After taking a quick peek at the video, I noticed you already had the phone connected when you opened Odin. I'm guessing you've probably already tried this to get Odin to see the phone, but in case you haven't, restart the computer with the phone disconnected. Put the phone in download mode with the Jig, but don't connect it. Start up Odin, and then connect the phone.
That may also tie into the issues you're having with Heimdall. I can't guarantee it, but it's at least worth a shot if you haven't done that already.
Also, try unhooking all other USB devices from the computer. It may not matter, but having fewer USB things for the controller to look at may make a difference. And, as always, try different ports, rebooting if necessary.
thanks i from a port thats works better but now it says my partition is wrong who do i fix it

Sorry, but could you clarify a little bit where you're receiving the partition error message? Is your phone, Odin, Heimdall, or something else giving you that message? When is the message occurring? What is the exact message?
On a side note, in another thread, someone mentioned that the drivers for Heimdall and Odin seem to be mutually exclusive. If you want to use one or the other, it sounds like you'll have to uninstall the one you're not using.
it was heimdall one-click and im just trying to flash 2.3.4 and it says partition error

Ok. What you may want to try is to go here and download the full Heimdall 1.3.0 package. Since it looks like Heimdall is working to communicate with your phone, my guess is that you'll need to use the Heimdall front end and tell it to repartition your device (or whatever heimdall's equivalent of that is). Once you have that, you'll need to find a package that works with Heimdall to put UCKH3 on your device.
That being said, I've also seen that Heimdall currently may be having some issue with doing repartitioning. If so, you may need to head back to Odin land (with drivers) and grab UCKF1 to flash, with the repartition checked in full Odin 1.x. I'm linking to that specific UCKF1 package because it's stock, and has no bootloaders to possibly cause further issues. You can try the one-click version first, and if that doesn't work, grab full Odin and the 3-file package.
I just wanna say i love you if finally downloading if i could tell me how to repay you you have maid me one of the happiest peoples every
Glad to hear it's working. I'm just happy to give back.
hi guys, I need your help, I have a lg optimus black, and installed the 2.3.4 version of the android official v20n, and did not like because I still had no way to root, so I wanted to return to the android 2.2, before returning did a factory reset, so that when the phone restarted he only stayed on the screen of lg, i removed the battery and put back, the phone rang often, but now, all life that I hang up and call him again he is on the screen of LG, then I have to remove the battery, wait a while, and there again put the phone connects normally, but I'm worried, because all this started after I did a factory reset, help me please.
Thanks in advance.
Now my phone does not pass the screen of lg or removing the battery, help me!
Well, it is very important to factory reset after you downgrade. Use search, everybody recommends it.

So do you get to the screens where it says software Update or so? If you get there, I would try to do the trick at another PC, since it doesnt seems to work on all operating systems. Mine e.g. with win XP wouldnt wanna do it once, but with Win 7 64 bit I was able to do it.
Can you give us a screen, where we can see ur screen when connected to USB while holding Vol UP button?
And not only HIT the vol UP button, but hold it, until the software update screen comes up. Otherwise it wont get there
Man is and my windows 7 64 bit, I've tried all processes.

I can't even charge my phone! I tried to turn it on in reboot mode but it doesn't do anything. I even tried to turn on download mode and nothing. Not even the samsung logo shows up. Nothing! I'm desesperated, I don't know what to do now. I'm new in this forum, so I will be very very thankful if someone could help me on this. Please.

This actually happened to my phone. Is it a known fault? Is there a way to repair it without taking it to a service centre 30 miles away?
Your device wont turn on?
I wonder why?
Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that you have broken your device into pieces. Not literally but oh well u get the point.

If you're responding to me, I don't get your point. I haven't broken it into pieces, literally or otherwise. I haven't modified the OS in any way since I got it. I plugged it in to charge. It is meant to be able to charge.
You're ace is brick go to repair centre if you have the warranty just say you don't know how this happen, or buy a new phone...

i face that problem too, after i search the entire thread in this forum then i found this method. try this, maybe it can help :
- pull out your battery
- press the vol down+home+power n in the same time then pull in your battery (if you can't do it alone, ask somebody to help you pull in the battery)
- wait (n pray maybe ) until download mode appear
hope it can help you..:fingers-crossed:

Rather than making snide comments, we SHOULD be helping him.
Here, check this out it helped my friend when he bricked his SGA.

And remember, from now on use CWM Recovery, or if you want then use ODIN,

I'm at crossroads too. Getting error "A server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to the previous screen." when launching Market App. Also, Root Check Freezes - black screen.
How do I Remove files in [xbin] folder from Failed [Root] attempts?
Okay, first time [Rooting] , I recently rooted my kindle HD 7, and yesterday my SU is no longer in its folder and my system appears semi wiped. I say semi because i have a ' Google market apk' that doesn't work and a apex launcher which still works somehow now embedded in the factory settings. That's one issue, the other is well, I tried a number of things, factory reset, fastboot with firstaide32, and reroot, but and they dont disappear and now when i try to do shell commands to the xbin folder I get this error, " cannot copy or install files to /system/xbin folder is full on device". Im stumped. How do i wipe the xbin folder so i can root again? Im still fresh to the linux coding commands.
Thank you to anyone with some insight.:confused

if i cant root this thing again im probably going to just use my new nail gun on it and go buy a nexus. i really hate the stock rom.

