Im currently running Turkbey hellraised on my Sgh-I777. I wanted to try this rom out, but when i did the usual steps for hellraising and rebooted i got stuck on the boot screen, not a boot loop but the actual start up screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy s2 Gt -I9100".

hellraiser package is designed for GB roms. That is an 4.0 base and we do not have a fully functional kernel for our phone yet.

I feel your pain too I want to use ics so Bad. Just so ya know I've flashed the ics for the i9100 on our phone and it doesn't brick it or anything just the back and search buttons don't work.

Be careful - some of the ICS installs have a PIT file and are flashed in Odin.
DO NOT FLASH THESE.
As of today, the ONLY reason to EVER flash the I777 using a PIT file is to recover from a situation where you screwed it up by flashing something with a PIT file.
Nothing good can come out of flashing using a PIT file on the I777 at this point, nothing! So DO NOT FLASH anything that includes one!
Things might change when we get official ICS, but right now - DON'T DO IT.
I flashed the first i9100 leak using odin on my i777, and it workt just fine, only played with it for like 5min since ril is busted =/, tho he can flash i9100 cm9 just fine(after taking out the ro.productdevice=i9100 string out of the updater-script) and play with ics a bit, tho like we all know no mic on calls/no back/search keys(tho it can be fixed with gb /usr and a kernel edit) =/

I think, once we start getting ICS for the i777, the device will have to be repartitioned. In HC (and ICS), /data and /sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) are no longer seperate partitions. If I understand ODIN properly (and I don't), that would imply a PIT file, correct?

I have an ATT I777 on the UCKK6 base. Id like to root it. Its obviously still running GB and that base I listed. I know they sometime lock stuff down further with different update. So the question is, would there be any issue with updating the phone to ICS through KIES and then rooting? Or should I root it before? If I root it before will I lose root if I try to update it then, I would think so at a minimum.
does anyone know the most current base, or what it would be that I came out with after the KIES update?

Before or after it doesn't matter, our latest base (ics) is UCLE5 which is the official update.

Ok, so then go through the process to root UCKK6 and then just flash that? Id assume the other available ROMs have the kernel checked for the EMMC bug?

No. This phone is definitely *not* unbrickable if, by unbrickable you mean not capable of being bricked. If you mean can it be brought back from a brick, then it depends on the type of brick we're talking. If you're talking the hard brick caused by the eMMC bug, then no. You won't be bringing it back from the dead.
If you have not already, I would advise reading the post at the following link, then reading the thread related to the mentioned app:

Nicks right. But you'll be fine if u wanna try out stock ics. Just remember not to wipe data / factory reset with that kernel and.you're ggood to go. I installed it two days ago and ran it for a while. It worked fine but the battery drain was killing me. So I switched. Good luck, happy flashing.

If you will root your phone, suggest to use ShishiROM ICS. It has a great battery life.

No need really, I'm so used to running ASOP like ROMS on my other phones I probably wouldn't like it anyway. I was mostly just curious as it seems that with the base I'm currently on rooting is a little more involved. I was also wondering if Sammy had maybe patched something in the new build.

Here is what I would do if I were you. When I rooted mine I was on KH7 so I used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit then installed Mobile Odin to flash Entropy512's DD 3-7 GB kernel to get CWM then flashed a custom ICS ROM. I went back to look over creepys guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter" I have read it 100 times I just want to make I got you the best info I could.... Give a BIG shout out to creepyncrawly for putting that guide out!!! Make sure you read that guide lots of great info... I did see a KK6 stock rooted package on here 1a. just read up see what is best then just follow the steps..... If you have any more questions just post them in this thread.
1. If you flash the 2c. "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081
1a. Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
2. Then install Mobile Odin link (You will need this to flash Entropy512 GB kernel just extract the zImage from the zip file and load it in the kernel slot in Mobile Odin)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
3. Then flash Entropy512 GB kernel to get CWM link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289460
4. Then you can flash any custom ROM you want!! AOKP is a great choice Task650 is VERY solid.... GL link

There is no stock UCKK6 (2.3.6) but you can download and flash a Stock plus root version of UCKK6. See Entropy512's thread which is a sticky in the development forum.
...Or you can flash fully stock UCKH7 (2.3.4). See the link in my signature for the return to the store guide.

