I've tried it all. Red cwm errors out when I try to delete data.
3e won't format my phone to stock either.
Odin won't recognize my device at all.
Thing is... other than recovery it works perfectly. I'm using it now as you can see. Am I stuck on Infused v1.3.2? It's nice and all but... you know.
Thanks.

probably a driver issuue for odin, you can bang your head over that or find a friend with a mac or linux box and use heimdall. mac osx and linux dont use drivers for most usb devices thus eliminating that hassel of device recognition.
what windows version? are you running as admin? what drivers did you install? how? did odin work before? which usb port on the pc?

Funny you say that. I use a mac with boot camp.
Can you elaborate more on the heimdall manuever?
And I had installed kies. Two Usb ports. Running as admin. Odin worked as normal until today.

ok running odin in a vm can be as issue to set up. you might need to manually install the drivers.
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
this is heimdall, it is an open source alternative to odin and has a mac version. if it is like the linux version you need to launch it from terminal. dont repartition unless you have to, heimdall wants bootloaders for repartition and that is an unnecessary risk. dont use the pit, just extract the pda.tar.md5 and the phone.tar.md5 files from one of the odin packages and flash the cache.rfs dbdata.rfs factoryfs.rfs zimage and modem.bin
disable voodoo first! (requires reboot, takes a while)
oh, is kies running in the system tray? that might prevent odin from seeing the phone.
heimdall is probably better for mac users anyway but closeing kies might be all you need to do.
Should I uninstall kies altogether?

no because it will likely uninstall the drivers with it. you should be able to find kies in the system tray(might depend on the version of kies, im not sure about kies mini) and just right click and close if that is the issue. im not saying it is, it might be something else.
any luck with heimdall? it looks like 1.2 doesnt have the frontend, just the comand line for osx, but 1.1.1 if you scroll down has the gui.

I'm getting an error trying to run this application. Seems like it too requires some behind the scenes work.
And I tried killing Kies with Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) but still no dice with Odin. I JUST used it Saturday to upgrade Infused...I just don't get why it doesn't work now.
Just as a tease...I suppose, I put my phone into Kies mode and lo and behold Odin noticed the phone. Of course, I can't flash in that mode.
I think my phone is doomed. Thank goodness it works at least for all other functions but...what in the world is going on?

what windows version? is bootcamp a vm type of thing or is it like just a way to select the os on boot up?
Boot Camp is just official apple software to dual boot Windows and Mac Os X.

im not sure if it is needed. but alot of programs ask for it, something makes me think odin or the drivers use it. i may be getting confussed with something else though, also kies may install it.
Windows is finally detecting my phone! Sorta....
I installed that microsoft software as well as Kies. Windows is now saying "Unknown Device has been connected".
And it says the device has malfunctioned and Windows has shut it down.
It seems everyone with the broken red cwm issue fixed it. But I'm trapped still...
And yes, I'm posting from my Infuse still.
Is there a way I can just add the files cwm needs to function?

I think I'm having pretty much the same issue. I'm on Win7x64. Kies installed. I put the phone in download mode, right click and run Odin3 v1.7 as admin, and it doesn't recognize the phone at all. I tried it both with the kies process running, and after killing it.
Yep. That's my story as well. When booted up normally Windows detects it right? "SAMSUNG_ANDROID".
I didn't think to try another usb cord. Hopefully it will work.

I've been trying to figure this out for hours...
I recently got a Charge (I also have an old Fascinate). and I'm trying to root it. It came out of the box with EE4. I primarily use a macbook pro, but have learned that I can't root EE4 with it. So, I booted up my old school desktop PC.
I can't get Odin 1.82 (or 1.3 for that matter) to recognize my Charge or my Fascinate. I've tried 4 different Samsung driver files, and the computer recognizes the phones in USB Storage mode just fine (telling me that the usb cable is working fine). I can transfer files and everything. And yes, the phones have the yellow road sign looking thing and say "Downloading..."
But when I put either in download mode:
USB device not Recognized.
One of the USB devices attached to this conputer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance click this message.
Basically, acts as though no driver is installed. and when I click the message and go to Update the driver (while still in download mode), I went to C:\Program Files\Samsung\USB Drivers\, but there's tons of folders and non of them contain a working driver for download mode (I tried them all).
I don't care about the Fascinate. I only mentioned it because I thought there was something to neither phone working. And this is the first (and only) time I've tried to get Odin to work (ie. it hasn't worked ever).
I've searched all over the forums, internet, and soul trying to figure this out. I can't be the only one this has happened to. Or I'm missing something really fking obvious.
I'm on an old custom made desktop with an AMD 1700+ processor running Windows XP (not 64 bit).

the pc itself doesn't sound like the problem, at least not directly... the only things I can suggest would be to either try different USB ports, a different cable, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34782489/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_I510_v1.3.1900.0.exe (which is made specifically for the Charge), disabling any antivirus that may be installed (or running Odin as administrator), and making sure USB debugging is ticked off under 'development' in applications settings
thanks for the quick response, but unfortunately, i've tried all of those except for disabling debugging. and, sadly, that didn't do the trick.
i've tried all of the usb cables i own (about 7). i've uninstalled and reinstalled divers from every link posted, and rebooted after each time. i've tried all of my usb ports on my computer. i've even cleared out the usb history in regedit.

well if it was just the Charge I would say there may be a problem with the phone or somethings not being done right, I have heard of some people having phones (Fascinate mostly) that won't go into download mode for Odin but will work perfectly with everything else... however both phones not working seems to be some kind of issue with the pc or cable, but I couldn't say for sure as I'm not knowledgable on the hardware of android phones

If anyone is an ADB guru here they may know how to do it with that, like pushing CWM to the phone and then you can probably flash to stock... I only know how to do basic things like install apk's and logcat
I know with most phones, you can't go back without root because the system doesn't let you. I'm used to the Droid incredible and incredible 2, where rooting and flashing roms is easy as pie with some knowledge of adb and cwm. none of the ed01, ee4, fu69 stuff to worry about. Odin seems very easy, and its damn near impossible to permanently brick your phone if you have it. BUT I can't get it to work.
is there an adb / non-Odin root method for ee4?
if I understand correctly, the gingerbreak method and one click method don't work with ee4. (I've tried both of those too)

Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I've tried using heimdall on my Mac and can't get it figured out. heimdall 1.3 (older heimdalls like 1.1.1 wont open) requires a framework.XML file which Odin roms don't have. I can create one but the only way I can do that is by using a .pit file (which creates a partition) which I'd have to take from other rom files. the only way can see it working is by Frankensteining it together to get it to flash which does doesn't seem right.
I could be completely misunderstanding how to get it to work. I could just use heimdall in terminal, but I don't understand it enough yet to attempt. heimdall 1.3 looks nothing like the way I thought it would (where I select all the recovery, bootloader, etc files individually)

I was trying to revert back to ed1 so that I could root from there with gingersnap / gingerbreak through adb
I downloaded the Verizon stock ed1 file and pit file, inserted all of the files in the correct place (param = parameters.rfs etc.) it got to uploading kernel and failed. now my phone boots into a picture of a cellphone then an arrow pointing at a computer with a yellow triangle with a !

You can either use Heimdall in place of Odin, or you can find a Windows machine and use it. Heimdall is much less straighforward than Odin. I know some people have gotten it to work, but most people just find a Windows machine.
its possible to run it in a vm box but I wouldn't use odin in anything but real windows just because you won't brick it if something goes wrong.. heimdall is also an option though I've never used it
mint 11 here btw

I've heard that Heimdall isn't compatible with the Charge. What I wound up doing was installed VirtualBox and XP, and used Odin from there. Worked like a charm.
I'd much prefer a native solution, though.

Hi, I want some help with this same issue. I'm not sure what forum etiquette is here, whether you guys prefer a bump of an old thread or that I just start a new one??
Anyway my phone is wigging out so I wanted to wipe and flash but I can't figure out how to do this since no PC/cord combo will recognize my phone, though it still charges. I wanted to use ROM Manager to flash OTA, but I can't since I can't figure out how to get cwm installed ota. I've been digging around the forum and googling for a couple days now to no avail.
Version - 2.3.5
Baseband - I727UCKJ2
Kernel - 2.6.35.11
It was rooted but I never flashed any roms. It randomly shuts itself off and upon a battery pull will get stuck in Odin dl mode? If i do a batt pull after that it will go straight back to Odin dl mode or it get's stuck in a vibration loop. Sometimes if I plug it in it will start up with a dead battery though?
Any ideas?
Should I just make a new thread on this??
clean the usb port on the phone, then the usb shall connect, i had the same prob its fixed now
Install Odin and see if it "sees" the phone in d/l mode.

Hi gang.
I recently ditched my Windows partition since I never use Windows anymore. I also went back to stock. It has been fine but I realized I want root for a few things.
My question is, is there a way to root 2.3.6 on Linux? Heimdall doesn't seem to be able to communicate with my device. Can't even grab a PIT. Obviously, not having Windows means no ODIN. And the one rooting method that did have a Linux script (zergrush over adb) didn't work.
I hope I'm missing something easy! If not I'm kinda hosed. I can't use ODIN to revert to 2.3.5 and I have no way of getting CWM on there.

My question is, is there a way to root 2.3.6 on Linux? Heimdall doesn't seem to be able to communicate with my device. Can't even grab a PIT. Obviously, not having Windows means no ODIN. And the one rooting method that did have a Linux script (zergrush over adb) didn't work.
I hope I'm missing something easy! If not I'm kinda hosed. I can't use ODIN to revert to 2.3.5 and I have no way of getting CWM on there.

Just throwing an idea out there. I have not tried it so wait till a more experienced person confirms. I may be talking nonsense!! I don't want you to have a paperweight
Is it possible using adb to manually carry out all the steps in the updater script inside the superuser zip?

Good thought. I tried it, and unfortunately after running zergRush I could not remount. This leads me to believe that zergRush doesn't work on 2.3.6 on our phone. Any other suggestions? I wish Heimdall+cwm would work. That's so easy! :-/
Oh well. I guess I'll bring my USB cable to another computer.
