[q] odin3 help!

I have a samsung i9000 with stock JF3 and had rooted and lag fixed it but was having problems downloading apps, paid at first then all downloads begun to fail.. Anyway I tried to use ODIN3 to re-flash the original firmware but to no avail!! I took the battery sim card and sd card out put the phone in download mode, Then started odin3 and connected the phone. Odin3 can see the port but just stays on analysing files... Have then disconnected and tried over and over and over... so many times I don't care to remember. It never gets passed the analysing files. It did fail twice, but that was something to do with samsung kies stealing the COM port (I think!!). Anyway thought I would try and update the firmware through samsung kies. But just get the unable to upgrade this firmware. Which I'm surprised at as most seem to have the option think its to do with my firmwares but not sure.
If anyone could shed light on this also it would be much appreciated!!
Code XXJF3, Modem XXJF3, CSC XENJF3
Anyway to the point of this topic. I Now want to just flash the new Firmware myself but am wondering, If I could not connect odin3 to re-flash the original firmware... Am I going to have problems re-flashing with downloaded firmware! Am thinking there's a great chance of bricking my phone. Doing it all in the correct order so dont understand why it wont connect!!!
Also is there another way/program I could use to flash my device???

You could try using Samsung Kies to install the JM1 official firmware

Disconnect all usb devices except mouse and kb and try again. Best to use windows xp. A powered usb Hub helped me too. I think sgs drains too much power from usb ports

Thanks I shall try that!, got lots of USB's plugged in... I am on xp... If this does not work though, is there an alternative to ODIN3??? or am I stuck on stock JF3... As that would be unbearable.. no samsung update and cant do it myself!!!! I have noticed a few of the senior members do live in Holland, so I shall put it out there that if one of you nice dutch fella's who know's what your doing wouldn't mind having a look at my sgs for me I would be very much greatfull! Holland isn't the biggest of places so I would be willing to travel.... Thats how much I wanna get this sorted!!

Subject Solved
Well I have found the answer!!... Well for me anyway!
I was following the information everywhere as to how to put my SGS into downoad mode!: Volume up + home + Power button... I was assuming this was correct as it was loading up with an android menu with the following options: Restart phone, Update via update.zip, restore to factory settings. I thought while in this I was in download mode. No I wasn't!! LOL... God knows how many times I was trying to connect odin3 and to no avail. I have now found out if i press volume down + home + power button... walaaaa A big green android man doing what appeared to be some digging (Didn't stay on screen long) also with DOWNLOADING in huge green letters... I am now assuming this maybe download mode and I will have better joy attaching my SGS to odin now... If I am wrong someone may slap me in the face with a giant swordfish and leave me for the rats!

[Q] kies never recognises galaxy s

am i the only one having trouble with this piece of sh*t software?
dont get me wrong i love this phone but i can never connect to kien
i've tried everything but nothing seems to work. when i connect the phone via usb cable it sees it i select kies and the software seaches for the phone but it just hangs on connecting and u can see the bar moving from left to right but it never seems to connect.
they've developed a great phone but its software is a piece of junk. f**k u samsung i should have got an iphone with my upgrade.
im running win7 x64 with the latest kiens software. can anyone help????

1. Download new Kies update. ( go to google and write Samsung Kies and you will see the official site ). After downloading, install it, then click yes to make it new, then it will say, install it again. Do it again. ( choose your official language and country where you live. Open Kies, then close Kies )
2. Go to Setting --> About Phone --> USB settings --> Mass Storage
3. No USB Debugging
4. Connect the USB - mount and then open Kies.

And for God's sake, make sure you're not using a third party launcher.
Cheers,
BS...

search on forum... kies is ok, u r not

I've got the latest and greatest Kies, disabled Launcher Pro, Done the 16 digit extension fix and still hangs on connecting. The MTP app starts okay but it Kies just hangs. Also on Win 7 64

I don't know about your Kies but mine doesn't like Mass Storage mode and wants to be connected via the MTP.

have the same issues...
i even went as far as to factory reset and format my sd...
installed kies... upadated to the latest version...
on the device itself it show thats the MTP is 'connected'
but that damn bar keep going back and forth and never connects!!!

