The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

Try reinstalling your drivers to get your phone connected.
But I'm pretty sure you'll have to partition an SD card. Your internal memory sounds dead.

Amazing Reply! but Still need help

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.

Almost Done

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.

I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed

Edit:
Had the exact same thing happen to me, but its just a bad flash.
Download the JM6 zip (in the development forum) and flash it via Odin. after the device has rebooted, if the previous apps havent been deleted, go into recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot again

Read my above post. Go into download mode (volume down + home + power) you'll still have the same image but the phone WILL be in download mode. Then flash your previous firmware and you're sorted.

You probably got that by messing with the kernel. Fund the zImage from the firmware, extract it with a .tar extractor then use something like heimdall to flash the kernel and it should work.

Hi. I'm looking for solution for my problem but nothing has helped me. I cannot restart mu GTab or put it in download mode. I always land into Android system recovery <3e>.
My problem: I cannot restart my GTab anymore. It started when I wanted to do a backup with ROM Manager. Unfortunately EURO TAB isn't supported yet. Then I want to find out whether nandroid backup is possible. From ROM manager I booted into recovery. But there isn't nandroid backup. And now I cannot boot GTab anymore. Every time I restart it brings me back to Android system recovery <3e>. I would be grateful for every solution.
Help please

Having the same problem too... anyone can help?
If you see Phone-!-Pc on the Tab screen it is the download mode.
You can reflash it using Odin, however, you will need to do full Rom flash. I had similar problem and solved it by replashing.
I followed the latest guide published in this forum and Roto-JME rom with reformatting of internal sd.

Hey guys,
I tried to manually update my tab to Gingerbread today via Odin, but it kept hanging on select partition (I discovered I used the wrong PIT for the firmware I was going to flash, but as I didn't select the firmware yet that shouldn't be a problem). At last I decided to quit Odin (which might have been stupid...) and try it again. Then it kept haning even earlier, so I tried to restart the device in download mode. However, whatever I try it keeps giving the Phone ! PC sign. If I try to just boot, if I try to go into recovery mode or if I try to go into download mode. I saw a lot of possible ways to solve the problem, but my PC doesn't recognize the tab anymore. If I connect it, it does give the "usb device connected" sound, but there is a popup which sais "USB Device not recognized. One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message". I already tried to reinstall the driver but it doesn't work. Also Odin and Heimdall don't detect any device.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? Maybe taking the battery out? (for which I have to buy a new triangle screwdriver, so I need to know if it could possibly work first. It takes some weeks to order such a thing I think...)
EDIT: I played around a bit with the drivers again, and suddenly both Heimdall and Odin recognized it. However Odin stopped recognizing it again. Then I pressed "read PIT" in Heimdall, which worked. After that the device started booting up to the Samsung logo animation and then powered off again. Now it doesn't do anything anymore, not even showing the Phone ! PC screen. I'll charge it overnight (maybe it's gone empty during the process), so I hope that helps.....
In some strange way, the phone works again..... So never mind my post above.

[Q] Captivate Soft Brick - Need a rooted Odin solution.

Hi
My brother (a no-geek) has a captivate, and lives in a different city (I donot have physical access to the phone). He visited me few weeks ago and I installed CM-7 on his phone, i know my bad. Some of his videos were not working, so i asked him to update to the latest CM-7 build. He download the build, saved it on int sd_card and used ClockWork Recovery to install the selected ROM. Upon reboot it entered in never-ending splash screen. I found couple of odin ROMs, and posted him link, we tried to flash them, but no good.
Status --
The COM ports are detected, but the process at times halts at <SET PARTITION> at times at <SET UP>... at times all thread completed successful would show up as soon as hitting START.
I dont have a captivate, can someone please suggest a sure shot solution and post me a link for ODIN, with a root rom. I am using Team Whiskey on my Vibrant, and I prefer stable modified ROM because of its features and power.
I can explain him the process on skype using desktop sharing, but the ROM should be good. Thankyou very much in advance.
if he can access recovery, try wiping everything thru recovery then start again
Phone is in Soft Brick state.
Phone is in Soft Brick state. So i cannot boot into the phone and go to CW recovery.
What he needs is just a stable usb connection that's how he got to this point, bad communication between the phone and computer. On cm7 I beleive you need the nexus s drivers installed. Also make sure it's plugged into a usb port that's attached directly to the motherboard (back of pc, port 1 on laptop)
@studacris
I think the drivers are already installed good. The connection is also good, as i can the COM port detection in the ODIN, with one of the boxes changing its colour from NO-COLOUR to YELLOW-COLOUR.
I think the ROM builds are not good. They go action-less during flashing, actually nothing (progress bar) comes on phone, it keeps showing the Downloading screen, endlessly. Odin usually is stuck at at <SET PARTITION> at times at <SET UP>...
Can someone post a link for a test one click odin. Well i would prefer one click.
You did try DG's JF6 one click, thats the only one I use, how are you establishing dowload mode on the phone or are you even doing this.

if you could do all that, why would you need to send back for a new phone ? If you could do any of that, the OP wouldn't be in a non-functioning predicament

