[Q] Odin3 - Stuck on "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET"

Need a little help. I'm in the process of testing out FF 2.04, coming from Andrometa. I'm trying to flash back to stock, but it's getting stuck in Odin3. I can get the phone in download mode, it just won't complete. Any ideas?
This is the output from odin:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/004> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Normally this process goes quick, so I know something is out of whack. Thanks for any help!

My fix for this has always been to pull the battery and try again. It'll work eventually. Last night I did it five or six times before rebooting my laptop, then it worked right away. Keep in mind that this puts you in the phone-! -computer screen, so if you have a phone that doesn't have the three button combo wait and see if anyone else has better advice.

Pull the plug and see if the phone will boot. If odin never started writing to the phone you will be back where you started. Then just flash straight to next rom. Odin sometimes acts up and a reboot of computer, different port, change of cable, or just trying again seems to normally fix the issue though.

rebooting my pc fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!

[Q] I'm in download mode...now what?

My phone is in download mode after using ODIN...it said completed and success, so i closed odin...now how do i get out of DL mode? is it safe to unplug/take out battery?

Phone should reboot, then unplug. If still in dl mode, odin did not flash
Take battery out you get out of dl mode

I unplugged the phone cause I couldn't do anything else. I plugged it back in and apparently ODIN is doing it again...

Now odin is stuck on File analysis. What do I do?

Please give more details as to what is happening when you run odin

The first time it did everything I think. It said success on ODIN but my phone did not reboot, it stayed in dl mode. Now odin says this

So the file you linked me cancelled DL at 99%. I looked around my downloads folder and found a different ODIN. I used 7zip on it and it opened. I tried this and it seems to be flashing. My phone is restarting! yes, thank you!

Good to hear

[Q] Unable to boot, not in debug mode

I'm running rooted JH7 with Voodoo lagfix. I was playing around with the plumBob GPS fix and flashed 0.93 through CWM. When I rebooted, I got stuck on the AT&T screen. After pulling the battery and trying a few more times, I decided to restore from a nandroid that I did a few weeks ago. While the phone booted after restoring, I was constantly getting FCs, making the phone entirely unusable.
At this point, I decided to flash back to stock using the AIO Toolbox 3.0. I used the download mode jig to get into DL mode, plugged the phone into my computer, and told it to flash to stock. At this point, I was told that the phone needed to be in USB debugging mode. How am I supposed to accomplish this when the phone is non-bootable? Am I screwed?

Try using this to get back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Never used aio toolbox but i never heard download mode needing usb debugging mode enabled to flash.

How long is the file analysis step supposed to take? I've been stuck at it for 10-15 minutes.

It's not working then. I don't remember off hand, but I think less than 10 seconds.

Should I try a master clear first?

I've been sitting on Master Clear starting for 5 minutes. Is this supposed to take so long?

Odin One-Click for JH6 not working
I was having issues getting Odin One-Click to work after flashing a GPS fix that wasn't compatible with my kernel that left me with a non-booting phone. Odin was hanging at Analyzing Files and not going any farther. I eventually got my phone to boot by doing a nandroid restore and wiping data, but wanted to go back to stock to make sure that nothing was still messed up.
Unfortunately, now I'm stuck at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET. I've been here for over 20 minutes. I already got impatient and killed the process once, leaving me with the dreaded phone+!+computer. Watching the MobileTechVideos vid on using Odin One-Click makes this look like it should happen quickly, but that isn't happening in my case. Any ideas?

Ok, I'm an idiot. Ends up you need your SIM card in the phone for ODIN to work. Back to stock now and very relieved. My phone works again!

i'm actually having a similar problem to frohman. odin shows this:
<ID:0/014> Added!!

and gets no further. i tried it with and without sim with no changes. any idears?

Why does this phone give me so many problems!

First the phone wouldnt read the sd card, and now when I rebooted into recovery (holding both volumes down then pressing power) I tried to restore it. Went to backup and restore, then restored it. now its stuck on the sidekick screen. All it does is once you turn it on, the black screen that says t mobile sidekick 4g samsung stays there. It wont boot up past it. Even holding down the volumes then pressing power it still gets stuck there. Anyone know what do do?? Ive killed the battery, ive let it sit there for a day and the screen never changed.

Pull the battery, or ODIN
RTFM
With Bali I haven't had a single FC, and its at least 25% faster. Battery life is noticeably longer as well.

Odin it back to stock. Follow the instructions in this thread very carefully. I noticed after first flashing Smooth Maximus bootup was kind of long, but it still booted. Good luck.

