Guys, I desperately need your help! I'm a bit of a noob and tried to update my Galaxy S to 2.2 and forgot to uninstall Voodoo and unroot before doing so. My phone now won't switch on properly, displaying only a black screen and the capacitive buttons are lit up. I have downloaded odin but don' t know what to do from here. I have searched EVERYWHERE for what files I need to download to flash it to stock firmware. PLEASE PLEASE help, I'm so lost! Thanks...look forward to replies
Take out battery, sim and SD, open up Odin and plug USB cord into a USB port. Now plug the battery back in your phone and DO NOT TURN IT ON! hold the two volume rockers(maybe difdrent for you, I have a Captivate) and plug your phone into the USB cord. You should now be in download mode with Odin running. Flash a working firmware(get them from samfirmware.com) and you'll just have an working phone running whatever you decided to flash. I think your new so ill warn you right quick: read, alot!
PS: might wanna post this in q&a. People tend to get p-ssed off when you post non-development stuff in this subforum.

Searched everywhere!? Can you get into download mode? If you can grab the stock firmware from somewhere like samfirmware and flash the files using odin. If you search "everywhere" again I'm sure you'll find a good guide on how to do this.
You've also posted this in the wrong section
First off are you looking to flash the i9000 or the i9000m below are the instructions for the i9000m from Canada.
Here is a Tutorial if you dont want to follow my steps below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
Ok download mode is your down volume button, power and home key all at once, if you cant get here you are f'd. So power off your phone, take your sim and sd card out, place battery back in, then hit the 3 buttons to get into download mode.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Get odin and the rom you want, if you are on Bell or Sasktel use the link above and download the proper rom either 2.1(i9000ugjh2) or 2.2 (i9000ugjk3), it's under canada you can't really get that wrong.
Once you have both open odin v1.7, put your phone into download mode and plug it in, you have to have odin open before plugging it in, you should see the driver installing and when it is ODIN will show your device under ID:COM, it will be yellow something like c:[COM15] (note it doesn't have to be 15) just has to show added!! under Message.
Now click PDA button and find the rom you downloaded. Make sure Re-partition is NOT checked and that is it, click Start. You can have autoreboot checked and reset time. NOTE: DO NOT USE PIT FILE. All you have to do is find the rom via PDA button, and click start.
It should flash your rom, post back if you ahve issues, I had a few issues and know this pretty good, I also used a pit file and thought I bricked my phone but it's ok. Hopefully you can get into recovery mode also which is vol up, power and home.

Nice job on the working phone! I reccomend flashing the ULK kernel. It basically includes anything ever whipped up kernel-wise. Also, I think you'ld like Doc's V9 Jpa and to top it all off flash the Jk3 modem(unless you live EX-USA. then flash JPP). These are all CWM flashable so no more Odin hassle.

I just got this tab and like every other android i get I rooted it. I used superoneclick -- worked fine. then downloaded cwm and flashed the recovery. of course when i went into recovery it was 3e so i couldnt actually use cwr without the bypass fix. Anyway -- i used some recovery fix -- which i think was for a vibrant -- wasn't thinking. Once it rebooted into recovery it showed some yellow letters then went blank. The computer still recognizes it but the tab won't boot. i can reset it by turning it off and on but it only shows tmobile splash and the yellow letters scrolling in recovery then goes blank again. please help. i've been reading everything but no one seems to have had this problem.
thank you very much

is that really my best option??
i figured there would be some manual way to reflash the recovery or maybe complete firmware with a recovery built in. it will still go into download mode -- like i said the computer still recognizes it but I just don't know where to start. ive never used odin and not a pro at adb/sdk but i can usually follow directions pretty well. i've rooted g1's, mytouch 3g fenders slides, inspires, atrix, vibrant, captivates so i'm not giving up yet. i know someone is willing to help.
from the off position, when you press and hold volume down then a moment later without letting up from volume down also hold power button until lights turn on, what does it do?
download all below zips, and unzip them
run it usb driver. say yes to everything. plug in tab to computer in download mode. let it install tab drivers
unplug tab.
open odin
Watch the first box on the left. ID:COM
plug in tab to comp in download mode.
That box should light up yellow, that means your tab in connected and ready to go.
place unzipped stock rom in PDA.
Press Start.
When done it should say all threads completed, and your tab should restart on its own.
Let it boot, and welcome back to stock Tmobile
uploads are taking a bit, be patient.
Do you want stock 2.2, or 2.3?
yes -- it goes into download mode
sounds promising -- thank you -- i will keep you updated on the progress.
prefer 2.2 where it was.
thanks so much
REMOVED!!!!!
here is dropbox of everything you need. It is a stock firmware, no root.
once we get you back up and running, we will go from there.

thanks so much.
can someone help me with the same issue. I am getting no boot on this tablet. I have tried the volume button and power with no luck. Can someone send me a link for the stock sprint restore.

