pls try this one.

Are you putting phone into download mode when using odin
First open Odin
Turn off phone...
Hold down both volume up and Down at same time. While holding them down plug in USB you will access download mode and Odin should see the phone
now make sure you downloaded that firmware i linked on that page with Odin and extract it after you download.
Then on Odin click on PDA and locate and select the file PDA_SOJU_GRH78_85442_SIGNED in the extracted folder. Once you do that just click start it will flash the stock firmware and will take like 10-20 secs and should be all set

[Q] Bricked phone. Odin and Oneclick does not recognize my device. Help?

I am not sure if i am on the right section. Just kindly move this thread to the right section if im wrong. Thanks.
So, i have flashed Cyanogenmod Rom on my GT 15800 phone using Odin Multidownloader v 2.252.
The flash was successful, then i tweaked on some settings on the recovery and got my phone bricked.
I can still access download mode through voldown+homekey+powerbutton.
Before, i can also access the recovery mode.
I have tried odin to reflash again CWM on my phone, but is stucked on factory.rfs for an hour so i tried to abort it. Closed Odin and unplugged the USB cable.
Now, i cant access the recovery mode. Whenever i open my phone and access recovery mode, i get this.
And Odin doesnt recognize my phone anymore.
Kies aren't running also.

I have faced the same problem with my home PC. But it detected with my office PC. Maybe windows stopped detecting it due to errors in drivers. Try on another pc or format your windows installation.

After trying it with another PC, you were able to unbrick your phone?

Try re-installing your drivers,that may help you out

it looks like you need a 32bit Windows version to use OneClick Unbrick
give it a try on another pc

I have the Problem
hello i have the same problem.
im using Odin 3 but it doesnt reconized it, i got all the drivers, the oneClick Unbrick was avaible to brick back the device, but now i cant flash it anymore, because Odin doesnt reconized it.
ive tried everything please help me.
Im running everything on Windows 7 32bits

Try this.
Take out the battery.now,while the battery is out,plug your phone into pc,and while holding vol down+home+power and phone plugged in,someone that can help you needs to put the battery while you are holding all this.it worked that way for me,i had the odin doesnt recognize problem.i tried two pc's,it didnt work.

First of all remember if you have usb debugging is ON.Secondly try on other pc Desktop,Laptop,Macbook and different versions.Thirstly use odin 3.Finally if it's stuck it's software problem try searching the right Stock roms for your phone.Hope this helps..Be careful with modding your phone you can no longer use android.

Try flashing zerofill tar first through force recovery mode. Refer to my old post from profile for step by step procedure.

Help with fixing my phone (Please help)

I am going to give you the complete situation so you guys can help with the best of your ability. Over the summer I was at my Grandmas house with my cousins and we were playing Minecraft on the iPod and iPad. I knew that they had it in the Android market and tried to get it. No luck because it was not compatible with my device (Motorola Fire XT 530). I read up on a tutorial to get any app in the store and that was to change the build.prop settings to nexus x or something so I could get it. I rooted my phone and tried it but it screwed up my keyboard and an error occured on screen. So I went into this program I had and completely deleted the file(build.prop, still have a back up though). I tried to turn on the phone but it was stuck in a boot loop . So it is still in the boot loop and I cant turn on my phone.
Things I have tried so far:
1. Plugging it into my computer (wont show up)
2. Clearing my memory and cache in recovery mode (still wont turn on)
3. ADB (wont show up, not even in recovery mode)
4. Using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920446 (Was able to get into the flash mode but MSM Flash 7227 wont install correctly for some reason (have updated drivers))
5. Cant use ODIN because my phone cant go into download mode
6. Using default recovery (not clockwork, dont think I can get it because I cant turn on phone) to update the file (didnt work because apparently Motorola locks there bootloader)
I dont think I left anything else out and am looking for a solution. I also have default recovery which may be an issue.
Thanks a lot for reading

First of all you cant use Odin to flash Motorola Devices because it is meant for Samsung phones.
Secondly answer these questions:
1. In PC which OS are you using?
2. Have you tried reinstalling RSD lite then rebooting?
Having stock recovery is no issue because you can't get any other in this phone.
It is easy to get it back working.
I suggest you to try some other PC.
OR
Follow these steps as in order.
1. Uninstall RSD lite.
2. Uninstall Motorola Drivers.
3. Now first install Motorola Drivers the RSD lite.
I think this may work for you.

I am using windows 7 on a laptop which may be the problem because it may be a hub not directly connected to the mother board. Thank you and I will try your suggestion.
Btw thanks for all your help over the last couple days.
I also used this on two other laptops but the MSM Flash still wont install for some unknown reason. So I dont think using RSD lite is the problem.

Here's the solution
I found the solution to your problem.
Download the attachment.
Extract it.
Copy the file in the extracted folder and paste it in C:/windows/system32/drivers
Reboot your PC
And yes you must connect it directly without any hub or something.
Actually these are the RSD lite drivers which I think your PC was unable to install correctly.

Okay I will try this when I get home from school. If this doesnt work could you try sending me the MSM Flash7227 driver?

So locate that to C:/windows/system32/drivers/the-file-i-gave-you
It will install its drivers.
OR
Alternate way is to install Motorola Software Update from here
It will install drivers automatically as it also needs phone to be switched in flash mode(i.e. through flash drivers) to update phone software.

This didnt work because to update drivers my computer has to recognize the phone which it cant. I would need the driver Flash MSM7227 for it to work. If you could find that EXACT file on your computer and send it to me that would be great. I tried the two things you stated but it says the phone is not connected so I cant download the updates.
This must be very frustrating for you but thanks for your help.

Sorry to say, but you kill boatloader of your phone. That mean msm7227 device.

Don't know about the problem.
Maybe 64-bit system.
And don't download moto update. Download and install only Moto software update "tool".
I sent you the same drivers. But I think the problem is my 32-bit system or your 64-bit.
No, I am not frustrated, don't worry. :laugh:

Boot loop with usb malfunction error

Hi Guys,
I need some advice.
I bought a Skyrocket on eBay that was rebooting, I figured I would just flash it with odin to stock or via cwm and fix it but when I got it I noticed that the first owner already had CWM installed. 5.8.1.3
Let me list the issues and steps taken.
When booting to the preinstalled CWM it reboots as the logo pops up.
When booting normally it will reboot after the Samsung logo.
When in Download mode i receive a usb device malfunction error on my pc, I tried 3 systems 3 different drivers and 3 different usb cables.
My power button is not stuck as I can put the battery in without it turning if self on, I have to manually turn it on myself.
I took it apart and its clean no water damage.
I then read about the tooth pick fix and for the first time ever it was detected today on my pc but before I got to flash the error came up, usb device has malfunctioned.
I was wondering if maybe the first owner was flashing cwm and the usb port malfunctioned and caused the soft brick?
Do you guys think this phone can be saved? eBay has the usb module selling, my rev is 4.5.
Do you think if I buy that I will be able to fix it?
I'm in south America so if I do buy it I wont get until January as shipping from China takes time so I'm asking for advice before I waste time.
From the image attached you can see that it still has the official Samsung firmware but the counter has the number 1.
Could that have been from when the first owner flashed CWM?
Any advice is welcomed.

First off how long does it take for the actual on USB malfunction at a pop up
Second I would look into vincom method for updating without USB or is it dead USB 1 of them too
Third I would try flashing cwm in the recovery tar because it very quick and really simple try to find a way to make the USB stable
Anif a USB replacement you're more than likely that the solder to the board hopefully it might be something simple however I've found the it can very difficult
Good luck

It only takes a second before it pops up with the error, ill do a search for the dead or no usb method.

I was able to fix it, for future googlers.
The usb port seems defective and ad such gave the error usb device has malfunctioned when in download mode.
To fix it I took a shaved down match stick as I was out of tooth picks and gently pushed up the tongue of the usb port.
After that odin saw it and I flashed it back to stock.
Phone fine now, ill just order the usb module online and change it but for now I have a working S2

[Q] Can't connect to pc

Hello all, so i have a problem. I have a completely stock samsung infuse 4g, running 2.3.6 gingerbread. I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom as i have done before on my last phone, the samsung captivate. I have been running into a problem that continues to annoy me... When i connect my phone to my pc via usb, i get the message on my phone telling me to choose the method i would like to connect, i choose mass storage as i would like to make a backup before i do anything, however, when i choose it, i get the green android logo with the button at the bottom that says "connect to pc". When i click it, the screen thats supposed to show up, shows up, the orange android, however, almost immediately it dissapears before i can even go to "My Computer" to look through the files, and this will happen every time i try it. This has happened since i first got the phone two years ago and has never fixed itself. I have tried multiple usb cables and multiple computers, all to no avail. I'm not new to androids or rooting, but this is just blowing my mind, i cant figure it out. If you guys could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.

Hello all, so i have a problem. I have a completely stock samsung infuse 4g, running 2.3.6 gingerbread. I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom as i have done before on my last phone, the samsung captivate. I have been running into a problem that continues to annoy me... When i connect my phone to my pc via usb, i get the message on my phone telling me to choose the method i would like to connect, i choose mass storage as i would like to make a backup before i do anything, however, when i choose it, i get the green android logo with the button at the bottom that says "connect to pc". When i click it, the screen thats supposed to show up, shows up, the orange android, however, almost immediately it dissapears before i can even go to "My Computer" to look through the files, and this will happen every time i try it. This has happened since i first got the phone two years ago and has never fixed itself. I have tried multiple usb cables and multiple computers, all to no avail. I'm not new to androids or rooting, but this is just blowing my mind, i cant figure it out. If you guys could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.

This method is only going to let you see the internal SD memory . Its not a true backup of your system. Just the storage part. I would like to see a picture of the screen when it is green . This after you selected Mass storage. What version of windows. ? what USB driver for INFUSE are you using. Google account has backed up mostly everything. NOT the ROM. I will be flashing the i997ucb3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar Using the Odin Method. Let me know if I can help.

i am going to try the method that was suggested, using ODIN to flash everything, including the root. I just gotta see if i can ever get kies to recognize my phone....... once it can i'll begin the ODIN process, but i cant start it till i know if my computer can even communicate with it. and i am using all drivers as provided by the latest version of kies. Windows 7.
[EDIT] i keep getting an error when the drivers try to install, which prevents my computer from being able to recognize my phone.

Not trying to double post, but i have come to the conclusion that i cannot get this phone to connect to my computer ODIN cant find it, kies cant find it, nothing. and yes it is on the official samsung binary, official gingerbread, everything. I have restarted muy computer multiple times after deleting and re installing drivers, nothing works i dont get it. This is the only thing stopping me........
