Wont boot, probably softbricked - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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...

Did you by chance check repartition? If so I think you may be in trouble.
Nope, i checked like 4 times before i clicked start, and i can see it now,
I didnt ticked Repartition...

Okay well there may be hope. Pull the battery and then use the button combo to see if you can get to download mode if you can then I suggest you restart your PC and make sure your using a UBS connection that is on the back of your PC, do not use any USB hubs or front usb connections. Also make sure kies in not running in the back round as it can interfere with the USB connections.
I made a backup with Cwk so i hope nothing will go wrong...
I pulled the battery, and i got to download mode, but odin doesnt seem
to recognize the phone...
Edit: i just noticed on processes, that kies Was running...
but Odin doesnt recognize the phone now...

Well as long as you can get to download mode there is hope. Maybe try a different firmware package.
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or the HTC one?
Successful!!
I just tried it again and it worked!
Thanks alot everyone, especially the one who told me to check
if kies was running
Hi, I been stuck on cache.img for hours (i left it overnight) kies isnt running in the background and i tried many times, im trying to flash XWKI4.
I came across this post and im using a HTC cable to connect, is this a problem??
Edit: Kies really messed up my phone it kept failing on firmware upgrade, asked me to do firmware emergency but that wasnt working either, eventually the firmware upgrade worked BUT the phone doesn't recognise my SIM card so i want to reflash in ODIN

. Thinking of going to service centre, i know I haven't void my warranty.
ROOT = warranty void .Custom rom = void warranty
So if you have neither you are ok if not you need to flash stock rom to unroot and set rom counter to zero with USB jig .

did you try turning the device on and off again?
Try redownloading the file you're trying to flash, sometimes they get corrupted.
Why are you trying to flash bootloaders anyway? Is your player seriously screwed up?
Ill try that. The player boots straight into recovery, that's my primary issue.

If you're getting recovery your bootloaders should be fine. Probably just need to reflash kernel/rom.
I've done that and it still boots straight into recovery
Are you sure you have the right kernel and rom? Maybe try a different one from the dev section?
I have the 4.0 us, I'm 100% sure I have the right rom. I might just send it back to Samsung. This whole problem started after flashing over to Klins Klassic and doing a factory wipe.
Try a different rom for your device.. it shouldn't be irreversibly screwed up.

Redownload the Us restore pack. Ensure that re-partition is checked.
YP-GP70CWY
Hello,
I just encountered the same problem with my SGP5. It got stuck and reboots to the Android Recovery. I was trying to install a tweak on it after rooting and it just happened. I could go to kies no problem. But the main is, I can't get the OK/Power button to confirm so that I can wipe everything. Vol+- works but no confirmation. What should I do?
It is really hard when someone is on a learning curve. This is totally different for me.
Thank you very much for the devs and help.
....................................
I thought I had bricked it. I made it working again by reinstalling a rom.
thank you anyway.
I had one of my players that kept booting into recovery after resurrection from hard brick. Flashing a different rom fixed it. Flash a rom with CWM and use CWM to factory reset the device and retry. It took me a couple of tries, but I managed to get it to boot correctly.
cvcduty, I have read your little guide to restore the Galaxy Player on AdamOutlers' thread but it still won't work.. If you can please help me out, I'd be very grateful/appreciative. Thanks!

odin flash failed at boot.bin!!ICS

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

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!!

Help please. Odin won't complete flash.

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

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?

It was the UCLE5 file. I'll try this one.
Now it gets stuck on Sbl.bin. Here is what it says:
<OSM> I777UCKH7-REV02-home-low-CL503881.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/010> Odin v.3 engine (ID:10)..
<ID:0/010> File analysis..
<ID:0/010> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/010> Initialzation..
<ID:0/010> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/010> Sbl.bin
I'll let it run for another 5 or so minutes, then I'll try different ports and see what happens.

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.)

CWM 6.0.2.7 Upgrade hung for 20 minutes what do you suggest I do?

So what do you suggest, I have the following:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/004> recovery.img
now 20 minutes later nothing has updated, so what should I do, disconnect the phone and try again?, wait another 20 minutes?, kill odin? The last few times I think this took a few seconds, maybe a minute not 20 minutes. I'd rather not brick the phone if I can help it, but obviously odin is not working correctly, the question is what has the least chance of breaking anything and allowing me to continue safely.
Thanks,
ERIC
Did it say pass or failed? You don't need to pay via rom manager just visit koushik's web site and download the latest cwm flashable recovery, there is also a thread in original development where you can download it free.

Actually that's the problem it says nothing has done nothing, as I said its hung. I'm wondering what is the least risky thing to do? Plug the USB, kill odin or reboot the phone as those seem to be the choices.
I think you update your CWM from here...

Something went wrong, because I just flashed it in seconds.
