Ok so i got froyo 2.2 cognition loaded onto my phone. I switched to kernel jtaek or something from when i rooted the phone. It was working ok at first but then android.phone kept force closing. I installed it using clockwork recovery mod. So i decided, let me try another one. So i tried to switch kernels so i could load sheps ROM. I downloaded JI6kernel2e and renamed it update .zip put it on the internal sd and used clockwork recovery to install from sd card. After that my phones gone silly. For a while it would only loop into recovery mode. In recovery mode i try to reinstall packages and it says it fails every time. So now I'm not sure what to do I'm afraid i really messed it up. I can get to download mode but can only get to the old school ODIN, not the one click. Or i can go to recovery I tried to delete the cache and user data and that did't do anything. Now it just loops from the at&t logo to the galaxy s logo then shuts off. Any help would be very appreciated!!!!
holy hell.....
dude, you shouldnt be flashing anything.
seriously, why would you rename the kernel to update.zip and try to flash it?
you need to go back to stock, i dont understand you saying you can get into reg odin but not one click??
yes Odin i guess v 1.0 or something. Where you have to put in the PDA file and PIT file? I finally got the one click root to download. Yeah i F$&*#@ up pretty bad. I'm not that familiar with Android yet. Coming from Windows and a tilt 2. Ok so I held both volume buttons plugged in the USB, then pressed the power till the second black screen of the phone exclamation computer symbol. Odin recognizes it and the phone shows the triangle with the android, says downloading and do not turn off target. (download mode right)
Odin shows
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> Master Clear Started.....
This is the second time its done this for about 10 mins
Am I totally screwed?
you CANNOT do a master clear from DOWNLOAD mode. a master clear is done from a fully booted phone with usb debugging turned on.....as stated in the thread where you got the odin oneclick......
Ooops! Ok any ideas of how to use the comp to just get this thing to stock? Anyway I can move stuff around on the internal SD without the phone booting up. Only way I can think of is to smash it with a hammer so I won't be bothered by the software problem . I love the phone was just trying to get 2.2 on it

Why don't you just go into download mode and 1 click to stock?
Or what can I do with download mode?

Ok sorry guys I had to dance the jig for a few. Yes I had one hell of a brain fart. I clicked the Start button instead of master clear and success. Thank you guys very much for the assistance. I think I'll read for a few more months before I start messing with it again. AT&T seems to be taking they're sweet time with Froyo so I just figured I'd get a jump start. But I'll definitely be more cautious next time. I didn't realize what the kernel and firmware and all that exactly were.
With all due respect you do not need to be doing this with your phone. If you clearly don't understand the steps to flashing a kernal vs flashing a rom then you don't need to be doing this. Kernal flash is done in odin and a rom flash is done in clockwork or recovery.
Second there is big letters on the COG page that say read the FAQ/WIKI you need to take the time and read completely through it before you attempt to do anything else
so yeah i got my first replacement after the first time this happened... i tried flashing krylon360's rom with odin but got a fail at factory.rfs. keep in mind i am in no way shape or form a noob with odin, i have brought many of my buddies' devices back to life, but for some reason even though i use a USB jig ( which works in my captivate and personally tested and working on the SGS4g before the unrecoverable soft brick) any help please i dont want to have to send it back to t-mobile again... they already charge 10bucks just for shipping.

Hmm I'd say if the USB jig didn't work, you're not soft bricked. That's a hard brick.
What kind of USB jig are you using?
Was it a ROM or a kernel you flashed? which one, version etc.?
Jig - verified WORKING before the flash attempt
tried to flash [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root By: krylon360
new sgs4g
new USB cable
opened Odin first, set file
plugged in phone got a good port connection
clicked "Start"
failed at factory.rfs
phone--!--comp screen
unresponsive to JIG
donation rewards for anybody that can help! lol this is depressing, my old captivate isnt this sensitive and has been through hell and back, but this SGS4g.... im dissappointed in.
Uninstall all the drivers for the phone make sure you have the right ones also, and try plugging it into a usb 2.0 slot then run it again, this seemed to work for me. I ran into the same issue I plugged in my jig but it gave me a black screen, but odin recognized it and I flashedthe kd1 update and it was fixed. Hope this helps

If the computer is not recognizing the phone being plugged in, how is ODIN going to be able to process? I don't know if mine SGS4G is irrepairable but when I plug it in to the computer, it will not even show up on device manager. The drivers have been installed in the past and I have used ODIN before.
When I try using ODIN now it won't work since it won't recognize the phone.
I have used JIG and simply will not buzz. It's pretty much as dead as if the phone is not even on.
Any help guys??

