I did something I shouldn't. I accidentally flashed a Gingerbread kernel on stock ICS. I was stuck at the boot screen, then flashed a stock Gingerbread ROM. My phone boots now, but I can't get it to upgrade through Kies (I think it's because the baseband is UCLF6). Also, the Contacts and Phone apps crash constantly. At this point I'd just like to get back to stock ICS, I think I'm done rooting for today.
Kernels have to match the roms. Ics for ics etc. If u want to change your baseline then u must flash a gingerbread radio. U can also just flash a ics stock rom If u want to upgrade to ics again. Most rom will include the kernels radios and all just find the rom u want and follow that devs instructions.

Did you have CWM installed?
Then just go into recovery and flash any ICS rom.
Did you get the stock ICS from the samsung-kies website?
Then you can use the tools menu and do emergency firmware install.
But you're right -- take a break and attack it later. As long as the phone gets into download mode you are ok.

No CWM, I upgraded through desktop Kies. I can download stock from the website?
Yes. And all the steps are there with pictures!
You should uninstall your Kies on your pc and reboot it before you install the Kies on the website.
The site I am talking about is not www.samfirmware.com. I am referring to the samsung ics upgrade site.

That's something else. Put your phone in download mode. Kies will not connect. It'll just keep saying connecting. Then use emergency firmware. Use caps for any info it asks for. Correct me if I'm wrong Ranger. Don't have it in front of me.

After downloading the image the progress bar is stuck at 0%. Kies said put it in recovery mode, so I did. Should I have put it in download? Can I just hit reboot on the menu?
I think you are getting closer.
In kies click on tools>emergency firmware recovery a window should popup
boot your device into download mode
on the "emergency fw recovery window" should show your device... it will ask for your SN and model, input them as it shows on the back of your device. It will then install the latest Samsung FW (ICS).

Success! Thanks for everyone's help, I'll be a little more careful when figuring out how to root next time (my last phone was an iPhone, I guess I was spoiled by one-click jailbreaks).
Congratulations! Go into recovery and make a backup. When you are setting up your phone get Titanium Backup app and an sms and phone call backup app. Before you experiment use those backup apps.
Edit the title of your post to say [solved].
Go back and use the thanks button on those who contributed to your success.
See you around, right?

I have the same problem too. I used to be rooted but I unrooted it today by flashing the stock kernel and recovery using CWM and the stock rom using ODIN. Now when I connect to the computer and launch Kies, it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."

"Current firmware version: PDA:LA1 / PHONE:LB7 / CSC:LA1 (ATT)"
Flash gingerbread. Modem

Then I started dumping the bloat...still a few ATT apps I don't find in the "normal" \system\app folder. I know I've read they are somewhere else, just can't remember where right now. Only three left to dump anyway.

So I'm sure I'm going to get flamed ,or told to go read, or have grammar made fun of. But at this point I I'm lost. I have attempted to download every file and try every method listed to get my phone back to stock, nothing is working.
ROM: Team objection UCLE 2 #2 RC1
Baseband: 1717UCLF5
Carrier: at&t
Up until now I have never had too ask for help reading was always enough to get all the info I needed but not this time.
Ok so, work kies it will never connect to the service the phone that is, all drivers up to date. PC can see it just fine.
Have tried to use the different unrooted methods in the super everything thread such as the Odin flash and ask the others listed. Can some one please help me before I really mess up my phone?

Will this get me back to being able to connect to Kies so I can do the upgrade? I know this one said unroot but I was unsure if i need to get back to a stock ROM as well. I kow I read some where able to unroot thought kies, but all I was ever able to get was a connection error.
Yes , I was in DL mode in Odin as well, but hey sometime we have to ask the obvious questions like. " Is the device plugged in to the outlet"
You don't need to go back to stock to get the ics upgrade!
Go to the samsung page where you upgrade (this link was sent out by at&t in a tezt message), scroll down near the bottom and do the emergency firmare install.
It will wipe your phone clean but will leave your sd card alone.

