Hi guys, this is an amazing thread - thanks!
If you "brick" your phone, what then?
A new Moment without service plan costs $430 at Amazon. Is that the worst-case scenario? Or is there something else you can do?
To, that sounds like your using the newest Odin version. I had the same result when it tried the latest version. More than10 minutes sounds lilk its taking too long, so its probably not transfering any files/data. You migjt be able to confirm that by pulling the battery and booting the phone.Help, when I open Odin, I do not get any notification of detected or anything...
I have the 5 necesary files in my folder and 7 has recognized the phone as a samsung usb device.
Odin has been running for 12 minutes, should I worry?

Just to make sure, you are using the 3.98 version of Odin and not the 4.03 right?
No luck for me. Time to throw in the towel...
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
Edit... It worked! I am missing this file though
C:\SPH-M900\SS_DL.dll
Hi, I am going to try again after installing Samsung PC Studio 3.13 (for Win XP):
Samsung_PC_Studio_313_GL6.exe
which I found here:
Support for Sync
Supposedly, this will allow Windows XP to recognize the Samsung Moment in download mode. I will report back on whether or not this works.
There is also a version for Vista available at the above link.
Edit: This worked to get the PC to recognize the device correctly.
I installed the above software, then closed it out, then connected the device.
Next step: Odin!
Thanks - I thought I had closed it completely - it is not in my task list, process list or task bar - but Odin has now been running (step 3-2-10) for TWENTY MINUTES and nothing is happeningJust make sure you close all the way out of PC studio....it stays open in the taskbar on your PC.
Hi Gizmodo, Thank you very much. I had in fact noted those things, and thought I had closed everything, but clearly PC Studio was still running.You must have not read my post in another thread on flashing your phone. Like you, I did EVERYTHING I read in multiple posts in the forum. No luck. Then, I read a post by Zefie which included a couple of things.
1. Make sure PC Studio and NOT New PC Studio is installed but NOT running in the background and...
2. And this was the biggy...FireFox must NOT be running!
I had always left FireFox open to this forum so I could read each step as I did it. Once I closed the web browser, it worked flawlessly! Took about 45 seconds!
Hi - I installed PC Studio to get the drivers. If you're computer is recognizing the device, then you probably don't need it.Getting ready....and excited.
Do I have to have PC Studio installed? Or is that just for the drivers? I think my drivers are all set. I get just the drivers from the package in the tethering thread.....works fine.

Sigh...I need help...I followed all the steps got the to end. and even tho the usb is unplugged and everything it boots up and just stays at the pulsing samsung screen...ironically enough I thought this would fix my pulsing android screen that probably was caused by the stupid "techs" at sprint with my failed 2 hour update....I really wanna pitch the phone against the wall.
+1Well I was finally able to flash the update after installing PC Studios.
Now my question is should I also update the kernel with the Zefie's custom kernel? What will I get out of it?
