First I read all the stickies and tried every installation to go back to stock but Odin just freezes up. Also tried different USB ports and and computers and same results. I can only go into download mode.
You may need to repartition. Not knowing the history of how your phone got to where it is now, I can't be sure. Can you give me a complete rundown of your issue?

How would I go about repartitioning the phone? I full wipe and flashed the new Shostock3 and it was doing fine. The next day when I woke up my phone had the sleep of death. The Galaxy S2 logo was stuck and I tried to get into recovery and it only showed half of the screen and was frozen. Now the screen says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Go to the Download Repository. The link is in my sig.
First, try flashing full stock Gingerbread. Use the download under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the full distribution which contains the bootloaders. It doesn't matter whether you use the one-click downloader, or the tar.md5 file with Odin stand alone. If this flash completes, then you're recovered. Follow the guides to root and install a custom Gingerbread kernel, then flash back to SHOstock3 or whatever firmware you want.
If this flash does not complete, then download the I777 UCKH7 PIT and use that in Odin stand alone with the above tar.md5 file. Insert the tar in the PDA slot, the pit in the PIT slot, and check repartition, then flash.

So I tried both the one-click downloader and flash doesn't not complete, same goes for odin and PIT file.

If you didn't try it already, now go back and flash just the tar.md5 file without the pit, again, and see if it will complete.

Yes, I was hoping that the problem is not hardware, but it was a thought from the beginning, given the sequence of failure. Is the phone by chance still under warranty?
Let's don't give up yet, though.
Things to try, then try to flash the full firmware in between.
1. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the I777 secondary bootloader.
2. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the param.lfs.
Try the instructions in this post.

You can already get into download mode. I don't believe there is any difference in the download mode produced by a jig. A jig is really helpful if the wrong secondary bootloader was flashed by accident (or ignorance), and you can't get the phone into download mode any ohter way.

Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?
Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)
If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...
You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already
You install the wrong pit file .?????
What instructions are you following .
jje
It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.
If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.
The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.

The JIGs are like £4 on ebay, so its worth a try, and if it doesnt work then you can sell it on or something.
USB jig any Odin should work flash stock firmware but follow instructions to the letter and read what you are doing first .
jjue
Good luck with the jig hopefully it will work and you can get your phone working again.
I am amazed it let you flash it as well being a totally different ROM!
Take the battery out then press and hold the power key for 10 seconds.
then press and hold home and vol down, do not let go of the keys while doing below
then insert the USB cable
then insert the battery
Does it now go into download mode and get recognised by the PC?
I went to a phone service and the guy there told me that the boot loader was completely erased, everything...there's nothing...

If the bootloader is gone then you would need special equipement to repair.
Sorry to say this but if there is no way to load the bootloader from sdcard or something then you are screwed.
I was trying to flash back my I605 Note 2. I'm coming from CM11. Downloaded original 4.1.2 firmware and ran through Odin. Everything passed and worked through Odin, but when the phone restarted it was flashing the Galaxy Note 2 screen....... Any ideas? About to sell the phone. Really need some help. Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think I've had this problem before. I flashed the root66 4.1.2 file and it got stuck. From there I put it in download mode and flashed TWRP through Odin. Then I went into recovery and flashed a ROM and from there I got it to boot. Since you're selling it, I would say flash creanrom and then flash sophisticated 4.3 to give them a stock experience.

Haven't seen that one. I did some research and the things I found are pretty bad. I read theres a problem where your phone storages are set to R/O rather than R/W and its not allowing it to write anything. The last thing I found to fix it was a fix for the VZN GS3, but I'm gonna guess the same will for the the Note 2. I would suggest using the unrooted stock firmware since root is unimportant right now. You can get that somewhere in another thread because I don't have the link handy. Get that, and get the pit file and load that into Odin with your phone in download mode. Go ahead and make sure repartition is checked as well and give that a try. Using the pit file should reset the data tables (or something like that) to the proper R/W permissions. Hope everything works out for you!
EDIT- Here's the thread you can use to get the firmware and pit file. All the files you should need are in section 1b. I know I said not to use the root66 file, go ahead and try it first because the firmware files are huge. If root66 doesn't work, go for the one that says it'll return it to "out of the box conditions." From here, hopefully it'll boot. If you run into the endless boot issue from here, go back to the first post I posted and do that.

I found these files by chance in the forums somewhere, i repair cellphones and was working on a work around for the replacement screens not working for the i527 At&t, these files will put fix your current softbrick and restore you back to 4.4.2
Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.

Your phone seems to be soft bricked. Are the stock roms you downloaded .tar files or .md5 files? If they are .zip files or .rar files, uncompress them with 7zip. Did you put them in the PDA slot in ODIN?
@Amo5,
Sorry to be so late to answer your question, but I have been traveling out of town for the holiday.
Go to the Download Repository and get the latest stock distribution, I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean). Enter download mode and flash that, and see if the flash will complete. If the flash completes, but the phone does not boot past the splash screen, enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
If the flash is not successful, your phone may have nand read/write corruption, so post back here with the results of the above, and I will post the instructions for clearing nand r/w corruption.

