odin stuck on modem.bin

odin get all the way to modem.bin and then it gets stuck. any ideas on how to get it to progress tried different roms and i'm using a non samsung usb cable.

I'd try a new USB port and cable or make sure your USB is clean just typical precautions. Try resdownloading or reinstalling your drivers. Kinda obvious things .... sorry
Ignore wait for someone smarter I doubt these help

a stock eco5 and a pre rooted eh17 rom

Hmm ec05 sometimes things take a while are you sure your download is complete its like 290mbs and are you doing it properly only auto reboot checked. If you are then id say give it like 5-8 minutes if it hangs then try another usb port and keep on it hopefully it will kick it in there. Just to make sure your using the victory pit file and have the pda checked and the ec05.tar in the file right?

It still may be a bad download. Why not come up to EI22? Odin this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340385
Then Odin the EC05 modem tar seperately here:

And then flash the EC05toEI22 modem zip.

Also try it with the battery and sd card out. Odin works better that way. Use the computer as the power source. Connect it then put it into download mode.

This happens to me once in a while. Just switch usb ports. ALSO AVOID USING THE EXTENDED USB PORTS!. Those are the ones in the front off the PC case or on the side. Use the ones directly from the motherboards, meaning use the ones in the back off the pc case. Restart your PC also. If those 2 fail, buy a new usb cord. Also, ive had odin stay at modem forever but pulling the battery out and booting the phone and all is ok. Weird. But happens.

Look at Post 2 in this thread for Heimdall instructions. It is much better once you get the hang of it. And you can remove the modem.bin and flash everything else:

[Q] Can't ODIN Epic 4g Stuck in Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue?

After trying to ODIN a stock rom I am now stuck on the screen, firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I can get into the ODIN download mode, but every rom I download fails. I want to through this freaking phone as I've been working on this for hours with many different roms and they ALL fail. Any help please and thank you - Adam

Not sure what your doing or how. Sounds like you got an OTA and tried to install it. Or you're installing something else.
But if you have an Epic 4G Touch (Sprint).
Then here is your solution.
Download sfhub's One-Click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229 [Choose Reset or No data, your choice.
Install the latest Samsung drivers http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...342248/Sprint_d710_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0.exe
Put your phone into download mode:
Power off completely
Then Hold the Power On + the Volume Down buttons till you get to a 'confirmation' screen and click the Volume Up button to enter 'Download Mode'.
Launch the One Click on your PC.
Then plug you phone into the PC via USB cable. You should see a COMM port light up.
Then click on start and you will be back to stock (and rooted).
If you want a CWM recovery (and kernel, they are together) you can use sfhub's 'Autoroot' package to add that.
The directions there are VERY detailed and simple to follow.
Take your time.
Read through the stickies, how tos and tutorials and through the many posts by the developers. Or you will end up with a pretty paperweight.
Good luck

Still don't know what is wrong with my phone, every time I ODIN=FAIL

Can you link to the Odin you attempted or did you try the ff18 LB linked for you?
And please clarify that you used a one click or manual Odin.

Galaxy S2 Freezes on Start and Won't Flash Anything

I recently acquired an Epic 4G Touch that wouldn't boot into the stock ROM. I thought "Awesome! The ROM must be corrupted. I'll just Odin it back to stock and have a new SG2." Well, I tried Odining it back to stock. I tried the Gingerbread EL29 stock tar image and it hung on the Sbl.bin. I thought maybe my download was just corrupt but after trying 2 other GB odin images it still wouldn't flash. Then I tried flashing CWM recovery through odin and that hung at NAND Write Start. I've switched cables, USB slots and computers. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening. I would really like to get this phone running so I can upgrade my SGS1.
Edit- Just to clarify, I never tried to flash anything through CWM. I tried flashing a kernel that had CWM through Odin.

I put the ROM into the PDA slot. Here's what happened in Odin:

Thank you for the response. I cannot get into my recovery and my phone will not flash anything in Odin without some sort of error. I think it hosed. He mentioned sending it off for a jtag repair? What exactly is that?

