Anyone have a clue how to fix?
Please help. I miss my cappy. Thanks.

That is definitely download mode if it's pulling up on odin. I would give different ports and a different computer a try this issue has happened to me before sometimes you have to get it into dl mode before or after you start odin.
Hope this helps!

this has been covered in pretty much every thread that involves odin in any way...
reboot pc, swap usb ports to one in the back, if already in the back swaitch to another. right click on odin run as admin BEFORE you plug the phone in.
if you still get the issue try another usb cable, a different pc, or use heimdall instead of odin.

tried on 3 PCs on different ports. 2 different USB cables and both Odin & Heimdall.
no avail.

Did you take your SIM card out? I know some people say it doesn't matter, but my phone will not flash with the SIM card in.

Try Heimdall on a Linux machine.

Bricked
Hello, I've installed Odin one click and i tried to start Odin. Once i started it, my captivate was going fine until it suddenly stopped like 2 minutes later. The screen turned read. I tried this 5 times and it kept doing the same thing, except it was red, green, and pink screens. Now my phone won't turn on. I think it's bricked, but i can still get on download mode. Can anyone please help me?
I'm sorry if i sound like a really big noob

This advice should help you out. I've saw the multi color thing when I didn't have my USB cable plugged into a port on the back of myPC.

1. Your phone is not hard bricked, yet. Don't panic. Read more and do as people are suggesting you.
2. Like studacris suggested, try other PCs, another USB cable etc. And Make sure to use the USB port which is directly on motherboard (not using some sort of USB extension or hub). Try another USB cable. Make sure it is in good contact with Phone as well as PC.
3. Download the Odin 1-click again to make sure you dont have the corrupt file.

thanks, i tried to do it on a mac and pc and it still wont work. My mac wont even recognize my phone. I left it overnight and i think the battery is drained. I dont think it's charging too. Is there an easier solution, or should I just send it back to atnt?

dude thank you so much. I've really thought it was bricked but the next morning i decided to try one last time, AND IT WORKED!!! you're a life saver

Tried linux over the weekend. Again, I can see the cappy, but no files get pushed.
My main concern is the grey box on the screen in DL mode.

Dude, that's the same HP laptop I have, come to think of it that's the same phone I have too. I call dopelganger.
Anyway on a serious note, I have always used the SATA/USB port one back from the USB port you had it plugged in to, and I have never had a problem during while flashing. Hope it helps.

Droid 4 Utility Gingerbread Only

Gingerbread only. If you are on ICS this will not work. Don't try! Get the ICS only tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779810
This is based on the original Droid 4 Utility with edits. Contains the complete GB fastboot files to restore your phone, root, unroot, install voodoo rootkeeper, safestrap of BG, etc. Extract after downloading and doubleclick the script to run.
Download here: Droid4 GB Only.zip - 1.19 GB
MD5 checksum posted at the hosting site.
If you have trouble connecting be sure usb debugging is on and you have the latest moto drivers installed. Moto drivers here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78460/p/30,6720,8302
For menu 1 or 2 your phone must be in fastboot mode first. Enter this by using the tool option or manually by powering off, then hold both volume buttons and pressing power for a few seconds, release the power button and select "ap fastboot".
And of course be sure you have a good usb cable and a full battery if restoring your GB system.
Use at your own risk.

My phone seems to have no Android OS. It also has a dead battery. Plugging in the charger only shows the Motorola Dual Core screen. It won't turn on when connected to the pc. I can still boot to the Boot Mode Selection Menu. I also have a factory cable coming in a couple of days. Will I be able to use this utility using this cable? I can still go into Fastboot connected to the computer with the cable?

