I've seen a few others with this problem with no resolution.
First off... My drivers work, I can move files back and forth, and odin and pst both recognize the phone. I have tried multiple computers, and multiple usb ports, and multiple cables, 'F reset time' & 'Auto Reboot' checked and unchecked, battery in and battery out, SIM in and SIM out, even had Verizon replace the SIM. I have tried multiple ROMS (stock and custom, rooted and unrooted) and all exhibit the same behavior... and yes I am in download mode. I've factory reset both ways (recovery mode, and privacy settings), and tried to clear the cache in recovery mode to see if that helped.
When flashing a ROM everything goes fine until it gets to cp_modem.bin and then odin/pst hangs for a minute and then fails. I have tried to just flash the radio and i get the same failure. Other bins in ROMs flash fine.
Any ideas on how to fix???

What Odin are you using to flash?
Why are you trying to flash a new radio? Where did you get the radio?
Have you tried downloading a new radio?
Have you tried a different phone.
You said you have new sim, different roms. All of which are of no importance, because your Radio does not have anything to do with these 2.
I've tried both Odin 1.85 and 1.3.
I started out trying to flash a new ROM, however, all the ROMS fail in the same place (while flashing cp_modem.bin). That's why i tried to just flash the radio. I got the radio from the XDA thread post for people who flashed to gingerbread but wanted to use the EE4 radio. I do not have another phone to try. The SIM was a red herring... and I agree it has no bearing on the problem, which is that I am unable to flash a radio to the phone as part of ROM or by itself.
How do I know other parts of the full ROM flashes are successful? Because after the failure I can boot the phone (obviously it wont connect to the cell network though without a valid radio though).
try using Odin3 v1.7. See if that is any different. trying to narrow down the errors here.
same result... It's definitely the phone, because if I flash stock ED2 (which fails on cp_modem.bin) then boot the phone, and take the EE4 update from verizon, it also fails. Not sure what on the phone could be causing this... There ought to be a way to just blast EVERYTHING off the phone and start from scratch with a fresh file system. It's like the thing needs to be reformatted.
After you put the phone in download mode, re-insert the battery, before flashing. See if that helps.
tried that (1st post)
This may seem silly, but have you tried to flash again without restarting the phone after you get the error?

Now THAT is interesting. Like the guy above me said, sometimes just running Odin again fixes it, however, if the OTA update fails too, the only thing that makes sense is a hardware failure.
Wait, how can you attempt to take the OTA without a radio installed?!

Have you tried flashing with Samsung PST lite? It is much more reliable than Odin.

From the previous replies...
I'm taking the update from verizon over wifi.
I have tried PST lite and get the same result.
I really don't think this is Odin/PST/USB/ROM/Battery etc.. problem. I think the phone is in a state that is preventing the modem from being flashed. either a hardware failure occurred, or the first flash which failed left the phone in a FUBAR state.
Unless there is a way to completely wipe/format the phone (or at least the area where the modem gets flashed) I think the phone is toast. Does such a process exist?
I know when flashing the Samsung Galaxy tab you do the Odin repartition feature. This clears everything and pretty much starts you over. I had to use this to flash my TMO Galaxy Tab using the European build so it could be rooted.
Not saying try it, but as far as wiping completely, take out your sdcard and try and Odin using the repartition feature.
Check out IMNUTS "HOW TO FIX YOUR PHONE" Post. Hopefully this will get you fixed.
tried re-partitioning to no avail. Verizon is replacing the phone, however I was hoping I could figure out what caused the phone to end up in this state in the first place to avoid it in the future!
Thanks to those that had suggestions. Hopefully, someone will figure it out in the future.
I think my infuse finally died completely. For the past couple days I was getting SOD every 2 or 3 hours. Finally I decided to do the back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021. I follow all of the instructions, but the program stopped working. Then I decided to try again, but this time only pixels came up. I removed the battery and tried again and all I'm getting is a white screen with pixels. Recovery mode does not work, nor does download mode. The phone also starts overheating if I plug it into a charger. Is there anything I can do?
Update: After trying to blindly navigate download mode and 20 tries of odin, it finally succeeded

