[Q] Odin3 stopped while installing JH3... Help?

Hey guys,
While on my way to the super root patch ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751934&highlight=stock ), I first am trying to install JH3. I got Odin3 v1.00, put the .tar in the PDA box, and clicked start. Here's the log:

It hasn't changed in about 10 minutes. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Pull the battery, get back into download mode with the key combo and start again. Odin is finicky and sometimes takes more than one try.

Well the log says "removed" so somehow your USB connection got interrupted... which means your phone is going to be in Phone/Computer screen hell.
Close Odin, unplug your phone, pull out your battery/sim/sdcard.
Open Odin, put in your battery, attach USB, and hold both volume buttons without applying power to get back into download mode to try again
If that doesn't work:
Unplug the phone from everything, hold both buttons and power... keep holding power till the screen turns off, continue holding power- the screen will turn off a second time, at that point release power and continue holding the volume buttons and you *should* get the download screen

Thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, Odin doesn't seem to see that it's connected. I don't see anything in the ID:COM boxes. I changed USB ports, nothing. Should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

Odin won't see it unless the phone is powered up in download mode, if you've gotten it to download mode and Odin still can't see it then yeah... your drivers might be fubar

Odin tends to work best for me if I get everything set up in Odin just short of pressing the start button before connecting the phone to the computer and putting it in download mode. Maybe it's superstition, but it seems to help me avoid some of those timeout issues.

I'm curious..what happens when you remove and replace battery, hold power up and hit power...wall o text?

Got it! Everything installed, super root added. Thanks for all your help!

Ok I apologize if this isnt where this belongs, but i have yet to find an answer i understand. Is odin a program that i can download to a desk top computer and run? I keep seeing open odin and do this , open odin and plug in phone. its always sounds like an easy step, but for someone who doesnt know how to even get odin, it has prevented me from doing alot of things with my phone. I see "needs odin' an i move on to the next thread I know its a firmware to help flash roms, but that is about it please educate a supernoob lol

I understand what you mean, I just got my captivate yesterday and spent a six+ hours figuring that stuff out. I think I might try to write up the steps I went throigh to help other Android noobs like me. I'm coming from an iphone so this is all new for me. The good news: I figured it all out finally and so can you. I now have JH3 installed, and the super root mod, overclocked and evertything. My quadrant score went from stock of around 900 something to 2160 after all the tweaks I applied. I cant wait to see how it performs with 2.2!
Ok, so basically heres what i figured out; to use Odin, you'll need a firmware image, and Odin will be included. I recommend upgrading to JH3 and installing SuperRoot. It makes everything pretty painless. SuperRoot installs lagfix, root, and much much more all at once.
Search for the SuperRoot thread (IIRC). In there is a link to instructions on how to restore your phone to stock. Look for the thread on JH3 and get that image. Post 6 in that thread has instructions, and the restore to stock thread has more of an explanation. Then, you can do whatever else you need. HTH.
Ill get on my pc in a minute a put the links in here.

Follow the instructions on the next two links to flash to JH3. The fist link is for JH2, but the directions still work. Just download the JH3 firmware.

This page has all the files you need:

You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."
Once you've restored, you can follow the instructions for the first link I gave (SuperRooterExtreme). Or, you can do whatever else you want. This is just what I figured out yesterday.
I know what it's like to not know what Odin is! Took me forever to figure it out, I downloaded all kinds of stupid crap before I got it right.

The odin I downloaded from the samsung firmware website is only 167kb and an unknown file that won't open what's that about

The phone is not bricked at this point. As long as you can get into download mode you can flash with odin.
Odin 3 back to stock is your best option

I had a similar error happen to my phone... I tried to flash back to stock with Odin, but after it RESET my phone, I got nowhere. Plugging it in while not in download mode just gave me two screens flashing back and forth, the little wheel (frozen), then the little wheel and an empty batter (frozen). If I turn it on, I get the att boot screen, then black, then boot screen, so on. I tried booting into recovery in a million different ways, no good. I can get the phone into download mode easily enough, but Odin keeps doing the same exact thing.... help?
EDIT:
Did it again... Here's where Odin gets to, then it shuts my cappy off, begins to boot again. Got the att screen, then the frozen battery/wheel again.

Odin will work I just went through the same thing 2 days ago it took like 15 tries and then I pulled battery for 10 Sec along with sim and sd card, plugged in usb opened Odin held volume and power then put battery in and ran Odin and it loaded perfect. Just a suggestion that u may want to try. Good luck!

