I was on uclc3 and was trying to root so i could flash one of the custom roms based on the newest leak. I must have screwed up cause it would not reboot. I could get into cwm at first but as itried to reverse now I cant get it to do anything. All it will do is charge off the pc. I bought a mini usb jig but that wont be here til friday. What do i do once I get that? I still have the one click uclc3 odin file, can i use that? Thank you far any help.
Update: The micro usb jig forced the phone back into download mode and I was able to run the UCLD3 odin tar...its the only one I had. Just a note I bought the jig for the Galaxy S2 cuz I could not find one labeled for the Note.
Thanks for eveyones input
Can't get into cwm the conventional way? What rom did you try to flash?

Cant get into download mode or cwm. I tried flashing HYPF rom based off the newest ics leak
You mean hyfr? The only one rom? Hmmm. That shouldn't have bricked it. I know it sounds stupid, but have you tried to charge it to see what happens?
Edit: if you meant hypf then you may have flashed and international rom.

Yes is was the only one rom. I think the problem started before I flashed it though cuz it wouldnt boot after i put the cwm on it. i think i should have flashed superuser zip first. i dont know what wiping the bootloader means but im hoping the micro usb jig can get me back to download mode than i can use the odin to flash the stock rar. thats my plan at least.
Well good luck. Keep us posted.

Ok so I tried to install the Domination ICS 4.0.5 theme on my phone. Followed the instructions very closely and still ended up in a bootloop. My phone was rooted and running an Odexed rom.(the theme was compatible with Odexed stock roms) and I had no prior mods installed. I tried a factory reset but when it starts up it says phone process, system UI has stopped and I get a boot loop. I can get into download mode.
I need urgent help as this is not my phone. Is there anyway to reflash stock ICS on it.
*EDIT* Sorry didn't see the sticky thread about boot loops. I was kind of in a panic. Can a mod please delete this thread
yeah boot you will have to flash back via odin
Yeah I guess I'm just a little panicky right now as this phone is a loaner phone from the service center. I shouldn't have tried to mess with it....lol. Well I'll just re download and flash with odin then and hope it boots up.
Good luck!

I know I was dumb. But I rooted it using a method which the flash counter does not change and I thought I'd just unroot it using the same method before I send it back. Also I got fed up with touchwiz. BTW isn't the left most box suppossed to be yellow in odin. Looks like its not picking up my phone. Oh ****
don't be panick your phone is still healthy.. just install the stock rom via Odin again or you have a CWM ? so install a rom with that things
cheers
Note : bricked is while your SGS II can't get to download mode mate although you tried with JIG ... J-Tag is only Hope for completely bricked phone

vol down+power+home key=download mode
and flash a stock firmware
its around 300 mb download
and before flashing stock do a full wipe in cwm recovery
I finally got odin to recognise my phone and it successfully re flashed. Thanks everyone for your help, you saved my butt. Sorry If I seemed like a noob its just I never got a bootloop before. Ok well I'll leave my loaner phone alone from now on
i have rooted my i717 note att and i have lost my recovery . it is rooted it does go into download mode it will run after using odin but i cannot wipe data factory reset and it now does not have clockwork recovery anymore. i need to know how to repartition and get this thing going . i am sending it to att they have a replacement comming this week .
Have the same problem
How did you root your device? Starting Friday my phone will start, restart, and come back to the same state no matter what I do.
i used odin
i used odin and i installed clockwork recovery and supeuser. Somewere aling the line i screwed up i believe. I've had it rooted since i got it worked fine till yestrday then no recovery idk why or how it lost but that's where im at I've had no issues till now so there is no recovery at all i cannot remove account it stays whatever Rom i try changes but screensavers etc are the same cannot reset.

First off u dont use odin to put superuser on it...its in the play store all u use odin for is to root thats it u never use again PM me and ill help u with ur problem we can fix anything on the i717 sometimes even bricking!! So dont ever think we cant
cm9
There is a thread in the i717 section that will lead u step by step read and read again! Only use odin to root and to install cwm nothing else! Backup ur stock rom then find a custom rom that suits u and happy flashing!
cm9
it will not even flash in odin now. i just tried it about 5 times and no go.
so how was or how did they dertermin that you were out of warranty ? it came out in like feb so did they say it was altered or somthing?
Ur doing something wrong man.....if u was able to get in odin before now u cant its on ur end not the phone
cm9
if you can get into download mode then start from scratch. I personally would re root
then reinstall recovery then flash a rom. take it step by step. I know there are roms you can Odin that will give you root but since your having issues I would do them separately. edit
just try Odin the stock rom tar since you just want to send it in

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!".
What do I do please?

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 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? :/

Ok, so I have recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and I wanted to install cyanogenmod. I used ROM manager to do so.
The problem is that as soon as I installed it, my phone supposedly rebooted but it never started up again!
Now all I get is a flashing "menu" and "back". I can't boot normally, or in download mode, or in odin mode.
I have nothing any more and I don't know what to do, I'm really starting to panic here.
Can anybody please help please?!

you can screw up the hardware drivers by flashing the wrong kernel which in turn can impact download mode. we see it all the time in the epic touch forums because people think that the s2 and the e4gt variants are interchangeable. so yes. you can software brick by flashing rom/kernel/recovery.

Grab Odin and flash stock ROM
*S.O.F.A*2SHAYNEZ*K.C.C.O*
Thanks guys. I'm trying a MegaFireMj2V3 just cuz I already downloaded it. Stock kinda sucked. I'd look and she'd have 3 apps running with low memory warnings. It was rooted and I'd uninstall a lot of bloat, but somehow it would auto update all the bloat right back within minutes. I'll go back to stock if needed but I want to try something de-crapped first.
- Joe
It's worse now.
Ok. Flashing MegaFireMj2V3 was a fail. It seems as if the system partition always fails. So I got Odin and a stock ROM. That failed also, and now I just have a couple of little red lines telling me to use Kies Recovery or something. And I can't get Kies to connect to it. My PC sees it. Samsung USB drivers install. Kies sees it plugged in but just lays there saying CONNECTING. I paid like $400 for this turkey for my wife for Christmas and now she's yelling at me that I blew it up.. I guess I can keep trying Kies but it's looking fail so far. This really stinks. I bought it on Amazon. It's supposed to have a 2 year warranty. It's Unlocked International Version with Warranty. But I don't know what country?

I don't have any recovery anymore. It boots to a small failed update message. It's toast unless I can get Kies to work somehow.

there is a way to use Kies to get Stock on there.. It involves typing in the words of your model or something like that./
maybe someone here can remember better than I.
On the Note, Ive seen it alot. there is a certian way that you have to type in the make and model and it will stock-ize you.
That is "IF" you can get it to connect to Kies..
I'll suggest you use a different USB cable..
Some will and some wont connect.....
good luck
Why don't you to flash a stock rom with Odin, I think you have dounload mode (as you don't have custom recovery it is the only way) ?
Search YOUR rom on sammobile, or the same level (not possible to doungrade you shall have more problem ! )
Lol this also happened to me but to recover, since you now only have download mode, connect it to Odin on your PC and find a brand new firmware. Try the latest versions because that's your best shot of recovering it. It doesn't matter what region you pick as long as that the model number is the same. Do note however that if you fail the flash KNOX will trip up and you will void the warranty. If it doesn't fail, it should boot up to the Samsung logo. If it still bootloops, go into recovery (since it should be there now), and wipe everything. Then your phone should boot up nicely.
Note: New firmware contains KNOX so rooting and installing custom recovery is now dangerous.
