Installed the usb drivers as per the AT&T forums. This is a waste of time. Windows installs it's own USB drivers as soon as I plug in the phone.
I unzipped Odin3-v1.85 to it's own subdir.
Copied i927_factoryfs_rooted_img.tar to Odin dir. Unzipped boot2.zip to get a TAR and copied that to Odin dir.
With phone on and connected via USB, run Odin.
(From the GUIDE) Step 5. Put phone in Download mode.
Turn off phone (check)
Press volume UP, keep it pressed, press power button (check)
Phone boots up - no Download mode screen.
Do much searching on web....
GUIDE instructions to get phone into Download mode are probably fine if you already know what to do. I don't, so here's suggestion:
To get into Download mode:
Press and Hold Volume Up.
While keeping Volume Up pressed, Press and Hold the Power button. Keep both buttons pressed until the Download option screen appears. This may take up to a minute.
Release Volume Up and Power buttons.
If you want to download, press the Volume Up to Continue.
I could have used some hints about when to connect the phone via USB or more importantly, when the phone should NOT be connected. I'm still not sure. Obviously it needs to be connected to download F/W.
It would have been helpful/reassuring for me if the had explicit description of phone status at beginning of procedure (On/Off? Connected/Disconnected via USB? SIM card in/out? memory card in/out? Battery in/out?). I still can't guess.
It took several tries to get Odin3 running, the phone connected, and Odin3 to recognize the phone.
*** GUIDE needs to give me a clue when phone and Odin3 are talking, or tell me where to find that info.
I'm guessing that a yellow "ID:COM" box with "0:[COM4]" means something.
GUIDE step 7-9. In Odin, select the "boot.tar" file in PDA and click Start. Fails almost immediately.
NOTE:
The GUIDE does not explicitly say which TAR file to use - I guessed.
The f/w coder part of my brain really wanted to use BOOTLOADER instead of PDA (I didn't).

Kies "Troubleshoot connection error" has me disconnect the phone then it reinstalls device driver.
Connecting the phone causes Windows to install it's own device drivers.
Starting the phone in Download mode gives me the ODIN3 Download Mode screen.
I am stuck but not suicidal (yet). Phone seems partially functional. I can't figure out how to get either Odin or Kies to do anything useful.
Please help. I'm hearing a voice that sounds like Steve Jobs ... Paul .... give in to the dark side ...

I just bought an unlocked Glide and I struggled with the steps myself, but I went about things differently and I hope this can help you.
FIRST, use the Samsung KiES to update the software from GingerBread 2.3.6 to the ICS 4.0.4 stock
Then, after I did that, I visited this blog where the writer did a FABULOUS job explaining how to install the CWM recovery and flashing the rooted version of the ICS ROM (AT&T version):
http://transce080.blogspot.com/
Let me know if you need further help and I'd be willing to guide you along.

Many thanks for the suggestion - I'll try it are report back.
Currently, Kies is running and almost connecting. Kies shows "SGH-I927" in the "Connected devices" but it the "Connecting..." screen just keeps spinning it's wheels. Last night Kies was able to connect and was showing Contacts, Music, etc. Today, zilch. I tried restarting Kies, powering down the phone and removing battery. When I connect phone to computer, Windows 7 installs the device driver s/w. Sometimes this works, sometimes it works and says it's "Samsung xxxd #2", then "... #3". Sometimes the device driver s/w fails to install and returns error. Assuming I can figure out the crappy Samsung USB driver ....

