hello,
my phone is acting wierd
it boots till that yellow caution incon then again restarts
i was on rootbox and installed cm7 and not booting to recovary but can boot into download mode
after rebooting this happed
some one please help me
thank you
Are you still on CM7?
Does it still go into recovery? Have you tried clearing data/cache?
How much battery was it on when this happened? If low leave it charging for a bit and then try it on whilst charging.
Try a stock samsung firmware if anything else fails to let it boot.
Hi
what i did is
used rom cleaning script and installed CM7 and gave reboot
phone turns on till that yellow triangle (main screen where samsung S2 comes) and restarts
cant go to recovary mode
from where can i download odin flashables?
should i try flashing with odin is it safe?
please im not in position to buy a phone
Have you tried to go to the stock rom first?
1. Download the stock rom of your phone. 4.0.3
2. Download Odin
3. press the sleep buttom, home buttom and the volume up.
4. wipe the cache and do a factory reset after that turn off your phone. (alternative)
5. Press sleep buttom, home buttom and volume down then you'll get to download mode.
6. put in the usb cabel on your phone and the pc.
7. Then it will connect to the pc and odin.
8. extract the stock rom and have it on your desktop.
9. now on odin press on PDA and select the file.
10.now press start.
Everything should go smooth so after that you can install cf root and if you did a backup you can restore it, unless you had it on the internal storage.
(dont forget to do a nandroid or cwm backup before installing rom into your external storage!
i dont know from where i can get odin flashables
i called my phone and got build info
Android 4.0.3
IML7K.XWLP7
DDLPA
My phone : I9100
Country : India
Thank you
If you skip the recovery part you should be able to restore internal backup
Did you wipe data when you flashed cm7?
Its necessary.

Somebody help this guy quick! He's in the wrong section!
You can download odin flashable's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 and here: http://www.samfirmware.com/ and also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Try to flash an ROM from India, or if you flash a ROM from a different country or region and you have problems with your network you can try and flash a modem which works specific in India
if you want the stock rom just go to samfirmware.com and download there unfortunately i cant send the link because i need to post 10 posts
Dont forget you need to sign up an account on samfirmware to download firmware
Think u need this one

Hello all. I have had Shostock3 for a while now and read that if you use the Siyah Kernel with it then it is an awesome combo. Well I downloaded the kernel and went to install it through CWM and now I have a big problem. I chose to reboot and install the kernel and when I did I am now STUCK at the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100" with the yellow triangle. I have let it just sit and see what it does but it goes no where. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! HELP! Thanks all!
Samsung Galaxy S II i777
Running Shostock3
WAS running with default kernel that comes with Shostock3
EDIT: It doesn't seem that I can get into the recovery mode either. I am trying the volume button + power button combination and having no luck....

Is the name of the file that I tried to put on. Should I try to get the one that you stated and put it on via download mode? Because it seems that I can get into download mode but that's about it. I can't get into recovery.

Hold power button plus volume up and volume down, keep it held in until you boot into recovery. Recovery won't just disappear, normally people just aren't holding them in long enough or are using the wrong button combo. Let us know if you get back up and running. Also make sure when installing the siyah kernel you're following the OP directions to the letter.

I can't get into recovery. I simply cant. I hold the buttons, correctly might I add, and then the logo appears, then goes away and I am left with nothing but a blank, black screen. The bottom buttons aren't even lit.
Possible hardware failure on your power button or one of your volume buttons I supposed. Have you tried flashing a siyah.tar file in odin to get a.different usable recovery?

If you could link me a Siyah kernel that is in a .tar format I would be appreciative.
Dude do as Phalanx says. Vol up+Vol down+ Power and even after the logo goes away dont release the buttons. Recovery will show up.

Either that or if you get adb up an running on your computer, hook up your phone via usb and type (this is for mac, may be slightly different for other os's):
adb root
adb reboot recovery
and voila! your phone boots up in recovery!
can't get past boot screen on siyah 5.0.1
I spent all the time I could thinking I had this but apparently I don't!
Have AT&T Samsung i777 running the latest stock 4.1.2 that I got from Kies.
Wanted to try my hand at custom roms.
Was able to root phone using flamaroot which gave me SU ability
Bought Mobile Odin pro, downloaded Siyah .tar file and put it on SD.
Flashed it with mobile Odin.
Because I'm an idiot, I was hoping to make a rom backup after flashing.
Now, it boots "Samsung" then the Siyah screen, then goes blank.
I can get into CWM recovery but without a backup rom to restore to I'm not sure what to do.
Also, can get into Download mode which reads:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I777
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
However, it reads downloading, but I do not believe there's anything to download and it's been like this for 20 minutes
ANY ideas on what I could or should do would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where did you get the Siyah 5.0.1 in tar format? It sounds like you tried to flash a kernel that is not compiled for your phone. You need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777.
If that is the case, then you should be able to recover by flashing a good kernel using Odin, if you can find a tar version, or just flash the 4.1.2 stock firmware with Odin, which you can get from the Download Repository or from sammobile.com/firmware or Samsung-updates.com.
But first, since you can get into recovery, try performing a wipe data/factory reset to see what happens.

