[Q] cp_modem.bin won't flash

I've seen a few others with this problem with no resolution.
First off... My drivers work, I can move files back and forth, and odin and pst both recognize the phone. I have tried multiple computers, and multiple usb ports, and multiple cables, 'F reset time' & 'Auto Reboot' checked and unchecked, battery in and battery out, SIM in and SIM out, even had Verizon replace the SIM. I have tried multiple ROMS (stock and custom, rooted and unrooted) and all exhibit the same behavior... and yes I am in download mode. I've factory reset both ways (recovery mode, and privacy settings), and tried to clear the cache in recovery mode to see if that helped.
When flashing a ROM everything goes fine until it gets to cp_modem.bin and then odin/pst hangs for a minute and then fails. I have tried to just flash the radio and i get the same failure. Other bins in ROMs flash fine.
Any ideas on how to fix???

What Odin are you using to flash?
Why are you trying to flash a new radio? Where did you get the radio?
Have you tried downloading a new radio?
Have you tried a different phone.
You said you have new sim, different roms. All of which are of no importance, because your Radio does not have anything to do with these 2.

I've tried both Odin 1.85 and 1.3.
I started out trying to flash a new ROM, however, all the ROMS fail in the same place (while flashing cp_modem.bin). That's why i tried to just flash the radio. I got the radio from the XDA thread post for people who flashed to gingerbread but wanted to use the EE4 radio. I do not have another phone to try. The SIM was a red herring... and I agree it has no bearing on the problem, which is that I am unable to flash a radio to the phone as part of ROM or by itself.
How do I know other parts of the full ROM flashes are successful? Because after the failure I can boot the phone (obviously it wont connect to the cell network though without a valid radio though).

try using Odin3 v1.7. See if that is any different. trying to narrow down the errors here.

same result... It's definitely the phone, because if I flash stock ED2 (which fails on cp_modem.bin) then boot the phone, and take the EE4 update from verizon, it also fails. Not sure what on the phone could be causing this... There ought to be a way to just blast EVERYTHING off the phone and start from scratch with a fresh file system. It's like the thing needs to be reformatted.

After you put the phone in download mode, re-insert the battery, before flashing. See if that helps.

tried that (1st post)

This may seem silly, but have you tried to flash again without restarting the phone after you get the error?

Now THAT is interesting. Like the guy above me said, sometimes just running Odin again fixes it, however, if the OTA update fails too, the only thing that makes sense is a hardware failure.
Wait, how can you attempt to take the OTA without a radio installed?!

Have you tried flashing with Samsung PST lite? It is much more reliable than Odin.

From the previous replies...
I'm taking the update from verizon over wifi.
I have tried PST lite and get the same result.

I really don't think this is Odin/PST/USB/ROM/Battery etc.. problem. I think the phone is in a state that is preventing the modem from being flashed. either a hardware failure occurred, or the first flash which failed left the phone in a FUBAR state.
Unless there is a way to completely wipe/format the phone (or at least the area where the modem gets flashed) I think the phone is toast. Does such a process exist?

I know when flashing the Samsung Galaxy tab you do the Odin repartition feature. This clears everything and pretty much starts you over. I had to use this to flash my TMO Galaxy Tab using the European build so it could be rooted.
Not saying try it, but as far as wiping completely, take out your sdcard and try and Odin using the repartition feature.
Check out IMNUTS "HOW TO FIX YOUR PHONE" Post. Hopefully this will get you fixed.

tried re-partitioning to no avail. Verizon is replacing the phone, however I was hoping I could figure out what caused the phone to end up in this state in the first place to avoid it in the future!
Thanks to those that had suggestions. Hopefully, someone will figure it out in the future.

[Q] My Dead Infuse

I think my infuse finally died completely. For the past couple days I was getting SOD every 2 or 3 hours. Finally I decided to do the back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021. I follow all of the instructions, but the program stopped working. Then I decided to try again, but this time only pixels came up. I removed the battery and tried again and all I'm getting is a white screen with pixels. Recovery mode does not work, nor does download mode. The phone also starts overheating if I plug it into a charger. Is there anything I can do?

Update: After trying to blindly navigate download mode and 20 tries of odin, it finally succeeded

I had the same thing happen to me last night when flashing the Entropy Kernel GB BL and all that jazz wtih odin. I unplugged cable after it froze up pulled battery attempted to return to dl mode but it went to the firmware update failed try kies recovery or whateves then I just tried odin again and it worked like a charm. I don't know what the deal was but froze up at factoryfs.rfs place and everything. So might just try that if this hasn't been resolved.

When its running rfs you should se a blue progress bar it takes about 5-8 mins to finish in my experience how long are you giving it
pink unicorn with swagga

This should work!
1. Download Blue CWM recovery on ur pc. http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
2. Use odin and flash blue recovery (PDA)
3. May reboot into recovery or ull need todo 3 putton
4. Wipe/factory reset
5. Flash gingerbread rom on
6.go to advance>reboot recovery
7. Reflash that gingerbread rom on
8. Reboot!!

