ok I have a problem:
I got started on my Mums phone..
opened up odin
grabbed the wrong file - I was supposed to select 'Aries_P-SBL..yaddayadda' (I wanted to get 3 button recovery working.. I accidently selected the speedmod kernel file..
it then rebooted & never got past the first screen with the samsung name & phone model on it.
started to panic.. tried repeatedly to get into recovery.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. failed.. tried *heaps of times to get into recovery again.. nothing.. tried to put the Aries file on.. success!!! I can now get into recovery!
BUT
it still doesnt go any further than the very first screen with the samsung name & phone model.. basically, I'm quite certain that all I have to do is some how get darkys v7.0 on there & I'm set.. how do I do that seeing as I cant get the phone to boot into its OS, thus I cannot transfer the file across like I did with mine when it was connected to the pc?
cannot get phone to act as dumb storage device
CWM working, check - when I boot into recovery I can see CWM related things (& fiddle with settings RE: to it) - I can also see the speedmod things & fiddle with settings...
I grabbed an mSD card, chucked Darkys v7 on it, put it in phone... cant seem to direct it to it.. it cant 'see' the ex.sd card while in recovery.. I made an attempt to mount the ex.sd (or so I thought) but no go
the adb program sees it, so does odin..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712433
ok so followed the instructions.. a command window popped up, stayed a while, then, just before it dissappeared, text came up - dunno what it said.. the file isnt on there tho. I attempted this with the phone in recovery mode
yeah, I can get it into d/l mode..
rather not put anything stock on there atm.. I've got a bad feeling about doing that
I can have the phone in 3 diff states:
recovery mode
download mode
sitting on the very 1st screen with the samsung name & phone model displaying..
on my first attempt @ pushing the file onto the phone, I put it into recovery (is there a nice, non-confusing way to abbreviate 'recovery'?) mode - & it didnt work.. I just tried d/l mode.. the command window popped up, but only came up for a split second - too fast for it to transfer the ~190MB file.. I'll check, but I doubt it...
edit: na, didnt take
sorry for the 'copy & paste' job from another forum.. any ideas on what to do?
no one?
Umm, your post is a little unclear, but I'll try and help.
As long as you have download mode, you should be fine to flash any stock rom with odin. Why are you scared to flash a stock rom? It's very strange
You probably should select repartition in odin and flash a middle package firmware (ie. as richothen often provides, or any eclair firmware afaik).
Then if you want a custom rom, flash CWM or any kernel with CWM recovery, and flash the rom.
Pretty simple...
essentially, all I want to do is transfer darkys vs7 onto the phone, but I cant do it the usual way (which is thru windows & when the phone itself is in its os)
the phone wont boot into its os - its stuck @ the very first screen - I can only get into recovery mode & download mode
so how do I tranfer a file?

you could flash a stock rom and then start from the begin and do everything again?
I dont think I can flash any rom - I would need to transfer the rom file onto the internal sd, which I cant do
I need to know how to transfer a rom file (preferably darkys vs7) onto the internal sd, using either recovery mode or download mode, as the phone will not boot into os (it hangs @ very first screen)
alternatively, how do I get rid of either CMW or speedmod? or both?
better yet, how do I get the phone to boot into os?
surely someone has an answer?

didnt work..
in fact.. I've made it worse.. I can no longer go into recovery mode.. & the phone no longer displays the first normal screen - it displays the phone-!-pc thingy
ok I reflashed the 3 button fix on & the speedmod.. now I'm back to where I was before
can someone please please help me with this?
its been like this for almost 3 days
Get to download mode, flash a stock rom through odin, (whatever you had before the whole mess), then start over. Make sure you have all the correct settings when flashing with odin, using the right pit file etc etc.

yep just did that:
mild progress..
did the flashing..
no longer hangs @ the first screen.. instead, it gets past it, plays the samsung 'S' tune & clip.. then shows the S for a while longer.. then goes to a blank screen, which is where it stays, occassionally vibrating as well... thats it, thats all it does
Thats the symptoms of a bad/incorrect flash .
Flash again with all the correct settings and files .

