Hi,
I'm having problems with Odin 1.85 crashing all the time when i press start, i disabled Kies, still crashes, i'm running windows 7 Home premium on a brand new laptop, phones only a month old. i cant find similar problems around the threads here, is this just happening to me, or does anyone else have this issue? i'm pulling my hair out
Error message, or just instant crash?
Presume you've disabled the Kies system tray app?
What are you trying to flash?
i get a windows error msg saying "Odin has stopped working and needs to shutdown" the second i hit the start button, yes ive disabled kies also, XWKI8
Download a new version .
jje
Can only suggest uninstalling Odin and trying another version.. I'm also on 1.85, but used 1.3 for nearly a year without problems.
i tried that too, just downloaded Odin 1.3 and i still get the same error msg
One Odin or PC are the problem .
Two its the file and or the way you are using Odin that is the problem .
As it happens when you press start and you have replaced Odin my initial guess is its the file or how you put it in Odin .
method is open Odin put file to correct location
boot phone to download mode
connect SAMSUNG usb cable only .
jje
I'm using original samsung usb cable, i put the insecure kernel TAR file into PDA slot in odin, im doing everything by the book, ive watched countless versions on YT, and it still crashes, must try it on another laptop,Q. will i have to download Kies to the other laptop? or can i download drivers from another source?
never had a similar issue and ive been flashing for a long time now
try with odin 1.3, are you running it as admin?
also make sure you dont have kies running in the background
must just be me, or else ive got a dodgy insecure kernel or something, ive tried 1.3 too, must be some conflict somewhere, kies isnt running either

Try this stop all running tasks via task manger which you do not need running while your flash your fone. If you dont know which files or apps to stop well disable any firewalls, antivirus, any other device using USB ports. As a rule!
Now run odin as administrator and follow outline help on how to flash your file/files..
PS: ARE You sure its odin and not your PC?

Have you checked your antivirus/firewall settings to see if that is blocking it?
Also You do have Odin folder on the C drive, not in program files? Open the Odin folder and you should see the app. Right click on odin and go to program/properties/compatibility. Is any of the boxes got a tick mark on them? (should only be in privilege Level if any)
yeah i tried what you said, still no joy, must be my PC, i just bought it last week though.I dont get it! could it be a problem with my tar file?

i used an lg cable too, same result. installed kies on my sisters laptop for the drivers, started odin, and got the same result, i think its a problem with the phone or else my insecure kernel tar file, its not a windows 7 or XP issue, cause ive tried it on both with the exact same outcome, could it be carrier blocked or locked or a dodgy app in my phone causing this? its seriously taking up too much of my time, but im no quitter.im gonna root this phone one way or the other
Download another file and try. if samething more likely its your fone...
Ok, please, anyone, help me!
I've rooted my phone, using a zerg method ive seen on galaxys2root.com, at first everything worked brilliantly, customs roms and all, but the phone usb drivers are gone.
no pc or mac ive tried can detect my phone, i cant move any files (unless i do it over wi-fi), i cant select usb debug mode, it say cable is connected even when there is no cable connected, ive tried many methods to connect the phone but none work.
so now i cant use odin to flash anything since my phone is always being detected as an unknown device.
im desperate, i dont know what to do.
so please anyone help me out there ... i guess all i can offer for help is a 10$ steam game to whoever finds a solutiin
im not quite sure whats wrong with your usb but you can try mobile odin to flash.
The are 2 things that I Would try, try this first:
Download the CWM version of "Siyah kernel" (v3 is best)
Here is a link
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/10/siyahkernel-v3-2-1/
Flash it in to CWM recovery (if you need instructions on how to flash in to CWM let me know) (to enter cwm recovery do the following:
Turn phone off
Press the home+ volume up+ power button, and do not release your fingers off the buttons till you see the sgs2 boot logo)
If your phone still doesn't work properly after the above, do the following:
Find a CWM flasherble rom (any will do as you are only flashing it so as to be able to use Odin for what ever rom it is you want to install, although you can also find a nice rom that is cwm flasherble, pure ics v7. 3 is very nice!) and download it from your phone
Make titanium backup of all your apps
Go in to CWM recovery and select "install zip from sd card"
Click "yes"
And hopefully when that has finished it should have fixed the issue you are having, and then you can install the rom you were on originally or a rom that you like.
Hope this helped
Cheers

