Hi,
I destroyed my /system and CWN didn't work anymore. LOL. I am a noob.
So I have to go through ODIN since download mode works.
the only Firmware I had on my PC was the KP1, I know it's alpha but I thought as it works to start the phone, it's all I want. After that I could flash CF-Root Kernel and all would be fine.
Now my ODIN is hanging since about 45 minutes...
What should I do? I am scared to unplug / turn off.

Or will my phone be bricked when I do it?
Also my PC is kinda unstable because of broken CPU fan, it turns itself of after 2-3 hrs...

Hey buddy,
so first unplug ur phone... maybe u want wait a bit more but...
Just kidding.
So Unplug then take battery off and put back in again.
- Then start downloadmodus (vol -, home and powerbutton)
- Load ur files in Odin again BUT Check "repartition"
- connect to phone and flash again
I see u want to flash ICS... so if u change between firmware version, like u (froyo,ics etc), or want to have a clear system, always check "re-partion".
Much success
CHEERS
EDIT: Which files u have in which case? Sorry that should be clear first
So if re-partition is checked u must use the .pit file also...
Then in PDA u have the file with "CODE" (biggest one)
In Phone the "MODEM"
In CSC the "CSC"
Bootloader u mostly don't need but dunno which introduction u followed...
Dont use pit file and repartition unless you really need to and its your last resort

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to be the last resort
And it's recommend for flashing between new firmwareversions. (not every flash!)
I was trying to do what hannibal said cause one of the cyanogenmod guys said the same to me.
all my phone is showing now, is this:
http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=99000096
so it's bricked, right?

Take off battery and try going in it. (If it works, ur phone isn't bricked)
If it is bricked u have to use an USB JIG, if not we can do something ... I hope

It was not yet the last resort. KP1 is not the right ROM to flash. KP1 is not even a proper alpha release, it's a bug-ridden pre-alpha that might or might not flash right. The right one would have been an earlier version like a KJ3 or KK5 ROM. That would have flashed in without having to tick repartition and without issues.
And no, it is NOT recommended to tick repartition to flash between new firmware versions.
You only need repartition and the pit file if you were changing the file system from Samsung's old RFS to EXT4.
yes i noticed other people post similar threads. but i could not find any answer to my issue, so i post another one. if i missed something, please pointed it out for me by all means.
My SGS2 is with Vodafone Australia.
i already upgraded it to ICS. but i do remember what rom i used when i upgraded it, the Kies cant recognise my phone. So last night, i downloaded another rom and planned to reflash the phone with a stock rom. it turned out all mess!

then i did some research and reckoned i might use the wrong rom, so just finished downloading another version: I9100TDULP9_I9100TVAULP7_I9100TDULP4_HOME.tar
but the issue is exactly same.
i use the rom for PDA, PHONE and CSC, didnt select repartition and not touch PIT either.
the phone is GT-I9100T.
Guys, please help me. i am a noob.
restart pc
kill kies
download the file again preferable from checkfus (builtin curruption check)
put the phone in download mode, connect the cable
put the file in pda.
all the new files i see are one file tar.md5 unless its different fro T
so just put in pda and flash.
edit: do not forget to wipe before nd after for optimal working

well heres all the firmwares for your phone hopefully u may spot the one you had if not just go with the lastest one.
FIRMWARE FOR GT-I9100T
the problem was fixed.
it seems i had to put both odin.exe and odin.ill into one folder (i extracted them on the desktop at first) or i should not load the rom file into PDA, CSC and PHONE. as there was only one file, i only needed to load it in PDA.

yes, it is where i downloaded the roms. i guess the first one i got was wrong, the second should be good. thanks.
but now, i have another issue with Kies. even though i used the "official" voda's rom, Kies still reckon "Your device does not support software update via Kies"
any clue?
Kies should work now that you've flashed the Voda ICS rom, however, for some reason (I have no idea why it doesn't work sometimes, perhaps someone else on here does ?), you'll find Kies still doesn't work even tho the stock rom contains the correct CSC, etc.
You could muck around for ages trying to find a solution to this, or you could simply do what most people on here who have found themselves in your situation do & that is to use Odin to flash future stock rom 'updates'.
Regardless of whether Kies works or not now, you do have the most up to date stock rom available for Voda, so you won't need to flash another stock rom until Voda issue another update (last one before recent ICS was in November).
Get the PC version of Checkfus, and when Voda do issue another update, you'll be able to easily download same & flash it via Odin.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ADVICE! Odin failed for me after several attempts, which scared the crap out of me as it was my first time flashing a ROM on my SGS2...
Since there's only one file in the downloaded ROM, you only need to specify the file in the PDA section!!! That's it so simple... the guides need to be updated!!

