[Q] Restoring Captivate from AT&T World Phone Screen

Hey folks. I'm hoping to get through this in one piece, with one walkthrough.
I recently messed up in flashing a Rom to my Captivate. It cleared the phone of firmware and left me with the AT&T splash screen.
I bought a jig, and am now at the "Downloading..." screen and am trying to take this slowly to ensure a properly functioning phone (I've been without for two weeks now).
I've read through the sticky post [link]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364[/link] and have most of the downloads. The Odin link is dead, and I don't have the proper version (I used a version I later found out was bad).
What I'm hoping for is to get someone to show me where the proper version of Odin is, and maybe give me a quick guide to doing this for a Rogers Galaxy S Captivate.
I hope I'm not coming off as lazy, but I tried this solo, and it went awry. Thanks for any help in advance.

This is the link for Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You want to Open Odin, then use the jig to put the phone in download mode, connect usb to your computer and wait until odin recognizes your phone. Click Start and sit back and wait. You should then be able to put whatever rom you want on the sd card and flash

Okay. I got the proper download, and used Odin. It reported success.
I haven't unplugged the phone from the computer yet, but it's also not showing as a drive on my computer. I'm at the stage where I'm supposed to root the phone after using Odin and before flashing.
Should I unplug the phone, or is that going to send me back to square one?

If you used that Odin 1 click you will have the AT&T version, it will work but you will have the AT&T boot up screen. After it is finished your phone should reboot by itself. If it didn't try pulling the battery and then turn it back on.

Driver Installation Issue at Fault?
Okay, so I'm starting to wonder what's going on with the communication between my phone and my computer. I have the drivers, but when I try to install them (64 bit, for a dual-core, right?), it claims to fail.
I think maybe that this is the reason I can't get the computer to recognize the drive. Also, when plugged in last time, it said it failed to install drivers again. Even when the phone was operational, I had issues with that.
So . . . I'm wondering if maybe I solve that and the issue becomes seamless. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, as it seems I'm stuck until I get the phone to register. Even Odin won't see it now, although I've already passed that step. F-Bomb.

Did you get the drivers right from samsung web site if not thats why they wont install i had same thing when i got my cappy.
I got drivers from.samsung.com installed em worked perfect sence. i kept the download saved had to install em a few times over the last 9 or so months. Only because of all the dam software hardware i run. Good luck

Just because it's a dual core processor in the computer doesn't mean you have a 64 bit OS.
You might want to know what version of windows you have...just a thought.

Okay . . . I can't seem to resolve this driver problem, nor can I move forward in the previous issue of getting my phone back to a functional state.
I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong that everyone else managed to avoid. Could I maybe request some one-on-one time with an experienced Rogers user? Just to recall the exact steps they took in order to successfully UNSCREW their phone.
Again, I appreciate all the help. Every post is making progress. I'm just frustrated at my ineptness with solid state installations.

I'm still not able to install the drivers or get my computer to register the phone as a drive. I did a bit more reading, but I've found nothing but different driver links. Has anyone else had this installation failure?

I have had driver problems before...try plugging up phone; on computer control panel, device managment , go to were it has device (just click then till se something about samsung) then uninstall drivers, next unplug phone, reinstall drivers that are on design gears (developer) thread for odin one click, next plug up phone sbf it will say new hardware and install drivers then see if that works... Ps if need to just pm me and I will get back to you to try and help

I had exactly the same.. stop using Kies and go for Odin!

ok Tried on my wifes pc today, and the same thing happens. i can see kies is downloading, and preparing, the phone turns on with a little green guy, and now stock at 0%. the pc isn´t frozen, and taskman tells my both kies and firmware update is running.
How long does it normaly take to update the phone. im at over 1 h. now and nothing had happend.
About odin, is future update through kies still possible.
Remember my old wave phone, after manualy update , kies then complaind about not been able to update to my phone, cause wrong firm installed.

Yes but what does it care? Kies is known as a bad flashing tool. Odin is much better.. If you are using Win7 x64 you can forget using Kies properly. I suggest you just backup your numbers using kies and then start using Odin.

Odin is much better. Kies bricks phones.

When I first updated my phone through Kies it took about 15-20 minutes, if you want to update your phone using Stock Rom (that is the ROM you're trying to update throgh kies - you have to take note of the number and letters before updates) i advice you too to use Odin.

Ok ill give odin a go.
Does odin clear all settings and apps installed, like MultiLoader did when flashing my wave.
I know about falshing the right firmware, it was a ***** to get my hands on Danish firm to the old wave, hope i more luck finding the latest in danish for the Galaxy.
Right now im very very happy that i flushed that sammy wave the galaxy is so much faster and fun to use.
thanks for replying. Odin it is.

A friend just managed to update his SGS+ via Kies after 12 or something hours of failed attempts (he did try everything from drivers to USB port and cable)
The official update stopped mid-download at a random percentage every time.
His PC was running Win7 x64 and on his final attempt he used another computer with Win XP that did the trick.
The good thing after this adventure of his was that all the apps, messages and settings were kept.

wonder if a virtual xp inside win7 32bit , would do the job.

Quite risky in my opinion, as USB has to be connected through virtualization layers. This might work without any issues but could cause severe problems as well.
I personally tried to connect with KIES from a Win XP vm running on Win7 x64 natively (with vmware Workstation) and it did not work properly.
Tried it several times and with various boots and settings.
But I may have been too impatient, on my netbook KIES also needed several attempts to get connected to the phone.
In the end, I flashed with Odin, that worked right at the first attempt.

