Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my Samsung fascinate, I was rooted with d02 working fine but for some add reason my phone updated to ea28 and now the problem is my phone is stuck after the verizon animation and stays at a black screen, and to make matters worst when I try to do and Odin restore back d01 I cant because my phone/USB drivers is not recognize? I can get into stock recovery, but the update.zip that I have gives me an error saying e:\can not authenticate something or other...
Question is their an updated version of recovery? In an update.zip form? Any input would be appreciated

sounds like a soft brick i would make a jig and reflash back to stock with odin then start over again but get titanium backup after reflash to stock
You need to download the samsung drivers for the computer from your computer. Then your phone will be recognized.
I originally downloaded mine from the fascinate rooting thread on android central's fascinate forum.
Then Odin a .tar of your liking to get your phone working again.

hey guys, please i need alotta help.
i have the samsung vibrant obviously.
this is what my current situation is. im stuck at the phone to computer screen, and the only thing i can do is get into download mode. but when i try to load the stock vibrant rom using odin, it just stops at dont turn off target! the phone does indeed connect to odin so that's not the problem, but when i click start to flash the stock rom, it just stops at dont turn off target! i cant figure out why it wont flash the rom, and i have no idea what to do, please help! :[
this what i did that caused this. i had the oneclicklagfix installed from ryan. i then uninstalled the lagfix because i wanted to flash the bionex 1.3 rom. it seemed like it was flashing all fine, and then it booted up to the phone to comp screen! :[ like i said, i can only get into DL mode, and then odin doesnt do anything. i tried deleting all user data, and cache data. please help me, i dont know what to do! thanks alot!
Make sure you have the drivers for you phone and have the latest version of odin. I know it took me at least 3 to 4 tries with the old version of odin 1.0. The new version 1.3 went through on the first try.

I can attest to this. V1.0 kept having issues for me, so I downloaded V1.3 and had no issues. If you install Samsung Kies it should install all the drivers you need on your computer to communicate with your phone. If you still can't get it flashed back to stock try flashing this ROM first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558 and than flashing the stock ROM.
Try using a different USB port. I had the same issue "stuck on do not turn off target" while odin was using com4. When odin switched from com4 to com5 it completed in about 5 minutes.
Hi,
I think I screwed up my phone! I rooted yesterday and all was fine then today I tried to add a custom ROM but I think I did it wrong and now my screen is black and all I get is that I have an unexpected error. I have done an ODIN restore two times and it doesn't work... please please please help I can't brick my phone I need help!!
You need to provide more information. Were you on DI01, DJ05, DL09, EB01 when you rooted your phone and what rom did you try to flash.
Also which file did you try to odin, and did you add the file using the pda button on odin.
I was on EB01 I tried to flash to vinallia or something and then I tried to flash back to stock because my whole screen is black so I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648&page=19 and nothing happened I mean I know just have my wallpaper and no applications or anything I think my phone is broken and I am super freaking out and I don't know what to do!!
Can you explain your steps on how you used odin. Some people make a mistake here and mess up their phone (using phone button).
Also how did you flash the vanilla rom.
Try this

But before you do, download update.zip from this link I uploaded direct link
http://www.4shared.com/file/ReRrCtwV/update.html
Place update.zip into the sd card by taking out from the phone and mount it on computer
Then do the first thread I gave u. And when u get ur phone back up hold power button which will give u an option to go recovery click that and apply update.zip

I have done somerhing like u b4 I updated to eb01 n something happened so I tried install back to stock rom which became more complicated. So let me know if theres any progress after trying my method
Sent from my SC2.8/EB01 Fascinate using XDA Premium
You are going to be fine. You don't need to odin, you need to reinstall the rom. The first time I flashed a rom on my phone it did the same thing. You get a ton of messages and nothing shows up on your screen but the default background.
Was your phone stock before you tried to flash?
I can't really understand where you are in fixing this, but it sounds like your phone is successfully booting to the homescreen and now you want to know how to get back to where you were? If you're wondering why your apps are gone, it's because the DI01 odin package you flashed flashes everything, and does a factory reset on first boot as well, so all of you apps and data that wasn't stored on the SD card is gone. You'll have to re-install them via Titanium Backup if you had it, or manually if you didn't have any backups. Also, if you want to get back to EB01, you'll need to download the EB01 ROM, EB01 kernel, EB01 modem, as well as CWM recovery to flash as well.
His problem is that he has nothing. What is displayed after he boots is a series of error messages and then the home screen default widgets just show up as dead space "holders".
I am trying to remember how I fixed this... I think it had something to do with me not installing with clockwork mod installed correctly, but again, I'm not 100% sure.

