Hi everyone,
this is my first post and believe me i took every measure before deciding to post, i searched, googled and searched some more but nothing helps.
Here is my problem, i'm on a At&T Galaxy S i897 i recently downloaded the ODIN software with a i897 500mhz .tar file to root my phone, i successfully got the phone to connect on a PC and loaded the .tar on the PDA area and clicked root.
ODIN ran the process until the zImage part and now my phone is stuck after removing it from the usb cable after 20 mins had passed.
My phone now shows an icon of a telephone and a computer monitor with an exclamation point in between them, it won't go out of that screen.
I am able to get my phone into download mode and have tried to run a stock 2.2 rom but nothing works, it stays at zImage.
Now i've read a couple of things that seem to be hit or miss but i don't know what to try, only thing i've read is using another usb cable which i will buy tomorrow to see if that works but knowing my luck it won't.
I don't have Kies installed but do have the samsung drivers installed so Kies is not the issue, no firewall or antivirus on the PC.
Can anyone please help me out, i just want my phone to work and hopefully root it.
Thanks to all.
The kernel u flashed was just to get Root and that is all (I'm just guessing). Since u can get into download mode just flash back the kernel that u had running before and u should still have Root. Or use an Odin/Heimdall One Click to get to a Stock Firmware (See the Stickied Thread in the Development Forum).
Give more info about what u flashed and what android platform/version u are/were on, etc. The more info, the easier it is to give the more accurate help to ya. Thx.

Hi,
well i have stock android 2.2, i used speedmod-kernel-i897-k13c-500hz .tar.
I've tried using others but none work, Odin always gets stuck at some point and i have to unplug.
I never got to root it gave me the soft brick when i unplugged.
Heimdall One click won't work, i'm on a mac and it won't work there, phone not recognized, on my pc i have xp and it won't let me run the one click even if i run as admin.
So i'm stuck, really stuck.
Should i go get a new cable?
Check out the "Connection Issues..." Stickied Thread by jmtheiss in the General Forum and also the "Guide..." by TRusselo that is Stickied in the Q&A Forum.

If you plug your phone in while Odin is running and you get the yellow connection symbol you can re flash any kernel. like 4-2ndtwin said, search the STIKIED threads and find the stock 2.2 kernel and loads it into odin and re flash it.
when you get that little phone exclamation point and PC icon and no booting, but you can still get odin to turn yellow when you plug your phone in you can almost always re flash.
good luck, hope it works out.
I've been in the same situation before.
The problem is that ODIN freezes always at some point of the flash, it recognizes the phone but always freezes, i have done everything right and follow all the guides, there's something just not right about this, it shouldn't freeze all the time
Try Heimdall (not one click).

Well i'm on a windows 7 PC now and still can't get it to unbrick, i tried using odin again and stuck on zImage.
One click gives me a exe file called one click loader when i runt it it asks to install heimdall i say yes and it throws this error: Problem while executing heimdall.exe in shell.sendShellCommand
I just want to flash i guess and get my phone back, it goes into download mode with no problem and it just shows the phone and pc icons but it wont start so i know its soft bricked. Can anyone help me fix it please, i've done just about every method i can find and nothing works.
You are doing something wrong with Heimdall. Go to Apex ROM website, get Heimdall, get Apex tar, get latest Java 6 JRE, run Heimdall as "java -jar Heimdall.jar".
When pompted point to Apex.tar - flash with booloaders.
Edit:
Found this page on the site:
http://apexromcaptivate.weebly.com/installation-instructions1.html
Is that it?
Also how do i run Heimdall as java -jar Heimdall.jar?
It asks me to: flash to stock JF6 but how do i do that?
Problem fixed, it was the cable.

Hello all and thx in advance.
ATT Captivate batch 1010
I had Cognition 2.3 I think on my phone and it worked great however I wanted to try a different ROM so I attempted to restore my phone to stock using ODIN one click. I realized after that that I never disabled the voodoo lag fix or deleted my user data.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop that either shows the white ATT logo screen flashing every couple seconds or the phone off charge screen re starting every couple seconds.
I bought a USB Jig and it works great so I can get into D/L mode easily but I have tried flashing the stock firmware at least 6 times now using different machines, different ports, different versions of ODIN and I've searched around these forums and others for several hours trying to find a solution. It seems that I needed to erase my user data in recovery mode and removed the lag fix before I did this but it is what it is. I have tried to get to recovery mode to no avail. All I can get to is download mode.
Any ideas on what I should/can do?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

