Was wondering if this method to odin is legit;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6H-5SSE0E0
Trying to flash rom and for some reason get stuck at wipe data factory reset. CWM freezes, and have to reboot phone. Phone is back to factory settings after reboot. Was wondering if the odin method above is the problem. When I first tried flashing i forgot to check the mounts (yes i know rookie mistake) But after using the odin to get out of the soft brick. My phone gets stuck like mentioned above. tried rooting in various methods, all with same end result. begining to think that the pit file, or the odin file is messed up. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yeah that is legit ( used it before n where did u get the odin ?

yea i can get in to orange cwm. but when i select that option for wipe data factory reset, it sits on that screen for ever. i let it sit once for 30 minutes and the screen still looked the same.
Is it stuck on deleting android secure?

yea i know that much. but it stays on that screen forever. how long is it suppose to sit on that screen? cause like i stated before, it has stayed on that screen for 30+ minutes...
it should quickly delete since it is the first to be deleted so did uunmount the system?
did you get into download mode? because you can odin out of it i can help you out just tell me what part you got to when you tried to odin.
Yea odin works fine. I actually jus went back to stock earlier. But after rooting and cwm, and all the rom stuff on the root of the sd card. I go to wipe data factory reset option, click yes and then I get stuck on the anroid secure garbage. My screen looks like what I posted. And it can sit for up to 30 minutes with no change in the screen. Not sure what I'm doin wrong.

how did you get your cwm there? root explorer or sduvicks method?
but it should only take 10 seconds!
I used his and then a method I found on youtube. Bd1692 uploaded it. He posted the odin link too. Both ways brought me to the frozen cwm screen...

try wiping just cache and dalvik in CWM (make sure its CWM too and not stock recovery, just making sure since you said you're on stock GB) and see if it'll let you boot fully after that... if still nothing you may lose your data and just have to do a full wipe or Odin

Yes its a rooted stock . I have the yellow CWM ,and I have wiped everything I possibly can as Im not worried about loosing the data . Lol looks like when I get home i will have to reodin . But thanks I was trying to avoid that . The part Im really worried about is I tried 2 different sd cards and neither will mount in order do a restore or to flash a new rom . Any suggestions on that ? Thanks

maybe your sd card slot got fried somehow. I would get the phone up and running by flashing a rom using odin. i know some roms say u have to use cwm, but im pretty sure the allinone rom can be done in odin. if after that u cant get an sd card to work u may need to talk to verizon n see if theyll send u a new charge.
Yeah just flash the all on one package. Make sure you take out your SD card before you flash just in case it isn't fried.

usually, the phone will hang on SAMSUNG if it can't mount any of the devices (primarily /system).

I could boot into recovery, and I could not get it to mount to the SD card but it would mount the system. Got my new charge yesterday and didn't waist any time loading it up with infinity. Hopefully it wont happen again.

I have been using Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5801 for 2 years now.. It was having Android 2.1. Today I decided to install custom ROM to upgrade to Android 2.3.7. Used the below steps in the process:
1. Rooted the device using SuperOneClick
2. Installed ClockworkMode ROM manager 4.3.3.0. Installed G3RM as well.
3. I could not take the backup. G3RM when tried to open was opening a html code when i clicked the options. ClockworkMode did not have the option for Galaxy 3.
4. Downloaded the CM7.2.0-GT-i5800_Alpha8.3_CWM.zip from google code pages for cm7-i5800 (92.2 MB in size).
5. Copied the zip file to the base directory of SD card and renamed it to update.zip. Using CWM wiped the data/factory reset. Phone rebooted to Android 2.1 with all data erased.
6. Then I updated the ROM using CWM. It didn't throw any errors. Mobile rebooted. But it gets stuck in opening screen forever (display contains just GT-I5801 and Samsung). I assume this is a soft brick. As I recollect now, I forgot to clear the cache before the upgrade. Will this be a problem?
7. Tried to recover using Power + Vol Up+ Vol Down + Menu combination. This process is also stuck with a message "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING".
8. I suspect the device is bricked now.
I am new to android ROM updates. I am looking forward for your help to unbrick the device now. Please suggest me the steps to unbrick the device (Or a link which i should follow).
Regards,
Shreekanth
At Step 7, try use ODIN and flash a Rom through it. Theres a guide somewhere on this forum. It should help save your.. Oh wait. I think you have to get a special i5801 ROM, but I might be wrong.
My phone does not boot up now.. Will it be possible to use ODIN to flash a ROM at this stage? Before step 6, I had cleared the wiped the data / factory reset using CWM. That time it rebooted to Android 2.1. Later i copied the ROM and tried the ROM update. I am facing the problem since then.
Since the display turns on, I assume this is kind of soft brick. So hoping for a fix. I am searching the entire forum for any possible answer. Please help me with your suggestions.

Shreekanth

The problem is resolved now and I am much relieved .. This time I have used ODIN. It detected the phone and now I have updated to Android 4.1.1.
A xda thread "How to use ODIN for dummies" was very helpful. Thanks a lot for all of your suggestion.

Hey guys,
Just experienced what I think is a soft brick. I know that this has been talked about a dozen times, and I have searched. I just want a more experienced yes or no to be sure.
Basically, last night I tried flashing PAndroid on my skyrocket and I went through the format system, format data, factory reset, and wipe cache. Then when I went into flash a zip it said something to the effect of "E: Can't access SD Card". So then I tried to use my band road but that also gave me the error. I then tried to mount the SD card, but it gave me another error. So, guessing that it would just factory reset me, I rebooted.
Now, my phone will vibrate and flash the Samsung logo before going to a black screen (but the screen is on). It also had the symptom of sticky power button for a while with the few second interval buzzing, but I jammed the power button and it seemed to stop doing that and is now doing the aforementioned thing instead.
Should I go use Vincom's soft Brick guide? Also, does anyone have a link to a 7zip extractor that isn't riddled with viruses? (had a hell of a time getting rid of them the first time I rooted haha)
Again, I know this is probably a fairly obvious answer, but yall have just been so helpful in the past that it makes me want to come here before just winging it. And I'm really nervous with this being my first time haha.
Thanks a lot guys, yall are the best!

Use vincoms guide and Odin back to stock. I just googled for 7-zip and didn't get any viruses. Don't have the original file or I'd put it up on dev host for you

You wiped system. That's why nothing is happening. You should still be able to enter recovery. Now why your recovery was giving you that error is a different story. Go to recovery and copy the version down here.

Okay, I managed to get into recovery, but I'm still getting the error about the SD card not being mounted. I was looking on Google and I found two different solutions. One was to re flash CWM with Odin, but would that mess up my phone because it already has CWM on it? The other was to reformat my SD card on the computer, but I have no honest idea how to do that haha.
EDIT: v6.0.1.4

Re-Flashing cwm won't mess anything up. Formatting the sd card will remove everything on it including the rom you're trying to flash.

it has super user also, so we are good there
when i try and load most roms i get an error on the "instal zip from sd card"
its a status 7 error
the only one that hasnt had that error is the
Slim-i727-3.1.0-OFICCIAL.zip
but this one gets stuck at the boot screen
i have cleared chach, bat stats, chache partition, factory reset, dalvik chace...
nothing seems to be working, anyone with some ideas?
FYI..i rooted my straightalk samsung galaxyu precedent..so not my first root XD
Try formatting internal memory? [Sd card] have a backup on your pc of whatever you want to keep as this will erase all data like pics and music.

reformat, in CWM or through them comp?
i formated everyhtoing romatable in cwm..still gives me an error 7
First off that's a really old version of CWM. Either install sk8's CWM or the most recent twrp. I bet that's ur problem. If u still get errors google status 7 error, I can't remember exactly what it is but I think it involves a compatibility check issue or something.
ya status 7 is the compatability check..ok so the newest cwm should fix it...ok hopefully that helps
ok now they are jsut bootloading..they wont go past..but they do instal..any ideas?

Hi, i'm a noob fresh out of youtube and I have successfully rooted my phone and gotten CWM and the Recovery Image flashed but the problem comes into play when I try to make a backup of my stock rom and my phone reboots into the recovery mode and it gives me the options to
1. reboot
2. reinstall
3. delete user data
4. wipe caches
and it says # Manual Mode #
Appling CSC...Installing CSC but it doesn't do anything and i've let it sit there for a minute nothing even pops up. Help please? I'm kinda at a loss here. lol

Hey so I tried to get the custom recovery...am I supposed to delete the old "recovery" file and place the modded one there or am I just supposed to leave it alone? I have the update.zip file in the root of my sdcard but still I tried to boot it into the cwm recovery mode and still no dice.
Replace it, for some more detail see post 36 in this thread
