Cool video, definitely help new people learn how to use Odin.
one upped me huh?
my next post - will include a video on how to take over the world! MUUUUHAAHAHA
I Kid, but good job, maybe my inbox will slow down now.
Your last link is down. Thanks for the video, I am about to use Odin for the first time and this video has helped give me some confidence.
Thanks
is this in the sticky yet? it has 2 be its helpful to the noobs
Not to be a buzz kill or anything, because this was needed... And is very useful, but why isn't it posted in general and just linked in the bible?
This isn't about development.. Its a tutorial about a windows program..
It would get just as many views through there and be just as helpful and not clutter the dev forum..

I have only used Odin 1 time to flash JI2, have been very lucky not to soft brick with all the times i have flashed my vibrant. But I wish this was around before I had to use it, thanks for the video. Its not hard to use, but visually watching it always makes me feel better before I do anything for the first time.
Thank you sir
This is exactly what i was looking for.
I agree. If the mod could bump it that would be great. I plan on coming out with more videos in the future.
anyone have recommendations on how to do this if you dont have access to a windows computer?
oh geeez. just be thankful
Terriffic!
Thank you! Much mopre comforatble doing ot for the first time!
It does not work with me. I do everything right and all it shows is:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
Nothing more.
Do I need to have my sim card inside the phone or it does not matter?
Hmm, not sure what the problem is, could be a few things. Are you sure you have the correct PIT file? Make sure what you have downloaded is not corrupted at all. You can also try using a different usb port.
Very nice video .... I am a noob and this helped me a lot....
Thanks guys
Maybe the reason is because of the downgrade mode. Should I see something when the phone is in this mode because when I hold the vol up and power it just show the samsung logo nothing more.
I just followed all of these directions to the T and everything went fine, no errors in Odin or anything, and now my phone is stuck with a black screen and the buttons lit up. When I reboot the phone it goes through all of the startup screens just fine: Vibrant, T-Mobile w/ sound, and Galaxy S, then just blank screen.
I tried doing the Odin thing a few times and I'm stuck here - is my phone seriously bricked?
EDIT: I can reboot into Clockwork and stock recovery just fine.
Current Settings - I am rooted, I have ROM Manager, Super User Permissions, Root Explorer and a Custom Rom (Fusion).
Attempts - I have downloaded ODIN, install all the necessary drivers, have booted up Parallels and have have been able to mount my phone and view files on Parallels. I have opened up ODIN and it has recognized my phone when it is ON.
Dilemma - I have gone through the steps given to us by the nice ODIN video tutorial. However, once I access download mode on my phone my Parallels gives me a pop up that says it is unable to connect the device to the USB. I have tried this over and over about 30x, still I cannot get it to recognize the phone while in download mode.
*So, can someone provide me with a solution? Either via MAC or Parallels? I'd like to get my phone back original settings soon, thanks.
Probably a noob question but you can flash any rom with this program?

If it is an Odin ROM then yes, not the update.zip types.
Purchased two Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S as-is from local kijiji.
They all performing the same thing, rebooting at Galaxy S logo, GT-I9000M page, it won't go any further. and there is no recovery mode at start-up.
Here are the steps which I have played with for past two days.
1. Trying to get to recovery mode
- tried ADB, but it doesn't work, since "USB debug" is not on, and it won't accept as a device, and I am not able to turn that on, since I can't even get on the main screen.
- tried three key combo, vol up + home + power on, at least a hundred times for past two days, it doesn't work. fortunately download mode is working (at least I have more option to try). and I know how to get to recovery mode, I played with my friend's before.
2. Trying to use ODIN to flash the firmware
- unchecked "re-partition", unchecked "bootloader", pick 512 as PIT and then choose following as PDA
JH2, JK3, JK4, JL2
always successful on refresh, but phone still does the same, stuck at LOGO page
- also tried, checked "re-partition", and checked "bootloader", pick 512 as PIT and repacking following into PDA, Phone/Modem, CSC, still won't work...
JP series, JH, JK series, JL
At the beginning I though it was problem on CSC, I didn't use correct one to match my phone model #, but what's mine??? I can't go into my phone to check. I checked my friend's I9000, he used I9000BMCJK4, and I assume all JK series should work with me, since our IMEI are similar. And I tried many times on different cache.rft as CSC.tar, still no luck for me
I go crazy now, $400 USD gone. Seriously needing help. Any help is highly appreciated.
try the one jl2 download file and samsungfirmwares.com it flashes a special bootloader that may fix things.. it should be a single file you put in as pda nothing else..
if not they may have permantely trashed internal memory and you are sol.

