Hello all,
The past day or so I have been attempting to install a fresh custom rom on my vzw tablet. I presently have a stock copy of DJ11 that is rooted installed.
When I put the device into download mode and connect to the computer, Heimdall (version 1.1.1) gives me the following error
Failed to access device. Error: -12
I have tried reinstalling the drivers, both off of the tablet and from the ZAdiag program included with Heimdall and the error persists. I have tried many different combinations of opening/closing heimdall/disconnecting and reconnecting the tablet while in download and out of download, and I have tried on two different PCs. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
I have seen another post on the forums about this particular issue, but the method of resolution that user was able to make work has not worked for me.
It seems to me that the tablet itself is to blame, like it is locking Heimdall out.
Basically at this point, any rom that requires use of Heimdall to install is not going to work. I do have CWM3 and the Verizon Bootstrapper installed, so if anyone has a link to a completely stock copy of the rom that comes in a zip, please link it as I would like to try that method of installing a new rom.
Thank you for any insight at all!!
Have you checked with odin to make sure the tablet is not connecting?
I had the same problem and pluged the device in another usb port, then hold power, volume down e home and after a while odin showed the yellow bar.
then disconnected it and put in another usb port, after that heimdall found it.
and to mention my tablet was dead, no screen no donwload mode, and not responding to button press. and still i was able to connect and ressurect it doing this.
Thanks for the good idea! When I connect it with Odin open, I get the yellow bar. I think that Heimdall is connecting as well, it just isn't being allowed to make any changes. Access denied is my suspicion. I'm not sure what would cause that, or how to correct it.

I am pleased to report that I was able to find a solution. With Odin running, I was getting a yellow bar indicating the device was connected. I ran Heimdall while Odin was still open...and voila, it worked without a hitch.
Thanks again for the assistance. Keep this one tucked away in your memory in case you ever experience something similar!
You can also update the USB drivers through Heimdall like the instructions say.... Might be a safer way than to have ODIN open too...
You just need to downgrade the usb drivers after using Heimdall to use ODIN again...

I had updated the drivers through Heimdall. Both in regular boot mode, and in download mode. Whatever caused the problem, it is seemingly fixed. I just hope it stays that way!
I've recently got a hold of a JIG. My computer recognizes the phone fine. I downloaded ODIN 1.7, follow the steps however it always stops at:
>><ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
Do I just downgrade to a different ODIN or how do I go about doing this?
Thanks.
Update: I've tried several versions of ODIN now and all of them freeze at the same point. I've tried ODIN 1 click and it freezes in the very beginning.
Try a different usb port, one that is connected directly to the motherboard
That's the first thing I did and it did not work. I've tried several mobo usb ports, still the same freeze. I tried a USB HUB just for the hell of it and I still get the same error.
Could it just very well be my computer that ODIN does not like?
Is there some crucial step I'm not identifying with my phone? I did brick it because of the same issue I'm facing now; ODIN's freezing.
Perhaps try to use a Heimdall package instead of Odin?
If ur using Windows, Run Odin as Administrator.-- Right click should give u the option.
Reboot ur computer as well, that may help.

Quick update: I decided to use my laptop, and odin1click worked great the very first time I tried it. No hiccups whatsoever.
Also I launched ODIN as admin and it still gave me the freeze error unfortunately on my gaming computer.
Must be my computer
Update: Odin totally does not work on my DESKTOP PC. I've successfully flashed my phone on my laptop but Odin totally freezes upon starting up.
Now Odin completely stopped working on my Laptop. I've concluded the latest version is just crappy.
Update: Heimdall worked perfect, thank you for the recommendation.
What build number is your Capp?
i attempted to flash my captivate from stock 2.1 to fasty 2.2 with odin, I read through a bunch of different forums and i thought i had everything set up properly and then flashing afterwards when i attempted to boot up the phone it would flash the at&t screen like its going to turn on repeatedly. so the thing with the phone is that none of the button combinations work to get the emergency recovery or download mode so i was forced to make a jig. i made the jig and it work putting into download mode but the problem from here is i cant get it to connect to my pc, when i plug it in i get a "USB Device Not Recognized" message and neither odin or heimdall will recognize it. i do not think its the cord because the cord im using now has been the cord i was using beforeand my phone was always recognized while i was using it. i hope someone may have some insight for me on this problem or i will be losing the nicest phone ive ever had that i only got to use for a few short weeks, someone pleas help.
Heimdall drivers / Samsung drivers conflict with each other. Try removing the Heimdall drivers and reinstalling the Captivate drivers (don't forget to reboot ur computer). Then right click and run as administrator the Odin 1st. Then connect ur usb to the back of ur computer if u r on a desktop or 1st port if u r on a laptop. then connect ur phone in download mode and see if Odin recognizes it.

