HELP. I have been trying to use GTG's ultimate unbrick and retun to stock for 4 days now. I got phone second hand and thought i was getting stock but rooted then found out he actually deleted preinstalled apps!!! I purchased this phone to get the OTA GB upgrade and can't until returned to stock. I installed the samsung drivers got confirmation from my computer , got to putting phone in download mode..which it does but ODIN will not recognize device so nothing shows in COM. I went through the steps anyway...nothing!! debugging on, debugging off, antivirus on, off.. I don't understand. computer..XP said drivers installed. won't work in DL mode. I try to install drivers again PC says already installed. I went to a friends with a brand new pc with win 7. "found new hardware, installing drivers. same thing...NOT RECOGNOIZED ....I ran into this very issue when trying to upgrade my captivate...get into DL then NOTHING. i AM FAIRLY NEW AT THIS BUT NOT STUPID. i read others that have same issue but i find no fixes.
anyone ...please...GTG??

I am using Odin from the unbrick app. Don't really know how to use a different version. Using the OEM USB cord. Funny thing when i go to control panel to uninstall previous drivers...they aren't in the list but when i search I find all kinds. When i try to install new ones it says they are already there and to uninstall first. Anyone know if when i do the search and they come up can I delete from there??

Try Heimdall. Odin stopped working for me also and once I started using heimdall it's great and faster than odin

Heimdall under Linux works great for me - no clue how well it works in Windows.
It seems like Odin is pretty screwy and requires all sorts of settings Heimdall doesn't.

After i updated my Samsung with kies .. it keeps giving me this error
The application device management (process com.wssyncmldm) has stopped unexpectedly.
Solutions??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Is this an error you continually encounter or did it show up once and hasn't since? I know that on my phone, probably because of not doing clean and proper wiping/formating/permissions between flashes, I encounter application errors that I need to force close from time to time. But these applications still work just fine 95% or more of the time.
Its continuous... I've never flashed.. Just rooted and updated with mini kies for more memory... Was fine when first rooted... Problem came after kies update
I pretty much can't run any app with out it booting me out after five minutes

flash the bali kernel on your stock kd1 rom using odin. then go into cwm and clear caches and fix permissions
One thing... I nubishly did the clockwork recovery thing with rom manager befor knowing it dosnt work... Are there any steps I should take befor flashing
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
i know you did. i read your other thread. do yourself a favor and make sure you tell us everything about the problem next time. it was probably rom manager that contributed to the problem.
and no, just odin to a stock rom and start from there. make sure you follow directions on the op and if you have any questions, search first and then ask.
got it..Thanks for the help

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

If you updated to v21y with kdz updater then use the same method that worked for you but select the v21e kdz file for use.
Get the v21e kdz file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24599112
thank you Core memory
Done in 5 minutes ,
Back to ICS
Flashing v21E from 21Y did not work for me. told me that I was up to date. Had to flash using "KDZ_FW_UPD" and make sure you flash using windows xp and not xp mode for windows 7. which failed for me but may work for you.
i flashed on windows 7 32 bit,
not a single problem

Using the update app called "KDZ_FW_UPD" it would crash every time. But using windows xp on a partition Harddisk worked fine. Windows xp mode also failed for me, when it disconnects the usb is does not reconnect it. even if i reconnect it it wont go any further.
I have tried this on windows 7, XP, even vista just to see. I have followed multiple guides and used multiple methods. I just can't get it to work and it has become an unhealthy obsession. I neeeed v21e back. Does anybody have ANY tips to get this to work beyond what's already out there?
