I've got a stock SGH-i717D here.
I'm struggling with the one-click-odin install. (It goes red with "FAIL!").
I'm wondering if anyone has it working on a Telus-purchased phone, before hacking at it a lot longer.
TIA

Same here on Rogers Note, since morning, tried downloading files by different browser here and there,
it gets fails, or stucks in setupconnection on odin.
Have you tried the CWM flashable .zip in the dev section?
I've just finished downloading it but have not tried to flash it just yet
OFFTOPIC:
Since you have a stock telus rom, would you be able to help and upload you system.img after flashing clockworkmod recovery? I need to return my note for a new one and need the bootup animation. I've almost got mine completely stock, except I have the regular old android logo bootup animation
Interesting.
Mine gets past SetupConnection but then fails with

I have a few questions:
1. Could you link me to the ICS ROM I need?
2. If I need to restore to my original ROM for some reason how would I go about doing that?
3. Is the ICS for my phone working well?
I have tried to look around a bit to figure this out, and while I think I might know which one to use, I want to be 100% sure.
I appreciate whatever help can be given.
Thanks.

I have a download available of all the stock files from a Telus Note http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577311
I haven't packaged it into a rom because I don't know how, if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to do that it would be appreciated. About the only thing really stopping me from doing it is figuring out how to convert a system dump to a system.efs.img or whatever the heck it needs to be.

SINCE APPARENTLY I WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH, IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND ARE ON THE CARRIER VERIZON, USING A GALAXY S FASCINATE I500 DO NOT INSTALL THIS. YOU WILL REGRET IT. END OF DISCUSSION.
I think this is pretty straightforward, thanks to a lovely line dropped to me, we have a leak on our hands It's already running on a few phones at this point it seems, and sounds like a fairly stable release! Currently working on rooting the ***** but it should take me long Energy drink and a couple hours to go.

ROOT INSTRUCTIONS!
Once you have the 2.2 leak installed (It'll probably take a few tries in odin. If odin does NOT recognize the phone, try a different USB cable/port, my old milestone cable didn't work, my actual samsung one did) install the Cyanogen initial kernel from my other rom port using odin (AND the included pit file, natch) and THEN install the update.zip included (Same one as before! yay )
SU works, busybox is included, root is perfect.
God I love friday nights.
Enjoy.
adb push rage.bin and all that good stuff.

Well you guys are on gsm, right? That's probably why you guys got it first. I don't really mind the wait peraonally, and all these leaks make me hopeful. But I wonder why the Telus version is even called Fascinate if it's so different from the other ones.

Actually, I was trying to inject a little humor.
I can seriously empathize with having a ****ty upgrade path and no carrier support
(I owned a milestone, Droid with an e-fuse, also, a motorola product. )
2.2 first try!!!
Thank you so much OMEGA!!!
Odin is a breeze to use...I don't know why I was so afraid. Downloaded as per your link, then extracted, and placed the .pit, rom and CSC files in the right spot, put the phone into download mode, hit 'start' et viola! 2.2!!!
Now on to root...i'm guessing the kernel goes where the rom should go and the pit file goes exactly where is says...
Then boot into recovery apply: update.zip???
So here's where i'm at so far:
2.2 with ODIN = YES!
Changed kernel (and pit) to cyangen from stock 2.2 with ODIN = YES!
ROOT = NO!
I'm trying to root the phone, but I have some questions if you don't mind OMEGA...
- When I boot into recovery mode, it takes me straight to clockwork recovery...I can't get into standard recovery.
- Fine, i placed the .zip from the OP in this thread in the root of the SD card and renamed it to "update.zip" (Don't worry, i made sure it's not update.zip.zip b
- I choose install .zip from sd card (choose.zip) and it does not work, just hangs
- I also tried apply sdcard:update.zip I get an error message E:can't mount SDCARD:update.zip installation aborted.
Can you help??
Edit: Never mind, problem fixed, thanks!! But one more noob question: Can I install the root .zip just from stock 2.2 or do I need the cyanogen installed first?
I'm not rooted yet. still stock 2.2; I went back to the stock telus rom, reflashed it over the cyangen kernel, as I couldn't get root and wasnt crazy about the home button acting like back..but i digress....
Can you install apk's with andexplorer or any file brower? I tried to install genie widget and HTC_IME keyboard and they both keep FC'ing.. Place the apk in the sd card and choose 'install'.
I want to get root so I can remove some bloat and install apk's with root explorer but will patiently wait for OMEGA to chime in..
Thanks!

