Odin stuck at SetupConnection

Hi guys i get the same error as some others on this thread

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

It just sits here, I am definately in Download mode, not recovery.

Have tried different USB Cables/Ports

Tried with Kies installed then uninstalled kies and installed just drivers.

Confirmed i have ADB drivers by opening CMD and typing ADB Devices and my device shows up ok.

Have tried with USB Debbuging ticked and unticked.

Have taken battery out for a few minutes and tried again.

have tried rebooting PC

This is the first time i have used ODIN ( i have used fastboot and oneclick solutions on other devices) and i am at a complete lose can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Amrael:
I think some are troubled cause they probably come from Cyanogen before having a SGS2.... where emmc is external SD and /mnt/sdcard is internal.

it is troubling when you jump between the two( CM rom or samsung roms), but since i use your kernels since SGS, i've never found it a problem, as long as you know what is in what
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BruteSource:
Okay so I searched around and didnt see anyone else having this issue on this forum.. I rebooted into CWM and I cant select anything? Home Just Goes to the root menu, power just makes everything disappear and reappear?

I am thinking this is Because the SII has no joystick button? So Do I have to reflash stock to get out of this now? Cause pulling the battery just brings me back?

*Edit*

I Believe this is because I grabbed the wrong Kernel. I dont know what kernel I have because it just says Kernel Version 2.6.35.7 in my phone info?

Please help now I bricked my phone!

*Yet Another Edit*

Okay I used one of the GB Kernels that allowed me to use the power button as okay. But I still think this is the wrong Kernel. How am I supposed to know which one if the info only shows 2.6.35.7 in the info?

It also like switched my home and backs functions, actually Home is back, and Back and Search do nothing... How can I just get back to my original Kernel please?

*EDIT*

Great, so now that I have no Home button function, I am not able to get into download mode... So WTF do I do now? Please help :(

Odin stuck at SetupConnection

No one can help me with this? I'd really like to use the CF-Root it appears to be a well built complete rooting option. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nickporwal:
First of all exit the kies if you want to use ODIN. Its not a good idea to run both the programmes simultaneously.

then change the USB port. Use some other USB port on your PC. Then check in device manager if your Mobile is being detected.

Then also check whether ODIN has detected your phone after connecting it in download mode. Check if showing COM port or not.

then put kernel in PDA section and flash it.

I hope this will help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ichigo66:
Thanks for the reply

I have tried all that. kies is not even installed it was the only way I could get the drivers installed properly. Kies wouldn't install the CDC driver so I installed the drivers separately and uninstalled Kies. With the phone turned on and USB Debbuging ticked I can open a cmd prompt and check adb devices and it shows up. But if I put my phone into Odin mode (download mode) and open cmd and check adb devices it doesn't show up. Should it show up in that mode?

I have tried 4 different Ports and 3different cables I have downloaded 2 different links of odin3 in case it was the program.

With Odin open and phone in download mode and connected to PC Odin shows 0:com5 or com6 etc dependently which port it is plugged into and Odin says "added" so I am assuming Odin has recognized the phone?

I hate to be a bother I just have this habit of not being able to let problems go until there solved drives me nuts lol.

OT; Chainfire, Mate all i have to say is major kudos to you for creating cf-root ! Here's a story for you: Had a customer come in with a phone going to insurance for liquid damage, he had 5gb of photos/videos of his newborn child which he thought he'd lost. thanks to you and cf-root i was able to recover them via cwm usb mount ! Your work is greatly appreciated in every aspect.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
@chainfire,

i having issues with all ICS based kernels:

1)

Is not possible to stablish a adb connection with the phone in recovery.

If I use "adb shell" the system says "Device not connected" all the time, even

if I restart the server (adb kill-server)

2)

In normal mode, when I stablish a connection with adb or I start a terminal in

the phone using a shell application (eg. TerminalEmulator.apk), and I

execute a simple command (ls), a error is raised if i'm not in the / folder

(see screenshot)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Doca00:
Ok, please don't flame me as I've spent the best part of 2 days reading this thread & I'm about to root but I still have a couple of questions.

