[Q] Foryo 2.2 problem

The odin doesnt work for me
It goes really fast and my phone never restarts.
My phone just stays on the downloading screen.
Am i using the right odin if not can any tell me where it is?
i got mine from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282

You have to start up Odin then plug in your phone while powered off, then using the button combos, vol up and down and power buttons held down at the same time when the battery charging icon flashes off for the second time release only the power button, within a few seconds you should see the download screen and Odin should see your phone, then hit start. The process should take about ten minutes, from the time Odin starts, your phone reboots and scans media.
Sounds like you had your phone in download mode before starting Odin. That is the correct Odin, check to see if Odin sees your phone forst by starting Odin and then while the phone is powered on plug it in. If Odin dosen't recognize your phone, you need the correct drivers found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989.

[Q] Phone will not power on after failed Odin restore

I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.
So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.
I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.

Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/

pull battery sim and sd if you have one
Wait a minutes or so
plug in USB
hold vol up and down
put in battery
If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.

I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.
I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.

Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.
Thanks for your time guys.

sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...
not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey

I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.
When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.
Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.
That should get you into download mode

Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me

I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)
What was the Odin log?

nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while
where can i find the odin logs?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Boot Problem

I have a problem with my galaxy. It can't boot stuck on first white logo Galaxy S GT-I9000. I have do anything (volume + & center button, volume - & center button.... all combination!)
Is there any solution for this please?
The problem is exactly the same with this video: on youtube search for "Samsung Galaxy S Boot Problem"
Thanks a lot.

Nothing? please help!

I have the same issue. Tempted to try the home made jig but if there is a way without then ill try that first.
Ive tried:
Booting with various button combos.
button combos then installing battery.
combos with 3 flashes
.....
the list goes on.
My phone would happily go into download mode previously but not into OS. So I tried flashing 2.2 jp1 and it went how it is now. Odin said successful too

Hi Theodore+
I tried the jig and it worked a charm. Def recommend giving it a go.

Hi..
i'm having a weird problem..
well i upgraded to froyo 2 weeks ago using the registration trick and it was ok till yesterday.
my phone turned off suddently (while i had 60% left from battery), couldn't turn it on again.
cannot go to recovery mode, but can go to download mode.
the thing is i could boot my phone once i plug the usb to the computer or once i plug the charger..
so my phone cannot boot without being plugged
does anyone know anything about it?
Cheers..

Try pluggin in a external microSD.
Than boot and see if anything different.

Sorry xxgg but i didn't get what you're trying to tell me...
i have a microSD it's always there... how to pluggin in a microSD?
the thing is when i try to turn on my unplugged phone i see an empty battery..
once i plug it i turn it on normally..
thanks.

[Q] bricked tab after odin "success" message

i've tried to flash my tab using odin and overcome stock safe (first step on their guide). everything went ok in odin, got a green success message. but now, my tab won't turn on or do anything at all. the only response I get is after pressing the turn-on button and then the screen sort of lights up but nothing else.

Have you tried reentering download mode and flash again?
Maybe first time you did something wrong and now have to reflash a stock rom. See "How to unbrick" threads for details

hey
I can't get it into download mode at all. just the backlit screen thing

Try getting into recovery, DO wipe/factory reset, clear cache, reboot... (search how to do it, can tell you, but better U search and find out)

can't do that either. I tried power button + vol up / down combo, but all i get is a backlit screen that turns off the second i release the power button
edit: not sure if its a regular brick, but what happens is this: I press the power button for about 3 seconds, the back light goes on but that's it. if i leave the button the light goes off

Does your PC recognize the Tab in that condition, if yes, connect thru Odin and flash again or try flashing overcome kernel atleast..

nope i've tried to connect it using USB but got no connection

Is your Tab fully charged ?? Try to charge it for a couple of hours and if it turns on, enter the download mode and try again. But please make sure to charge the tab.....just in case.
Good luck

yes, it was fully charged. anyway, i was able to open it up, unplug and replug the battery, but now it does nothing. doesn't light up, doesn't respond to charging or connecting to PC

M21 logo loop, can't access recovery

My mum tried to do the last update on her phone, during which most probably battery ran out - now phone is basically a brick.
When turned on it's stuck on logo loop, rebooting itself every 5-10 seconds or so vibrating once and repeating. When unplugged or plugged into the wall none of the button combinations work - the phone basically ignores everything.
When plugged to PC via USB I can invoke "updating process"? with Volume Up + Power / Volume Up combination, which should lead me to recovery menu - instead the phone goes into "update", loads bar up to 25%, gets stuck for about a minute or so, reboots and goes into logo loop.
Hard reset also "works" when plugged into PC - update screen shows up, gets stuck on 1%, phone gets hard rebooted, update comes up again, goes up to 25%, reboots and on to the logo loop...
Can I even somehow get into recovery mode to wipe cache to allow the phone to get update again or even wipe data to flash custom ROM? Screw data, I just want to make it work and not have a brick lying on the desk...

Have you tried using reiboot-for-android.exe by Tenorshare Co Ltd? Might help. Or if the device is within warranty then try Service Centers for that device.

You can try flashing stock rom from odin.
Download your current stock rom from samfw.com and extract the zip file.
Install odin and samsung usb drivers (link) and reboot your pc.
Reboot into download mode from your phone and press volume up:
Keep USB connected, Hold Volume Down and Power buttons, When screen turns off, hold Volume Up and Volume Down buttons
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open odin and load the files:
AP = AP*.tar.md5, BL = BL*.tar.md5, CP = CP*.tar.md5, CSC = CSC*.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click flash and wait till it says pass
Press and hold volume down and power to reboot. The first boot can take a while. Hopefully this will fix it.