Kinda lost?? I have pulled the battery, its the only way to shut off the screen. And what's odin??

Edit: nvm its the name of the ROM lol. I'm about to try that now. Thanks, ill get back to you guys. If it works hopefully the SD card slot works again.

No, Odin is not a ROM. Odin is a leaked Samsung program that is used to flash Samsung phones. AFAIK Odin is the only way to fix a softbricked (like yours) phone.
If you follow the instructions in the thread I linked carefully you should be back to factory stock in no time.

Now I see that lol. The one thing im worried about is in the steps it says, 3. Boot in to download mode using Trackpad+Vol down then power. When I do this it still stays at the black screen that intros the phone to you. is this normol? If not does that matter and will it still work??

The trackpad+voldwn+power does not work for me. To get to download mode what I do is:
1. open Odin and load the files into the appropriate slots
2. remove the battery from the SK4G
3. connect the SK4G to your PC with the USB cable
4. hold Volume Down + Trackpad while putting the battery in
5. voila, download mode. It may take a few tries.
download mode should show a big yellow triangle with the android alien
Odin also will not recognize your device unless you are in download mode
6. click Start and your phone should be back to stock in a few minutes

Going to try now. Do I check off the file box next to PDA?

Click the PDA button
It should open a windows explorer window
Navigate to where you downloaded KD1SK4GOdin.tar(remove .md5 by renaming it)
It should automatically check off the box next to PDA for you
Near the top only Auto-reboot should be checked

Its running through ODIN as we....uh type lol. I made sure to hit the thanks

UPDATE: I got a big red FAIL

Okay, still fixable.
What does the message box in Odin say?
E: you can try again, but this time click the PIT button, navigate to sk4g.pit
have auto-reboot and repartition checked
flash

E: nvm

Ok ill try that now. Btw does it matter if the sim card and sd crd arre in, should I take them out?

Take them out just in case
It's a mystery how these things work, I wish they'd release documentation lol
E: if that still fails then there is nothing i can do for you now; just wait until ayoteddy comes online and he can probably help you

HOLY SH!T IT WORKED!!!! Buuuuuut still no SD card fix :/ But at least the phone can now be used.

Cool. Are you sure the SD card problem is the phone's fault? It may be a corrupt card. Worst case, you can now have T-Mo replace it for you if the SD slot really doesn't work

Im sure its the phone. Ive used about 10 different kind and size cards and none will work. And when the phone is in recovery and i try to reformat the card or anything, it always says cant find SD c ard ext. And I have Sprint lol, I have an EVO, I got the sidekick for hahas (craigslist is awesome lol) so not to sure if I can bring it to t mobile

May have killed wife's phone, please help!

Hey all,
I've been flashing ROMs since the old Windows Mobile days and recently have run into a problem that has me stumped and I haven't been able to fix it. I beg you experts for help, I'm not sure what else to do.
My wife had some complaints that her Infuse was acting slow so I thought a new flash of something might help. I attempted to flash CatyRom but was stuck at the rainbow loading animation for over an hour. At this point I was getting nervous so I figured I would go back to stock. I used the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 for Heimdall One-Click Back to Stock. After doing that the phone just froze on the Samsun logo and after retrying it twice and restarting I was making no progress. I've tried some other back to stock threads and the latest was I loaded the ultimate unbrick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367099 and now the phone is stuck in a red Clockwork Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix. When I try rebooting it sits at the Samsung logo, when I try to flash the one thing on the phone(CatyRom) it says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11(file exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11(file exists)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl9(file exists)
Error mounting SYSTEM:!
At this point I'm not sure what else to do/try. I can get into this version of Clockwork which I suppose is kind of good, but all that's on the phone is CatyRom and that won't install. If anyone can help I'd truly appreciate it.

Try flashing the community gingerbread kernel with Odin to reset your recovery and do a complete wipe and fix permissions...that happened to me once and that fixed it for me....after that you should be able to flash caty

For some unknown reason Odin isn't seeing the phone. Heimdall detects it in Download Mode fine, but it never shows up in Odin.
Also, when I tried one of the GTG back to stock Heimdall repackages everything goes fine and then at the end when it says Ending session.. it then says:
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet! Heimdall crashed!
The phone just sits in download mode, if I pull the battery and restart it's like nothing was done.

I'm not too experienced on hemidal but I believe there is a way to flash that same kernel I mentioned thru hemidal...but I don't use it so I would ask Dani897 he knows hemidal very well...hope that helps..

