Hi All,
I tried to flash my phone from VZW firmware to unlocked firmware and my odin3b has been stuck on system.img.ext4.
I realized I hadn't installed the samsung drivers the first time around. I attempted to restart the phone as it was stuck on system.img.ext4 - following that my phone shows the screen:
"Software Update Failed Your device didn't update successfully. Use the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update."
I'm unable to re-boot or do anything, when I hold power, bixby, volume down it presents me the warning screen before entering download mode. If I press Volume Up or Volume Down - I hit the same warning screen I typed up above. I am able to view the barcodes by pressing the bixby screen...
When I went back to Odin it still showed as "Added" when I plugged in the phone. I attempted the process again but it's still stuck on the same part.
Anybody have any suggestions of what I should attempt? I've been reading but have been unable to see any solutions.
Thanks for reading.
I Havnt played with the note 9 in terms of flashing or rooting as I have the SM-N960W Canadian Snapdragon version and there is no way yet. I've used Odin many times to flash and it can be fussy for a few reasons, I rooted my Galaxy S7 and nexus 5 and a few others. My tips would be....
First Uninstall Samsung driver.
Then Download "usbdeview" on your pc and Uninstall any previous USB connections labeled Android or Samsung or related, as this will allow you to start off as if it's a fresh connection.
Re-Install Samsung USB drivers, then....
Plug in Using stock OEM Samsung Note USB cord and wait for it to connect.
If no luck try a different USB port. USB 2.0 May work if your using USB 3.0 and it isn't.
Try a different version of odin, there are many, also running odin as administrator may help but not necessarily for sure.
If all this fails try on another computer or laptop. Make sure you only select the proper/necessary options in odin.
It sucks when things don't go as planned but that's the risk you take when you don't stay stock & update OTA. The steps I've written for you have fixed any issues I have ever run in to with odin & flashing but if yours was an incomplete flash and disconnected or interrupted mid way you may be stuck with an expensive paperweight I'm sad to say. Try contacting Samsung for proper odin version & odin settings, I wish you the best of luck. I am in no way a mobile phone technician but I've rooted many phones and always made it work. I hope you can too!
Best of luck!
flash back your official firmware to get back access to fone
if none of this works use smartswitch( it will reinstall drivers)
then tey again with odin 13.3 b using u1 firmware
also to get to dl mode power off the fone. if you have access to recovery ( reboot fone with vol down Bixby and power and quicly change to vol up bixy and pwr when you see it reboot)go there and choose shutdown phone. or let battery die and charge it for 10 mins and do while phone is off :
hold vol down and Bixby with one had and with the other plug the usb cable from rhe pc to fone.
The same problem happened with me. I wonder if anyone knows how to solve it?

Try your luck with different odin versions, different cable, different pc, different firmwares
As above first step Samsung USB drivers and Samsung USB cable .

Hello all,
The past day or so I have been attempting to install a fresh custom rom on my vzw tablet. I presently have a stock copy of DJ11 that is rooted installed.
When I put the device into download mode and connect to the computer, Heimdall (version 1.1.1) gives me the following error
Failed to access device. Error: -12
I have tried reinstalling the drivers, both off of the tablet and from the ZAdiag program included with Heimdall and the error persists. I have tried many different combinations of opening/closing heimdall/disconnecting and reconnecting the tablet while in download and out of download, and I have tried on two different PCs. Nothing seems to fix the problem.
I have seen another post on the forums about this particular issue, but the method of resolution that user was able to make work has not worked for me.
It seems to me that the tablet itself is to blame, like it is locking Heimdall out.
Basically at this point, any rom that requires use of Heimdall to install is not going to work. I do have CWM3 and the Verizon Bootstrapper installed, so if anyone has a link to a completely stock copy of the rom that comes in a zip, please link it as I would like to try that method of installing a new rom.
Thank you for any insight at all!!
Have you checked with odin to make sure the tablet is not connecting?
I had the same problem and pluged the device in another usb port, then hold power, volume down e home and after a while odin showed the yellow bar.
then disconnected it and put in another usb port, after that heimdall found it.
and to mention my tablet was dead, no screen no donwload mode, and not responding to button press. and still i was able to connect and ressurect it doing this.
Thanks for the good idea! When I connect it with Odin open, I get the yellow bar. I think that Heimdall is connecting as well, it just isn't being allowed to make any changes. Access denied is my suspicion. I'm not sure what would cause that, or how to correct it.

I am pleased to report that I was able to find a solution. With Odin running, I was getting a yellow bar indicating the device was connected. I ran Heimdall while Odin was still open...and voila, it worked without a hitch.
Thanks again for the assistance. Keep this one tucked away in your memory in case you ever experience something similar!
You can also update the USB drivers through Heimdall like the instructions say.... Might be a safer way than to have ODIN open too...
You just need to downgrade the usb drivers after using Heimdall to use ODIN again...