I had the same thing happen to me last night when flashing the Entropy Kernel GB BL and all that jazz wtih odin. I unplugged cable after it froze up pulled battery attempted to return to dl mode but it went to the firmware update failed try kies recovery or whateves then I just tried odin again and it worked like a charm. I don't know what the deal was but froze up at factoryfs.rfs place and everything. So might just try that if this hasn't been resolved.
When its running rfs you should se a blue progress bar it takes about 5-8 mins to finish in my experience how long are you giving it

This should work!
1. Download Blue CWM recovery on ur pc. http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
2. Use odin and flash blue recovery (PDA)
3. May reboot into recovery or ull need todo 3 putton
4. Wipe/factory reset
5. Flash gingerbread rom on
6.go to advance>reboot recovery
7. Reflash that gingerbread rom on
8. Reboot!!
I'm trying to get my wife's Infuse from stock UCLB3 (no root, not CWM) to CM10. The first step I tried to take was to root the phone so I could install TiBu and back up everything.
I tried flashing a custom kernel (Entropy's DD) that included CWM. Odin saw the phone, I clicked PDA and located the tar.md5 file as the instructions said to do. Clicked Start... got this:

And it's been sitting there about 20 minutes now. Nothing else happening with Odin. My HD activity light is flashing, so something is happening, but, I thought it should be rather quick.
Has Odin actually done anything on the phone? Is it bricked at this point??
EDIT 1: Gave up, yanked the cable and Odin showed "Failed." Power cycled the phone and got the "uh-oh" Download Mode screen (phone-!-pc). Reconnected to PC, Odin saw it, clicked Start again and the process went all the way through and rebooted the phone. Now I'm looking at the Samsung logo and the female computer voice just told me I had about 2 minutes remaining.
EDIT 2: Phone rebooted. Have red recovery now. All is well. SuperUser installed. Installing TiBu right now.
Sounds like you're on your way. Just make sure that you flash an ICS rom before flashing a JB rom.
But to answer your question, it should only take 10 secs or so to flash a kernel.

