Hi! I have used these forums in the past while playing with my Samsung Galaxy Fascinate(T959D).
My issue is that no matter what cord I use to try and get a rom or recovery onto my phone right now Odin either "hangs" or it "fails" and Heimdall can't find the phone at all even after using the driver program that it comes with.

I have a "jig" that forces the phone into download mode so getting into download mode is no issue. A couple times when I have tried to use Odin on the phone it has come up with something like "Failed to re-partition"....
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to get this phone going for my sister who has 4 kids. (Her last Android her youngest got mad at her and threw it in the toilet)
Thank YOu Ragn

What is it that you are trying to do exactly? Do you have the correct samsung drivers? Are you pulling the battery out as well? Normally the phone part of Odin is not used, it's like a no no, but I guess it depends on what you are trying to do.

I am putting firmware and everything back on the phone. The system, boot, data, datadata etc I guess all got formatted. Yes I am pulling out the battery.

Hi all,
I hope somebody will reply immediately. I wanted to upgrade my Gf's phone to a new firmware update.
The upgrade process got stuck at 22% while downloading and the power went off.... KIES said that i should run emergency recovery....
Now when i turn on the phone i get a sign of a mobile phone connected to a PC with an exclamation mark.
What can i do ? my questions are the following..
1 is there a way to unbrick and how?
2 i had backed up all the contacts and information ? are they saved because i do not want my gf to lose all her photos and information?
Guys help.. nobody can save me from the woman's wrath.
Remove battery for a minute. Put battery back in. Put device in download mode. Use Odin to flash firmware.
Use search function to find out how to do anything you don't understand above.
here is the pic i get
a mobile phone a triangle/exclamation point and a PC!

Did you bother to read and do anything from the post above?
i did... it cannot get into download mode..
What did you do when you try to get into download mode?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
OK i got into download mode and through KIES i am now in EMERGENCY RECOVERY...
the problem that it is stuck at 16% for over 5 minutes now. is that normal?
shall i use KIES or ODIN to flash the normal firmware?
also where i can find my gfs data that i backed up in my PC?
Look at the settings in Kies where you backed up the data to.
Is the blue bar on the phone moving? I don't use Kies to flash my device because I don't trust it.
Ok, it seems as if you want to do things your way so good luck with Kies.
Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?
Hey everybody, so I bought myself a messed up vibrant hoping I could fix it. Originally it acted like this:
Plug it in to charge: shows the stock loading bar, then loading bar with battery, repeat.
Turn it on: shows the at&t world phone screen, (I think they tried to flash captivate files to it) (yes I am sure it is a vibrant, I have had 3 now)
Wouldn't even go into download mode, definitely not recovery.
I bought a USB download mode jig, and that worked wonders on it and got it to download mode!
My micro USB port on my phone is junk, but I finally got odin to recognize it, but it failed after saying setup connection forever.

Any ideas? Is JTAG the only option I have at this point, if so anyone know who'll do it for less than $50?
If it helps I have a linux computer.
Maybe the unbrickableMOD? I suck at soldering and I don't really know anyone who is good, but I might be able to make that work as a last resort.
Now it has changed its mind once again, I put the USB jig in and it went to the soft bricked screen with the cell phone...!...computer
It can't be a problem with the cable or the computer because I have tried several ports and I have used same computer with odin many times.
It has changed its mind once again, now we're back to download mode.
I have finally gotten it back in download mode, now trying to get odin to see it again and not have the computer just say usb device not recognized . Any ideas for this?
Progress! Now it will say but i still cannot get odin to recognize it again, any ideas? I have and am trying multiple versions of odin just to make sure.
Now we're back to .
Still no ideas? If I can get odin to recognize it again I think I have a special odin to fix it.
Eh, maybe I'll scrap it for parts.
Try and get odin to recognise it and flash i9000 pit file. It should flash successfully. Then try flashing the firmware, make sure you include the pit file.
Kindly hit the THANKS button if i helped.
I AM A POTAYTOE!!! :banghead:
Sounds to me like your usb port is bad. www.mobiletechvideos.com will replace it for you or you can just order the part if you know how to solder but you must be really good at soldering or you will ruin it. They also offer jtag I believe but I don't feel like you need that. Mobile tech is a very trusted source FYI, so purchase with confidence if you go that route.

but, when I enter in Odin mode, the screen is ok
So, I assumed there is no hardware issue in this mobile.... so, i thought it could be just a ROM error or something alike.... so, I downloaded KIES and Odin ((3.07, 3.09 and 3.10)).... I started on Odin.... I tried to flash the stock ROM on it, but I went to the error missing PIT partition.... after I read what is a PIT partition, I downloaded only the PIT file and tried to flash it alone and together with the MD5 ROM file..... So, NO.... nothing worked....
So, I went into the KIES and tried to used the all 3 options on Tools Menu .... the first one, doesn't work ((or I don't know what to do...))... the second one works.... asks for the serial number and start the progress bar and everything. But, when it reaches 70% just stops and says there is an error
.. and the third one doesn't help... at all....
So guys this is it what I already done so far in here and this is what I know what it could be done.... any thoughts or ideas to help me here?
I'm using a windows 8.1 x64....
Thanks very much for any help and assistance here =D
I'm reading something about MSKIP Toolkit and Heimdal.... any of these works in my case?
I'm reading this thread too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 - but my phone does not reboot.... so, i'm stuck on step 3....
and in here - https://www.androidpit.de/forum/545386/there-is-no-pit-partition-and-re-partition-operation-failed - these guys are facing the same issue as mine....
So, no further ideas to do.... any in your side?
Cheers =D
any thoughts or ideas guys??
any ideas at all guys?
Hello,
I was running on a stock non-rooted ROM, when the phone did not suddenly did not boot any more. Instead I am getting a "White Screen with some black lines" not even the Samsung Logo screen. I tried to acess the recovery mode, but this seems not possible. I can only access the download mode.
When I tried to flash a new stock firmware through odin, I got the error message: "There is no PIT Partition". Same happen when I tried to flash the firmware with three/four-parts.
I look through multiple threads and tried to apply the methods given in
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
2) http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/i9300-stock-rom-26-11-13-i9300xxugmk6-4-3-dbt-pre-rooted-3-teilig.517665/
but non work so far, and I am always gettein either "Re-Partition operation failed", or sometime ODIN just stuck on "SetupConnection" and never go further.
Since this is a 2+ years old device, Service Center is not an option for me.
Can anyone suggest me a method to solve this error. Maybe provide me with new "PIT Partition" file, etc...
Thanks in advance.
same error with my International i9300 16gig, i have access to the download mod only
any solution plz?
i cant flash stock rom, even when i try to flash a PIT file, odin will stay in this line "get PIT for mapping.."
and this is when i power it on:
