[Q] Vibrant Boot Screen Question? [SOLVED] Also Baseband: Unknown (Solved?) - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently used Odin to flash Lidroid's 2.5.0 2.3 ROM, now my phone says "Galaxy S GT - I9000" then Vibrant when it first boots up.
AND YES I have gone back straight to stock. Several times..
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to fully get rid of that?
SOLVED!

Actually there is a way to get rid of it and I'm the one that created the thread that was asking about it. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll find the odin files I used to get rid of it.
EDIT: Here are the files I used now remember, use the pit,pda and uncheck repartion.

Also when this boots for the first time it's going to go straight into recovery and error out, that's okay just hit reboot system now and then flash back to stock 2.1 through odin. From stock 2.1 you can flash whatever you want and you will be rid of that ugly ass GT-i9000 bootup screen. One more thing please make sure you uncheck repartition because it will brick your phone if you don't.

This actually worked work me it got rid of the "Galaxy S GT - I9000" boot logo from coming before the Vibrant logo. Now ONLY my Vibrant logo comes up.
I want to personally thank, mugenfiji0327, he was the only one who actually posted something of help. Thank you!
EDIT this also fixed my problems flashing the newest CM7 ROMs I was getting baseband unknown and it made the ROM pretty much useless to me. Well if you are having those troubles maybe this came become of great help to you!

Congratulations, you've an i9000 bootloader. As for the boot screen, well you can't get rid of it as far as I know, you might end up losing it after a couple of flashes though.

That Rom is ported from I9000 framework, so it has the 9000 bootloader, the animation is embedded in that part of the code. I know there was a thread that was trying to figure out how to change that or remove. But, I am pretty sure they never did figure out how to do that

Actually there is a way to get rid of it and I'm the one that created the thread that was asking about it. Give me a couple of minutes and I'll find the odin files I used to get rid of it.

You can't just tell somebody they can't get rid of it. Especially when you don't know. There's always a way to do something when it comes to the software. Don't be so negative.

Why would you want to get rid of it, if you do you will experience rainbows on boot, and the only reason people do not flash it is because it can brick, but it did not brick you so no need to get rid of it.

Had you actually read my post you would have come across the two parts where I specifically say "as far as I know" and "you might lose it after a couple of flashes". If anything you're the negative looking for just that to pounce on.

You will not experience rainbows on boot after getting rid of these bootloaders. Are you serious with that statement? Did you not read what I posted ? I have done the steps that I have posted to get rid of those bootloaders and I can say with 100% confidence that 1. This guy that I quoted has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and 2. IT DOES NOT CAUSE YOU TO HAVE RAINBOWS ON BOOT. People want to get rid of it because it's annoying and ugly.

I'm not looking to pounce on anyone or anything,but coming across NEGATIVELY like you did saying that there is no way that he can get rid of it is rediculous. Especially when you have no idea and you're just guessing. My point is your post wasn't helpful at all, IT WAS NEGATIVE. Anyway OP you should let us know if what I posted helped you, so that if it didn't someone else might be able to.

Actually, I do know what I am talking about, he said he was on lidroid which is GINGERBREAD, and on gingerbread if you have the regular vibrant bootloaders it will cause you to have rainbows. You should probably take time to understand a statement before you go shouting.

Didn't realise we're in the Amazing Race For The Most Helpful XDA member here. My apologies sir.
And for the record, if anything, you're waaaaaaaay more negative than you rate other people to be.

Sorry to post back, I currently am trying to do the method mugenfiji0327 came up with on here. Will post in a few if it worked and got rid of the Samsung GT I9000 boot logo.

Problem solved!
Please check the first post for a fix on my issue maybe you too?

according to what i see the file to download and flash is froyo. it will revert back to froyo and this is not a gingerbread rom. this is EUGENE JK2 FROYO.tar. md5
when flashing a and using as a pda it will wipe and restore to FROYO.
this method will not work to load gingerbread.
cheers.

Yes, I am well aware of this. But my original question was to get rid of the Samsung IT - 9000 boot screen before my Vibrant logo appeared. It works. After I flashed this I flashed stock Odin, Rooted, and running CM7, again. Without the boot screen of the IT - 9000

[Q] Read until my eyes hurt....I'm sorry i have to ask....

