mine is i9100g.

i downloaded odin 1.85, downloaded kies, superoneclick, and a XWKDD insecure.

i went into the download mode, and odin detects my device. so i click on "PDA" tick the box and enter the XWKDD.tar file

and then its just hang like that. it supposed to reboot, but it doesn't. it stuck on the yellow triangle screen. i tried taking off the battery, and turn it back on, its still on yellow triangle screen.

my gingerbread is 2.3.5 and on the DZKI1

so basically what do i need to do now is to open odin?
but as far as i know, a yellow box will appear if odin detects your device. when i open odin (i havent downloaded the firmware and the pit file) there is no yellow box

guys, i downloaded the official DZKI1 firmware.

the thing is, my phone can't even enter download mode, or recovery mode. when i pull out the battery, and put it back in, it went straight to the yellow triangle.

if i cannot enter download mode or recovery mode how can i operate odin?