Boot into recovery and master clear with odin one click jf6, of you can't get into recovery then master clear with the phone booted as far as it will go.
Reflash jf6 in download mode after the master clear. You might need to restart odin before you flash after the master clear, it's weird like that.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm trying to make a Factory Odin Flash for the Samsung Galaxy S "Showcase" for Cellular South!!! Hardware wise it's the same as the Fascinate and Mesmerize, just a little LITTLE different software...
I started off trying THESE instructions (steps 5-9) using a Rooted Stock Showcase to pull the files...
but as you can see on my THREAD we haven't had much success..
Is there any more files I need to be pulling, I see that most Odin Stock Flash files have more than just the 4 files I'm including which are:
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096

How to restore stock

My rooted T-mobile Note did not like the OTA update it received today (hung at the samsung logo). I reflashed the rooted UVLG3 firmware image, following the instructions at http://androidlegend.com/how-to-root-t-mobile-galaxy-note-sgh-t879/. This worked, and I'm ignoring the OTA update for now.
I don't need root anymore, i didn't really use it anyways, I would like to get back to stock.
How do i get back to the stock/factory image? From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837907, I see items B (T879-STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE) and D (T879-STOCK BOOT IMAGE). In ODIN, do I need to load one or both of these in one the sections (Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC, or UMS) and would i then hit the "Start" button?
Thanks for any help.

Just go to Samfirmware.com and download the tar file for the T879. Put it in the PDA section and start.

Thanks Charlie, that worked! In case any other newbie like me wants to know what to do, this is what i did:
Downloaded/installed Samsung Kies
Downloaded Odin 3.07 from www __ android __ gs
From samfirmware __ com, i searched for T879 and downloaded the file for "SGH-T879 USA (T-Mobile) 2013 January Android 4.0.4 T879UVMA1 T879TMBMA1". The ZIP file "T879UVMA1_T879TMBMA1_TMB.zip" has a large file called "HOME_T879UVMA1_CL892179_REV02_user_mid_ship.tar.md5", which I renamed to .tar
Powered off the phone, removed battery, connected USB cable to computer and phone, inserted battery, press power/vol-up/vol-down then hit vol-up to get into download mode
Started ODIN3 v3.07 (the box read 0:[COM4], message window read "<ID:0/004> Added!!")
Pressed PDA button, loaded the TAR file
Pressed START
Took about 4 minutes, then the green status bar finished, box above says RESET!, phone resets.

The phone automatically reset and started the boot sequence, took a few minutes to load updates, and everything was groovy again. When i connect the phone to Samsung Kies on my computer, it now reads "This is the latest firmware" (used to read something like "we don't what firmware is loaded").

How can i rooting the phone if i want to keep stock rom?
Do i have to do same as regular root?
Thank you.

I did the same but the phone still hangs at the Samsung logo after I get the TMo Galaxy Note logo.
I had CyanogenMod on it with TWRP and tried to do a restore (bad idea) that's when it bricked.
I got a USB jig to get me to download mode so Odin would see it. All was installed just great but still the logo..

Just remember to flash the flash counter zip if u need to send it over to repairs with Samsung cus if they know ur phone is rooted they won't fix it cus rooting a device voids ur warranty... I flashcounter.zip everything I flash a rom... I usually flash that file last...

I had to flash TWRP temporarily and wipe the phones emmc and flash the stock ROM again above instruction and worked. I guess before doing anything you should wipe/factory reset your phone first before flashing the stock ROM, this I can't test but just based on logical explanation.

My solution for being stuck on the Samsung logo
I know the last post was done a year earlier, but I thought I'd share this information I learned yesterday. After numerous flashing attempts My Note was stuck on the samsung logo.
I had soft bricked my Note by not clearing out the data on my phone. The previous post here gave me a clue and not being really good at this, I wasn't able to install and get TWRP to play nice with my non-working stock rom image. But I was still able to get the the Samsung Recovery and Download modes.
The working solution (borrowed from a post by andersbot on another thread) was:
1. Go to Recovery mode. Do a "clear cache" and next a "wipe data". Then reboot.
2. Go to Download mode and then connect to a XP PC and start up Odin. Be sure to use the latest Samsung USB drivers.
3. Flash with Odin using ther stock firmware downloaded from sammobile.com. Only tick the boxes for f.reset time and autoreboot (Odin default). Click PDA and load the downloaded file renamed with .tar at the end instead of .tar.md 5.
I dont know if this was the easiest way to clear the data on my SGH-T879, but it worked, and my Note started up correctly with the stock rom.

A GIANT thank you to @MJHawaii for helping me learn this process!!!

Thank you for this. This has been a very much needed update IMO. Your work is always appreciated here. Whether or not the odin image is rooted, it is an easy fix for sure. Once again thank you. And enjoy the fresh Lolli.

I specifically decided not to use a rooted image this time due to the fact that being rooted blew up the ota for me. I wanted a place to start from that was clean. I figure our first 5.x update was a good place to kick out a new, fresh baseline build.

You read the big red warning at the top of the post!

I9505 and I9505G isnt the same device?
Same way as I9505 ROM works in a I9505G, should happen otherwhise (or no?)

I just installed this and so far everything is working great. One small thing is confusing me though. I can't seem to find the settings for the Home button. When I push it nothing happens, unless I hold it down and then I get the app switcher. I feel really dumb right now. Lol

This is NOT A ROM. Doesn't it SAY that in the OP? Does it not also say that it will brick any device OTHER than an i9505G? They are NOT the same device. They use completely different partition tables. Rom devs take that into account. Since this is not a rom, it will not take that into account.

What rom are you coming from?