please help, i have the same problem, was flashing back to stock from a serendipit 5.12 so that i could get the 6.0 version... all went as planned until odin said "reset" which was my cue to unplug and that the process was complete.... i unplugged the phone and tried to reboot and now it does exactly as the first post described, at&t logo then black screen, then back to the at&t logo then black screen again... my computer doesnt recognize my phone none of the methods of getting to download screen will work... no matter how many times i pull the sd, sim, and batt, no matter the button combination i use or which order i use them in.... same result... i cant afford a new phone i need help, i will donate also... i knew this stuff was over my head, but "curiosity killed the cat" i guess...
I had the exact same problem. Try this method, it's the one that worked for me when all others failed... But remember to follow it EXACTLY.
1. Pull out the battery.
2. Hold Volume UP+DOWN (Don't let go of them until you see the download screen).
3. Stick in the USB (which is connected to the computer).
4. Put the battery back in.
If not, you might need to get a USB Jig.
That Froyo Odin link worked!
Thanks guys I flashed to Froyo and it worked!
I've since flashed clockwork recovery and gotten Serendipity 6.1
As far as getting into download mode I had to use one of the USB jigs.
I ordered one from the guy who does the rom reviews but you could make one as well.
On another note the new ROM seems to be discharging my battery really fast
Before I start investigating it as a problem I am going to charge it completely then let it discharge completely to calibrate it.
Thanks again guys

I just fixed mine last night, I had the exact same problem because of the exact same upgrade. What you need to do is get or make a usb jig. There's a couple resources around here for how to do it.
Here's a video showing how to make one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Once I got my phone into download mode, I used Darky's ROM Resurrection Edition ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671 ) to restore my phone. Just scroll down to where it says "Files Needed" and download the Captivate version. Once you have that downloaded, use the jig to put your phone into download mode and follow the directions in the Darky's video (jump to about 2:30 into the video). Once I had my phone booting, I used clockwork to install Serendipity 6.
Hope that helps you as much as it helped me!!
went to radio shack, got all the stuff to make a jig and i was able to get my phone into download mode! now to try darko...... thanks everyone!
odin doesnt reconize phone
which odin3 are you using? 1.7? or the one click to stock?
you mentioned you had the bootloop problem before, so you should be using odin 1.7 with 2.2 stock.
open odin
get phone into download mode with your nice jig
unplug jig and plug in computer
box in odin should turn yellow.
And make sure you have the correct drivers installed. CRUCIAL.

If one-clicks aren't working, you might need to grab the full version of Heimdall or Odin and flash a full package. Some of the newer phone builds don't like one-clicks.

I have a question about the Odin3 program used to restore phone. I have followed this thread and done all of the things it says and I can not get the application to work. I have downloaded the drivers and done this step by step and I must be doing something wrong. I have no idea what to do. I have removed the sd card and the sim card, put the phone into downliad mode by method 2. After I click start on the program, I get to the file analysis part and then the program just sits there. I have waited for 45 minutes and nothing.
Please help! I flash cognition 4.3.2 over perception build 9.5 and now my phone will not turn on. It is stuck in a loop between the cognition start up screen and then goes to recovery and then keeps cycling. What should i do? Thanks in advance!!!
odin sometimes locks up. try again. the only real Problem that can really happen with ODIN is that it doesnt see your phone.
try rebooting your computer. force closing odin didnt help the person i helped before,
When I plug the phone into the computer, it says added on the Odin program. Is this correct? I have never used the Odin program before. After added, it says Odin v3, then it goes to file analysis....... It never leaves this point. Where can I find more information on this topic. Cant get to a restore point either, think I am in trouble!!!!!

Hi there.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note since I wanted to make it rootable.
When I bought it, I could use any simcard inside, so it is "unlocked".
Yesterday, I wanted to use my phone to root it but some files can't be downloaded via WWW.MULTIUPLOAD.COM (i guess it is because of what happened to MEGAUPLOAD).
So, one of my first questions is : is USB DEBUGGING activated when using the Galaxy note for the first time or not at all? (I didn't activate it when using my Galaxy Note before flashing it)
Second, I have used Odin to flash a file (PDA slot), the file was hard to find but google could help (i'm just meaning that some links here seem to be "broken" on multiupload). The flash was fine and the phone boot back... to a yellow triangle.
No way to change it.
No backup from the rom, but I remember it is a KKA.
I 've looked in that thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350960) to find everything that could help me, but the file is no more on multiupload
I tried via that thread, too :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370156 , but the problem remains
Third, I don't have any jug usb to use and no CMW installed nor loaded.
Could a kernel help to solve the problem about the yellow triangle, using ODIN, or not? Or is it better to use a fully functionnal rom, as a KKA?
Any help/comment would be much appreciated
N.B : sorry for my english that can be "poor" sometimes :s
Can you exactly give the file name, which you have used to flash PDA section? and size of it

1. It doesn't matter while flashing using PC Odin.
2. Are you sure about which ROM you flashed ( Suspecting you have flashed Custom ROM)
3. Their is way to remove Triangle (!) , you should use JIG

When No Any other method works to Root your device, use this

Note that, this will downgrade your ROM to KJ1, after that you can update it.
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/YB9EL8D8O3
- Make sure your SGN is NOT connected to your computer
- Reboot your SGN into "download mode" (Vol down + Home + Power))
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.tar" file
- Connect the SGN to your computer
- Make sure "repartition" is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot TWICE
- Done.

