asking for help. a dead i9000.

Hi guys, I bought a sim free samsung galaxy i9000 in London last week.
Several days later, I tried to root it. Then, I got a dead i9000, stopping on the galaxy logo when try to swtich it on.
I downloaded Odin3, and tried to use different i9000 firmwares to revive my i9000. It did not work.
Everytime I try, I just got nothing. The log on Odin shows like following:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
Then nothing happens, no progress bar or other things, even one hour later.
I have tried on 3 different laptops with Win7 32bit or Win XP SP3 32bit.
I can use Android System Recovery on i9000 now, and Odin can find the phone on COM4.
Can anyone here help me to slove this problem? I do not want my i9000 to be just a brick.

did you put the phone in "download mode" while using odin?

yes. I press Home, Volume and Power buttons all at the same time, and then I got the interface of Android system recovery. I think this is the Download Mode you meant.
While in this mode, Odin can detect the Phone is on COM4.

download mode is volume button down, then hold home button, then power it on, hold all three and you will get a picture of android and the words download on your screen, I think what you did was volume button up/home/power, this is another mode.

You right!
I thought volume button down and up are the same.
Thank you! My i9000 is back.

glad to help

You should still be able to connect via Odin when you see that screen.
Regards,
Dave

Plug in the USB cable.
Turn the Tablet on and hold Vol Up and Vol Down
Press and hold the power.
The screen will go black, continue holding.
The screen will come back on, you’ll see the same Phone to Computer icon
Continue holding, the screen will go black
The screen will come back on, release the power button and you it should go into Downloading

flash only the PIT file via Odin with re-partition , and your TAB should reboot ....

Got the same problem...
After flashing only the pit file the tab reboots...but after that...boot loop!
After that I returned into download mode and tried to flash the files...same error:
Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1684)
or (in case of pda/tar files)
<ID:0/058> Complete(Write) operation failed.

flash with ODIN exactly like in this tutourial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
You should be able to boot normally after doing this steps...
Then you need to patch the bootloader to flash a custom kernel:

After that I was able to flash the new overcome kernel + rom...hope that helps and sorry 4 my bad english!!!!

It did not work and when i try to BOOT it normally, it is stuck on a PHONE....!....COMPUTER screen
Also TRIED:
Super One Click 2.1.1 shortfuse
RESULT:
Stays at "waiting on device"
THEN tried to install drivers and now it FREEEZES on "waiting on device"
Wow this is complicated. can anybody PLEASE tell me what i need to do to FIX this and ROOT it??
ALSO i cannot reach USB DEBUGGING because i cannot get past the PHONE.....!.....COMPUTER screen.

please guys i really need help. I've tried everything!

Sooo....you used the PDA button when you odined the file, right? If you used the phone button you probably seriously damaged your phone.
And if you want to try Odining again, just pop the battery out, and then hold the volume down button while plugging your phone into your computer. That should get you in a working download mode...

yess i used PDA. Not only that, but now i cannot get into download mode anymore,\. Whenever i plug it into the usb it just has a grey battery on the screen with the circle progress bar frozen.

So to clarify, you pulled the battery, then with one end of your USB cable plugged into the computer, held down your volume down button, then plugged in the other end of your USB cable to your phone (you should still be holding the volume down button) and after a few seconds you're still not getting into download mode?
Do you happen to have a custom recovery flashed to your phone? You can enter recovery by holding both volume buttons, then hold your power button until you see the boot logo, you can then release the power button. (continue holding both volume buttons until you enter a menu screen with a few options)

Please post your question in the q&a section and more experienced users will help you!

The only other idea I have left is to hold volume up + power button for 6 seconds and see if you can boot into download mode again with the method I mentioned before.
And based off a distant memory of being stuck at the "PHONE ! COMPUTER" screen that was still considered download mode and it connected to Odin just fine.
Otherwise since debugging is disabled adb won't work (to my knowledge) I'm out of ideas, I'd post this in the Q&A section like that guy suggested to see if they can help further.

thanks for the help, but odin doesnt seem to be recognizing the phone on the PHONE ! COMPUTER logo. If you can point me to any links to drivers that i can download and install, i'll try those out too. My last bet would be to buy 3 resistors and try to get it to download mode that way, but thats the LAST thing i'd do.
Also, when i plug it into a usb and do the normal button combo i've been doing before, it just goes to a GREY BATTERY screen and it just freezes there now.

close thread please. i have a another problem which i have put into another thread

firmware, stock rom, whatever you call it

I call it nothing i want to know what actual file you are flashing .

Are you trying to flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com? You're using the original Samsung USB cable?

Hi, i have the perfect solution for you
(it will work if you do this well)
1.
ok head down to:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
and find your correct firmware version. Make sure to create a account first. The firmware download will take over an hour if you are using simple plan with no payment. Please be patient
2.
Once the download is completed, unzip the file onto the desktop. Reboot your phone into download mode. Power off device and hold power+home+volume down. Press volume up and you should be able to see odin mode at the top left of your screen.
3.
Plug in your phone into the computer and open odin. Make sure the odin detects your phone. Click on A/P and make your way to the unzipped file on desktop. open it you should see a tar md5 file. Select that file and click START. DON NOT TOUCH OTHER CONTROLS
4.
Its done, your phone will auto reboot. It will take aroind 5~10 mins.
5.
YOUR PHONE IS SAVED
anymore probs feel free to ask
cheers!

Having problems with odin and my gs8+ can someone help?

I've been a member for a long time on this forum and never had a problem rooting any of my phones with the instructions and files from here but I can't seem to be able to get my gs8 to pass odin.
I have the sm-g955u snapdragon model and followed every step correctly but when I hit start on the modded odin it just stays on initializing for a minute or so and and get a message saying attempts completed (0/1) and will keep getting the message every time I click start afterwards. Anyone know what could be happening? I've enabled usb debugging as well and tried other odins and different files but nothing seems to work. I'm desperate here and really need some help so any help would be appreciated thanks ?

Can you try copying the entire Odin log here? It might be helpful.

Root at your own risk. This is a different issue...

Found this:

I'd say just rebooting into download mode itself while connected before hitting start would work too...

Damn didn't work ?, I've been wanting to root this since I got my hands on it but no luck

I think I may have the solution. I've done some research and this might work:
1) Download a stock firmware for your S8 sm-g955u model
2) Boot into download mode by pressing (power + volume down + Bixby button), stop at the first screen when it asks for continuing and reboot by pressing volume down.
3) Quickly boot again into download mode by pressing power + volume down + Bixby. Press continue. It should work good with Odin now.
4) Install firmware with Odin

So download a different stock firmware first and load that into regular odin and do steps above before trying rooted fw with modded odin? I will try this once I get home
Also just noticed I posted this in the gs8 forum and not the gs8+ sorry lol

UPDATE: Still no luck!
If anyone here is in northern Cali in the bay area and knows how to do it and has the right files, im willing to pay to get it done for me ?
