Okay so, basically I wanted to install Slim ICS. I was on a 2.2 ROM, with a froyo kernel.
I switched to the CM9 Glitch Kernel, and that went fine, but I had forgotten to transfer the ROM that I had planned on using too, and could no longer get past recovery (for obvious reasons).
Now, I'm stuck in a recovery loop, Windows 7 64 won't pick up my Samsung Vibrant (Either nothing happens, or it attempts and fails too install drivers), so basically I'm stuck in recovery. I've been trying to get Mass USB to work for over three hours now (Tried several different computers in my house), to no avail. This is my /only/ phone, and I really need to load a ROM.
ANY help would be appreciated.
To sum this up:
Stuck in recovery loop (CM9 Glitch Kernel)
Windows 7 64 isn't recognizing my phone (All drivers installed, it just fails to access the phone)
I've tried all USB settings in Glitch Recovery, and none of them allow my computer to connect to it as mass storage.

its not wise to upgrade from Froyo to ICS, as your boot loader may not be compatible , you should first upgrade to gingerbread, save your EFS folder than flash a CWM kernel to upgrade to ICS
anyway to solve usb problems look in My Android Solutions
to get your phone working use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509 or the vibrant thread for help , if its a BELL you can use i9000M Rescue kit from My Android Collections , if its T Mobile look here or use SGH T959 Vibrant Eugene No Brick ROM Froyo 2.2 from My Android Collections
Need a guide, look into My Guides and Manuals
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
Use only ROM and solution for your model and Wipe x3

I got the phone to connect VIA USB. I transfered the base zip and the common zip for the rom I was going to use, they both flashed fine, but now I can't get past CWM Touch v.5.5.0.4 recovery.

whats your phone model? is it branded by any Network? For ICS ROMS you need top Flash Twice , just flash again

Does anyone know how to root the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Telus SGH-T959D)? I had root prior to my upgrade to 2.2 Froyo but now Z4root no longer works. It will go through the motions but does not result in root access after running it.
try this, it worked for me: SuperOneClick

Attach with kies. copy it in the phone root directory
unplug. trun off. take off the battery ,
plug in the battery again
hold the volume down button and power key and
in recovery mode select update and let it update.
phone will be rooted in seconds.

Try turning off your virus scan before unziping superoneclick; on my computer it kept recognizing the rageagainstthecage file as a virus and deleting it.
hmmm still cant with my 959D and froyo
finally works, use super one click, unmount external AND INTERNAL sd cards

yup, worked for me too, thanks a lot
Worked for me too. Phone is SGH-T959D from Telus:
firmware 2.2
baseband T959TLJL3
kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
build number FROYO.TLJL3
The trick is you have to unmount both the external AND the internal card, otherwise it fails. I couldn't find a way to unmount the internal card using the phone menus, so I had to download a free app from the Market called Widgetsoid2.x. This app unmounts both. Then I ran latest version of SuperOneClick (I used 2.2) and it worked.
Of course I had to install the USB drivers first and I had to put the phone is USB debugging mode
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S SGH T959D and I need to unlock it, but I have no idea how to do that. I have been reading different forums and it says the phone needs to be ROOTED first before it can be unlocked, no idea what that is or how to do that, this is my first Android phone, so I'm a virgin when it comes to this stuff, can anyone help me. Thanks. (preferably in plain English)
i rooted it using superONEclick but its very picky about the rom you have
i was on stock 2.3.3 gingerbread
had to enable usb debugging on and connect usb/phone
Hi all 1st post here and it's already a question so I apologize, , I am pretty new this stuff and recently started messing with my firmware and having a play around. Now the issue I have is I cannot connect the phone to pc by usb at all. I have tried all the usual methods of switching data cables, hard reset, enabled/disabled debugging. The only thing that it does is charge the phone.
On a seperate note, I think my current version of android is corrupt as when i hold down the power button, the only option I get is power off, various other things are not quite right either and would prefer stock to this. The device is rooted using universal androot. If anyone could help me return to stock or change my firmware would be greatly appreciated. Please bare in mind that I am unable to use usb, so kies and odin are just not an option. Many thanks
the information i have is.

