Just when I thought it was safe to go into the water!

I tried yesterday to install 12.1 and it failed, so i factory reset. Is there any reason i should still have to use datatool backup? theres nothing really to backup

Wow this is frustrating. The SamsungPST gets stuck on SetupConnection just like ODIN did. Tried uninstalling everything. Deleting and re-installing drivers. Same outcome.

Sounds like your phone is haunted. I recommend an exorcism.


On a more helpful note, are you on xp?

I'm in the process of installing XP on my external hard drive. Hopefully all works after that

yeah, that probably the issue. good luck!

XP was always the issue for me. When I do ANYTHING to the Moment on my XP machine it works flawlessly and fast.

Kept getting stuck in the same place on XP. Then i closed the PCStudio monitor and it started immediately with no issue.

Yeah, you shouldn't have the Samsung PC Studio open when using ODIN. That's why I said it had to be installed but never said to open it. You are really only installign it for the correct USB drivers for your Moment and ODIN to play nicely.