I have tried one of JL2 file from somewhere (don't remember where), but I will get one JL2 file from samsungfirmwares.com again, see if that works.
Do you mean, only choose the file for PDA, left PIT empty, and get everything uncheck?
permantely trashed internal memory? are these the common problem with this model? I got two of these, and both of them have the same issue, I think, there should be a way to slove it, right? Should I give up these thoughts???
anyways, thanks anyways, I will report back after I flesh JL2 from samsungfirmwares.com
Ok, you need to flash jl2 with pda, repartition, pit file and the secondary boot loader... The SBL(secondary boot loader) is what will actually fix your phone
Hopefully it will work.

HELP! HELP! HELP!
any leads???
is "<ID:0/005> Sbl.bin" secondary boot loader???
I got the file for PDA, I9000UGJL2, is this the one? if not, where should I get it? how do I update it?
I did it again, with "re-partition" checked, PIT choosed as s1_odin_20100512.pit, I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar (which I just downloaded from samfirmware.com), it still doesn't work.
anything else I can try? maybe something simple I didn't do???
I too am a bell user I had the same problem a few weeks back. This is going to sound messed up, but i'm going to do my best to explain how I solved the problem.
DO NOT MULTI-TASK ON THE COMPUTER WHILE DOING THIS. CLOSE ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS.
-remove external sd and sim card
-go into download mode (hold vol down+power+home).
-turn on ODIN
-plug in usb (both computer and phone)
-check re-partition
-ONLY use the 512 pit file. DO NOT use a rom.
-start ODIN and it should only take a minute. this will wipe your device completely but still allow you to access download mode.
- remove usb close ODIN
- start up ODIN again and connect usb
- use 512 pit and JP1 or JP2 rom.
- After flashing, this SHOULD give you an error and send you straight into recovery mode. you're looking for a specific error code. you need the error to have "sl01" or "sl10" (whichever, i forgot which it was) at the end of the path. if the end of the path has "m(something)" then use a different rom till you get the "sl10".
these errors are internal sd errors which your phone is experiencing right now, but the phone is fixable from the "sl10" error.
continuing...
- once you get the "sl10" error, close ODIN, unplug USB, turn off phone.
- go back into download mode.
- boot up ODIN with 512 pit and ULG2 rom.
- plug in phone
- start flashing.
this can give you two outcomes:
1) fixed galaxy S
2) error code with "m(something)" at the end of the error path.
if it's #2 do this all over again until it works.
This took me 3 days to figure out these steps, 10 hours each day. although it doesnt seem to make sense, my phone is working right now and it is where I am writing all this from. My only explanation is that Bell gets ****ty product from samsung. it's almost impossible to flash custom roms on a bell galaxy i9000 because the internal SD seems to have trouble being mounted.
i hope this helps and i hope it doesnt take long for you to fix this problem.
btw, if it does get fixed data connection wont be available. to enable it go to your apn settings. create new named "Bell" with apn as "pda.bell.ca" and leave all other options blank. data should be restored after that.

great!!! Another option I can try. Thank you.
I will try it out right after my work. so the idea behind this, is bricking it into recovery mode and S10 error code. and then fresh right back with correct ULG2 (is this correct? frist time heard about this rom)
anyways, I will post back with result.
Where can i find this ULG2 rom?
did it work?