Probable not following instruction like
Question in wrong forum
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Well, thanks for the reply guys but still not working, its driving me nuts, no pc can pick up my phone, its only being seen as unknown device, ODIN cant see my phone when its in download mode.
i installed that room, ICS resurrection remix, the problem managed to find its away to that also.
EDIT: Sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google).
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
Try all of these steps if necessary.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if the different PC doesn't work first try, go thru all the above steps on the different PC if necessary.
And if you still don't have any joy, probably user error somewhere along the line or a hardware issue.
I'm sure its a user error, cause the phone realizes that usb is connected when i connect. but no other device can recognize the phone (i tried 2 windows pc's and one os x machine).
I'm not an expert but is it possible that the phone information got deleted?

Yes if Kies is not installed no USB drivers .
Also clean USB port on the phone .
Getting a lot of i used that xxx site and rooted or flashed now broke help asked from here without knowing what the original site asked you to do or firmware used .It becomes hard to guess what's wrong .

Did you o a factory reset, and full wipe before you installed the rom?

Ok, Kies is installed with drivers, everything was working fine, then i used a Zerg method i found on galaxys2root.com to root the phone, after that it all went to hell.
Well, for the heck of it, i install MIUI, and usb mount is still not working, this is driving me nuts!
Did you make sure you did a full wipe of the phone before you installed the rom?.
And have you tried flashing siyah v3.2?
Flash the kernel and tell me how you get on.

i made a full swipe, well ill flash siyah with miui now, just a sec mate, and really, thanks for replying everyone.
fishingfon, i installed Siyah, rebooted the phone, the pc picked it up and opened the autoplay, then it declared it as unkown device and back to square one.
everytime i reboot the phone, the pc sees it for a few secs now then unknown device... i THINK that we're on to something o.o
Have you tried using another usb cable? As if it is broken that would explain the problems you are having. Abd have you tried it of a different pc?
And if you have an external sd card in the phone, try removing it And then rebooting.

And make sure you "uncheck" the "usb debugging" in developer options,I dont know why but I have often not been able to connect my phone to the pc if the above is kept checked.

Same thing, could be an appilcation conflict on the phone ? when i reboot the window show and then goes, maybe the phone is a loading an app which screws up with the USB?
Have you tried the above?.
Have you tried enabling usb mass storage?.
I dint think it would be an app, as they are apps that people use all the time.
Did you make sure you used the currect root method for your model?
Did you make sure your phone was either a I9100 or and I9100T model before before tou rooted. If it was the wring model rhat might explain your problems, what model is your phone?
If none of the above works the only thing I can think of is that the phones hardware is broken.

If you remove the backplate off the phone, and remove the battery, rhe should be a label with the model on it

You could try downloading Mobile Odin Pro from Google Play. Then go to Samfirmware.com and download your original firmware that came with the phone,( NOT A CUSTOM ROM). Put the firmware on the root directory of your sd card. Run Mobile Odin and install the firmware.

Hi friends..
I bought SGSIII yesterday and started to exploring it's options since then.. As it's my first Android I am using some time to getting use to it..
Now here comes my two problems.
1. I am using a wifi router at my house and at first try I was able to connect to it easily.., but since then I am not able to connect again to the same connection. It finds it, tried to connect but then shows saved and then start searching again and couldn't connect it again. I tried factory settings once and the result is still same, can't connect to my wifi again.
2. I tried to root it with both Chainfire tool as well as with SGSIII kit provided here. Both options use ODIN and it's the main problem here.
Once I set my device in Download mode, ODIN doesn't recognize it thus doesn't show anything as detected device and thus I can't go ahead and flash the rooted image thus .tar file .. I am on Windows 8, I tried Windows 7 too but the result is same..
Can anyone suggest me what should I do next.
Thanks..

1) I can't seem to get what the issue with Wifi is but someone might be able to help you out.
2) Seems like you dont have the proper drivers for the device installed. The easiest way to solve this is to download KIES and install it. This will help you get all the necessary drivers and hopefully after that, ODIN should be able to detect the phone. Thats pretty much what I did.

For problem 1.
Call *#0011#
Choose wifi
Turn Power saving mode off.
This is a known problem with some s3's. Including mine. Best to flash cm9 and follow steps above. Its not an exact solution. But is far better than what I was experiencing!