although i am sure most of you already know, after getting almost suicidal trying to make kies work on W7x64, i have tried the last resort: deactivated LauncherPro. Miracle, kies works perfect now, every single time... Simply activating LauncherPro again, and the **** comes back: kies never work.

kies sucks so bad... wow...
wtf i just want to fix my 3 button issue :\

Exactly the same here boss. I pulled out so much hair over this I now have twice as much face to wash in the morning!
;o)
BS...

god damned kies i managed to sort it out,
i installed some samsung galaxy s x64bit drivers from some random site and it seems to work everytime now!
hang on lemme try it again just to be sure b4 i post this.....
YES!!!! it connected at first attempt!!!! rofl......
btw thanks guys i didnt know kies didnt recognise launcher pro lol as well.
download cleardefaulthome from android market for quick reversal of both homes.
search for galaxy s x64 drivers on softpedia

thanks man... it works.

[Q] No connection to Kies since update to JVO

Hello,
since I updated to JVO Firmware i cannot connect to kies anymore.
I need to restore my contacts.
I already tired a few things:
-Unmount SD Card
-Format internal sd card
-Reinstalled Kies and USB drivers
PDA: XXJVO
Phone: XXJVO
CSC: OXAJVO (DBT)
If somebody could help than that would be great.
Thanks

USB must be a mainboard connection .
Remove Kies download latest Kies .
Remove all USB drivers of that port with USBDeview .
Install Kies connect phone mass storage mode and let windows find drivers exit and load Kies .
jje

That should work.. just remember, Kies is garbage and it may take several tries... make sure debuggins off

Nope.
Exactly did it like you said JJEgan.
After I installed Kies I connect the phone in mass storage mode (kies not running), right? (of course before i deleted all usb devices with the program)
Then I disconnect again. Switch to Samsung Kies mode and start Kies right? Then after Kies is runnning I conenct my phone.
The Strange thing is there is this windows sound of "Connected" and "Disconnected". But after this there is no "connected" sound again?!
Annother idea how i can get it fixed? Sorry but Kies is really garbage.

by any chance are you using a custom launched, like launcherpro or awlauncher?
cause if you are kies will never sync with your device. so you will need to use stock launcher ( TWlauncher ) and try to connect again via Kies
if not then im clueless
good luck

I found out that the Problem was FuguRoot!!!
Unfortunately it still does not work by copying the 2 files onto the phone.
Maybe of the version difference. I have XXJVO_XXJVO_OXAJVO and in the other thread it says KVO_JVO_JVO (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010141&page=7)
Unfortunately I cannot post in this thread. Can somebody ask for me for the JVO_JVO_JVO version? Thanks

Hey RorixRebel ,
thanks for your suggestion.
I am not using any extra launcher.
But mabe it is not only the FuguRoot but also something else.
Because my dad can also not connect to Kies and he has NOT the FuguRoot.
First I want to try to copy the correct 2 files to my phone and see if this will fix it.
Thx

Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Today I am a little bit quick with writing posts.
It worked after a restart of Kies and my Phone. Haha
Thanks so much for the help.
Now I will try fixing my dads Phone.

Problem Solved
My phone had the fuguroot and missed 2 files that are necessary to connect to Kies (still looking how to undo the fuguroot). If you follow the link above then you can get the 2 missing files from that thread.
My dads phone just had USB Debugging activated. Thats why it didn't work.
Thanks for your help again.

[Q]

Well, my problem is that my phone won't recognize any computer as a computer, but only as a source for battery charging. when i plug it into a computer the battery starts charging but i don't get the USB sign.
the thing is that it used to work. i usually just pluged the phone in and it would work, and suddenly out of the blue it stopped working and i have no idea why. i've done nothing on the computer between the last time it worked and the time it stopped working, i wasn't even using the computer during that time, so it must be something on the phone settings, but i checked it a little and found nothing that looks like the problem, but i rly don't understand much about it..
any ideas?

It sounds like a driver issue.
If you're using a Samsung firmware, reinstall the drivers. This can be done by finding them online, or by installing Kies. If you're using CM7/Miui, Samsung drivers won't work. You'll need to uninstall Kies (or kill the process to make sure it's not running in Task Manager) and then install the Nexus S drivers. Again, a simple search will provide the files you need.
If it's not a driver issue, I really don't know what it could be. But I would definitely try reinstalling the appropriate drivers first.

