Epic Fail. Please do NOT send him or anyone to that website or YouTube videos from zedomax. It has caused more problems than solved and all his stuff has been axed from xda. He doesn't care that his methods mess up a lot of peoples phones then they come here asking for help. If there was a thumbs down button I would push it for u. OP please read the stickies in the development section and please stay within xda for any questions you might have

Try putting your phone in DFU mode and connecting it to Windows Media Player, it worked on my Symbian device so I don't see why it won't work on your model i777 blackberry device.
Cheers man.

Well .. I never had any kind of issues when following Zedomax's methods.. and I think it'd be better if you just give poor lad some better advices, if you think mine's worse.. then just criticisizing one's methods

I've only been here for a little while but a majority of noobs that register here with the specific intent to fix a brick do so because they dl'ed and flashed crap from zedomax and/or galaxys2root.
Did what you flashed have boot loaders? I'd almost say no but who knows. If it did you have to flash a stock Rom with i777 boot loaders. Use Odin. There are plenty of resources here to help, take a look around and have patience. Good . Luck.

Did you seriously just bump your own thread eight minutes after posting it?
@yupitzfreddy,
We can help you out, but you need to post some detailed information. You seemed to be in a hurry at first, but you havn't posted anything in a couple of hours.
You need to get the phone into download mode. With the phone turned off, and your original phone usb cable plugged into your computer, plug the cable into your phone while holding down both vol- and vol+ (but not power). Then press vol+ to enter the download screen. Does that get you into download mode? What does your flash counter, the text at the top of the screen say? You can turn the phone back off by holding the power button for a few minutes.
Let us know how you're doing.
good advice !!!

I'm sure he got a bit disheartened by everyone piling on instead of providing some advice. (Although I understand why people do that)
yupitzfreddy, if you're still out there, follow creepyncrawly's advice and post as much detail as you can.
My guess is he followed that link to GS2Root and is now in a perpetual boot loop or he has hard bricked his phone.
Hoping you make it back to follow creepy's advice,

I'm new to this forum, as i'm new with android based devices and i've come to the conclusion that reading a lot of threads regarding my problem just makes things worst. So here's what's happening with my tablet and hopefully someone will help me, because i dunno what else to do.
I was reading this forum this morning on how to root and change themes and roms and develop. So the first thing i did, i rooted just like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185 . everything went fine, no trouble in the process, but after this i wanted to install one of boosted's themes from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1349862.
After i downloaded the zip, i put in on the root folder of my tablet, entered fastboot, and install it, as i thought that this is the way it should work. But it didn't and now i don't know how to fix all this cause i can't figure it out.
So any help, hints or something to get me through this it's much appreciated. I've read a lot of information for 4 hours now and nothing works and i can't seem to bail out.
Thanks in advance.

Would help to read the most common thread, but yeah. Drain it then fastboot works again. When it bootloops its almost impossible to get it back to fastboot.
I'd goto the overcome ROM thread first and from there follow restore yer tab part on the external page. Actually you may not need to do either if you can hold power and volume down until you get the first Samsung boot screen, continue to hold volume down, but release the power button, and get
into recovery mode.
I think the battery drain method is suggested often when not needed. As you didn't state anything you've tried already and the battery drain takes forever.
I've seen many boot loops and other issues where the drain method gets suggested, but there are much quicker solutions. Even quicker than what I suggested to do first.
Don't get me wrong. The battery drain method has worked many many times and may be needed here. I'm just saying try something easier and possibly faster to fix it first.
EDIT: I actually meant into download mode and Odin will still recognize your device. If you're able to get this far you shouldn't have to wait up to a week for your battery to drain first. I've never had to goto the extreme of draining and only have seena couple cases where it is probably absolutely needed, but a great method to know of if it is needed.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
As i said in the first post, the first thing i've done was to root the tablet. It was ok and then i went on boosted's themes thread and download one of them, copied it to root folder on the sd card and followed the same steps as in root.
Power off=>hold volume down and power on=>entered the left icon not the download mode=> installed the theme from the sd card=>reboot=>END
I mentioned boot loop, but it's more like not booting at all. When i turn the tablet on, it stays on with the samsung logo and nothing happens.
If there's nothing to do, i'll just wait for the battery drain, as long as it lasts and try to enter the first boot screen. if i manage, cause i've never seen it.
It's quite difficult to me to understand you guys, because i'm new to this and i recon that this is one of my biggest mistake, moding something without asking for help and/or get acquainted with android in order to understand how this works.
Now i have to suffer. and hopefully i will prevail.
I'll try to be specific. Power off your tab by holding down the power button a minute out two maybe needed. After powering down press and hold the power button and volume down button, which is the one closest to the power button. As soon as you see ANY LOGO come on screen, keep holding the volume down button , but release the power button. If you see two android icons. Thats great. Using the volume down button select the icon on the right, and press the volume up button. Accept the warning and press volume up again. Connect your tab to the computer, start Odin in administrator, by right clicking the Odin icon on there PC. If Odin recognizes your tab you should be good to go onto getting things back.
Using the overcome re-stocking yer system method uses a pit and repartitions and wipes everything to get you back to stock thus eliminating the need to wait for a battery drain.
Let us know your progress.
You're probably not in as bad as a place as you think and may just need to run through the method you followed the first time to root again.
EDIT AGAIN: Please try this before waiting for your battery to drain. I really doubt waiting that long is needed.

