I am new here so I dont know if this is the right section. I have a galaxy note i717 that was originally for at&t but it is unlocked. I tried to install clockworkmod using odin 1.85 with a tutorial I found online. Now when I turn it on it says Firmware upgrade encountered a issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I tried going into download mode by pressing the volume down and power button and then pressing volume up at the screen but I just get the same message. When I turn it on I feel a little vibration though so I dont think it is hard bricked but I dont know too much about this so please help. What I did is this.
enabled usb debugging and then rebooted the phone into download mode
connected it to odin 1.85 and selected pda, opened cwm-i717.tar.md5 and disabled auto restart and the other thing that was important to disable
clicked start, it said complete so I unplugged it and took out the battery and rebooted
and then I got this screen
after I did some research I downloaded a official tar.md5 for it that was like 700mb or somthing and tried to flash that
i couldn't go into download mode but i just connected it at the error screen, it showed up in odin and I said start, again making sure the right things were disabled, it said it flashed it fine and it passed. When I rebooted I got the exact same message as before.
please help, I have tried everything I could think of and I have been searching the internet for several hours and still havn't found anything. This is my first ever post on any forum so I'm sorry if it is in the wrong place. Thanks

Hey guys!
I'm new to Android and how it all works.
here I have a Galaxy S I9000 on T-Mobile with 2.1
I wanted to upgrade to 2.2 and from what I've read on the forums I did the following:
downloaded Odin and .pit files (used odin 1.7, and pit file ending in 512)
then used for PDA file I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar
plugged my phone in, went into download mode and started installing the 2.2 I guess.. and now is COMPLETELY DEAD!! won't turn on at all and I'm really frustrated. I removed the battery and the sd card and tried to boot it up few times ... but NOTHING!!!
please help!!!

Well I can tell you you should only ODIN when something messes up, and you're in the completely wrong thread. Us Galaxy S Vibrant owner usually don't know too much of GT I9000 phones But go back to the thread where you got the odin files and post there, or at least post in your phone's correct section.
But anyways, can you still get into download mode?
this is where I was told to come actually. I have a Galaxy S (Vibrant) on T-Mobile, I alerady posted on the I9000 thread but not answer at all.
I can't get to the download mode at all, my phone has a hardware lock on the recovery menu...so I'm stuck

I think bobbb thought you have an international galaxy s, because you said you have an i9000.
So you have a Vibrant Correct?
It appears you used the wrong tar file. You used the one meant for the international galaxy s, not the one meant for vibrant.
You said you can't get into download mode at all because your phone is hardware locked. Then how did you get into download mode in the first place to use odin the first time you messed up?
Try the following. Download the correct 512 pit, and the correct JFD tar for your Vibrant.
1) open odin
2) place pit in pit
3) place tar in pda
4) take battery, sim and sd card out from phone
5) put battery back in, leave the rest out
6) hold down volume down/up (don't touch power)
7) while holding down both volume buttons, plug in the USB cord, with the other end connected to your computer
If that didn't work, try the following, which has worked for me.
1) open odin
2)place pit in pit
3) tar in pda
4) take battery, sim and sd out.
5) HOLD DOWN VOLUME UP/DOWN AND NEVER LET GO (DON'T TOUCH POWER)
6) WHILE STILL HOLDING THAT DOWN, PUT ONLY THE BATTERY BACK IN
7) WHILE STILL HOLDING DOWN VOLUME UP/DOWN, NOW PLUG IN THE USB CABLE INTO YOUR PHONE
Once in download mode, you can let go of the volume keys.
Hopefully that gets you back into download mode and you can just flash back to stock JFD.
If you still can't get into download mode, you might want to see if a USB JIG will work.
I'm just confused how you got into download mode the first time if your phone is hardware locked, did you use ADB?
Anyway, try the method above, hopefully that gets you back into download.
-Ps... you want to be in download mode, not recovery.
Do what Samsung said but if I'm correct in what you said? you are using Odin 1.7? get the newest version which is v3 i believe... could have been a problem with that version.. correct me if I'm wrong Samsung... but always screwed up my phone with the older version....
Merry Christmas everyone!
anyways...none of the methods ever worked.
The believe that the download mode worked before I screwed up the bootloader.
I read somewhere that on the T-Mobile Vibrant if you go into download mode for first time and your update fails, you can't do anything
I guess I will be without a phone for X-Mas and the next day, because I work