Which did you go with? 2.2 or 2.3.3?
Let me know what your tab currently says in settings, about device.
Hold down the back arrow, and while still holding a second later, press you powerbutton. Let go.
Shoulda taken a screen shot. Uoload it here or just write it down.
I can guide you from there.

ok download stock rom froyo and not Gingerbread
where can i find froyo version?
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
follow the link for more details.

Thanks for your quick replies
So, I wanted to flash that, using ODIN:
Recovery ClockworkMod Odin flashable.Tar
But on XDA, the link about it is in fact Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip.
Did I miss something??
The file I could find using google was about 8Mo and the flash was quite fast.
(I used it for the PDA part)

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.
Now you have your device Rooted, Install Mobile Odin Pro n update your device to any new ROM with Mobile Odin

using the file for KKA, but then, next flashing, the yellow triangle...
I'm working right now but I can repost here in a few hours the exact name of the file I have found using google that I could not find over here.
Anyway, do you think I can "repair" it without any JIG USB?
And yes, it was on a custom rom (the phone is just new, only a few hours in my hands ) but it's not my first one (i could flash a HD2 and the Samsung Tablet with no problems...

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
Edit : here is guide how to reset binaru count, n remove yellow triangle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
-------------------
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
Hmmmm then I will have to wait for a JIG. I will order a JIG, it seems the price is not so expensive.
Thanks again for your comments and help, much appreciated

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

The main problem is that, too.
I can not enter Recovery, I got the yellow triangle.
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 !.
Hello!
I know that I should have done a lot more research before jumping in but here is what happened. I have also looked everywhere in the captivate forums with no luck. I upgraded to stock Gingerbread from Froyo a while back, yesterday I decided that I wanted to root, which I accomplished with Odin. The rooting went just fine, after that I wanted to flash ICS Slim onto my phone, which I soon realized I needed clockworkmod recovery for. After research found out that it doesn't work using ROM manager so I followed a guide to install it and here is where things went sour, following the guide I installed Hardcore’s SpeedMod Kernel it rebooted and it started normally, passing the AT&T bootscreen but now I am completely stuck on the screen after saying "GALAXY S SGH-l897" and on bottom "SAMSUNG". I am able to access the downloading screen and I just do not want to do anymore damage than I have already.
TL;DR: I'm stuck on boot after installing Hardcore's speedmod kernal, able to get on download screen, don't want to do anymore damage. Long story short, what can I do to repair my phone to a usable state?
Google "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to Samsung Captivate" 3rd link down to see the guide that I used.
Thank you for taking the time to help!
I think hardcore speed mod kernel is for froyo/eclair that's why you're boot looping, but clockwork mod should work. Try using the three button combo to get into recovery and flash whatever captivate ICS ROM you chose, assuming you have the file in your internal SD.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't have any ROM on my internal at all, is there a way to flash a ROM from odin or another software? Or do I have to use the clockworkmod recovery to flash it on?
You can mount USB storage from recovery, so transfer the ROM to your sd card that way

Try reinstalling samsung drivers to get your phone recognized. Since you're on 2.3.5 already, Kies will not let you re-download because it assumes you're on the latest firmware already. Use the Odin one click package. Or heimdall one click.
Don't rush. If you're still unsure keep searching. Read thoroughly so errors won't happen

No wiping will not help you lol. Its better to flash back to 2.3.5 and start fresh.

I've got the same problem with my phone, but I arrived there thru different means.. I used an app called Kernel Manager Light, and believe I tried flashing something called like Fastloader, or Fast boot loader.. something.. anyways, looked good for a minute, while it flashed it, then rebooted my phone & since then, it doesn't load past a screen that reads "GALAXY S" then smaller and below it "SGH-I897".. then across the bottom, "SAMSUNG".. Totally stuck there, for DAYS. I've been reading these forums for what seems like ever, and this is the closest scenario I've found to my own situation.
I can't get my phone into download mode no matter what I do. I can't get into it thru ADB. All I get is that screen.
In ADB, when I type C:/ADB devices, it will sometimes recognize my device (tho more often than not it won't) and even whwn it does, as soon as I try to access my phone thru ADB, it just freezes up too.. I hit enter, and the cursor drops down to the next line, but nothing ever happens from there.
Someone please help..?

