Please give a little more detail what your doing? You could be flashing the wrong stuff...

The s1_odin_20100512.pit and T959UVJFD .tar. is there anything else I need to flash
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

I've only used Odin so I have no input on the AIO tool, but how long is the Odin flash taking? Is the Re-Parition option checked (should happen by default when you select the PIT)?

It takes about 3 mnts and repartiton is check but when its Donne it just bootloops on the samsung screen
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Odin v1.8 is included as part of the toolbox.
Go to the toolbox thread, last post and there is a download of a older version of Odin.
What ROM are/were you coming from?

O try that one 2 and still same result

Coming from stock gingerbread but the phone some how wont connect to the wireless and data so I decide to go back to stock but now it wont turn on :banghead:
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Are you coming from ICS, or Gingerbread? Did you flash the Gingerbread bootloaders by chance?
You could try to find the Froyo bootloaders, use Odin to flash that, and then try to flash the .pit and JFD files to go back to stock. I don't think that should be the problem, but it couldn't hurt. I know you're trying to get back to stock, but you could try to use fishman's odin image for his rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441976
I've used it before, and can verify it's good to go.
Can you get into recovery? You won't have CWR, but I'm just curious if you can even get to the stock Samsung one (like if you were going to root the phone the old fashioned way).

coming from gingerbread .... and try all that already but at the end when the phone try to reboot it saids that une of the its not recognize ... i dont know if that have any thing to do ... but odin can read my phone

I have to ask... your signature says SGH-I997 (Samsung Infuse 4G). I hope you haven't been trying to flash the Vibrant packages on that all this time, heh.

no i have a infuse and a note but these phones is my friends and im trying to fix it for him but seems like i waont be able to do it the good thing its that i stil can get in download mode

Couldn't hurt to try a different usb port on your pc, I have trouble with my faster port. Works fine when I use the standard port.

Maybe try a different version of Odin. I have heard some people have problems with certain versions.

Have you tried Heimdall by any chance? It has worked for me before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278683

Although it shouldn't matter since the flash doesn't touch either of them, maybe try removing the SIM and the external SD temporarily.
I also second ZeroG1's suggestion for Heimdall.

Is it the vibrant 3g (t959) or the 4g (t959v)? They are very different.

Cannot Hear in Phone Calls after Unroot?

I recently unrooted my GS2 i777, but now when I make phone calls (calls do actually connect) I cannot hear on either end. No sound sent, no sound received....
any ideas?
What ROM were you on before?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
some build of ICS. Not sure exactly. I found how to unroot here http://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2/.
Everything should b stock now...or so i think...
Sounds like you might have the wrong modem installed.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
With that unroot file from galaxys2root.com, it had all the files in one .tar (for the PDA slot in Odin) Where would i be able to track down the right modem file?
You could root again and then flash i777 modem and kernel to see if that will help. Are all your touch keys working?
Fyi if you want to unroot, you are beret off useing the sticky on this forum to do so.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ya all the keys are working just fine. It connects to data, and i can send texts, just no voice.
I'm sorry, I'm admittedly a noob and cannot find it in the stickies....lol
just wondering why you decided to unroot?
Anyways if you are unrooted use this to get root back. If you are 2.3.6 you might want to do some reading to make sure this method will work.

Kies does the same on mine. And my Note is stock unrooted.... Kies always asks me to update to the newest version, it appearz to update but when it starts up again, back to phase one

I just called Samsung and they told me to wait 72 breaking hours and then it should work....I've waited long enough for ICS...and now this crap...no other methods worked so i guess im stuck regardless
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
This may have been a test release where they open the flood gates for a short while and then close it again.
I doubt it is due to the massive amount of updates since it was via Kies and not OTA, not many people would check that every day (in my opinion)
Sorry guys. Hopefully something works out soon)
Anyone know why kies keeps saying installing hotfix but wont install. Removed and redownloaded twice. Got link from samsung.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
did you entered your S/N and Model number in cap's? that what i had to do this morning when i updated my phone to ICS, it wouldn't work with lower case letters but when i put it in capital letter it worked.
RE Kies Wrong S/N
When I enter the serial number and model, I get a screen with "Chinese?" symbols and an ok button. When I select OK, it brings me back to the enter serial number and model screen. I've reverted back to original GB radios, and still the same thing.
Any ideas?
After i downloaded kies my phone connected and finished update. Awesomeness

Wierd data issue

I don't know if its my network or the kernel. But after flashing the 4aceskernel last night i enabled the fast charged and left it all night with airplane mode on,so i don't get bother. Now this morning i disable airplane off and fast charger off,and i enable my data and roaming, after that i try to get on play store,and it stock on loading with the circle going around,after couple seconds it says connection timeout. I dint pay attention to it, i left it alone.later on i try to use the Facebook app i couldn't it stock on loanding and after couple minutes it says network error. I went to my browser and search something on Google and it was working. I search the letters b,c,d just to check if it was my network. But it turn out that it wasn't my network at lease that's what I'm thinking.so i had some twrp backups from different ROMs and in all of them it still the same problem. I can use the internet to search even i can use xda and i can download ROMs but i cant use the data on any gapps. Or even the Google voice on the stock,opera,chrome,Firefox,dolphin browser. Not even gmails or Facebook. Yes my apn settings are correct.my accespoint is selected in my network.by the way i use net10. I search on Google about this problem but it just show different problems with the network nothing related to my issue. Help in need! Remember all this happen after flashing the kernel #31. Just to get this clear im not blaming this on the kernel because i don't even know if the kernel have to do anything with this,since I'm the online with this issue .but i came here because this the only thing i flashed last night. Any help will be appreciated guys/girls.

Sounds to me like it is time to use odin and wipe everything back to factory stock. If the issue still persists then it is hardware. If you don't have the problem on stock then it is something you flashed and or restored
I gonna continue to flash zips of any kind that has to do with data.even from other devices. Just looking for a solution to this issue until this phone get sold.

You may want to google "jtag service provider" now.

I think you should try international note ROMs. They never have data issues with them.

Help with Stock Restore

I'll be the first to say it...
I screwed up my phone entirely and I know. But that's neither here nor there at this point.
I'm really just hoping for some serious help at this point.
Thanks in advance.
I was stock ll4 baseband and attempted to run “one click"casual to root/unlock/recovery.
Somehow during this process my phone managed to root but failed to unlock or install custom recovery.
I made it back to home screen and checked for root status to verify.
This is where the bonehead mistakes come in
I then tried to install twrp manually thinking the bootloader possibly unlocked during casual. But it did not.
After trying to boot into recoveryi get a notification that I am running custom software and to return my device immediately to Verizon.
I can't get back to home screen either same message.
I attempted to revert to stock several times using droidstyle method and Odin keeps coming at sboot.bin.
Does anyone out there no wtf I did to my phone?
Please help. Thank you
