Hello,
I wanted to flash my phone back to stock EB01, was running Superclean 2.9.1. Using Odin and EB01_DXC.tar.md5, it is now stuck on modem.bin. And I dont want to screw up my phone, any suggestions?
I use heimdall it doesn't do movinand.bin, but it's never been a problem for me. You can pick which pieces go into it and it has always been successful for me.
I had the same thing happen to me a while back. I just unplugged my phone and restarted the whole Odin process and it worked the second time. I'm not telling you to do this by any means... Just telling you what I did any my outcome. Good luck!

Odin is actually very unreliable (To the OP). Heimdall is MUCH more efficient, and it doesn't mess with the bootloaders if I remember correctly. Anyways, when I first started and was using Odin, this happened to me once or twice, I did what SnrSuave did, just re-do the whole process, worked fine for me as well.
I have the same problem here. But in my case, both odin and heimdall stuck got stuck on modem.bin on every package I threw in.
Any suggestion?

I would try to redownload the package again, sounds like a goofy download. I've had a few similar issues with ODIN as well. I usually restart my PC and repeat the process and all go well.

Ok, I was restoring my phone to stock with odin following these stpes
Disable Voodoo
Odin to eugenes froyo that wont brick
sticks at vibrant screen
tried odining to JFD
odin completes but still hangs at the vibrant screen
I have tried with and with out repartition checked and I am able to enter and exit download mode freely, I have tried 3 differnt versions of odin and 2 different downloads of the pda and pits. Any help would be great.
EDIT, Odin is finishing at the pass stage when the phone attempts to boot Currently flashing the JI6 seeing if it works.
Still not getting anywhere, I have now tried to odin to eugenes froyo, JFD, JI6, all which end the same with out a boot screen, I can get download but no recovery.
From my understanding when you flash eugenes froyo that wont brick the boot animation should change to the international one, mine has not done that so I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with the flashes themself.
How long did you wait after flashing the stock firmware? The first boot usually takes a while after an Odin. Did Odin finish flashing everything to the point that it said restart in blue?
You can find instructions to revert to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
I've gotten myself out of some pretty bad "bricks" with JFD and ODIN... make sure you also use the stock .pit file and you can check repartition, use JFD and should fix you right up.
I have waited for 10-15 minutes after it says restart and then sometimes after it says pass, and I have done to jfd and stock pit.
left phone at boot fell asleep woke up hr or so later still at vibrant screen, still cannot access recovery but can access download mode.
To OP. What custom rom did you run before flashing back to stock? Have you recovered?

I was on axura the newest one and did not like it that much tbh had tons of processes starting nonstop and was constantly down to 35m of memory while idle. No I have not recoverd, I have flashed every combo I can think of with ODIN but alas have had no luck.
Currently it is being warrantied out for a free replacement.

So tired.... I am in the same boat. But I get to flash Eugenes froyo but i have 0 room in app storage. Then When I try to Odin to stock JFD and stock .pit it all goes well untill I get to recovery and it tells me in red text "data wipe failed"
The phone reboots and goes black after the galaxy s animation.
You think samsung will fix it for me? I go the phone in July 2010.
To OP.
have you tried flashing eugenes froyo that doesn't brick? I can't understand why a lot of these bricks are happening right now. Especially when you do flash your phone back to stock.

How would I know if samsung will fix it.. I called tmobile said it got bricked while doing JI6 boom problem solved. Their support is not that great though he was having me try to access root by calling it a secert master menu, then asked if i tethered my comp to it but his definition of tether was syncing files I was just playing dumb and letting him ask me his questions

Rooting your device and flashing custom roms onto it voids your warranty from t-mobile. You are wasting your time trying to see if they will help, This is NOT in their job description. They might laugh at you.
@OP Try flashing to a TRUE stock firmware, I personally would not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom, does that make sense? You should go back to t-mobiles legit 2.1. There is a link in the Bible here under the Dev forum. But, The link is broken. So Ive uploaded it here http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg
Don't give up on odin yet, try things like changing your usb ports on the computer, this has worked for me. I also have a video tutorial using odin, it might be of some help to you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10207377&postcount=1

