Hi people!
My phone is bricked and I found a backup of my efs (efs.rfs), but I can't flash because I only get crash in ODIN.
What can I do? What's wrong with ODIN?
Best Regards,
Cristian Silaghi
Have you done a nandroid backup? And also can you access to CWM? If yes try to erase everything.
And for odin do you used download mode? Try to unzip the stock rom and put it correctly in program then use download mode, connect your phone and let's start till it finish.
If everything don't work, go to S.A.V and say you don't know what happen'd to your if your warranty is safe.

No, I didn't done a nandroid backup.
It's just flickering when I boot up and when I access CWM.
Yes, I used download mode.
Do I need a special archiving mode for ODIN?
Go to cwm, wipe everything and then flash a new rom like dreamw or another rom. And then when flash is finish wipe everything again.

I can't access Recovery Mode/CWM. It's flickering the screen. What can I do it's just access Download Mode. There's a chance to make phone work if I flash my original stock firmware (but I can't find on the internet firmware stock from Orange Romania, Froyo version, that version which came with the phone).
Then flash a stock firmware this is the most simple for save your phone

I repeat: I can't find my original stock firmware from Orange Romania. Nobody leaked it...
I tried some "miraculous" firmwares which worked from some users, but I think that firmwares was the original ones which came with those phones.
Contact this user.
U are not clear, if ur phone is bricked nothing can be done.
Of course they are not 100% original firmwares but they work and that is all that is needed.
As u can access download mode just flash a GB stock firmware.

I installed "Galaxy Ace Unlock".
The screen is flickering when I start the phone and when I access CWM/Recovery Mode.
Only thing what works is Download Mode (without flickering).
ODIN just crashes (Galaxy Ace Unlock made a backup, but that backup cannot be flashed in ODIN, at least in my case) when I try to flash EFS.
Maybe ODIN doesn't support of flashing EFS backup in GT-S5570... Can anybody confirm that I'm wrong?
Galaxy ace unlock? Did i miss something? I tought you cant flash ace things on mini. However, i got the stock rom here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zx83r9p30zqxd6r

This is a tutorial i helped someone else with:
I think you already got the files, in case not download them again.
--WARNING-- Your phone must be charged to 90% or more, to prevent flash failure.
okay, put your phone in download mode. (power button, home button, and volume down button at same time) connect it to usb, and start odin.
Select ops file,
than select the boot file, named: APBOOT_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
Select Phone file: MODEM_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02.tar.md5
The PDA file: CODE_S5570XXKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
and as last the CSC file: CSC_S5570SERKPI_CL260130_REV02_user_low_true.tar.md5
--MAKE SURE THIS IS RIGHT, AND ELSE YOUR PHONE CAN BE FATAL BRICKED!!!--
okay, all good?
right. click start.
wait till your phone reboots,
THEN, remove your usb cable.
and then the last part: Have fun!

/efs backup can help you only when your IMEI gets corrupted and you don't have gsm network. That means you can boot Android, but you will have problems with baseband.
You have another type of problem, right now efs can't help you, you must boot into system first.

domcale, the app "Galaxy Ace Unlock" made a backup of /dev/block/stl5 (called "stl5.rfs") which I found on memory card.
If I can't boot up in system/CWM/Recovery and I can enter in Download Mode, what this means?
Can't enter recovery? Dunno why you can't, but if you can enter download mode, then you can flash stock rom using Odin
I received the Captivate from a friend of mine who complained that AT&T kept bricking his device through Kies and OTA updates. He never was able to update his device to Froyo. I unlocked the device to work on my carrier and then I tried Kies on 3 different computers (running XP and 7), and my device was stuck on the AT&T screen. Using odin oneclick, I got my firmware back to UCJF6 (stock Eclair). Since then, I've tried nearly every one click available (that hasn't been deleted off the internet), I've tried updating bootloaders and installing a separate kernel before flashing a rom in CWM:

However, the device would not boot into recovery mode after following these steps:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?=1953930).
Anyone have any suggestions? Never have I had such a frustrating phone, and that has some merit after owning a Motorola XT720.
Have u tried this one With Bootloaders http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912.
Then use the regular Odin to flash the .tar file version of the KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A that will give u CWM Recovery and u could proceed from there to a Dev's Rom.

