So the other day i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 and i ended up not liking it. So today I tried to remove the root by a factory reset using the settings option. While in the process it froze, so I removed the battery(BIG Mistake). It wouldn't turn on so I tried recovering via samsung kies which ended up not recovering due to "unexpected errors". Ok, then i tried Odin with a stock version of ics for my model, itjust keeps saying failed. At this point i'm frustrated and don't know what to do. All i'm trying to do is to get back to ICS 4.0.4 with NO root. Can somebody please help me? Any help is very much appreciated.
-Thanks

Root won't be removed by factory reseting. At this point you have or you are very close to bricking your phone. STOP, and answer these:
Can you get to the download mode?
Can you get Odin to recognize your phone in download mode?(does the COM port number light up in Odin?)
Do NOT have the repartition option checked in odin.
Use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 and leave all the options on default and loadup your Stock ROM in PDA section to get a clean flash and don't disconnect while flashing (big no no)
After Odin reboots your phone, disconnect the cable and pull the battery. Put it back in and do a full wipe/reset, and let it boot
If Odin fails to flash STOP messing with it, your next move should be to try the "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)" by Entropy512.
Cheers and good luck, It happens to the best of us (learning is fun, and try to get something out of it too)

why does your Odin say epic 4g? try this odin ... attached. And check update bootloader.
Your stock ROM file is .tar stock right? you might have to download it again if this fails it might be a bad tar file.

I will try both the suggestion and the new file
Is your battery out? Make sure you use the correct Odin version and your drivers are downloaded so your device can be recognized. Make sure your battery is out, that's how I unbricked my S2

Spent a frustrating day trying to sort this so I'm posting here as a last resort as I'm at the end of my tether!!
So. Was browsing the marketplace(new style) and my phone crashed and then would not reboot. It would only go as far as the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. so I took out the battery and half an hour later returned to see if all was well when I reinserted the battery. It wasn't. I should point out at this point that I was happily using the latest MIUI and appart from the occasional reboot all was well. When reinserting the battery did not work I tried to reboot into CWM but found that I could not. I can however reboot into download mode so have been trying to reflash my phone using that. However I can't get past factoryfs.img! It just stops there every time! Tried :
Usb Jig
Different USB ports
Restart computer
Reinstalling Kies drivers
A different version of ODIN
Many different ROM files (including Litening 1.5 which I know works from a previous flash)
Re downloading various ROMs in case the download was dodgy
Please, please help. I just don't know what to do now
Im thinking its very possible that something in your phone fried and the only option you have is service.. From the way you describe things as not advancing past factory fs.
You make no mention of flashing a stock rom via Odin .That is the normal method of recovery.

Flash this recovery package, which is XXKI3, 2.3.5, Open Europe http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
Tick the 3 top boxes (Re Partition, auto reboot and F.Reset time)
PIT -> PIT
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC
If that doesn't work or fails, flash this, which is a XXKI3 Kernel : http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6. After that, re-flash the recovery package (with PIT and repartitiong, but be careful )
Report back if it doesn't work, and good luck!
If that doesn't work, flash the old bootloader : http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD in either the PDA or Bootloader section in ODIN. If that is successful, flash the Kernel again, and then the XXKI3 recovery package I gave you.

looks too much mess up and you took wrong step in panic..
You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

Try to use Heimdall. Maybe that works.
You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

