[Q] Phone is a brick after deleting framework-res, help?

K so like an idiot i deleted framework-res, and now my phone turns on to a black screen. I've tried to reflash it with odin and odin 1 click, but it always gets stuck at "file analysis". I don't get why because I used odin 1 click to install froyo in the first place so I know it works.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do, as I can't get any files on or off my phone because ADP will always say the device is not connected.

if its stuck at file analysis keep fiddling until it goes past that for instance plug in into download mode with it open and then unplug and replug it in. just keep trying.

i've been trying for hours... rebooting.. reinstalling.. everything. it won't get past File Analysis...

Are you trying to use the odin 1click to flash back to jf6? That might work.

nope, still hangs at File Analysis

i have done the same and now back up i used an old odin to go back to original stock and then updated to froyo after. If you can use sdk adb reboot recovery and fromat your sd card then try odin again this worked for me

maybe try restarting computer. make sure you dont have anything adb related running. pull battery. start odin one click. put battery back in. hold vol-up and down at same time(just the vol. buttons no power) plug in usb from comp. to your phone while you still have the vol. buttons held. should be in download mode. click start.
and if you wanna try pushing a new framework, i guess you could try to boot into recovery and adb should see it then as debugging mode is auto on in recovery mode. let us know.

Are you using 64 bit Windows 7? I am and had a similar problem. On my original attempts to flash my phone with earlier versions of Cognition, I learned that if you don't disable the lagfix, you can have a problem. Assuming you used one I hope you disabled it. I also used odin 1-click at the time and it didn't work terribly well, mostly due to the voodoo lagfix ext4 filesystem.
Secondly, I've also found that it's best to go into download mode using the following method:
I do a battery pull, remove sim and sdcard (if you have one), put battery back in. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of those front USB ports (they sometimes don't get enough juice, you wouldn't want the device to disconnect in the middle of a flash). Hold volume up/down and plug in the USB cable. Odin one click should recognize the phone is hooked up to a COM port. At that point, you click the start button and it flashes. It should not take more than 1-2 minutes to flash. If Odin looks like it it is not working, rather it sits at Verifying or does not actually move at a brisk pace, it's not going to work. You can let it sit for hours and it will never flash. If this happens, do the battery pull and try again. My first time doing this was rather nerve wracking as i thought i bricked my phone. Had the screen with the phone/exclamation mark/computer and the computer did not detect my phone via USB. I've seen people who say reinstalling the Samsung drivers or rebooting the computer or switching USB ports might help as well.
Ever since i figured out the above, i've been able to flash my Captivate on Win 7 64bit without a hitch. Currently running the latest build of Cognition 2.2 and loving it.

I've done all of the above and Odin hangs on Verifying, ADB gives the same error message on every "ADB" command : "error: device offline: (while in recovery mode)
My computer/Odin does recognize that it's plugged in, but it won't mount and let me into the SD card or format it, etc.

You should post what you did to fix it in case someone has the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes he should.

What did you do to fix it? Do tell.

10 bucks says he succeeded once he read the directions properly.
Reading is hard, that is why so few people do it.

Same exact thing happened to to me 2 days ago. All I did was:
1)take the battery and SIM card out, wait a few seconds,
2)run Odin3 on my PC and hookup the USB cable to the phone while still off
3) hold both Volume buttons down while phone is off and connected
3)at the same time, slide in the battery with 1 finger or have someone do it
4)keep volume keys held down as the battery is installed and my phone turned on straight into download mode
5) phone pops up in Odin3 and just click Start, flashed to stock JH6
I am 80% sure I wasn't holding the power button while holding the Vol keys. If that doesn't work above ^^^ hold all 3 buttons and it should go into download mode.

so.. I fubard framework.apk trying to get teh circle battery mod on my phone (it just hung forever and *poof* black screen o' nothing after I pulled the battery)
So.. I'm following the directions but windows keeps finding the phone as some type of crazy serial device and is asking for drivers ... so I'm fux0red methinks.
Any help is appreciated - but I think I did a real number on this thing.

Ok... these are the steps I've done.
Shutdown the device.
Pulled battery, Sim, SD Card.
Popped the battery back in.... didn't power it up.
Turned on Odin3
Popped the USB cable into the phone while holding both volume buttons.
I get the lil triangle.
... then I get a windows message stating "SERIAL GADGET" and the XP wizard comes up looking for drivers. It doesnt find anything of course.
So.. I rinse and repeat and it can't find the device.
So what am I missing o wise XDA folks?

Have you searched for the drivers and installed them on your xp machine?
I'm still a noob so I'm not sure of it will help.
Please though, once you get it sorted please post your solution here for the benefit of those whip comer after you.
Good luck!

Get the right drivers if you havent already and find the USB port that works. Post 8 above is very good. On my netbook, only one of the three usb ports works for the captivate, i've marked it since with a happy face.

Ok.. at home now on my Win7 machine - all is good in Odin restore land...
Except - I flash using the Odin 1 Click and still boot to a black screen.
I think because I had the Voodoo lagfix on it - it won't format correctly and load the rest of the ROM onto the SDCard

[Q] Green Screen Of Death

Anyone Experience this?
Phone was on stock firmware from AT&T (never been rooted)
Plugged Phone Into the computer & opened Odin3Excution v1.00 & booted the phone into Download Mode and clicked Start on Odin. looked back at the phone minutes later and the phone had a full green screen. waited & waited and neither the phone or Odin were making progress. pulled the phone off the USB pulled the battery. restarted the computer and tried again. Now the phone will not boot at all not even the at&t smart phone screen and it wont boot into recovery or download mode.
The phone is being processed through warranty, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this or knows what happened. Thanks!
BTW the phone was charged 100% and the sim & sd card werent in the device.

Move to Question Thread
Can a Admin move this to the question section. Sorry for posting in Dev.

Very interesting. Never heard of this. Pull the battery out and wait lets say 1h
Then plug the battery back and hold both volume buttons while inserting the USB. Dont touch the power button.

You can try not waiting at all at first. Just pull it out, put it it and follow what I said earlier.

i had a green screen in the middle of a flash back to stock with ODIN one click (every usb device stopped working on my machine at once)
fired it back up in download mode and odin'd it...no problem

Yep.. Mine too, two times, except that the screens was Light Blue and Yellow..

Moved to Q&A.

Lol funniest thing that I read this thread and then thought, wow must be one of the lucky one's cause that never happened. Next thing i know I go to flash back to stock and when i look over it was the green screen. I was like NOOOOO! So now im trying to install the drivers on my bro's comp since my windows partition is being a...well you know. Tried to use heimdall but I don't have the stock bootloader....just the sbl. Can anyone throw me a bone?

Advice, if you don't wanna risk it, find a win machine and use odin one click downloader

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but it was either this or start a new thread for the same problem.
I was flashing back to stock from Mosaic and this happened. Green screen and nothing else. Now it won't turn on or go back into download mode. Think a jig will help this?.
Edit: Waited about 10 mins and tried again. IT LIVES!!!!

it is worth a try of jig if key combo does not work.

the same thing just happened to me. i was using odin3excution v1.00 to flash back to stock before taking the phone in to AT&T to get the warranty replacement. i got the teal/green/blue screen at factortrfs, it just sat there and killed everything usb on my computer. i pulled the battery and tried to reboot into download/turn it on/plug it in, no response whatsoever. i have the battery pulled and im waiting to try again, but if that does nothing, what can i do? i could take it in and tell them it did this in the middle of the kies update, but is that even believable? any help is appreciated, i don't have a jig and making one is last resort. thanks brothersss

factory one click odin stuck??

i have done a quick search of this and cant find anything... i was working on going back to stock so i can flash perception6 and my odin is hanging at factoryfs.rfs for a realy long time compared to last time when i flashed 5. what should i do i dont know if it is good to restart it when its in the middle of downloading. any help will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I've had this happen to me a few times. I had to disrupt the flash (disconnect the phone from computer) and start over.
Keep in mind, when you do that you won't be able to boot your phone into Android anymore. You will have to use the button combo to get back in Download mode OR use a JIG to get into Download mode.
When you open Odin, right click on it and "Run as Administrator", I've seen people saying that helps with Odin hanging.
Now I don't know if my method of disconnecting the phone and starting over is really recommended, so you might want to wait and see if anyone else has a more elegant solution for you.

I was having serious issues getting odin to run for me to. Using "Run as Administrator" fixed this problem for me as well. I'm guessing I just forgot about that because I had it working before. I also make sure odin is running before I place it into download mode. I haven't had an issue with it since.

i9000 bricked, but goes to download mode - rescuable?

So here't the full background, it's not long, please read:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-bricked-my-sgs-wonder-what-i-did-wrong.2032/
Long story short, it looks like I bricked my SGS when trying to flash with Odin, even though I followed the tutorial very closely. When I power up the phone, it just gives me the image with phone, exclamation mark and PC on it. It does, however, go into download mode when powered up with VolDown and center button.
How do I save it? Do I need the JIG (God, please say no! )

Have you tried reflashing with odin.
Jig is only needed when you cant get into download mode.
Also i just looked inside the darky rom topic.
Have you flashed the jvk rom first with the bootloaders?
Edit: as said below. If you gonna reflash, flash a stock rom. Not the darky rom. First priority is to make your phone work.

Yeah, you have download mode.
Now, fire up Odin and load a few rom files into it, connect the phone and see if the PC still recognises it. (Do not flash, Just a test)
If so...
Flash a stock rom.

Somehow, I was able to flash it with Odin in Download Mode this time. Phew! I read somewhere that the flash might fail if You're using wrong USB port. At first I connected my phone to a eSATA/USB combo port, and for the second time (after brick) I tried a normal USB 2.0 port in my laptop. Maybe that's what made the difference, I have no idea.
Anyway, I'm running stock Samsung 2.3 rom and am trying to install Darky's 10.0 RC3 on it - I am running into some problems, but thankfully they're much less serious than the brick that I was able to fix.
Thanks for Your help!

I ran into similar problems last week. A rom wouldn't flash, so I gave it an hour and it proceeded nowhere. Had to pull the plug on it.
Sometimes it just takes a few times plugging and unplugging repeatedly until it just happens to get detected by Windows. Maybe just a bit of luck too
Congrats on your recovery.

Just wondering which stock 2.3 rom did you use and which Odin setting you used to get your phone up and working again.
Here is my post / problem, seems similar to yours
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020223
Thanks

I had the same issue like warnec on my first darkyy flash, finally everything went fine...don't worry!
just try to reflash with odin (maybe going for a stock version first is a good idea), be sure to do everything as mentioned in the guides out there. and be sure your computer works stable, maybe you want to quit some tasks in the background (however it should work even without but something crashed my odin once...)

Reflash with Odin to make your phone work again. I suggest using a stock 2.2.1/2.3.3 ROM. It is important that it consists of the 512.pit file, a PDA file, a Phone file and a CSC file. The ROM must have bootloaders included!
Now, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
Start Odin and load all the files. Tick 'Repartition'.
Start your phone in Download Mode by pressing Vol-Down, Home and Power.
Connect it to your PC and wait for Odin to say 'Added!'.
Now hit Start, wait 2-3 minutes until it is done and your phone should succesfully reboot!

Thanks I tried this and my phone just keeps flashing i9000m screen, then blank and then back to the i9000m screen. Looks like the phone is unusable.

does not sound very good...could you solve your problem yet?

Had to take the phone into Bell. Waiting on return of it and currently using a loaner HTC Desire Z from Bell.

bricked help

hey, i am posting this for a friend who bricked his phone and doesn't know much about it..
he was running serendipity 7 which is a jvo rom, and tried flashing the pauldiddy remix theme, which says is only meant for jvp and jvq roms. i used a jig, to get the phone into download mode, and the computer detected it when i plugged in the usb. but when i tried to use odin one click to go back to stock, it would get stuck at the "Do not turn off target". im not sure if anyone knows a fix for this, or if i should try using the method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 instead, but i figured i would ask before i messed around with it too much
any feedback would be appreciated

how long do you wait before throwing in the towel? it does take a minute or two to finish it's task ? And are you opening Odin before you hook the usb to the phone ?

waited probably about 5-10 minutes. yeah i opened odin first, and it detected the phone and showed the Added! text

Just out of curiosity, what is the phone doing right now that you're trying to use Odin on it?
The reason I ask is that if you can get to CWM recovery, you might just be able to re-flash the rom (assuming it's a wipe package) and it would take care of the issue.

i cant get into recovery, but i can get into download (using the button combos). not sure if that means anything either

Well keep trying, and you might want to try the odin 1 click. I have a Cappy that got dipped in the pool, it would not go into recovery at all but I could get the download all the time, But it kept getting stuck at the i896 screen or the AT&T screen (odin 1 click) after 3 weeks of trying and having to wait 3 days for it to come out of it's coma it now works fine. If you try the odin 1 click it might work for you just make sure it's not ver 10.10 I think (look under battery). What screen does it go to once you press power IE: black screen rogers screen etc. ?

ive tried using odin 1 click.. like i said, the first time odin actually picked up the device, but it wouldnt get past the "do not turn target off" prompt. but i tried plugging it in again, and now it doesnt seem to even pickup the phone. when i when i try to boot the phone, its just a black screen. thanks for the input though
