Hmm...try to flash your official firmware using ODIN

I've tried a few other forums but haven't got any replies, I guess since the Galaxy 5 isn't such a popular device. I figured if there's anyone who can help me they will be here though.
I wanted to put CWM on it so I could get a CM7 port on. Unfortunately it's just about impossible for it to get detected on USB. I've installed Kies (and even the generic USB drivers found in the SDK). In 2 days I only got it to connect once, and then I went and bricked it.
The one time it finally connected I ran Odin and tried loading CWM onto it. It still hadn't finished after half an hour so I figured it ended with an error that was never displayed. So I unplugged it and as expected - brick! I can get into download (upgrade/firmware) mode so I think it can be fixed if I can get CWM on it (and just install the CM7 port I had originally intended to put on).
Problem is I cannot get the darn thing to connect! to my computer I've tried two separate PCs, one running Window 7 x64 and another running XP x32. Is there a a certain process of connecting things? I haven't ran across anyone making mention of one.
Has anyone else experienced USB problems like this with Samsung phones? Would it even be possible to flash CWM on after it's been bricked like this? When I boot (normally) all I get is an image showing a phone and a PC with and exclamation error connecting the two. Please help!
Try to look for stock firmware on the forum.xda-developers.com and flash via ODIN. You need to be able to put the phone into download mode, so maybe get an USB jig. That should do the trick. Odin has to recognize your phone. First of all right click on the ODIN executable and select "Run as administrator" on windows. Plug the phone in the DL mode and wait until it appears as active in Odin. Then flash the ROM and pit file. (Don't use ODIN one click). If ODIN does not recognize your phone try a different USB port or reinstall Kies. The Kies trick was which I used and it was able to recognize my phone.
Thanks, martin0176. I can still manage to get the phone into download mode - it's getting recognized by a PC that's the problem.
Could you tell me more about the pit file? I only have an ops file.
Try a different cable. I was having the same problem on the Samsung Continuum and it turned out that the cable was working for power, but not for data.
So sad. Just bought this phone. I tried to upgrade to ICS via but used the Galaxy S firmware (gti9000) by mistake...turns out ICS isn't out yet for my phone, the SPHD710. While flashing I managed to upload the "modem" file but when it was writing the file (it says "wait 2 minutes for write") odin froze.
and now..
Here's the situation. The phone will boot into the gti9000 firmware (i.e I get to home screen--so I think I'm semi-bricked), but WiFi won't work and the phone crashes a lot. Basically like a "safe-mode". Here are the conditions I'm dealing with
1) Windows 7 will not recognize phone when plugged in. It charges but does not show up in device manger
2) Odin does not recognize the phone at all. It was recognized for a split second on my laptop when I was installing/reinstalling drivers. Can't replicate this.
So basically I'm stuck. I tried going into recovery mode and applying update from SDcard (to revert to stock) but i the SD card won't mount
Anybody help??? PLEASE. I don't want a $500 paperweight.
I can give as many details as you like.
Thanks so much!
Hi there,
I've read every kind of threads here and no one works for me. I rooted my Samsung GT-I9000 and all worked well, then the phone started acting crazy, my root was gone and when I boot the phone I come to the usual screen where you enter pincode but after that the popup screens start, multiple popups saying that twlauncher crashed, media, acore etc.. so I cant get to the screen where I can enable usb debugging. I can enter the stock recovery and my PC can contact the phone, but when I press vol down + home + power so I get the download mode the PC cant find the phone, not in win7 or in Linux. I have tried every kind of driver there is for Samsung but no one works that make it possible for the PC to find the phone when it is in download mode, win7 list it under "unknown device" and NO driver at ALL works so win7 can reqonize the phone. I've tried installing Kies how many times I dont know and uninstalling, updated SDK, uninstalled every USB driver and even the hubs and installed them again, updated win7.. what can I do to flash the phone!?!? Because Odin, no matter old from new; cant find the phone in DL mode, same with linux. And in stock recovery, I wiped cache and data but the problem is still there when I enter the OS after enter my pin...
How can I flash my phone without PC finding the phone in DL mode and no USB debugging enabled? Or how to flash CWM so I can flash a ROM from SD? Please help!!

As I wrote, my desktop is under Linux and the laptop under Win7 and none can reach the phone, both computers can only detect the phone in Recovery mode, but the laptop under Win7 only detect the phone as offline, Linux on the other hand can reboot phone into recovery from recovery, to download mode and reboot normal. Already tried to use Ubuntu 13 Live and it cant detect the phone in DL mode either. And tried different cables also. And if I find a recovery or CWM, then what? Dont I need to get phone into DL mode to flash something?
But in Linux I've got a small breakthrough, Heimdall can detect the phone know, but fails to flsah anything. Maybe wrong files or something..? But anyhow, if Heimdall now can detect the phone and it couldnt before; know I just need the right files to flash.
Just find a friend who owns Windows desktop/ laptop, download stock from Sammobile, flash stock via Odin. If not, try Odin mobile...
I have a TF101 SN60 - SBK1. I was trying today to root it to instal a stupid USB modem app and i bricked it.
Right now it is in recovery mode and i can`t get it out. Tried all the combination of the buttons and still doesn`t work.
I tried to reput the stock rom from Asus and i had success(2 times) but was still in recovery mode and after that i tried once more and it failled.. now i have 7 " !!!!! phone update failled !!!!" and i am very pissed and mad as i do not know what to do no more. I wasted 5 hours today trying to do something to it but i can`t no more. Please help me with some tips or maybe help me put it back to it`s normal state. Thank you.

Have you tried APX mode?
I would try another PC, or get a new charging cable. It is possible for the USB cable to charge but not work for USB. Happened to me.
I have a galaxy core 2
Android 4.4.2
Quad-core 1.2 Ghz
800 mb of memory ram
4 Gb internal memory
Now my problem is... i formated by recovey mode, doing wipe data and factory reset, then my phone restart like new, i noticed a update and then i accepted to update my phone, everything fine, when finished download my phone's update, it was asking me to install that update files, so i accepted again... and my phone restarted, installing update files, everything seems to be fine and then it fails, like 95% of the progress, installation was aborted and it reboot and stay like that, like a loop, i got that bootloop, just for updating by my phone... can anyone help me?
@LeoONeon Download the firmware an install it via Odin, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
sorry, i should said before... but i tried to do that, unfortunately won't work
i look for 3 roms of my phone, all official, same model, and none worked, odin always fail when try to setup connection. But before, when my phone was fine, a driver (SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device) fail to initiate, just in download mode, when i connected my phone by its system all drivers worked fine, only in download mode i had problem, like i have now, but now i do that: unninstall that CDC driver and disconnect my phone, then i reinstall samsung usb drivers, when finish i reconnect my phone, only when i do that works... i don't know if is because of that odin always fail to setup connection, odin is my only option? I wanted to use recovery mode, but when i try my phone reboot without showing that mode
@LeoONeon Take the battery off, and pu it again and try it, for now Odin is the only way to flash the official ROM, try in a different PC, may be that is the problem
I tried to take off the battery, all night long, yesterday, and still boot to that update screen. And about trying a different PC, except my pc, i only have a iMac here, but i'll try, and another PC from some lan house. I'll back here to say if worked. Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:
@LeoONeon Good luck bro! the tell us if works
