[Q] Am I bricked? :(

My infuse when turned on goes to a screen that looks like phone ! pc with the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". So this happens even when I try and go to download mode or recovery mode. Basically as soon as I hit the power button. I'm really freaking out. It was rooted and I was doing following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Then the problems started when my computer didn't recognize the phone in download mode. and then it was recognized so I started the Odin flash. Then it froze at cache.rts (I believe that's what Odin said, I can't get to it anymore)...So I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and did it again and it got to factoryfs.rfs before it froze there for a really long time. So I unplugged it and tried to do GTG Ultimate Unbrick...but I can't get the .zip file to open. My computer keeps telling me "Can Not Open ____ as archive". I re-downloaded it and same result. Is there anything I can do to save my phone? I'm a real idiot and this kind of stuff always happens to me no matter how much I read up on something and make sure I'm doing it right. I would really appreciate a little help though, thanks!

I actually got it downloaded and followed Rammstein874's video on youtube on how to do it and I am once again stuck on factoryfs.rfs :-(
What can I do at this point? It is still stuck at the Phone-!-PC screen when I try to go to download mode. Please help, I'm starting to get pretty worried about this...

When your screen is phone!computer, that's an alternative version of download mode. You can either use ODIN or heimdall back to stock. Just plug it in via usb, allow odin/heimdall to recognize it and start flashing.

This is correct....if you see those pic on your phone that is a form of download...i would run the one click method...

Sorry I was at work all day.
This is the video link I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1HgcZrYR_4
I am also looking at the following one-click method posts:

* I used the above link (or tried) and it didn't seem to work either. I downloaded Heimdall Suite for Windows 64bit and then installed the drivers and plugged in my phone in download mode. But then I was unable to get it started...I used the "Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click.jar" file I found on mediafire (because all of these posts link to mediaupload which is no longer working). Anyway, so I tried to run Heimdall-frontend.exe on windows and once it opened up I connected my phone (nothing turns green like the post says) and hit browse. I chose the jar file aforementioned and it said "tar header contained invalid file size."
So if someone could point me toward a more up to date thread if I'm using the wrong one and kind of explain to me how to get around the other problem I'm having with the jar file then I would be forever appreciative

Not sure what you did...not saying you did something wrong but here is what I do, below are how i perform using qkster's method...
The USB + Volume Down + Volume Up Method: Download mode (Noticeable by an Android robot digging with a shovel) is reached by taking everything out (Battery, SIM, MicroSD). plug in the USB cable to your computer and phone then putting in battery at the same time Holding the volume buttons both up and down, (Don't press the power button at all in this method).
How to INSTALL:
1. Put your phone into Download Mode.
2. If you have not used Heimdall, you will need to set up the driver for device recognition.
3. Once your device is connected, the DEVICE STATUS should show: CONNECTED. The long FLASH bar will also turn on for flashing.
4. Click on the FLASH button. (In my opinion: I recommend that you do this in a safe environment. Do not disturb your phone will flashing this firmware. Turn off Antivirus. Do not run any other programs, upload/download/youtube/burning DVD etc)
5. Once it has completed, your phone will reboot. You will hopefully see the ATT logo and reboot into STOCK UCLB3.
6. If it did not work, you will have to put it back into DOWNLOAD mode and reflash a second time, with the FLASH BOOTLOADER box checked. This is more likely if you never had proper Gingerbread bootloaders on your phone, if you are coming from FROYO or if you never had Odin a Gingerbread leak to get your bootloaders.
download this file for your one click to stock...and using above directions...
once that is done and you want to put CWM mod on for flashing a custom ROM, same directions to get in to download mod...
download this file to use the one click to put CWM mod on your phone
here is the link where i took all this...

Right, I did those things from that link itself. I think the problem is actually with how I'm using Heimdall. I downloaded the suite version from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
I also downloaded Microsoft Visual Studio C++. So I feel like it should be working...but the problem comes when I hit browse to attach the jar file you linked to. It says the "tar header file size was incorrect"...so am I doing something wrong in the way that I'm attaching the jar file to go back to stock? Could you or someone else please confirm that process and/or check the jar file for me to make sure it's still up-to-date? Sorry for the trouble, I'm just not sure what I can do at this point if I can't get Heimdall working. I can't flash after I attach the jar file with the error message either, it doesn't recognize my phone when it is attached in download mode (which is coming up just fine now without the phone!pc thing for some reason).

Is your phone still stuck on the phone-!-pc ?

did you read the last post he had regarding the actual heimdall program suite...
not sure what he had going on...I believe he has download mode capability...
thx ''Goshujin-sama'' qkster

Yeah..that's where I wasn't sure what sf was doing.
the jar file is self executable. When you click on the jar file, there is a load up delay.
Then should be be ready.
You then hook up the phone.
I've not seen in tar header file size error.
Sf should not be trying to stick the 1-click file into heimdall front-end.
It's a single self executable jar file..the is no other dependencies...the only other situation I can think of is maybe putting the 1-click jar file onto a different PC and try running it there.

