[Q] Can't enter download mode after running Odin

Hello,
I verified that I am able to enter download mode by plugging in the USB cable while pressing both volume buttons with the device turned off. I also verified that I can enter recovery mode by pressing both volume buttons and the power button. So I am pretty sure that I know how to enter the modes.
I then ran the Odin version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 (by mistake, I didn't know it differed from the one in http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html). I assume that simply overrode everything with the stock ROM instead because I did not get the chance to select the SpeedMod kernel.
However, after that the hotkey method was no longer working. I was only able to enter download and recovery mode using adb. I used this to flash SpeedMod using the correct Odin version from the SpeedMod page.
Then I proceeded by going into recovery mode and extracting captivate-efsbackup.zip. I went into download mode (again with adb, keys still didn't work) and flashed cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar.
Now, however, I'm in real trouble. I can enter neither recovery nor download mode. No matter if I use hotkeys or adb, the system reboots, but then just shows the "Galaxy S\n cyanogen^(mod)" image.
Anyone able to help? Why aren't the hotkeys working anymore after running Odin?

I have no explanationas to why buy do have a suggestion. Try the AIO tool box. If the phone boots, just enable usb debugging and follow instructions. You should probably use the 3 button fix option.
I recently had done a clean up of my cappy because after tons of flashes it had become a mess. After flashing back to stock I lost dl mode and recovery. Whipped out the AIO...ver.2.5 , booted phone, put in debug.. Reformated with 3 button and boom!, back in business. Be sure your net framework is current 4 version, install the C++ lib as siggested.
Took a likely pain in the ass and turned it into an inconvenience. Just follow the instructions...

First of all, what model of Captivate do you have (the model number is underneath your battery, on the phone itself. It will be a number between 1006-1014).
And I hope you do realise that CM7 is a particularly difficult (than standard) ROM to flash, and if you don't know what you're doing (or miss a step), you can perma-brick your phone easily.
If you can't get into Download Mode by any means, then the only last suggestion I can give you is to try a USB Jig (search around in the Captivate Forum here, you'll see what I mean).

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is how I recovered:
Download SpeedMod Kernel
Create a nandroid backup on a working phone, copy that over to the broken one
Copy zImage from SpeedMod kernel to SD on broken phone with adb
Enter shell mode on phone
Look into misc/recovery.fstab to figure out the name of the sdcard block device
Mount sdcard with `mount [blockdev] /sdcard`
Flash zImage with `flash_image boot /sdcard/zImage`
Flash nandroid backups with `flash_image {system,cache,datadata} /sdcard/{system,cache,datadata}.img` (but not data)
Leave the phone without battery for at least 1 and at most 6 hours (my phone appeared completely dead after this operation, not even adb shell access, so I went to bed frustrated)
Now you can boot into download mode again using "adb reboot download" (which didn't work when running the CM7 kernel)
Use One Click Odin to revert to stock firmware
Install 3ButtonFix to get combos working again
Note that the original problem that caused all the trouble was that flashing the stock ROM with Odin One-Click disables the 3 Button combos. You have to use the 3ButtonFix to get it working again.

Nikratio please help me i was updating samsung galaxy 5 2.1 eclair to 2.2 froyo but when i was using odin then it stops working and i unplug the device the after that phone is not getting switched on and even not getting is recovery mode ... m very sad and even dnt have the backup of any phone and none of my frnd have android phones so that i have backup please help me bro m afraid of my mom too coz i just bought it few time back please hem me bro

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830D - Semi-bricked - Need Help!

Hey All,
So I'm in the process of helping a friend with his Galaxy Ace from Koodo. As it turns out the phone looks like it's semi-bricked but we may be mistaken all together so here goes:
My buddy tried using SuperOneClick to root his device however half way through the process, it froze and when he restarted his device, it hangs at the Samsung logo during the startup boot sequence.
1. When using a combination of UP Arrow + Home button + Power, he receives a message stating:
"RAMDUMP Mode
(ARM9 mode)"
In this mode he cannot do very much however his PC does recognize the device. Odin does not work in this mode.
2. When using a combination of DOWN arrow + Home button + Power, he received 2 different screens. The first is a bright pink colored screen that states:
"Warning!
A custom OS can cause critical problem in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press Volume UP key. Otherwise, press Volume DOWN key to cancel."
Pressing the down arrow brings him back to the frozen Samsung logo on startup however when pressing the UP arrow, the phone goes into "Downloading..." mode. In this mode, Odin DOES work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for the troubleshooting we've done. We managed to find a few articles online that asked us to use the Odin tool. We downloaded a few different sets of the files needs (Cooper.ops, CODE, MODEM, CSC & BOOT). Odin then detects the phone in 'Downloading..." mode and proceeds to installing the rom. It completes successfully however it does not reboot. The screen simply flashes with the Samsung logo again.
The original firmware build before the device stopped working ended with TLKI4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Can anyone suggest anything else we can try?
2. Do you know if the bootloader needs to be flashed first and if so, how?
Note: We can not take the device back to Koodo as it was purchased on Kijiji and no receipt was provided. It's the GT-S5830D.
Thanks in advance,

