[Q] Need a little help

I soft bricked my Captivate flashing Mosiac over MIUI , finally managed to get it into download mode and ran Odin One Click 2.3.5 but it freezes at setup connection. I've done this multiple times with the same result....Any ideas???

Captivate connection issues help
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

Thanks b-eock but maybe you misunderstood my post. I'm in download mode and Odin recognizes my connection it just freezes at setup connection.

You may want to give a Heimdall-based option a try. Sometimes when Odin won't work, Heimdall will. Just remember to use the phone on the same port where you install the Heimdall drivers.

No I understood completely, that has everything you need...

Well, beock is most likely right with the connection issue. Sound like a bad cable.
Second, flashing from an aosp type ROM (which MIUI is), i would not recommend trying to flash bootloaders. It well usually cause a loop, as you found out. Your on the right track. Flash to stock, then any different Samsung ROM you wish.

Thanks b-eock and everyone else who tried to help. I pulled the battery and got the firmware upgrade failed screen and ran Odin from there. Gotta love the Captivate....just cant kill it.lol

smartflash not working, can't recover phone :(

Hi guys, my phone was rooted using the CWM clockwork recovery injected smartflash method. I figured out I am too hopeless, and easily frustrated to have a rooted phone. So I went to install the original firmware with smartflash, unfortinately it did not work and timed out and now I am stuck on the SW Upgrade screen. I have tried multiple times, and even tried the LG recovery tool and all of them time out eventually through the process. Can anyone please advice me how to proceed? I use firmware v20c new zealand

Try to reinstall the drivers and download the bin files again, smart flash is the way to go

First off, thanks for that video. It was one of the few easy to use resources to root!
I have tried reinstalled drivers, downloading it again and making another rom of it with rom creator both with and without CWM clockwork. At this point I just keep trying hoping it will work. It keeps :Timeout error is occured different periods each time.
Im getting very frustrated as I am seeming to make no progress and dont know why it isnt working.

You are frustrated to having a rooted phone? But why? Lot of benefits if you have rooted phone. About the time out, It happened to me before. It shows time out so what i did is gave my phone some time to rest. I went to bed go to sleep and when i woke up i used smartflash again and it works!

I enjoyed the better interface and such, but all the bugs and constant resets were getting on my nerves. I guess I am too used to the team iOS. Thanks for the words of encouragement, if it doesnt work tonight Ill try again tomorrow. Its getting quite nerve racking, can't seem to get it to work

The only other suggestion I have for you is try some other cable, good luck! =)
Have you replaced the smartflash with a fresh download?

Yes, use new cable
Just only Cable made my phone bricked and cost me RS. 3000

Touch Screen not working after ICS update

Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead

Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks

Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.

With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.

It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!

Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help

I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

Yea, noticed that too. I used the rom from Sammy but didn't have an issue. I wonder if they got the wrong tab version.
OP, can you post what rom you flashed? And do you have an i957?

Regretfully my tab is not under warranty, and I don't know what to try next? Do you have any ideas

In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.

Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.
Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr
Very frustrating.

Thank you man but this is not helping me cause I have to use Odin to flash them

Update! Tried to downgrade to 4.2.1 using CWM no results same problems,
Try to flash android 4.1.2 using CWM, no results same problem, what i still can do?

Sorry, I might have missed the part about Odin not recognising it.. Anyway, are you sure you installed the correct Samsung drivers? Try another PC and install the drivers and give Odin another shot. Also, try using another USB cable, it might help.

try charging battery outside of phone (like external charger). use mobile odin to flash stock rom.
edit: or just borrow if someone you know has same phone.

Used to have problem of odin not recognizing my phone. Then I switched to xp from windows 7 with same driver installed, no issue.
So could be driver issue if you're using windows 7.

^that. Since you're already rooted, get Mobile Odin from the Play Store and try and flash the stock ROM with it.

OK everything went smooth I was able to flash a new and a stock ROM but my battery problem is still there in 4 hours turned off I have 32% battery, idk what to say about this

Well, since you have a stock ROM now, I guess you could try and take the phone to the retailer (or service center) and have them check the USB port.. It could be a battery problem too. My phone was doing weird stuff when I was using an unbranded battery (it didn't want to recharge and it kept making connected/disconnected sound even though I was nowhere near the charger).

I had problems installing the Slim-n7000-4.3.build.1-OFFICIAL-874.
Installed from the 4.1.2 stock.
Once connected, the N7000 did not carry the battery.
Tested various cables and chargers, even doing full wipe again the problem continued.
Had tested the Slim-n7000-4.3.beta.4-WEEKLY-424 and this problem did not occur.
The only solution was charging the N7000 with it off and go back to stock rom.
I had no problems with the Slim-n7000-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL, Slim-n7000-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.

[Q] Can't restore...

I wanted to reinstall stock firmware just to start fresh, but for some reason, ODIN would never turn yellow. I used usb 2.0 cables, 3.0 cables, installed the usb drivers, and still no yellow. Then I tried Kies, and was just a pain in the ass, so then I tried Factory Reset. When I try this, every time it says "unfortunately settings has stopped". I have no way of restoring my phone. Can anyone help me out with this?

Follow this , it will downgrade you to the original ( ANCE ) firmware. Afterwards you can do the OTA to get back to the ( AND3 ) this worked for me. The only bad thing is that you will LOOSE EVERYTHING on your phone. Make sure to backup whatever you don't wanna loose.
I loaded all files except the BL at once to save time.

You tried restarting your computer?

I tried your suggestions and the only thing that really worked was the recovery mode suggestion, but it wasn't a complete refresh. It still had my set wallpaper, and My Magazine still says "application not installed", and Nokia Z launcher still tells me that my phone is rooted (tho it isn't).

I was going to restore my phone back to the ANCE firmware and pretty much start over so that I could get some of the system apps that I deleted, my problem is that my comp will recognize my phone while my phone is on, once I put it into download mode and plug it back into my comp it says "drivers not installed correctly" any thoughts on how to fix this. There is nothing wrong with the phone right now and I have done decided not to restore but would like to know how to fix this for future purposes.
Edit:
I got it fixed. I updated Kids and reinstalled drivers and all works now.
