Dang drivers from the tool box didnt help.. still get a com port on vibrant screen but not in download mode. If i get a com port then force it to download mode from the tool box it looses the port and PC looses it also....any ideas
...please help a dumb noob....
I dont think the Drivers are taking all the way because of the state of my device after installing them it never says ready to use. still gives me the com port on vibe screen but when I un plug from PC it says CDA or CDM found (sorry not sure bubble went away) because another one pops up saying hard ware may not work properly.. brand new phone please help..
I had this issue with the toolbox drivers as well - it wasn't installing the driver when in download mode. I used these drivers and all was well with odin:

Make sure to reset your comp after install.
I have Phone -- Triangle with Excaimion Mark -- Computer
But i tried getting into download mode but somehow i can't
I was coming back from Lidroid to stock odin KB5 from whitehawkxx
Pretty sure you can plug your phone in and use ODIN.
From what I know, that's also download mode, could be wrong, because I really don't remember.

you're saying ODIN won't detect the device while you're at that screen?
Best thing a found to get in download mode is a jig cheap to make or buy

Odin should still be able to recognize your phone with that screen
theres two types of those... exclaimion marks they're both different i know because one can odin detect it but one cannot.I'm not sure though
If you want a example of my screen go here :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RoZU5ZPMS4&feature=related
Like I said, it should still recognize it no problem...do you have Odin running before you plug in the USB?
Sent from my Winning Vibrant
when u see a pc plus the phone, like 2 icons, it means the odin process was interrupted and you just need to connect usb cable and odin again
I've done it both ways......
Edit: I got in download mode just had to open odin first..... ****ing me being a noob........ I'm very tech savvy but i was just being plain stupid...... I'm sorry for the people who tried to help me...

Lol Lesson learned huh.
Hello, I was attempting to flash Clockwork Mod on my G5, whilst doing it Odin crashed and now my phone is messed up.
It will turn on but a PC-Triangle with a ! in the middle-Phone, it will go into Download Mode but Odin doesn't recognise it so i can't re-flash it, any ideas?
Please help, this is urgent.
The phone itself is on stock, it turns on but displays the error i have described above, it will go into download mode but Odin doesn't recognsie it.
Thanks, Curtis.

No need to worry about it.
Uninstall the drivers associated with the phone. Are you using Windows?
For XP: Go to start > Control Panel > System > Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Find the driver for the phone. I remember it has a yellow icon, and the drivers name is a mix of capital letters
It's probably similar for Windows 7, but i wouldn't know.
Uninstall the driver associated with the phone, then reinstall by plugging your phone into the computer in download mode. It would help to uninstall and reinstall Odin as well, just in case.
If you get Odin to work, just work away like you would.
Thanks for your reply, i have uninstalled the drivers, but when i plugged my phone back in, the drivers are not being installed and i can not find them on the internet. Any ideas?
I know how i messed up, i completely forgot to root my phone before i started to flash, any ideas on how i can just get my phone back to its normal working everyday self?
Will i just need to get the device recognised by Odin then insert the Ops file and the I5500.tar file and flash it back to stock?
edit- managed to get drivers installed, now how do i fix my phone? Just flash the .OPS and the stock I5500.tar file?

I think it'll fail again if your phone isn't rooted. You can't get rid of the Computer-Caution-Phone image without succesfully using Odin.
You could try to flash the .tar and .ops file again. I can't see it working though unfortunately.
Any ideas then? Is there a way to root my phone via Odin or anything?

I've never heard of rooting your phone through the download mode or through Odin.
Maybe there's a file you can put on your phone through Odin which doesn't require root? I'll take a look around for you.
Thank you so much, i appreciate it, I'm 16, can't really live without a phone especially with college parties coming up in the next few days aha, I knew i shouldn't of risked around with flashing again!

Just thinking that Odin is a program which requires root so there won't be any file you can transfer when unrooted. I had a quick glance over at the Odin thread, and the first step is that you have to root your phone.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can think of which might help. Maybe if somebody with a bit more knowledge/expeerience sees this thread, they might help.
Can Odin detect your phone?
Ah man, thanks anyway, yes Odin detects my phone, I'm trying to use SuperOneClick Root on my PC- Do you know any other Root software that works on PC?

I don't know of any others, but Superoneclick works fine for the Galaxy 5. Like I said, I've never heard of using it during download mode so just be careful with that.
If Odin detects your phone, have you tried just closing Odin and plugging out the USB safely?
Can't use Superoneclick as my phone isn't in USB Debugging and i obviously can't change that aha I have just tried that, no luck with the closing Odin and unplugging it, should i try installing CWM again or is that a bad idea?