Yes, you can use this utility to reflash .219 to your phone through fastboot. Did the same thing to mine awhile ago and actually used it to reflash stock so I could upgrade to the .217 leak
Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app

I'm having troubles rooting my .219 D4.
I installed the drivers, and according to the Moto device manager, I am up to date. USB Debugging is checked on.
When I try to root it using this tool (menu 3) and the phone is plugged in with charge only mode (using a stock Moto cable), this is what the command prompt spits out. It isn't instant, it's usually done over the course of 2 minutes:

}
It doesn't actually reboot on its own, and after rebooting manually, there is no SU app in my drawer.
I then tried to use menu 3 while in AP Fastboot mode, by using power and both volume buttons to get into the fastboot menu. I plug in my phone to the computer, and run the script and I get this:
It just hangs there for over 5 minutes and the phone doesn't do anything.
Here is the setup for my latter attempt:
Please help me figure this out. Could the drivers be corrupt? I've uninstalled and re installed the device manager from moto a couple of times. Could my anti-virus be blocking something? I think that the issue stems from a problem in the interface between the device and the computer.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hmm..it looks like the tool is possibly seeing more than one ADB server running. I'd the phone and let it up come up normal. Open up a task manager and go to the process tab. Are you seeing more than one ADB.exe process running? For some reason the tool thinks you have more than one device attached and as a result, isn't sure where to send the exploit.
This doesn't explain the troubles with Fastboot however.

When I plug in my phone and open up the tool, one adb.exe shows up in my task manager. Once I run the root script, I see a second one open. I tried killing it, and it will just open up again. How do I fix this?
If this is on the computer side, why wouldn't it explain the Fastboot problem?

SOLVED: Well, the problem wasn't really solved, but I transferred all the necessary tools to a different PC and rooted the device. So it was an issue with the original computer. MY theory is that it was an issue with the ADB interface from the Moto drivers. I'm purely spitballing on that though.
Thanks for the help anyways, guys. Time to have some modding fun!

Is there a mirror? I can't seem to download this...

Thanks for the utility!
I had some complications with the OTA update and realized that a fastboot back to stock was the only remedy. I couldn't find a linux solution (am I missing something?) so I modified the script to use moto-fastboot32. Worked great, thanks again!

Can some provide a mirror for this link? This isn't downloading...

can anyone throw up a mirror of this or a torrent? my download keeps timing out after an hour....

Just another request for a new mirror for this file. I would really like to unroot so I can update to ICS.

I don't think you have to unroot to update... If you've made a lot of changes to your system file, you'll probably have to undo them or fastboot back to stock (this includes installing safe strap)

Try the ICS tool, it now has fastboot for ICS.

USB not working but system is alive - how to flash?

Hey guys,
I got a SGS I9000 here from a friend of mine who got it from egay (stupid, but nvm) and I try to fix the device but till now I was not lucky.
I want to upgrade to a newer / higher version but the "faulty" USB makes it very difficult.
Here are the facts:
- The device is running 2.3.3 Gingerbread
- Device Information: GT-I9000HKYDBT + PDA: I9000XWJVI , PHONE: I9000XXJVO, CSC: I9000DBTJV2
- Charging via USB does work, data connection does not work
- Entering Recovery Mode works
- CWM is not installed
- Samsung Kies is installed
- Entering Download Mode works
- External micro-SD Cards are being recognized at Android
- If I connect the device in Windows or Download Mode, the message "USB-Device was not recognized" comes up
What I`ve tried till now:
- three different micro-USB cables (original Samsung, HTC and Motorola)
- two different PCs with Kies installed and not installed
- Tried to flash via Recovery Mode but nothing is shown on the "external SD", even after renaming to update.zip
- Managed to copy files into internal flash but since the "original" Recovery Mode seems to have a verification, the flash process aborts either with
"E:signature verification failed" or "E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
- Odin of course but USB data does not work unfortunately so Odin as well
So the big question for me is:
Is there ANY chance to root/flash the device with the actual difficulties?
Any help or hints are highly appreciated.
Cheers

you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection or Mobile Odin is another option

email the recovery file to yourself or upload to dropbox. then download to your phone and flash away!

Don't forget to thoroughly clean your micro usb connector. I once had the same issue with my sgs. Different cables or drivers didn't work. I was about to give up on it, but then fixed it by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and very tiny dentaid toothbrushes.
Afterwards it worked like a charm. Worth giving a shot, since these connectors collect a lot of dust/dirt over time.

Thanks for your fast reply.
I did mention this thread yesterday but after installing all different drivers, switching of the PC completely and disconnecting all devices, turning BT ON/OFF, switching between Dev Mode and MSD I'm at the same position as before.
Doesn't matter which cable I use, I just get always the same fking message about Device is not being recognized.
In the meantime, I got a 2nd SGS from a friend of mine which works perfectly after connecting the device with my PC.
It starts immediately with the driver installation and is ready in couple of seconds.
I also tried to put the cable carefully into the USB but it doesn't help either.
Any other suggestions?

