Not sure why but my phone is refusing to write into my SD card but its 100% fine on my PC
Also for some odd reason WIFI Hotspot being reported by Windows that it got older security which is wrong
I think some file in my phone is damaged
and I was wondering how i can use the stock rom file to make sure everything on my phone is fine and not corrupted
do I need to format any portions?
like do i even need to reinstall the ROM or i can just factory reset the phone and all would be ok?
Also, my phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader
1) try MTP on another device/phone to make sure of is ok
2) if you are using AOSP 11 there is a bug with MTP if usb debugging is enabled
Try these two and if none works:
Tell me the rom you are using and android version

Hi,
I am a rather experienced user when it comes to flashing/using odin and I had successfully updated to JVK from JV1 and had been using it for a few days. I decided I wanted to use a ROM now, so I went to http://romkitchen.org/beta/ and downloaded a no-wipe rom. I was already rooted but needed CWM so I flashed the new version of CF-Root. Everything worked fine so I used CWM to flash the rom. It started an endless boot cycle (Just the galaxy s i9000 words over and over again) so I decided to just repartition and flash JVK with Odin again as I had a backup and wouldn't lose anything. That worked normally but once the phone started restarting (before it got to any boot image) it went to a password entry box. These were the exact same files that I had used to to flash gingerbread before and I have never had this happen to me before. The only physical button that does anything is the menu button which dims the screen. Pulling out the battery/restarting/reflashing JVK or JV1 doesn't help. Froyo (JS5) does work though so I am using that now. I have tried 3 different versions of Odin, going to JV1 then JVK, different .pit downloads, bootloader and non bootloader version of JVK, none of them make a difference, always the password. I have tried all my passwords, and none of them work.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
I have the same problem. Tried a lot of variants without any luck. Currently running JPU instead.
I've started to wonder if the phone is actually asking for a unlock code, as if the phone was locked to specific operator. But anyway there is a digit code you can check if your phone is locked, and mine is not.
Please anyone know how to work around this and what is causing this password prompt?
Rooting or putting a modded kernel on jvk does not help either, still asks for password.
First of all try 'samfirmware.com' as the password, may be a long shot but maybe the rom originally came from there.
if that doesnt work, i would send doc or stefunel a PM (or check thread) incase some one else has had this issue, they may no the password considering it was downloaded from their kitchen.
Tried that before, didn't work. It's not their rom anymore, just the stock JVK.
Did you try some common pre-set passwords on electronic devices like '0000' or '1234' ? Maybe this is just something like on a dvb receiver...
Sounds unlikely but since you've tried the 'normal' ways...
very strange. Try Samsung , Gingerbread , 0000 , 1234 , I don't know anything else .
BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
no idea if it will even work

FIX for anyone having "Confirm Password" issue on Boot:-
1) Just enter some wrong password multiple times
2) Then a Warning message will appear telling you it will remove all SD Card data
3) Type something wrong again!
4) Let the SD Card get wiped.
5) Then the system will bootup properly next time.
I just did one more *2767*3855# Full wipe after bootup.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!! It worked! Now to install Darkys Rom.
It works
Thanks Pagot, that worked and didn't erase my internal SD card (I have no external one).
just enter many wrong password it'll no erase your internal or externe sd card
Tested on JVO
It Works
Had installed deodexed JVP(2.3.4) via CWM, decided to reset and erase the internal SD card. Got the dreaded confirm password on boot, typed in the wrong password multiple times, the phone rebooted, internal SD card was formatted.
Could that be the encryption password!!???
I was testing my device against a MDM (Mobile device management) system called Afaria, where I work and have enabled encryption in the policy applied to the device. When I got the enter password dialog box I entered the encryption password and the device accepted the password...
this saved my life ahah
works fine with 2.3.5 too
thanks
Very helpful thank you. Worked for me on my Infuse. Took about thirty tries and waiting through about 4-5 30 second timeouts for incorrect password but finally said it would wipe data in accordance with security policy and bam back up running Entropy's DD deodexed and rooted. Thanks fellas. You guys sure helped a noob out.

