[Q] Flash failed! What to do?

---

Hey guys,

Im new to xda-developers, and also a noob with my galaxy s plus, just got it one week ago .
And how it had come, i tried to flash my i9001 with Gingerbread 2.3.4 (XXKP4) from samfirmware.com.
OK, first i put my phone into download mode, connected it to my pc, and started flashing with odin multi downloader 4.33. i was wondering how long it took to transfer the data, but after 10 minutes there happened something, and it went on until system.ext4. Exactly at this point, after 1 hour (!) flashing, nothing happened anymore, i waited for one more hour, and finally disconnected my phone.
after trying to restart, the SAMSUNG logo appeared, and then then i saw the following logo:

At the left side is a mobile, at the right side a pc. there is an arrow, from mobile to pc, that is disturbed by a warning sign.

I can still enter download mode, but every try i did failed. always stops at the
system.ext4
file!

Pleeease, i need your help guys! i dont belive it is bricked, but dont know what to do now, already tried to flash original firmware, doenst work!!

greetings

nothing to worry about

since you still can enter the download mode u can flash ur device

try another computer or another os or try other usb ports

that happens to me too, about few weeks ago.

what I did, I downloaded and re-flashed this one:
http://bit.ly/i9001firmware

If I can remember it right, that was 2.3.3 ~ after successfully re-flashing with the above firmware for around 10 minutes. I redo it again in 2.3.4 (I took my 2.3.4 from samfirmware too!)

by the way, if you are re-flashing using a desktop pc... I suggest for you to use the USB port that was built from the motherboard. It was more reliable than using a hub.

Hey guys, I have the same problem.. Can somebody pleaaaaaaaase tell me a good solution?

Vickoy, there is a password on the firmware.... Somebody PLEASE help me!

same problem here, wile trying to flash I9001XXKG1 I9001XXKG3 I9001XXKP4
odin cant' get past system.ext4 download.. or system.img.ext4 download..

then i close odin after 15min of waiting, flash it again with Boot_loader.tar
and phone boots normally
