odin failed!

Hi, i have galaxy tab:
PDA: XWJMG
PHONE: XXJMA
Now i started ODIN 1.7 and selected p1000-mck-r3-ext4-cwm.tar in PDA. I didnt select Re-Partition and did not tick anything and did not select PIT file. Now when i connect it says 'added' and when i click on start it goes through the process and says "failed' in the end. Now my tab shows yellow triangle on it. Help

Do you by any chance have locked bootloaders? Anyway as long as the computer recognizes your tab you can fix it. Just use search.

I dont know about bootloader, its an untouched piece. Please tell me how to fix this tab... :-(

Look at the stickyes in the gsm tab development. Just download a rom that doesn't contain bootloaders and flash it via odin. Again you can find such roms in the development section. Read read and read again and you will be able to fix your tab. One question, why did you flash your tab in the first place?

Download this firmware http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
Then goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082 & read the bit where it says if your tab does not boot...
Hope this helps

You need to dload the P1 hidden pit & full J4 version fw

Is it maybe because the rom you selected says cwm? Isn't that supposed to be flashed in clockwork mod?

Thanks guys for all your help, i flashed pit to my phone via ODIN and piece is alive and working now and gave the tab back to my friend. Now just need to know for the future i have ODIN v1.31 and P1_EUR.pit. I selected pit and P1000JPJJ2 on PDA. Now just need to know before flashing do i need to select repartition?

As i read through the tutorial you only select repartition when you are flashing with the pit file!
If you are installing firmware, Flash the custom kernel that is linked on the same page as the overcome rom 2.13 without partition, Then hold vol up and power will put you in recovery mode, You can flash the rom through there useing the install zip from sdcard option but you must copy the custom rom onto the sd card first....

I had the same problem earlier and then i learned that bootloader for stock JM is signed so it show error ... completion (write) failed ... when you try to upgrade or install custom rom using Odin. I reverted back to resurrect my tab by Odin with pit (follow pit version) and check repartition, auto reboot. It works for me but not sure if it will work for others. Good luck.

FAILED Odin at stuck at bootscreen

i tried flashing galaxy tab with 2.3.3 rom downloaded from samfirmware.com but it failed. then i tried flashed 2.2 rom and the result still the same. i read from the net that new firmware have locked bootloader and i suspect my tab bootloader has been locked after tried flashing the 2.3.3 rom. i know that there is patch to unlock the bootloader but it only apply when the tab is turned on. in my case the tab won't boot. is there any chance that there is patch that can be applied via download mode? or any other possible fix?
thanks in advance.

Try to wait a little longer. The first boot takes time.

but the odin shows FAILED instead of PASS. is there any hope that it can boot?

Weird, odin failed at which point ? If it failed then you can't be stuck at boot screen if I remember correctly.

Is your tab still able to go to download mode?
If yes. Try flashing 2.3.3 from this forum and follow chainfire instructions. Don't download ROM from samfirmware. Just browse the Dev section and you will find everything you need to flash 2.3.3.
Good luck

Second problem,
I tried to do a flash of the newest Cyanogen update (7.10) from the stock Odin, which worked quite well, and it didn't complete. Odin then decided to crash. After that, my phone is now stuck in "Firmware Upgrade Fail! Try using recovery mode". I can't get into Download mode, and I can't get into recovery mode. Any ideas?
I saw on the Rogers website that an iPhone 4 (8gb) is $0 on a 3 year contract

Use that screen as dl mode.

Tried that, and it didn't show up in Odin...
EDIT: When I try to use Heimdall, it says that it passes in the Heimdall frontend, but when I look at my phone on the screen, the progress bar never finishes. It just stops at about 90% (estimated)...

If you've installed Heimdall drivers, you will need reinstall Samsung drivers to get Odin to work.

Thanks! I'll try that as soon as it finishes installing. What would the way to install the new Cyanogen mod without bricking my phone be?

After flashing to stock, follow the install instructions in the first post of the CM thread. If you have questions about the installation, ask in the q&a thread for that rom (it's stickied in the q&a sub forum)

Downgrade to android 3.0 or 3.2
I have the same issue but i'm using samsung glaxy tab 10.1 and i want to downgrade to android 3.0 or 3.2, i'm on android 4.0.3 ICS, i used CM9 to root my tablet. I would be very thankful with any help!!

[Q] Ok, I've bricked it!

