I've read Heimdall's guide and have tried reflashing in Odin. I can not get into recovery but I can get into download. I tired reflashing to "The kernel + rooted UCKH7 system package" with no luck. Only the triangle and ! mark are gone now. What should I flash to in order to get the phone working again?

the part in red needs clarification. Did it flash, successfully?
The "!" that you see is one of two:
Forced download mode, which is just a black screen with that symbol
Or a smaller one of those symbols at boot image, that happens before the boot animation. caused by increasing the flash counter. just cosmetic, and easy to remove with an app from the market.

Meaning after I reflashed, it still is stuck on the repeating bootscreen loop. It was successful but still did not solve the still being stuck on the bootscreen issue.

So still no recovery?
Something probably got borked when you flashed. try a different kernal, dont worry about the ROM, flash kernal, boot into CWM recovery. flash ROM of that you want.

Ok thanks. How / where do I flash kernal?
And how do I boot into recovery if I can only get into download mode and the phone wont officially start?

Kernals are in the dev section. there are 2 different types. depends on what you want to flash. read up.
Flashing can be done through heimdall/Odin or CWM recovery(when you get it). there are 2 different types for this as well.

yea no flashing in recovery, if its not there. flash with heimdall....or Odin(if you must)
Sorry man, but are you trying recovery correctly?
both volume keys held down, then hold power button. hold through first screen, will come back a 2nd time, after a second of the 2nd screen i let go of power, then a second later I let go of vol keys.
This is just the easiest way i've found to do it.

Also make sure your phone isnt plugged in to your computer when trying to access CWM Recovery menu.
The latest OTA frustrated me so I decided I needed to root my i777.
I had a very similar and scary prob. I rooted my phone with no problem using the GalaxyS2root.com page. I have an i777. Booting the phone does now says 1900 and have the yellow triangle with exclamation mark but no big deal. Phone is running i777 firmware fine.
Problem occurred when I attempted to flash a new ROM. I flashed an AOKP JB ROM using CWR. When the phone booted it got stuck. I could see the new 1900 boot screen but then it would flicker and go black sometimes looping back to the 1900 screen. If my usb cord was plugged in, I could get to Download mode (vol up, vol down, and power for about 10 seconds), but no further.
I read several forum posts with no definitive answers. I originally rooted my phone with a Mac, but decided to attempt to unroot/reroot with a PC. Then I got to thinking maybe I could flash a different kernel. In hindsight, I wasn't as careful as I should have been in my approach to flashing Kernels, but I had the right idea apparently. I flashed TASK650 3.0.38-i777 specific kernel and bam, got the phone to go to Recovery!
I really hope this helps someone. I'm so appreciative for the pieces of advice here and in so many other forums. XDA has always been a source of great information (I remember rooting my original HTC Incredible 3 years ago...so nervous).

## Edit: Geez I'm a noob...
I just wasn't holding down the recovery key combination long enough on boot. After a few cycles it booted into CWM Recovery. The phone itself doesn't boot, but that's not a big deal because I'm going to put CM on it anyway.
## End Edit
My problem sounds very similar to the OP and the problem quoted above. I was following the i777 instructions on the Cyanogenmod wiki (can't post links yet... wiki.cyanogenmod [dot] org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_i777). Running heimdall on Ubuntu, I was able to flash codeworkx's ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3 (and I checked and double-checked the md5sum) to my phone. As advertised, a blue bar appeared, Terminal told me "KERNEL upload successful", and the phone rebooted.
Unfortunately, at this point, I can't get past the initial Samsung splash screen; the boot just hangs. I also can't boot into recovery, but I can boot into download mode. From the reading I've been doing, it sounds like I should flash a different kernel. Does it matter which one? My phone was originally running the most recent OTA update (4.0.4), if that matters.
Sorry for the noobish questions, but at this point I'm scared that making changes will bork the phone more than I already have. Any advice is very much appreciated!