Thank you so much for helping me! First of all, I used your post, "Odin3 One-click Downloaders for Stock and Stock + Root" and was able to follow those steps to get me back to 2.3 and then I connected back to Kies to get back to stock 4.1.2. SO, I am completely back where I started a week ago, but I have a phone that works thanks to you!!
To answer your question: because I was using Mobile Odin, it only recognized .tar files and I found one on Siyah's blog (gokhanmoral) which was categorized under "sgs2 kernel".
So I'm back to the start (actually did the unrooted one so I don't even have it rooted currently). However, with all the reading I've been doing on this forum, I can't shake the desire to use a custom rom. I know I'm very much a noob and probably should make myself happy with my phone, but I wanna give it another try. I understand with my following questions if I'm posting in the wrong area and cannot have my questions answered.
Here's where I'm stuck. I know I need to make a custom recovery (cwm or twrp I'm not totally sure) before flashing a custom kernel and then rom. But I just can't figure out how to do it. When I go into recovery (holding volume buttons and power), there is not option for "backup and restore". How can I get a backup of my current rom so I can start with the other stuff?
The order as I understand it:
1. root phone
2. install cwm or twrp in order to create a backup of current rom
3. flash a custom kernel
4. flash a custom rom (that is compatible with kernel)
Thanks so much again for all your help!!

OK, glad your're back to working. The Siyah kernel you flashed is for the GT-I9100, the international version of the Galaxy s2. As I said, you will need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777, so get your kernel from the I777 Android Development Forum.
Next, you can also use a straight zImage file with Mobile Odin. You don't have to have a tar. You can even download a ClockworkMod flashable zip file and use an archiving tool such a Win Zip or 7Zip to open it and extract the zImage from it. Then use that to flash through Mobile Odin.
You currently have the stock 3e Recovery, which does not have a backup facility, nor the ability to flash custom firmware (unless it is signed by Samsung.) So you need to install a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery (or TWRP Recovery will also work.) By the way, those are just different developers versions of almost exactly the same recovery functions, so it doesn't really matter which you use.
For a kernel, go to this post in the development section and download the third of four which is titled "AJK v2.0.5 NO-SWAP Samsung." As I said above, extract the zImage from the zip and use that to flash in Mobile Odin.
Also on this phone, recovery and the kernel are not separate, they are one unit, so you install the kernel to get the custom recovery. Your steps 2 and 3 are incorrect. Remove step 2 entirely. Step 3 will install both the kernel and the custom recovery. In step 4, you can flash any custom firmware you want. They all come with an included kernel, so it doesn't matter what kernel you start with because after you flash you will have a different kernel anyway.
And finally, don't worry about backing up the stock firmware. If you mess up the flash, or soft brick the phone, you can just reinstall stock as you did before. After you have a custom firmware installed, and have your phone configured exactly the way you want it, then is the time to make a backup, because you can flash to a different custom firmware to try it out, and if you don't like it, you can restore your backup and be back to exactly where you were.

Wow, excellent information and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help me out. My last question hopefully, and I don't mean to try your patience but what is the best way, would you recommend, to root my phone? I did it with flamaroot previously but it was temporary? Thanks!
Kurt
I have no experience with 4.1.2 and framaroot since I'm running Shostock3. No one who has used that method has said anything about it not being a permanent root. Why do you think it's not permanent?
I think it will be fine. Anyway after you root you're going to install a custom kernel followed immediately by a custom firmware which will be rooted. So even if it wasn't permanent it wouldn't matter.

