Hey guys,
So I posted on here awhile back ago with a problem of a boot loop on my SGH-i777 and I never got around to repairing it till now, I went down to Best Buy and got a new phone maybe 2-3 days after I got the boot loop.
I ran into the "Deleting Cryption Meta Data" problem and was told to follow this thread. But I'm having a hard time understanding it, so I went around searching a bit more and found someone with the same problem (here's that thread).
I read that he was having a hard time understanding what's supposed to be done, so I thought someone would explain it to him a bit more.

Refer back to this post again, and...
For 1. follow the instructions in step 2a) of this guide, except use this file: I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click Downloader (See Download Repository, link in sig) which contains the bootloaders and param.lfs.

So I go to that post, start to follow the instructions thinking I'm finally gonna get this thing to work. Well, no..
I downloaded the latest version of Odin, I downloaded the "I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.exe", then like the thread said. I unzipped, ran the .exe and put my SGH-i777 into download mode. But when it's in download mode, supposedly in Odin "the small edit box in the upper left corner will turn yellow, and say something like [0:COM8]"
and mine doesn't do anything.. my computer recognizes something is plugged in, so it plays the noise. But nothing else happens.
Am I supposed to put something in the "Bootloader", "PDA", "PHONE" or the "CSC" box's? I don't really need this phone, but I still don't want to brick it and ruin it. I'm starting Application Development in school this year, so I was hoping to use my S2 for tests and what not, instead of my S3.

First, the file you were directed to download is a "one-click downloader."
I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click Downloader: I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.7z (Contains I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.exe.)
This means that the executable file contains both Odin, and the firmware package compiled into one. You therefore do not need a stand alone Odin package to use this. The One-click downloader interface does not have the slots, "Bootloader", "PDA", "PHONE" or the "CSC" where you can insert files. Maybe that will clear up some confusion.
Secondly, the way you describe your problem, it sounds like you do not have the correct USB driver installed on your computer. Please go to the Windows dialog for "Add Remove Programs" or in Windows 7 "Uninstall a program." Look for SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones. If that is not present, then you must install the driver. You could get it directly from Samsung, or perhaps download it from this thread. If that is present, and you still can't get Odin to add the phone, then you should uninstall the driver, reboot windows, reinstall the latest driver, and reboot windows again, and then retry Odin.

I'll be sure to do that, I did an install right before plugging in my SGH and the last time I was having issue's my PC would do the same thing (I've recently formatted my laptop and reinstalled Windows 7). Kind of makes me think it could be something wrong with my phone's USB Port. But I'll try one more time and report back.

If the USB driver is installed and working correctly, then the problem is most likely in the connection between the phone and the computer. Yes, possibly the usb port on the phone, but it could be the cable, or the usb port on the computer as well.

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?
audboi said:

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...
THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED!
If you have the MTP usb device driver error (code 10), then scroll down and try what worked for me.

So, I used Odin to reset my vibrant back to stock 2.1. I then tried to get it to 2.2 using Samsung Kies, but when ever I try to use it, MTP Device fails to install. Anyone know how to get the driver to install / work correctly so that I can use Kies? Thank you in advance.

You should really avoid using kies if possible. It is notorious for hard bricking phones, meaning they become paper weights if something goes wrong. You should install clockwork mod recovery and install a custom 2.2 ROM, there are literally tons to choose from and they are pre-rooted. Some of the custom ROMs have odin images so you could actually skip the clockwork recovery step. I'll link you to the 2.2 ROM I'm using or you can search for something different. Here is Axura 2.2, use the odin image in the 3rd post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787267.

If you want 2.2 (Froyo) installed on your Vibrant, like the other poster said, there are literally tons of great builds.
Here is a link to one that I really liked, it had great battery life, and overall good performance. Bionix V - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21324042
As stated above, please avoid using the Kies software, it generally creates many more problems than it is worth.
I've used Kies many times, so I know what I'm doing. But apparently this time something about the MTP driver isn't going alright. Could be that I have this fairly new computer? I've already tried installing the vibrant drivers, but for what ever reason I keep getting a code 10 error for the MTP usb device. :/
Well if your not doing so already, try running the program as administrator.
However, not sure why you are so hell bent on running the stock Froyo via Kies, when there are so many other amazing Froyo/GB/ICS/and now JB custom ROMs that work MUCH much better, and have way better support than Samsung could ever provide.
However, to each his own. Good luck to you with your endeavors!
Which ROM I want has nothing to do with my question. The problem is the MTP usb device, which apparently fails to start. (Code 10)? I've seen that it's a common problem, but there isn't any one definite answer. I was hoping maybe someone here knows how to fix it?

Ah! Finally found a solution! Not sure if this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
1. Plug up your phone like usual. Connect with Samsung Kies. Obviously, you will get get MTP code 10 error.
2. Go to the device manager, and then uninstall the driver. Unplug your phone.
3. Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers and rename wudfrd.sys and winusb.sys to wudfrd1.sys and winusb1.sys respectively.
3. Plug your phone back in, and connect with Kies.
4. The computer will try and install the driver again, but fail.
5. Go to the device manager again, and attempt to update the driver. It should fail, and you should get a (code 28) error this time. Make sure you have a code 28 error!
6. Go back to c:\windows\system32\driver and rename the 2 files back to it's original names.
7. Go to c:\windows\inf and look for a file named wpdmtp.PNF. Take the file, and move it somewhere else (like your desktop) don't delete it.
8. Now go to the MTP usb device again, and attempt to update drivers. It should update, and recognize your device now.
This is what worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you. I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong.

