Have you tried a different USB port? Also re-installing the drivers might work.
Hope it helps, Good luck.
Your drivers up to date?

Check the file you are trying to odin. I all but guarantee that you have a corrupt file on your hands.
EDIT:
To be a tad more specific:
Download the odin patch again two more times. Either make sure you can unpack the tar, check the corresponding md5sums, or simply look at the file byte sizes to see if two are identical. Odin really freaks out if you give it bad files.
That is a good thing! Far better that than flash bad data to your pda.

Hey thanks for quick responses.
I currently have the 'Samsung_Mobile_USB_Driver_V1.3.550.0_SCH-i500_Fascinate.msi' Driver installed
I believe I had installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe before when I was trying to get it rooted.
I have not yet tried a different USB port... I will and get back to you...

When you say odin patch I guess you mean the 'CWMrecovery.tar'
I can unpack it and I have a 'recovery.bin' and a 'zImage' inside the file.
both 5081 KB in every 'CWMrecovery.tar' that I have.
Weird. My old copy from Nov. 26 is 9.93MB (10,414,130 bytes). It contains zImage and recovery.bin, each 5,202,168 bytes. I must be wrong, then.
EDIT:
Just for sake of good practice, I did look up the md5 for that file and I did download it again, and they do match. There are a lot of ways to get MD5s, I used a program called digestIT 2004 to generate it.
http://goo.gl/HELdr
ecfeb7b1633786c1ae9dfb276bfeb231 CWMrecovery.tar
I had no problems downloading it, the hosting is good. It's highly unlikely that I was right about resolving your Odin error.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. I did this once way way back when and had no issues. I did have an issue with a modem.bin packed in a tar later on, and the errors looked a lot like what you are getting now, so I assumed it was the same problem. Thanks for humoring me, and good luck.
I'm a nub.. help..
So I've been trying to follow directions here, but I feel I'm missing something very simple... I cant even get this restore started, it keeps telling me "Invalid Image Type" when i select the CWMrecovery.tar file?? help??
it could be that Kies, or other application that uses USB connection is active.

^^ Tried that alas to no avail
So I decided to spend a little 5 minutes to myself at work and decided to do it on my works laptop but it wouldn't recognize the gadget driver so I downloaded mini kies as suggested on another thread and again that didnt work, So I got the Samsung USB driver exe from one of the other guys computers in my office who has the Galaxy S and has a full version of kies (located in C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver\) installed that and then followed the steps again from the previous guide and jobs a goodin.
I cant understand why it doesn't work on my home PC, all I can think of is that there is something running in the background, either my AV that's not alerting me or some silly service I have stopped or is running

Step 5: Connect your device to your PC and start Odin3 v1.83. If you installed Samsung Kies correctly, you should see the box in the top left corner of Odin underneath where it says ID:COM should be Yellow and displaying the name of a Com Port your device is connected to.
I cant get there, it doesnt go yellow. I have kies installed correctly, not sure whats wrong

Did you make sure you are in Download mode, and the drivers were installed correctly? Also, did you make sure you added the kernel file in the correct section? (without ticking any unnecessary things)
Yes.
Now it wont switch on.
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Did you tick the PIT box?
Edit - sorry, just reread, you haven't. I hope..
No i didn't. I restored the original firmware but it still wont turn on normally.
Did you have kies running in the background? Make sure you end all kies applications - end process
Nope had shut kies.
Could be a cable failure. Try a different USB cable.
I only have 1 cable. I restored the kernels and it went green that it worked. But my phone doesn't work.

You can get a new USB cable for a couple of bucks. I've got like 6 due to all the devices I've had over the years, and 2 of them are bad. They don't last forever.
Managed to restore device using tutorial i found on google androidcute.*com/install-android-2-3-6-gingerbread-for-samsung-galaxy-s2.html
after restoring i decided to give rooting another go.
all worked out fine, i installed rom manager after and it keeps rebooting itself after every few mins

ROM Manager is the devil. I don't think it plays well with CWM. How are you rooting? If you root using a CF-Root kernel, it will auto-install the CWM app, which I believe does everything ROM Manager does.
I used S2 Root, i uninstalled rom manager though.

Last time I had this issue, it was some app I installed, but I couldn't figure out which one. I flashed back to stock and was more selective in which apps I chose to reinstall. I've also made sure that all the apps are on phone memory instead of SD card as there was some speculation flying around that this could also contribute to this issue. Haven't had a random reboot in months now.
Hey everyone, so I've been using a Cyanogenmod S2 for the past few months and everything was great.
Until recently it started to reboot by itself,
until one day when I woke up "Kernel panic upload mode" was on the screen.
I rebooted the phone,
and then was greeted with a black screen after the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen.
The buttons do light up, but nothing else could be done.
I entered download mode to flash a new firmware,
but then somehow it failed and then it says connect to computer to redownload firmware or something when I boot it on right now.
I can't get it to flash anything at all, whenever I use odin it gets stuck at setup connection,
I installed Kies but it doesn't recognize my phone as well, neither does my computer....
Need help. Desperately. :crying::crying::crying:

That's the problem, I can't seem to get Odin to flash no matter what, I've already tried different versions of Odin,
but they always end up with either this (failure) or stuck at setup connection..
Any ideas, please?
There's been many threads re: this issue on here over the past week listing the troubleshooting steps to go thru when Odin won't work, search for those threads (Immortalneo has listed them, go through his posts as a shortcut).
Edit - Hang on a minute, what model number do you have; what's the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?

