I am having an issue with odin 1.85. Two days ago I had flashed my Skyrocket to the leaked ICS. I had done so by using the one-click method. The flash worked out great but now I am tring to flash back to stock. I am doing this because I did not do my research enough and found a better flash to use.
When I plug the phone into the computer it is reconized and all the drivers are installed. Odin sees my phone and the correct port it is connected to. I have clicked PDA and picked the stock rom like I am suppose to. After I put the phone in download mode I plug it in and wait for odin to reconize it. Everything is working the correct way up until odin tries to flash. I keep getting the " Can't open serial (COM) port" error.
I am not new to modding phones. I have done this for many years I just have not ever posed here. So before I get the usual responses, I have uninstall and reinstalled all the USB drivers, Kies, changed USB ports, and had downloaded Odin 1.84 & 1.85. None of these common fixes help. I have also made sure that Kies is not running while I am tring to flash.
Any help would be great. Thank you ahead of time.
When you open Odin, are you right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator"? If not, doing this might help.
I've had this happen but I found that it usually works after a few attempts if it fails at first. Or, another common solution that you didn't mention is trying to do it from a different computer.
Also, which stock tar are you flashing? There are a few versions out there.
The best one to use is found at http://www.sammobile.com (open an account if you haven't already and search for the i727 firmware).
When I've had trouble with Odin I've found sometimes that using a previous version will help resolve the problem. If you have kies uninstall it. The drivers will stick

I am running Odin as Admin. I am using SGH-I727_ucKJ2-k0nane for the stock rom.
I will try another computer when I get home. Im at work now and all I have is my personal laptop and that seems to not want to help.

Just to reiterate, you do NOT want to use that tar. It is not stock and it will trip your flash counter. Use the one from sammobile.

So I finally got home and used my other laptop. Everything worked great! I used the firmware from Sammobile but it still tripped my counter. Not a big deal but it did for whatever reason. I think the problem was the laptop. I am not sure why. It doesn't have bluetooth or anything odd that would be using the com ports. Its a Toshiba if you guys see anyone else with the same problem tell them to switch laptops.

I was tweeting with a samsung helpdesk person. Here is what she said about kies mini:
"Currently Kies Mini doesn't perform any functions for the Captivate. As for 2.2 I don't have any information but we are working on it. "
If I flash stock JF6 then does it mean that I cannot get the JH7 update through kies mini? Anyone recently (last few days or so) did this kind of update through kies mini? Help is appreciated. Thanks

She's right, as far as compared to regular Kies, which has lots of functions. On the Captivate all it can do is update the ROM. You should still be able to update to JH7 with it.

Do the flash back to JF6, using Odin3 One-Click.
After done phone boots, wait till done, do a Master-Clear with Odin3
Kies-Mini will then work for you
You could use the OTA JH7 also
Using Kies-Mini is the way I would go/went
Good Luck

Did you try kies mini or the full version kies that we can download from the non-US samsung site? My kies mini works just fine to identify my captivate. Have you put the phone on USB debugging and kies(firmware update) modes before connecting the USB? Also, you need to open the kies mini on your comp before you connect the cable to your phone. If you did all these but still facing problem then I am sorry I don't have a clue

One more thing. Were you on stock touchwiz launcher? You need to be on touchwiz to get it working!

If you have flashed a custom rom, modem, or kernal, and are receiving a "Unregistered Device" or "The update could not be installed" errors in Kies, you might need to restore your /efs folder from backup after flashing Odin stock JF6 and rooting. (I used adb to restore my backed up folder.) Then reboot a couple of times. After verifying your restore to be a success, flash with Odin once more and you should be good to update to JH7. This process worked for me just yesterday. I think the error has something to do with product codes inside of an encrypted file called nv_data.bin. There are guides for the backup and restoral process in the dev sections and in the i9000 area. Just run a search for "restore nv_data.bin" and it should turn up in the first few results. Also trying using different usb ports has worked for me in the past.

hey guys, need some help from the guru's here. trying some of the newer latest roms and kinda got stuck here. for some reason im not able to use odin(1.7 or 1.81) to go back to stock. i am able to use the heimdall one click versions (stock froyo, uclb3, and entropy DD kernel) but thats it. im on gb bootloaders and heimdall did ask to download some new drivers, wondering if that was why?
been having problems with this touch screen on several roms and was going to call about warranty. if they want it back, it needs to be stock stock.
thanks in advance for any help

How are you entering download mode, manually or through extended power menu/toggles? Powermenu/toggles never worked for me I always had to go manually for it to be detected
Have you tried different USB ports? For me only one USB port works with Odin...even though the rest work out of download mode for transferring files
You probably do, but do you have drivers installed?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
doesnt matter if i enter download mode manually with the button/data cable method or through extended power menu.
im using the same usb port i've always used that has always worked for me. i'll try a different one.
also, i do have drivers installed because i have used odin in the past.
i honestly think it has something to do with the drivers that were installed when i used heimdall one click, they were a different set of drivers. i just dont know how to reinstall odin drivers or put it back the way it was beforehand.
i do have a replacement device on the way and i would like to have uckh1 installed before i ship it back to them.
Reload drivers. Heimdall drivers aren't used with Odin. Adam O just posted some comments on this in another thread recently.

