Hey,
I decided last night I would try and backup my phone, however Kies thought it would be fun to start updating, and somehow it locked up. Now I get a message on my phone that says :-
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Now I have done what it says however everytime i connect it up i get a message saying "USB Device Not Recognised"
I have downloaded the drivers, with no such luck, and tried installing them via Kies again with no joy. Reading on the forum I found out about the recovery mode which I have manage to get the phone into and downloaded what I thought was the right thing but it's not working at all.
I think what Ideally i need is a way to get the phone back to a working version, I just have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded Odin as that seems to be a program that every page says.
Not sure if you need the information but it was on 3G UK network.
Sorry this probably sounds extremely noob like but I've spent 10 hours on it already and am confused beyond imagination
Kies is one of them horrible programs that just doesnt work properly.
as you have read about Odin, i will assume you know you can use this to flash a stock firmware to your phone.
Have a look for intratechs thread of offical firmwares (linked below), download one for your phone and flash it via odin.
Please read the top information in his thread it tells you what to do and how to do it.

How do i resolve the other issue of windows not recognizing it ?
put the phone in download mode and pc should recognize the phone
If we're talking about a phone running stock firmware that you've never mucked around with (rooted it, run non-stock firmware on it, etc, etc), send it in to Samsung/whomever you bought it from for warranty service.'
If you start flashing things in order to try & fix it, you run the slight risk you might brick it/void your warranty. Which means you end up paying to get it fixed.
I wouldn't tempt fate if I were in your situation.
If we're talking about a phone you've been mucking around with (like most of us here ), then go to Samfirmware.com & search for the original firmware that came with your phone & flash it following whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
Alternatively, if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your phone model/carrier/country, find/download the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). This will allow you to download a tarball of the latest available firmware for your carrier/country, which you can flash according to the instructions here.
Also, before you do anything, try a factory reset if you haven't already.
1.Find your new firmware version and download the file from the links
2.Extract the file, so that you now have a .tar file.
3.Download and run the Odin software from the provided link (200KB)
4.Reboot the phone to download mode
To do this, turn the phone off, then simultaneously press the volume down key, the home button and then press the power button. If you see a warning, press the volume up button to continue.
5.In Odin, click the button named “PDA” and select your .tar file (your rom).
If the rom has several files, also put in the PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC files. but do NOT put in a .pit file.
6.Connect the phone to the computer with usb cable, and wait till ID:COM turns yellow.
7.Click the “Start” button, and Odin will flash your rom.
As simple as that.
I have the files however CANNOT get windows to detect the phone....it simply refuses every single time.
All i get is USB Device Not Recognised
Which i get after holding down, Power, Vol Down and Menu till i get the download screen. Occassionally (VERY RARELY) it has been detected by odin then fails on factory

Are you plugged directly into a port on the PC, and not through a keyboard pass-through port, or a USB hub? Or have you tried a different cable?
Ok guys,
I have got it to the point it is able to flash now. Problem is I have some dodgy yellow ! and it wont go any further than that.
How do I get rid of that and get back to bog standard everything, I have used CheckFus and downloaded the firmware but it wont get rid of the !

Ok heres the deal, I tried a bunch of custom roms eventually leading to hybridv3 then I tried flashing with the Stock vibrant rom and that didnt work so I went to Vibrant4, then stupidly renamed the Stock vibrant rom to update.zip and used android recovery to update packages. Now my phone goes through the boot up but I just get a black screen. Is there any hope for me?
Your Fired! Lol..jk
I would use odin to reload the stock firmware.
I can't seem to get my Vibrant to show up on a com port, I have the pit and the tar files but my vibrant wont show up in odin.

I did something similar a while back. You may need to flask the stock rom via odin. The link to the thread for it is in the bible sticky in this section. Set up odin before you connect the phone to the computer. Also if you use windows vista or 7 you need to open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. For it to work you need to get the phone to download mode. Pull the battery, put it back in. dont touch the power button. Hold the up and down volume buttons and plug the usb into the phone when the other end is already plugged into the computer. It should be in dl mode. Good luck

trying now...
Odin is doing it's thing right now, Thank you so much!!
Just to recap since the correct information has never been added to an OP:
You must install ODIN and the correct USB drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7657252#post7657252 .
Get the phone into download mode. Several different instructions have been posted meaning either different versions of the same phone get into DLM different ways or everyone else is posting the wrong instructions.
What works on mine: Have phone off, ODIN open, and correct USB drivers already installed. HOLD vol up+vol down and plug in the USB, and do not touch the power button.
hi every body , my t-mobile vibrant has breaked because i have flash incorrect pit file with odin, now my phone is off and have the black screen and odin can't know my phone ,i do every way i know but it's still in black screen and not runing downloading mod or recovery, and odin can't know it too , somebody help me ...
There are about a 1000 different posts on this forum and others that explain the half-dozen (or more) ways to get your phone into download mode. They don't all work on every Vibrant, but keep trying. One of them will work. If all else fails, buy/make a usb jig that will force it into DL mode. This one works for me every time: With Odin open, plug USB cable into your computer. Pull your battery out and leave it out. Hold down both the volume up AND down buttons at the same time and plug the USB data cable into the phone.
N.B. 1. If you aren't using a Samsung data cable, this may fail.
2. Try different (older) versions of Odin. My phone for some reason really prefers Odin 3 Version 1.0--no idea why, but it would sometimes hang with later versions.
3. Run Odin as Admin. (Right click, run as, etc...)
If you need an older version of Odin, search. After that, if you can't find it, search some more. If that fails, PM me and I will put v1.0 up (but I know you will find it before it comes to that)
Edit: Get the proper pit file here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/stockodinjfd/files/s1_odin_20100512.pit/download and don't ever use anything else unless a trusted developer tells you to.
It never seizes to amaze me how people just start flashing away without doing the proper research and understanding what flashing an Android phone is all about.
Unbelievable
You need to get your phone to a download mode. To get the download mode:
1. Unplug your phone
2. Pull the battery
3. Make sure the other end of the usb is still connected to a PC
4. Press and hold Vol Up and Down
5. Plug the USB to your phone
6. Slide the battery in
I did all of those steps with two hands. lolz
Good luck

I usually work with iPhones so Android phones are a new field for me...
I have a friend who rooted his Samsung Galaxy Ace and then installed Android 2.3.4 but he decided to install something as he says that "doubles the ram memory of the device" well as soon as he installed this the phone immediatelly got bricked.
I have it here in my hands and I tried entering RECOVERY, DOWNLOAD mode and it was impossible.
So I tried pressing all the button (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power) and the device was USB recognized by my PC,installed its own drivers but nothing showed up on the screen. Then I pressed Home and Power and USB sound ran again and from there on the phone does not react to any combination of buttons, taking out the battery or anything and the PC does not see it anymore.
I tried to be as specific as possible cause I really want to help this guy... So If anyone knows what are the possible solutions besides "take it to samsung care center" I'd really appreciate it!
Thansk!
Install KIES from Samsung so you have the drivers for the phone.
Install ODIN and run on your pc so you can flash a stock ROM (you don't need to have KIES running at the same time)
Take the battery out of the phone and connect it to the pc with ODIN running via USB.
If ODIN detects the phone put the battery back in and now you can flash with a stock rom and your phone will now work.
There are instructions on this forum where to find ODIN and how to load a ROM into it ready to flash.
have u tried the USB Jig?

I'd save that for plan B, If it's showing up on a PC it's not bricked.
Bricked = no power, no response, no detect by pc no nothing.

But Can I download any ODIN? Because I've seen through the forum that there are several ODINs for different Samsung Models... besides there are several ODIN versions! So which one do I need to download? Please a little help here cause in the Android field I'm still a noob!
Also as I told you, the first time the PC recognized the phone when I pressed ALL the buttons... but afterwards it does not recognize it anymore... does it have to do anything with that KIES you are just telling me about? Also which KIES should I download?
Thansk!
To me it doesnt wounds like its "Totally Bricked", take the battery out and leave if there for awhile, come back later on and see if you can enter download mode.
If you want you drivers to be installed correctly, download the KIES (2.1 i guess?) and get ODIN to reflash it.

Ok... this is as far as I have come.... The guide for unbricking seems good, there is only one problem. I've already Loaded ODIN with the firmware files and boot, and all those files. But I can NOT, I repeat I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol-,Home, Power Buttons). I can only enter EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power Buttons) and the good news is that ODIN is ABLE to recognize it, BUT as soon as I hit star it stays stuck at "<1> setup connection..." Well before you start saying to search forum for solutions, well I did, and I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188378
The guy had this same problem and he realized his problem was that he was entering EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE rather than DOWNLOAD MODE. BUT I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE the phone just doesn't enter this mode, only the EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE so what can I do to make ODIN flash my phone!!????? Please help!!

Ok So I finally did it. Bought the USB Jig! From here:

And Guess What! IT DID NOT WORK!!!
This was my last resort and now I don't know what to do! But pay attention the funny thing, AS I mentioned earlier in ALL my posts! Is that the phone is recognized by ODIN but only in EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (It even says "COM PORT 18") But in this mode ODIN doesn't flash it, I needed DOWNLOAD MODE which was the reason why I bought the USB JIG, but it is not working! Is there a some kind of workaround to get the JIG working? PLEASE I REALLY REALLY need help!!!
Thanks!

NO ONE REPORTED THAT USB JIG WORKS SUCCESSFULLY ON ACE as far as i see
I have a standard unlocked UK SGS2.
It has been running ICS since its official Samsung update, and for the past week or so has been displaying a "firmware update available" message.
Today I tried to run the update via Kies. The update hung with the SGS2 displaying the "downloading - do not disconnect target" screen. Eventually, Kies displayed a message that the download had failed, and the phone should be disconnected and rebooted.
Rebooting the phone has given the "handset-exclamation mark - PC" screen.
I have so far tried:
a) following Kies instructions to the letter;
b) switching USB ports on the PC (running Win 7 pro 64);
c) trying the "hold volume up&down + on/off buttons; at second flash release power button", etc;
Nothing has worked and the phone appears bricked.
How can I resolve this. It must be a common problem, given the millions of these handsets out there. Unfortunately i am currently overseas and in the middle of a desert - so not able to go to a Samsung service centre to get help!
Download UK unbranded firmware from here <http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153177481/9861a3a/I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU.zip.html>. Extract using Winzip. You will get a Tar.md5 file.
Download Odin from here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=725858&d=1316556218>
Completely shutdown Kies via the Task Manager.
Completely Shut Down Phone. Now hold volume down+home+power buttons, You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode
Connect your phone to your pc via cable. Fire up Odin. The box below ID:COM will be yellow.
Click on PDA and select the .tar.md5 file extracted in first step.
Click Start. Let Finish. Do not disconnect wire until you see 'Pass'.
If phone bootloops, shut down phone. Now hold volume Up+Home+Power buttons. Do a Factory Reset. Restart.
Let know if this works.
Go to samsung and tell them what happened and they should fix it under warranty

If I helped you press thanks!
I knew the kies is not the proper way to update the latest firmware and always giving a problem! When the downloading firmware on kies are almost finish there is always an error such as " hang" or " internet disconnected " ! The smarter way is to use odin3 :good:
Its not a major issue, this isnt a brick, its a softbrick, big difference, just means ya flash failed, could be a million reasons for that,
AS DESCRIBED above, this is a simple fix by downloading and flashing the appropriate stock firmware for your phone via odin again in download mode.
your phone will go to download mode so dont worry about that, if it hasnt gone to dl mode when attempted, pull the battery, leave it out 10 mins, put it back in and try again, failing that a usb jig will suffice, see post on who and where will share their jig if you dont have one, there may be someone near you.
CAUTION, dont try flashing any of the latest leaks on your phone, just choose whatever the last stock release was by your carrier on samfirmware, and flash that as that will be your latest firmware.
I never use kies to update, simply use ota, or download the rom and flash it, kies is very unreliable, this is where HTC and SE beat samsung, the download and recovery methods are so much simpler and they work.
Please please please could anyone help!
About a month ago I upgraded to Ice cream sandwich (LP7) and then rooted my S2. All worked fine for 3 or 4 days and then suddenly it crashed for no reason. I suspect, but am not sure, that it did an automatic update. On rebooting it just stops at the Samsung S2 screen with a yellow triangle.
For the last few weeks i have been trying to find a fix, but am at my wits end now.
I have gone through the different solutions on your site but to no avail also where mine seems to be different is that I can get into boot mode and odin always says its successful. I have tried different pc and usb cable too just in case that was an issue
I can not get into Volume up mode, but i can get into boot mode with volume down. I have tried re loading a few different rom's and Odin says that the transfer was successful each time, however it is still stuck at the same place on reboot.
Tried reloading kernel and re partitioning, and again Odin said it went OK, but still stuck on start screen.
Tried using a jig and turned phone on, but it the phone just went to the start screen again.
If i could just get into reset mode, i could clear the memory, but this is not working either.
If anyone could help i would be very so grateful.
Thanks

Click on the CSC button and select the GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALQ5.tar.md5file. The file should show on the space beside the CSC button.
Don’t alter anything else in Odin. Leave everything else as is, except for adding the files mentioned in steps 7 to 9.
Click on the Start button in Odin to start flashing the firmware to your phone.
After the flashing completes, your phone will automatically reboot. You should be able to get a “PASS†message on the top left part of Odin.
NOTE: If you get a FAIL message or Odin gets stuck, disconnect your phone from the PC and close Odin. Remove the battery from your phone, re-insert it, and place your phone into Download Mode again. Open Odin and do the procedure starting from step 6.
Once you see the Samsung logo on your phone’s screen, you can safely disconnect your phone from the PC.
Hope this helps!

Try this I did and it worked to get mine booting after a bad update.
I messed around with it using several methods of getting it to boot into download mode until I finally got it to do it. I think I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file for your phone if available.
I found mine here (Find yous stock firmware for your phone)
CLICK HERE
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did it took time but I got all the files together over several days of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running, nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.
And if your so happy your phone is up show your appreciation by buying me a Pepsi
