Help Galaxy Wonder (GT-i8150) refuses to be flashed using Odin

Pentium Master Race · Feb 1, 2017

I recently picked up a Gt-i8150 from a relative of mine and i decided to root it and install cyanogenmod on it. I managed to install root through the stock recovery, and install CWM using Flashr on the phone itself. However, when i tried to install using CWM from the zip folder, it would repeatedly give out a "bad zip" error. Also, after trying to reinstall the recovery, i can no longer boot to Android, leaving me only with the option to use download mode (installing using CWM gives "bad zip" error). Using Odin to flash back stock rom, or any rom for that matter, would only result in a "success 0 / failure 1" error. I tried everything i could think of that could have went wrong, changing cables, swapping ports, reinstalling drivers and even building a PC from left over parts just to try, but they all yield the same error as before.

TL;DR : GT-i8150 can't be flashed through Odin, giving "success 0 / failure 1" error. What should i do?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Solved my "Bad zip" problem by swapping to a higher quality SD card and flashing from it.

Latest firmware version is 2.3.6
What version of Odin are you using?

I think you need to use Kies. This device may predate Odin.

I used 3.09

Since it is a older device, try a early version of Odin. Look at 1.70 or 1.82

First version of Kies might also work as mentioned by @Bg260

Well, i did try the 1st one, but that only resulted in the "success 0 / failure 1" error.
As for the second one, the phone is soft bricked, so Kies is def out.

Hmm that might work i'll give it a go

If you can get into download mode, you can still use Kies. This is a guide for Kies3. Earlier versions should be similar.

It will select the correct firmware based on your model number and SN.

For some reason Kies and Kies3 interferes with Odin and produces "USB unrecognized" error, is this normal?

Yes. Sorry should have mentioned that earlier. Uninstall Kies before running Odin.

Sometimes they can clash with each other if both programs try to start when you connect phone. There is a way to prevent Kies from running at startup but I usually uninstall Kies and keep the USB drivers if I'm going to run Odin.

Pentium Master Race · Feb 4, 2017

Ok, i have uninstalled all Kies on my pc and my phone is detected, yay!
From what i can see in Odin 1.70, it seems to be stuck at "SetupConnection..."

Unplug the device, close Odin. Put device in download mode and reconnect. Then open Odin.
If that doesn't work, try a different cable or different Odin.

No news is good news?

Did you try a different cable. I've had folks in my debrick thread use as many as 4 before having success.

Dayum, might as well sort out a few cables as well! A bit busy lately so might need a bit of time to try...

It seems that the cables do not affect anything, at least for my case. I am starting to suspect that the CWM recovery i flashed may be the cause of all the errors. Is it possible to flash a new recovery using ADB or something else?

Look at Odin Multi Downloader V4.43
Seems to be compatible with your older device

seems like it might work, i will give that a shot

HAHA! i think i managed to solve the problem! As the SD card i was using prior was low on storage, i swapped it out and it didnt give "bad zip" error any more! I even managed to install Lollipop on my i8150! Turns out the previous SD card was faulty, causing all sorts of corruptions.

And to those who have helped guide me, i really appreciated your efforts. Thanks a bunch!