The problem MAY be NAND read/write corruption. It is also possible that you have a bad or flaky connection between the phone and the computer. Sometimes failed flash is due to USB cable or micro USB connector on the phone, or you may need to use a different USB port on the computer, or even another computer. If the problem is NAND read/write corruption, then the following should clear it.
Instructions to clear nand read/write corruption. Instructions are specific; do them in order, and don't skip.
Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.
1) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
2) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.)
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.

Try different cables. Try different USB port on the computer. If you can get access to a different computer, try flashing from that. That will be a good start to troubleshooting this issue.

In 99.9% of cases (I'm not going to say it's an absolute, but nearly so), when the phone can go into download mode it can be flashed. I'm not sure I know all the possible factors that would interfere with a flash, but the connection between the phone and the computer probably accounts for the vast majority of cases.
Have you ever had any problems with the USB port on the phone? You might try cleaning it with alcohol, not 80% as it has too much water in it, at least 90% or better.
Another thing you could try is flashing it using Heimdall from the command line instead of using Odin.

There is little else I can add to help find a solution to your issue. I've already covered pretty much what I know about the SGH-I777 with respect to your issues.
Even though you have been unable to flash with the things you have tried so far, it still may flash for you if you keep working with it. I have seen users report in the forums here that they were able to get a successful flash on the xth try (I don't remember, 5th, 10th, 15th?)
It could possibly be an issue with your micro usb port on the phone? What have you done to trouble shoot that?
There are some things that could cause the reported behavior that are not related to the connection between the phone and the computer. I have seen one or two reports of actual memory module damage that would allow the phone to boot, but not to function correctly. In such a case, the damage is in a non-critical area of the memory.
If you live near an AT&T service center (not a store), you might take the phone in to the technicians there and ask if they can help you out. I know the phone is rather old and out of warranty, but they still might help.
You could send the phone to Samsung for repair. There will be a charge. I think you could determine how much by calling them ahead of time.

Well my counter is about 25 now and many times the flash isnt count..
I living in country without AT&T service so i guess i send the phone to some lab or something..
About the connection between the phone and the computer i had troubles with it in the past so i just move to "Wifi file transfer" so i dont know if the problem still relavent, anyway i checked it in 2 differents computers and many USB cables.
SO what you saying is keep trying OR send it to some lab?
thanks again for all your help buddy
Ok just got replacement S6 edge had D0l1 firmware on it out the box...flashed unikernel in ODIN on it for root....booted just fine and had root...then flashed latest TWRP through ODIN tried to reboot into recovery Now phone won't boot. if I force a restart it does Sammy logo then a white flash real quick to black screen followed by a vibrate then just stays black. Only thing I can do is get it in DL mode.
Now I have tried to DL the D0l1 Firmware from 2 different sources on here at XDA so I can ODIN back to stock but can't get Odin to recongize the zip.....so I extracted the files but says something is corrupt?. I am not a noobie when it comes to rooting and flashing and this is the deepest of trouble I have ever been in as far as Bricking a device. I have no clue what to do now???? Any help please!
Honestly, all I need is the D0l1 firmware which I cannot somehow get without it being a corrupt file
I just don't get it.....Odin will not recongize the D0l1 firmware for me to flash? I just Odin'd back my other S6 edge with broken screen to send back for insurance claim no problem with c09 firmware or the # before this D0l1. 3 different download sources same thing Odin will not see the zip file after clicking on AP.
I can' boot into recovery..does anybody have the stock recovery for tmobile that I can flash in ODIN??
Did you unlock the bootloader yet?

How can I do it if I can't boot the phone?
Then you need to flash the stock ob1 firmware.
Can you get into dl mode?

Ok I tried to DL the D0l1 firmware from couple other places on here and when I unzipp it Winrar is popping up message saying the the file is corrupt but it unzips anyway then when I flash in ODIn it says Fail....not sure if that's because of the file or this new bootloader from Sammy is ****ing things up for people like us? I'm staring to get nervous....this DL from Sammy is gonna be a long time.
Also, I just noticed they have ODIN 3.10.7 out.....gonna DL that also as I have 3.10.6 still. see if that helps at all.
Yes...the dl will take a minute. If possible just leave your pc alone while it downloads.
If Winrar says its corrupted then it is. No sense in trying to flash it

OK, so I downloaded the file but like I said earlier (this is weird) When I unzip this file.....Winrar pops up and says the (archive is corrupt) but it unzips anyway but takes longer than your average file to unzip.....load it up in ODIN and when I start it goes through process and just fails? what can I do now?
How can the file be corrupted straight from Sammy???
Is there anyway you can get me the file already unzipped not saying it was corrupted?
I can upload the file. But it will take a while

Bro....I think I might be ****ed honestly, I hope not but it seems like if you get stuck in a BL with this new loader....it will not let you flash a stock image. My phone says in red at top when I force a restart (Recovery is not seadroid) I tried extracting just the recovery out of the D0l1 firmware and packed it up as a TAR and flashed but it just hangs and never completes the process. I have searched google to the end of the earth about trying to recover after this new firmware update but can't anything or anybody successful....just people stuck like me. Wish I would have just let it go and rolled stock cause I was gonna jump to the nexus probley.....but you and some others showed you were rooted and good....it all went downhill after odin'd TWRP
Your fine....my upload will take awhile. Its the tar file. So all you will have to do is flash in Odin
Your stuck because you didn't unlock the bootloader. If you get into download mode then your going to be ok. So just kick back for a few hours until my upload us done
