Well... I've done it again... But this time I can't seem to unbrick it. I tried to flash hanthesolo's stratusrom but it failed and bootlooped. So I went and tried restore from a backup that had cm7. For some reason it bootlooped again. so I went in to Odin and tried to go back to stock just to get things working again. I failed and ended up going to stock recovery with a bunch of errors. So then I just panicked and tried flashing different combos of pit files and roms and stuff. Now I can boot into cwm. But I still can't restore from an older backup or revert to stock firmware. Any ideas???

I made instructions for the US device. Read them below in the thread. (it is normal that no .tar.md5 are here)
Drivers fail to install. I also can't open heimdall frontend exe. Some dll file is missing or something.

You will need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributables. And put your device into download mode when your are installing the drivers.
I can't seem to find windows visual c++ 2010 for x32. And I did have my player in download mode when I installed the drivers.

Did you use the EXE through rootzwiki with Odin or did you flash through CWM?

From within ClockWorkMod Recovery, restore your Nandroid backup from before you installed the ICS ROM?
You did make a Nandroid backup, right?
If that's not an option, how about reflashing with a stock Odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24507376

What about reflashing from stock via Odin? I added a link to my post above.
What about the EXE prevents the use of CWM Recovery restore? Can't you just install CWM Recovery on it, then restore a previous Nandroid backup?
Yeah i used exe. And i have tried flashing via odin and nothing is working. I could just be doing it wrong. So if you have a idea please give specific directions. I am really missing that overclock kernel right about now. Haha.

After reflashing from stock via Odin, Go back into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

How big is the file that your flashing? Mine is q

Stock Odin Gingerbread is at least 450MB. Not sure what you are flashing.
The image to go back to stock is over 800mb in size found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Pick the right image for your carrier, download it... run odin with your phone plugged in, put the .tar file in the [pda] section of Odin and flash. That should return you back to bone stock. After that then do whatever you did prior to installing ICS.
edit: Personally I never restore apps and whatnot from titanium backup after making such a big change, you never can tell what effect restored apps will have on a fresh install.

This is how I got back to GB. Remember to clear caches after flashing stock. I as well just reinstall all my apps from the store.

You'll get help in the question section, but flash stock in Odin then restore your nandroid that you should've made

You would be better following the instructions when installing firmware ..
Remove battery for one hour charge battery .
Suggest you try flashing a stock rom via Odin .
No download mode then buy USB recovery jig .

Good work phil. I think this can be closed.
I flashed cm10.1 and the gapps package. i found out I flashed the wrong package and i had to clear the system. I forgot to reflash cm10.1 after I cleared the system and now i get stuck on the galaxy s cyanogenmod screen. the button combo to get into recovery doesnt work. I can get into download mode but i cant get heimdall to work. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Happened to me like you. Then look for the Odin 3.14 and a kernel and pass it. keep in mind that it is a risky process. another question, you still has the rom into your sdcard? because if you do not forget to pass, because when you pass the kernel by Odin on it goes straight to CWM

OK, so I was trying to unroot my phone and some how managed to screw it up and now I have a system software not authorize on my screen. I can get to odin mode but I have one minor problem. I cant find a odin program that will install on my pc.... -.- I have files I have dl from other threads to unroot and restore my phone using odin, but when it comes to dl odin files, either the link is no longer available or it wont install. I get some message saying odin3.ini with a bunch of asian symbols after that. Can any one help me on this please.

Odin does not install to your computer, it simply launches.
What OS are you on? If you're on Windows Vista or 7 it should work perfectly, I don't know if it'll work on XP. On Mac I believe you use Heimdall. On Linux you use Heimdall.

The toolkit can be dangerous just because it had an unreleased firmware (it was what Samsung used to test the phone before they started selling it) that was the "return to stock" firmware, and I'm unsure if the creator ever removed it so it still probably has it, and was completely unrootable by all of our exploits, unable to be unlocked, and unable to be flashed in Odin so there is no way to get back to stock.
While the other things in the toolkit haven't had as many big complaints as the "return to stock" feature I still wouldn't use it. If it has that there is no telling what else is going on behind the scenes.

I tried running JOdin on my mac, and it would not recognize my phone on download mode. Right now I'm installing Parallels to see if I can get it to work on windows, on my mac, eh.
update
A little update: So I finally managed to install windows on my mac, and after going through hell and back (Installing kies, etc), Odin finally noticed my phone while it was on download mode, flashing the firmware took like 10 seconds max, and my wifi was fixed.
I just finished flashing N3bula, and so far everything works.
So yea, definitely need Odin on windows to flash the firmware, JOdin wont work, neither will heimdall, nor Mobile Odin