I found that sometimes its all in the technique of how you plug things in and the usb used. Try different usb cords. Try different usb ports. and then for some reason what worked for me is have odin open plug usb into computer, and then put the phone into download mode and finally connect the microUSB into the phone. Hope it works, hit back if it does or doesnt

How long did you let it go for on the factoryfs.img?
It could be as simple as changing usb cable. Use the one that came with the phone. Or changing to a different usb port, preferably one directly connected to the mother board.
Beyond that, we would need to know more information about your situation. Why are you flashing stock firmware, from what condition of the phone, etc. Give as much detail as possible.

I have tried it on all usb ports that I have on my laptop.
OK here's exactly what I did to my phone:
I downloaded the ICS version for i777 from sammobile and flashed it using ODIN. Then, I installed Siyah kernel using mobile odin. I then installed triangle away to get rid of the flash counter. I used my phone like this for a couple of days. Then today, I installed the AOKP rom. To do this, I first back up using CWM, then i booted in CWM recovery mode, did a complete wipe, deteled cache and dalvik, and then I proceeded to install the rom. Installation worked fine and everything, however the data wasn't working on my phone. So I then tried to enter the T-Mobile APN settings (it's an unlocked phone), however I couldn't save the APN settings. Tried to enter them multiple times and selected save from the menu, but it just wouldn't show up on the APN list. So, I tried to restore to my back up in CWM restore, however that failed. Admittedly, I should have asked for help at this point. However I was frustrated, so I decided to just use Odin again to flash the ICS stock firmware that I got from sammobile. However, it failed and had some error along the lines of completed writing but operation failed? I tried switching to different USB ports and restarted Odin with run as administrator, but kept getting the same error. On one of these numerous tries, I also tried to check the re-partition option just to see if that would change anything (probably not a very smart idea). Anyways, at some point during these numerous attempts, it got to the point where the phone wouldn't boot up and asked me to connect to samsung kies to restore. I tried that but my phone won't connect with kies. I then found your one-click odin stock firmware thing on these boards and used that. Tried multiple times at different ports, but it keeps getting stuck at factoryfs.img. I have left it in there for a good 30 minutes in this current try (4th). Also, this may or may not be relevant, the flash counter keeps going up.
PS: This is my first android phone so I'm pretty new at this, but I did try to read up a lot before trying anything (well, except for when I randomly checked re-partition that one time).
Edit: Sorry I should have made this clear - even though the phone will not boot, I can still get into download mode.
OK. It seems there is always AOKP in the mix somewhere, and I don't know that firmware at all well, but it seems to make some changes that are hard to fix sometimes.
Can you get into recovery mode at this point? You may still be able to depending on what has happened during the various Odin flashes. Try that and let me know, and if so what recovery do you have?

Thank you for the swift response. No, I am unable to get into recovery mode. It goes to a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
I'm sort of guessing here based on information I've gleaned from various threads. You might try flashing just the siyah ICS kernel in Odin. You can download the tar for siyah 3.4.2 from here. It certainly can't make things worse at this point to try. Let me know.
While I didnt have your issues. I also recently bought an i777, my install went very smooth, everything worked more or less on the first try tried diff cords, ports and then finally it was the plug sequence that did it for me. Upon flashing AOKP, I immediately unlocked the phone via that galaxy S unlocker, I followed the steps to the T and my IMEI is still the same. I am also on tmobile, with working edge. I still have the pesky triangle, but I havent read too many good things about the triangle remover.
Perhaps you have a bad rom download? It might sound silly but flashing AOKP for a friend when I redownloaded the rom, everything worked fine. What the guy above me said, try recovery mode instead and then go from there. Good news is that your phone doesnt sound borked

Don't know. 10 posts?
I don't think the flash with partition checked would have caused a problem. You didn't put a path to a pit file in the pit slot did you?
The full UCKH7 firmware package should flash. Is that what you downloaded from sam firmware? You might try downloading that from the Download Repository (link in my signature) and try flashing it once again. It must be the UCKH7 stock though, because that one has the secondary bootloader and param.lfs file. The UCLE5 does not.

No, I didn't put a pith file. Also just to make sure I'm flashing the right file, is it the one called "I777 UCKH7 stock param.lfs"?
Flash the firmware from the section titled I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries.
You can use either the one-click downloadedr or the tar.md5 file.
Let me know if that flashes.
And also, is that the same file you downloaded from samfirmware? Because that is where this file came from. Or did you download the UCLE5 firmware from samfirmware?