Yeah, that was my bad. Bit late though on never using that site. I still will pass your (and now my) advice on!
Before I went there, I had looked around the XDA forums. I had read many of the questions I was researching on XDA but continually found a "go do your research noob" type of answer. It was AFTER the fact, that I found what I needed. I guess the "uh-oh" feeling produced a more intense desire to research below the surface. Live and learn!
I still have the triangle and I'm booting into AOKP 4.1.2 (build from 12/2/2012) fine. I have read about Triangle Away and it seems that previous versions worked with i777 but the most recent version does not appear to list i777 so for now I'm just dealing with the tripped flash counter. My phone is out of warranty anyway, so I'm not that concerned about it.
Huge thanks for the response. For me, it really seems I flashed the wrong kernel (thanks to the aforementioned website). Outside of that "alert" at boot, phone functions the way it should.
Cheers!

Hi,
I am fairly new at this
I am on Shostock 3 v1.4. (rooted on zedomax gb kernel from galaxys2root). It worked pretty well until I tried to back up current ROM
I downloaded ROM manager from play store and flashed clockwork mod and went to back up current ROM and my AT&T i777 got stuck on triangle boot screen
I could not get into recovery mode to fix the problem (tried vol + and vol - and power button)
phone will not power down, I pulled the battery several times
after putting battery back in, tried powering back on and got the triangle boot screen again
any help would be appreciated
thanks

You are kidding. Why the hell would you download ROM manager after all the warnings in the forums? To top it off, if you were already on a custom ROM, you already had cwm.
I can't believe that you would risk your device without familiarizing yourself with the intricacies of it. Astonishing.
Try doing some legwork and reading the forums, as your fix has been posted before

Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. You need to flash a different kernel. More than likely that is the problem...at least that was my problem. Can you get into Download Mode, not Recovery Mode? You'll need a computer to do it. Seems to be easier on PC...or maybe more people use a PC to do it.
ROM Manager currently will work with i777. It went through a VERY bad period where it screwed up a bunch of phones. But ROM Manager is NOT necessary or recommended as it is in many kernels.
The Triangle issue is something that seems to be connected with the root method used on that other website. Triangle-Away worked for me...but you need to get your phone working again.
Hope this provides some help.
Rom manager does not work with i777.even just booting into recovery causes problems

I installed it. It works. I did uninstall it after 2 weeks of use with no problems. I uninstalled after I read several people who had issues. I assumed it was a fluke and I should probably get rid of it plus it is unnecessary. I can confirm it worked as of 2 or 3 weeks ago.

So last night I decided to play around with my phone since I had been running stock ICS for a while. I still had some battery issues so was going to try out a few roms and see how they were all doing these days. I started off by flashing a siyah kernel using odin to get root. Everything went smooth. I then installed ROM manager and stupidly tried to flash CWM from within the app. The app completely froze and once I rebooted the phone would not boot correctly. I get the initial triangle bound galaxy s II screen but after that just a blank screen. Beyond that, the buttons and display flash ever so often very briefly but thats it. I could still get to download mode so I figured I would just use the "return to stock" thread to start over. Unfortunately I seem to have completely messed something up because I can't finish flashing anything, the computer beeps like I unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in in the middle of anything that takes longer to flash than just a kernel and odin reports that it fails. When I used to just leave my phone plugged into my computer and it was at full charge it seemed to randomly do the same beeping as well. I think my next plan of action is to let the battery drain a bit and try to do a full flash (with bootloaders) and hope that it makes it all the way through without disconnecting as it seems to shut down the usb connection when at full battery for some reason.
In summary, I can get to download mode at this point, or a firmware failed to load screen. Ive tried various things with odin, heimdel and kies to no avail. Odin seems to have some marginal success except for the random disconnecting. Anyone have any advice for me (beyond trying to flash with the phone at around 50% battery or am I buying a Galaxy Nexus today?
Thanks in advance
If u can't get into cwm just flash a stock firmware from the download repository or from creepycrawlys sig. Odin should work fine in download mode regardless of what recovery rom manager installed. Make sure u have the latest drivers on your computer for the i777. Also I've found when I do the Odin flashes that the best way to get it to work is to start Odin with yer phone disconnected THEN connect it after Odin is started. Don't use rom manager in the future.