You HAVE to update to Ice Cream Sandwich in order to install the correct bootloaders for Odin.
You can do this via kies.
Also, when using Odin, completely close kies, as it can sometimes interfere with the procedure. USB debugging allows many communication features between your phone and computer, mock locations allow certain apps to fake location data, and USB mass storage is used to connect your phone to your PC like a flash drive.
I would suggest installing the USB drivers as instructed, either through kies or by going into control panel - device manager - (whatever you're phone is listed as) choosing update driver and selecting the folder with the drivers in them.
Odin will flash yellow as you said to let you know there is a device attached.
As I said before, all of the guides are for captivate glides with ice cream sandwich, so you MUST update.
Hope that helps a bit.

need wifi fix after mod flash on 4.3

Hello, I am having wifi problems after flashing any file to my phone. After phone reboots when you try and click on the wifi button it stays inactive. I was wondering if anyone else has had his same problem and has been able to fix it??
Note 2
Rooted Stock Touchwiz 4.3
CWM Recovery
Have you tried the wifi fix?
http://d-h.st/6qX
Flash via Odin
I've been seeing these patches for 4.3 everywhere. Any chance they work with kitkat as well? I have my phone setup exactly the way I like and don't wanna flash and regret right this moment.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk
i flashed the fix via odin..and it worked until I rebooted my phone....at which point wifi wouldnt even turn on
Odin flash of Wifi Fix still fails after many attempts!?!?!
I'm loving 4.3, but I really miss WiFi!!
I went from long time use of Mack's All Star rom to STS MK4 v1.1
I followed the steps on that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121063
and also Lorjay's thread that it referenced: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541395
I followed these steps:
1) I backed up my device on TWRP
2) Wiped cache, dalvic cache and system (I didn't do a factory reset at this point--probably should have but didn't realize)
3) Flashed the following files in order in one action in TWRP:
a) STS_MK4_v1.1_ODEXED.zip
b) MK4 Modem.zip
c) STS_v1.1_Add_On_SprintAndroidExtension.zip
d) STS_MK4_SystemUI_Morph_v1.zip
4) I rebooted the phone through TWRP
5) Once the phone booted up fully, I shut it down so I could do an Odin Flash
6) I started up Odin3 v1.85
7) I started my phone in Odin Download mode
8) I connected my phone to the USB cord and Odin said <ID:0/005> Added!! The ID:COM lit up Yellow and said 0:[COM5]
9) I clicked the PDA button and selected patch.tar.md5
10) I hit Start button and it gave me a big red FAIL!
The message box said the patch.tar.md5 is valid
It said Get PIT for mapping... Firmware update start.. tz.img NAND Write Start!! blank line Complete(Write) operation failed.
All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
11) I had F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked and nothing else (according to the instructions I read)
12) At this point the phone appears to still be in Download mode, but if I restart Odin it will not recognize the phone unless I reboot it into Download again.
I have tried a different version of Odin (3.09), different computers, different USB ports, different USB cords, downloaded the patch file from different websites. I extracted it using WinRar. I downloaded Kies and installed new drivers.
So far nothing changes the basic result. I have read many posts and websites about using Odin. The only thing sticks out is that some talk about something turning blue when the phone is plugged into the USB and I have never seen anything blue, only yellow in 1.85 and light green in 3.09. I also have USB debugging set in the Developer Options
Perhaps it is still something driver related, but the drivers appear to be working for everything else.
The phone seems to be working great except for wifi, which is a big deal. I imagine the wifi fix will do the trick; but there seems to be some communications problem between Odin and the phone.
I'm open to reconsidering anything and everything, but the only solution offered to others with this problem so far is "use a different computer" and I've already done that and much more.
Any help would be much appreciated. I don't really want to go back to 4.whatever I had before.

[Q] Cant Enter Recovery or Download Mode

Hi
I have a Note 2 that only shows the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error screen" (attached)
I cannot enter recovery or download mode. When i hold the button combination for either mode, the phone blinks and then returns to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an error screen".
Any ideas or comments greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
This is download mod, connect at pc open odin, prefer odin 3 1.87 version mount stock firmware same you had or newer and flash. If it fails disconnect phone from pc put battery out push power button with battery out for 15 sec put battery back push power button again and you'll go to same screen, flash firmware with odin. If again fail post for further instructions.

try different Odin, for me 3.09 was the best
Already tried all versions of Odin. None work

try different ROMs, even custom and don't go into download mode, but just stay on the screen, where error appears - odin should recognize the device and finally flash rom
Tried different ROMS, etc. No luck

Thanks for your comments
I think there is nothing else you can do on your own. Probably Samsung support will inform you what to do and there is a great chance that they will do it for free.
Unfortunately i have asked Samsung. Since the phone was purchased outside the EU they cant (or wont) do anything. So much for an international organisation!!
Thanks
you can try in local phone service, cuz probably a special flasher is needed

Only God Can Forgive

Can't root!