!!! HELP !!! I'm very wet behind the ears when it comes to this!!! HENSE my username. this started after connecting my cap. to a pc with intentions of exporting some pics. that initial (1st) and Only pc notification about detecting a usb device, my cousin sitting down at the monitor clicked outside the bubble message. Now from this point on which was several attempts i would get could recognize device msg. I did not know this was gonna be the results, i can actually remember noticable gliches and flaws progressively worse and worse. icons looking like they had a bulb burning out, awful lag in dialer and or any commands. I know now after reading similar posts my attempts to back-up,recover, i did several restore sessions,wiped data & system in a last ditch effort to get my phone back! i was on the road out of my state. not a comforting situation. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP! I'M LEARNING AS I CRAWL ALONG HERE, WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH ALOT OF THE LINGO! symbols , abbreviations , etc:crying:
Ur post is confusing...
What firmware are u on -- Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread ??
Did u get ur pics copied off of the phone and to the pc. Under the Settings in ur phone is a USB connection setting to select for when u want to transfer stuff to ur pc.
If ur phone is still jacked up from the multiple backup and restores u did, then u may just have to do a Factory Reset from the Settings menu to get things back to normal...but do understand that that means all ur pics and other stuff will get erased, etc.
If the Factory Reset doesn't work, then I would say get into download mode and flash a Stock firmware (GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4 being the latest official) and then proceed forward from there however u want.

Hi, I own a SGS gt-i9000, and i rooted it with Z4root. I'm trying to update my android to the jellybean 4.1, with absolutely no success, this is due to my lack of experience with the android OS and clockwork mod and so on. I tried everything i could, nothing seems to work, first because the CWM doesn't work for GT-I9000 for some stupid reason, and second because, as I already said, i am a giant noob on this OS.
What I'm asking for is a simple way to upgrade to jellybean 4.1 OS that even a bloody rock can understand, sorry for the expression, but i'm really mad right now. My phone specs are:
firmware version: 2.2
I9000BUJP5
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
FROYO.BUJP7
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have already read threads about doing the same but i failed to understand every thing.

What I'm asking for is a simple way to upgrade to jellybean 4.1 OS that even a bloody rock can understand, sorry for the expression, but i'm really mad right now. My phone specs are:
firmware version: 2.2
I9000BUJP5
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
FROYO.BUJP7
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have already read threads about doing the same but i failed to understand every thing.

Hey,
First times can be frustrating! Seriously, I got really mad when I was trying to put CM9 on my phone.
Easy steps? I'll try make it as simple as I can.
First, make sure you have your desired ROM on your internal SD, and Gapps (Google Apps) if you need to.
1.) Put your phone on 2.3.6 XXJW4 firmware using Odin. This is done so you have the right recovery- maybe explaining why CWM didn't work for you on Froyo. If you need help with this, feel free to ask
2.) Using Odin again, flash in CF-Root. You can find this somewhere in the Development forums for the I9000. I'll see if I can post links later. And again, if you need help, don't hesitate to ask
EDIT: Here you go make sure you find the right one... It should have XX and JW4 in the name.

3.) Reboot into CWM recovery using the three button combo (Vol Up, Home, Power). From here, using the volume buttons to scroll and the home button to select, go Wipe Data and Wipe Cache. They're both on the main screen so you'll see them instantly.
Then go into the "Advanced" menu and click Wipe Dalvik cache.
4.) Now go back to the main menu, and select "Install zip from SD." Navigate to where you left your ROM. It'll ask you to confirm. Select Yes.
5.) Wait for it to flash in. It'll probably be really quick.
6.) You might end up in a bootloop. DON'T PANIC. YOU HAVEN'T BRICKED YOUR PHONE. Simply take out the battery from the back, put it back in, go back into recovery. Flash in the same ROM again, from the same place using the method in step 4.
7.) Wait for the rom to actually flash in this time.
8.) Done! It'll say its finished.
(Optional step for Google Apps: if they're not included in the ROM, you have to flash them in seperately. Once you finish step 7, wait for the phone to reboot. Then turn it off, go back into recovery and this time select the Gapps zip from your SD).
Hope I made it easy- if you have any questions, please, feel free to ask me either here or by PM

Hey, thanks for the help, i just installed the xxjw4, and the phone starts but it doesn't go anywhere, it just keeps on showing the "S" logo glowing, then reboots and does the same thing over and over. What is it that's missing here??
Thanks in advance.

Hey again,
Hmm, okay, see if you can find a file on these forums called dbsdata.rfs.tar. Try flash through Odin.
I think this is the file you're missing here- but I'm not sure about this...