This is very confusing... How are you trying to flash with CWM if you can't get into recovery mode?
What exactly is happening with the device when you try to power it on?
What happens when you try to go into download mode using Vol down+power?
What happens when you try to get to recovery using vol up+power?

Agreed.
Op - You're trying to write to the phone and, my guess is, you're making a bad situation worse since your getting partial writes. Especially that first screen where pit was mapped and partial flash took, such as boot.
Dont know where crawrj is, but try reaching out to Garwynn. He knows A LOT.

What? When did I say I was flashing through CWM? I've never even been able to boot to CWM. I said I was trying to flash CWM through download mode which failed. When I try to boot, it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen. When I try to boot into recovery it sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 kernel load screen.

Sorry. I misread the OP.
Ok. Try this to get into Recovery
Press and hold the vol up+power button until the splash screen shows up
After the splash shows release the power button and then continue to hold the vol up button. It should take you right to recovery.

I've done this atleast 20 times (21 now after this post) and it just sticks at the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. I'm sure I screwed it even further by trying to flash CWM recovery. When I first got it, it booted into the recovery screen but wouldn't actually fully load into recovery. I would just get the Android character but no text. These are the weirdest issues I've ever had with an Android device.

Do you have an external SD card installed? If so, remove it and try to boot into recovery again.

That is possible. You can try to call Sprint and tell them you/a friend was trying to update to ICS and rebooted and it wont boot fully. Act dumb and see if they will replace it. Since it won't boot to anything at all, there is really no way for them to tell. Just say that you bought it from said friend. It is worth a shot. I have done it before with AT&T when I screwed up a Captivate doing a hardware mod.
I just told them that I bought it online and tried to update it but after the update, it wouldn't power on. They let me replace it.

OK I will definetly try that, thanks. If they don't replace it, I will just sell it for parts and keep using my Epic 4G. Thanks for all of your help

Wait oh wait I have a few questions myself lol what odin are you using? Did you try any one clicks? Did you try removing the sd card and then odin? Did you try to leave battery out all night then try odin again with no sdcard?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I tried 2 different versions of Odin;1.x and 3.x. I used multiple one clicks. I pulled the sd card before flashing. I had to buy a battery for it when I got it and the previous owner had kept the battery out of it for at least a month. I really appreciate all answers but I really feel like I've tried everything :|

It is possible using a pit file would help. The pit file from when this phone came out would be best. Then run a gb rom in odin along with the pit. If you find the pit link it here before you use it. Wouldn't want more problems.

One Click restores are built with the proper pit of 9-16-11. But it sounds like he's already tried multiple builds.
Flashing each component isn't a bad suggestion but with using the pit, I wouldn't necessarily use just a rom, I'd use a tar since it would contain everything needed to restore the bootloader (boot, Sbl, param, recovery..)
Or try flashing an built bootloader to see if he could get back into recovery alone. There are a few already made in RWilco's Repo..

Bricked my phone...

I accidently wiped /system
1.I've tried Odin, couldn't get it flash AT ALL. I don't know if its the zip or what. But i cant for the life of me get it to work.
2.I've tried sideloading, I'm not sure if that worked or not, after i did that, it wont go past the Samsung Galaxy note 4 screen, just keeps booting then stops and goes the battery charging screen(I'm assuming my OS is back on the phone? i also don't get the NO OS installed! error when booting up)
I'm completely out of ideas on what to do here.

