was flashing with odin and went bad now i get msg firmare upgrade fail with picture of phone yellow exclamation mark and computer. i even bought a jig and still only boots to that. not sure what else i can do??
any suggestions??
The jig should do it. Sometimes that screen is download mode, even though its the soft brick picture. Try hooking it up to odin. If odin recognizes the device you should be able to flash back to stock fine.

yea u should still be able to flash after jigging it. its happened to me like that b4 exact same thing
what quar said
Thanks for the quick responses, it worked and i'm back up. I tryed that days ago wonder why it worked all the sudden.
Again thanks
i have the same problem. Except when running odin it just sits at set pit file.
Tried diff odin files. diff cord and usb port
Try Heimdall. Apex ROM has files and good instructions.
Odin never worked for me.

Hi all
I stupidly upgraded to 2.2.1 the other night and for the last 2 days I have been trying to connect to the phone via Odin so I can apply the 2e Recovery and put Darky 8.0 on.
The problem I am having is that every time I try to apply the PDA file (from xda-devs), it just gets stuck on SetupConnection (I have booted the phone into Recovery mode). I have tried it on my Win7 x64 PC and I have tried it on my WinXP x86 laptop, same result. I have tried Odin 1.0, 1.3 and 1.7. I have uninstalled the Kies drivers, installed older ones, installed newer ones...nothing. I have tried removing the SD card, nothing.
Odin sees the phone when I plug it in, it show me the COM port and it says "Added!".
I'm at my wits end! 2.2.1 has fixed nothing for what I use, GPS is still rubbish, OneClickLagFix doesn't work on this version and they've put in this ridiculous 3e Recovery. So basically Samsung will not only not give us (in the UK) a decent version of their ridiculous firmware, but they have taken away our ability to fix up their garbage firmwares!
If anyone could help me get around this Odin problem, I would be most grateful! Thanks
If not, I'm going to get shut of this pile of pants and get a proper Android phone (which I don't want, because I really can see the potential)
Cheers!
You could try Heimdall instead of Odin its on the forum .
Odin sees the phone when I plug it in, it show me the COM port and it says "Added!"
Sounds like a duff file maybe .
I have flashed CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
at least twenty times in the last month without a problem .

Hi
I have Heimdall, but I don't see which box to put the tar file in... There are several options under PDA/Code
Thanks for your reply
Edit: OK so my best guess is to put it under zImage. Done that, connected phone in Recovery for BML and the Start button stays greyed out.
Edit2: Do I need a .pit file? The instructions for CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1 don't mention one...
Edit3: Still with Heimdall, I unzipped the .tar so I have zImage unpacked, the Start button lit up, I click it:"Failed to detect a compatible device"
Edit4: Tried to downgrade to 2.1 Eclair using samfirmwares. Odin goes through md5 checks, they all pass and then....SetupConnection... What's going on?
Solved!
I used the Down Volume instead of Up Volume.
Yes! I solved too with this board. Thanks!
Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...
I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.
That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!
went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!
odin doesnt reconize phone
which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.
And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.

Yep, tried the Odin one click - caught in a boot loop with the AT&T Logo. I have yet to try the Heimdall one.

Tried Odin and Heimdall One-Clicks - unsuccessful. I'm think I will need the stock Eclair firmware file with Odin and the pit file.

You ever get this to work? - I'm in a similar situation. all flashes 'work' but get stuck at ATT on boot. Not sure Eclair is an option or not since mine is a refurbished phone that started on 2.2

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

I have a question about the Odin3 program used to restore phone. I have followed this thread and done all of the things it says and I can not get the application to work. I have downloaded the drivers and done this step by step and I must be doing something wrong. I have no idea what to do. I have removed the sd card and the sim card, put the phone into downliad mode by method 2. After I click start on the program, I get to the file analysis part and then the program just sits there. I have waited for 45 minutes and nothing.
Please help! I flash cognition 4.3.2 over perception build 9.5 and now my phone will not turn on. It is stuck in a loop between the cognition start up screen and then goes to recovery and then keeps cycling. What should i do? Thanks in advance!!!
odin sometimes locks up. try again. the only real Problem that can really happen with ODIN is that it doesnt see your phone.
try rebooting your computer. force closing odin didnt help the person i helped before,
When I plug the phone into the computer, it says added on the Odin program. Is this correct? I have never used the Odin program before. After added, it says Odin v3, then it goes to file analysis....... It never leaves this point. Where can I find more information on this topic. Cant get to a restore point either, think I am in trouble!!!!!

if the box turns yellow and says "phone connected" in the info box. its good to go. just try again.
I am running as an administrator. When I connect the phone, I got a yellow boxd, but never says phone connected. It say 0com3) or whatever uusb port I am connecting to. I reinstalled drivers and program and keep getting the same thing. Is Odin3 v1.00 the right version. I thought I saw on here earlier that Odin had a v1.52. Am I running the wrong version?

ODIN3 1.0 is the ODIN one click
the versioning on the one click has nothing to do with the versioning on the full ODIN.....

Hello, I own a galaxy tab 7" latin american version for a couple months, everything was running good, stock rom/rooted.
2 weeks ago it stopped reading any sim card, I tried to fix that problem by going back to unrooted with superoneclick, and I ended up fudging everything instead.
The problem is:
Im stuck at the "(Phone)....!...(PC)" screen, and it's blinking, I've already downloaded ODIN tool and Heimdall's Oneclick Unbrick tool.
This is the screen I'm getting
Which none of those I've succeded unbricking the tab.
Please help me, what can I do?
Please help!
Try using odin, to flash this rom
P1000N: http://www.multiupload.com/EUZS7V21L6.
P1000L: http://www.multiupload.com/SZZZFK8GMO
PIT file: http://www.multiupload.com/ZL9HDOGI5V
Repartition checked.
After flashing the correct rom enter to download mode again and flash this http://www.multiupload.com/E0CQPPZCMN in odin without pit file and repartition unchecked, do a wipe cache and dalvik. then restart to system.
I softbricked my tab some couple times and this metod always works for me. (P1000N)
Thanks for the stock rom Rafa, the thing is, ODIN doesnt recognize the tab, when I plug it to the wall charger, it turns on the brick screen, and it is blinking.
Thats the part that really worries me, the blinking part...
When I plug again the tab to the computer, it doesnt turn on the same screen

I've once had my tab was showing a error triangle with connection problem from tab to pc -so i've thought "rigth just gonna flash it like i've done so many times".
When i've connected the tab to my pc odin didn't recognise it either. Though i've just selected my pit tar and so on and flashed it anyway, that little blue bar showed up on the tablets screen, and then it was flashing.
Try see if you're able to pull of the same.
Cheers, jakk212
But the COM port did recognize the tab??
Hello,

thank you i had the same problem with my tab from claro el salvador and now is working!
anyone else has any input on this?
1-Does Windows detect the tab?, check in hardware manager, see if listed.
2-try flashing using Odin or heimdall, make sure you use the correct version of Odin , I use the 1.7 and I don't have problems.
3-if Odin detect it do the steps above.

I attempting to get the phone to load the "Sammy 1.5" Rom. I have a Galaxy S Captivate I897.
I was not initially able to get Odin 1.85 to recognize my phone. So I used Heimdall to place it back to UCKB2.
Now Odin recognizes the phone. So then going back to the instructions for Sammy ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486344
I fired up Odin 1.85, placed Cog Kernel Beta 2 in the PDA slot. And now the phone is stuck at:
"File Analysis.."
Its been there for over 25 minutes.
Any suggestions?
Note: I had KK4 working on the phone (small quirks: games suck) just prior to attempting this MOD.
I had this issue with my backup phone. It never seemed to like to take a flash on the first try. If I put it in download mode via a jig it seemed to work better.
One trick that worked for me was to pull the battery (Yikes! I know it soft bricks it) and I would then get the incomplete flash screen. I would then Odin from that screen and it would take.

Via a jig? Are you saying that you dance a jig when you connect the phone? Just kidding. What kind of jig are you talking about?
A jig is a usb connector that has a 301k Ohm resistor on the 4th and 5th pin (the top and bottom pins next to the headphone jack.) Most if not all Samsungs android devices use this method to get in Download Mode.
Layman way to make one found here. Don't buy the usb plug he used since thats really expensive but you can understand the theory of it. You can buy one here if you like. Cheaper to just grab the resistors and buying some plugs else where, splicing a spare cable or just trying to hit the 2 pins in the port.
Here is an example of one you can buy if you don't want to build your own. They are all over amazon and ebay. This is not an endorsement for this particular seller/product. Just an example so you can see what we're talking about. For $10 or less they're great to have around and can be a lifesaver.

Thank you. I do have a jig from when I bricked my first Captivate. I got Odin to recognize the phone. Now she is stuck at "Setup Connection"
I must be missing a step somewhere, or, I have something installed that Odin doesn't like.
Let me ask this?
If I installed kk4 with Heimdall, should Odin still recognize the phone in download mode?

Yes. Odin and Heimdall don't care how you flashed to where you are - they only care if the phone is in download mode.
Ok, I reinstalled KK4. I get a screwed up multi color screen. Then the phone boots correctly.
It seems I've missed something. I'm going to have to figure out how to get Odin recognize the phone. To be able to install the ROM I want.
EDIT
I noticed that when my phone reboots, my live wall paper goes back to the phones default wall paper. Does not remember what setting I have placed on the phone.
It sounds like you might have a mismatch between your bootloaders (most likely you have froyo/eclair) and your Rom (a GB rom).
If Heimdall worked, grab one of the Heimdall one-click packages that has bootloaders (you may have to flash twice to get the "flash bootloaders" option). That should straighten you out.
Ok, I'm downloading one now. I'll try it in a few. Thanks again everyone for helping!!
Edit
I tried everything with Odin. Nothing worked.
Heimdall works. I installed Heimdall I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with option to install Bootloaders, Param,and Repartition-Heimdall One-Click. The phone boots good. Everything except games seem to be working for now. Still have to figure out how to get Odin to work to load that "SAMMY 1.5" ROM.
