Stuck on ATT World Phone screen

Phone is stuck on att white world phone logo and is not going to download mode by holding the volume buttons and power, and or volume down and power.
When i hold the buttons and plug it in and all i see is a damn battery that goes on then off. Odin is open and does seem change.
All this just to get some bloatware and fix a gps.

Try the third option which is the only one works for me:
1. Take battery out and put back
2. Hold both Vol buttons. Don't touch the power button.
3. Plug in the USB cable to your PC. Don't touch the power button.
Your phone should boot into download mode right away. Remember, don't ever touch the power button.

WOW
wow dude perfect you saved me from freaking out! hah SOLVED thanks a million bad power button!

You're welcome. There is now even another hardware hack that can force the phone into download mode even if none of the buttons work. It is posted in i9000 forum.

Entering Download Mode but odin not working
I can get in to download mode but when I open odin3 there is nothing in the text boxes and when I press start it just says all threads completed 0/0 failed. And does the same thing for master clear.
When I turn the phone on with SIM in and hold the up/down + power it enters the clockwork stuff and I have tried the restore default option and recovery option. I was hoping download mode would help but didn't.
If anybody can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Here is the procedure you need to follow:
1. Install the proper driver so that ODIN can see your phone when plugged in. Drivers are listed in the thread where you download ODIN.
2. Open ODIN with phone not attached. Select the firmware file (*.rar) you want to flash in PDA field.
3. Power off the phone and enter into download mode and connect the phone to PC.
4. Wait for the driver to install and your phone recognized. It will show up in one of the boxes in ODIN.
5. Once your phone is recognized, press Start button on ODIN to start the flash process.
6. Leave the PC and phone alone for a few minutes and pray (that your phone didn't get bricked in the process).

Ok I got it to recognize but I don't know what (*.rar) I am supposed to flash. Do i just put the cognition folder in it or what.
Thanks for the reply

I want to flash cognition but when i press pdf on odin3 it doesn't see it...any ideas?

Cog does not use Odin. Just get clockwork recovery and install it. Then boot into recovery and flash cog. Go to stickies in dev section, there are guides.

I try to select cognition.rar but says it needs a .tar file. What do I do to make it work?

Cog does not install with Odin unless dg added that. You need to unrar it. Download winrar and extract it, see what's inside.

This guide lays it out pretty well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Personally, here's what I use to do. Go to the Dev section and search for ClockworkMod Recovery. Search that thread for the update.zip. I'm sure it's in there. Put the update.zip on your internal storage, ie, when you plug phone into pc with USB the thing you mount and store file on, not an added SD card.
Boot into stock recovery. Choose reinstall packages, it reboots. Choose reinstall packages again, now your in Clockwork. Choose > install zip from sdcard > choose zip file > then navigate to Cognition (assuming you've put that on your internal storage also) and select it. It flashes, choose reboot. Bam! You're running Cognition.

[GUIDE] Noobs guide to Odin to flash your SGS4G (Windows)

UPDATED 04/08/11 - Thanks for the comments to make this process less confusing
I have seen a lot of questions about how to use Odin to flash your SGS4G. I am a noob as well and had to search throughout the forums to get the answers so here it is, plain and simple:
1. Download the Stock + Root rom (.tar file) posted by Krylon360 (kudos) HERE, or a rom from anyone else that has one being built for the SGS4G (use caution, do not attempt to flash a rom for a different device!)
2. Install the SGS usb driver 32-bit or 64-bit
3. Download Odin 1.7 HERE and RUN IT FIRST (before you plug in your phone in step 5 - this allows Odin to find your phone)
4. Remove your memory and sim card (I did this because Odin failed to flash my phone when they were present)
5. Put your SGS4G into Download mode (Hold volume up + volume down then plug in your usb cable running from the compy) You should see a big triangle symbol
6. Wait for your computer to install all drivers (takes a minute)
7. In Odin click the PDA button and select the rom (.tar file)
8. Make certain that Re-Partition is not checked
9. Click the start button and let it do its magic (takes a couple minutes)
10. After it completes your phone will reboot into recovery mode
11. Select reboot system now with the power button (takes a couple minutes to establish the new system)
Like everyone has said before, we are not responsible if you brick your phone. This process worked flawlessly for me.
My thanks go out to the people that are working on the roms and recovery systems that make this all possible. You should thank them by donating or by clicking the thanks button.

