[Q] Flashing with Odin failed, Can access Download but PC doesn't recognize device

Hi,
I tried flashing a ROM with Odin to my I9000 today, and in the middle of flashing I received an error message. Once I tried to start it I got a weird logo on my screen with a yellow exclamation mark. Managed to enter Download mode again though.
Once I disconnected the device and tried to connect it again in Download mode, my PC stopped recognizing it - I got "USB Device not recognized" and can't use Odin to flash anymore.
I tried Heimdall on OSX as well but it didn't work either.
Is this fixable ?
Thanks,
George

At which phase did the flashing stopped? Uninstall and reinstall the drivers again.

Since your phone boots to download mode, it's absolutely fixable, so chill!
I've been through this before, and this method worked.
1. Reboot PC.
2. Clear /temp folder on PC.
3. Boot phone into download mode.
4. Connect to PC, so that ur PC recognizes your device.
5. Switch off phone.
6. Set up Odin with all the files assigned like PDA, modem and csc.
*I suggest re-partitioning using 512.pit file
7. Boot phone to download, connect to PC, hit start on Odin.
Done
#if device is still unrecognized, reinstall drivers.
Let me know if it helped.

Hi,
I followed your instructions & I tried a different set of drivers but I still get Windows cannot recognize your device error.
The error occurred in Odin while flashing the main image (the big file).
Are you sure that as long as I can get to Download Mode I can still recover from this ?
Thanks,
George

Try removing the SIM and/or SDcard before reflashing again with ODIN.
It's a solution I found on the forums that saved my I9000 before.

The problem is that I can't even get to the stage where I'm able to flash anything. No PC/Mac will recognize my device.

Well, I know this may sound weird..
1. Reinstall drivers
2. Detach battery and keep phone that way for 5-6 hour. (I dunno why, but this worked with me!)
3. IMPORTANT DON'T SKIP: clear all temporary files on your PC.
4. MOST IMPORTANT: reboot download and simply "connect" to PC with no other applications running. This time, your PC should recognize your device.
5. Turn off your phone, reboot your PC, again clear temporary files.
6. Start Odin, assign files to respective fields, check repartition. NOW CONNECT THE PHONE TO PC IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
7. After Odin recognizes (that block goes yellow), wait for a minute, start.
##Please follow all the steps do not skip any.
It should 99% fix your phone, if it doesn't, service centers will be happy to help.

Question about drivers and connection with Kies

I'm having a problem with connecting with Kies, It doesn't recognize my Captivate (Or may be it do) and It doesn´t pass of Connecting device.
So I´m trying to root my device, but in one of the steps that I read it says that if the device don´t connect or sincronize with phone the drivers are not correctly installed and might have problems with flashing with Odin.
So my question is... If I´m having this problem with conection, What it really means? That my drivers are not installed correctly? Or is another problem and I can continue with the procedure?
I´m sorry! It maybe is a silly question but I´m new on this! I appreciate your help, thank you very much!!!

I wouldn't bother with Kies. If there is a driver problem, Odin won't be able to recognize the phone. If you still can't get it to work, there's always Heimdall.

Ok, but... How can I know if Odin recognize my device without risk? I mean, if I connect the phone and it works with Odin. Do I have to continue with the process?
Or I can disconnect it and try it again later when I want? (I have to be sure what I´m going to do lol)

Once u have Odin opened and ur phone in download mode next and then ur phone connected to the pc last, Odin will let u know that it recognizes ur phone by the com port box turning yellow if u r using Odin3 v 1.83 or similar. If u r using an One Click Odin it will show in the log box "Added". At either one of these points if u do not want to continue just remove ur cable from ur phone, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot. Close Odin.
But if u tap Start on either one of the Odins, after u have connected to ur pc and been recognized by the Odin, then do not remove the cable. Let the process finish. Also, always be sure to use a reliable micro usb/usb cable and have a sure power source.

Flash a GB rom using PC Odin and c if it boots.
Don't forget to wipe cache/data by going to recovery after flash completed.

The problem is, that my computer won't recognize it. Even if i am in download mode.All i get is the message "Unknown/unrecognized Device". It's worth mentioning that i've had some problems charging it lately. Could it be that the micro usb-port is damaged?

