Hi guy's im a total newbie i read and read for 1 week before even atempting to update via odin problem now is i think ive stuffed it!! kies dosnt recodnise it cant get menu at all and every time i try to upload the firmware i get fail at last hurdle the download trick still works!!so i can still download into it using odin problem is it comes up with fail!!! im sure its something simple im missing but cant point my finger to it. the only thing on screen when i switch on is picture of a phone with a yellow triangle in middle and a picture of a pc on other end!!!!help me please guys
First thing in any Odin flashing guide is to install Kies for the driver and they uninstall it completelly! Odin and Kies don't like each other and one can make the other fail.
ive removed kies but still get fail i found the cause of my problems i had to put kernel update into bootloader in odin did that and phone woke up again alls working good again id still like to load that new firmware tho where do i put the firware to upload into pda or phone in odin? any help and id be really greatfull?
You need to select the file as PDA option to flash it. Check any of the tutorials about using Odin if you're still having problems.

I have both Odin and Kies installed and have never had any issues. In the past I used to kill the kies process form the task manager but nowadays I don't even bother.

hi.
i've been trying since yesterday to upgrade to gingerbread with no luck.
Kies detects my phone and prompts me to upgrade. right when it's supposed to start the procedure, it loses connection with the phone then reconnects and prompts me again to upgrade. so i'm stuck in this loop.
i have the latest version, i tried to uninstall/re-install Kies several times, reboot the computer, hard reset the phone, unroot.. nothing worked.
can't use odin either. i downloaded the firmware S5830JPKP9 from samfirmware but there were olny 3 files included (APBOOT_S5830JPKP9, CODE_S5830JPKP9, GT-S5830-MULTI-CSC-OJPKP3) and no MODEM file. someone already bricked his phone flashing it without the modem file.
so now im stuck!

Kies is one of the worst ways to upgrade your phone . Use ODIN .

Try flashing another 2.3.3 if you are planning to use the other 2.3.3 but without MODEM . That way it'll ensure greater safety when changing versions

Thanks Samsung
Kies is the best tools to upgrade firmware, as it peform full backup and full restore during upgrade.
How much time you perform upgrade with ODNI, and install all you apps + data ? waste a lot times.....
kies is best suited for newbies like me, once i flashed my phone with odin without backing up my data it was like hell installing every thing back.... now a days i use Titanium back up pro or My back up pro before flashing my phone with odin,,,

i wouldnt want to end up with brick
well i tried it and it works but i'm really disappointed with this firmware.
wake up lag is worse than with froyo. some weird behavior with calls and with titanium backup..
i'm thinking of going back to froyo :'(
Even I spent a whole day over trying to upgrade with Kies. It threw up all kinds of weird errors, sometimes quit downloading saying it's corrupt, or just stop in the middle of installation and bricked my phone. Finally just ODIN'd the one-package from samfirmware. It works over DDKC1. No need for any other GB as base first.
To me , I'd rather use iTunes than Kies . It throws less errors .

Don't be afraid to brick your phone. It's an awesome experience. You can unbrick it anyway by flashing a new firmware . Bricked my phone countless times already
Hi,
I desperatly need your help yesterday i wanted to flash a new firmware on my samsung galaxy s2 and since i'm stuck on download mode after figuring out how to get it unbriked but i cant do more, it wont go in recovery mode at all and odin doesnt install any firmware at all it gets stuck on SetupConection and wont go any futher, the only thing that does work is when i flash a Kernel on its own, but that just takes me to SAMsung galaxy s2 boot up with yellow triangle and doesnt go any futher, have to keep taking battery out, pressing volume keys usb plugged in and battery back in to go into download mode, please help it's only 3 days old

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

I have the Telus Galaxy note and since this was my first android phone I learned about rooting .. so I tried it tho it didn't seem to be very successful except if I tried to do anything with downloading roms the screen would go black and I would have to hook it back to my computer and run odin and reflash it just to get it back on .... tonight I don't know why but I (not even thinking ) decided to do a factory reset and when it went to go do it my phone did the same thing .. black screen but this time wont show up in odin .. I got it too once but the flash failed . so as of right now I can put my phone into odin mode but that's really all at this point , I hope someone can help me because im running out of options and am no good at this

Are you trying to flash a custom rom?
try a different usb port and or cable..might help. good luck!
Check out mobile tech videos on YouTube. They have services to root and rom phones.