I will add this if you flashed UCLE5 via kies or any other method to get your ICS besides AJ's thread you have an unsafe kernel and possible eMMC SUPERBRICK BUG make sure you DON'T wipe data/factory reset before you flash this package do it after you flashed a safe GB kernel... If it were me knowing KK6 2.3.6 has battery drain issues I would flash KH7 2.3.4..... Just use creeys thread to get the files here is the link... GL

i flashed I777UCKH7-REV02-home-low-CL503881.tar
that i had got from sammobile i didn't see the other post till now and i also upgraded to ics from kies i can get into download mode but when i try recovery i held power and volume rockers and it's suppose to flicker once it does not do this it just stays there
You can upgrade to the stock 2.3.6 by downloading the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository here in our forums, then after you are booted into the operating system, go to settings, scroll all the way to the bottom to software update, and it will download and install 2.3.6. I wouldn't suggest it , just because I don't like it or think it runs well, but try it out. Good luck, happy flashing.

1. What is the status of the phone now? (can it boot recovery or go in to download mode)
I've got the day off and nothings really going on so I'm looking to root my SGS III. Still in the preparation phase but I'm basically looking to find the quickest, easiest way to obtain root.
What I've come across is the tool kit and CF-Root methods of doing this. Basically what's the difference between these? I'm also reading about flash counter? And triangle away gets rid of it? I'm not too sure on that really..
Ideally I think I'd prefer using Odin but I cant seem to extract the CF-Root file to get the .Tar PDA file. This is why I've stopped and decided to post before proceeding to **** it all up, as I once did with my SGS...
Any help would be appreciated thanks all
..... Should also say I'm running stock with the latest OTA update if that's any worth

Can't really comment on "best"
But I've had good experience with AHD, WanamLite (2.0) and Omega. All with stock kernels. But Siyaah 1.4 is a good kernel to start with if you want a custom kernel.
Currently my daily driver is Faryaab's AOSP JB Build 3. Loving it!
Sorry, poorly phrased.. should have said, what rom do you use and why?
I confess at the moment I have gone back to a stock de-odexed Rom just to see what Samsung is like after 2 years of being on aosp/cm9 roms, just running siyah kernel over it and removed a bit of bloat.....quite enjoying it

I enjoyed my journey through cm9/10 and aosp JB but I have to say I'm liking the latest Sammy FW, its a lot smoother than it was when I left it to flash CM9 back around when I got the phone.

Flash then do a nandroid, can't really go wrong them!
Hi, This question arises after much research and several kernel/rom combination attempts failing.
I have been having problems with the rooting/ROM flashing on several i777 lately. Obviously there are so many different ROMs and kernels. Mostly the ROMs I try are call "ROOTED STOCK ROMS" and custom kernels.
One observation I would really like to express is that NOTHING created by the dev. "ZEDOMAX" has EVER worked for me.!!!! Wiping/formatting, nothing. I have had problems ranging from non-booting to booting and running but overheating and rapid battery drain.
Also, seems as though this phone has lost the battle against age, in that all the custom dev. seems to be more than a year old, except for the UCMD8 that just came out. I also can't get that one to work. I reverted to ICS 4.0.3 mistakenly believing that the format/wipe step was safe unlike the 4.0.4 version which everyone warns against. Now I see that that is a problem for 4.0.3 as well, so I went with rooting 2.3.4 and tried to install GALAXSIMUNLOCK. It just won't install!!!
What to do now? This is exhausting.!!!
Interestingly, These phones still show LOTS of demand in the market whereas, The BEAUTIFULL pebble blue S3 with a brand new LCD/FRAME I have just sits there, no interest in it at all???
Any opinions would be GREATLY appreciated. Maybe 2.3.4 is too old for GALAXSIMUNLOCK???
Thanks

Apparently GB 2.3.4 is too old. I flashed a stock 4.0.4 ICS. Rooted, unlocked and updated to UCMD8. All is good!!!!
I also can't get UCMD8 rooted(cooked) rom to install for some reason it always turns out STOCK!!! very strange.

Cooked is essentially stock. You won't notice much difference in the way it looks. But there are differences. It has AJK kernel instead of stock kernel, has root and busybox, is deodexed and has been debloated. You can check on any of those things to see if they are there. Boot into recovery, try a root application, use a root file explorer to look into the root files, etc.
Make sure you data factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik in cwm recovery. Reboot in to recovery and flash the cooked rom again. Make sure the rom download was not corrupt.
