I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) with the Shostock 3 ROM using the instructions from GalaxyS2Root (which I have since learned was not wise, but hey...you live and learn.)
Last night I plugged it in to a new charger, and when I woke up the phone was frozen on the Galaxy S2 Splash screen (the one with the yellow exclamation mark and the model number). I've tried several things to get it back, but nothing seems to work. I have tried:
•Getting back to stock using the I777UCKH7-CL503881-No-BL download from the "getting back to stock" thread at XDA but it hangs on the "cache.img" step, and now my phone shows the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." screen. I tried this several times with Kies installed, on, off, uninstalled and drivers only, and nothing made it past that step.
•Installing the latest firmware from sammobile.com via Odin 3.07. It gets to the "factoryfs.img" step and then gives me " Complete(Write) operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)" despite re-installing drivers, switching ports, and doing it without the battery in. Also now the box with the phone's ID is blue, not yellow, despite further driver re-installs.
•Installing the Siyah Kernel, also via Odin, where the same error message occurs after "NAND WRITE START."
I have spent the better part of my day working on this, and I am completely out of ideas. As of right now, when the battery is in the phone it automatically starts itself up to the "Phone > ! > computer" firmware error screen recommending I go KIES, which does not recognize the phone (And, I have been turning off during ODIN runs and is currently uninstalled because I downloaded the S2 drivers directly).
I've been told that as long as I can get into download mode (which I still can, though I can't get to recovery) there is still some hope, so if anyone has any ideas I would be extremely grateful.
First, the reason for failed odin flash can be one of many things, such as bad usb port (on computer or on phone), or bad usb cable. Try other ports, other cables, even another pc. Also, Odin 3.07 may be a problem. Odin3 v1.85 is known to work with the I-777. I've had one person switch from v3 to v1.85 to get a flash to go through. And sometimes when there is a problem with odin flashes failing, multiple tries will eventually result in a pass.
The following is for recovering from nand read/write corruption on the I777. This may or may not be your problem, but it's worth a try.
1)Go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
2) Successful? Nice. Next, flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done.
If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.

Flashing the SBL Bootlaoder from Odin 1.85 works and allows me to see the Galaxy S2 logo screen again instead of the Firmware error.
After that though, flashing the Siyah 2.6.14 kernel hangs up at the "STARTING NAND WRITE" step and stays there until I unhook it, which takes me back to the firmware error and requires me to flash the SBL again.
I only have one USB cable, but I typically use it for file transfer and it worked with the SBL flash, but that may be the culprit.
Also, when I hold the volume buttons and restart, it goes straight into downloading mode and does not allow me to choose to factory wipe the phone. I feel like if I could get that menu back, it could possibly solve the problem.
Thanks for the help so far, I'm glad I can at least get back here. If I don't have the original USB cable, how can I get another one and be sure it will be sufficient for the job?

Update so far:
I cleaned the USB port, which did turn out to be full of lint and other crud. I still can't get it to flash anything but the bootloader.
However, the phone will do nothing at all when the battery is in, and only works when plugged into the computer with no battery inside. I had been getting battery temperature errors, so I think it being kind old, a cheap USB cable, and the port being dirty for who knows how long probably fried that battery. I'm gonna get a new battery and a new cable and see if that helps me out.

Hey everyone-
I'm trying to ODIN my vibrant back to stock from eugene373's froyo rom, the one with latest one (r3 i think) with the supposedly working clockwork mod (it didn't for me :-/). Anyway, I'm able to get the phone into download mode ONLY by pushing power on and holding volume -, I've already tried turning it off and plugging in the cable and it doesn't work for some reason, but whenever it enters download mode ODIN doesn't seem to pick it up. Oddly enough, ODIN will pick up my vibrant as COM6 when it's powered on, but that's only time I can get it to work. And my vibrant IS NOT hardware locked. Thanks for any help in advance.

yeah I tried that to, didn't work. I used the very first JFD firmware from the backup firmware thread and the .512 pit file as well and that was it, and for some reason ODIN still wouldn't pick up my vibrant. fyi, i was actually able to get it to flash to an odin copy of JI8 a couple hours ago, but now I keep getting a bunch of FC's and ODIN yet again isn't sensing the vibrant in download mode.

Sorry to break it to you but its most likely an issue with your computer. Try going to the local library and use one of theirs.
Try getting into download mode first than starting up Odin. If that doesn't work try it in reverse.
Just my .02, but I noticed that if I have Kies open, Odin wont see my Vibrant... Dont know if that is the cause of your problem or that you even have Kies at all.
I'm going to go with make sure you have the correct drivers installed.
If you don't have the drivers
Hit up this thread for the drivers.