i managed to connect the tablet to pc, start odin3, and now?! what rom do i have to download/install and how exactly? can you link me to a thread. i've searched and download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250 but i'm not sure. i'm stuck here. help?!
Got your pm. Hopefully you're getting back on track.
It's great where you can still get to Odin and it recognizes your tab.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
But wait, there's 2 ways in which Odin recognizes your tab
1) In download mode
2) adb
I just hope it hasn't recognized your tablet in adb mode or the flashing would fail
I'm pretty sure from what he told me it was correctly recognized to use the overcome revert to stock instructions and files.
But we'll have to wait for a reply to see if he succeeded. Just panicking and undo worried being the first time he's ever rooted I believe.
I can't see flashing a theme causing enough damage to result in needing a battery drain. I guess it's possible if some really silly procedures were followed.
Having been there, done that, I don't feel promoting the battery drain as a first resort is being very responsible with trying to help. I think it makes people with lesser problems, than requiring a battery drain, feel even worse and really thinking they've REALLY MESSED UP BAD.
I think it should be an option, being a great one for when all else fails. Just not thrown out there as a first choice fix for everything.
Mostly it seems many problems are just from a missed or step not executed correctly leaving the person with the problem in the middle of a root or ROM install stuck as to what to do next since the how to posts are so prominently issuing the "I'm not responsible if your house explodes using this method!" statements. It makes people think if one thing doesn't go just as described they are doomed or must take overly drastic measures to be OK. There's usually quicker fixes than the battery drain with the smaller problems and I think they should be suggested before the battery drain.
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying anything its wrong with the battery drain you suggest so adamantly and often. I only feel it shouldn't be suggested as a first method of how to fix everything, every time something goes wrong during a root process or ROM, theme install.
There are many cases where it is the only or best thing to do but not in "most" cases.
I hope I never have to use it, or even tell someone I think they need to, because the waiting would kill me if I had just finished a charge, but again it's great to know it's there just in case.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
It's all good Benz Thanks , Just trying to point out thought that in some cases the tablet may boot into fastboot which makes things alot easier than the drain method, but then 70% of people who are on the Q&A section often can barely even get to fastboot anymore, Just wanted to know if he could get to that mode, everything falls dandy from there
Thanks for not taking that the wrong way. I was worried.
I also think the different terms describing the the same things are an issue. Like fastboot. I don't use the term but it means the same thing as other terms I do use. Nobodys fault, but it tends to confuse noobs. Even me sometimes. LOL :what:
Actually, I will always consider myself a noob, cause I'm lucky to keep up with thing and never seem to get ahead of the game. Just too old I guess.
I was ahead of the game for a couple years, but that was over 15-20 years ago.

Unfortunately, being in this mess, made me rush into things and now i'll be gone for 2 or 3 days until i'll come back home and deal with this.
Thanks benz for your messages, thanks misledz. As soon as i'm onto this i will reply to you guys, as i am pretty sure something will go wrong. If not, well...i'll be sorry that i can't get you guys to a beer or somethin'.
Thanks again and have a great weekend. And sorry for being a pain in the arse.