This is my very first smartphone as I have been to poor to get one before now. I have Att SGS2. From what i have read i have made a bad decision when doing the factory upgrade to uckk6.
The thing is I want to root the phone, put on custom mods....but I am having a hard time grasping it. I don't want to mess anything up and I dont want to lose my photos and such that are on the phone.
I dont know where to even start.....backup program? or? what all programs or apps i need?
before I upgraded, i downloaded a super1click program and it said it was rooted...then i tried to use the phone and there was soooo much lag in the response time..... i hit the unroot button and tried to use the phone and same thing...restarted phone and it was fine. While it was rooted tho, the damn superuser part asked for money before i could even do anything, that was second reason for unroot and of course thinking i may mess up my phone.
I have tried asking all my friends and to no avail have succeeded in finding anyone that has rooted a phone and/or flashed custom roms.
Like I said in the title, i have been to many different sites even trying to read up and I would rather be safe than sorry. If someone could plz help me out here I would be very grateful.
I am hoping I don't get spazzed at like i seen in a few other posts of other ppl.
And i have seen where someone sent ppl to:
[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root
but that doesnt get my foothold on where to start at.
Please don't write me off as a lost cause because I would like to enjoy the benefits of having a rooted phone and custom roms as the rest of you that are intelligent enough to do so. At one point I'm sure you were where i am. I am very eager to learn and can't wait!
While I was writing this i downloaded the Uckk6_stock_rooted.tar.7z not sure if i need it or what though.
Thanks
Follow this guide TO A TEE, and you shouldn't have any problems. It also won't trigger the flash counter so you can take it back for repairs and Samsung won't know you've done anything to it. Use (2C) Entropy's version using windows to root as the others won't work with the OTA update. If you have a MAC, use 2D. Folow the directions EXACTLY how their written. This will get you rooted. Drop down to 3B and again, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEIR WRITTEN. After this is done, you have a Entropy's kernel with CWM. You can then download any COMPATIBLE rom to your internal SD card and flash the rom with CWM.
To save your pics and such, just hook your phone to your puter via the USB cord and copy/paste, or drag and drop to a file on your computer.
GUIDE
thx again axis01. i sent you a couple pm's with a few more detailed questions also
um.....got past the first part 2c......my wifi doesn't work now????
sorry for spazzing i guess. just trying to learn lol.
my phone wont connect to any wifi, turn it on, few seconds later it shuts itself off....... plz somone help asap! its 5 am now....gonna sleep, hopefully response tomorrow.
thx in advance
help came in later post to wipe. thanks
Did you root with kh7? I see you had kk6 stock. If you went back to kh7 (2.3.4) wifi breaks and have to wipe data. Look at entrophy's thread about it. The return to stock one
Head back over to sticky land... Rooting is the easy part.

I just don't understand why people who can't comprehend the process of rooting or flashing even try. It's not like this phone sucks stock that they just have to mod it to make it workable. None of this is rocket science, but if you don't understand it beforehand then JUST LEAVE YOUR PHONE ALONE! It will be 100 times harder to fix it if you don't know how you messed it up in the first place. It really isn't fair to expect people in here to bail you out when things go wrong because you didn't know what you were doing. The warnings aren't there to keep you from the good stuff. They're there so that you'll think before doing and only do once you understand.

Dude stop spazzing out. And don't encourage Miami. Hes helpful but has no patience with this type of stuff. Frankly it was pretty obvious from your first post you were gonna come back with freak out apocalyptic questioning about stuff thats pretty basic.
You did everything in 2c?
Can you still enter download?
Do you have clockwork mod recovery? (Hold all three buttons until you see basic text on your screen... usually like 10 seconds.)
Did you back your contacts up?

In creepyncrawlys guide I didn't read where it said it needed to be wiped?
Thanks
I've read everything in your thread so far and it sounds like everything is fixed. If wifi works and you have root, cwm, and superuser you should be good to go. Go install roms and enjoy. Really doubt your wifi is going anywhere. I'm far from a programmer or anything like that, and from my experience, if you follow the instructions it's hard to **** this phone up beyond repair firmware wise so freaking out is pointless.