I'm using a GT-i19100
I'm going through immortalneo's posts but so far nothing's up..
Am currently following this guide but to no avail, (no .pit file in the compressed .rar file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40154030&highlight=+pit#post40154030
Edit: I think it's a GT-i19100G because I vaguely remember such a thing on the startup screen...
If you've got an I9100, why are you trying to flash firmware for T-989 ?? I suggest you go back to Samfirmware & get an I9100 stock rom for starters.
Ignore that guide; your phone isn't bricked. However, it may well be if you try & flash a PIT file (Although, if you've somehow flashed firmware for a different model including PIT, you may need to at some point. Just not yet). OK. This is the first & last time I'm posting this stuff for the next month:-
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work
-----------------------------------
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & all it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are (choose 'kill process tree').
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
Hello everyone ..
It could solve the problem? I am in a very similar, and have helped me a lot, but none of the options so far have been effective. I'm starting to resign myself to use it as a paperweight, but still have not lost hope.:crying:

Stop Now :0 ! You are trying to install a T-Mobile T989 firmware.It's a Galaxy s2 too,but from T-Mobile.It's not the same.Search on Sammobile for an I9100 firmware,preferable Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.Of course it gives an error,because it's not the right firmware.
Now this thread is just fun!

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I've tried everything I can think of including using different firmwares, pits, as well as versions of Odin. That's as far as I get before it fails.
How are you trying to do it? As I recall (I don't have an M250 so didn't pay crazy attention) there's two ways to convert one to an i9100. One involves Odin failing intentionally. Although, the method involving a pit file doesn't intentionally fail. If you're flashing pits and they're failing that's definitely not good... Potential brick.
Search for a guide in the s2 general section, I read one a couple weeks back which members were using with success.
You can also click the link in my signature and follow the steps there. As you're not doing a 'regular' Odin flash bear in mind some things will be a little different.

I actually was following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30976988&postcount=1182
I swapped usb cables and it got to nand write this time before it failed. Now my phone stays in page that says upgrade with a samsungmobile.com link. I can still get into download mode.
Edit: I tried another computer and it worked flawlessly. So now I'm running on i9100. Although I'm having a few issues. It doesn't show my battery charging when the usb is plugged in. Also when I shut down my phone it doesn't completely shut down. It goes to a screen with a green battery. This actually happened before but I thought perhaps changing firmware would fix it. Before this the device would come back on automatically when I tried to shut it down and I read it could be the usb port so I cleaned the usb port with alcohol.

Ah so it may not be a case of what you're trying to do, it might be a case of how the flash is set up/what hardware (pc, cable etc) you're using. In that case, use the link in my signature to troubleshoot it. Perseverance is key. Also have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45131292

I have a US SPH-D710 Sprint Samsung S2.that was working OK on ICS 4.0.4. I decided to upgrade to JB via Kies, following the procedure discussed at the official Samsung page on us on support at SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00052384&fm_seq=60310 (sorry, I cannot post links)
I had to install Kies, which was not previously installed. It installed OK. Everything started out well and the phone went to 98% or 99% and then the flash failed. Power cycling, the phone came up with a complaint
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I did recovery mode, to the same effect. I then tried the Simple Upgrade tool, to the same effect. It always got to about 98% or 99% and then failed, giving no information, just a failure..
I uninstalled my anti-virus completely (as it was old anyway and it's time to buy a new license) and tried again. Same thing. The simple downloader fails with "Error Occurred! Cancel Download!!"
Then, I went to QBKing and followed a link from qbking77's web page at how-to-root/root-the-samsung-epic-4g-touch/ to a thread at sxtpdevelopers where I downloaded SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Restore.exe and it fails without giving any reason at "hidden"

No complaint at all, just the above. I have tried multiple times with different USB ports and different USB cables. I have successfully flashed/rooted/Odin'd other Samsung phones from this PC before. It's 64-bit Win7. This specific phone has never previously been rooted or flashed. It was on FL24.
The phone goes into download mode just fine, but is otherwise useless. In download mode, the phone says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-D710
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
What can I do to bring this phone back to life?
I got it working
I went into my office and, using a computer appropriate for this use there, followed exactly the same steps with the same file, for the simple download tool this time, and using a third micro-USB cable, and it worked on the first try. Go figure. This was after trying various different things for about six hours at home, on my Win7 laptop that has worked many times before for other Samsung phones (an Epic 4G and an S4).

I think that the problem was that you didn't installed the correct drivers on your windows 7 laptop :fingers-crossed:
Or the file was corrupted, and when you downloaded it in your office, the download of the stock rom was succes full

Definitely could have been any of those. I was just confused as I'd successfully used Odin on that laptop with several other Samsung phones, both newer and older than the S2. And also because it always got to 98% or 99% before it failed. I think this tells me I need another Win 7 box at home, for troubleshooting this kind of problem.

I didn't realize that the Sprint version of this phone was so different from the non-Sprint version (nor that this forum was for the non-Sprint version). I found the forum you referenced, and will direct all future questions for this phone over there. Thanks for the pointer.
Ok,I think theres maybe 20 odd different ones.Someone could think youve a standard s2 and give wrong info based on that.
