I am following the wiki instructions to flash an SGH-T679 back to stock firmware using Odin, using the files at the links provided:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G
Prior to this, the only thing I did to the phone was to upgrade to AOSP 4.1.2 using stock recovery, which worked fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081011
However Odin does not seem to be writing anything to either the system or preload partitions when I do this (and now the phone will no longer boot past the splash screen). I have tried both Odin 4.43 and 4.44.

I did notice that the key combination to enter the bootloader changed after I ran Odin: it went from Volume Up + Home + Power to just Volume Up + Power.
I have not attempted to repartition or format the internal memory at any point. I am wondering if perhaps the Ancora.ops in the post above does not match the partition table on my device? Or is there something else I should try?
Thanks in advance!
Solved: the Ancora.ops file in uvlg3.odin.zip on the Wiki page is missing the preload partition. I added "12,preload" to the bottom of the file (per arco's Ancora.ops file found by Google -- can't link to it because I'm new to the forum).

Did you use uvlg3.flash2.stock.zip for firmware from the Wiki page? Coz I didnt find this file on the Wiki page.

Look just a few lines below that on the page, where it says:
FILES NEEDED:
Download Odin (Google it) and the stock factory images: uvlg3.odin.zip
I found the file, but after making firmware I see the next: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Plase select recovery mode in Kies & try again". And there's a mistake: big partition size!!
Where can I find 3-filed firmware for odin?

Your phone issent bricked,i had the same issue.
What worked for me is installing the Broodrom.
Here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396837
Everything you need is posted by Broodplank in his first post.
Once you installed it, you can go back to any rom you would like, altough de Broodrom is a very good rom!!
If you have cwm installed, try to format your partitions first?
Hope this will help you in some way,
How can I flash BroodROM if I couldn't go to CWM at all, I don't see if there is odin flashable package...

Look better, BroodRom can be installed with Odin.

Follow the instructions in Cybertek's post.
I hope I was useful.

I am currently trying to get stock OS back on my Ace using Odin 4.03. I am (or Odin is) failing repeatedly to do this. After pressing Start I see this:

Following other posters' hints I have:
re-downloaded the .rar,
moved the tar.md5 file to a shorter address
changed USB leads/sockets
reformatted the microSD
maybe other things
and nothing has helped [he wept]. What do the lines
Code:
<1> check download environment.
<1> e - big partition size!! '
mean? That might narrow it down a bit.
Is Odin like so many Open projects - totally without any documentation or manuals?
Is there another route that I might usefully take? I don't want to trash it for sentimental and financial reasons.
It just does this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_GfK5DpsZE
I was using ODIN to flash a recovery to it, which I've done before successfully. Screwed up this time though. ODIN cutely claimed success though:

I'll try 1.85, thanks.
I was flashing CWM recovery, you can see the .tar file at the bottom
What I said won't work 1.85 doesn't have that slot I thought u bricked your device
Try flashing full pckg stock rom again.

whenever you see a big partition size in the log that means either the ops file or the odin is not proper
Hi, i have a problem. My phone wont mount everything. I mean i can't flash firmware via Odin or flash custom rom via CWM. I dont know why. I go to CWM>Mounts and storage, and i press mount /data then my phone says "Error mounting /data" ! This problem occurs in all mounts(i mean data,system,sdcard,sd-ext). I hope that somebody understand me.
Also happened to me. Flash stock, then CWM and our should work. I never figured out the reason why it happened, but it's fixed by this.

Try diffrent stock rom and check your gg communicator ;p
I try 3 stock roms and it still dont work.
Try a 4 package 2.2, then flash one package 2.3, then CWM. Finding a 4 package froyo isn't easy, I found it on a random Russian forum.

I have a four package 2.3 it is European xxkp or sth ...
Always use four package when you revert to stock from anything else just to prevent complications ....