I saw nothing on the Samsung page that instructs on how to do the emergency firmware install.
First download Kies and install it with your phone unplugged from the computer. make sure Kies does all its updates. while its updating remove your battery and write down your S/N as well as the model of the phone cause youll need it, go ahead and remove ur SD card to be safe. Once its fully updated put your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, then connect it to the computer. in Kies goto Firmware Upgrade and Initialization in the Tools Menu. This will wipe everything from your phone so backup any pictures/music/movies whatever. your going to accept the new firmware install and be asked for your S/N of the phone and the phones model number. depending on your internet speed should take about 15 mins or less to do the upgrade to ICS

It does not matter if your phone is rooted or not. Start up Samsung Kies. Connect your phone. Go to the Tools tab. Select "Firmware upgrade and Initialization". Fill in the info and you should force the update. Model is SGHI717. No hyphen. And use caps for model and SN.

And hit start
Make sure you put your phone in download mode first

Model is sierra golf hotel india seven one seven. All caps and no spaces. Kies probably didn't recognize the model.
FYI I guess there are different model numbers, or at least different ways the model number must be entered. My model # is SGH-I717...and when updating this way via Kies, I had to enter the dash. It wouldn't take it without the dash. Also, I've seen others report the model # they used was ATTI717.

and that you might have fixed it already but...
The quickest fix for me was to install ATT's original Baseband back its official I717UCLA1. Your note might have a different/custom one installed. I ran into the same exact issue today on my girlfriends Note (forgot I had a tmobile radio loaded for her). I would assume that CWM is loaded on the device also. If thats the case, search XDA for ATTNOTEUCLARADIO.zip (approx 22.1mb file) and copy to sd or internal storage on device. Boot into recovery via vol up + vol down + power. choose install via .zip. point to file and run. once completed, reboot.
now connect note to computer and run Kies. It will now tell you update is available.
Hope this helps anyone else who stumbles across this post via google search. I had to re-download files as we weren't home when I had did this where I have the files backup to to storage drive. Its safe and fast.
(Update) This will remove root access, remove CWM recovery and install ATT's bloatware crap. The cool factor: It DOES keep all your data and apps untouched except Superuser, which it removes

Put it in download mode. Start kies and once it shows your phone as connected click emergency firmware upgrade have your s/n ready make sure you have 3 gigs of space on your pc and a internet connection. It will.restore to official ics for the i717. WARNING........ THIS WILL ERASE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE HAND.

I just exchanged my phone with AT&t today. Before doing so, I brought it completely back to stock from CM9.
Odin'd stock GB rom.
Odin'd stock radio (1).
Odin'd CWM.
Flashed flash counter reset via CWM.
After doing that, Kies let the phone update to official ICS. But only after doing all of that. At some point in there might be your problem.
Once I got the new phone home, I IMMEDIATELY rooted and restored to my CM9 backup. Stock anything is blegh.

I was also getting the message 'SGH-I717' does not allow initializing.
Going throught the post, I Booted the device with Vol-Up + Vol Dwn + Power (I kept the USB cable connected) and when the Samsung Logo first appeared released all the keys.
Once in the menu I selected last option click on Ok (the second touch button) then selected first option to reboot.
The phone booted normally and connect to Kies it asked for update. The update is downloading right now.
Hi,
Me and my partner both got s3's recently his on contract mine on like buy as you view. Mine received the 4.1.1 update through the phone and after waiting a few weeks and still nothing on his we decided to update it via computer. I used odin because i saw on a post that thats what you were supposed to use and flashed it to 4.1.1. I then realised i had put the wrong version on (German one i think) and it was causing errors so we flashed again to 4.1.1 the UK version.
He is now on:
Android version 4.1.1
Baseband version I9300XXDLID
I do not know if that's correct but everything seems a ok.
However since then my phone received the 4.1.2 update and we want the same update on his phone. It does not find it on the phone. Since then i learned KIES is the samsung software not odin. No updates can be found via KIES cos the software isn't supported. I want to be able to use KIES with his phone again, can i reverse the odin update anyway?? I rang samsung and he told me it will be like that forever now and i will never be able to use KIES?
Can anyone assist me. I really want ot be able to update from KIES again instead of using odin.
Sorry if i sound like a noob im only good with apple technology haha!! :laugh:
(edit)
P.S. My software is
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9300XXELLA
we are both on Orange if thats any help? His came on Ice Cream Sandwich though and mine came on 4.1.1
If the phone isnt locked on orange just download 4.1.2 from sammobile and instal via odin as u did beffore.

