Samsung i8510 INNOV8 User Forums

I'm attempting to flash my Samsung to new firmware. Everything was working fine until it got to the PDA download, where apollo immediately says "1/8 downloading 100%" and then stops on that. I have tried versions 6.05 and 6.10 of apollo with the same results. I have enclosed a screenshot of this.

My phone is now stuck in a restarting cycle. The logo appears for about 10 seconds before it restarts. This continues until the battery is removed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm really hoping that I haven't totally killed my phone.

I don't know if it helps, but unclick "bootloader" options and install only PDA part ... Maybe it will help

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work. Same result as before besides saying 1/7 instead of 1/8. Any other ideas? I'm assuming the firmware that was on there originally has now been wiped so I can't simply reset it.

ok, another suggestion, try another firmware, maybe is only wrong some of files ... (and keep that order of downloading )

I've tried four different firmwares now, all with the same result. By "keep that order of downloading" do you mean just having bootloader unchecked? Thanks for the all the help.

[Bobsik]

yes, bootloader unchecked and only PDA download ... there could be problem also in drivers ..

Thanks finally got it working again, and with updated firmware
It worked successfully on a vista computer after failing on both xp and windows 7 machines. Probably won't be flashing again any time soon