I believe the Odin stock tar you're looking for is OK1 from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63868221&postcount=1
Most likely, the case is, you can't go from reactivation locked bootloader to reactivation unlocked bootloader. It's in the upgrade notes. Also check your phone display in download mode. If you were on one of those updates, your phone should say reactivation lock is disabled or something like that. It means the bootloader will allow a compatible flash. Enabled reactivation status would block even a compatible flash to protect original user from theft if he knowingly or unwittingly chose to enable it. You have to be careful because that's been described as an efuse. It could cripple your main board if flashing with it enabled. Maybe it takes multiple attempts to blow it, IDK but respect it... Try to get in the habit of checking phone display before Odin flashing.
Hopefully, it is not booting simply because there's still no OS. You wiped it and failed to flash because wrong tar was selected. I can say that the OB7 tar you flashed has a non-reactivation locked bootloader. So you cannot go backwards in Odin to it, if that's the case.
If your looking to flash an older ROM in recovery from the reactivation bootloader, it's been reported to be possible if you flash a 5.1.1 kernel after the old ROM flash in recovery. Stability and compatibility may vary by user and ROM. The question was even asked in this forum-KitKat Bobcat ROM IIRC- if possible to flash KitKat ROM and then Lollipop Android Touchwiz kernel and confirmed by at least one user. Nonetheless, no reason to doubt that but I recommend latest custom ROMs for compatibility.

Bump
Still looking for help.
Tried 0din, and the same error comes up as the post before.
Tried Kies but I need s/n and I don't have my box and no s/n on the back behind my battery.
currently downloading sammoblie rom. Hopefully this works.
the only other thing I can think of is putting a rom on my SD card and installing from TWRP

That may work too if you flash the right kernel with it. Well, that applies only if using an older ROM as I mentioned in my first reply... Did you read it yet?
BTW, KIES usually does that for rooted phones. It may only work if you set it up with same phone before root but unsure.

I can type out all the "download" screen info if needed.
But RA lock is off.

That's OK, don't need it. That confirms you have you a newer bootloader. That tar is blocked in Odin, for you. Best to move forward with Odin rather than backward.
Some stock tars later than OB7 have even been reported to be blocked but being on OK1, I only know I can go back OJ6 in Odin. Didn't try another because of that fact and OJ6 and OK1 are the best lollipop updates, IMO.

Help Soft Bricked Cant Go back to stock

Hello,
So I installed the Rainbow 7 rom and it worked great for 2 days. Next thing I know Im stuck at the Samsung note 2 screen. Im like OK lets open TWRP and restore from Backup. Some how I manage to erase the OS and now I can't even return to Stock. When I try to flash tar I get failed. Phone does go into download mode fine and recovery. TWRP shows my sd and internal as (0) MB but when I use my ext sd card on pc all files are there so cant flash via recovery. Kies does not work either I tried the latest version of TWRP via Latest version of ODIN nothing file is good then I get The Below with OH3

With NE2 STOCK in Odin I GET note 2 re-partition operation failed.............
I have always been able to restore my backups or flash back to stock but this time in Stuck. Any Thoughts?
TWRP states no OS found even if I wiped all of the system and data files Should I not be able to go back to stock ? I've tried NE2 and OH3
I have searched and searched and tried but nothing seems to work. If it boots to download mode and recovery it's not a hard bricked it ??
FYI I have tried 2 pc's using different ports and different cables also

When you boot into recovery does it show failure to mount any partitions (system, data, cache)?

I seen a few other users with same issue. Only way that I have seen it fixed is by replacing the main board. Sorry to give bad news.

Ahhh okay thank you

Would you know if switching out the board is just plug and play ?

You could always try to Odin back to stock. Since you can get into recovery i imagine you can get into download mode.Its worth a shot before you order a board and open the phone. Link for the process I was suggest the PC version

Thanks I'll Give it a shot but it has failed in the past

I dont know if this matters but according to the rainbow 7 install instructions I was supposed to have bootloader of 4.3 or newer.. if i didnt could. This be the cause of everything. I can't believe there isn't a way to fix this without changing the board.

It could very well be why it fails the link above was to the 4.4.2 bootloader if it doest help or fail I have no idea about swapping out the board. I've replaced antanneas and ifixit has a complete teardown of the phone https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II hope you figure it out. Sorry I wasn't much more help

So I got a clean logic board. Just have to install it and The phone should work fine ?
Thank You

Yes a new logic board should fix your issues. Just remember you'll have to activate that one because it's a totally different meid/esn. I had to swap one on an s3 because of a bad port. Sure it's similar too since it's Samsung.