If you have Windows 7 on 32 bits you can update via Kies.I updated my phone without any problems when I was using stock ROM.I now just use it for backup.

Windows 7 32 bit never faced this type of problem but yups my friend bricked his phone while updating through kies so be careful also

Note can't connect to Kies

Kies tried to make a connection to Note but fail. I got error message, can not start service on device, please disconnect then reconnect the device. any help please.

note can connect only to the latest kies version. mine is 2.1.1.11124_17. make sure u have the latest kies version.
even after the latest version, sometimes i had problem connecting to kies.
i first opened the kies application in my pc and then connected the cable to phone. it helped. but occasionally i had the connecting problem.
if you need kies just for a transfer,then try using kies air in your phone.

Try these steps,
Make sure you are in Stock ROM
Upgrade Kies
Re install USB Drivers in PC
Try with different USB Ports
Try with Different USB Cable

Try this:
With Kies opened and cable connected, shut down the phone, wait until the menu and return buttons close, then restart phone.

I tried 2 computers already.

Try with that , if that also dint work , you do factory reset or Odlin Flash to New Update.

Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work by power down the note then restarted it.
This is latest firmware.
Current firmware version: PDA:KKA/PHONE:KKS/CSC:KK3(XEU)

Mine is a UK note

i think XXLA1 2.3.6 is the final update for your region.. but this update is not available via Kies.

What are you trying to do that requires KIES anyway? If it's for file transfer then just put it into mass storage mind or use KIES air!

[Q] Phone not supported in Kies 2.0

I get this error message when connecting via USB that the phone is not supported by Kies 2.0 and the phone is brand new and completely stock. Should I return it?

Can you see the phone in your windows explorer or similar, the phone and SD card storage?
If no, then it is more likely a driver issue. Download and install the S3 Toolkit from here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979290 and follow the instructions to install the drivers. If all goes well then there is no issue with the phone. Not used Kies but if the drivers install properly then you shoudl be able to see it in Kies.
In all honesty, I would not bother with Kies. The way to go is once you root (if you inted to) is to just do nandroid backups to your microsdcard. That way if anything happens when away from your computer you can easily rectify it.
If you decide not to use Kies then remember to remove it from your computer before using S3 Toolkit as it can cause conflicts.

Kies and the drivers work just fine with my i9300. And I can read and write internal and external. And Odin works perfect...
So why not Kies? Even tried reinstalling and a clean Windows 7 install with only Kies installed. And my i9300 worked just fine on all the others but not my i9305.

Are you saying that the I9305 is picked up by odin and you can see the phone in Windows or are you referring to the 9300?
Have you tried the drivers from S3 Toolkit? I do not have kies here and it is removed from my phone so cannot test it. Actually, what rom are you running? Perhaps the rom has the Kies stuff removed?
Have you enabled USB Debugging?

I'm saying that it all works just not Kies with my I9305. Everything else is working 100% and I've tried USB debugging on and off. Even considered flashing another firmware but can't find a NEE or the TLA my phone came with.

Ah ok, well in that case I cannot see there being an issue with the phone at all. Just a Kies issue somewhere or possibly an issue with the rom but still do not think it justifies getting it replaced as you know the USB interface works.

I've emailed Samsung last night.let's see what they say...
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

Got the phone exchanged and it's working fine now.

I got the same problem with a new Samsung Galaxy S III 4G (GT-I9305)... do i have to return it and get another one ?

I had to, mine had an error. But yours might not have the same error, have you tried uninstalling KIES, deleting the Samsung folder in documents and then reinstall?

Yep, i just installed win 7 x64, then installed KIES, did the update, connected the phone to pc via usb cable and i get a driver error message. "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" shows with ! in device manager.
I have uninstalled KIES, cleaned up the PC with ccleaner, installed: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1590.
Reboot PC and phone, no luck.
Then tried to point them manually from C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung\USB Drivers and C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers still no luck.
I downloaded KIES from Samsung website under the phone software section and still nothing.

After uninstall delete Samsung folder in documents.
Swyped on my GT-I9305.

I had an i9305 international for 2 weeks and Kies said phone not supported, I sold it due to cell coverage issues in my area. Now I have an i9300 International and again Kies will not work with it. Is there a different version of Kies for international phones? I am in the US.

Did that too.
Disconected every usb device i had plugged in, tried every usb port, and with debugging e/d ... it's driving me nuts.
Can it be a hardware problem ?
When i put it in download mode the pc detects it.
I have stock firmware XXALI5
SOLUTION to my problem:
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 2 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect

Was just about to ask if you had backed the IMEI and forgot to put it back, since I saw your picture and it said Qualcomm and not Samsung.

Tried reinstalling Kies and all, it did not work. Then called Samsung and they said that I need to send the phone to them for a software update. My old firmware was LI5 and the phone is stock.
What I did was, downloaded the latest carrier firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. Now no more problems with Kies and phone is not stated as modified. Still all original. Firmware now LI9.
Hope that helps
Saved me the hassle sending the phone to Samsung.

5830D Odin wont detect

This story started by me unlocking a friends SGA S5830 that was running on Koodo. He picked it up second hand. He wanted to unlock it so he could run it on Virgin. I successfully unlocked it. And tried my Telus sim, phone didn't have one, worked 100%. But, of course I couldn't leave well enough alone. I installed CWM did a backup. And then tried CM10. Phone wouldn't detect sim. Tried CM7, same thing. I tried restoring my backup and all it does is hangs on the phone model splash screen. I have tried numerous things to get it to detect in Odin and Odin Multi Downloader. It just wont detect. I have no issues with my T989D.
Thanks for any insight
