FIXED... Cable came unplugged mid ODIN FLASH

Ok.. I was flashing Cognition to my captivate (using ODIN) when the usb cable came unplugged in the middle of flashing factoryfs.rfs.
I can't even get the phone to power on at all... No connect to computer icon, no recovery screen, no download screen, nothing no screen at all.
Any way to recover this? I tried several things
Three Button combo
VOL+ & VOL- while plugging in usb
remove battery and sim
etc...
Here's the ODIN log.

Please help. Anyone know how to recover from this?

maybe needs to be charged?
try leaving it connected to power for a while..

If it will not turn on you might very well be bricked. As previously suggested, you could leave it plugged in and see if your battery is just drained. However, while you are waiting you can still do your research. Look over this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911 for a discussion on how to unbrick a captivate.
I would also suggest you check this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 as often flashing back to stock will "reset" the errors created while updating roms.

Was >90% battery when i started...

I can't even boot do download to use ODIN...

FIXED
OK... GOT IT... Here's what I did
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Insert battery.
5. Connect usb cable.
6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- while plugging in USB
Got download screen and flashed with ODIN..
Could swear I tried that at least twice before posting... also, this varied from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911, but was similar, so may be worth noting.
Yay... I feel better Thanks all.

Issues that arise while working with a beta ROMS, especially flashing with ODIN (something that is experienced mostly by DEVELOPERS) is not for the development forum...
Anyway, thanks to all that helped

Glad you got it working. Gonna close this up.
I deem this closed

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.

Phone is working fine, but Odin says "There is no PIT partition" when I try to flash.
I have a GT-I9505 with the MDA version firmware, region EVR.
I've flashed it previously, successfully, to the latest ME2 firmware, but then I installed Chainfire3D which soft-bricked it.
I recovered using Kies firmware recovery, did a factory reset/cache wipe, have rooted the phone again... but now Odin won't flash the phone!
It says "There is no PIT partition", and when I try to re-partition using the PIT file from this thread, it just says "complete(write) operation failed".
I've tried Odin 1.8, 3.04, 3.07... all the same.
The phone is currently working fine and is rooted! I just want to flash to a newer firmware, is all.
Any thoughts?

Flash .pit file with the firmware, not alone make sure re-partition is ticked

I was doing both those things. Strangely, it worked when I used another computer! Thanks anyway.

I am having similar problems. Any other suggestions?
I'm trying to root my S4 for the first time. Just had the S4 factory reset itself before starting this attempt.
Seems like the USB connection keeps resetting. I don't have this problem on any other device and I've tried swapping USB cords as well as USB ports. Tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I keep getting the same problems. I've even tried including the PIT file for re-partitioning. Even the Kies connection keeps resetting. Kies trouble shooting the USB connection resulting in reloading some drivers but that didn't have any effect.

Now, searching lead me to a thread for I think the S3 and they were saying these kinds of problems were defective motherboards on the phone. Do I need to take my phone back to Verizon for warranty replacement? It's not even a week old yet.

For the record, I just convinced the local VZW store to swap me a NIB S4 as a warranty replacement. The new S4 is giving me the exact same problem so in all likelihood the phone is not my problem.
Going to try removing and reinstalling the drivers on the PC again.
Does USB debugging need to be checked / unchecked for ODIN to work?

NO NEED to check it. a lot of users brick their phones and can not boot to check usb debugging. so they went directly to odin flash and it was good to go :good:

Hi,
USB debugging needs to be ticked.

OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and still get the same problems. Any other ideas?

Yes, a number of times at every stage one would think it would make any difference. It didn't make any difference.
I did finally get my phone rooted. While I can't say for certain, it seems like the S4 needed to be booted normally, then connected via USB, then let Win7 auto install several drivers, then I initiated bhp090808's all-in-one root tool which rebooted the phone into ODIN mode. ODIN was then successful.
Contrast that with having the S4 disconnected from USB and manually booting into ODIN mode, then connect USB, then let Win7 install drivers, then initiate ODIN to start. That sequence gave me all the problems.
Thanks for the replies though. I do appreciate your willingness to help.

Solved same problem this way:
1) Connected phone by original cable directly to rear USB port
2) Turn off Kies (no need to uninstall)
3) Stopped 2 kies processes which still run even if kies is off.
4) There must be item "Samsung Android Phone" and cascaded item "Samsung android ADB interface" in device manager.
5) Enable USB Debugging in phone.
6) I had unchecked item "Check installed apps from ADB by USB" - Not sure if it is necessary.
7) When you connect phone there has to be popup with question: "Allow USB debugging from this computer?" followed by computer signature.
Check always, answer yes.
8) Use old Odin 3 V. 1.85

Well I did thgis ... searched another firmware mewer same carrier .. and I rebooted the Pc ..Nothing
But on a forum external some dude sayd ok .. If you use front USB ports theese are coted as external USB and they don't are recognized as internal USB hubs so change to a back side usb and will work I did and now after waiting like 5 minutes the process started my phone is under process restarting now ... And Voloa .. the new firmware,

Thanks for that suggestion. Switching to the back USB ports worked for me.

[please help] galaxy s5 firmware issue!