I am in the same boat.. tried ODIN + stock ROM from various sources, nothing seems to work.. am I out of luck ??
Okay, I managed to soft-brick my vibrant flashing EDT's 2.2.1 RC1.
I've never used Odin before, but have spent hours learning what I can, downloaded everything, followed all instructions, Odin failed.
When I tried again, I can't get into download mode. I'm stuck with a screen that looks like: Phone--!--PC (That's the phone icon--Yellow triangle with ! inside--icon of a PC.
What can I do to save the phone, or is it trashed?
Odin to stock jfd.
Had that too it's fine

It wasn't connecting to Odin, but I tried again and it is now, even without it showing as being in download mode.
Edit: Okay, Thank you. I don't know why it didn't connect after it failed before, but I'm unbricked and back to stock.
Now, to root it and install stuff without The Wife noticing.
That screen that shows the phone and pc does work for download mode. I had this awhile back.

Did you come from a rom with voodoo enabled?
Use Heimdall
Install Heimdall on your PC http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1196
Connect phone to PC after installing Heimdall
use Heimdall command
heimdall close-pc-screen
It may get you out of pc--!--phone
NOTE: I had better luck on Linux then on PC with close-pc-screen
I came from Bionix 1.2, voodoo enabled, and at the time, the op didn't say to disable voodoo. I was so tired from working 60+ hours last week that I didn't think to question voodoo, as I'd been flashing TW roms with voodoo enabled and no issues.
Regardless, it all got solved. Just for a short time odin wouldn't recognize my phone and I thought it was due to this error. It ended up working fine.

PUlled battery out and reflashed tried going to full odin restore it keeps getting stuck now on setup configuration in ODIN> I hope I didnt brick my phone
Before anyone gets bent out of shape, this thread is in the wrong section. (See how nice you can say it.)
Anyway, If your phone is booting to download mode, it is not bricked. What file are you trying to flash and in what section of odin? Also if it is failing after you hit start, copy paste the odin log in so we can see exactly where it is failing.
Second suggestion try to flash stock DI01 or DL09 in PDA section to see if you can get it running that way.
I have tried stock d09 in pda and it gets stuck param.ifs
have you tried flashing with the PITT file? you can try that. uuuummmmmm, I think I would try downloading the EB01 all in one package from Adryn and flash it with the Atlas2.2 pitt file and see how that runs.
Unless it fell off the desk while flashing, if it still turns on you're probably ok. Try the cure all laid out by giz http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817 look for the thorough method. If you cant get into download mode at first don't panic, sometimes it can take a few attempts before resorting to jigs.
Also if your issue is odin getting stuck in during the flash then first check your download. A corrupt download has taken time from me and quite a few others trying to figure out.

My apologies landshark, didn't know odin files were out yet for ed01 nor that you had a guide.
Okay, so after installing the kang build 25 ICS for the vibrant, everything went fine. Randomly I get a random reboot and my phone says there was an "encryption error" and that I have to do a factory reset. Since I already had everything backed up, I didn't mind the data wipe. When it went rebooted the CWM screen came up and started wiping everything but when it got to the "formatting data" part, it failed. I tried this many times and it kept failing... SO, I decided to ODIN back to JFD. After doing so, all I get is the Vibrant screen, then an instant shut down. I even tried Eugene's old No Brick Froyo PDA, then tried to reinstall the JFD image, but got no luck.
Question is: What should I do now?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Its a little involved but It's all I could find to help buddy

It's not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish but It is a guarantied way to get your vibrant into successful download mode to reflash to stock.
At the least something to get you started
Good Luck!
Perhaps it could be a bootloader problem? If you're sure you are doing Odin right, including repartition with the pit file, you could look at your SBL.

Sorry but what is SBL?

