[Q] Frozen while updating

Hey guys,
I have an urgent problem... I was just trying to update to an older ROM via Odin 1.3, and for some reason the update seems to have stopped. Its currently at
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> cache.rfs
<ID:0/003> dbdata.rfs
<ID:0/003> factoryfs.rfs
with the bar 1/2 way on my phone/screen and not having moved for a good 15 min. Shall I remove it the phone and pull the batt? I uninstalled the voodoo lagfix right before so i'm not sure if it has anything to do with it.

First of all how did you uninstall it? ANd it shouldnt interfere.
Anyway - no point in waiting. Pull out, try again, etc.

I agree, post back with any problems, even if you get the 'phone-!-pc' or 'BRICKED SCREEN' you should still be ok.
Can u manualy get into download mode by the vol, home and power buttons or ADB?

Thanks guys, pulled the battery.. but when I did the phone didn't turn on, but luckily download mode still worked.
After that, flashed the PIT on its own, with "Re-Partition" checked, followed by flashing everything else (minus PIT) with re-partition not checked. For some reason no other way worked.
Thanks again.

i would hate to say bricked but it might be!

hey i have samsung captivate i897, and just flashed the ultimate rom to try out, well tried to switch to different rom. When i went to flash back to stock using odin one click to jf6 firmware its stuck in download mode and wont finish. Phone will not boot just goes to black screen and will not go into recovery mode. I can get it to download mode, but it gets stuck at after the loading bar moves a tiny bit.
Ive tried it three times now with no luck, ive tried pulling sim and battery out for awhile and then try but download mode gets stuck when i try to flash firmware. Anybody got any ideas?
This is odin status messages i get:
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/003> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

What is your build number, located under battery, mine its 1008
You can try this, keep battery our of your phone for a couple of minutes. Then try again. i have gotten stock st that point before. A couple of tried got me through

mine is 1006, why is the build number important?

It can be but I think your build should work with odin

There its more than one odin
Look through this thread hopfully it will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911

ok got to work finally, left battery and sim out for over ten mins and switched usb slots on my pc and now it worked. Its weird ive been using the same odin and been flashing roms with odin and clockwork since i got the phone last july and odin has never got stuck like that before. Had me worried for the past 2 hours, lol.

Same thing happened to me like 2 weeks ago

a JIG wont help you out of a hardware brick.... only a JTAG setup can... and those are pretty expensive.

[Q] is there a way back?

Good Day All :
I started up with Odin so i could update the Tab, but the program closed down about 1-2 sec. after. When I tried to turn on the tablet, there was ... no reaction (!)
Tried to go in "download mode", but no reaction or by factory-reset. just black screen ...
i also tried "Recovery Code" (Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release) but its same no reaction.
Can it really be true that I have ended up with a piece of useless plastic?
Pls your help is vevry important
thanks

Do not panic.
Better connect to wall charger for an hour first; then try recovery mode (volume up + power).
Regards
Kongar

thanks for the reply.
it was in the wall charger for an 7 hour . i just try ... nothing happend ...

It sounds like you have stopped it in the middle of loading the bootloaders... That almost the only way to hard brick your tab...
If you can't get it recognised by ODIN then the only thing available is to JTag it. You need to send it in to someone who can do this - look around the general forum, there was someone there doing it - most phone repair places will say it needs motherboard replaced, expensive.
If its still in warranty, you might be able to send back to samsung, tell them it happened while flashing through Kies.... Don't tell them you flashed with ODIN.
Seems like a few people are doing this...
Good Luck...

ok, now after i update the PIT the GT is boteabel but its hange in the startup page GALAXY Tap.
Note : Every time i but the GT in the Dawnloading Mode and try to flash a rom i get faild in kernel stage.

Help with my possible SOFT BRICK note

Hi
I bought me a 2nd hand galaxy note yesterday but was on 2.3.6 Ginger minger so this morning proceeded to update to ICS via KIES
stuck on 3% for 10 mins then on 4% reported an error, ever since I have been unable to follow any recovery options
Problem I have now is running Odin 1.85 with "N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5"
I am only able to boot into download mode not recovery but when I connect the USB cable, big fat nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone help me please
PS: I know how tetchy mods can be when you post in wrong section so apologies in advance
Cheers
EFC

if you connect the phone on download mode to your PC, does odin detect your note??
you can flash ICS even if the screen shows nothing as long as it gets detected by odin

Nope, and nor do I get the windows noise when you have plugged in a USB device like a mouse or something!!
I have re-installed the Samsung USB drivers twice both times it said they were already installed but I done it anyway
Does this sound fixable? Would a phone shop only try same recovery options that I am trying?

ok, let me get this straight..
you have download mode, no recovery right?
if you boot into download mode, then connect the phone, it doesn't get detected (blank screen) ?? have you tried charging the device then trying to connect again? or simply remove the battery then re-insert?