Hemidall & Odin use different drivers. After using Hemidall, you have to reinstall the samsung usb drivers again for Odin to see your phone.

What he said. Uninstall the driver in device manager. For me, it shows up under a main section called libusb.
Did you use the straight up repackage link or the one with the community v8 kernel in it? Since you have red CWM recovery, it would seem that you either used the community v8 which has voodoo lagfix enabled by default or you had a bad flash with the straight up repackage. I think I have a heimdall package that has all the gtg unbrick files in it. I'll post it up here if I find it.
EDIT: I threw a heimdall package together based on gtg's unbrick and just flashed it to my phone as a test. Yes, it worked just fine.
heimdall package back to uckd5 stock using gtg's unbrick files - http://www.multiupload.com/QL5BCRG1CI

the exact same thing happened to me... try different usb ports ..try different usb cables.. i didnt believe my usb cable was bad....it was. i used gtgs unbrick once i got odin to see the phone!!! im back to normal!!

Thanks for the help guys, I got the phone visible in Odin after reinstalling new drivers but it just sits there at:

I've been looking at "Get PIT for mapping.." for over an hour now, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've tried 2 different back to stock options through Odin and they both say the same thing.
Also, I'm not sure what my battery level is or if it will even charge, since trying Odin I haven't been able to get back into recovery, just download mode. Any suggestions?

Try a fresh download of the file your flashing in Odin and restart Odin before hand

Yes, that was the one I was attempting to use, but I've tried one or two others since then. I've also tried redownloading afew of them. I was excited when I got Odin to see the phone, but it hasn't done anything yet.
So far with all of them it will freeze at a certain step, either "Get PIT for mapping..." or "ID:0/003> Firmware update start..<ID:0/003> factoryfs.rfs" and it will never continue. I know this things can take some time, but I've given them almost an hour each.
I'm also concerned that the battery may be running low, is there any way to charge it when I can only get into download mode? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Try this: Download mode using Odin. Uncheck the reboot box. Flash Enthroy's kernel dated 11/02.
If it flashes, boot into recovery, it should be Red. Scroll down and disable Voodoo lagfix or enable it if it's disabled.
Rebooting should put you in a loop after the kernel fixes the partitions. Good.
If you disabled lagfix, boot to download mode and use the latest stock GB leak or Ultimate Unbrick.
If you enabled it, boot to recovery, but this time disable it. Rebooting should put you in a loop after the kernel fixes the partitions. Good. Boot to download mode and use the latest stock GB leak or Ultimate Unbrick.
The loop should only occur if the rom is messed up.
Booting after flashing shouldn't take more the 5-10 minutes. At least from what I've seen on my phone.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot, but I'm not finding anything called Enthroy's kernal, I've tried searching for it but no luck, I may be missing it.

Go into the infuse super thread and look under kernels for the download. If nothung works, contact me because my phone (im sending it from) was rezurected with mobile videos jtag repair. Turns out my phone wont connect to computers even with a new usb slot installed. Anyway its forty bucks but its well worth it . If you still have warranty go ahead and use that up if you do not care about the info on your phone.

dude..try a different usb!!!!!! i kept getting the same errors.. it would get 1/4 way throught the process and get stuck... i used my sons usb cable from his HTC inspire and it worked perfectly!!!! USB CABLE !!! TRY IT!!!
i used gtgs very carefully ..step by step !!!
once i did it with a new usb, it downloaded in 3 minutes!!!!
good luck!!!!
oh and happy new year everyone!!!

did you get it working?? just curious

Hey guys, unfortunately I've been out of town and just got back yesterday to continue work on the phone. I've actually had quite abit of success. I decided to try GTG one more time just to see, this time I used both a different USB cable and USB port and it worked! The flash completed without any problems and the phone booted up like stock in just afew minutes.
I am having one slight issue though. Everything was working fine after the reflash but my wife noticed today that her data stopped working. She's not able to connect to either her 4g/3g connection or WiFi. When she tries to go to any websites it says "Web page not available." in the browser. Her phone service is fine, but data both on and off WiFi give that message. I've tried turning on Airplane mode, restoring default APN settings, and restarting the phone afew times.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is a factory restore, I'd like to avoid it since she just set everything back up but I'll probably have to do one and hope the problem doesn't come back.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

That's the first thing I do after I Odin back to stock. Do a hard reset to erase what ever was left behind, or else you will keep having problems. GL
