Stupid me! I was trying to un-root my phone. I downloaded some files that I thought were for my phone, and I was wrong.

I attached the following image so you could see what my device is running. I am also using a Galaxy S2 from AT&T.
The problems that I am having:
My home button works as the back button. Which leads me to believe that the software that I used, is probably for the Galaxy S2 that has the physical home button, not the home button that shows the little house.
My search button doesn't work.
I cant boot into download mode.
If I was able to get into download mode, I would be able to flash my phone with a different rom. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

Please reupload the photo on Imgur.com so i dont have to sign in with a yahoo account. Also seems like you flashed a bootloader. Gonna have to ask someone else.
Go to the Download Repository to get the files you need. Follow one of these two ways to correct this:
1) Flash I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries using Odin. Use the version that includes bootloaders as you need to replace the secondary bootloader. This will take you the original UCKH7 2.3.4 Gingerbread fully stock. Then use my guide to root and customize.
2) First flash the secondary bootloader sbl.tar using odin. Then flash the I777UCLE5 Stock Binaries using odin, or the one-click odin downloader. This will put the phone on ICS UCLE5 4.0.3. Then you can use the information in the above guide but be sure to use an ICS custom kernel.

Hello,
I just flashed my wifi gtab 10.1 with the stock touchwiz ux rom via odin from the development thread.
Now, whenever i start the download mode on my tab, following is coming up:
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=733&d=1304696743
The shown one here is from a S2, but I get exactly the same screen with my gtab.
Before I flashed it via odin this screen wasn't there and I got directly into download mode.
Even restoring the normal stock rom or installing cwm didn't remove it.
Am I the only one with this warning screen and is it possible to remove it again?
Thanks in advance.
So nobody knows something about this? That's sad. =/
Edit: Sorry for double posting, wanted to edit.
its nothing much
just means you've flashed a ROM
So it's absolutely normal that this warning screen will pop up everytime I start the download mode from now, because I flashed a ROM one time?
Also, there is no way to remove it?
Thanks so far.
on the Galaxy S II you can either get a usb jig or do that flash/reflash trick but on the Tab i dont think there's anything yet. but hey thats no big deal !
....DELETE
No, I think it came with the latest official ROM. I just got my tab the other day, brand new. The firmware on it is XXKG8. I haven't added anything, and as I said, it's new.
I get that message before download mode. I have been actually hesitating to root it because of this, thinking that they have added some sort of counter like on the SGS2.
So this is not the result of adding a rom, it appears on brand new retail tabs as well, it seems.
So from what I gather, nothing happens when you press the yes button to go into download mode after you see that message?

That is normal, no need to worry about it. I got the same warning once I performed the 11MB update on my UEKG4 build. I have a feeling that warning was "borrowed" from vanilla 3.2, anyone with a Xoom tablet on 3.2 please let us know. Did you had an unlocked bootloader on your tablet (lockpad)?

Because if you did, the update locked your bootloader unfortunately. Still, there is no biggie on that also... Personally, I don't care if it locks the bootloader, as long I can flash the tablet with CWM. That means I can flash a custom ROM, kernel and also root. It makes no difference to have a locked or unlocked bootloader, unless you want to flash something that needs a different bootloader (i.e. Tabuntu).

Their is no ics for i9100G
Can you get into download mode?
Or samsung service center...

okay, here's what you do
1. Switch the phone off
2. Hold volume down + menu + power button, until the phone goes into download mode
3. Connect you phone via usb, wait till odin recognizes it (the "COM:" thing turns yellow)
4. Load the pda
5. Flash
If you still don't get it
here's a tutorial video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hwSF65_d26w#t=15s
and make sure you're using the proper pda, the one that is made for your version.