This guy is right. I fixed it although I still couldn't send text messages so I merely took it to verizon and they are sending me a brand new fascinate

Hi guys, just new to these forums. I was forced to sign up due to my problems. just about 2 days ago i flashed these to my Galaxy Note Korean unit (SHV-E160S):
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09recovery.tar
i used Odin to flash the recovery file then booted into recovery mode to flash the kernel.. im sure i did right because i was able to use superuser and change my boot animation. unfortunately i found another update to the .tar and .zip file. i'm pretty sure its for my phone too so i went ahead and did the same thing. i kinda made a mistake in the process, i think i wiped the cache and all. dunno if i wiped partition but in the end i am only able to go to recovery & download mode. the Note will power up but won't get past the "Galaxy Note" screen. after that i will just be black. it's weird because it can still connect to Odin on my laptop although the screen is still black. is it a soft-brick? right now i'm trying to download an ICS stock rom and will try flashing it with Odin. i someone can help me please do. sorry by the way if this is a Korean Galaxy Note. this is the best category i could post since the AT&T and the SHV-E160S are the same in specs and all. hope someone could help me and spare me the pain from sending my unit for repair!
Sounds like a soft brick.. it seems you flashed perhaps the wrong file the last time otherwise it would be working like the last flash? ..I don't use odin often but I would restore my backup or just start over and use the last files to flash until you find something different
yeah i tried the others. i am able to flash the 1st recovery.tar but i cant seem to copy the .zip kernel because i dont have access to usb
about to flash stock ICS using Odin, hope this works! i just have one file which is a .tar file, hope this is the right file and don't brick!
OMG, i just pissed my pants *kidding*, the flashing of the stock ROM worked! and not onl that, i'm on ICS! all thanks to xda=developers forum for giving me the idea to flash a stock ROM! thanks guys! i'll never root my phone again i'd rather stay safe. thanks for the reply friend! ICS rocks!
Could you give me stock ics rom for e160s? thanks

Hey peeps
Ok I've been at this for two straight days now in order to try and unbrick this Telus Fascinate SGH-T959P
My buddy initially attempted to flash it with something and really messed it up to the point that even the battery wouldn't charge.
I don't even care if I get it to stock.. an amazing Rom/Kernel combo will also work.
So this is where I am today... and I have spent the last two days non-stop trying to fix this thing...I have been through sooo many forums posts and websites my brain is about to cook.
Software I am using
Odin v1.7 and v1.83.. I try to use the newest one.. just in case.
ADB / SDK installed and am able to push files across to the sdcard in my phone... everything seems good in that dept
Files that have got me to where I am today
T959TLJL3 Froyo original firmware (apparently)... but can not flash all of the files from the package ..zimage and a few others just fail to flash
s1_odin_20100512.pit file (Have atlas_v2.2.pit also but haven't had as much success with it)
SGH-T959-Stock_plus_voodoo_CwM_2.3.4v2
su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed
I can successfully boot the phone into download mode every single time using the volume up and down while plugging in the usb cable
Also if i just hit the power button I get a Telus 4G / Samsung splash screen and then the phone boots into CwM Voodoo Recovery v3.0.2.8x (Orange??)
In the CwM recovery mode, I can now finally mount all partitions and it looks like things will flash.
Now that I've finally got this phone to this point, I don't want to mess it up.
I want to make sure I have the right files to complete this little project.
Need some direction from the pros.. Am I able to flash a custom rom now ? And if so, what one is best to use.
From this point how can I revert to stock? Do I have the right files ? And how since Odin fails to flash the ones I have.
I figured going to stock first was easier, then use Kies to update it.
Show me the way
Thanks.

