[Q] heimdall error -12 - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've been trying to get ics on my rooted gb Galaxy tab for the past few days. When I load up heimdall it detects the galaxy tab but when i go to flash it says error -12 cannot access device. I've flashed gb to it a long time ago and used it to flash gb to my friends Droid charge. Did it mess something up when I used it for the charge?

anyone know where I can find a key to what the errors mean?
Also can i just use odin for a Verizon tab?

Have you used Odin or Kies in the mean time? Heimdall uses different drivers, and will not work if the "normal" drivers are installed. You'll need to install the Zadig drivers (included with Heimdall). Heimdall needs to be in download mode before you can install them though. For some reason my Tab never shows up as a USB device, I always need to List all devices before I see it in the dropdown list.

Start Odin after connecting the phone and the laptop has already 'seen' the phone.

It's recognized my phone, but once i turn it too download mode by " Volume down+Home+Power) and connect to laptop again.. it's never recognized...
Try running Kies in the background then connect and see what Odin says .
jje
Disconnect SGS USB cable... Close Odin. And update your SGS drivers!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
-> Restart PC.
-> Open Odin, put in your files
-> Connect USB cable to PC, THEN to the SGS! (First PC, then Phone)
-> Hopefully you should see Yellow COM!
PS: While in Download Mode, and when connected to PC... Windows may download/update some more drivers. Let it happen! Do not disconnect!
There are two version (*86) and (*64) which one should i choose?
Never had this problem but can suggest few things
1. uninstall kies and reinstall SGS drivers only (Google them, they are available on net)
If doesn't work
2. do a factory reset and try with Odin
3. if not, restore the phone, if you have backup on Clockwork mode recovery.
As i said, never experience this issue, so just suggesting
x86 is for 32-bit Windows, and x64 is for 64-bit Windows!
To check what you own, Right-click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> And see what's written, 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)
Also, try uninstalling Kies, and install only the drivers posted on that link!
While running Odin, it is recommended that Kies should not be running, even as a service!
Okay, but my SGS is not yet rooted, so is there any chance the Odin didn't recognize my phone due to unrooted device??
i've got the same problem,cant upgrade to gingerbread because of it...tried everything suggested in this thread..even restored a backup i made using clockwork recovery...spent 3 weeks googling and restoring my phone reinstalling drivers e.t.c...ive given up and im stuck on froyo 2.2.1 XXJPY.
Rooted mobile or not rooted, no difference, odin shd recognize, u may try another version of odin or use update.zip or root it to install a custom rom, guessing, u might be missing some bootloaders

[Q] Just about a brick

Been looking for a while and can't find a solution on here. I am just about bricked, I can only get the phone-exclamation point-computer logo. Tab won't go to download mode, won't do anything but show that error screen in one minute intervals. I just got this thing and rooted it, then did GB update, and now it's toast.
Help appreciated, it's only 3 days old and I don't have any more in stock in my store.
If you are on a Screen that has "phone connected to a PC", That is essenutally DOwnload mode.
What you would need to do is use Heimdall command
"heimdal close-pc-screen"
Do you have heimdall and Android SDK installed on your computer?

Yes I have both installed.
I plug the tab into the computer, it doesn't even make the connect device sound. Heimdall says 'Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.'
The only way I can seem to get the image to come on the tab is when I plug it into the factory charger only.

[Q] HELP! Really Serious Problem On My SGT gt-p1000

Recently i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab(SGT) GT-p1000 that was brought from Singapore using the oneclickroot method.
My problem began when i heard about using heimdall to flash custom ROMS on the SGT. So i downloaded the Heimdall files and used heimdall frontend to attempt to root my SGT. Before that i had already used the zadig files to install the samsung composite USB driver. However as i boot my SGT into download mood, i accidentally pressed start to flash into my SGT with only the zimage and a wrongly selected Factoryfs file, These were taken from the BOCA rom I wanted to try to install.
Then i think i went into Boca's bootloader but i couldnt do anything. So i tried to reboot the device but it couldnt boot anymore. Just showed and android with an Exclamation mark. So i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966015 and i thought that maybe i could use heimdall to flash back the default files. So i reflashed the new FactoryFS Zimage and Param.ifs provided by this new rom.
Now i can boot the phone normally into froyo 2.21, however now everytime i press the lock button the phone retarts. And everytime i try to connect to the internet using WiFi my phone restarts as well. 3g no longer works too. T_T
I can no longer connect to Kies and i tried reinstalling the drivers again but nothing would fix it. I cant use Heimdall or Odin to flash it anymore, Heimdall faced error -12 and Odin just kept trying to secure connection, but it never passes that point.
IM REALLY LOST AS TO WHAT TO DO. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! PLEASE!

I don´t think this can help.
I think your problem is that you installed a incorrect rom for your tab model.
Download this:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/p1000/downloads/GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip
Reinstall samsung drivers.
and flash the file using odin, repartition checked.

Hmmm... Odin doesn't get connected , so ....
Probably Heimdall will also do the flash for you - Odin is just one Windows-based tool to flash that device. Heimdall should have the same features for differnt platforms (so you can use it also on MAC OSX and Linux)- give Overcome a trial - and don't forget to flash the modem, if you want a fully working device

[Q] Odin3 v1.3 not recognizing Galaxy S

Hey guys, i've got a really persistent problem, odin isn't recognizing my new galaxy s (i've rooted it)
I've reinstalled the samsung USB drivers a few times now (64-bit) tried different orders of plugging the phone in, e.g. start odin, THEN plug it in, or plug it in then start odin. I've tried it on my old laptop which i used to use to flash back to stock for my vibrant, it doesn't recognize my galaxy s though :/
do any of u guys have any suggestions?

Have you enter download mode?

yeh, oh and it recognizes the phone wen its on normally, but not in download mode
1. Try Odin 1.85
2. Make sure If Kies is installed that it is not running in task manager
3. Search XDA for Samsung Drivers.exe and install then retry
You probe on all ports? On my notebook odin recognize phone only on 1 port of 4 Bu when use heimdall under linux, it's OK on any usb port.
One other trick is to hold 3 buttons for download mode and plug in usb cord to phone before you release 3 button's make sure odin is running first before trying this.
Would advise to Download drivers 64 bit from here [https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...s-x64.shtml&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13223281596262] and reinstall. Also, ensure Kies is not running in the background (Check in Task Manager).
thanks for your suggestions everyone, i'll try all of them and get back to you on how it works
sorry i didnt reply in awhile, to all the readers, i used a different computer for odin and it works

[Q] Soft Bricked? Need Help.

So I tried to flash my Captivate I896 with Heimdall 1.3.1 and it worked and rebooted, but it is now stuck at the Talon boot screen.
I also then tried to flash it back to Stock ROM with ODIN, but when I connect it up, my phone does not show up on ODIN.
Anyone know what is wrong?
Also, yes, I did open up ODIN first, but it still wont recognize my phone.
See this thread for ur PC Connection issues. Heimdall uses its own usb drivers. Odin uses the Samsung drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33227541
Short answer...use a different usb port for Odin. The one u have been trying to use has the drivers for Heimdall installed.
