Tried that same thing. Basically I just want cyanogenmod so I went to the wiki and it didn't say anything about rooting so I followed the instructions on the heimdall flash and at the end of the transfer it says failed to communicate last package or something like that?

Hmm, that's weird. and i'm sure you have redownloaded the tar and pit files. Try Odin 1.9 and see if it jogs something loose in there.

The tar and pit files are for odin. So you will find these in the rooting guide.

Ok..make sure you are using the correct files....your tar file should be "T959UVJFD.tar" and the pit should be "s1_odin_20100512.pit".
Can you confirm that you have these files loaded into Odin?

Cannot flash ROMs, error saying...

Whenever I try to flash a ROM, it says:

I tried flashing kernels with ODIN, I tried downloading the ROMs again, I tried with multiple recoveries. How can I fix this?!

Flash a rom how with Odin ??? if so are the files Odin flashable or CWM zip files .
This reads as you are flashing the wrong files with the wrong format .
zip bad means bad file its that simple .
What file are you trying to flash and with what is the basic question .

Sorry if I was being unspecific, but I mean I tried flashing other kernels to see if it fixed my problem. I can open the .zip files that I am trying to flash on my computer, but I just can't seem to make them flash to my phone.
But what are you flashing the zip files with on the phone CWM 4 if so use a later CWM and root from Chainfires thread .

I am flashing with CWM, of course
I am on CF-Root kernel. I did try multiple recoveries, including the one in Siyah kernel. I'm sure that my phone is rooted, since I can do regular rooting stuff on it.
I just tried downloading the ROM again, and it still gives me that same error. There should be nothing wrong with my USB cable or connection, since I can transfer other files that work to my phone. I did try multiple ROMs, but they all just seem to not let me flash. It just stopped working all of a sudden.
I just looked at a thread with a guy having the same problem on his Transformer, and it turned out it was CWM corruption. He used something called Gnufabio RecoveryInstaller to fix it. Is there anything like this on the SGS II?

most probable case is your downloading everytime gettiing correpted..
try to download a ROM which has got MD5 checksum....and check the MD5 check sum after puting it into SD card using AFV tool market...
if you are on GB rom, download Siyah kernel Odin version and flash from Odin and see

Good idea, I'll just have to find a ROM like that then I will try and downgrade to GB with ODIN and then flash Siyah with ODIN first, to see if that'll work.

Downgrading to GB and trying there didn't work, I'll have to find a ROM with a MD5 Checksum then. How was it that I checked the MD5 after it's on the phone?

another option to try is....even chances are very less to work...download ROM manager and flash Clockworkmode from that and reboot into recovery from Rom manager, if flashing of update.zip seccess you will get a recovery, then you try to install rom from that...
this worked for me once when my CWM gave me a treble

I'll try that. I just checked the MD5s, and it appears that the data I transfer to my phone gets corrupted. Maybe I should try downloading it from the phone.

I will try and download the ROM directly from my phone. This is getting on my nerves. I'm hoping that it's got nothing to do with my phone, and that it's just something to do with my computer or something. I'm running out of options here.
I am very, very, very, very, very, very relieved to inform you that it was indeed something with the connection from my computer to my phone! It worked! I wasted about three hours, but anyway. Thanks for sticking with me. Thanks to you!

if you dont want to have to download the roms directly on youre phone, you can use Xlink to transfer them from your computer wirelessly, you download an app from the play store and get a client for your computer.

Try with latest Odin. 1.85 i think. Also, before you try, unistall the phone from the PC and be sure that you have the correct drivers installed. Another suggestion is to try a different USB port.
If you phone boots, you can try Mobile Odin, its on the Play Store. No so sure about this one because i have never used it, but i guess you could give it a shot.
Start Odin with "Run as administrator" privileges.

You should not be bothering with ClockworkMod Recovery at all if you are flashing with Odin.
Recovery is built into the kernel.
Do all suggested above and also make sure you have a good usb cable. Cables do go bad.
BTW...what are you trying to flash?

What were you running before you decided to flash this? Stock Gingerbread? Stock ICS? Were you rooted before or are you now attempting to gain root? If rooted, were you running a custom GB rom or an ICS one? Answers to these will help determine how best you can be helped.

It seems you need to Odin flash a rom with a kernel that includes CWM recovery.
You are new here so the first place to go are the stickies like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682
Work from there and READ, READ, READ!!! Learn what you need because there is a huge amount of "old timers" here that will not spoon feed you any information.
It has been so long since I had to root my phone from stock and load a kernel with CWM recovery. I will try my best to help but will be pretty busy tonight. There may be additional knowledgeable people helping you in the meantime.
Good luck!!
Edit: Firmware corrupted may be an incomplete download. Try downloading the file again. BTW: Don't bother trying to Odin flash CWM recovery....it is built into custom kernels.

SOFT BRICK can't use smart switch or odin to flash stock rom

Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode

I presume you were talking about the "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i" file.
There was only a Cache.img and Recovery.img but no hidden.img
[EDIT]: My mistake I found the hidden .img in the SM-G920I firmware. I will try the rest now.

Could you explain how you found it please?
I have the same issue.
The screens you UL-ed dont help me.
I only see the first capture of yours appearing on my screen, but no hidden.img.
Thanks.
This did the trick. After 4 hours of frustration, this is the only thing that bailed me out. Thanks Alex :good:

rename the. tar.md5 to. tar now extract the tar with winrar and delete the hidden.img ..now use the tool to make a new firmware file without the hidden.img and flash it with Odin..

Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode

I was facing a very similar issue and this tip has saved me, thank you so much Alex-V
What is the hidden.img file used for and why does deleting it fix our issues?
Just curious,
Thank you again!
on a note 5 i can flash it that way too ?
if i have the same problem on a note 5 N920T (i know we are talking about S6 edge ) but doing that on any android with soft brick will work?