Windows cannot recognize it, as it doesn't boot.
However in downloadmode PC Odin dhould see it.
Start Pc Odin
Put the phone in download mode
Connect and see if the serial port in PC odin goes yellow.
If it does then reflash a stock rom.
If your phone works back, update Mobile Odin to the latest version, there
has been a problem with the latest roms where it bugs in flashing /cache

One more thing to add, close Kies before starting Odin, then put phone in dl mode, then connect phone, then flash Rom..

[Q] No SIM Message After Installing Latest CM10.1.3

Hello.
I recently installed CM10.1.3 on my GT-I9000 running stock GB. I did everything according to the instructions (though, mind you, this was not my first time installing a ROM just the first time on this device).
When I booted and tried to set up a CM account it gave me a message saying "Insert SIM card". I tried installing the kernel again, as well as installing other ROMs (AOKP mostly).
Nothing seems to work. It will simply not recognize my SIM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Might be also worth mentioning that I tried it with a few different cards, all of which work with other devices, and not with this one.

you can try taking it back to stock ROM , you can follow this but it sounds like you may have hardware problem, if that fails as sim contacts can get broken or damaged too and can be replaced. so best to test with Stock ROM to check if its a software or hardware problem. also try to flash without SIM card and insert after flashing and first boot.

For a clean install and root, flash JVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU
The whole procedure is given below
FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:
1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect
2. Turn off your phone and put it in download mode
by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so
continue..if not do it again...
3. Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.
4. In ID:COM it should go yellow and you should see
ADDED in the message box
5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT
button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
6. Click PDA button and select :
CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
7. Click PHONE button and select:
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
8. Click CSC button and select:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar
9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,
Click Start and let it Run
10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone
(computer will make a few noises like connect/
disconnecting
11.Unplug the Cable to the Phone
You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting
Procedure for rooting:
1. Power Off Phone
2. Download CF-Root kernel first.
Unzip the file to a folder. You
will get the .tar file – CF-Root-
XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar
— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract
the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip
file, which it is not). You need to flash
the .tar file using Odin to gain root
access and install the ClockworkMod
Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re
getting zimage file, it means you’ve
extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s
not a right thing to do.
3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —
Press and hold volume down+HOME
+POWER keys together.
4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-
CWM3RFS.tar
6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.
7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.
8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and
clockworkmod based recovery has
been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy!

I assume you have a software issue, that's why I asked you to revert to Stock ROM after you confirmed the SIM card was not inserted the wrong way round. , only IF the sock ROM also gave you that result than you need to consider hardware, as I have not heard of anyone having this issue after flashing CM 10.
AS for PIT file its in 4Shared site, all they would require is you should be a member and register with them ( you can do that with any name and password) the ROM site is FileRio, there you should only use free download button , clicked a number of times ( same button) for download to begin, both uploads were by me, so its virus free. I will upload pit file to the thread asap as its very small file.
EDIT: already uploaded PIT File to thread uploaded 3 PIT files in a package used for i9000, only use 512

the guide to solve such problems is right on top (begining) of that thread
Note:- It's assumed that you can and know how to connect your Phone to PC with USB cable . If you do not know, first install Samsung USB drivers on your PC/Laptop, than enable USB debugging on your phone by settings menu>Developer options> tick USB Debugging. After this use only Samsung USB cable and plug it into your phone micro USB port and to your PC USB Port. ( Always use the Back USB port on PC as some ports may not connect well enough for flashing ROM's. )
If unable to connect your phone to PC for any reason, refer to this guide

I tried everything in that guide, and it still the same.
Might be worth noting that the computer totally does recognize the device. I mean, I can access the internal SD from the computer, when the phone is on. It's just that when I connect it in download mode, Odin doesn't respond.
Might also be worth to stress that I used Heimdall to flash the recovery, when I did it. Could it be related to why I can't use Odin now?

And another thing regarding my main issue - could the "Insert SIM" message be a modem thing?

The password for XXJVU is samfirmware.com
If you are still unable to open this, then download XXJVU by Google searching and then try. This is the best way to get rid of the problem.
If you are able to go to download mode, install USB drivers for Samsung and restart PC . Now exit the Kies program and its related services from your PC. If you are using windows, you may find the tray icon and exit by right clicking. Now run Odin and flash.
If you are not able to go to download mode then search "homemade usb jig" and use the jig method described in those threads.

