[Q] Odin3 stopped while installing JH3... Help?

Hey guys,
While on my way to the super root patch ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751934&highlight=stock ), I first am trying to install JH3. I got Odin3 v1.00, put the .tar in the PDA box, and clicked start. Here's the log:

Thanks!

Pull the battery, get back into download mode with the key combo and start again. Odin is finicky and sometimes takes more than one try.

Well the log says "removed" so somehow your USB connection got interrupted... which means your phone is going to be in Phone/Computer screen hell.
Close Odin, unplug your phone, pull out your battery/sim/sdcard.
Open Odin, put in your battery, attach USB, and hold both volume buttons without applying power to get back into download mode to try again
If that doesn't work:
Unplug the phone from everything, hold both buttons and power... keep holding power till the screen turns off, continue holding power- the screen will turn off a second time, at that point release power and continue holding the volume buttons and you *should* get the download screen

Thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, Odin doesn't seem to see that it's connected. I don't see anything in the ID:COM boxes. I changed USB ports, nothing. Should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

Odin won't see it unless the phone is powered up in download mode, if you've gotten it to download mode and Odin still can't see it then yeah... your drivers might be fubar

Odin tends to work best for me if I get everything set up in Odin just short of pressing the start button before connecting the phone to the computer and putting it in download mode. Maybe it's superstition, but it seems to help me avoid some of those timeout issues.

I'm curious..what happens when you remove and replace battery, hold power up and hit power...wall o text?

Got it! Everything installed, super root added. Thanks for all your help!

Ok I apologize if this isnt where this belongs, but i have yet to find an answer i understand. Is odin a program that i can download to a desk top computer and run? I keep seeing open odin and do this , open odin and plug in phone. its always sounds like an easy step, but for someone who doesnt know how to even get odin, it has prevented me from doing alot of things with my phone. I see "needs odin' an i move on to the next thread I know its a firmware to help flash roms, but that is about it please educate a supernoob lol

I understand what you mean, I just got my captivate yesterday and spent a six+ hours figuring that stuff out. I think I might try to write up the steps I went throigh to help other Android noobs like me. I'm coming from an iphone so this is all new for me. The good news: I figured it all out finally and so can you. I now have JH3 installed, and the super root mod, overclocked and evertything. My quadrant score went from stock of around 900 something to 2160 after all the tweaks I applied. I cant wait to see how it performs with 2.2!
Ok, so basically heres what i figured out; to use Odin, you'll need a firmware image, and Odin will be included. I recommend upgrading to JH3 and installing SuperRoot. It makes everything pretty painless. SuperRoot installs lagfix, root, and much much more all at once.
Search for the SuperRoot thread (IIRC). In there is a link to instructions on how to restore your phone to stock. Look for the thread on JH3 and get that image. Post 6 in that thread has instructions, and the restore to stock thread has more of an explanation. Then, you can do whatever else you need. HTH.
Ill get on my pc in a minute a put the links in here.

Ok, I was wrong about the title: it's SuperRooterExtreme. I apologize for not being able to post links for you.
Code:

Follow the instructions on the next two links to flash to JH3. The fist link is for JH2, but the directions still work. Just download the JH3 firmware.

This page has all the files you need:
Code:
samsung-firmwares.com/i897.htm
You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."
Once you've restored, you can follow the instructions for the first link I gave (SuperRooterExtreme). Or, you can do whatever else you want. This is just what I figured out yesterday.
I know what it's like to not know what Odin is! Took me forever to figure it out, I downloaded all kinds of stupid crap before I got it right.

The odin I downloaded from the samsung firmware website is only 167kb and an unknown file that won't open what's that about

[Q] [SOLVED!] USE ODIN >1.7 (semi?) bricked ... despite precautions galaxy s odin

