Hi
I may have bricked my phone.
So I did what everyone did this morning and flashed ep1q via cwm.
I got the boot loop.
Then I tried via odin.
Odin gets stuck at Initialization.. I waited for 30 mins before yanking and trying again.
I have now tried just to get a working phone using PIT file and stock roms.
When I turn on the phone I do not get the samsung splash screen. I get a computer and phone icon with a line connecting them.
Anyone have a suggestion?

mods please move to general...
now did you get it to work with a stock rom?
get your file from another source.
if you are on a desktop try putting the usb in the back of your tower.
make sure you have the correct drivers installed
maybe try a diff usb cable?
just a few ideas. hope it helps

No clarification needed. We have all seen that screen. It means your recovery is broke, you need to ODIN a stock image and start over. Check out the thread entitled "How to Fix Your Phone"
Can someone please help me?
Every time I try to flash a ROM using ODIN, it gets stuck on the movinand.bin.
My phone also says, "RX_TIMEOUT" in red.
I can't get past this. I'm stuck. Can someone please give me some assistance.
Make sure you put the battery back in after you get it in download mode. And use the stock ee4 and the pit file when you flash.

I've done both. I use a PIT file, and a stock EE4 to return the phone back to factory state.
Everything seems to load up fine, then gets stuck on factoryfs.rfs.
Phone again shows RX_TIMEOUT.
Is it possible that it has something to do with running it in bootcamp on a macbook?

So, My captivate is being very stubborn. I put it in download mode after loading ODIN and now it won't flash anything, no progress bar or anything, it just doesn't pass "File Analysis"
Restarted my computer and tried multiple USB ports, all help is welcome

Just started today, I just started using 1.7 after this issue but still no luck.
I have had odin get stuck on factory rfs, someone had it get stuck on sbl .bin earlier. Pull battery let it sit for a while, try again.
Trying another computer if at all possible may be a good idea

That actually worked, except I first tried plugging the phone into another computer while it was in download mode without using ODIN, then I let it sit with the battery out, so I think that did the trick. Thank you ^_^
Please help me. My Infuse 4G doesn't boot. All I see was light on the button. This what happened. I want to go back to stock and use [ODIN][UCKE3] Return to stock (Updated 06/08/11) by gtg465x . I right click on Odin and run as Admin. Odin see my phone on a download mode. I select infuse.pit on PIT, PDA in Pda, and Phone in Phone. then click Start. It got stuck at factory.fs (don't remember the name actual name). It stuck there for so long, maybe like an hour. Then I decide to unplug and pull battery out. close the Odin and redo the step again. This time the status bar went half way and then got stuck again. I left it overnight just to see if it's actually finish and it never did. Just stuck there. Turn the phone on and i only see light on the button. Is my phone dead? I can still able to get to download mode but the phone won't boot.
I done return to stock so many times and was successful. This was the first encounter I had where Odin stuck and never complete it flashing.
Try things like reinstalling the drivers, another pc, another usb cable etc.
Thanks. Will try that and also i will try this [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) since on FAQ #4 seem to be in my case. But if members had other recommendation, please post. thx in advance

Getting stuck on the factory.fs is pretty common here. You might try charging for a bit to see if you can get it to show signs of life. And that link up there^^^(UCKD5 Stock+Root+3e) has worked for me when gtg's didn't. Read the instructions for it carefully as you don't have to check as many boxes. You only need to load the file into the PDA slot. Also if you didn't have the drivers installed your phone wouldn't show up, so that's not your problem (although you could try re-installing them for **** and giggles)...
If THAT doesn't work try Adam's Heimdall one click HERE
If all else fails try a different PC. I had to and it worked like a charm.
Good Luck

Some times just trying a different USB port on the same computer will help to. Not sure why but on my laptop the USB port on the right my Captivate did not like for flashing but the one on the left side always worked right.
Thank you all for helping me out. My infuse is now back in business. I use [ODIN][UCKD5] Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e) - (Update 06/05/11) but this one got my phone to always boot in recovery mode no matter what i did. So i decide to try Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install [2.3.6] (FOR AT&T USERS) and then flash LinuxBozo's Defuse 1.5 kernel. Successfully flash it . However after using Heimdall One-Click, ODIN did not see my phone when it's in download mode. Besides that, everything went well.

Give us more info. What are you flashing from (FROYO or GB)? Why KG4 kernel? Are you trying to change your modem?
This.. charge your phone to full then try and enter dl mode if its not letting you in you may need a USB jig if your on a Samsung device. I'm only assuming because Odin usually uses Samsung stuff from my experience.. otherwise need a lot more info

Will your ROM load?
i loaded the md5 on pda then i started it but it got stuck and my phone powered off, that's it.
So you have a galaxy s4g? Can you get into recovery with a full battery?

yup i have a gs4g but when i try to enter recovery the same message appears firmware upgrade fail
Will you ROM load?
nope it won't load
Even though you can't get into recovery... plug your phone in and see if ODIN recognizes it.
You should try starting ODIN again obviously with your phone plugged in. See what happens.

