turn off your phone and plug it in to usb. then when the charging bar shows up you should be able to put it in download mode. if you can then just flash it again and make sure every thing is where its supposed to be

1. Open up Odin Multi Download
2. Under Select OPS, choose Behold2_partition.ops
3. Click PDA, choose the PDA File you are Trying to Flash Rather it Be BH_MAN Rom / or Stock
4. Power Off Phone
5. Make sure you have it connected via USB
6. Hold and Press Volume Down, OK, Power (the red end button)
7. Phone will say Download Mode
8. Click Start on Odin Multi Downloader.
9. Wait a couple of minutes
10. Stock Touchwiz phone working again!

Odin should be available in some of the downloads for the ROMS.

Make sure to use the Behold II OPS file.

how do i get and open the Odin Multi Download file the correct way cuz i dont think I did right the first time

SteveSlimer · Jul 21, 2010

This will be in lamens terms cause I'm not in from of my home computer.

I downloaded Odin Multidownloader that was contained in one of the zip files that is in the Root section of this forum. I believe it was in one of BHMan's ROM files.

Also download the OTA update from the OTA thread.

Before I connected my device, I unzipped everything, opened up Odin, plugged my phone in and then clicked browse next to the ops field and searched for the ops file that was included with the zip.

After that, check the "One Package" checkbox. Next to the One Package field, click browse and load in the OTA file.

Click Start and wait 5-10 mins. It should start up again.

If your computer doesn't recognize your phone when you plug it in, you need the driver for it. Again, I believe the driver that I used was in one of those zip files.

Also, from what I've heard, if you're using vista or Windows 7, you need to run Odin in compatibility mode. Whatever that means.

Good luck.

im trying to set up the samsung ADB driver but it says "Samsung mobile modem driver was not installed successfully (16) There is a driver installed for the device, please uninstall it first" What does that mean and what do i do?

djquick · Jul 21, 2010

Update the driver. Also in this forum, there is a thread that hat the drivers specifically for Vista and Windows 7 that you can download and install. Just do a search for it. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and I never have problems with adb, Odin, or syncing my phone with the usb cord.

SteveSlimer · Jul 21, 2010

Try to reinstall it?

I distinctly remember having trouble installing the driver. Pair that with only one of my usb ports working on my netbook and not knowing what to do was a disaster the first few times.

Do you have adb installed? You can download that from google.

No im tryin to instal adb now but i keep getting that message but when i look for better drivers my computer says i have the most up todate drives

The BH2 uses special drivers that are different than other Androids. It may "accept" the normal drivers but they won't work.

Check Add/Remove Programs for any Android drivers and uninstall them there.

If you don't find anything, open Device Manager from the Control Panel. Connect the phone with the USB cable. Look for anything Samsung or Android under "Modems" and "USB Devices".

If you find something you will have to do a few steps. Leave Device Manager in the background. Place a folder containing the Samsung ADB drivers in a location you can find, like the desktop. Back in Device Manager, select each of the previously found devices and right click > Update Driver Software. Chose "Browse my computer..." and pick the location where you saved the driver files. The rest should be pretty straight forward.

Thanks. I was going to walk through the process myself before I posted, but I wasn't at home.