I bought the phone, rooted it and flashed a custom rom all yesterday. I was on KK6 2.3.6. Here is EXACTLY what I did:
Get Odin 1.7 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832827
Get Samsung Kies from here (only way my computer would pick up the phone):
http://mirror10.downloadandroidrom.com/download/Samsung/Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe?token=512181517
Follow 2c from here:

Then Step 3A in the same thread.
My phone restarted and I was rooted. My WiFi didn't work. Wiped all data in Clockwork Mod Recovery and I was all set. Then I unlocked my phone (this is optional). Then I flashed a ROM. Easy.
Seems like you're all set if I you did something close to that^

[Solved]Black screen after T-Mobile spash screen/Stuck on Vibrant/samsung boot screen

I was using Rom ToolBox. I attempted to change the theme of my rooted but stock rom Vibrant. When RTB(Rom ToolBox) rebooted the phone it would only boot to T-mobile boot screen then go to a black screen. The 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone still light up when touched. I can get into recovery and have reset data as well as formatted SD card.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I need this phone for my job that starts on wensday.
After recovering from what I posted above, I then soft bricked my phone a second time, this time it would only load to the Vibrant/Samsung boot screen.
"You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works." credit goes to theexel for getting me out of this second soft brick.
If you have had either of these 2 problems this thread should have some answers for you, or will point you in the right direction to getting ur problem fixed.
I cant say thanks enough to everyone that helped or tried to help me with these 2 problems.

If your phone is stock rom but rooted.. just use odin, you can lose some info, or not, but the phone will work perfectly again (suggestion: try jelly bean, better battery, and it's working great)

That should be if you have this phone period, and there's signs of life on it, which there is on yours.
Look through this Q&A section for a tutorial on how to ODIN back to stock, you should be fine.

Bad news for me, now its soft bricked I believe(phone--!--cpu) screen. Also looks like the usb port is bad. Talk about crappy luck. Any ideas on this development is also appreciated.
You can still ODIN when you see phone--!--cpu.
As long as you see a COM in ODIN, you're good to go.
If it's not working, try different computer ports, cables, etc.

I think the longest part of using ODIN is having to download the files initially.
It only takes, no more than 10-15 minutes to have your phone up and running again once you have all the files and run ODIN.

I bricked it good this time, got cocky and flashed droid-vibrant rom. Didnt like it so I went to go back to my original stock rom, used clockwork recovery but something went wrong. When I rebooted the phone im now stuck at the vibrant/samsung screen. Cant get into recovery or download modes now. Everything I try just keeps cycling the vibrant/samsung boot screen. Is this a hard brick or is there a way to save it?
You should be able to get to download mode.
Pull the battery, put it back in.
Make sure the phone is still off.
Hold volume up + down while inserting the usb cable.
See if that works.

You sir are a life saver. Ok now before I do anything else. What should be my first move from here?
Well, that depends on what you want to do.
What ROM you want to install, etc.
Well, what do you want to run on your phone?
Froyo - been out for a long time so it is optimized to the eyeballs. Working GPS, long battery life, quick and snappy.
Gingerbread - Since we had no "official" build, there are problems with battery, GPS and small memory leaks here and there. Plus you will have to install Gingerbread bootloaders (If you screw this up, it is the one sure fire way to hardbrick this device-so tread lightly). Almost all GB ROM do NOT have e911/911. There is CM7/7.2, Simply Honey, MIUI
ICS - Make sure you choose anything 4.0.4 based, as it has updated code from Google. ICZen is my home ICS ROM, but there is Slim, CM9 and a few others. (Install guide is in my signature) GPS sucks for the most part too and maybe/maybe not e911/911.
JellyBean - All are experimental and still glitchy if you don't know what you are doing. HellyBean and SlimBean are the two front runners.
******************
My suggestion to you is for you to runu some Froyos to get you comfortable with the flashing, nandroiding, tweaking,...processes and then move on to something else. Above all read and search. This phone is 2 years old, so chances are you won't have done anything that someone else already has. Nearly all the issues are solved, so you should be able to use the search and find something out about said problem, as opposed to opening a thread about it.