Oh man I had no idea...I was so mixed up by trying to educate myself with so many posts about using Heimdall. I thought I had to download Heimdall separately and attach the jar file or something. But okay so I ran the one-click. It failed the first time (expected) and then I checked the flash bootloaders box and hit flash again. Then it stopped at installing drivers and prompted me to install the drivers on the following prompt. So I did that and then it said installed drivers successfully and I hit close. Then nothing happens. So what do I do at this point? I'm probably being an idiot again but I really appreciate you guys trying to help me out. And I hope you realize I'm trying my best to not waste anyone's time.
The device status was a green Connected before I started by the way. At this point what I do? It seems to just break at the installing drivers part...?

It should of rebooted it self the phone...
Btw you are not wasting my time...wife is watching cup cake wars...so ....rather help you...lol

Once the connected bar is on, you click flash. It should complete it's routine. the phone reboots. you should click on the boot loader box. you disconnect. let it finish. set it back into donwload mode and flash again.
you can try different usb port or data cord or different pc

Plus you have my master...qkster here...cuz you lost me on the programs you were using...so i called in the jedia master!

As long as your screen has that Phone! Computer sign, it's not bricked yet. I recommend you to search some how to videos online so you can see the exact instructions on how to use heimdall because it's that easy. If possible maybe one of our awesome contributors can make a how to video for heimdall.

I believe he is tracking now qkster is providing....thx

[Q] Screen stuck at samsung icon - Custom ROM issue

So I rooted my phone for the first time via Odin. And it worked -- after that, I tried to install a custom ROM (slim bean) -- I ended up uploading the non zipped version on my SD card. And I went through all the steps to install up until "format/system" to realize that I didn't have the zipped files.
Now my phone is stuck on the Samsung Icon. I just tried to use Odin to flash the stock gingerbread again, but there it gets stuck on "Setup Connection".
Please help! Total newb at this, and clearly it failed.
---
My phone wouldn't turn off even with Odin closing, so I took out the battery -- so now my startup screen is
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
How do I fix this?

That is kind of a secondary download mode.. odin or heimdall should detect your phone.
Make sure you have a good usb cable and maybe try switching usb ports.

Right. To add to andros11's post, was the top left box yellow in Odin before you clicked start? Odin will acknowledge that your phone is connected immediately (the box should be yellow if you your phone is connected properly). Of course, make sure you have all of the appropriate drivers (i.e. download Kies for the Infuse).
Also, for future reference, I have a fix for situations like yours so you don't have to go back to stock. Basically, you can use adb to push the correct zip file to your sdcard. What you do is:
Download and install the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure to install platform tools (a separate download from within SDK)
In Mac and Linux, open up Terminal. I can't remember how Windows works, sorry! Navigate to wherever the platform tools folder is. You have to do this using command line, so, cd <the/path/to/your/folder> (the easiest way is to just type cd, hit the space bar and then drag the folder to the Terminal window).
Once there, connect your phone to your computer. It can be in CWM or Download mode
Type in Terminal: adb devices
The next line - the response - should tell you if your phone is recognized. If it's blank, try again. If it's still blank, you might try disconnecting usb phone cable and reconnecting again. You might also try going into download mode.
Okay. Next type: adb push <here, just drag the zip file to your terminal window> /sdcard/
Give it time to push the file to the sd card. Repeat if necessary (if you have more than one zip)
Exit terminal, disconnect phone from computer, go back into recovery, navigate to the sdcard to flash and lo and behold! The proper zip file is there for you!
This might sound long, but it's so easy. Getting SDK set up is probably the biggest pain and it's not really that much of a pain!

You may want to give Heimdall a try rather than Odin.
Put the phone into download mode and try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381

Thanks so much everyone. Seriously.
So, Whizzpopper -- I *think* I installed SDK, but since my phone still says, "Firmware upgrade encountered issue. Please select Recovery mode in Kies and try again." I tried connecting it to Kies -- and it says "connecting" but never connects.
And even if I try the key combo to get to Download Mode or Recovery, it never gets away from that Firmware message.
How can I just get out of that mode?

how to keep fb sync on custom rom?
Hi I am a fairly new member, I have been following different threads for a long time but have recently signed up, so if i am posting in the wrong thread I sincerely apologize. moving on...
I have been using the Aeon 1.4 rom for awhile now and have been loving it. I first downloaded the rom without the stock libs and found that it is much faster than the stock libs rom, even after manually removing most of my stock apps via sd maid pro. But it has been the only way to keep the option to share with FaceBook. and being able to add facebook in my accounts and sync are in system settings. system settings>accounts and sync>add account.

You won't be able to get out of there until you are able to flash with either odin or heimdall.
You may also try a tool called one-click unbrick (google it)

ONE CLICK UNBRICK HAS GOTTEN ME OUT OF THAT GODFORSAKEN FIRMWARE MESSAGE.
Thank. You. So. Much.
... Now to follow the rest of the steps to try and get it back to some sort of operating phone!

and please note that it would be best to uninstall kies- it has been a source of problems for a countless number of users.

Thank you so much for your help!
So the terminal adb push worked -- and I installed my ROM (went through all the installation wizard parts, etc.) but now at reboot, I'm still stuck at the Samsung logo.
What happened?

