Hi everyone, im noob here, tried to root my samsung sg2 today, was all excited but odin keeps crashing when i hit start button , anyone else have this problem? i'm using windows 7 on a brand new laptop that isnt even a week old, "home prem" if thats of any use. thanks for replies.
Mate, you're in the wrong forum. This is for sgs. Sgs2 has it's own - you'll likely get more specific help there.
You have installed samsung drivers?
yeah ive got the latest version of kies installed, its all ok until i hit "start" in odin ,and then it just crashes, must try it on a different laptop
Hi,
i think the problem is Kies. Kies starts with windows (background). Open taskmanager and look for kies, KiesPDLR & Kies TrayAgent. Kill all this processe and after it start Odin and try it again.
Good luck and sorry for my poor english.
Hi, thanks for reply, I killed the kies process like you said, but i still get the same response from odin, this is so frustrating

I have a samsung i9000 with stock JF3 and had rooted and lag fixed it but was having problems downloading apps, paid at first then all downloads begun to fail.. Anyway I tried to use ODIN3 to re-flash the original firmware but to no avail!! I took the battery sim card and sd card out put the phone in download mode, Then started odin3 and connected the phone. Odin3 can see the port but just stays on analysing files... Have then disconnected and tried over and over and over... so many times I don't care to remember. It never gets passed the analysing files. It did fail twice, but that was something to do with samsung kies stealing the COM port (I think!!). Anyway thought I would try and update the firmware through samsung kies. But just get the unable to upgrade this firmware. Which I'm surprised at as most seem to have the option think its to do with my firmwares but not sure.
If anyone could shed light on this also it would be much appreciated!!
Code XXJF3, Modem XXJF3, CSC XENJF3
Anyway to the point of this topic. I Now want to just flash the new Firmware myself but am wondering, If I could not connect odin3 to re-flash the original firmware... Am I going to have problems re-flashing with downloaded firmware! Am thinking there's a great chance of bricking my phone. Doing it all in the correct order so dont understand why it wont connect!!!
Also is there another way/program I could use to flash my device???
You could try using Samsung Kies to install the JM1 official firmware

Disconnect all usb devices except mouse and kb and try again. Best to use windows xp. A powered usb Hub helped me too. I think sgs drains too much power from usb ports

Thanks I shall try that!, got lots of USB's plugged in... I am on xp... If this does not work though, is there an alternative to ODIN3??? or am I stuck on stock JF3... As that would be unbearable.. no samsung update and cant do it myself!!!! I have noticed a few of the senior members do live in Holland, so I shall put it out there that if one of you nice dutch fella's who know's what your doing wouldn't mind having a look at my sgs for me I would be very much greatfull! Holland isn't the biggest of places so I would be willing to travel.... Thats how much I wanna get this sorted!!
Subject Solved
Well I have found the answer!!... Well for me anyway!
I was following the information everywhere as to how to put my SGS into downoad mode!: Volume up + home + Power button... I was assuming this was correct as it was loading up with an android menu with the following options: Restart phone, Update via update.zip, restore to factory settings. I thought while in this I was in download mode. No I wasn't!! LOL... God knows how many times I was trying to connect odin3 and to no avail. I have now found out if i press volume down + home + power button... walaaaa A big green android man doing what appeared to be some digging (Didn't stay on screen long) also with DOWNLOADING in huge green letters... I am now assuming this maybe download mode and I will have better joy attaching my SGS to odin now... If I am wrong someone may slap me in the face with a giant swordfish and leave me for the rats!
Just bought this galaxy 9001 phone, and installed kies.
Kies says there is an update for the phone, so sure i want to update.
Kies download firmware fine, but the phone dosnt update , now 3 try waited for 1 hour now, and the update meter is still 0 %.
The phone shows " Downloading do not turn off target " .
Well anybody , am i missing anything here.
My latest wave 8500 updated fine trough kies.
ps. did af total reinstall after disposing my old wave phone.

Try to reinstall the drivers in kies.
There is a option connection problem.
Try another usb port.
Try another cable.
If you got the option, try anther pc/laptop

I had exactly the same.. stop using Kies and go for Odin!
ok Tried on my wifes pc today, and the same thing happens. i can see kies is downloading, and preparing, the phone turns on with a little green guy, and now stock at 0%. the pc isn´t frozen, and taskman tells my both kies and firmware update is running.
How long does it normaly take to update the phone. im at over 1 h. now and nothing had happend.
About odin, is future update through kies still possible.
Remember my old wave phone, after manualy update , kies then complaind about not been able to update to my phone, cause wrong firm installed.
Yes but what does it care? Kies is known as a bad flashing tool. Odin is much better.. If you are using Win7 x64 you can forget using Kies properly. I suggest you just backup your numbers using kies and then start using Odin.
Odin is much better. Kies bricks phones.