This thing you did wrong, I have made lot effort to update Rooting guide here, still somebody How can find this guide i dont know.
Basically you have flashed with Netchip method, which was very first appeared, but later netchip also said, to not to use, b'coz it causing raise Flash counter
as well yellow triangle.
Now onwards remember, NEVER use PC ODIN to Flash Any Custome ROM/Kernel.
I am updating link here soon, how to reset your counter. You requires JIG for that

BTW till you get JIG, just go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 and download and flash ROM using PC odin(here it is stock ROM u can use it safely). you will get your phone working. later you can reset counter with JIG
Download my guide from here, how to update ROM, you can use Updating ROM with PC Odin section from guide.
Many thanks again, dr.ketan for such reply so fast

My 2 cents about that question, but if I have a message saying that there is an error while turning on the phone now :
Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
The problem is, when using Kies (for Windows), it is looking for the Galaxy Note, and, even if it is connected via USB, nothing happens, it's looking long, long, long, time, then, it says that it can not find it.
So, is a JIG still required?

See, JIG is required for totally different reason.
Your issue regarding, not connecting kies / Booting phone, won't be solved by JIG.
Jig can b use in two condition. One when you are unable to enter in download mode. I think, you dont have this issue
another To reset counter, for which you require JIG in your case.
Error you are facing right now during booting of device, can be solved by Reflashing ROM. You can flash any stock ROM with PC Odin, shud be enough to solve it.
Now regarding use of JIG, just enter in download mode, check Lt upper corner of devoce, it will have number of flash you have performed, i think in your case it must be 1 or more. which in normal case should be zero. Only To reset that counter, you needs Jig.
Thanks again.
Well, I download another stock rom but I got a "fail" (red color) above "id:com", when flashing on ODIN.
I am using Windows7 and tested the compatibility mode, the problem remains.
I have .md5 file that I put on PDA part. Then I click on Start but nothing, except the "fail" message.
When turning off the phone and on, I got the other message, said in my previous post :
"Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So, Am I missing something.
About the download mode, the number is 7 in fact.
Oh I remember the file I wanted to flash via ODIN : netchip-cwm-update2.tar
It seemed to work just because the phone turned off and I got a "green" message that said that it was ok. (PASS).
I read one of your thread, when nothing works, so that man should go here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18981227&postcount=4
but the file (link) is not working now, so I can not get the file to test :s
But since then, I can not boot on Android anymore...
Yes unfortunately link is down since 2 days
Ya thats i guessed when i read you have used superuser zip, i have said earlier in 1 msg, you have used netchip.
Anyway, once go to recovery (vol up +home+power)n wipe data, clear cache, clear dwlvic caxhe.
Then put phone in download mode. Close firewall/antivirus on pc, open odin, connect device with download mode(vol down+home+power), if id com glow yellow, thn proceed with start

I can only go in download mode, and when turning off and on the phone, the message said above :s
is JIG the only way to solve all that?
is my phone "blocked"? I am trying to test another stock rom, I'll give it a try and let you guess what happens.
EDIT 22:37:
The flash with that rom (N7000XXLA4_N7000DREKL1_DRE) has failed, even if it is a stock one.
Can I try to use any other rom from another country? Before I tried to flash the rom, I saw it was a KKA. Can I try so with a LA3 or something else, still stock one?
Oh man, that's so bad....
I think I found the problem...
I am using Windows7 64 bits.
My wife is on WindowsXP and I am using Odin on her netbook, and it's quite better !
the flashing is going on.
Hey !!!! that's all good !!!!! ^^'
My Galaxy Notes is working again ^'^'
Maybe should it be mentionned to be careful when using Windows7 64 bits, if some other members would have the same problem when flashing their roms?
Congrates !
ya it is common problem(win7), many time it has been discussed , but it is not that everytime it not works, but it happens in few cases.
When reading your answer yesterday, I thought I might had a chance to make my Galaxy Note working again without JIG.
Now I've downloaded Samsung drivers, for Windows7 64 bits, and I can flash with no problem. I'm backing up and can use CWM
Thanks again for your help and answers
I had the same problem, but then I decided to use the ORIGINAL usb cable and see: it did the trick !!!. Even on Windows 10 64bit !.
I have an issue, I was updating my Captivate to 2.2 with Odin3 One Click and that worked fine, then for some reason I cannot explain I tried to use Odin to upgrade to 2.3 (the blow fish one) flashed the image then got the restart with the blowfish and then used Odin to complete the process as per the instructions and got soft brick, I fixed this with the one click unbrick, then it went into a boot loop.
The loop is AT&T screen then fuzzy colours and a restart (like a graphics card has gone haywire).
I can get into the download mode by removing the battery, plugging the USB cable in holding the volume buttons then installing the battery the download mode appears but Odin is not picking up the phone.
When it is in the loop I can get Odin to identify the phone but when I try to go into download mode it won’t identify it. I have tried with adb and it does the same thing.
Any suggestions? I have looked at the forums for a long while so my apologies if this has already been covered.
Have you installed the necessary drivers on your computer?
Sent from my glitched ICS Captivate using XDA App
You may want to also take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread - it has some steps to help get you connected in download mode.
Once you have it connected, you can probably safely flash a Gingerbread stock rom to get back to a clean place to start flashing from.
Hi,
Yes forgot to mention that I have installed the correct USB drivers, Odin picks up the phone during the loop so that tells me that the Cable is fine and the drivers are working. I will try to re-install them just to be safe.
Thanks I will look through the connection issues threads and see if that helps, I am at work at the moment so will be later in the day.
The garbled bootscreen happens when you try to run gingerbread with froyo bootloaders. You must have chosen a bootloader free package. Instead, for your first time flashing to GB (and first time only), use a package with bootloaders