ok, i run 32 bit-xp (ancient technology i know) i go into the control panel and find SAMSUNG USB Drivers for mobile phones, and those are the only drivers i can find, if there are other drivers for my phone would i have to get rid of them another way? and if so where do i find them?
using my friends computer i have odin and the drivers, his computer recognizes my phone and it comes up on odin when i plug it in after using the jig to put it into dl mode but once i master clear nothing happens it says master clear started and it just sits there no progress bar on the phone nothing happens in odin.... please help

I'd say that you shouldn't worry about doing master clear from Odin. If you can fully boot to whatever ROM you're using (even stock), there is an option in the settings menu to format your Internal SD card, which is the same thing as a master clear.
However, if you're just trying to flash stock, don't worry about the master clear at all. Just flash the stock rom and be on your way.
well the phone is completely bricked, before it was just repeatedly rebooting when i turned it on cause i failed to flash to the rom properly because im extremely new to the whole "phone modifying" thing and i was rushing which is not what your suppose to do cause these are very delicate processes, but now after plugging into the computer and attempting to master clear with odin when i turn it on i get the whole (cellphone Icon)..!..(computer icon) thing on my screen, i can still put it into dl mode from here with the jig i made but with my extreme noobness to this type of thing im not sure what to do still.. i dont want to mess up my phone any worse than i already have (if thats at all possible) and its just looking like i turned my phone into a paper weight at this point.

Don't panic - the phone--/!\--pc screen will work the same way as download mode.
Just start up odin, let it settle, hook up you phone with that screen on, and see if Odin sees it. If it does, try the flash again.
If not, go through the steps in my "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" post that's in my signature.

You're not bricked. Master clear isn't going to fix your issue, and even if you wanted to run it, it only works with the phone booted which you obviously can't do. You're still all good.
1. Breathe.
2. Right click on Odin One Click and "Run as Administrator."
3. Put phone in download mode with your jig.
4. Plug the USB cord into the back of the computer (never a hub).
5. Wait for odin to recognize the phone (box turns yellow in Odin).
6. Wait a few more seconds to make sure nothing crashes.
7. Click start. Don't touch your phone, unplug it, run any other computer programs, or generally touch anything until the flash is complete. It will say "Done" and the phone will reboot.
okay i just want to flash back to stock if i can get it connected, if you can point me into the direction of the simplest way of doing this it would be greatly appreciated, i would love to learn how to do all of this fancy rom flashing stuff but bricking my phone is too much of a risk you know?
id prolly hug you if i met you in person, i was almost positive i was screwed.

That's bad advice. And you have obviously never tried it.
First. You don't remove heimdall drivers. You just use the closed source Samsung installer
Second. As an open source community, with an open source system like android, recommending using Odin over heimdall is just plain wrong. Without open source you wouldn't even have an android. Open source supports open source. No one should support closed source
Third, all that is required is to use another USB port. The open source libusb drivers were made right. Samsung drivers blow away the entire system. Libusb is only installed on a single USB port. The rest still work with Odin.

Didn't know until this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19998299&postcount=115 that it was possible to use Odin and Heimdall without removing one or the other drivers. This was never stated in the Heimdall Thread in the Captivate Android Development Forum or the Heimdall website or the Read Me, that I have seen.
And I have even admitted that I have not tried Heimdall. -- Here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19995597&postcount=113
And I can only recommend what I know works. Odin is what I use and I have not had any problems occur that could not be resolved. And there are stated risks with both Odin and Heimdall. It is up to the individual user to choose which he uses and to understand that if they brick their phone, that is the risk that they were willing to take.
I use (support, if u must) Odin. I am not an "Ultra Open Source" guy as you appear to be (have u never used Odin?). I will keep using Odin and maybe one day give Heimdall a try, because I am not anti-Heimdall at all. Until then I will try to give the best advice I know to help others, just as I have received help from many.
If you're ultra-android, then you need to be ultra-open-source. Open Source development is what keeps our community alive. You have the right to request the source code for every ROM created on these forums because they are based on GPLV2 software.
Of course I've used Odin... I would never recommend it to anyone because it's not safe to use for a beginner. Heimdall One-Click has 6 points of safety over Odin.
Prove to me that Odin does what it's supposed to. Prove to me that Odin does not have a bot-net installed. Prove to me that Samsung can't just flip a switch and cause a brick on any given device when it's connected to Odin. Prove to me that any Odin One-Click is what it says it is without flashing it... You can prove all of these things with Heimdall.
Here's the source tree for Heimdall One-Click, One-Click UnBrick, and Heimdall One-Click Packager http://heimdall-one-click.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ You can inspect the code for malicious content. On top of that, a finished One-Click is in an executable JAR format. This means it can be unzipped and each file can be inspected for malicious content and/or virus scanning.
Recommending Odin is not only against the moral fabric of this community, it's also risky. I don't know of a single brick that Heimdall One-Click has caused.... However people make a full-time job out of recovering bricks caused by Odin.
Here you go.. use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172 Choose if you want rooted or non-rooted.
i have windows 7 and a samsung captivaye flashed with heimdall 2.3.4 gingerbread. i want to flash 2.3.5 with clockwork mod and can only find one that comes with a odin one click. my problem is the comuter recognizes the phone heimdall does too but no version of odin will. any ideas on how to get odin to see my phone. and yes im in download mode

