+1 on this.
A factory wipe/reset from the standard 3e recovery did it for me. I found no other way.

Then flash a firmware with Odin you know how to root. Or better yet flash entropy512's stock plus root package.
By the way you should be able to get into recovery by holding down volume up + volume down + power button - do not let go off any buttons until you see the recovery menu - the bout splash screen will flash at least twice before recovery comes up.

I cant seem to boot into recovery by holding both volume buttons and pressing power. I can get into it with "adb reboot recovery", or with quick boot or rom manager (but i current dont have root, so thats not an option).
But when i just try to turn the phone off and boot into recovery manually it just boots into android every time.
Try holding all three buttons until the sammy logo appears. Then release power button only.
Edit: Also try volume up ( or down...can't remember) , power, and home soft key.
And you prolly shoulda posted this in q&a section bud. Try to keep the forums clean and less cluttered.

Im at stock right now, no root at all. I had a semi-brick and had to odin stock DI01 all in one and then use the OTA to go to ea28. I then used odin to flash the DL05/DL09 recovery file. but i dont have root so i cant boot to recovery from the OS and i cant just manually go into it (at least it hasnt worked so far). The only way i can get into recovery is to issue "adb reboot recovery", but the OS has to be booted to use adb, and from my understanding you cant go into the OS before flashing the update zip. When i tried it failed about halfway through.
There is a all in one pack for odin on adroidcentral.com that has the corrwct clockwork recovery, is prerooted, and is froyo with superclean. Id go with that bud.

That'll work.
See, you aren't supposed to have the battery in when you use Odin anyways, that way, when it is done flashing, your phone just powers off making it easy to slap in the battery and do the three-finger into cwm at first boot.

make sure you unplug the phone before you put the battery in. if not, it'll just boot as normal.
There is no ED01 radio that we have available, so I'd be wary of whatever radio file you're flashing. Also, Odin 1.7 doesn't always work properly, try using version 1.3.

Side note on this, is there any practical barrier to bundling a kernel with a recovery Odin?
I noticed in the kernel packages that they generally modify /system when they install. So perhaps you would have to odin over data also to run in a script to complete the kernel install at boot. Meh, it would just be nice if installing recovery didn't require immediately wiping kernel and then odining recovery again.
I figured a compromise would be to CWM recovery with the kernel in the same step, then I noted I was just being lazy and it really isn't much trouble to go through once per factory restore.

I would download a CWM Odin file and one of the two odin files from here. Flash one of the two (doesn't matter which you do first) and once it completes, unplug the phone, and then plug it back in holding volume down to get back into recovery and flash the other file. You'll then have a stock kernel that won't re-flash recovery, so if you boot normally, it won't matter. You can also download Odin 1.3 from here

It sounds like your phone is still half functioning. Try booting into recovery,
With the phone off hold down both volume keys and power button until you see the first screen, then let go of the power button.
If it's stock recovery you'll be able to do a factory restore(wipe). If CWM choose wipe data factory reset.
After rebooting it might work.
Worst case you can put it back in download mode and try odin again.

If you can't get it into download mode you may have serious issues.
Might need to build a usb jig or buy one.
Contemplate a return.
If you tried everything, and I mean everything to get it into download mode, i.e. jig, "adb reboot", then neither can they. Can't see anything you did.

You never did tell us what KIES has to do with ROOTING ?
I would definitely flash back to stock. Stock will never further mess it up. Not to mention there is the stock rom that's prerooted. By using that one you won't get a yellow triangle on boot. Nor will the counter go up from changing the kernel.

At least you got download mode working. With that working there should be no issue about fixing your phone.
Just keep in mind depending on if "everything flashed from the international version you possibly will also need to flash the right modem.
I wouldn't worry about that until you got the phone up and working.
It's best to keep each step as simple as possible, especially for the first time you're trying it.

Not good. I wish I could offer more help. At least it didn't stop at flashing the bootloaders.
There's not too much you can do at this point. You can try waiting seeing if it changes.
You can hope if you do unplug it that you can get it back into download mode. Then try odin again. Though I'd make sure the checksum of the download matches up to make sure it downloaded properly.
No one wants to be the one to say unplug it in the middle of an odin procedure, but if no progress is being made after a reasonable amount of time, there's not much left to do.

Hi,
To preface this, I have never posted on a forum before as I have always been able to find people with similar problems. However, this time I am stuck.
I had my I777 rooted and running the Task650 aokp JB rom. Everything was working great. Then I decided to get greedy and tried to dual boot an ICS rom in order to get MHL capabilities. (Shostock ICS) I used this thread as a guide. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890274) I did not realize that it was for the Note 2, not the S2...
However, I think I still could have gotten myself out of trouble if my phone had not run out of power during installation. The phone abruptly shut off, and when it came back on, the Samsung logo appeared for a second before slowly fading out to a distorted white screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, it only shows the white screen when it is plugged in, and my computer will not recognize it. (I should note that computer never recognized it when it was running jelly bean, but I never bothered to fix it.)
I took the battery out overnight and tried it in the morning. no change. I left it plugged in all day, this caused it to get very hot and I quickly unplugged it.
I have posted a YouTube video that briefly shows the boot loop and the white screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEuR3qn9Grs&feature=youtu.be
The most recent fix I have tried was ADB Portable, but my computer did not recognize the phone.
I'm out of ideas and desperate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

Ok, thanks. Just ordered a jig. Will update when it gets here. Does it matter if the stock firmware is GB or ICS? I cant remember what it had on it before I flashed the JB rom.
Doesn't matter...GB or ICS. Whichever u want to choose.
Just don't do a wipe data/factory reset on the ICS firmware i777ucle5 with the stock le5 kernel, because of the potential eMMC brick bug. See the stock firmware threads for more info. And yep, keep us posted on what happens.