What is this blow fish one that you speak of? Korockinout13 is correct that you are getting the garbled screen because of an incorrect bootloader. You may be having issues because the ROM you flashed might be an i9000 based ROM and you will need different drivers.

I believe the blowfish one he's referring to is the Fugu Root method.
About One-Click UnBrick
This Software:
Will work on all Samsung devices which use Odin3
Is a single, portable executable
Is the first one-click anything for our devices on Linux
Works on Mac
Works on Windows
Is open source
Is programmed in Java
Deploys and installs Heimdall for your OS
Is super easy to use.... Only one button!
Click to expand...

The bolded line is why ODIN no longer detects your phone. The Heimdall driver has been installed. You can either go grab a Heimdall one click from here or remove the Heimdall driver (trying another USB port may work) and then try using ODIN again.
Yes it was the Fugu Root's one and I didnt update to a Gingerbread bootloader before I flased it onto my phone.
Thank you for all your help, I will never mess around with my phone at 2am again.
I managed to get Odin to pick up the phone and was able to re-load FROYO and will start again.
Do Apex ROM Heimdall one-click flash with bootloaders enabled. Most painless process.

Ok I gave you the only warning in the PM. I have moved this thread. A word from the wise. Learn what you are doing before you do it. This is not something to be taken lightly. You could very easily mess something up beyond repair. Take a few hours to spend reading and researching.

Make sure you're using a usb port that is on the motherboard (back of computer). Before you plug in your phone to flash, set up Odin first. Put all the files you are going to flash in the right places. After Odin is fully set up, plug in the usb to the back of your computer, then to you phone. Make sure you are in download mode. If the usb still isn't working, try a different USB port that is on the back of the computer. Connecting the usb to the back of the pc is very important. Odin doesn't recognize my phone when it's plugged in the front, when the phone is in download mode. Only the back usb ports.
If Odin still doesn't recognize the phone, try a different USB cable. But do everything else the exact same way as I described.
Also make sure you fully setup Odin before you plug your phone in to the usb.

I just tried that....it worked but now I'm stuck at the ATT logo
You probably have mismatch kernel and bootloader loader. Maybe you can try to wipe data / factory reset in recovery.

If you continue to go into a bootloop then I recommend a USB jig for the galaxy s series. I had had that happen before, Nothing worked, couldnt get it into download mode, couldnt get into recovery, Until I got the USB jig, Fixed my problem right away, and I flashed back to stock. The USB jig is only 6 bucks on ebay. Ill link you if you are interested.

I know you're trying to be helpful, but there is no such thing as a kernel/bootloader mismatch...

Are you sure? Becuz I tried to flash an overclock kernel on my rom, and kept getting a bootloop. Then after flashing a few different kernels, the kernel that came with my rom didn't even work. I had to go back to stock and reflash my rom.
Idk, maybe it was just me then. I apologize. thank you for correcting me, that's how we learn what's right, and what's wrong.

noob advice
I'm a noob, so this comment might just serve to show how little I know, but whenever I find myself in a bootloop situation, I've noticed that the problem starts with the initial attempt of installing a rom via a kernel with an older version of CWM. During the post-install boot sequence, I'll see the AT&T splash screen, a CWM screen with script running, and then a reboot. Usually, accessing the CWM (now on a higher version) and reinstalling the rom will get it working. Not quite kernel / bootloader mismatch, but close.

Try this.
Buy a jig. Either off of Ebay or mobiletechvideos.com
That week get you into download mode.
Then find the HEIMDALL flasher for a build. (my favorite was the one click for saurom Kk4)
Install heimdall drivers, and flash. Boom. Functioning phone.
