Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
Here is my problem. I was trying to flash back to stock using Odin3 and have tried many times. However it progresses to FACTORYFS and stops any progress. And it sits and sits and sits. No progress. Why??? Please. If anyone can give me any advice please do. Thanks.
Forst you need to have your phone in download mode.... if your havin trouble with the process download AIO VIBRANT TOLLBOX.. its really helpful and also you need to have the appropiate files and if it keeps doing that.... download odin again....

Are you running windows 7?
If so, reboot your computer, hit F7 to get into the safe mode options, then disable device driver enforcement.
Sounds wierd but it fixes my odin from locking up everytime.
Hi,
Can you link to the firmware you downloaded? I've seen this a few times and it was a faulty TAR package. If you are looking for a good reliable 2.1 JFD package I have on one of my download pages:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=186
I had this same problem several weeks ago. I used the same files Ive always used to odin. Just keep trying it. It took me over 3 hours before it finally went thru. Ive been scared to use odin every since/
check the md5
try another usb port
using the latest odin?
any other usb devices plugged in? If so, remove them, reboot, try again.
using the usb that came with your phone?
Man, you guys are awesome. I'm always amazed and impressed at everyones willingness to help others in need even if their(my)problems are self inflicted. Thank you.
We just had a baby and are at the doctors office at the moment but as soon as we are done I will get back to it and see what can be done.
Again thanks a million.

Dude... CONGRATULATIONS!!
Best thing that ever happened to me.
Congrats! Kids ROCK!!!
Don't be afraid to PM these guys, there are people more than willing to help you out here at XDA. Saved my behind more than once. Just have patience, as they say - "help is on the way"
Ok first thanks for the words of encouragement with the baby. She is beautiful.
Now back to work. First things first. When it freezes at FACTORY FS what is the safest way to disconnect? Battery pull?(seems scary) x out?(also scary).
I have disabled the driver enforcement but still have the same problem. Thanks though.

Alright so far I have
1. Disabled devices driver enforcement
2. Tried all 3 of my usb ports
3. Currently using Odin3v1.00 (about to search for a newer version)
4. Removed all connected usb devices
5. Rebooted twice
Results = same. Bummer
I have not checked the md5. Not really sure how to and what/where to check. I know its something that I should know by know but never have needed to till now I guess.
MD5 - use Hashtab
http://implbits.com/HashTab.aspx
That IS an old version of odin, that is known to hang... my signature for going back to stock has files, inc newer ODIN.
I suggest getting a new pit and tar from there too.
Going back to stock in my signature
I'm still curious as to whether you tried my 2.1 JFD tar package. This will eliminate the thought of a corrupt PDA TAR package. Can you please try it? I replied on page 1. In the past your issue was caused by a corrupt/incomplete TAR package.

I am glad you got it all square man. No need to donate, but when you flash trigger or cm7 you should hook them up. Donate links are above the avatar of the developers.
Did you check the md5? Willing to bet mine and his have the same, assuming one was not corrupt.
Now go stare wildly.... At your new kid!

Hey guys,
I just got my phone today and for some reason it doesnt work anymore.
I allready rooted it (one click) and loaded ROM manger. I tried to do that SD card thing on it whre you make room for App storage and when it rebooted it got stuck after the whole booting process. (The sound for the T-mobile ad seems to be a little to late) Black screen and lighted up sensor buttons (which stop glowing once I touch them, and then light up again). Tried everything. Odin sucessfully done, but still the same thing. Please dont tell me I got to give my brand new vibrant away. I get it in download mode and recovery mode.
Sorry for the bad english, I´m german and in america right now.
I deeply hope you guys can help me
Do you mean you tried to partition the SD card from ROM manager??
Check the repartition box with a checkmark..
Odin again, Odin again, and again, sometimes a success does not equal all files copied correctly.

OKAY HERE GOES.
Download thisand extract it. And flash it in ODIN v1.7. No Pit file.
Your phone should boot into i9000 Froyo Rom.
Go back into download mode and Flash T959UVJFD.tar with the 512.pit that you downloaded in the previous threads.
To get into download mode use either "adb reboot download" or the button combo
Your phone should be saved. If not, then .....

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.

Use SirVilhelm's post for the Odin flashable and make sure you are using the Odin exe from Adam's bootloader unlock thread. Or flash Revision 3 instead of the full stock image. I borked my phone slightly and this worked.
Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all
EDIT: Imnuts file does not need to be unzipped. Use as is.

your getting corrupt downloads because of something on your end...That's the part your failing to understand... you keep saying "oh well that don't work for me"....ok but there must be a reason. All those files and methods that have been provided work for everyone else including myself. Take a step back make sure your doing everything correctly and make sure your pc is clean and no viruses...again its something on your end.

I have been working with the above poster on this issue for a couple days. He has supposedly tried all these files you posted and they don't work for him. there is something going on from his side of the coin...
Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB

Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all
EDIT: Imnuts file does not need to be unzipped. Use as is.

Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB
Happy holidays!

I provided you with the same links? Now all of a sudden imuts rom worked?? come on tell the truth what else was the problem?? Im not buying it lol...glad you figured it out tho. :good:
I was on an international based rom and downloaded something that was supposed to be a fix for something. so after the download it took me to recovery to install and reboot. I flashed the zip and it obviously wasn't for my carrier because my screen went black then did the samsung logo, then my twrp recovery screen, but then right back around to the samsung logo. I can get to odin but not recovery. in odin it shows my phones product name correctly, says custom binary download and says no, current binary says samsung official, then system status says custom...Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help. I am so f***** without this phone...Please someone help....Thank You all..What can I do????

Lol yes, sorry kinda going crazy here. Thanks for responding, I appreciate that even. I was on Goodness i605 note 2. I must have screwed up by downloading something in those minsettings that was for a different carrier. It said it was a network error fix I believe. It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Thank you for the input but I don't believe that will work, I can't get into recovery. I can only get into odin download. But yes I read that as well, after I did it thanks
I would tey returning to stock feom odin, and starting all over again. I am not sure this would work, but it is worth a shot.

Ok, I'll give it a try, Thank you. I've been trying the 1b section of the brick odin and it recognizes my phone and that but it gets through the whole thing and then says failed so I am stuck for sure. Thank you for the advise any and all is welcome.

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had a link or a copy laying around of the latest ota (vramc3) to use with Odin? The link in Droidstyle's guide takes you there, but the download doesn't work at all. I went to the Samsung sites, but I don't want to flash the wrong thing. I'm not new to using Odin, use it on my tab. I just need that file/safety net before i actually NEED it. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it very much.

It works for me...click on regular download, wait 30 seconds and click the download link.
Thanks man. I'll give it a try again. Maybe the site was acting up last night. It took me to hot file and when I clicked the link it said downloading for like a minute then I got got network error. Weird thing was I downloaded Odin again and the pit file again without a hitch using your links. I'll report back.

Great, it's coming down now. For some reason I kept getting "unknown network error" last night. So I still use 7-zip to unzip it and stick it in PDA, stick the pit in there and run in DL mode correct? Factory reset in stock recovery to avoid bootloop and then I'm good. Please forgive all the questions, just never used Odin on my N2 and I want to be really sure. Took me a minute to figure out why the stock rooted and unlocked file by Mr. Davidson wouldn't show up in Odin. Then remembered I needed 7-zip.
