I know all the info on here is very usefull but too many people assume us noobs know all the lingo,I managed to root have s.u. and rom manager,ive flashed cwm,backed up everything 3 times with tit bu,dbox and desktop and ext hrd dve,I have cog,andromeda,perception all downloaded and put on sd card as .zip , when i choose dl rom from sd card and check the 3 pre inst options my phone then goes into the bootmode with options to (re-boot now,wipe all user data,re install packages , wipe cache. Iam scared to do the wipe system and user data but have tried the re boot now,re inst packages and wipe cache all which just re boot as though im shutting the phone off and back on again. i need to know if i have to choose the wipe system and user data and when i do what do i do from there I NEED DETAILS step by step,also i dont understand all this odin stuff
Are you able to get into CWM recovery. It's the green one. Choose install .zip from sd card. If it's blue, you're still at the Android recovery. Choose install update.zip, do it until CWM recovery green boots up. Then choose install .zip from sd card. Locate your rom on the sd card and install.

The toolbox fails. I tried rooting my phone with it. didn't work. I tried going back to stock with it and it put my phone in a soft brick! I don't recommend it...

It's always worked great for me. Sounds like you didn't have proper drivers for it.

Today i managed to brick my rogers captivate i 1896 while trying to flash a kernal,when i checked the progress my phone was switching between samsung screen and suckerpunch repeatedly..now.. i downloaded odin used the vol up/down while plugging to usb got to download mode started odin it worked or so i thought now i just have a flashing att logo any takers..i dont wanna go anyfurther alone and completely screw things up
remember when i told you you should read the info in the forums?
it applies here too.
you are 'clayed' soft-brick if you will.....use ODIN to get back to stock....and stop messing with your phone until you understand wtf you are doing....
[Q] just flashed to att 2.1
I screwed up my phone and used odin to get it to master clear i was rogers 2.2 stock now my phone is att 2.1 eclair,i had all my stuff backed up with tit bu,what do i need to do now to get my phone back because right now its like a brand new att which i dont want
i know i know,im tryna learn..trial and error i guess, I got it to work by using odin but now its a 2.1 like a brand new phone how do i get all my stuff from titanium or is it easier to flash a new rom from where i am now
btw im on rogers stock 2.2
flash a 2.2 kernel with odin, that has CWM baked into it (hint, nearly all of them do) and then flash straight from CWM....

follow the rooting guides, then install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery, then flash a custom rom, like andromeda.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005841
then do a tibu restore
thanks,my phone is still acting weird,everytime i shut it off i have to use odin to get it back on otherwise it just flashes the att screen,can i use the superone click to root 2.1 just like i did with my 2.2

My thought would be to shuck off your mortal Froyo coils and move on to one of the great Gingerbread roms such as Continuum 5.5, GR-12, Serendipity vII, or Mosaic III (JVH is good but JVO is better).
CAREFULLY read ALL instructions!! The devs here are remarkably knowledgable but sometimes forget the word everything out fully for the noob.
ODIN flashes happen when your phone is in Download Mode (yellow triangle). CWM flashes happen in Recovery mode (must flash a file that has been transferred to the phone previously).
FROYO: Download Mode = Hold Both Volume Buttons and plug in your data cable. (Make sure ODIN is running on your computer first) - - Recovery Mode = Hold both volume buttons AND power button (wait until kernel image flashes a second time and then let go of all buttons) - - GINGERBREAD: Download Mode = Hold only BOTTOM volume button and plug in your data cable. - - Recovery Mode = Hold TOP volume button AND power button until kernel image flashes a second time and let go of all buttons.
Flash one of these packages if you are on a Rogers Captivate...