The random disconnecting sounds like either a bad cable or a bad USB port. Try to flash using a different USB cable...if that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

Seems logical, I will try a different port and cable and see if I have better luck. Anybody have any suggestions on what package I should try first? Should I try one that includes the BLs or not? My end goal is going to be either cm9 or aokp.

I would stay away from packages with bootloaders. Too easy to fully brick your phone. I would use the one creepyncrawly posted here. Make sure you read and follow the directions to avoid Brickbug. This will put you on rooted stock ICS. You should then be able to flash to your hearts content.

I'd second this - if you get one of those random disconnects while flashing bootloaders, you could potentially be in a much bigger world of hurt...

No, ROM manager is still one of the worst things you could use on an I777. Stay away from it. I believe OP realized his mistake after the fact, he included it so that others could better answer his question and help him get his phone up and running again.

Honestly I want to help you buddy, but because you neglacted to read anything before you did this, this is your fault!
Yep very old. I cant believe that Koush hasnt figured something out for this yet. He fails too. CyanogenMod has always pushed ROM Manager, even tho most devs state not to use it.
OP: Get into download mode, and flash another, PROPER, kernel with ODIN or Heimdall.
Then use CWM to flash things.
I's in good mood today?
Well thanks anyway; hope to find a solution and post it. I know it was my fault so lwts move on its part of the experience in Android World.

If you can get into download mode, or have any sign of life from your phone, then it is not a brick, and you should be able to recover. Please let us know if you can get into download mode, and more help will be forthcoming.

Wish you good luck with that. Jtag takes a fair amount of dexterity for the micro soldering, and some fairly expensive equipment. If you are unable to get it done yourself, the owner of Mobile Tech Videos will perform Jtag recovery for about $50.00.
I sincerely hope you know that the method for getting into download mode on I777 is to take out the battery, plug normal portion of USB into computer already running Odin, then hold both volume buttons and plug in micro USB side to phone.
If that really does nothing for you, then try mobile tech videos.
i777 soft bricked, boot loop never goes away...
I bricked my samsung galaxy s2 i777 by trying to flash a rom via rom manager. While it was installing it, it rebooted and got stock on boot loop.
It can go into download mode but never to recovery or beyond.
I tried every solution recommended out there, like flashing stock kernel, stock rom, different roms, siyah kernel, oneclick unbrick, and you name it. I tied ADB but it does not recognize the device, nor does oneclick unbrick.
Somehow I need to go ahead and wipe everything but since I cannot get to recovery, I cannot wipe it, and every time I flash something via Odin, it goes through the whole process successfully however once it reboots after flashing, it is in bootloop again. All I see is samsung galaxy sII logo window.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

True.
@jdpardo,
If you can get into download mode, or have any sign of life from your phone, then it is not a brick, and you should be able to recover. Please let us know if you can get into download mode, and more help will be forthcoming.

This. Do u have the android sdk installed, and the drivers for the i777 installed? You'll need those plus usb debugging already enabled to use ADB. (if u went the ADB route)

Something went wrong flashing AOKP from AoCP, bootlooped and I thought I could fix it, didn't realize I had to hold the buttons FOREVER, worked, thanks man
A simple way to get the i777 into download mode:
unplug the usb cable
turn the phone off
hold only the volume down button
insert usb cord
Almost instant download mode.
this really will help you

Don't post that video anymore. Also, DO NOT USE THAT VIDEO!
I'm not saying it won't work, but the fact that you've got a file from gs2root shows your inexperience and/or lack of concern for the well-being of others devices. There is no reason to take the risk of using ANYTHING from gs2root... you can get everything needed to do everything possible with this device right here from xda and have the peace of mind that it will work as expected so long as you follow the instructions.