I had updated the drivers through Heimdall. Both in regular boot mode, and in download mode. Whatever caused the problem, it is seemingly fixed. I just hope it stays that way!
So I have the i896 version of the Captivate, and I really want Cynagen Mod on it but I can't seem to get it to work. I was at the point where I Heimdal installer, it flashed it and rebooted and now I'm at the "Firmware Upgrade Fail ! Try using recovery mode" screen.
Here is where it gets interesting, the heimdal had me install new USB drivers which my computer no longer seems to recognize. I've tried reinstalling them and checking Odin to see if it detects my phone but nothing. Any suggestions?
--- UPDATE
I have downloaded the latest USB drivers onto my laptop, giving it a shot now.
--- UPDATE 2:
new drivers not working still.
that "Firmware Upgrade Fail ! Try using recovery mode" is actually download mode....if you are having connection problems then read this thread for all possible solutions...Connection Issues
If you want to use ODIN then install samsung drivers, if you want to use heimdall you use the drivers that it provides. That screen is probably Download mode just need to make sure you are using correct drivers.
If you install the zadig drivers (for Heimdall), it only installs then to one port. If you install then on port 3 now, they won't be on port 2. On my laptop, i have Samsung drivers in 1 port,zadig on another. Also if you install zadig on one port, you can't use Samsung drivers on that port again without reinstalling them.
I appreciate the help, for some reason the only way it would work was if I:
Removed the battery
Removed the USB cable
Held the Vol Up + Vol Down buttons
Insert USB Cable
Insert Battery, so now I am going to try to use the Odin again.
So this can't be good, now my phone boots and it has really faint diagonal dotted lines across the screen, and suggestions?
Sound like you need to flash to stock and start over.

Any suggestions on how to get it back to download mode to be able to do that? I'm using the jig and the technique listed above, still the dotted diagonals.
Apparently in some weird way the download screen got jacked, because Odin seems to be working on it, I will update when I get more info, thanks again for all of the help this far.
Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i switchd the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode to flash but odin doesnt recognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS- i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)
Try to reinstall or install a usb driver from samsung
tried that before , didnt work
anyway now i managed to get it detected on ODIN and flashed it to GB
Libon
Yeah, happened to me too, nearly had a sh*t my pants when Odin didn't recognise my Tab.
I would recommend -
charge the Tab fully using wall adapter (4 hrs+)
plug it in with Odin open and using USB cable
don't expect Odin to recognise the Tab immediately
check back after 5 mins or so (I don't know, does Odin refresh?)
I was able to restore my Tab from the PC - ! - Marvin screen.
I don't want to go back there again though!
yea dude.. same here
i kept it on charge for a couple of hours and then tried.. bam it conencts..

My Galaxy tab also doesn't connect to usb after cache wiped humber os flash
Thanks in advance guys!..
Earlier I was using Cyanogen mode 10 Custom ROM but has few issues like recognize SD card.
later I flashed to Humber OS caused real problem.
It was clock work recovery installed but my tab tab boots stays on screen humber OS.
It goes to recovery mode, and also to some unknown recovery mode.
Either the way not recognized by computer. I tried all options like heimtal an Odin. No help.
Friends any help, would be highly appreciated.
BUMP
Any solution to this given the fact that usb drivers have been installed?
Are you sure it is recognised by the computer before trying Odin or Heimdall?
I seen this in a post:

4 Reasons Why Odin is Not Detecting Your Android Device:
Reason 1: No drivers installed for your phone
Most of the time Odin is not able to detect your phone, simply because you haven’t installed the drivers for your phone. Normally windows would automatically download the respective drivers for your phone from the internet and install it. But in case it isn’t able to do so, you need to download the drivers from your phone manufacturer’s website.
Reason 2: Inferior quality or damaged USB cable
Odin is very sensitive to low quality or damaged USB cables, which is a major reason why odin will detect your android phone in file transfer mode but fail to detect it in download mode. You might have a genuine USB cable that came with your Android phone but with time its quality will depreciate, which is why you might have to get a new USB cable.
Reason 3: Odin is corrupted
This happened once with a reader on my blog, we tried everything to solve his problem, but in the end using a different version of Odin worked out for him.
Reason 4: USB port is defective
Defective USB ports can also be a reason for Odin not detecting your Android phone. This was a problem faced by one of my readers and plugging the USB cable in another USB port worked out for him.

and I need install cwm recovery on a twrp recovery and just do that with this app:
ROM Manager
if you want do same job; you can download it from google play easily!
and install recovery,rom or restore backup with it.

