Long shot but read this
not found any responses. Here is my situation:
*My computer recognizes the phone *ODIN recognizes the phone *the phone is in download mode *ODIN gets stuck *I have tried multiple times, but it continuously gets stuck at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! *The max I have waited is around 30ish minutes *3 button combo works on my phone *I have tried non-one click ODIN to JH2 and it freezes on modem.bin
I have used ODIN before, and I have no idea why this is not working. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Try rebooting your computer. Then try again if same issue then
Also maybe redownload the rom software in case of corruption
I am not sure of this but at this point might as well throw that in.

[Q] While flashing stock via odin screen gets blue/purple

Hey there,
Got my moms Galaxy over here. Thing wasn't updated and slow as hell so I thought I'd update it. Went through the Kies process but that didn't really work, phone just couldn't make connection despite what ever driver I used (win or mac, got both here).
So first things went haywire when I read somewhere to flash recovery I needed to do something via Heimdall. Did that with the command window and afterwards the phone got stuck in a bootloop (only the I9000+samsung repeating over and over again).
Then I tried flashing GB from samfirmware, which failed. All done through odin, the screen went purple at dbdata.rfs. So I went with stock froyo, from the androidworld.nl forums and same thing happens but now it's a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs.
What am I doing wrong?

Try flashing again via Odin and this time don't touch your pc while it is flashing. That yellow purple screen has happened to me while I was doing other things while flashing was going on in the background.
And check if your phone is i9000 or i9000+ and flash the their respective firmware .

Same thing, didn't do anything and screen went gray. This is so random for me, as flashing is SO easy with my own Desire but this thing is on a whole different level.

Try changing your Odin version to 1.82 and try again.

Actually did both already! The 1.3 was from the 2.2 pack from the Dutch forum. Got 1.82 from the samfirmware website. No luck yet
1.82 shows a bootloader function, do I need to have one of those files with it?

Since the screwup started with Heimdall, might fix it with that?

Watch a YouTube video and see if you're doing everything properly.
What I do is
1. Go to download mode
2. Open Odin, select pit, PDA, phone, CSC files. And remember to check the re partition option
3. Connect your phone
4. Click start.

Hm, no. It's a replacement cable (cheap) which I used for my Desire, no problem with that at all. Though it might be it indeed! Will be two days before I can get the original cable.
In the meanwhile I got CWM-based Recovery v.5.0.2.6 working.. while installing cyanogenmod it goes "checking blm status", then "install from sd complete".. a bit strange and it doesn't boot into the rom but into the recovery.

Switching back to the original cable fixed the problem for me. Hope it does for you as well, try that and tell us what happened!.

Can I still use Odin then, now with CWM recovery?

You can use Mobile Odin by Chainfire (look for it in the market), it works exactly as an Odin built-in your SGS with no need for PC.

Guys, thanks for the cable advice! Could get my hands on a SE cable and flashed 2.3.5 stock through Odin. Happy that I didn't wreck my moms phone :')

[Q] Help: Flashed the bootloader of my Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with the wrong binary

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000. Using Odin3 v3.04 I (accidently) flashed the Bootloader with the wrong binary. With the Auto-Reboot option selected on the Odin3, the device turned off and is not turning on again.
Before flashing, my Tab had the official Samsung GB 2.3.3 (P1000JPJPC if I am not mistaken).
Some threads suggest that I charge the Tab using the wall charger for 4 hours, and see if the battery icon appears on the screen or not, then connect the tab to the PC. I did that. I connected the Tab to the wall charger overnight. Nothing appeared on the screen. Then the next morning I connected the Tab to the PC, nothing happened. The PC does not recognize that there is anything connected on its USB port.
The Tab is not turning on. I've tried to press (and long press) almost every combination of the Tab's keys I could think of, but the Tab just won't turn on.
I guess I hardbricked my device (as explained in this thread)
I don't think I'll be able to apply the Unbrickable process explained here.
Having said that, my question is: Is there anything else I can do at home to revive my Tab, or do I need to send it to Samsung repair center?
-Adel

I think you brick it.

If you've completely killed your tab, what can be done to fix it. I have a similar problem with my tab in that it gets to the screen that says samsung galaxy tab and then stops there. I have been searching the net and have rooted the tab and then tried to flash firmware but i am struggling to get the tab to read the ext sd card with the firmware on it.I don't really know my way around this type f thing but have to figure it out because I can't afford to take it in to be repaired right now. Advise will be appreciated.

Your problem is different from OP.
Can you boot to download mode? Can you boot to recovery, if so which recovery (stock or cwm).
Ave you tried Overcome method , as in my signature?

