Hello,
after a reboot of my device it was frozen at the Samsung screen (not that with S -> before)
Actually it displays me where I can see a Phone ... ! ... Computer.

Samsung KIES have a connection timeout and Odin3 (1.85) stucks.
What can I do?
Please help the big noob
<EDIT>
When I use ODIN it displays me this:

And then is nothing ...
Have you put a pit file in odin, then you have to check repartition box. If not then do never check repartition box. All 3 parts firmware normally have a pit file.

Remove battery and put it back in, put phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin.
Odin stops after "NAND Write Start!!". 1 hour later, it still shows "NAND Write Start!!". In download and "Screen of dead" mode are these errors.
But i have actually a bigger problem.
The phone doesn't start.
Power key -> screen is black.
Download mode -> screen is black.
Recovery mode -> screen is black.
Battery change does not help.
Battery is fully charged.

Did you use .pit file?
No, for my device I have only 1 file (PDA).
But, I can't start it. Is there a "master reset" or something else?

happen to me once. what i did is just restart odin.
First when connect odin and u go to dl mode. push power button volume up and down.phone will shut and it will show charging mode.then push power button up and down and go to dl mode again. ur odin will detect ur device (COM) yellow. then put ur PIT and PDA dont check "repartition" press start and ur good to go. Hope it helps
So, out of pure arrogance, I screwed up my Samsung Vibrant.
I read some things on the Odin program, and followed some tutorials.
I have my phone in download mode, I have the pit and pda file in place in Odin, my phone is coming up as "0:[COM4]", but when I click start, this happens:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> cache.rfs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then it just sits on cache.rfs forever.
My settings are;
Re-Partition [Disabled]
Auto Reboot [Enabled]
F. Reset Time [Enabled]
Am I doing something wrong?
<sigh> I figured it out. I always seem to not realize the smallest of mistakes :c
Try this, as odin can be a tempermental piece of software. Unplug your phone and pull the battery. Close odin, relaunch it and load your pit and tar files. Boot phone to dl mode, let odin recognize the com port and start flashing odin within 20 seconds or so after your phoje is in dl mode. Sometimes if you wait too long after booting to dl mode, odin just won't work. Good luck.
Edited: nvm, glad you got it working!

As the title says, today I tried updating my phone to the latest firmware. Samsumg Kies downloaded the new firmware, and the update was going. After it "finished", it said:
"SGH-T959 could not be upgraded
1. Detach and reattach the mobile phone's battery.
2. Reboot the mobile phone, and then try the upgrade again."
So I did all it asked, to go into Emergency Recovery, and my phone does not go into the mode. It's stuck on this black screen with an image like this (Phone .. ! .. PC).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Some other info: I've never done any fancy work on this phone, such as rooting, etc. The only time I touched its firmware was using the Samsumg Kies before to upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2, whatever is the latest one right now.
UPDATE!:
So after trying many times with Odin, and doing the download mode thing, I decided to run Samsung Kies again. In the Emergency Recovery it told me to press the UP and DOWN volume button, but never really explained how. It didnt specify that it was trying to put me into download mode.
So, I went into Samsung Kies, did the STEP by STEP of going into Download mode of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737. The Emergency Recovery mode started working into Kies. I now have my phone back up and running.
NOTE: My screen setup was changed. I had only 3 tabs and now its back to 7, and the apps arent in place (BUT THEY ARE ALL HERE!).
Thank you laylovj for your time and all the help!
SOunds like a softbrick. You better hope that you have backups of everything cause you might have to ODIN back to stock firmware.
I don't mind losing everything, as long as I get it working. Mind pointing me out to a good guide?
Thank you.
Use the ODIN 1.7 from

I was about to post about that when you edited it. It does not go into download mode. I will try as soon as the JFD download is done. Thanks so far!
So I downloaded Odin and all the other files. Did the whole thing of going into download mode, even though it didnt change the screen, in Odin, it seemed to recognize my phone as a yellow box showed with 0:[COM4]. The only files that were able to be chosen were PIT and PHONE. When I clicked PDA, no file appeared, and neither did CSC and ETC. So I clicked START, and its now stuck on SetupConnection. It's been there for about 5 minutes now, is this normal?
Also, before upgrading to Froyo, try out some custom roms if you're feeling brave.
And if this ever happens again, pull out battery first, then remove the USB to avoid it again.
Can I fix it first then do a ROM after? I did want to do it before, because my phone was freezing at random times doing basic stuff, but I was afraid it would brick my phone. But right now it can't get any worse lol
I just want it to work, if it works, i'll try a different ROM.
Update: I did the Odin again, and now I got "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
Wont go any further then that.
Wait so you didn't choose a PDA? Did you extract the JFD zip file? You weren't supposed to.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere I needed to extract, but guess I was wrong. So this time I re did everything, and was able to select the PDA file. I clicked start, and this is what I got:

care to screen shot your Odin setup?
Odin 1. tends to get stuck there....battery pull and try again.
Here it is:

Like I said, try a battery pull and do it again and I do recommend 1.7..much safer. Try it again with 1.7.
Tried once again with v1.00 and it kept getting stuck at cache.rfs.
So I tried twice with v1.7 and I keep getting this:

EDIT: Could I try another PDA and PIT file? How does another ROM would work? Is it just other files in the place of these PDA and PIT files?
Try redownloading the files...I really don't know what else to say.
-DO you get a different [COM#] if you try to go to download mode than if you hold the power button? (should come up as warning still)

I have gotten COM3, COM4, and COM5. Pretty sure I did the same steps every time though.

Never tried it....you can try heimdall as well, but I really don't know how to use it either...
HI
I got here a bricked i9300.
It freezes on Samsung logo.
I cant open recovery, but it does enter download mode.
First thing I tried was flashing stock firmware via Odin: I got "There is no PIT partition"
So I closed Odin and reopened it and tried flashing the PIT file.
It froze on SetupConnection.
I shut off the phone and entered download mode again and tried to flash the PIT.
Now it froze on Get PIT for mapping..
I closed Odin and reopened it... Froze on SetupConection.
Shut of the phone... Download mode... Odin...
I set the PIT and marked Nand Erase All
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Erase...
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Every time I try to do something via Odin the phone seems to freeze and wont pass trough SetupConnection anymore.
If I restart it to download mode, it will try to do something but I get those errors.
If I shut it down and put it to charge, it will take longer than usual to show the static battery icon (the one with a circle), and wont pass trough it. It will freeze there.
I also tried the Kies tool where you put Model and S/N, it finds the phone, I accept the terms and then get a message that "this version cannot be updated".
WHat the hell can I do? Is this motherboard gone for good?
Very much the same here! I hope there is a solution for this problame
Did you try ticking repartition in Odin and flash firmware with pit. Hope that'll do.

Try using Samsung Kies 3. Go to Tools, then Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.
This happened to me and I was able to unbrick my phone.

So my phone was working fine last night before I went to bed, woke up this morning and it was blank. I assumed it was a dead battery so I chucked it on the charger and when I came back to it 30 mins later it still only had the empty battery icon with the wait indicator (But the wait indicator isn't moving at all) and nothing else. When I turn it on it gets to the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" screen and remains there. I can't get into recovery mode at all (it just brings up the same frozen SGS II label screen). I can however get into ODIN mode but can't flash anything.
Before it died I was running a rooted stock ICS firmware. I tried removing the SD & SIM just in case it was one of those causing the issue but no additional luck.
I have been very slack and haven't taken a backup of the phone in quite a while and recovery of the files on there is my main objective. If I can't use the phone again I don't care, so long as I can get the files back.
In ODIN mode I tried flashing Siyah and CWM but it fails:

I also tried making a USB Jig to get it into factory load mode but I get the same results. Any file (Bootloader, modem, PDA) that I try to flash hangs at NAND Write Start!!
Phone shows no change at all when the file is being loaded to it, no progress bar etc.
Really hoping someone can help me so I can at least get my files from the device. Is there any way I can remove the internal "SD" card or access it directly from a PC?
Anyone??? I really need to get some files from it.
I do believe that ICS had a hard brick issue... Why were you even using ICS when there's official jelly bean ?!

Code:
*** Trouble Shoot for all Odin Packages... Read below... ***
If your phone is not being recognized by Odin, try the following.
- Use a different USB computer port
- Use a different USB cable
If for some reason Odin does ever give you a FAIL or the process hangs up for more than 5 minutes in one spot then do the following.
- Pull your battery out of your device and leave it out.
- Plug in your device via USB cable and connect it to your computer.
- Then boot into Download Mode (hold 1 on physical keyboard and press power).
- Run the Odin package.
- When completed and you get the Green PASS, you can pop your battery back in and then reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
Note: Some devices have given some trouble and you have to attempt this twice to get it to work. Also make sure all anti virus software is off/disabled. One last option is remove your sdcard if everything else fails.
