[q] odin3 help!

I have a samsung i9000 with stock JF3 and had rooted and lag fixed it but was having problems downloading apps, paid at first then all downloads begun to fail.. Anyway I tried to use ODIN3 to re-flash the original firmware but to no avail!! I took the battery sim card and sd card out put the phone in download mode, Then started odin3 and connected the phone. Odin3 can see the port but just stays on analysing files... Have then disconnected and tried over and over and over... so many times I don't care to remember. It never gets passed the analysing files. It did fail twice, but that was something to do with samsung kies stealing the COM port (I think!!). Anyway thought I would try and update the firmware through samsung kies. But just get the unable to upgrade this firmware. Which I'm surprised at as most seem to have the option think its to do with my firmwares but not sure.
If anyone could shed light on this also it would be much appreciated!!
Code XXJF3, Modem XXJF3, CSC XENJF3
Anyway to the point of this topic. I Now want to just flash the new Firmware myself but am wondering, If I could not connect odin3 to re-flash the original firmware... Am I going to have problems re-flashing with downloaded firmware! Am thinking there's a great chance of bricking my phone. Doing it all in the correct order so dont understand why it wont connect!!!
Also is there another way/program I could use to flash my device???

You could try using Samsung Kies to install the JM1 official firmware

I did... I also wrote that in the thread!! Where I said it cannot be upgraded through kies!

Disconnect all usb devices except mouse and kb and try again. Best to use windows xp. A powered usb Hub helped me too. I think sgs drains too much power from usb ports

Thanks I shall try that!, got lots of USB's plugged in... I am on xp... If this does not work though, is there an alternative to ODIN3??? or am I stuck on stock JF3... As that would be unbearable.. no samsung update and cant do it myself!!!! I have noticed a few of the senior members do live in Holland, so I shall put it out there that if one of you nice dutch fella's who know's what your doing wouldn't mind having a look at my sgs for me I would be very much greatfull! Holland isn't the biggest of places so I would be willing to travel.... Thats how much I wanna get this sorted!!

Subject Solved
Well I have found the answer!!... Well for me anyway!
I was following the information everywhere as to how to put my SGS into downoad mode!: Volume up + home + Power button... I was assuming this was correct as it was loading up with an android menu with the following options: Restart phone, Update via update.zip, restore to factory settings. I thought while in this I was in download mode. No I wasn't!! LOL... God knows how many times I was trying to connect odin3 and to no avail. I have now found out if i press volume down + home + power button... walaaaa A big green android man doing what appeared to be some digging (Didn't stay on screen long) also with DOWNLOADING in huge green letters... I am now assuming this maybe download mode and I will have better joy attaching my SGS to odin now... If I am wrong someone may slap me in the face with a giant swordfish and leave me for the rats!

Note can't connect to Kies

Kies tried to make a connection to Note but fail. I got error message, can not start service on device, please disconnect then reconnect the device. any help please.

note can connect only to the latest kies version. mine is 2.1.1.11124_17. make sure u have the latest kies version.
even after the latest version, sometimes i had problem connecting to kies.
i first opened the kies application in my pc and then connected the cable to phone. it helped. but occasionally i had the connecting problem.
if you need kies just for a transfer,then try using kies air in your phone.

Try these steps,
Make sure you are in Stock ROM
Upgrade Kies
Re install USB Drivers in PC
Try with different USB Ports
Try with Different USB Cable

Try this:
With Kies opened and cable connected, shut down the phone, wait until the menu and return buttons close, then restart phone.

I tried 2 computers already.

Turn Off USB Debugging Mode then try.
Settings > Application > Development >
This should work.

I have tried all the suggestions except that power off the phone then restart it.

Try with that , if that also dint work , you do factory reset or Odlin Flash to New Update.

Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work by power down the note then restarted it.
This is latest firmware.
Current firmware version: PDA:KKA/PHONE:KKS/CSC:KK3(XEU)
latest firmware version: PDA:KKA/PHONE:KKS/CSC:KK3(XEU)
Is this right

Ya may be.. coz different region ll get different version update. in India last update we got KL3
Follow this link see which is the last update for your region
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Mine is a UK note

i think XXLA1 2.3.6 is the final update for your region.. but this update is not available via Kies.

What are you trying to do that requires KIES anyway? If it's for file transfer then just put it into mass storage mind or use KIES air!

