Guys please help me here. I tried my search friend first. I tried to root my son's G2 and I seem to have really screwed up. I have to use my dongle thing I bought for my Note to get into Download mode. I was trying re-install the factory ROM with Odin after I used the wrong root ROM.
Odin's errors are:
File analysis
SetupConnection
Initialization
Get PIT for mapping
Firmware update start
boot.img
NAND Write Start
Complete (Write) operation failed
All threads completed suceed 0 / failed 1
Is this fixable? My son is going to heartbroken

I think it's possible to flash the original bootloaders, have you tried that first yet? Also, does the phone not go into download mode without the jig?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
No it won't go into download mode anymore with the buttons, It wants to try to do a software recovery through Kies but they won't connect. I have to take the battery out now to get it to turn off.
First thing is, is your phone an SGH-I777 (ATT)? And what did you use to root? Was it a method from this site?
Edit: I'm at work so may not be able to respond back for a while but these are questions that will help anyone else trying to help you

Well, if it is an i777 and you really did flash bootloaders not meant for it, the obvious thing to do would be to try and flash the original bootloaders through Odin, before flashing a ROM.

Is that right about the Jig? I got the idea to buy from here?
First, confirm that you have the SGH-I777 model, not the 727 model. Using this firmware on the 727 will hard brick it.
Go to the Download Repository and flash the one-click downloader under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries.
This full package contains the bootloaders and should recover the phone. If you have problems, post here and I'll try to help.

It just bugs me that I can do just about anything to my Note and it has been so easy, but I screw up one time on a Galaxy 2.

If you try to do a warranty exchange thru t-mobile and after you send your phone back they discover it is rooted, you WILL be charged for the replacement. Your best bet is to report it lost to assurion and file a claim for a replacement. Although you will have to pay a deductible

Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

How do you know what you flashed didn't have bootloaders? So your saying with the phone powered off holding volume + volume - keys, with the USB cable plugged in to your computer and then inserting the mini USB into the phone wont put you in to DL mode? I checked the button config for the i897 and that is it and on the i777 too....The USB jig should force the phone in to download mode then you can flash back to stock!

what about usb jig? will it work? or do i have to do a jtag hard unbrick??
If there is no sign of life it is probably hard bricked.
If there is any sign of life, then there might be some hope.
If you can get your hands on a jig, it would be worth a try to see if it will come to life.

Triangle Away only works with ICS and above. The only way to reset the flash counter on Gingerbread is with a USB jig. You can remove the yellow triangle boot screen by flashing a stock kernel, but it will not reset the flash counter. See the links in my signature, especially the last one.

I flashed mine with captivating m3, after I used triangle away and it worked. Why don't you just give it a try, it might work for you also

The bootloader of a phone is like a life support system. I try not to play with things that could kill my phone.
Thanks for the help though.

Yes, the application performs file operations on the bootloader. And yes, the OP of the thread does not list the SGH-I777 as a supported phone. I felt the same caution as you at one point, and even posted a thread about it.
However, very respected Elite Recognized Developer Entropy512, who was one of the first developers active on this phone with his awesome kernel development, says that Triangle Away is safe for our phones. Please read through the whole thread, but in particular, read Entropy512's post #23.
Honestly, just use it. Your phone will be fine, and it is so much easier than building a jig, or even buying a jig.
You want me to take the word of one of the people who has done more for this phones development than most others???! Pfffft. Lol seriously people wouldn't be telling you to use it if it would brick your phone man. We aren't that cruel
Then why does the app say my phone is unsupported? I trust you, but, does it 100% work on shostock 3?
Do I need to use odin to flash?

Flash the param.tar file.
And I do understand, thank you very much.

You don't need to flash anything for triangle away. So no you obviously don't.

It works on this phone by virtue of the fact that it was written specifically for the Exynos processor bootloader, and this phone has the same Exynos processor as the GT-I9100 that it was originally written for.
The app, or more accurately the xda thread about the app by Chainfire, does not say this phone is supported because he didn't test it directly, or get someone to test it for him.
If you trust me 100%, you wouldn't have written this post.
But it isn't me you need to trust. We all trust Entropy512.

What ever gave you the idea that you would have to flash the param.lfs file. What I think you don't understand is that the warning screen with the yellow triangle is built into the phone's firmware. When Samsung made the firmware for the I777, they were just lazy and didn't update the warning screen, but just used the one from the I9100. This is entirely separate from, and not connected in any way with, the param.lfs file.
If you really don't want to use Triangle Away, just flash a stock kernel with Odin, and then without booting into the system, flash the custom kernel back onto the phone using mobile odin. For SHOstock3, that would be the Jebo kernel which you can get from the second post in the SHOstock3 thread. That yellow warning triangle boot screen will magically go away.

Thanks for trolling. You really make this thread a place where people can openly insult eachother.
Yes, there is still adb, or using a command line tool. But let me make this clear: IF YOU ARE REFERING TO THE TRIANGLE AWAY APP, IT DOES NOT RUN ON MY I777!
Here is some stuff ive been doing for another phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201341

@andronald,
I feel your fear and frustration, there are two things I need to say.
Firstly, you're lucky enough to get and continuously getting support and answer from those guys. Most of the time, when people asks, they provide answer and if she or he still doesn't believe it or follow what they said, they will walk away and couldn't care to provide another detail. In your case, more than one people assure you the app is safe and if you don't believe them, that's your choice.
Secondly, if you fear of bricking your phone, then I suggest don't do anything, just live with it. The triangle surely annoyance but if you can ignore it, you will be fine. Now think this way, a) you live with it and it can last for 2 or 3 years or b) flash it and instantly hard-brick it and trash. Make your choice.
Oh, actually you have another choice, buy a jig which costs less than a buck.
If you just want to get rid of the triangle, i did this yesterday. I did a nandroid backup of my shostock install. (Wipe data/factory reset from the shostock kernal after done with nandorid)
Then i installed the tar package (not the one click) following the odin instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236727 (Your triangle should dissappear at this point)
Next install mobile odin and flash siyah recovery (the tar version) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367800 using mobile odin. Now you will have a recovery with CWM again, and this allows you to restore your nandroid backup.
You should not have the triangle anymore and everything should be okay to go.
NOTE: Only use the CWM from the phone to flash things from now on and you wont have the triangle appear anymore.

I'm not trolling I'm trying to keep you from messing up your phone. But go on flash that param.lfs file and if you brick your phone don't expect any help from us.

This is likely operator error.
Oh wait... you're a developer?
Never mind.
