your PC.

Have you tried installing drivers and then reinstalling drivers manually from designgears thread in dev?
SIGNATURE : Life is like a box of captivates, you never know if your gps will work
so im pretty much able to get it into download mode any time i want. but i cannot get my computer to view it. No matter what USB port i use, it still says unknown/unrecognized device. I see you mentioned something about manually installing drivers, how would i do that?
Try a different PC. Although, it sounds like a driver issue. What version of windows are you on?
sent from my Gingerbread Cappy using Tapatalk from somewhere on AT&T's ****ty network.
I know others have had issues with i9000 ROMS not being recognized once their phone goes in download mode. Here is a whole thread about it.
yeah i checked through that whole thread, it wasnt any help.
My comp is 32 bit windows 7. ive tried to connect my phone to a 64 bit windows 7, and a mac, and still havnt gotten ****. Im getting really frustrated. What are my options when i simply cannot find a way to get Odin to view the phone? All it says is that my USB device has malfunctioned and it wont work.
EDIT1
okay. ive discovered that if i plug in my USB while the ATandT logo is looping, my computer will see it as an external storage device. THEN i jig it into download mode, and plug it into the same port, and it will no longer see the device as unknown, but instead calls it 'androidtest,' although it still doesnt show up in Odin3. hmmmmm could this be a lead into getting it to show up? Every other attempt ive done has ended up with it just calling it unknown device
EDIT2
Searching through the device manager shows that the phone no longer shows up under universal serial bus controllers, but instead 'libusb (WinUSB) devices', under the name Androidtest. But as i said before, still no luck getting it to show up with Odin, either the one click or the choose all the components version. Any thoughts?

ive downloaded and uninstalled and redownloaded all sorts of different captivate drivers. it always still just said 'usb device malfunctioned.' i belive at this point, i have every driver uninstalled, hoping that windows itself would grab the right one. . ..
idea: ill reinstall captivate drivers. . . then ill do the usb while atandt is booting and THEN use the same usb port for the download mode. Without drivers, this is how i got to the 'androidtest' deal. perhaps with drivers installed, it will do something different.

Problem: Attemping to flash to eclair(stock) using Odin version/s 1.81-1.82. Have not had any luck. The phone is rooted. But running bone stock os/rom. I suspect while using an app to kill the boot/shutdown sounds may have some how corrupted this cappy enough to block it from flashing back to stock.
Question: Are there any specific sites or suggestions that would walk me through ways to flash my Captivate back to Eclair?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

Are you connecting the phone to a usb hob thats on the Mother board(rear one if on desktop), running ODIN as adming (if on vista or 7). You putting your phone in download mode and connecting after odin is open? Lastly you have drivers for your phone?
Edit: Mobiletechvideos usually has very good video guides.
U need to right click the Odin and run as administrator 1st, then connect ur phone in download mode to the computer. Be sure to connect the usb end of the cable to a usb port in the back of the computer or first port on laptop. Be sure that before u begin you have the correct drivers installed and then you may want to reboot your computer... then begin the Odining process.
Hope that helps.
edit: prbassplayer, I guess great minds do think alike... But you type faster.
Tried for awhile that night without success. The next morning after restarting my windows xp system it worked. All required software was installed. The pc had been restarted numerous times? Greatful for the suggestions. Still confused as to what the issue was however. Very perplexing indeed.

Hi All,
here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.
Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)
Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...
Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.
Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.
Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.
You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.
From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.

thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.
I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...

I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?
Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)
Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..

Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.
Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.
Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.
If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.
EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.
