I tried flashing a firmware with Odin.
It got stuck on "setup connection".
I tried again, same problem.
I tried again, flash went trough, but got stuck on flashing modem.bin
I rebooted, phone didn't boot
I tried flashing again, stuck at the same place.
Then I gave up and tried Heimdall, everything worked fine.
Constructive thread. Thanks.

You can really see the intelligence oozing out of you.
Oh wait, no... That's definitely not intelligence.
Seriously guys, am I the only one facing such issues? Is it common for Odin to fail?
Do you have Kies installed? if so, was it running in the background? (it has two processes visible in task manager)
These have caused me issues unless killed. Otherwise, can I ask which version of Odin you were using?

It has failed on me in the past. Of course, solving it was only a matter of retrying. I've used in more than, I'd say, 500 times. I believe it has failed me twice.
If Heimdall works for you, I'd suggest sticking with that.

I looked in the process list for anything kies or nps but didn't find any.
I think I removed kies from the startup some times ago.
I tried Odin 1.82

I've never had any trouble with Odin, are you sure you use it correctly? you know, like getting your phone in download mode first, installing drivers, use a Odin firmware and not a CWM one, etc.
I think in task manger theit kiestrayagent and another one. Kill them before launching Odin and attaching USB cable to your laptop. Odin works fine although sticking on setupconnection is normal nd happens.

Yes. Or the transfer wouldn't even start.
Never any issues with Odin or Kies. And I flash alot. Also I like to reinstall windows pretty often, reinstalling KIES and Odin still no problems.
Never had any problems with Odin, 4 or 5 flashes now without incident.

Odin 1.82? As I know there's 1.0, 1.3 and 1.7. Maybe you're using Odin made for other Samsung device...

I had put on the ICS 4.0.3 from the google code project.
It worked fine, but I wanted to go back to my fully functional phone. I earlier had darky's 10.2.2 EE.
For going back to Darky's, I downloaded the latest pakcage 10.4.2 and went into CWM. It failed to update. then I tried wiping the cache etc, then also it failed to flash the package.
Then I tried using CWM's restore and wanted to go back to image prior to darky 10.2.2.. that also failed.
now when I rebooted system, hoping to do a factory reset, the phone is not booting up.
I tried connecting odin in download mode, that odin cant see the phone, even though the download mode is visible on the phone.
need help, seriously, and urgently...

If you have download mode you will be fine, its only a soft brick.
If its not recognizing your phone in download mode it means drivers are not installed properly, download kies from Samsung it will install correct drivers.
Try again full stock gb rom with Odin and reparation selected.
Also post in help next time.

First of all, I think that you wrote in the wrong forum, should be in General section.
That said... if you can enter download mode, then your phone is NOT bricked.
Just install (or reinstall) Samsung USB drivers for your PC, and Odin will connect again.
Edit: I tought I was the first to reply but it seems others were quicker in that

Apologies for the wrong forum, I guess I was too panicky...
Now I found a solution, use odin with a different computer (which had the drivers etc set up), then get this rom
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
flash it using the instructions given, and wow, the phone is back to life.
After that, I I upgraded to Darky's 10.4.2 and it looks good so far..
Thanks for the help, tips, ideas and the patience for my mis-placed msg in this forum.
what would I do without open source community ?

Reported as junk. Because people are serious and you are not more clever than anyone here.
This document from my ROM project.
You need to start from "How to install JVU stock Firmware" part and stop at installing GamerzRom step.
Please report this thread for moving it right place. Be careful mate. You can't switch from Cyanogenmod and ICS to Samsung based roms from CWM. You need to flash original rom with repartition again.
If your PC doesn't see the device, try Ubuntu live cd or Virtualbox. You can flash your phone with heimdall on Ubuntu. If you need help about this just PM me. Take care mate.

Just to make you know. You shouldnt flash any stock based from over cm/ics rom, because it runs on totally different partitioning and file systems.....flashing this will most likely cause soft brick....next tikme use Odin if coming from cm/ics roms to stock ones

Just try flashing via ODIN again. Mine would get stuck sometimes and I would just unplug my phone, exit Odin, plug the phone back in and start the flash again..
Did you wipe system, data, cache,delvik, all that good stuff, before you flashed?