If its currently in the state which I'm assuming..
-won't turn on, no sign of life period...
-plugging it in the wall charger won't even show the green battery status...
-won't get recognized when plugged into pc (or odin)...
-all combinations of buttons and battery pulling+usb cable plugging does nothing...
Yea I think its safe to say it went to a land far far away just like my friend's phone and only Samsung can revive it now.. Because I remember reading all the stories how everyone brought theres back to life so easily with the button combos or the jig usage, but those phones all at least showed a sign of life with that cable screen. But if its pitch black like I'm assuming then...
Same here. The jig didn't seem to work - I still got the cell + comp but odin worked anyway and reflashed stock. It's probably better to run Odin off a desktop if you have one.
That screen scared the holy hell out of me a couple of days ago. I ended up having to re-install the samsung drivers for windows 7 and then odin picked the phone right up. The reason I *knew* the phone was recoverable from that screen was simple, though:
I read the screen. It wouldn't be telling you to try something in Kies if you couldn't do anything at that screen. So, I just kept ****ing around trying different things until it worked.
*I* have personally noticed that that screen tends to come up when you accidentally or inadvertently select "Re-Partition" on a rom/image that's not setup for it, or if for any reason your phone gets disconnected or powered off during the flashing process.

I second this. I have been running into this screen while trying to install root from the 2.3.4 leak. I have had black screen, fuzzy screen, random pixel screen. In most cases I have been able recognize the phone using odin. A few of the key steps that I have used to get the phone recognizable in odin are:
1. If the computer says "usb not recognized" when initially plugging in the phone, uplug it and plug it back in. Most of the time when I do this the phone is recognized as samsung device.
1b: If odin now recognizes the phone after running through step 1 I will try to flash the files again. it will usually fail after trying to load the flash files on the first try. I have to mess around with this process a few times and I can usually get a successful flash.
2. I had an case when having to deal with this problem yesterday. I was running through steps 1,1b and not having success. Odin was hanging, (I forget which step). I let it sit for about 10 minutes and was still hanging. I unplugged the phone with odin still hanging pulled battery, powered on, plugged back in. Odin, which was still open and still trying to connect, continued its already started process after plugging it back in!!! This was an accident to still have the odin running and trying to connect, but after reconnecting the phone it successfully flashed!

These kind of observations are especially helpful! I can concur that I get the same <phone..!..pc> error, when odin tries to flash and gets a write fail, however, I do not have the "re-partition" option set. I then have to run through my previously mentioned steps to try to get a successful flash.
My question is what can i do to keep odin from failing to write when flashing?? I have only been using PDA packages, with the exception of using discrete packages (pit,csc,phone,pda) when loading the 2.3.4 rom leak.
It seems like the flashing write error in odin in causing the <phone..!..pc> error quite often with different flash processes. Does anyone have a solution to what might be causing this write error and what can be done to prevent this whole cycle? If so I sticky or new thread might be useful for other users. It has caused to have to warranty my first phone, urrrg!
Scariest feeling ever........ Not seeing your phone come up on Odin.

I had the same issue yesterday, when I tried to flash KD1 vanilla (stock) ROM
using ODIN, it failed the first 4 seconds, it boots into fuzzy looking screen and
that's it, every time I tried to boot it the fuzzy screen fades away to pitch black.
there is 2 possibilities that messed up the whole thing for me:
1) Bad ROM.. (i.e, can't be used with ODIN) although some members said it works
but don't know if there anything special to do before hand, if I want to downgrade.
2) Samsung Kies' fault, I installed just right before I used ODIN, and told me my
device is not registered.. hmm.
It could be both cases, but I suspect Kies the culprit, I had to uninstall it, and
uninstall the drivers came with it, installed the drivers found here in these forums,
and Odin recognized a COM port, although black screen on the phone, flashed
to KH1 and I am back to business. phew..
GB is awesome, but I can't stand the weak WIFI issue even with the latest KH1
I have to stand 3 feet away from my router to get a solid signal, with froyo
vanilla rom, I was able to connect like 50 feet away. but that's another problem
not for this thread.
Heh funny thing I read today in some thread, there is a conflict between Kies and
Odin after the incident happened. my fault for not reading a lot, jumping the gun
almost cost me the phone :/
Hey guys.
Earlier today, my phone ran out of batteries and shut down. When I rebooted it, everything was in stock settings of Octane 2.X. I have no idea why that happened, since I've rebooted the phone plenty of times before.
Since that problem didn't seem to have a solution, I decided to Odin and flash Octane 3.0 instead. The first time I used Odin, everything was fine. I Odin'd to KC1, just to remove any gremlins. Next, I tried to Odin to KI3. However, that was stuck.
In the end, nothing moved for several minutes, so I unplugged it and reboot my computer. My phone was still able to enter into download mode. I've also tried different USB ports. All have the same outcome.
Now, Odin recognizes my phone, but I can't get pass: <ID:0/013> Get PIT for mapping..
I've attached a picture of what's happening below.
I've searched for the solution to this problem, but the only solutions I've really found were about letting the phone rest for a while. Of course, I let it rest, but the same thing keeps happening.
Please help.
EDIT: Now it seems like I can't get pass <ID:0/009> Initialzation..