OK I tried it on all the USB ports that I have on my laptop. No luck. Still getting stuck at Sbl.bin. Any more ideas?
Yes. If it were my phone, I would start by flashing the param.lfs by itself and see if that allows it to boot, or makes progress.
If not, then I would flash the sbl.bin by itself and see if that allows it to boot, or makes progress.
If still not, then I would try the full UCKH7 package with the PIT file, and repartition checked.
You can get all the files from the Download Repository. Please bear in mind that there is risk in everything you are doing, (and have been doing.)
I had the latest 4.1.2 stock OTA installed via CWM and I wanted to unroot and go back to stock and that seemed to work fine.... I went to the old version VRALL4 and once rebooted it asked me to update OTA so I did and that was fine........ and it asked me to do it again for some reason and now I'm in a boot loop. The Galaxy note 2 logo flashes on the screen real fast and turns off over and over. I can only get into ODIN and not stock recovery. I've tried re-flashing the original odin package, and the pre-rooted odin packages and nothing is working.... what can I do? am i fux0rd? thx
edit: also USB all drivers are installed .......
Try a factory reset in the stock recovery. Then give it a whirl.

Checkout this thread by Adam Outler called "DON'T ACCEPT OTA UPDATES" in the Verizon Galaxy Note II General section. I'm aware that you aren't experiencing this specific problem, but it should fix your boot loop problem. You'll need the two files that he makes available just below the picture. I've had others tell me that they used those files to successfully fix boot loops.

I can only get into odin... not even stock recovery. the odin app doesn't even work most of the time....
If i hold vol up + power + home it just continues to boot loop flashing the note 2 logo....... downloading one more odin file to see if this can fix it..... :crying:
I knew I should have used triangle away before doing this as if I take it to the VZ store they're going to be able to tell that it'd been modified before....
The lesson you should learn from this is DO NOT ACCEPT OTAS! Not sure how you haven't understood that since it has been stated more than enough times in almost every thread.

First of all, I'm not a noob and I did get the system back up.... as I said above i was trying to UNROOT not ROOT my device using Odin which I have done many times. This is the first time I've ran into the boot loop issue.... so I flashed a stock unrooted odin tar.md5 and this is the issue that I had.... now when I did that, I thought I was unrooted but obviously the bootloader did not get flashed back to stock... anyways thanks for your oh so useful post in lumping me in with the n00bz... :laugh:
anyways
now im facing another issue where its still has the rooted bootloader installed but an "official" stock rom on it.....
I'm not saying you're a noob. All I'm trying to get you to understand is to read before doing. As with your unlocked bootloader issue, you probably overlooked that there are 2 ways to restore to stock. One re locks the bootloader and the other doesn't. Read more and don't skim the guide, that's all I'm saying my dude.

thats what Ive been trying to find for ages and I've downloaded 4 or 5 different "stock" odin packages which puts me back to the original 4.1.1 I506VRALJB version....
So I'm trying to find the ODIN package that wipes everything (bootloader esp)....... thanks..... and with goo.im having so many issues its really tough finding all the files I need.
....hmmmmmmm so I updated superSU and unchecked a box that "hides" root - but if I accept another OTA i'm sure I'll be stuck with another boot loop until I really flash the unlocked bootloader with the OEM one right?
DO NOT ACCEPT OTAS! Lol. I forgot which thread had the right file. I'll look around and try to find it. Which files from which threads have you tried?

Tried this one which puts me on the original oem rom that came with the phone w/ no updates....
The only way I was able to get out of the boot loop is use the PIT file and this file root66_VZW_stock_system.tar.md5
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-note-2-sch-i605/
Here is where I Found the "pre-rooted" file... I put that in the bootloader section of ODIN along with the PIT file and this fixed my boot loop problem.
so even tho ODIN mode says "official" and not custom - this is bc I disabled root thru superSU even though its still rooted..

I think this is the baseline unrooted baseband......trying it out.

Here is where I Found the "pre-rooted" file... I put that in the bootloader section of ODIN along with the PIT file and this fixed my boot loop problem.
so even tho ODIN mode says "official" and not custom - this is bc I disabled root thru superSU even though its still rooted..

I would advise you to stay away from guides that are not on xda. Just because there is more knowledge here.

Just showing where I Got the file to recover from boot loop.... that guide isnt even for the right phone model...... read back as I added a bunch to my last post.
Trying to flash with the below file in the "phone" section so that it wipes the entire phone but it fails.... I've also removed superSU by using the option to "unroot" inside SuperSU..... whats going on? I have the PIT File in place, "phone bootloader update" checked or unchecked doesn't seem to matter..... and same for Phone EFS Clear......

