Can't flash with Odin - Please help!

I have been trying to flash my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for a week now with no success.
First off, it has a lot of problems connecting when I am in download mode. It has no problem at all when the phone is fully booted up, but Odin has a really hard time seeing it while the phone is in download mode. I have to restart the phone several times into download mode and pull the cable, etc until I can finally get Odin to see it.
Once I get Odin to finally see the phone in download mode I loaded the PIT and the PDA files from the tutorial for DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.
But when I hit start is just stops here:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And will not go any further.
I originally rooted with one click, but I am afraid I might have messed that up. After I did the one click I was messing around with the phone and formatted the internal memory from the download screen. I even went back into one click to try to unroot, but it gives me an error message.
Did I mess up my phone? Is there any way to fix this?

have you ever succeeded in flashing with odin or first time?
have you closed all kies programs from task manager? (do you even have it installed?)
if you have win7, have you opened odin with right click menu->as administrator?
what ver. of odin do you use?
maybe the cable is faulty?
did you connect it directly to the comp or by some hub? (better connect directly)

guy7685,
No, I have never flashed before. This is the first time.
I tried running Odin as system admin, made no difference.
I do not have Kies installed.
I'm pretty sure the cable is good, it works fine for everything else including data transfer on my other phone, just not in download mode for this phone.
I've tried a few different versions. v1.30, v1.83, v1.85
When I tried in in v1.83 & v1.85 I get a fail, then this message:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Any thoughts?

If you have another computer you can try it on, do that otherwise I think you need to install the drivers again. You can search for them or you can install them via kies. Once you have kies installed go to tools and install drivers.
Remember that before you open Odin you go through task manager to close all kies processes.
Good luck

Got it to work
I was finally able to get it to work. I think I was using the wrong recovery screen or at least what I thought was a recovery screen because I finally got the guy in the construction picture and it flashed no problem with Odin.

After Odin Succes
Everything is ok and all thred completed (succesd 1 / failed 0)
After this, my galaxy tries to reboot but it only shows the flashing battery and will not reboot itself.
Help!

Right Click -> Run As Administrator it should resolve the issue

If its showing the battery only then its probably the wrong flash file.

[Q] Currently unable to install any rom

Hi guys,
Current situation
I haven't been able to use my phone for a good day now and I been busy reading guides, trying out stuff for a bunch of hours now. I thought it was time to ask you guys. Currently this is the only thing I'm able to do:
When I boot normally its stuck on the black screen with Samsung Galaxy Note on it.
When I boot with volume down, a screen popups up if I'm sure than press volume up. After that I'm in ODIN mode (says so with red letters in the left top). Below that it says: PRODUCT NAME: GT-N7000 , CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO , CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
In the middle of the screen below the Android guy it says: Downloading... Do not turn of target !! (I'm not really sure if its suposed to say downloading there, while its not downloading anything?)
What I did so far
I came from a gingerbread Rocket ROM and decided to try out the ICS Stunner rom. I downloaded the ROM and read the install discription. I pretty much went into CWM right away to install the zip (rom) from SD card. It did work and ofcourse everything was still there cause I didnt wipe anything. But I noticed that a bunch of things didn't work and a lot of programs where crashing. I assumed I must have missed a step so I decided to go with the 'Squeaky Clean' install, which was posted on the team-passion website.
This was the last time I was able to get into CWM and connect my phone true USB with my laptop. Because I did the following steps:
Reboot in to ClockworkMod Recovery.
Format the following:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
**Enter 'Mounts and Storage'**
- Format everything it will allow you to
**Go Back, enter 'Advanced'**
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
**Go Back to main menu, reboot system**
The next step on that list is: Remove your battery and boot up into 'Download Mode'. But the only mode I am getting into is the ODIN MODE where it already says 'Downloading...'. When I try to flash using ODIN, it isn't able to setup the connection. It does identify that the phone is connected because the ID:COM is yellow on 0:[COM3]. It didn't before, but after reading somewere that it might help to install Kies for the drivers it did.
Also tried "InitialCFRootFlasher" and "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" but both arent able to establish the connection. Just like ODIN.
What I'd like to do
I'd prefer going with the ICS Stunner ROM, seeing thats how this all started. But currently I'd settle for anything working, because being phoneless for a day is pretty anoying hehe.
What do you guys suggest?

I really don't know how u understood the process. But just don't screw this. Go download any of the pre rooted odex rom -link in my signature - and flash it via odin.
Or any rootable rom from dr ketan's thread - link in my signature - and follow the steps mentioned there to the Dot slowly and calmly. Just get to GB and rooted. Then report here. Will tell u how to go to ics stunner after that.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm currently downloading one of the prerooted roms from your signature. However it would suprise me if ODIN allows me to install these seeing it can't really connect to the phone. Am I suposed to be in the 'Downloading... Do not turn of target !!' screen on my phone, while connected to laptop true USB?
Will update once I'v got it.

Yup u need to be in that mode. The odin on your PC should show the Com port as yellow. If it doesnt then there is some drivers problem.