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 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

Let's step back here does out prompt you for drivers?

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)

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. .

Thank you very much next time I root I'll make sure to backup everything and pay really close to everything. Thank you all for helping.
Okay long story short my phone (Galaxy S 4G) is stuck on the screen where it shows a Phone, !, and a Computer. I did some research on the Internet and read something saying that this is an alternative Download Mode. Basically, what I am trying to do is Unroot my phone / revering back to stock, but did some dumb things to the point where I am stuck on this screen. I am currently using Odin to do all of this, but Odin doesn't recognize my phone for some odd reason because its been read before. So I did some research and read that I had to uninstall then reinstall some drivers then reboot my computer then do everything again. I did that, but Odin is still not recognizing my phone. I tried plugging my phone in all USB ports of my computer and its still not recognizing my phone. What do you think I should be doing? I definitely need some help and it would be greatly appreciated if any of you can help me.
Tried a different cable? Wiped data/factory reset?
It's in download mode, that's a good thing.

Well, yes it's in Download mode, but the alternative one with the phone, !, and computer. Also I can't wipe/data factory reset unless theirs a way to get that if so let me know. The version of Odin I am using 1.7, so I tried v1.80 and the latest version which is 3.07. Yes, I have Kies installed with the drivers as well. I also looked into that heimdall one click, but there is too much stuff to do and download that my computer cant handle because it is really old so maybe if there is another way around this that would be helpful other than that I don't know what else to do.
Whatever you did that got it there... was perfect. If you had just flashed it once more when you got to that screen, your phone would have been working ever since.
Now? No clue what you've done with drivers and the like since back then. Try a one-click in a new USB port without installing any drivers?
Does the computer see the device and not Odin or do both see nothing (any beeps ?).
Are you doing the battery drop in while it's connected to the usb? Or booting it (into download mode) then plugging it into computer?
Which Rom are you trying to flash?
Windows should be able to do the one click. Which version (of Windows) are you using?

Odin only recognizes your port only if you actually in the download mode; the one with the picture of the android robot and the word 'downloading.' Here is what you need to do:
1) open Odin program;
2) remove battery from your phone;
3) plug USB cable into computer and your phone;
4) press the up and down volume keys at the same time;
5) As you hold down the volume keys, put the battery back on the phone, and wait for about 3 seconds. You should be able to see the download robot. If it doesn't work, try it again.

My advice to you is to use your new phone as is; don't try to root or install customize roms <<<---that was a painful experience, but I've mastered the timing to the point it takes only one try now.
If you are a first timer, it is not easy to get into download mode. You have to do a couple of times to get a hang of it. It becomes an art form - just like getting into DFU mode on an iPhone for first time.

I'm wondering why no one told OP to use Heimdall One Click back to stock KJ6...
Its really not that difficult dude! Its scarier than it really is . Trust when we tell you. Its gonna be more time consuming than anything else bout 2 maybe 3 hours ...this includes downloading, deleting, re downloading, connecting, disconnecting, "If u can get Odin to open and running on your old computer.You should be able to get Java, Bhundvens 1 click ..and Or Gremlin remover".!!! Kies is only good if you want the Samsung drivers once you've got your phone back to full fledge stock. If you want to save the $130 its gonna cost you for a phone through (Assurion)that in reality isn't worth buying again your better off using that towards a New phone trust me bro I'm no dev and don't speak they're language Lol (I wish) I personally know from frustrating trial and error! Believe that u can do it and when you do it you'll be like wow that's it!!! Just try being more cautious homez.

So I bought my Skyrocket about a year ago. It was rooted and running Embryo 3.0.
I upgraded it to Embryo 5 and even 7.
When upgrading to Embryo 7, my computer wouldn't detect the phone. I ended up deciding that the USB port on the phone was dead. So i just pu the ROM on a SD card and flashed through CWM.
Last week, I got a call and when I tired to answer it the phone froze. Upon reboot the phone got stuck on the Cymbaline logo.
I then decided to try and get it back to stock. I put it into ODIN mode and connected it to my PC. The ODIN software recognized it and i was able to flash it back to ATT stock JB.
Now Windows again fails to recognize the phone. Which is strange to me as I was able to flash through USB with ODIN.
My question is, how can I get a custom ROM such as Embryo 7 which I like a lot, onto the Skyrocket without being able to root the phone?

You may look at vincom's other stickies too, I think you need to get a custom recovery on your phone.

Thanks. But I already found that guide. Its for getting the phone back to stock with a dead USB port.
I've already gotten the phone back to stock, now I need to figure how to get it rooted and how to flash Embryo 7 back onto the phone.

I think embryo 7 has problems with the partitions getting corrupted somehow, so if you wanna be in the same boat again go ahead, but I suggest flashing something else. Does your phone still charge with a broken USB port??

It charges fine. Just when I connect it to Windows I can hear it connect, and a second later it disconnects.
It seems like a software issue though, because ODIN recognized the phone phone in Download mode. And I was able to flash to stock.
Ill have to check out some other ROMs then, I really liked Embryo.
Looks like I can put CWM back on through ODIN and then flash a ROM through CWM.