Hey guys,
First of all I checked every brick thread I could find and I am pretty sure none of the solutions applies to my problem.
I've flashed hundreds of times on numerous phones so I take most precautions to make sure I don't brick my phone, still, that's what happened now for the first time.
Situation:
- Download mode and recovery mode checked... both working
- Had Darky's DarkSteel 3.0 running with LagFix (no problems)
- Disabled LagFix by adding the folder
- Reboot ... disabled lagfix ... still running strong
- Flashed Darky's LegendarySteel 4.0 ... running
- Reboot ... hey no Voodoo ... oops lagfix folder was still there of course
- removed folder
- reboot ... still no lagfix ... OK so I accidentally chose the wrong Darky's ... The one with SpeedFix kernel not the one with Voodoo
- remember: lagfix folder still there, but I thought it would not be enabled as Darky's SpeedFix version had no Voodoo, also, Quadrant showed 900 like you would expect without lagfix
- Checked recovery/download just for precaution ... both working still
- Flashed the rom I wanted: Darky's LegendarySteel 4.0 with VOODOO
- So basically, I flashed WITHOUT "disable lagfix" folder, somehow thinking this would not be a problem considering LagFix wasn't running on the previous rom, and was disabled before flashing the previous rom.
- Clockwork Recovery clear cache / wipe partition ... choose zip ... run update ... OK REBOOT
- Stuck at Galaxy S logo
- No recovery
- Download mode works
- Tried Odin to flash stock rom using PIT 512 with and without repartition ... both just wait for a long time on some message "checking file system" and I don't know how long that should take but after 20mins I gave up.
- Tried rebooting and waiting forever as advised on the Voodoo site ("if you had a lagfix enabled previously, it will take forever, just be patient") well I waited forever (hours?) and still "Galaxy S" bootup screen
- Kies recognizes nothing
- Same for ADB
- Only download mode works ... Odin does recognize the device so all could not be lost right?
My questions:
- What should I flash (including firmware, PIT, odin version, repartition, wait time etc) to get up and running again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try the Odin 1.7 from my thread posted here.

Try flashing back to the kernal that you had on the rom first?
Don't really know if it would help.. just taking a shot in the dark..

God I love this forum. Thanks for the tips all. I was using older ODIN and now using 1.7 (couldn't find it in the specified thread since the link was missing ^^ but used the forum search instead).
It's flashing ... At least that!! I will report back how it goes!

If it has helped you, please post a reply in my thread. can help others like you.

from my experience odin works the best if you connect your phone and hit the flash button immediately. connecting the phone in download mode and waiting with it always caused the flash process to "stuck" just like you describe.
anyway happy 1.7 helped you.

I had the exact same problem last night.
to solve the issue... I basically reflashed to ECLAIR JM8.
Then installed the ROM i wanted from clockwork recovery, and everything went back to normal!
Hope things work out well for you! cheers!!

I guess Re-Partition solved the problem. This should also work with Odin 1.0 / 1.3

No it was 1.7 that solved it since I did the exact same steps as with 1.3. Upgrading Odin was the fix for sure. I'm surprised not many people use 1.7... all the tutorials and guides point to 1.0 and 1.3.
Thanks for all the help guys!

hi gays,
actuly i have the same problem " screen of death "
but it happened whit my when i tried to flash -speedmod kernel - and - ce-root- in PDA
and it's stopped in middel of the action -- it happened in odin3 1.7 > it's naver happened in odin3 1.3 and odin3 1.3.2
i think there something wrong with 1.7
--sorry for bad English - i hope you understand what i'm tring to say
thanks for your time !!

I have a similar problem, which is not solved yet. I would be glad if someone would help.
Explanation of my probs:
I think I've bricked my SGS. It's a European version, not branded with T-mobile or any operator.
Friday I flashed the JPU (Android 2.2.1) and it worked fine. I've updated it several times via Odin, and never really had problems.
Then I installed the Voodoo recovery image and a custom ROM (Darkys 5.2 ROM). Still worked fine, a quadrant score of 1650. But then... I went to the recovery and chose to partition the internal SD card (EXT3/4). The phone said it succeeded doing this, but then it rebooted and I only got the Samsung logo (in white, no colors). Waited for 10 minutes, nothing happened.
Now I can't get it into recovery mode, however, the 3-button combo is still working, so I can get it into download mode as usual. But it does'nt work. It starts, I get the green slider on the phone, but after a very short time the update stops, it happends while Odin writes sbl.bin
I've tried several ROM's, but it does not work. I don't know what to do now - why can't I flash the phone even though it's in download mode?
Hope that someone can help me.
--- update ---
Hmm, maybe I'm on the right track now - I hope so.
Now I can turn on the phone, but it does go into the stock recovery, even though I just turn it on. It's the stock recovery (Android system recovery <2e> Samsung recovery Utils - for BML -
I downloaded Odin 1.7 from this link:
Download Odin-1.7with.pit.512.803.zip from General-Search.com
I did this on my work computer instead of my laptop. Never used Odin on this computer before. Then I just wanted to test Odin, so I chose some random PDA file I had on the computer. I chose the JPK Root + Busybox 1.17.1 + 2e\i9000_Kernel.tar that I used for rooting the JPK firmware when I was running that.
Then I have flashed the other file from that package (I9000XXJPK_Kernel.tar) - but when I turn on the phone, it stops but shows the white Galaxy S logo.
...more to come.
UPDATE!
UPDATE! Flashed JM7 firmware (that's the newest I already had downloaded on my work computer) and the beast is ALIVE AGAIN! Hallelujah!

