My phone froze while i was putting on a rom. I odin it it reset but hung up at the android screen. I have used several roms with no problems at all now when I go into download odin cant find my phone it keeps saying plug in your phone. I have pulled the battery several times also pulled my sd card and sims card. I am running windows 7 and xp on another computer. I have also tried different usb ports. When I plug in my phone it charges but thats it. Is there something else to try that I have forgot about?


well after about 75 times of pulling the battery odin finaly found it so I am back up and running

well My phone works but odin still cant find it. I dont feel like pulling my battery another 50 - 75 times.

chadmd23

Did you put it in download mode? I forgot once, and it was very frustrating.

The drivers are a must as well.

nomadrider123

oh ya i have put on about 5 roms with no problems at all just the last time it hung now odin doesnt see it unless i try about 50 times


drivers are still there xp doesnt recognize it either must be a hardware issue on my phone now.

riayn7

Everything is flashing fine, til it gets to system. The green bar gets to 50% and the time just keeps ticking 20+mins...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

rudoFF

which rom are you trying to flash? are you doing a kernel/ phone/ bootloader?

riayn7

Warheads PDA. It looked like boot and kernel flashed fine..

rudoFF

I'm pretty sure when you flash warheads, it will replace whatever kernel you have on there...

so you flashed the phone...and boot already? and now you're trying to do the pda and it gets stuck? what does it say/ what is it doing on the phone?

riayn7

Time just keeps on ticking in odin... how long is it supposed to take? I've retried but it never finishes...

rudoFF

did the phone ever reboot or anything? if it is just stuck in the flashing process...then try pulling the battery...put it back in download mode and try again.

riayn7

It never rebooted, now I'm stuck in Odin on "setup connection"... I've tried 2 different computers

riayn7

phone wont boot, stays on samsung screen...

and odin is stuck at "setup connection"

did i break my phone?

rudoFF

did you battery pull and start all over...or are you keeping the phone where it's stuck and moving from computer to computer?

riayn7

yes, I've pulled the battery numerous times and get the same results..

rudoFF

try flashing a different rom. like dots, or a galaxy rom. see if that does anything. if it does the same thing...try to flash the stock 1.5 factory rom package (boot/pda/phone all in one file instead of all 3 separately, if you can't find it I'll link you).

Jesus = me!

make sure when you plug your phone in if you have windows xp to download and install every installation it tells you to install and download even if you think you have evrything . cause i was doing that then i was like hey what if i install eerything when it pops up or shows things i thought i installed . so i did that and it was other additonal sofware drivers for my behold 2 that i needed and as soon as that downloaded i reconected my phone and then it recognized it and bam it came up and press start and flashed . took about 6mins.


preety easy sorta .
i had to struggle a bit though it really is easy doe.

supose to have samsung mdem and something else
its like 2 or 3 different stuff u need to get i thnk modem and sometihng else then it will recognze it

willymike69

I can not get the drivers to load. It just keeps coming up saying that the driver did not install correctly.
I am running windows 7 64.
Can someone please help?

BH_MAN

you will have to manually install the drivers from Device Manager

willymike69

Thanks! I got the driver to load, but ODIN installer will still not see my phone.
I hate to keep bothering you, but is there anything I need to do before I follow these procedures?
Stock Behold II - Nothing done to it.

WIWI-HEAD

I've asked this question in another thread, but haven't gotten an answer.

I followed the above instructions to use BH_MAN 1.6(noTouchWiz) on my phone.
It appears that I have got it working since the phone shows that its in 1.6 now.

My concern is the BOOTLOADER and PHONE. I didn't flash those because the instructions didn't say to, but I've seen messages saying:

"ONLY FLASH BOOT / PHONE Once.... Once Flashed You Only Have to Flash the PDA File if doing a Restore, Never flash the Phone & Boot file more than Once!!!!!!"

I came from a stock 1.5 factory phone.

So should I flash OPS and PDA again, along with BOOT and PHONE?

I don't want to run into problems regarding this issue in the future, so if someone could answer I would greatly appreciate it. A clear brief explanation on the purpose of each would be even more helpful so I could help newcomers like me on the forum.

THANKS AHEAD!

blackerwater

hey Bhman im on Gnome just got it set up. cant use odin but i got adb set up and the sdk . i need to unOdin your files to push them right?