Lol good one...so take a look at my post can you help me out with my root problem?
Are we able to use stock android yet? or is it just limited to TouchWiz still?
A question. After attempting to flash a theme... I got a bootloop. So I flashed the provided undo file. Now my phone will not boot past the Galaxy S 2 screen with the warning triangle. Any help? I'm kinda panicking...
dont you make any cwm backup first ?
i believe u can still enter recovery mode ( power + home + volume up ) ,
and do full wipe, and flash any other rom .zip .
p/s: i believe you already have root, and install any rom before
no i didnt... i was rooted. i have both cwm and download mode... but phone wont boot. I live in canada so samsung has not uploaded our stock rom files...
If it is not backup-ed, then you will have an issue.
Now, try wipe phone via CWM, clear cache and clear dalvik.
Finger's crossed it work.
If not, last choice will be install any Custom ROM and it will wipe (hopefully) all the not 'right' files.
nope.... nothing... guess i will take it in for warranty... thank you anyways my friend
I got that as well in the past, although mine was caused by incompletely flashing Cyanogen. Had a major freakout before I figured it out.
The only way I found to fix it is to flash stock firmware using Odin (and you will not be able to restore stock Canadian as it hasnt been released for us yet). I went with the xxKG2 (polish firmware I think).
There may be other ways to fix the problem but this will 99% sure take care of it. Your warranty will of course be void untill the Canadian firmware is released.
Cheers!

An additional note: from what I understand you're also getting the insecure kernel triangle. If the counter in download mode also shows that you flashed non-official firmware/kernel, your warranty could already be void. In that case Samsung may now honour their Limited Warranty Agreement.

/emmc is the external sd card, you probably don't have one in the slot so it wasn't able to mount it.
The Yellow Triangle means you had something changed in the kernel partition, so the custom binary counter went up by 1.
As for stock rom, you will have to wait for Bell Canada to release one.
If you are not looking for stock, I'd recommend CyanogenMOD7, however it is still on nightly development, which means it has it fair share of issues.
I prefer CM7 and its problem over the stock which also has a fair share of issues.
if you can use downloading mode , you can flash back stock rom. believe me it will work.
you can study how to flash back stock rom using odin here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Are you sure you've "repeatedly" followed those instructions? You claim that flashing a stock ROM isn't possible. But those instructions require you to flash a stock ROM.
You don't have to flash the ROM that is specific to your region/carrier. Just flash ANY stock ROM to get your phone working again. Then you can flash back to whatever ROM you were on previously.
But if you wanted to get back onto whatever ROM your phone initially came with, you're out of luck.

Wow... you repartitioned the phone. Something that was repeatedly told not to do. Now you have a screwed up partition.
Now you will have to find a official stock rom for your phone, and the correct pit file, then repartition it and hope it works.
The first rule of Odin (for 99% of us) : you never flash a PIT file.
I feel like that should be stickied front page. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble and possibly around 700$.

Same problem? You mean you repartitioned the phone as well?
Double check the md5 checksum to see if it is the same as posted if it is posted at all. If not, double check the file size to see if they are the same. Most browsers say the file downloaded is complete when it was disconnected somewhere, and the file is incomplete.
I find it hard to take devs seriously, when they don't post filesize or don't post md5 checksum. Either that, or those two information is really hard to find, not on the download page.

Ok so what i mean is cant start the phone I just get the logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom of the page so I tried to flash kernels but that doesnt help, but whenever I try to flash bigger files with Odin (I think they are firmwares, i downloaded them from Intratech's post) or Villainrom 1.1 it always fails when it says boot.bin in the message window for the big files and factoryfs.img for villain rom
Hello there!
I have read through all the Boot loop posts before anyone asks!
My phone is stuck on the Samsung galaxy s2 boot up with the yellow triangle and the black "!" inside (Boot loop). This happened after flashing the wrong kernel on the device first time. Here is the thing, no matter how many times I try to flash the Kernel which I think is "KH1" (99% sure) in download mode with Odin and all the right drivers installed right from Kies, it still won't work! I've tried stock kernels, insecure kernels... you name it I've tried it!
The phone it's self will go into DOWNLOAD mode (which works fine) , but not RECOVERY MODE at all!
I have been trying for days to fix it, but nothing on here will work.
Please some one get back to me and try to help me fix this problem as I want to use my galaxy s2 again. :/
Thanks, Sam.

Alternatively, it is possible to flash VillainROM 1.1 if you are not comfortable in wiping via recovery, or if you cannot do so for any reason (corrupted kernel etc), as it wipes all users data when installing. Simply ignore steps 2 to 4, and flash VillainROM 1.1 via ODIN instead of the stock ROM.

