So im trying to go from pinnacle to cm7. I usually flash back to stock jf6. Now it was taking insanely longer than normal. So i unplugged it to try again. And I got the yellow triangle. It says Firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode. Ive tried the different ways to get back into download mode (These have the GB bootloaders) I cannot get back into download mode or recovery at all. Any Suggestions? I also have a Jig and that doesnt work either. Pls Help!
ugh False alarm...sorry...apparently the GB bootloaders throw it automatically into download mode, it just doesnt say download mode...bleh...Can I have a mod delete this thread please...I apologise in advance...

No point flashing to jf6 ever.. You could have just flashed cm7 right.over pinnacle or any other rom for that matter.

my captivate was rooted with MIUI installed on it. since for some reason camera was failing, i flash back to stock and sent it to samsung for repair.
i got it back yesterday, and they had installed 2.2x froyo.
inorder to reinstall MIUI again I used Odin final revo(the one you dont have to select pit etc).
it passed and then when the phone reboot, it stuck there. now I cannot go back to download/recovery mode or any mode.
everytime when i try to go back to download mode it stuck in battery charge
any help?
You need to make or buy a jig. You need your phone in download mode. There is hope for your Captivate.

Most of the new/refurb phones that ship with froyo can't be flashed back to jf6. You need to flash it with either KB1 or KB2.

Research and reading. Find a kb1/2 thread, read the first post in those threads. Wouldn't hurt to read the last 10-15 pages of the thread.
Ok i finally found out how to root and flash my SGS4G and after finishing everything the phone got into a rolling restart loop with a rainbow screen. Trying to use odin to return to stock but it doesn't stay on for more than 10secs so Odin cannot really do anything....
Help?
Can you get into download mode?

The rainbow screen means you flashed a gb ROM on froyo boot loaders. What ROM did you flash? Is Odin recognizing your phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Audiophile-ftw-newbuild. Odin sees my phone but the phone is restarting before i am able to do anything. I cannot get on download mode because i cannot see anything on my rainbow screen. Only a t-mobile logo at the beginning saying Galaxy S 4g
Here is the link for the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214260
This is what i got for trying to work on it at 4am. I did not install the bootloaders for GB as you said. Anything that I can do to fix it?
Did you even try to get into download mode?
pull battery out then turn it on while pressing both volume buttons, and have USB connected. I don't remember exactly how to get into download mode, but try everything, then you Odin to a froyo ROM and start over.
Sent from my SGS4G using xda forum app
yes i did. I managed to make stop restarting, odin sees the phone on com3 and i am trying to flash it back to stock but Odin stacked on setupconnection for a while now (10mins)
Just to clarify a few things since i am new to this. (i flashed my vibrant with no issues many times before)
Where do i add the *.tar file in Odin? PDA-Phone-CSC?
I had that issue.. powered the phone and the computer off and on... plugged the phone in after Odin was up and went into download mode then it worked.

Im on DL mode now finally but odin does not see my phone and the drivers failed to install on my pc. restarting pc now to retry
now im on the DL screen but Odin does not pick up my phone. Anyone has a link for the drivers of SGS4G to install them manually?
ok i manage to connect everything together and i am now in the recovery mode. whats next? please help!!!!
This is what you need to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
Once you get to step 11 you can flash Audiophile again (or any other GB ROM you wish). This will install the bootloaders you need and fix the "rainbow screen".
i managed to fix it and i got black_ice. I am on the "wait 10mins" part and then have to restart one more time. We will see what happens. If it doesn't work i will follow your steps

Glad you got it working. Just make note of which roms are froyo 2.2 and which are gb 2.3. They require different boot loaders and the only way to change boot loaders is with Odin. I hate Odin because of the frustration when it freezes, stalls, or doesn't recognize the device. To each h his own though
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
ok i flashed black ice when it boots though there is an android logo on top of the t-mobile logo and the phone doesn't seemed to change anything.
I am currently running on KD1 baseband and v3.0 bali_sgs4g kernel what did i do wrong?
Did you read the black ice thread? The whole thing? That would be a good place to start. I don't recommend black ice for your first flash though, allot of people never got it to work or went through hell to make it work.