SteveSlimer

No, if you download the Warheads zip, the ODIN program is there. You just load the appropriate files in the software and let it run.

Make sure you have the drivers installed or your computer will not recognize your phone.

mwl1119

How do I manually install the drivers?

SteveSlimer

What computer OS are you running?

mwl1119

windows 7 64-bit home premium

mwl1119

the only driver that would install is a modem driver

SteveSlimer

In one of the rom zips, there was a copy of the driver that you could manually install.

I don't have it on my work computer, otherwise I would host it for you.

Found this though. http://www.junefabrics.com/bin2/SamsungUsbBehold.zip

mwl1119

Yeah that is the one I am using and it came up as a "samsung modem".

mwl1119

Nevermind the "modem drivers" worked I am now running stock 1.6

SteveSlimer

Nice!

creglenn

I keep losing root access for some reason. Foe example I can load any rom but after about an hour I cant use apps that require root. Like cache mate or titanium backup. The apps tell me I dint have the required credentials. So I go to better terminal and type "su" and wait for the "#" so that I know I have root but it gives me an error. So the only way to get root back is to reboot phone.

Now my question is why does this happen? Is it because I never flashed the bootloader or phone?

I'm running Win 7 Pro x64, and was able to manually install all the drivers, but at the end Windows warned me that "this version of windows is unable to use unsigned drivers" or something like that. So, basically it is blocking the drivers because they don't have some BS digital signature.

Ugh.

BurgDog

Lots of people get extremely frustrated trying to get the drivers to work on W7 x64. Very few succeed. I gave up and used my 32-bit W7 netbook. No problems at all.

Nu11u5

What's worse is MS makes developers pay thousands of dollars for their seal of approval.

Apparently Samsung didn't pay the MS tax.

If somewhere there are signed drivers I'll try to find them.

Work-around for 64bit

Before installing the drivers and when ever you need to use the related device in the future, press and hold 'F8' at boot up until the windows startup menu appears. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".

I'll put this in my readme's.

Can you help on how to get stated cause im new with all this and i dnt know where to start and the steps in the first page seems like im reading chinese.. (don't understand it)

smcbride152

I heard that you can't do an ODIN Flash until you root the phone. Is this true? If not, is flashing with ODIN worth it?

suyash1

you dont need to root the phone to Odin. you Odin to root the phone if you want root or you can simply update to a ROM that doesn't have root

willone

so its safe to flash roms without rooting them first? cuz im kinda stuck on rooting my bh2 try3.dat wont work..... my win7 64bit already detected my phone...

willone

the odin file link is kinda broke.. really appreciate if theirs a new one. i sorta new in this not sure what to DL

fifrip

noob question i know but flashing kernels in odin is done the same way as full roms eh?

j0hnh0lmes

Yes, put the behold ops in the ops slot and put the kernel in the pda slot.

Don't buy Samsung, they don't update, they just launch a new phone.

markanon

Also, for anyone new to flashing your phone with a new ROM, I cannot overstate the importance of following the instructions regarding the battery.

It is extremely important that you install on a 100% full battery, then drain down to 0% when the phone shuts down on its own. Then recharge to 100% with the phone completely off.

I didn't completely follow these instructions, and my phone wasn't able to make it through a single day on standby. I re-flashed the ROM, followed the directions this time, and my battery life has tripled, so I have no problem making it through a day of moderate to heavy use.

I guess they have instructions for a reason some times.

virusbetax

i usually dont have the time and thought to do that so i just the batterystats.bin file after a full charge. its quicker IMO.

am i doing the batterystats.bin trick right?

brooklyntrend

I followed everything to the "T"! I installed the drivers and Odin picked up my Behold 2 with no problem. I chose the behold_ops and the PDA for stock and hit start. Everything so far so good. Then, BAM! It says downloading kernal and doesn't make any progress. The Behold was never rooted just trying to reflash the stock image because Factory Reset doesn't seem to work. What should I do?

I have a similar problem. When flashinf with Odin, it gets through most of it, but when it gets to system, it just goes on forever. It never finishes. I can always get into the download mode, the drivers work, Odin finds the phone, it starts the flashing process, and just hangs during it and never finishes. I have tried this 1000 times. I have not tried flashing the boot, etc seperately yet.