Assuming you really do have an I9100, stock ROMs are here [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download and you should probably be looking for a WIPE ROM, such as XXKI3:

If you try to flash a multi file firmware and checking re-partition it still fails? I had this by using one file firmwares. Go to Intratech's thread and download a multi file firmware with new bootloaders to get comletely stock. This can not fail.
I have found out that the most stable multi file is xxki3.
While flashing this that way you should not encounter any failures with Odin.

hi guys, any help would really be appreciated.. i think i have the exact same problem as op. let me articulate it in a slightly more clear manner:
1. i flashed an insecure kernel in order to get root access. somewhere along this process somehow something got messed up.
2. the phone is stuck in a bootloop. this shouldnt be a problem! simply flash stock rom/stock modem, enter recovery mode and do a reset!
3. uh-oh. recovery mode crashes instantly, and the endless bootcycle comes back.
4. ive tried using cwm recovery, stock recovery, both of these have failed.
5. download mode works completely fine (using odin 1.85)
im running the AT&T version of galaxy s2 i777, but posting on those forums havent really gotten a solution, with build version UCKH7. I've tried to find a "wipe" package for this build but although i can find stock PDA and stock MODEM, i cannot find stock CSC. in desperation, i have also tried flashing PDA/MODEM/stock PIT at the same time, but this also has not worked. someone on the i777 forums has recommended trying to flash a new bootloader, but im a little wary with taking that step. noone has done it before.
any ideas?
TL;DR: my phone is stuck in a boot loop, but unlike others, recovery mode crashes instantly before i can even explore any options, and reenters bootloop into main android.

What exactly are you putting into each section in Odin, and which settings are checked? How long does the process take? Did you ever (either when you originally messed it up or while trying to fix it) choose any of the pit/repartition settings? What did you originally flash to cause the problem in the first place?
Is it possible to get screenshots with phone connected before flashing and one afterwards with all the options you're using shown?
This thread mentions something I asked earlier as the solution but you didn't respond to. Have you tried a different USB port and reinstalled the drivers (in Kies: tools -> install driver).
Kies also has a "firmware emergency recovery" though I've got no idea what that does, or if it's recommended to try.

What exactly are you putting into each section in Odin, and which settings are checked? How long does the process take? Did you ever (either when you originally messed it up or while trying to fix it) choose any of the pit/repartition settings? What did you originally flash to cause the problem in the first place?
Is it possible to get screenshots with phone connected before flashing and one afterwards with all the options you're using shown?
This thread mentions something I asked earlier as the solution but you didn't respond to. Have you tried a different USB port and reinstalled the drivers (in Kies: tools -> install driver).

It takes like 2 seconds on this one, other kernels which I flash take about 30 seconds then say PASS, but still boot loops. I haven't choose any of the pit/repartition settings. I just flashed the wrong kernel from trying to root the device for the first time, but this just put it into the boot loop.
I am just putting the "New_Bootloader_GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3.tar" in into the PDA and then pressing start. I can't put a screen shot up here though as it won't let me.
I have tried different USB ports and reinstalled drivers. I also tried "firmware emergency recovery" but kies doesn't connect to my phone.

If you try to flash a multi file firmware and checking re-partition it still fails?

To OP, have you tried this? If all of your attempts thus far have involved a single file, and no repartition, if could be worth a try with one of the packages which has PDA/Phone/CSC as separate files (as on Intratech's description here: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8290/odinxm.jpg). Failing that, you could try a ROM which comes with a PIT file to repartition the phone in case the partition table is somehow corrupt/damaged/incorrect, but you might want to consider that a last resort.
Greetings.
I know this forum can get quite annoyed with posts being repeated and the same question being asked many times over.
I would just like to say that I have searched this forum for the problem I have, however either the posts are beyond my knowledge or not directly related to my issues. If I have missed something please let me know.
First things first. My phone.
I have an International Samsung Galaxy S3
It is running Stock JellyBean 4.1.1 (O2 UK)
It has been rooted with Odin. (I only rooted because I wanted to use Titanium Backup). It has been rooted successfully for about 3 weeks.
I wish I could give the exact firmware and other figures but I can't access them on my phone.
The Problem
Today whilst working at my desk I decide to check my phone but when I look at it there is a message being displayed that states "Encryption Failed". There is some text saying that I need to factory reset my phone and then, below that is a reset button. I press the reset button, the phone reboots to exactly the same screen. I press it again... And again... And again.
Now it boots into CWM-based recovery. Figuring I don't want to screw this phone up further without finding out what the problem is, i restart the phone again. Now the phone just boots into the Samsung logo and then reboots and so the cycle continues.
I have no idea how this happened, it was so random and unexpected.
What should I do?
The good points
I can still get into CWM-Recovery
From reading previous posts I have downloaded Samsung toolkit but its well beyond my capabilities.
The bad points
I haven't a clue what to do
Having only just switched to android and learnt the basics about rooting, I really need some assistance with this problem.
Please, please, if there is anyone on XDA who can help point me in the right direction I would forever be grateful.
Tried flashing a clean, stock ROM from Odin?

