Guys please help. Odin does not recognize my phone in download mode but does when its on the samsung screen. Should I odin it back with the samsung screen? The reason I bricked my phone was because I accidentaly flashed stock 2.2 kernel over nero v4 voodoo with voodoo enabled, and also flashed jl5 modem at the same time. Also on the samsung screen it says file analysis and stays stuck on it. How can I get my odin to recognize my phone in download mode.
Please anyone?
Ok, so how far do you get when you boot up?
and are u able to reach recovery mode?
if you can reach download mode on your phone everything should be fine, try restarting odin and then plugging the usb cord into your computer then hold down volume down and plug usb into phone, worked for me when i was having the same problem
Make sure you have a later version of Odin running. Had issues with the earlier versions.

Guys. Please help. Each time I plug my phone in download mode, it tells me that windows does not recognize it, but does when it is on the vibrant samsung screen. Can anyone please help me out here?
I've tried every way possible of getting ODIN to give me a yellow COM box with no positive results.
Followed instructions to the T everytime. Tried all 4 different USB ports on my desktop, Ive tried three different versions of ODIN, v1.0, v1.3, and v1.7.
What am I trying to do in ODIN you might ask? Flash my phone back to stock. I had AXURA 2.2.7.1 and wanted to go back to 2.1 eClair. ODIN stopped mid-flash to stock, so I went to sleep and left it alone, Woke up with the same situation. Pulled cord, pulled battery. Now I get the "Phone ! Computer" sign.
Really need to recover my phone as fast as possible, as it is the only phone I have (No landline either!)
Why am I not getting a COM port #?
Open up Odin .
Then plug the cable into the PC only .
Then pull the battery from the phone and wait about 5 seconds .
Now hold both volume buttons and put the battery back in (dont let go) .
Still holding the both volume buttons now plug in the usb cable to the phone .
You should now be in download mode and Odin should see the phone .
If not try using a different usb port preferably one directly off the motherboard .
Also try right clicking MY COMPUTER then selecting MANAGE then click Device MANAGER to see if it being recognized .
Followed your instructions twice, nothing. Checked device manager and I dont see anything indicating the phone is being recognized.
It's a driver issue. You need to use the Samsung Mobile driver rather than the SGH-t959_Vibrant_USB_Drivers driver. There was a thread or even multiple threads containing both drivers. The Kies Mini contains the Samsung Mobile driver. Do a search or something and you'll find them. There are multiple ways you can do this. If you want, you can try uninstalling whatever driver you have now. Uninstall Kies Mini if you have it installed and still not recognized. Reboot and reinstall Kies Mini. reboot and do you Odin thing. GL
Have you installed the drivers .
If not download and install the drivers found here .

Its fixed. Apparently the drivers I downloaded on my desktop were wrong, or something. Went upstairs and grabbed my mom's laptop that I was using last night when this problem happened, and it went right through. Thanks all!
I tried searching thoroughly, but nothing matched my problem and no solution worked. I hope someone out there can help me with this:
My vibrant had TMO's Froyo with Team Whiskey's Bionix V and Dragon voodoo OC v3.1 kernel
I used clockwork 2.5.1.3 to flash Bionix V 1.2 with voodoo.
I didnt disable voodoo (first time i ever did that, being told that I didnt need to by friends and numerous forums.)
Phone rebooted, showing Dragon's logo, then a strange split-second blip occured and I was back into clockwork red. I tried rebooting and the same thing happened.
Now, my phone reboots only into clockworkmod red (can still access clockwork green by "apply sdcard:update.zip").
Cannot odin because usb is no longer working for some reason (which means I cannot adb either).
I can only access download mode through clockwork 2.5.1.3 (advanced ->Reboot to Download Mode).
when I plug in to recharge, it shows the battery with the loading circle in the center, then the phone reboots to cwm red.
After getting frustrated, I foolishly started applyig all wipes and attempted to install all zip files i had. all files say E:cant mount yadda yadda.
I'm at a total loss. I dont think I bricked because the phone turns on and I can access red and green clockwork.
Please, someone help...I dont wanna throw the phone from the roof only to get a hardware locked one from TMO's warranty, lol.

You should be able to Odin..try these steps
Remove battery and put it back in (to make sure phone is powered off)
Disconnect USB from phone and Open Odin
While holding both Volume buttons...insert USB back into phone
Phone should boot into Download mode
Odin that sh*t
I did all that, i dont get the COMM port in Odin, so I did "adb devices", and got "list of devices attached" with no list. When I insert the USB cable, I dont even hear the usual windows tone acknowledging the new device. This leads me to believe that the USB on the phone is not working. tried it with 2 different cables on 2 different phones using all USB ports.

do you have the correct drivers? try installing the drivers from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
and try again
I've used odin in mid Jan, so I know the drivers are up to date.
Here's what will freak you out even more. if I remove the battery while the phone is plugged in (to the wall or to the computer), the phone shuts off. BUT, if the phone is off with the battery in and I plug the phone (again, to wall or comp), the battery indicator with loading circle shows up. before I know how much battery I have left, the phone automatically boots into red cwm without me touching anything. I can post a video on youtube if it will help at all.

did you make a Nandroid prior to flashing??
I did, but I get:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/bloc
k/mmcblk0)
(Device or resource busy)
Can't mount /sdcard
Do you think I royally screwed my phone?