I'm trying to download the XXJVU again. Will see how goes.
I am able to go to download mode. So that's not it. I also don't have Kies installed on my computer, so that's also not it. I installed a few different Samsung drivers, and did the whole process a few times. The computer always recognizes the phone, but Odin doesn't.

I don't get why I can't delete stuff, if I accidentally posted twice. Anyway - feel free to disregard this one. Sorry for spamming..

OK. Managed to open the XXJVU.
Still have the problem with Odin not paying attention to my phone being there. Do you think it might be a problem with dl mode, that I should try fix with a jig (the phone does act LIKE it in dl mode - yellow triangle and all...)?

You seem to be having strange problems. I assume you pressed the correct combo keys ( as shown in image on that thread) and you did not get download mode ( this could be due to ) you don't have an i9000 but a different version of Galaxy S? or your keys are not functioning or you have a wrong bootloader
so use this methods & tool from PC to boot into download mode after you are sure you have an i9000 international version by checking under the battery. just to give you an idea , read this
Odin will only connect when phone is in Download mode, so as you mentioned you have NO problem with drivers and PC, its only your phone not being able to enter download mode.

hmm, i got the impression that you are not getting the download mode display , if it does than it is in download mode, so now you need to check your Odin3 download, what version are you using , try and download again and always use fresh Odin3, meaning, if it had a problem or even when no problem restart it a fresh. And best install Samsung USB drivers again ( link on that thread), if that did not solve it.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​

I tried both versions that from here (i.e. v1.83 and v1.85). I'm not really doing anything else with Odin, so there's nothing to restart.
I also tried uninstalling and installing the drivers a few times, using a few different installation files, and by letting windows figure out on its own which drivers to install.
Non of it changed the result.

Samsung galaxy tab sgh t849 can't connect in download mode.

Hi all...I have a very big problem. when I plug my tab into my pc it recognizes it with no problem until I try it in download mode the I get a message saying that my usb port has malfunctioned. Then I switch back to any other mode and its connects again with no problem until. I don't know what to do. I'm 2.2 and rooted but just want to install cwm or twrp recovery, update to 2.3 gingerbread and maybe flash a Rom. I can't connect to odin or the other when in download mode but they recognize it in regular mode with no problem. Please any help will do.

Can you stop Kies?
Or uninstall it, and only install Samsung usb driver.

I have most def tried that but no good. I'm stumped, I wish it was some way to install a recovery from my sdcard.

I guess you only have 3 (or 4) options to try:
- try heimdall
- try on another PC
- boot a livecd linux and and install heimdall on it.
(if you have a spare hard disk, just remove the current one, and stick a new disk and install a clean OS)

Sounds like I really only have 2 options
1. Try another computer because I've tried Heimdall and it's the same as Odin. It connects to both when in normal mode or even Samsungs recovery mode but when i put it in download mode, it's a no go.
2. Just stay on a rooted 2.2 (which sucks)

Are you using the original cable?
Heard of some issue with non original, but I have a non original that works for me.
Also,
- factory reset, then boot to download mode, start Odin on PC, then lastly, connect the tab
- or may worth going to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, and delete the device (not sure if that is doable, not in front of a Microsoft OS), then click the scan for changes again to let it detect.

update.....well I tried the factory reset plan and it didn't work....In download mode I still get the same message stating that one of my usb ports have malfunctioned. I'm going to try it from another computer tomorrow.....hopefully the problem is with my computer and not the device.

Are you using the original cable?
Heard of some issue with non original, but I have a non original that works for me.
Also,
- factory reset, then boot to download mode, start Odin on PC, then lastly, connect the tab
- or may worth going to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, and delete the device (not sure if that is doable, not in front of a Microsoft OS), then click the scan for changes again to let it detect.

I wonder if i can use adb to install cwm or twrp recovery......or if I can flash without being in download mode

Hi. I have similar problem like lordhavmercy. When I connect tablet with PC on download mode and start Odin there is no yellow COM field just blank white field. My PC recognize it as a Samsung USB Composite Device:
