[Q] Problem with Odin - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Odin won't recognize my phone, (SGS I9000, if it wasn't obvious).
i've searched the site for threads that show the same problem but every time the respondents are talking about something called kies.
now, i don't have this thing on my computer, and from what i understand it's a program used to connect the phone to the computer through Wi-Fi, without a USB cable.
I, however, have no Wi-Fi in my room, therefore i'm using a USB cable. so, what do i need to do to make the Odin recognize my phone?

Kies. Go to Samsung site and download. It is for updating your phone with official firmware and backing up your data.
You need the drivers from kies for odin to work. Once you have Installed kies, shut it down and launch odin.

thank you very much!
just one more thing, i need to download a file called speedmod-kernel-k15h-t24-300hz.tar
the RAR has that name but the file inside is called Zimage.
Is that normal?

Yes, it is.
Odin will open up the tar to flash the files contained within. zImage is the standard kernel format.
Read up on flashing before you continue, though. As long as you're not flashing bootloaders, you're not in any real danger, but it could save you a lot of frustration nonetheless.
You can install the drivers seperate as well -> SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones

Ok, thank u very much!
i've got a new problem now. i started installing a stock rom with odin and it's stuck on the same situtation for hours now..
i wanted to show u a picture, but apperantly i can't do that. oh well..
i placed the files in the correct places(the PIT, PDA, PHONE & CSC files) and pressed start after the program recognized the phone, and it just stays like this...
after i pressed start and until now this is all that was written in the "massage" section:

anyways, i just left it connected with the odin running for the night, and when i woke up this morning i found out that the battery was drained during the night and the phone stayed sd it was before...
any idead what did i do wrong?

[Q] Stuck at "Get PIT for Mapping" everytime

hello all! so i hope that wans't posted before,
Here is the thing , earlier today i tried to flash to JM7 but odin got stuck for 2 hours so i unplugged the usb. Since then i have been trying to flash jm,1 jm5, or jm6 but i can't get past the "get PIT for Mapping".,
Since earlier i also can't make the phone to boot, black screen all the way , the only thing i can do is get in download mode, i can't even access recovery mode.
did it ever happen to anyone?
Yeh happened a few times. Are you using the right pit file? Also set odin to win xp compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb except mouse and kb and try again
Worst case find yaself a xp box and do it there.

Yeah I know..I'm bringing a thread back from the dead. But I'm desperate right now.
I'm having the same issue. So I rooted my phone awhile ago and was using the Paragon RC4 ROM, I upgraded it to RC6 and everything worked fine, but I decided to start from a clean slate and use ODIN3 to go back to stock and start from scratch (with a full battery cause when I first flashed I was apparently only at 98% battery). So I started ODIN3 and put the phone into download mode. ODIN picked the phone up right away and I hit Start. ODIN's status says:

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
And it sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'.
There's a small blue status bar on the phone and it just sits at about 1/4".
I did a bad thing and yanked the battery and now the phone will only go into Download mode and ODIN still just sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'. I can't get into recovery mode, can't even get a splash screen. I can't post in the [STOCK ROM\ Odin3 thread cause I'm a new member. So I'm stuck...anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Where is the pit file you are using .

I've managed to solve it. It wasn't the pit file, it was my 64 bit Windows. After I emulated a virtual machine and installed windows xp 32 bit, it worked like a charm.

Flash process in Odin hangs

Hi everybody!
This is my first posting here, I hope it's in the right category. I've used the search function, found similar problems but no one facing the same issue. I wanted to upgrade to Android 2.3.3 (2.3.4) using Odin. I tried three different Firmware releases but none worked. This is what happens in Odin:

<ID:0/006> zImage
I tried with and without repartition. Sometimes the process stops at the SetupConnection line, sometimes at zImage when obviously the kernel should be installed. When in download mode, I see a blue progress bar starting to move across the phone screen, but soon later the whole display turns green/blue/white (it always had a different color) with no more text. Hours later Odin finally displays a FAIL message.
I tried firmware versions I9000XXJVQ and I9000XXJVR from samfirmware.com with 512 PIT file. I recognized some Kies-Thread running in the background on my Win7 machine, which I killed to prevent any problems.
In another forum I was told this issue might be related to some lagfixes installing ext4. When I read that it came to my mind that I indeed had installed the voodoo lagfix in February - I had completely forgotten about that. However, is there a chance to recover the phone? Putting it into DL mode is the only thing that works. Any help is appreciated!
Can you go in recovery mode to disable the lagfix? and when you use the 3 part file always check re-partition.
Had similar problems with Windows 7 x64, 2 in 3 flashes would fail.
Try another pc if possible with Xp.