When I first updated my phone through Kies it took about 15-20 minutes, if you want to update your phone using Stock Rom (that is the ROM you're trying to update throgh kies - you have to take note of the number and letters before updates) i advice you too to use Odin.
Ok ill give odin a go.
Does odin clear all settings and apps installed, like MultiLoader did when flashing my wave.
I know about falshing the right firmware, it was a ***** to get my hands on Danish firm to the old wave, hope i more luck finding the latest in danish for the Galaxy.
Right now im very very happy that i flushed that sammy wave the galaxy is so much faster and fun to use.
thanks for replying. Odin it is.
A friend just managed to update his SGS+ via Kies after 12 or something hours of failed attempts (he did try everything from drivers to USB port and cable)
The official update stopped mid-download at a random percentage every time.
His PC was running Win7 x64 and on his final attempt he used another computer with Win XP that did the trick.
The good thing after this adventure of his was that all the apps, messages and settings were kept.
wonder if a virtual xp inside win7 32bit , would do the job.

Quite risky in my opinion, as USB has to be connected through virtualization layers. This might work without any issues but could cause severe problems as well.
I personally tried to connect with KIES from a Win XP vm running on Win7 x64 natively (with vmware Workstation) and it did not work properly.
Tried it several times and with various boots and settings.
But I may have been too impatient, on my netbook KIES also needed several attempts to get connected to the phone.
In the end, I flashed with Odin, that worked right at the first attempt.
If you have Windows 7 on 32 bits you can update via Kies.I updated my phone without any problems when I was using stock ROM.I now just use it for backup.
Windows 7 32 bit never faced this type of problem but yups my friend bricked his phone while updating through kies so be careful also
Hi,
Yesterday, I was trying to upgrade from 2.3.6 to ICS via Kies.
The upgrade got stuck at 45% and I had to disconnect the cord, as I had a flight to catch
Now the phone shows an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
When i connect the phone via the cabe, to the computer, using Kies, it gives me error saying "Device not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device."
This is how I tried to resolve the issue, but with no success..
I have rebooted a number of times without success
I clicked on 'Troubleshoot connection error' and reinstalled the driver multiple times, but without any success
What options do I have?
Best regards,
Pavan Kota

You have two option:
1.Take your phone to service centre and say them "I was updating the phone with kies but at 45% it said some error and I have to disconnect the cable and nowit shows me *place holder* error"But dont say them you pluged the cable out during upgrade.
2.flash a stock rom with pc odin.
Just flash stock ics via pc odin. Its quite simple diy fix

Hi @vijai2011. Thanks for your thoughts..
I would prefer not doing both, if possible. Hoping for some solution..
Quick questions:
If I flash a stock rom with pc odin, will I loose my stored pictures / videos? I did not take a backup. Am cursing myself for that right now.
Where do i get the stock rom for flashing, along with the procedure? I assume a 'stock rom' would mean an official rom.
Can i use the 'stock rom' for ICS directly or do i need to go back to 2.3.6?

1.No you wont.Only phone contacts(not the contacts in sim),apps,messages are removed.Files on sd card is intact.
2.Stoch rom along with procedure here.Follow 1.b alone in the thread if you donot need root.Yes stock rom means official rom.
3.You can flash directly.
Dear @vijai2011,
Thanks for the post. I will try the ICS Stock Rom Flash if nothing else works..
Would like to see if there is something I can do, to be able to get Kies to recognize the phone right now..
Will keep you posted..

I would suggest you,you never use kies for update .use it only to take backup and restore.Just flash the rom with link and kies will detect the phone.

kies is always S$#@.If you need to update,use ota.
Solved: Got a new USB Cable
Finally resolved this issue without flashing a stock ROM.
After trying out everything, I got a doubt about the USB cable and got a new official Samsung cable.. and voila.. the Kies software detected the emergency recovery and proceeded.
Now the emergency recovery file from Samsung is over 1GB in size, and stops in between if the internet connection breaks. So ensure you have enough space, good bandwidth and proper monitoring, so you can restart in case it breaks.
And finally the ICS is now installed on my phone.. It looks very neat and sleak!
The patience paid off..
Depend on KIES Only for Upgrades

After my current experience, I would always recommend KIES to everyone.
It is a great software and I think it gets blamed unnecessarily because of completely unrelated issues.

Nope.Kies is ofcourse a [email protected]*& when it comes to software update.Even I wont go for OTA.I always use odin for software update
But When compared to kies,OTA is better.
hey all,
i've had the same issue right here with my friends' note 1. i've tried to use odin to flash stock jb but failed..
Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.
Mitchell

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.
Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.
I just cant explain how happy i am with this forum.
Brings so much luck into live
Thanks.
Ill see if i need more help. Hopefully not.
Is there any dutch ICS rom?
Or should i stick with a basic english?
I got exactly the same problem. Called T-Mobile's helpdesk. With everything I asked, the girl said, it's in the manual. Finally, the best she had to offer was for me to send my Note to Samsung.
So then I started looking for a solution myself and found it here.
Solved it with the said solution. Flashing with Odin is a piece of cake. Thanks for the expertise folks.
Good thing we can help. Wouldnt call myself an expert though

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

Ran some tests. Now i am back at the issue.
Now Odin doesnt want to continue updating like KIES always does.

