Hello folks,
I know I can find the solution to this problem somewhere in this forum but be ensured I have searched through here and google for the past 2 days and nothing was helpful...
I know I am a noob and I called my mommy and told her she was right when she called me special... in the end I hope anyone out here feels sorry for me and helps me out
Galaxy N7000 -
recently followed the steps and installed Imilka ICS tablet version on my phone prob was I dont have clockrecoverymod or anything similar installed now... I discovered that my stupid alarm is not working and besides getting up late for work nothing else seems to operate the way I want it too which is why I decited to install a different Rom...
And thats where the problem is...
USB cant find a supportive driver for my phone...
Kies wont connect to it
Odin is telling me to screw myself
and I am writing this in shame... "shakes head"
I managed to put the files I will ned for the other rom onto my phone with airdroid but how the heck can I either
1. fix the USB issue
or
2. Install the other Rom without using Odin via PC ..

i have posted many posts on the forums and have emailed you for help but you never seem to reply sir ,and you seem to be the only person who can actually help me if you can pls sir as i cannot get my wallaby working like i said ,,all i get is when i plug in the usb sync lead on my pc in device manager i get HTC USB SYNC ,,what ever flashing software i use it wont work it says please connect via active sync but i cant as i have no rom on pda also i have no bootloader to flash via sd card ,,and fix bootloader tool wont work either as it wont connect with pda or communicate
i no the device can be recovered because its still working just needs the software rom and bootloader back so if you can show me how to flash my pda back to life i would be very grateful ,i have checked continously on the entire forum for my problem and i coudnt find nothing related to it
I agree
Tends to be a common problem and I've been coming to the site for months looking for help and have yet to find it. Any help would be appreicated.
Hello pdaman.
Sorry, that you didn´t get an answer from me, but do not know any other solution than mentioned here in the forum. I think the device is stuck, because you don´t have access to the bootloader to flash a new ROM via SD, and you can´t repair your bootloader, because the device do not came up , so that you get an connection via ActiveSync.
I personaly do not know any other solution to reflash the device....
Stefan
maybe this for the bold and brave
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyJTAG
i dont get it ,,,,if the device shows HTC usb sync in device manager and the device is working fine just needs bootloader and rom back how can you say i,m stuck ,,,i spoke to many pda engineers all quoting me around 30pounds sterling to fix it so it is possible to do so oh welll it seems 1000's of people using this forum hasnt come across htc usb sync before? when i check on google htc usb sync i see that the treo handset uses similar features theres even special rom flash software that communicates with my pda right now but again there for treo and i contacted the software developers but no reply
i am trying my best to find a cure for this ,,,i,m so glad my blueangel device isnt as crude as the wallaby as i destroyed the bootloader many times on my blueangel and recovered it in seconds but the wallaby is so delicate
i will keep everyone posted if i find a way of flashing a wallaby device while theres no bootloader and os on it and it shows HTC usb sync in device manager and if theres anyone out there reading this please please share it with us as i,m sure i am not the only one who has this problem
know that ur frustrated but if the Stefan said that he honestly dont know the solution than why blame him bcoz "device is stuck", he helped to a tons of people about software problems with wallaby and Im sure that he would help you too if he know the solution
I apologize in advanced.
A friend handed me her vibrant and asked me to flash it so she could have the wi-fi hot spot ability.
I rooted it, then foolishly put one of the ROM's and now the phone is soft bricked... meaning I can get into recovery mode with the volume keys and power, but that's it.
I've tried to install a different rom from the external sdcard through recovery and it failed. (That is the only way I can get access a new update.zip file on the phone)
Can someone tell me exactly what to do to get a froyo rom on this phone working? I'd really really appreciate it.
P.S. I am on a mac, so I'm really looking for a solution that requires installing something from the external sd card. Is that even possible?

Well you can go back to stock with Odin and try again...but since you're on a Mac....i think the Odin alternate is called Heimdall or something
EDIT: Found it....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834195
I'm sure it works just like Odin.....get the files needed to go back to stock here

this is good loool when can we expect to see i bricked my moms friend friends moms her sons phone
I'm glad someone is getting a kick out of this. I just downloaded Heimdall. I need to reboot and see if this can fix the problem. More to come...
I have to download something called qt which is a gig. Sucking internet from my epic at work... not going to happen today.
Note to self: NO MORE FLASHING FOR FRIENDS.

Thats weird... I dont even think Odin is more then 1MB, find it hard to believe that the Mac's alternate is so big. If you can find any windows machine it would be very easy to direct you on how to get her phone back up and running.
QT, which seems to be an environment like Java, is nearly a gig, and is necessary to run Heimdall on my mac.
The instructions for Odin says...
1. Open Odin3_v1.0
2. Load .512 into the PIT placeholder
(In this case s1_odin_20100512)
3. Load *FILE.tar* into PDA placeholder
(In this case Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5)
4. Make sure COM port has a number in it
This means your phone is connected, if your phone is not connected make sure you have the correct drivers)
5. Press Start!

Using the image I've attached of Heimdall, which PDA/Code should I load the .md5 file under?
Thank you Odin, thank you Samsung USB drivers (which I had to google to find) and thank you mom's PC. I got my friend's phone working, unfortunately all her contacts were on the phone and not synced to google, and I didn't back her up. Whoops. Why would T-mobile transfer numbers from a black berry to an Android phone and not have it sync with google?
Heimdall was a waste of time and memory. I'm sure the developers worked very hard on it, but it totally didn't work for my mac book pro complicating a tense situation.
Problem solved.
hi there, i've searched and searched and cannot for the life of me find any stock roms or anything for the telus fascinate it probably doesn't help that I don't know what the build number is... I flashed a verizon vibrant rom quite a while ago and don't remember my methods of doing so, I've read that it's going to be a huge PITA to get it back to stock, especially because I can't seem to get it into ^&%^*% recovery mode or even get it to connect to my pc.. so any help in that regard will also be MUCH appreciated
THANK YOU in advance.. I hope!
Alright so i managed to find an all in one zip file in a tutorial post obvs i didn't look hard enough lol!
So that just leaves me with the more important predicament. I can't get my phone into recovery mode to flash with odin and my pc won't connect to the pc at all.. I read somewhere that my phone is soft-bricked???? Because of using a vibrant Rom? Any input is greatly appreciated once again
P.s can a mod change the title? Or can i? Because its slightly irrelevant to the post now

Can you link the All in One ODIN you are talking about?
I sure can here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923712
coincidentally this is also the exact procedure i followed when I rooted and flashed.
so a little more information for you.
sorry about the reply taking forever i couldn't find the post on my phone and haven't had much time to sit on the computer

Says your phone model is GT i9000 so you probably flashed a gti9000 rom (Bell Vibrant / international Galaxy S).
Anyway... you need to be in "download mode" to flash via odin. I think you meant phone to pc, but were you able to connect your phone to the pc before? Do you have the correct drivers installed?
You know you're in soft-bricked if when you turn on the phone, you get a picture of a phone to pc with a ! in between. This can be fixed by a USB jig, or for some, just doing the download mode button combination while your battery is out and your usb is plugged into the computer.
What rom did you install exactly?
Yes i realise that i suppose that's what i meant but odin doesn't pick up my phone and my pc won't either. I used to be able to connect yes but now it won't I have the drivers downloaded i havent had the chance to try a different cord but this is the same cord i used to flash, so im pretty sure that's not the problem.
I guess its not soft bricked then i haven't seen anything like what you have described,
The Rom im using is called EXTRAordinary Rom or something like that ill try and find a link for you

Bump? This is a serious issue for me as my Bluetooth is not working and things are constantly force-closing...

If you have gotten your phone into download mode and your pc isn't recognizing it, you should; 1 - try a different pc, 2 - try a different cable or 3 - try both. Are you still able to get it into download mode?
Ughh I've tried every computer in my house, 3 laptops and one desktop...
My personal laptop is the only one it worked on previously, it now doesn't work, and I only have the original cable i did the flashing with originally, but i'll yoink a cable from work tomorrow do test that out, although I am seriously doubting it would work... my widgets have recently stopped working as well, they say "problem loading widget" I'm pretty scared by this point and feel as though my phone is sloooowly hardening into a useless brick. i'll update tomorrow, when I get a new cable.
um also, I've posted this question in a different thread but have yet to be answered, why can't I find the telus usb drivers anywhere? they don't have it on samsung's website,,, i haven't installed any drivers since the original flashing and have no clue as to where to find them... as far as I could remember it was ridiculously easy to find them last time....
Thanks in advance,
Antoine
try installing samsung kies-worked for me once
Hi im new with galaxy s 5.0 . And today i tried to root it with odin and i made a mistake and now my galaxy s 5.0 wont boot. What should i do now ?
Please help me ! Thanks !
Use "samfirmware" to flash your device with the stock firmware.
I cant even turn on my phone or go to download mode or recovery. Its totally dead. And there is just when i connect galaxy to pc it says installing some driver ! and at the end it wont install . i need to send my galaxy to samsung to fix it or there is solution i can make on my own ? please help !
Does it show anything on your screen at all when you hold down the power button?
Any icons at all?
Perhaps a picture of a Cellphone and a desktop PC with an X in the middle of it?
Also post your exact model number of your device. It should be located underneath your battery.
Thanks for help !
No i dont have any icons. And now i saw i must UnBrick it. So i installed ubuntu on my pc and i UnBricked my Galaxy s 5.0 and now it is in download mode. But Galaxy 5.0 must stay connected all time to stay in download mode. And i saw i must do something with Heimdall and i really dont know how to use it. I dont know how to use .deb file on ubuntu.
So i think i just need to flash it with Heimdall because there is no Odin for linux. But nobody wants to help me.
i have Galaxy s 5.0 YP-G70CB
I believe that hemidall is also made for windows. I have never used hemidall though. Only Odin. I think the next step is to find the correct firmware for your device. I see lots of YP-G70 firmwares, but I noticed your model is YP-G70CB. I don't know what the CB stands for I'm afraid.
Also with your model number, is that the full model number shown behind the battery? Is there something like YP-G70CB/XEH or something after the forward slash. Or does it just say YP-G70CB and thats it? I am trying to see if I can find the right firmware for you, if it exists.
Behind the battery are just that numbers. U can find me a firmware but i cant install it. Beacuse my Galaxy 5.0 now is in download mode and im on linux and i must run Heimdall to flash it with a some frimware. But i am having troubles to installing Heimdall Frontend. So i just can watch my galaxy and do nothing
If you can get the Player into download mode now it should work with Odin.
In fact, at the moment Heimdall won't work (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511624)
You just need the right firmware files and then you should be able to flash it with Odin.
I'm guessing you have the international version and not the USA version of the device, if so you probably want to download one of the firmwares in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444636
Yeah i have the Galaxy in the download mode but how u dont understand. I UnBricked my Galaxy on Ubuntu (linux) and now i must to flash it but i cant do it with Odin because Odin is not for linux. But i have Ubuntu and Win 7 on my pc. I restarted my pc and i went to Win 7 and i was opening Odin but odin didnt recognize my galaxy and dont know why but it was in download mode. And if i disconnect usb cable download mode turns off and i cant turn it on again because i must use program from Ubuntu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434.
I have problem with this -------> S5PC110. And its black screen on my galaxy always... So i can only turn it on with UnBrick program from Ubuntu and then. I thnik there are 2 or 3 more steps that i cant do !
Im trying this whole day and nothing..
relax man,i had the same problem as you do and i fixed it and now my device is working just fine.there is a guide in XDA forum (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360)
just do what the guide said and everything is gonna be alright.
for any questions you can ask me because i got myself into hard brick too.
but just for you to know it might take you couple of days.
it took me 6 days to understand and to succeed to run programs on linux (with people that know linux well).
but i will try to help you as much as i could
Thanks man.
I will try this tomorrow i cant do it anymore. I am trying this all day. But thanks very much for this. I think this gonna work ! Just tell me something i think that first step isnt that hard but how 6 days?? lol i cant imagine 6 days without galaxy i think i will do that all day tomorrow. Just to make it work !
