Hello, I was attempting to flash Clockwork Mod on my G5, whilst doing it Odin crashed and now my phone is messed up.
It will turn on but a PC-Triangle with a ! in the middle-Phone, it will go into Download Mode but Odin doesn't recognise it so i can't re-flash it, any ideas?
Please help, this is urgent.
The phone itself is on stock, it turns on but displays the error i have described above, it will go into download mode but Odin doesn't recognsie it.
Thanks, Curtis.

No need to worry about it.
Uninstall the drivers associated with the phone. Are you using Windows?
For XP: Go to start > Control Panel > System > Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Find the driver for the phone. I remember it has a yellow icon, and the drivers name is a mix of capital letters
It's probably similar for Windows 7, but i wouldn't know.
Uninstall the driver associated with the phone, then reinstall by plugging your phone into the computer in download mode. It would help to uninstall and reinstall Odin as well, just in case.
If you get Odin to work, just work away like you would.
Thanks for your reply, i have uninstalled the drivers, but when i plugged my phone back in, the drivers are not being installed and i can not find them on the internet. Any ideas?
I know how i messed up, i completely forgot to root my phone before i started to flash, any ideas on how i can just get my phone back to its normal working everyday self?
Will i just need to get the device recognised by Odin then insert the Ops file and the I5500.tar file and flash it back to stock?
edit- managed to get drivers installed, now how do i fix my phone? Just flash the .OPS and the stock I5500.tar file?

I think it'll fail again if your phone isn't rooted. You can't get rid of the Computer-Caution-Phone image without succesfully using Odin.
You could try to flash the .tar and .ops file again. I can't see it working though unfortunately.
Any ideas then? Is there a way to root my phone via Odin or anything?

I've never heard of rooting your phone through the download mode or through Odin.
Maybe there's a file you can put on your phone through Odin which doesn't require root? I'll take a look around for you.
Thank you so much, i appreciate it, I'm 16, can't really live without a phone especially with college parties coming up in the next few days aha, I knew i shouldn't of risked around with flashing again!

Just thinking that Odin is a program which requires root so there won't be any file you can transfer when unrooted. I had a quick glance over at the Odin thread, and the first step is that you have to root your phone.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can think of which might help. Maybe if somebody with a bit more knowledge/expeerience sees this thread, they might help.
Can Odin detect your phone?
Ah man, thanks anyway, yes Odin detects my phone, I'm trying to use SuperOneClick Root on my PC- Do you know any other Root software that works on PC?

I don't know of any others, but Superoneclick works fine for the Galaxy 5. Like I said, I've never heard of using it during download mode so just be careful with that.
If Odin detects your phone, have you tried just closing Odin and plugging out the USB safely?
Can't use Superoneclick as my phone isn't in USB Debugging and i obviously can't change that aha I have just tried that, no luck with the closing Odin and unplugging it, should i try installing CWM again or is that a bad idea?

It's a bad idea because it just won't work. Odin will crash again.
I don't know what to do I'm afraid.
Looks like my phone is shagged due to my own stupidity, I forgot to root it because my phone was previously rooted and it went back for repairs, then I completely forgot i didnt install Root access -.-
Do you think i can recover my phone or is it well and truly gone?
Well it's not like your phone is bricked or anything. It's just broken a connection to Odin and it won't boot until it's completed.
You could always return it for repairs again. Your warranty might be broken though.
If I happen to come across a DIY fix then I'll post it here.
Thanks for your help mate, i've decided to just send my phone back for repairs, buy a new phone (Probably a Blackberry for BBM and stuff with all my mates), and sell my phone once i get it back.I have gave up on Samsung mobiles.
Thank you.
Did you send your phone alredy? Uncompress the firmware.tar file and unselect "one package in Odin" . On the boot in odin select the boot file of the .tar and run odin. Maybe that will help

