Does Odin, Heimdall and Oneclick(still heimdall) work on all s5570s??
I flashed my phone with the wrong recovery image and the phone boots only to Download mode, emergency download mode and the samsung logo. I have since tried Odin but it gets stuck on "plcatform verification", tried heimdall (after I painstakingly created a heimdall package for the galaxy mini) but it gets stuck at "Error: could not initialize protocol" and one click simply says my phone is not connected.
So I'm now wondering since this is a soft brick,why are these methods failing even after trying all suggestions on this forum. I have tried this on Open Suse and Windows Xp and I have also seen a trail of frustrated owners who bricked their phones. Has someone found a solution to this black sheep that stray from normal methods of unbricking.
I believe the Galaxy mini is the most troublesome device to own when customizing it.

Hey guys,
I tried flashing stock JH7 after disabling lagfix. When I tried to reboot, I ended up in a boot loop and the phone kept getting stuck on the "AT&T World Phone" screen. I can access stock Samsung recovery and Download Mode, but, although I tried numerous methods, Odin3 doesn't recognize my phone in Download Mode. I also don't have any update.zip or backup on my phone that I can flash in stock recovery.
Is there any way I can fix my phone without Odin3? If not, how can I get Odin3 to work on my computer? I'm running Windows 7 HP x64 on my laptop, and I have adb installed, but can't access adb shell for some reason.
I searched numerous threads but couldn't come up with a solution. Please help!

Have you tried reinstalling your drivers?
My laptop won't recognize my phone anymore for the Android UMS drivers so I've been using my desktop to flash using Odin.
I've tried, but Odin only recognizes my phone in recovery mode and doesn't recognize it in download mode.
Fixed at last!
I finally fixed my phone! I found out that I was using the wrong USB drivers -_-
I installed the correct drivers, and voila, my phone was recognized by Odin3
Sorry for the n00b error
Hi all. So I soft-bricked my Infuse installing a ROM via ROM Manager yesterday. Basically I can get it to the Samsung logo screen, no further. I can get it into download mode, but not recovery mode. I've tried using GTG's Unbrick on a Windows PC, but no matter which drivers & cables I use (and I've tried them all), I can't get the PC to recognize the Infuse in DL mode. I've given up on that one.
So now I'm trying to get Heimdall 1.3 to work on my Mac. As soon as I get the firmware loaded in Heimdall and get to the point where you click "start", Heimdall just instantly says "flash completed successfully", but nothing happens on the phone itself. So I'm thinking the Mac isn't even seeing the phone, and Heimdall is just spinning in a circle. Any thoughts on this? I've read so many threads and tried so many things in the last 24 hours...and I really don't want to send the thing to Samsung for a month. Thanks in advance!

Kris, I don't have a Mac but this may get you started.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/9890-using-heimdall-on-mac-how-to-2nd-post/
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.
OK so I have around 14 hours trying to root my Sprint Galaxy SIII with no luck what so ever. I have tried every method I can find for windows, I've tried every port on my computer, I unistalled kies, tried the "samsung GS3 toolkit" I've tried every recovery image and .tar file I can find. Bottom line Odin will not work for me. It recognizes my device and starts to run but it gets stuck on recovery.img or sometimes boot.img and it won't get past it. I tried Odin 3.07 and Odin 3 V 1.85 and a bunch of other versions. Half of them crash my computer and give me the blue screen of death and the other half just hangup like i mentioned. I'm using windows 7 home 64bit edition on my Asus laptop. I've updated windows and even tried restoring windows. NOTHING WORKS!!! lol some one please tell me they can help?? Also I tried booting the phone into recovery mode and rooting it that way by flashing Superuser zips and recovery images. Someone please help.
I'm not sure if my phone is soft bricked or hard bricked. My phone was having some kind of firmware issues so like an idiot and not backing anything up, I tried to flash a stock firmware on my phone with odin and it failed. My phone is not rooted or anything it is complete stock and now when I try to boot up the phone I'm not sure if it goes into recovery automatically or what but when I turn it on it goes to this screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". If this is not recovery mode then I can only go in download mode I have tried going into recovery mode. I've tried odin several times, using different usb cables and different usb ports on my computer and still nothing, I have used Samsung Kies and Kies 3 they both fail and then tell me that I need to do emergency recovery from another computer with a code but it is just blank when it comes up it does not give me any codes. I've even went to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery and still shows no codes or anything it is still blank.
Suggestions?
I fixed it, for anyone who may have the similar problem this will help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-sm-s975l-twrp-4-4-2-custom-roms-t3009757
For me, all I needed to do was flash twrp recovery and my phone started working again so I decided not to mess with anything else
