So I've downloaded the following kernels from a link here on XDA that should be swapping kernels to allow me root on my recently upgraded, stock ROGERS 2.3.3 Captivate. Odin is telling me to "Check image files !!" when I load the .tar files into the Select Intergrated Package (and yes, the one package switch is on). I opened the tar to double check it wasn't double-compressed.
What else would be giving me this problem? I'm using Odin 4.28. Curiously, it is showing my phone as detected, my phone IS in downloading mode, but Odin just says (Android) in the Title, no specific model. But it says it's found it on COM 6. <1> Added!! and Detected!!
It's when I load up the kernel tar's and try to start that it yells at me. Is this triggering anything in anyone's mind that I'm doing wrong? Or do I need to provide more info?
I am using Vista 32-bit (legit) on a Dell studioXPS. And I ran it as administrator.
never heard of ODIN 4.28. i think its only up to version 1.82 or so.
sounds like you are using the wrong ODIN

Yeah. That is def the wrong version of Odin. Download the i9000 bootloaders in my sig. Unzip it. Delete the pda.tar.md5 file. Use the included version of Odin (1.82 I think) to flash your kernel.
Alright, quick question - I accidentally flashed the phone, not the pda. I tried to flash the KH2 modem back via phone but ODIN failed. Kies is currently not detecting the phone, and so I decided to try flashing the PDA while I had it open and I would figure the modem out after. ODIN hung, so I closed it and rebooted out of downloading mode and got the Phone ! Computer error. So I figure now I have to flash back to the stock rom and start over again, but this time I would like some advice as to which step to take next. I downloaded I896UXKH2-HOMEBINARY.tar.md5 from another thread here. Can I flash this with Odin - and if so, which is the place to load it? Bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC? I have no PIT files.
Think it goes into the pda slot. Go back to the thread t you got it from and read the first post of the thread. Also restart your computer before trying to flash again.
can someone upload the modem.zip, please thank you

I've got Odin to recognize my Captivate. I clicked start and it tells me to check the image files. I haven't mounted anything into Odin but I have the ROM & firmware I want on my desktop. Any idea what I'm supposed to do at this point ?

it all depends on what version of ODIN you are using. there are One Click Odins for stock JF6 2.1 and JI6 2.2
if you are using the standalone ODIN, you need to point the pda section to the rom and depending on what rom you are loading, you may need the pit file, phone (modem) file, and CSC file.
explain a little bit better what you mean by you have the ROM and firmware on your desktop?
Hi,
I also got my samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 (in download mode) hooked up to odin (multi downloader 4.03), but whenever i try to flash a custom rom (created in romkitchen.org) it keeps saying ''check the image files !!'' i selected the 'one package' option, and i selected the rom at the bottom ''select integrate package'' section..
I'm clueless right now, please help?

wait. you made a CWM flashable rom from romkitchen, and you are trying to use ODIN to flash it???
wtf
and not to mention you are on the captivate section.....not the i9000 section
if you keep this up you will have a brick in no time
Good day!
I'm on Win 7 64 bit and did all the procedures here, ran zadig, etc., before I went to download mode and ran Heimdall....
However, after I ran Heimdall and chosen the files the "Start" button on Heimdall is still grayed out so I cannot start the flashing process...
Any help will be highly appreciated.
***Added: have reseached and was even able to flash using odin on my TAB... I need to bring back my TAB to its original DXKM3 firmware and do not have the firmware to use for odin, that's why I'm trying to use heimdall...
***Also tried it on my laptop with the same results...

Uncheck the partition box. Whenever it's grayed out, it means that for one of your options you haven't met the pre-reqs. For example partition requires a PBL, SBL and a recovery file I believe. Error -12 after clicking start refers to a driver issue.
Lets see if I can explain this how I think you're stating it....
Odin and Heimdall are flashing programs. They're only purpose is to write data to your phone.
Unlike, say, the HD2, which has cLK and Magldr for bootloaders and requires the ROM to be written for that bootloader, there are not separate versions for Odin and Heimdall.
It's only a matter of knowing what files need to go where and in which program.
Odin and Heimdall do the exact same thing, only Odin was a leaked software and Heimdall was written specifically for Galaxy S devices.
Hope this helps

Okay, I'll try the partition part and see if it works, but I beleive it's not checked as I put no file in it... As for the second post, yes, I have found the firmware I need but it's extracted and not in tar form... That's why I need heimdall...
Maybe if somebody can point me on how to compile it to TAR again I'll just use odin...
***Added: I got my hands on a DXKM3 firmware that came with my phone here. Now if someone can help me put those files again in the TAR format I would be very glad... Getting heimdall to work would, too...
Thanks for the replies!!!
You're right!!! I failed to notice that factory.rfs is not yet extracted, and "Start" magically became selectable!!!
I feel kinda stupid... T_T
Was able to flash now... Thanks for the help guys!!!
Hey guys... ok i have been looking and cant seem to find how to rectify this issue... i am really stuck and would appreciate any help possible..
Ok so i had stock 2.2 on my captivate, n tried to install a gingerbread rom using mobiletechvideos easy step guide using this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOyx5JQ_8_I
... in doing that the first step of installing the bootloaders through odin, i inserted the pda files but it freezes at setup connection... now i think its soft bricked as i can still put it in download mode.. the thing is i have tried one click odin to revert back to 2.1 or 2.2 but it stops at set pit file... and then do not turn off target... its been here for over 25 mins n nothing... i have kept trying a couple of times and sometimes it wud just say fail.. Guys again i am sorry if this in the wrong place or has been brought up before.. i tried looking and was not able to find anything..
Thanks
Well your first issue there he says flash to stock 2.1 jf6 you where on 2.2 Unless your phone is a newer build 2.1 is always better to flash then 2.2. What build is your phone?
Reboot your computer, swap usb ports to one that is in the back attached to the motherboard (if already back there swap to a different one in the back) or port #1 on a laptop. Right click odin and run as administrator.
Thanks for the responses..
Yeah i know it said do it on 2.1, i figured it cud have worked on 2.2 i guess i was wrong... n in terms of switching port, odin still recognizes the port as i get the yellow screen but it doesn't move from there...???
It doesn't matter what's on the phone 2.1, or 2.2. **** you can be in a custom rom (I made the jump from firefly). If you are using odin its the same, if it will write 2.1 over anything why wouldn't do it for 2.3.3? No Difference.. The only way 2.2 would matter is if you weren't using odin then you would have to get around 3e recovery. But download mode is underneath the firmware does not matter what is on it odin will overwrite it.
And odin can be super touchy with the usb ports. And although it sees it the flash fails if odin is on the rag and didn't take any midol.

