So I know I am not perfect at this, but I also am not new at it. I have reached an impass and am reaching out to the vast experience that is XDA. I was running on GB just fine and decided to flash a new kernel through SGS kernel flasher, bootloop, couldn't for the life of me get into recovery. So when I got home I tried to flash a new kernel through Odin, fail. Anything else I try to flash now fails. I don't know what to do or try, I can still get into dl mode, but definetly not recovery or even boot up now.
Please help as I don't think samsung will fix it as it is.
Try flashing with EZbase. Its a preconfigured set of files for flashing in EZodin. Meant specifically for recovery

It is still failing to flash even through EZBase. Usually as soon as Firmware update starts it says Complete(write) operation fail.
Have you tried flashing with sd and sim removed?

Maybe try an older or newer version of Odin depending on what version your using, or try Heimdall. And try re-downloading all the files including odin, they maybe corrupt?And lastly try reinstalling the USB drivers. Hope something there works

agreed! best advice.
Leave battery out for 5-10 mins, redownload files as suggested, install on pc, odin 3.1 shouldn't present you with any problems so try that.
If you're getting into dl mode you WILL be able to flash.

Ok i have been trying odin 1.7 and ezbase maybe i will get odin 3.1
Edit: whoa where can i find odin3.1
Odin failure may suggest a faulty USB port or USB cable,try using a different port to flash n if that does not work a different cable.. and it's also a possibility that the downloaded rom may be corrupted so download a new clean stock rom from SamFirmware.com ..hope this solves your issue!!

use ezodin, which comes with the ezbase rom, read the instruction thoroughly, it is wonderfully simple....another classic from Nitr8.....and let me know how you get on......ezbase has full graphic walkthrough instructions too atb

Sorry i meant that i tried ezodin and still it failed to flash.
So update time. I tried to flash jg8 jpu and jh2 all no luck. I even tried to flash just a bootloader and it failed as well. I really dont know anymore.
did you check the green confirmation screen in Odin and/or ezflash? if there is not confirmation that the application has found your device at the appropriate com port the flash won't work

I would ignore ezbase and flash jm9. If you have tried to change kernel with lagfix on, then you will need jm9. I recommend odin 1.7.
I have been in some sorry states with my phone, jm9 has always resolved any problem, even when ezbase has failed.

Really, are you kidding me? Do you not see my signature? Don't you think maybe I have done this a FEW times? I don't mean to be harsh, but seriously! That would be like saying make sure your computer is on before you try and flash. Make sure you take you pants down to have a sh*t. WOW! I am just a little tense and on edge right now so stupid comments are really not too appreciated. Plus it wouldn't even run if Odin didn't see your device. OMG!
UPDATE: Nothing was working so it is back to the store to have a look, fingers crossed they don't claim water damage or voided warranty for other reasons and want to charge me out the ass to fix it. Gotta love loaner phones, it's like being in the stone age.
In normal running mode ODIN sees the Cappy, but when I switch to download mode it doesn't see it any more. I am trying to put my phone back to factory default so I can install CM7 but running into all kinds of problems. I did get the base system reinstalled using a One Click JAR that I found here on XDA. The phone seems to be ok with that.
ADB doesnt think there are any devices attached either when I am in download mode.
I did also try the Heimdall install methods and used their drivers, but that doesnt work either
All I am trying to do so far is get CWM installed
Any ideas?
Did you ever use Heimdall?

If you used a one-click jar file, I believe you used Heimdall, as Odin-based one-clicks would be .exe files. That being the case, if one of the one-click heimdalls worked, other ones should work as well.
If you don't mind me asking, which one-click did you use? What rom were you on when the other one worked, and what rom are you on now?
I installed this "SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click.jar" to get it to work in what I think is a factory default.
I am now trying to get the downloading to be recognized by Odin or Heimhall or anything/.
They all see the phone in normal mode but when in download they do not see it
Have you tried all of the USB ports on your computer? If you're on a desktop, make sure it's one of the ones in the back (directly attached to the motherboard). Also, if you haven't rebooted your computer, do that, and then see if the UCKB2 one-click sees your device.
You can also try the full heimdall package, as that has a tool that will quickly check to see if it sees a device in download mode.
ODIN doesnt see Cappy
Looks like the drivers from Heimhall mess up the ODIN drivers. I removed the drivers from System Drivers that the Heimhall installed and now the ODIN seems to see the device again.
Now I need to figure out what I need to put on the device to make it work

einstall the Samsung drivers. The zadig driver you installed for Heimdall causes problems with dl mode if you then try to use Odin.

I just figured this out. Now what CWM file does ODIN want? After all of this I am lost! I will start back at the first post on adding CWM I guess...!!
It's going to want a kernel with CWM baked into it, or you can flash the JF6-based one click file to get back to stock without the 3e recovery error. From there you can just root, then copy the rom you want to install to your internal SD card. Rename it "update.zip", and flash that.
If memory serves me correctly, that's the simplest way to flash from Eclair. You can also try to Odin in a CWM-friendly Froyo kernel, or copy the cwm file out of the AIO captivate toolbox (copy it out, don't directly use the tool).
To get cwm, use a kernel with cwm as jimtheiss said, in a tar format. Older Talon kernels were in tar, as was Speedmod, and I think xcal's reoriented kernel had a tar version.
Open Odin, use the pda slot for the kernel, uncheck reboot. Connect phone. When the yellow box lights up, hit start. When completed, pull the battery,reinsert battery, use button combo to get in recovery.

