(Q) No download mode, Odin only. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on XDA.
Rode the iOS bus for awhile.
Long story short I went and bought a i-777 earlier today and I did a factory reset via the settings menu then proceeded to do a hard reset to clean the phone out.
I pressed and held the volume down button and pressed and released the power button. A warning about a custom OS popped up and I proceeded and it took me into a screen that said "Odin" at the very top.

Now, I bought this phone through a second hand electronics store and I'm wondering if this phone has been improperly rooted and I just picked up someone else's headache.
If that's the case I plain on returning it.

You about phone screen looks like the phone has stock Gingerbread installed. UCKK6 was the update version. The phone originally shipped with UCKH7. Yours may have been updated over the air, or later models were shipped with UCKK6.
I've never heard of the button configuration that you describe for this phone. I tried doing the same thing, holding down vol- and short press the power button, but the phone just booted normally. But then I am running a custom ICS rom.
Boot the phone into download mode: with the phone off, hold both volume buttons, but not power, and plug in the usb cable. When you get the warning screen, use the volume up button to go to the download screen. Look at the flash counter information at the top of the screen. That will tell you if the phone has been modified. (Unless they followed my guide on flashing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter, lol.)
Even if the phone has been modified, that doesn't necessarily mean it has been damaged.

"Odin Mode
Product name: sgh-1777
Custom binary download: no
Current binary: Samsung official"
Is what I'm looking at, then it has Andy and "downloading....do not turn off target!!"
I just wana make sure that is what I'm supposed to see..

Your phone appears to be stock and to have never been modified. What you are seeing is exactly what would be expected of a phone right out of the box.

Good Odin threw me off.
My other problem is now I'm rooted with broken wifi, running around I'm circles trying to figure this one out. :/
Tried flashing cm7 stable with no success to rid of this stock rom and modified kernal that provides root access.

LOL. I wish you were wrong as well, lack of patients got to me and it was a quick way to.get root access.
Just read about a kernal cleaning script that I hope works.
And I read that rom manager sucks too. Yikes the times have changed.

No I've been trying in recovery only. I used my PC earlier to download cm7 then moved it to my phone.
Wipe/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik
Then proceed to flash ROM and get some kind of a signature failure..

Downloading their "unroot" tar now to flash in Odin, which should put me back on 2.3.4 which I beleive the original root method was designed for.
Once back on 2.3.4 im going to try and re-root and see how it goes from there, hopefully I can resolve this with out going through extreme mesaures. See kids, this is perfect example of "I didnt take my time to read and reseach before I started pushing buttons." LOL
I just wanna run CM7 dammit!

Yes, zedomax kernel screws over a lot of people. Wish there were some way to warn unsuspecting folks. Actually, the zedomax unroot causes more problems than the rooting kernel.
Glad you've got everything going. Now, just read a few minutes every day, and before long, you'll be up to speed.

Well glad I didn't unroot then. Lol
Got cm7 running like the old days, used to have a aria, captivate, inspire and nexus s. Feels good to be back.

Flashed Kaosfroyo v32. Now have no service, please help!

Hello all. I am new to these forums, and to rooting. Right now I am at a loss for what to do about my phone. I was running 2.1 when I did the one click root for the Droid Eris. When asked to load the rom from a zip file, I loaded Kaosfroyo v32. After rebooting, the phone was on a bootloop at the ANDROID loading screen. Not knowing what to do, a guy I work with Hard Reset the phone. After that I was able to get into Froyo, but now every single time I reboot the phone it asks me to activate my phone. No matter how many times you activate it, the phone has no service through Verizon. At this point I just need to get my phone at a point where it is usable again. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.

That just did the exact same thing as before. It says it is activated and wait ~15 minutes for wireless signal, however there is no connection.
Goto wireless settings and change to automatic or whatever is the third/last choice. That should work.

Try booting into recovery and doing a full wipe and then re-flashing the rom.

Amon is Amon Ra Recovery. The black screen with the green colored text. You boot to Amon Ra Recovery by turning your phone off then pressing and holding down Volume down + Power. Hold it until you see the black screen with green texts.

Yea that's the one. Wiping there wont require your phone to be re activated. Once you get it working you can do a backup from that screen as well so next time you'll be able to restore if you have any problems.

Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly: This page says:
Select Wipe-->Wipe Dalvik , then do Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Correct?
Yup then flash over the 2.1 rom and when it loads up and you go to program the phone it will allow to bring up they keypad so you can press the one key when it makes the call from *228 then once your phone is programed, reboot to amon do a nand backup, and wipe data and davlick. After that flash kaosfroyo.

You need a custom recovery.. sounds like your trying to flash using the stock system recovery. Best bet is to flash a kernel like entropy's or siyah. Both have working CWM..

Download the latest Odin.. I believe its v1.85 maybe
Then put the kernel file (I believe it will be in .tar format.. this you need to double check) in the kernel slot. But there should be plenty of how-to's all over the place. But if you got download mode, flash a kernel via Odin on your PC and I think that will fix yuh!
Sorry, on my phone and can't provide links

frozen wet nerf brick?

Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.
Gonk
When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

Only problem here is my inability to boot into TWRP. I can get into ODIN download mode and that is it. I keep reading the warnings of using ODIN after using CASUAL. Now I'm a little worried.
These are the only 2 screens I can get to, besides the note II hang.

Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.

