Here is the situation, I tried to flash a stock Skyrocket with CWM via Odin, and Odin keeps saying write failed. I then tried different USB ports, restarted the computer many times but still no luck.
This computer flashed SGS3 and Hercules before with no issue. I've also tried different USB cable. Now whenever I book the phone it said i need to connect to Kies to update. I can't even get into the stock recovery. The only thing i can get into is Download mode but Odin will not flash anything. How can I resolve this?
Please help!
Thank you.
RESOLVED:
I flashed the wrong ROM =D The phone is AT&T Galaxy S2. I kept thinking it was called the Skyrocket hence i download the wrong rom and recovery. That explained why Odin wont flash! After a while i realized the i-727 on the rom doesnt match the i-777 from my phone
You got lucky, really lucky. Flashing a ROM for the wrong phone is usually a hard brick. Read the ROM threads and make absolutely certain you're flashing a ROM for the right phone the right way before doing so.

Im new to all this phone stuff so bare with me, I have no knowledge of all these terms either. Example: Flash, Root, etc...big noob I know. Anyways I ran into a problem with the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (4g) IDK :crying:, I was trying to go from version 2.1 Froyo to 2.2 Gingerbread? I was using Kies Mini to update it, It was successful...than I thought..."ehhh this new update sucks!" So I was on youtube and I saw ICS..I attempted to down patch versions or I believe Flash?(Correct me if I'm wrong) my phone back to Eclair.. Uninstalling Kies Mini and Installing the Samsung USB Driver(Note: Restarted Comp)... Wiped everything clean from my phone because I had nothing really important on my phone.. Downloaded T959UVJFD.TAR, Odin3 v1.3, and the s1_odin_20100512.pit Files...Now I turned my phone into Download mode, plugged in my USB, Odin said COM3, opened my pit file along with the tar file. Clicked on start and received "FAIL" in the end, I turned off my phone, cell phone icon with exclamation mark in the middle along with a pc. Used OneClick to soft unrick? my phone and got it back to Download mode and safe mode but!!!
When I reboot my phone it Boot Loops?(I see Galaxy S over and over again) Now I was doing some research and I keep seeing something about USB Debugging?! I also seen it in my settings option too! Maybe I had to check that to get past Odin? I cant get into my phone to click that USB Debugging anymore either... So lost... Please Help :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Sounds like you flashed the vibrant files to the sgs4g.
Kc1 & kd1 are pre gingerbread.
Kj6 is the gingerbread
Search xda abit more. Find the oneclick back to stock.
I inherited a bricked AT&T Skyrocket and was very happy when I managed to get it into download mode by accident. But it didn't last long. Both Kies (2.6) and Odin (1.85) recognize the phone but fail to write to it. BTW, I used k0nane's thread file for the Odin flash. CWM failed to flash as well. Also, I tried different cables and different USB ports.
I have no idea how the original brick happened and I cannot do a hard reset. Besides the download mode, all I get is the Samsung logo or the battery charging.
I read somewhere that the next step should be a .pit file and a Nand re-partition but I can't find that thread again.
PS. Never mind the celox.pit approach. While I was able to Odin it, the ROM write failed after it.
Anybody got a link or some suggestion on what I can try next?
I've searched for nearly 12 hours and tried several methods, but since this is an older device a lot of threads and links are dead. I was hoping someone could give me advice here, and I did use the search but to no avail.
The situation is I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-P5113) and it's stuck on the logo and the sound it boots up cuts out half way (wondering if it's a hardware issue). I can boot into Download Mode and I have the drivers for it on my computer. The problem I'm having is USB Debug wasn't enabled. Is there a way I can flash through Odin3 and which version should I use? This device isn't rooted either. Any help or advice would ease my mind.

download a copy of your device stock firmware, if you already have it, flash it with odin, there is no specific version of odin, it works on all as long as your device gets connected and shows in odin you are fine.
regarding the hardware issue, it might be or it might be not, you can only be sure after successfully flashing a stock firmware file.
it won't need any USB Debug option for flashing stock firmware so you are safe to flash.
If odin does not work you may try going to the recovery and perform a factory reset and delete cache
I went into Odin mode and flashed TWRP in the AP/PDA as all tutorials say (I am skeptical about that, I think this is what caused my phone to brick. BL obviously stands for bootloader, but I wasn't going to question the experts). Afterwards, I went to restart my phone and now I only boot to a broken Odin mode which says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I cannot turn it off without taking the battery out, it reboots immediately. I tried plugging my phone in and running Kies, but I left it to detect devices for 10 minutes and it was still attempting to connect to my SGS2. I have absolutely no idea what to do, I've never gotten this message in Odin before. It was tricky to even get Kies as Samsung took down their link and replaced it with SmartSwitch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
idk which tutorial youve read but you should of read mine, it uses odin3v1.87 and only pda is ever used and/or needed for the skyrocket.
u could be sol but trying my tut shouldnt hurt.
if theres life theres a chance for it to be revived.
you could try flashing twrp or better yet a full stock firmware so all partitions get reformatted/repartitioned correctly, fingers crossed.

Thanks; the only problem is that I can't even flash anything at the moment. My phone needs Kies and the drivers first, the Odin/download and recovery modes cannot be accessed otherwise. Kies has never had my phone drivers beforehand as I never had Kies before my phone had problems I should have looked harder for more detailed tutorials like yours first (one of many oversights that I neglected as a newbie). I also forgot to mention I visited the cm wiki to try to flash a newer custom OS and the tutorial asked for Windows users to use Heimdall suite, which failed to work properly in Windows 10 (at least for me). I used it to install a driver which may have replaced my Kies driver but now that I had uninstalled Kies completely and reinstalled it just after my phone broke, I no longer have a way of getting those drivers back since Kies apparently uses the history of my connected phones to install the drivers. I may be completely wrong (I feel I am) so please correct me.

Well it's not the drivers. Kies simply won't connect for whatever reason. I've tried Kies emergency recovery but it needs my phone to have been plugged in to another computer somewhere in order to get a recovery code or I need Kies to simply detect my phone. I've installed the new drivers multiple times but it doesn't change any results.
fyi you dont need kies for any of my tutorials.
uninstall kies, restart pc and reinstall standalone usb drivers and restart pc.
then follow my guides to the "t"

Ok. So I was attempting to unroot my phone earlier, so I downloaded a stock firmware and used odin to put it on my phone (don't know the technical term). When is was going through all of the things in odin, it said it failed and said 'Complete(Write) operation failed'. I then tried to download a stock firmware from another site, and the same error popped up. I kept retrying and sooner or later I realised that my phone was saying that there was an error updating and I need to use emergency recovery thing in smart switch. I tried this, and neither smart switch, or Kies recognised my device. I then tried to use odin to flash this TWRP thing I have from something I did a while ago. This worked somewhat as I can now access this thing call team win recovery project. I can also enter download mode. Does anyone know how to help me?
Thanks