Hey man love your videos, the guy at the phone store got my phone working,but it is now a att 2.2,it doesnt have a enable non market apps option so my titanium wont restore my back up can i use this odin link to flash that stock rogers rom
This should be quick.
So I was using the Captivate AIO, but I flashed some drivers from the "Flashing ROMs on the Captivate" thread instead of the AIO. This is on Windows XP 32-bit.
Before I flashed the stock ROM the phone was already having a voice telling me things that I couldn't understand when I tried starting normally. I think data partition was corrupt or something.
I thought something was wrong because I had to use Vol - to get into download mode, so I flashed 3 button fix version. First time failed for some reason, so I unplug and restart again. Second time fails at SetupConnection, so I try the third time, which seems to work. Download goes through, Success! is shown in the box where there was the indicator of what was being flashed. The phone seems to shut down or restart once finished.
Now, for some reason the phone now refuses to start up or anything. Putting in the battery and trying the power button gives me nothing. Holding Vol+ and Vol- with USB plugged in and then putting in battery is nothing. No bootloop, no indication of anything, just black screen.
Is this permabricked?
Yes, you are hard bricked. You had the I9000 gingerbread bootloaders, hence the different button combos, you flash the 3 button fix which is just a froyo sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) but you still have a gingerbread boot.bin(primitive bootloader) so the pbl can't transition into the sbl because they are incompatible.
You can get jtag from mobiletechvideos.com for $50
Or find a user named adam outler I believe he offers jtagging for $30 (here is his user profile just shoot him a pm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3682533 )
Or you could try your hands st a warranty replacement....but that would require a little loose morals and a story (lie) about what happened.
I'll take the JTAG as a 50 dollar lesson learned.
Do you know where these guys are located (physically)? I see there's a paypal but I don't see any way to really send it out to them.
You could always use adam outlers help....!
He has unbricked many captivates and is really good,my suggestion would be just pm him once before you decide doing anything....!

Josh from mobile tech lives in texas. Austin I believe.
Adam outler lives in louisiana.
Already ordered the JTAG service from their website, the Captivate is definitely a far cry from what's a relatively easy flashing process for the Desire HD.
Just to be sure, the process goes by Odin3 1 click flashback to stock, then root, then custom ROM, then..?

no.
flashing back to stock is not required to flash a rom
rooting is not required to flash a rom
if you are on stock 2.2 with 3e recovery, then just odin a custom kernel that has CWM built in, flash your rom
if you are on 2.1 with 2e recovery, just drop the update.zip that rom manager makes onto your sdcard, reboot to recovery, reinstall packages twice, then you will be in CWM. flash your rom

Gah, the guides on the dev section all seem to really stress the need to go back to stock before flashing.
Is it possible/okay to just do a full wipe in CWR, then flash the ROM in recovery if it allows for it, or is this more nuanced than I think it is?
Most roms actually have a wipe script in then so all you really need is to just flash it...but if you want to make extra sure its a clean flash then yes full wipe in recovery then flash.
Unless it is a gingerbread rom and you have eclair/froyo bootloaders. Then you would need to flash those with odin/heimdall and then the rom in recovery. But if you already have ginger boots then the above still applies.

Flashing back to stock is optional,you should be able to flash any rom via the cwm,follow these steps:
In the cwm menu
1.wipe data
2.wipe cache
3.go to advanced cwm features and wipe dalvik cache
4.then install zip from sd card
5.choose zip from sd card
6.install it and reboot....!
will work for all android versions,but make sure you dont mess up the bootloaders

Lol I do that all the time.

Well, at least now I know what to do next time when it comes back.
Better yet what NOT to do.
Do not flash the 3 button fix if you have gingerbread bootloaders.
Anymore "DON'T DO THIS EVER" words of wisdom?

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!
Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.
If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.
1.Go to recovery.
2.Format EVERYTHING(data, cache, dalvik AND system.)
3.Download mode
4.Flash broodrom with Odin.
That should work!

Not really, still the same.

I can flash normal, go to download mode easily and everything else too.

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667
Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?
verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697
I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596
@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!
suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this

Hi,
Sorry for my english first.
I have Galaxy Tab GT-P1000... and problem.
My device have corruped internal memory. Problem with flash hidden.rfs and movinand.mst, and samsung logo loop.
At first I try to flash with Odin3 and stock firmware 2.3.3 and I see it's make no diffrent. Try second time this same and I see logo screen with mobile, PC and exclamation mark between.
I use OneClikLoader and I can go on Downloading Mode.
After that I read how to fix problem with internal memory and use only external sd card to make device work.
I download heimdall 3.09, Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread [XWJQ8], Overcome Kernell 4 and probably I do something wrong. Mayby i don't understand somthing. Now I can't explaint what I do wrong. I use Overcome Kernell zImage, mayby I swaaped RECOVERY with KERNEL in Heidmall.
I write what is the situation now.
My device looks like hard brick, almost. It won't turn on when flash is end, push power button and nothing. I connect to the computer and after 20min its show samung logo by long time and go another step, show short animation, but it stuck. I turned off and try turn on and nothing happend.
Somehow I managed turn on download mode on device. I thing I have corruped bootloader, kernell and evrything .
Could someone can help me and tell what should I do, what firmware, bootloader download and how to flash by heimdall only, becouse Odin don't see the device. We can accepted that device is hard bricked and we must flash everything.
Thank You
Whait for help

