Did you try the button combo to get into download/odin mode? If so you need to get a usb jig to force it into download mode so you can flash back to stock via odin

Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.

i can get into download mode by plugging usb while holding the vol up/vol down. but when it asks me to press vol up, it takes me to the same screen with "phone-!-PC".

Ok, just tried this method, when i get into download mode i click vol up and continues to the screen im stuck on.

odin still didnt recognize my phone

me 2

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.

yeah, i re-installed the samsung kies drivers and deleted running apps in task manager. i also re-installed phone drivers to my cpu. and i re-installed odin to the cpu and restarted the cpu after each method. nothing worked!!! i also tried holding the vol+home+power button, but the error message just pops up.

Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode

joselarajan87 · Dec 3, 2011

if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,

open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..

have you tried reinstalling kies, try it thats what i did. i was in the same screen, it was never read by odin until i did exactly that.

My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work

And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.

FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.

Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.

So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.

My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.

So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.

UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?

Kies Firmware Emergency Recovery

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,

First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.

Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.

Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.

Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.

hit the thanks button if this helped