Kies failed installation
Hello,
Thank you for your help with this.
I was trying to free up some space on my wifes Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500 but for some reason Kies 2.2 did not detect pics and vids and asked me to install a firmware update which may resolve this, which I attempted to do somewhat unsuccessfully. I sourced the firmware it recommended and began the installation which it gave an error for and then left her phone somewhat bricked I think.
That's when I started checking the forums because I've updated a few Android phones to new OS's using a variety of aps, I came across this xda-developers blog about how to use odin v.1.85 to correctly install the pda software.
I began the process and then ran into a problem which is instead of flying through the steps it hung at the setup connection stage. I waited over an hour on the second attempt to see if it would continue but no joy, I did keep checking the processes in task manager to see if the software was still responding okay and it seemed fine I checked the communications through com port an there was data being written to the handset aswell.
When I disconnect the phone it does not go in to download screen for what was timed as 40 mins, I am also not sure why this is.
After more reading and research on the concern I found Odin v4.28 worked with Europa_I5500_v1.0.ops which I have somewhat adjusted using a development package but there are other ops files available for many of the handsets on market. This software installed the firmware I downloaded GT-I5500 H3G. I realize the difference in the s/w where one does not support ops files
Its 12:30 now and it is all done phone working okay. No thanks to Kies which caused a me a lot of grief this evening and a wasted night.
Thank you for all your help, if it wasn't for people like you I would still be trying to fix the handset so many thanks.
Hi you all guys, few days ago i purshaced an skyrocket sgh i727 and it was working perfect, then when i was using the
internet browser my phone ramdomly turn off, i just powered on but it never boot up so i decide to boot it up on clockwork
mode and restore to factory data after that the phone did no boot anymore neither in clockwork mode, when i try to power it
on it shows the samsung splash but stuck there, the phone can be put on download mode which is a good signal however when i
try to install a stock rom from odin this does no start, it keep saying initializing step, i though my battery was
discharged and i tried the battery in a friend's phone but the battery was full charged, so i discarded that was a battery
issue, i installed the lastest kies driver, i got differents odin version, downloaded few times differents stock rom version and re tried to intalled; but odin keep sticking on initializing step, tried differents batteries (full charged), differents usb cables, differents computers, but its seems the phone is completely bricked i tried almost everything also i found that kies can make an emergency restore but when i try to do it, kies request me the error code to proceed, but i dont have such code since my phone never give me an error on installing, it just doest start the restore with odin, when i plug my phone its recognized from odin and shows as added, can you suggest me something? im tired of trying all what i described above and the phone does no have warranty since i purshaced it on ebay and the seller doesnt no accepted to be responsible since the phone worked when he sold it, i cant find any place to purshace a main board but before to purshace one i think there will be posibility to fix it since its still easy to power it on download mode without the JTAG, i cant get it on clockwork mode anymore http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gif
First off, I can't really make complete heads or tails of your problem. Please use sentences and paragraphs.
Second, is Odin recognizing your phone when you plug it in? Read the ODIN sticky.
Third, how long is your phone "stuck" on the Sammy splash for? You're definitely booting into CWM recovery and not factory recovery, right?
Honestly, if your phone turns on, it's not hard-bricked and it can be saved. There are lots of stickies here that walk you through how to root/unroot, restore to stock, use ODIN, etc. Read through those and that'll give you your best shot at finding an answer.
response
Hi im sorry if i writed it with sentences and paragraphs, well actually odin does recognized the phone and shows as added, but when i start the restore the phone keep in download mode and odin just stuck in the step that says initializing.
I used another battery, another usb cable and other computer but odin keep sticking in that step.
I tried downloading differents odin versions and differents stock rom version from differents sites but i can see its not a corrupt download.
the phone had CWM but in the time i made a factory reset from the CWM the phone did no boot anymore on CWM neither the OS because it stuck on the Samsung splash, this splash stuck permanently maybe hours if i dont remove the battery.
I think im booting on CWM im not sure because (it does no appear the menu to install zips make factory reset, clear cache partition etc)
Kies recognize my phone also but unable me to make an emergency restore until i put the error code in the box that pop up (i dont have such error code since my phone does no give me any error the process just doesnt start)
i tried killing kies in the task manager because i read sometimes kies intefere with oding while restoring, i can make put the phone in download mode as i said but im not able to make the restore because ODIN Stuck on INITIALIZING MODE.
I read some forums and post before i post but i havent found nobody with the same issue i just found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240333 but this didnt work for me

In fairness, at least you're not out flashing ROMs and saying this.
How are you trying to boot into recovery? Are you holding both volume buttons and the power button down, and keeping them down until the Sammy splash comes up? Or are you just using the power button? If you're just pressing power, you're trying to boot a phone that has no ROM, and you'll have the same result every time.
Second, are you positive you're using the right version of Odin? v1.85?
Third, when you plug your phone into the computer and Odin, does the screen look like the screenshot in the OP of this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659
I'll be really honest, this screams of user error, and that's really the only explanation I can think of--especially because the phone can apparently still be forced into download mode. Maybe someone more experienced has seen this happen before and can help more than I can, but from the panicked style of posting and your asking questions about whether it's booting into recovery or not, I have to assume that it's user error. We just have to figure out what that error was.
thanks for your answer to my post i apreciate you all your time, well actually i use the both odin version the Odin v1.85 and the odin v3.04 also the odin rom installer (i mean the odin package that you just need to plug the phone and then press start to update it) yes i hold the both volume button + the power button and i release it when the samsung splash comes up but now it does no give me the CWM since i used it to factory reset the phone and i think neither the factory recovery menu, however i can hold the volume down + plug the phone and then start it on download mode by presing the volume up button.
When i turn the phone in download mode, the phone appear in my odin as added like in the screenshot you sent me, then i select in the pda checkbox, then i choose the stock rom from my desktop, i leave the other checkbox selected like when oddin start ( i mean selected the options on auto reboot and F. Reset Time) then i press start, odin verify the rom and when it follow to the next step, odin stuck on initializing procees but my phone stays on download mode and do not pop any error neither the odin, as i said i dont think is a corrupt rom because i downloaded different isc version isc 4.04 and isc 4.03 also android froyo 2.3.5 but nothing works also i used different computers and usb cables and tried with a friend battery full charged maybe i dont have the OS in my phone as you say but my question is how to reinstall it if oddin doesnt seems to work on my phone also i have a galaxy s3 and i installed the jelly bean without a problem in the same computer with the same odin and cable usb