HTC Recovery Issue

I am not really sure how to explain what is going on so I made a video to kind of show.
Sorry it is shaky I was holding my camera and trying to use the phone at the same time.
So I did the HTC Unlock Bootloader thing about 2 months ago and I have been stuck with a phone that will not update or anything anymore.
I got fed up with trying to get it to work so I have just been using the phone as is, but it is getting slow and buggy on me so I would like to finish the rooting or get it back to stock or something.
When I boot into recovery as you will see nothing works.
HTC has an update right now on my phone and if I download and go to install the update it reboots into recovery and there is an error saying it could not mount the internal storage or something so update was aborted.
I was hoping someone could watch this video and then point me in the right direction of what to do next.
I tried to get a good shot of the recovery screen so you could see S-ON and the versions n junk.

Thank you guys!
The first problem is CWM does not play nice with the Evo 4G LTE you need to use TWRP.
If you want to take the OTA Update you will need to re-lock your bootloader and install a stock recovery.

^This. You've most likely borked your misc partition with CWM, so you'll need to fix that at some point. As for the rest, you can either do as Bigdaddy says, or install TWRP recovery and flash a ROM.

I downloaded GooManager and attempted to install TWRP. It said it installed but when I rebooted in to recovery it was still using CWM.
Any thoughts on how to force this install? Also when I tried to reboot into recovery using the GooManager app it would not reboot.
I will keep fussing with it and see if I can get TWRP to install.
Oh Bam! I got TWRP working.

BAH... Wont reboot back into the System.. Cycles twice and then goes back into TWRP Recovery.
EDIT EDIT: Ok.. So I got some of it fixed.. I ended up getting this Sense 5 ROM installed.. now I am installing this CM 10.2 ROM which seems to be working..
I just can't figure out why CM 11 wont install.

You probably have the wrong twrp for cm11. You need to use the recovery that is in the first post of the cm11 thread. To install it you'll need to do fastboot flash recovery.
You can get it from the first post here

Yeah I noticed I do have the wrong recovery for it.
I will attempt to install the one for CM 11..
Any idea why this Sense 5 ROM I am using will make phone calls but will not send any SMS's to anyone? Just keeps saying failed...
I kinda dig this Sense 5 ROM.. I have not been able to figure it out.
EDIT:
Got the new TWRP.img file installed.. I had a hard time doing it in Terminal Emulator so I just downloaded a freaking app that installed custom recoveries.
So it successfully installed CM11.. Now I am sitting here waiting for it to boot up.
I have the logo spinning around and around.. I hate these boot animations cuz I can never tell if it is stuck in a boot loop or if it is just working hard.
So I will give it 15/20mins.. Then I am not sure wtf to do other than go back to Sense 5.. Which I installed for a second time and I still could not get SMS to send or receive.
Glad you got it to boot.
If it's spinning it will probably boot up.
Since you did moonshine you should have been able to install the recovery with fast boot.
It's a good practice to have.

Yeah CM 11 finally booted up.
I can make phone calls but I cannot send or receive SMS. Same issue I was having with the Sense 5 ROM.
I have been through all the settings I can find and nothing has worked yet.. Any ideas what might be wrong?

After you did moonshine did you make a call on sense and use the self activate feature in settings?

Yes I did.
When I loaded into the Sense 5 ROM it did not have any of my Profile Information so I could not use the phone with out doing the activation thing.

Hmm. I don't know then. I never tried any of the sense 5 ROMs.
Personally at this point I would flash stock rooted, then self activate, update prl and profile, then call sprint and ask them to refresh my connection with them.
Then verify everything works, create a backup of that, and then go back to cm11.

Alright sounds like a plan! Not a fun one though haha!!
Thanks for the advise!
Turns out I just needed to update to the latest firmware!

Having a problem with my phone status

This is what happen been messing with it going back and forth between Jasmine and stock. Well I flashed the stock .tar with odin and then it won't read my sim card anymore and I can't get flashfire to work. The phone status shows custom no matter what I do. Have odin the OB6 and OF1 stock shows an unlocked lock saying custom on boot screen..I did triangle away and that went away for a little bit then came back after a few restarts. And when I root it fails, when I did have the root I'm the stock it wouldn't let me flash. I'm kinda lost now, anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, but if you can't flash any official firmware with odin looks like a motherboard problem to me.

Did you try to go to recovery and wipe cache partition then wipe data/factory reset ?

I can flash the official firmware..that's what it's on with it saying it's custom. That's why I'm not understanding. I did wipe those.

I flashed on Odin the stock one, should t that revert the firmware? If not what do I do?
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I take it this is also causing my sim card problem as well. It does not say insert sim card or anything, only when I go to the mobile data toggle it says to insert one.

Stock 1?
You should flash the original firmware from keis or from this page :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900V/
and start all over again, that should fix your problems.

I believe that's from verizon or Knox when using the root method of 1.tar and 2.tar, try this one instead : http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/ob6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569 after you back to original stock, this is the best method so far, and you will not get any strange warnings.
Ya it is, Knox

Yeah I did and it's still says custom..wouldn't let me root. Thing is is that pop up was Knox and said to reset I think that would set it back, cause before I flashed the firmware from SM I did a factory wipe then I'm download mode it said official..but after I flashed the firmware it says custom again lol. I'm gknna. I'm setting the phone back up now and waiting to see if that pops up again. My sim card hasn't been in the phone pretty much all day. Been in my g3. since the note won't read it as of now and yes I've tried putting pressure on the sun cause I know they had problems my other 2 old note 3's had that problem. This happen last Night when I was messing around before bed that's why I didn't mess with it too today.. Sorry and thank you guys for the help again

Don't do anything yet after flashing , you still have your old data on the phone, now go to recovery and do some wipes, wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset and that should fixed.
