Hi,
To preface this, I have never posted on a forum before as I have always been able to find people with similar problems. However, this time I am stuck.
I had my I777 rooted and running the Task650 aokp JB rom. Everything was working great. Then I decided to get greedy and tried to dual boot an ICS rom in order to get MHL capabilities. (Shostock ICS) I used this thread as a guide. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890274) I did not realize that it was for the Note 2, not the S2...
However, I think I still could have gotten myself out of trouble if my phone had not run out of power during installation. The phone abruptly shut off, and when it came back on, the Samsung logo appeared for a second before slowly fading out to a distorted white screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, it only shows the white screen when it is plugged in, and my computer will not recognize it. (I should note that computer never recognized it when it was running jelly bean, but I never bothered to fix it.)
I took the battery out overnight and tried it in the morning. no change. I left it plugged in all day, this caused it to get very hot and I quickly unplugged it.
I have posted a YouTube video that briefly shows the boot loop and the white screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEuR3qn9Grs&feature=youtu.be
The most recent fix I have tried was ADB Portable, but my computer did not recognize the phone.
I'm out of ideas and desperate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You
Did u try to get into recovery with the button combo...without the micro usb plugged in ? (I see u had it plugged in in the video).
Can u get into download mode ? Gotta jig ? And if yes, then u will need to flash a stock firmware.

Yes I have tried the button combo without it being plugged in, but only after its been sitting on the charger for awhile. Still get the white screen. Can't get into download mode, no response from the computer whatsoever. Not sure what a jig is/means.

Say I am able to get it into download mode, can I just reflash my old jelly bean rom?
Nope. U will have to flash a Stock firmware with Odin or Heimdall.
Then if successful, u can move on to flashin a cwm kernel and then a dev rom.

Ok, thanks. Just ordered a jig. Will update when it gets here. Does it matter if the stock firmware is GB or ICS? I cant remember what it had on it before I flashed the JB rom.
Doesn't matter...GB or ICS. Whichever u want to choose.
Just don't do a wipe data/factory reset on the ICS firmware i777ucle5 with the stock le5 kernel, because of the potential eMMC brick bug. See the stock firmware threads for more info. And yep, keep us posted on what happens.
Later.

I was able to get it into download mode simply by removing the battery and holding down the volume buttons while plugging it into the computer!
I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the stock firmware/kernal combinations on here. I would like to return to stock GB, but keep my root. Can anyone recommend something?

Hello i have an sgs2 from At&t and i was trying to root but was unsuccesful and now i have this message on my screen when i turn it on " Frimware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I could use any advice or help. I have search and tried alot of things but no luck. Please thanks.
What method did u use to root?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
And importantly did you attempt the recovery through kies?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
i used the "how to easily root your sgs2" method using odin. I tried to use the recovery through kies but it asks for a code and it wont connect to my phone.
It sounds like your phone is still half functioning. Try booting into recovery,
With the phone off hold down both volume keys and power button until you see the first screen, then let go of the power button.
If it's stock recovery you'll be able to do a factory restore(wipe). If CWM choose wipe data factory reset.
After rebooting it might work.
Worst case you can put it back in download mode and try odin again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
If you can't get it into download mode you may have serious issues.
Might need to build a usb jig or buy one.
Contemplate a return.
If you tried everything, and I mean everything to get it into download mode, i.e. jig, "adb reboot", then neither can they. Can't see anything you did.

I just tried that but all i get is the firmware error screen. And i would try reflashing through odin but i dont know what to reflash the kernal that i was trying to root or something else??

You never did tell us what KIES has to do with ROOTING ?
I would definitely flash back to stock. Stock will never further mess it up. Not to mention there is the stock rom that's prerooted. By using that one you won't get a yellow triangle on boot. Nor will the counter go up from changing the kernel.

If he downloaded an international rom then he can't use the stock recovery as the power button on the international roms aren't the select key. They have an actual hardware button to select. I found that out the hard way.

That is probably true cuz i downloaded a 1900 or something odin file to get back to stock but it was not the right one as i now know it should have been I777.

At least you got download mode working. With that working there should be no issue about fixing your phone.
Just keep in mind depending on if "everything flashed from the international version you possibly will also need to flash the right modem.
I wouldn't worry about that until you got the phone up and working.
It's best to keep each step as simple as possible, especially for the first time you're trying it.

ok so i downloaded the stock rooted rom and im using odin 1.85 but it stops at factoryfs.img, any ideas??? thanks again for all the help
Not good. I wish I could offer more help. At least it didn't stop at flashing the bootloaders.
There's not too much you can do at this point. You can try waiting seeing if it changes.
You can hope if you do unplug it that you can get it back into download mode. Then try odin again. Though I'd make sure the checksum of the download matches up to make sure it downloaded properly.
No one wants to be the one to say unplug it in the middle of an odin procedure, but if no progress is being made after a reasonable amount of time, there's not much left to do.