Hi, had the very same issue as you. Odin crashed just few sec after start. What I did ; uninstalled everything (Odin & files comes with it, KIES). Then restart PC, go to Samsung.com and download latest KIES, when downloaded go to Tools and check for updates. Accept/run them, when done restart PC. Now, read the steps bellow, and see the attached picture.
1. Extract Odin v4.28 and Ops File.zip I5500XXXX.rar
2. Open Odin v4.28,
- Select OPS tab: EUROPA_v1.0.ops
- Make sure Auto Reboot & Protect OPS selected in Option tab
- get this I5500XFJPQ from samfirware.com ( for some strange reason only this package worked!), download, and unzipp to folder called GT-I5500. In to this folder place Odin and ops as well.
- Make sure One Package selected in Option tab
3. Turn off phone, remove battery for 5second, put it back
4. Hold "Volume Down, Center button & Power button" in the same time to enter Download Mode (yellow triangle)
5. Connect to PC with USB cable
6. When the data line and the phone connection is successful, com port shows yellow in Odin
7. Press Start on Odin
8. Waitin & Pray!
9. PASS, its done!
*Hard reset after flashing *2767*3855#
*Check ur Phone Info *#*#1234#*#*
Note: my i5500 was rooted, so if was yours then ok. When pressing buttons you must see an yellow triangle! If you don't see it don't try connect. Remove battery for 3-5 minutes and try again...
Thanks for the replies, I've got my 'broken' phone in its box on my wardrobe, Carphone Warehouse have ordered me a brand new G5 to replace mine, I should get that sometime next week, but I'm buying a HTC Wildfire S pretty soon anyway!
Thanks for your help, I'd rather keep my broken phone well, broke aha.
Have you tried flashing twrp recovery then using cf-autoroot?
I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to my problem.
GT-I9100 (Sprint)
I hate to admit I am somewhat of a noob. But pretty good at following instructions. I tried to install ics using Odin.
PDA –—> I9100_CODE_I9100XXKPA_CL51925_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone –—> MODEM_I9100XXKPA_REV_02_CL1094591.tar.md5
CSC –—> GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXAKPA.tar.md5
The first instructions I read din't say to do the pit file. So I didn't. I have read later that I should have. The process failed. And when I restarted the phone I can only get to the download screen. When I try to get to recovery I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also get the same message if I simply plug the usb into the phone while off, before any buttons are pushed.
Neither Kies or Odin recognize the phone anymore. I've tried different USB ports, a different computer. And I've hooked up a friends AT & T Galaxy S2 and it's recognized fine. Neither computer I've used even makes the beep when you hook up the phone.
The short is since it connected before the flash, and the other phone is showing I'm confident it's not PC related. But not being able to get anywhere besides the download screen has my hands tied to do anything else.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And I have searched all over and can only find similar problems that turn out to be PC related.

Firstly... Being from Sprint... Are you 100% SURE that you have the GT-I9100? What does your device look like? Does it have a middle "hard button" at the bottom?
Product Name
It shows:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100
at the top of the download screen. There are the four buttons across the bottom. Not what I call physical buttons, because they don't move. I guess they would be called soft buttons below the screen.
You don't have an I9100 and are in the wrong forums.
Do you know what I have then?
Probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
But you might want to check under your battery before blindly flashing stuff for the wrong device.
open odin look that kies process is not runing on the background.
Try to boot your phone the message from firmware upgrade failed will come on the screen, when you're on this screen plug yor phone it will be recognized on odin, then leave it plugged in and shutdown the phone and get on download mode it will be recognized
last flash stock firmware complete i always use the XXKI3 with pit file, all of this if u phone is gt i9100
this was what i did, have the same problem in a bad flash of stock GB firmware (2 days ago) same screen and same problem, doing that (read it on a post somewhere) helped me
I was wrong. Its not the i9100. Its the galaxy s2 epic touch. Yeah.... Im kicking myself now. I did try what you said and it didnt work. I posted in the correct thread and was told im bricked.

aw that sucks! i guess you have to buy an usb jig now! Dont worry, its cheap and very usefull it also resets your flash counter
Can you point me in the direction of where to get a USB jig?
Just figured out what the USB jig does. Wont work for me. I cant take the phone back. I cancelled my plan with sprint. I use this phone as a second device. I may have to do JTag... But its going to be $50.

