That appears to be the wrong version of odin ... You need odin3 v1.85 ..
You might try a different odin download ...
EDIT: Nevermind I looked closer ... You might try a different download of odin anyway ...

Try a different usb cable

agreed try a diffrent USB cable to the motherboard not any front panels. if not you might need to reboot download mode with the USB cable in a new spot or with the new usb cable.

If you think your phone isn't connecting to Odin because of a physical problem (as in, you didn't do something to the phone to mess it up by flashing), take a look at this thread and see if it may help you!

[Q] ODIN back to stock now.. nothing

I was following the forum below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
to get my rooted stock Tmobile Galaxy S2 back to un-rooted stock so i could update to the OTA update as i need the wifi.
Upon following the first ODIN command i got a failed and so i unpluged the phone and tried to re-ODIN and all it would do is stay at connecing or something similar.
I pulled the battery and tried to enter download mode again and I am unable to turn the phone on or enter download mode.
Ideas?
when i change the usb cable to a different plug on PC the PC then will attempt to install driver but the phone never show the download screen and the PC says unalbe to install driver.
Does it try to install the Samsung drivers or qualcom modem drivers?

I had installed the drivers already with Kies

[Q] No odin for me....

Hey all,
I am running cm9 alpha 2. I have installed kies on my pc and drivers install (according to kies) fine. I throw the phone on my pc through usb and try to open Odin, and it doesn't pick up the device is connected. Android Commander DOES connect though.
I have tried this with usb debug on and off just on a hunch it may make a difference but no dice. Phone atp does NOT have CWM as this was the point of me trying to Odin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What are you needing cwm for? Use Mobile Odin.
Here is stock el29cwm: http://db.tt/0QJkleJR

So Odin won't recognize your phone when you are in Download mode or just when you try to mount the drives? Odin is used primarily in Download mode.
Also try opening Odin, THEN connecting your phone after it is open.

I suspect this. hold power + vol DOWN until you get to download mode. Then plug in phone. If that doesn't work, try different cables and ports. You can also try reinstalling drivers and rebooting pc

Correction for getting into download mode.
Volume down and power button until it shows download mode.

[SOLVED!!] Accidentally flashed GT-i9100 bootloader...

Like an IDIOT I accidentally Odin'd the international (GT-i9100) bootloader over the stock/rooted FH13. The phone works but in download mode Odin does not recognize. I've tried everything I could read others have tried (drivers, etc) but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I out of the Odin business permanently?
Thanks.
I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

If I recall correctly times_infinity posted how to flash the bootloader using adb / terminal, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I can't remember who it was but there is definitely a thread on it.

Doesn't the international boot loader make the USB port on our phone not work anymore? Which is why when you go to Odin mode, a computer won't recognize it? That's what I remember

Ya there was a guy who did this a day or two ago, he sent it for JTAG, no USB after the flash so JTAG is your only option afik

Sorry didn't read your op thoroughly, interesting situation.... I'll keep an eye out for info, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some adb magic you could pull to fix it since it still boots...

Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.

That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I'd love to but have no idea how to. Remember I'm the idiot that installed the wrong bootloader! I was even able to restore my nandroid but that didn't change the bootloader version.
I am trying to do this from the phone or I would be more help. Search our forum for sgs2 bootloader or flashed wrong bootloader or something and see if you can find the thread on this issue.

Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).
I was mistake this was about the kernel, not the boot loader. Regardless here's the link

Then you might be out of luck. I am not sure you can fix it without Odin. Here is a bootloader if you get Odin working. If you didn't try all of the steps I posted please do it again. Also switch cables even though it works for other functions.

There is one for bootloader also but I think it requires Odin.

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag. Luckily My phone still operates normally, I just won't be able to flash anything by Odin and when my phone boots it says it's a GT-i9100. I did find a good thread about this for anyone else in the same boat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816931&highlight=wrong+bootloader
In the end, this is what I get for getting careless. Totally my fault.
Wouldn't flashing the whole thing with Mobile ODIN work?
I mean a whole .tar ROM

Need help with a UNIQUE rooting problem

I have a unique issue... at least I haven't seen this issue asked or addressed. I'm trying to root my Sprint SGS3 on Jellybean 4.1.1, LJ7. I've tried to root using Odin tar files and Odin One-click's. I've done both with my Epic 4g Touch and NEVER... EVER had this problem before. What happens is EVERY time I try to root, weather using Odin tar files or Odin One-click's the progress goes as far as "getting PIT for mapping", then stops and eventually, ALWAYS fails. YES, I have the debugging box checked in settings on the phoneQ. YES,
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
The debugging box is completely irrelevant here. Are you in download mode. Try reinstalling the drivers and using a different cable/usb port
In pretty sure you can leave the pit field empty

Are you putting the tar file in the pda slot?
This is the method I've used twice with no issues

Did you try using a different usb port? Some coms are picky and that works for some people.
Yes, I've tried different com ports and different computers and different com ports on the different computers. I still get the same results.