Hmm... Well I occasionally have your initial problem, where my phone randomly turns off. Here, it doesnt boot right away, but I have to remove all power sources (battery, cable), put the battery back in, then it turns on fine, no questions asked.
What ROM were you using at the time? My phone started doing this after I installed the Liquid Beta 2Jellybean Rom. If you were using that at the time, it may have just been a ROM issue. Hope I helped...

PIT – the PIT file refers as ‘Partition Information Table’. This is only useful for fixing bricked devices if somehow something changed with the partition table layout of the phone’s system memory.

do you all guys have any idea what is going wrong? i tried to turn in restore mode following this steps
ENTERING IN TO RECOVERY MODE IS THE SAME METHOD FOR BOTH STOCK AND A CUSTOM RECOVERY (CWM)
Now turn off your phone, unplugged(might work plugged in)
Press and keep both volume keys down
Then press the power button while still holding down the volume keys
When you feel the phone vibrate or see a logo on the screen, release the power button but not the volume keys.
When screen goes black release the volume keys.
Wait a few seconds to boot in to recovery
You are now in recovery mode
But when i release the power but and keep holding the volume button my screen keep stuck in the samsung splash even when i release the volume butto + the power button after the splash comes up
I appreciate your time and im sorry if i dont write in paragraph senteces etc i just tried to explain my issue as it was posible for me thanks
i think your problem was this "odin v3.04 also the odin rom installer", never heard of the odin rom installer used for our phones, you could of fracked up the partitions, but i dont know the fix for that, if there is even a way to fix it
edit: nvm, i read that it was a prob b4 you tried that, then its a bad nand, there might be a way to push a recovery back onto the phone using adb, just cant find the post on how
here it is, it will get you started, you need to learn how to use adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31172875&postcount=19
Can you explain me what does NAND mean please, well when i mean odin installer i mean a comprimed package of odin that comes with the rom but you dont need to download the rom separately because this package include exerything its the same like the other odin but instead of use the PDA box you just plug the phone and once is added, you just press start and this does everything, the only thing that looks weird for me is that the phone can be put on download mode without any problem, and you said that if the phone can be put in download mode without j tag this mean its not breaked, do you have any information about if if i can make a re partition in my phone and resolve the PIT issue that odin says?

The thing you are taking about is an Odin one click.

Yes, this is absolutely what im trying to say but i didnt know how to say it, tried to flash a leaked 4.04 isc, that previously worked perfect for 3 skyrockets i had and i updated them without a problem, the matter was i never meant to update this phone but i had to try it due in that moment the phone ramdomly turned off and it did no allow me to boot up my OS, so i got into CWM and press factory reset and then i reset the phone but it never boot up back it just keep sticking in the samsung splash, then i tried to go back to the CWM again but now i couldnt do it again, so i tried to install the rom leaked 4.0.4 with odin one click but it never passed, just stuck in the intializing step, then i tried to use the odin 1.85 and downloading an stock rom and putting in the box PDA, but also kept in sticking in the Intializing step never transfered anything to my phone my phone was always in download mode and never gave me an error, i did tried the odin 3.04 that i used to flash the rom in my galaxy s3 i9300 but also kept with the same issue, im not sure if it hard bricked because i can get into the download mode easily, but im unable to get in the recovery mode following the right steps, im thinking is a PIT issue here i found this threat for another model

this guy explain he had his phone hard bricked and flashed a PIT file to his phone and could restore it back
Do any of you all guys have ever flashed a pit file or have any idea about what is happening to my phone?

