[Q] Can't flash JV1

Odin gets stuck when trying to flash JV1....
Gladly I can still use download mode so I'm able to restore my galaxy s....
But I really want to install gingerbread... any ideas on how to install it?
I uploaded an image of the part where the flashing gets stuck... in the image iim using pit 512 but I have also tried with 803 and I get the same result... after odin fails I can disconnect my galaxy s... and boot into download mode again

Have you tried to download odin 1.3 maybe this one is corrupted. Try to restart pc, run odin, put all files, connect the device.

And it didn't work either =/

I was also stuck and i flashed darky's odin rom. Than i have flashed stock gingerbread, flashed 2.2 speedmod kernel and finally i have flashed ultibread via cwm.......so try flashing other rom

Sadly that didn't work either... D:
I'm downloading the JV1 rom directly from samfirmware and if ir doesn't work again I'll try flashing from another computer =)

Well now that JVK has been released I tried flashing that too...
And I can't
It's really weird the bootloaders just don't seem to want to get into my phone x3
I tried using odin and heimdall using the version with the safe bootloaders and it never flashed completely.
Gladly my phone hasn't been bricked... maybe it's because odin and heimdall don't ever get close to flashing the bootloader?
Anyway... I have a mexican galaxy s... I think the name of the model is I9000T
Can someone help?

[Q] Bricked device caused by broken TWLauncher

G'evening guys,
got a little bit of a problem here. My (european) Samsung Galaxy S is screwed. As soon as I boot it up, it loads a custom flashed TWLauncher which immediatly crashes. I can click the message away, but then after a few vibrations it will crash again. I can put it in Kies Mode, but I can't get Kies on Win to start some kind of recovery.
If I try to get into the bootloader, I'm only gonna see the default Samsung bootloader. I tried to push an update.zip on the phone, but it would not install due to some kind of signature errors.
Story first:
1. Rooted it with Superoneclick v1.4
2. Installed Recovery Manager. Not sure if some kind of recovery has been installed, at least none permanent.
3. Updated TWLauncher with SGS Tools in Flash
4. Did a factory wipe
I already tried loading a custom firmware via Update.zip and searched for an official update.zip, but didn't found one.
Also tried to push an older TWLauncher via adb, but this failed as I couldn't use su.
So, does anybody have a clue on how to solve this? Or will the only way to fix it be a send-in to Samsung?

LOL!!!
bricked just because of TWLauncher......
I think that is not brick.....

sry for my english
thx for your answer i have tried a few times to flash my sgs with odin but it didnt work . i have started my sgs into the downloding mode and then i start odin to flash and then it does nothing

did you use a guide for flashing through odin? is your phone drivers installed on your computer? what kind of error?

Alright buddy, I agree sounds like you need to reflash a new rom.
Check out this link. By no means am I ordering you to flash darky's rom (even though it is bloody brilliant) It's a good guide for using odin.
If you follow it down to part 2 of the guide then you will have a basically stock Gingerbread with a few tweaks to make it a better experience.
Be sure to read it carefully as some of it isn't necessarily for you.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...g-rc6-need-to-flash-dark_core_2-2-first.2382/
All credits go to darky, ficeto and ceriko obviously for the rom & guide.
Good luck

It's only a BRICK if the device is completely unrecoverable. This isn't even a soft-brick... the launcher just crashed.
Flash a new rom with ODIN;
or Flash a Kernel with CWM recovery via ODIN, and then boot into recovery.
Odin will work; just make sure you've got the drivers installed.

@kilokilo1066
thx this was a good idea but now i have the problem that odin is standing on set Partition and that over one hour what should i do ?? cancel odin and tried again ?

Thanks for your help my sgs is working again the thread can be closed

You made it sound as if your phone was bricked! lol
I'd recommend you to install the Darky ROM 9.5.
I myself am a totally new Android and Galaxy S user. The first thing I did after unboxing my phone was to flash Darky's 9.5 on it. Its brilliant.
Here's the guide.
EDIT: Turns out I'm not allowed to post links. Well use google!

Glad your sgs is back up and running buddy

Like what everyone els is saying, a reflash is the way to go. Id recomend flashing with EZbase. they offer the best stocklike roms.

did you use CWM from Rom Manager?
This is NOT optimized for the SGT.. nor is it encouraged.
Anyhow, have you tried to check if your computer can detect your tab, through Kies or Odin?