Now is really solved.
For some reason, any of those options helped me to make it work:
- Reinstall Windows Media Player
- Remove registry key
- Clean up old usb drivers
- re-install 100 times drivers from Verizon, Samsung. Even old versions.
- Install from Windows Update. I tried to do that 1000 times. Gosh!
- enable UMT access (mass storage) on the phone.
The only thing that worked was, for some reason , getting the drivers from a random computer that was the only computer that worked.
Windows 7 x64
Attached the files. Go to the devices manager and update the drivers.

Thanks a ton...saved my day.
My phone has the AT&T installed ICS, using odin and the ics .tar files my friend found for me the phone went through most of the process, and failed right at the end. It is now stuck at the recovery mode screen and I can't get Kies to recognize it at all, but it is recognized by both computers I have tried it on. I am really not sure what exactly I can do to get it back running again. I have tried to read all I can, but honestly I just don't know what I am doing enough to be sure of what to do next to recover it and if that relates to other problems people have had that have been solved.
I found this post about odin tips for better success - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863995, but nothing I have seen has helped me from it. I found a few other occurrences of the same thing, but no solution within those threads, so I have no idea how even to proceed.
Any help is appreciated!
Make sure you reboot your pc, start odin, put phone in recovery, then connect usb cable. Make sure Kies isn't running in the background.
Agreed....
Run the process again........but you must ensure a clean working environment, and "NO" kies running while Odin is running....g
I did those steps multiple times on two separate computers. The first initially didn't even have kies installed, just the samsung drivers, but Odin failed repeatedly without even really starting. I restarted computers no USB hubs, tried different cables, different USB ports, nothing changes. Even the kies recovery doesn't recognize the phone at all, but it does still appear to the computers. I appreciate the responses, but what other steps can I take to ensure I am doing this properly? Could it potentially have been the tar file I have, and if so, can I just do the process from this screen, and where can I find the correct files if it wasn't include in one of the tons of threads on here about it?

Go to samfirmware.com, and restore the device from the website direct...
It appears that you may have the download mode drivers, or a portion of them damaged or unreadable...( due in large part, to the fact that Odin "must" complete the flash process, then disconnect and reboot the device, in order for the flash to stick, and this didnt happen)
Be very careful here my friend, you are one step away from needing a JTAG repair....(BAD)
The website will push a recovery rom image to your device without the need for Odin drivers....and should give you a factory rom that functions correctly....
I dont have a direct link...(sorry) but this is the last attempt before the device is needing much deeper attention....g
Again..its samfirmware.com, or very near that....g
Edit: I'm very sorry you are having this issue, but we are here to help you through it.....So take a few deep breaths, and relax a bit, then hit the website I gave you..
then look in the tools section at the top, and go from there.....you got this....g
Ok, I will take a look at that when I get home! typical of me to push it to the limits. Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...

Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.

OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252
Hi everyone, i hope to find a solution writing there, since i'm kinda desperate about my situation.
So, i got this telephone, a s2 I9100g, but only the day after i noticed the browser was in chinese. Looked up a bit better inside and i found it is a chinese version of the telephone (original one, but made for chinese market).
So i tryed to pull in an original rom, but it failed; i found a guide to how to fix this problem, and become able to flash the italian rom on it.
Basically, i followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702479%22 I did all the steps using the CHN version of the bootloader and.. i know, i was so stupid there, but since it got stuck at NAND writing (i did not see the progress bar after 15 minutes), i simply unplugged the cable.
Well, after that the phone didn't enter reset/download mode, but it started showing the yellow phone---!---pc screen, with wrote above "software update fail", and something else in chinese.
There is what i tryed to do:
-Flash another rom (tryed 2) with different versions of odin, 1.3,1.6 and 3.07.
odin does recognize the telephone with the drivers installed, but if i start it, it gets stuck at setup connecting phase and failing after. Same with all versions.
-use OneClickUnbrick, i tryed to start it normally and from CMD.
with the drivers which odin and windows use to recognize the telephone (last ones available on samsung website), it says "usb drivers are not properly installed attempting to install drivers". So, it starts Zadig. I follow the steps there, and the installation completes succesfully. But at this point, when i plug in the telephone windows recognizes it but fails installing the device with drivers, and odin doesn't recognize it at all, while oneclick keeps showing the "usb drivers are not properly installed" window, time after time even if i keep reinstalling with success the drivers using Zadig.
-delete everything and install Kies.
none of the programs above does see the telephone now, neither windows.
Tryed to follow the steps i did before after having it installed, nothing changed.
Every of this tryes, i did the following "changes":
-removing and inserting the battery
-changing usb port
-changing cable
-changing computer
-trying to enter reset/download mode by holding vol up/down+mid button+power
Would be enough to make odin go over the setup connecting phase, or kies to recognize it, or OneClick to stop showing the window about drivers.
I read that seems i'm in a hard brick case, but since the phone is seen by odin and windows and the battery does recharge, i got still a bit of hope.
Thanks
Click the link in my signature, there's more troubleshooting steps to try. You've done a few but not all of them.
I would usually say that pulling out the cable leaves you with no hope, but you seem to have gotten a little lucky. Don't hold your breath though.

Click to collapse
Tryed all the steps.
Nothing changed.
You can either keep trying or take to a service centre & pay to have it fixed *shrugs*