[Q] HELP WITH Galaxy Note N7000 Bricking

Sigh, so i'm back again, 2nd time messing up my phone in 3 weeks......This time its going to cost me if I don't get an answer. I bricked my phone, i tried everything, and I mean everything, and it just won't finish flashing via Odin "pc" and I can't my mac to find the Pit files because of Stupid Kies.
Anyway, what did I do again? well i flashed the abyss kernel and then immediately via CWM tried to restore my Criskelo ROM and it would not get past the boot up screen, "the one before the animation" ....i wiped cache, tried restoring my stock Rom, tried wiping dalvick cache, you name it. None of that work, the only thing i could get into at the time was CWM and Odin mode "download mode".....I continued to try to figure it out for my self, and tried repeatedly to flash via odin.....back to a stock rom and i screwed up so much more now because of that. I can't get into clockworkmod anymore....i can't get into recovery, NONE OF THAT ....Only thing i see when i put on my phone is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." ...I can get into Odin mode, but NOTHING ELSE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELPPPPP ME!. I don't know what I am going to do if i don't back my phone.
btw, if you wanted to know how far I got in the whole flashing via Odin.

[Q] GT-S7500T stuck on CWM recovery

Yesterday something happened to my wife's phone - Galaxy Ace Plus GT-S7500T. The details are unclear, but she received notification of some sort of "software or firmware update" that was "not a normal update". After that it told her to reboot and since then the phone has been stuck on the CWM Recovery screen.
Things I have tried:
1. Cleared cache and Dalvik Cache.
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Update firmware using Odin 1.85 - gets stuck at "setup connection"
4. Update firmware using Odin 3.09 - gets stuck at "setup connection" - tried various USB cables including original Samsung cable
5. Update firmware using Kies - doesn't seem to do anything
6. Update firmware from CWM Recovery
a) GellyBread ROM
b) Elruki ROM
c) Elruki ROM with boot.img substituted from S7500TDVMJ1_S7500TTLPMJ1_TLP.zip
7. Update using Heimdall from Linux - fails to detect phone
Both the GellyBread and Elruki ROMs are meant for the 7500L but at this point I'm getting desperate.
I've wasted two evenings on this and I am just about ready to give up and buy her a new phone. Is there anything else I should try?

if you dont have a firmware in your phone and it gets to download mode there is no reason to fail at updating with odin
to solve that try reinstalling your drivers but uninstall KIES!
otherwise try a different port or a different computer but it seems like odin is the only solution

the point from your post "since then the phone has been stuck on the CWM Recovery screen."
It means you have CWM installed device [ Correct me if I'm wrong here ] even I guess you've root.
at this stage even if you get any official firmware/software update you strictly don't have to update your device.
you've rooted device, unlocked system at this stage if you update your device with official firmware you'll surely face these kind of bricking issue.
Solution as given above reinstall kies to update drivers also try to check unroot thread from General section once,
Detailed guide & firmware download links are there...
wish you get back your device soon... ​

Just to be clear, the CWM Recovery screen means it is in download mode?
This morning I have uninstalled Kies and tried Odin again.
Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers and tried Odin again. It now fails after a while rather than getting stuck.

Correct, I rooted it when we first got it. I was hoping to but Cyanogenmod on it but only after buying it discovered it was a 7500T and not a 7500.

Thank you. I do feel a bit stupid not realising this earlier - but now it seems to be working.
I guess I was confused about what it was that CWM Recovery replaced, and I'm sure I tried Volume Down + Home + Power earlier but obviously didn't press it quite right.

Odin seems to think everything is fine as it says Pass in green but the phone is still stuck in download mode with the same dialog .
By the way I've tried a lot more than 4 time with the same method I think it must be stuck on (4) though

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You can try a couple things. From a powered off state, hold volume up, power, home button. It should boot into the custom recovery, from there you want to wipe - cache, dalvik, and see if it boots. If not, Odin back to stock and start over. You'll need to find the correct file for your phone, probably on sammobile.com.

I tried the vol up, power and home but it goes straight to the download screen its stuck on , with the : could not do normal boot. etc
If I try odin back to stock firmware with the phone stuck like this is there any chance it would work?

Yes, it will work. Basically, you would be flashing the same thing Samsung does to restore a phone to factory status.

this why i don't do experiment to my phone before this phone all my phone was root because was cheap phones

There is nothing wrong with rooting an expensive phone, as long as you are prepared and have the files you need to recover from something gone wrong.

Yeah defiantly naive of me especially after coming from using apple not really knowing the first thing about android. although there's no info on there that mattered too much.
my only reason for rooting is so I can get an app like guardian I think its called or something similar made by XDA so I can regulate the apps I use as its pretty stupid some of the permissions you have to give to even basic apps such anything from browser history, access to contacts and caller id etc. when there is really no need.
im not paranoid I just don't believe you should give private info so readily. but im back to square one anyway haha

So you got it running?
