I own Samsung galaxy S. by mistake I used the wrong ROM files (odin) and now its running "AT&T SGH-i897 (Captivate) ROM". the home screen is not working and the phone restarting every ~ 2 minutes.
I've tried to update using ODIN but the computer doesn't recognize the phone (not a drivers issue).
On the recovery mode it failed to use the update.zip files.
I tried to format everything, full wipe and factory defaults - didn't help.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
-Yaniv
if odin doesn't recognize your phone its probably a driver issue, use samsung lies to install drivers ( even if soft bricked), then get into download mode and odin should recognize your phone
had nightmares with stupid odin.
i know what the problem is. it is the computer. get another computer and try. preferably on XP. i went through 3 computers till the damned odin would listen to me.

Hello everyone,
I have been trying to find a way to get out of the Vibrant screen for my phone.
This happen by me having the Obsidian 4.2 installed with Black Froyo, and I was trying to restore to get the Sims 3 and Thinkfree office because it was not available when I flashed my phone.
I have a backup using ROM Manager on my laptop. I am using a Mac, and I have Parallels installed with XP. Problem is I have ODIN installed and been trying to have ODIN recognized the Vibrant in order to start the process, but it has not recognize the device. I thought I had all drivers installed, and I would appreciate any help.
The device is recognized when I have it in the Recovery mode, but not in download mode.
Odin is super finicky but this process usually works. Plug your phone into your usb port while it's still off. Bring up odin but don't put the files you want in it yet. Now boot your phone into download mode. After the com port comes up in odin load the files into thier proper fields and install. Hope that helps.

if you can get to clockwork recovery, you can mount your phone to your computer (the option that says USB, like the 2nd or 3rd option). You could then move a rom with kernel to your phone and flash it.
I think your problem is you were trying to go from 2.2 to 2.1 (nandroids do not restore the kernel, hence it will hang at the Vibrant screen). Perhaps you have voodoo or another lag fix and didnt disable it?
Also, my noob version in my signature show the proper steps for ODIN, and has a video.
Thank you the process work. I had Windows running on Parallels and it messed everything up. Had to reboot only with Windows though. i just resetted everything until I become more familiar with the process.
Hi, I have mistakenly flashed the wrong CWM to the Samsung Young running 4.1.2 I believe. This happened after i did a standard facory reset for family (phone was aready rooted) and after CWM kept on rebooting into CWM recover screen, tried recovery fix to no avail. so flashed another CWM via zip but I think that was for the samsung fame.
Phone is black screen, no image or recovery screen (working blind)
The phone can be seen by Windows device manager and it install the com port and the composite device and the normal sounds when the phone is disconnected and reconnected.
I have tried using ODIN (v.1.89 and 1.9) to put S6310N firmware back onto the phone (PDA, CSC and MODEM) but ODIN hangs at 'Setupconnection'
I run odin as admin, have tried different ports, cables, computer and taking battery out etc.ODIN shows 'Added' when i remove and reconnect so it can see it.
My question is does Odin have to be on the same port as the phone (mine shows 13 in Odin) but actual phone in windows 7 device manager is 12
I left ODIN for 30 mins but nothing changed.
Do I need the bootloader and pit file?
Would I need to adb (if thats now possible) to turn of usb debugging- could that be the problem?
I realise i'm now at the hard brick stage so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Hi everyone,
I have an SII GT- I9100 that I installed a custom ROM on a while back (probably 2 years ago). After a while it got badly bricked I don't remember what happened, and not only that
the charging port was also messed up so I couldn't connect it to my pc (pc wouldn't recognize it unless I held the cable in with force, but even that didn't work after some time).
It's been sitting on a shelf for about a year and I decided to buy a new charging port, replace it, unbrick it and give it to my mom.
I did replace it and I can connect it to my pc now but there's still issues. On my main windows 10 pc it gives me an error "USB device not recognized, the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". (I've reinstalled usb drivers and troubleshooted with Kies).
I keep the phone in download mode while I am trying to connect it to my pc since I can't boot into anything (I have a yellow triangle and Samsung logo if I don't go into download mode).
On my laptop (win 7) I've managed to get windows to install all the drivers(even though it failed a couple times ?), I've also troubleshooted with Kies, still Kies can't connect to it.
I want to restore it to stock ROM but I haven't been successful.
I've tried many different Odin versions, nothing.
I've been trying a stock ROM for the country and network I think it was on(I don't know it for sure, could this be an issue ?), and a set of CSC, MODEM and CODE XXLSJ files.
In all the Odin versions I've tried it gets stuck on NAND write start !! what's going on here?
Is it beyond repair?
btw. I can't get into recovery mode just DL mode.
Thanks in advance!
Hello.
I have a GT-i9100. It gets stuck in a bootloop, won't let me access recovery mode but it does go into download mode. I have the usb that came with it which I've used for file xfer a lot without any issues. When I try to flash it with odin, odin won't recognise my phone. I have samsung drivers installed and I'm running windows 7. I tried to connect it to 2 different PCs. Is there anything at all that I can do to save my phone? I wanted to flash it so I can try recover some of old photos I have on it. I don't particularly care to make the phone itself usable again as long as I can recover my files.
Thanks for your help.
Hello
I have the US Wifi Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019
I tried to do a flash and something went wrong. Odin froze and when I went to cancel the download, it booted back up with
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function
in the Smart Switch PC software.
I tried using the emergency recovery but it wont recognize the device. I reinstalled
the USB drivers but no go. Only one time it worked it said the device was unrecognized.
Am I screwed?