That would mean, its your USB slot on the phone, that needs a solution, either you have to examine it very closely for damage to resolve it or its internal and you may have to change it.

hey
can u do to download mode??
if u can then upgrade using Odin...
And the uUSB issues cam with my SGS too,but after flashing the firwmare via odin there was no issues...i flashed 2.3.6 ValuePack..
U too can give it a shot..

Well, as told above, I can enter download mode but USB DATA connection does not work!
So from my understanding, Odin only works if there's a valid connection, otherwise I could flash anything and would not have the problem
Mobile Odin does not work due to the root restriction.
Is there any way to flash another ROM or get the the device rooted with these restrictions?

Stuck on First Screen
Well this is not an answer to the problem. Well am having the same problem as you, just mine is more complicated.
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got cmw and entered recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen (Stuck) on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode.
Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

As long as you can get to download mode, flashing should solve your problem after you resolve the USB problem , which can be due a number of issues.
Somehow ROM changes and bad flashes, may have pin configuration changes on the phone, (just like changes in combo key functions when you use different ROM) ...so driver changes works for some
So you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 options to get your USB connection back. But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection , and try those options.

Sorry to repeat my comment again, but if all these drivers aren't working for you, you should check your micro-usb connector. I'm pretty sure the connector is the issue here.
Have you tried cleaning the micro-usb connector on your phone? Don't just blow the dust out or clean it a bit with some paper, but go for a complete and thorough cleaning solution.
Get yourself some dentaid toothbrushes. Get a few sizes. You can get these at your local pharmacy.

Get some Cleaning / Rubbing Alcohol. You can find this at a handyman store or your local pharmacy should have this as well.
Dip the toothbrush with some rubbing alcohol. The toothbrush should be a bit moist but not dripping wet.
Start cleaning the connector. You can apply some pressure to clean everything.
If this doesn't work, no harm done. These things are quite cheap and rubbing alcohol and these dentaid toothbrushes come in handy when other electronics go bust.
Honestly, just try it! People always dismiss this solution attempt as a last resort but it's usually the problem fixer.

I fixed mine that had the same problem with a similar technique

[Q] I think I erased the bootloader

I have PAC rom installed to slot 2 and nothing else installed. I had the Verizon stock rom installed at the stock rom slot with an older version of Safestrap installed. I deleted everything in the stock slot and then I installed the newest version of Safestrap on the PAC rom. When I rebooted the phone, the Safestrap screen didn't load and it took a while before it booted into the PAC rom. I do not see the safestrap screen at all, so I uninstalled the recovery and safestrap. Now when the phone reboots it freezes at a blank screen.
I'm downloading the Verizon stock rom again and I'm going to try to install it using the vol up and vol dn + pwr key into recover mode. I will rename the file to Update.zip and install it from an sd card.
Am I missing something or am I on the wrong track. Any feedback would be appreciated.
edit: that didn't work. It always says installation aborted

You don't have anything on the Stock slot to boot too. Sounds like since you installed SS 3.60 while using PAC on Slot 2 and uninstalled stock slot the phone will have nothing to boot to. Your only way to get everything back is to FXZ. You can do that using Either straight RSD or go get the latest restore program from House of Moto. You will have to research to best path to regain Root access. There are a few different ways to do so but all of them evolve using a Linux OS to accomplish this.

you wouldn't have the links from that site do you? I registered before and they never admitted me then. I just registered again but I don't think they are going to accept me.
I have the drivers installed but rsdlite won't recognize my phone. and thank you for helping me, I extremely appreciate it.

I finally got rsdlite to recognize my phone. But now when I try to flash cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22_cfc.xml I get the error message failed flashing process 1/24 flash mbm "allow mbm-bootloader-flashing-mbm.bin" phone returned fail.

Click on the House of Moto in the reply I sent earlier. It is a hyper link to that page. Are you using Windows or Linux?