reason 1: my phone is samsung and it's detected by ODIN, kies and I transfer files from and to my computer without problems. also tried reinstalling just in case but nothing, so I guess this is not the answer for my problem
reason 2: tried with original cable, but as I didn't use the tablet for a long time I also thought it could be the cable, so I asked a friend of mine if he could lend me one cable, but that didn't work. pity. :/
reason 3: tried 3 different versions of ODIN, and in every version my phone (mentioned above) is detected. shame. :S
reason 4: tried the 3 different USB ports in my laptop. two 2.0 USB ports and one 3.0 USB port, so again I doubt this is the reason of my problem.
extra reason: ~~~ maybe it's the OS version ~~~ // this laptop came with windows 8 preinstalled. nothing. then, I updated to win 8.1. again nothing. now I'm running windows 10 and the same, nothing is detected neither by ODIN nor the computer. also tried in 4 different computers running win xp, win 7 and other with win 8.1.
btw, thank you anyway for your apportation; this may help other people, but unfortunately, it's not my case, so can anybody else join me to think about a new reason and a way to solve it? thank you very much :good: :highfive: :fingers-crossed:
~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDIT ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have continued researching and found a software. it didn't work for me, but maybe it works for other people.
-first, you have to make sure you have java installed on your computer.
-second, extract the oneclick.rar file on an easy-access directory.
-third, put your tab on download mode (while charging icon when tab is turned off, press power + volume down until a yellow triangle appears).
-fourth, click start unsoft-brick and let the magic begin! 8)
note: if a warning error pops up, trust the software and click on resolution center and follow the instructions of one of the three "alternative ways".

How did you did it im having the same error???
i did the same thing with my tab exactly like yours plzzzz help me recover it
This is probably getting boring to some people now but i am having a major issue with Odin detecting my phone when it is in Download mode.
Once i connect the phone after loading up Odin and holding the 3 button combo, Windows installs 2 more drivers - USB Device and then Unknown Device. Then nothing, Odin just sits there and no yellow box glows or a COM port showing the phone is connected. I have tried installing Kies originally and using the drivers from that with no success, then i used the standalone driver packages available from softpedia and several other websites with no luck. What i can't understand is, when i connect the phone to my computer in it's normal state it has no problems and allows me to transfer files, access both the internal and external SD but shows as an 'unknown device' in the Device Manager when in Download mode... Why??!!
Somebody please help me!

Stock rom shouldn't have this problem.. you should either uninstall everything related to samsung from your computer and then start again or try connecting to a different PC.. you'll be able to find out whether this problem is just with the single system or not
I always run up Odin, then use the 3 buttons to get to download mode and then connect to USB port.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
I had the same problem, then I finally got it to work.
Try this:
First off, you may need to try several different versions of Odin. The one I finally got to work on my phone was V1.85. you can find a collection of different versions to download here: http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/odin-multi-downloader-flasher-program.html
Next, Load up Odin. Plug in you phone to the USB port with phone powered on, remove the battery on the phone. While holding the 3 buttons down (Volume up, down & power) put the battery back in. Wait for the text to start to scroll, let go of the buttons. When it gets to the menu, unplug the USB, then plug back in. The yellow box in Odin should say it's connected. If not you may have to do this a couple of times.
Now this is the part I can't remember...I think what I did from here is chose the recovery option in the menu. Sorry I don't remember exactly what i did, I was a noob when I did it, and I think I got lucky.
I do remember that Odin would not flash it until I finally got to the screen with the picture of the android in the construction hat, or something like that.
Maybe someone with more experience can help with this part.
I had the same problem
The fix is: Use the USB JIG to get into download mode.
Update your PC USB driver for SGS1. Follow the OP on this link:

Hello all,
My mother has a GT-N7000 running complete stock.
It updated something according to ehr saying and afterwards it rebooted.
After the reboot it rebooted again and now its bootlooping, it shows samsung and plays the sound.
The bleu glaze comes up and the the device reboots.
I cant get into recovery with vol up+home+power button combo.
It boots to it and it shows the droid with the sort of cubic icon spinning in its belly and after 3 sec the device reboots.
I cant do a factory reset there so i read about Odin and reflash stock image.
I downloaded the proper file and Odin 3.0.9 and installed samsung drivers.
I dont have Kies installed as i read it could give problems.
The device does go i ndownlaod mode but my PC running w7 ultimate 64bit doesnt recognize the device.
I tried 3 different USB ports from the Mobo, and i tried a couple of diferent USB cables.
One of the cables is original Samung U2 cable.
Everyt time i connect the device winodws shows the message: the USB device isnt recognized.
Odin doesnt register anything so i cant flash a thing with it to restore.
Does this mean the device is bricked?
Does the N7000 has some sort of unbrick JTAG mode or something or would linux help to rewrite all partitions?
Thx for any tips.
With best ergards,
Mister_mini
Edit: thinking back it could be possible USB debuuging has been turned on but im not sure on this part.
