Hey everyone,
I just rooted my At&t galaxy S II (SGH-i777) for the 1st time. I updated my phone with the official At&t/Samsung ICS update, and the phone became very laggy, so I said it's time to root. Anyways, I had no trouble with rooting phone. The trouble came after I installed clockworkmod recovery from google play store.
I installed Rom manger first from clockworkmod. I saw there was a backup icon in the app. So I clicked on it, and it told me I have to download clockworkmod recovery before I could use it. So I did, and when it finished downloading, I clicked on backup again in rom manager. The screen went blank afterwards(it was actually off), but the phone was still on (i saw the four button lights still on). It was like this for a few minutes, so I decided to turn the phone off. When I turned it back on, the phone would show the 1st screen, the Samsung SII screen, and then turn off. I took the battery out, and put it back in, the same thing. I tried getting into download mode by holding the volume, and power buttons, and the same thing would happen.
Does anybody have any advice/suggestions?

LIKE 10th post about Rom Manager in the last day!!!! NEVER USE ROM MANAGER
Plug your USB in and see if you can boot into DL mode.
Don't. Use. Rom Manager.

I definitely will not! I was following the instructions on a website about backing up my phone. I found a stock rom, then I rerooted the phone again. The guy miswrote for the att sii, and that's what screwed me up the 1st time. He was using an international version of the sii, and the button pressing was a little different with ours. I got CWMR to work, backed up to my internal sd. Now I'm looking at a couple ROMs I want to install.

From my travels, I've come to find out that we, as a human race, should more or less only trust what's on XDA when it comes to information on our phones. Good luck and remember, spends lots of time reading before you do any mods, its will save you time in the long run.

I was flashing the most recent ICS Rom via CWM and and in the middle of the flash, The screen went black. I **** my pants and then changed my underwear. I then tried to turn on the Phone and it does nothing. USB doesn't recognize, doesn't show any signs of life. The phone is 2 days old.
Ive been flashing since the HTC Hero and nothing like this has ever happened. Please advise.
Considering you list your network as Sprint, I'm going to make a guess that you don't have the I9100 and just hosed your device with firmware for the wrong device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
have you tried to turn it on to download mode using the 3 button combination ?
I can assure you that I am on tmobile with their Galaxy S 2. The first phone i had was on sprint like 3 years ago. XDA hasn't caught up.
Ive tried VOL + and - and Power. No joy.

You mean you haven't updated it, and to clarify, my guess still applies, as I still don't think you have an I9100 and have hosed your device.

I know someone will eventually tell me to do a search, but I have and can't make any sense of most of the so called guides. What I have been finding is for the international version, or some generic crap that don't really help me. My phone is stuck on the Samsung logo when you try and power it on. I really need to fix this!!! I did SIM unlock it, rooted it, and installed OnlyOne ICS because I got tired of waiting for slow a$$ ATT to get the ICS update out. Anyhow, the phone worked great for 2 months and now this morning it kept saying, blah blah has crashed, etc. So I rebooted the phone and lord behold, the stupid thing won't work anymore. The only thing I can do with it is hold the power button and down volume button to get to the "Odin Mode". Other then that, the phone is useless. I would love to find some guide that is more specific on fixing this problem? Maybe I over looked one, but I am at work and don't have the time to search thru hundreds of threads, etc. I will when I get home, but really need to fix the phone ASAP since I use it for work too. Any info would be awesome.
I think your talking about Download mode.

If you can get into download mode (odin mode) just flash the attstock Rom to unroot.
Go to rootgalaxynote.com and click the upper right hand corner where it says uroot and follow the directions. Works great for me used it multiple times.

I do appreciate the quick responses, but I'm about to head out and will try to re-flash it later. I am just concerned about the data / pictures, etc I have on the phone itself. I know I can pull the 16gb sd card I have and it will be safe, but if I use the ODIN way to re-flash to stock, will it erase all my content I have? I thank god I have a MyTouch 4g as a backup, but all my work related stuff is on my Note, so I am really up a creek right now without it.

If you unroot all of the data stays on your note. No worries. Good luck
Just one thing, when you unroot and it is finished the att logo will come up with the "rethink possible" after that just go into Samsung recovery and reboot from there.
It doesn't say that on the website.

I got it to work when I got some time. I used a Wi-Fi connection at MacDonalds and downloaded the onlyone beta 5 rom. Thank god I had my laptop with me also. I was on beta 4 but I also got into clockwork mod and fixed permissions & cleared cache. Then went and flashed the new rom, hoping my data and installed apps would still work. Well my phone is working great again. Thanks for the info and keep up the good work!

