More information is needed before we can suggest anything that would help. Start by telling us everything about your phone, what it was running, why you were going back to stock, etc.

Maybe you think we can just look into a crystal ball and divine what is wrong with your phone and how to fix it? No, we need more information. So, since you can't think what information to provide, I'll ask specific questions. You will need to answer these questions completely and thoroughly. (I hope you will, as you did not answer very much of the questions I posed in my last response.)
So lets start with those:
1. Tell us everything about your phone. How long have you had it? Did you buy it new or are you the second owner? What operating system was it running before you started the process that caused your question? I assume this means what operating system was on the phone when you tried to root? One would assume that since it wasn't rooted, it had been stock? Was it working normally before you tried to root?
2. What exactly did you use to try to root the phone? What method did you use, or specifically what did you flash to achieve root? You didn't get the yellow warning triangle from flashing stock, so it must have occurred when you tried to root.
Let's start with that. If I need more after you answer these, I'll ask.

Am I correct in assuming that after you first tried SuperOneClick, the phone was able to boot normally? I am guessing you were able to boot the phone or you wouldn't know that superuser.apk was installed.
And how did you know that the root didn't work?
I'm not sure exactly what SuperOneClick does, but I don't think it will work with stock 4.0.2.
By the way, since the S4 was released, a lot of people have left the I777 forums so I don't know if you'll find anyone else to help besides myself. I'll try to check on this thread as often as I can, but you may have to wait hours between messages.
Edit: Oh and have you tried to boot into recovery. If not, try it now. Hold down vol- vol+ and pwr continuously for at least two initial boot screens. And if you by some chance can enter recovery, I'll need to know that information.

Alright listen, you're gonna be fine.
You really dodged a bullet as your phone is SOFT BRICKED.
This is easily fixed, the phone I'm typing this with had the same issue.
First, get into download mode and make sure your battery is out, this is often looked over. As long as your battery is out before odining you're fine.
Now using ODIN I'd flash an official ROM from the Samsung site. Get that tar/md5 file and hook it up to PDA. Start the flash.
If it fails flashing try it AGAIN.
If it fails IMMEDIATELY then try a different ROM.

ok guys thank you very much for your time and your patience.
i try to flash the stock rom on another computer and.... BOOM!! the phone is working again. :laugh: :victory:

[Q] Can't root device. But it says I have.

Having some odd issues.
I was rooted but I decided to unroot and go back to stock.
Now I want to try a new rom so I went through the rooting procedure. Unsecure kernel, then run s2root. It says its perm rooted but when I reboot the phone things act up. Rom manager doesn't say im not rooted, but any action that requires rooting just freezes the app (not the phone). I downloaded a basic root checker and it states im not rooted. But s2root says I am

Flash a stock rom and than flash CF root from Chainfire for your rom and you`re done. You`ll have su, bb and recovery.
Lol ,
you are on a Very old leak.
flash over a No wipe Off leak like hazerd rom.
ore flash a CF root by odin

Edit: Found the right kernel. So far so good. Thanks!
Well my excitement was short lived.
I've tried multiple kernels. Every one has an issue with mounting the internal SD card. My phone is now usless at the moment because I don't have any other roms on the card to install. I cant put any on because it wont mount. Giving me a unable to open ums lunfile.
I have SensatioN ROM 3.0 ICS ready but that installs Kernel CF-ROOT 5.4 which causes a panic, can't even get into recovery.
Currently Im stuck. I have no idea how to solve this. Any thoughts?
Giving me a unable to open ums lunfile.
Search XDA for that topic it was very recent and i think they may have found a fix in the post .

Did a search, found some people trying to use SiyahKernel v2.6.14 so tried that. Can't get into recovery or boot. It's like my phone has gotten worse since I tried to unroot it many months back. The primary issue, so far, is that I am unable to mount the sd card in recovery. So I can at least put some roms on to install. At the moment my phone is rom-less.

Can you not flash stock rom via ODIN .
jje
I tried this rom GT-I9100_XXLP6_original, but I cant mount SD card from that one.
You should follow jje's suggestion: flash with ODIN.
And: don't use a leaked firmware. I suggest you use the last official GB firmware, just to check that things are working. If this is the case you can go ahead, but you should stick to official releases and root them with CF-Root, as suggested by others.

What firmware can be flashed on a p509t?