It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading any rom in PDA, Phone or Bootloader and only checking auto reboot and f. reset time this is what happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
And thats where its hanging, nothing on the phone screen is changing.
I don't remember the screen saying 'Downloading..' last time I flashed something. It's already saying that when I enter the screen, when its not downloading anything.

Apparently I'm not able to make edits yet here so heres another post after figuring out how to load these files:
It is connected yeah, the com port is shown as yellow. After loading the three files in ODIN under PDA, PHONE and CSC just like on the screenshot in your signature. And only checking 'Auto reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' the following happens:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

Done! I'm still not sure what went wrong, I think placing the files in the wrong place in ODIN. Got a tip from someone how to place them and they worked in one go. Pretty weird cause I was using the same setup as the XDA guide post.
Main problem is solved now, I'll have to look into the ICS thing now. Thanks for your help.

Sorry was away so couldnt reply. The setup shown i xda should work perfectly. Anyways its good to know that you got all things settled. You can install the ICS Stunner (no touchwiz and no samsung apps) if you so want. Remember to backup your data as you will have to wipe data for going to ICS. From rooted GB install mobile odin then download the lp1 repack from my signature and after all that is done reboot to recovery clear caches and data and flash stunner (download the latest build by clicking Stunner in my signature) clear caches and data and reboot.
* Triangle away is required only when you flash lp1 through PC Odin.*

Ended up using the mobile odin application, works like a charm.
Thanks for your help!

the ever GOLDEN RULE: Don't ever ever attempt to WIPE data if your on a unsafe or on a stock ICS kernel. That's should be at the top of your list before you do anything on your phone. If you need to WIPE, make sure your already in a safe kernel or if you haven't still, then flash one.
Now going back on your perennial issue. The only thing you can and will do is FLASH a stock GB on download mode using PC ODIN. Yes Doc Ketan's thread/s have those old GB's ROM.. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997, follow it to a tee.
One added thing when your going to start to flash GB again... Pray, that it would not stuck back again at 'factoryfs.img'
Good luck bud!

No luck...yet.

Can you get the Note into Download mode?
If so, try using desktop Odin (latest desktop version not mobile version) and flash the Abyss 4.2 kernel. the Tar file is easily found on XDA. This is a GB kernel and should allow you to get into full Recovery. From there you can flash a new ROM as you are now on a safe kernel.

Tried that, but not sure about the latest desktop version.

Hi, thank you for your message, I was on Abyskernel when I factory data reset, and tried to flash back to cm9 from cm10, but no luck. Then I used Odin3-v1.85 on desktop with Gingerbread Rom, it got stuck at factoryfs.img.. I have tried with different pc disabling firewall and anti virus. What is the latest desktop version of Odin that you know? What specific tar file do you know that is the best? Thank you again.

your CM10 to CM9 downgrade sounds like a bad flash, it can happen. I would try Odin3 V3.05 with Abyss (search for "AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar" or go here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/yoe791qq3atbung/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.tar).
this should allow you to install a safe kernel to flash from. if you can now access Recovery, then you can flash a ROM from there. I would use a Stock based one (I always recommend Chrack ROM or Criskelo), If you prefer, you can download a Stock tar file and use Odin but I would try downloading the latest Chrack ROM or Criskelo ROM, transferring it to your micro SD and flashing after you have installed the Abyss tar.
I hope this helps. Please hit Thanks if it did.

You gave me the AbyssNotekernel, but the only thing my phone can now do when I turn on is either show a screen with "Firmware upgrade encounters an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" or on download mode. Or is there any way I can use the Desktop Odin and try to install the AbyssNotekernel that you gave me? I really don't know bro. Thank you for the message, please let me know.

Yes, the Abyss tar file is for use with Odin. install Odin on your PC, put the Note into Download and connect. Flash the tar file and wait for the Note to reboot (search for notes on how to flash with Odin if you're not 100% sure). you should now be able to use Recovery to flash a ROM from this safe kernel.

Just a quick question.

.tar file is to be flashed with odin directly. It has an image inside and should not extract it. Should put the .tar file in one folder but not on desktop screen. Select pda box in odin and brow to the folder where you put .tar file. Should see it there.
BTW, if flash using CWM failed again, then should use hg42 scanner to check if there is partition damage.

It seem to show you have an emmc brick, although using the partition scanner will confirm. The options are to send to ss service for warranty or to revise using repartition. For warranty you will need to reset flash counter using a jig.

Hi bro,
I flashed the Abysskernel again and it went to Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 logo with big Triangle at the bottom and it then goes to Android system recovery <3e>, then it looks like there is no option for me to access the SD card, but its own 16GB storage it came with and that one has CM10 in it. Tried to flash that, but it says "E:failed to verify whole-file signature". If I attempt to claim for warranty will Samsung know that I rooted it after clearing the binary counts? Please let me know. Thank you for your instructions. If there is anything else you want me to try out, please let me know. Thank you.

Can you try verifying the md5 of the file from the place you downloaded TWRP from?