We don't have a pit file for the skyrocket. At least as far as i know. You should be able to flash the stock firmware if you can get into dl mode. Use Odin 1.85 and follow vincoms guide

<ID:0/007> Initialzation.. (in this step my phone stuck while trying to install and never advance)
i tried using differents odin version, differents stock roms, different usb cables, differents usb ports and computers, also reinstalled the right drivers for my phone and i verified it in the device manager from my computer, so i can say the issue is in the phone
i tried to reinstall the CWM but it also keep on the initializing step so if this dont pass there is no way to get in CWM and neither to the factory recovery mode, as i said everytime i try to get in factory recovery mode i cant due my phone stuck in the samsung splash and never goes black as it should to say that now is on factory recovery mode.
Install kies, Run odin as administrator, use sammobile stock firmware.

I did it but keep sticking in download mode with the odin in initializing step even my kies download the emergency restore firmware and it stuck while trying to install is there a way a can make a dual boot without the cwm or factory recovery working?
I am having the exact same problem and have done just about all the same steps you outlined before I came across this thread. What was the final resolution for getting past the "Initialization.." phase in Odin?

Hi well i tried the whole method i could but i realized that would be quicker buying a new motherboard for the phone i got it on 50 usd on ebay it was a look that a guy tried to change his broken screen but he couldnt and decided to put his phone on auction i won and i repaired my phone however i send the mainboard to a friend of mine and he said the he couldnt repair it, i talked with a guy that said he could create the partition map again but i couldnt understand him maybe you can talk to him but he explained me that what killed my phone was to put a leaked firmware and make a wiping on the partition from the restore mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3597010 this is the guy just send him a message wish you good luck with that
Yesterday something happened to my wife's phone - Galaxy Ace Plus GT-S7500T. The details are unclear, but she received notification of some sort of "software or firmware update" that was "not a normal update". After that it told her to reboot and since then the phone has been stuck on the CWM Recovery screen.
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared cache and Dalvik Cache.
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Update firmware using Odin 1.85 - gets stuck at "setup connection"
4. Update firmware using Odin 3.09 - gets stuck at "setup connection" - tried various USB cables including original Samsung cable
5. Update firmware using Kies - doesn't seem to do anything
6. Update firmware from CWM Recovery
a) GellyBread ROM
b) Elruki ROM
c) Elruki ROM with boot.img substituted from S7500TDVMJ1_S7500TTLPMJ1_TLP.zip
7. Update using Heimdall from Linux - fails to detect phone
Both the GellyBread and Elruki ROMs are meant for the 7500L but at this point I'm getting desperate.
I've wasted two evenings on this and I am just about ready to give up and buy her a new phone. Is there anything else I should try?

if you dont have a firmware in your phone and it gets to download mode there is no reason to fail at updating with odin
to solve that try reinstalling your drivers but uninstall KIES!
otherwise try a different port or a different computer but it seems like odin is the only solution
the point from your post "since then the phone has been stuck on the CWM Recovery screen."
It means you have CWM installed device [ Correct me if I'm wrong here ] even I guess you've root.
at this stage even if you get any official firmware/software update you strictly don't have to update your device.
you've rooted device, unlocked system at this stage if you update your device with official firmware you'll surely face these kind of bricking issue.
Solution as given above reinstall kies to update drivers also try to check unroot thread from General section once,
Detailed guide & firmware download links are there...
wish you get back your device soon...

Just to be clear, the CWM Recovery screen means it is in download mode?
This morning I have uninstalled Kies and tried Odin again.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and tried Odin again. It now fails after a while rather than getting stuck.

Correct, I rooted it when we first got it. I was hoping to but Cyanogenmod on it but only after buying it discovered it was a 7500T and not a 7500.

Understood, I am not surprised about this. Just frustrating that I'm having so much trouble getting the phone back to life.
I will try unrooting it.

download mode is not recovery mode,
volume down+home+power
if you are not in download mode odin will not work

Thank you. I do feel a bit stupid not realising this earlier - but now it seems to be working.
I guess I was confused about what it was that CWM Recovery replaced, and I'm sure I tried Volume Down + Home + Power earlier but obviously didn't press it quite right.