How to make one
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
For me after weeks of searching believe I found the answer. When I first rooted my KFTT 7.2.3 it went smoothly. When it updated the same process wasn't working even though others on this site said it should. (Method used was Root with restore and Qemu Root) After receiving many ADB push errors and permission errors I decided to do a complete restore after reading a suggestion somewhere on the internet. I was hesitant to do this because I could not back up my app data and my Fruit Ninja high scores would be wiped, but I needed root to make my launcher wallpapers work. So I charged up my Kindle to 45% (40% required for restoring) and restored. Then I went to the rooting tool on my PC and presto not a single failed adb push in sight. All it needed was a little restore. Although RIP my poor hoghscores :crying:
its more about the effort-to-enjoyment ratio. i dont like the device enough to warrant the effort of getting it to work the way i want. it was free, so whatever i sell it for is free money to put towards a better device.
ive tried a restore and lost all my scrabble scores and games, but it did nothing for me. every pc in my house decided the kindle is now an unknown device, even when i install the adb drivers. ive tried deleting phantom installs, ive tried every tip in this forum, and nothing is working. thats why im giving up, its not for lack of trying or anything.
called amazon today, apparently theres a known bug theyre working on. 7.3.1 addresses some of them, but did not work for me. i was told another update is coming out within the next few weeks to fix all known bugs. they were very attentive and had me list all bugs im noticing, the first guy i talked to seemed happy to be dealing with someone who can spell usb, so he pumped me for info. i told him what drivers ive tried, how i switch to test mode, disable diver sig verification, etc...
the first call ended when i had to wait for 7.3.1 to dl and install by pressing sync. called back after the update didnt change anything and theyre replacing it. i'll have a new one in 2 days. you cant beat that kind of service imo. im gonna give the device a second chance simply because ive now seen how firmly theyre behind it, and because their customer service system is wonderfully painless.

got the new one today. came with 7.3.1. plugged it in, rooted it, it works great. i dont know wtf happened to the old one.
Greetings!
I've spent the past 5 or so hours trying to figure this out, and through much searching on various different forums, I'm entirely stumped. For starters, my 8.9 tablet (GT-7310, 16 GB Wi-Fi) has been on Honeycomb 3.0 since I've gotten it. Today, I had the bright idea of actually taking the plunge into an upgrade and join everyone else in the 4.0+ world. First, it prompted me to upgrade to 3.2 - this went quite smoothly, it was only a 20 MB or so download via Wi-Fi. It booted up, no problem. Then, it prompted me for a second upgrade, which was quite large, in the 300+ MB range. I downloaded this, rebooted, and now my Galaxy Tab won't progress beyond the boot screen. It was like this for hours. Tried a factory reset/cache wipe and I still have the same problem.
So, it appears that my tablet may have tricked me into assisting its suicide. What's more, I can't connect it to my PC because it won't recognize it, and the MTP USB driver always fails. For that problem I've tried everything from editing reg keys to renaming system files to test it (I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) Nothing. This thing is a brick, and I'm starting to have an epiphany that I may have made a grave mistake. Is this salvageable at all? All I wanted was to get this thing on at least ICS. Is it possible to somehow get the files needed on my tablet via flash drive and install it that way? Where would I go about getting such files needed?
I apologize for spilling all of this, but I guess its tough to swallow a fleeting $400 spent. I eagerly await any sort of response or help, thank you in advance!
If out boots at all it's salvageable. Not have the pc recognize it though could be a problem. Have you tired odin? See if odin will recognize it and if so flash the stock ics firmware. You can get it at sammobile.com. you'll download a zip file and extract the.tar.md5 file from it using 7-zip.

Well, I'm a bit relieved that Odin does in fact recognize the device, but every time I connect it, the device driver (MTP) won't successfully install, so Kies won't recognize it at all (though from what I gather on this forum, Kies is kind of an incompatible waste of time) I went to that site but couldn't find firmware for my model tablet (GT-P7310, United States) but found several for other countries. What steps do I take next?

It's not an AT&T device, it's a wireless tablet, from the first run of 8.9 tabs. It came stocked with Honeycomb 3.0 originally. The model number on the back of the device is GT-P310MA, FFC ID: A3LGTP7310.
Also, I gave Odin a go. While it recognized the device, it kept failing when I tried to use the PIT file.
This is the screen I've been stuck on for hours, the good news is that I can hold down left and power and go into that mode, but it doesn't do much of anything.

Nothing good comes with messing with a pit file. I'd download the UK stock firmware for the 7310 and flash that in PDA In Odin. Only have auto-reboot checked. Don't know for sure if it'll work and you're on your own on this.

I didn't mess with the pit file, only followed instructions based on a tutorial I found in the forum. It's in the same shape as it was before. I did your suggestion in Odin however, and this is what I'm working with:
I don't think my PC is reading the tablet properly, but really I have no idea.
Keep trying it. I've had to do it multiple times and for whatever reason it finally worked.

It may also help to try a different usb port, cable, or computer.
This one was a doozy, but I finally got it to work! I had more options within my tab than I thought I did, and what's more, I got to upgrade to ICS from Honeycomb. Just had to tweak a few settings in recovery mode. D'oh! Anyway, thanks to all of you, you had the right answers, there was clearly just an option I was overlooking myself!
