My Samsung Galaxy Gio was in trouble - the camera suddenly stopped working. Or rather, the application itself launched perfectly and the image was displayed on the screen, but when I tried to shoot something, I received complete ignore from the device. Reboot and complete shutdown, there was no success with removing the battery...
I did not put up with this state of affairs and it was decided to fix the obstinate smartphone. (and for good reason... I needed this feature the next day...)
Let's get started... there are two ways to flash the firmware Samsung smartphone: through a proprietary program Samsung Kies, which allows you to update exclusively official firmware and through a special flashing program Odin.
To be honest, I flashed it twice in total and initially did it through Kies. Not once did the firmware update via Kies go smoothly. And if for the first time after the firmware, the phone was able to be revived using Kies, then in the case described above, a device was received that was not recognized by Kies, and therefore completely not working. The situation was saved by firmware via Odin.
First, let's decide what we need:
Firmware via Odin
In the task manager, you need to kill all processes that have kies in their name ( KiesPDLR.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe), it is also useful to disable the firewall and antivirus while installing the firmware.
In Windows Vista, Windows 7 - Odin must be run as or with administrator rights.
ATTENTION! The firmware process takes place with several overloads of the smartphone. You CANNOT turn off your smartphone at this time..
After the button appears on the phone screen Ready By pressing it, wait for the firmware process to finish (PASS sign in Odin).