I think i will stay far far away from GB. I guess I would want to stay on froyo, I just dont know which froyo rom would be the best. What im looking for is fast/good battery life/working GPS. I would need 911 to work as I drive for my work and use it quite abit to call in accidents/problems on the roads that I see.
Yea I searched and read and read, once I got to the phone--!--computer I knew what was wrong. This last time I found alot of people who had the same problems, the ones that got solved I tried the methods that they used and none worked.
I would go with Bionix-V FishmanMod Rom / Bionix-V FishmanMod Odin Images. It is proven to be really great at all the things that you listed. Also it has an Odin image, so you can just flash it through Odin and go about your day like normal (See the OP). You can theme it with the themes list in Slim_Ryder's post #4 (this is a great 2.2 ROM also btw).
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I went with the rom that you suggested. So far I am loving it. Much thanks for all of your help as well as others that helped as well.
Sweet!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Also might want to take a look at my Battery Guide stickied in the Q&A section. It has tips, trick, apps and some really good info you might need.
One last thing: Can you go into your OP and click Edit>Go Advanced and then put [Solved] in your title.

[Q] Need Serious Help Troubleshooting a Problem

Anybody that thinks they are one of the best if not the TOP troubleshooting helper around, Please let me know if you are available after 5 today. I dont have a lock screen anymore and when I hold the power button down, the device shuts off instead of having the options to reboot, power down, screen shot, whatever else available. I am rooted, but I did try going back to stock and had no luck with the lock screen. Also, I cound a backup on a different MicroSD card and tried to restore that. It worked fine, but never gave me the lock screen or power down options again. Weather you want to talk on the phone, chat, or email. Please reply here or email me at [email protected] Thank You!
Sorry but we don't have a ranking system here. You get what you get . . .
The power off menu is in the framework of the OS. Have you flashed anything with CWM/TWRP that could have changed the framework? Almost any mod could be a possible cause.
Did you use a theme-setting app? These apps change the framework and that includes the lock screen too.
Have you restored a backup recently?
Post your rom version and apps you installed recently.

I'm sorry you felt the need to take what i said the way you did. I was simply stating what i said the way i did because nobody could ever help me with this. I am currently rooted on stock ics. I didn't even have a lock screen after i flashed back to stock on Odin, then used kies to get the latest ics. It doesn't make sense. Do Tippy have any idea how i could put this back to normal? It's a pain having to rely on go locker and go launcher. Also, when i hold the power button down, the phone just shuts down, with no options like normal. It's crazy. I appreciate your help either way. It won't let me flash a different ROM right now. Gives some error. I just want to be fully stock with a lock screen and power menu options them go from there.

If you push the power button in and it reboots, can't you just hold the middle of the volume rocker in at the same time to get into recovery?

Well yeah but what does that have to do with anything? It doesn't help at all. That doesn't fix any of my problems. This problem is much more complex. The issue is that my phone is not as it normally should be..with options after holding down the power button, and with no lock screen...even after successfully going back to stock, these things were missing...

Since you can't go back to stock,
Flash a rom, it should install those missing things.
Or mess it up worse and take it back for a new one.

It won't let me flash another ROM. Gives me Assn error and doesn't go through. If i try returning the device with the flash counter where it's at, won't that be an issue? I can't go without the device. I use it for too much. Maybe i could figure out how to reset flash counter? Idk..i just need this fixed bad
This maybe a dumb thought but can you use kies and install the original ICS again? I know you mentioned backups didn't work so reinstalling original ICS probably won't worj either. Just a thought.

Are you going back to stock ICS or gingerbread? I would Odin back to gingerbread and start brand new. This will solve any major issue for sure. But only do it if you have the things you need to get back to where you are, like the GB root, cwm or twrp, and your roms. Let me know if that helps

I can let you know up front this did not work. I did this in the beginning. Went back to stock GB then had to use Kies to get to ICS. This did not help my issue/problem at all. Still no lock screen. It sucks. I am almost lost for help here it seems. Is there any way to completely reset the device from the beginning? Or again, any way to get help with everything in the actual framework of the whole device? Anything anybody could do to help me with would be amazing. Thank you for everything again!

Idk but I did warranty claim with one of my notes and Samsung didn't say anything about the flash counter after. But they also sent me the new phone first then I sent mine back, but like I said they didn't say anything after.
but now that I think about it, the lock screen is not a device issue. it comes different in every ROM in the framework res.apk! I don't see how that's even possible? The entire frameworks flash and the device can't on its own decide not to install that especially not on stock GB. For you to Odin back to GB and not have a lock screen on GB is just crazy. Nothing out there I'm aware of can do that and not brick the device. You have to bring that device back foreal. That's screwed and if you do fix that pm me and tell me how!