what rom did you put onto it?
Try this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(release)-motafoca-2-0-9/
Many thanks for the reply, I was a little naive and just downloaded a random linked one Am I able to put the madteams on there just from sdcard?
If you mean install it from sdcard using clockworkmod?
Use this one : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(re-release)-motafoca-froyo-2-0-9-rom-clockworkmod-edition/
To be honest, I have been playing with something I know too little about and now i'm trying to fix my mess I have installed rom manager, and applied what i believe to be clockwork mod recovery supplied by rom manager, then added the linked file to my sdcard. When it tries to apply it as an update it says aborted as zip file is bad.
If i could use usb or odin to flash my phone things would be so much simpler, but as it stands I can't seem to do anything with just using the sdcard. I don't know if there is a complete idiots guide to this. But thanks to those who have tried to help so far.
my phone too is not working via usb..i mean not detecting when to flash. Its working fine when in usb mode but when put to downloading mode,the pc dont recon the device..if yu find the solution plz rply .if i get it i will surely answer

I don't even get the dialog to connect by kies or mass storage. I plug my phone in and the only thing it does is charge. The computer doesn't even acknowledge there is a device connected, with that in mind i'm certain it is a problem with my phone. Possibly firmware related, or faulty usb phone port I would guess.
Which is why I really hope someone can come along and help with my previous problem of fixing things with sdcard only.

if you're wanting to use odin to flash, use that rom i said. download both files from the 'full edition' and extract them

to flash:
1. download kies
2. download odin
3. download your files for the rom
4. put them all into odin
5. turn phone into download mode and connect to pc
6. wait for it to show up on odin
IF, your phone doesnt show up, try uninstalling kies, re-installing it, restarting your computer and try again
I can't use odin, kies, or mass storage. My phone simply won't accept that it is attached by usb, I tried the original samsung data cable, as well as another I purchased new the mount dialog won't open when I attach a usb with the usual option of kies/mass storage so I know it isn't my pc. Everything I have done has been by removing the sdcard and using a card reader to put files on, then back to my phone.
I tried all the linked files so far, tried renaming them to update.zip on my sdcard, when I boot back to recovery and try to update from sdcard it says bad file, or failed. Also tried extracting the files and updating again no good. If there is no other options to force new firmware to install from sdcard I guess it is a new phone time which I wasn't keen on.
Should be a rom.problem..flash other rom..if odin shows yellow light below com port in odin it means you are ready to go..flash another rom and see if it helps..but if yellow light doesnt display theb its data cable prob or usb port prob..

It may not have installed correctly which is how I managed to ruin my phone, but according to rom manager it did install I never got the chance to check tho as my phone is now dead and hoping to get it fixed under warranty.
you probably installed a version for another phone. If you can, boot your phone into download mode and install clockworkmod found here: http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/(development)-ltsecret-projectgt/
Then, hopefully your phone should be ok, but just to be sure, install the latest cyanogenmod (using clockworkmod).
Hope this helps

Dude... he has an SII HD LTE. (E120L) Which has different CPU/SoC/GPU than the I9100.
I am about 95% certain I9100 firmwares will NOT WORK on his phone, and may, in fact, make his situation worse.

First off, do NOT follow that guy's advice above, unless you want to brick your phone.
Second, try reading/searching this thread. I myself did a quick perusal of it and found that someone in it mentioned that they were able to root their E120L or S by flashing Tegrak kernel. Search around for it.
@vdbergh, sorry, I noticed you already posted in that other thread.
About your issue; are you plugged into a mainboard USB port on your computer? Using a USB hub or keyboard passthrough can cause issues. Have you tried different cables? It could be a bad cable.

ctomgee, thanks for the effort to try to help me!
I am connected to the main USB port of my computer. I also changed the cable. Result is the same.
I think something is wrong with the firmware. Here's the history.
I had a perfectly good working phone. Then I wanted to flash the TL1.3. Something went wrong in that process and stupid me, I reseted the phone. Since then the phone was bricked. I tried everything but no success.
I sent the phonbe for JTAG repair. They manage to reanimate the phone, but it was impossible to get a network. All the est worked fine but I could't make phonecalls.
When I started Kies, it said to upgrade the firmware. The kernel upgrade went fine but the baseband upgrate got an error. I had the posibility to do an emergency recovery in Kies, but as soon as I start that, Kies doesn't recognice the phone.
Flashing new firmware via Odin doesn't work eiter.
The only small possibility I see is to restore a backup efs.img I found. But to do that the phone needs to be rooted. I can't do that via Odin so I tried the DooMLoRD tootlkit to root the phone. This doesn't work because I get an error that the filesystem is Read-Only.
Maybe I could root or upgrade the firmware via the recovery mode (apply update from sdcard option)?
So I'm very desperate now. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I would get the latest firmware available via CheckFUS. (if you don't know what that is, just google it) Then flash it via Odin. Let's start there.
Use gingerbreak in my signature, it doesnt even need a computer, just put it on your sd and install it, then let it do it's magic

The checkFus didn't work. ( the SHV-E120L (SII HD LTE) is not in the list).
I tried the Gingerbreak, but I do't think the E120L is supported yet. It run's for ever without rooting the phone

My apologies... I didn't double check to see if the E120L was in Check FUS. Hmm. I'm not sure where you can get stock firmwares for the SHV-E120 series, unfortunately. (at least, on English language websites) Sorry dude, wish I could be of more help.

