Hey Guys...
I Have a Concern that I would Like Help with... I am Trying to Install / Restore My Friends Galaxy S 4G to Stock but Once I get Past the FactoryFS and Etc I Get a Fail When it's Time to Write (which is what it states)
Now, I'm a Dev Assistant and a Tester So I Know How to Get Around but Samsung is a bit Harder as it Needs to Be Done via Odin
Any Info on to What Might be Causing this or as to What I Can do to help him resolve this... Every time I Try to Turn on the Phone Now I get the Recovery Menu... I Guess Since Odin was Unsuccessful @ the Writing Point?
I'm Sorry but I'm Lost Here... Thanks In Advance for the Help!
There is a thread up top labelled noobs guide to flashing. It has the stock rom link available.
You will need to run Odin before next step.
You will put the phone into download mode.
Do this by holding down the power up and power down button as you plug in the usb cable.
Your phone should recognize ODIN.
Follow the steps in the Noobs guide to flashing on how to load the files into ODIN.
It is very simple because you dont change any settings in ODIN. You leave it how it is and it really makes flashing back to stock pretty easy
Let me know if you have any questions.

Try different usb slot
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
So I actually have a similar problem but I get a FAIL every time I go through the process. Here is what I have tried:
1) Tried to root with ODIN and sent my phone into an endless boot with funky colored dots after boot screen. Apparently i failed.
2) Tried flashing with ODIN KD1 deodexed rom referenced in another xda thread about how to unbrick a galaxy s 4g. This quickly sent up the FAIL box in red in ODIN and then my phone was solidy bricked -> black screen with an arrow from a cell phone to a computer.
3) Used the One-click unbrick tool here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15330252#post15330252
4) This one-click too solved my black screen problem but now i'm back to the endless boot. I can still enter into download mode but not recovery.
I have been working on this all day without any luck, so I hope someone is willing to help. Thanks

You will not need to enter recovery only download so that is ok.
Make sure you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Also make sure you have ODIN running before you enter download mode.
I have had instances in the past where I had to reinstall ODIN and restart my computer before it would flash as well.
Let me know if you have any questions or need to know what files I use.
So I think I have the correct drivers installed on my computer but I could be wrong I suppose. The computer seems to recognize my phone fine so I think it's OK. Is there anyway to double check this?
I'm also not sure if I'm using the proper rom for flashing in ODIN. Thanks for offering to help.

If it is recognizing the phone it should be alright.
I would personally use [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root which can be found in ALL ROMS thread in dev section.
Once you have it downloaded take all the previously mentioned steps.
Run Odin... download mode.... etc.
Dont change any of ODINS settings.
Go down Odins list and upload the files to the correlating places. If it does not work PM me and we will figure out whats happening.
Trying this now. Thank you so much for your help.

KB5 is good, but i would recommend raver's KC1. it will clean up all problems that have accumulated from the bad flashes.
So I already flashed KB5. I would like to upgrade the phone to 2.3.5 if possible now, or is this a bad idea with all the bad flashes?

So I did a little more homework and it appears that I need to flash something like KG4 through ODIN? Once I have done this I can flash Valhalla, which appears to be the most popular/stable release.
just search for fbis251's GB start pack. that is all you need to follow. read the whole op first before doing anything.

I got a little happy last night and tried tinkering with my SGS, and ended up causing it not to boot up. It currently just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo screen, so now I'm just trying to go back to stock and start over.
I do not have odin (still not really sure what it is), but I do have CWM and I've wanted to flash this rom; but towards the end of the thread, some users say not to flash this and to use some other rom with odin instead.
Also, this rom won't even flash in CWM. It just says "installation aborted."
Thanks
I just tried flashing this with Odin, using these instructions, and I just got the bricked screen......
Can someone please help me.
recover a nandroid backup...
If you can't figure out Odin, but can boot into recovery, reinstall packages to get into CWM. Then you can restore to your last nandroid backup.
I can no longer boot into recovery or download. I'm stuck at the screen with the phone and computer with the yellow triangle in between. Odin still recognizes my phone when I plug it in (I think), but that's it. Also, I don't understand what there is to "figure out" about odin anyway. I followed the directions exactly, and the flash simply failed in Odin and when I rebooted, I got stuck at the bricked screen.
Looks like a trip to T-Mobile is in order...

YOU DID NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!
when i pulled the cord on my phone during download mode and odin it gave me the same screen as you
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS BRICKED
your computer will still recognize your phone and SO WILL ODIN!
that screen is basically another download mode
heres what you do:
download whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
go into download mode like you normally would and plug the phone in
you will notice that odin still recognizes your phone
in odin ONLY press the PDA option and then choose whitehawkx PDA_KD1 file
flash and wait for reset.... then BAM your phone has the new kd1 rom and its not bricked
i promise you the screen your getting doesnt mean a brick, ive seen that screen like 10 times throughout my flashing days
^ omfg man, you seriously just saved my entire Sunday. I have no idea why it didn't work like this when I first tried it, I literally went through the same steps.
Thank you so much.

yea you need:
Odin
any sgs4g rom like whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
take your battery out, put it back in and hold both the up and down volume buttons, then while holding them down plug your phone into your computer via usb and you will enter DOWNLOAD MODE from there you open odin on your computer and click only the PDA option look for the whitehawkx pda_kd1 file you downloaded and click start
that should fix it
Biggggggggggg Thanks

Flash it with one of the options you've been linked to by Kyndig. The first two are for Odin the last for Heimdall. That's an alternate DL mode your looking at. It still works the same.

