I have a Captivate which will go into download mode, but while in Odin will get stuck at "Do not turn off target" which is right after it says setting the PIT file. I have tried it with multiple Odins and on different PCs. This originally happened while I was using Odin to flash a stock firmware to change to a different ROM, It froze up at one point (I believe it was flashing SBL at the time). I don't know what to do, Please help!!!
1. Make sure you pull your SIM card out. I know people say it doesn't matter but all I know is my phone hangs if I forget to take it out.
2. Make sure you start Odin as an administrator (right click on the icon and click "Run as Administrator"). This has also caused issues for me in the past.

I always take the SIM card out when using Odin, and I always run it as administrator. I think it is getting stuck when partitioning the flash memory or something like that...
I have the SAME problem... my phone is stuck in boot loop, how can i fix it?

My problem isn't with connection, My problem is Odin one click stock just sits there when it says "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!" Which is right after "Set PIT file..". I have used the exact same one-click many times in the past without any problems.

I am in the same situation, the worst part is that it is my friend's phone. :/
I tried flashing new bootloaders through Odin... And it froze up half way through. Now I can't even get into download mode. :/ I think it's probably time to get a new phone...
I just had this problem and solved it by trying different usb ports on my machine.

Hi folks,
this evening i connected my S4A to my Mac and Kies told me there was an update and i decided to let Kies do what Kies can do (what seemed to be a _big_ failure). Kies messed up while uploading the new firmware to the device after just a couple of percent. After a reboot I now see a screen telling me: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I tried an 'recovery mode' with the recovery-code Kies provided. But this gets also stuck at just a few percent.
My next try was to use Odin with the approriate firmware i managed to download after somer hours (man - some servers are really slow theses days) but then i got the message about a missing PIT. =/
Does anyone have an idea of how i should continue from here on?
Regards,
Skavaer

Can you get into download mode at all? And why Kies? Is that all you have is Mac? I would say if you can get into download at all and have access to a windows device to Odin back to stock MF1. Sorry about your luck though

I can get into download mode and I already tried with Odin in a VirtualBoxed Win7 with the current FW .. (Odin in a VirtualBoxed Win7 to me usually works fine) .. but Odin wanted a PIT.
Why Kies? In my naivity I didn't even in my dreams thought Kies could mess up this bad =/.
Now my dumb question: where can I get a (3-part) stock MF1? Aunt Google was not helpfull.
EDIT: It finally worked - I just had to use the original USB-Cable ..
Good news there! Its amazing how much the cable can make a difference

Is there an update? Kies is telling me it does not support an update for my current version (MF3)

Exactly the same happened to me. I managed to return to previous state by flashing stock ROM i9295XXUBMK3.

However my issues with no sound and random reboots remain. How annoying it is to reboot phone once or twice everytime you want to make a phone call. And byebye receiving phonecalls.. If anyone knows solution to this, I'd be glad to try it.
Hi xda!
Short version:
I tried rooting my phone, and now have these three lines diplayed:
RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I have looked in the following threads for people with the same errormessage:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611635
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617754
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2620592
And several more around the web in general.
The reason these don't help me is Odin doesn't display my phone, I've tried with odin 3.09 and 1.85, but neither displays my phone. I'm sorry to be bothering you with this problem, but I've come to the conclusion that someone more qualified than me might help.
If you are kind enough to try helping, here is some additional information about the phone, and the problem:
Samsung note 3 sm-n9005
I first tried this tutorial:
http://galaxynote3root.com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/
but meeting the problem that "install from zip" didn't apear at step 11, I decided to go for the auto version.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-note-3-xda-developer-tv/
and here, after flashing over the tar file with odin 1.85 and restarting, the explained errorscreen popped up. When connecting the note 3 to the computer with the same cable as previously, odin 1.85 and 3.09 are both unable to display that the phone is connected, giving me quite the issue when most fixes to these problems is moving over original software etc.
Here is the following fixes I have attempted:
restarting the phone
trying out 1.85 and 3.09 of odin.
connecting to a different computer, then trying those two versions of odin.
different buttoncombinations (they all just end up rebooting the phone to the errorscreen)
and now - asking qualified people for help, I am clueless.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Are you plugging the phone in first and than odin as administrator if that don't work reinstall usb driver u might have to factory reset in recovery and than install driver.

