cannot use odin!!

my phones 3g stopped working 1 day after i flashed a new rom so i tried flashing it again and that didnt work so i am trying to go back to stock with the how to return to stock guide on here but i cannot get my pc to recognize my phone in downloading mode
i can adb when its on and the drivers are installed but when i boot into downloading mode it just says device is unrecognized
i have tried a different computer and reinstalled the drivers more times that i can remember. what would be the next step here?
is there anyway i can start fresh even if i lose root?

There needs to be a q&a section.
The drivers suck.
What os are you using. Persistence will be your friend. Don't forget to power cycle everything.

im using win 7 64bit

The win 7 drivers are actually vista drivers if I remember correctly.
Which Odin arevyou using? Do you have clockwork?

i have tried 1.0 and 1.3 nothing works. and yes i have clockwork thats how i install my roms.

any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).
Data Wipe + Clear Cache did not seem to help when in clockrecovery, the android market wont let me download anything

this looks like the other file that you will need.
apparently the first one writes system the second for the modem (phone/data)

lmfao your gonna kill me for this but as soon as i finished transfering the file to my sd card 3g just started working.... maybe it was just a glitch with my signal over here? im going to let it be and if it messes up tomorrow then i will flash that stock rom and see what happens...
incase it doesnt work where can i get that 2nd file and how do i install it?

This post here.

Not bricked ... but not good . help?

Hey guys , im not exactly a noob to modding ,flashing,etc. But i have a situation here. I was runningthe new Zinc Rom with Voodoo from Rom Manager. Everything was GREAT , but for some stupid reason i tried flashing the stupidfast kernal also from rom manager. I came from a droid X and we didnt have all these kernal flashes . So in that sense , i am a noob .
Anyhoo, after "flashing" the kernal i booted back up fine and dandy , but it was FC central . "The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again".
I have been reading the how to remove voodoo thread , but getting lost in all the posts and not even sure if thats what i need to be doing now .
used Odin to restore and everything works just fine...except for that FC over and over . Phone calls , Txts , everything . I just have a 2 second window to click what i want before the FC comes up again.
Can someone please assist? I hate to ask such a thing , but im grasping at straws here and have work tomorrow . Thanks guys . So much .

Hehe... similar problem here.
Mine was blackhole rom, but it's FCing over and over.

Did you guys disable voodoo before flashing the other kernels?

nope, im an idiot (not being sarcastic) . I knew i was supposed to and everything and just forgot. Is there any hope?

You may want to wait for a second opinion, but you'll probably need to do this:

yeah , thats what i have neem looking at. however , i cant boot into CWM i have the files and everything on my card , i just cant get there to do anything . whenever i try getting rom manager from the marketplace now (which is tedious now because of all the FCs) It tells me i have no room to install the app

Try getting into Clockwork Recovery by doing step 5 in the first post of the thread linked below.

I couldn't get to adb to begin with so I just went with it
I'll try and see what happens.

Power off. Hold down both the volume up + volume down + power to boot into stock recovery. Run update.zip to get to cwm.
And before you get chewed out, questions and problems should be directed to the general section, not dev.

Thanks for the heads up , ill repost over there. update.zip gives me an error btw. Im really needing this fixed . Like $50 bucks to your paypal or something haha seriously .

Hi there i did the same thing you did install that stupidfast kernal and got screwed and forgot to disable voodoo. so i used odin and did a complete restore back to stock. Everything worked great but fc everytime. So what i did is that i have all my clockwordmod backup files saved on my pc. I have put the backup file in the sd card in the clockwordmod backup folder, then i booted up the phone to the clockwordmod recovery that restored the backup that you save before you install the stupidfast kernal lolz i hope that helpz.

might have fixed it....

I hope you all fixed your phones somehow.
For future reference, this is the thread from AndroidCentral that I followed.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/fascinate-roms-hacks/38029-how-escape-force-close-loop-hell.html

I had this EXACT same problem but i finally fixed it last night.
What i did was first i restored with odin files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204
Next i flashed clockwork recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
Then Boot into clockwork recovery with the usb unplugged. hold the up volume key and then plug the phone into the usb. Then u should be able to adb push the voodoo uninstaller found here to your sd card and flash it through clockwork.
After that u should be all good. Just restore with nandroid and should be as good as new.
But yea after that i do suggest trying to stupid fast kernal because voodoo will be completely gone for sure... and it seriously is stupid fast...

[Q] HELP PLEASE!! Problem!!!

ok guys i kinda messed up. so i have the mytouch running the 1.14.531.1 software version, and i was following the "force update 2.2.1 and root" steps and i installed the step 1 file and renamed it and installed it. and now my wifi and data is jacked just like how its supposed to be in the article but my clockword recovery is not working to flash the "update.zip" file no matter what i do. so i downloaded the stock ROM and just want to start from scratch and install this but clockwork will not work correctly to flash anything. any other ideas how to fix this?! i even factory reset but that file i installed is still causing the problems and i need to just flash the stock rom completely and need help or suggestions to just get this fixed.
thanks!

when you say your trying to flash the update with clockwork your talking about the actual recovery right? (just asking cus since rom manager got big a lot of people seem to confuse that with recovery)

So is there a way to get a 600mhz step in the kernal for bonsai 4.0 last i heard he was going t put it in back in 3.0.1 but still not there. Or is there an easy way to included it in the kernal page file or something that set cpu uses? Also is there a way to get the voodoo color fix or a tweak that works that will make the brightness lower at the lowest setting for 4.0 becase the brightness on this screen is way to brght at night time. I used to have a tweak like this in syndicate rom for 2.1 it was great. Any info would be great thanks guys.