Kies says connecting but doesn't ever connect
Odin3 says 0:[COM6]
so what can I do?

what you can do , is go grab the stock gingerbread and flash it via odin and then take the root file and u'll have both gingerbread and also the cwm ...
follow chainfire steps and u'll do it in 4mins

You the dude
Sent From (I'm In Luv With My Tab)

similar problem....also stuck on boot
but I got there a different way. (FIXED)
Let me start off by saying I am stupid I have a tmobile tab and it was running awesome on overcome 2.0.0 rc1 with ext4 conversion and OC kernel and then I saw the honeycomb alpha had been released for cdma, which of course I dont have (gsm), and decided to try the rom with the oc gsm kernel, which didnt work.
then I dun goofed. Instead of going back to overcome in cwm, I flashed the damn experimental honeycomb package again, kernel and all and then loaded the tab.....dumb...weird colors and then nothing....screen just goes black and no matter what I cannot see cwm screen. And now odin no longer recognizes the tab.
heimdall works and I flashed back kernal from :[OC/UV][7th Jun][Kernel] koxudaxi kernel [GSM][2.2&2.3][KernelPatch]
which gives me cwm, but it keeps giving me an error that i cant mount sd card
I have tried flashing the safe gingerbread stock with pit file (still stuck on boot logo)
then tried flashing rotostock tmobile rom ( but no pit file and when it boots it still shows the gingerbread bootlogo)....do i flash with P1_add_hidden.pit added?
Any and all help will be much appreciated. please don't be too mean. I know i shouldn't have done what i did
[UPDATE]
So I figured it out. I reinstalled samsung usb driver from within odin folder, and odin suddenly started working. went back to stock GB and then on to Overcome 2.0.0 Gold w/ ext4 and oc'd to 1.4
I had to reinstall the hiemdall driver too after reinstalling samsung driver, but now they both work again....... so stoked

Flashing in Odin always fail - no recovery

So I know I am not perfect at this, but I also am not new at it. I have reached an impass and am reaching out to the vast experience that is XDA. I was running on GB just fine and decided to flash a new kernel through SGS kernel flasher, bootloop, couldn't for the life of me get into recovery. So when I got home I tried to flash a new kernel through Odin, fail. Anything else I try to flash now fails. I don't know what to do or try, I can still get into dl mode, but definetly not recovery or even boot up now.
Please help as I don't think samsung will fix it as it is.

Try flashing with EZbase. Its a preconfigured set of files for flashing in EZodin. Meant specifically for recovery

It is still failing to flash even through EZBase. Usually as soon as Firmware update starts it says Complete(write) operation fail.

Have you tried flashing with sd and sim removed?

Still nothing but fail

Maybe try an older or newer version of Odin depending on what version your using, or try Heimdall. And try re-downloading all the files including odin, they maybe corrupt?And lastly try reinstalling the USB drivers. Hope something there works

agreed! best advice.
Leave battery out for 5-10 mins, redownload files as suggested, install on pc, odin 3.1 shouldn't present you with any problems so try that.
If you're getting into dl mode you WILL be able to flash.

Ok i have been trying odin 1.7 and ezbase maybe i will get odin 3.1
Edit: whoa where can i find odin3.1

Odin failure may suggest a faulty USB port or USB cable,try using a different port to flash n if that does not work a different cable.. and it's also a possibility that the downloaded rom may be corrupted so download a new clean stock rom from SamFirmware.com ..hope this solves your issue!!

Sorry i meant that i tried ezodin and still it failed to flash.

So update time. I tried to flash jg8 jpu and jh2 all no luck. I even tried to flash just a bootloader and it failed as well. I really dont know anymore.

did you check the green confirmation screen in Odin and/or ezflash? if there is not confirmation that the application has found your device at the appropriate com port the flash won't work

I would ignore ezbase and flash jm9. If you have tried to change kernel with lagfix on, then you will need jm9. I recommend odin 1.7.
I have been in some sorry states with my phone, jm9 has always resolved any problem, even when ezbase has failed.

Really, are you kidding me? Do you not see my signature? Don't you think maybe I have done this a FEW times? I don't mean to be harsh, but seriously! That would be like saying make sure your computer is on before you try and flash. Make sure you take you pants down to have a sh*t. WOW! I am just a little tense and on edge right now so stupid comments are really not too appreciated. Plus it wouldn't even run if Odin didn't see your device. OMG!
UPDATE: Nothing was working so it is back to the store to have a look, fingers crossed they don't claim water damage or voided warranty for other reasons and want to charge me out the ass to fix it. Gotta love loaner phones, it's like being in the stone age.

[Q] How to install CWM recovery of Captivate?

I have tried to flash speedmod kernel and use CWM from there but when i try to flash a rom it doesnt work and when i try to reboot it gets stuck at the boot animation. is there a way you can install CWM recovery that actually works? also if you can find an app like SGS kernel flasher except that flashes roms instead? i have tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM but all that happens is it says successfully flashed CWM recovery then when i boot into recovery it goes into android recovery 3e.
Rooted Samsung Captivate i897

use one click back to stock
Hello, what I do every time im stuck is go back to stock KK4 using one click odin.
from there then I use Odin 1.85 to flash Korn kernel.
Korn kernel include cwm, from there you can install other Roms or kernels, or just root.
regards.

Would help to know what is your goal (flash rom, kernel, modem or simply having cwm recovery). There is a well written guide in the Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350266
But Zestar pretty much explained it. You'll need Odin 1.85 (which you will find in the guide) and a custom kernel (doesn't matter much which one as long as it supports cwm recovery). You have a lot of reading to do before jumping into this and I highly suggest it! I also bricked once outta being hasty, won't happen again