My Tab s 10.5 Wi-Fi (SM-T800) doesn't show up in download mode in Odin3 v3.10, and usb-debugging is on too. When it's fully booted up I have no problem accessing it from my pc (windows 7), with all the needed drivers installed. I have been searching around for 2 hours now, and you guys are my last hope!
EDIT: After a few more tries (doing the exact same thing over and over again) I finally got it to detect my tablet. But only when it's powered down (wth)! When I boot into download mode it says:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Removed!!
And then it doesn't even detect it anymore.
Make sure you're not in Recovery mode.
Download mode is POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN and has nothing to do with USB debugging.
Once booted into Download mode insert the USB cable.

Now I noticed that after pressing power + home + vol down it says no command and shows a broken android, and then goes to recovery mode instead of download mode.
EDIT: Oh my lord! I am dumb! I just realized that the button I thought was volume down is actually up! I was using up instead of down the whole time. Thank you for helping me realize this!

How long should Odin flash with stock firmware sit at Initialization?

Trying to flash stock firmware to my SM-T520... Odin is just sitting at Initialization. How long should that take? What is wrong that is causing it to refuse to go past Initialization? This is my third attempt. I've tried different PC, and different cable. What can I try next?
After you add the firmware it does a crc check but that shouldn't take more then a few minutes at most, does odin find you device (something listed under ID:COM?)

Odin does find the device, and the space under ID:COM goes blue. Here is what the log looks like (since I cannot yet post links or pics, this will be hand-jammed):

have you tried kies 3 to flash the firmware?

can Kies be used if my tablet won't even boot past the purple swoosh around a white "SAMSUNG" screen?
yeah you need to boot into download mode for either odin or kies to work, fully power off the device and hold the vol up key when it's booting up it should ask you to confirm then press the opposite volume key then it should show download mode- from here you can flash with odin or kies
if you boot into recovery mode instead then poweroff and use the other volume key instead

Mine is vol-down for download mode, and vol-up for recovery mode.
Is Kies pretty intuitive?
I will give Kies a try. (Fingers crossed)
Kies 3 is pretty easy to use it downloads the latest firmware for you then flashes it, odin is the samsung factory service tool - both really do the same thing except kies is more for end users to update their devices.
I usually install kies to get the proper device drivers then use odin to flash.
no go...
Kies 3 emphatically stated that it does not support my device. So, loaded Kies 2.6. My device will not connect. I've rebooted the device like Kies error message asked, multiple times. I've run the connection error troubleshooting tool multiple times. I've rebooted the PC, and let the tablet battery drain before recharging to 100% and trying again today. Still not connecting.
sounds like bad drivers are installed, unplug the tablet from pc, then remove all the usb, kies drivers you have installed, reboot your pc (keep tablet unplugged)
then re-install Kies 3, then plug in your tablet when it's in download mode-
Kies 3 is for devices running kitkat so you shouldn't use an older version.
also make sure you are running Kies / odin as administrator
btw did you try what was suggested in this thread, they seem to have the same issue with the SM-T520

Sprint GS6 Stuck on initial Boot Screen (No recovery mode)

I have a Sprint gs6 that like many others is stuck on the initial boot screen. I have scoured the internet for ideas and tricks, but nothing I'm doing works. This is my last ditch effort since the phone is out of warranty and I have to either pay Samsung to fix it if I can figure this out. I've installed firmware on phones before and such so I'm familiar but not 100% pro at this.
Here are the details: Phone was in use running an app and then randomly it rebooted but it got stuck on the Samsung logo. Its my son's phone so I don't think he tried anything else but I can't be 100% sure.
This is the phone info in download mode

I've tried to install twrp and cw but odin fails and the phone is basically preventing anything non standard. I can't do a fastboot because the phone is not operable .
I don't get it!?!?!?! the stock firmware loads with no problem but it still gets stuck on that boot screen.
ANY ideas????

