I had baseband firmware & imei Unkown issue, after loading the rom (Gingerbread 2.3.4 T959VUVKG4 ) via ODIN,
Then I guessed there should be a issue with the modem, then flashed different different modems via ODIN (ki1.tar.md5 / kh2.tar.md5 & etc) nothing worked for me...
then after reading a thread I tried above modem (kh2.tar.md5) + "T959VUVKG4" pit file combined via ODIN. phone went off never turned back...but now i could connect the device using following method:-
1. removing battery
2. plug cable + volup + down
3. plug battery
then it shows to DOWNLOADING MODE
however my PC doesnt recognize the USB driver it shows as UNKNOWN DEVICE in under Device Manager in my PC. I tried even reinstalling the Samsung USB driver no luck
any chance that i could get my phones life back ?
good news, i changed the cable then changed to another PC. then USB recognized via ODIN, I culd flash everything sucessfully
but the hard part is,,, i still have the UNKNOWN baseband & Imie issues, can someone instruct me what to do ?

I too have the same problem since this morning. I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxt 4G SGT959V and after rooting and downloading kernel files, it was only going to the T Mobile logo. Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???
I would like to know what should I do for getting my phone power on or in download mode. I have tried all the above mentioned steps, but it just not works. Duh!!
Please someone help!!
Rooting phone voids warrenty. Turn Odin on and then hold volume up and volume down at the same time and while doing that plug in your USB cable to get into download mode. Even if nothing shows on the phone Odin may still recognize it. Try it a few times if the first attempt don't work.

I tried doing this several times. But Odin dont recognize nor does my phone powers on. Do you think it drain the battery while rooting and downloading?
Try removing the battery first then, hold volume button up and down simultaneously then plug your USB cable its recommended you have Odin up and ready while your doing this. Make sure your battery is charged before you for any of this! Good luck ;-)

Phone isnt powering on... I dont even see battery icon when hooked to charger.
Your phone may be hard bricked as in dead and lifeless. Im not sure if Samsung will be able to tell if your phone was flashed because its dead.Samsung slaves usually use different battery and usb to see if phone turns on,if it doesn't they then inspect phone for physical damage and then they send you a refurbished one. T-mobile are a bunch of noobs they wouldn't know anything so push for a new phone with them. Could you please explain exactly what you did? My guess is odin flashing with wrong firmwares or kernels.
hi
i had the same hard brick problem as above but for me it was weird. all i wanted at the time was to get rid of the bloat where and i did after which i unrooted and the phone worked fine. the weird thing is later i went in to download mode by accident and before i could do anything the phone was bricked. tmobile replaced My phone but if this has happened to anyone else please reply

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

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?

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.

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.
I have been bricked alot. And restored to stock using Odin for about 15 times. But then the USB slipped out of the port during one recovery and the infuse got stuck. Now when I attempt to turn it on, the screen turn on white and flicker back to nothing. The same happens when I plug it in the computer. I cannot go to download mode. Please help me asap! I was going to give my infuse to my nephew for his birthday! First one who help me successfully will get an $20 reward PayPal or any other of the sort.

I would try a different PC first. This happened to me as well.
It seems that the drivers get screwed up when the flash is interrupted. This advice has helped several people.
Good luck bro
I'm assuming you don't get any computer notification that usb plugged in? If you do just give it a few and press up like it is in download mode. I've had a screwed up looking screen and still flashed in download mode even though I couldn't see the screen.

Don't worry. I got into even worse situation, I can't even turn on my phone yesterday when I fail the odin. I thought the bootloader is dead.. charge the battery and try it again and you would put it into download mode.
Adam's method is very risky.

Bought my jig, over a year ago....never leave home w/o it
This happened to me once. IIRC I pulled the battery, connected the phone to the computer (I don't recall if I had Odin running or not, but I'm not sure if it even matters), then held vol + and - while re-inserting the battery and the phone powered on into download mode. It's been a while since it happened and unfortunately I don't remember the exact order of the steps I took, (I was freaking out a bit and trying different things), but you may want to try this process or some variation of it. Good luck.

From what I see, you weren't holding down the Vol keys before plugging in the usb cable. At least in that video you didn't.

I originally recorded that, but the result was the same difference so I end up discarding that portion. Anyone else?
P.S. How do I use Heimdall without download mode?
Did you ever try another PC?
I tried flashin to stock firmware through Odin, and it said it passed/ flashed successfully yet my phone just stays on the at&t Logo, any advice?
I NEED my phone for work tomorrow and it's already getting late. I've reflashed twice now. I'm starting to panic.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

I'm not very great with the correct terms, but I'll try to spell out my issue as best as I can. I have cm9 installed on my skyrocket, I tried to flash another rom and had issues with it. I then tried to flash back, but cwm seemed to be stuck formatting /cache. The friend helping told me to reboot and try again so did and then I started having boot screen issues. I can get my phone to download mode or cwm, but I can't seem to get odin to install the stock or for the cwm to finish (still stuck on formatting /cache.. goin on 2 hours). What did I do wrong and how can I fix this?
DETAILED help would be appreciated, but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'll re-explain anything that doesn't make sense.
I really just want to get back to stock.
What happens in ODIN -- does it also get stuck at formatting cache?
Have you tried any of the Heimdall one-click to restore to stock?
Let us know if that also gets stuck on formatting cache.

ODIN wouldn't always register my device and when it did it would either fail, complete in the description box after checking the md5, or fail due to the device de-registering.
At this point my my device is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered" screen with the yellow triangle. I didn't know about the Heimdall. I followed the directions on Kies to restore it that way, but it's not picking up my device even though my computer is.
Am I f*cked?
Yellow triangle sounds like download mode to me. See if any of the heimdall one click restores will see the phone n try to flash.
Also try using different USB cables, USB ports, different PC, etc...

In its current condition all it does is boot directly to that screen. It also won't stay powered off unless I pull the battery. Think I could take it to at&t? Just an educated guess, but that being the only image I'm getting means that there isn't really anything on my phone right now? I'm thinking maybe I could say that my dog tripped my usb cable while I was updating in kies?

Its looking like my real issue right now is either, usb cable or the connection port. Finally got it to a friend's comp and his dad who has years of experience is working on it. Took him a new samsung cable today so hopefully it'll work out. Thanks for the help everyone. Sorry for my panic attack.