Hey guys... there are a lot of threads in here talking about Power Button not working on Galaxy Nexus and many other devices, but I couldn't find one about i777. I've had a lot of trouble with this, and I wanted to share how it started and how I finally got it to work back again (this was an unique case, none of the workarounds found could help me out).
First, my i777 was rooted and I always had Cyanogenmod on it. Since early CM9 builds to latest nightlies of CM10 (no stable version yet).
It always worked really fine for me (I live in Brazil), nothing to complain, but then I started to use CM updates to keep up with the latest nightlies and... BOOM, after another nightly my power button was off. It also didn't work on CM recovery screen!
First I tried using volume rocker to wake the device and locking widgets to lock it back again, But it never worked, the volume buttons only woke up my phone when they wanted to.
I also tried ButtonRemapping app, but it didn't work for me either. It was really frustrating, I spent days on it and started thinking it was a hardware problem, until I found a guy telling that wiping and reflashing a ROM could do the trick.
In order to accomplish that (I'm not familiar to ADB), I flashed ClockWork recovery Touch version (paid $2 for it, no problem) so I could select anything on recovery screen since the default selection button (Power Button) wouldn't help me out.
I re-flashed CM9 stable (thought it could be a CM10 issue), but again I had no results. Wiped it all over again, re-flashed CM9 again and nothing! No response from my power button.
I Then I tried CM10 nightly build. Nothing again. I was starting to give up and assuming it was a hardware issue
I Finally I decided to flash a SuperNexus ROM that I found here on XDA, Seemed very trustable, very nice comments about it. Again, nothing did the trick. I even tried to edit the key mapping files (under /system) but it was so hard I gave up on that.
I Suddently, after a few hours using SuperNexus ROM, I booted the device into recovery and the damn button started to work. The thing is that I don't know which event triggered the button to work back, I don't even have a clue of that. It simply started working back again, and since I see a lot of people complaining they can't get it back, I imagine that flashing a different ROM may help. Just wondering...
I A tip: DO NOT USE batch Titanium Backup to recover your apps. It simply replaces ClockWorkMod with default mode (non-touch) and I had a really hard time booting my phone again.

LOL You could have gotten CWM Touch for free which sticks as long as you don't flash another kernel.
My power button failed recently, but my phone was under warranty. If you can access recovery, you can return it to stock and prepare it for warranty exchange, if yours is still covered, which is what I'm doing. Might want to look into it; call AT&T and find out if your warranty is still valid, it never hurts to try. And let me know if that's what you end up wanting to do and I'll try to help you.

There are tutorials about clockworkmod but it's not talking about rom manager. There's a sticky on not using rom manager. Recovery is built into the kernel. So no I'm not ignorant, just informed from reading, something more people should do
For those that experience issues with their power button or just don't want to press it (like me), Smart Screen ON uses the proximity sensor to wake the screen.
i was able to fix my wife's s2 power button by removing the 7 screws in the phone, the sim card and prying on the back piece around the power button with my finger nail. After a little prying and wiggling around the power button it started working again! And yes, I did it with the battery in and the phone powered on. Risky I know, but I didn't want to remove the battery and not be able to power on the phone back on. Plus there hasn't been a warrenty or insurance on it for long time. Must have got some dust or something in there, strange considering it stays in a case even when I owned it
I've done the phone opening and wiggling and I'm getting tired of doing it. Plus sometimes it just doesn't work. Mine just stopped working yet again after a month of working -.- any good solutions or workarounds for this problem?

I assume the only long term solution is to replace it.
Does the i777 use the ribbon power button like the i9100 or the soldered one?
Thanks.
Had this same issue. If you can get the button working long enough, flash a siyah kernel which uses a touch recovery then make sure you never change it. If you switch roms, just flash the siyah kernel again right afterward..I use the swipe to wake option on Stweaks, then added a screen lock widget to my home screen so i can wake and lock my phone without the button. My button is currently working but I try to avoid using in case it feels like breaking again.
Also, if your phone is awake when you pull the battery, i will start automatically when you put the battery back in (at least mine always does) so you can technically power on and off like that as a last resort and get into recovery without the button as well. Just pull the battery, then hold volume up/down and replace the battery. keep holding the volume buttons until you see recovery. You need a touch recovery to do anything once your'e in there though.
The button appears to be a soldered piece though the vids i've found are for the 9100.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfNVmZ924Xs
found the part for the 9100 is GH59-10916A and i found it here- http://www.samsungparts.com/Products/Parts_and_Accessories/PID-GH59-10916A.aspx?model=
i emailed customer service but they couldn't tell me if it would work on a i777 or not. Haven't opened mine up yet to see.
Thanks. I'm seeing siyah in my future. It's actually my son's, now. It does NOT use the ribbon style button. I opened it and it is a block style but not the 4mm wide one you see on ebay and other places. I actually ordered one of those and when it came in, I saw that it was too small. The one in the i777 is actually 4.7mm wide and has three conductors on the back side. The other problem I see facing if I could even locate the proper switch, is room to fit the soldering tip between the switch and the sim socket(I think that's what was beside it).