Hmm.., so it seems that this Wifi problem is pretty known one and most of the users facing this.. Well that's not good.. It's still not working even after disabling wifi power saving option.. Will try to restart my router to see if that will help.
@circuit89
My phone connects pretty easily with my PC when it's ON., problem starts when I put it under Download mode and then try to connect it to ODIN..
Any more suggestions.. Thanks for your replies though.
Restarted my router and wifi seems to be working fine again.. Well I hope it will keep working else I would know that why this is happening. Thanks for your suggestions.. Now I am just more concerned about ODIN problem coz I need to root my device and that's much needed issue.. Thanks.

Yup, installing KIES should help .When you connect the phone, usually the drivers required for mass storage are automatically installed. Different drivers are needed to get the PC to recognize the phone when it is download mode.
I guess they are ADB related drivers and I saw a prompt for that while drivers were installing but still to be sure I am installing it to see if that would help. Thanks, will notify the result here soon..
Nope, didn't help.. Installed Samsung Kies latest version too but still the same result..

It seems to be a unique problem, then. I saw this thread and tried uninstalling all my samsung drivers. I let Kies run in the background and connected my phone in download mode when Odin was running. All drivers got successfully reinstalled. Check whether Samsung USB Drivers are installed when you install Kies. Sometimes, it skips those due to errors. I've encountered that once or so.

@slking1989
It's not..
I will try to remove all drivers .. then install KIES and then put my phone under download mode to see whether it will install all drivers then.. Will update later how it goes.
Ok.. Installed Windows 7 on my PC just to be sure that Windows 8 is not the culprit.., turned out it is not.. It's not working on Windows 7 too..
One thing to specify here is that when phone is on and if I connect it to my PC, ODIN recognize it and ID part turns to blue but not when I put it under Download mode.. so anymore suggestions friends as this is a nightmare to use it without root..
First, get the driver pack from the forum.
Go to the device manager on the computer when the phone is in Download mode and search it (should have a yellow triangle). Then right-click, Update driver.
Let it search on your computer, it should find and activate it within a few seconds

nicesoni_ash, good to see you're here from dailymobile!
This might sound daft but have you tried another cable?
I was getting problems using the cable that came with my phone, which had an HTC sticker on it for some reason.
Switched to the old cable from my N8 and it worked!
Just a heads up.....note that before flashing with Odin ensure kies is closed in sys tray or it may interrupt flashing process

On my system, I could never get the Kies icon to show up in the system tray, however it is running in the background. He might need to kill the Kies processes from Task Manager.
I've run a search through this forum and cant seem to find the answers I'm looking for. I am not new to flashing or rooting (except for this device) so this is very perplexing. I've tried to use odin to flash a custom rom, but it doesn't connect in download mode, however when the player is rebooted and on my home screen it connects to odin and says ready blah blah blah... Is this normal? My phones need to be in download mode to connect and flash, so what is going on here? USB debugging is active, I even allowed non marketplace apps in hopes that might do it, no go. Also can't seem to get Super One Click to recognize the device either.

Oh well, it should work. I don't know why it don't work though as I'm not on windows I can't really tell.
1) Restart computer and try again
2) Use a different USB port
3) Go into your Task Manager (alt,ctrl,delete) and disable anything in the process tab that mentions kies in it's title
4) Try another usb cord
I know I am not the only person asking for help with this.... But as far as I've read I am the only person unable to fix it... I have download drivers, Kies, Odin, The Stock File. I have tried every method to recover my device without success. Why is Odin not locating my device when in Downloading mode even when all of the drivers are installed? I have attempted to fix this now on two computers.... I am loosing my mind. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

USB debugging needs to be turned on for Odin to see phone.
"Software Not Supported By Verizon"
Normally appears when you first boot phone
When
You do not have phone unlocked while installing custom software.

I think you may be mistaken here. Download mode is seperate from the ROM if this was the case then many people would be screwed if they forgot to have debug on. Because at this point he can't get into the system to turn it in.
OP we need more info of what happening. Does your phone download drivers? Any errors? Does it beep or anything to say is hooked up.
Try this first. Make sure you're using the original cord, make sure you're plugged in at the back of computer not front, un install drivers and start over. Make sure you reboot after you reinstall the drivers. I've personally always let Windows find the drivers automatically and never had a problem.
