Odin trouble... newer Captivate user

I'm having trouble flashing back to JF6 after a failed JH7 OTA update.
I can't flash back to stock firmware after following a lot of the directions posted around the forum. Odin One Click is all bank when I click start and I immediately get "All threads completed 0/0" and nothing happens. I've tried several different orders of operations in regards to putting into downloading mode and connecting to the PC, etc.
Also, Odin3 does the same thing after selecting the PIT file and firmware from samfirmwares. I get the same message and nothing happens.
Is there a more specific guide someone can point me to or share some insight? Thanks in advance.

How are you using odin?
The process is the same for either ODIN one-click or ODIN3
Your phone MUST be in download mode.
You will get a black screen with a yellow triangle, saying "DOWNLOAD"
The process to get into download (works for me) is by powering off the phone.. odin must already be turned on in your computer. <<IF you are using win7, run it as admin... right-click then "Run as Administrator">>
With the phone powered off, press and hold both volume buttons, then plug in the USB cable to the phone. The cable must already be plugged in to the computer.
Next, start ODIN and wait for it to finish.
This should be a foolproof method.

I am having the same issue...
I followed the exact directions on the thread title '[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY 'and I get into "Download mode" but nothing happens. I click start on Odin (the one downloaded from that thread) and it *instantly* says <OSM> All threads complete. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
What am I doing wrong?
Samsung Captivate running 2.1 rooted with "the beast". I bricked it last night trying to get OTA gps "fix" notice to stop bugging me.
Any tips? Thanks!

What OS are you running on your computer? Is it win7? If it is, make sure you run ODIN as administrator. Also, is ODIN on prior to connecting phone to computer?
Try following these steps:
1. Plug in USB cable to computer
2. Turn on ODIN (run as administrator)
3. Turn off phone (not connected to anything)
4. Hold down both volume buttons on phone
5. Connect USB cable to phone while doing STEP4
6. Click start in ODIN
This should work. If you are using ODIN3 instead of one-click, then make sure to set .PIT and PDA files properly, and to click re-partition if you are trying to unbrick your phone

Thank you....
I'm using Win 7 64-bit.
I've tried on both ways, prior and after, just to see if either worked.
The version of Odin is Odin3excution v1.00 downloaded from the aforementioned thread. (yes execution is misspelled on the actual program).
I am running it as administrator using the right click, run as function.
I can't link anything because I'm a new user (BAH! ) but it says Odin3 One-Click Downloader on the top in black.
ALL the boxes are blank. Every thing is blank...thank you!

I did this and I do get into Download mode immediately, Odin3 One-Click Downloader just says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) instantly.
I'm guessing I need a different version of Odin? FWIW, the name of the actual file is I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0

I'm having the same issue. I'm on WinXP, SP2 (old computer, I know.) I'm normally a Mac user, this is the only PC I have.
I'm using the same Odin One Click version Drew stated, with all boxes blank. Perhaps a drivers issue?

look up the odin one-click thread and DL the appropriate drivers and try again

As soon as you get into download mode and connected odin should recognize your phone - is odin seeing your phone?

No, windows is a POS. I've downloaded so many different drivers and each time I get an error saying it failed. I've literally tried every Captivate 64 bit win 7 driver out there, I downloaded KIES and tried that too.
I'm *really* close to dumping windows and android and just going full Apple. I am so sick of this crap and I've always hated Apple products (almost to the point of being extreme) but...if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.
I've spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this to work and the main issue, from what I'm slowly finding out, is windows wont recognize the phone and keeps dumping it before it gets connected.
It's just really too much at this point. I can go buy *shudder* an iMac, an iPhone *double shudder* and I'll be up and running in 15 minutes.
F8ck this noise.

Try this link for 64bit windows drivers.
Before you install, go to control panel, and delete all previous drivers.
Reboot your computer once before re-installing the drivers above.

I'm pretty sure you won't need to install .net framework for Odin to work.
But if after drivers it still doesn't work, try installing .net framework 4.0 as well. You will need that installed to root anyways.

Nope, ODIN does not recognize my phone. I've tried it a few more times using the correct sequence and got nothing. Even reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the PC (without my phone connected).

Issue has been resolved. I tried it on a newer system running WinXP and got flashed back to stock with no problem... although the OTA update failed again.... but I've got the one-click version of that too.
Thanks for everyone's help!

[Q] Odin freezes around the 20% mark.

I've recently got a hold of a JIG. My computer recognizes the phone fine. I downloaded ODIN 1.7, follow the steps however it always stops at:
>><ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
Do I just downgrade to a different ODIN or how do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
Update: I've tried several versions of ODIN now and all of them freeze at the same point. I've tried ODIN 1 click and it freezes in the very beginning.

Try a different usb port, one that is connected directly to the motherboard

That's the first thing I did and it did not work. I've tried several mobo usb ports, still the same freeze. I tried a USB HUB just for the hell of it and I still get the same error.
Could it just very well be my computer that ODIN does not like?
Is there some crucial step I'm not identifying with my phone? I did brick it because of the same issue I'm facing now; ODIN's freezing.

Perhaps try to use a Heimdall package instead of Odin?

If ur using Windows, Run Odin as Administrator.-- Right click should give u the option.
Reboot ur computer as well, that may help.

