dont panic!.. remove and replace the battery.. press up + down vol then plug USB cable. you will get the same screen but you will hear a sound from your computer that the usb is plugged in. then flash again.. once its completed it will back to normal.

Yes try restarting your pc
Open odin v1.7
Take battery out, put battery back in
Then Hold up + down volumn keys then plug usb
You will/will not get the downloading screen but don't be scared
Look on your odin flasher and make sure it is connected to com 3 or com 5(it will be highlighted in yellow), if it is then your good
Put the deodexed kc1 file in the pda tab and make sure re-partition is unticked
Then hit start, might take a bit longer but it will surely revive your phone
Hope that helps

still waiting halfway downloaded. after is done do i wipe data, cache, dalvik or just restart!

Can wipe if you want I didn't and it flies

now am stuck on the galaxy s 4g logo!!!

I used Odin 3_v1.0 and it worked. You need to remove the battery and reflash with Odin. If you get the phone and computer symbol just remove the usb cable, re start odin and connect the cable to your phone and try again. You do not need to remove the battery. I was able to flash my that way.

now when i try to install it fails right before its almost done weird!!! tried it 4 times already same thing every time!

Close Odin. Disconnect phone. Pull battery. Put battery back in, while holding both volume buttons plug in cord. It will show the error on your phone again. Start Odin again. Load rom in PDA section. Click start. You can wipe user data and cache. And click reboot. Then give it time to rebuild. Ten minutes. The reboot again to clear up bugs.

When you flash with Odin just leave it alone for awhile. While its flashing give it ten minutes. When its done it should be in recovery. Then just hit the power button to reboot.
If it doesn't work you have other issues. Did you flash it with a pit file? Do not flash this phone with a pit.

Yes i did some guy put up a pit file and i flashed it and my phone went blank!

[Q] cwm help

You need to reflash cwm with Odin the stock recovery overwrites cwm when your on the stock ROM

I was on the stock rom and reflashed cwm using odin and it reverted back to the stock recovery each time. I had to odin the new rom I was going to first, then odin the new recovery and everything was fine.

After you Odin CWM, you need to immediately boot into CWM and flash a non-stock kernel. Stock kernels will overwrite CWM with stock recovery if they boot into the OS.

When you Odin cwm make shire autorestart is not checked. Odin cwm unplug phone take battery out. Put battery back in boot directly to cwm by pressing home, Vol up and power. Hold until Samsung logo comes up the second time then let go. Now you're in the flashes cwm go install superuser, then reboot . Install "root explorer" , sum privileges should b allowed , go to "system" folder find "recovery.sh" file, it has a yellow star. Click on the "Mount R/W" Press and hold on the recovery file till menu pops up, go to "permissions" uncheck all the boxes save and exit. Shut down phone, go to download mode with Odin flash cwm again make shire autorestart is not checked , unplug take bat out. Put bat back startup. You should be able to go to cwm any time now.
This is from one of the posts I read and memorized. Thanks go to whoever figured it out.

Power the phone down completely. Pull the battery. Hold volume down while you plug in the USB cable. When it comes up in download mode, put battery back in.

This instruction, step 5.

What I do to get my download screen is : bat out , vol down, power then plug in cable (count) 1 and release power but hold vol down until download mode pops up. Then put battery in. That's the only way it works for me. Some ppl hold both buttons until download mode pops up, that don't work for me. Others can get it by pressing buttons n piping in battery and then connecting cable. Try some of these. I figured out my just by chance my finger slipped cause most can do it by pressing both buttons holding and plugging in. If I do it that way my phone either reboots or nothing happens.

Don't use the power button at all to get into download mode. Just remove the battery, hold down volume down, and plug the USB cable in. It'll automatically power on. Then you should put the battery back in to help ensure a better chance at a clean flash.

[Q] Problem with ODIN after JB update

Hello everyone.
I'm having a strange problem booting into ODIN. I just recently got one of the VRBLK1 leaked images and flashed my phone over and then rooted and installed TWRP onto my phone. As well as SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader. I have ZERO problems with the phone running, or booting or anything like that, except when it comes to ODIN.
For some reason my phone will just not boot into ODIN mode. When I hold down vol down, home and power, it'll briefly display the ODIN/OS warning and then disappear back into the off mode with simply the battery level display. No matter how fast I try to press the UP volume key the result is the same. However the phone is completely functional other than that.
Any suggestions? I'm just trying to remove all the bloatware from my phone and this is holding me up from installing Clockwork Mod to do so.
Thanks,

Well use ez recovery from the play store to install cwm. Also try Odin mode without being plugged in.

[Q] Verizon S3 root through ODIN, phone won't power on

As it says in the title, I went through the steops in the following thread to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
I followed it to a T, and when it came to rebooting my phone, it said to take out the battery, then put it back in (keep in mind, ODIN said it was successful in doing what it's supposed to do). I unplugged the usb from my phone and took out the battery. I waited a minute then put it back in, now it won't power up. I've scoured the net to find a way to get it to turn on, and everything i've tried failed. The battery was at 95% when I started the process, so it's not a dead battery (i've even let it sit and charge for a bit too on a wall charger). I've tried getting into download mode and various other key combinations while trying to power on the phone, still nothing. I've held the power button while doing key combinations for 30-60 seconds like a post on one of the forums I read suggested, still nothing. Any ideas?

So to confirm, you got to step 3, you flashed the custom recovery in the PDA slot with ODIN, waited for the green "PASS" to appear, pulled the battery, and are now bricked?

Also wondering; does the LED turn on? My first attempt at rooting my GS3 the device would boot to a black screen, but the little LED would turn blue. It was also pretty finnicky about booting into download; make sure you have the volume button pressed down first. If you can get it back into download, I would flash a stock recovery via ODIN, and try again (If you're not too traumatized).

The LED doesn't turn on no matter what. As of today, for some reason it turns on for a minute when I plug in the charger (it lights up orange), but then disappears after a few minutes

If you can get it into download mode again, you can flash the stock Verizon ROM.
I've soft bricked mine quite a few times, this has worked 100% of the time.

Thanks! I'll see if I can get it to turn on and go to download mode to try that. I'll post up what happens.

Also, did you check the md5's of the files you downloaded and make sure they matched the md5's in the guide. It sounds like you may have flashed a bad download.

Sorry to say it, brother, but it's borked. Been there, did that.... See here :

Is my Sprint Galaxy Note Edge hard bricked or done?

Long story short, the phone was updating to the latest OTA update and I believe it restarted suddenly somewhere during the update. Now it is stuck in this never ending boot loop. Turn on the phone and it tries to go into recovery boot, then shows the android guy and fails.
I have tried booting into recovery mode but it still goes to the android guy saying it is "Installing system update" then fails. I downloaded Kies and Odin but neither recognize that the phone is even there.
Is there anything else I can try or is this phone brain dead?

Try going into download mode and flashing whatever firmware you're on. Instead of holding up,home key and power you hold down, home key and power. Then hook phone up to computer and, using odin, reflash your firmware.

Yep, this guy is correct. Download mode, let your computer install the drivers (will do it automatically) and viola, now its recognized by odin.

Sounds like your gunna need xtra help
1. Load Firmware on Odin , click PDA TAB & load Firm|file then plug your phone in2 USB & Hit Start.
Then dont mess w| your phone until 'Box' says PASS