Thank you. I will look into how to do that. I've only ever rooted, never flashed any kind of ROM. I apologise for my noobness.
The one good thing about this is that I certainly will learn a lot more about my phone in a short space of time.
I will update when I have tried this.
Also will the 'backup and restore' or 'reboot recovery' in CWM be of any use?
Thanks again.

If you made a backup when you rooted with cwm recovery, then I would try to restore it 1st.

Unfortunately I didn't make a backup in CWM, so I cannot restore (I'll be sure too next time though).
Thanks for your suggestion.
Just to update.
Now the phone just gets stuck on the Samsung glowing screen and doesn't keep restarting. I still have access to CWM.
I'm still searching for the Official Jelly Bean ROM to download for my phone.

I have now opened Odin3 v1.85.
Interesting to note that the top black bar says 'Epic 4G'. I don't know if that is of any significance.
I've found the ROM which i relevant to my phone, i think (I9300XXDLIB)
Just to ask, I'm not needing to download any firmware? Different firmware versions were the major results i found when searching. I wouldn't be able to tell you what firmware I'm on, other than to say its Stock o2 UK firmware, whatever that maybe.
Thanks again for the replies.
UPDATE:
I just used odin to try and install the new ROM but it failed.

Please can you provide a link? Its my first time on Sammobile so im still trying to find it. Thanks.
Ok.. After that first try failure I've noticed the phone doesn't even get past the Samsung Galaxy s3 boot screen.
I still have access to CWM through pressing the right buttons.

Alright alright, let's start with some basic stuff here.
1)- Do you have a micro sd card in there? And a card reader to read/write content to it from your PC? (We can use this to flash another ROM directly from CWM).
2)- Did you enter download mode when attempting to flash with ODIN? (Powerdown + Home + Power button)?
Everyone should follow the layout of the first post when asking for help, makes it way easier for people to understand and help.

Hi,
1) Yes I have a micro SD card, which I can use to place files on from my PC.
2) Yes, I entered download mode when flashing to from Odin (The screen with the warning about installing custom software). I clicked ok, and then Odin detected my phone.
I'm currently downloading PDA:I9300XXDLIH & CSC:I9300O2UDLI3 as I'm aware the last ROM could have been the wrong one.
Any assistance would greatly appreciated.
Hope all goes well mate , skander1998 will have much more knowledge than I

If ODIN doesn't work after all, download Android Revolution or any other stock based ROM, place it in your external SD card, and flash it from CWM, Factory reset and that should work.

Thank you. I will try this and let you know. Hopefully it will work.
Ok here is my problem.. While testing 4.3 TW and trying to get wifi working for you guys I screwed up my phone.. Ok yes I know how to use Odin to return to stock..blah blah but hear me out..my steps were as follows..
I was on our port from att 4.3 tw here..
I used these files here:
Misc ------------------
Here is the new 4.3 Bootloader
just in case its needed . so you don't have to flash one click just to get there
Contains
4.3 sboot.bin param.bin and tz.img from the latest I317UCUBMJ4 Att 4.3 leak
http://d-h.st/q3a
to flash sboot, param, and tz.img to see if that would kick my wifi on..
Now I am stuck with a screen that flashes Samsung Galaxy Note II when powered on and nothing happens.. no recovery
I am able to get into DL mode but when I try to flash a Stock Odin image or Kies it fails with and without the .pit file.. and seperatly as well
I have tried to use Heimdall to flash everything seperatly but it does not go through.. It sees my device.. I select everything fine.. and nada no progress nothing..
I truly think I have hard bricked my device!!
ANy help would be MUCH appreciated

you've probably tried this, but have you tried to flash the alt vramc3 Odin image? i believe that odin img doesn't have the vramc3 bootloaders.

How's $200 plus shipping? It has a screen cover so there's no scratches on the screen and very little if any on the body. It's unlocked with Tweaked VZW Remix rom and it's been completely wiped.

What firmware did you use in ODIN? I used 4.1.1 VRALJB because that's what my phone came with out of the box and I had no issues flashing it. I never took an OTA...also I could not get into recovery mode easily it took a few tries and finally went into TWRP.