Hi there
Check your usb connections please, one of the most common and unmentioned problems with ODIN is that it doesnt like being connected through hubs or non usb2 ports, i failed with odin quite a few times, until i disconnected my phone from the usb hub and connected it directly to the pc usb2 port, everything was fine after that.
Odin doesnt usually fail, what files are you flashing, is the firmware a 1 file package or multiple files with a .pit file??
If its 1 file, make sure you untick repartition.
Odin is solid, i would ask you to go away and check all the above, use odin 1.83 which is the best version i found, then try again, also check your lead, sometimes cheap usb leads are designed for charging and not syncing.
Good luck
---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
also the black screen mode is because the flash failed, you need to re enter download mode, and reflash until you get a pass, if it fails again, check md5 sums or download a generic s2 firmware and try again, its not bricked dont worry, as long as you do it right it will be fine.
thank for ur info.
anyway to get the hell out of the black scren??..
i connot re-enter the download mode... keep stuck in the black screen with a phone connecting to a computer with a yellow triangle warning sign!..
Can u get into clockworkmod recovery?
Press Home+volume up+ power key until you get to cwm recovery.
And yes you probably connected your phone through a hub or usb1 port.
If nothing else works you'll need a jig to restart into download mode. Try and look for the jig thread on general sgs2 forum for free locations.
That's forced download mode I.E. it's forcing you to flash something. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware or Checkfus & flash it with Odin.
Absolutley these guys are right, even if your flash has failed you should still be able to enter download mode, are you sure you cant, VOLUME DOWN, MIDDLE BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON, keep them all held down and it will boot to DL Mode, every time mine got a fail i still got to dl mode no problem.
Failing that yer, get a jig, usually they come from singapore, so if you cant wait that long pop to an electronics store, buy the resistors you need and a micro usb plug and make one, i made one yesterday and it cost me £1.40 to make, although its a makeshift for emergencies, it will do until the one ive ordered arrives.
Keep trying dl mode, no reason to not get into it.

^This.
Also, OP, make sure you are flashing an I9100G firmware, and NOT an I9100 firmware. Likely that was the cause of your predicament in the first place, as that is the common cause of this screen being reached.
That sounds like a brick software, I get some like this time ago

tried to flash the phone from ODIN and failed, most probably he done it wrong. The only thing the phone does is displaying an icon in the middle of the screen with a phone and a PC and an exclamation point in between them. I can`t get it to enter in download mode (volume down+home+power) and I can`t start it eather. It just stays at that icon. Kies is not recognizing the phone although the drivers are installed. When I pluged the phone for the first time in the PC it automatically instaled 2 drivers and that was it. Is it bricked? I haven`t seen this before.
The phone is an SGS 2 model GT-I9100G, ssn I9100GGSMH.
I hav downloaded 2 official firmware, 2.3.6 and 4.0 .. all is Malaysia..
flash so many times and keep failing..

Depends on what you have already tried flashing since you originally got into this mess in the first place.
If you started blindly flashing stuff for any which device, it's possible you have borked your device to the point where your PC will no longer detect it.
Say, if you tried flashing a Fascinate ROM or similar to a Vibrant.
I'm just guessing that's what happened, because you started this thread in the Fascinate forum.
The Fascinate and the Vibrant are two completely different models of phones. The Fascinate is the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S, and is a CDMA phone. You have a Telus version of the Vibrant, which is a GSM phone.
So if you flashed something out of the Fascinate forum to your SGH-T959D Vibrant, you likely caused this issue yourself. And why are you in the I9100 forum trying to solve your problem?
Go to the Vibrant forum for your problem with your Vibrant phone.

Hey all.... Long time lurker and reader here. I usually find all my answers through previous posts but I'm a little stuck here and cannot find the appropriate guide to help me out.
I have a GT-P7510 which has always been rooted and has had a few ROM lifes, so I'm no stranger to CWM and download mode, Odin Etc... (But I'm certainly no expert by any means)
Last week I tried a flash and ended up bricked. (Soft brick) I tried several times to flash back to stock with the current as well as last known good firmware from SamFiles, but ODIN would fail partially through the flash. I got the message "Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1876)", so I checked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1370433 But that didn't help me.... And now, my tab is not recognized in any of the laptops or desktops I plug it into. (WinXP, WinVista, Win7 -- Kies drivers all fresh from Samsung)
I can get into Download mode. I can get into recovery, (I have done a wipe/re-format Factory reset in recovery a few times now) but nothing seems to help. I'd be willing to learn how to probe around with ADB, but haven't tried for lack of a driver being recognized. I have a few Linux boxes here at the house and haven't tried them. I wouldn't know where to start if the device was recognized by them.
Any suggestions on how to get the device recognized? Or, maybe what I can do from CWM (Sideload?). or even if I get an ADB connection from one of my linux boxes, would I be able to re-flash the firmware?
Thanks in advance.
first thing is to check your cable, then your pc drivers, if u can get in to cwm, try a new cable and mount the usb from there, put in a new rom, and flash it.
hope this helps, dude. Good luck.
If you foobarred the tab by a failed flash using Odin as you described logic would dictate that it has absolutely nothing too do with pc drivers suddenly not being good if they worked before, same for pc and cable.
You need to reinstall using Odin as you say you can get into download, using a .pit file, ticking repartition, and a stock firmware file. If that works you can go on to play another day....
If you're not sue about stuff you're using, good version of Odin (not all versions flash the 7510 properly) for 7510 and drivers are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518895

Back to the drawing board I guess... I have a new cable on-order. However I was able to get the driver loaded by utilizing the dreaded "Plug - Unplug" routine several times until I just got lucky.
Odin can see it as COM5, and I used your pit (Again, TY!) I tried using the "P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL" file I got from Samsung, but Odin is locked up at this point. (See screen cap)
I'll keep beating my head against this wall
:silly:
Odin 1.85 is just about the most random version of the prog when it comes to the 7510...
Try the one I have posted below (v1.3) it has never let me down (whereas 1.85 often has done to me what it is doing to you)
Worth a try

Yes. Sorry I forgot to mention that.
I saw your other post and did grab that 1.3 version. However, When I get the drivers loaded (When windows "sees" the tablet after plugging and unplugging numerous times) It will show up as COM3 or COM5 in any version of odin Except 1.3.
I tried various versions of Odin and when they all see the com port, 1.3 does not. Truly bizarre to me.... With 1.85 and or 1.7 I was successful in just loading the pit file, but if I try to load a PDA, it just freezes.
I installed Android SDK and started playing with ADB yesterday. I haven't had much success in addressing the Tablet. Also, I cannot get into recovery any more. It appears that the tablet is stuck in download mode, as if it's in a loop. ('the device states that it's downloading even after a reboot with no cable attached.)
My new cables will be here in a couple of days. Until then, I'm letting the battery die completely and will try again with the new cables.

That's an odd one for the download reboot.... As normally you should get choice of recovery or download as first step... Would tend to signal a failed download
I've often seen people say here "have you tried a different computer?" and scoffed a bit at that but maybe in your case...
However to be scientific you should only change one variable at a time so as to know where the result comes from, so start with the cable and we can see where you go from there

Thank you again for all your help!
My new cables arrived and appeared to be at the center of the issue. Once plugged in, the drivers properly loaded and I was successful with Odin. I used the pit you gave me for a re-partition, and the UELPL PDA from Samfiles.
It was initially stuck in a boot loop after the successful flash, but I was able to reboot to recovery, F/R, wipe and clean it up and now it's ALIVE! :victory:

Noob trying to restore my stock I777 to Bone Stock (or anything!). I can only get into Odin Home but it will not boot.
I have tried Odin3 v1.7, 1.82, & 1.85.
In each of the Odin3 versions I can get the ID COM to show up. However when I use UCKH7 or UCMD8 it always fails on the writing to the phone.
I have tried on my Win 7 64 bit & XP SP3 machines with 3 different USB cables (all known good) and on every USB port.
After reading and reading I downloaded and tried to get any of the programs to recognize the phone: Kies, SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0, Android Studio, and Samsung PC studio (Debugged). I followed specific instructions to unstill, reboot, and install in order Kies and the Samsung USB drivers.
All I get is Gadget Serial Fails on the USB driver install. Samsung Mobile CDC Composite device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem install fine.
Is there something I am missing? Is my I777 bricked?
Mega thanks!

Update:
Phone is Bricked.
No problems though I have learned so much here and found a great source for cell tweaking!

If I understand your initial post correctly, the phone will go into download mode, and Odin will recognize the phone. The flash will start, but the flash will not complete. Is that correct?
If so, then I am pretty sure the phone is not bricked, and that it can be recovered.
Please post the exact failure text from Odin.

Hi Creepyncrawly - I was following along in one of your posts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2583580 and I believe I took the USB out of the phone too early in Step #6 of the 3rd post. Phone is Dead. I am 99% sure it is Super Hard Bricked. Prior to that it always failed on Nand Write in ODIN v1.85.
Thank you for all your posts and I will contribute to you for all your help through all the posts.

Super Hard Bricked I777 Stock
So, no sign of life, no screen, no buttons light up, nothing?

Correct - Nothing lights up or is shown on the screen; Plugged in is the same as unplugged. A True Brick!
Super Hard Bricked!