The andoid logo over the T-Mobile logo is normal from what I understand. I had that issue as well when I was on froyo.
If you are still experiencing other issues, I would suggest restoring a nandroid backup (if you have one) and starting over fresh: install a fresh kernel and ROM. If you want to stick with froyo, I suggest drhonk's Bali v3.3 kernel, and any of the froyo ROMs will be fine.
If you want to try GB, follow the link that I posted earlier to find FB's GB Starter Pack.
well i just reflashed again, im waiting for the phone to boot up..my issue was that the phone looked stock and couldn't find any themes or something to change it. i read the thread, i guess my question is the theme that i saw on the screen shots of black ice, does it come with it or not because im getting really confused with this thing lol
Axura was much easier on my vibrant....
So the only issue you have now is that the phone looks stock?
i followed your guide and i was able to flash it everything looks ok. thanks all for the help and special thanks to ultimakillz
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.
My infuse was running aokpcb rom. i made a backup of my previous rom, AEON v1.3.1. i restored using nandroid back to AEON but when i reboot its stuck at the samsung screen. I tried GTGs Odin back to stock multiple times using different ports but it always gets stuck at factoryfs. i even rebooted the computer and tried it again but still no good. I've used Odin back to stock a couple times before so im used to the program. now ive ran out of ideas and i would greatly appreciate the help. THANKS

And don't restore with nandroid, just to a full restore back to stock with odin or hemdall and reflash the rom.
Im not 100% but i think with aeon the first boot will freeze up at the factory screen. Try pulling battery then reboot..

+1 odin sux. it's funny how some independant guys can reverse engineer what it's doing and write something better.
Happens to my Infuse all the time now, even using Heimdall. I just pull the battery, get back into the alternate download screen, reload the drivers (if necessary) on the pc and re-run Heimdall. It always seems to get stuck twice, but works the third time. The last time I took it to stock & did a "factory data reset", just to see if that would clear up whatever the issue was. Unfortunately (?), I haven't tried going back to stock since.

Not sure if your being understood.
Sorry for not responding. I've been at a summer camp for the past week. Anyways, when i try to install drivers with heimdall it aborts the procedure and then freezes the program... and when i plug in my phone into the wall charger, the screen stays off..

Heimdall is great when properly set up and WHEN IT WORKS. What I do, and this'll bring it back from pretty much anything, is use gtg unbrick, and if it doesn't boot from that flash, (and mine doesn't because its a rogers ) , i then flash the Odin stock lb3 pack, and boom back to normal no matter what I flashed. I imagine if you're running an at&t model , you shouldn't have to do the second step. Be sure to remove the battery and reinsert at least once on any from flash to be sure its not booting correctly before going to another step. Also be sure drivers are correctly installed through kies or kies mini. I find this is easiest with Odin because it clearly shows you in bright yellow that the download connection has been established.. many times i' very had to reinstall the kies drivers, I don't know why.. but try this , and like I say once you see yellow in Odin in phone download mode, you know you're set. Once again, like this kies/gtg/try booting/if no boot/pull battery try boot again/ if still no boot Odin lb3 stock and then flash a recovery kernel to regain cwm..

ive been trying the odin lb3 from gtg and it gets stuck on dbdata.rfs instead.. im kinda flipping out...
So I'm rooting my friends infuse for him. basically flashed in odin but after that went through i was stuck at the samsung boot logo for 45 minutes. I did a battery pull and tried again with same result. So i tried getting back into download mode because it would not let me get into the stock recovery at all and it let me. Tried to reflash using odin and in the middle in the middle of it, it stopped and came onto the yellow triangle screen as shown in the pic. now cant get into download or boot or anything. ive tried using odin even though its not in download mode to flash a stock kernel but it just keeps connecting and disconnecting because now the computer wont read the device. Is there anyone who has had this issue and can help or have i completely bricked his phone. And for the record he is no longer on AT&T he is using straight talk so he cant just go into the AT&T store anymore. Thanks for any help you can give me
Try to use qkster hemidall package