Will do. You see why it's crazy now!? It's ridiculous! Never heard of or seen this problem ever..I'm not new to Android or Android troubleshooting atall. Just this blows my mind!
There is no warranty issue here.
I asked several questions about what you have done, but you didn't inform us.
You never said what recovery you have. The simplest solution is to reboot into recovery, wipe all caches, factory reset, then flash a stock rom.
If you can't do that I would use Odin to flash a stock rom.
Those are your options.

I have tried to answer every single question to the best of my ability. Sorry I did not answer your question properly. I was on CWM recovery but Just now again I flashed back to STOCK using Odin. Meaning I have stock recovery. I still DO NOT HAVE a lock screen or any options when shutting the phone down. Those "options" you gave me are no longer available. I did all that. I am about to try to go to a friends house to flash to ICS using Kies...which still will give me no lock screen or options when holding down the power button. There is obviously a deeper problem here. I hope somebody could help me solve this issue. Please I am begging here It is horrible!

Why isn't flashing a stock rom using Odin not an option? Odin is the pc software Samsung created and uses for their work.

Again, I feel like a broken record by repeating this SEVERAL times but Flashing Back To Stock Using ODIN Does Not Work! I just said that I did this in my post before last. I finally have managed to get cm10 nightly to flash on my device. When I flashed this, it gave me the lock screen back along with options when I hold down the power button. Thank you all for your help anyways. I guess this is as good as it will get.
When you flash a rom with Odin, it reformats your phone, like a clean slate, then installs the new system.
When you say you flashed back to stock, did you use a .pit file, a .tar file, and a .bin file? If not, you are not flashing back to stock -- you're just adding up a mess in your phone.
If you use Kies, then use the emergency firmware recovery, it will supposedly do the same thing as a correct Odin flash -- reformat then install a clean stock rom.

YP-G1 Black Screen Brick (((((HELP!!!!)))))

I was trying to return to stock using Heimdall. It failed for some reason. Whenever I have tried to use it it always says it failed but this time it went further then usual but the end result was a fail. I think it just repartitioned but I'm not sure. Anyways the only thing it would do is boot into cwm and download mode. So I restored a backup a previously made. Same thing it only booted into download mode and cwm. So I went and tried to flash through odin. Everything worked fine and still the same thing. So then I followed the unbrick thread on XDA and flashed the file and everything finished and said successful but my device would not boot up at all. Doing a little more research it seems that the unbrick method was for 5.0 devices only which I don't know why it isn't placed in plain sight for everyone to see but anyways now I have a dead device. Has anyone had any success with fixing this problem?

Wrong attitude, man. XDA is a free service and you are soliciting unpaid help. Follow the forum rules.
Most, if not all, of our Galaxy Player forum developers and contributors pay attention to all threads and you will get an answer from someone who knows.
If not, look in the development forum and find a developer and send a PM.
Don't clutter the wrong forum with your pleas for help, acting like you're the only one with that problem.

You guys are getting upset for the wrong reason. I have no attitudes and I'm just looking for help. I tried the other forum and didn't get any reply so I moved it to this forum and I am seeing some activity. I didn't know it was a crime. I was asked a question and an answer was given. Don't mistake a straight forward answer for an attitude. Thanks for your input. Now is there a solution for my problem? The SGP is my little nephews and I experimented with it and messed it up. All I want is a point in the right direction.
It might be a kernal issue. Try flashing a kernal for the 4 and see if that works.