Latest Stock 4.4.4 Rooted (I think NF3 but can't tell since I can't start up )

Just installed this last night on my stock S4 GPE. Working flawlessly and the phone feels a lot snappier than with 4.4.4. Lollipop is such a nice update.
Not exactly a problem, but I notice that the stock Android Messenger (SMS/Text) app is gone and that it's now Hangouts that by default handles texts/SMS. I find no separate stock texting app installed, unlike on my Nexus 6 with Lollipop.

Try a different USB cable and./or USB port. See if that makes any difference.

People have been asking about root quite a bit. I put together a new tool for those that aren't sure how to install it on a phone like this.

[Q] Samsung Captivate i897 Hangs at boot.

Hi, Ive followed every idea I could find, nothing is working.
new win7, samsung drivers, adb, .net, and java installed.
I use old ODIN to flash kk4 stock pit, kernel and firmware to it, flashes fine but hangs at end of kernel boot.
Only 1 kk4 heimdall one click detects and flashes, but hangs as well.
new odin doesnt work, but early 3.0 does.
no other 1 clicks detect it, even tho win7 shows composite/model drivers loaded.
I think its at 2.3.5 now, Id like the first rom for this phone, but havent found 2.1 anywhere.
Kies, full or mini says unsupported. but only after it goofs up the drivers.
Ive got a 10 GB folder of files for this phone, but everything Ive tried dun work.
Any ideas or questions?

updates and questions
Can I flash a new recovery menu to it? ie like holding volume up instead of down or both and get the text menu to let me flash a rom from an sd card?
Ive got tons of clockwork CW modded kernels, and have tried some and booting after with key holds of various types.
Corn Kernal flashes and seems to load fine, when I do volume up + power it brings up modem usb upload menu text, anyone know of any stable kernels for i897 that have text recovery menus that will allow reflash?
toronto rom flashes fine, gets rid of at&t boot screen, but comes up i896, which I understand is almost exact?
Ive sat and waited hours for it to reboot after flashing, I tried turning off auto reboot, using various pit files, rom files, one clicks, tars, mdns, etc. etc. in various combinations.
its possible there are errors in some of the files Im getting, but mdn checks out ok..

1. From off, held vol -/+ and plugged in and got downloading...
2. Started Odin 3.0 early, got blue com 3
3. I got to booting into recovery, held 3 button for 4-5 seconds, keeps booting past recovery.
4. Holding any combo of buttons doesnt work, except download mode.
5. Boots past at-t screen to i897 and hangs, if I touch the home button row, they all light up and stay lit.
6. Repeated Odin method twice just to make sure. Same hanging, Going to try the heimdall method now.

heimdall not there?
Speedload isnt listed on that teams site.
found this one click there along with others, ran and detects and flashes fine, but no recovery menu still.
Captivate-GingerbreadBootloaders-TalonDEVkernel-One-Click - Gets to talon load screen and hangs, only download works.
tried speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e-500hz, same hang after kernel.
talon and speedmod loads kernel and hangs, no recovery menu shows after key hold.
Thought it might be vol +, held just vol - and got plugged in, got battery charging screen but not moving.
Download still comes up fine, no other key holds work.

Use another USB port for Odin. Heimdall installs its own drivers to the USB port you use it on.

Recovery is Power + home + vol up.

talon
Tried talon one click - still boots past recovery with vol + and hold and power. Home button is glass touch and not bubble dome. I tried every combo of vol + and glass touch below and power.
going to go back through and try a number of files now and your recovery button combo and see if anything lights up...brb

Am I doing this right? I load toronto in PDA, com ports and drivers all fine.
Click start, wait, it reboots, then stops at Galaxy screen after passing at-t white screen.
Ive left it plugged in and waited, and I've pulled the usb after pass from ODIN, Ive pulled the usb when at-t white screen showed..
Couple of problems Im having...
1. I cant get into recovery with any button combo.
2. I cant adb into recovery as ADB says no device, despite drivers/com port are fine.
3. Some ODIN detect phone, some heimdall, as stated adb doesnt?
4. I cant enable usb debugging as I cant get past galaxy screen.
5. How can I tell what android is actually installed?
6. Are there different key combos in 2.1,2.2,2.5 to get into recovery?
7. ADB driver installer doesnt see phone.
Im guessing I can't send it into adb recovery with usb debugging?
Ive flashed corn kernel, speedmod, I897UCKF1-AutoRoot-DesignGears all trying vol +/home/power button, along with many other combos, always boots past recovery.
Android Control wont detect it, cant use for recovery there either..
Im feeling this is driver issue, what drivers would you guys recommend to get ODIN one clicks, adb, and/or android control to see it.

You're having some odd issues. I'm starting to think that your internal might be the issue. Perhaps try to partition an sd card and flash the ROM on it (there's a guide on here).
1. Button combos are in your Bootloaders, won't change.
2. ADB requires usb debugging.
3. That's drivers oriented, also Odin won't work on the same usb port that you installed Heimdall on.
4. That answers your ADB problem.
5. Only by flashing the ROM/firmware or getting in recovery.
6. Yes, key combos did change from Froyo and GB. That being said, there are no 2.5, GB stops at 2.3 (KK4) for stock builds.
7. Same thing at #2.