How do I verify it

Be sure that the "Reactivation lock" in settings>security is Unchecked
and be sure that you have USB debugging enabled before odin flashing.
After doing that you should no longer have odin flashing errors or issues.
Good luck!

I accidentally wiped my sd card in twrp and now I'm having trouble downloading from a lot of apps. How can I fix this? Would I have to Odin back to a stock firmware to get it back to where it was? Titanium back up and other apps say I have insufficient space, but I know I have a good amount. I reflashed the ROM I've been on and started fresh, but I'm still having issues. Thanks in advanced.

Uninstall titanium backup and re-download/install it from the play store then have titanium backup
detect backup location under preferences>backup location in settings then restart titanium backup.
Once you do that it will work fine.
Good luck!

TWRP 2.8.1.0 is not installing on my Tmo Galaxy Note 4
I don't know what's going on guys. I know I am doing everything the right way but for some reason whenever i get back to turning the phone off hitting Vol up/Home/ Power key it takes me to the android boot screen vs the twrp android boot screen.
I am using the img.tar file in odin under the pda option
I have odin set to auto re-boot
i turn the phone off and hit the command
nothing.
Using this twrp in odin
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-trltetmo.img.tar
if someone can please help me out greatly appreciated.

Is the phone rooted? With bootloader unlocked? Did u use CF auto root?
If so u can flash recovery with FLASHIFY [ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify] from the play store. Just download the .IMG file for TWRP in the app and let it flash it.

Thanks for your help man I did end up figuring it out. For some reason the auto reboot was causing the issue. I had to turn that off and manually pull the battery out etc for it to work.
Worked great and I'm now running cm12

thanks for this

I'm guessing twrp 3.0.0 dosent work for the kindle fire (otter) right?

AlbGol said:
I gave you the correct file for what you need to do if you have the n910t, for more specifics look the post above me.
Here is the correct way of installing twrp 3.0 image file, straight from your existing recovery (twrp)
When you boot into your current Recovery 2.8.7.0 and click on Install - Bottom Right you'll see a Image Button - Click on this - The next Screen will show Boot and Recovery - You want to click on Recovery and Swipe to install.
Thats it. (All the phones that I did this were N910T, so was the image file for my device trltmo)
Here is the direct link for twrp 3.0 image file for 910t

Also if u have different model(carrier) just find it here and follow the steps:

Button combo does not work, goes to recovery booting loop. This is the problem. That's the first thing i did. I haven't seen a hard brick on any of my devices in 12 years.

SM-G900A will not flash stock firmware, will not recover

A little back information to clear up how this started; a friend of mine has some very serious mental health issues and over factory reset his SM-G900A because he is paranoid someone will get his phone and steal his information. Its not stolen or found. The reactivation lock was triggered and hes so overly medicated he cant figure out what his Samsung account information is to recover it. He claims to have sent it back to Samsung and they couldn't recover it. I'm new to modding androids but have had a lot of success tweaking my SGH-I537.
I tried to reinstall the stock firmware to get around the reactivation lock. When i checked the properties of the phone on my pc it said it was running G900AUCU4BOF3 firmware. But a google search told me that the OF3 was a OTA to downgrade it to NCE. Several attempts with Odin "failed" every time and brought me rite back to the reactivation lock. Until the last attempt with my third different set of NCE files ended with a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" warning on boot up. But Kies or Smart Switch wont connect to the device now.
Can someone help me please?

You can only flash OF3. I also sent you a private message with a link to lead you to help.

I'm brand new to this site and just opened the message. I have seen this bypass but my current problem is in stuck at the boot up warning "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in keys and try again." kies and smart switch won't recognize the device. And when I run nce through Odin the operation falls

I have also tried several different versions of the fix you sent me. I don't think that particular one though. But at the moment I can't get any firmware to load
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app

I've been working on this for about four days now. The closest I came to success was at one point when I restarted the phone while attached to my pc it restored to my sgh-i537 settings. I don't know how it happened but the phone was working. Thinking I had fixed it I did the factory reset to get rid of my information and let my friend put his in. When it rebooted it was back to the reactivation lock. If I could get the sm-g900a to reset to my sgh-i537 again I would just leave it but it's refusing to do anything for me.

I have tried he BOC4 one click zip. It ends with the same operation fail message that _ok got. Are there AP files for Odin for lollipop? I didnt find any but im also getting frustrated at this point.

remember unzip the zip file. connect the phone , run the unzipped file and then start . It is an executable file that contains the firmware of Odin and everything you need to restore your device .

The xtc4 didn't work. In the next page I tried the kies emergency recovery and got stuck at the recovery code part. I do have screen shots of everything. Give me a few minutes to get to my pc and backtrack to see if I missed anything

I seem to be having the exact, same problem. I've tried every possible solution posted thus far, with no success

So now after flashing with the NCE pit and all AP files with just the auto reboot and re-partition checked I get this screen after the phone looks for an update. Not there yet but at least one step further. Any ideas?

It is very strange that does not allow installing the software , I'll do some research about it and help you .
you tried to do it with another USB cable? placing it in another USB port ? even on another computer ? try to run the Odin clicking Administrator Mode also.