First off, this forum is not for your phone, it is for the SGH-I777 AT&T Galaxy SII, so we don't know the specifics of your phone.
Following the above procedure will put your phone into download mode, where you can flash the firmware you linked.
Since you say you don't know how to use it, I am going to post a complete set of instructions for using Odin that I wrote some time ago. Bear in mind that this is for the I777, and you will have to adjust some things to make it work for your phone. Refer to the flashing instructions in the thread you linked.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) 3.) 4.) Put your phone into download mode.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
If after the successful flash your phone does not boot into the firmware, then perform a hard reset. I don't know your phone, but normally you would boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
hi all, ive downloaded this custom rom (xaiomi rom for samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505) and ive followed the step by step to install this new rom (yep, im still a noob to this) and now my phone seems to be stuck on the start up. im not sure what i did wrong because i made sure the rom was for my device. i used CWM to install it via ROM manager and now its stuck, i done what it told me to do like do a factory reset (i done that with cwm) and backed up all my data with TIBU but its just stuck, any ideas on what i should do? ive tried the battery pull and tried to boot into cwm recovery but it says in little blue writing *booting* or something like that but then it just returns to start up and freezes :/ thanks in advance
Please help asap!!!
please help me because i dont have a computer and im at my friends house leaving soon and i want to fix this before i go!!!!!
Get a stock rom and flash it via odin.
1) download Odin
2) download your stock rom
3) boot into download mode by holding volume down+power
4) connect the phone to your pc
5) where Odin has the PDA button, click and add your stock rom
5) click start.
If your computer picks up your phone, Odin will say "connected" and show yoyr device.
Hope this helps.

If you have root, download an app called flashify from the play store, and use it to flash this file,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/foh6ps3tt1wb7ga/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltespr-4.4.img
You must be on TouchWiz KitKat for this to work.
What you're experiencing is most likely recovery loops. It occurs when going into recovery when mashing all 3 buttons for too long (home + volume up + power).
If flashing from Odin, let go of the power key as soon as it begins to go into recovery. Otherwise it'll keep forcing into a strange horizontal screen line, continuously, or go into system.
Good luck!

Ok so I got flashify and found the flash twrp option and I did it my phone went into bootloops I dont know why but to fix it I just odin flashed cf-auto-root and that got me out of the loop. I also dowmloaded the file from where you said but it comes out as a disk to burn and is not read by odin. hope you understand! Still need some help!!!! Please.
Here is another way to try, first what version of Odin are you using? I use version 1.85 her is the link http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 instead of twrp I use Philz CWM recovery version 6.12.9 the latest for Sprint, here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hltespr/ download the .tar file to the desktop of your PC. Do you have Samsung drivers installed on you PC? Here is the link http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers download and install on PC.
Now lets get started, first pull the battery on the phone, reinstall, reboot device in download mode ( press and hold volume down, power button, and home button at the same time till mode starts, then press volume up to continue ) now start Odin on desktop, then click on PDA a box will come up click on desktop, then click on the .tar file, it should come up in the box next to PDA. Now connect the phone to your PC via a USB cable. A box in the upper left hand corner of Odin will light up COM: doesn't matter what color or number just shows a connection is made. Now click start, and wait till its done it will say pass. If the device doesn't reboot, unplug and reboot device. Now power off and boot into your new recovery. ( Press volume up, power button, and home button at the same time till you see some text on the top of the device then let go )

There is no reason to use the auto root package.
Just flash the NC5 tar, then Odin TWRP.
Follow the instructions on my NC5 tar thread.
Latest TWRP tar is here...

After flashing the above, dive straight into recovery using your phone's hardware buttons (volume up + home + power, then let go of only the power button after you start to reboot).
From there, flash one of the pre-rooted roms on the dev forum, or just the latest root zip, here,

Good luck!

Hi,
I'm a new member here, I've been reading this site for a while and I can't seem to figure out how to root my phone. It is my first time rooting a phone, so I'm not 100% sure whether I'm doing it right, but so far I've tried several things and none seems to be working.
It gets stuck in a boot loop and never goes out. Once I got it stuck on the boot and it wasn't looping, but it was stuck.
I tried CF Auto Root and UniKernel v8 and v9. With v9 it was stuck on the booting, no loop. Anything else is boot looping me. I've been trying to root my phone for quite some time but I can't get it done anyhow.
I would appreciate help on this as I really need to root my phone because an application I need to use requires root. Also I'm kinda getting scared when my phone gets stuck. I don't want to hard brick it.
Best regards,

Any information on this topic? Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to get root is by flashing a custom recovery through odin. After that you can root your device by installing the latest Super Su and a compatible kernel through the custom recovery. Here is link to the thread. Download the zip files to your phone first.
You need to download odin to your pc and install the latest Samsung USB drivers. Reboot your phone into download mode and then in odin select the twrp_5.1.1_edge.tar as AP and uncheck auto-reboot and then press start. When odin is finished press volume down + home + power until the screen goes off. Press volume up + home + power when the screen is off and the phone will boot into the custom recovery and there you can install the zip files found in the thread.
Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. I have read the thread and I found one reply which is holding me back from doing it.

Is this going to work for my model number?

No wait it won't, i misread your title. You need twrp for the g920f. Your in the wrong forum here, this is the g925f forum but it's the same procedure. You only need the latest twrp flashable .tar package for your device here instead of the one in the post and use Unikernel found here. And than the supersu zip and that's it