I have also had success with this method. Closing odin and reopening before I re plug is what I have done and have had no issues. Vista Ultimate 64.
I need help. My vibrant is soft bricked. I can access 2e recovery but cannot get into CWM at all. I dont even have the update.zip in my internal. I can get into download mode but odin will not recognize my device. (believe me when I tell you Ive tried it all on multiple computers using different cables, usb slots, etc.). I actually fell asleep at my desk last night trying it all. My question is, can I somehow access the internal storage of my vibrant through my pc possibly ? In order to place the cwm update.zip in the root folder then enabling me to "reinstall packages" through 2e recovery ?
Any help is much appreciated. This is killing me.

I gotta get my phone on a charger, so will have to wait and search for the post in a little while, but another person had this issue, and had luck with a windows software that was like an android file explorer or something. Was able to save all his pictures and files. Surely you could also use it to transfer update.zip back to the internal sd.
I will look for that post and get back to you.
Update: this is the thread I was referring to. Hope this helps. I haven't used it, but if it can copy files from the internal, theres the chance it will copy files TO the internal... Good luck!

REPARTITIONING ISSUE WITH HEIMDALL 1.3.0
Heimdall currently has an issue with repartitioning. 99% of the time you will not need to repartition. Failure to follow these directions can possibly lead to bricking:
Do not flash bootloaders if you see this message:
Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!
This message means your partition tables do not match the firmware.
You will need to use Linux to repartition with this firmware package. Install Ubuntu. In Linux, you can copy-pasta this into the terminal to correct the repartitioning problem and then flash bootloaders. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17485056&postcount=23

I know this topic is old, but I am essentially having the same problem, I don't think it was really solved for the first guy, he can't flash the original rom using odin, because odin doesn't recognize his phone. And that is my issue too, I'm able to get into download mode/odin mode whatever, I plug in the usb cable, nothing, odin doesn't recognize it, I don't get a little sound like I do when I usually plug in a usb cable.

Try different versions of Odin (for example, if you're using V4, try V3 1.3 & V3 1.85 and vice versa), try different USB ports (particularly if you're using a port attached to a hub. You need to use a powered port), different USB cables & finally different PC's/different versions of Windoze if you need to.
Also, when you fire up Odin, check Task Manager in Windoze & make absolutely certain Kies or any processes associated with it (if you're not sure what these are, Google/search for them) are not running at the same time. As I've said, you need the drivers that come with Kies to use Odin, but Odin won't work if Kies or anything associated with it is running at the same time.
Try uninstalling Kies on your PC (you need the drivers that come with Kies for Odin to work), rebooting, reinstalling Kies (search for it), rebooting.
If none of that works try cleaning the USB socket of the phone a Q-tip (cotton bud) & some isopropyl alcohol. And if that doesn't work, it might be a case of the USB circuitry of the phone being shot (unless you haven't tried the above steps or are not following the right steps, which we'll never know because we're not there with you).
Was also having the same problem. I managed to get round it by flashing an I9100 package with all the files (PDA, PHONE, BOOT, CSC, PIT) and ticking re-partition. If I'm right, this completely wipes the phone and flashes this over, basically leaving you on a fresh slate.
Hope I helped!

Using PIT files is not recommended more brick a phone by flashing PIT than rescue it .

Hi Guys,
i flashed a kernel with "BOOTLOADER" button in Odin. Odin stopped at "sending zImage", of course it did not work. I did not reboot since then, phone is still in download mode and is recognized by Odin. I tried to reflash a correct bootloader, but Odin stops at "SetupConnection..". I tried all USB ports, different computers and even heimdall within linux. Heimdall fails at "Initializing protocol". Do you have any ideas what i can try until i plug the battery? I bet its hard bricked after then...Any help is appreciated...
I think it will be ok, but what you can do
Remove the cable, restart the Odin, plug in cable and if it recognizes, than you can flash a complete Rom to be safe.
But wait for few more posts..

1) Try a new micro usb cable.
2) Verify the MD5 of the bootloader which you downloaded.
3) Try a different ODIN.
4) Remove the External SD Card if any.
Report back with the results.
Hi,
thank you for your replies. I borrowed the original usb cable which was in the samsung box from a friend. Still no luck. That was my last chance, i already tried different Odin versions but forgot to mention. I pulled the battery and crossed my fingers for about 5 minutes Restarted and the bootloader was okay!! Somehow Odin did not destroy it while flashing the kernel...I will never ever touch this tool again, this was a very hard day for me :laugh: Thanks again for your replies!

