I know man but thats another thing I haven't been able to do. I tried to flash CWM via rom manager with no luck either. Do you know another way to flash CWM? Or a rom with it?

u mean 2 say that u cant enter cwm recovery mode?
then u can try the three button option
turn off ur phone then hold VOLup+home+powrbutt until u see recovery from there go 2 advance do fixpermissions and reboot system and see
if u cant do the above then u have 2 use downld mode to flash a .tar file of the cwm recovery or the stock ics rom from odin

You could try this:

ok........I'm loosing my patience
I've tried GSII_REPAIR, GALAXY S UNLOCK, THE 9 STEPS TO RECOVER IMEI, EFS_Pro_1.4.7 & nothing works!!!!!!!!!

Your last shot at it before you send it to Samsung is to contact Odia by PM. He might be able to recover it for you. If he can't, that's pretty much the end of the line.

so any luck ,if u have a efs thts good with all files pm me...

I had a weird problem of dissapearing IMEI(corrupt EFS?!):
when left for a couple of days without battery, IMEI appeared and everything seemed well, until inserting a SIM card, when things gone crazy and IMEI & baseband dissapear, to reappear again after a couple of days with phone left without SIM & battery.
But this (wonderful) piece of software HC-kTool did the magic and IMEI & phone are back again!

The first link modifies a whole heap of files, and the second one modifies far less files but also doesn't have a version for stock (odexed) KK2. What did you flash from the second one?
Anyway, what I'm trying to get at is that they're not really comparable.
Easiest way to get back to a working state is to reflash your ROM or restore a nandroid backup if you took one. Messing around with trying to undo whatever you did might take a while.
Well i tried to install the theme throught recovery mode and now it stops there however i can get in download mode and recovery mode. I hope you got some more information for me so i can fix this
thanks for replying anyway

1) With rooting u also on stock firmware and not on Rom, which for theme is
2) Ur second link is for JKay Deluxe and this isn't a theme like u think, it's a modification tool for notificationbar, lockscreen and Power-off menu.
3) This screen is the normal bootscreen after flash (sign because not originally firmware [root])
I don't know how long u wait, but after flashing the JKay .zip it's normal that boot take some time (up to 3 min).
If u already wait so long an didn't boot u have to choices:
1) Flash original firmware again.
Search here and flash this like root via odin (READ INSTRUCTION!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
2) Because cf-root u should have the CWM (ClockWorkMod).
- Go into Recovery Menu (Press Vol- ; Home and the Powerbutton 'til Logo like in third link appears)
- Then Choose Factory reset and after this make a reboot
If system isn't crashed in all u should get it work again, if not u have to choose point one.
If works u can choose a rom from here (like one u see in my signature), copy file on sd card and flash it via CWM (Go again in CWM and then "choose .zip from internal sd card">"flash .zip from internal sd card">then select .zip)
Much success. If anything unclear just let me know...

the above poster told you exactly what to do. if you have a backup rom just go into recovery and revert back to that and problem solved. no more to it. no need for any extra info but anyway if you say you have found a way good luck my friend

Ah ok, can you set up ADB, because it's needed to get access to your root folder.
Afterwards, you need to download this file, it's the firmware for your device https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4AdByfaH4T0WWJEQlNjeHg4bzg/edit
If you have setup your adb and it's running, extract the firmware on your desktop and go to the path "simcom77_twn_cu_ics2-ota-I968.I968.02.05.G.A-V1.0.1B04P85.zip\system\media" without quotes, and copy all the files (via adb) in your phone's /system/media/ and before doing that delete the previous files that are corrupted. After that your phone will be fixed!

Did you make a Nandroid Backup when you first Rooted the Device ? If so, Boot into Recovery. Then restore your Nandroid. If not then you can either Flash a Custom Rom, or the Stock Rom Rooted. Either should resolve your issues.

can anyone help me with this problem using debrick sdcard :crying:
cannot enter recovery or download mode cannot be detected in PC and its full black the only solution is to use jig debrick sdcard and jtag
anyone can any do this
You need to be rooted!
Simply run this command as root and upload it here in this thread
Code:
If you wanto t create your own dump from a friends device the command in a rooted adb shell would be as follows but not exact depending where you want the dump file to end up being on your sd cards. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920" NOTE: the device has to be rooted with a working busybox that supports the dd command.
you can use the file i uploaded and flash it
this may help any users of galaxy star that is hard brick

1st i thought notification bar hiding for greenify.
Then i saw without it , also happenz.
Then i guessed its for kernel.
Seems that no.
Now i m thinking something else.
I installed too many tweaks nd all messed up.
Benchmark went down from 7390 to 4806.
Everytime i install roms i dont clear or format sys,cache,boot,preload,data.
So my guess is,those tweaks always stays as i dont clear them.
THATS WHAT I M THINKING R8 NOW.
THANKS BROTHER FOR UR HELP.
Did u mentioned that??

Now I found it.
whenever i flash stock or stock modded kernel with build DDAMH1 it happens.
But,with a custom kernel like ZD,seems its ok.
Tell me what is ur build version nd kernel.
Coz i did a superclean install,but it did happened again.
formatted
Data
cache
dalvik
system
cache
data
sd
boot
preload
nd
everything..
tried twrp cleaning instead cwm..
but
nothing solved.
but it never happened with zd kernel.
But unfortunately zd kernel lags on my phone(ex:with game like gta 3)
i can play it on stock kernel without problem.
And that happens when my phone is unrooted too.
Final decission is,
I will stop using gts5282 nd get a XPERIA Z.

You probably messed up something, don't ever lose your efs partition backup.
Did you flash csc or home_csc with odin? Use the csc without "home".
home_csc doesn't wipe your phone completely, also backup your data, pictures etc somewhere else as it might erase those too(haven't done this since forever so I don't remember).

Does everything else work?
Which firmware files have you flashed?
Also make sure it's the right one for your sim card.
Other things: Shut down, take out sim, boot without it. Shut down again, insert sim and boot it, see if you get anything on start.
Can you make calls even though it's supposedly enabled?

Did you restore any settings after flashing?
Can you make calls even though you are on flight mode?
Did you try what I said before with the sim card? Also try
putting it in the other slot.
What happens when you long press the airplane icon?
Do you see your IMEI codes when you dial *#06# or do you get zeros or NULL? Don't post them here if you do, just say yes or no

Have you flashed back twrp?
Did you make backups before you started flashing things in the first place?

Again, you didn't take a backup before trying something weird and later something weirder, why?
I'd suggest reflashing stock but you should wait for someone else to try and help you as it may involve fixing partitions among other things.

Welcome, well good thing you had that. Worst case you'll have to take it to Samsung and them wanting to replace hardware, best case things haven't been overwritten so it's restorable through some method.
Pick a custom ROM and stick to that when you fix it.
In the future always make backups, especially since it's a Samsung phone and things that control your IMEI are more reachable than they should be.
Good luck!