Hello,
I read a lot of threads but nothing worked and now I just want to now if my handy is dead! I hope you can give me some information. Maybe some solutions.
Here is my actual situation:
On day my handy was turned off. I tried to turn it on but it keeps in a bootloop. Only the first GT-!9100 was seen and it restarts.
I took out the battery and started it again. Then it booted until the message "App 1 of 1 will be optimized". I waited a long time (about 2 hours) and nothing happend. I took out the battery and tried to boot again. Same problem like at the beginning - again bootloop.
Then I tried to get in recovery mode. It worked! I wiped the cache and restartet my handy. But again bootloop. Now I couldn't get into recovery mode. The droid was lying with a red triangle and my handy restartet automatically. So I tried the download mode. It worked! I downloaded from sammobile the actual firmware I9100XWLSD_I9100DBTLS7_DBT. I tried to flash it with odin v3 1.85 over the PDA button. I connected the handy with odin it tells me that he found my handy and I started to flash. It stucks at cache.img. I waited over night. Nothing happend. Still stucking on cache.img. I took my battery out an dwhen I put it back an started may handy I get now the yellow triangle "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So tried another one with three parts and PIT. In this time with re-partition in odin. But same procedure. I stucked at cache.img.
I still have the yellow triangle and I only can get into download mode.
Then I heard from soft/hard brick problem. I also tried the solution with only flashing the PIT. But no success
So I tried a custom kernel Clockwork Mode Recovery (GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar) to get in recovery mode back. I tried to flash but it stuicks again at "NAND write". I waited again. Nothing happend. So I restarted my handy with tooking out the battery and putting it back again. But in download mode I see that my handy has a custom binary! So it worked. But I can't get into recovery mode of Clockwork
I also tried CF-Root. Here the same problem!
What's wrong with my handy? Is it broken? I've heard maybe I have to re-partition my hand over adb but I found nothing.
One thing is that for half a year I had a problem with my internal SD. It could not mount. After a update of the firmware (luckiely there was a new one!) over OTA it worked again. Maybe I have really a problem with my internal memory...
I hope I have give you all neede information to analyze my problem and I hope really you can help me. If not then it would be good to know if my handy is dead.
Thanks in advance

do u have your phone in warranty ?
also as u can get into download mode try flashing kernel stock kernel first then the flash the stock rom (3 way package) .. do not use pit
pit shud b the last option
I can image that the following happened to your phone (not sure, only a guess):
- you were on Android 2.3.x or 4.0.x
- there was on OTA update to 4.0.4 which caused the 'updating Apps' message
- for what reason ever it was not able to update all apps successfully
- you went to recovery and *wiped*!
Being on 4.0.4 this bricked your phone due to the emmc brick bug. After that all flashing / booting / etc. will fail ...
If this is the case, there is not much to do. There is a program and a thread to modify the partition table to make it re-useable, but only in special cases.

I read the thread of the emmc brick bug but my problem is that for solution one I can't flash Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1 because of stucking with odin.
For the 2nd solution I need to get in recovery mode and this is not possible because of the yellow triangle.

The thread says that it is possible to use the scanner manually in adb. Does it mean I can use it without going into recovery mode? If yes, would it be possible to explain to me how I can do it in few steps?

ADB is useable only in recovery mode or on a running system, unfortunately neither of those are working for you currently

Try to go in recovery mode and format the whole device inside recovery. Try to use odin to flash a recovery if your device doesn't boot in to. If you're successfully then try from there to flash a kernel and a zip from stock rom.

Thanks.

Which kernel should I try else? I used CF-Root and Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1. Can you give me some more information? Thanks.
@AndDiSa:
Nevermind. Thanks for your help.
@testadeferro
I tried to flash GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9. Odin stucked. After it I tried to get in recovery mode - no chance.
What kind of recovery should i use else?

were u able to flash siyah kernel successfully ?
Yeah, you need to know what part of your memory is corrupted in order to flash the right pit file. Now tell me something, are you 100% sure your nand was corrupted?

If he gets in download mode isn't time for mobo replacement but for a jtag maybee or riff box.

also once u done flashing the pit i mentioned above ... flash a stock kernel first .. then flash the entire rom
@neerajganga:
I used CF-Root and Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1. and Odin stucks. The left upper corner says "Kernel" and the green barrel is full but in the message there is no complete or success info. It just freezes. When I turn my handy on I get the yellow triangle and I can't get into recovery mode. When I'm in the download mode it shows me that I have a custom binary. So I think it worked but no boot or recovery mode possible.
No success with the PIT file. I choosed re-partiton and only your PIT file but Odin stucked.
@gastonw:
I don't know it exactly. First there was the bootloop then it wanted to optimize 1 of 1 app. After wipe cache no recovery mode anymore. That's why I tried the custom roms. I just can give you the information what I see in Odin and on my phone.
How can I know that my USB drivers are not working correct. In Odin I get the yellow ID:COM with my COM port shown. I tried now a different PC and there I just installed the USB drivers. No KIES. And still the same problem with my phone.
Maybe I really have to re-partiton my phone but right now I didn't found something to try it out. Maybe you can give me some information about it.
Thanks.

mr.mash
But you did flash a pit file right?

