Well i was going to install a custom rom on my samsung galaxy sii sgh-i777. i placed the 2 zip files on the sd card. I was rebooting in clockworkmod and my phone fell and the battery was knocked lose. the phone lost power and when i tried to turn it back on it would show the "rooted" home screed sgh i-9000 i think? and then dimly flicker a couple of time after that screen like it was trying to load but couldnt. i can open odin mode only while connected to computer? i cant access the drives at all. anyone have any suggestions? anything would be great! Thank you!
So you can't get into recovery while holding volume up+ volume down + power? If not, try pulling the battery while the charging cable is plugged in, leaving it out for like 10 second then putting it back in and trying recovery again. If you can't get into recovery, you'll have to Odin back to something. Have you tried getting into download mode, just tho see if you can? Plug the phone into the USB port of computer, and hold the same buttons you normally would to get into recovery.

First are you sure you have an i777 and NOT an i727 skyrocket? Did the ROM flash and then you rebooted or you were just "rebooting in clockworkmod" If the ROM flashed are you sure you flashed an i777 ROM and not an i9100 ROM? Or did it stop in the middle of the flash? Where did you get the ROM from? I have a feeling you were on galxaysIIroot? More info I hope you can get some help here! GL

Its not finding a page for this link. ^
I have no idea what page that was supposed to be, but page ids are 8 digits, not 4
Anyway, you can use one of my guides for instructions on how to flash with odin. If you want to move toward custom firmware again, use the first one in the list in my signature.
Sorry ripture, not sure how/what happened with the link, but you're in better hands now with creepyncrawly's guides.
I had the same issue though it did not happen the same way. you have to go into download mode and use Odin to unroot and then root again. I'm not sure if u need to unroot but that's the way that I did it and everything works fine now. if you need help on how to do it just pm me.

Tried to flash CM7 on my s2 and after selecting reboot in the cwm menu, the phone won't go past the samsung galaxy s2 logo. The phone won't go into download or recovery mode using button combo press. I've also tried the one-click unbrick tool, which simply fails.
Not sure what do here.
Download mode should work :/

Thanks man. Just tried that
It seems that odin will not detect my phone. I'm reinstalling the samsung usb drivers to see if that helps.
I am happy that I am at least able to get the phone into odin download mode. So not all hope is lost I would think.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm downloading the android SDK to get to try ABD right now to see if I can connect that way.
Sometimes Odin is picky, and wants to be opened first. Then enter download mode.

Not a problem! Almost impossible to hard brick this phone. And even if you somehow manage to do that, there are ways to get it out (Depending on what you did). So rest assured, and also get use to battery pulls

And I'm back to stock Now it's off to try to CM7 on there once more. Lesson here is that you need to double flash cm7 before rebooting.

Should've been able to get into CWM to do a second flash even if you accidentally rebooted.
Sometimes CWM from a boot-hung device can be tricky, the following should work:
Hold VolUp + VolDn + Power until the device restarts (will be around 12-15 seconds for the long-hold-power reset)
Once the Samsung screen reappears, let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appears
Basically what the title says, flashed phone bricker and everything went great. Rebooted my phone to go into CWM because it still had some issues and I just wanted to go back to 2.3.6 for now. The phone froze and now I cant get into CWM or even download mode. What can I do???
...
And so it begins...
If you cant get into recovery using the key combo, use a jig.
More details, when I plug in the phone in an off state, a battery shows up on screen but the ring is not spinning.
Did you read the name of my Rom?
Its meant to brick your phone.
So what steps did you take to flash...
adb can work too
Sometimes you can do an 'adb reboot bootloader' to get the phone to boot normally too.
Just wiped/factory reset and installed it with Clockwork to install. This started happening after a reboot.

Hey Red5, I just flashed the new I777 leak and odin flashed red/failed while it was at the SBL.bin part.
What does that mean? My phone doesn't work now.
You see I have 4 posts, so I'm obviously new at it. You act like you never flashed something wrong when you started or anything.

2nd. To get into download mode have your phone powered off and hold both volume keys, while your holding them down plug in usb...should go into download.
Still just getting the frozen battery charging screen
EDIT: Son of a *****, I was in a USB 3.0 port that didn't provide enough power. Plugged it into a USB 2.0 and it booted right into download mode. Sorry guys, you're all aawesome

I was trying to put a rom of ics but i believe that the firmware was wrong for my phone. please help me.
Sounds like you flashed something in Odin that was not for your phone. You probably need to get it J-tagged to get it fixed. Check out mobiletechvideos.com
It's like $50 dollars for the service, they'll J-tag your phone and flash the correct bootloader.