Alright, let's all take a deep breath and chill. We empathize with you, dude, we really do.
We need to address another XDA rule that you overlooked. (Understandably. No biggie. Not calling you out, just saying.)
When you post on XDA, you need to be as thorough about your problem as possible, so we don't clutter the thread with Q&A.
1. Symptoms of the problem: What works and doesn't?
2. Any reactions to button presses? Lights? Screen? Sound?
3. Any evidence that it's booting?
4. Does your computer register that it's being plugged in?
That'll help you get started. List anything else that might be noteworthy. Someone will help you.
Also, nightfire brings up a good point. Try flashing the stock kernel for your device via ODIN.
EDIT:
What procedure did you go through when you were following the (wrong) un-brick instructions? Because, if your device is totally unresponsive, you've probably got yourself a Galaxy Paper Weight. If it's not something as dire as that, there may still be hope.
Did you attempt to flash a 5.0 bootloader on a 4.0? A wrong kernel flash wouldn't screw up your device as badly as that. You may need to re-partition some things (/efs and PIT, perhaps) and re-flash stock ROM.
But, please, work with us here and be specific about exactly what you did that led up to the current.
Screen doesn't turn on at all and odin doesn't recognize it.
I used this method....."[10/13]Brick Station! Here to solve your brickable needs! BOOTLOADERS AVAILABLE!!!". I'm not even sure anymore why I felt I needed to use that method but before I followed those steps my SGP would only go into download mode and CWM. I flashed roms and kernels using odin and it said pass...reset. I even restored an old backup but no matter what I did it always rebooted back into CWM. I followed the brick station steps but not the un-resurrectable part because my problem wasn't that extreme but after following through with those steps I now have a device that requires the un-resurrectable method but now I know that it's only for the 5.0. When I connect my device to my laptop it makes a sound like there is some life but nothing pops up...turns on or flashes. I even used a usb jig to try and get it to download mode but nothing at all.
Thank you guys for the help.

Have you tried this ?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850. So what I gather is you can get to the download mode. If you can then you can fix it. The link I posted here is a good place to get everything you need. Use Hemidall method this was the only way to fix it. I had no luck with Odin. If your PC is not seeing your player go into device manager and remove everything under universal USB. after that click on the action menu and scan for new hardware. It will reinstall the usb stuff. reboot PC. Then get the samsung USB drivers install them. Next if you correctly installed hemidall it should work and see your deivice. Read the info ib this link carefully pick the right player. Down load the PIT file for your player. Then in hemidall install the partitions in the correct order as in the instruction. Let me know if this helps or if I can help you more

No progress with getting my SGP working. I don't think I'm explaining my problem correctly because people are telling me to follow the steps that got me to this point lol but all the help is appreciated.
If you press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 10 ~ 15 seconds, do you see a screen with a yellow construction-like sign appear? If so, you are in download mode, and that is a good thing. Try it and let me know.
Nope nothing turns on at all. I dont think its a complete brick yet because i get a beep sound from the computer when i connect it but no signs of life on the device.

[Q] Phone bricked i believe

Hello, i've been using these forums in particular the Samsung Galaxy S2 thread "
[Rom] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2) | Task650 & Ktoonsez (11/9)" for awhile now, probably going on a year. Just today i tried updating to the aforementioned update in that thread from 11/9, and while installing the ROM segment, i got an Error, and said installation aborted, tried once more, same thing, upon trying to reboot my phone it is now stuck in an endless reboot loop, which is why i believe it is bricked. I have found sites that tell me to get back to the stock rom, since i believe that is my only option now, but first and foremost id like to know how to manually get into recovery mode.
Other sites have said holding down Home Volume Up and Power simultaneously will do this, i've tried multiple times, hasn't worked, so unless there's something i'm missing there i'd love to know if there is some other way. Also if there is anything i can do besides simply going back to stock ROM which is a long and drawn out process Id love to know.
Thank you for ANY and all answers in advance.
First off, make sure you have the i777. I know you said you've been using Tasks' AOKP rom, but forgive us for not trusting you yet. Too many people are trying to flash roms that aren't built for their model.
Secondly, recovery mode is volume up AND down, while holding the power for the i777. Hold all three until you get into recovery.
Also, what sort of error did you get? If you can get into recovery your phone isn't bricked.

I've been flashing form this thread for nearly a year as i mentioned so i definitely have the right model, i'm not sure what type of error it was, all i know it it said something like E:/Error cancellation aborted.
Ok in the midst of posting this i finally got into recovery thank you, and i tried reinstalling again. it says "Installing Update...
Symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /emmc/aokp_JB_I777-ota-eng.task650.ktoonsez-11.9.2012.zip

Which i know is a common issue in the FAQ. but the only suggestion is to install some other ROM< which i cannot do b/c i cannot get the phone past boot screen, so i believe i'll be using a guide i found on cnet to go back to stock rom.