This is the exact problem I have.....
From what I am understanding you can't write boot on Vrall4. So you would need to be on vraljb before being able to re lock the bootloader. I'm my head it makes sense but not sure how you need to go about it. I only looked at it real quick and I can't look into it right now. I'll check with you later and see what you have figured out. So post anything that you come across.
finally resolved it by erasing nand and flashing root66, then factory reset, then flashing one without the sboot.bin......
it took so many times - i dont think ive ever flashed this phone this many times before....... ugh what a pIta.... never rooting this phone again as its so freakin tempermental.
Or just don't unroot it. Problem solved??

please instruct me on all steps u took... where did u put the files and what u checked and what not.. i have the same exact problem except it gets stuck at Logo... i cannot go into recovery as well.
i have tried all the same files as u and all fail except root66 but it stays stuck on logo
as far as I can remember, take odin, put the pit file in the pit location in odin:
http://d-h.st/mKu
Then flash with root66...
http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390210501348163619
then see if u can get into stock recovery and do a factory reset and then go back into odin mode.... then tick nand erase and then use the alternate restore and put it in the phone section of the ODIN app and flash it....... of course this doesnt have the sboot but this was the only way i was able to get it back up....
if u are able to get the phone back up with root66, then stop there..... erasing the nand and not doing it right can brick it. i spent 2 days fixing mine and I must have tried flashing the phone at least 25 times... when I got root66 up and running I went into SuperSU app and went into settings and theres an option to remove or hide root. this may have helped. right now im finally on the latest OTA and it says official (not custom rom) in odin mode and in the about phone section. Hope this helps.
keep the back cover off the phone bc you'll be pulling the battery out if it gets stuck... good luck. FYI I always use the PIT file and that always seemed to have helped.

ah man... i can get PASS! on root66 but it still gets stuck at logo.. anything else i flash will just fail at boot.img nand write... think im just f*ck'ed dude..
my thread is here if anything... thank you !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296441
Best bet is to erase nand and try flashing with the alternative rom and pit file at the same time...tomorrow I'll post the files I used as most mirrors are slow as balls..

I had a S2 i777, then I got a S3 so I gave the S2 to my mother. I just installed fresh ShoStock because I thought that would work well. It worked ok, but after about a month I came home and she said it wasnt working.
It appeared to be bootlooping at the ShoStock logo. I downloaded a new rom for it on my phone the put the SD card in her phone, booted into clockwork and tried flashing it. Trying to wipe or flash at all results in hanging for a few minutes then rebooting and getting stuck at the Samsung S2 logo now. Since then I've tried various odin methods for flashing to unbrick around xda. Every time I try to flash with odin, it either says error or it just hangs until I manually stop it after 30+ minutes. I've even got as desperate as to have Kies revert it to stock, it also hangs at 2%.
At this moment, you can see the screen its stuck it in the attached screenshot, its probably worth noting its been at this screen ever since the first Odin flash failed.
I do have a microUSB jig so I can kick it into download mode if I have to. Anyone got any ideas :f
Try the following procedure exactly as written. In case the problem is nand read/write corruption, this should clear it and get the phone working again.
1) Go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
2) Successful? Nice. Next, flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
When I try and flash Siyah in Odin for step 1, it just hangs.

The box at the top says kernel and the progress bar goes all the way across, it will never get past this.
Since it won't flash the kernel, the next thing to suspect and try to find out if the cable is faulty. Or anything in the path from the computer to the phone. So...
Try a different cable, or as many different cables as you can put your hands on.
Try different ports on the computer, and use the ones attached directly to the motherboard if it is a desktop.
Try a different computer.
In some cases where there is a connection problem, just flashing repeatedly may eventually result in a pass, as some have reported.
Tried it on two different laptops, with three different microUSB cables on each, no dice.
I tried flashing the kernel from step one you gave, I also tried the I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click from the Download Repository and it hangs at:

I don't have any additional suggestions for trying to fix it yourself. The problem could be one of several things. It doesn't seem like a simple soft brick. Maybe it could be damaged memory or some other hardware failure. Or maybe not.
If you are close to an AT&T service center, maybe you could take it by and ask them to flash it back to stock for you. If that fails, then at least you are pretty sure the problem is in the phone, not the connection. I realize it is not under warranty any longer, but they should at least try that for you.
You could send it to Samsung repair center to be worked on. They would probably fix it, but it won't be free, and it will also take two to three weeks. If it were me, I would call them first and discuss the issue with them.
Give these guys a call or message them and tell them your problem and they can most likely fix it. I have had work done by them in the past there quick and there professional...
