Hello and thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
Here is my problem. I was trying to flash back to stock using Odin3 and have tried many times. However it progresses to FACTORYFS and stops any progress. And it sits and sits and sits. No progress. Why??? Please. If anyone can give me any advice please do. Thanks.
Forst you need to have your phone in download mode.... if your havin trouble with the process download AIO VIBRANT TOLLBOX.. its really helpful and also you need to have the appropiate files and if it keeps doing that.... download odin again....

Are you running windows 7?
If so, reboot your computer, hit F7 to get into the safe mode options, then disable device driver enforcement.
Sounds wierd but it fixes my odin from locking up everytime.
Hi,
Can you link to the firmware you downloaded? I've seen this a few times and it was a faulty TAR package. If you are looking for a good reliable 2.1 JFD package I have on one of my download pages:

I had this same problem several weeks ago. I used the same files Ive always used to odin. Just keep trying it. It took me over 3 hours before it finally went thru. Ive been scared to use odin every since/
check the md5
try another usb port
using the latest odin?
any other usb devices plugged in? If so, remove them, reboot, try again.
using the usb that came with your phone?
Man, you guys are awesome. I'm always amazed and impressed at everyones willingness to help others in need even if their(my)problems are self inflicted. Thank you.
We just had a baby and are at the doctors office at the moment but as soon as we are done I will get back to it and see what can be done.
Again thanks a million.

Dude... CONGRATULATIONS!!
Best thing that ever happened to me.
Congrats! Kids ROCK!!!
Don't be afraid to PM these guys, there are people more than willing to help you out here at XDA. Saved my behind more than once. Just have patience, as they say - "help is on the way"
Ok first thanks for the words of encouragement with the baby. She is beautiful.
Now back to work. First things first. When it freezes at FACTORY FS what is the safest way to disconnect? Battery pull?(seems scary) x out?(also scary).
I have disabled the driver enforcement but still have the same problem. Thanks though.

Alright so far I have
1. Disabled devices driver enforcement
2. Tried all 3 of my usb ports
3. Currently using Odin3v1.00 (about to search for a newer version)
4. Removed all connected usb devices
5. Rebooted twice
Results = same. Bummer
I have not checked the md5. Not really sure how to and what/where to check. I know its something that I should know by know but never have needed to till now I guess.
MD5 - use Hashtab
http://implbits.com/HashTab.aspx
That IS an old version of odin, that is known to hang... my signature for going back to stock has files, inc newer ODIN.
I suggest getting a new pit and tar from there too.
Going back to stock in my signature
I'm still curious as to whether you tried my 2.1 JFD tar package. This will eliminate the thought of a corrupt PDA TAR package. Can you please try it? I replied on page 1. In the past your issue was caused by a corrupt/incomplete TAR package.

I am glad you got it all square man. No need to donate, but when you flash trigger or cm7 you should hook them up. Donate links are above the avatar of the developers.
Did you check the md5? Willing to bet mine and his have the same, assuming one was not corrupt.
Now go stare wildly.... At your new kid!
Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate it!

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
im trying to create titanium backup and now when i try to run tibackup it says that it doesnt have root access anymore, but i ran it fine just yesterday. it said check for superuser and busybox - i had both of those, but for some reason my superuser app was gone so i downloaded it again but to no avail. then i tried re-rooting it with superoneclick and it gets stuck on step 7...and in the superoneclick msgbox it says that my sgp isnt rooted. did i do something wrong?

thanks, it worked . i also have another question hopefully you can answer it. i just flashed entropys kernal but when i try to get into the cwm, it takes me to the 3e one. my understanding is that entropys kernal has the cwm in it doesnt it? i flashed it using odin and passed. thanks :good:
ok i just found out it didn't get flashed..im still running stock kernal even tho odin said passed.
this is what i did, i downloaded dd_03052012.zip from entropy. unzipped it in winrar. then when i tried adding the tar to pda section of odin, it wasn't there (but if i were to open its folder thru win explorer then i would see it) just odin wasn't recognizing it. so i renamed the zimage file with .tar at the end, now odin sees it so i go ahead and add it into pda field and push start (player was in download mode) odin said reset....then after a couple secs it said passed! and then it reboot itself...still stock kernal. please help, I've literally been working on this for twelve hours with a break to go grocery shopping thanks in advance.

Unroot first
Use superoneclick to unroot first THEN root again. Hopefully that works. If not, you're screwed if you want to ref lash. Sorry.

I have a Sony. So I don't use Odin.
But.have you unlocked your bootloader.
If yes then I think kernel should be flashed through fast boot.