Well, I tried, but I did not succeed - (Hold Vol up + Power on) but I'll try again. Is it absolutely necessary to remove the lagfix? As mentioned before someone told me that ext4 might be causing those problems. However, I though the sd was repartitioned (when checkbox is ticked) and the firmware is a kind of disk image which is installed and thus overwrites the existing file system?

it's vol up + home button + power on, but don't release the button untill your are in the menu.
A stock firmware is made for RFS partition not ext4, i think it's that the problem, but i may be wrong.

Thank you all so far! Well, it almost worked - at least kind of. I tried it a couple of times, rebooted the PC, rebooted the phone, reinstalled drivers, used another USB port. After a couple of retries it stopped at "factoryfs.rfs" - which obviously contains the file system. This makes me guess that it does not matter which FS currently is installed as it gets overwritten by this factoryfs-thing. Please correct me if I am wrong!
Still, any help on this topic is gladly appreciated!
when you flash pda in odin the file system is over-written and reverts to rfs.
Try without re-partition ticked. Also after several attempts your battery may have no juice left in it: pull the battery, let it sit a couplce of minutes and then plug it in and see if it will re-charge -- may not, you might be stuck at download and odin.
Flash an older 2.2 firmware first: pda. phone and csc, don't bother with the pit file and don't bother with re-partition -- this is just to get you back and working, you can then charge the battery and update to jvr after.
Also check the thread on unbricking the phone -- most issues with flashing are recoverable, its just persistence.

Well, I tried to flash with and without repartition/pit-file. The download process hangs at different stages. I doubt it has to do with the battery, as the phone has been attached to the PC for almost three days now, I guess the battery is charged then...?

To which of the thousands of unbricking threads do you refer? I read something about a tool which puts the phone into recovery mode, from where I can format the sd. However, I can't get to recovery mode by pressing vol up, home + power, i just can enter download mode. I have tried various firmwares, neither did work...
Thanks for your help so far, maybe you can give me another hint on the thread you're talking about?
Try rebooting the phone,rebooting the pc,use a different usb cable(this part made it work for me), and try again. Hope it helps man cause i've been down that road and it sucked bricked my sgs 2 times but thankfully revived it because heimdall one click un-brick oh and 1 more thing if you use 3 files check re partition

Mate, try a full 3 file flash and a pc with Win XP 32-bit and ODIN 1.83
Worked for me
Good luck flashing !!
Thank you all guys, it worked - even though it was none of the tips provided here. I have no clue what the problem was, I moved to another PC, it took me three tries to flash the phone.
- The second PC was Win7 64bit as well.
- I used the original cable (tried with another one as well, no difference)
- I used just the drivers without any Kies installation.
- I used a SINGLE FILE FLASH with Android 2.2.1 first (which I was then unable to boot as it stuck with the S symbol during boot)
- Flashed 2.3.4 afterwards - worked.
My phone has never ever been running so smoothly before, even with lag fixes!
Unfortunately, my external SD makes troubles, but let's see how to fix that.
My note to all of you guys facing similar problems:
Some say, use PIT and repartition, some say, don't
Just don't care - for me it finally worked without (single file flash). Try all possibilities.
Some say, install Kies, just because of the drivers, some say, install the drivers without Kies
Just don't care - try either option, it might work - for me the drivers without Kies finally worked but I have no clue if that had any impact.
Some say, use another USB cable, some say use the original one
Just don't care - try different cables if possible, in my case there was no difference.
Some say, use the USB port closest to your MB, others say, try various USB ports
Just don't care - try different ports, the behavior cannot be reproduced, each try the flashing process got stuck at another stage - independent of the USB port used.
Some say, try another computer with another OS
Good choice - that made it working in my case. Even though the other machine was nearly the same with exactly the same OS installed. Also, I have successfully flashed my phone with the first one before.
Thanks guys, you're the best! And give Android 2.3.4 a try, it's FAST and SMOOTH!