I have installed slim bean on my vibrant but found it laggy....so i wants to back to ics ...now i m flashing ics rom but getting error as installation aborted.
I have flashed glitchy kernel but no luck
Help me
Odin back to stock first. I think your treading on dangerous territory if you try to go from JB to ICS directly.
I agree with Toast ^^
I always suggest going back to stock via odin before doing anything like that, just to be safe.
If you can't or are in a rush,....you can get back to ICS from JB in the usual way (full wipe, flash)...I do it all the time, since odin isn't an option for me
at the moment...so I can assure you it's more or less safe, since my phone is still running just fine even though I've gone back and forth without odin quite a few times.
But again, if possible....always odin.
Good luck!
Finally tried to flash phone with odin but i m not able to go into download mode...i have tried 3keys combo, usb jig but no luck.
Now phone is stuck on samsung vibrant screen maybe now its bricked.

Sometimes it can be tricky getting into DL mode. Try pulling the battery, have phone plug in to the cable/PC, hold button combo and put the battery back in. Also try different ports on PC doing this. If you have any life you are not hard bricked so don't panic!

when did last time u used download mode? were u able to use recovery after flashing slimbean? u should have odined back before installing ics ............I think if u can't enter both recovery and download mode then u might have hard bricked ur vibrant.........
Downgrading
When downgrading, upgrading or flashing new roms, it is always good practice to odin back to stock. This will help remove any "ghost" files that may still be around.
Sorry to hear about your phone but don't give up. Keep searching the forums and you may find a way to fix our phone.

Just because you don't see the graphic showing download mode doesn't mean you cannot get in it.
In a post a couple days ago called "I need help!" Woodrube posted a guide about it.
Open Odin, plug in your USB to PC, not phone yet.
Now try to enter download mode. You may set no graphics or black screen but, it doesn't mean Odin won't see your phone. Its happened 3 times that I know of in the last couple days. Since you can still see the Vibrant text all hope isn't lost.
Just some "in case you need it" info, you can go to
www.mobiletechvideos.com
They can do a JTAG repair to fix a hard brick. They can also perform the unbrickable mod. They are very professional and have fast service. I shipped my phone off from Washington D.C. to them in Texas on a tuesday, I had my phone back on monday. They stayed in contact to notify me when my phone arrived, when they completed and shipped.
Hopefully no one will need their service but JIC.

Having trouble getting out of initial boot screen "samsung galaxy s II GT-I9100 with the triangle". I flashed siyah-v3.4.2-nomswap-i777.tar using Odin3_v1,85 and had issues using video and camera. Was using galaxys2root.com as guide but no resolve in forum. I tried to factory reset using power vol+ vol- and was still being shown that i was running the siyah kernal... obviously dont know what im doing. I then tried reset using settings and am now stuck at the boot screen. My computer recognized that it was sgh-i777 when bubble popped up but no data is being listed and is showing up as 2 drives in my computer. It shows battery charging briefly but then screen goes black. Is this salvageable, can I get back to a stock ROM? Please advise.
ODIN or Heimdall + Download mode will get you out of any situation....
Did you read the stickies or the thousands of other threads that covered this?

Since your computer recognizes the phone, try using adb portable in my signature. It can help you reboot to download mode if you're stuck in a loop.
You can find stock packages in the development section and the stickies.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
what to do first
my phone says im running 4.0.3 and its hardly working so Im thinking that I did something incorrectly when I flashed something from stockrom.com . Im able to get into recovery mode and download mode now with no problems. From what Im reading everyone suggest that I have CWM (but do I need it right now?)... I havent installed it via google play... if it is even there... so is it something I flash? I want to just know how to get it back to normal so I can play around with different roms and find out what I like. I hear that ROM manager is a no no. So... what to do... thanks for having the patience to help.

You'll want to get root if you don't have it. Either flash the stock + root package or use the Exynos Abuse app to gain root. If you use the app, do not patch the vulnerability.
Once you have root, download Mobile Odin and flash the Siyah kernel. You can flash Siyah with regular Odin but it will trip the flash counter.
Clearing the flash counter is as easy as a jig or the triangle away program.
For any extra information on any of these topics, read the stickies and look at Creepyncrawly topics.

I have flashed AOKP JB on it and everything seems to be working fine... I now understand the appeal of the whole thing... It runs so smooth. Is there a big reason to clear the flash counter? Is that just a warranty thing? I can see why you wouldnt want a huge triangle on the front if youre trying to sell it. What is patching the vulnerability?

Warranty is really the only reason to clear it. When you run Exynos Abuse it asks if you want to patch the vulnerability that allows it to root the phone. This is a permanent fix and cannot be undone.

So, I have the SHG-I777 and I had stock 4.0.3 but the cellphone started to reboot over and over again so I made a factory reset wipe cache and those things and the cellphone was working fine until today.
It started to reboot, I think it was on a loop (Sorry for the bad english) And I Couldnt do anything with it, I made factory reset again and it turned on but in safe mode and every process in the cellphone just stopped I wasnt even able to select a launcher..
It rebooted lots of time again and now it just stays in the "Siyah Kernel" screen.. Now I cant do anything andddd the laptop does not recognize it so I cant use Odin .. I trough that I could flash the stock 4.0.3 again via recovery mode but I dont know how to do it.. or if I should flash another Rom or a custom rom.. the only thing that I can do with the cellphone is to get into recovery mode.

That exclamation mark error is telling something bad has happen with earlier flash, ie unfinished flash, corrupt files etc. Back in the old days people usually use usb jig to force phone into nornal download mode again. That happen to me once and what i did is remove battery, hold the three button combination for download mode and while still holding those buttons, force reinsert the battery. Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it
