Long shot but read this
not found any responses. Here is my situation:
*My computer recognizes the phone *ODIN recognizes the phone *the phone is in download mode *ODIN gets stuck *I have tried multiple times, but it continuously gets stuck at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! *The max I have waited is around 30ish minutes *3 button combo works on my phone *I have tried non-one click ODIN to JH2 and it freezes on modem.bin
I have used ODIN before, and I have no idea why this is not working. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

ya theres a modem file

Try rebooting your computer. Then try again if same issue then
Also maybe redownload the rom software in case of corruption
I am not sure of this but at this point might as well throw that in.

Ok borrowed sisters Laptop downloaded all files and did process over and worked like a charm first time, must have been problem with my desktop wow, my question now is do I have to update to JH7 to root and flash serendipity or can I do it from the current JH2.Mcord thanks for you help I really appreciate it

If you have the update.zip on your SD for clockwork recovery I believe you should be able to get into recovery reinstall packages twice then install zip from SD choose serindipity and flash away
If you dont have it let me know I will post a do link
Happy things are up and running for you

[Q] While flashing stock via odin screen gets blue/purple

Hey there,
Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).
So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).
Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.
What am I doing wrong?
Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.
And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .

Same thing, didn't do anything and screen went gray. This is so random for me, as flashing is SO easy with my own Desire but this thing is on a whole different level.
Try changing your Odin version to 1.82 and try again.

Actually did both already! The 1.3 was from the 2.2 pack from the Dutch forum. Got 1.82 from the samfirmware website. No luck yet
1.82 shows a bootloader function, do I need to have one of those files with it?
No don't flash bootloader

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?
Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.
What I do is
1. Go to download mode
2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option
3. Connect your phone
4. Click start.

Hmmm. Then I guess heimdall is your only hope ,since it started the problem.

Hmm, in Heimdall it gets all the way up to MODEM @ 59%. Then it fails and crashes..

[edit] buuuuuuuut I got android recovery back! okay now we have progress!
and now by adding the packaged zImage from CM have CM.. progress again!

Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.
In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.

Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.
Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?
You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.

Uhm, well I can't get really into any market as no rom will boot at this moment..
Guys, thanks for the cable advice! Could get my hands on a SE cable and flashed 2.3.5 stock through Odin. Happy that I didn't wreck my moms phone :')

Bricked + Stuck at download screen

Bricked + Stcuk at download screen
Hello guys,
So i created a really messy situation for me. I flashed a lot of ics rom's and was not happy with any of them so was trying to odin back to gb stock rom and flash my old gb custom rom but the odin on pc got stuck at "Getting pit details " and phone was at 1/10 the progress bar..it stuck there for abt 10mins and i decided it's not going anywhere and stuck so i pulled the cable and the phone was hard-bricked. it was not responding to anything. Surprisingly enough in morning i was able to get into download mode but now when i try to flash from odin it get's stuck at "Setup connection" and just stays there. Any Ideas ?
Edit: The phone gets detected in windows and drivers get installed but adb says unknown. or device not found for any commands that i try
Edit #2 :Flashed a Md5 i had and the phone booted into recovery giving all sorts of error E:/data not found and sorts. Not sure what i can do ahead. The odin all in one package get stuck at Setting pit file

And u may need to try a Heimdall One Click if the Odin doesn't work after seeing the thread above.

Bud thanxx for the reply i just fixed it

Good deal.
Some Captivates do not like the One Clicks, but will accept the flashing of the Firmware through the regular Odin.

Just keep trying in download mode, make sure fully charged. Open Odin first and files ready, then boot tab o download mode, sometimes it will see the tab, flash away.
You may also want to search for oneclick unbrick thread.

Usually it will. Just keep trying.
If possible, get a fresh computer with xp 32 bit, install the USB driver that us in GB stock safe, and run odin that is in GB stock safe.
My preference s to run Linux with heimdall 1.3.1

[Q] HELP!! Captivate Stuck on AT&T Boot Screen After ClockWorkMod Install

[Solved!]
Hey everyone!
I followed the Cyanogenmod guide from cm's website on how to install cm 10 on rooted att captivate from android 2.2 froyo.
I followed the guide exactly up to installing cwm recovery via heimdall on a windows 7 (heimdall wouldn't work on an xp I have so I switched to my 7) and everything worked as it said it would, however after finishing and getting the blue bar on the download mode screen, I held the vol up/down and pwr keys per the guide and the phone went to the att logo screen that it shows when you first turn it on and it just flashes that screen.
I can get into download mode still but it won't go into the options screen to hard reset or use cwm recovery.
I rooted it using the superoneclick method and I backedup with titanium.
I haven't been able to find anyone on xda or any other site with the same problem as me (everyone with a similar problem had a different version of android or something so I was afraid to try the solutions given for them.)
Please Help!! Thank you so much in advance!!

Flashin to KK4 with the Bootloaders included (if u don't already have them) has solved the button combo problems for others who were not able to get into recovery, etc.
Heed all warnings about flashin bootloaders. It only takes a few seconds to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, but ya don't wanna interupt the flash durin that process, i.e. loose power, accidently disconnect micro usb/usb cable, etc.
Once ya have the gb boots, there is no need to flash bootloaders again.

How long should/could it take Odin to detect/recognize my captivate? I couldn't wait to try the KK4 flash, but I've waited for about 10 minutes and it's not showing anything in Odin.:\
It should only take a few seconds.
See that Captivate - PC Connection Issues...thread i linked u to in my reply a few posts up.

Well I've been up all night lol but I got everything to work!! I guess it all just clicked with me and I understood and found all the answers in threads. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your link and Odin one click worked perfect. I think I had a problem with the drivers, that's why it wouldn't detect it. I read in another thread it could be that and I tried reinstalling the Samsung drivers but no luck. So I just switched to my windows xp where I'd never used heimdall drivers(I was on my windows 7) and did it on there, worked perfectly! I then went on to reinstall cwm and then cm 10.1.2 and I love it! Now I'm waiting for the Google play store .zip to download so I can flash it onto my i897! THANKS AGAIN!!! :thumbup:
