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?
Hello all,
Ive got Kies and Odin3 v1.85 for my galaxy s2 and when i put my sgs2 into download mode, odin 3 does not find my phone. but when i turn the phone on and then open odin 3, it displays a com port???
Ive tried reinstalling kies several times with no luck!
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
thanks,
Alex
Weird! Try closing kies altogether. That includes exiting it from the system tray.
If that doesn't help, see if you have USB debugging on under settings / applications / development. If it's off turn it on.

Even though kies is not open, it is still running. It usually starts automatically when PC boots up.
Not sure what you use, but on windows xp in the bottom right corner where the time is, you can see what is running. Sometimes you need to expand it to see what else is running. Or even press ctrl+alt+del and in task manager kill kies process from there.
Might not help but worth a try.

ODIN3 Problem
Hi yall,
Noob here im sorry but I was wondering if you guys can help me out.
I am trying to root my SGS2 and/or update firmware to ICS using ODIN and various ROMS.
I have the Samsung drivers and unistalled KIES since iv read in some forums it can conflict with ODIN. ODIN does recognize my phone as a COM.
I am having a problem with the ODIN3 software both v1.85 and v1.83. For some reason that I cant figure out, when I try to load the PDA file, I find the file and add it but it will not show the file in the PDA box (its like it wont allow any file to be loaded)
I tried going ahead and flash the phone assuming the file loaded with the PDA tick box checked...and nothing (doing everything by the books here i.e. using USB debugging, connecting the phone only when in download mode etc.)
Appreciate the help.
Tnx

have you tried using task manager and stopping kies like other posters have suggested.
Yes I did try that, I have kies uninstalled but still have the samsung drivers and still no luck.
What else can I do?
you tried opening odin first then putting phone into dl mode maybe try different usb ports or redownloading drivers.
New to android and would appreciate some help.
My galaxy s2 powers on to 'software upgrade failed...' so I am trying to revert to stock rom.
So far I have:
installed kies and double checked drivers (killed all kies stuff from task manager)
downloaded the stock rom from here: [Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)
entered download mode on phone (hold volume up+down and plug in usb)
launch odin and put rom in pda slot.
Hit start and it stalls at NAND Write Start!!
tried with heimdall but I keep getting an error after uploading kernel. 'Error: failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence'
been trying tons for the past few hours and am finally getting frustrated. Thanks for any help
Info: att galaxy s2
Already tried: redownloading rom file, tried all my usb ports, tried another computer
Have you killed the Kies tray agent from Task Manager before using Odin?
Also make sure that your phone is in USB debugging mode.
yes, forgot to mention killed all kies stuff.
using heimdall command line I can get the process to start, it gets to 'uploading kernel', goes to 100% and then says 'error: failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence'
kinda feels like progress
what exactly is the rom you're flashing to get back to stock?
The kernel is 100% bone stock, the system image is stock except that it is pre-rooted (su binary and Superuser.apk)
I am including the modem in a separate package since that goes in a separate modem slot, and I don't want to reupload a 200+ MB file if I don't have to.
The kernel + rooted system package is here: http://www.multiupload.com/PNQC9KOD4D