I can't seem to find Eclair with CWM. I did find a I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 EXE with ODIN built into the EXE but whatever happens on that version ODIN didnt see the phone.
The ODIN 1.85 sees the phone, but I do not know what to download and what there downloaded file goes in ODIN.
I also ran the JAR file again and it did get back to 2.2 but then I dont seem to be able to get CWM working.
All I wanted to do it put CM7 on the phone. I guess I have to have Eclair or Froyo first to get the CM7? I think that is what I read. I havent tried it from GB
I would suggest following mrhaley's directions about flashing the kernel.
And here is the speedmod kernel.

My 2 cents....if you have so much difficulty using Odin/Heimdall, I would highly recommend staying away from CM7 or MIUI until you are really comfortable flashing stuff without hiccups. CM7 and MIUI are quite different beasts, compare to the ROms ur flashing.

The only thing he needs to flash with Odin/Heimdall is the kernel to get cwm. Its the same for most other GB roms. After you get cwm, its just flashing from cwm, with an extra factory reset and ROM flash.
Hello everyone,
I'm encountering some problems:
I'm running ROMOW v1 ICS but I want to change to another ROM, but that's impossible for me:
- Probably I lost root: cannot get root access or use apps which require root
- Cannot connect to pc for transferring ROMS: ROMOW gives problems with MTP, in CWM I cannot mount USB storage:
"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
So I cannot flash new ROMS 'cause I don't have the possibility to connect my Note to pc and I don't have root.
How to solve?
I want to run TeamRocket v1.4 ICS ROM
If you have lost root, you cant install custom ROM
Root is not needed to connect to PC, you can flash any older ROM with PC odin, get Root + CWM, then flash custome ROM using CWM

Dr. Ketan is right as usually. However, there might be an easier way for you to get out of trouble.
Read this.
Maybe you could start from scratch by:
Boot in downloadmode
Flash a stock rom from here using Odin. (warning: read the thread: newer stock roms are not rootable, use an older stock rom)
Root it again
Load a custom rom of your choice

yes it has to. B'coz netchip method is very first method came to root, but now not used, just b'coz of that. right now you are running without warranty, if you are not concerning for same, nothing to worry, otherwise you need Jig to reset your counter. It should be 'zero', you have 2, means you did it two times.

I can't enter in Recovery Mode, only i can enter in Download Mode
I use ODIN to try to install CWM , but still don't work..
And i have another problem. When I click start (in odin) it stops at SetupConnection, but if I disconnect & reconnect (usb) it starts flashing.

I said this in the thread. If i'm wrong, please correct me.
Your kernel is f****ed up. You need to find any rooted stock kernel, flash it with Odin and then flash CWM. You don't need whole ROM, only kernel. Happened to me a lot while I was still on SGS1.
As for connection problem, perhaps clearing all drivers from your win and reinstall them could help.

Yes you did, but I asked you to try with STOCK RECOVERY instead.
It's not always a part of the official firmware package.

What if my device cant be recognised by my pc. Ive tried every pc/laptop I own with different OS. So basically I have a bootloop stuck phone with no recovery mode available and it doesnt connect to the pc. Is there any way to fix that? Or is the phone completely bricked and I cant do anything about it.
PS: I have tried installing latest samsung drivers on my pc but it still cant recognise the phone.
Have had this phone for 6 years and it was ****ing amazing. I missed this little guy and want to fix him just as a "souvenir" since it was my first ever smartphone.
everytime i charge my phone it says usb instead of ac, and my pc can't detect it anymore when i plug it in.
my phone is rooted and have twrp, i wonder if i can reinstall the stock firmware and see if it solves the problem, can the firmware be installed via twrp? if so, can anyone give me a link for a flashable firmware for twrp? thanks in advance.
If you going stock do it the right way and do it with Odin.only way you will know if it was a bad flash
I can't use Odin because the USB is malfunctioning, I have to reflash the stock firmware without a pc.

Flash something via twrp. Download a ROM and flash.
Here you go:

This is just one of the many stock roms you can flash with the team win recovery.
They are in android development. You just have to scroll down to the bottom.
I have the Odin version of the stock firmware, can I also use that in twrp? Or do I need a different format?
Odin version is only for Odin. Flash a ROM in recovery and see if it works.
yeah my zip file which i used in odin doesn't work with twrp. can someone help me find a twrp version please, i will really apreciate it

Try safe mode and plug it in. Also try different pc.
What version of windows are you using. There has been problems with drivers on both 7 and 8.1.
Your best bet is to uninstall the drivers on your PC, and uninstall Kies. Then reinstall Kies and then connect your phone. I had the same issue on my Note 2 for a while and that fixed it .

You can't do anything. It's a hardware malfunction. Something got zapped on the motherboard and is affecting your USB port. I'm sure it can charge but not at optimum speed. 2% charge may take an hour and its not recognized on any computer. Hopefully you have a back up of your stock rom in TWRP, if not put a Stock rom onto a microsd card and install it. So you need to do a warranty claim at a tmobile store. Don't worry, they'll plug it into their troubleshooting computer and it wont detect it either. They'll do a warranty replacement due to hardware issue.