EDIT: So I guess you have to plug the phone into the computer to get into download mode, but it should work so long as Odin is already running. Your picture seems to indicate that Odin is indeed recognizing your phone and attempting to write to it, so that's good.
You should tell us what you're trying to do, what packages you downloaded, what happened to your phone beforehand, what guides you're following, etc. More information will help us figure out what you're having problems with. Then maybe someone smarter than I can help you figure out what's happening.

plug in your phone to the computer (while its on) and hold down power, volume up and down buttons. when the thing pops up, let go of all the buttons and hit volume up, that should bring you into download mode.
OR
turn ur phone off, while plugging in your powered-off phone to the computer, hold the volume up and down button.
I edited my post again. Tell us what you're trying to do, someone else will hopefully help you out, because I'm pretty stumped at this point.

I'm trying to go to stock rom, like firmware that came out-of-the-box but everytime i try to use ODIN it doesnt let me, ive tried mutiple ways such as disabling debugging, trying to use different .tar files, different versions of odin, different ways of going into odin (starting odin first, plugging phone in/out of odin) restarting my phone several times, pulling out sim/sd card, making sure kies isnt running in the background, etc. none of these ways work for me. everytime i go, ODIN gets stuck on SetupConnection.. or it goes after SetupConnection but then fails at Complete(Write) operation failed. i have also tried using a one click thing where i just plug in the phone, and then i hit start and it should go (Picture attatched) but that doesnt seem to work either. ive been doing this the ENTIRE day and its starting to frustrate me because there is no way to go back to stock firmware in case i have to give in my phone for repair or something.
I didn't say this earlier because its obvious. But u do have the proper drivers already installed for the phone I assume....

yea i already have the right drivers installed, i checked in device manager before i started
This could be due to a number of possible issues: The computer you are using, USB port, USB cable, usb driver, user error. Those are the main things to look at.
In Windows 7 "Uninstall or change a program" dialog (or Add Remove Programs in earlier versions) you should see SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. If you suspect it is a driver issue, uninstall this item, reboot and reinstall, then reboot again.
However, first I would suspect a bad cable or a bad port. Just changing ports, or changing to a good cable (the one that came with the phone is usually the best choice) could solve the problem. Or using a different computer.
Just to make sure it's not user error, here is a set of checkpoints:
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing. Success!

This could be due to a number of possible issues: The computer you are using, USB port, USB cable, usb driver, user error. Those are the main things to look at.
In Windows 7 "Uninstall or change a program" dialog (or Add Remove Programs in earlier versions) you should see SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. If you suspect it is a driver issue, uninstall this item, reboot and reinstall, then reboot again.
However, first I would suspect a bad cable or a bad port. Just changing ports, or changing to a good cable (the one that came with the phone is usually the best choice) could solve the problem. Or using a different computer.
Just to make sure it's not user error, here is a set of checkpoints:

Hey guys, was running C10 and wanted to test a few others to compare battery life. I checked the dev forum and wanted to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854.
Downloaded, rebooted, cleaned and flashed with the dorimanx kernel and most default options. On reboot, things came up nice, but I had 0 bars, and when it said turning on wifi, it found nothing nor can I get past that since there is no keyboard (reading about that now!)
But, rebooting into recovery, thought I would restore a nand, when I select restore I get Can't mount /sdcard!
If I goto mounts, mount /sdcard I get
Error mounting /sdcard!
I have the original CM10 local but when I try to flash that, it crashes with a bunch of getprop errors, so now pretty much stuck.
Any help is appreciated.
Scrub that. Sounds like recovery is broken. Best thing would be back to stock via Odin then re-root (flash Odin version of Siyah or similar) then maybe trying restoring your backup again.

When I plugged mine in and tried, the one tried failed, so figured I would look and get another, and on reboot the phone and have the following error;
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I didn't have it installed, but I am guessing something broke when ODIN tried to update. The problem I have now is when I reboot and go into download mode, I plugin the USB and ODIN never lights now!
I have the normal download screen;
Porduct name: GT-i9100
Custom Binary Download: YES (1 counts)
Current Binary: Samsung official
So that does look right, but now even more frustrated! My wife has a samsung and uses KIES, I did plug it in there and no USB confirmation beep, as well as its not listed in the emergency firmware recovery.
Thanks and still looking!
OK. So when you hook the phone up to the PC via USB & get Odin going, you don't get the yellow ID:COM box ?
In that case, try as many of the following as you need to:-
*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 another copy from Samsung's website & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it won't work first try on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
