I own Samsung galaxy S. by mistake I used the wrong ROM files (odin) and now its running "AT&T SGH-i897 (Captivate) ROM". the home screen is not working and the phone restarting every ~ 2 minutes.
I've tried to update using ODIN but the computer doesn't recognize the phone (not a drivers issue).
On the recovery mode it failed to use the update.zip files.
I tried to format everything, full wipe and factory defaults - didn't help.
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
-Yaniv
if odin doesn't recognize your phone its probably a driver issue, use samsung lies to install drivers ( even if soft bricked), then get into download mode and odin should recognize your phone
had nightmares with stupid odin.
i know what the problem is. it is the computer. get another computer and try. preferably on XP. i went through 3 computers till the damned odin would listen to me.
Hi guys,
First of all sorry for bad english.
I turned my dives of because it was stuck when deinstalling an app.
Now, when i boot it, the boot animation comes, then the samsung logo,then the boot animation and so on.
My device is rooted. I had a backup with cwm but when i restore it it says:
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Can't mount /data!
But this backup worked before...
I tried to flash a new firmware with odin but odin won't recognize my device in download/odin mode.
What can i do? I searched for 5 hours now...
Thx for answers
Odin must recognize your device if you are in download mode.Just wait a moment and he will.If not try to change the usb port.
When you see the com in yellow tick repartition select you pda and flash
Even i had the same problem there r 3 things u can change
1:change your connecting cable
2:reinstall samsung drivers and then try again
3:change ports
Even after u flash stock firmware it does bootloop then do a factory reset from stock recovery
This should work

Odin recognize devices in download mode. Ur devive was in? If not.
Remove battery, sd, plug in pc.
Hold power+volumeUp+volumeDown for 6sec.
Inserts batery.
Run odin as adm.
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
did you try to do a factory to do a factory reset from stock recovery
How it worked
Thank for your help guys, i figured that maybe doing this in a virtual machine was not a good idea...
But thats the recipe:
1. Try to AWAYS use the drivers that automatically install when you plug in your phone, because the samsung drivers I downloaded didn't work
for me.
2. NEVER install new drivers on top of the old ones; always deinstall the old ones first.
3. Try again and again and again! Don't stop after the first five times trying.

Hello , I use Galaxy Tab 4 , SM-T235
and it suddenly started getting slower , I did not use any kind of rooting , I restarted my device and now it stuck to Samsung Logo
I tried to use Odin to put a new ROM or firmware or whatever it is, but Odin says FAILED , after that when I restart my Tab , it shows " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue , please select recovery mode in Kies and try again "
so now the only thing I can do is going to download mode , I tried using Kies but it shows connecting and it takes forever for connecting but it never connects and it never shows any error, when I go to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery , it asks for recovery code , and I have no idea what's that , I tried many times with Odin , but it keeps failing , I changed the USB cable and used other USB ports and other Odin versions and it keeps showing FAILED .
So I appreciate it if anyone helps me !
Hello
I have the US Wifi Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 2019
I tried to do a flash and something went wrong. Odin froze and when I went to cancel the download, it booted back up with
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function
in the Smart Switch PC software.
I tried using the emergency recovery but it wont recognize the device. I reinstalled
the USB drivers but no go. Only one time it worked it said the device was unrecognized.
Am I screwed?
