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
Sent from my Galaxy5 using XDA App
Dude have u tryd using samsung kies it might detect it n let u do an emergancy firmware recovery or maybe (a verry unlikely maybe but still a maybe) it will detect the problem and provide u a solution hope this helps.

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.

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

Thanks for your help ctomgee, I realy appreciate it.
I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

How to solve that
I have an S2 Hercules T989... I tried upgrading it from 2.3.6 to 4.0 but when I flashed with Odin 3.18 it gave me that error message.
I have tried four or five times reflashing it, rebooting to download mode but still it stayed like that for 1 1/2 hours...
So, I got to visit another site, I couldnt remember that actually, but it talked about on how to upgrade S3 to latest version.
There, I downloaded the latest version of Odin, too, that's v4 I think, and when I tried again (first time with that version), it worked!
You don't need to actually redownload the file, but instead, try other odin versions, recommended to download and use the latest one coz it will be the safest way to upgrade your galaxy device. Hope this helps.

Hello,
You must download stock ROM (multifiles), and .pit file.
You must select the .pit file, the stock ROM files, and flash it. (Everything via Odin)
Are you sure you have the latest samsung drivers for your phone? if not download it from the internet.
And then follow the below steps:
Go to download mode(vol up & down + power buttons)
wait for sometime ,you will come to a warning screen on your phone,press the vol up button,wait again
now check on odin on your computer,odin should have communication with your phone.
And you should have necessary files to unbrick ,if not do the following:
Download the latest firmware>use splitfus to obtain the PDA,CSC and MODEM/PHONE files
you will also need bootloader file and .pit file
Use odin to unbrick.
Easy when done right
Hi guys,
I read all the tutorials about rooting this model and still, none works for me.
I attached a picture of the exact model of phone.
It's not my forst time using Odin so, i know how to set up the drivers, odin, etc..
It just not working...what I'm I doing wrong?
Which tool are you using? Try with auto chainfire it works. you will have to flash it with odin (in download mode)
I'm using Odin (latest vers) with proprer .tar file, in download mode.
All drivers installed, everything works fine, Odin the same...when i start the process...FAIL! (cannont write nand memory).
some links will be helpful..
LE: it seems the problem is with the drivers. In download mode it says Unknown device.
I installed the correct drivers, unistall and install again, install Kies...still Unknown device in download mode.
help?
Open kies > click tools > Reinstall device software. if this does not work then maybe you can try using a different computer? just to diagnose if the problem is with the rooting procedure or the Drivers, or the cable ....

I did the reinstall drivers, the cable is fine (the procedure works until writing nand memory than fails), i use the exact CF you gave me.
I think it might be from the computer...
are you close Kies before strating with odin?
Try with a diff computer n yes u need to close kies before using odin also make sure ur doing the right steps to put ur phone in download mode
Also please watch HOW TO USE ODIN videos from youtube. there is an indicator in odin which has to turn "GREEN" in order for flashing to take place.
isn't green, it's blue...if you mean the connection port...
yup is blue,if nothing help than flash older firmwere NI3 or NK & than make a root
