Since he just factory reset a stock rom, it isnt set to debugging mode, so adb isnt an option...

Good point...hmmmmmm

Because you cant push a launcher or get into any settings menu, my only suggestion would be to flash a new rom. And assuming that the rom you just flashed (being completely stock), you wont have the 3 button combo although I suggest you try it. (Im not sure about the combos for 2.2 roms).
If you cant get into recovery/download through any method, my next suggestion is to buy/build a JIG and force your device into download mode, by which you can use ODIN to flash a rom.
You can make a jig for about a dollar or buy one for about 10. (Best purchase i made). Just take a look around the forums for more info on this.

yes i can get into where it says reboot system now,reinstall packages delete data ya know. not much experiance

and i can still get the usb modes when i plug in usb. kies media player mass storage.just an amature

Not sure if it would work...but odin3 v1.0 had a option for enable debug .could he just do that? Then adb push /system/app/launcher.apk? See pic

There is a Canadian Odin one click somewhere. Look harder.

Canadian one click using Heimdall not Odin. Good news is Heimdall is cross platform and can be used on PC, Mac, and Linux. Read the thread and the instructions are in the OP. Good Luck!

That's where the download is for the package for Canadian stock. I am not at my pc to walk you through where the package goes on Heimdall.

That's because Kies isn't supported in the US and you don't need it anyway! Glad to hear you're up and running again.

That's the link for the Canadian Stock Heimdall package.
Be careful when flashing ROMS, be certain to read the instructions carefully and read the thread too, usually you will find all the information you need, any problems to expect and how to recover from these problems. Good Luck and happy flashing!

{REF} ODINv1 The Visual Guide

Hello all. If you are as tired of this ODIN method as i am, than you on the same boat. This sucks. But its all we have. So i have made a visual guide to odin. Attached below.Its a JPEG. Feel free to download it, rather than flip from pages to pages to find it. Thanks again. Any other requests please email me [email protected]
Here goes.
REMEMBER PEOPLE I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DECIDE TO BLOW UP THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, WARS, FIGHTS, and in NO WAY responsible for bricking if
Trust me, i have been in this scene 2 years now, since the g1, and i can bet that this phone will continue to blow peoples minds with its capabilities. This ODIN, is pre-historic. But the best way. I know there are 45 other flashing programs, guides, but none of them helped me like i bet this will help you. If you need any more screenshots of the process shoot me an email, or gtalk. Thanks again guys/girs.

Glad i could help guys. Anything else, let me know.
thanks!
Thanks Groid!
I have not used Odin yet as I am new to Android, but I am positive I will at some point.
One thing that would really help this guide would be all the necessary files that you reference. I know they can be found via a search.... but it can be pretty nerv-racking when trying what you need when your device is dying.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks/ Andrew/
You might wanna also add that you need to remove both your sim card and memory card in order for Odin to flash your phone.

Why would you need to remove anything, I've used ODIN about seven times and the only thing I had to do was have the phone in download mode...

+1 It is not necessary to have odin flash your kernel.
maybe mixed results? for me, i cant flash back to stock nor can i flash the kernal without removing both sim and memory card. if i have the sim and memory card inserted it gets stuck at the "zimage" part.
I've had it stick there before too, but I usually just close odin, unplug my phone, open odin again, and plug my phone in again. usually after that it works

They say so, i do, but once did with them in, and i was okay. But better to be safe than sorry.
And i will be posting the links to the various files, or the page that has the linkage, it is in the Bible along with this guide. Anything else let me know.

Its a joke people..
Thanks for this. While I felt like I had the steps in my head right for flashing ODIN...It was super helpful to have a pic reference.
does anyone know what the differences are between the 512 pit file and the 803 pit file floating around? Im assuming there different partition size layouts but whats the deal? I guess people have flashed the 803 pit file and it works the same as the 512 but what really changes i have yet to find??
please delete. answer found.
You justg saved my butter! My Bionix butter that is. Thanks guys, you guys are the best
the difference i do know is that the 803 pit file changes your entire system, and the way it runs. It sets it up differently, thats why you need it for generally most Froyo's or deviations of the i9000 2.2 (803.pit).
So other than a number, and a file system change .. not a thing
This was working just fine until I installed Master Rom 1.1 Now I can't use Odin. It'll load like it always did, I go to download mode and get everything set right on Odin and it Go and then it hangs. I've tried this process now 20 times to no avail. Any ideas what's hanging it up?