Try this. This is legendary unbrick me ROM from Eugene. Flash it with Odin in PDA only and Pit from the package.

Hi everyone!
I have been reading all the posts I can to see if there was anything similar to what has happened to me. So this is the issue. The phone model is Samsung Galaxy S I9000GT
Last night I flashed my phone to install CyanogenMod and did the following steps:
Got it into Download mode with the three buttons
installed the Samsung USB composite device driver
Ran zadig.exe of the Heimdall Suite
Launched Heimdall frontend
unzipped Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel
ran the zImage of the Hardcore SpeedMOD kernel on Heimdall frontend (it was supposed to show a blue bar transfer but it was the normal green one on win7) it went to 100% and rebooted. It was showing the normal boot loop screen and then I tried to get it onto recovery mode and it went nuts.
After this, the phone went soft-bricked with the pc (problem icon) cellphone icons, I am able to get it onto Download Mode but unable to put it on Recovery Mode, I would like to put it on CM7 if possible, the only thing the phone does now is to get on the soft-bricked screen and on Download Mode, I have tried pluging it onto different machines running ODIN, a win7 and win XP, both 32 bit and none of them is able to recognize it, it is recognized as Gadget Device on the win XP machine, on the win7 with kies it just loops on the connecting icon, on Heimdall it doesn't recognize it at all... any ideas of what to do?
Make sure Kies is off and dead (check task manager processes for all kies related). Then try Odin.
Try cleaning the USB ports (phone/computer cable) as sometimes when the device is almost recognized that helps.
Did you try to get into recovery before it had fully flashed (ie rebooted and then gotten all the way to the homescreen)? If you tried to go into recovery during the first boot sequence then I could see having issue.
That being said, if you can get into download mode you likely only have an issue with 1) Driver (I would remove and reinstall) 2)Ports/cables (Clean and then Clean again - really I helped someone this morning that cleaned once but still had issues and then cleaned again and got it done) 3)Kies is active when it shouldn't be (like most of the time IMHO).
Also try to remove the battery, go into recovery and then immediately connect to odin. Once in odin, I'd flash a complete rom with pit file (and make sure it has all the files or you'll get a mounting error). But the key is getting Odin or Heimdall to see the phone.

thank you very much! it is now recognizable on Odin!!!!
So I have the 512.pit file but I don't have the PDA, Modem, Bootloader, CSC files, do you know where can I get them? I have already downloaded the CM7 zip file

Samfirmware.com will have a stockfirmware that should have them (but make sure all the files that create the partitions are there if you re-pit - my stock firmware does not have db_data on samfirmware but its needed for flashing with a pit file) though they are usually all packed in one file for the PDA spot.
But stock is likely not what you want. Just flash darky anything and which will get you CWM recovery which is what you want for CM7 (which I had problem trying - write down you Imei and back up you efs folder...).

Hello!
So I have already installed about 3 firmwares succesfully to my phone, the problem is that none of them recognizes the SIM Card, therefore rendering it useless again, I have installed 2 9000T (latinamerica version) and the 9000B and 9000M just to check, currently on Eclair on the 9000T with no option for upgrading it through kies. I just want to go back to the old firmware but I can't get to the one that is the one for my region apparently correct. Does having the SIM card in while flashing it and such has any effect on it being unable to recognize it?
No sim shouldn't matter. Have you tried changing the csc so it's your region?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
As you may see, I am total noob on this, how can I get the CSC file for my region or how can I change it?
Thank you very much
Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?
before writing, I'm so sorry for my pooooor English.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I bought my Galaxy Note(SHV-E160L) from Korea, so change sim card from LG U+ to Rogers.
but when I sleep, Note encounter Unlimited Reboot.
so I try to repair in 3-way.
first, Factory reset. but I could make Download mode only, couldn't make Recovery mode.
so I try Samsung Kies Recovery mode, but Kies show me binery Error.
last, I want to use ODIN, but ODIN show me Error Message, too.
"Complete(write) operation failed"
What this means?
If it can't be repaired, I must send my cell phone to Korea.
I'm very embrassed...
please help me!!
and Merry Christmas for you
Is it sticking on factoryfs.img in ODIN ? this usually means its bricked which kernel where you on when you did the factory reset ?
I had a similar issue last week, stuck in odin, everything failing, I was convinced it was bricked, I manage to repair it by (no joking here) flashing a million wrong things in ODIN.... But DO NOT TRY THIS lol
try to flash a safe kernel through ODIN, and then see if it bring back recovery, then you can wipe and flash a new rom (hopefully)
otherwise there is the pit file method to revive from a brick, which works well, but loses around 3gb of internal sd space
hello
hello bro...
try this method:
download a stock gingerbread rom then go into download recovery, flash it with odin, root your phone.
from here you can install any custom rom, this is how i do when i got bootloop.
Thanks for your reply