Hi there i have a SGH-i717 with AT&T 2.3.4 Stock installed..I did have Cyanogen 10.1 and Avatar all installed in the last 72hrs..I have wiped all that and did a return to the stock AT&T thinking that my HOME keys would return..NO LUCK..The problems started about 4 days ago when the phone started turning itself off automatically..I changed custom ROM's etc to try and fix the problem..then i read to use Kies to try and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to go back to the start when i first got the phone..But now Kies will NOT recognise the phone..I have re-installed drives, Kies to no avail..Any tips ?
Also someone suggested to flash this kernel h0tcakez-JB-Kernel-v2.3.5-ALT but when i tried through system recovery is gives a falied error..
I have nothing on the phone i need to worry about loosing...Cheers

If you are on stock 2.3.4 and tried to flash that kernel .. that is why it failed .. it would be the wrong kernel for that rom. Did you flash a stock rom in recovery? If so then I would suggest using oden to return to stock . then see what you end up with.

Thanx for you reply..I did however flash stock 2.3.4 from oden..I deleted everything in recovery then went to oden and flashed the stock rom..Should i unroot/unbrick flash from oden?
That article about returning to original settings in Kies seems to make sense except for the fact that i cannot get Kies to recognise the phone...
Are we talking about Software ou Hardare issue in your opinion?
Cheers
Could be a hardware issue. Try this ... Put the phone into download mode then connect to the pc. Use the cable that came with the phone. Also use a port on the back of the pc ..not a hub. Then open kies and do the emergency firmware update.
Also ... When you used Odin to go to stock ..you installed the 3e recovery ..that's why it failed to flash. Which is a good thing. That kennel would have boot looped you.

Definitely not a hardware issue, there where some changes made IIRC in the kernel driver files, once flashed they prevented the homerow buttons from working normally, the only way I ever found to make them work right was to flash the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel series, let it boot, then return completely to stock!
If you dig around, FJ's alt kernel's are around here somewhere!

Good morning, well i believe i have finally arrived at a possible solution..I have searched hi and low for these Flappjaxxx alternate kernel ..I came up with a daunting array of alternatives for the complete amatuer as i am..I appreciate that your time is precious but i do need some general direction what exactly i am searching for..I have found this one but to be quite honest i am not sure if i need this whole ROM or just the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel'a..

Needless to say, im about to pass out, so im going to make this useless post...
Either I, or someone else can link you to a FJ rom, and the FJ alternate kernel that match, what you will need to do prior is make sure you have EVERYTHING you want/need, backed up to GMail (in the case of Phone logs, SMS and MMS with the Backup to GMail app, yes, im whoring this fantastic app out) AND to your computer, NO not your SD card, but your computer!
Make sure you have the latest recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0 is what I have, but whatever TWRP is latest will do), wipe everything, then install the rom, boot, wait 10min, reboot into recovery, flash the alt kernel, boot, wait 10min, then test the home/back/menu/search key row, they should work, at this point, you CAN go back to the 2.x.x rom you where running, but if you have an i717, I have had nothing but love for the Stock rom update on AT&T once I performed a complete ODIN to it (flashing the ones here on the forum's resulted in random reboots here and there, and while less then ever before, still annoying, after an ODIN however, havent had a random reboot yet!).

I was on an international based rom and downloaded something that was supposed to be a fix for something. so after the download it took me to recovery to install and reboot. I flashed the zip and it obviously wasn't for my carrier because my screen went black then did the samsung logo, then my twrp recovery screen, but then right back around to the samsung logo. I can get to odin but not recovery. in odin it shows my phones product name correctly, says custom binary download and says no, current binary says samsung official, then system status says custom...Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help. I am so f***** without this phone...Please someone help....Thank You all..What can I do????

Lol yes, sorry kinda going crazy here. Thanks for responding, I appreciate that even. I was on Goodness i605 note 2. I must have screwed up by downloading something in those minsettings that was for a different carrier. It said it was a network error fix I believe. It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.