again thanks for your help studacris... so basically if odin can read it but nothing happens i am screwed... i really need to know if there is absolutely anything else i can do to fix this as this is my only means of communication.. i am lost without my cappy...
Are you sure you are using a Motherboard usb port and that you are running on Admin? If odin is being stupid you can look in to Heimdall

Try a different version of odin. If that dont work then use Heimdall
You can go to samfirmware.com-US SGS download wich ever version u want (id use JF6) download and decompress. Each .md5 file you need to decompress as well and get out the individual file in them. Here is a good how too with heimdall from mobiltechvideos. Hope this helps

Im not sure about your error but the Jf6 from samfirmware has FactoryFS, Param.lfs, Cache, Database Data, Modem and Recovery(Zimage). Maybe you put a file in the wrong place?
Thanks but istn't the zimage supposed to be for the kernel... i haven't inserted anything into the recovery field...
i am rite now left clueless
No your right. Its the kernel I had a brain fart. Well I honestly Do not know whats wrong, Im assuming you ran Heimdall as Admin... Well **** man any way you have access to another machine? Im out of ideas maybe someone else can help. =/
Hey thanks i really appreciate the help ...
guys if anyone else can help me out it would be really appreciated... the phone is all i got and i really need it to work today... i am just restarting my computer and will try again hopefully it will work otherwise i am out of options...
Ok restarted and giving the same issue...
"Failed to retrieve config descriptor"
what the hell is that???
Recently I flashed my SGS i9000 to CM10 with CWM and then CM9. Now I want to downgrade to the stock GB rom. Is there any clean instruction to do that? I've searched for a long time to have a clear idea about the exact procedure and found several tutorials. But they are confusing. Some says that I have to use Odin with the re-partition option checked but someone says, don't do that. What exactly should I do? Which version of Oding should I use? Should I flash with Bootloader/ update Bootloader?
Another question is, which is the latest stock GB rom? Please help me providing download link.
How I do it every time:
Go to sammobile.com. From there download XXJW4 (I use it). Unzip it and you'll find just one .tar file.
Also beforehand go find a file named dbdata.rfs (I think it is).
Open Odin with your phone connected in download mode. Click on PDA and navigate to the .tar file.
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THAT.
Press start. Give it a moment while it flashes everything in.
Now your phone will boot- in a bootloop. Dom't worry. Take the battery out, reconnect and go into download mode. Connect and open Odin.
Again, click on PDA and find dbdata.rfs. Again, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.
Press start. It'll flash in that one file.
Done.

I rooted my phone and wanted to flash back to stock so I can update with the OTA and re-root, but I downloaded the zip for the AT&T tar files and everything seemed to pass MD5 checks and went okay, but as soon as I hit Start, the program just continues to say NAND Write Start for over 20 minutes, and won't flash, how do I go about re-trying this without bricking my device? It's still plugged in atm in download mode.
What version of Odin are you using? I had this problem because I had v3.10 and the s6 is not compatible with that version, you have to have v3.10.6.
Mine did that, I closed odin, reopened, put each .md5 file in right section (AP in AP, BL in BL, CSC in CSC, ect) and it worked
If Odin is having trouble flashing to your phone. Here is some simply tips and tricks to try.
1. Try flashing everything except for the bootloader .
2. Try running Odin as admin.
3. Try upgrading to the newest Odin available.
4. If all else fails, open Samsung Kies, and go to emergency recovery, put your model # and serial # in, and it will flash your phone to stock for you, then you can try again.
5. Also make sure all of the correct drivers are installed for your phone, sometimes Windows can be bad about that. Try getting drivers from samsung directly.
6. Try a new USB Cable, as crazy as that is, I have had some not work, and others work fine.
7. Try a different USB Port on the PC, or restart the PC.
I hope this helps.
I tried just flashing the ROM and CSC and it flashed just fine, I left out the CP file, what is that? Everything seems fine just flashing the ROM and CSC, but do I need to flash the CP file too, for anything?
CSC is the consumer software customization and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
I hope this helps
I didnt get it. Do you mean to put each .md5 file in all sections? ? Please help me

Please help me out. I am having same problem NAND WRITE stuck.
Solved
Thanks everyone for your post. But what I did is, just downloaded the Odin v3.10.6......that worked with S6. And I guess S6 is not compatible to other earlier versions of odin. So better try with Odin v3.10.6.
Nand write start fail solved
I have solved using Odin3 v3.10.7 with firmware VZW-G920VVRU4BOK7-20151211140939 and Windows 7 for Galaxy S6 SM-G920V

Yes, I gave up but a friend of mine found a thread that talks about using Kies to bring it back to factory default. You need to know the serial # and IMEI # If you can find this information, you can reset it using Kies.
Had the same problem. Used Odin 3.10.6
But before all this, I connected phone with debugging enabled in windows and authorized it, the problem never resurfaced
