HELP! sgh-i777 not turning on - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

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.
help?

Have you gotten into download mode? More importantly, Have you read the stickies on the forums yet?

I just replied to someone else in another thread. Ill point you there. Your ignorance astounds me. You didn't have the TIME? But you expect all of us that did have the time to read the rules, the stickies, and all the inportant information to help you since obviously our time is less VALUABLE than yours? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39916674#post39916674

Am I doing it right?
I've read the stickies (Im sorry for not doing that before), I'm still looking for a solution, I'm dowloading kies in another computer to see if the pc actually recognizes my phone, so I can be sure that the problem is my laptop and not the phone... if it does I'll just flash with odin a stock rom.. I'll update here the results.

Have you tried other USB cords?

If you have not flashed any roms or kernels just do a factory reset. If you have flashed then flash back to stock then do factory reset

My phone was rooted using zedomax's kernel, and is now running siyah. I had to reformat both my sd card and my internal storage so my backups are gone, and I'm unable to connect it to my computer to change kernels or anything of the sort. Every time I try to unroot using odin it refuses to work, and I'm just completely at a loss. I want to delete everything on my phone including the rom and basically reset everything on the phone. Is there any way at all that I can do that or am I stuck with a rooted phone that won't let me even connect it to the computer? I'm extremely frustrated right now, and just want my phone fixed.
EDIT: New update, I am unable to mount my SD card.
A search would have lead you to the 'return to stock' thread.

I would say try mobile Odin and use dropbox to get the stock files on your device. I would be sure to read very carefully first. Maybe even try a different USB cable or a different computer. Also make sure your PC has the kies drivers installed. When you use Odin make sure Odin is running before you connect your phone to put it in download mode. Good luck

Its pretty easy, install the dropbox app on your computer and phone. You put the stock files in your dropbox sync folder on your PC and upload them. Then download them from your mobile app

thanks a lot man. I'm incredibly frustrated right now and your advice seems useful.
This is probably a really dumb question, but what files do I need?
If your phone charges I doubt its a USB port issue and more likely a driver on your CPU or your missing a step in the return to stock thread.

OK. With the one click app open and your phone disconnected and turned off you need to hold down the volume down button and connect the micro USB. Then when the warning screen comes on press volume up.When you do that does a box on Odin turn yellow and say something like com6?

yes, and then I hit start and the factoryfs.img (i believe thats the first step) refuses to begin flashing.

Didn't we help you fix this problem before? Why are you still trying to flash the phone using Odin? When you got it fixed the first time it should of had CWM on it. After that you should of never used odin for flashing again. That is how you got the triangle again. I think the best bet for you is to find someone in your area that has experience with android phones and have them fix it for you.

We do like helping fellow geeks. The problem is that there is nothing we can tell you to do that is not already documented in the stickies. That is why I suggested you find someone local to you that can help you. Without physically having your phone in front of us, we can only speculate on what is going on.

You really, really need to search for stuff. This is already discussed in a few threads. But to spoon feed you. Just got back into recovery and do a factory wipe. Should work fine afterwards.

No. your sdcard is fine.
What were you attempting to flash and what version of cwm recovery do you have?
P.S. In the future when you post about a failed flash please include the following information - what firmware you are currently running whether it is stock or one of the custom roms and which kernel you are running, and most importantly include what it is you are trying to flash - this will really help anyone who is going to try and help you out.

Fassies are just about unbrickable.. unless you have some sort of hardware issue. Its been the case for me more than once where I bricked my device and couldn't get into recovery but download mode worked just fine. Just hold volume down as you plug your device into your PC.

And the guide will say exactly this: download mode, Odin, CWM4 fixed for CM7, then if you want to be on a current ICS build flash THS build one or two followed by whatever build you want... Hardly misinformation.

Also, the OP is a complete noob..no offense..said he don't even have the phone on him. But is sure he can't boot into download mode (his reason)" because it wont even boot cwm".. The only thing I think is wrong with his phone is a severe case of lack of research and reading. My prescription is droidstyles guide...
PS. Download mode is initiated by plugging the phone into the computer with the battery out and while holding "down Volume"..

Hello, it's me again
As I showed you, with your GNex, just flash the stock firmware, via Odi (This time, not with fastboot) ^^
Check out this website, and download the desired ROM, there... Sammobile.com/firmware/

Every phone is easiliy brickable, if you press the wrong button/type/perform the wrong command, at the wrong time.
I've bricked my SGS II just by reboooting it, into Odin download mode ^^
You just need to flash the phone/wipe the phone, in the wrong moment (Example: When it's updating the factory binaries).
And, if a collegue of mine, can brick an old (2003 model) Nokia, then this can brick aswell ^^

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 unresponsive- white screen

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.

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.

You will need to downgrade with lgnpst to root. It is in topic at top of page on irc.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g
Yeah you will my bad also I don't know what i was thinking lol but I ran into that same problem and I restored back to like the day I got it and then rooted it and it worked just fine lol Some time's its just like that
Hop into the IRC to get the link to LGNPST so that you can downgrade. I think theres links in the other threads like the conversion, to get the link to the stock firmware. LGNPST is not hard to use, just make sure you have all the correct drivers installed and its quick and painless
I tried to rooting. But phone did not reboot, but it loses cell net.
I reboot it manually and phone now turns on screen for a half second and turns off. And I can not use it (unlock screen is not working).
I can run it in download mode. So what can I do? Download stock ROM and flash it? BTW, what app I need to flash stock ROM?

Power+vol down does not reset (I tried all combination: VolUp+Power, VolDown+Power, VolDown+VolUp+Power, only last one works).
Updated: Thanks! Power+vol down almost a minute holdin resets data. Now phone is working normal.
Question: I also tried to root on E97011c and it got stuck after the restore part and nothing happened. Does this mean nothing was put on my phone? Is it possible it could become messed up now?
I don't remember accepting any ota but I'm rooted and unlocked and I am on software e90711c , I don't know if a ROM changed it or what, but I followed the guide and used the free gee app on play store to unlock boot loader. Not sure if this helps in anyway, but like I said I managed to do it and don't recall accepting any ota.