Weird. I've had mine stuck at the PIT file before but rebooting my PC and the phone seemed to fix it. Does the phone boot up to an OS at all? Maybe get it into recovery, factory data reset, then try again?
Thanks for the response stephen_w.
I can't get into recovery, only download mode. I managed to get it to work again after reinstalling drivers and rebooting my computer.
However, I think Odin needs to be run with nothing in the background or something. After I Odin'd KC1 successfully, I tried to Odin KI3 (which progressed till factory). My girlfriend IM'd me and it suddenly stopped.
I'm gonna try redoing it all over again and seeing how that works. FML!

Weird man. Have you tried the factory reset after KC1? I hate using that factory reset crutch but it's helped me plenty of times. Then again, maybe I just keep effing up my phone LOL
Seems like the solution was just to change computers. Weird how my sister's laptop used to be unable to use Odin, but now it can. Now I really wonder wtf happened to my computer. I used to be able to do everything on it.

Definitely odd but I'm glad you got it going. Maybe the drivers got hosed? It's really hard to say I guess. If you get bored & get really curious about it, uninstall Kies Mini if you have it installed, uninstall the drivers, then go into the device manager and make sure there's nothing Samsung USB related or "gadget serial" left over. Then maybe reinstall Kies Mini and install the drivers from there.
Hey all,
I've been flashing ROMs since the old Windows Mobile days and recently have run into a problem that has me stumped and I haven't been able to fix it. I beg you experts for help, I'm not sure what else to do.
My wife had some complaints that her Infuse was acting slow so I thought a new flash of something might help. I attempted to flash CatyRom but was stuck at the rainbow loading animation for over an hour. At this point I was getting nervous so I figured I would go back to stock. I used the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 for Heimdall One-Click Back to Stock. After doing that the phone just froze on the Samsun logo and after retrying it twice and restarting I was making no progress. I've tried some other back to stock threads and the latest was I loaded the ultimate unbrick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367099 and now the phone is stuck in a red Clockwork Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix. When I try rebooting it sits at the Samsung logo, when I try to flash the one thing on the phone(CatyRom) it says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11(file exists)
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11(file exists)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl9(file exists)
Error mounting SYSTEM:!
At this point I'm not sure what else to do/try. I can get into this version of Clockwork which I suppose is kind of good, but all that's on the phone is CatyRom and that won't install. If anyone can help I'd truly appreciate it.
Try flashing the community gingerbread kernel with Odin to reset your recovery and do a complete wipe and fix permissions...that happened to me once and that fixed it for me....after that you should be able to flash caty

For some unknown reason Odin isn't seeing the phone. Heimdall detects it in Download Mode fine, but it never shows up in Odin.
Also, when I tried one of the GTG back to stock Heimdall repackages everything goes fine and then at the end when it says Ending session.. it then says:
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet! Heimdall crashed!
The phone just sits in download mode, if I pull the battery and restart it's like nothing was done.
I'm not too experienced on hemidal but I believe there is a way to flash that same kernel I mentioned thru hemidal...but I don't use it so I would ask Dani897 he knows hemidal very well...hope that helps..

What he said. Uninstall the driver in device manager. For me, it shows up under a main section called libusb.
Did you use the straight up repackage link or the one with the community v8 kernel in it? Since you have red CWM recovery, it would seem that you either used the community v8 which has voodoo lagfix enabled by default or you had a bad flash with the straight up repackage. I think I have a heimdall package that has all the gtg unbrick files in it. I'll post it up here if I find it.
EDIT: I threw a heimdall package together based on gtg's unbrick and just flashed it to my phone as a test. Yes, it worked just fine.
heimdall package back to uckd5 stock using gtg's unbrick files - http://www.multiupload.com/QL5BCRG1CI
the exact same thing happened to me... try different usb ports ..try different usb cables.. i didnt believe my usb cable was bad....it was. i used gtgs unbrick once i got odin to see the phone!!! im back to normal!!