Check the md5 on the file, reflash, or just flash the modem in heimdall

I have an AT&T galaxy s4 that will not boot up. I tried to flash the ROM and install SlimBean 4.2.2 build 6. after it was installed and everything, the screen went black and will not show anything. It wont go into recovery mode and vibrates every 5 seconds whenever i power it on. i tried to flash the stock rom using odin, but that didnt work either. somebody please help!
Can you provide a link to exactly what it was you flashed?

i cant post outside links yet, but i used the one off of phone rebel's website. i found the link under "How To Unroot & Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4 – Return To Stock AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon & More!"
Firstly, why would you flash anything off an iOS website? Secondly, I meant a link to what you flashed before it bricked, not after.

attempted to flash it using odin, but nothing has changed.
I'm unable to get into recovery mode or boot up the device. I can only go in to download mode. Any attempt to boot up the device or go in to recovery mode results in a blank screen and small vibrations every 5 seconds.
this all started after i attempted to flash SlimBean on to my US AT&T Galaxy S4.

If you can go to download mode you can Odin back to stock. There's tons of Odin guides. I can't link because I'm on mobile but I'm sure you can search. As long as you have download mode youre not bricked and all is fine. Just be sure to have latest Samsung drivers installed for your PC.

It sounds like you tried to flash a ROM or Kernel that is not intended for the AT&T S4 and bricked your phone (screwed up your partitions). If so, you might want to look into JTag repair services. There is a PIT file available for the 16GB version of the phone but I wouldn't touch it if you don't know what you are doing.
Odin is working fine, and whenever i try to flash it back to stock, odin says that it passed, everythings good, etc. But then when phone reboots, it just stays at that blank screen and keeps vibrating.
And could you refer me to a guide or something on PIT files or JTAG services, please?
Exactly what he did, looks as if he flashed the incorrect kernel.
Odin is the answer.

pull your battery and wait a few seconds. place the battery back in and immediately press the recovery button combo (vol up + home + power. release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner).
if this gets you into recovery, wipe data and cache. reboot.
In Odin are you using the phone option or the pda option?
Please make sure you follow the Odin instructions exactly to the T.

and i tried the recovery combo a few times, nothing showed up. it just kept vibrating like before

I'm having the exact same problem, seems like I did something similar (i.e. install the wrong kernel). Any help/assistance would greatly be appreciated

You guys need to start providing links to exactly what you flashed. How is anyone supposed to know if it really was a "wrong kernel" or if it was a seemingly correct kernel that people should stay away from?

i did earlier. i tried to flash slimbean on to mine (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292474) which is under the AT&T GS4 section, so i thought it wouldve been compatible. i was obviously wrong.
So this is what happened to me:
I flashed the foxhound rom (link) using CWM, (Wipe data, clear cache, & clear delvik cache. It installed perfectly, but because this is not an AT&T rom, I was having wifi issues.
Rather rewiping the data, clearing all caches and reinstalling the rom and then the ktweaker kernel, I just installed the ktweaker kernel (link) that I got off from galaxys4root.com.
This was my first time using this kernel with this rom. Since it was an AOSP rom I uses this kernel because it was also AOSP.
So now I'm stuck in this cycle where my phone vibrates every 3 seconds on a blank screen. I can enter download mode and I have used odin to flash original stock firmware, but I come back to this same issue every time. As OP mentioned, I am also not able to access CWM recovery after holding down keys to enter recovery.
NOTE: I believe every time the phone vibrates (every 3 seconds), the phone itself is rebooting. Therefore I don't have enough time enter recovery.
Hey guys I installed the rom Super.Fast&LolliFamous™ (don't remember the exact version, but i can find this out), but a few days ago my phone started bugging out. It started lagging, vibrating and replaying sounds when going into lags, forcing me to reboot it. this helped the first time but an hour later it started again and now i can't boot it properly at all. I am able to get it into download mode and recovery with luck and a few tricks, but odin wont recognize the phone when connected to a pc (tried with 2 pc's and 6 different usb ports). I was able to flash another rom, but this did not fix the problem a bit (Alliance 2.2). With the same problem still there I tried flashing the stock rom over Odin, but as mentioned Odin won't recognize the phone. I have tried Installing/uninstalling Kies as well as Installing/uninstalling the samsung drivers on both pc's. Any help would be very appreciated!