I manage to root the phone by flashing the Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.recovery.tar and installing the zip file in recovery mode.
I still can't connect to a network and I can't flash new firmware. All the flashing ends with an error that the NAND or amss.bin can't be writen to the phone.
Someoine has an idea what I can try now?

The problem that I couln't enter download mode or root my phone is solved with your help.
I still have a probem with the radio/basebad, but I'll post that in another thread.
I have a Galaxy S2 here, basically all I did was took the unrooted (probably my problem) phone and opened Odin, then proceeded to use the PDA file provided and pressed start. It got stuck while being downloaded onto the phone so I gave up any unplugged it. After turning back on recovery came up but it said it couldnt mount my sd card. I rebooted again and now all it does is goes into download mode (unseeable to odin) or shows the boot screen with yellow triangle at bottom. How can i fix my phone?
I can get my phone into download mode aswell as into CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4, but i get the error
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file...)
Instructions followed for use of Odin ???
Kies/Usb drivers etc etc .

Try changing USB slot. Also did you make a backup with CWM? Have you tried a restore?
I did not make a backup, and yes.. i tried the drivers, samsung kies, and a new usb and such.. no luck

Hello guys.
I recently bought the Galaxy Note i717 locked to Rogers (Canada).
The seller told me that he has installed custom rom on the device. I thought it would not be problem but it seems like my phone is kind of laggy compared to others'.
I tried to connect KIES to install the original ICS firmware but my mac does not recognize my note.
The message on KIES when I connect USB cable is that ' device not responding '.
I tried turning on/off the phone and USB debugging mode.
I haven't back up my phone as I could not get it connected with computer.
My phone is samsung sgh i717

Install CWM Recovery and you can install any of the custom roms. All you have to do is install CWM and put the downloaded rom on your SD Card and install it with CWM. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431 and download the one that says ODIN in the first post then read the instructions to flash CWM Recovery with ODIN in post two on the page link above. Now you can flash roms without needing your computer. Now you can head over to to the development area for the I717 Note and pick a rom to flash with CWM. make sure you read the instructions for each rom cause it will tell you to do a full wipe on most and you do that inside CWM. Another tip is that you will never ever need KIES and the only use for it is having the Samsung driver that get installed with it so your PC will sync with your device. KIES is kinda useless.
EDIT: you probably already have CWM installed. Before going and tryin to install it hold down the power and volume up volume down at the same time and the device will shut off but keep holding down those three buttons. Now the device will vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear, let go of the power button but keep the volume buttons pressed in and CWM should pop up after a few seconds. If you have CWM already installed do not flash it again just find a rom and flash it through CWM like I stated above. In CWM the volume buttons move you up and down the list and the power selects.

Hello guys.
I recently bought the Galaxy Note i717 locked to Rogers (Canada).
The seller told me that he has installed custom rom on the device. I thought it would not be problem but it seems like my phone is kind of laggy compared to others'.
I tried to connect KIES to install the original ICS firmware but my mac does not recognize my note.
The message on KIES when I connect USB cable is that ' device not responding '.
I tried turning on/off the phone and USB debugging mode.
I haven't back up my phone as I could not get it connected with computer.
My phone is samsung sgh i717
Android Version is 4.0.4
Broadband version is i717UCLE2
Kernel Version is
3.0.9-perf-I717UCLE2-CL526350
[email protected]#1

Go to this thread for a quick tutorial on flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586223
There is no "original" ICS firmware for i717. As of yet no i717 ICS firmware have been released by carriers, save for the unofficial leaks, which you seem to have.
If you want to go back to stock firmware of Rogers, make sure to do a factory reset in CWM and then flash a stock GB ROM. The other choice is to wait for the official ICS release from Rogers (which I hear is coming this month) and then flash that when it comes out.
Otherwise, search for stock i717R GB firmware on the forums, put it in SD card and then flash it using CWM.
If you don't want to lose your data you could try using Titanium Backup from the play store to backup your apps and data, flash your firmware, and then download titanium backup from the play store again on your new firmware and use the restore function (if you are flashing a stock rom, you need to root first before using the restore function). Don't know how well that would work though, never tried it myself.