Hi all,
This morning I was browsing the web when suddenly the screen froze and the phone didn't respond anymore.
I was forced to remove the battery and replace it again in order to restart my phone.
I restarted the phone, it all went good till the bootscreen started the loop.
I restarted my phone, again.
The booting up goes good, first I see the Galaxy S2 screen, then I see the kernel bootlogo screen, but now it freezes whilst showing the kernel boot logo? (Logo: ''Black eye with the Ying-Yang in the middle and some purple smoke surrounding that eye'')
The phone went off, I saw some minor white lines appearing screen and it just died on me, it didn't respond anymore, it refuses to go on even whilst battery is at 82 %, I tried swapping batteries because I thought that my battery had malfuntioned but that wasn't the case and it didn't work.
I tried recharging my phone but no luck.
It just won't start.
However, I do feel my processor in the back (top-left corner) is getting pretty warm.
What could this be?
I'm running the Resurrection Remix ICS Jelly Bean Rom.
Thanks in advance...

How can I: Re-flash a kernel or a rom or try a different kernel or rom if my phone won't start?
Impossible to enter download-mode if the phone is unable to start wouldn't you agree?

Yes I read what you said but you didnt make it clear that it wouldnt "power" on. What it sounded like from what you wrote is that it wouldn't boot system.
If you want specific/precise replies instead of wasting your own time or that of peoples trying to help you and then been an arse when they dont fully understand because of your lack of clarity then I would suggest been more clear in first place.
In that case...
Have you tried a USB jig?
If you have then its pretty much dead and you have no choice but maybe try and get a JTAG repair or mobo replacement of if its your display getting that replaced. Or if you have warranty ring samsung.

Exactly my point.
These n00bs feel they have some sort of entitlement or this is their official devices support forum and we are all paid to help them.
If these people took time to research their devices/flashing etc they wouldnt have 99% of issues in first place. Then they come on here bypass using search, duplicate posts and when somebody attempts to help them they act like this guy and assume we all have magic mind powers instead of relying on posters been clear when they want help/describe issues.

I appreciate the help, I really do, I was just surprised by your answer Atheist because I clearly said my phone won't start
And that has nothing to do with manners and such MC, you cannot assume behavior through writing without actually hearing me, it's the tone that makes the song my friend, you clearly assume much.
The Atheist, don't take it personal, if you think I might sounded rude towards you and find my clarification not accurate then my excuses, I appreciate your response and help and I want to thank you for it.
Yes, I have tried the Jig, no luck unfortunately. I'm forced to buy myself a new phone and I was thinking the Galaxy Note II as that phone is regarded the best out there, at least that's what I've read of course.
Do you have a clue what the problem might be? I was thinking the ROM caused the issue.
Thank you.

Yes but you fail to understand that "phone wont start" could mean one of 2 things (Because most people are never clear)...
1. Cant get Android to boot.
2. Phone wont power on.
You may have meant number 2 but there are plenty others who use same words who simply mean they cant get Android to boot, ie they just get black screen or logo or a boot loop.
It sounds like you have either purchased a faulty device and hardware has failed or you have flashed incorrect rom/kernel/had bad flash and corrupted bootloader.
If you're phone isnt powering on, you have tried different battery, tried jig, left battery out couple of hours and tried again (try that if you havent) then only option is to JTAG (If you have corrupted bootloader etc) or mobo replacement.

Thank you for responding, and sorry for the late reply.
I have purchased my phone at T-Mobile and have it for like 1,5 year now. I have always used the Resurrection Remix Rom which I never experienced any difficulties. 2/3 months ago I updated it to the Jelly Bean rom without any problems at all, just after last week when I was checking my phone it froze on me and after 2 reboots it's just died :/ It won't turn on anymore.
I tried the USB jig, I also left the battery out for a couple of hours, I also tried using a different battery, I thought perhaps my battery was dead but unfortunately none of these ideas worked for me.
My phone is definitely dead, no doubt about it.
I might go for the JTAG but I have no time for all that, it's best that I purchase a new device and I was thinking about the Galaxy Note 2.
If recommend a phone other than the Note 2, please tell, I can then compare the devices and make my decision.
Buy an S II.

Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3 or another S2 would be my choice. Or maybe a LG/Google Nexus 4 however the lack of external storage support is a *****.
I charged my phone over night and used it this morning, I got into work an left it in the office came back a couple of hours later and saw I had a message (led light flashing) tried to unlock it and it wouldnt wake. So i decided to take the battery out and reboot it and after I did that it wouldnt turn on at all. I've left it all day and came home and tried to put it on charge because i thought maybe somehow the battery was drained. Im not sure if its charging because the rom I use (liquid smooth) doesn't use the led light when charging. I don't know if it could be the power button. Is there anything i can do before sending it off to be fixed? I have tried connecting it to the computer aswell but without it being on the computer doesnt recognise anything it connected.

The sudden death issue is covered by warranty.
The internal SD dies and they have no way to know you flashed / rooted it unless they really wanted too.
You should be okay, just a little unlucky
Make sure to update your device to the latest firmwares that include the SDS patch to avoid further problems.

Well if you can`t even go into download mode then it`s unlikely they will even know that you rooted your phone. Just play dumb and do not mention that you rooted your phone. Just say that it died without a reason. Issues like yours do happen even on old Stock Samsung Firmware without Root because of the SD issue.
As Long As They Can Not Access Download Mode They Will Never Know. On My Phone (Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G) When I Go Into Download Mode It Say How Many Times I've Flashed Kernels, Roms Etc So Just Make Sure It's Completely Dead No Recovery No Download Then Call Samsung, Otherwise They'll Find Out You Voided Your Warranty And Then You'll Have To Pay Out Of Pocket, Just Play Dumb When Talking To Customer Support Just Say You Researched This Issue Online And That You Believe You Received One Of The Sudden Death GS3, and They Should Be Able To Help You Just Never Mention Rooting/Custom Rom You Should Be Fine.

Finally someone commented about that, it's kinda annoying and makes your comment extremely hard to read, I personally didn't bother to even read it.
yes you're right things do break and go wrong, just seems weird that I wasn't using it at the time and maybe a text message just set it off. Is there anyway i could possibly salvage anything on my sd card? or will that be alright? I don't want to lose all my pictures and videos.
If you can't get the phone into download or recovery mode then no the internal sd card is fried, the only files you can retrieve will be from the external sd or backups if you have any... sorry.

I have TWRP installed on my LGOG e970, with bootloader unlocked.
I [very recklessly] tried to install MIUI on my phone. TWRP didn't say "Failed" or anything of the sort when it was applied. It said everything went smoothly. I rebooted the system and now the phone won't even boot back into bootloader. If I try to hold the volume up + power button for more than 10 seconds, it starts flashing the power button consistently, but it stops when I let go of the buttons. Computer won't recognize it and I can't get it into Download Mode.
Any help?
Knowing what MIUI ROM you tried to install could possible help. Not that I will be able to though.

If you plug phone into charger, does power button flash rapidly. If so you need to disconnect battery.
3.1.25 off the miui.us website.
no. the phone literally does nothing until i hold the power button [i've found that it's just the power button; volume buttons dont really matter] for more than 10 seconds.

Yeah it wouldn't have even come close to working. Unfortunately, it must have done some serious re-mapping to your partitions. Since you can't get into download mode, there is no chance of LGNPST to stock. Maybe someone in IRC knows a trick but it looks like your phone is toast. Try to get LG to do a warranty replacement. Just say it stopped working.

Can flashing something in recovery actually remap the partitions?
Op, try THIS, sounds like it may help.

I really don't get how he openly admits to flashing a completely wrong ROM. Like how do you manage to unlock, root, install TWRP, find MIUI, and flash it, but have no idea it's bad. The rom he flashed is over 6 months old too, and he just though everything "would magically work." He even works for AT&T you've got to be kidding me.

lol you guys are funny. i've been rooting, jailbreaking, unlocking and developing for 6 years; it's not like i dont know what i'm doing. i figured it'd brick it, but not this bad. you can almost ALWAYS fix a brick. i was just seeing if anyone knows of a solution, since it's a fairly new phone and even newer to me. if you dont push your limits, you dont know how far the phone can go. simple as that. working for at&t has no relevance; there are some technology-stupid reps out there.
if you're gonna make a mess, make sure you can clean it up. no worries, i have a new LG now with zero expense. notice the lack of worry in this thread. moral of the story: don't push your phone when you're drunk!