Before flashing with odin try doing a factory reset on your device and then check if your device status is NORMAL to do that go to settings>about devoce>status>device status if it says normal then u are ok if it says modified try flashing the stock room with Odin and doing factory reset after the flash and if that dosnt work your device is maybe rooted and u need to unroot and do a triangle away here is the guide how to do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710613

And when I check for updates on the phone it says latest update already installed but its definately still on 4.1.1. Ill update via odin to the orange 4.1.2 and see what happens
OFW is "official firmware"

Yes you want 100\% the exact firmware that came with the phone including CSC .
A stock Samsung firmware can be flashed via Odin without any problems .

Ypu can achieve this by using KIES.
Open kies
Start recovering and make sure you can put your cells serial number somewhere
Connect phone only when kies asks to
Voila, stock as used to.
Kind regards,

Thats probably because 4.1.2 is not out yet for that region carrier .

im not bothered about loosing my user data but the option isnt there for me, it says phones that need this are listed below and the phone does not show. Not even if i put it in recovery mode. Any assistance would be great i am however just going to download some 4.1.2's today to try and fix it. I did notice however that when in download mode at the bottom it said something about multi CSC should it say this? LOL i wish i was more technologically savvy but i am literally only good at apple software. Wish id just waited Someone said to do one with BTU on the end and it should correct the CSC code? any idea if this is right?
I should however imagine it would delete all user data, people on other posts have said it was lost

Ok if u want the 4.1.2 update and u want to be able to use OTA i advise u to do flash the latest 4.1.2 room from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 there is even a guide there how to flash it , if your device shows modified status after the flash just reboot into Android Recovery by holding Vol UP + Home + Power till you see Samsung Galaxy S3 displayed on screen , then u will see the recovery options, do a factory wipe and wipe cache then reboot and u should now be able to receive OTA updates .
I am also using the same room and all is working ok OTA shows no new updates but i think when the updates hits i will be able to get it via OTA , kies is not working but i think u dont need to worry about it because u can always flash via Odin .
Here is a guide how to flash a room with working Kies and OTA
First u need to root your device u can do this by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273
Edit: When u finish rooting u should use this app its called triangle away http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114 and use it to reset the counter .
When u are done with triangle away then download this on your phone it available on play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&hl=en
Run it and change your CSC to BTU this will factory reset your phone after u done that u should flash the UK room from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
When u finish that u should boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset , you should now be able to use Kies .
I am not sure this will work 100% but it should , if u could remember what was the CSC and room before you flashed the devices with odin you could flash that firmware.
Tell me if it worked.
Help, my phone is stuck on the android screen where the arrow is coming out of the box like its downloading. Verizon could not help me and I did call Samsung and they couldn't do any good over the phone so they had me mail it to them. They did a software reflash and said it needed additional work done on it and wanted to charge me 70.00. The phone is out of warranty. I bought from individual in super great condition and it was working fine for about 3 days and then it froze on the Verizon screen. I took the battery out and did what Verizon said do and now its been stuck in the android screen. that's why I sent to Samsung. any suggestions on how to fix?

take a picture of it and attach it so i can see what it looks like.
Will it go into download mode? (pull battery hold volume down plug into computer) If so try using Odin yourself... Just an idea.

Yes I did get it to go into download mode. Its showing the Android with the shovel. Underneath it it says "Downloading"... Do not turn off Target!!!!!!!!
You told me to use Odin. Can you explain to me what that is? I am sorry.....

odin is a tool made by samsung to flash firmwares to their phones using Download Mode. they never actually released it to the public. it's also pretty easy to use, just be careful.
anything that is flashed on this phone goes in the PDA box AND ONLY THE PDA BOX. anything else will probably brick it.
the preferred version of Odin is either 1.83 or 1.85. google either one and you should be able to download it. if not, i have a copy of 1.83 that i could put on dropbox. download that first and then reply with the progress you made.

Well my phone stayed hooked up to my computer all night long and the android with the shovel is gone. But when I put the battery back in and turn on the little android with the box and the arrow coming out of it comes back on. ugh. so what do I need to do now?

plug in your phone again, run Odin, and look in the General forum for a guide made by a user named droidstyle. look for how to restore back to stock. follow the steps there and your stock firmware should be restored.
i'm still unsure of what screen you're stuck at, but just restore back to stock in download mode

My screen on my phone is black and it has the picture of a box with an arrow coming out of it with the little android standing in front of it. The phone screen will blink like its updating but that's where it stuck when I sent it to Samsung.

A friend of mine at work got my phone finally working. He did download a different operating system. Now I can send texts but I can send them. On this operating system the download part wont work so I don't have "The Market' or "The play store. what can this be causing these issues?