+1 If you read the OP the problem is he can't flash back to stock he is having problems flashing anything period, @ the OP correct me if I'm wrong but I have a strong hunch that you are leaving out some pretty crucial steps, I have a feeling that you are not putting the phone into download mode, I also believe that you are gonna need to make a jig and pay a visit to your brother to help him out especially if its bricked the same way mine just was flashing with cm7 roms. But if you are getting a com port to show without having to put in download mode then you are farther along in the boot process. If this is the case you may be able to adb into recovery do a full wipe excluding /boot and reflash. Will the PC recognize the phone with it in its current boot locked state? If so then recovering should be somewhat of a breeze.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829392 read this post it may help otherwise there are tons others
- I am getting to downloading mode by
--- pressing the "vol +" and "vol -" buttons and then connecting the usb cable to the computer.
--- then removing the cable, after the phone enters the download mode. Then, start the odin and connect the phone through usb cable again. The odin detects the phone on one of the COM port.
- I havent tired wiping the phone through recovery. But i need to get to recovery first. I dont know in a soft brick state if i can get into recovery.
- regarding getting back to 2.1... i would like to flash to the latest version. Kies update is not an option for me, as i not in US.
This phone was purchased from craiglist, i used one click root method to root it and the same script an option to get the unlock codes. After that i experimented a lot on the phone with various scripts. Last i was using congnition on it. Then saw CM7, i liked it on my vibrant, so i flashed it on my captivate (which i got for my brother). Now i have to get back to some stable modified ROM... I am thinking about trying Srendipity or cog ROM... but before than i have to install a rooted stock ROM.
That is the story and issue... but thanks a lot for help. Any more suggestions.

Try putting the phone into download mode after you open Odin. Which version of Odin is this? Also, installing the nightly build of CM7 again often fixes the boot loop on the newer builds. I would try that if you can get to recovery.

I can only enter Recovery mode

Hi,
I installed a bootloader with Odin And after that I needed to Install a GBOOT with Odin but I can't enter dowload mode I only can enter Recovery mode. What do I need to do ?
I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990
What phone do you have?
What recovery version are you running?
How do you get into recovery?
A tad more info would be useful please.
9. Whatever I flash, I end up in Recovery! What should I do?
Flash stock Vibrant bootloaders, then ODIN to stock JFD. You should be good to go here onwards... I only had this issue when I tried changing bootloaders over MIUI/CM7. Couldn't replicate on Samsung ROMs... (AS QUOTED ON THE LINK PAGE)
Thank you for your responds
The recovery mode I run is CWM v 5.0.2.7 .
The thing is Odin can't recognize my phone because I can't enter Downloading mode so I can't flash that.
Hope you can help me further
if you got any rom's stored on your sdcard you could try to flash that and then try to enter download mode, otherwise you could go to "mounts and storage" and mount usb storage there and move over an rom to flash.
Try to flash phone via cwm. Now we have jvz deodexed version on forum. Maybe after it will be ob.

I've tried to flash a rom from my SD card.
@Emek can you explain it more clearly. I don't understand it.
Grtz William !
There is a rom on here you can flash using CWM. On the forum is a JVZ that you can flash without using ODIn, slap that on your sd card, goto recovery and install from sd and hopefully that should fix it
Sorry of being such a noob. What's a JVZ and which one do I need to flash.
Grtz William
I flashed this one Click
And It still doesn't work...
edit: Tried this one as well Click
It still doesn't work. I hope my phone isn't Bricked. Is he ?
They wont work as you need the correct gingerbread bootloaders installed first.
You ned to make or buy a jig then you can get the phone to access download mode again, and then using ODIN 1.83 reflash everything inlcuding the bootloader.
Jig instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Failing that, see if you can buy a jig from ebay
Ok thank you. I ordered yesterday a JIG from ebay.
What do I need to do then. What do I need to flash exactly ... I don't want to screw it up another time. I liked the MIUI rom but he didn't recognize the external SD so that's the reason why I flashed other bootloaders.
So I would like to have MIUI with working SD card.
If the SD card doesn't work I won't to flash the original Android.
Grtz William
I would download and flash this for starters, it contains a bootloader as well make sure you click the bootloader section in ODIN.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380402
Then you can flash a custom rom afterwards, but dont change the bootloader once it works!

I bought a JIG so I can get into download mode right now so then I flashed the ROM that Buttwad proposed. But ODIN said the proces of flashing failed and no when I connect my phone to my pc my pc even don't recognize my phone so I can't put anything on my phone. What do I need to do. I am desperate.
u can acces the phone sd in recovery..
Am I blind or have you actually FLASHED a Vibrant bootloader over Galaxy S??
Seems like you have issues with key combinations. Try using the Volume down with power button and see if it could get you to the download mode.
Also, if your device is being detected by the phone, use "adb reboot download" to reboot the phone into download mode.
Here is the situation: I had the MIUI rom on my phone but my phone didn't find my external SD. So i searched a bit on the internet and I found a guy who had the same problem and he said that I needed to flash the Vibrant bootloaders so I did that. But then everytime I started up my phone I came in Recovery mode. I couldn't even acces downoading mode anymore. So first I tried to flash two other roms(This one And this onebut the problem stayed the same. So I bought a JIG and then I tried to put this bootloaderon my phone but Odin said ERROR after a while. So then I tried to flash this one.
But now I can't even enter recovery mode. When I start up my phone I see a pictogram with my phone and the pc with the sign that I can't connect them.
And my computer also don't find my phone anymore so I can't flash anything anymore.
Please Help !
I will give 8 euros to the person who can tell me step by step(easy) what I need to do to make my phone working.