@andros11 -- I saw your comment on how to best get from GB to JB
http://www.android.gs/install-unoff...pdate-to-ice-cream-sandwich-4-0-3-custom-rom/
I tried to follow those instructions to install ICS first, (I was previously too eager and went straight to JB!) and still I'm stuck at the Samsung screen.
Anybody have any threads, recos to get my phone to bootup to any system?
Sorry for the newbness!

Enter download mode to Go back to stock gb and then work your way up again up to jb.

Okay so I tried the Heimdall One Click Stock --
unfortunately, it stops working at the "clearing interface" stage -- says it failed. And I've changed the cables but still the same result.

You are on the right track... just that something is missing.
Be sure to get rid of kies.
Be sure you have the latest version of Java. http://www.java.com/en/
Use the link in post 13 that psal gave you - read at least posts 1 and 2 all the way through, then go through and perform each step.
The first time is a process, after that it is quick and easy. Thanks to qkster. :good:

PLEASE help me!.sdk and rooting question.

I have been trying so hard to get this to work, but absolutely no one seems to be willing to help me out.. I have been working on rooting my 4.0.4 Kyocera Rise now for several weeks but apparently am really doing something wrong. I have downloaded the Sdk manager, Eclipse, java development toolkit, and the drivers for my phone, but I'm not sure what to do beyond downloading them. I have installed and updated everything sdk manager said to. I've used at least 8 or 9 different rooting programs but none work. The one that is apparently my best best is the one called Binary, which can root ice cream like mine. I go through the process and I hit restore, it reboots, but then it says, "going to copy files to it's place. Mount: permission denied (are you root?) I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong. Someone please help??

And still no one is helping me.

Emulator is a hardware or software used for duplication of behavior of main system to host system.
In short your pc is main system here and device is emulated system.
I think you should than turn on usb debugging and set device as media storage and try.

I'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to click the download option in the flash tool coz nothing is happening after that. A dialogue box pops up which reads "Not all images are correctly loaded which may cause boot up issue! Do you still want to go on downloading anyway?" And when I'm clicking on Yes, the download progress is remaining unmoved at 0%. plz help. Screenshot included.
EDIT : Looks like this method is for jellybean. I'm using stock ics.

I prefer you use binary4u method i think you are getting these error because when you were rooting a another device was connected or try to as admin

Ya i also thought that this could be the reason but he told me that only one device is connected...that why i asked him to follow the method of rooting jellybean because it also works on ics.

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.
Best if luck.

I have already been into that link since even I thought that I'm having driver issues but my device is included under adb in device manager and when I tried to update the drivers, it said that the best drivers are already installed.
I'm lost in a limbo, don't know what to do.

Ok My last suggestion.
Remove all the connected device(dongles, bluetooth device) from your comp except your mobile with Usb debugging on.
restart your comp.
now place it in C drive(just for caution) or if it was on C drive move it to another drive.
Now try to root if it doesn't root.
Try frameroot.

Another suggestion if the above method does not work.
Try with a different port or with different cable.

[Q] Help! tried updating my samsung gt-i9000. No success..

Hi everyone I hope someone can help me resolving this problem I made myself...
I tried to install kitkat 4.4 on one old samsung S1 (the first galaxy model)

It all whent well in clockworkmod until I selected to install kitkat. It starts to install, but i get a droid with an red triangle and a exclimation mark, and then it reeboots
Is it somehow possible to reset the install and get it bak to normal? I have also the odin program. can I do something to get the phone working again?

okay, listen. the first step is download the stock rom. in the link at the bottom of this post is a list of firmwares for i9000. choose the one from your region, and download it, (or i can give you a link to my firmware, its international, so it will almost certasinly work. you might have to unzip the downloaded file, but only once. inside should be a folder withe the firmware name. go into the folder, you shouild see
a bunch of files.
then go to odin, connect you phone in download mode,navigate to the folder with the firmware folders, then:
Click on “PDA” and select file with “CODE” in its name.
Click on “Phone” and select file with “MODEM” in its name. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
Click on “CSC” and select file with “CSC” in its name. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
Click on “PIT” and select “.pit” file. (Note: Ignore this step if you don’t able to find such file)
press start, and hopefully your phone will be back working again.

press thanks if i helped!

Hi and thanks for your reply:good:
I was to download my stock file (region TEN), but i just came to something called rapid gator, and i entered wrong werificatin code, and was told that I have to wait one hour before trying again.. suppose thats a method for getting folks to pay for service. but why do samsung do such a thing?..
anyway, i would highly appreciate if you can send me the stock ROM

Now I was able to get the system up and runing again. I guess it has been changed since you been doing this.
I simply unzipped the package for my region and placed the zip file that was not going to unzip. When I placed this in Odin, at the pda button, it showed a *.md5 file. Set the phone in download mode, and it did the rest itself
But the reason I began doing this was that the phone dont read the sim card, and I was hoping for software malfunction, but I guess I wasnt that lucky.
Anyone who knows how I can get it to read the sim again?