Hi, in my experiance, I had a same problem in this topic. followed this topic. i restarted my Note 1. after that i can connect with Kies easily.

[Q] Need to restore for warranty but USB doesnt work.

Hi guys,
Bit of an awkward one, I need to restore my Note from CM10 to a standard rom to send it back to Samsung for repair of the USB and screen burn in.
Only problem is the USB not working means I cannot do it via the PC, is there any other way I can sort this out or am I stuck with replacing the USB connection myself and stuck with a bad screen?
Maybe with mobile ODIN? Not sure if they can detect if I use that? Also any idea whats the best stock rom to use please? (UK Based)
Cheers for your help.

mobile odin is the way to go... while on cm, clean the data. then load any stock jb rom file and flash.. dont use ota survival option in mobile odin.

Just download some stock rom and flash it. Then reset flashcounter (& triangle) using triangleaway (I know older version worked on SGS2) and You're good to send.

Download the Stock ROM from Sammbile.com of your own country.
Use Mobile Odin to flash the STOCK ROM
Then reset the counter by Triangle Away, Yes it works fine.
And then send it to SC.
:good:

Thanks for the help guys, one last problem, how can I use Triangle away without root? As I guess I best not send it back to samsung with it rooted.

you cannot.. you will need to root. use TA and then unroot it again.

Was just reading the description on mobile odin and it says it doesnt increase the count so I should be ok just with that.... hopefully

flashing a stock rom doesnot increase counter. if your count is 0 and binary is official, then its fine

Yeah, You're right. Sorry, I gave You the wrong order.
First reset counter and triangle, then flash stock ROM (as it doesn't increase flash counter)

[Q] Stuck

HI, This is my first android so bear with me!! I purchased a galaxy s4 active last October. Since then I dropped it and it has a small crack in the glass in the corner so Samsung wont help me. My phone worked fine after the drop and later took the update, however, aftyer some time I connected it to the computer and an ap i had on my computer ( I think it was part of an antivirus app) said my device needed a new driver and asked to install it at which I said ok. Whatever happened my phone doesnt work. I can start it up but I only get a message that says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I have done this time and time again to no avail. Kies says it doesnt recognize my device firmware. I have the update software on my pc and odin and I've tried to reinstall it on the phone with this notice on and in download mode. Either way it fails. Please help if you can, I'm stuck,aggravated, etc....etc.. Thank you MUCH for your time, Herbie :crying:

Ok Sir in new in here but there are certain things i have already understand.
1. Your phone is the intl national versión or regular a&t version (SGH-I537)
2. Wich Android version were You runing before it brake down?
3. Have you tried to push volume down + power? That gets you to Odin mode.
4. If yours is attending version please check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625033
That's the whole 4.3 package if your noon look for Odin 3.09 it's way more understandable on where you have to put each package.
5. If your phone is intl version please check samobile
For your phone software and make sure you have downloaded the drivers for your phone.
You can look for them in Samsung.com

My phone is regular at&t version SGH1537 and I updated it to 4.3 OTA before it broke down. As I stated I have the update ( 4.3 ) on my computer and Odin, so of course I tried the download mode but odin said the process failed and my phone is stuck. It wont start up any further than this message!!! :crying:

Try reinstalling the drivers for the i537 (as mentioned before they're on Samsung's site). Also make sure you're using the USB cable that came with the phone. For some reason, not all USB cables will work properly. As long as you can get into Download mode there is no reason you shouldn't be able to Odin back to stock. Make sure the Odin files you downloaded aren't corrupted by checking the MD5. Just keep trying Odin on different computers, with different cables, and different USB ports until it works. It sucks, but for some reason Odin is super picky about what it needs to work properly.

Did you tried to retry? Maybe your internet connection went down when firmware was downloading...

Don't afraid from hard brick. Embrace the Odin you'll always need it. Do as this
Extract the firmware file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait 6-7 minutes

If you upgraded from Kies the you really dont need to worry. Kies has a option in it called "Emergency Firmware Recovery". Just connect your phone to PC. Start Kies>Tools>Emergency Firmware Recovery.
Your phone will appear in the list below. Just select it and kies will do the rest of the job.
If you are really afraid and you have your warranty then just take it to the nearest Samsung Service Centre and they must repair it for you since the problem was created from Kies itself.

I've try to upgrade my SM-G530F in samsung kies. But it said failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred who can help me
Thankyou