After trying this the problem remains the same, sadly:/ thanks anyway
Is creating a linux partition and trying with this "heimdal" program worth a shot?
First what you need to do is check your baseband version (settings>general>about---Baseband Verision). It will be the last 3 digits on the baseband. If it says MJ5 you can find www.kingoapp.com to root your Note 3 N9005A. Website takes a while to load but that is the easiest root method for the MJ5 note 3. The Mi9 note 3 can be rooted using the Odin method. Also make sure your phone has USB debugging enabled. To enable go to settings>general>about and tap your build number 5 times. Once you have done that hit the back button and go to developer options and check USB Debugging. You will also need to be in download mode. To get into download mode turn your phone of, Hold volume down, home, and power. Once it gets to a warning screen press volume up and plug into odin. You may also need to download the samsung drivers on your computer.
If kingo root don't help than yes only if you baseband version last numbers are mj5 you can go for heimdal follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
if u cant get the files here's another link

Before you start read a couple times
Good luck
Allright, lovely with some ideas I haven't tried myself yet, I will read a bunch about it first and then try it out.
Thanks a bunch for your responses, it is much appriciated!
My wife was gonna install the latest update (Lollipop) today and her phone was encrypted and so she decrypted it to prepare it for installation. At 85% the phone said that it failed and that she had to do a factory reset and so she did but now it seems the bootloader or something messed up. I've tried flashing it with Odin and with the PIT file but with no success. I could really use some help here buddies...
I attached some pictures of what I see when I try to flash it in Odin and what it looks like in recovery.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

You tried flashing the boot loader thru Odin am I right? Did you try flashing the whole Firmware thru Odin? Did you put the phone on Download mode? Remember to take the battery out then boot to download mode by pressing and holding volume down+home+power button for about 3 seconds then let them go, phone will boot into Download mode, the connect your phone to pc, then Open Odin, make sure the Odin :COM is on light blue meaning they are both communicating, then go to www.sammobile.com and download the latest firmware for your device model, and follow the instructions, it have to work, but your phone will be restored to factory, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Are you sure you checked everything? try from a scratch, make sure you download the firmware for your device model, a lot of users get confuse with the bunch of letters after N910... also try a different Odin like 3.09, remember to check what I told you before in Odin, also if you wanna give a try, try flashing an old kitkat firmware, all we need is to boot your phone, good cheers:fingers-crossed:
If you think I helped you in anything please Press the Thanks Button, I will appreciate it too, Thanks:highfive:

Hey just to let u know I was reading too about ur problem, this is what I found, you gonna uninstall Samsung drivers from ur pc, under control panel, and reinstall them, or let windows search for the drivers it will install them too, after you do all that, try again flashing via Odin, remember to follow all the steps, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

Tried it. Thanks for your helps so far. I'm beat I've been at it all day. Gonna give it a go again tomorrow. Thanks again man.
It may be stupid question but did you flash 3 files ROM or just one file (PDA if I remember well)? If it was second option, then you shouldn't use PIT.

Just one file via AP in Odin.
Why don't you just download KIES and run recovery through that it is much more simple and reliable

Kies doesn't register it... it just says connecting. I tried to kies 3 and 2.6 just to make sure.
It sounds like the issue is with your USB cable maybe try a different USB port preferred in the back of the system not one upfront. Make sure you have mock locations and USB debugging on. The only reason keys wouldn't detect your device is if the drivers are incorrect
There's a feature "Reactivation Lock" in security settings. Make sure it is unchecked. It is a security feature to prevent anyone from changing your system Rom.

so im on oreo, i decide to downgrade to bra8 to upgrade to a newer version of oreo, i odin back, but while downgrading firmware my cat drops mt laptop and interupted it, now its bricked to the error occured while upgrading software please use smart switch mergency recovery, i did that but it says my device is not support for initalzing to rstore it, im guessing samsung removed that feature completely, is there any way i can fix this!??
No problem, start the update with Odin again. You just have to press vol down + power 7 sec and put the cell phone back in download.
Vol. Down+ bixby+power, when start vol up
When using emergency recovery be sure to use capital letters for any letters in your serial number. Good luck with your soft brick.

I have the same problem.. Getting that error. But I'm able to access my phone perfectly fine. Only problem is now Samsung apps saying my phone is rooted and I get error when trying to get in recovery mode, download mode or safe mode. So there is no way for me to Odin again. Phone is working 99.9% good with few errors. Let me knw if u have the solution. Thanks

a bit late reply but nevertheless for others who have the same problem like you and me, just solved it. so what I did: after my odin update was interrupted accidentally my phone also showed please use smart switch emergency recovery screen. downloaded smart switch but could not emergency recover (unsupported device problem - seems to me smart switch could not see my phone properly). after searching the web (that's how I found this thread ) and not finding any solutions i tried different tricks and found out that odin sees my phone but cant initialize firmware update since phone was not in download mode (after bixby+dwnload btn+pwr and pressing continue, the screen returned to please use smart switch emergency recovery screen) but I did not give in and did the following to successfully update my firmware:
1. start odin (place respective files in respective fields of your firmware), you wont be able to initialize the process while please use smart switch emergency recovery screen is shown;
2. connect your phone to odin and press bixby+dwnload btn+pwr combination the way to see options - volume down to shut down the phone (but you wont be able to shut it down it will return to that terrible screen) and press volume up to continue, after pressing the continue button you will hear that connection sound and this time you will be able to initialize the process and update your firmware.
good luck everybody on restoring your soft bricked Samsung devices (mine was unlocked note 8 (SM-N950U1).