Ya if you messed up your bootloader you might be out of luck, but honestly I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure if you did or did not mess up your bootloader by trying to install the wrong tar file.
Odin has given me a fail before, and I got the phone to computer icon and I was able to get into download mode, I guess my bootloader was still fine.
I have a feeling you can still save your phone, keep asking, don't give up.
the latest odin is odin3 v1.70. I think.
Hi All,
I have just recently bought a Korean SG II (M250S). On trying to root (actually trying to flash an insecure Kernel) the phone using ODIN (tried 1.85 as well as 1.83) I am running into a problem where if I connect my phone while its turned on then it is recognized by ODIN (Com port is displayed and all) but if I put my mobile is downloading mode then ODIN doesnt recognise it. I have tried everything and have read through the forums here on XDA as well but havent been able to find a solution to this problem. Help would be appreciated.
And before anyone asks, I have also tried killing Kies Tray Agent before running ODIN but still havent had any luck. Since the phone gets recognized by ODIN while its turned on (and also detected by Kies when its on) I am guessing its not a drivers issue but something else.
In the downloading mode it doesnt really say Downloading, rather some other characters (I am guessing Korean) are displayed. Is that normal for Korean SG II's ?
How to use ODIN.
Open Odin select file to flash.
Boot download mode .
At first screen press Vol up to proceed .
Connect usb cable
Flash via Odin start tab
jje
Thanks Buddy, the Vol up button did the trick.
I actually had a Galaxy S before this and in that I didnt have to press the Vol Up after going into Downloading Mode hence the confusion .
I was worried for a while that I was stuck with something that I could not root ...thanks a million.
Guide: How to fix a bricked SGSII from failed flash, no recovery & no usb recogntion
Now Fixed. - Thanks: Below is the guide to how I broke and fixed it with a little help from my XDA Friends. Maybe the MODS could sticky it as a unbrick guide to go alongside the rest?
So I was flashing a ROM through Odin as per the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
The flash failed and when I restarted my phone I was left with the following:
1)No Access to Recovery Mode through Vol Up + Home + Power
2)Access to Download Mode through Vol Dwn + Home + Power
3)PC would recognise a device was connected on any USB port but kies or Odin Could not detect the phone
4)when phone started or attempted to be put into rec mode just a splash screen saying firmware upgrade failed and a picture of a phone and pc with a yellow warning triangle.
The Cure:
1)Uninistal and Re-Install Kies and Samsung Mobile Device Driver
2)Pureley by accident left my phone connected on flash screen of death through the process and on loading ODIN it connected perfectly right away
3)Set PDA to ROM and flashed.
4)Reflashed as per normal routine again due to boot loop this time in download mode.
5)Factory Reset via Recovery Mode to force CSC update to match ROM
6)*When it arrives use USB jig to re-set flash counter to 0*
Step 2 is not advised as goes against what all the instructions say, please try download mode before this method I don't know if it was just luck I didn't further mess up the phone, but to be honest bar screwing my IMEI it couldn't get much worse! And as I said I found it by accident and it worked. Don't know if anyone has an explanation. From the message on the screen and what I read on Kies ref the emergency recovery I think this is a kind of emergency download mode for when stuff goes wrong as it hints kies can fix it from this screen.
I tried to flash the 02 2.3.5 file from the carrier branded thread, followed all instructions. File was a .tar.md5 i left as is as per instructions.
the flash failed when the phone powers up i get upgrade failed, I can get to download mode but odin doesn't recognise the phone as being connected ive tried multiple usb ports
kies also wont recognise it
i cant access recovery mode
is there any way back?
ive read most of the other posts but don't seem to be getting anywhere other than fustrated!
In kies there's an option to install drivers, try that first and see if it'll find the phone again.
kies
no joy that root, the pc knows its there as every port i plug into it wants to install drivers for device and does so
Remove Samsung Kies from phone and reinstall it and try again .
jje
Cheers will report back, what i don't get is why i cant get to recovery mode would make things easier! Can a jig do this? If i try i just get the failed update screen
I also get same. Screeb when plugged into charger does thos mean its not even charging?