Go to Settings>Applications>Development and if USB debbugging is flagged,deflag it!

Try with a different USB cable.

Try to reinstall Kies or one of the steps that I've read here:
http://www.androidgalaxys.net/suite...problemi-connessione-collegamento-usb-galaxy/
Translated:
Make sure you have installed the latest version of Kies (currently 2.0.1).
For owners of Windows Vista / Seven Kies launch in admin mode
Connect your phone to your PC using the default launcher from Samsung (TouchWiz)​​. Alternative launcher may not be recognized by Kies. Close any programs in the background on your phone and PC.
Make sure that in Settings> Wireless and Networking> USB Settings is selected Samsung Kies or Ask the connection.
If you already selected, try to choose any item and then set one of the two mentioned.
Try using another USB port on PC. Not all USB ports may be able to deliver the power needed to power the device.
Restart both the phone and your PC.
Try reinstalling the drivers of the Galaxy. To do this open Kies, go to the Tools menu and then install drivers.
Try using another USB cable.

ok, I tried everything but switching cable coz i know it works...
here's the weird thing: I tried connecting my phone to 3 different computers, 1 worked and the other 2 (including mine) didn't work.
the thing is that the other computer that didn't work and the computer that did work never touched a Samsung before, so basicaly i have no idea what would make one of them work and the other not to work.
I'm really confused.

Try going into device manager and see if there are any devices flagged with '!'
If not, find your samsung device from device manager, and uninstall it and delete all drivers, then reinstall them.
Try that. It may just be a windows issue, I've had similar problems before but not even with a phone, but a flash drive.

well, tonight the computer restarted itself because of some updates, now it seems to magicaly work, even though i restarted it before.
i have no idea y it suddenly started working, but i can only hope it wouldn't happen again.
thank you all, you guys are great!

SGS GT-i9000 fozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)

I own a Galaxy S GT-i9000( bought at SFR)
When I connect it to computer I get the prompt that tells to choose between Storage, Kies...
But whatever I choose the computer tells me USB Device not recognised.
Now I was stupid enough to do the following:
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got rom manager and updated my recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775169
The Mobile Network was not working so I did the following
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working. So even though I enter into the Download mode I am not able to use Odin. If you know somthing that I am not doing, let me know.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode. Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

You can try using Mobile Odin.
Also, you can try Heimdall method: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-flashing-to-original-rom-using-heimdall.126/

Hey
have you tried to connect it in Download mode??

Need more solutions
Thanks again to all of you that have answered me so fast.
Well I just finished trying all that you suggested.
unfortunately am still at the same point. Whatever I do, whatever drivers am putting in, cleaning inside the USB port with methylated spirit... Not getting Odin or Kies to detect it.
I read somewhere that when the data connection works, I should see the device named Samsung Device even before installing the drivers, but all I am getting is Unknown device. I still went ahead uninstalling and installing the drivers you provided and there is no successful outcome so far.
I still have faith. I have a little knowledge in electronics. I can open my phone and get to the usb port. My problem is I don't get any tutorial on how to replace the usb port. The thing is the connections are very tiny. I can also do with a bypass way that could make me install a 2nd usb port temporarily just long enough to flash the phone.
Or a hardware solution if I have to remove and flash a specific IC in a certain manner.
Thank you in advance.

hi there,
after doing alot of stuff to your phone that wasnt nessacary i'm not surprised it doesnt work er sorry . the only thing i can think of is the following whenever i have a problem with windows i go to linux, which is faster , much more efficient . so i suggest that you install linux ( ubuntu the best ) and try using odin with the linux version, it often detects things that windows doesnt see. other than that sorry cant think of anything else .
see ya

Trying it

Am back to my start point.
Thank you though.

Anything Else?
Does anyone have something else to suggest or I should consider my phone dead?
Look like a quite number of people are having this same issue and haven't got over it.
I just hang on and appeal to all of you cos I know XDA is the best place where I can get a solution.
Lemme know any suggestion... even the ones you are not sure can help. Am willing to do anything.
Thanks again all of you.