Wow... I got it .. Finally... After I figure out exactly what I used for files.. I will let you know.
All I can tell you right now is that I was flashing a single files at a time then powering down and coming back into download mode to flash the next file.
Right now the phone is all booted up and Running Android v2.3.3 (GB LKG2) and even tho the phone is actually a T959P.. the boot screen shows up as a T959D. Interesting.

No single file that I downloaded was able to flash the phone.
I ended up flashing individual files... and kinda had to mix and match, but was able to get the phone booting back into Android OS
However the phone was missing the EFS folder with IMEI info and such..
Still was not able to recover it 100%.
Message me with your email and I will try to send what I used.

I've been trying to unbrick an T959P as well, have it so i can also boot into CWM (from SGH-T959-Stock_plus_voodoo_CwM_2.3.4v2) but can never get it too boot into the OS. Tried several files to revert it back to stock but so far nothing has worked. Any hints would be appreciated, thanks in advance
To do it, get this file.
https://gofile.io/?c=tJd0Pd
Then get odin v1.85
https://gofile.io/?c=WHkZHO
Launch odin with admin powers (sudo/su for linux, or whatever).
Then click PDA and select the tar.md5 file and start.
Hopefully it soft bricked not hard bricked.

I don't have the phone or any software related to that phone. That post was from 7 years ago.
I bought her an unlocked i9205 back in December. It was rooted already. I put SU and TWRP on it and did a backup of it. Well she kinda trashed it so I did a TWRP restore which ended with an error. Now it just boots to the Samsung logo. Do I need to load a new ROM now? I'm hoping I can find something to just put on an SD card and flash with TWRP. Any help is good. I have a PC setup with drivers for it. PDANET, ADB, etc.. No Odin though.

I can get into TWRP recovery. Will any ROM work with that? Can you recommend any ROMs? The stock one was fine but it was so full of Samsung bloat it really didn't have much available RAM left of it's 1.5GB after boot. I guess I don't care as long as it's stable and works so I can get out of the doghouse...LOL

Grab Odin and flash stock ROM
*S.O.F.A*2SHAYNEZ*K.C.C.O*
Thanks guys. I'm trying a MegaFireMj2V3 just cuz I already downloaded it. Stock kinda sucked. I'd look and she'd have 3 apps running with low memory warnings. It was rooted and I'd uninstall a lot of bloat, but somehow it would auto update all the bloat right back within minutes. I'll go back to stock if needed but I want to try something de-crapped first.
- Joe
It's worse now.
Ok. Flashing MegaFireMj2V3 was a fail. It seems as if the system partition always fails. So I got Odin and a stock ROM. That failed also, and now I just have a couple of little red lines telling me to use Kies Recovery or something. And I can't get Kies to connect to it. My PC sees it. Samsung USB drivers install. Kies sees it plugged in but just lays there saying CONNECTING. I paid like $400 for this turkey for my wife for Christmas and now she's yelling at me that I blew it up.. I guess I can keep trying Kies but it's looking fail so far. This really stinks. I bought it on Amazon. It's supposed to have a 2 year warranty. It's Unlocked International Version with Warranty. But I don't know what country?

I don't have any recovery anymore. It boots to a small failed update message. It's toast unless I can get Kies to work somehow.
- Joe
there is a way to use Kies to get Stock on there.. It involves typing in the words of your model or something like that./
maybe someone here can remember better than I.
On the Note, Ive seen it alot. there is a certian way that you have to type in the make and model and it will stock-ize you.
That is "IF" you can get it to connect to Kies..
I'll suggest you use a different USB cable..
Some will and some wont connect.....
good luck
Why don't you to flash a stock rom with Odin, I think you have dounload mode (as you don't have custom recovery it is the only way) ?
Search YOUR rom on sammobile, or the same level (not possible to doungrade you shall have more problem ! )
Lol this also happened to me but to recover, since you now only have download mode, connect it to Odin on your PC and find a brand new firmware. Try the latest versions because that's your best shot of recovering it. It doesn't matter what region you pick as long as that the model number is the same. Do note however that if you fail the flash KNOX will trip up and you will void the warranty. If it doesn't fail, it should boot up to the Samsung logo. If it still bootloops, go into recovery (since it should be there now), and wipe everything. Then your phone should boot up nicely.
Note: New firmware contains KNOX so rooting and installing custom recovery is now dangerous.