Hey,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note i717 running on aokp_quincyatt_jb-build-1_Sept.1st. Then I flashed Liquid Jelly Bean onto the phone. I followed all the steps correctly, hit reboot, then the screen went black, and the phone never booted up. Phone won't turn on or go into download mode. I have Warranty on the phone, and hope Samsung won't care that it is rooted or not, and fixes the phone. If they don't fix it, I need something to fall back on. Someone please help me out. I spent a lot of money on the phone, and now it doesn't want to turn on. Any answers anyone?
Thanks.
Give us step by step how you flashed. If you flash following the instructions im 100% you will not brick your phone.

Weird how that ROM has done this to ALOT of phones now. Glad I didn't flash it. And the op really hasn't tried to help the ones it done it to. Maybe user error but this is getting a little weird. Try using a jig if u can get one to put ur phone in download mode. If that does not work I'd make the call to att and tell them u woke up and it was dead. Learn from you mistakes you could have downloaded the i777 version by mistake and always check your md5.
testing stuff. shhh its a secret.
Can you get into recovery by holding down volume up/down +Power and then letting go of power after the Samsung logo appears?

I it was the correct Rom for my i717
Pull the battery. Hold in the power and middle volume rocker. Put battery in while still holding in the two buttons. This should go into recovery. Make sure the battery doesn't fall out. It may take a few times to get the timing right.

A jig? Really?
Ive had this issue before. I got it working by pulling the battery, plugging in the charger with the device off, putting the battery back in, and then booting into recovery by holding down the correct buttons.
Some combination of the above almost always works for me when I find myself in a boot loop or bricked.

Thanks. I'm gonna contact them once after I get my phone shipped back from Samsung. I never told them it was rooted or anything but there's a video on YouTube and a guy brought in his Galaxy Note and he brought it to his local Samsung Store where he was located and he had the exact same issue, so he dropped it off, and got a call two days later and they said they could fix it and they did so, I'm hoping for the same luck as him.

Hello,
I recently got a friend's old Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) from Verizon, SCH-I500 EH03. This is the first Smart Phone I ever owned and I wanted to join the bandwagon, long story short I read xda-developers.com for a couple of days trying to absorb as much as I could and after all my faulty USB Cable messed it all up.
I was updating PIT and PDA through ODIN, Powerwashed and Atlas when my USB Cable got a little bit loose, I tried to put it back it and unfortunately it came out of the device, Odin errored out, phone froze and I got a Green Screen, not knowing what was going on and out of desperation and bad judgement I pulled the battery out.
Now I get a black pitch screen with no icons on it, Ive already researched for Soft Bricked and I do not get the Black Screen of Death, this is just Black. Computer doesn't recognizes phone at all, I've trying holding power button for a long time, removing battery or just using USB Cable but nada.
I' did some research on the Jig mod but it seems that it only works if you get at least something on the screen while all I get is a black screen.
I'm about to try to attempt doing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216 - The Captivate Development Platform AKA Unbrickable Mod.
Before I do so I'd like to know if there is any other alternative, I don't have much experience on electronics and I'm going to purely base my judgement and fix on the thread above me. I realized that my phone might be gone for good so why not give it a last try.
Thanks in advance for reading.

DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THIS . now first off go too the Samsung satire or whatever and buy you a Samsung USB cable made for your phone too lessen the chances of bad things happening now turn on Odin 1.3 you can find that anywhere on the web just search when you run Odin run it as admistator plug in your phone with the USB cord WITH THE BATTERY OUT and hold the volume down button it will show a symbol it can be any kind its just going too show a symbol now it will install device drivers or whatever and Odin will recognize it by showing a little yellow rectangle u deer one of the com's now put the atlas 2.2 pit in the pit section chackmark PDA put the powerwashed.tar in there AND CLICK REPARTICIAN YES CLICK IT. And now press start. Wait for it too finish it may take up too 20 in too flash factory.fs JUST WAIT IT WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW. Now then when it says PASS unplug your phone from the USB put back in the battery hold the power button it will power up and do something release the power button it will do its thing then power up into power washed and there ya go YOUR PHONE IS UNBRICKED!!!!

Hello,
Thanks for the response.
I did try to run Odin without the battery but the phone wouldn't even turn on at all, Id like to think this was caused because the Cable I used was a generic one and not the Original Samsung one, I have ordered one Online from Ebay, one that is Branded Samsung and specially for this Phone, I will update this thread as soon as I get it and try your steps.
Once again thanks for your help.

