I bricked my Sprint S3 trying to flash Omega. It wont even turn on no matter what i do, and trust me I have tried it all. So I have found a few vids about usb jigs and how to use them. So if im able to get in download mode what should I push thru odin? Was there or is there a .tar somewhere that brings you back to stock?
someone please help.
Anything you find here will be for the international version, and as you know now, won't be compatible with the us versions.
Try the us versions forums and see if anyone has anything that can help.

Chances are you killed that poor Galaxy S III, R.I.P.
Custom ROMs are meant for the International Version of Galaxy S III (GT-I9300) and if Im correct the one from Sprint is a variant.
The only way to have this fixed is to send it for JTag (Forced Download Mode via Hardware manipulation)
u flash rom which is made for international s3 .. I think that's y u brick

fixboot tar
if you can get into download mode you can flash a tar called fixboot found on the at&t section of the galaxy s3 on this site. It worked for mine when it wouldnt come off of the dreaded download screen with the yellow exclamation triangle on it. Just a thought. it works on the sprint version too.
If you can get a replacement phone though insurance or otherwise.. do that.
otherwise jtag repair from Josh worked but i had no lte coverage.
i am sure he has the updated tools to fix that now. but be carefull out there and learn your phones model number.

Hi everyone.
I had just bought the new Samsung galaxy s2,
the attachment got the screenshot of version of my phone.
now I was doing lot of reading on this forum before I do anything.
then I decided to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320328 rom to my phone.
now as far as I know that 1st step is to take backup of my contacts and phone data.
then copy the zip file to sd card and try to install this rom as per instruction but then I got confused about " Find the best modem for your network"
can somebody help me with this.
right now I don't know anything about android but I am quick Lerner.
can you explain me what this modem does. If I messed with it, will I be not able to connect wifi.
I had seen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593 thread. but I dont know what is all about. If I get some idea them might I will understand more quickly..
thanks hoping somebody will help me.
You have an I9100T model phone.
What they are saying is that each user of their clean and simple Rom may have different results with different modems.
The linked modem thread has good info on users experience around the world and what works best in their region for their carrier, mainly for the I9100 model.
Many users in Australia are saying that the I9100T model works best with the modem that comes on the 'T' device.
Read that modem thread for more info and I think there is a link in there for the 'T' model modem thread. Also might help to check out the Australian thread. Heaps of I9100T users comments in there.
Good luck.
Edit: I believe WiFi is handled by the kernel not the modem. The modem is more for connection to your carrier.

Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of the SGS2!
Nice choice on first ROM to try out ;-)
first thing you need to do is root your phone and install clockworkmod and superuser. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 is a really great guide and source of the knowledge. That thread is where I started from to learn the ways of android.
regarding the modem: this relates to mobile cell reception rather than wifi. Some different modems work better than others, latest is not always best. The modem can also be network carrier dependant.. Network 3 optimised have always been the best for me. Modems can be flashed and tested fairly easily once your accustomed to your rooted phone and using cwm(clockworkmod).
Hope this helps!
thanks for the reply guys.
now I am going to play with my phone 1st time.
now I want to know if I messed up something. if there are option to restore the phone to its default level or not.
thanks waiting for answer.

1. The yellow triangle is present because you flashed a unofficial kernel. There is a way to remove it in the thread OR you can buy a jig off eBay and just plug it in.
2. Did you set the connection settingin the notification bar/ settings? You can also try to reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Thanks for reply guys. I fixes the usb prob and order the jig form ebay. Thx

but I dont know how to use it,
I try to search some tutorials from net but didnt get any. can anybody help me. please...
This is what intratech said about halfway down the 3rd post in his official firmware thread.
***********
If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader (Yes both will work) section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter:http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD

Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?

I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

hi
i got a gt-i9108
anyone know how i can root it ?
i can't go into download mode.
pull of battery and sim card, pull on baterry (dont pull on sim card) press V- power and home atthe sametime and u can enter into download mode
But apparently i9100 kernels and firmwares will NOT work on the i9108. Someone in another thread just tried an i9100 kernel in an i9108, and it did not end well for him.
Edit to add: according to this link that I found with my handy dandy googling skills, the i9108 uses the same SoC/chipset that the i9100G uses. So DEFINITELY don't use any i9100 kernels or firmwares.

Please re-read the posts above.
Chainfire doesn't have any I9108 kernels.
Supposedly, the I9108 and the I9100G use the same SoC/chipset, so a kernel for the I9100G MIGHT work, but I wouldn't want to actually recommend it to anyone to try.

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Tried to return to stock. It finishes download and reboots phone, but then the screen freezes at the galaxy s2 logo. I have to re-enter download mode to get off that screen. The phone never boots up after that. I need a link to a .tar file for a rom so I can flash through odin.

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

That might be, but that doesn't change the fact that the device you are working with is an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710), and not an I9100. I9100 users will typically not be able to help you, and files in this forum will not get you out of the situation you have created by doing just that; using a file from this forum, on a device that it was not meant for.
You will find many E4GT users have done the same. They were all likewise directed to the correct forum.