yes, lucky I got one of my Bell Samsung phone work. Since I done a million times of refreshing and rebooting and etc... I am not sure what I did, now I still trying to remember last 10 steps I did to make this work.
But definitely, I could not have done this repair without jt_kyle. Thank you so much, jt_kyle.
jt_kyle, Thank you!!!
but none of JP1 or JP2 is givining me the error "tl10", I tried
I9000DXJP1
I9000TGYZSJP2
I9000XXJP1
I9000XXJP2
it come out error started with "m..."
I just keep refreshing each on PDA 3 to 4 times, and choose with re-partition or without. At the end I try a few another ROMs as well, I still get no "tl10", but somehow, just that magicical moment, the screen come out a set of commands that look like format sd card, so I got excited, fresh it with JL2. It is back to work.
still no clue the steps of fixing the problem.
one done, the another one to go.
any more ideas please, and I think I am really close to solve this one now.
Thank you All
FIX
Look for a file called I9000UGJL2Complete follow the same steps pit and so on after your phone boots up youll have a blank baseband then you get the I9000UGJL2 modem and flash it where it says phone this has unbricked a few for me hope this helps

if you have a way for me to give you this file i do have it just not sure how to do so because its 286MB
Could it be dead?
Since you have one of the infamous i9000m's it might also just be a dead SD card? You might try calling samsung and trying to get it repaired under warrenty as they are all under a year old (try and flash jl2 first even it will not boot up). It sounds like no receipt may not be an issue.
Lots of info from allgamer's list of i9000m issues in the general section.
At least you have one in the meantime!
same problem
Hey ive got pretty much the same problem that you had. Only differences are that I'm from Australia and am on Virgin network.
My phone became semi bricked one day when it restarted and since the 3 button combinations did not work i ordered in a USB jig which i received today. I used odin 1.8 to try and flash to I9000BVJJPD which i got from samfirmware.com but it ended up stuck on the logo screen vibrating once in a while. I decided to repeat it with no avail and began to use other roms and use .PIT.
This is where my phone became even worse and is now in it's current position; rebooting at the GT-I9000 page. I tried the method that jt_kyle suggested, substituting australian roms instead but it is still in the same position.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or should i just try getting a warranty?
Look for the ugjl2 complette and repeat what I said

I think I have this I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC file, is the same file that you are talking about? JL2 Complete?
I tried this file many times, it won't work neither.
for past one hour I played around this phone, trying to repeat the steps I did for the first phone. Unfortunately, nothing is working for me AGAIN!
but I got these error page all the time, like following...
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(I/O error)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
I think that's bigest problem in my case, and for a lot of people in this forum. Do any people has a good solution for this???
Hello... just got a Galaxy S new and I think I have fully bricked it.
It was on 2.2 stock and I installed Darkys v10.1 extreme rom on it following the steps in this guide..
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...-darkyrom-gingerbread-jvh-noob-friendly.3080/
I first installed
- Ficeto_JVH_I9000_Odin:
- DarkyROM_v10.1:
and installed the PIT and PDA.
I decided that I didn't like Darkys and tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 on it..
my friend said I needed to install a PIT first, then install a JPY rom afterwards.
I used Odin 1.3 and selected this pit "s1_odin_20100512"
and I think I pressed Re-Partition as previously in the guide that was what they did..
Auto reboot and F. Reset time were both ticked
This was the log
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

How can I save my new baby?!!!
When I mean bricked, I don't think it turns on at all...... doesn't light up or enter recovery.
Most ironic is, I bricked it relatively easily when people said it's virtually unbrickable.
!!!!!!!!
You may never flash just a pit file!!!
You only use it when you flash a 3file rom.
That's the same for repartition.
If you can get it in download mode, everything is fine.
Else your screwed...
A sgs is virtually unbrickable if you had flashed it correctly.
When you don't know how to flash always follow a tut!!!

I never realised you could just use a .pit without the rest.
The .pit file isn't "installed" it is a file which tells the system how to wipe and then repartition the memory in your phone. Essentially you wiped the phone without installing anything on it after that. I am not sure if it wipes the bootloaders as well (at the very least it has partially wiped them if recovery is not working)
If you can get download mode to work, then you should be alright. If it doesn't work, a jig may or may not help. If you can not get download mode to work, then you have no other recourse than to send it back for repairs. They will need to replace the erased bootloaders if this is the case.
If on the other hand you do manage to get it to work, read very carefully the process that is actually involved in flashing firmwares with odin/heimdall. Yes it is very hard to permanently brick your phone if you know what you are doing. Hell in most cases even if you don't know what you're doing it's hard to permanently brick your phone. You went ahead and did one of the few things that is a danger area though. In general though, you should not repartition (ie use the .pit file) unless necessary (although repartitioning wont really do anything bad it's completely unneeded in most cases) and don't flash boot-loaders unless necessary. NEVER repartition without flashing a rom with it.