I must admit it man, I knew you knew your stuff, but I had my doubts, Thanks a lot for your help, I'm truly grateful for your help. My phone is unbricked now.
I got a couple of questions for you if you don't mind,
Id like to have newest android but I'm not sure if this phone can support it, you seem to have the same phone number as I do.. what version of Android do you run.
And last but not least.. is it true that since the phone was vberizon and I want to use a different carrier I can only use the Voice Plan for it?, Data plan won't work on rooted phones unless I go to the original carrier, is this a myth or true?
Thanks once again for the amazing help, I'm truly happy!

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

I've followed the guide, I got Paranoid Android Jelly Bean running on my phone, The only issue I have now is that I'm unable to Activate my Phone, I need to dial a number and then select an option but when I'm calling it just keeps telling me to activate and doesn't let me use th enumber pad, is there a way to get rid of the Verizon/Phone Activation so I can use the numbers pad?

Okay, I will go to their location to complete the activation, one more and last thing, Which ROM do you run on your phone, I instaleld Paranoid Anroid JB 4.1 but I've read a few threads that it drains the battery so I was wondering if you could share what you use since you seem to know this phone pretty well.
Thanks for all the previous help, without you I would be using a really old phone right now

My phone has been activated, with a different carrier than Verizon which is the original carrier of the phone.
They have reset my Android OS back to stock... but phone finally works I guess is a good thing, if I want to go back to JB Paranoid Android 4.1 would I have to reactivate again after following Droidstyles guide? or can I just do the 4th steep and the phone will be ready to go.

If you should need to do it dial *22890 or *22891
That will get you past having to input a number option to activate

Almost perfection!.
Two more questions,
1- Is there anytihg else I would need to do, load a rom or tweak so DATA works? , I've activated my phone and Voice works perfectly fine, I can also send text messages and WIFI works.
2- Somehow my phone still thinks is with Verizon Wireless for some stuff such as Google Play Store it gives me the option to Add a Card, Redeem Code or Charge my Verizon Account?
Also when I turn on the phone the bottom of Jelly Bean Menu to unlock the phone shows Verizon Wireless, is this normal?

my phone was working fine .. I had done over 50 new roms on my galaxy note so im not to new to these.. anyways I downloaded the latest slim rom and the latest gapps.. i did full swipe 3 times plus dalvik and cache like I do usually and i installed a fresh copy of the slim rom plus the gapps.. as soon as the gapps finished the installation my phone went blank.. i tried to restart but nothing not even the vibration just blank screen.. i meant that not even trying to start up, i have two fully charge batteries and nothing .. it wont even go into recovery with power and the two volume keys.. please advice.. i never encountered a situation like these..
thanks in advance for any help//
I plug the phone to the charger and nothing.. its completely dead.!
Most likely installed rom version for a different device. There is no "new" version for our note i717 that i am aware of. So your best bet is JTAG for about $50 at mobiletechvideos.com.

Hard bricked.......
JTAG is your next option.......very sorry, but you likely flashed the wrong device rom, as stated in the post above mine....g
This is what I downloaded

If you can't get into download mode you bricked your phone. If you can get into recovery as stated use Odin and flash your stock version that you can find on the Internet.

The link is good. ..
Im wondering if the file is labeled incorrectly...
We have seen that issue in the last few weeks...
So is download mode gone for Sure? ??
The link is good but there are no ROM downloads for the newest release for the I717 at the moment. There is for the N7000 and I777 though. Sounds like you installed a ROM not made for the I717.

That would be a jig which will not help you. You need JTAG which I suggest you take a look at mobiletechvideos.com

Yes, you can recover your phone. Just get your fifty dollars and phone to the JTAG guy and it will be back in a week.
I just got the 39.99 jtag service with dr-CELL SEE HOT IT GOES... Thanks for all your support!!
Best of luck OP....
It's a bad day when a device locks up ...
I joined XDA after thinking I knew more than I really did.
I was helping a friend with root on an HTC evo.......and missed a critical step, causing a hard brick.
No JTAG there ....so I said I'm sorry, and we got in my truck and drove too the Verizon store.
$375.00 later, he was up and going again.....(and I was much lighter in the wallet )
Ever since, I've been here trying to help others to avoid the same mistake I made.
Since then, I read everything 5 times before using it, and I'll even contact the developer if I have questions.
I'm never afraid to ask questions, and I stop if that "feeling" hits me with doubt.
Please post here when the phone comes back if you can.
We hate those bricks, but we love a good success story too ....g