[Q] Can only use 'Download Mode'

Hi guys and girls.
I've been frantically searching XDA for the last few hours for a definitive answer, but to no avail, so thought it's about time I just asked!
I have in my possession a Samsung Galaxy S19000, that will only go into download made.
Here's how it happened........
This morning, I was given the phone by my brother in law and asked to root it and upgrade it to a newer/better rom. When it was passed
to me, it was.....
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: 19000XXJY
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build: FROYO.XXJPY
After a successful root and upgrade, the phone ended up like this...
Firmware: 2.3.7
Baseband: 19000XXJVK
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-g3088622
Build: CyanogenMod-7.2.0-galaxysmtd
The new Rom, as nice as it was, wasnt what he wanted, so he asked me to restore it back to it's stock state. I went into CMW and did a restore, but it failed, and now the phone will only go into download mode.
I've tried flashing a stock rom via Odin, but it got as far as the 'Nand write' stage, then hangs.
Kies doesn't show up the device in 'Emergency firmware recovery' either.
I no all is not lost, so I'm not giving up. Any help will be much appreciated.
:fingers-crossed:
Can you post the whole Odin Log?
Normally this happen when the partitions on the embedded multi media card gets corrupted for whatever reason, also known as the emmc.
Maybe it helps to flash the pit file to repartition.
To add.....
When the phone is off, it displays the 'phone and computer with an explanation mark triangle inbetween symbol', and Kies doesnt recognise it. When I enter download mode, Kies hangs at 'Connecting' for.....well..ever! So atleast I know it's recognised by my PC (ish) and it isn't completely dead :silly:
I had the same thing with the triangle a few months ago.
I just flashed a Stock Firmware with Repartition. Just be sure with Odin that you have ticked the right things Afterwards it worked.
Thankyou for you reply, and sorry for the delay posting back. God damn new user restrictions!!!

For the moment you can ignore the second thread
Find a 3 File (PDA, Phone, CSC) Firmware ( maybe samifirmware.com ) , then download the 512 pit file for the GALAXY S! and the flash the Firmware with pit file and repartition.

[Q] Samsung Captivate phone is dead, not showing AT & T screen, download mode screen

[Q] Samsung Captivate phone is dead, not showing AT & T screen, download mode screen
Hi,
I was trying to install new ROM through Odin software. I tried with Odin3 one click downloader. I also tried using KI2 with Boog's Kernel odin software. but both are failing. Shows FAIL with following output -
<ID:0/016> Added!!
<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..
<ID:0/016> File analysis..
<ID:0/016> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/016> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/016>
<ID:0/016>
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)..
Another problem is that for my Samsung Captivate mobile... Download mode screen stopped coming ( I think it happened when by mistake I updated mobile's bootloader with some Corn s/w bootloader by selecting the file in Bootloader field in Odin. It created a big problem for me. I couldn't go in to download mode after this.
So finally I purchased USB jig to enable Download mode (last option to make mobile in download mode).
Even though I can update the firmware using Jig. But still download mode screen is not coming.But when I connect mobile to computer with usb cable, after using USB jig, I could see that odin shows "ADDED" with yellow box showing some port no. Above output comes when i continue with installing tar/md5 file of ROM with Odin. but it fails. So i am unable to use my mobile... .
It worked when I updated ROM with following package - GT_I9000_ZSJPK_ZSJPG_OZSJPG. It contains PDA, PHONE and CSC files.
First I did partition with file s1 odin 20100512.pit and after that I selected these three files in corresponding fields in Odin software and clicked on start button. It worked and i could see FROYO installed in my captivate phone. But this ROM update is for I9000 mobile. so all functionality is not working properly. what i mean to say here that I can update mobile with I9000 ROM. but not with captivate ROM.
My mobile's situation is that it has no software installed. Just as a hardware. No Bootloader, Nothing. Even AT & T screen doesnt come when I start my mobile. It is totally dead.
Can anybody please help me ? how can I resolve this problem. I searched all the thread in forum. But it is not helping me to resolve my problem. .
Issues are -
AT & T screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Download mode screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Just Assume that I have captivate phone without partition, without bootloader ...
Can anybody please help ?

