Okay so it was just purchased yesterday at Walmart with android 4.1.2 preinstalled.
I followed the guide here and when it rebooted i now have inverted everything. The digitizer thinks its being pressed in the middle of the screen on the right when i press the back button and well everything is flipped.
I am trying to get root for my brother so we can install CWM recovery and flash CM 10.1. I have rooted many devices even created ROMs and edit smali code. I don't get what is going wrong with this setup but something is totally wrong.
Thanks all for your help!
Im making progress.. just.. really... sleepy.. xD

Remember the first page is to get your phone ready for root. The second page is to get your computer ready. Read both pages first several times if need be. Remember to REPLACE the bin file, replace.

Yes I got the correct kdz for the device and have successfully rooted and fixed the touchscreen. Now it's just a matter of installing cwm.

Use the 1.5 version from artas and you should be just fine. Good luck

Well, I just received my phone today and I decided to root it by following a guide. Little did I know that firmware I was rooting was not meant for this phone. Now the phone shows the Samsung screen for a split second and then it turns off.
Is there anything I can do to restore it back to normal? I only have access to download mode right now.
Pm howtomen hrs helped someone earlier today in irc. not sure how. But you're still ok

If you can get into download mode you're ok. You need to flash a stock rom and you'll be back to normal. Don't flash chainfire's root from the international thread because the kernel is not the same.

Already done
I hadn't rooted before the OTA ICS update (TELUS) but decided to finally root my phone and stuff....
i wasn't being really careful i guess and I just tried the one click odin method but I found out later this doesn't work on ICS i717.... hence my phone now seems to be bricked
it gets stuck on samsung logo. I really don't want to try and factory reset my phone and stuff... is there another way to try and unbricking this thing? I've now downloaded CWM on ma phone but I dunno how this is going to help...
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Look at my thread
That is a soft brick if it was brickd. It wouldnt do anything at all. If u have cwm download a rok. Wipe data/cache and flash it . You can also always jut use odin. To flash a tar
Code:
thanks guys! managed to get all my data back + rooted

Hi! I'm new here!
On my galaxy s2 in recovery mode I don't see "Install zip from sdcard" for example. Or "Backup and restore"
What can I do?
Mention: I want to install cm9 from sdcard and I can't because I don't see that items.

Ah that's why. Please read the rolled up sticky thread in this forum on how to safely root your phone. Then you can start loading custom ROM's on to it. DON'T rush take your time, read carefully and follow the instructions exactly. There are lots of benefits to being careful and patient and expensive mistakes if you rush into this. All the best and happy flashing.

If there is none for you yet, you cant get it. That simple however, you are able to flash a JB kdz using the offline flash method. Hope it helps

A lot of us forced the ota when jb first came out. Do a search for it too find out how.

I am on 4.0.4 p76810g now and want to update it to JB. I seems to remember that update won't happen if it find not all the T-Mobile apps are on the phone. I think I have removed one or two and frozen several other. Is there a way to check if my phone can be updated to JB?

You don't have to get it back to stock (you can keep root if you want), but you need to have all unmodified stock apps. Those stock apps can be disabled, but should not have been removed.
If you remember which stock apps you have removed, you can try to ask for them here from people who hasn't updated yet (or extract from some backup people made). You can look at this file /system/cache/recovery/last_log to see the error / missing apps at the end.
But I think the easy way you should go to update is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359044

There is no /system/cache. You have to find /cache/recovery/last_log.

Will this make it easier to unlock the bootloader? I am stuck at 15% like a lot of other people.
Thanks!
If you are stuck at 15% then you need to keep your phone on instead of s/w upgrade mode then try.
Im not sure.if v10e will help but have to try right?
