Plugged in my phone today, Kies states that there is an update available. I go through the update, no issues, it then states there is a firmware update available as well. Phone starts to do that update, but then stops, and has issues. Phone is stuck in download mode (yellow android guy in caution sign) I stupidly unplugged my phone, and it went into the phne!computer mode.
Looked all over in the forums, and it all says that I have to open Odin3 on my PC. I searched my computer, and can't find it anywhere, but I am rooted, using a procedure found on the forums here.
I have removed battery, and entered back into the download mode, but now have no idea what to do.....!!!! Help!!
You have to download Odin3 and get your phone to the stock firmware.
Head over to Galaxy S forums. Which Galaxy S model do you have?
Model number is SGH I897. I'll go there and try to get it.

I tried using these instructions
httttp://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=368733
to update my phone.(US ATT Captivate SGH I897) I got all the way through to the main juicy bit, the phone goes into downloading mode and it starts trying to apply the new firmware Kies downloaded. After a few minutes it says it failed and I have to do "emergency recovery."
Emergency recovery also fails. Now when powered on I get the picture of a phone and computer with ! between. I can go into downloading mode. What should I do?
Use ODIN3 HERE to go back to Eclar and then re-run the update via Kies Mini provided by ATT.
Be sure to remove your SD card from the phone.
I fixed it...
Didn't even need to go back to eclair with odin. All I did was plug my phone into the first USB port on the motherboard, (I had been using one of those crappy ones on the front of a desktop) ran emergency recovery, and then my phone booted into 2.2 just like magic. Guess it actually succeeded the first time..
Anyway in the future if anyone has trouble with samsung kies mini, make sure you're on a real USB port and not one attached to a card like mine were.
Im new to all this phone stuff so bare with me, I have no knowledge of all these terms either. Example: Flash, Root, etc...big noob I know. Anyways I ran into a problem with the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (4g) IDK :crying:, I was trying to go from version 2.1 Froyo to 2.2 Gingerbread? I was using Kies Mini to update it, It was successful...than I thought..."ehhh this new update sucks!" So I was on youtube and I saw ICS..I attempted to down patch versions or I believe Flash?(Correct me if I'm wrong) my phone back to Eclair.. Uninstalling Kies Mini and Installing the Samsung USB Driver(Note: Restarted Comp)... Wiped everything clean from my phone because I had nothing really important on my phone.. Downloaded T959UVJFD.TAR, Odin3 v1.3, and the s1_odin_20100512.pit Files...Now I turned my phone into Download mode, plugged in my USB, Odin said COM3, opened my pit file along with the tar file. Clicked on start and received "FAIL" in the end, I turned off my phone, cell phone icon with exclamation mark in the middle along with a pc. Used OneClick to soft unrick? my phone and got it back to Download mode and safe mode but!!!
When I reboot my phone it Boot Loops?(I see Galaxy S over and over again) Now I was doing some research and I keep seeing something about USB Debugging?! I also seen it in my settings option too! Maybe I had to check that to get past Odin? I cant get into my phone to click that USB Debugging anymore either... So lost... Please Help :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Sounds like you flashed the vibrant files to the sgs4g.
Kc1 & kd1 are pre gingerbread.
Kj6 is the gingerbread
Search xda abit more. Find the oneclick back to stock.
Okay, so I tried to flash on Android Gingerbread on Froyo though Odin. I assembled all the files rightly and still it won't re-partition. I unplugged the USB cable and now the phone doesn't turn on. It shows "Computer ! phone" kind of symbol, but download mode STILL works. I also kept trying to flash, but Odin hangs up and then fails. I have checked all the threads related to this, but those didn't do it for me. Any solution, please?
Hope this is the right place to be asking this question
First timer so pls excuse if i miss out anything.
I was doing an ota firmware update to my t mobile Samsung note 2 (SGH-T889) using kies 3.1. My phone was stuck on 41 percent for about an hour so i disconnected the phone thinking that it will reboot and ask me to reconnect. Well since it didnt, its been stuck on this firmware encounter an issue please selcet recovery mode in kies and try again.
I hooked it back up and now in kies it just says connecting but nothing happens.
i tried putting my phone in download mode to see if itll connect to kies and still nothing. The phone wont allow me to get into recovery mode due to this issue. Im a mac user so i even downloaded wine to use odin i downloaded all samsung drivers needed for a connection and odin cant even detect my phone. Im not sure if usb debugging is on in my phone . I cant access nothing on my phone i tried many tricks on youtube looked at xda forms i even went into tmobile and they didnt kno what to do. Im using the factory usb, i tried diff ports and just cant seem to get a good connectiong between either programs. Please helps its been 3 days without a phone..thank you

Good luck!
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930A. I recently rooted my phone and it was causing alot of problems such as slowdown and bugs. So, I tried to put stock firmware on it and I was unsuccessful. Now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. I need to know how to properly install stock firmware into my phone because I have followed guides on XDA'S website and Odin keeps failing. I really need help with this because I don't even have a working cell phone.

Download samsung kies 3 and put the phone in download mode and try to recover the phone by flashing the default firmware that came with the phone.
Kies 3 does not support my device (SM-G930A)

Thank you for the response but when I connected my phone to Kies 3, I got a message that said "we do not support this device". I have also tried Samsung Smart Switch and that did not work either. Is there another method for restoring my phone and getting it out of the bootloop?

Yes i know you get that msg in kies but you still will be able to flash the orig fw back to the device with kies. Just put the phone in download mode before hooking up the phone to the pc then start kies
And go to the top bar and select the 4th tab where you will see recovery. Then it will ask you for the model number and some other things and after that it will flash the fw for you. I have done this a couple of times now so i can tell you 100% that it will work

I'm actually trying to do exactly this now, and have tried re-entering the correct model number and serial number into Kies numerous times.
No matter what, Kies continues to state "Please check the model name and enter it" even though all of the info entered is correct.
Any suggestions? I'm doing this with my G930A on Nougat (model "SM-G930A")