I was trying to install new ROM through Odin software. I tried with Odin3 one click downloader. I also tried using KI2 with Boog's Kernel odin software. but both are failing. Shows FAIL with following output -
<ID:0/016> Added!!
<ID:0/016> Odin v.3 engine (ID:16)..
<ID:0/016> File analysis..
<ID:0/016> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/016> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/016> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/016> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/016> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/016>
<ID:0/016>
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)..
Another problem is that for my Samsung Captivate mobile... Download mode screen stopped coming ( I think it happened when by mistake I updated mobile's bootloader with some Corn s/w bootloader by selecting the file in Bootloader field in Odin s/w. It created a big problem for me. I couldnt go in to downlaod mode after this.
So finally I purchased USB jig to enabled Download mode (last option to make mobile in downlaod mode).
Even though I can update the firmware using Jig. But still download mode screen is not coming.But when I connect mobile to computer with usb cable, after using USB jig, I could see that odin shows "ADDED" with yellow box with some port number. Above output is comes when i continue installing tar/md5 file of ROM with Odin. but it fails. So i am unable to use my mobile... .
It worked when I updated ROM with following package - GT_I9000_ZSJPK_ZSJPG_OZSJPG. It contains PDA, PHONE and CSC files.
First I did partition with file s1 odin 20100512.pit and after that I selected these three files in corresponding fields in Odin software and clicked on start button. It worked and i could see FROYO installed in my captivate phone. But this ROM update is for I9000 mobile. so all functionality is not working properly. what i mean to say here that I can update mobile with I9000 ROM. but not with captivate ROM.
My mobile's situation is that it has no software installed. Just as a hardware. No Bootloader, Nothing. Even AT & T screen doesnt come when I start my mobile. It is totally dead.
Can anybody please help me ? how can I resolve this problem. I searched all the thread in forum. But it is not helping me to resolve my problem. .
Issues are -
AT & T screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Download mode screen is not coming when i start the phone.
Just Assume that I have captivate phone without partition, without bootloader ...
Can anybody please help ?

Here's what you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
Grab Odin KK4 with bootloaders from that thread. That should get your phone back up. If you wanna get farther and flash a custom ROM, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

Re: [Q] Samsung Captivate phone is dead, not showing AT & T screen, download mode scr
Try a different micro usb/usb cable. And also a different usb port if the different cable doesn't work.
And if that fails...some Captivates don't like One Clicks, so see my post here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818
Then use the [Utility]KK4 Easy Root by Red_81 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26710533 to get Root and KK4 Corn Kernel that has CWM Recovery...if u want.

Hi,
I followed the steps written in the forum above. But that is not working my case. I tried the steps in different computer with diff OS installed. but still same problem.
Is there any way to get PHONE, PDA, CSC file separately for i897 ? I could install I9000 in my samsung captivate mobile which had these files. So just thought, if i can get these files for i897, probably it should work?
Any Idea where i can get these files?

Hi,
Still my problem is same. I went through the link. but that is also not helping.
In my phone, I cant see download screen, even though if i use USB jig.
When I run Odin s/w, I can see in odin as port "Added" when Connect my mobile with computer using usb port.
Usually Odin show port added when u are in download mode. But here in my case, when i first USB jig and then connect to computer, download mode screen message and image doesnt come. it shows nothing(like no display). But I can see , Odin shows port Added. and I could update kernel, do partitions etc. But when I select Image file as PDA. and click start. It always fails.
Is it happening because i cant see download mode screen ?
1. What firmware I need to install and how which contains code for showing download screen ?
2. Or can anybody provide me all files i.e. PIT, Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC for odin so that i can select all files in respective fields under Odin software and start update?
Please help.
One more thing i have noticed.. here is the output of odin when i update my mobile with following files of I9000 model. while trying images for my captivate mobile, I found a zip file for model GT I9000 and package name was -GT_I9000_ZSJPK_ZSJPG_OZSJPG. It had three files as - 1. CSC_OZSJPG.tar.md5. 2. PDA_ZSJPK.tar.md5. 3. PHONE_ZSJPG.tar.md5.
I selected this files in corresponding PHONE, CSC, PDA fields in odin and it updates phone successfully with the following output -
<ID:0/017> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

But even though i can see my phone with I9000 model image installed. but most of the operations it doesnt work. might be becoz image is not fully compatible with Captivate model. so no use.
You should always be able to see the download screen no matter what fw you're on. I could see it on 2.3.5, 4.2.2, etc. Even with a jig you can't force it into download mode? Did you make it or buy it?

I purchased a jig for samsung captivate from ebay website. when I tried with it, It doesnt show me downlaod mode screen. But it make my mobile able to connect to system. And I can see the port as added in odin. using that only I have installed android froyo of GT I9000 model in captivate mobile. I tried with all the PDA files available in forums here, but it didnt work.
Presesnt situation is, I am using captivate mobile which have android version of GT 9000 model. As I mentioned in the post.

Hi,
when i usb jig and after that connect to system. I can see port Added in Odin software. which ideally happens when mobile is in downlaod mode.
but here for me display doesnt show anything on screen, screen remain blank. No android icon comes. but still I can see port added in odin and also can install files in the mobile. like pit, bootloader PDA files. etc.
I have tried my image files which is available with bootloaders in forum. But when I start. I always get following error.
<ID:0/016> Added!!

