Rooted with superoneclick
installed cwm from rom manager on the market
installed Stock+Voodoo kernel through odin
tried to install eb01 rom through odin, it failed
got into download mode again
tried installing DI01package3.tar through odin it failed at around 60%
download mode/recovery mode won't start anymore.
instead when I connect the phone I get some weird loading thing that's not moving
and now my PC won't recognize it
Picture of the loading thing?
Also, did you flash the voodoo for another phone?
EDIT: Try taking the battery out and holding the down button while plugging it in, if that doesn't work, you probably flashed something for another phone and you'll need to either use a jig or get a warranty replacement.
EDIT2: Also try this:
Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power.
or this: take out the battery, hold both Volume Up + Volume Down and plug it into usb.

That was a no no. Those were for the Verizon Fascinate. That's over my head but maybe someone else knows a way to recover from it. Otherwise, you have a brick. And there really should be different sections for the various carriers.
It's for verizon man

hey I dont know what thread I read this on but there was a way to force your phone into download mode, I think the thread is call fun resistors or something.
basicaly the phone is set to do things depending on what is plug to by the usb cable, for instance if you have a car dock it pulls the car app and same for homedock pulls the clock app. well there is a set resistance that will make the phone go into download mode. download mode might be intact but the buttons might no so when you press them it does not detect, but with the resistors it might.
let me know how it goes.

Here's the link. Funny I had just been reading about this for a friend's Vibrant that went and killed itself.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Keep in mind that that is in the i9000 forum, so I don't know if each phone uses different resistances to send the phone into download mode or not. Also, I would highly recommend using the suggested USB-micro breakout board, which is available here:
http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10031
It will make life SO much easier.
Do some more googling about your phone, and about forcing it into download mode before you just go soldering in 301k resistors onto a usb board.
Good luck.
Your phone basically IS the Vibrant, follow the steps for the Vibrant to fix it, but use the Telus Fascinate Odin files.
I hope you can find a full odin package cause the DI01 package flashed the bootloaders, modem, and everything else on your phone. Most likely, you have a true brick and you aren't going to be able to fix it.

If you can't find one, use one for the Vibrant, it won't hurt seeing as you already flashed the files for the VZW Fascinate.
If he has anything appearing on the screen at all, it's not a true brick. There's a Telus fix-all Odin. He needs to jig himself into download (see this thread for the simplest method) and apply that (step 1 in this post).
Do *NOT* use any Vibrant Odin stuff. The SBL for that can actually kill the Telus deader than dead.

You should apply the DI01 Odin fix-all package adrynalyne posted.
The OP, on the other hand, is on Telus so he needs a different Odin fix-all package.
do u have a link to that pls
i found it ty very much for steering me in that direction..ill post back when im done..i found as an answer to a completely different issue..so im assuming since i didnt find the original thread that i just launch it in odin and it will do its thing correct?

Has anyone tried Odin flashing cwm-recovery-all.zip?
It was designed to work on many phones but also integrates voodoo for those kernels that can use it.
I don't see why it wouldn't work but I am no development and without a recovery image available from sanding I don't want to kill my player.

Could you give me a link of what you are talking about? never heard of it before, bit I would be willing to try it.
i just checked the sdcard on my mesmerize and i was incorrect, the name is cwm-recovery-all.zip - you can also google that and get tons of download links from places like mediafire.
it is CWM or Odin flashable.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...-clockworkmod-all-roms-updated-3-30-11-a.html
it was actually found here but here is a link for another place that has a link for both cwm flash and odin flash versions.
frankly i have not even seen anyone post how to get into recovery or how to get into download mode...
but of course adb should easily be able to do both.
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob to android, How would I flash this? You say you can flash it using cwm but isn't that what we are trying to get on? I have no idea how to use Odin and would appreciate help.
Edit; where do I even download Odin?
Could I just do this manually with root explorer? looking inside the zip it seems possible, but would I have to do anything with the "META_INF" or "kernal_update" folders, or are they only for flashing?