Thanks for your long and detailed explanation of what I have exactly done..
I had kind of guessed by now of what I have done.. which is very unfortunate as like you said, "I never realised you could just use a .pit without the rest. ".
Such a dangerous thing, I wouldn't have expected the software to allow me to do that
Instead of making a jig with resistors, I have read that you can cut a micro usb cable instead??
Would you be able to direct me to other resources or information on how to make one?
If a jig doesn't work, how much money am I looking at for someone to fix it?
Thank you very much,
Kind regards

USB JIG may be your only hope then.

and also, does the phone do anything when plugged in ?? no charging indicator or lights, vibrations ???

if the jig fails, send it off to samsung a blame it on a failed KIES update, act dumb and hope for the best, chances are they wont charge

first of all CHILL OUT !! dont panic or you could make the same mistake.
Download this http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
DO NOT use pit and DO NOT select re-partition
let me know the outcome, if the above firmware dont fix it, we need to get you a 3 file firmware THEN and only THEN do we add PIT and REPARTITION

Thanks for the encouraging words..
I'm downloading it now, 370mb?!
After download, do I use Odin 1.3 or 1.7 to flash the TAR and ONLY THE TAR?
BTW I'm with Windows 7 64 bit, I've seen guides saying 1.7 may not work perfectly... however It worked fine for me with installying Darkys rom..
i use 1.7 too, also running win 7 64 bit. no problems for me.
the firmware is a FULL FROYO including all dbdata's bootloaders, kernel the full monty
only insert the .tar file in the PDA section of odin.
it may not fix you completely, but it will restore most of the corruption, however we may need a 3 file firmware with PIT to fix the file system.
but we will cross that bridge when we need to

Ahh okay.
At the moment, I'm getting a "USB Device Not Recognized" notice with plugging it in..
right ok........
do you have kies installed on your PC ?? if you do uninstall it, and then re install it, this will re-install the drivers,
if you dont have kies, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Finally, when you are about to flash using odin MAKE SURE KIES IS **NOT** RUNNING, EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY.

Hello, guys.
I was trying to install a new rom to my Galaxy Note. and when wiping out the user data (to get the phone ready to install the new rom) he phone reboot and got stuck on the start up logo. Waited for a long time but it didn't do any thing. So a remove the baterry and turned it back on. But but it did the same.
I then decided to flash it using Odin but it got stuck almost at the end of the proccess. Now my battery is almost dead and the only thing on the screen is a flashing message. Firmware upgrade encounter an issue.
HELP!!! THIS IS MY NEW PHONE!!!!

Which rom you were on before trying to flash? And what did you try to install?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I was on Android 4.0.3 the German realesed.
N7000XXLPY---------4.0.3---------2012 May
I downloaded it from the forum and it was working nicely. I just wanted to try a different rom. But I didn't get to do nothing just to clear the data which never ended and crash my phone..
Stuck after wiping user data, Odin hanging at the end..where exactly did it stop working?
I'd say that it's definitely superbricked.
you can do that:
- go on recovery (Try vol up + home + power)
- mount usb storage and put abyss kernel in a directory
- flash abysskernell4.00
- reboot recovery
- wipe data cache and dalvik
- power off
- power on
if it's stay on boot logo :
- power off
- vol down + home + power (download mode)
- flash your note with odin pc with this method
- dl mobil odin and flash ics open germany with this method
Noizy.
I will try that, but now i have to charged my battery to be able to do it.
When trying to flash the green bar on Odin gets almost to the end ot the proccess but then it just sits there and doesn't do anything...

Could you paste the Odin log perhaps? That would help the people around here give you a solution, if any.
Right now I am downloading the files from the commment above... I will try that and post whatever it happened!!! My internet conection is just a Mega so it takes me a while to download all the files to try it... But I am almost done!!
This is what I have on Odin. It almost get to the end of the green bar.

