Odin Stock Restore Stuck at Partition

So it seems like the first time stuck so it restarted, now it's stuck at partition. I selected the PIT and the PDA stock file, but it's just sitting there ... I'm on the phone + PC logo.
Am I totally screwed? What to do?

What pit did you select?

It gets stuck at "Setup Connection.."

im gonna go out on a limb here and say use h8rifts stock rom with the 512pit found in the i9000 and captivate sections. h8's rom is missing the param.ifs though, not sure if you will need that.

So I've been able to use the 512 pit and get it to get back to the "Downloading... Do not turn off Target". ... but then when I go back in and try to flash the stock Rooted ROM I get the "Initialization..." then it just stops there... ideas?

not sure. let it sit for a while. h8rift or somebody said it took his like 20 minutes(if i remember right) which seems weird. also you should be logged in windows as admin and the usb plugged into a port that connects to the mother board not a expansion card or hub.
honestly though i have only used heimdall on the infuse. and never repartitioned because heimdall requires bootloaders for repartition. im not sure i trust lost1's bootloaders and if there is an issue with them there are no others to use.
it might be a driver issue. maybe samsung needs some updated drivers for the infuse.
also are you sure you have your .net framework up to date on windows? i cant think of everything odin depends on but i think having .netframework4 helps with some things on the phone, cant remember ifodin depends on it though

So I've been able to get it to say FACTORYFS now. I decided to just try the NON-rooted stock file to see if maybe it'll work. Right now it says Firmware update Start.... and there's a tiny green line flashing, but it's just been sitting there for 5 mins alrady.... just let it sit?

cant hurt to leave it there a little longer. the captivate never took that long but we also had a true factory flash oneclick odin that they use to reset refurbished phones. no such luck on the infuse unless someone wants to see if designgears has some sort of connection at samsung who can get it like he somehow was able to get it for the captivate. the significance of odin oneclick is that is has all the files. param.ifs, boot.bin, sbl.bin, and all the first boot scripts. our stock roms have come from rom dumps. the captivate stock roms came from samsung.
i would leave it for a good 20 minutes. then try something else. you may need to try files from lost1's stock rom you can use 7zip to manipulate the .tar files and magic ISO to manipulate the .rfs files within the .tar files, but atleast one ofthe files from lost1 doesnt work. if i had 2 infuses id experiment with you to be able to post what works and what doesnt. with only one phone im hesitant to try anything that is not tested

I'm using H8rift's restore... and both of the two (rooted and non) have the same issue for me.
It just sits... I've used the rooted and non-rooted.... ugh.
It goes to firmware update start then has a little greenness in the progress bar on the computer, and a little blueness in the progress bar on the phone, but I let it sit for 30 minutes and it never progresses any further, so there's something going on.
I've tried other usb ports, updated drivers, every method of compatibility and admin mode, even reinstalled windows basic version, haha.... ugh, this is hopeless.
I think it's time to chalk this up to a very very expensive lesson learned and go out and buy a replacement... not happy about that :-(

Why did you use a .pit? Did I not state in the OP of the Odin thread not to use one? take out the .pit, uncheck re-partition and flash the package as it was originally attended. you will NEVER need to re-partition your phone until we actually start CHANGING your partitions sizes (i.e. CM7, MIUI, possibly Samsung's gingerbread, etc.)

[Q] Noob needs a little help

Ok so I just got me a New samsung showcase. It came with 2.2 installed build number sch-i500.ee25. Ok so i find out about rooting and all this so i start researching all about it. Here is where i am. I rooted with SuperOneClick. Worked fine. I installed ROM manager to get the clockworkmod but it did not work so I used Odin to install clockworkmod. That worked fine. So at this point I decided i need to backup the stock ROM. I try this using ROM manager but no go. it reboots into clockworkmod and gives me the sd card not mounted stuff. So I read and read and read but i can't seam to find a solution to this problem. I know there other people that have had this problem. I have read through the step by step guides and i really see nothing on this. Anyone have any type of solution.

Running on stock 2.2 rom manager doesnt work. You will need to go into cwm by turning off phone, holding power,vol up and down at same time. after samsung blinks 2nd time let go of buttons and you will boot into recovery.

Thank you. I thought I tried that before but I guess i did something wrong. Worked that time. Now if my memory is correct from reading that will not back up two things. The kernel and something else. How do I back up the kernel? Or am I just not thinking correctly cause I have not had enough sleep.

I had to have Kies Mini open and running on my computer to root my phone

First, Welcome!
Second, Download and familiarize yourself with a program called Odin. This phone is hard to brick. From nearly every situation you can flash back to stock with Odin.
Third, Showcase files are not common. Send me a PM and ill give you my email address. I can better help over email.

[Q] (Q) Downgrade frm CM 9 back to gingerbread and bricked [Resolved, please delete]

I tried going back to gingerbread using Heimdall 1 click and it gives me a kernel error and failed. Now phone won't boot past the rogers logo. Any suggestions? No samsung screen. No green battery indicator when plugged in. Heimdall does detect the phone, and I've tried all USB ports and cords at my disposal. I use a mac so no access to odin. This is the first brick I haven't been able to get myself out of. Any help you would be appreciated

I am a gt i9000 owner, but can you get into download mode?

If you can get download mode, then flash a gingerbread stock rom, even if it means you will lose root still do it, then flash a new rom of your choice, if you can get into download mode then you haven't got a brick

I can get into download mode.heimdall detects my phone. I tried both qksters and adam outlers 1 click. neither would take. If I upgrade heimdall version (as it tells me its out of date) it wont get through the initial connection to the phone. if I use with out upgrade it continues to fail on kernel download.
This is my second brick (first one was when trying to root it on my mac) First brick was fixed through odin at my work. Unfortunately I don't want to wait till monday to have a functioning phone

Hummmm..ok
Let's step back here does out prompt you for drivers?
....you might have to make a stop at your office..

Try different USB ports, I used heimdall yesterday to go back to gingerbread (so I could get the boot loaders) and I had the same problem as you, I finally got it to work with a different USB port and even then it kept failing...but I just kept trying and eventually it went through
(Pull battery, place battery back in, hold volume up and down, plug USB in-should put you in download mode...even if you can't see anything on your screen you can still enter download mode)

DOesnt prompt me for drivers. It detects my phone and says ready to flash. I see the download mode screen. so its not completey screwed. Just can't get past the rogers logo.. I only have two USB on my macbook.. tried both quite a few times guess i'll mess with it some more. see if I can get it going. Thanks for the tips. ANy others ideas would also be appreciated

Alright, here it is:
I encountered the same problems yesterday, heimdall doesn't work when flashing back to stock from ics, from what I've found, you must use gtg's ultimate unbrick, the pit repartitions everything and also resets your binary counter (cha-ching! ). Once completed, your phone will reboot and be stuck at "...installing default apk files..." for a few minutes, don't panic, let it run its course. From there on, you can do the usual root/flash cwm deal. .

Agreed. On my desktop (quad core 6 gb ram, watercooled blablablabl) can't run heimdal nor Odin to save its life.
My netbook (single core atom) took me back from CM9 with Odin like it was nothing.
My 7 year old laptop (running Ubuntu) works great using Heimdal (just run the .jar file as an executable)

I've flashed lots of roms and never had any issues. Also looked through the forum and know the basics about getting back to stock. I'm no expert, but I have a decent idea what I'm doing. I do appreciate a forum you can ask questions though and have people help out when your stumped. I did what i could from the tools I have at my disposal here, and ran into some problems. I'm not yelling SOS, just asking for some tips as what I have tried hasn't worked. All the same I do appreciate everyones opinions and help they provide. THat's what makes this forum great.

why would you need to heimdall if you are on a rogers infuse? Isn't that for AT&T phones only?

I don't have recovery.. otherwise I certainly would have

From bricked to fixed.

I was caught in a boot loop and tried to re flash, when in my haste I forgot that Odin will recheck partition when loading .Pit files (pretty lame feature)
Still it was my fault for clicking start in haste.
**phone was partitioned, and would not go into download mode, it was stuck in a screen that said "Firmware update error, please restore in Kies", but it wouldn't connect to kies**
I sent my phone to XDA member Connexion2005

I haven't got it in my hands yet, but he just told me it was fixed, I can't wait to get it back and leave it the hell alone (until someone makes CM7 or better work on it)
anyhow, this is out there so if you do what I did (DON'T) there's a solution. Set me back $50 plus shipping to TX from NYC but still, I didn't have to get a whole new phone.

Please elaborate. Not finding much info on this "uberfixit", but it sounds like it's some method of re-creating the stock filesystem that's flashable in odin?

I was putting this out there, because I'm not the only one that this will happen to.

yea it happens when you repartition, an uberfixit requires a complete dump of the phone and quite a bit of time, but will completely fix what you described
the problem with repartitioning is that it wipes the phone clean and then starts to reinstall everything, problem is neither one of teh tars has the full dump (we do it for the sake of saving actual bricks)
knowing someone who can jtag is great we have had a few epic 4g touches that crashed and burned and were saved via jtag.

You may not remember, but I did go onto your IRC and spoke with you regarding this issue.

oh sorry, the irc channel we have is for a bunch of devices currently we house blaze 4g, attain 4g, conenct 4g, lucid and optimus m+ owners. so i probably thought you were an attain owner since we have had a good number of attain owners repartition as well :/

it's all good, bottom line is I f'd up my device, but now its fixed.

um...yeah...
So i did the exact same thing as you... Been trying to find anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I haven't found a single place in my whole state that can fix the problem. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid sending it out for repair.

So how do I get this uberfixit?
I stupidly re-partitioned using Odin, also: I did not realize that Odin re-checked the check box -even after unchecking- when a new pda file was loaded. My bad. Totally though it was bricked until i was able to flash this stock gingerbread rom, but now kies says that my Blaze S does not qualify for upgrades... Did the re-partitioning do this?
I can no longer get to the recovery screen, although if I restart my blaze while connected to a pc via usb, it does allow the "re-install OS?" page to display, and I can get to recover from there: But absolutely no more access to the recovery "menu" which allows me to wipe cache/restore to factory/etc.

[Q] Does anyone know what's wrong with this screen?

I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

can you get it into download mode...?
if so run the one click again and you might have to check the box for bootloaders, on the second run...meaning I would run it twice...

It does that immediately on power up. Doesn't even get to the Samsung screen. Odin will recognize the phone, but when I try to flash a return to stock package (which I used earlier perfectly fine), it says the md5 is invalid.
Like I said, I never even got to the point of installing the bootloader since I forgot about the drivers. Are you saying I should install the drivers and try to flash the bootloader again?
Thanks so much for the help! I've never had this much trouble with a phone before
EDIT: I'm a dumbass. since I couldn't see the screen, I forgot to press up again after entering download mode. Odin is now in the process of installing the aforementioned return to stock package. And I think it worked!
You have no idea how grateful I am of you for pointing that out! I feel kind of dumb for not trying it, but when the screen looked like that I could only assume there was no functionality!
THANKS AGAIN! Times a million!

Lol ok let us know when you get it up and running....kk

What EXACTLY gave you the idea to put your mother's phone on a ROM that half works and has many bugs? Just trying to understand... I could have done this to my friend's mom's atrix, but I didn't because the stock ROM will always have the least bugs for unpopular devices like ours. (ones that don't get official support for CM or AKOP or anything)

whooo there...slow your roll...
the op has the options to put what he wants, and actually if you have been tracking the ICS/CM9/AOKP threads they have made leaps in the smashing of bugs....actually very stable and good to go now, seeing how just months ago we didn't even have any ver of ICS, and yes it takes homework to install..
and you kept stock on your friends Mommy phone well that was between you and him and Mommy...
so long story short....as far as unpopular, I see this device being sold and for a high demand on CL and Ebay...with all the support given here...that is my IMHO...as is yours

This makes about as much sense in English as it does in Japanese.

I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

First of all, every once in a while, she asks me if there are any updates yet.
Second, there's only a short list of insignificant bugs mentioned in the ICS topics.
I flashed GB on it a while back, and I figured since CWM and everything was set up already I wouldn't have a problem; flash, reboot, flash again, done. Unfortunately, it wasn't flashing the second time for whatever reason, and I figured it had something to do with the now half-functional CWM.
Anyway, to those of you who weren't unreasonably judging me, and rather decided to help: Thank you, the phone is now back up and running!

LOL, woooooooootttttttt

Same thing happened to me. What I did was send my phone back to Samsung tell them everything ( except about rooting) they will email you a label then ship it off and get back in about 1 week. They will put stock gingerbread on it. Hopes this helps.
