Hey guys,
I just got my phone today and for some reason it doesnt work anymore.
I allready rooted it (one click) and loaded ROM manger. I tried to do that SD card thing on it whre you make room for App storage and when it rebooted it got stuck after the whole booting process. (The sound for the T-mobile ad seems to be a little to late) Black screen and lighted up sensor buttons (which stop glowing once I touch them, and then light up again). Tried everything. Odin sucessfully done, but still the same thing. Please dont tell me I got to give my brand new vibrant away. I get it in download mode and recovery mode.
Sorry for the bad english, I´m german and in america right now.
I deeply hope you guys can help me
Do you mean you tried to partition the SD card from ROM manager??
Check the repartition box with a checkmark..
Odin again, Odin again, and again, sometimes a success does not equal all files copied correctly.

That is what it did, and booted into a the same black screen as before. Anything else I can do?

Why did you even want to partition your sdcard when you already had how many gigabytes for apps already?

Thank you so much! You made me hope.
But the second link in the thread you gave seems to be uncompled. Or am I beeing really stupid?
I am a big noob, so I didnt know wha tthe partition was and jus wanted to give it a try-- big mistake. Never gonna do "just try it" again!

OKAY HERE GOES.
Download thisand extract it. And flash it in ODIN v1.7. No Pit file.
Your phone should boot into i9000 Froyo Rom.
Go back into download mode and Flash T959UVJFD.tar with the 512.pit that you downloaded in the previous threads.
To get into download mode use either "adb reboot download" or the button combo
Your phone should be saved. If not, then .....

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.

yeah but it works fine on my mesmerize and it uses 2.3.4
best case is it says failed when Odin tries to flash it.
and where you going to get a backup rom ? does Kies do some sort of full back up ?

Well, odin recognizes it even with it not being in download mode, and I figured out how to compile my recovery rom, so it is currently flashing, will let you know what happens! Keep your fingers crossed!
EDIT: it gave me "FAIL" please help! I am using odin 1.3
It seems to fail at recovery.bin, maybe mine is corrupted.
If someone could post theirs for a 4.0 u.s. version, I would appreciate 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.

You did some **** that you shouldn't have done without reading first. If you had done any damn research you would know why the i9100 screen pops up. And it isn't because your phone thinks its an i9100.

You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.

I used odin to flash the the kernal in the second thread of this post. I put the .tar in PDA and the phone is recognized by the computer/odin. Hit start and it flashed the kernal with success. It was stuck at Samsung logo (the one with color not the initial white one). Did it again with the stock kernal same issue.
I will tried the kies approach.
Easiest way i found to root was to flash stock gb rom via odin and install cwm from odin and flash a rooted rom.....semi bricked while trying to root a stock 4.0.4 note.

I have a backup of my stock rom from when I got the phone and I would like to restore that back but it won't let me. When in recovery and I hit restore I get "E:Can't mount /sdcard" so I try advanced restore and then I get "E:Can't mount sdcard" and finally I tried restore from internal sdcard and then I get an error saying "Couldn't open directory. No files found." bearing in mind I don't have any sd card inserted but it's how I always used to do it. So I tried going to mounts and storage then mounting the sd card from there but get an error saying "Error mounting /sdcard!".

It's the only recovery I have, but how would I go about re flashing it? Just put it in a .zip or something?
have you tried looking for another recovery or looking into the android development for your phone.
shouldnt be that hard to put one on, in fact if it becomes that hard, it should only be as hard as running a few ADB commands. look for one that you like and check out the instructions

No , hes talking about kernel. You need to try a different kernel (they include cwm recovery).
Flash the kernel/recovery you used when backing up the rom.

I can't even remember what kernel I was using back then. It was 2 years ago now.
I'm not sure if it's all worth it, I'm only recycling it at the O2 store for money, does it matter? Is installing custom roms illegal? Because my only worry is them testing it by turning it on or something and seeing that I'm running cMIUI.

Dude don't worry and that phone is worth the fix. As far as I c it you don't even have it that bad. What atheist said is correct.
All you need to do is look for a recovery / kernel that most of the time come together and flash it. Just read the instructions on that post.
After all you're in the right place to get your phone hooked up and fixed whenever u have problems. Don't be nervous about it. Unless u want a new phone lol.

I have Odin, I have the stock tar md5 file or whatever it is. I think the only thing I'm missing is the OPS files which I can't find because the only link I found was dead. Any help please?
The tar.md5 file is all you need. Flash it in the PDA section of Odin as previously advised.

Right. I have to boot my phone into download mode too right? Power button + home button + volume down? Because I'm doing this and it's not working. Stuck on 'SetupConnection..' at the moment.
edit: it finished and said "Complete(Write) operation failed."
Anyone know why this isn't working? :s
can't get to Download Mode?
Time for usb jig.
or this thread.
Sorry, I typed that out wrong. I'm in download mode (I think) but I'm getting those errors that I posted about when I have it plugged in with Odin opened..
Install/Reinstall Kies and shut it all up before you open odin, then flash.

I totally forgot about kies man, never even had it installed. It seems to have worked, and I'm on a stock ROM now but when I boot up it's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S II logo where it keeps illuminating..
I'm not sure if that matters, if the store I take it to for money does end up testing it, at least they can see it turns on, just boot loops for some reason? :/

Wipe data/factory reset in recovery, should sort it.