This is the message Showing..
Is your LPY Rom rooted? If yes, then how?
Did you flash CF-Root LPY kernel, or did you root it using Dr.Ketan's method?
This is a screen shot of the screen.
Yes it's rooted and I used Dr.Ketan's method..
I'm afraid you have a brick on your hands, mate. Take your Note to the
nearest service centre for MoBo replacement.
That I can't do. I bought from a third person... So I don't have any warranty... Let me ask you a question. The fact that I can get into recovery mode doesn't make a difference?

I am trying again.
Not working... Don't know what to do
It's superbricked, for sure. All you can do is send it for repairs - motherboard replacement.

Hey dude, I had a similar case when I was upgrading my S2 officially because my USB was loose, I got the update 60% and came to a halt, my phone wasn't even rooted by then.
Here's what I did and here's what you can try:
1. root my phone (for your case, re-root your phone or even unroot then re-root it again, there may be some files damaged when your phone lost power).
2. install original kernel and Stock ROM (there might be original files which are needed from the original to make things work when you switch ROMs)
3. reboot and see if things are fine.
If you get back to running normal, then you can install whatever Custom ROMs you like.
Hope this help! Get back to me with the latest situation.
before writing, I'm so sorry for my pooooor English.
I live in Toronto, Canada. I bought my Galaxy Note(SHV-E160L) from Korea, so change sim card from LG U+ to Rogers.
but when I sleep, Note encounter Unlimited Reboot.
so I try to repair in 3-way.
first, Factory reset. but I could make Download mode only, couldn't make Recovery mode.
so I try Samsung Kies Recovery mode, but Kies show me binery Error.
last, I want to use ODIN, but ODIN show me Error Message, too.
"Complete(write) operation failed"
What this means?
If it can't be repaired, I must send my cell phone to Korea.
I'm very embrassed...
please help me!!
and Merry Christmas for you
Is it sticking on factoryfs.img in ODIN ? this usually means its bricked which kernel where you on when you did the factory reset ?
I had a similar issue last week, stuck in odin, everything failing, I was convinced it was bricked, I manage to repair it by (no joking here) flashing a million wrong things in ODIN.... But DO NOT TRY THIS lol
try to flash a safe kernel through ODIN, and then see if it bring back recovery, then you can wipe and flash a new rom (hopefully)
otherwise there is the pit file method to revive from a brick, which works well, but loses around 3gb of internal sd space
hello
hello bro...
try this method:
download a stock gingerbread rom then go into download recovery, flash it with odin, root your phone.
from here you can install any custom rom, this is how i do when i got bootloop.
Thanks for your reply

Perhaps should follow closely the guide for using odin from Dr ketan should help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
1. Installation
- Download stock ROM (should start with a GB rom), and extract it to .tar file
- Download Odin, open it
- select PDA tab and point to ROM file. Leave Re-partition, pit, CSC, Phone tab unticked.
- Switch off device, Put in download mode (Vol down + Home + Power)
- completely close kies, Anti virus if running
- Connect device to PC
- ID com port shud turn yellow (not shown in image)
Now hit Start

see how it goes.
Same problem as OP
Hello guys,
unfortunately, I have the same problem with my 32GB SHV-E160L as OP. Little backstory:
I bought the GNote in Korea and brought it back to my country. I successfully rooted it with one of the guides here on XDA (Tegrak kernel, no OC whatsoever). No problems so far, the phone worked for weeks and I was able to do what you can do with rooted phones. One day while surfing the net it just crashed and was stuck in a boot loop. This is where I am now.
I tried:
Go into tegrak recovery. result: It gets stuck on samsung logo, funnily the phone would establish a usb connection if plugged in (as if in download mode)
Reset from Kies. result: After beeing told by Kies to go into download mode, instead of flashing the new software it gives an error message in Korean about missing binaries (see attachment)
Flash from odin. result: the dreaded red box with "fail" appears after the NAND write command
Now, after doing my research here on XDA I found out that my emmc might have damaged partitions and I need a PIT file. Here's where I'm stuck.... I can't find a PIT file for my 32GB note, only for the N7000 or the I717. And I don't want to mess things further up... so if anyone here could provide me with a PIT file, or tell me how to fix the phone through other means I would be really grateful
Thanks in advance....
You should ask hg42 if he can make one - in his thread I read that he did this before even for other devices.
So try a pm or post in his thread. Good luck