The link you posted contained a good 7 different ROMS. I already had the Designgears Odin one click (Eclair stock with BL) downloaded and that's what I used before flashing anything else on that page. That ROM works and gets me back to stock 2.1 however that's the only ROM that has worked for me.
The link i posted was to my One Clicks in post #3 of that thread.

I flashed using Odin with BL, then i flashed KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A. Now I try restarting my device and booting it into recovery mode, and it doesn't work..? Recovery mode has never worked on this device unless I run an ADB command in CMD or using an app with root access.
I've been holding down all 3 buttons for 3-5 seconds and releasing, tried using the up button too the same way.
If I leave the device running, it stays stuck on the AT&T screen.

Try reflashing corn kernel. And with gb bootloaders, it will always be the 3 buttons combo to get in recovery.

I even tried this and I was unsuccessful.
Okay, I must be missing something here, because none of the oneclicks work except for designgears stock 2.1 ROM (I897UCJF6).
I'm going to start over and i hope someone here can guide me in the right direction:
I'm running stock 2.1 ROM, might as well be straight out of the box. I want to upgrade to 2.3 with GB BL so that I can flash whatever ROM i wish in the future. Kies Mini doesn't work, so that's out of the picture.
The One Clicks that 4-2ndtwin post a link to (both IlluminatedOne's and his own) do not work, meaning that I get stuck at the AT&T screen and it just pauses there. I have no problem getting into Download Mode or Recovery Mode while using the WORKING 2.1 I897UCJF6 ROM, however if I run ANY of the oneclicks other than I897UCJF6, i cannot boot into Recovery Mode.
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, I have the 64bit drivers installed. I have tried Windows XP as well.
Sorry for the double post, but what in the world do I do?
Ok. Go here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30840818
This is the full firmware for i897ucKF1 GB 2.3.3 with Bootloaders included. This is not a One Click. U will use the regular Odin and load the files in their cooresponding tabs of Odin. PDA file in PDA slot of Odin. CSC file in CSC slot. MODEM file in MODEM slot. Pit file in pit, etc. Connect in Download mode. Start. After this u can flash Corn Kernel and proceed.
Some of the Captivates don't like One Clicks. So maybe that is the deal with ur phone.

I upgraded from stock Froyo 2.1 rooted to GB 2.3.5 with bootloaders using this package:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285616.
If you look here at post #3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18370912
it says this:
**Once u have the i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders, it is not necessary to flash bootloaders again. The i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders are backwards compatible, therefore you can flash Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, CyanogenMod, and MIUI Firmware/Roms without the bootloaders included, per the proper install instructions.**
Maybe your boot conflict is because you're trying to load the GB bootloaders again and there are 2 boot files or a glitched boot file. I'm no expert but I tend to go back to the simplest reason when I'm troubleshooting something that should work. Though it seems like a complete wipe and re-partition would delete bootloaders, maybe it doesn't from the sound of the above.
Try the package without bootloaders from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285616
It loads the rom and the kernal with CWM all at once with a full wipe and repartition.
I always remove the Sim and external sd card before flashing and disable my anti-virus when I'm in Winblows.
I hope SOMETHING works for you.

Thanks for the tips, however I'm flashing the stock 2.1 ROM with the BL, so even if I had the GB BL's flashed, wouldn't they be overwritten when I flash a the stock ROM? Nonetheless, I tried flashing without the BL, and it still froze at the AT&T screen..
What happens to ur phone doesnt make sense...idk. Honestly dont get it...
The only thing u can run is stock eclair... and no other plain stock will boot and run ?
Wish i could be of more help.

