Hi, i Think i soft bricked my sgh-i717. i can start the phone but it will not pass the samsung logo. i can not get into recovery mode and when i try to get into reocvery mode it just viberates and shuts off. i can get into download mode but it wont stay in download mode and shuts off and viberates.
this all started by me wanting to change roms. ive frist started by flashing to Liquid-JB-v2.0-RC7-quincyatt using cwm. it started to lag so i decided to switch roms. i factory wiped and used darkside super wipe and then flashed to Padawan Jelly Bean ROM + Phase Kernel using cwm. it didnt work at frist. i forgot to back up my stock and liquid jelly bean rom. so i couldnt go back. :/ so, i found a stock rom ( Android 4.0.3 IML74K.UCLD3) and installed it using odin. after installing the stock rom. i used cwm recovery to make a back up of the stock rom and then flashed to the padawan jelly bean rom using cwm. the rom was messing up so i went back into recovery mode and restored the stock rom. when i go try to restart the phone that's when the problems start to occur.. i hope this enough for somebody to help me..

Sounds like you may have a stuck power button. That happen to me. Try tapping it multiple times fast. Or flicking the back of the phone by the power button with your finger.

nah i have done this like 5 times with z4root and nothing happens :/
Sounds like you have messed up your phone by removing the touch screen files. I did it once, but i got mine fixed by factory reseting. Then installing another rom.

Install another rom with wipe...

I'm sorry..can you help me by finding the links?
well, I tried to do that all over again, but I can't install the custom recovery from rom manager because it requires internet connection...so now I found out that my 3G is not working either. :/ so I'm stuck.
Try installing the rom you already have on your memory. Before you install, wipe everything.

Hi got a galaxy tab 10.1 ive got the Kang CM9 ICS rom on it, worked fine for about a month then suddenly just started crashing
did a hard reset device powers on charges starts to load boot image then freezes and crashes.
im able to launch recovery mode, tried doing factory reset and it wouldnt go through.
tried cache whipe was able to complete and the boot logo lasted longer then froze and crashed again.
not sure what happened and im thinking the only thing left to try is a full reflash
has anyone else experianced this?
thanks in advance

I've not experienced this because I haven't messed much with Kang CM9 ICS, but my first suggestion would to be restore from nandroid backup. If you're like me, in the past, you didn't do one or can't access it. So a full reflash or possibly going back to stock and then a reflash would be my suggestion.
If you decide to go back to stock first, or still need to after a reflash, the overcome ROM thread is a good place to lead you to 7500 & 7510 stock ROMs. You'll find a link to a guide outside xda there where towards the bottom part of the guide it says Restocking yer system.

thanks Benzoman was able to reflash the stock rom from rogers using ODIN after which it got stuck in a bootloop. then tried data wipe in recovery mode and it booted up like normal.
any idea what could have caused it?
Depends if you had HC 3.1 as a base firmware, more likely to crash, then another would be what version of ICS you used, because the kang is at milestone 4, the current stable march edition.
Hi Guys
I flashed the leaked ICS but hate it. Can I flash to stock GB via Odin? What about the baseband versions etc.., would it matter?
Sorry, I read another thread but it's unclear and I want to avoid bricking. Thanks
As far as what I've read you can flash stock from Odin or even use CWM to a previous nandroid of gingerbread.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If you got your Note from AT&T, simply flash this stock ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
I went from ICS back to Gb cause I missed the tethering and it was easy. Just make sure you clear the caches and all should be well.
Thanks.. I was worried of the different baseband would have any adverse effect, but it doesn't sound like it will. I'll give it a try.
I Odin'd back to stock and I'm in a world of ****. My phone cant do anything, it just gets stuck on every swipe and reboots about every 5 minutes. Does anyone have any ideas?
Mines fine..only baseband is different, phone works.
Before I Odin to stock, I booted into recovery, factory reset and wiped cache. Odin, then booted into recovery and performed another factory reset and wiped cache again.

When I boot into recovery I get the screen that tells me to use the up and down keys and when I choose factory wipe, and press power button, nothing happebs. If I hold it down eventually the phone shuts off. When i restart it, nothing changed.

I had to revert from ICS to GB yesterday and, even tho I am on Telus, I had success by flashing the pda-odin-att-stock.rar image
I can't post links .. I'm too new. But literally.. google what's bolded above and you will find the hotfile link.
It replaced everything (including the recovery) ... FULL system image. Solved everything and brought me back to 100% stock.
So yes, I lost my root and my CWM recovery software.. but it got my phone working again.. I can reflash CWM and re-root as I need.
After the install, wipe cache, factory reset etc.
I too flashed the stock ATT rom but like the previous poster, it gave me a phone which started up but wouldn't work. When I tried to get into recovery mode, it went to a screen with the recovery mode stuff at the top, but with a yellow warning sign in the middle and some words about manual mode, and it would not let me do a wipe or reset.
Here is what I just did that did work.
I flashed the recovery-i717-cwm-b4.tar file with odin. This worked and allowed me to get into the "proper" recovery mode to do a wipe and factory reset, as well as a cache wipe. I then reflashed tieh the stock ATT rom, and my phone now is back to stock.
Help!!! Have a Galaxy S3 rooted and CM installed. I installed Omega rom coming from stock ICS. I did not wipe cache or factory reset. After install it will not boot whatsoever. Tried using odin to recover with no luck. I'm afraid I bricked the phone already. How do I boot from power of to at least get to CWM?