I was in the middle of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2301259
as i was flashing the file in ODIN 3.07 it said "FAIL" and then it was stuck downloading and then became stuck in Emergency mode... It boots into emergency mode no matter what i do... even after pulling the battery, holding VOL+ or VOL- +power and home button... what do i do now???
The only thing that was on the phone before trying to do that wipe was safestrap...
I have had no luck with KIES either.. my device wont show up.

What rom and build number were you on before you odin? Google Pit file of Verizon galaxy s4 or you can use Verizon galaxy note 2 pit file either one of them will work on it and then just odin PIT only, it should restore your phone to whatever it was on. Try that first and let me know.

I was not using a rom, but I had SuperSU and used unroot within that program. The only thing left on the phone was/is safestrap. My build before oding was MI1.
I will google for those put files and let you know how it goes.

I think if you install safestrap apk and then click on safestrap icon to uninstall. I don't use safestrap but it should be a way to uninstall otherwise if you want to get back to stock, you need to download stock tar and odin it.

I tried to root again, but I got a fail message... just like I am when i try to do the factory image no-wipe thing...
A girl I knows sgh-i777 crashed and only the Samsung logo would come up. It would not go into recovery. I tried using Odin 3.09 and the I777UCLE5 file and it would start then fail. I am not sure what I may be doing wrong.

Boot into recovery (hold power and both volume buttons until you see the Samsung logo, then release), and Factory reset it.
Should work then.

If you try the three button combination as Steve suggested, and you are unable to boot into recovery, or if you are able to perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery but it doesn't help, then post back with details of the phone's behavior, and we'll try to help you troubleshoot the problem.
The phone would not go into recovery. I used Odin 3.0.9 to flash it but it only whent so far and would fail. No the phone does not boot to the Samsung logo but another screen saying that the phone had been flashed but did not take or something to that and to try flashing again. It does go into Odin download mode. It appears that the phone and Odin program are communicating so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Do I need to use an older very of Odin or another version of software? I am also using a laptop with windows 8.1 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help.

I only have a minute now. I'll check back later this evening.
Use Odin v1.85 and flash the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean).
Both are available in the Download Repository, see my sig.
I'll give it a shot thanks.
When I go to download the i777UCMD8 firmware my pc says there may be viruses and even when I choose to download it it is placed somewhere in my pc and I cannot find the file. I did not have this issue when I downloaded i777UCMD5 . Still trying to figure it out though.

If you are downloading to Windows (7, 8.1 or 10) it will be placed by default in the Downloads directory. You should have a link in your File Explorer, or the path is C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Downloads.
If you have a failed flash in Odin, it will almost certainly be because of the connection between the computer and the phone, so either the USB port on the PC, the cable, or the microUSB port on the phone.
Thanks I will see what I can figure out.

The usb cable is fine, when I go to download the firmware I777UCMD8 the adg virus program will not let me download it because it says there is a virus. and I am going to your links to the firmware. When I started to flash the other firmware something had to do something because the phone starts up it saysFirmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I cannot also get the Odin 1.8 file you have it wants to install some kind of other software and not Odin 1.8 . I cannot figure why all of most downloads I need are not working. The Odin program I have failes at factoryfs.img

Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset if you are able to at this point. To get into recovery, hold down all three buttons of vol+ vol- and pwr until the Samsung logo appears, disappears, and appears again, then let go of the buttons.
I think you must be using AVG antivirus? If so, right click the AGV icon in the system tray in the lower right corner and select disable for 10 minutes or something similar, and then go download the file. There is no virus in the file, and it is safe to download, but sometimes the antivirus programs will flag certain types of websites and downloads. I would prefer that you try to install the UCMD8 firmware before we attempt to troubleshoot any issues.
Whatever steps you take from here forward, please describe them and the results you get, including copy and paste here the message box from Odin.

The link for Odin v1.85 in the Download Repository is a direct download link. When you click on it, you should get a blank browser page that has a google.com link in the address bar, and a download box at the bottom of the page. The downloaded file will be Odin3-v1.85.zip and is 203,676 bytes. Open it with an archiving program.