Does not go blank says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
Battery was full before I started this so I doubt its in need of a charge
Odin does not report any connecting in the Message box, tried on a different PC even installing "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" but still nothing
So I can asume that the issue with not connecting to Odin is with the phone
Question is.....what is my next move?
Thanks for your help much appreciated

I have given up, been trying since 10 this morning
Samsung has gone right down in my estimation due to this, all I done was install KIES and was when phone connected it prompted me to install an updated firmware, then got error at 4%
Never had this with HTC so if I cant get a warranty replacement am screwed!!!

Was Your phone locked or something before this happened ?
Maybe you could try a new Rom File...

I have tried 3 different firmwares 2 of them FAIL in Odin while 1 gets stuck on "setup connection"
It is in Warranty so are Vodafone going to want to attempt a repair or will it be a straight swap?

I think it will be a repair as its not a hardware fault I think.
Use ODIN 1.85. Maybe a last try before returning it to Service Centre ?
And don't change any option in ODIN. I think you have changed it.. Maybe I am wrong lol... Just wondering...

try to flash any custom kernel only with odin, not firmware, and if the kernel flashed, try to go to recovery and then full wipe and flash any rom.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

restart your phone again in download mode b4 trying again in ODIN... donot continue where its stuck

[HOW TO] Bypassing Samsung Re-Activation Lock on Galaxy S5!

How to: BYPASS REACTIVATION LOCK ON THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S5!
So have you done a factory reset and gotten a reactivation lock login screen, prompting you to log in to your previously used Samsung Account?
Well follow these steps!
As always, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device, follow at your own risk! There is a 99% chance this will work, but for the 1% that doesn't, don't blame me!
Okay, let's start.
Step 1: Find your stock firmware at sammobile.com. This will require you to sign up for a sammobile account. Find THE ANDROID 5.0 FIRMWARE and download it. Unless you have a premium account, download speeds will be slow. Please be patient, as these files are very big.
Links:
Links have not been postedd (for the most part) more updates coming soon, but for now, just look it up on SamMobile.
AT&T S5: http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS5/SM-G900A/4.4.2/SM-G900A 4.4.zip
The AT&T file is a higher speed download, thanks to galaxys5root.com. The only available firmware for it is 4.4.2.
Step 2: Download Odin. You can use whichever version that is v3 or above. Other versions may not support your device. To download it, go to odindownload.com
Step 3: Extract Odin and run the odin.exe file as an administrator.
Step 4: Plug in your phone to your computer and boot your phone into download mode. (power off, then press volume down, home button, then power button at the same time.)
Step 5: BE SURE TO EXTRACT YOUR DOWNLOADED STOCK ROM FILE FROM SAMMOBILE! After that, go into Odina nd click PDA (or PA depending on version) and choose your extracted file.
Now, click start with your phone in download mode and plugged into your computer.
Almost done! Now boot up your phone after ODIN says reset or success, and on the first screen there should be accessibility settings. Click on that, and go into vision. Go down to text to speech options. Select Google Text to speech options, making sure it is checked. Click the settings icon next to it. Go into Install Voice Data, and click the three dots at the top, and click open source licenses. Press and hold on the website link, the first one, that starts with http://
Now click the search icon in the top right corner, and MAKE SURE YOU USE THE "INTERNET" BROWSER. Now hit the three dots and go into settings. Go into manage accounts, and click Samsung Account. Log into it with an existing Samsung Account, or make a new one. Once done, and signed in, you can go ALL the way back to the first screen. Now follow the setup steps and when you get to the Samsung Login screen again, log in with the Samsung account that you logged in with in the browser.
Any issues?
-Try redownloading the SAMSUNG USB MOBILE DRIVERS for the Galaxy S5. Do so by looking it up on google. (FOR ODIN PROBLEM) Then retry.
-Accessibility Doesn't show up? Try flashing Android 4.4.4 (risky, use as last resort)
-For more details, go to this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qE9gRhkqPA It will show you the steps after you flashed the stock rom, but it won't show the ODIN part.

Hope you enjoy!

A combination of black, bold black, and for important parts, bold red usually works well

If you have older firmware which can use this bypass. Probably on newer ones this is fixed

aaaaand what if the first android release on the phone was 5.1.1...... stupid how my thread got locked and i got sent here after i specified that this won't work for me.... great help xda, just fantastic.

Since odin has changed the way it loads the recovery file... you may want to change your instructions to include how we need to load BL, AP, CP, and CSC instead of PDA
on a side note, I cant get mine to even install. keep getting SW REV CHECK FAIL : (aboot)Fused 4 > Binary 1 on screen and it fails in odin.

Ok managed to flash 5.1.1 firmware but still stuck with frp.
I ran a settings otg apk and try to add my samsung account clicking add account then selecting samsung account... But pressing samsung account does nothing for me when it should prompt for my log in credentials. Im stumped at this point. And in security settings the recovery lock is listed as off.
Do i need to reflash the orriginal lolipop firmware again and try disabling tye recovery lock that way? Ive also read that downgrading to kitkat firmware may be a beter idea since kitkat has some options that wetnt patched till lolli...
Any advise appreciated.
Thanks.
