I have been trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for a week now with no success.
First off, it has a lot of problems connecting when I am in download mode. It has no problem at all when the phone is fully booted up, but Odin has a really hard time seeing it while the phone is in download mode. I have to restart the phone several times into download mode and pull the cable, etc until I can finally get Odin to see it.
Once I get Odin to finally see the phone in download mode I loaded the PIT and the PDA files from the tutorial for DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.
But when I hit start is just stops here:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And will not go any further.
I originally rooted with one click, but I am afraid I might have messed that up. After I did the one click I was messing around with the phone and formatted the internal memory from the download screen. I even went back into one click to try to unroot, but it gives me an error message.
Did I mess up my phone? Is there any way to fix this?
have you ever succeeded in flashing with odin or first time?
have you closed all kies programs from task manager? (do you even have it installed?)
if you have win7, have you opened odin with right click menu->as administrator?
what ver. of odin do you use?
maybe the cable is faulty?
did you connect it directly to the comp or by some hub? (better connect directly)
guy7685,
No, I have never flashed before. This is the first time.
I tried running Odin as system admin, made no difference.
I do not have Kies installed.
I'm pretty sure the cable is good, it works fine for everything else including data transfer on my other phone, just not in download mode for this phone.
I've tried a few different versions. v1.30, v1.83, v1.85
When I tried in in v1.83 & v1.85 I get a fail, then this message:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any thoughts?
If you have another computer you can try it on, do that otherwise I think you need to install the drivers again. You can search for them or you can install them via kies. Once you have kies installed go to tools and install drivers.
Remember that before you open Odin you go through task manager to close all kies processes.
Good luck

Got it to work
I was finally able to get it to work. I think I was using the wrong recovery screen or at least what I thought was a recovery screen because I finally got the guy in the construction picture and it flashed no problem with Odin.
After Odin Succes
Everything is ok and all thred completed (succesd 1 / failed 0)
After this, my galaxy tries to reboot but it only shows the flashing battery and will not reboot itself.
Help!

Right Click -> Run As Administrator it should resolve the issue
If its showing the battery only then its probably the wrong flash file.

Hi, n00b poster here...
Got a "force stop" as soon as the phone boots up. Tried the software reset, didnt work, so now trying to do the flash in download mode. Got all the files (.pit and the .tar file) got OdinV3 and the drivers are installed to detect the phone.
However, when I click the start button OdinV3 causes a fatal error and crashes. I have tried this on multiple computers and it does the same thing. HELP PLEASE!
EDIT: I am using the i9000DTJF3 file found on these forums as its the original OPTUS firmware.
You can give Heimdall (my flashing tool) a try if you want. I suspended the public alpha for the moment because it bricked a phone however if nothing else is working you might as well give it a shot.
Send me a PM if you would like the download link.
Before you do that however, have you tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes then retrying? I'm not actually sure how that makes any sense but quite a few people have reported it as helping.
ok, so downloaded the DTJG4 firmware from samsung firmwares and it now gets to this;
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
Should this take a long time? I figured it wasnt working once it sat there for ages...

Nope, that should be pretty much instantaneous.
Are you sure you're in download mode and not recovery mode?

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:

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.

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

hello all! so i hope that wans't posted before,
Here is the thing , earlier today i tried to flash to JM7 but odin got stuck for 2 hours so i unplugged the usb. Since then i have been trying to flash jm,1 jm5, or jm6 but i can't get past the "get PIT for Mapping".,
Since earlier i also can't make the phone to boot, black screen all the way , the only thing i can do is get in download mode, i can't even access recovery mode.
did it ever happen to anyone?
Yeh happened a few times. Are you using the right pit file? Also set odin to win xp compatibility mode with admin access. Unplug all usb except mouse and kb and try again
Worst case find yaself a xp box and do it there.

Yeah I know..I'm bringing a thread back from the dead. But I'm desperate right now.
I'm having the same issue. So I rooted my phone awhile ago and was using the Paragon RC4 ROM, I upgraded it to RC6 and everything worked fine, but I decided to start from a clean slate and use ODIN3 to go back to stock and start from scratch (with a full battery cause when I first flashed I was apparently only at 98% battery). So I started ODIN3 and put the phone into download mode. ODIN picked the phone up right away and I hit Start. ODIN's status says:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
And it sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'.
There's a small blue status bar on the phone and it just sits at about 1/4".
I did a bad thing and yanked the battery and now the phone will only go into Download mode and ODIN still just sits at 'Get PIT for mapping..'. I can't get into recovery mode, can't even get a splash screen. I can't post in the [STOCK ROM\ Odin3 thread cause I'm a new member. So I'm stuck...anyone know what I can do to fix this?

i work at samsung company in lebanon , and i have all the offical firmwares
i tried them , it wont work
in odin 3.04 it wont work , it quickly fails with out even starts ( re-partition operation failed )
and in odin 3.07 ( get pit for mapping ) and stucks on ( set partition )
i tried allot of different PIT files , and unticking ( re-partition ) nothing happend , and it only goes to download mode , or when i turned it on , it stucks on ( samsung galaxy note II ) plz help me
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

(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
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

it goes till the homepage and then reboots again showing the company's screen.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
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.

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