Check your PM.....:good:

I never got a confirmation email from them. I got your pm though, thank you very much for that and for all your help. I have to wait until I get my wall battery charger. Mine is completely dead with the white light in corner. The cable charger doesn't work and there's no charging light to see if it's charging or not.

If all else fails on that you can always do this to charge it....
Take an oem cable and cut off the micro usb end off.Then strip the red and black wires down. After that you need to line up the wires as they are in this picture.

Get the red settled on the + and the black on the - then use the battery to lock them into place. Understand? After that you can plug it in and it'll power your phone through the fxz but you'll need another oem Moto cable to connect it to your comp for the fxz. Hope you have 2 and yes this is the only way.
You can use any old USB cable connection to do this by the way...

that wire splice battery charge trick worked perfectly. I wish I would have known about that a while ago.
Nothing I do works to flash it. I'm using cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22_cfc.xml which is Jelly Bean, and that's what I had in the stock slot before I messed it all up. I get the error message please check input file. either xml format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing. I saw in another thread to delete 2 lines from the xml and then rebuild the .zip. I tried that also and I still get the same error message.

You need to download the recommended files Samuri has to use for House of Moto. Those files he has are already pre-setup so if you follow his steps to the letter your phone will be up and running in no time.

@nobe1976, I sent you a pm. thank for all of your help.

OK, I finally got it to flash back to stock and I'm sort of on my way. I'm just trying to root it now so I can install safestrap so I can recover the 2 backups I made and get back to where I was before this all went wrong. The way I fixed it, was I saw on another forum to run rsdlite in compatibility mode for xp. That did the trick. No error messages after that and it flashed smoothly.
Now the problem I'm having now is that when I plug the phone in by usb it does nothing. I don't get any information in the notification bar or anything. Is there a way to root the phone by an app or anything these days or do I have to use usb?

The only way to Root with JB is to use this method Here on Windows. You will need the USB connection for ADB to work. The plus thing is that this guys setup is easy and should work for you. The VM setup he made already has all the proper stuff needed to establish the connection to your phone.

that's the method I've used before, I just can't get my computer to recognize my phone when I plug it in by usb. that's the only thing holding me back right now.

Are you using the OEM cable to do this??? What OS are you using?

that's the strange thing, I'm using the same cable and windows 8 that I've always been using. I'm pretty sure I have the correct drivers installed. I dunno, I'm really lost at this point.

Is it Win8 64bit or 32bit?

[HELP] Phone is stuck at Linux Penguin Logo ( Bootloader, Recovery Not Responding)

Good Morning Guys,
I have Redmi 4X 64GB version. The phone has unlocked bootloader and was running on Havoc OS V2.5 and the phone was rooted.
About a week ago the phone is suddenly got into weird state. And i am unable to figure out what to do.
The phone is gotten into Linux Penguin Logo. I am attaching an image with that problem. And also phone in not responding to any physical power+volume button integration. Any combination just takes me to this Penguin Screen. Here are some thing i have already tried to do but not working at all. Although when i connect this device to computer with this Penguin Logo screen it does get detected as fastboot device but so far that isn't helping.
Some tricks that i have already tried but not working:-
1. I have booted my phone into edl mode and installed fastboot rom via miflash tool, and it is successfully installed but after pressing power+volume button it is the same screen as Penguin Logo. [so Not Working]
2. I have opened the phone disconnect the battery and tried some combinations but still no luck.
3. Used every combination with power button as well as connected to pc and used fastboot commands but not working out.
4. TWRP installation get failed. ( will attach the preview).
So, Please anyone has any clue or anyone has ever face this same problem please reach out to me. Any Honect answer will work.
Sorry i am new at writing thread. So if any mistake i am sorry.

If you still have custom recovery installed then try flashing latest firmware.
i've found this similar having issue video on youtube of Redmi 3S(Appears to be) and how it got solved, please check it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMZ08qQrqnc
i am not sure if those files are limited to Redmi 3S or can be use on other xiaomi devices but it gives some sort of idea what you should try. and video language i don't understand and maybe you understand maybe not but should be understandable by watching video.

Thanks for replying. But that is the problem i am unable to reach anywhere not bootloader nor recovery. The phone is just showing the linux penguin logo whether you use power and volume combination or you do the same via connecting to pc.