I have no problem doing that as long as their some guide on this site to go back to stock rom for me. This guide requires me to go to download mode, which i'm assuming is a different button combination than Recovery?

I'm thinking if i can get into download mode, i can follow the steps that the thread i've been following far give you for status 7 errors, and get my back up and running how it was.
Just need to know how lol.
First thing is IF you need to go back to stock find creepycrawly's return to stock thread. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST TO ONLY USE GUIDES FROM THIS FORUM.
Now onto your issue I personally would get a remove able sdcard, download the aokp zip again and double check the md5. My bet is you just got a bad download. Place the new aokp on the external sdcard, reboot back into recovery and choose to install from sdcard (NOT from internal sdcard since you cannot boot up). Then flash the new aokp.
Another thought is did you make a nandroid backup? You should be able to get into recovery and restore from internal sdcard if you made a nandroid. This will get you back to where you were originally. Then redownload the aokp and check that the md5 matches EXACTLY. Then flash the newer aokp. You are not bricked at this point. Follow up here after you try my suggestions and let us know how it went.

I was referred to this thread nearly a year ago by a friend, and i've had no issues so far, so i kind of arrogantly didn't look too far into things like that, which now i'm obviously regretful of. I've gotten into Download mode, am i right in assuming that download mode only accesses stuff on the external SD< b/c i cannot access my internal drive when entering it, which would make my previous theory about being able to follow the standard Status 7 recovery tutorial if i could get into download mode, wrong.
Sadly to respond to the other poster, no again, with the same about not knowing how to get into download mode, i never made a nandroid, mainly because almost everything on my phone is disposable, i don't take pictures really at all, and all my numbers/contacts are synced up to GMAIL, i guess i never thought of a situation arising like this where that didn't matter, i simply wanted to use my phone lol.
Back to a previous comment you said that i now realize i answered too hastily, about if i have the I777, when my phone boots up it says I9100, but what's weird, and i said it before i was referred here by a good friend of mine who knows my phone, and is a much more experienced rooter than i am, so i guess i just took their word for it, and as i said i've flashed ROM's on this phone for nearly a year now, and it's been seamless, not a single problem up until this point, so im wondering if the i777 vs i9100 conflict caused anything.

I want to thank everyone on this thread for their patience, and their answers, i actually used a guide from another site because it had gotten really good feedback, the only problem is it does not have the I777 official firmware, but rather the i9100, for the international version of the phone so my back key does not work, i am currently looking for the correct version, on this thread, and across the internet if anyone can find the official firmware let me know, thanks in advance, and again thanks everyone who answered in the past, your patience and answers were greatly appreciated.

Forums have these things called stickies. Within these stickies are tidbits of information .. typically these tidbits are important enough to warrant the sticky status and as such should be read carefully. All the info you seek is contained within these stickies

Just get into recovery mode and do the three wipes to fix the bootloop. If it doesn't, DOWNLOAD and FLASH others rom from the original development thread and then install the latest aokp from task to prevent the error status 7. otherwise, please edit the build.prop

I want to thank everyone on this thread for their patience, and their answers, i actually used a guide from another site because it had gotten really good feedback, the only problem is it does not have the I777 official firmware, but rather the i9100, for the international version of the phone so my back key does not work, i am currently looking for the correct version, on this thread, and across the internet if anyone can find the official firmware let me know, thanks in advance, and again thanks everyone who answered in the past, your patience and answers were greatly appreciated.

For one you could have easily found the sticky threads with the i777 stock firmware. Second now that you flashed a i9100 I HOPE it didn't contain the boot loaders for the i9100. But I guess you will find out at some point I'm sure.
Like I said EVERYTHING you need CAN and ONLY should be found HERE on xda developers. Anything else is a crap shoot. Maybe you will get lucky and maybe not.
now that you flashed the i9100 firmware you will have to actually READ FURTHER than you did before to see HOW to fix your button issue. It can be easy if you know what your doing or can be hard if you don't. Good luck. I'm out...

I simply did a factory reset, then install the i777 stock firmware, and i'm up and running, i'm gonna do this for awhile i intend on getting a new phone in the next couple months, at that point i'll go back to rooting. So nothing to worry about, thanks again for everyone's help.