Calm down and read the directions before you do something three or four times. Make sure you go through each step. Your problem like said above are stated in that threads direction. Finish the steps and you will get it to work.

9) Let the SGS4G go through the Fugu bootloop a couple of times. This is where your SGS4G gets Rooted.
10) Reboot to download mode once more
11) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse the ORIGINAL zImage (NOT THE ZIMAGE_PATCH VERSION!!). Click start.

pull the battery then do the download command then insert batter while ur still holding the buttons!!!
i've already did that.
just go with the kg4 rom.
but how sir? i cannot even access my phone into download mode.
hey bud, got your pm. sorry i couldnt respond faster, had some family stuff i had to take care of. but regardless, onwards to fixing your phone!
start up odin on your computer and make sure you have the correct drivers for the phone installed. pull your battery out of the phone. then press and hold both the volume up and down keys at the same time. once you do this, plug in the usb cable to the phone and the phone should automatically go into download mode. leave your phone plugged into the computer and place the kc1 rom into pda, make sure repartition is unchecked and click start and your phone should be ok.
for the drivers and overall steps through odin, check out this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
for the file to odin, i would say to use kc1, which can be found in this link:

if the above method of getting into download mode doesnt work, check out this link:

i know you said that you just want to get your phone working and you wanted to learn more, so this should do that. once you are comfortable with it again, we can work on getting you gb. i hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
did all the methods on how to get in to download mode but still nothing happen, it kept on rebooitng and rebooting via the FuguMod. losing hope to fix my phone.
thanks sir Jager555.
dude, don't panic, it is just a soft break
to go to download mode
1. pull out the battery and disconnect the usb.
2. connect the phone to pc with usb
3. while pressing volum up + down at SAME TIME put the battery in the phone
Yeah, it's just a soft brick, so it's no big deal. Try carefully redoing all the download mode methods. You might've accidentally missed a button, for all you know. Once you're in download mode, everything's good.
Please post in the correct sections. Thread closed.
Hi folks,
I've been trying to install custom Rom using Odin to support a language which is not supported with android gingerbread 2.3.5! and it failed after boot.bin...Now, I'm stuck in the Phone---!---PC screen.
I am trying to get into download mode to be able to return to stock using this
Return to stock, fix soft brick :: 11/13: Rogers TAR!
my question: Could I flash while am on "Phone---!---Pc" screen?how can I get rid of "Phone---!---Pc" screen? or should I get USB jig to force into download mode? is it the best solution to restore to stock?
any help would be greatly appreciated !

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.
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.

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.

This procedure is the simpliest way to get CWM on your phone. And by the way you get Voodoo Lagfix installed so it's cool.
I assume you have Samsung USB drivers installed but If you don't you just have to get Kies installed on your computer.
To make this short and sweet, you gonna need those files :
ODIN
http://d-h.st/gU0
Entropy's Daily driver kernel with Red CWM
http://d-h.st/TCp
Once you get those files, extract them and run the ODIN executable file in Administrator mode. You have to put your phone in download mode now. Have your phone completely shutdown, hold the vol + button and plug your USB cord in your computer. Normally, your phone will ask you to continue to download mode and you'll see a yellow box appear in odin. It will shows like this "COMxx" (x's are for the com number ). Then you just have to click on the PDA box in ODIN and choose the file you get from Entropy. Click on start and let the magic begins. Your phone will reboot after the process. It will stick on Samsung logo and you will hear the female robot voice tellilng you that voodoo lagfix and RED CWM is flashed on your phone. Once done it will reboot again and that's it you're done.
To get in CWM the procedure is simple, phone completely shutdown, hold the vol + and vol - buttons and press your power button. (hold the volume buttons once he's started) you will get in CWM in no time
I believe you can install it by rom manager

Yes, you will need a Kernel with Red CWM.
This can be achieved using The Heimdall One Click package with Entropy's DD Kernel. Post courtesy of qkster.

Kernel info starts at post 2 but definitely read post one as well.
OR
Read Zen Arcade's post about flashing one of his kernels with the SGS Kernel Flasher. This info is in post 1.

hi, if you still have this phone, flash this (link below) with odin 1.70, it is stock deodexed android gingerbread with root and CWM. after it flashes, let it boot and install some features, if phone starts speaking some things, don't worry, let it do it's thing and after it fully starts up, you should be running android gingerbread and cwm should be installed, so you can flash other roms.