I've a i9000 and i9300 which I don't really use so I thought I'd do some updating.
A while back I put CM11 on the i9000, and put it on the i9300 yesterday, then I thought I'd root them, that's when the problems started!
Booted into download mode and used Odin to put the firmware on, it reports successful but the phone doesn't boot past the first screen.
I used the CF-Root file -XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar but I've also tried JVR, JVS, JVU, JVZ and JW4 out of desperation....with the same results.
I'm glad I started with the i9000, and I'd like to try to recover it, but I'm at a loss now :crying:

That CF kernel is for stock JVT. Hopefully you didn't try it for CM11?
It would last to flash a full firmware, reboot once, and after that you can flash compatible custom kernel (same image contains also custom recovery).
We have quite good sticky threads in this section that can guide you. Which Odin version did you use? 1.83 and 1.82 are the last ones with full compactibility for the i9000.

But I'm unable to install a ROM!
Recovering the phone as above also puts ClockworkMod on, but it fails to install the ROM with file signature errors, trying both the CM and Gapps gives the same error.
Also trying to install ClockworkMod using heimdall as I did previously also give an error
Code:
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
Ending session...

All I want is CMmod back on again!

After quite a few attempts at different ways and a few 'black screens of death' I've managed to get it completely back to stock using heimdall following this. My head is spinning!
Now I've just got to start with CWmod and CMmod again. Now it's stock I'm tempted to try and root it.....but that was the start of the problems last time!

After trying to root again and another bricking I decided to give up with the root!
The issue is when trying to install CWmod I get the same error as in post #4, which means I'm completely lost now as the phone was back to stock.

This was totally wrong way to install. Who adviced you to flash CyanogenMod with Heimdall? Are you not reading install instructions at all?
I adviced you yesterday to go with sticky threads here.

You have to flash a stock firmware and after that compatible kernel for it, as kernel and recovery share the same image on the i9000. So unlike other devices, the recovery can not be flashed separately. That's why the kernel must be compatible with the ROM.
If you have flashed once ROM based on Android 4.3 or higher, your partitions sizes have been modified and you must flash also PIT file together with stock firmware and enable re-partition.

Yes I've also flashed the PIT, I used the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
which included it.
I will try to recover it using the sticky at the top of the forum then try CWmod again.

If you're using Heimdall, be sure to use v1.31 as the later versions aren't working so good on the i9000 anymore.
Do you use Linux or Windows as your PC's OS?

I'll grab an older version of Heimdall as I think I downloaded the latest.

I restored the phone to stock from your instructions at the top of the forum, then tried a rooted ROM.
Everything went fine, although I'm not sure if I had root access (as it worked I didn't bother to check). Then I tried CWmod but it still failed to install, so went back to stock again.....it still wouldn't install
From the ClockworkMOD website..
Download recovery -- you can directly download a recovery image using the link below, or visit clockworkmod.com/rommanager to check for the latest version of ClockworkMod recovery for your device (if your device can be found there).
Recovery: Semaphore_2.7.4.tar

If you use their link (me being lazy did) then it fails, but go to the website and find the image then it works!! It's a slightly different filesize, so maybe a different version?
The ironic thing it that on the CyanogenMOD site it mentions that the phone hasn't got to be rooted to install it, but what I didn't realise was CyanogenMOD it also installs a different firmware...which is rooted!!
At least through all this I'm a bit wiser as to flashing the phone etc :good:

@eusty Rom Manager app is useless for i9000, except for reading the names of nandroid backups.

samsung galaxy 3 mini fails to write firmware on sm-g730v

Hello everyone,
I tried installing my devices firmware from the samobile site, after having it boot loop. I got it into download mode, connected it to my pc running odin, and tried flashing the firmware. It got as far as loading the recovery, then tried the rest but failed in the end, saying flash write failed or something like that. Would a custom firmware work better? It seems there are tools for other versions of the s3 mini, but not mine, so I'm not sure of the next step.
Thanks in advance,
Nick

You could try using kies to flash the firmware and there is safestrap(twrp) available for the g730v. If kies doesn't work make sure you are following the steps to flash the odin firmware correctly.

I believe I followed the directions correctly for odin, and the kies software should have worked since my phone had an error message that it couldn't see the phone. I tried installing twrp, didn't take. I tried finding the correct safestrap file, but the only one close was for the s3 and the person said it was too big for their screen.
I appreciate your help, and any more would be much appreciated.

Maybe you downloaded some bad firmware, where did you get your odin package from?
I would recommend downloading this for odin.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634742565
also here is a link to safestrap for when you unbrick your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../recovery-locked-verizon-s3-mini-ne2-t3361624

So the different firmware didn't work. I went so far as to uninstall kies software, used odin 3.07, 3.09, and the latest one with my the same issue. I even used a different cord. I guess the next step is to hook up my phone to my computer using ADB and see if it's stuck in write only mode.