well its almost impossible to brick a phone by doing what you said...
so, to boot to download mode its volume down, home and power
to boot to CWM directly its volume up, home and power.
Wait,
When you say stock ICS, do you mean the stock Samsung ROM or do you actually mean Vanilla ICS such as AOSP / AOKP / CM9?
When you say Omega ROM, do you mean the Stock Samsung based one, or teh AOKP one?
Be aware that system settings stored in /data for a stock samsung rom will not work well (probably preventing boot) on a vanilla AOSP/AOKP/CM rom and vice versa.
Please clarify exactly what ROM you are coming from and what ROM you have flashed.
i failed to mention I tried both button combinations and nothing is working
Have you tried starting fresh from a battery pull?
Take the battery out for a few minutes then re-insert it. See if the combinations work then.
well if you phone is giving you no sign of life at all the nits not looking good.
Tell us exactly what you did, because from the little you told us above there is no way you have bricked.
I was coming from the stock Samsung ICS 4.0.4 to Omega v3 rom if that helps
i'll try the battery pull. I tried it earlier similar to the Droid X recovery from power off

Please give us a step by step of what you did, exactly - including what buttons you pressed and when.
Please try not to leave anything out.
Also try removing the battery like I said.
...and.... When you sya it does nothing, do you mean nothing? No scvreen, no button back lights, no vibrations?
Have you tried pulling the SD card?

what happens when you put the power cable in?
Got the Galaxy S3 on thursday. Left completely stock until yesterday. Yesterday I rooted the phone and installed CWM using odin. The phone was working fine. Downloaded Omega rom v3 overnight. Before installing the rom did a nandroid backup. Installed the rom but without doing a factory/data reset or partition format. Clicked on the radio button to finish install where is said it should reboot. Waited a while as I know new roms can initiallly take longer to boot. Then the phone never rebooted. Next I tried both button combinations several times with no response from the phone. Now I can get the LED to light up while attached to a charger that's it. My PC doesn't even see it as a drive or as a device now. I had a HTC EVO before this and installed many ROM with no problem like this and felt comfortable enough to do the S3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated at this moment.
if i plug the cable in the computer recognizes something put still doesn't see the device
keep trying the download mode combo
hold volume down and don't let go
hold home and don't let go
hold power until you see life - don't let go of the other two!
if I ever do see life again then what next?

when your in download mode you can flash a stock rom back with odin
okay thank you.
I've had stuck boot and no recovery and had to remove micro sd before I could get into recovery or download mode.
no life...looks like i'll have to return it
yeah i removed the sd card thinking the rom was on it. No luck. How'd you get yours to recover?
Hi Guys,
Last night for some reason my GT-19100T running CM9.1.0 wouldn't lock by pressing the power button, the button itself seems to be working. I can press the button down but nothing happens. I left it for the night and came into work this morning, I thought it might be a bug with the rom, i managed to boot into recovery via the "Rom Manager" app and was going to flash to CM10. My problem is now that i am in recovery, I can't select anything as the power button is not working. I can scroll through the recovery menu with the volume buttons but cant select anything, and now soon as the phone turns on after removing the battery, it goes straight to recovery mode and i cant get around it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for about 3 hours and same thing. I can boot into download mode, But at the moment that doesn't help me.
Any suggestions on what i can do? I'm not worried about warranty so i may pull the phone apart and clean it tonight. Thanks in advance.
Update:
After much playing around with the button i can get it work, it is very temperamental and requires to be pushed in the right way. Was able to flash with Touch recovery and am now updating to CM10 nightlies. Thanks all for your help on my first post.

Hi!
First, have you tried flashing a stock firmware? If that does not help, you can try cleaning your hardware.. it may be dusty or something.. be careful! I hope you get this sorted out.
Also, i hope my suggestion will help you out, cheers!!

Okay, Flashed back to stock ICS rom, Got a little bit further but still no go. It gets the "S" loading screen and stays there, Still cant do factory reset via Android Recovery as it also needs the power button to select. Someone suggested installing CWM touch recovery but i cant find a .tar version of "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2" downloaded from CWM website. Any suggestions on how i can install this without using recovery? Thanks.

I guess you have to flash them with odin..
1. Flash a stock firmware to get you out of bootloop
2. Flash the latest siyah kernel cause it's a touch recovery via odin as well
Do you want me to post the links or will you find it yourself?
I hope this helps, cheers!
