Download a stock rom and reflash using Odin in Download mode. Look at the Stock rom thread for instructions on how to do it.

When I messed up my phone I got everything I needed from here http://samfirmware.webs.com/samsungandroid.htm
It can be a bit tricky using odin because of some of the settings. There are threads here on how to restore properly. If you can get into download and recovery it is just a matter of flashing the proper rom. So you are not in a bad spot. Good luck

[Q] Captivate Boot Loop after Odin one click

Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

Neither are necessary for Odin use.

I think that you may need to use the Froyo Odin (JI6).

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...

I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.

That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!

went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!

odin doesnt reconize phone

which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.

And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.

Have u tried the Odin or Heimdall One Clicks in the development stickied thread ??
Sent by XDA Premium App

Yep, tried the Odin one click - caught in a boot loop with the AT&T Logo. I have yet to try the Heimdall one.
UPDATE
Tried Odin and Heimdall One-Clicks - unsuccessful. I'm think I will need the stock Eclair firmware file with Odin and the pit file.

You ever get this to work? - I'm in a similar situation. all flashes 'work' but get stuck at ATT on boot. Not sure Eclair is an option or not since mine is a refurbished phone that started on 2.2

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

[MAJOR PROBLEM] no more... :) Pls close or delete :)

Hi guys,
I think I possibly screwed up my wounderful sgs i9000 european edition
First of all I have to tell you how I came to this...
A long long time ago, today afternoon 17 o'clock european time I wanted to test the great CM7 and so I did, of course first I failed to flash it but then it worked. The phone worked fine but there came the point when I wanted to use samsung's firmware again, cause it has the apps I love.
So I just connected my phone with Odin and tried to flash a original Firmware, I think it was JS7. It worked, but then my phone didnt boot after the flash.
So I managed to make the phone boot into download mode, what is the only thing that works at the moment.
So I connected it again and tried to flash my phone one more time but then it didnt work
Odin stuck at the line "set pit-file" or somethin like that.
Well. What could I do? Reconnect and try to reflash and it doesnt work again
Do you know, guys, what I could do? I need my phone every day but atm it cant be flashed
Now I tried to reflash it again and I stuck at the line "SetupConnection.."
Maybe I should try to flash another kernel and try to flash a custom rom trough CWM? Maybe that would be the key for me?
My phone stuck at "SetupConnection.." since 10 minutes or so
PLS help me
best regards,
alex

is recovery mode working ?? if so do a full factory reset.
Get your self a firmware with all 3 files and PIT. something old like JM8 or even back to eclair.. This should contain the dbdata which ive had trouble with in the past.
When you have all that, connect your phone to odin and try again, Make sure kies IS NOT running (even in the icon tray) and make sure your drivers are upto date.
If download mode works, your phone will survive. As for Odin sticking on 'Setup Connection' That's something to do with the phone connecting to the PC.. Maybe try another USB port, or like mentioned previously, Kies running or out of date drivers ????
Anyway try the above steps. and post back your results.
Oh dont forget to make sure RE-PARTITION is CHECKED when your using Odin.

well, thank you very much for the useful information
at first I tried to flash my phone at my laptop, then on a pc, but it just didnt work
but now I 'm succefully flashing it again trough my laptop and hopefully it will work again
And yeah, DL Mode works fine, but nothing other
Well, seems to be that my phone just was flashed succefully
Damn, I was so scared that I have to return the phone to the reseller
Wonderful, it boots again
I wont take it easy as before with the flashing.
Sorry for the trouble created by me
And thanks again
gn8 (from my time zone) and best regards

[Q] Stuck at Samsung logo after Odin stock re-flash

I went through all the posts on bricking, did what others tried but to no avail. I had CyanogenMod on it with TWRP and tried to do a restore (bad idea) that's when it bricked.
I got the stock tar file, used a USB jig to get me into download mode, used Odin 3.7 to flash it, all went smooth but she still hangs on the Samsung logo. I've tried it 3 times, same results.
Do I need a Pit file?
Am I missing anything really obvious and important?
Should I flash a rooted stock tar since it's was rooted before I bricked it?
All the links on the 'Goodies' page for the Note are all dead links now so please don't refer me there.
Thanks for any help.

Fixed the problem

Turns out the USB issue with Windows 7 Pro (64bit) was the problem. Got it all done on an XP computer I keep as a backup for this very reason.
Stock ICS is working great. No more B.S.O.D.'s Yay!

I'm having the same problem. Trying to put my note back to stock. Now it is also stuck at the samsung logo during bootup. I can't get into recovery mode, tried installing 2 different stock roms and nothing. I have twrp, so I installed cwm to see if I can use that recovery and nope. The only thing I can do is go to download mode. I also tried doing all of this on an XP as I also did this first on Windows 7, and didn't work for me. Someone help please.

Exactly same issue
Hey
I'm having exactly the same issue, only difference I first tried this on Windows 8.1 64bit and then Windows 7 32bit - Still just getting the samsung circled logo on boot.
Did you ever find a solution ?

Should I not use Odin to flash a new ROM?

Help me!!

[Q] Soft Brick/Bootloop I9000

Hey everyone,
I was asked by a friend to update his moms Samsung GT I9000 (stock rom up until now) to Cyanogen.
I've played around with CM before and figured it would be a piece of cake, but I guess I was wrong.
I've followed this guide to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
Used the semaphore .tar mentioned in the thread and used Heimdall to flash.
All went well untill I tried to reboot into recovery, step 10: I get a bootloop.
Normal reboot ends up in a loop as well, but I can access download.
I've tried to reflash semaphore with both Heimdall and odin. Heimdall says it's worked but doenst get rid of the bootloop, Odin just didnt recognize the device at all.
So I figured I would flash something else, but what?
I downloaded CM recovery from this site: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager but it doesnt have a flashable image as far as I can see. (Odin doesnt think so anyway and creating a .tar file doesnt help).
And when I checked this thread for the original software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640906 the links are broken.
I've also tried the JVU mentioned in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247484 and found it here http://download.chainfire.eu/132/CF-Root/SGS/, no luck.
Last but not least I downloaded Kies in the hopes of changing the USB drivers, allowing Odin to recognize the device, that helped. Now Odin can flash, but I still end up in the same bootloop.
There must be something I'm missing here. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?
Yoora

Anyone?
I've been searching through the forums and I can find about a 1000 ways to get download mode working again, but not what to flash once you get there....
I'm really hoping to find something today since I'm supposed to give the phone back tomorrow. So any help is greatly appreciated.

I think its firmware issue you need full firmware I mean pda phone. Csc