Hi Priyana,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, as far I could tell from reading up on it, I would guess mine is not bricked.
I can boot to download mode and to recovery - cwm (v3.0.0.5). I have tried downloading Overcome and anything else I thought might work but this is where I get stuck. I've wiped the cache and other things like that described on the net and on videos (actually this is what got me into this in the first place). When I copy a .zip file onto the external sd card and put it in the tab, I can't install the zip from the sd card because it can't find the directory I made. I'll have a look in your signature and see what I can find there but any guidance would be much appreciated.

Komplotter,
Yeah, I am not sure about cwm 3.0 accessing external SD.
Try using overcome restock, jump to page 7 PDF.
Flash stock, then overcome kernel.
That gives cwm 5.0

Hi,
I managed to get CWM 5.5.0.4 and get ICS installed in my tab by using two files (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS and P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ). I would still like to use Overcome and I have had a brief look at the installation guide. I'll have a more thorough look and then give it a shot. I see that there is a version 4.1.0. Would I use that in that same way as the 4.0.0 ROM, because the Overcome7_ROMv4_Wipe file won't extract (there seems to be a problem with it and I've downloaded it twice).

You don't need the overcome ROM.
Just GB stock safe and overcome kernel.

i managed to make it jvu.. then went to make it jw4
now i can't even enter download mode.. screen stopped working or wtf..

Take out the battery for 1min.

Try removing the battery and then try the 3 button combo to enter download mode. I thing Odin failed because when you tried to install F4 it changed partitions and when you wanted to downgrade to jw4 you did not repartition with 512 pit.
When you enter download mode remember to install the 3 file stock rom with 512 pit and repartition checked.
After installing the stock rom before proceeding with jellybean remember to backup your efs folder ( you can search xda dev how to do that)
I strongly recommend going with Cyanogenmod 10 stable. Its very fast and with the latest semaphore kernel runs like a beast.

i think i did a serious damage on the phone. If it gets fixed i will try cm10.. right now.. nothing :/

I think Odin crashed my phone
because i changed 3-4 custom roms in some hours..
i saw some threads about how to put it back in recovery mode but nothing..

I think your battery died in the middle of the flashing process. When you charge the battery does it show the battery indicator charging ?

nothing at all..

Then basically your battery died in the middle of flashing process, you can try with another full battery and try to enter download mode by using the 3 button combo. If it does not it means you have to use a USB jig to access download mode. Once you access download mode remember to have a fully charged battery before flashing

Possibly not, you have to try with a fully charged battery before flashing anyway. I think if you touch the phone while on power and the battery is warm maybe is charging. If there is no sign of life or there is no heat at all maybe is not charging. You still have to try to enter download mode with a fully charged battery, keep trying.

You have to try the dowload mode using an USB jig.

You can't broke this mode by flashing your phone, if an USB Jig don't work, you really have an hardware problem.

my pc makes sounds when i connect the phone.. then the sound that it got dc'ed
i don't think i will find a jig here.. nor i can make one.
i will give it to samsung service center and pay them..

[Q] Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE P7320 brick during root - HOWTO recover ?

Dear all,
I need your advise / help.
Friend of my asking me for help to recovery his Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, he tell me that, during his root process, he brick his Tab 8.9. Now the tab is showing Black all time. I taken a look, and connected to Data USB cable, connect it to PC.
This WIN7 OS direct the tab and install USB driver. When I push on/off button, the tab seems reboot itself into loop. But the screen not showning anything at all.
I put it into Samsung charger ( not USB to PC). But it does not shown the Big icon of battery. But I know it is live. As the PC response with installing USB driver. But the USB drive was pickup wrongly, as some kind of USB reader. NOT the Tab 8.9.
What is the best way to recovery this tab 8.9 to factory ROM ? I did downloaded lastest P7320ZHLP8_P7320ZZHLP8_P7320ZHLP2_CL1174893_user_l ow_HOME.tar from sammobile.com and have ODIN 1.85 ready. I just need to find a way to get this tab into download MODE.
Can you help and advise.
many thanks

If Odin recognizes the device flash the stock tar. The yellow com port will show up in Odin if it recognizes it.

Yes, I did tried ODIN, but it does not flag up yellow com port, as it needs to be in download mode in order for ODIN to connect the tab.

It sounds like you're hard bricked. If it's still in warranty Samsung should fix it. If its not look for a jtag service for the tab.

Use Odin to flash the stock rom. You can get the rom at sammobile.com. you'll have to sign up but it's free. You can extract the tar.md5 file out of the zip file using 7-zip. Flash the md5 file.