Quick update: I decided to use my laptop, and odin1click worked great the very first time I tried it. No hiccups whatsoever.
Also I launched ODIN as admin and it still gave me the freeze error unfortunately on my gaming computer.
Must be my computer
Update: Odin totally does not work on my DESKTOP PC. I've successfully flashed my phone on my laptop but Odin totally freezes upon starting up.

Now Odin completely stopped working on my Laptop. I've concluded the latest version is just crappy.
Update: Heimdall worked perfect, thank you for the recommendation.

What build number is your Capp?

[Q] Download mode - Flash?

I have read through numerous threads on how to flash different roms, or flashing on the stock rom. I have in fact messed up and just now managed to get my phone back into download mode. It has taken 2 days to get this and in those 2 days I have not managed to find a way to flash a stock rom, or any rom back onto the phone if the files were not there to begin with.
How can I get files onto my Cappy if I can only manage to get to download mode?
Thanks. I will most likely donate something to someone who can help me out

1 download mode
2 drivers, odin flash one click or heimdall
3 profit

Ok. First don't worry, your phone is fine.
1. make sure you have drivers installed on your pc, and that your usb chord it's plugged into the back of your computer-(important) not the front. And dint attempt this during a storm our any other reason power might go out.
2. Download the one click odin program in the following link, unzip it to desktop, and keep it for future use, it's handy.

3. Open the odin program. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc. Once the 1 click program shows the yellow com box, hit"start"
Warning: this process involves flashing bootloaders and it's possible to hard brick your phone. That means you would be out of luck. I can not be responsible etc. etc.
if this is successful, you will be on stock 2.1.

Odin3 failed. I guess I have another problem on my hands now.

Did you run as Admin? Are you using a USB port from the Mother board? (not the front ones) Did Oding actually detect the phone?

When using the back USB port and running as admin it hangs at:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
as before it would reach this far and eventually turn red and say FAIL

Beginning session...
Handshaking with Loke...
ERROR: Failed to receive response!
Another failed attempt. That was attempting a stock rom. I haven't been able to find packages for heimdall yet but I will continue to look.
If I could just get the Rogers boot image back I would be able to at least get them to fix it.

I managed to find a Heimdall package but it fails at the same spot. I don't understand how nothing seems to work. I thought this phone was unbrickable.

Its not bricked,
Open odin b4 connecting phone!
Put phone into download mode
Flash using odin one click or hedimall

I have tried that. It either freezes on File Analysis or Setup Connection.
I try Heimdall and it gives an error:

ERROR: Failed to receive response!
I try command line Heimdall and it says "Failed to open file cache.rfs yet it is there. If I remove it, then it says the same thing about every other file that follows.

I have now tried on a different computer with no luck.

Im no expert. But Josh from mobiletechvideos.com is. He was one of the first ones to Jtag the Captivate. I suggest you email him or get in contact to verify if its a dead phone or not.

Have you tried redownloading file?, maybe was corrupt.

Stuck in Odin in "Leave CS"

I'm trying to update to 2.3.6 through Odin. Installed usb drivers (later i installed kies), and confirmed that device is usb recognized both on and download mode (used adb devices shell command). Also, when I put the cable with odin, I get the yellow colour on comm signal. However, everytime I choose the PDA file and "START" (i'm running the odin as administrator in win 7 x64), I always get stuck at "leave cs".
Nothing happens from there. What can I do?

look at Odin Stuck solutions on My Android Solutions link below

use old version of odin here

Make sure that your usb port is working correctly. I had same problem untill I tried to use Odin on other computer. Then everything went smoothly, let me know if that helped you. (You might just use other usb port, I used other pc because my all ports are ****ed up )

Odin stopped at "Leave CS" SOLVED!!
:good:
Just when I was starting to think I may have really bricked my T-Mobile Note 2, I found this thread. Downloading and using Odin 1.85 to flash stock 4.3 ROM worked for me. Odin 3.xx would freeze. I've voided my warranty doing all this, but my phone is back to working like new. Yay!!!
(STOCK ROM - PDA: T889UVUCMK7 for T-Mobile Note 2 - SGH-T889, downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares
Many thanks to everyone who helped to solve this!!

Alright I am stumped....What does "Leave CS"
..What does "Leave CS" Stand for? sorry its been bothering me while working on my friends SM-T377A Tab E

Odin fails after SetupConnection or doesn't get past Initialization

Anyone have any experience with this and any ideas? Trying to flash latest N960U1 firmware from sammobile and following their directions exactly. I have the Samsung USB drivers installed, I'm using Odin v3.13.3, and I reboot into download mode and Odin always fails with after SetupConnection or gets stuck at Initialization. I tried rebooting my computer, rebooting the phone a few times, restarting Odin a few times, nothing seems to change. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you are using the original cable that came with phone. If you are and still having troubles then remove all you USB devices.
I built a new PC recently and couldn't flash which was driving me nuts. Turned out that once I removed the USB hub from PC flashing worked. No I was not attaching phone to hub but to a USB 2 port. The hub was a powered hub but I thought it was working fine without the added power supply but that caused issues with Odin. Put the hub back in place with power to it and now can flash too.
Drove me nuts. I even dug out an old laptop that had Windows 8 on it just so I could use Odin but figured out issue on new PC...