Sorry I know nothing about the I777
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Just wanted to post that my problem is solved.
Summary: My AT&T Galaxy SII showed an error on boot (software upgrade failed. connect to kies...). Kies wouldn't even recognize the device so that route was a no go. So as everyone's recommended method of last resort, I decided to flash the device back to stock via odin. I entered download mode (volume up + volume down and plug in usb) and Odin would recognize the device, I would load the stock rom in the PDA slot and hit start and it would begin normally, but it would always fail after a few seconds on 'NAND write start', or 'factoryfs.img'. So I got a 1 click download solution using odin for reverting my phone back to stock. Same thing, it would recognize the phone, but stall out and fail. I also tried flashing clockworkmod via odin but and same problem. People recommended I try heimdall. It would recognize my device, and then fail after 'kernel 100%'.
I tried both programs on 3 different computers, and must have tried 12 different USB slots amongst all of them. I'm fairly handy with this stuff and I worked for hours on it.
xtra info: I had successfully used odin on my computer to flash a kernel just a week ago so I know my stock usb cable was working etc...
Resolution: So I hung my head and drove to the ATT store. After pressing a few buttons on the device and not getting anywhere they sent me to a nearby Device Support Center. I told the girl at the counter that my phone booted to this error screen and that connecting it to Kies did nothing. She asked if it was ok that in the case that she couldn't fix it she would offer me a replacement. I said that was fine and after 10 minutes in the back room she came out with a replacement (free of charge).
Well that was the good news. For the bad news, unfortunately I still don't know how to fix the problem I had, and don't really know how to avoid it in the future. I thought phone's could only get truly bricked if you messed with PIT files and such. There didn't seem to be anything more I could do than flash with odin or heimdall as those were already last resorts. I know I had the right files, the right drivers, and working usb. No matter how crazy I got with my iphone, a full restore was only a click away by plugging in to iTunes. Somehow I messed up my phone so bad that even the device support center couldn't fix it....? Shouldn't have had to be like that.
Thank yous: Thanks to ATT for having a walk-in store and for so easily offering up a replacement. Thanks to the many people on the web who offered remedies.
tl;dr - phone broke, att replaced, still a mystery
Bricked Phone?
This is a solution I found to work on my own GS4. The Verizon Update Utility seems to be able to restore a phone without any problems. However, if you are in a Soft-brick situation all of your data will most likely be erased (which is why we are told to backup so much). I looked all over the place for the Upgrade Assistant online since you can't access it from your phone if it's bricked, so I figured I could post it here and hopefully help someone out who has a bricked phone.
Instructions:
Install the Upgrade Assistant and SAMSUNG USB Drivers
Put your phone in Download mode
Connect to your computer (allow driver detect on Windows)
Open the Upgrade Assistant
Go to Repair Assistant
Press Start
Wait: the Process should take anywhere from 30-90 minutes (because it downloads the Stock 1.6ish gb rom)
In the Zip file you will find:
The Verizon Upgrade Assistant (PC/MAC)
Samsung USB Drivers
These files come directly from the stock ROM on the GS4
Hope it helps!
EDIT: The Mac Software installs great, however the Windows software doesn't seem to be working for me. So if you can get it to work thats awesome!
Please note: this is not my software and is only the software of it's respective owner. I do not claim for it to be mine, I am only posting a link so as it can be used to help.

yes i see what u meant, but all the link are not available/downloadable
that's why i had to ask u, i think this is my first time to ever ask something in any forum hehe, i've never been this stuck in my life xD
but sadly I've lost all my chakara xD
anyway it seems that even if i did find it i won't be able to install it, the reason why is like below
1- i remembered i had a note 3 verizon, i attached it, copied the vzw software assistance.exe and all files related
2- tried to install it from my local harddrive copy, nothing would lunch or pop-up
3- backed it up as *iso and mounted it, still got nothing lunching or popping up when i try to open the *exe
4- connected my note 3 and lunched it from the phone and it directly pop up an agreement message with "install" button,
one must be connected to the internet when installing
so after all it turns out without a verizon device connected and used to install it, one cant use the software unless it's already installed
so i thought i'd share this info for anyone who wants
anyway thank you for your time and help =D

The software might be too outdated, I can't get it to run. It keeps force closing on my mac. It won't even launch in windows, I found a report of a user that had removed the samsung signature on the file with launching success, but even that didn't work for me. Lol I'm just going to have to wait for the stock rom to download so I can Odin it
Same situation here - I am stuck with the phone telling me to run Verizon Software Repair Assistant. and that does not work on Windows 10. I was able to remove the digirtal signature. I have the task manager running and the app does appear to launch but gets closes right away. Stuck phone - please help....
Just an update for those who care. I had success with windows 10. I plugged in a working verizon phone to get the upgrade assistant which has the repair assistant in it. It installed without a hitch. It wouldn't recognise my phone until I manually put it in download mode. Took about 7 mins to repair with fiber internet.
Sorry folk, can't install software.
Any help?

Thanks for the info and initial file OP. Unfortunately, the zip is out of date and does not install on any version of Windows I have tried.
I have tried Windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit, as well as windows XP 32 bit. The assistant did not open in any of these versions of windows.
I found a working file...
Direct download link (as of 11/3/2016) for the repair assistant from Samsung's website:

I was directed to the above download link from this Verizon web page. You can find any needed instructions on using the tool there.

My Verizon SCH-1605 Note 2 rebooted and would not boot past the Verizon logo screen!
I have tried to "reload" the Stock Latest Firmware from Samsung, version 4.4.2 VRUFND7 with no luck....
I'm using Odin ver. 3.09. It fails at the beginning sboot.bin FAIL!
I can not get the phone in Recovery Mode, only in the Download mode!
When I try to get it in the Recovery mode it says Samsung Galaxy Note II and loads the logo screen but never completes the boot. I have to pull the battery.
I have been searching all day for a solution. I'm sure someone on this site can help me...
Thanks
Cliff

Hi Cliff,
You probably found Droidstyle's Restore guide already, but if not, check it out here: ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181 ). It doesn't have restore instructions for 4.4.2, but the general instructions in section 1b will be the same. Try flashing the pit file at the same time as the firmware file if you're not doing that already.
You may also want to try a different version of ODIN if 3.09 isn't working... I've been using version 3.10 most recently with my Windows 7 64bit system and it has worked great.
Here's a Download link for ODIN 3.10.0. **With the newer ODIN versions, they have replaced the "PDA" slot with "AP"--so the .tar firmware file goes into AP in the newer ODIN. **(For reference--Here's the XDA Thread where XDA recognized contributor -CALIBAN666- posted the newer ODIN 3.10 version. Hit the thanks button for him and Droidstyle ****
Also...here's a link to the Verizon stock 4.4.2 firmware if you need it, but I bet you got your file from there already.
---------------
If ODIN doesn't work for you, you might consider trying the Verizon repair utility or Samsung Kies 3 Emergency Firmware Recovery.
Good luck!!
I can not connect to Kies . Drivers are good...can connect to Odin!
Thanks,
When I plug it in a USB port I don't always hear the beep to load the driver but I see the battery charge status symbol, but it always will go in to download mode and Odin see the Comm port.
I tried Odin 3.10 but with out the pit file...it said: sboot.bin
NAND write start!!
Fail!
I can not connect to kies either!

If ODIN is recognizing the phone, then I would try it with the pit file. Disable all Antivirus programs too and run ODIN as administrator. Also make sure kies is not running in the background. Other common fixes for ODIN problems are to try different usb cables and different usb ports (use a usb 2.0 port, not 3.0)...and the one closest to the computer's power supply seems to be recommended from what I've read. Hopefully you'll get it to go through successfully if you keep trying.
2 Days Now. I have tried every which way.... no good

I'm screwed untill someone comes out with a way to root 4.4.2
This is the second time the phone crashed on me
I was able to use Odin to fix the last time loading 4.4.2
Now the modem is disabled so I cant fix trough Kies either. Cant get in to Recovery Mod either....Only Odin and there has been no Roms that have worked...I'm stuck??????????????????
Any other Ideas?

(Edited for clarification)...
I apologize, but I'm not sure that I totally understand what you're saying. Did you get the phone restored to 4.4.2 with Odin and it crashed after you restored it? And now it won't boot into recovery (with volume up+home+power buttons all held at same time)... to let you complete a factory reset and wipe cache to see if that helps?
If you still need to restore it, then the best way to restore would be to reinstall the Verizon factory stock 4.4.2 ND7 firmware back onto your phone using Odin. Use the link I gave you above to get the stock firmware from Sammobile if you don't have it already. Use Droidstyle's guide to restore the phone (including the pit file when you install it in ODIN).
I'm not sure what you mean by your modem being disabled...it sounds like you're saying that Odin recognizes the phone, so are you meaning that you no longer have data and wifi....or your computer won't recognize the phone when you connect it and try to boot up into the ROM? If Odin still recognizes the phone in Odin mode, then you should be able to restore it back to 4.4.2.
You won't be able to use Odin to flash any custom ROM'S if that's what you were trying to do because your bootloader is locked. However, there is a root method for 4.4.2 called Ghettoroot, but it doesn't unlock the bootloader...just gives root access. If you can get the phone restored, you could research more about Ghettoroot later.
Hi
I have the Verizon version SCH-1605 NOTE 2 Phone
A few months ago I had a problem with the phone so I re-installed the firmware with stock 4.4.2 from the Samsung site. I think i was coming from 4.3 but not sure. I did this manually through Odin
I have first tried to reinstall 4.4.2 but fails through Odin.... it failed at sboot.bin. I have tried all other firmware and suggestions with no luck. I just tried the oldest firmware listed on the Samsung site 4.12 and it stops at NAND write.
I have to use Odin because the modem is disabled...
I cant plug the phone in the USB and get the phone drive showing....no beep when plugged into USB!
But I can put the Phone in the Download mode. I can't put it in recovery mode! I have to use Odin....PERIOD!
How the F do I reload the firmware???????????????
P.S Just found out what may be the problem over all. When in the Dowload mode it uses the Modem. When I go to Device Manager to check the status it says working but if id a querry it say says the Modem failed to respond!
Make Sure it is properly connected and turned on. if it is an internal modem of is
connected, verify that the interrupt for port is properly set.)
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