1- boot into recovery and try to wipe data and cache. u can enter recovery mode by pressing home+power.
2- it doesnt matter, u already flashed new bootloader by flashing the phone via odin.
btw does the "D" in "GT-S5830D" bring any different in hardware with international regular GT-S5830 that most of us here use?
if its different by somehow, u shouldnt flash generic international GT-S5830 rom into it. i know for sure that galaxy ace korean version cannot use generic rom from international galaxy ace.

yep there are some 5830D specific roms on sammobile.. try them instead of generic ace

Can you point me to a certain rom/boot loader to download from sammobile? I was there earlier this morning however I didn't see any mention of Canada anywhere and I left before I messed things up further.
Even if you could just tell me which one it is I have to download, I'll do the rest myself.
Thanks a bunch!

There is no option to wipe the device. In fact, I have had other Galaxy S models and I'm pretty familiar with the screen however the Ace does not load into that recovery. Either it goes to "Downloading.." or "RAMDUMP (Arm9 mode)".
Thanks

well seems like sammobile haven't got for 5830L
but not to worry alternative site has one specifically rare rom of "D"
download it from this link

he was talking about recovery menu which can be accessed pressing down home button while booting.. if device is in bootloop then try to wipe data from recovery first as that might help

Thanks buddy! I tried that exact ROM however it didn't seem to work either. I used the 'Coopers_V1.0.ops" file under the "OPS" option in Odin and the "S5830DTLKI4_S5830DTLSKI4_S5830DTLKI4_HOME.tar.md5" file under the "One Package" option. Like I said before, the flash went through in "Downloading..." mode, and Odin said "PASS" however, when it came time for the phone to reboot itself, the screen started flashing and did nothing new. Same Samsung logo appears and it seems to hang right there.
Also I dont think the device has a same recovery menu anymore because even though I hold down the Home + Power buttons, it does nothing. It simply flases the screen at the Samsung logo screen.
Any other tips for me to try? Thanks again!

wierd that u cannot enter recovery mode while u can enter download mode and successfully flash it using odin.
even if u messed up recovery when u first use superoneclick earlier, flashing via odin should also flash it with new fresh recovery. so how long did u hold the home+power? i'm asking just to be sure. maybe u not hold it long enough for recovery mode to kick in.

I held it down for more than a minute just to make sure. As soon as I put the battery back in and try and restart the phone, it goes into an infinite loop at the Samsung screen.
Even I find it odd that the phone will go into Downloading mode but not recovery.
Any other suggestions?

try to install qtadb (google for it). connect the phone with pc via usb, launch qtadb and boot the phone. qtadb should display some logcat. paste the logcat output here. maybe we might have a clue whats wrong by looking into the logcat
but even if phone still stuck, just wait a few moment. if qtadb had access to the phone system via its native filemanger, it means u can use adb. use adb to reboot phone into recovery

As far as I can tell QtADB isn't even detecting the phone. I have tried to complete the procedure over and over however no show. I may not have installed ADB correctly though so I'll give it a shot again a little later.
Thanks!

[Q] Messed it up and need help

This WAS the situation before the problems:
Rooted Gingerbread rom, all working fine. Decided to unroot and install the full version of the official German ICS rom by using PC Odin. All went fine and used my Note for over two days. Because of the lags en slow responses I decided to reflash the ICS rom. From that moment on I messed it up. I've been reading and searching hundreds of posts for almost a day but didn't find a solution.
This IS the current situation:
I can get into download mode
I can get in recovery mode
However, in recovery mode I can not install a rom, every flash (CWM, both ICS and GB - even using chainfire's rom needed for rooting) stops on a random moment...but never gets it to the end, even if I wait several hours. Installing is very...very....very slow.
In recovery mode i can not restore a Nandroid backup, both ICS and GB. Every backup stops when /system has te be installed. errormessage.
In download mode I can connect my Note to PC Odin. I can select a rom and start flashing. However, after appr. 80% installation halts during "nand write start", no error message. The flashing does not finish, even after hours.
Funny is, i can install a kernel like Abyss.
So, I can't restore, i can't flash using cwm in recovery and I can't flash using PC Odin. My device seems not fully bricked. The max I get when rebooting (knowing that the process has not finished) is the triangle screen.
Any advise is appreciated.

Do not flash thru CWM... Flash a good GB kernel like "franco.Kernel" but thru PC Odin then u can flash whatever u want from franco's CWM... Good luck

Don't need help anymore
Note is officially bricked. After several attempts to recover from a softbrick the screen of my Note didn't turn on anymore. No button or button combination works, no recovery and no download mode, just a black screen.

Flat battery? It's also possible that it's just the screen that's not working. Try entering download mode "blind". So hold power+home+vol down for ~10 seconds, then press vol up. Hook it up via usb and see if Odin can recognize it.

Thanks, didn't think of that. But unfortunately no response from the device.

So now that it looks like your phone is officially bricked, I think you should just take it to Samsung and make up a story. Like you were updating your software with Kies and something happened and the phone is just not booting up.
I am sorry you bricked your note though..

try AMORA Filemanager.. flash via recovery and you have a file manager,,, take a look on your partitions
just my idea, you got nothing to lose

I would like to but it's very hard when you can't see anything on the screen...

Maybe it's just the battery, try to charge it externally and try a JIG also
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA

Just a quick, final, update.
My Note was superbricked. Had to send it to a Samsung Service Center. No additional questions were asked. Samsung replaced the mainboard. Didn't have to pay anything.
Great service!!!

try this out buddy, do it on your own risk!!! anyways you have messed it up.

i was not a member when i commited this mistake. but then big thanks to this community it helped me back from softbrick.
first you do is install a stock kernel of ics on your note go into recovery and just clear cache partition, thats it no wipe/data factory reset.
then,
install the pit file from this thread, also read it completely before proceeding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1667886 , hoping yours is 16gb version and also read this thread for additional info but its quite complicated for me so im just telling you the direct method and hopefully itll get your note back to work. so once you download the 16gb pit file unzip it and in the unzip folder you will find a separately lying pit of 16gb stating patched-standard thats the one you want.
then,
goto samfirmware and download the latest ics firmware(i downloaded the indian one as it is in file .tar),
unzip it till you get .tar file.
open odin- click pit-select 16gb patched standard pit- check wether repartion is ticked- click pda-select the .tar file you extracted connect your phone and start. this time i wont stop at factory.fs.....
NOTE THAT AFTER THIS PROCEDURE IS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE WOULD BE ONLY 8GB INSTEAD OF 11 GB STOCK WHICH YOU WERE GETTING.
I REVIVED MY NOTE THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEES AT YOUR OWN RISK.
one your phone is working you'll be able to reset the counter with a jig and get your phone under warranty and get your motherboard changed by teliing at the Samsung Service that you are getting only 8gb instead of 11gb you used to get earlier(warranty only if you had any).
hope this helps mate.
BEST OF LUCK!!
A BIG HUGE THANKS TO hg42.....

[Q] is my i9000 bricked?

My i9000 respond to Downloading Mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) but it doesn't boot...the logo stay on and on until I decided to take off the battery.
Is there a foolproof method to recover my phone? It was locked to T-Mobile and has been unlocked to all networks and rooted - the ROM was Gingerbread 2.3 and working perfectly until I decided to "upgrade" to Jelly Bean...:silly:
I did backup the previous ROM via CWR but right now I can't access any partition...
Help!

Does ODIN recognize your phone when you're in download mode? If so, you should be able to flash gingerbread without losing all your data.

thanks for your reply....
Yes Odin recognize my phone and I've tried to update using "JW4" (these 3 letters represent the end of a ROM file which isn't Gingerbread - I've followed this tip from another thread) - Odin says PASS (green box) but when I try to reboot the phone get stuck in Recovery mode (3?) - there are some errors, related to Data and Cache which I believe need to be erased from previous install but still no luck...
I'll try to post a picture of the error messages (or maybe I just copy the text here). At least the booting gives some signals now - there is a logo loop while before there was no boot whatsoever - so, things seems to improve a bit.

solved!
I've solved the problem by installing dbdata.rfs:
hope this helps others....
in the end I got into troubles because I didn't wipe data and cache before flashing the new ROM.

First of all make sure you installed drivers in Samsung Kies. After, make sure to have working version of odin. Tried connecting the booting into download and see if it detects it?

Make sure your mini has gingerbread and samsung drivers installed on your pc/laptop.
Before you begin please make sure your battery has at least 70% of charge.
1. Download Odin Multidownloader v4.38 for GTS5570, Tass_v1.ops and Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.0.5(tass-recovery-cwm.tar) if you do not have them already. (Attachments)
2. Run Odin Multi downloader v4.38 and select the Tass_v1.ops by clicking OPS button.
3. Select One Package Option and Click One Package button and select the tass-recovery-cwm.tar file you downloaded.
Leave other settings to default (i.e. don’t change any other options/settings)
4. When you are done reboot your phone in download mode (Press Volume Down + Home + Power button to go to download mode)
5. Connect your phone in download mode to your computer via USB Cable.
6. When Odin detects your phone (If you see a com port number written in yellow background at the top left, then your phone is detected. View image.), click Start button.
7. Wait till Odin finishes the job (approx. 3-5 minutes) and when it reports ‘PASS’, you can disconnect your phone.
Go to the recovery mode (Press Home + Power button) and see your new recovery with tons of useful options. Now that you have CWM recovery you will be able to do just more than nandroid backups. You can also partition your sdcard as well as flash a custom rom on your galaxy pop. Go ahead and experiment with various options. But, be careful playing with your device’s recovery is very risky task if you lack appropriate information or skill.