Hey yall, i was wondering what firmware can be flashed and using what method is the safest for an Optimus P509T? I ask because as far as i know theres now TMO stock firmware for that phone and i know they can be totally bricked in just a second. I can only reach emergency mode so keep that in mind for a response... Thanks!
If your talking about the Optimus T, that's what i use now. I've flashed a bunch of firmwares and been gone up to this point. Unless yours is different?
Sent from my hands using a phone
Sorry, mis spell error. What i was trying to say is that as far as i know theres no firmware for the OptimusT specific. Also that i can only reach emergency mode is there a specific safe way to flash it.
Alright. I get what your saying now. Let me explain.
The p509t is compatible with ALL p500 roms unless specified. I have yet to see one not specified. there used to be some roms that were p509 specific, but their links have died or been lost. Now what you need to flash is Clockwork Mod recovery. There are other recoveries but this one is very simple and most stay off with it due to getting cyanogenmod. Look up clock work mod in app store. From there in the app flash the clockwork recovery. To get back into recovery after turning off press power + Volume up + home. Glad i could help.
Sent from my hands on a phone.
Ok, i think i didnt make myself clear lol... The phone is stock in the lg screen, no hardware buttons response or whatsoever. The only thing i can read using the hardware buttons is emergency mode. It will not boot to home screen so my guess is that clockworkmod is not an option, just flashing stock official. Thats what i want to know the better method to flash back to stock. By the way thanks for your help M8
Oh... Well there is a tool, don't know the name at the moment.

mihir287 said:
After many posts trying to help newbies, there are a few questions that are alarmingly common. I hope that this thread will remove such questions from the development section.
For the guide, refer to the next post.
General
Q. I have an Optimus T (P509) will all optimus one roms work for me?
A. For a detailed explanation of this issue check this post.
Q.Will roms for the new baseband on the Optimus One work on the Optimus T? Can the new O1 baseband work with OT?
A. See this post.
Q. I flashed a different baseband on my Optimus T, how can I get back to the original baseband?
A. See this (Doktornotor's guide mentioned in the post is here). Or, if you feel this method is too complicated, just flash the downloaded .kdz file using the KDZ method.

A. Refer to [HOWTO] Phone not responding at all - last chance to repair.
Q. I was using KDZ updater and now I am stuck at boot!
A. Turn off the phone and do a hard reset (home+vol down+power) first. Not booting still? Use this thread to unbrick. See this picture guide if you want to try again.
Q. What about LGMDP?
A. Members doktornotor and cyber_avijit have nice tutorials/FAQs regarding the usage of LGMDP here and here respectively. You can also refer to this picture guide if you want.
If any question has not been mentioned, then search through the discussion thread for your rom first and see if it is a problem pertaining to your rom. If you are unable to find anything, you can ask it here.

Allright, i have done everything fine as far as i know but still receiving errors on while flashing. The phone reboots but it gets stock on the lg logo still. This is the start of the log file it produces, still it looks like everything is flashing but no luck when it reboots.
I think you would get more replies, if you change the title in your original post to reflect your problem.

European ROM on China Unicom branded Sgs 3

Hi,
I am looking into getting a European ROM running on the sgs3 I bought here in China.
I tried downloading the official Samsung rom from UK, but I failed during installation of the modem part. It rendered my phone useless, and it took hours getting it back up with the kies and the official Chinese rom.
I used the software called Odin i believe, to attempt the update.
To me, it seems as if it is not that easy, maybe due to the modem thing, but can anyone verify that this will never work?
The main reason for applying a different rom is, that it seems that none of the Google apps are going to work. I can't install them, but they won't run. The apps seem to load, put with no message, it closes and the phone returns to the previous screen.
Anyone with any input on this?

Huum, but you were able to install Google Play? I already installed twice but the app keeps crashing everytime that I try to open it.
And I must say; I was frustrated to realize that my SGS3 didn't came with a SD card on it.
Hi,
I was able to install it yes, but have the same problem as you. It starts to load, and suddenly it just disappears.
No cash message, no nothing. That is why I think this is a limitation that is put there on purpose.

Hi,
Just for an update.
I was looking into getting a european rom on to my phone, but ended up doing a ROOT instead, and then install Google Apps.
Everything is just the way I like them now
To root and install CWM (Needed to install the Google Apps), i followed this guide:
*Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link
After having downloaded the software neccesary, it took about 30 seconds for my phone to be ready.
I then did more or less as this guide *Can't link to the guide due to forum policies. PM me, and I will give you the link says.
With the only exception, that I copied the Google Apps zip-file to the SD card from Windows explorer, and bootet into recovery mode by holding the HOME, VOLUME UP and POWER button at the same time, after having powered off my phone.
Now, all the apps are working as I have been used to.
To solve your Problem and install official rom from Samsung to your phone you need to buy Odin Mobile.
For Chinese phone, when you use computer with odin, there is something that is blocked on the Phone so you cannot install any firmware from odin using the pc.
With odin Mobile u can flash >>>> personnally i flashed the one of Samsung GS3 HK because i still want to have some chinese stuff in my phone as i like to have.. And work perfectly !
Hope it will help you ! cordially!