My Kernal is XWKI4 and my Android Version is 2.3.4, so the correct CF-Root is:

CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_KI4-v4.1-CWM4.zip

I got that.

I then intend to use the VillainROM which seeems to based on Android 2.3.5. Should I then change the Kernal to match? Is it ok to have a Kernal older than the ROM?

I cant find the answers in the VillainROM instructions but I could just as easily be upgrading to a stock 2.3.5 ROM.

I've had a rooted Desire for 18 months & this really is like starting again and the information is really fragmented.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
It doesn't matter much, you just need CWM recovery to flash VillainROM with. So just install whichever CF-Root matches up with your kernel now.

VillainROM will flash a different kernel with it anyways.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Doca00:
Ok thanks.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
hi all,

Please do not kill me because of me asking this (i did tried to search).

I rooted my phone succesfully using CF's manual. I only have a question about the triangle manual. it says:

"(6) Fire up ODIN, and flash the Samsung kernel

(7) Boot the device with the stock kernel. CWM Manager will still be available.

(8) Start CWM Manager, select Flash Kernel, and select the zImage from CF-Root you previously put on your SD-card. The kernel will flash and the device will reboot."

i wonder why step 6 needs to be done from odin. Since CWM manager is already installed when rooted can't that flash that kernel and afterwards the zimage? is there a reason for this?

Maybe it's a stupid question but i'm using android for only 2 days now (after years of epoc/symbian) and i try to learn.

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
It's because ODIN talks to the bootloader to flash the kernel, and the bootloader governs the triangle.

Sure, the CWM can flash any kernel you want, but that doesn't affect the triangle, because the CWM app (and Mobile ODIN, and kernel flasher, etc) writes directly to the flash chips, this doesn't show or hide the triangle.

ODIN itself doesn't write directly to the flash chips, it says to the bootloader, "hey, here's a kernel, flash it please", the the bootloader checks the kernel signatures (is it original Samsung ?), disables or enables the triangle, and flashes the kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
aha, i see!!!! Many many thanks for the explantion and your efforts Chainfire!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sanik90:
I have a question, I've follow all the step to get rid of pesky triangle, I'm stuck at step 8, after I flash the zImage, the device wont restart, in advance, when I open the CWM, a message appear "different kernel, the various feature disabled", something like that
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayman007:
Fact is the instructions are misleading. If you flash back the Samsung kernel you will indeed get rid of the triangle but you will lose the cwm enabled kernel. So even though the cwm appear is still present most of the options will get you no where since the cwm recovery is gone. If you want to keep the cwm recovery then you either live with the triangle or get yourself a jig. I was just as stuck as you and just broke down and bought a jig for $2 on eBay.

I'm also from Chile and I don´t know which rom to use for rooting.

Do I need KK3 kernel or can I use KK5? Will this brick my phone?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Chainfire:
The instructions aren't misleading, you're just not doing them right (or there's a mistake in there ?)

If you do not have root yet, first you flash the CF-Root kernel, which gives you Superuser and the CWM app. Then you use Odin to flash the original kernel which makes the triangle disappear, then you use Mobile ODIN or the CWM app to re-flash the CF-Root kernel.

Then... you have CF-Root, Root, CWM recovery, CWM app, etc, without the yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayman007:
When I try and use the cwm app to flash back the CF kernel it reboots into recovery mode to do the flash but since cwm recovery is no longer there it ends up in Samsung recovery and the flashing fails. This issue was posted about multiple time and discussed and I was told to just get a jigs as it wasn't possible to remove the triangle and keep CF kernel

You can see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20775476#post20775476 . Seems others were having the same issue. For me it's been resolved since I got a jig and now I don't have to flash back the samsung kernel to remove the triangle.

