HELP. I have been trying to use GTG's ultimate unbrick and retun to stock for 4 days now. I got phone second hand and thought i was getting stock but rooted then found out he actually deleted preinstalled apps!!! I purchased this phone to get the OTA GB upgrade and can't until returned to stock. I installed the samsung drivers got confirmation from my computer , got to putting phone in download mode..which it does but ODIN will not recognize device so nothing shows in COM. I went through the steps anyway...nothing!! debugging on, debugging off, antivirus on, off.. I don't understand. computer..XP said drivers installed. won't work in DL mode. I try to install drivers again PC says already installed. I went to a friends with a brand new pc with win 7. "found new hardware, installing drivers. same thing...NOT RECOGNOIZED ....I ran into this very issue when trying to upgrade my captivate...get into DL then NOTHING. i AM FAIRLY NEW AT THIS BUT NOT STUPID. i read others that have same issue but i find no fixes.
anyone ...please...GTG??

I am using Odin from the unbrick app. Don't really know how to use a different version. Using the OEM USB cord. Funny thing when i go to control panel to uninstall previous drivers...they aren't in the list but when i search I find all kinds. When i try to install new ones it says they are already there and to uninstall first. Anyone know if when i do the search and they come up can I delete from there??

Try Heimdall. Odin stopped working for me also and once I started using heimdall it's great and faster than odin

Heimdall under Linux works great for me - no clue how well it works in Windows.
It seems like Odin is pretty screwy and requires all sorts of settings Heimdall doesn't.

Ok so I recently tried to flash a rom, can't remember which one but it was CWM flashable. I followed the instructions to flash it to the t. Something went wrong and wouldn't let me restore my backup so I just wiped everything hoping that would clear the issue but it didn't. Now the phone WILL NOT boot. It is stuck on the Galaxy S 4G (exclusively from t-mobile) Splash screen and won't budge. Won't go to recovery mode, download mode (tried several ways), nothing...please give me advice. I tried making a jig but it didn't work...I think I may have gotten the wrong resistors though. Tutorials say 301kohm and i picked up a five pack of 100kohm and twisted three together, cut open and old usb cable, etc; and it won't work....please please please help. This is my gf's phone. Please don't tell me i have to send it in for repair. FYI I'm no noob, I've flashed plenty of roms to her phone and such before and never had this problem.

If you are still in the Galaxy S/T mobile splash screen then you ARE IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
Find an Odin ROM in the SGS4G Bible to flash and you should be good. If you still have problems with setup connection it might be a problem with your drivers.
I had an issue with drivers before and just downloaded Kies Mini off of Samsungs website. Kies will install the drivers for your phone
Yeah I think that may be the problem cause I read in another post that you can flash with Odin from that screen but couldn't get the comp to recognize the phone. Downloading kies mini now. Hopefully it will work.
Thank you so much for your help. I can't believe I didn't realize the driver thing...its always the little things you forget that matter the most. Lol. Thanks a lot man. Now successfully flashed with odin and booted up.

From what I have read (and my experience) on our forum these few+ months is that our original stock usb cable is DEPENDABLE and that aftermarket ones can cause problems for people. Just saying.
Your fancy one might have been enough to get the job done. But our stock usb cable is Proven. If you have it use it. I can say this with certainty.

dude, get the drivers from the samsung site, get heimdall 1.1, get visual c++ redistrobutable package and get the comunity kernel.
extract the kernel .zip and find the zimage
install the drivers
open heimdall
put the zimage in the kernel slot
put the phone in download mode and connect to usb
hit the flash button in heimdall
pretty easy

To make things easier on yourself, you should really find a comp, google "Superoneclick Infuse" and it should pop up step by step install instructions. (download link included)
Still, with the root/flash options, I too would like the official release from AT&T...the wait is getting too long.
Question -I assume I'll need to reload apps if I flash a ROM, correct?

soc is short for superoneclick (or system on a chip or many other things but i was talking about superone click) anyway you need the newwest version of super one click to root android 2.3.3 and up. i believe it is version 2.2
i havent tried it but i hear it takes a while. you could also bypass that and flash a kernel with root through heimdall. it's a bit like odin but doesnt flsh .tar archives. it flashes the raw images (zimage for the kernel) so you have to extract the zimage out of a .zip file. you could also make your own odin package but that means you shoud be doing it in a terminal window(look up cygwin, or install linux or borrow a mac). though archive managers like win rar and 7zip can work i have had issues doing it in windows (as well as success but dont want to risk it)

Big dog Infuse I997 GB KJ4
[AT&T][2.3.6]Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install
I did the first step and sure enough it returned the phone to stock. I've been using Serendipity VII and thought I'd try this return to stock to see if my HDMI would work. It sure has the touch and feel of stock firmware, yet shows it's Android version 2.3.6 I mean it's got all the ATT bloatware, Samsung apps, the works. I go into settings and can't find TV out in the Display settings like Serendipity (could find the button but it didn't work) now that I'm "stock" I can't find the button! LOL
Where I am at this point is reading the stuff about getting root again as I have no superuser icon anymore.
Not sure if I should proceed to step two, looks to be fairly recent material...
Download Defuse 1.5"
Ok I did that but am reluctant to proceed after all the reading I did. I have a usuable handset still but the battery life sucks compared to S7 and still don't have HDMI, anyone have experience on what happens if you do the second step? It says you can get CWM and flash (I'm ready to flash back to Serendipity) but I don't see where it gives you root and I'm chicken to click it thru and try, been reading...
Hello?

I think that's the route I'm going to take. Currently downloading Kies at ~10 KB/sec from Samsung. I'm not patient enough to wait.
I've also had zero luck using Odin from a Windows 7 VM on my macbook. The only thing that has worked via ODIN has been flashing CWM. I soft bricked my phone with Odin a month ago and took days to figure out how to fix (I blame myself for being a noob with android tho).
So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

drivers
thomas.raines said:
So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...