And Now im stuck on boot logo no matter how hard I try. I did try flashing the wipe ROM (Pre-rooted Open Europe 2.3.6 LC1), I also tried flashing the CF-Root file but still no luck. PC Odin says failed in between the process!!

First this:Turn off the device and pull the battery, wait for 30 seconds and try to get in recovery mode, if that works reflash CheckRom. If that doesn`t work pull the battery again and get in downloadmode and connect to the pc and see if Odin recognizes the phone. If it does flash any stock rom.

I tried the exact same thing you mentioned and no, it doesn't go into recovery mode. and yes, it does go into download mode but it fails to flash. I tried 2-3 different firmware versions of 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and I'm pretty sure the downloaded files aren't corrupt!! I don't know what to do...
The only thing working is getting to download mode but then thats no point since I can't flash any ROM.

There are threads about reviving recovery i think on xda, haven`t needed them so far but look around and you will find them. If you can`t restore recovery or downloadmode then it`s off to the shop i guess
Does Odin recognize your phone, what exactly goes wrong when flashing with Odin?

"Battery Too Low, Can't Download"
Now there's another problem.
Not only I Can't flash anything, I can't even get to Download Mode because the battery is low.
When I press the Vol Down + Power + Home key, I get "Low Battery, Can't Download" in red font.
I left my phone on charge through the AC port and I had no idea it wouldn't charge. The only thing was that my phone was exteremly hot but still with zero battery. I even tried plugging the phone through the USB cable but still no luck.
I removed battery for few minutes upto 30 mins and put it back in and plugged in the charger but all I see is the empty battery symbol keeps flashing every 5 seconds.
Is there any way I can charge my battery and get back to download mode so I could try flashing the stock kernel to get past the boot screen? I even tried plugging in the USB jig that I used with my SGSII previously, but it was of no use as well.
Please Help!!!
your only option is to use a universal charger external, or borrow another note to put your battery in.
once your battery is full you can carry on the previous steps
good luck

i will probably take it to best buy because i dunt know anyone that owns a note.. only I'm the cool one
hopefully i can charge my battery at best buy and then go on with the process!!
Hey,
I managed to buy an external charger and I was able to go to Download Mode again.
After that I tried to flash stock kernel (stockKernelXXLA4.tar) And Odin said "Pass".
After that I was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Logo again.
I'm not sure what to do now!!
Please help.
Is there anything else that I could flash?
Even though I flashed a stock kernel, I still see a yellow exclamation mark..
PLEASE HELP, I NEED MY NOTE TO COME BACK TO LIFE!
Sorted this mess out!!!
I flashed "N7000JPLPD_N7000OJPLP7_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar" And the phone now works!!!
Stock kernels didn't do the work for me, but the official ICS release did.
Thanks to all that contributed in the thread.
is the new release can do ?
i'm using the LPT / LQ2, and the flashing process very long like stuck in firmware upgrade process. The bar just like never move for half our alrd.
how long you take for yours ?

[Q] Bricked Phone With Safestrap Recovery

I'm a newbie on XDA so pardon anything that I might do "wrong"
So I was using safestrap recovery to play around with some custom roms, and I was going to switch to a new rom so I thought I was going to delete everything from Rom-Slot 1, but actually ended up going to the section where you can check off everything you want to delete from the the rom. I ended up checking all except micro SD card, and ended up deleting all the data from the stock rom by accident. I tried restarting the phone but all I see now is a stuck "Galaxy Note 3" on boot-up.
I've tried using Odin (with the BL AP CP CSC and PIT files ) to flash back and Oneclickbin.exe, but none work. They all give me a fail message shortly (or a couple minutes) after I press start
Additional notes:
Rooted with kingo root
I got the OTA update on the stock rom (The one with the black stock keyboard)
Please Help!!!
How do I fix this?!?!
UPDATE: Problem not fixed, but when I try to turn on the device, it now says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I plugged my phone in the computer and kies can't connect to the device....

Are you using Kies 3 or just the regular Kies?
Try putting the phone in download mode yourself, then plug into kies 3
Still no

I'm using Kies 3 and tried emergency recovery. It didn't work. Kies 3 actually doesn't even recognize my note 3 as a supported device, but I attempted the recovery anyway. I can get to step in the recovery where the recovery window on my computer says, "Do Not disconnect your device from the PC" but the loading bar never goes past 0%, then after a while it'll give me another fail message...
