Sadly I can't be of much help
But i feel you've drained your battery out
Try to charge it back and try loading your OS again.

Ya i left it on the charger all night and awoke to the same thing. However i can finally get into the downloading screen so im going to attempt to hook it up to odin and flash the stock firmware. (I was stuck on the failed firmware connect to keis screen, and couldnt get my pc to recognize it) so i have some positive feelings.
Im using linUx. When it comes to heimdall. How can i flash the original rom using it. Do i just write sudo heimdall --recovery recovery.img, but just keep adding --and another file on one continuous line?
Otherwise im just going to use VM and Odin

Ouch! ..sounds like a hard brick, you may need to JTAG. Connexion25 does it. You can try download mode via jig. You can go to radio shack and make one or buy a nice tidy one already made.

I thought I had this with my captivate. I found out it still powered on by turning it on in a dark room and noticed a faint glow. Then I was finally able to get it into download mode with a jig and reflashed

What were you trying to load? Unless you were flashing something with bootloaders (WHY????), this should not have happened.

X2 wont power on after sbf

Recently aquired a x2 to play with. Was going to turn it into a nifty lil pda dor around the house.. Remote Mp3 player games ext.. Just not to use off the network as a phone... Regaurdless
i was following the instructions loosely from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650054
and went to SBF after holding Vol up plus power from it being off and it showed the boot M logo with some text at the top, i selected the file from http://www.general-files.com/downlo...Z_MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-150-30_1FF_01.sbf.zip.html
to sbf and started it. soon the screen went black after it was done and was waiting for the phone to do something via RSD lite after reaching 100%.. waited and waited and thought maybe i needed to unplug and or power it off.. I Did both.
Now after removing the batt and sd card and trying power button and or vol up down ect it wont power back on..
Any ideas or am i screwed?

trouble rooting urgent

trying to root a friends gs2 i777 and after using odin to run the tar file, it started to reboot and has been stuck on the samsung logo for about 30 minutes now. i was just told that he is still on froyo so i think that had something to do with it but he is no longer using an at&t sim card so it wouldnt let him upgrade to 2.3 over the air. but i am stuck at the logo screen and tried to reboot back into stock recovery and it gets stuck at the logo still. please someone help

Hold power down and volume down and plug it in for download mode and flash a kernel that can wipe and install.

Hold all three buttons till Samsung appears and dissapears then let go of all three to get into recovery menu to see if you have a kernel.... then wipe clear data and reflash.

The i777 NEVER had Froyo. It was released with GB 2.3.4. When trying to root "a friends" phone it's best to have read everything and be prepared if things go wrong. Its a hard sell, when you trying to explain why their phone is borked. Also I find Heimdall a bit easier to use than Odin.
Nobody seems to be asking the obvious question: are you positive this is an I777, and not another variant of the S2, like a skyrocket, our even the 1900?
Take out the battery and look at the label under the battery. what model does it say the phone is?
I agree with wgoldfarb, I very nearly did the same thing to my work phone a few months back. It was in a ballistic case, and I couldn't tell the difference until I opened it and held it side by side with my i777,but it turned out it was an older infuse. $20 says that if he's positive he had froyo, it's the same situation.

Sorry, but drunk posting from a bar about trying to root a phone, but not being sure what phone it is (again, it never had 2.2...), has no place on this forum..

[Q] Why won't my Samsung Galaxy s3 work??? I haven't touched it!

Arrrggg my beloved Galaxy S3 is completely broke....
It is still under warranty however the screen has a small crack at the bottom (been there for months and doesn't effect phone) so my network said the warranty is now void...
I was using my phone, i put it down for a minute, when i picked it back up the Splash screen was on, and the phone wasn't doing anything!
I haven't messed with the phone and never even considered rooting it, i have no knowledge of this stuff!
What do i do??? I can get it into download mode, however, that's as far as it goes, it won't actually connect to the computer, the computer recognises it and makes the connection sound but it doesn't do anything. I've downloaded Kies and re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but still nothing? Only the battery charging sign comes on, but it freezes at the battery logo.... When i press volume up, home button and power button, it will load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that... What could the problem be??? What can i do?
download Odin and flash a stock firmware for your region from sammobile, you may need to do a factory reset after. this should bring the phone back to life.
Also a track usually does not void warranty, I had one on my s2 and it went back 3 times no problem

Thank you for your reply.. Do you have the link for the sammobile for o2 uk? I've been looking all over the site for the last week but can't seem to find it!
I have sent it off for repairs, but o2 sent it back to me and said they won't fix it because there is a crack therefore warranty is void now.. So i'm stuck! I was hoping to keep all files on my phone as i lost my dad last week and had loads of pictures of him from a few weeks ago that mean the world to me.. But my phone has been broke for 4 weeks now so i'm pulling my hair out, if need be i will do whatever it takes just to get my phone going again..
I'm a complete noob so please bare with! I've done so much internet research and not really understanding flash and firmware etc.. I have downloaded Odin3 though

HELP with s2 updating via kies.

I'm afraid I've bricked my s2, which I just got for x mas. I tries to update to 4.1 through kies, as its available here in Canada for virgin mobile users. It was going smooth until the actual firmware download process, where for about an hour it was at 60%. I decided to reset the s2, and took the USB cable out and pressed power, and both volume buttons. It came to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies" well now at first that was stuck at 0% saying it didn't recognize my device. Now, after taking out the battery and putting it back, its stuck at 60% also. I'm scared, and I need this soon. Please help.

Yeah...never unplug/reboot your device while updating/flashing.
I assume you can get to Download Mode right?

Download mode? Right now kies is at the firmware emergency recovery screen. Its stuck at 60%

Well...warranty. ..go out there abd tell them what happened, don't tell them you unplugged it while updating tho.

Sorry for double post, but the s2 itself says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. It shows the same bar as kies, also not moving for about an half hour now. Everytime I try to press those buttons, volume and power, it takes me to this screen.

You're gonna have to read a thing or two before playing with Odin.
Try another usb port and keep trying with kies recovery.
DO NOT wipe anything if you ever get to recovery.

I think you're over 10 posts now but well.
First of all you could use a little bit of reading before any of this, would be wise.
Secondly,
1 - get firmware from sammobile / xda
2 - get odin
3 - kill all kies applications running.
4 - plug in your device to the PC and open odin
5 - open the firmware package as in:
Pda = code
Phone = modem
Csc = csc
6 - make sure re-partition is not ticked and press start.
7 - Are you sure you don't wanna read a couple of threads before you do all thsese?

I got this, if it doesn't work, my warranty is still available right? Because Odin isn't root.

Well....yeah....but not exactly.
You'll be modifying you're device via non official way.
If the store finds out, warranty will be voided.