OK I bought an used Captivate is firmware is 2.3.3
baseband i897uckf1
Kernel 2.6.35.7-i897uckf1-cl273832
build.number gingerbread. Uckf1
My problem is that I think it's rooted but no superuser.apk. so I downloaded it from the market, but it tells me that the binary is outdated. I tried to update the binary but su force closed. I tried super one click method, also many other ways to root but when I got into recovery there's no options for reinstall package . Also it doesn't have the 3 button combo to boot into recovery. So I want to go back to stock and go from there and see if I can root and start using custom roms. What can I do? Wolf's toolbox already soft bricked my brothers captivate so any options so I don't go blind here.?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I would use odin to put the phone on a stock firmware. I've done this on an epic 4G, a sister to the captivate . I'm sure there's a guide to use odin and stock firmware somewhere on the forum. After its stock reroot and blah blah etc. That way you know everything is done right if you did it yourself.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
ok but do i need any boot loaders? because i read that going from gingerbread to stock you need bootloaders.
also theres 3 stocks f6, h2, h3 so which one is the safest one to flash? i really dont want to brick the phone
You already have gingerbread bootloaders so you don't need to touch them (its safer to not mess with bootloaders). If your looking for gingerbread stock its KH3 use this one with no bootloaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269524

OK thanx for that now with my problem rooting the phone. Theres no option for reinstall packages and when i try to update the binaries it FC, What can I doo to root and flash Roms? Thanx again
If your going to Flash a ROM on it there is no need to Root.

Im kinda confused..... in order to flash the rom I need rom manager and ton use rom manager I need root permissions so, any other way?????
Man thanx alot, I flash H3 and my recovery changed, I'm such a dumbass, well trial and error as they say, right. Many many thnx.
If you follow the link captain Nero gave you it is to an Odin packaged GB ROM. You don't use room manager for this, you flash you're phone using Odin from a widows computer.
Also you don't need root to flash with Odin.

Yes my bad, I meant custom roms, because when I booted into recovery before flashing the GB Rom from the link, all I got was the original recovery as I posted on the photo. But now thanx to you guys everything is up and running. Again many thanx
Just use a kernel with CWM cooked with it. You can use Boog's KH3 cwm kernel or Design Gear's KF1 cwm Kernel (step 2)

Try reinstalling the drivers...
So, after a long time i came across it again, sorry for waking the thread from the dead, but its better than just to create a new one. So im fairly new to flashing samsung firmware, so to speak i have no idea how it goes. I have a htc and its fairly simple. So now i connected it and widnows installed the drivers and i did kies.

[Q] My exhibit 4g is not acting up correctly

Hello guys,
This phone is giving me headaches. Once I rooted the phone is not allowing me to to flash CWM and nothing at all but continue stock. Im looking like a paranoid for the Pit file and the flash rom for me to go stock 100% but there is nothing in the forum to well organized I guess that I have missed looking for it or getting lucky to find it.
Im on 2.3.3 right now and the more I do factory reset the more the superuser stays installed. Pleas advise how to successfully flash my phone from scratch for me to install one of the custom ported roms we have in the forum.
I came from Samsung Vibrant with an experience of more then 1000 flashes. I think the bad thing about this phone is that we have to navigate over 7 different forums to get the info correctly and is very confusing.
Guys I also dont have Network Signal meaning I cant use the phone.
Thanks guys very much for any help

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help ;)

Stuck at Samsung Boot image. PLZZZ help. Will "DONATE" to whom ever that can help
Hi guys,
Please help me fix my Note 5!!!
Quick background story:
Bought it on ebay "As Is". Guy said it got stuck while using Samsungs smart switch software. Phone still has intact Knox ("0") so warranty is intact.
But I dont want to take the warranty exchange route yet. It is on 6.0.1 PD2 or PH2 (i forget, I am at work at the momemnt) because thats what smart switch says
that it is going to restore.
Things I have done: (Used multiple cables, using Win10)
- Tried Emergency restore via Smart Switch. -- No success. It says something like cant restore.
- Used Odin 3.7 & 3.12.6 to flash stock PD2 or PH2 firmware. Odin flashes the rom now (it wasnt earlier) and when the phone reboots it stays at "Samsung Logo" and
doesnt move on.
- Cant get to recovery. It just does nothing when holding the buttons.
- I can only get to Download screen.
So, I dont know what to do now. I was able to get my previous note 5 working by using odin but this one is just stuck.
I would really appreciate all the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
So I tried going to the link and unfortunately it did not work . The software to repack the (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img) does not work for some reason. Tried using 7zip, but I cant find a way to combine the 3 img files into .tar files. What am I missing here?
Spent another 3 hours after work today fiddling with this . The wife is def not happy.
Any other suggestions?
Plzzz help a guy out.
You can try to install TWRP recovery by odin. Boot into download mode then connect your phone to the computer. Once done you will need to download some files which will install the recovery by odin. Next hold the volume up, power, and home button until twrp recovery comes up then connect the storage to your pc and install a custom rom and hopefully this might fix it. This will void warranty so do this at your own risk.