I installed bonsai 4.0.0.1 and it flashed fine, then it tried to restart and got stuck at the samsung boot screen, would not go past that.
So I battery pulled and tried to install another rom (verion 4) and it had an error in CW installing,
Then I tried installing a rom I have used before (epic experience) and CW would not install that one either.
So I used Odin to go back to stock everything and then unlocked it and now I am on a stock rom rooted.
Why do you think it is hanging there? I am scared to flash again as I think it will do the same? But if the forum needs the exact error msg I will install it again as I really want to get this rom working.
Thanks,

Good question as i was just going to as a question about EXT4 and CW.
The rom manger is version 3.0.1.4
however the CW mod flashed is version 3.0.2.4
It only has 2 to choose from in rom manger, 3.0.2.4 or an older 3.0.1.4
Not sure were people are getting these other versions from.

I can't remember what stepping is on the kernel as we have been beta testing 4.0.1 and have been mainly dealing with a new setCPU governor called interactive. Were also still working on the other governor called smartass as well. I think that the stepping goes directly from 400 to 800, but we are always looking to go faster and with better battery life. I'll bug Randy and Mammon about it.
The sound will be Voodoo version 7, but I don't think the Voodoo color fix is going to make it into 4.0.1. Sorry, but we can't do everything...at least not all at the same time.

Did I see a similar post on the Bonsai website earlier today? I just want to verify that you were using CWM 3.0.0.6 as anything else will cause problems like that. Also when you get to these kinds of problems you should attempt a second flash of Bonsai before going to the trouble of a ODIN job. A second flash seems to fix a whole variety of odd kind of problems.
As you can imagine with all the beta testing I do I'm always finding ways to corrupt my phone. Some days I have managed to bork it 3-5 times.
I decided to test out today a 4.0.1 install directly from DI18 > CWM 3.0.0.6 > Bonsai 4.0.1 full rom. It went great with no problems at all and running just fine, so far

I think that is my problem, I am using a the CW that came with the one click unroot.
So I guess I need to do this, even if I am already rooted?

Do not use Rom Manager to be installing the beta CWM files. The correct way is with one of the 1 step CWM tools in the development forum. 3.0.2.4 is half-finished and is very difficult even to navigate through the various menu's. I know this because I tried out that CWM version for some grins one day. It will majorly screw your Epic if your not extremely careful. When DI18 was prevalent Rom Manager worked great to root your phone. When we started the move into the Froyo roms Rom Manager quit working and that is why the 1 click then became more prevalent.
Just follow the directions posted all over the place and Bonsai will install just fine and you will be a happy camper.

I am installing it now after updating to CW3 (from CW2.5) . I think it will come out fine now, I am an idiot and didn't realize the original one click root installed an older version of CW.
Thx All,

Some people do and some don't I do know that Randy has instituted quite a few bluetooth linux upgrades into 4.0.1 rom. Some people are able to clear the data, but the problem usually reappears. Mattalica76 has the link to a more permanent fix to this problem, give him a PM.

Don't beat yourself up as we all have been there. It's a process of learning new skills and a new language. Give yourself a pat on the back for getting through this when 98% of the world would have said screw it or not even tried at all.

Actually it didnt boot this time either, it installed the firs ttime fine, then kept booting after samsung in a loop,

Thanks for the support T Nurse,
I loaded the EC05 stock from Odin as I still dont have a grasp on EXT4 file system.
last thing I tried was cw3.0.0.6 and loaded Bonsai and it installed, just hung at samsung screen. might be a corrupt rom file.
1) So after flashing CW3, bonsai is supposed to change the file system over to EXT4 automatically after flashing, correct?
2) will windows 7 be able to read the sd card after it is changed over to ext4 (by bonsai), or will it have 2 partitions, one windows can read fat32 and the other ext4 it cant.

CWM3 will convert your filesystem to ext4 the first time you boot into it. It won't touch the sdcard so that won't be converted. After CWM is finished with the conversion, do not reboot the phone, you will then flash Bonsai.

After flashing the boot script of cwm 3.0.0.6 you then have to power off. Then hold down the camera button, vol down, and power keys at the same time and the EXT4 script will automatically start to format your system. Please keep in mind that it is not formatting the SD card, but only the read only memory of the phone.
After you finished a few beers it will be done and will drop you back to cwm. Do not reboot, but flash bonsai. After bonsai is finished then reboot.

[Q] Best Android Version For Calls, Gaming and Surfing

First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.

Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App

I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

Thanks for replying!
I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.

buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.

I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..

hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...

if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you

Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?

to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)

Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...

i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1