All I know is im hooking up my note to the computer and odin wont pick it up . I know its not a usb or driver problem and what ive had to do before is hook it to odin and select the PDA and press start and my phone worked fine
Try playing with usb debugging on/off. Reinstall the drivers. I had a real hard time getting odin to see my captivate on my 64bit win 7 laptop. But my desktop pc works everytime. Make sure the usb cable is plugged into the back if you are on a desktop. Make sure you are running odin as administrator.

Why are people flashing with Odin? Drop the rom on the SD and do it through cwm. All the flashing problems are from people flashing through Odin.

Now that you mention it you are CORRECT. Doesn't flashing in odin increase your flash counter or something like that? Please excuse my noob-ness
Good day,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, which I recently unrooted. I followed this guide to unroot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613
I used Odin3, v1.85. The file I put in the PDA section was downloaded from the site in the guide and was the following: I9300XXALF5_I9300PROALF1_I9300XXLF5_HOME.tar.md5
I did run into some problems while attempting to unroot though, a few times I started the process in Odin to find it had failed after the first quarter of the bar was filled. I think this might have had something to do with my pc ejecting my phone whenever it felt like, but I'm not completely sure (the rooting was done on a different pc by someone else). Of course, because of that I couldn't properly start my phone and it gave me an error message about the firmware not being correctly installed. I persisted and eventually I got it working, though no idea how I managed.
Now, before the root and during the root I had Android 4.1.1, but after the unrooting it went to 4.0.4. Whenever I try to search for an update, either via WiFi, 3G or even Kies on the pc, it says there aren't any new updates. Device status is normal, and custom binary download is No. Bought my phone in Belgium, if that matters any.
Screenshot of the about screens in attachment. Is there anything I can do to get it to update, preferably without the use of Odin?
Please be gentle, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and I'm not looking to reroot.
Thank you for reading through!
just connect your phone with computer and update via samsung kies
else, download the firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmware/ for your country and flash using pc odin

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I however already tried with Samsung Kies, and it says there isn't an update there too. I tried finding the latest firmware on the site you linked for unrooting, and it came up with the file I mentioned in the first post, which resulted in 4.0.4. I'm kinda hesitant to flash again, since I encountered problems when I unrooted.
EDIT: Just tried with Kies again, and it tells me it is the latest firmware. It says something like this:
PDA:LF5/PHONE:LF5/CSC:LF1 (PRO)
Root your phone again
And install mobile odin
Then wipe data and cache using Mobile Odin
It will factory reset
Then you will see that your device status becomes normal
Then go to super su settings and choose full unroot

Thank you! I will try that soon, when I have time. Just a question though, is there no need for Triangle Away with this method? I remember using it for the unroot before.
I think you should also use triangle away to reset the flash counters

Guess I'll post it here for people who happen upon the same problem.
Got it fixed, using this guide:
androidcritics.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-official-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-xxdlib-firmware/
Basically just used Odin to flash the file downloaded there (I9300XXDLIB_I9300OXFDLI1_I9300XXDLIB_HOME.tar.md5) on the phone, worked after the second try. I think my problem is that my computer decides to eject my phone whenever it feels like.
After flashing 4.1.1, it found and installed 4.1.2 update, so I think it's fixed now.
Thanks to everyone who helped. Cheers!
Hi everyone
I tried to upgrade using odin but forgot to enable usb debugging and upgrade failed.
Now I have only download mode and odin is asking me for PIT file.
I have searched but canno`t find pit file anywhere - probably because it doesen`t exist
I need some help please, what can I do?
BTW, since hot file is down I don`t know where to get original firmware and if I get it, will it help since I I`m running in circles with this pit file request from odin..

SOLVED!!!
I didn't have recovery no matter what combination of buttons I pressed. Only thing I had was message from download mode that upgrade failed and that I need to connect to Kies for emergency recovery!
That's what I did,
Downloaded Kies and connected my phone, tried to upgrade firmware and after inputting my model and serial number it downloaded original firmware that came with the phone and Kies resolved the whole problem!
I was worried that it might not work because I was rooted and had custom recovery installed before the problem but the process took about 40min to complete and all my apps and settings were saved!
+1 for Samsung Kies
I hope that someone will benefit from this.
