It's okay. At this point I only have to ask a question that may be simple for you, but will take me hours of reading. Why am I not flashing a bootloader since I'm stuck in a bootloop, just to get it on or in recovery mode to wipe the cache? Does it not work like that? Then I'm done trying...

I thank you both very much for your valiant effort in helping me!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5.. <OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable.. <OSM> Please wait.. <OSM> KIES_HOME_SPH-D710.GB27_D710SPRLS1_1014481_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid. <OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully.. <OSM> Leave CS.. <ID:0/005> Added!! <ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)...

yes, different ports,and yes, different cables. I have a new Dell laptop I'm using running windows 8. I redownloaded Samsung mobile drivers and the version Odin 3.7 just to see if there was any luck. It is a little different. I see it is trying at least. Sometimes when I plug the phone in...

ok, i've open with run as admin in odin and tried again with that newest latest link which turned into KIES_HOME_SPH-D710.GB27_D710SPRLS1_1014481_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and it gave me another fail, but this time a REASON. It states can't open the serial(COM) port. EDIT: now i've clicked...

I was running it with Odin (I don't understand the as the administrator part... I opened Odin, selected the file for the PDA box, connected phone, saw connection, hit start and then watched for FAIL), unless it was an exe file and then it was opening and running in Odinexcuter 1.18. I don't...

I've got to be doing something wrong... I never made any changes other than sprint updates, so i should be using the unrooted versions, not the rooted, right?

nope, nothing is working. what am i doing wrong? i think i'm giving up. I'll check back in case anyone has a solution to getting data off a phone when it's frozen on startup and only will go into download mode.

ok, but that still is an exe file which opens in that other odin program and won't let me find it for the Odin 3.09. Every file i have downloaded and attmepted is giving me either a warning to my computer to not open it, a stuck odin process in odin 1 or a fail in odin 3. So irritating. I...

I'm not getting any of the JB, unrooted, no data restore, files to work either in Odin v 3.09 or in the 1.18 that pops up when you download an exe file and try and run in. It won't let me pull up any of the exe files in Odin 3.09, so I'm not sure. Should I be trying a full restore yet?

The message I got with the gingerbread was FAIL, not sucessful. No other message really. I think the jelly bean one is the same or better, but have no idea at all. I just got back from my day and it's still in the same place... stuck at factoryfs.img and gone no further in the green box. Now...

so i called sprint to find out i was last running jelly bean and then downloaded an exe for that. it opened and started running, but it has been on a milimeter of green in the bar for over an hour now. Is that normal?

i had an odin FAIL. any suggestions?

ok.. here goes! i'm getting the .tar.... from everything I'm reading though, I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose all data. I'm still hopeful though.

Am i flashing a boot.img Kernel, a zImage Kernel, a Zip, a Tar.md5 or an ODIN One-Click.exe?