Also, I'm not sure what my battery level is or if it will even charge, since trying Odin I haven't been able to get back into recovery, just download mode. Any suggestions?
Try a fresh download of the file your flashing in Odin and restart Odin before hand

Yes, that was the one I was attempting to use, but I've tried one or two others since then. I've also tried redownloading afew of them. I was excited when I got Odin to see the phone, but it hasn't done anything yet.
So far with all of them it will freeze at a certain step, either "Get PIT for mapping..." or "ID:0/003> Firmware update start..<ID:0/003> factoryfs.rfs" and it will never continue. I know this things can take some time, but I've given them almost an hour each.
I'm also concerned that the battery may be running low, is there any way to charge it when I can only get into download mode? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Try this: Download mode using Odin. Uncheck the reboot box. Flash Enthroy's kernel dated 11/02.
If it flashes, boot into recovery, it should be Red. Scroll down and disable Voodoo lagfix or enable it if it's disabled.
Rebooting should put you in a loop after the kernel fixes the partitions. Good.
If you disabled lagfix, boot to download mode and use the latest stock GB leak or Ultimate Unbrick.
If you enabled it, boot to recovery, but this time disable it. Rebooting should put you in a loop after the kernel fixes the partitions. Good. Boot to download mode and use the latest stock GB leak or Ultimate Unbrick.
The loop should only occur if the rom is messed up.
Booting after flashing shouldn't take more the 5-10 minutes. At least from what I've seen on my phone.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot, but I'm not finding anything called Enthroy's kernal, I've tried searching for it but no luck, I may be missing it.
Go into the infuse super thread and look under kernels for the download. If nothung works, contact me because my phone (im sending it from) was rezurected with mobile videos jtag repair. Turns out my phone wont connect to computers even with a new usb slot installed. Anyway its forty bucks but its well worth it . If you still have warranty go ahead and use that up if you do not care about the info on your phone.
dude..try a different usb!!!!!! i kept getting the same errors.. it would get 1/4 way throught the process and get stuck... i used my sons usb cable from his HTC inspire and it worked perfectly!!!! USB CABLE !!! TRY IT!!!
i used gtgs very carefully ..step by step !!!
once i did it with a new usb, it downloaded in 3 minutes!!!!
good luck!!!!
oh and happy new year everyone!!!

Hey guys, unfortunately I've been out of town and just got back yesterday to continue work on the phone. I've actually had quite abit of success. I decided to try GTG one more time just to see, this time I used both a different USB cable and USB port and it worked! The flash completed without any problems and the phone booted up like stock in just afew minutes.
I am having one slight issue though. Everything was working fine after the reflash but my wife noticed today that her data stopped working. She's not able to connect to either her 4g/3g connection or WiFi. When she tries to go to any websites it says "Web page not available." in the browser. Her phone service is fine, but data both on and off WiFi give that message. I've tried turning on Airplane mode, restoring default APN settings, and restarting the phone afew times.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is a factory restore, I'd like to avoid it since she just set everything back up but I'll probably have to do one and hope the problem doesn't come back.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

The only thing I haven't tried yet is a factory restore, I'd like to avoid it since she just set everything back up but I'll probably have to do one and hope the problem doesn't come back.
Thanks everyone for all the help!

That's the first thing I do after I Odin back to stock. Do a hard reset to erase what ever was left behind, or else you will keep having problems. GL
This is a very noob thing to do.
I have a Verizon S3 with a broken screen. So I was fooling around with it without reading the forum.
I have a fresh MF1 installed, then rooted and also installed ROM Manager. The foolish thing is that I used ROM manager to boot into recovery.
The boot failed. Now the stock recovery is gone. The worst thing is that, now I can't even get into Odin. The phone kept vibrating and give the yellow triangle, saying, System software not authorized by Verison wireless has been found on your phone.....
I do not know what to do now. I think the first thing I have to do is to get rid of the CWM recovery, which never worked in this case. Then I can get the Odin back.
I tried the download button combo. I got to Odin just once. And the Odin session did not complete stating that it could not find a COM port. So Odin is no go now.
Do I have to get on adb or bootloader level? How?

Well, I think I made a fool of myself.
After repeated failures to boot into Odin, I put the phone to some rest. Then I just tried it one more time and my lovely Odin has returned. So I flash the phone with the stock ROM and the phone is back to normal.
I was thinking I have another hard bricked phone. I think by pulling the battery and put the phone to rest, it changed something.

You got that warning message at boot because you didn't unlock your bootloader.
