Problem downloading with Odin on Galaxy Alpha - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is a Galaxy Alpha, SM-G850F, latest update from 2017-04-24. Factory reset. Just entered accounts.
My Odin (in admin mode) connects fine, ID:COM, 0:[COM6] for example ...
Phone is in download mode, USB debugging enabled, ADB connects fine as test when booted, external software allowed (if that matters).
Trying to flash twrp recovery, e.g., 3.1.1.,
Odin versions tried V3.12.7 (latest stable among others), result:
OSM:
MD5 Check finished successfully .. Leaving CS
<ID:0/006>:
Odin Engine v(ID:3.1207)..
File analysis ..

Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
NAND Write Start!!
SingleDownload.
twrp-3.1.1-slte-2.img (comes from a properly posted tar.md5 as evidenced above)
....
nothing happens!
No download, nothing. Why?
Changed Cables, changed USB drivers, AV disabled ... no success.
This should be possible without rooting!
Anyone have an idea what is happening? Why not a single byte gets downloaded? Thanks.

Try to flash with old Odin Version for example Odin 9.7

Option 1: Reboot your computer and retry
Option 2: Use another USB port and try
Option 3: Use another/original USB cable and try
Well after these 3 options are exhausted..only option left is SC as it means your NAND is corrupted..

i tried to bring the phone to the samsung service center here in philippines but they said they dont have a firmware that match my phone, they can only restore a samsung s3 that came from asia, i think mine is made in spain or mexico, i do not really know but the user manual that comes from the box is in spain language, and the samsung technician said that the only solution is change the main board but they are afraid that it might not work properly if they install a board that came from asian version of s3, and they said that as of now they dont have a board to replace my board, (sorry for my bad english)
thanks a lot guys

That thread is for Verizon SGSIII..have you checked with OP that if it works with GT-I9300?
are you able to go into recovery stock/CWM..if yes..connect to adb... go to shell and type mount..
see the permissions for /dev/block/mmcblk0p09 whether it is ro or rw..if yes then you will have to follow that thread but contact the op first as the two bootchain files are not for GT-I9300

Toolkit for using adb to perform few main operations (push, pull, dump, flash, root, etc). It is usefull if you don't know how to use terminal adb semantic.
Read about it here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
PS. Befor flashing, launch Odin with Administrator rights (right mouse clic on shortcut or program file - Run as Administrator).
Also remember to store all files in C: drive with short path:
C:\Flash\Odin\...
C:\Flash\Firmware\firmware_version\...
Do not use paths with spaces or unusual chars.

i follow carefully every single step and options that you give, but still doesent work :crying: im losing hope to ressurect this phone :crying: but thank you for your help..
any other suggestions?
Im affraid that you can not do anything more without USB debugging enabled and with no possibility to use service codes.
You cant use adb functionallity in this case which will be your last hope.
Have you tried all Odin versions, even 1.3? You can try to use another data cable, it is standarized and should work one from other phone or even camera - miniUSB to USB.
Maybe you wil find gsm center with riftbox or something simmilar to flash your device.
I'm out of ideas what else can help you.

still cant flash!
I have tried the process through kies, the same thing happens as when i try to flash via odin, the process bar goes straight to full and freezes there.
In odin it says NAND write start though. nothing appears to be working

What does SC mean?

wow that was easy to brick a samsung fascinate 4g T959P

So I got the phone rooted with superoneclick and I was wanting to make a recovery back up I found the cwm-recovery-ALL.tar at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and odin3-v1.85'ed it with only auto reboot and F.reset check. I add cwm-recovery-ALL.tar to PDA.
The drivers where installed and the odin message gave me a Added!! so I click on start and it didn't do anything, so I pulled the cable out and rebooted. Now I have a error on the phone "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please selecdt recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I have a phone .. yellow ! .. computer
or
[_]../!\..[__]
What do I do now. Surely my phone is not that easily soft-bricked?
I should have this download mode on my phone http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/387149_10151162123669441_1216949137_n.jpg
But instead it is this...
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/554858_10151162113709441_1081303688_n.jpg
I am considering following this thread here and going to stock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18823545&postcount=43
ere is the process that this guide will take you through:
1) Flashing your T959P back to 2.2.1 Stock (This gives a nice fresh starting point)
2) Bring the phone up to Stock 2.3.4, and do a factory data reset.
3) Install the SGH-T959P-Stock_plus_Voodoo_CWM_2.3.4.tar to root the stock 2.3.4, and install Voodoo lagfix / ClockworkMod recovery.
But I am thinking all I have done at the worse is put the wrong CWM on my phone so i am working on fixing that.
1. do I ahve the right CWM recovery tar? got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
2. is there something wrong with my computer that is stopping the flash -- so I have tried 1.85 and 3.07, tried different ports on the same computer, pulled the battery on the phone, tried a different cable, and of course stop and start odin, now I am moving to a different computer.
Here is the log from odin 1.85, it goes like this 5 seconds after I click start and it doesn't reboot.

