Odin not working.....

---

So what if Odin doesnt work? what do you do to get your phone back operational? Ive tried 4 different md5 and tar files, the same pit file and still nothing. it fails either at recovey section or in the factoryrs section. is it time to get a new phone?

No, it's time to use a non-stock USB cable (try first, 85% of the time this is the problem) and/or a different USB port or PC.

ive tried 5 cables total. 3 didnt even register with pc something was plugged in. the other 2 work but they both share the same problem.

Sounds like most of them are bad - try a known-good one. Definitely try other USB ports, and then another PC. Also, drivers - reinstall them.

Is your phone sponged (stuck at Samsung) or just need to get back to stock?

Do you BONSAI?

its shows the samsung logo and that is all. when trying to get into the recovery, it shows a phone - exlamation mark - and a computer. i figure Odin is the only thig i can do to respolve this at this point.

how can there be a computerless version if i cant get to recovery to install anything, and the only thing the phone does is go to download mode?

So it goes into download mode but Odin doesn't recognize it...and you tried 5 cables and 3 PCs and all of their ports. You have also tried connecting without a battery, connecting to computer with Odin up and boot into download mode. No COM port shows up in Odin and no driver install errors on the computer. Still sounds like a bad cable or bad port on the phone.

NO NO NO. i think you understood me wrong. It goes to download mode and Odin does recognize it. i've tried 5 cables, only 2 of the 5 cables work. ive tried it on 2 pc's (one xp and the other vista) and havetried all the ports on both computers. vista wont see it period. xp sees it but fails during the process. so to my knowledge, ive tried everything.