It always fails while executing sbl.bin files. I have gone through some forum where reports similar issue of sbl.bin.
Resolution which was given is to try with " 4 part flash files" which is Boot, PDA, Modem, CSC files.
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f299/14467-sbl-bin-error.html.
But this solution is not for captivate mobile.
It would be good if someone can provide me these files instead of a single installable file.

Here is the i897uckf1 gingerbread 2.3.3 files...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818...Post #284 in that thread.
Do not put any files in the Bootloader tab of Odin. Just PDA in pda tab, CSC in csc tab, PHONE in phone tab and also Pit file in the pit tab. Be sure to have a reliable usb/micro usb and constant power source. This firmware does contain the Bootloaders.

[Q] Unrooted Note stuck on Boot screen, Help

Hello, I've had my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 for about a year now. I've never rooted it before.
This morning I was browsing my phone and it just shut off and went to the "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" boot screen.
I saw on other forms instructions on how to hard reset the N7000 (Remove battery, put back in, then hold Volume up, Power and Home button, then it gives you a menu to choose from)
When I do that it doesn't give me a menu screen, It just goes to the boot screen I described above, or it goes to the little green android man with the rotating object in him, then back to the (GT-N7000) boot screen a few minutes later.
I have a macbook, so I can't use the odin program. (Nor would I know how)
I don't mind wiping all the data from my phone and restarting from the beginning.
I have all the stuff I need (phone numbers) stored on my google account. And I can redownload my main apps I liked.
Any ideas?
Update
I have a windows computer I can use, so I want to use Odin to put the normal firmware back on my phone.
I am having a hard time finding the USA firmware for the GT-N7000. I have been looking all around but cannot seem to find it.
Can anybody help me out?
Check in Samfirmware.com.
No USA firmwares

Thank you very much I'll go ahead and use the UK one since it will boot in English then.
Any tips on using Odin? Or things I should do or avoid? I don't want to brick my phone by accident.
Use the rom in pda. Don't tick anything else other than default.
You sir, are awesome.

Thank you! That was exactly what I needed to know!
I'm currently downloading the ROM, I will update after I've used ODIN.
Also my phone is at 100% battery in preparation since people said to make sure it was charged before flashing.
Slight Problem...
I'm using Odin v1.85 following the instructions above and it has gotten stuck on "NAND Write Start!" for the past 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like it is going to do anything. What should I do?
Still? Wait for some more time. Then kill kies processes and run odin as administrator. Boot into download mode again. And try.
I'm windows inept

I waited about 15 more minutes then held the power button to turn it off. So now it's off and charging again.
These may be really really dumb questions, but:
1) how do i kill kies processes?
2) And how do I run as administrator?
Sorry, I'm sorta windows inept since I've been using a macbook for the past 5 years.
Open task manager and check anything related to kies. Also make sure samsung usb drivers are properly installed. If not or in doubt, download and install kies first. Then plug the phone in and with for the drivers to install.
On the phone and check what is the message on screen, if it's a firmware recovery screen the try connecting with kies recovery option. If still stuck on logo, kill all kies process. Right click on odin and run as administrator. The put phone on download and flash.
Trying it soon
I didn't have kies installed, so I am installing it right now. So once that is installed I will try it out and let you know if it works :fingers-crossed:
Updating right now
I just started updating at 10:28
I downloaded Kies, and the screen wasn't in emergency recovery, so I killed all kies processes and then i put my phone into download mode and started ODIN v1.85 as an administrator and plugged in my phone.
By 10:29 it hit <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
It's 10:45 and it's still on NAND Write Start!!

There must be problem with emmc. Use the pit file method to install correctly. Flash the pit file first with re-partition ticked and others un-ticked. See if it goes successful. Then flash your PDA with re-partition un-ticked and reboot and reset ticked.
Is there any certain pit file thread that you would point me towards?
I been looking and I found a couple, but they all vary a little and I really really don't want to brick my phone.

I've been flashing it for about 20 minutes now, using the pit file with only re-partition ticked. It hast't moved past <ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Should i be worried, or does re-partitioning with the pit file take a long time?
Was I supposed to have the PDA file in there too while flashing, or just the pit file? I really hope I didn't f this up...
I don't want a really expensive paper weight
DEAD
It was sitting there flashing with the pit file and my friend threw a ball at me and it hit the usb cable and it unplugged my phone from the computer. Then the computer wouldn't recognize my device anymore. I tried to turn my device back into download mode to restart the process but it won't even turn on or show that it is charging when plugged in.
I guess this is the end
Unless anybody out there is a miracle worker.