Perhaps should follow closely the guide for using odin from Dr ketan should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
1. Installation
- Download stock ROM (should start with a GB rom), and extract it to .tar file
- Download Odin, open it
- select PDA tab and point to ROM file. Leave Re-partition, pit, CSC, Phone tab unticked.
- Switch off device, Put in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power)
- completely close kies, Anti virus if running
- Connect device to PC
- ID com port shud turn yellow (not shown in image)
Now hit Start

see how it goes.
Same problem as OP
Hello guys,
unfortunately, I have the same problem with my 32GB SHV-E160L as OP. Little backstory:
I bought the GNote in Korea and brought it back to my country. I successfully rooted it with one of the guides here on XDA (Tegrak kernel, no OC whatsoever). No problems so far, the phone worked for weeks and I was able to do what you can do with rooted phones. One day while surfing the net it just crashed and was stuck in a boot loop. This is where I am now.
I tried:
Go into tegrak recovery. result: It gets stuck on samsung logo, funnily the phone would establish a usb connection if plugged in (as if in download mode)
Reset from Kies. result: After beeing told by Kies to go into download mode, instead of flashing the new software it gives an error message in Korean about missing binaries (see attachment)
Flash from odin. result: the dreaded red box with "fail" appears after the NAND write command
Now, after doing my research here on XDA I found out that my emmc might have damaged partitions and I need a PIT file. Here's where I'm stuck.... I can't find a PIT file for my 32GB note, only for the N7000 or the I717. And I don't want to mess things further up... so if anyone here could provide me with a PIT file, or tell me how to fix the phone through other means I would be really grateful
Thanks in advance....
You should ask hg42 if he can make one - in his thread I read that he did this before even for other devices.
So try a pm or post in his thread. Good luck
HI I have a Samsung galaxy s3 min GT-18200N (i think that is the value edition) I had rooted it and I tried to install TWRP with Odin. It said it went ok but when I try to boot it it gets stuck on the first screen (The words "Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-18200N" written in white) It does not move on to the next samsung logo screen.
I can access download mode but not recovery mode. I tried using odin to flash firmware found on sammobile.com it said ok but it still wouldn't boot to anything but download mode.
Please can anyone find any way to un-softbrick my device. Thanks
Note: I can't get SDK tools to work on my PC
If someone could find a package that I could flash using odin that would be ideal.
Edit Thanks everyone anyway but i managed to fix it
Hey. How did you fix it?. Same Problem here with stock firmware.
I don't know what the problem was the first time. Maybe it was odin or perhaps the firmware was dodgy. I just went back onto sammobile.com and tried another firmware from sammobile and it un bricked it. Just try another one and avoid ones specified for carriers. [e.g don't use Germany(Vodafone)]
In case you don't know how to flash the firmware here is the process
1 download and unzip the firmware, it should be a .tar.md5 file
2 start odin
3 click AP (PDA on newer versions)
4 select your .tar.md5 file
5 it will say "checking md5" or something
6 after about 10 minutes it will say "leave cs"
7 now connect your phone(in download mode)
8 odin will say "added"
9 check re-partition is not checked in options tab
10 click start
11 after about 5 minutes it will finish and the phone will reboot.
Like I say I don't know what went wrong the first time after trying a different download it worked. Try the above again with a different download and see if it un bricks your phone. If not then say what went wrong and I'll try to find another solution