I dont know how to explain it very well lol but to check if the rom you are trying to odin has the sbl in it. Rename it and put a .zip at the end. Then extract to see if its in there it should be named "sbl". To change it back simply delete the .zip off the original file.
JFD
I'm trying to ODIN the original JFD firmware, and I just checked that it does not have SBL in it.
Try odining a rom that has the sbl file in it thats probably why its not working.

The SBL is the Secondary Boot Loader, which is loaded by the Primary Boot Loader.
I haven't personally encountered any roms which also flash bootloaders.
I did manage to get my phone bootlooped in some weird way which apparently could only be fixed by reflashing the SBL. Note: flashing bootloaders is more dangerous than regular roms.
I am presently running a GB SBL from this thread:

a 301kohm jig is ONLY good if you have a valid Initial Bootloader, Primitive Bootloader, Partition Table AND Secondary Bootloader. If you damage any of those, a 301kohm jig won't work.

I have already tried the Heimdall method... and I can access download mode. I think the thing that is causing the bootloop is that the Data wipe fails after a restore. Thats when the bootloop kicks in

If you did Odin/Heimdall to stock after flashing the SBL, and it is still messed up, its beyond me and I'd really like to know the fix. Wiping should be irrelevant after Odining to stock.
If you are getting errors in recovery when you try to wipe/format/restore, that indicates a mismatch between the kernel and the partitioning or filesystem.

SO the thing is I used the GLITCH kernel with vibrant build 25... I dont think I was supposed to... could that have caused the problem? maybe a voodoo problem?
There are two glitch kernel series that I know of, one for CM7 and one for CM9 and ICS (I think, not sure, that all ICS builds and CM9 use the same basic filesystem scheme).
All stock builds use a Samsung FS scheme which is different from the two above. So there are at least three mutually-incompatible families of FS+kernel pairs.
I used the CM9 kernel I think...
After the installation went fine, I got the encryption error which told me to reboot. as soon as I did, I got the Data wipe fail. Any ideas?
Encryption Error
I'm going through the same thing. I had my phone at ICS passion for months, last night I noticed my phone was in a boot load screen, but it was dimmed. I simply went and took out my battery. . maybe not the best idea, cause I'm now unable to flash back to stock.
I used odin to go back to stock, but I keep getting a boot load/reset. Nothing is happening.
If anyone has found out more on this, please let me know. Thank you so much.

Hey,
So I successfully rooted my galaxy s4 vruemk2 using saferoot. Then I did goomanager and tried installing a custom recovery. May have been twrp. Anyway, I tried rebooting into recovery and I get the downloading do not turn off target message. Red text at top left saying could not boot.
I tried following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
I downloaded both the No-Wipe and full wipe versions. And the PIT file. I started with using the full wipe version. I include the PIT file linked there. Odin hangs at setupconnection. So I wait 5 minutes then 10 then 15 and still stuck there. So I pull the battery, reboot into download/recovery and try again. This time using the No-Wipe version. It starts to show a progress bar on the phone but then fails citing a misssing PIT file. So I go through it again. This time using the PIT file. And what does it do? It hangs at setupconnection in Odin.
I go from Odin 3.09 to 3.07 and try both processes again. Same result. I uninstall the samsung usb drivers, reboot the computer and reinstall. Try it again. Still hangs at setupconnection. Same error with No-Wipe if I do not include the PIT file. I run both versions of Odin as administrator, they both still hang at the same step. Even after trying multiple USB ports on my computer.
I'm completely in awe as to why I am the only person this will not work for.

Well I was able to finally get back into the phone and load another rom. Properly this time with Safestrap. However, upon going back through download mode to do anything associated with odin, it continues to get stuck on SetupConnection. I've disconnected all of my external harddrives and moved the usb cable in between at least 5 different usb slots, but it always yields the same result! Even after uninstalling and reinstalling the samsung usb drivers! Arghhh It's so maddening.
Odin just doesn't want to work for me whatsoever!