The problem began because he WASN'T using one for his phone. He was attempting to load an I9100 firmware onto his I9100G.
OP, follow this guide: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G
And be aware, as sahibunlimited says above; there IS NO ICS for I9100G yet.
Make sure you can enter Download mode ... if yes, then there are some stock ROMs lying around in the Repo! Flash them properly ... and always read/search thoroughly before flashing any stuff ... clearly you're new to all this stuff! Though, happens!
easy solution
just flash a kernel,i had the same problem,flashed a kernel without going to download mode here is link for one:
http://www.mediafire.com/?0nmccnoly0ioqx3
connect your smartphone with pc through usb,then open odin and select the downloaded tar file in pda tab ,dont tick anything else ,then click start,done.your phone will be back.
I have an AT&T Note that has locked me out (bought from ebay), and the VOLUME UP is broken so I can't get into recovery.
I feel like my only hope getting into the phone is "adb reboot recovery". The problem is I can't get into settings to check USB debugging
Is there anybody out there that knows if it is possible to disassemble a ROM and make changes so that instead of USB debugging being OFF by default, it is ON?
And if you know it's possible, does anybody know of anyone that could handle the task. Thanks a bunch guys:good:
Any other ideas are welcome, I think if I can get into recovery I can factory reset and get past the lock. Will this even work?
if your rooted, you can use titanium backup to get into recovery mode
He is locked out, can't get past the lockscreen. How will he install TiBU?
Since the volume button is broken, and possibly other things wrong, why not get a new mainboard?
Or send it to a JTAG service to force a new rom into the phone.
Sorry didn't see that, couldn't you just flash a stock rom with Odin, the volume down button works right?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Ya I tried flashing a stock rom, it still doesn't get me past the lock screen. And this is a new logicboard already. What if there is a MOD or something that adds boot to recovery in the power menu? Then I could get into recovery. I would have to be able to flash it with odin though. I have 3 notes, one needs jtag, the good one I gave to my wife and this one I pulled from a note run over by a car haha. I would like to get this one going I can live without a volume button!
I think the next step is finding a way to get recovery on the power menu!
The new Novena J2 rom (stock ICS) has the four reboot options in the power menu. Go for that.
I think plan B would be to ask a developer to cook you a rom that has the lock screen removed completely.

A couple questions, Where can I find this rom you speak of, and is it flash-able with odin?
If this rom exists im set, thanks man. I've been looking but can't seem to find it.
Really?

Hi...
I was playing around with my phone earlier and not playing close attention to what I was doing (nagging wife in background) I decided to flash a new ROM and I didn't notice I flashed a 19100G on my 19100. As I wasn't looking what I was doing something flashed up on the screen and poof! Well now my phone wont start and it stuck on the Galaxy S2 start screen.
I was previously using CM10 and had CWM recovery installed.
Is this a brick or soft brick and how can i fix it?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you :crying:
can you get back into recovery or download mode
try reboot into download mode.
i once installed something, and after reboot, it wasnt going further than the samsung logo and screen flashes. so wasnt getting into CWM.
only way out was going to download mode, and flash an odin-capable rom. (bizarrely, the rom worked very well with my phone, longer batt life, performance, etc. ..
Download mode:
Power your phone completely off and make sure it isn't plugged in via USB.
While holding the Volume Down rocker and the Home key press and hold the Power Button.
I just got into download mode.
Just downloading an odin capable rom.
Will report back in a little while
Thanks
Okay so I downloaded Odin and a recovery file but when I start Odin I get a yellow box but no numbers?
I chose a the recovery file (PIT) and pressed start but got a failed message in red.

In ODIN you should choose file in PDA. not PIT.
And you should find the file your looking for here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
if there is only .tar choose pda
other way
phone - pda
csc - csc
modem - phone
edit : btw i think your phone is not bricked.
First of all you are in the wrong thread..And your phone is not bricked..Just follow the instructions given above to use odin to flash a stock Rom. You will be fine
I downloaded I9100XWLPT for UK Europe and used Odin v3.04 and all went okay. Phone is back up and running again now
Thank you so much for your help! I really thought I was frazzled there for a minute lol! That will teach me to flash and not pay attention...next time I will have to make sure the wife isn't around
I guess I am now back on stock and will have to re-root my little baby?
Again thank you for all your help...I went into panic mode for a little bit and my mind got clouded so I could not see a solution. I knew it had to be something so easy.
Very much appreciated :good:
And sorry it's in the wrong section, where should I have posted it? If there is a friendly neighborhood admin around could he please move it to the correct place?
Thank you
hi all, i took a risk and bought a s3 that wont boot and the touch screen doesnt work, now i know nothing about how it got into this state, i can boot it into recovery where i am faced with this screen

on the recovery screen the volume buttons dont work so i cant scroll up or down
if i let it "boot" normally it gets to this screen
but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks
