I followed this post and ran the OneClick.jar that ultimately poped up a One-Click unbrick. when i pressed unsoft brick button it just failed.
Im trying to flash the ROM using Odin but it keeps failing at modem.bin and when i load the same ROM in heimdall it says firmware.xml not found.
You cant flash an Odin rom with heimdall

When it fails, it should give an error message of some kind. I'm not sure which one you're trying, but give this a shot:
[Heimdall][One-Click] The T959V Heimdall One-Click Collection [05/20/2012]
Follow the instructions on that post and it should allow you to get back to stock. If not, post whatever errors you receive back in this thread. Also, if you have the Samsung drivers installed, uninstall them before messing with Heimdall. Sometimes they don't get along and cause a conflict.

I'm trying to flash my friend's Galaxy s 4g, but I'm having an issue with Odin failing to flash.
I originally used Vibrant 3g .pit and .tar files, not knowing it wouldn't work on the 4g model. Anyway, that semi bricked it, while still allowing it to get to the download mode.
So I figured I needed the "custom" .tar file to flash the 4g model. I booted up Odin and opened just the .tar that's in the noob guide. This time all I got from Odin is a red panel saying FAIL! It happened during the cache.rfs process. And now I get a new download mode screen. Before it used to be the android digging, now it's just an image of a phone and a computer with an exclamation mark in between the two.
When I get FAIL! on Odin, the progress bar on the phone freezes about 75% of the way.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need a .pit file? Is it my computer? Should I try another computer? help me out please
I'm not sure about that second message you got, but did you make sure to open ODIN before flashing?
And do you also have the correct USB Drivers downloaded for your computer?

Yea, i had ODIN open before I connected the phone. And I made sure to install the correct drivers for it (It said "drivers installed successfully)
Another thing, is when I was trying to flash it thinking the regular vibrant 3g method would work, I had "Re-Partition" checked. Could that be part of the problem?
You're not supposed to have Re-Partition checked.
Refer to this guide to make sure you're doing everything right in the flashing process : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
Well, I have been following that guide. Step by step.
But that was after I semibricked it.
Before, I thought using the method for rooting a vibrant 3g would work for the 4g model. I guess the "Re-partition" box was checked (before I started following that "Noobs guide") and that's why I'm having problems now.
The symbol you are now seeing on your phone means you have a currupt firmware. It was most likely caused by using the vibrants pit file. If you try everything else and it still doesn't work. You may have to wait until we either have a working pit. But follow the directions on the Odin flashing instruction and keep trying.
Good luck

So, there's nothing I can do now besides keep trying? It's not my phone though... my friend was expecting it back today.
Is there a way I can get to the recovery menu and download somebody's nandroid backup to restore mine?

Sorry bud. Cwm doesn't work that way yet. And even so, I don't think you can even get into recovery mode with your problem. When you used the vibrant pit file you formatted the phone to be like the vibrant which its not. Its very similar, but different enough to cause issues.

I first got problems when I put on Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM. I then restored it to FROYO. Then i wanted to put on Infused v2.2.3 by gtg465x (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088) again but i then realized as i was installing zip from recovery i didn't have enough memory on my phone so it boot loaded. I used odin3 and tried to restore my phone back to original firmware and tried the odin3s listed on xda and all them arnt working on my phone correctly. It boots up and after the boot-screen the screen goes back and the buttons light up. I have been able to get it to recovery but I tried restoring it and installing zips and the same thing has happened. I dont know what to do and how to fix this problem. Can someone please help me fix this problem?
Use gtg's back to stock.

If you aren't using a pit file make sure the repartition box is unchecked
you also might want to try a newer version of odin

Even though you are trying to flash back to stock, you should still have the update.zip for clockwork recovery on your internal sd card.... Try going into recovery, find "format system" do that then go to "reboot to download" then try flashing a rom with odin again.... Seems like you have some corruption of system files, formatting system has worked for me when I think I've really f'd up....

I just used Odin v1.81 and yes it had a pit. I tried it again and still same problem. I also just formatted my system threw recovery and put gtg465x stock ROM back on and still same problem. The buttons light up. They dont thing when I press them.

Put your phone into download mode and Use gtgs ultimate unbrick. Make sure you use all the included files (pit, phone and pda).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
Once you do that do factory reset from INSIDE the settings page in the ROM, not from recovery. After this you can re-root, install mod3e and cwm, and install custom rom again.

I just ran "[ODIN][UCKD5] GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - Working PIT included" and the same thing happened. Screen just goes black. I cant get in the settings to do factory reset.
Try this. Flash UCKH1 leak which is froyo, it contains a bootloader update. Report back and let us know if the phone boots.

you can factory reset with "odin one-click". this is not available for the infuse but has been leaked for he captivate and maybe other phones. if you use the captivate oneclick odin you can use the "master clear" function when the phone is on, not in download mode. DO NOT ATEMPT TO FLASH WITH ONE CLICK ODIN. ONLY USE THE MASTER CLEAR FUNCTION.

yeah the Rom needs to be somewhat functional for that to work I guess. have you tried using heimdall to flash the unbrick instead? what operating system are you on? are you an administrator?

its an open source alternative to odin. search Google. I prefer heimdall 1.1. the ui is self explainitory. 1.3 is more flexible and has the option to use heimdall specific packages with partition information and device compatibility checking.
you will need to extract the .tar from the unbrick. 7zip is good for that.
read the website for other needed software. it needs Samsung drivers and I think it needs .net framework 4 and something else. not sure. I don't use it in windows. I use it in linux
heimdall doesn't let you repartition without bootloaders for safety reasons. you might have better luck in odin with repartition selected. but heimdall is something else to try and isn't as spastic.
oh is win7 32bit or 64. 32bit version is more cooperative with Samsung drivers.
I HAD A problem with another one of my sofy bricks...soi used [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click..and i picked stock with kj6...blah blah blah...but now when i hold in power and both volumes...i get or have no cwm...PLEASE HELP ... and odin isnt reconnizing my phone cause i want to usu the ext4 pack...
You have to flash one of the 2 alternate packages. The fully stock one is just that and doesn't include a cwm kernel.

As far as ODIN not recognizing your phone - go to this thread - and use the program to list and uninstall all Samsung and Android drivers listed. People have said after using Heimdall, ODIN will not recognize their phone. After uninstalling all the drivers, use kies mini to reinstall your drivers and see if ODIN will recognize your phone.
phordych05 - just a thought and suggestion. Instead of starting a new thread for every problem flashing you are having... use one of the other three or four threads you have started to ask the questions. We will still help you in those threads with your problems and will have less clutter for others to try and find answers.

I found, heimdall and odin don't work together on the same USB port. I have one port setup for heimdall and another for odin. Try setting up a different port for odin. Once setup, odin any gb kernel with voodoo, and you should be good to go.
I bricked my device pretty bad. The only part of my phone I can get working is download mode with a usb jig. Heimdall (I am using the one-click) is the only program that will recognize my device and it will only flash kernel and recovery and up to 9% of the FACTORYFS. Odin will not recognize my phone. Any Ideas would be much appreciated! Is there cwm that re-partitions our phone?
i may,,, have a solution
I assume you are using a recently printed pit file, or, you are using command line stuff.
If you have an old ODIN package sitting around, use that pit, and start life over again with some heimdall, "DON"T USE A ONE CLICK", manually drag files.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Hello everyone and sorry to bother everyone but im in a pickle. Im new to rooting and I was following this on YouTube by qbking77 called "How to Install Clockworkmod Recovery on the Samsung Infuse 4G " video.
So what my problem is that when i placed the modified 3e recovery file in the bin folder and tried to restart my Samsung infuse 4g through the clockworkmod recovery restart it will now only boot to the Samsung screen. I believe I may have somehow placed the wrong or a corrupted 3e recovery file into the directory.
I have searched many other forums to no avail if anyone could help i would be eternally grateful.
Check the super everything thread for either a heimdall or Odin return to stock package. Download and run them with the phone in download mode. You can even get packages with CWM preinstalled.

I had no luck with Odin either. Check your windows device manager and see what shows up when you plug the phone in. It doesn't always show as Samsung, but something should come up that you can use to install drivers. Best of luck getting things back to running