I was not able to root my phone using SuperOneClick Root and I used this process TO root my phone with krylon's stock + root ROM so I am no sure this step is necessary. Just my two cents. . .

Good point. Didnt think about that.

I've never heard of you having to root your phone for using Odin to flash your phone. As long as you can get into download mode. You should be able to flash your phone using Odin.
Also I've never had to remove my memory or sim card either. This is true with my SGS4G and when I had my Vibrant.
Please provide download links to Odin and stock TAR for the Super Noobs. Not all noobs know how to use the Search..hehe.

i never removed my memory card or sim and it still works fine

Step 1 -- Get a Windows box
Also, ODIN is available off links at http://www.samfirmware.com/

Do you guys know how long it usually takes for Odin to do its thing? I've been waiting for 20 minutes and it's stuck at
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
Thanks.

You are in Recovery mode. To flash the rom with Odin you need to be in Download mode.

The easiest way for me was to start with the battery out, then plug in the usb and hold down both volume buttons and then put the battery back in. Not sure if this is necessary but the way your describing sounds like it puts you in recovery mode. Does the usb cable being in automatically put you in download mode? (at work or I would test this)

Whatever way gets you in there
If the usb cable is plugged in first, it sets the phone into a battery charge mode (not sure if that's what it is called exactly) and does not allow you to go into download mode if you try pressing vol up and down.

Thats the quickest way to get into download mode.
I either do it that way and pull the battery out first or when the phone is off I'll hold the volume up and down and then plug in the usb cable. Either way works best with me.

I know the OP does not list this but I use this quick and easy way with my phone plugged in and turned on.
open command prompt (windows key + r, then type cmd)
cd C:\Android-sdk-windows\tools (C drive is where my sdk folder is)
adb reboot download
The phone will reboot and go right into download mode. never have to pull battery or push multiple buttons. Hope I dont confuse anyone

You need to reflash cwm with Odin the stock recovery overwrites cwm when your on the stock ROM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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.

N920PSPT2BPD1_SPR tar

Hello pals,
I haven't see this around here but here is the original PD1 tar for sprint also you can root and do the same as the previous update.
how to install.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF BATTERY TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE.
Then press the vol down + power + home button. This puts you into “Download Mode”.
NOW plug your phone in and let Odin recognize it
Let’s click on the START button at the bottom of ODIN and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SCREEN.
The phone will reboot and start up Android, and this is fine for this portion of the process.
It will reboot and you ready to go.
if you want to root again Installing TWRP the same way with odin reboot to recovery and install “SuperSU-v2.71-N920p.zip”

Something went wrong with my 930T when I tried to flash the deodexed rom and root. Now the phone is stuck on an all-black screen and is only recognized by my computer as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader. Is there a straight-forward (or non-straightforward) way to get the phone into download mode or to manually restore it.

Did the problem occur after the flash of the rom or after rooting?
And have you tried putting it in recovery mode or download mode already?

It occurred after rooting. I have tried to use various key presses (no responses when not connected to a computer, power down for a while does get a disconnect sound from windows). Nothing has gotten anything to pop up on screen. I have the odin restore files ready once I figure out how to get the phone to download mode.

*Also Before you try this turn it off and let it charge for an hour or so...*
So in that case I'd attempt the same key presses to put it in download mode even if nothing is displayed...
1. Volume Down + Power + Home to put it in download mode
2. Then press Volume Up to continue past the warning screen even if nothing is displayed.
3. Grab The Latest Version of Odin here
4. Then Download The Stock Firmware, in this case you will need whichever version you have (if you do not remember you can just download the latest available firmware) Download Firmware and then extract it. (If you have 5 different files in the zip go to step 8)
5. Then install Samsung device drivers(if not already).
6. Start Odin, Plug in the S7, Load in the tar.md5 in the AP/PDA and uncheck Auto Reboot and Repartition.
7. Let the phone restart... VIOLA!!!
8. Alternatively if the zip has 5 files... They should all start with the corresponding buttons in Odin For Example:
AP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
After they are entered into Odin you hit start and after a few minutes ... It should be fixed....
Let me know if you have any further questions or issues...