nope no manual install. its a flash.
and google is your friend dude.
just look for something like Odin 1.3 or higher.
but i use 1.3 because i have a Galaxy S 1 phone. (samsung mesmerize)
and i am gunna warn you, there is a good chance this will brick your Player.
and since Samsung doesnt offer a firmware download, you are screwed. i dont think even Kies would be able to fix it.
downlaod the cwm-recovery-all.zip (or you may download a tar file i forget
unzip it, and inside is cwm-recovery-all.tar inside of it is recovery.bin. (dont unpack the tar file.
odin is easy. just put your phone into download mode. (via adb - adb reboot download )
plug it into your pc.
open odin - it should say something is recognized or added (meaning your phone.)
click pda and choose the cw-recovery-all.tar
then click start.
once again you could easily kill your Player by doing this. - atleast until someone figures out how to
but if I do brick, can I use a backup rom to fix it, or will this screw recovery mode= no possible fix?
Edit; looking at that thread, it seems this is for 2.2, I have 2.3.5, I think that is a good reason for me not to try this, sorry! I'm chickening out.

best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.

for above problem.. i managed to flash back to my stock rom.
1. download your stock rom from samfirmware (2.2/TTT version in my case)
2. download odin3 1.85.
3. flash using pda button
worked for me.
ps. i had mine bricked due to checking partition box, using above method fixed it.
Last time I checked, samfirmware didn't have it for U.S.
Also were you able to get yours into download mode, if so how?
Also about my post above, I just mean the recovery.bin file, not whole rom.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I backed up; system, kernal, and recovery. I put these int a .tar.md5 file with cygwin, and when flashing with odin it fails as it gets to "recovery.bin" wich leads me to believe that is the problem.
So I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to install Ultimatum 2.0 on my i777 yesterday, and it finally worked after many hours. Then today, I decided to do a factory reset under "settings" and this is where the fun begins.
The phone rebooted into the screen with the Samsung Galaxy s2 along with the usual yellow exclamation mark, then froze. I tried restarting the phone and the same thing happened. Now I have nothing.
The Power + Volume (+/-) doesn't work so I can't get into CWM. I can get into Odin Mode with USB connection however.
So my question is, how can I fix this? I've already done a lot of reading on the topic but still haven't come up with a definite answer.
The basic idea is to flash the phone with Odin, but where can I get the files needed? Is there anything else I need to know? Thank you in advance

why factory reset under settings? wipe data/factory reset is done in CWM.
flash a CWM kernal in odin. boot into CWM. flash whatever ROM you want.
yeah...it was a careless decision of mine.

any kernal would work, depending on the ROM you want. And if you know how to Flash in odin/heimdall. Not sure about Odin, but it might require a certain file type. heimdall is easier IMO, if you know the commands.

In the mean time, help yourself by searching "yellow triangle", "binary counter", "brick", "back to stock", .......
Also, a lesson, do read up, be sure, be prepare before doing anything to the phone.
FIXED!!! SO HAPPY. Thanks for all the help guys.
It turned out to be a driver problem and that was the reason why odin wouldn't detect it. I installed the i777 drivers from the samsung website but those don't work.
anyone who's having a similar problem install the full driver set here: http://uploaded.to/file/xeczx9xt (grabbed from another xda thread)
1.) uninstall any existing samsung usb drivers.
2. ) Reboot computer
3.) install the new drivers.
4.) Reboot again
5.) Open Odin, do the button combination with your phone (2 volume buttons and hold)

It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.

Thank You sir, I.ll try that once I reach my house
I am a long time fan of this forum and have rooted many phones. I had a # symbol on my notification bar wanting me to update my superuser. I have some vision problems due to a stroke 3 months ago and hit the wrong thing and hit the update recovery and I got the Yellow triangle saying the Verizon detected unauthorized software. I know some of you are going to tell me to search for it, and I have done that the best I can. Like I said I had a stroke and it has affected some of my vision and makes my thinking a little cloudy at times. I hope someone can tell me there is a fix for this and would be so kind as too point me in the simplest way in getting my phone restored. I am not helpless, I could just use some help from the community here if there is a fix. Thank you for your help and understanding
can you get into download mode? is so you can probably just flash a stock odin image to your phone withich will bring you back to stock and not sure how you got a update recovery through that even so updating recovery shouldn't do that as far as i know but your best bet is probably odin a stock image look in the stickies in developement or general can't recall exavtly where it is as i am on a phone
If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like you had the update superuser binary icon.
When doing that it gives two options, one is install and I can't remember the other option but it says do it if you're on an HTC device only.
I never read about what happens if you pick the wrong one, but I will look for you.
Hopefully someone else already knows.
i honestly think odin a stock image will solve all of your problems i think that is the only solution once you get the unauthorized software message...
