Com4 in Odin

---

Hi, I plugged in my galaxy S to try and flash the firmware and in Odin instead of Com7 it says Com4 - what should I do to fix this? Thanks.

Kind of interested what made you think it has to be com7?

It can be any - mine is 11.

they saw the tutorial on youtube.
there can be any com port, theres no requirement for the com to be number 7 .

Ah I watched a youtube video. Anyway im using the JM2 firmware from samsung-firmwares.com and when I flash it doesnt even start, just says fail. Ive checked im using everything in the right place but it says this:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Great, now it has got to here:

It has frozen there and there is no progress bar or anything. Everything is greyed out - what should I do? Im scared

Check your USB Drivers. See if you can see the device in the Device Manager.
If its frozen now just unplug and turn your phone on and off.

Ok so now it shows an icon of a phone connecting to a PC with a danger sign in the middle, no matter if I turn it off or not. Is it bricked or what can I do?
Also it doesnt show up when I plug it back in...#
And now it has frozen again when I try to update the firmware -.-

Did you flash with the correct PIT file?

Yeah the 512.pit. Now whenever I try to flash it doesn't get beyond file analysis...
Also, what is a 512 pass?

No idea what a 512 pass is.

How long are you waiting for the flash to complete? On some firmwares it can take a long time (5 minutes or so). What settings have you changed in odin?

Your device may also have a hardware fault.