Hey, if anyone could help me with this, I would love it. I NEED this phone working again and every source I've found either doesn't mention my model or doesn't work.
I tried rooting my US Cellular Galaxy S5 SM-G900R4 using CF Auto Root and Odin 3.10.6. I followed all the steps and made sure I started the process in download mode, 75% battery, did it in AP, unchecked re-partition, and also had the correct root file. It was going fine until it got stuck on "CACHE". I kept waiting until it eventually said "FAIL". My S5 was still showing the blue download bar but I figured it was OK anyway. I clicked "RESET" and it did. I unplugged my phone and then tried turning it on but it came up with a yellow triangle in between a desktop logo and my phone logo and it said "Firmware Update Encountered an Error. Select Restore in Kies and Try Again". It does go into download mode but besides that nothing else. It's just stuck there.
After some research I found out you could fix the issue with Samsung Kies, so I installed it and everything looked fine and the drivers installed so I connected the phone and it just stuck on the "connecting" screen forever. I unplugged and tried Samsung Kies 3 but it immediately said "phone unsupported". On Kies I tried going into the update initialization mode and I typed the model number but it said the S/N was incorrect. On the back of this phone it shows the IMEID (H) number and the IMEID (D) and I tried both...
So the last method I had was using ODIN 3.10.6 to flash the stock ROM. My phone was not rooted when this whole thing happened but it does have USB debugging enabled and yes, the Samsung USB drivers are installed. Anyway, I downloaded the stock ROM for my model, and I started it through AP and everything but it immediately failed and said this:

try a fresh download. where did you get yours from? sammobile.com is the most trustworthy place, its slow from there, but theyre legit. You probably have a bad download, its the most frequent cause of issues like these

If you can give me the link to a legit download for my model that would be great. I tried a couple ROMS but they don't work, and SamsMobile doesn't carry the ROM for my model btw

[Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing] bootloop

I really messed up my phone :/
Hi, so about one month ago I decided to root my phone, but I did not know what I was doing since it was my first time and I was VERY confused. I ended up causing my phone to go into a bootloop, I'd first to even get it to work make it I'd make it go into download mode then restart from there. It'd just say in the top right corner "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" then afterwords it'd flicker the bottom buttons to just turn off completely. Any advice or help would be amazing , I won't mind spending time just to fix this so I'm all open

I recomend to flash the stock firmware on your phone.
Get the firmware file from fw.updato.com(fast but sometimes website is down)
Or
sammobile.com(slow but reliable)
Since you already sayd you tryed to root ur phone i suppose you know where to get odin3
Extract the firmware zip file y downloaded inside should be a .tar file put that in AP in odin and click start
Also i recomend a wipe but in theory it should* start working without.
Hope this helped you

Oh no I forgot y need to have installed special drivers otherwise in some cases it won't show up. Get it from here în my experience first time it can take up to 1 hour for phone to be recognized. Also make sure ur phone is well enterd in download mode (volume down+home+volume up+power) a blueish screen appears and volume up again) there is no way it's bcuz of the phone. Also use the cable that came with the device and if it still doesn't work (for some reason) try in another pc (or mac)

Bricked Tablet With 1 Click Root App

So awhile back I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 4 by installing a 1 click root app and later restarting my tablet. I haven't been able to fix it since. I was using an app because of the locked bootloader. Is there a way to fix this? The tablet uses the T337AUCU2BOH4 firmware which I think I was able to find through google, although it said it only worked for nonrooted apps which I didn't understand.

You could search about Odin. With it you can install samsung stock firmware on your device, if you can still boot to download mode. Also it's best to avoid 1 click root apps(if possible) they seem to cause problems very often.

I found the firmware files here
I set my device to download mode and chose the file for the BL, AP, CP, and CSC section of Odin3 and click start. The program than stalls at SetupConnection and fails. I run Odin3 a second time and it's now stalling at Initialization. Later attempts I get a log with "Can't open the serial(COM) port". I Googled something that suggested I download the USB driver for the tablet so I downloaded this, but it didn't help.

Can any help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here? I don't really know much about android so this stuff is all new to me.

This guide says that you should only choose file for the AP, but I have no idea is that fix for your problem.

Thanks for finding that! I was actually originally following that guide although I had to find the firmware files elsewhere. I tried just selecting the AP, but it didn't work. I'm still getting the same set of errors.
Edit: I restarted Odin3 and unplugged and the cord and plugged it back in and I think it's working now. It started downloading and the tablet rebooted when it was done. At first, it looked promising, but it booted to some AT&T logo in the middle and white background which scared me a little. After a minute or so it booted up to the welcome menu to configure the tablet. Thanks so much for your help!

No problem. About that AT&T logo, you can get rid of it by finding "non-branded firmware" (or something like that I don't know the right term for it) or you can check if SM-T335 has same specs as your tablet(all its firmwares seem to be "non-branded"). Like with sm-t230 you can use sm-t231 roms. But be careful if you do that.
This site might have more firmwares http://forum.youmobile.org/downloads/?cat=151 thought I'm not sure have I ever tried to download from there. Atleast you can find build numbers there.
Or maybe rooting your device and changing boot animation.