No not really

Getting Odin to work is your best bet
you say the phone can go into download mode...but if Odin can't recognize it then there's 1 of 2 things goin on:
1. The correct drivers are not installed
2. You arent using the up-to-date Odin
Odin is the way to go, I used odin and got the stock vibrant files from google, it is not a rom its the original stock vibrant files
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok,
reinstalling driver v1.3.450.0 from the link you sent me.
using Odin 1.7
Its not that odin cant recognize, its that the usb appears to not be working except to show the empty battery with the loading circle. I'll try again, and make a video so you can see whats going on.
Try rebooting your computer also. Sometimes when my computer will not connect to my phone a reboot fixes the problem.
Just to re-itterate.
After you have re-installed drivers, reboot your PC.
Then open Odin up.
Then pull your battery on you phone, put it back in, hold only the volume buttons and plug the usb cable in. (Just in case, take out SD CARD and SIM card, older version of odin didn't like those being in either)
Load PIT and JFD stock rom.
Flash.
Double check the following.
You need to make sure ODIN is already up and running first. Also make sure that you are not using a USB extender or HUB as odin often does not like those. If you are using a desktop, plug the cable directly into the USB port in the back of the PC.
If you are using a LT, try different ports as not all USB ports provide full power on all laptops.
The PC reboot is important. I have seen ADB get stuck in the background and nothing works right. Let us know how it goes.
I can tell you that you are not completely bricked. As long as you are getting into CWM you are still ok.
so i tried to update my phone to EC05 thru odin with the sydicaterom 1.1 (i was on 1.0.2) so i downloaded the modem and the odin package on this website for it and when i tried to flash it (was in download mode on my phone) it went stright to fail in odin and then my phone reset and now when i turn on my phone or plug it into the computer or wall charger it comes up with a little picture of a phone and then 2 dots and then a ! and then a little computer . and when i try to hold the power,cam,volume down buttons it does the same the only thing i can do on my phone is enter download mode thru power and holding 1 what can i do i am stuck. when i plug my phone into the computer so odin can read it nothing happens even when i put it in download mode my 2 computers wont read my phone

Your phone is probably not bricked if you can enter download mode.
Have you tried a different cable??? Also, for now - just to see if your phone is in bad shape, I would try to download a stock DI18 or something. Maybe the ROM image you have is corrupted.
tryin to find a different cable right now my kids went and hid my usb cable for my phone and using my gfs phone usb (which is a LG) but until then this is all i got lol but yea i did try different roms and the DI18 and EB which i was on and odin wont even get my phone to pop up

Why would you odin in the first place when we have the flashable.zips... Much easier. Just go back into download mode and reodin and you should be just fine.
i found the right cable but odin still wont find my phone =/. thats the problem is that odin wont do anything because it wont see my phone in download mode i DID get into CWM and tried reinstalling my roms and stuff but when it gets done installing whatever i want to install it restarts and goes to the whole phone and computer icon
Look through the general section in this forum and go to the how to video thread. It will show you how to properly use odin. There is also a video showing you how to update to ec05. Id post the link but I'm on my phone.

This happened to me and I had to pull my battery and start up in download mode again. Try that.
did what that guide said to do i put in download mode and plug my cable in and still no go it will not connect to computer nothing comes up in odin. i tried takin battery out and sd card and putting them back in and no go (also did with out battery in the phone)
I thought my phone was bricked it was stuck, I had pulled the battery out several times and nothing, so I left the battery out for a couple of hours and when I put the battery back in it started working, not sure why just happy it did, word to the wise sprint wont work on the phone unless you have everything back to stock, I tried before leaving the battery out, before I got to sprint the phone wouldnt do anything let it off over night to take to sprint to try and get a new one I figured since it wont boot at all they will never know, but as luck would have it when I got to sprint after giving up on the phone and leaving it off over night, the sprint rep turns it on and it goes straight to clock work :0, its worth a try
Did you install the samsung drivers?? Did you try different micro usb cables?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
tried different cables, different computers, different drivers, still nothing
Good news: As long as you can enter Download mode on your phone, it should not be bricked
Bad news: there are many reasons a computer would not see a phone in download mode
1) wrong/bad drivers
2) bad cable
3) bad/flakey USB port on computer
4) bad/flakey usb port on phone
my tip: With the phone in download mode, instead of trying to use ODIN, download the EB13 SWUpdate exe and try using that. It will wipe the phone just like ODIN, but is a lot less tempermental, and almost foolproof compaired to ODIN, and will retore the phone to stock EB13, at which point the EC05 update can be copied to the SD Card and then run to update to EC05
So I got my phone a month ago. Just rooted and kept stock ROM.
Now keeping getting prompt to install MK2... So finally got around to looking at it today.
I downloaded the stockish ROM, but it says I need to be on MK2 before I flash. So Im trying to install MK2 via the instructions here.
I have ODIN and the file, but I cannot get my phone to be recognized on either computer I have when I open ODIN. I've tried to update the drivers, etc and nothing. All it does when I plug in my phone is charge. I dont see the option to change the MTP either.
Just need some help. Im not a newb, but im stuck and have spent a couple hours trying to figure out where to go.

You have to put your phone in download mode to use odin. Power off your phone, then while holding down volume press and hold power until it boots into the download mode menu. Select volume up to enter download mode. Now connect your phone to the computer and odin should recognize it.

Thanks... But I've tried this. And while I am in download mode, when I open up ODIN, it screen never goes green. So I know it doesnt recognize the phone. I've tried to close and reopen the app and unplug and replug the phone, which usually solves this issue to no avail. Its like it doesn't recognize the phone at all... Which I used the same computer to root the phone in the first place, so totally weird to me.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of Odin (3.09?) and running it as an administrator. If you have Kies installed, uninstall it. If all that fails, uninstall and reinstall the Samsung drivers. Should fix the problem.
And you are just trying install the MK2 modem correct?
