im odining kg4 for a video, but the modem bin. is taking too long, so should i wait?
Pull out your battery and unplug the usb cable, put the battery back in and put your phone in download mode again
usually odin shouldnt take long..less than 3 minutes mostly..

If your using Odin you need to be in download mode not recovery. Put the phone in DL mode and try again.

Odin to kc1. make sure you follow the noobs guide to odin. Both are in the bible. Kc1 under odin roms and guides, well, under guides. Lol! Let the rom load for 10 min. Then Redo cwm orange from krylon's final cwm thread. And try flashing again. What rom are you trying to flash?

Thanks for the info we should make a guide because kc1 is the only Rom that fixes it, went through about 5 Rome XD I'm about to go HAM its up and running finally
XDA BABY!

if you use odin and it fails just try again a couple more times if it doesnt work unplug phone and take out battery put back in and hold volume down and power for about 5 to 6 seconds u should be in download mode wether or not you see the triangle...to see if ur in download mode open odin and plug in phone, odin again and this time it should work ( ive done this numerous times and it worked)
Imei fix (p)
GUESS WHAT!!! I want everyone to try this out with a F*ed up IMEI.
I tripped over my laptop while on odin when it said please wait in the beginning.
I then plugged in my phone and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on.
Like an idiot I odined it anyways booted up and my f*ing IMEI was gone.
I odined back and forth every damn rom I could think of and nothing solved the issue. Looked into hex editor and that sh*t was too confusing.
So I went to odin again and pulled it out at the please wait in the beginning.
Pulled battery restarted computer and the phone and computer with a triangle in the middle came on again.
I just odined it like that and VIOLA B*thes YAY! back online I was soo scared too right after fixing it.
Well this is just something to try out for everyone who ****ed up their imei
P.S. Back up your EFS PRONTO!
Ok I followed this post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122508
Ok im in CwM Voodoo Lagfix Rev v3.0.2.8x
My mounts are correct
I go to Install from zip
Then Choose zip from sd card
Then I chose my rom
I get this error E:Cant mount /SDcard/Bionix_Frost_SGS4G.zip
Installatioin aborted.
I get this with anyone I try what am I missing here?
You sort of ran into the same problem as the guy in this thread yesterday.
To sum up that thread for you:
1. Download a Gingerbread rom. Here are sone samples:
Octane
Valhalla Final
KJ6 AOSP Style
2. Use the Gingerbread Starter Pack guide to flash it without any problems.

Yes been trying that Im here it says all threads complete but phone doesnt reboot to pull battery its just on the downloading screen still
4) Load up Odin, and load the KC1 files, DON'T TOUCH ANY OTHER OPTIONS, leave them like they are even if Odin changes them!
- 4a) PIT: Sgs4g.pit
- 4b) PDA: pda.tar.md5
5) Flash and let the phone reboot. Once you see the T-Mo startup screen (the pink one), OR the CWM (red text) screen do a battery pull.
Try pulling the battery after Odin is done and see if it boots up.
Edit: oh and unplug it from the PC when its booting up

What version of ODIN are you using? Also, when usong ODIN make sure you don't mess with any of the checkboxes - just let ODIN decide what to check.
I'm not sure about the CWM error as I've not experienced that problem.

Hmm, if you've tried every usb port on your computer, try a different computer.
Maybe you got some funky usb host device on your computer that the phone just doesn't like.
I have tried I have a Windows 7 and an XP I get the same.I just picked up a new cable to see if that works and still the same.
so i was trying to flash kg4 kernel with odin and it got stuck and my phone powered off. When try to enter recovery or download mode i get this message "firmware upgrade fail! try using recover". any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

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

i was following the steps from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215748. I was on stock 2.2.1 and i was trying to flash cm hybrid gb. i was also using odin.
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?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
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.
hey everyone i was trying to install tweak stock and did the install with the 1/30 pbj kernel. i also fixed permissions with recovery. it would stay on the boot animation and now idid a battery pull and it wont turn on and when i tried to odin recovery it said failed. any ideas?
You can still get into Download mode, right?

Cool, you should be good then and you're only soft bricked. Once you finish downloading the stock ROM go into Odin and put the phone into download mode. Put your battery back in like JihadSquad suggested, as he is correct, and remove your sd card. Also, download the charge .pit file. Put the stock ROM file in PDA and the charge.pit in pit. Check Re-Partition and uncheck F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot and you're ready to flash. You should be good to go from there. If you have any more questions go to the Imnuts thread in Development How to Fix your phone.