Since the phone will turn on, and initiate the boot process, it should be able to recover it yourself. Jtag is for true hard bricks, which your phone is NOT.
Please give a full description of what led up to your problem. What firmware was on the phone before, what did you attempt to flash, and anything that you can think of that would provide any additional information for trouble shooting. Also, a link to the firmware you tried to flash.

I put my i777 on download mode by removing the battery and putting it back. Hold the volume button down and connect the USB charger wait for the buttons to flash and disconnect the charger while holding the volume down button. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
If the above works to get into download mode, do the following:
Download the I777 secondary bootloader .tar from the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Unplug the phone (to shut off)
Open Odin v1.85 on screen of pc.
Enter download mode as above.
When connected put the secondary bootloader in the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

I just recently got my SGS2 (i777) and decided to root it. Unfortunately I got the root from another site (dumb move) and today the phone went into a reboot loop. I can connect it and get it into download mode, but everytime I try to flash back to the stock rom, or anything else (bootloader) Odin says connection failed, unable to open COM Port. I know it connects because it installs the drivers for the phone. Can someone MUCH smarter that me assist with this one?

can you interrupt the bootloop by trying to get to recovery (holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER until recovery menu appears) and then go to backup-restore and restore a backup? That's what I would try. IF that does not work, I would reinstall the drivers for andoid on your pc --even though you had them working (presumably) once before. After reinstalling the drivers then odin should (may!) see the phone and work.
good luck
So I have been trying to figure this out and I am sure I could if I had more time. I have an ATT SGS2. I first got it with GB and then rooted it and flashed CM9, then to CM10. After wanting to change things up I went and tried to flash miui but it didnt seem to work and slightly bricked my phone. I then went back to stock firmware but it was for the International version (UK) and came with 4.0.4. Now from there I wanted to re root the phone and attempt the miui rom again but I cant get into download mode. I know that you would have to also hold down the home button but I only have touch buttons so I am thinking thats what the issue is. Can anyone help me out here I wouldnt have posted this but I am in the middle of packing to move across the country so any and all help would be very very appreciated.

Did you actually flash a different bootloader? If not, it should still work. To get to download mode, use "adb reboot download"
Also, to root, you could probably just use ExynosAbuse.

I am confused because it wont go into download mode. my back and search button dont work either if that helps.
Recovery-hold volume up,volume down, power button until you boot into recovery. Download mode- same key combo, but with it plugged into the computer. Your back and search buttons don't work because you flashed the i9100 firmware.
The I-9100 package you flashed evidently contained the secondary bootloader, which changes the button configuration for download mode. If Phalanx's button combo for download mode doesn't work, try pulling the battery and leave it out, then hold the vol- button and plug in the usb cable that is connected to your computer. The computer will supply the power, and that should put you into download mode.
Once in download mode, go to the download repository - link in my sig - and flash one of the stock packages that contains bootloaders, or just flash the UCKH7 bootloader by itself.

The You need to change the kernel to one compatible with the I-777. It would be best to change the system as well. I would suggest that you find the I-777 firmware you would like to try from the development forums in this section, and flash that.
Yeh creepys right. It you absolutely want to stay on that firmware flash ajk kernel it will fix your back and search buttons. As always, read instructions on flashing before doing so in that thread in development section. Good luck,happy flashing.
Hi guys.
Last night i was trying to help a mate root and flash a rom on his 7500, and for some reason booting into recovery/download mode seems impossible.
Tried every button combo, unless it's not the power button alone nothing happens.
Tried using adb to reboot into recovery and the bootloader, but all it did was turn the device off.
Has anyone ever encountered something like this?

i would just odin a new recovery on it. That way u know u have a working recovery to boot to. Dont forget to check the md5 of the recovery zip before u flash it.
Could you point me to an odin guide? This would be the first time i play around with a samsung device.
Plus all the ones i managed to find with my google-fu seem to have the required files missing, due to their age

Here is a Link to my Q&A thread. It has odin and an older cwm recovery tar that will work for the 7500...even though i say in the thread,7510 only.
Just use the odin in the zip and the recovery..not sure if the root zip will work. After u have the recovery on and boot the tab up. Go get new verion of twrp recovery for the 7500 and flash via recovery. When you reboot,it will ask to install root. Go ahead and let it.
Wait, but how am i to use odin if i can't reach download mode?

Try running the battery all the way dead and leave it for a day or two..then charge it all the way up and try again.