Have you tried getting into recovery when its stuck at the att screen and clear the cache or whatever other clearing you can do? Maybe CWM will be loaded. If it re-boots while holding the three button recovery method, that may be a good sign. Then at the re-boot, let go of the power button at the next att screen.
Does Odin give it a pass?
Are the roms your flashing rooted before you flash? In other words is Eclair rooted and then all others?
Pull the battery at the att screen?
Or go back into download mode and re-flash if that doesn't work.
I'm just guessing and the last 2 suggestions could be dangerous.......................I don't know.
Edit: Have you tried this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364. It has a root file and a CWM file for Eclair. I tried the links to those and they did connect.

I've found that when applying the stock Eclair ROM, it never says "pass", it says reset--however it works and reboots into 2.1update1. My phone isn't rooted, it has been though. I've realized that some oneclicks say "Re-partition, Full Wipe". My experience is that my phone never enters recovery mode so my phone never wipes anything like the oneclick intends to do. I have not been able to enter recovery mode once I have flashed 2.2 or even 2.3 with or without bootloaders. Do you guys think that's the problem? And if it is, how would I enter recovery if the button combo doesn't work...?

Pulling the battery is not a great idea, it's only when it's "needed".
OP, I'm must say I'm quite confused myself, none of it makes sense.. Although, did you try flashing a 2.2 custom ROM?
I'm thinking you have some either bad or corrupted files/hardware keeping you from flashing but if you're able to flash a custom ROM, then there might be hope.
Also, a JTAG/box might work. They now flash stock GB and could *maybe* overwrite w/e in your phone that is messing with all your flashing.
BTW, it sounds like you are doing the wrong thing to get into recovery. Hold both volume keys, and then press the power button as you would to turn the phone on normally/until the screen turns on. Then, keep holding the volume buttons until you see recovery.
And which at&t screen are you stuck on? The very first one or the boot animation?

That's the strange thing, it will NOT boot into recovery when I flash say KK4. I hold the volume buttons for over 30 seconds, and it just stays at the AT&T screen. It gets stuck before the boot animation, I never see it when I try to flash anything 2.1+. I have booted into recovery mode before, so I know that I am doing the button combo properly.
Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note with 2.3.x (bought from O2 Germany). After it dusted for some months due to broken USB port, I replaced it today and ran the OTA firmware upgrade. Now the phone is stuck on the logo screen.
I have tried to install cwm recovery CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip without knowing that I'd need to install the proper version according to the kernel... well, no way to find out which kernel / os actually runs on the thing, and I can't enter recovery mode, only odin-mode.
Can I somehow dump the userdata or safely upgrade to some stock firmware *without* losing internal data? I dont have backup :/
Thanks

that managed to stop the bootloop, and the phone booted fine. Not sure what the param.zip file does, when I flashed it, it didn't have much of an effect.

now im stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
so i downloaded Kies, and my phone isnt recognized.
what can i do so that i can at least get the phone working again?
Several options - first why did you not flash over recovery?
Second boot into recovery and reset.
Third if you can't get into recovery flash a custom recovery such as twrp and flash a new rom.
Hope this helps

the instructions on the first page of the FireKat rom say to "1. Odin Flash Stock ANK4" so flashing via recovery is not a option.
i no longer have a recovery, during the Odin flash back to stock it failed and deleted my recovery. only thing i could boot into is DL mode.
i ended up having the wrong verison of Kies, had to use a older version. the phone was recognized and i "unbricked" the phone.
Meaning install a custom recovery and a different rom and you should be fine

The first step is just to make sure u r on the most current bootloader.
Can you boot the phone into download mode? If so you can flash recovery and a new ROM.

You should be using keis 3 anything else will fail. If you have download mode Odin back to stock with factory firmware. Tekhd has a step by step on how to root. Download firmware from sammobile and ur back to business. Pick your ROM careful.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
Happened to me once, seems dumb enough, but change USB cable when flashing stock with odin. If you have access to download mode, you have not perma-bricked your device. Might help. Might not