Well at the 2nd update 2.3.6 to 4.0.3 it ran stuck again.
And now Odin doesnt do anything to aswell. Keeps saying ''Failure'' after some time.
Now ODIN is stuck at syaing ''BOOT'' above ID:COM.

Hey guys, ok so im superrrrrrrr new to this. Iv had an iphone and blackberrry half of my life and im just getting into the android world.
Point of the matter,
i have a galaxy ace, s5830m
just bought it a couple days ago here in venezuela
and everyting was running smooth, i really liked everything
since i sort of know about jailbreaking and all that stuff from having an iphone
i started reading up on how androids worked and managed to root my phone with out a problom
being that im a custom fanatic, i figured i wanted to update my gingerbread os to a ics using a custom rom from
cm9
this is what i did...
I downloaded the zip cm9 file,
loaded it into my sd card
went into recovery mode
and clicked update from sd card (totally forgot to clear cache and wipe/factory reset) as it was stated in the guide i was reading..
Anywhoo.. The instalation of the rom went fine, it said it installed correctly and with no errors
so i rebooted the phone, afterwards as it stated on the guide and boom!
Bootloop...
the phone is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace s5280m screen and wont finish booting up
iv left it like that for more then 30mins and nothing! Iv done several batter pulls and reboots and nothing
i went into recover mode and tried clearing cache and doing the wipe and rebooting again
but nothing! Its still stuck in the loop!
I did some reading and figured id load a stock firmware using odin hoping this would fix the problom
so i downloaded the latest one from my country from sammobile
downloaded the drivers
the cooper_v1.0 file
downloaded odin v4.38
did everything as the guide said but now odin isnt wanting to work,
i opened it as a administrator, i loaded the cooper file,
but when i want to load the single tar.md5 file..(the firmware)
it totally crashes on me, iv tried several times and it always crashes at the same point
iv tried on 3 diffrent computers and iv tried diffrent odim versoins and it always crashes at the same place!
This is when i started to worry, so i downlaoded samsung kies, to see if i can do a firmware update from there thinking itd be more reliable but now my computer doesnt want to reconize my phone
i can enter both download mode and recover mode having only the clear cache/factoryreset/and reboot options available.. Im really freakeddd out being that i just got this phone, and i feel pretty stupid i should have never done anything to the phone...but if anyone could help id really apreciate it!
Im desperate and i dont want to take it anywhere, cause im in venezuela at the moment
and i dont want to end up paying another dude a bunch of money to fix something that cud be fixed with some easy steps.
So any help is great!
I think that:
The s5830M is the same as s5830i
The s5830M is NOT the same as s5830
That might be your problem. I may be wrong but it's worth looking up.
If I'm right you will need to change Cooper file for correct one for your device. Also correct ROM too!
If I'm wrong, then, sorry.
Search more before you take any action. If you can get into download mode it can usually be fixed the way you are doing it but with correct files.
hmm

Ok i can look that up,
i kind have the same feeling,
being that the models are always divided as such..
So your saying (if this is right)
i need to find the Cooper File for s5830i
AND the ROM
and Odin should work after that?
The thing thats worrying me, is that all odin is doing is crashing on me,
but im going to look for another cooper file
being that the rom is especifcally for s5830M already
thanks for your fast response
im going to try this and get back to you...cause i really want my phone back D:
You need odin 1.85 i think, not sure.
And yes, 5830i and 5830m are compatible, but roms for 5830 and 5830L can brick your device.
ok

ok so i did some investigation
after you told me about the models not being the same and ur right
i and m models are the same
and they only work with odin 1.85 as yu just said
and supposedly
only full package roms work not one package roms
and as i kepted reading in a spanish form,
there arent any ICS custom mods availbale for the M series
the only roms they run are the original stock roms.
so i guess i can forget trying to load a custom ICS rom into it
if this all works as the spanish forum explained
ill get back and confirm everything
ok so i have everything ready now,
but now my pc doesnt want to read my phone wile its on download mode
it will only read wile its on boot loop mode
and the only thing that happens on odin
is that it says ADDED!! (wile on boot loop mode)
but it never says my phone is reconized like its suppose to..
and when i click start.. nothing happens..
anyway to get my pc to reconize my phone on download mode?
or am i doing something wrong?
Maybe ask on the 5830i general thread?
I don't have the same phone as you so I don't really know what too suggest besides asking other people with the same phone as you.
