hello,
I explain what happened.. after a little bad luck I briked my phone, but I have the update.zip to restore the previous state, the problem I have is that update.zip is in my pc.
how can I transfer the update.zip file to my phone if it's bricked?
I tried to go into CWM recovery, and then connect via ADB, but my pc it doesn't detect the phone (I've installed samsung usb drivers from this forum). also I tried the option "mount USB storage" in CWM but my pc doesn't do anything, and I have the sdcard mounted.
what can I do? thanks in advance!
best regards!
Jord
try to put the file on external sd and see if you can flash it thru recovery.
otherwise boot into download mode and flash that son of a ***** !!!
thanks a lot for your answer
the problem is that I have a trip pictures in internal SD card, that's why I'm avoiding to flash again through Download mode. (I have all other data in a backup except the pictures!)
now I've copied the update.zip to the external sd, I've mounted the external sd, but when I chose external_sd folder to apply the update.zip it says that "no files found" all possible methods aren't working
it was worth a shot but i didnt think it would work.
i think to flash from the external sd requires a steam kernel.
anyway, try do do a factory reset and see it that helps. along with formatting cache / dalvik cache
this will not delete items on your internal sd card

Odin doesn't touch the Internal SD, so why should that be an issue?
thanks both for your answers.
the problem is that I have voodoo lagfix enabled, and I can`t disabled it because it says that there is not enough free space on sd card (because of the pictures I want to save), so I think that with voodoo lagfix enabled I can't restore the firmware via odin, unfortunately. I wish I'm wrong
thanks a lot again
Just flash 2.1 with 3 files + re partition checked

my odin shows that they are two devices connected when I connect my phone (because of voodoo lagfix enabled) so.. are you saying that even if in that state, I reflash my stock firmware with repartition enabled, my sdcard data will be fine after reflashing? I ask that because unfortunately I'm not sure
thanks a lot
I tried a new kernel, but forgot to put the flash file on the internal card first. Now my phone wont boot as there is no OS on my phone. I can't mount the USB as it keep saying something about can only mount usb in idle mode. And I cant seem to mount USB in recovery mode either. MTP keep failing in windows.
Only way is somehow to transfer that damn zip file by Odin or some other ways
Any help?
Reboot into recovery got mounts and storage and the last option is Mount USB storage select that plug your sgs in and everything should be fine

Have you tried to plug the cable to a different USB port? Sometimes it resolves the issue as it needs to install new drivers on that port.
No Mount USB

Yea, So working on something very close.
I formated my phone, and then wiped all the data on it after. My problem is I wiped the ROM that I was using at the time (otherwise I would boot back up and replace my deleted ROM using Android file transfer). I've also deleted the new ROM (and everything else) on the internal SD card that I was going to switch to. How can I force a ROM back onto my SD card? I can't boot back into the phone save for Recovery, and dowload screens so I can't enable the phone to "act as a usb device"
I have CWR 6.0.1, and can only boot into that program, and the Samsung Download screen.
I tried to go to mounts but only see system, cache and data. I can mount and unmount those (but they don't change anything. I also have a /sdcard option to mount, but i can't do anything with it, it doesn't switch back and forth between mount and unmount like the others do. I don't see a Mount USB option like you were talking about above.
I am using a VZW GNex (toro)
Macbook running snow lepord.
Go to samfirmware and dowload the 2.3.6 rom for the i9000 anf flash it with odin next install cwm recovery and its done

Is the operating system working normally? If yes, you can use option "connect as media storage" as it isn't enabled by default

Hi azar
Did you tried to transfer using ADB . in your case if you have a custom recovery installed its possible
google this "transfer file using adb from recovery mode"
Hope this helps..
found the solution with recovery mode :
in windows hardware manager : delete adb I9100
in recovery mode press "unmount" : this will reload the phone driver and give full access to internal memory and sdcard on windows explorer
in your windows manager you should now see a warning device called GT-I9100
this worked after I reinstalled drivers (not from kies)
This problems happens because windows detects a new device and downloads this "adb driver" ONLY in recovery mode. So this is not the samsung driver.

try a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power
button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, &
KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

ok, odin will normally get stuck for two reasons, 1) Kies interference, which mean Kies is running in the background or 2) the firmware is corrupt .
But I had lately experienced another, that is the PC, of a sudden I cannot flash on my PC as Odin gets stuck in the middle ( it was good all the time but one morning, it acted up, drove me nuts, till I switched to my laptop and it was good to go ) tried it again on my PC, gets stuck half way.. I still cannot find out the cause of this.
so do try with another Lap top or PC

i have tried to flash pit and kernels with diferent laptops but still it stuck at setup connection.
First and foremost, I think things would be easier if you use a recover system such as TWRP or CWM.
Because AFAIK, if you use the Samsung Recover system, there is no option of formatting your system.
Formatting your system will delete your current ROM,meaning your phone will not reboot until you have flashed a new ROM.
Can someone clarify that the Samsung Recovery System does not have option to format system? I could be giving the wrong info

You do not have to format user data partition (internal sdcard.).
Alternatively you can use adb to push your files to the phone.
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/42332/push-a-rom-to-galaxy-s3-d2att-while-in-twrp-cwm
If you have a Linux, actually Ubuntu installation, everything is much simpler in this regard. You don't have to install any drivers, only android-tools-adb and the phone mounts automatically IIRC. So it is sufficient to type 'adb push yourzip /sdcard' without ''.
Edit:
I am sorry, forgot what I said about adb. That is only possible, if one has the working ROM. For some other phones, Nexus on the first place, it could be possible to do the same and even flash the ROM with fastboot, but not here...

I have trouble with my one, after install cm11 ROM my one did not recognize the internal sdcard,I tried connect to PC and there’s same problem. Reboot the phone in recovery mode and go to file manager I can see the sdcard. Any one can tell me what could I do( i did try format the sdcard).