Can Odin be used more than once? I am getting a message with yellow triangle and can only boot phone into Odin. I cannot seem to find a working valid MD5 file either to restore stock.the one posted here seems invalid when checked by Odin.I was going to reflash beans106 build 1 since that seems to be my only option.i wonder how verizon would like me showing up with a phone to reflash.
Anyone I am stuck

I am screwed at this point now anyway not being able to even load current beanstown verson 1 in phone anyway.
Guess a totally bricked phone is all that is left to do then they can have a real good laugh.

you have a serious problem on your end...either your computers have viruses or your not telling the whole story. the files work fine i have used them all. i would try installing a fresh copy of windows on your pc.
alternative option: send me your device and 20.00 and i will unlock it and put whatever rom you want on it, then send it back.

Use SirVilhelm's post for the Odin flashable and make sure you are using the Odin exe from Adam's bootloader unlock thread. Or flash Revision 3 instead of the full stock image. I borked my phone slightly and this worked.
Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all
EDIT: Imnuts file does not need to be unzipped. Use as is.

your getting corrupt downloads because of something on your end...That's the part your failing to understand... you keep saying "oh well that don't work for me"....ok but there must be a reason. All those files and methods that have been provided work for everyone else including myself. Take a step back make sure your doing everything correctly and make sure your pc is clean and no viruses...again its something on your end.

I have been working with the above poster on this issue for a couple days. He has supposedly tried all these files you posted and they don't work for him. there is something going on from his side of the coin...
Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB

So call me a super noob but I cant for the life of me unroot my dang Note 2. Ive read forums and threads on how and I dont know what my deal is. I dont know how to get odin on my laptop. I search and search to download it but cant find a way to download it. Im on a different pc than the one I rooted it to begin with because the old pc is stupid slow. I dont have supersu on my phone right now cuz I was screwing around with my phone and a friend of mine said I could unroot the phone by going into the supersu app. So I dont have su binaries. I dont even know if im rooted anymore. Im on scotts ROM the 4.1.2 version. I do have CWM recovery still tho. All I want to know is a step by step process on how to get odin onto my pc, and go from there on. And yes I have read forums about how to unroot but none say anything about how to install odin. I feel really dumb but I really need my phone unrooted ASAP. I have a new phone and tranferred the SIM card over to it....do I need to have the SIM card in my Note 2 in order to unroot it??? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help a bro out

I search and search to download it but cant find a way to download it. Im on a different pc than the one I rooted it to begin with because the old pc is stupid slow. I dont have supersu on my phone right now cuz I was screwing around with my phone and a friend of mine said I could unroot the phone by going into the supersu app. So I dont have su binaries. I dont even know if im rooted anymore. Im on scotts ROM the 4.1.2 version. I do have CWM recovery still tho. All I want to know is a step by step process on how to get odin onto my pc, and go from there on. And yes I have read forums about how to unroot but none say anything about how to install odin. I feel really dumb but I really need my phone unrooted ASAP. I have a new phone and tranferred the SIM card over to it....do I need to have the SIM card in my Note 2 in order to unroot it??? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help a bro out

Download Odin (it's just a simple windows program). - http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...3&d=1304094576
Make sure you have the latest samsung drivers - http://www.mediafire.com/?hzlnda0l5t8qyes
To use odin later all you do is power down the phone and boot back into download mode (volume down, power and home at the same time).
Open Odin, plug in phone...Odin should recognize the phone and you will see the com port noted in yellow.
From here you can follow these instructions to flash back to bone stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

Did this already. Confused me a bit. I'm trying to sell it and since 4.3 ROMS aren't "stable" in a way. I can't flash one and get reboots if I'm gonna try and sell it

The download is compressed so you need to extract it (unzip). I am not familar with Zip opener but it probably works like the others (7-zip, etc). Just right click on the file and choose extract. Then you should see a normal application you can open.

Ya I'm figuring it out. I'm downloading the file from imnuts right now. After it's downloaded do I just drag the stock file into the PIT spot and then hit start?

Section 1b gives you the steps...you need a pit file and one in the pda slot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

I don't see a pit file anywhere. Also I don't see a pda section on Odin anywhere

I'm on Odin 3.09. And there isn't a pda spot. So what spot do I place the firmware at then?

I have never used 3.09, only 1.85 (the link I provided above). Looking at screenshots of 3.09, the fields look the same but are named differently, but since I have never personally used that version I can't guarantee it.

It took me a minute to figure out also, but they are in the same order but with different names.