I solved it with old ODIN flash 1.3 firmware JPA_JP4_U_JPP.tar (no pit file) USB pluged and unpluged a cuple of times. no repartition and no bootblock . After first flash i had to wipe and factery restore in 2e recovery. and flash again. After that the phone was fine. The KIES version i have installed is 1.5.3.10103.102. I think it is the driver version that KIES installs that is the problem, You could try installing older KIES vith older drivers. After first flash the new firmware could not install aps after first boot, thats why i wiped and flashed again.
Sory for bad English

Help pls.. I can run but it failed in the end after waiting it to run. I had tried reopening the oldin and replug in batt all no use...

Thank you so much for the tips here guys, been trying to recover my nephews softbricked i9000 for 5 days now - finally sorted, woohoo!!!!
I used Odin 1.7, Re-Partitioned with the 512 pit file and flashed a stock rom.
This was my last attempt too so Christmas has come early!

[Q] Please help this frustrated soul. 2e recovery / Custom Rom

Model GT-19000
Firmware 2.2
Baseband I9000DDJP2
Kernel 2.6.32.9 root at SE-S605 # 1
Build Froyo.DDJP6
Rooted phone with z4 root.
Unable to install custom roms/backup current rom using ROM Manager
It kept saying signature verification failed in recovery mode when i tried to use update.zip
I understand that it is due to 3e recovery on my phone
So I tried CF-Root: (download mode and pda flash)
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1
CF-Root-JP6-v1.2-Busybox-1.15.3
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JPU-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
None of them worked. Got All threads completed (0 succeed/1 failed) everytime.
I just want to install custom rom.
This is beyond frustration.
First the lagging Eclair and Froyo and this.
Plus I had to write this post twice cos this site thought that there is an email link somewhere.
Please Help. Anyone?
What do I need to do to get a custom rom.

Best thing to do to be sure it works fine is update to 2.2.1 JPY using the reg hack.
Flash speedmod kernel with CWM built into it via Odin.
Flash custom rom such as Darkyy rom via CWM recovery.
I will be posting some video tutorials later tonight in the development section showing how to flash etc.
Good luck

I think you should try to flash the latest Hardcore's Speedmod kernel with Odin (PDA + repartition unticked). It comes with CWM Recovery.
What version of Odin do you have? And it said "Added" when you plugged in the phone?

thanks zolah and rytkonen.
So I am installing speedmod-kernel-k13a-500hz.zip via ODIN (PDA).
Lets see if this sorts it out and enables me to install darky's/doc's magic rom

i have Odin3 v1.3. Yeah it mentions added and removed and the works.

Have you tried different usb-port already? And you have the latest kies installed and not any kies processes active when using Odin? There seems to be some kind of problem with the connection to PC.

This phone is relatively hard to brick for real. Pull out the battery for few minutes and try to boot to download mode. What did you try to flash? Did you try different usb port?
Did you try flashing through these steps:
1. Kill all Kies processes
2. Open Odin
3. Select the tar to pda section and make sure re-partition is unticked
4. Boot to download
5. Connect phone through usb
6. Flash
?

ok i figured that orange triangle out and my phone is working again.
Also I was able to install speemod kernel.
It now reads 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #32
However it still is 3e Android system recovery which means I am still not able to backup my rom install a new rom. - Same thing
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed.
EDIT: yeah, i followed the exact same steps. so after the orange screen i was lucky to go to download mode and did the odin install again. This time it worked. That's great, but the initial problem still remains - 2e recovery and custom rom

Great, you are already a huge step closer to a custom rom.
Are you sure you were rooted before flashing? Something strange is still happening because I restored my phone to it's out-of-the-box state few days ago and I can confirm that you get the CWM when you flash succesfully the Speedmod kernel.

I think this was the reason, I wasn't able to get it flashed. My Kies processes were on at the time. Now I redid the CF-Root after my success with the speedmod (again the kies processes were killed this time) and now I have 2e Android System Recovery.
Thanks again, mate. Super advice

Yeah, it is rooted all right. The second time around, it is actually creating a backup. So I just have to save the CWM folder on my computer and then I can add new custom roms right?
Thanks for the patience btw.

Are you speaking of Nandroid backup? You can save it on your computer but I think it is not very recommended to restore a nandroid backup. If you get your phone to a state that it wont boot (but Download mode is working) you can always just flash a new rom with Odin. Now when you got it working.
With CWM you can flash custom roms and kernels easily from recovery. Just remember to read the developer's instructions carefully before flashing.
e. I think this is an excellent thread to keep in mind when you want to flash back to stock or make a clean start (or in case of "brick"): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556

Do you have Rom manager app installed?
If you do then delete the app and boot into recovery mode again and see if you have CWM recovery.

[Q] Trouble restoring 2e recovery on GT-I9000 using odin

firmware - 2.2.1 (Froyo)
Baseband - I9000XXJPY
Current Kernel version - 2.6.32.9
using windows 7
I rooted my phone, but obviously can't flash cwm because I have the 3e recovery.
My phone is in download mode, usb debugging mode.
I've made sure the drivers are installed and kies is completely removed from my computer.
I open up odin (keys isn't running, the pc recognises it), and odin recognises the phone
Re-partition is unchecked, and I've tried using both CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.15.3 and CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1 as the pda types.
However I click start and it gives me
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not sure where I'm going wrong, can someone help me please?
(sorry, I'm sure this is a question that's commonly asked, but I've searched other threads and haven't found anything that's solved my problem)

it could be a bad download..
i would say the easiest way is download speedmod kernel (odin version)
flash that, if will give you CWM recovery and a lot of other tweaks too, if you dont like it, you have CWM to flash another kernel / rom in recovery...
simple and safe

Alright, I just realised how much of an idiot I really am... I was holding down the button combo for download mode until it went back out of download mode, rather than connecting the usb whilst it was showing the download mode screen
Not sure how I misread that step in every single faq =|
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply though

Super One click stuck during root

Hello everyone, this is my first post on XDA
I am trying to root my girlfriend's galaxy S and having few difficulties:
I'm using SuperOneClick and I connected my device into the PC, i pressed "root"
after it wrote "daemon started successfully" it went "OK" and then "waiting for device"... and that's it now its not responding and i dont know if i should unplug the device ot retry or whatever...
Before i tried using One click lag fix but it prompt "item could not be found" and said "root was successful" but it wasnt so "successful" according to titanium backup.
device: galaxy s GT-i9000
firmware version: 2.2
kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected]_ANRD_SRV2 #1
build version number: froyo.JIJPA.
Thank you in advance.

Upgrade ur firmware to JPY....

Use cf root instead of one click

after i installed CF-Root-XW_OXX_JV1-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1_NO-CWM.zip via odin as PDA the device just keeps restarting.
it goes till the homepage and then reboots again showing the company's screen.
after installation the device booted and then it started rebooting over and over, i unplugged the device from the pc and it keeps rebooting
what can i do?

Go get your firmware from the stock thread in general or one of Ramad's pre rooted firmwares. Follow the instructions to flash. You just need to reflash, it'll work out just fine. Then worry about kernels.
Speed mod kernel is what worked best for me in FroYo to lag fix and root, I recommend it highly.

now it seems the device is bricked.
i cant access download and recovery mode and got a screen of a phone and a pc and yellow triangle between them.
is there anything i can do?
edit:
i got into download mode what can i do now? im really nervous, where can i find the instructions to flush.
im on download mode right now, can i turn of the device without bricking it?

This happened to me once, don't panic. Take out your battery, plug in your phone to the charger and use the 3 button combo to get into download. You can repair from this screen. The phone ! Pc is only a soft brick.

First, thanks for your help dude,
I thought the phone is dead, but i said lets try one more time before i go to fix it somewhere.
Now im in download mode, can i flash rom with a tar file i have, its a stock rom of the company i bought it from, i need other file then .tar or the .tar is enough?
can i plug it to the charger while in download mode?

No problem buddy.
If the tar is a full rom, flash it as a PDA with no other files. Make sure repartition is not checked.
You can plug it in, but there is no over charge protection so make sure it doesn't overheat for too long. You do need the battery to be over 65% though, to flash safely.other than that, flash normally. Tell me if you need instructions on flashing.

this is how i flash:
get my device to download mode.
open odin v1.7, open the tar file as PDA
connect the device to the usb, auto reboot and F.reset time and the only option checked and then i press "start".
Is there anything else i have to do?
OK i installed JVQ stock rom and its working
I thank you very much my friend you helped me alot.
now i wanna install semphore kernel, how i do it via odin?

Make sure to kill all kies processes in the task manager before starting. Make sure you have the usb drivers installed. Also start and get odin ready before plugging in your phone in download mode.
That's about it, you should be fine.

well i flashed the kernel, but now i cant download apps from the market, it just get stuck on "starting download"...
i can browse the web but cant download....
any ideas?

Did you do a factory reset and clear your cache? That's usually where my errors came from. Beyond that I'm not sure.
