2. With ODIN I can repartition (get ok)
3. I can download with ODIN Kernels
4. But when I update firmware from SamMobile it is doing all the way and then always FAIL (tried more than 5 versions of firmwares)
I get this on ODIN:

I9100G
hi
get an I9100g PID
check repartition
choose your PDA .tar file
flash your phone
you need a good PID for i9100g

The i9100G is NOT the same GSII as the i9100. It has a different processor and CPU (TI-OMAP). Therefore, most of the ROMs won't be compatible.

[Q] Galaxy Exhilarate stuck during emergency recovery

First off, I am a complete Android/PC noob (have used solely apple products until this phone, and an Acer aspire comp. i got 2 weeks ago).
I have been using the Exhilarate with android GB, and wanted to upgrade to ICS. I downloaded Samsung Kies, backed up my phone, and began the firmware upgrade, however once the progress reached 70%-80%, the device came unplugged. after restarting the phone, it is stuck on a screen that says:
upper left corner of screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name:SGH-I577
Custom Binary Download: YES(2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
Center of screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
When I reconnect and attempt to do the emergency firmware recovery using kies, it completes the downloading of the file for firmware emergency recovery, but once it moves on to "proceed to firmware emergency recovery", it stops working (the progress bar is stuck at 0%)
After waiting a little while, the emergency recovery closes, and a message shows saying:
Notice-F PC failed to recognize the mobile phone. Please follow the guide shown below to try again
I gave up on kies, and did some searching of my own. I downloaded the latest version of Odin, as well as the Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar. I made sure there was nothing Kies-related running on my computer, opened up Odin, loaded the clockwork .tar, turned the phone on into download mode (it says Warning!, asks if I want to go into download mode, and then returns to the Odin Mode screen once I say yes). the device is shown as added to odin, I clicked start, and it seemed to be working, and then a big red FAIL appeared in the top left box, and the message box said:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> recovery.img
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried re-installing drivers, different versions of the .tar file (i think they are diff. versions, but not completely sure) rebooting the device many many times, among other things. If anyone has any idea of where to go from here, i would be EXTREMELY grateful.
thank you guys

One more thing
OP here still:
I tried again with a different version of Odin. this time it failed once again, but got a bit further. (everything else was the same):

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
also, I have only checked the Auto reboot box in odin. All others were left blank

I am having a very similar problem with my SGS3 - were you able to solve your problem? If so, can you share how you did?

[Q] I717 Odin Flash help; What's wrong?

I've soft bricked my Galaxy Note I717 3 times in the last week while trying to update to the Jellybean firmware. Samsung Kies does not work. It says that there was a communication error during the upgrade process, whatever that means. I took it to the ATT store and they revived it within a few minutes with no data loss. This happened twice. I just tried to manually flash the update using odin, but I get this message:
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Now I'm stuck in download mode. I tried to flash the Jellybean ROM again, but it stops right there. I'm currently runnin the stock ICS firmware. Any suggestions?

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S5 Bricked.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900R6, and have been trying to downgrade from Android 5.0 Lollipop to Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, I have followed several threads on how to do so but I always came up with the same error when using Odin.

I also tried using TWRP 2.8.4 and still no luck when I tried to install from an SD Card, the error I was getting here was

Error flashing zip '/G900R6WWU2ANK1_G900R6LRA2ANK1_LRA.zip'
No in so many attempts on trying to install I gave up and decided to just stick with Lollipop, but the problem now is that I my phone does no longer start. When I go in to Recovery mode (TWRP) and select Reboot a message shows up stating that "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?
Now like I said I just wish to go back to be able to use my phone! What advice can you guys give me? (Besides for the future to leave these things to the experts)

S6 NAND Write Operation Failed SM-G920F

Hi everyone,
On my S6 all of a sudden I got the blue screen saying that I need to connect it with Smart Switch for a Recovery. Smart Switch wont recognize the S6. So I tried with Odin to flash a new stock firmware but I keep getting NAND Write Operation Failed after boots.img.
This phone hasnt been used for several months, but I want to recover it because there are very valuable holiday photos on it. So the internal memory cant be wiped. I a hoping that flashing a stock rom will make the phone boot again.

I have tried various stock roms and also various usb cables. The phone was last used in the 1st week of october, so the first rom (6.0.1.) I tried to flash was the lastest prior to it (september). After that I tried August and then I jumped in time to January because I read about a rollback isnt possible. After January (the last month for 6.0.1) I decided to try the latest stock rom avaible for 7.0.
My phone is unbranded but just incase I also tried the 3 branded roms for my country (the netherlands) for vodafone, T-Mobile and Ben. All tried roms gave the same response as stated above.
I also tried to unpack the tar file and use TarCreator to create a separate Tar file for each .img. Then flash them 1 by 1 in Odin. But again the same Nand write error is given.
Odin versions that I used: 1.85 and 1.10.6
Things I didnt try yet:
Pit I kept the Pit empty on Odin. After some research it still wasnt clear to me if using a stock Pit file would not wipe the internal memory.
I hope some here could clarify that. And if I can safely use a Pit file, do i then 1st run the pit file, restart Odin and then flash the Rom. Or can i just enter them both at the same time/session?
BootloaderI found some info that said that boatloader might be corrupted? Again also about that I couldnt find a clear answer if it would wipe the internal memory. Also I am not sure where to find good boatloader files.
I've spend now 3 days on google searching solutions and trying different roms and I dont know what to try next. I hope one of the experts on this forum might know another solution or can give a clear answer on the Pit or Boatloader options.
Kind regards.

Try with Newest ODIN (3.12.7) instead of a Very Old ODIN for at Android 2.2 only (3.08) -> thedroidguru.com/download-latest-odin-odin3-all-versions-full-collection

Thanks! Somehow I was under the assumption that 3,18 was higher but I see the mistake now.

After boot.img the phone turns off black screen, then goes back to the smart switch recovery screen. Gave it a few more tries and tried with Auto Boot enable and disabled. After the last attempt the phone screen stays black, even when plugged into the charger
Also Ive noticed that the right side of the phone now gets very hot when plugged in.

The screen still stays black. The phone wont even turn on anymore :/

Flashing stock will wipe your data anyway. There is a chance it won't format your internal storage though. If there is VERY important data, you should go to a professional data recovery service.
