Does your phone have any sign of life at all?

i am trying again, but i think it's stuck at the same spot AGAIN

Do you have the drivers? Try another USB cord and port.

THANK YOU ALL FOR your amazing will to help!!! Can't thank you enough!

By the way, on the phone display, it's stuck exactly between the "D" and the "o" of the word "downloading" (if you know what I am mean here, not sure I am explaining myself right)

i will try a different USB and PORT

(wow my anxiety is through the roof)

I used it for the first time the other day and it went great, I actually used it 3 times in the same day...long story. I've heard about the port thing but it never did anything different for me. If you installed Odin correctly and It has the stock file for your phone than it should work.

Thank you!!

You have to extract the stock file (probably called something else) when you open Odin I believe you have to click pit than select th file that you extracted.

When you open the Odin folder you should see 2 things, the Odin program in which youd launch and the stock file for your phone, the stock file needs to be extracted or unzipped (not sure which is the correct term) run Odin, plug phone in, select file from pit tab, stick start.

IT WORKED (didn't change anything, just didn't touch the phone this time - how could this be related though? bad USB cord? just lucky?)

I was getting the same problem but different places on differnt trys. AdamOutler helped me by switching to heimdall and it ran it in less than 5 min. Odin was barely noticing my phone half the time and the other half was getting stuck