Before buying the JIG I did follow the instructions step by step and always got stuck as trying to flash back the cf-kernel after flashing the samsung kernel used to make the triangle disappear. Maybe there is another way to flash back the cf kernel without cwm recovery? But Everytime I used the cwm app it tries to access the cwm recovery which is no longer there when using the samsung kernel.

Thanks for you wonderful work here Chainfire

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Did you use flash kernel option, rather than flash zip?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayman007:
I did it just like instructed and I see it says flash kernel so I'm pretty sure that's what I did. That option still requires a reboot into recovery and starts the flash right? Cause mine would reboot into recovery and start to flash and get an error. The issue was that it wasn't CWM recovery but rather samsung recovery.

I might go ahead and try it again just to see if that is where I went wrong..

I do know that when you start the cwm app after flashing the samsung kernel you get a warning about not having a cf kernel installed and several options are disabled.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
OK. Last time I used the cwm app, flash kernel simply rebooted you regularly, without going near recovery.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Please do the following

1. Extract the kernel zip file that you have downloaded, copy the z image file in the root dir of your sd card

2 now flash using the flash kernel option available in cwm app
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayman007:
ok.. so I have used odin to flash back my samsung kernel. Then I placed the zimage for the CF kernel in /sdcard and used the flash kernel option in cwm app

Now the phone reboots into Android System recovery <3e>

and here is where I see the error and cannot proceed with the flashing of the zimage. It almost looks like it worked but it didn't and when I boot back up and open the cwm app it shows that I am not running the cf-kernel. (Current Kernel:Unknown)

Maybe I should make it clear that I have only tried this with CF-4 and CF-4.1 and have yet to try with a 5.0 based kernel.

Just so we are clear.. it specifically says right before rebooting to flash the kernel that it is rebooting into recovery mode. Now correct me if I'm wrong but now that the samsung kernel is there then the CWM recovery is gone and it boots into the stock recovery and this is where I get the error.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Update super user binary and the open cwm app again and see if root permission is getting accepted or not, this time after updating the binary, it would; now do the same steps it would work
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jayman007:
My su binary is updated and cwm is definitely getting root as I see the message come across when I open it. The problem is that it reboots into stock recovery and that is where I get the error. If I try the same exercise with a CF kernel installed then it will reboot into a diff recovery and flash the zimage just fine.

In any case I have a jig so I have no need to flash back to the samsung kernel to remove the triangle and I am happy with the cf-kernel. I was just pointing out that I am not the only one that has this issue and that the instructions on page 1 are a bit misleading as others can't get past step #8 either and are stuck with the original kernel without cwm recovery.

Thank you for trying to help sort it out.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sanik90:
I tried to get rid off yellow triangle, this is my problem

I'm stuck here, because of different kernel, the various feature in CWM has been disabled, there when I flash kernel (zimage in sdcard), the device wont reboot
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] markdj57:
A method that works for removing triangle.

After flashing stock firmware the new samsung boot loader is automatically installed so...

Turn off phone

Go into download mode

Plug USB in

Start Odin

Flash cfroot appropriate to your firmware version

Phones restarts

Disconnect USB

Turn off phone

Go into download mode

Flash old boot loader from Odin

Phone restarts

Turn off phone

Plug USB jig in

Phone powers up into download mode and text says that custom kernel counter has been reset to zero

Remove jig

Hold down power button for 8 seconds

Enjoy
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rinoko72:
Got a jig from ebay:

1. turn off divice

2. plug in Jig, wait a few secound until conter is reset.

3. take out jig, hold power button in until divice is turned off

4. Reboot.

Job done. ;)

whats the different of old bootloader and the new one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Gwystyl:
In the new one there's some kind of protection against using the jig to remove the triangle. I always did the following:

- Flash ROM

- Flash corresponding CF-root

- Flash old bootloader

- Use jig to remove triangle and reset custom ROM counter

- Flash new bootloader

From this point it's possible to use mobile Odin to flash newer roms. That way the triangle won't show up again and you stay rooted