Thought to update:
Worked for me too - happened every now and then on my lost EFS'ed i9000, as I was trying to install different roms.
Entering it wrong enough times wiped the sd card (that I could careless about)
Cheers!
Hey guys I been having a huge problem with my Samsung Galaxy S 1900M its currently locked with Bell/Virgin Canada. I bought it off of some 2nd hand company. The phone was sold as is saying that it was unable to connect to the computer, (computer does not recognize it at ALL). I bought the phone amusing it was a ROM load problem. It came to me rooted and in almost perfect condition so I was quite happy with my purchase considering I paid $180 USD ($170 CAD). I tried connecting to the computer using the USB that came with the phone, and as stated it does not recognize it at all on ANY Windows/Linux base PCs. I also have another Samsung USB cable that I know works, I tired that as well...no success.
So I am assuming who ever loaded a ROM did not know what they were doing.So I have been searching all over the internet/google, XDA forums and Q&A and everyone point to loading a new kernal....BUT here is where it gets weird. Who ever had this phone previous did not flash a new kernal when updating and put the 3e recovery on the phone, WHICH MEANS I cannot flash any new: Kernals, OR ROMS using the CWM, which btw I am pretty sure isn't working properly because it goes into the base recovery mode with limited options, ex. reboot, sdcard update.zip, wipe cashe, format sdcard...nothing else.
Which brings us back to the original problem, I can not connect to the PC for ODIN to work its magic on the kernal....Please help....
Here is the current load,
Firmware Version: 2.2
Baseband: 19000UGJK4
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9 shout.leeSEP-09 #1 ( I have never heard of this?)
Build: FROYO.UGJK4
may be a issue with drivers dont quote me though, i had to update drivers after flashing and updateing my galaxy s, as i had simular issue with odin, by not reconize, do you mean windows wont even detect the phone added, or is it connect and nothing? does the phone charge when connected to the pc ?
The phone does charge, but even with the Samsun Keis app, and having the proper Sumsung drivers it still wont even detect the phone. I even went to Device Manager and searched for new hardware/device. I also tried putting it into download mode, and connecting Odin. Windows still wont even detect it. I think its a problem with the kernal....for both issues...
Fixed the problem, hope this helps for others.
Just following up on this as I figured out what to do on my own in case anyone else has this issue.
It was quite simple actually, the kernal was faulty, and so was the ROM that was loaded just as I anticipated
1st:The person that previously owned the phone loaded FROYO custom build that was taken from a leaked version prior to the official release and had no USB support, therefore being unable to connect to the computer.
2nd: The kernal was a custom build and had a 3e recovery built into it and was not able to load any un-verified files(unofficial ROMS, firmwares, updates etc.), therefore I was not able to load a new ROM to fix the first problem, stated above, and visa versa.
I found a program on the market place called "kernal manager", I downloaded the PRO version by searching Google on the computer for the .apk file, I then copied the .apk file onto my external 2 GB SD card and ran the .apk file through the phone. I then opened "kernal manger pro" and opened the menu button, then hit search for kernals. A list of different models of phones came up, I browsed down to my handset maodel (Samsung Galaxy s 19000), press on it, and got a list of kernals. I took each top rated and downloaded kernal listed, did a little research on the internet and found one of them to be suitable. I then went back to the phone chose that kernal through "kernal manager", it asked me to flash then reboot, I hit yes, it then begun the process, and when finished reboot on its own. I then reboot into recovery again after the kernal had loaded and the first reboot and found that the new kernal had succsefully been flashed. I then was able to go about as I please. I uploaded a cm7.zip file to the external sd card, put it in the phone, boot to recovery browsed to the file, and ran it having complete success.
I am now happily running Cyanogen 7. Hope this helps anyone that needs it. Any questions just ask
I have been using CM11 (14-03-2014 I believe), without major problems until yesterday. Sometimes my phone seemed to disconnect from my SIM and I had to re-enter my pin code to reconnect to my operators network. But as of yesterday my device doesn't seem to recognize the SIM card, It doesn't ask for a code at all and can't make any connection whatsoever. I didn't change a thing, this problem started out of the blue.
I wiped cache and dalvik, updated to the latest CM nightly (08-05) but that didn't make any difference. In other threads I read about the baseband that might need an update, but I can't check which version I have now because when I try to enter the hidden menu I get the no network connection error. The strange thing is that CM11 has worked with (I guess) the stock baseband.
Is my phone tripping or could it be that my SIM card is broken?
Help and thoughts will be very much appreciated
Try it on stock to be sure about it.
After some searching I found a phone that could fit a regular SIM card, a Blackberry 9900. My SIM worked perfect in this phone, so that is not the problem.
I Also did a complete wipe and installed a stable version of CM 10.1.3, but that didn't seem to help. I hoped that a downgrade would have done the trick. I might try a ICS ROM or the stock firmware, but I kind of lost hope and i'm starting to think this problem is hardware related in stead of software. I'll report back with results on stock firmware and the ICS ROM.
How can I make sure the SIM reader in my phone is working properly?
Sorry for double posting, but I got an update:
SIM wasn't working with ICS so I decided to go back to the stock ROM. However, when I tried to flash V20B.kdz with KDZ_FW_UPD, the program got stuck at wParam=2010 and iParam=210. The phone is now stuck in S/W Update mode, and I haven't found a way to restore it yet. I will argue a little more with my phone when I get back from work, I'll open a new thread on how to unbrick when I can't do it myself.

I have the same problem, and exactly the same error at reflash.
Dead end. Buy a new phone .
I tried to flash it about 80 times. One guy from a gsm repair has a bit luck and make it work at the first, but then, when he wanted to repair my imei, the phone stucked again in S/W Upgrade.
Hello guys,
Was hoping someone would help with the dilemma I'm facing right now.
A friend of mine got locked out of his phone with WiFi and Data disabled, so all the options for resolving that either by logging with google account or resetting the backup password will not work as he can not remember his backup password.
The obvious choice would be to reset the phone, but he is desperate to get the data stored on his phone as he has not done a backup recently and it would be lost. Retrieving the data via USB will not work either because it is set as Media device rather MTP option.
I've read that I can flash a stock ROM and TWRP which would help in backing up the data first before flashing, but apparently TWRP is not released yet for this AT&T version.
Anyway, my question is, is there anyway that I can backup the data from the phone at its current state or is there a way to force Wifi or data on !?
If not, how can I flash a stock ROM using Odin while the phone is locked and not rooted originally !? this is assuming of course it will not wipe out his data entirely

Plug the phone into a pc then download the files to a folder that you create you then can factory reset and that will clear the password.
Once that's done you can retrieve the files that was stored on the pc

After this i tried flash stockroom succesfully after 2 days of hard work So i flash stock room but the problem is still there so im not sure what can i do anymore. If i can try flash some newer rom or custom rom or its just hardware failure? has anyone have problem like this? All others things work normal like data connections etc. Sorry for my english
1. update so i flashed another lineage room just in case and still not working.
2. i notice in system information that wifi mac adress is 0d:00:00:00:00:00 so can be hardware failure probably.
3. Hotspot wifi is working so i can connect from another mobile to the broken wifi mobile