So I got the phone rooted with superoneclick and I was wanting to make a recovery back up I found the cwm-recovery-ALL.tar at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and odin3-v1.85'ed it with only auto reboot and F.reset check. I add cwm-recovery-ALL.tar to PDA.
The drivers where installed and the odin message gave me a Added!! so I click on start and it didn't do anything, so I pulled the cable out and rebooted. Now I have a error on the phone "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please selecdt recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I am considering following this thread here and going to stock...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18823545&postcount=43
ere is the process that this guide will take you through:
1) Flashing your T959P back to 2.2.1 Stock (This gives a nice fresh starting point)
2) Bring the phone up to Stock 2.3.4, and do a factory data reset.
3) Install the SGH-T959P-Stock_plus_Voodoo_CWM_2.3.4.tar to root the stock 2.3.4, and install Voodoo lagfix / ClockworkMod recovery.
But I am thinking all I have done at the worse is put the wrong CWM on my phone so i am working on fixing that.
1. do I ahve the right CWM recovery tar? got it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
2. is there something wrong with my computer that is stopping the flash -- so I have tried 1.85 and 3.07, tried different ports on the same computer, pulled the battery on the phone, tried a different cable, and of course stop and start odin, now I am moving to a different computer.
Here is the log from odin 1.85, it goes like this 5 seconds after I click start and it doesn't reboot.

Launch odin with admin powers (sudo/su for linux, or whatever).
Then click PDA and select the tar.md5 file and start.

[Q] Phone stuck on...

Hey everyone, so I've been using a Cyanogenmod S2 for the past few months and everything was great.
Until recently it started to reboot by itself,
until one day when I woke up "Kernel panic upload mode" was on the screen.
I rebooted the phone,
and then was greeted with a black screen after the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen.
The buttons do light up, but nothing else could be done.
I entered download mode to flash a new firmware,
but then somehow it failed and then it says connect to computer to redownload firmware or something when I boot it on right now.
I can't get it to flash anything at all, whenever I use odin it gets stuck at setup connection,
I installed Kies but it doesn't recognize my phone as well, neither does my computer....
Need help. Desperately. :crying::crying::crying:

That's the problem, I can't seem to get Odin to flash no matter what, I've already tried different versions of Odin,
but they always end up with either this (failure) or stuck at setup connection..
Any ideas, please?
There's been many threads re: this issue on here over the past week listing the troubleshooting steps to go thru when Odin won't work, search for those threads (Immortalneo has listed them, go through his posts as a shortcut).
Edit - Hang on a minute, what model number do you have; what's the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?

I'm using a GT-i19100
I'm going through immortalneo's posts but so far nothing's up..
Am currently following this guide but to no avail, (no .pit file in the compressed .rar file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40154030&highlight=+pit#post40154030
Edit: I think it's a GT-i19100G because I vaguely remember such a thing on the startup screen...
If you've got an I9100, why are you trying to flash firmware for T-989 ?? I suggest you go back to Samfirmware & get an I9100 stock rom for starters.
Ignore that guide; your phone isn't bricked. However, it may well be if you try & flash a PIT file (Although, if you've somehow flashed firmware for a different model including PIT, you may need to at some point. Just not yet). OK. This is the first & last time I'm posting this stuff for the next month:-
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work
-----------------------------------
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & all it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are (choose 'kill process tree').
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
Hello everyone ..
It could solve the problem? I am in a very similar, and have helped me a lot, but none of the options so far have been effective. I'm starting to resign myself to use it as a paperweight, but still have not lost hope.:crying:

Stop Now :0 ! You are trying to install a T-Mobile T989 firmware.It's a Galaxy s2 too,but from T-Mobile.It's not the same.Search on Sammobile for an I9100 firmware,preferable Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.Of course it gives an error,because it's not the right firmware.

[Q] [HELP] Bricked GPS 4.2, stuck at 'nand write' in Odin

Hi all,
A classmate of my son has a bricked GPS 4.2 (YP-GI1CW/XEN). Another classmate tried to root it. But it got wrong.
By reading and searching guides here, i have rooted some htc phones and succesfully tried several roms, so i offered to take a look.
I did not know this player before and i dont know what happened to it. The only think my son has heard is: someone rooted it, installed a rom, made it empty again, searched for the right software (rom), but could not find it.
When we got the phone it only showed the logo of galaxy S2. There is no sd-card inside.
I spend hours of reading, finding the download mode (3-button), odin, heimdall, kies etc.
Tried everything, but can't get it done
Could anyone please help me?
Download method works
The 3-button method works and gets the player in download mode.
Info on screen: (WITHOUT usb connection!)
Odin mode
Product name: YP-GI1
Custom binary download: yes (13 counts)
Current binary: custom
downloading....
do not turn off target!!

I tried and maybe did stupid things
I have tried heimdall and kies. Kies does not see the player. Heimdall does, but it did not work or i could not work with it.
Installed and uninstalled Heimdall following their textfile.
I unstalled Kies also. Cleaned up my computer. Updated java. Used ccleaner. etc. Removed unused devices, with 'device remover'
Once or twice i clicked the "re-partition" in odin. With or without PIT-file. Now I read, that this could brick your phone. :silly:
I tried all tabs, now i know i should only use the PDA-tab.
I might have done more stupid things.
I found "one-click" in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310
It took me a while before seeing that not all things where good for this player type. When rooting htc, a wrong rom won't brick your phone, so i did not take it too seriously.
I tried 1 or 2 roms, before seeing that they where for other player versions.
I tried the GalaxyPlayer-Bootloader.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669
Now i see it is specially for player 5.0.
Here i also used the partition file.
At last i did:
Installed samsung usb drivers again: "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe"
From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
When connecting the player to the computer (while already in download mode), windows start 'downloading' the samsung drivers again...
Dont know why and if this can be a problem.
Tried ADB in command, but 'adb devices' does not give a list, but odin seems to work at first.
Odin (3 v3.07) recognizes it and says:
<ID:0/010> Added!!
and: "0:[com100]"
Now in Odin I first uncheck ALL checks like: repartition, auto reboot and refresh time and the others.
I did try the "NAND ERASE" option. Erasing looks to hang, but at last Odin comes back and gives a fail on flashing.
Between every odin try, I remove the battery, unconnect usb and restart the download mode, then connect again, then start Odin again.
Now I tried 3 roms/kernels:
- CWMStockGI1 kernel.tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198444)
- yp-gi1cw.factoryfs.rooted.tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884071)
- yp-gi1cw.kernel.stock.tar (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1884071)

Please help. :crying:
Stop before you actually brick it!!!
STOP EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!!! First thing's first, this is a samsung device and not a HTC device. You screw up flashing this with the wrong device rom and you are screwed. right now, you are lucky in that the state of the device is currently in the state of what is called a softbrick or download only. you need to get stock files for this exact device, preferably able to be used with odin. then after that you can focus on rooting the device. honestly, dont touch the device right now, post a fourm under q and a asking for who has stock recovery files for a 4.2 international version, (i am guessing that you have the international version due to what your location is set as.) once you get those, then flash them with odin. then once it is working again, you can use this exploit to root it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859&highlight=rooting
good luck.
Thanks for your reply.
I was indeed aware that i should not touch the player, until i got feedback
Though I am a bit suprised that flashing a wrong rom could get me into a hard brick.
I will look for the recovery software you mentioned or ask for it.

in terms of the recovery images, your going to need to ask someone with a 4.2 to get them off of theirs and send them to you. odin and hemidall are avaiable in the galaxy player all in one forum at the top of the development page.
interms of the wrong image hard bricking a device, it is possable with samsung devices (i've done it once before and have learned to be carefull). Most samsung galaxy player roms not only contain the rom, but also a kernel. if a kernel that was not made for your device is flashed on to it. it might as well be a hard brick because with out a jtag box, you will never get it working again.
I hope you are able to obtain the files and i wish you the best of luck.

[Q] GT-I9505 brick

Hello,
So I accidently deleted a folder of photos vs the one photo i wanted to. In my attempts to recover the photos i tried to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. I tried to use Odin and I kept getting an error saying my phone was removed during the process. I tried mutiple USB ports which no luck. Now my phone is stuck with "Firmware has encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." So i downloaded Kies which then told me my phone does not support initialization. so i tried Kies 3 which doesnt support my phone model. I am trying to download the firmware from samsung website, but due to where i am stationed the internet isnt the best. Is there anything a super rookie like me can do? would a factory reset solve my issue? Please help me, I need my phone to keep in touch with my family back home.

If you can boot into recovery, a factory reset can't harm. But it might not fix your issues.
Can you still boot your phone into download mode? If yes, then just download the original stock rom from sammobile.com. It's best to choose the version for your country and carrier. Install it with Odin.
If you still want to root, try chain fire autoroot. Again with Odin.
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu
But after flashing stock Rom, I doubt you will be able to recover your photos. So no point in rooting if you don't care about having root.

Yes i can still access download mode..I think i tried using Chainfire with Odin but Rooting is something for another day. I just want to get my phone operational at a minimum. Im currently trying to download firmware from Samsung-update.com or something like that. Is sammobile.com a better site for me to use? I'm at work right now so I am unable to work on the issue at hand but once I get the stock ROM how easy is it to get on to the phone using Odin?

Samsung-updates is just as good.
The firmware you download will probably be a zip file. You should extract it if it's a zip. You should end up with a file with the extension: tar or tar.md5.
You have to boot your phone into download mode.
Start Odin on the pc in administrator mode.
Connect the phone to the pc. Use the original USB cable that came with the phone.
You should see the text: in Odin when you connect the phone.
Put the firmware you downloaded in Odin in PDA or if you're using the latest version, in AP.
Make sure only: "auto reboot" and "f. Reset time" are checked.
Click start and wait until your phone restarts. (10 minutes or more)
You're done.
EDIT: one more thing, make sure Kies isn't running in the background. It might interfere with Odin.