The first bit of advice is to let this thing charge up, preferably overnight. From the way your describing it, it sounds to me like your Battery has gone flat. And, although you can, and I have done some Flashing with ca~ 10% Battery Life. Its not something you should do regularly. Alas I didn't have a USB Charger back then. I have since corrected this oversight, and now I can fully charge my P1000 with-in 4~5 hours. Assuming that you can only charge though a PC this WILL take longer. A lot longer!
After which you should try to reflash again with the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3. Oden Package gt-p1000_mr.pit, GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar and the XXJPZ Modem <- VERY IMPORTANT! In my experience if I had forgot to include this File in Oden, and then flashed anyway I'd land up in soft-brick land, which then required me to use the One-Click Recovery which is a PITA to have to keep setting up on each use. (on a Windows7 Netbook).
If you still get errors then you may have to also flash dbdata.tar (PDA Section) to your P1000, and then go back into recovery and rerun Wipe Data/Factory Reset & Wipe Cache Partition. Which should hopefully fix your problems.
These Files must be unzipped! THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY!! You have to use either Heimdall or Oden to flash this!
It is false to assume you need root to flash a custom Rom. You only need custom recovery.
Rooting allows you to gain super user privileges.
Just because the kernel that has cwm also has root doesn't make rooting necessary.

Hi, after one year using CM7, I decided to go back to stock rom on my galaxy ace. After flashing with odin, I keep getting stuck on a bootloop. I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset but the problem persists. I tried unbranded stock as well as wind and vodafone, but the phone keep bootlooping. I also tried again with CM7 but the phone doesn't boot again. Please help, I believe the phone is ok but I don't know how to get out from this situation. I read several forums and all of them suggest to factory reset it, but this procedure seems to not be effective on my phone. How can I solve it?
I'd like to provide more detail in order to give a more complete description but I'm not able to know which error messages are given by the phone...I just see the samsung logo. I'm quite a newbie but I have a lot of experience with computers and electronic devices, so if anyone can point me the way, I can easily learn how to do...

thank you for answering. anyway I already did these steps for the whole last weekend. I tried no-brand stock rom, branded (wind) and various versions of android (2.3.3, 2.3.6, ...) of course I have countlessly factory reset the phone but the result is always the same: samsung logo loading and reloading till the end of humanity.....
any other option?
I forgot to mention that I've followed this guide: http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-in...mware-on-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-using-odin/
I found many smilar others on the web but the procedure is the same. Download .tar.md5 from sammobile and then flash with odin 4.38 using cooper_v1.0.ops
....but the phone keeps bootlooping.....

Hi, after one year using CM7, I decided to go back to stock rom on my galaxy ace. After flashing with odin, I keep getting stuck on a bootloop. I tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset but the problem persists. I tried unbranded stock as well as wind and vodafone, but the phone keep bootlooping. I also tried again with CM7 but the phone doesn't boot again. Please help, I believe the phone is ok but I don't know how to get out from this situation. I read several forums and all of them suggest to factory reset it, but this procedure seems to not be effective on my phone. How can I solve it?

Hi, if you can access in recovery mode, do a wipe cache/dalvik cache/factory reset;
flash another ROM for S5830 model, for example S5 reincarnation;
later flash with odin the stock rom,
wipe cache and do a factory reset again;

Hi, i have the exact same problem with my coworkers Ace gt-s5839i !
His Ace crashed in normal use and was stuck in a bootloop after the crash.
I looked up the internet and tried the factory reset/wipe without success.
Then i tried flashing several firmwares for the 5839i and even 5830i fw´s with odin v1.87 and 3.10 (took me 2 days to figure out that you need to split the fw files with odinatrix for flashing... ).
But still everytime it either freezes in a black screen after the samsung loading screen (after the model logo followed by the branding/animated Samsung logo) or shuts off and starts over the bootloop.
Is there a chance that this error is hardware-sided ? I wiped everything countless times but it doesnt change anything. What else could i try ?
I would love to get some suggestions that could do the trick !
Sorry for hijacking this thread but it fits perfect to my problem

Hello
Well Actually if u can clear the EFS of your phone and the eMMc, it would work normally.
#Flash a Custom Recovery using Odin
#CWM much better. Go to Advanced and clear the efs and emmc there.
#Normally flash the Stock Rom using Odin or Heimdall

the version of CWM you have flashed for your cooper doesnt seem to clear the Emmc and Efs etc.
If your device doesnt boot up to Download Mode then Force boot it using Heimdall Rescutor and flash the stock rom using the same tool or Odin.
In odin tick the option of NAND ERASE ALL.
Still doesnt work give me a ring on +918715031141