Leave the phone while its boot looping until the battery runs out and it shuts off. Then charge to around 10 or 20 percent without turning the phone off. Then unplug and hold power home and volume UP. Keep holding until a recovery shows and then factory reset. Then reboot and if its still boot looping try going back into download mode and re flashing the firmware.
Thanks, but no luck

I left it charging for 50 mins not sure how long it would take to get to 10/20%, but figured that was long enough. The problem is that its not really rebooting.
even after I hold down Vol Down and power to shut it of within 2 sec. it turns itself back on. The phone just hangs on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Logo and sticks there I tried tricking it to power off and on download mode cancel right away going to vol up but it won't go into recovery no matter what I've tried. I've tested the download of the Fireware with 3.10.6, 3.10.7, 3.11.1 and 3.12.5 of odin and nothing is working. I think this phone is done ughhh
I've even tried to kill the battery then while holding down VOL UP, Home, PWR I have someone else plug the phone in and still won't go into recovery. I don't get how it is preventing to go into Recovery mode. I know that if I could get into that I would be fine. WHY did the this lame s6 have to come with no SD Card.....
The reason why you can install a custom recovery is because the FRP lock is on.
But no Recovery also?

but why is it not letting me into recovery mode. The stock firmware works, but it just hangs on this logo? Does that feature also block that. When I look over the FRP Lock everyone in videos can get into recovery option no problem!

Power + Vol up and down. The second the screen turns off let go of the Vol Down and power button and press the home button. That should put you in recovery mode.

man something I hadn't tried in this sequence, but after trying still powers up to logo and no change. I tried holding down for a solid minute just now.
I wish I could post video of link me doing this to confirm I'm doing it right, but I'm pretty sure I was doing it right....
Bummer I was excited to try something new....
Thanks for reply this is so odd never seen a phone do this.

When I do the VOL Down and PWR it shuts off I let go and within 1-2 sec. MAX it turns itself on and get stuck on the logo screen.

after I turn it off I know it looks like I'm trying to hold down keys, but I didn't actually press any of them it turned itself on before.

Yeah, in not sure about turning it off completely. Vol Down and up + power is supposed to force restart the phone. Try Vol Down + Vol up.
Edit: ignore all that ^. I tried it myself and I see your issue. Try power + vol up and down + home. Then when the screen turns off Press Vol up + home button. That worked for me
any new ideas ? i have the exact same problem
have been trying all the above
nothing works

Yes. It should reboot like normal after full drain and charging up to 10 percent. Initial start will take a bit. Watch the LED. Is it pulsing? Will be easier to tell in a darker room.
If it's pulsing, let it go for a while. Will eventually boot. Wait up to 20 minutes.

i cannot control it and let it charge for 10 min. before power on.

Does it do a full boot? Or does it go to the battery charging screen?

NO
as soon as i force a reset (power+vol dwn) or drain battery and connect power, it goes to boot screen and stay there.
no charging screen (since you need to stay in power-down state to get this...)
If you can get to Download mode, reflash the stock firmware depending which version of Android you were on.
To get to recovery, I have always had to press Down + Home + Power. When it asks to either continue or reboot, reboot then hold Up + Home + Power then let go of power as soon as it starts up

Te post below is correct. Put your device in download mode and let go of ALL the buttons. Place your fingers over the Home, Vol Up, & Power buttons. Tap Power down to exit download mode and SOON as the screen starts to turn off, press & hold those 3 buttons until it goes into recovery. You'll have the factory recovery installed but I believe you might still be able to do a wipe. So if you get it into recovery just go ahead and wipe it or a factory reset. Whatever you can wipe just do it. You have nothing to lose but if you ticked the wrong buttons in Odin that's your issue. Sounds like you probably checked the repartition button? Maybe not but if you do or did then the device will NOT boot unless you wipe it in recovery. If you get that far then reboot your phone. The operating system is already installed.