Reinstall your drivers. After installing the Heimdall driver, your driver that you need for Odin is borked.
i have reinstalled the phone drivers many times. i eaven downloaded them from samsung and tried that that. when i plug my phone in the computer will say installing drivers then it says completed. i restarted computer right click odin run as admin but nothing shows up in the com box..

also is there a way to get out of download mode with out flashing the rom
got it. i let kies mini install drivers for phone then once kies mini found the phone so to did odin
oh and just help someone else who may be having these issues. yes you can unplug the phone as long as its not already flashing a rom. never unplug if already in the middle of flashing or you will brick the phone. to get out of download mode if you are not in the middle of a flash. if you find yourself like me and have put the phone in download mode and odin or whatever you are using will not recognize it or maybe you forgot to check usb debugging then unplug phone from computer remove battery for a few seconds and the phone should boot normally. tahnks guys for all the help i really appreciate it

If you connect your phone to the PC and then go to the computer's Device Manager, is it recognizing the phone correctly? Or are you getting the yellow exclamation point over the icon?
I use Heimdall when doing Odin tasks. It is an Open Source equivalent to Odin available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I'm not too familiar with Windows problems because I have been on Linux for the past 7 years. I have only used Windows in those years for updates to a Captivate that only worked through Kies, and rooting an Acer tablet with a Windows only tool.

I have seen some suggestions to try a different USB port, I expect you already have.
Other thoughts:
What version of Odin are you using?
Have you tried Kies?
Is your phone stock or modified?

I have tried numerous computers, numerous cables, numerous USB ports, I have tried every version of Odin known to mankind, I have tried with kies, without kies, and my phone is completely stock, not modified whatsoever, this one has me stumped. I have used odin on no less than 1000 phones never have I had a phone not react to Odin. the phone reacts 100% of the time to anything but Odin, I am wondering if Samsung has released a security update that is preventing communication with Odin

UPDATE:
After trying 3 different computers (windows XP & windows 7 64 & 32 bit, with Kies installed and without Kies installed), 12 different USB Ports, and 10 different cables at my house to NO AVAIL, just for a goof went to a friends house to try his computer (Windows 7 64 bit with Kies 2.6 & 3 installed), put the phone in download mode, connected it to his computer, with a random cable, opened Odin, and BOOM it showed up right away. I DON'T GET IT !!! WTF !! I have used Odin on no less than 1000 phones on my home PC with NO Problems, I try to hook this phone up to 3 different computers at my house (2 laptops and a PC), and Odin WOULD NOT see this phone. I am Stumped!
Glad you got it to work. I hope you were able to accomplish what you needed while you were at your friends.

Yes, I was able to Root the device with Towelroot after reverting from 4.4.2 Build NH3 to 4.4.2 Build NE3, Now I just have to get this thing home to "Fix" the IMEI number. One must be rooted before being able to "Fix" the IMEI number. I wish Samsung would just cut the **** with these unnecessary updates.....
This is one for the books. Must have just been a finicky phone..... Didn't like my computers, cables, or something.
Anyone have any experience with this and any ideas? Trying to flash latest N960U1 firmware from sammobile and following their directions exactly.

Make sure you are using the original cable that came with phone. If you are and still having troubles then remove all you USB devices.
I built a new PC recently and couldn't flash which was driving me nuts. Turned out that once I removed the USB hub from PC flashing worked. No I was not attaching phone to hub but to a USB 2 port. The hub was a powered hub but I thought it was working fine without the added power supply but that caused issues with Odin. Put the hub back in place with power to it and now can flash too.
Drove me nuts. I even dug out an old laptop that had Windows 8 on it just so I could use Odin but figured out issue on new PC...