It's a bad idea because it just won't work. Odin will crash again.
I don't know what to do I'm afraid.
Looks like my phone is shagged due to my own stupidity, I forgot to root it because my phone was previously rooted and it went back for repairs, then I completely forgot i didnt install Root access -.-
Do you think i can recover my phone or is it well and truly gone?
Well it's not like your phone is bricked or anything. It's just broken a connection to Odin and it won't boot until it's completed.
You could always return it for repairs again. Your warranty might be broken though.
If I happen to come across a DIY fix then I'll post it here.
Thanks for your help mate, i've decided to just send my phone back for repairs, buy a new phone (Probably a Blackberry for BBM and stuff with all my mates), and sell my phone once i get it back.I have gave up on Samsung mobiles.
Thank you.
Did you send your phone alredy? Uncompress the firmware.tar file and unselect "one package in Odin" . On the boot in odin select the boot file of the .tar and run odin. Maybe that will help

Hi, had the very same issue as you. Odin crashed just few sec after start. What I did ; uninstalled everything (Odin & files comes with it, KIES). Then restart PC, go to Samsung.com and download latest KIES, when downloaded go to Tools and check for updates. Accept/run them, when done restart PC. Now, read the steps bellow, and see the attached picture.
1. Extract Odin v4.28 and Ops File.zip I5500XXXX.rar
2. Open Odin v4.28,
- Select OPS tab: EUROPA_v1.0.ops
- Make sure Auto Reboot & Protect OPS selected in Option tab
- get this I5500XFJPQ from samfirware.com ( for some strange reason only this package worked!), download, and unzipp to folder called GT-I5500. In to this folder place Odin and ops as well.
- Make sure One Package selected in Option tab
3. Turn off phone, remove battery for 5second, put it back
4. Hold "Volume Down, Center button & Power button" in the same time to enter Download Mode (yellow triangle)
5. Connect to PC with USB cable
6. When the data line and the phone connection is successful, com port shows yellow in Odin
7. Press Start on Odin
8. Waitin & Pray!
9. PASS, its done!
*Hard reset after flashing *2767*3855#
*Check ur Phone Info *#*#1234#*#*
Note: my i5500 was rooted, so if was yours then ok. When pressing buttons you must see an yellow triangle! If you don't see it don't try connect. Remove battery for 3-5 minutes and try again...
Thanks for the replies, I've got my 'broken' phone in its box on my wardrobe, Carphone Warehouse have ordered me a brand new G5 to replace mine, I should get that sometime next week, but I'm buying a HTC Wildfire S pretty soon anyway!
Thanks for your help, I'd rather keep my broken phone well, broke aha.
Have you tried flashing twrp recovery then using cf-autoroot?
I've read just about every thread on here with people having issues updating and nothing has worked for me. I can't seem to get kies to connect to my phone to use the emergency tool (tied just about every method here). I'm thinking it maybe best to try my hand again at reverting back to gb and see if kies will connect. I'm not sure what tools I need to go back to gb, rom, modem etc, and which order to flash them at. I've downloaded to my pc the big rar file located in the dev sticky section for unbricking but when I place the file into odin and run it, it fails...what do I do?

There is an issue with Kies updating if the modem file does not match what its looking for. If you have changed in ROM/rooted, etc there is a chance you have installed a version of the modem it deems unfit...and refused to update.
Follow these instructions to update your Note to the official ICS unrooted AT&T release;

Here is the simple way to do it and you can do it through Kies no matter what Firmware you are on.
1: Take battery out and write down the serial number exactly how it is written.
2: Put battery back in and cover back on.
3: Restart phone.
4: Place phone in Download Mode by holdin volume down and power buttons at the same time then when you get to the menu screen it will tell you to press volume up to continue, do that.
5: Run Kies, connect your device and inside Kies click on tools, in the dropdown menu click on Firmware Upgrade And Initialization.
6: In the popup screen type your serial number exactly how it it written under the battery and then type SGHI717 with all caps for the model name.
7: You will get a popup about downloading the firmware upgrade press ok.
8: Another popup will ask you if you agree, check the box about how you read and agree and click start upgrade.
Now Kies will download the firmware upgrade and your device will be upgraded to ICS.
FYI...Need to enter the dash in the model name = SGH-I717