Its stuck in the warranty repair centre, I dont expect it to be fixed, so will try this soon when it comes back !
Lol i spent ages reading multiple posts about bricked phones nothing seemed to be working do asked, someone suggested the kies reinstall, then by accident i deviated slightly from instructions in terms of not disconnecting phone and leaving it on brick screen and it happened to work
Alot of people flame for posters asking previous questions but these guys were really helpful to me.
Ask and xda will provide

On that screen, the phone is effectively in Download Mode already.
Just connect Odin and flash away, did it on my phone a lot of times already (I sometimes forcefully enable this screen manually - don't ask why - and always flashed directely from there.)
Thanks for that i didnt realise till after I'd flashed that this was still download mode, i was still in flappy panic "dude i bust my phone " mode. Still trying to find out why windows ****s up the drivers when the flash bins out

Why don't people use mobile Odin?

Hey everybody. I bought a fascinate from CL, which was soft-bricked, thinking I could fix it. Guy told me it froze updating to 2.3. It had been stock the whole time. Phone would not boot at all, no display, only four bottom buttons would light up on touch. No dl mode, recovery, or anything.
Odin somehow would still recognize the phone (comm port turns yellow) but fails during flashing of modem. I tried all stock .tar packages with atlas pit too. I tried to flash superclean with no modem, Odin said success, but phone did not do anything.
Now, I moved on to Heimdall to flash. I successfully flashed stock 2.2. When reboot command was sent, I heard the verizon startup sound, but still nothing on display. I waited a little until the phone vibrated when touchwiz force closed. Then, I locked/unlocked screen with power button and the display came back! Yay, I thought until I saw no internal storage, cannot install app, blah, blah.
Now, every time I turn off the phone, it returns to bricked state. Odin still fails, only Heimdall one click unbrick can successfully restart the phone, but again the display is off until it finishes loading and i can lock/unlock the screen.
Sooo, am I just stuck with no internal storage and cannot ever turn it off or does anyone have another suggestion? Thanks for hanging in there and reading all of this too.
So it seems that the phone powers on into dl mode, maybe? The screen is blank but Odin will see it when I plug it in the computer. This is no key combos or usb, just power button.
It also connects right back to Odin if the flash says success. The phone will reboot (I guess, no display), then Odin beeps and com port added again.
Sorry for double post, just thought that was weird.

follow the steps in section 5 of my guide in general section.
I was using your guide from the beginning. I tried both the Froyo and Gingerbread but Odin fails at the modem.bin every time.
Tried all usb ports, reinstalled drivers, rebooted computer...
The heimdall one click is the only thing that kind of works. Are there any other heimdall packages to try?
Hello there,
I was trying to flash Rj's Custom Kernel to my Glaaxy Player 5 which I had just rooted using SuperOneClick.
I went into download mode (Power+Volume-down+Back button) on my phone, opened up Odin and selected the tar file I downloaded as a PDA, Only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were checked, nothing else was changed.
Clicked Start and the process appeared to go Successfully in Odin, when the phone was reset the Samsung Logo appeared for longer than usual, and my computer (which was still connected via USB) complained that the USB device was not recognised, then eventually the phone rebooted to the Samsung Logo and the process repeats itself ad infinitum.
The only thing I can do is get the phone back into Download Mode, and flash another rom, but I don't know what to try, can anyone please help me get my phone back to working order?
Cheers,
Blaiz0r.

Does your player have a mechanical home button because if it has a home button that is a light capacative and also if its capacitive you need entropeys kernel search on google