If you are able to get Odin to recognize your phone, i would redo the whole thing again, maybe it was just a bad flash.
If it happens again, try re-downloading the kernel, and redoing it again.
What step were you on in the guide? IF you flashing the kernel should be step 11. Sounds like your phone ran out of battery. If you plug it into the wall charger does it charge?
i was in step 11 and my phone was 80% charged before i entered download mode. When I plug in charger the same screen pops up and odin doesn't recognize it now.
are you entering DL by the battery pull method? Odin should see it that way. I've had to try a lot of times in the past to get odin to recognize the phone but it always does.
yup the battery pull method, i've tried like 6 times but no luck
plug into a different usb port on the computer. close odin reopen it and try six more times.

Plug your phone in and restart ODIN. Try it. Make sure all your settings are correct.
wow it actually recognizes my phone now lol. So what do I do now?

restart ODIN. Reread the thread you were using and check and double check the settings.
If you can boot your ROM. And still on stock. Use this thread.
I was running stock 2.3.6 and attempted to root it using Odin. During the process, it was stuck on cache.rfs for a long time...I took the battery out and turned on the infuse again. This time it said I needed to do recovery mode. Kies woulnd't recognize the device. So I went back into download mode and tried GTG Ultimate Unbrick. This isn't working because it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs. It's currently there now, and its been here for at least 15min. I've tried closing Odin, retrying, removing battery and SD and trying but nothing is working! I'm not sure what to do. :/

If you can still get into download mode, you aren't hard bricked. That's a good thing
As for recovering your device. This has happened to me multiple times. There are about a million different things I've tried. 1. Simply use a different USB port, 2. Try a different cable it it's available, 3. Use a different version of ODIN, 4. Try using the heimdal method, 5. Completely uninstall the drivers for the phone and then reinstall them.
Try all of these, not necessarily in that order. I tried last time and it turned out all I needed to do was switch computers for god knows what reason. Good luck!
I'm trying Heimdall right now. Will let you know how it goes..
So as I click flash, it starts...but then it says drivers not found so I click their "Reinstall Drivers" and then after 5min, the installation fails.
I got past the driver error. Now what it tell me is:
Uploading KERNAL
0%
>Then it says
KERNAL upload failed
Ending session...
I have managed to successfully run the Heimdall. But now it turns on and goes into recovery everytime. I wiped data and cache. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE?
I have had a similar experience. My flash would freeze at random points and never complete. This was using my laptop with windows 7. Tried a different computer (same brand, same OS,same USB cable) and it worked fine. This was the case for SOC and ODIN.

Yes...and do a factory reset....
Alright, first off, PLEASE DON'T MURDER ME. I've been researching for hours and can't come up with a fix. My buddy was doing something stupid to his Droid Charge and soft bricked it. I'm a webOS guy, so I don't know much about rooting on android, and I don't belong here, but I'm usually pretty good at fixing stuff. Not this. I don't know what he did.
With the battery in, you can't do anything. With it out and plugged in to the pc, you can push vol down to get to downloading mode. I tried some java program OneClick, didn't work. I tried Odin, that was confusing as heck. Under PDA I got the charge's tar, but it wouldn't go past initializing.
Anyone willing to step by step troubleshoot with me? He's paying me to fix it, I can split it via paypal? (Am I allowed to say that?) Just feel bad, he's going on vacation tomorrow. Fail.
OK first download this: http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/cha...L_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL706183_ship.tar.md5
Open ODIN, plug in phone with download mode. Once phone is in download mode, put in the battery. Click PDA and put that .md5 file in. Make sure that bootloader, phone, and csc are unchecked.
Check Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. Everything else (besides PDA) should be unchecked. Hit start, and it should finish in like 5 minutes and boot up by itself. There will be two OTA updates he will have to get.
Also make sure to put the battery back in before flashing.

I also am having issues with my droid charge being (was) soft bricked. Now it might be hard bricked. I installed the pit and is was successful, at least odin told me it was. However now my phone will not do anything. I cannot get the screen to so much as flash a glimmer of light. Hold up and plug into computer....nothing. Just try to power on...nothing. Try to go into cwm, nothing.
I am not sure what I did to start all my problems as I have flahsed ROMs with ODIN multiple times with no issue. Yesterday though it just did not take for some reason and not only that nothing would take. After failing to flash multiple ROMs that I have used many times before, I tried the "Packaged Rom that includes custom Kernel,ROM,CWM" mentioned here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580 This worked, sort of.
This would get me into CWM but would be stuck on a boot loop back to CWM no matter what i tried. Custom .zip roms, stock .zip roms, etc.
SO thats when I tried the pit mentioned in this thread......now the phone is 100% unresponsive.
Can anyone please tell me if this can be recovered? And also can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong?