I think he has that download link in description. But that link requires password for opening .rar file. And i do not trust that guy. That file may have some bloatware or virus or something. If you find same file that he has please share that file over here so that i can use it.
Thanks.

Did you solve the problem? I'm stuck in it and after trying all the things (including deciphering that rar file very doubtful, which I did not achieve) I'm empty of ideas

try to put the phone in edl mode...open the phone case and disconnect the battery wire..if u have tweezer then try touching it to testpoints and then plug the usb cable at the same time...a driver will install on ur computer named (qdloader9008)....open miflash tool then try flashing it via the tool...

Time to use Device as Paper Weight

Sorry Bro, Nothing is working at all. I mean i am IT Engineer and i have tried all things but still no luck. So, my thinking is the boot loader is too much damaged so there is nothing that can be written on it, no TWRP or no any data partition, it's all out of option. I have started using the phone as Paper Weight.
I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem and get back to me. Fingers Crossed
Thank You.

Not Working, Already tried:

Sorry Bros, Already tried all things that you have mentioned in the post and its not working at all. If somehow we can change the memory storage chip on the phone that contains the bootloader then the phone can come back to its normal form.

Try to turn fastboot if you turn this on then you are on good situation . Boot TWRP and try installing rom again ( with wiping data, cache,vendor,system,dalvik,and might internal storage)

Your problem solved or still u r stuck?

To answer your question, yeah i got it done. Actually where i live, there is repair shop guy that i know he got it done for just 500rs. I don't know how he do that.

Here is my own tested solution for you !
In my case, when i try to install boot logo on Redmi 5 then this happened.
And yet last . i find the great solution by Miassistant
.1. Download Miassistant on PC
2. Download ADB Driver for your Pc
3. Download (Recovery Rom) not Fastboot Rom
5. press volume up + Power for (Miassistant mode)
6. Flash from Miassistant

Thanks for the solution. My device is already fixed, but i this solution can work. If something like this happens in future we can try this out. But i really wanna know what causes this thing to be happened?

Sorry if this is not the place for post this, but I read a lot of cases that people have their phones stuck in Linux Icon, after a fail installing a ROM, this same case happened to me in a Xiaomi Mi 5 S Plus, one of the devices of Xiaomi, with less support because there were not to much units manufactered.
In mi case, after try to put the device in the fastboot mode, that was impossible I had to put the MI5 s Plus in EDL mode, using the 2 test points pins in the motherboard, and using Miflash for instal a fastboot rom.
I ll explain the steps;
A- Install MiFlash, in your computer, with all the drivers
B-Download a stable Fastboot ROM for your device, you can find it easily in the forums. ( In my case was the "natrium_global_images_V10.2.4.0.OBGMIXM_20190424.0000.00_8.0_global_07f157530a" with MIUI 10 for the Xiaomi MI5 S Plus (natrium) )
C- Put your device in EDL mode
Normally if you are stuck in the linux mode, this is your only solution for put the device in EDL mode, use the 2 test points in the motherboard of the phone.
Check in internet, where are located the test pins in your device, is different for every model. ( I attached a image of the 2 test points in Mi 5 S Plus)

}
For put the device in EDL mode:
1- Disassemble the back cover of your phone
2- Disconect the battery
3- Connect the usb cable to the phone, but not connect yet to the computer
4-Use something metallic, like a clip, wire, or tweezers, and touch the 2 Test points at the same time in the motherboard and while you re touching this 2 points connect the USB to the computer
5-You ll hear the sound in the computer that recognizes a new device conected, after that you can remove the clip or wire from touching the 2 points in the board of the phone
6-Open Miflash and have to appear a device connected like COM...., If don´t appear , you can make the process again (there is no problem if you make the steps with the MIflash open)
7- Select the option Flash all (clean all) in Miflash for install the fastboot rom
8- If some error appears during the installation, check the fastboot rom, I ll try 2 or 3 differents versions before one that was completely installed without error
9- If the installation is correct, your phone will be restart, and take some minutes for the first boot after the installation.
In my case, with this device and other Xiaomi devices, to put the phone in EDL mode, and install a stable official fastboot rom, was the only solution for this kind of software problems, I hope this post help someone