But what I have done, is to find the modem-file for installation, and I am now using a rom called Omega, currently a version 19.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656
First off, I install the ROM, and afterwards, I install the modem.
Everything seems to be working just fine.
The Omega rom, is the official Samsung rom, with some "hacks" - during installation you are for instance asked if you want the complete thing, or if you want to leave out all bloatware.
Official Samsung will no longer be available OTA, as the updating process detects, that the phone has been altered.
I live in China and own a SGS3 bought here in china. What you have to do is flash a kernel that is compatible with TRIANGLE AWAY to reset to zero the flash counter on the phone. Then you should be able to flash any original Samsung ROM made for the SGS3. If it doesn't work, you might also have to flash the stock XLH1 modem. Then it should work.

Hello thank's for your support. Are you sure that it will work with a Unicom brandet S3? I tried to flash it before, after this it doesn't work anymore. So i had to go to Samsung service point and pay to recover it. Thanks'
solution
Hello all,
i found the solution. The Chinese S3 has another boot sector, so it can't be flashed by Odin with any other firmware.
I found in a Chinese forum how to make it.
First you have to root, this was no problem.
You have to install mobile odin, because mobile doesn't flash the boot image.
Now you can copy any firmware to sd card and flash.
Best Regards

Opps… TiBu Frozen Apps, lost root, bad to worse

I hoping that someone may be able to help me with this… I recently rooted my note via instructions here and installed CWM and TiBu. So far so good!
I began freezing some of the bloat and then found this post to see what else I could freeze. This is were things went wrong… I guess that I may have frozen something that I shouldn’t have because my home button stopped responding and then the back button took me to a black screen.
At this point I thought that my phone was nearly bricked, so I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile and flashed it. Still have a black screen, but I received a text and pop-up through chomp which let me know that my phone was still alive! I installed Go Launcher and can now can use my phone as 'normal'. However, I no longer have root according to TiBu, CWM and the like. I can still boot into download and recovery modes.
I found this thread, but it didn’t do much for me.
How’s that for an introductory post?!!

ICS. I've seen all of the tools in that thread, but not sure if I need the screwdriver or the hammer to 'get my root back' in this situation. Ultimately I'd like to be able to do it without having to do a full wipe/recovery.
Freezing an app will not brick your phone...
and in this case....you did not need to flash a new firmware. you could have simply pulled the battery, then put it in and booted to recovery to restore a backup.
but of course, the new firmware did break root....
bigjoe is right on the links info. it has all you need to start again.....and I "would" re-root using the odin CWM flash method......

Bigjoe for moderator !!!
Good to go!! Apparently twlauncher was inadvertently frozen which explains the black screen. Had I realized what the problem was, yes a simple recover from backup might have fixed it.
So tell me this, as I am still learning here... What is the difference in the method in bigjoe's thread vs trying to re-root my phone by the method I used previously? Whenever I tried to install SU after the original method I used, I would get a failed signature error. No problems with using bigjoe's recommendations.

Those things, combined with the fact that he invented the first telephone, make him knowledgeable in all things android and beyond ....so take his word for it ...
And ..after every post ..please use the phrase ....." BIGJOE FOR MODERATOR"....
While it isn't the Crusades over again, he certainly deserves to be one.
After all ...he did invent the telephone for cryin out loud .....LOL
Bigjoe for moderator !!!!!.......H...O....O...T !!!

Does VRUFNK1 work with i545 all in one root?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720
Will this method work with VRUFNK1?
I did a search within that thread for VRUFNK1 and it didn't return any hits so I just wanted to make sure it works. If anybody has gotten it to work, please let me now. Thanks!

NEGATIVE its super outdated. Your going to have to temp downgrade just the kernel (boot.img) to NC2 or NC5 then use Towelroot to root then reflash the NK kernel (boot.img) to complete the root for NK. An indepth explanation including the steps taken in development to root the last 3 versions of our firmware as well as files can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2720163
After rooting its suggested you install Safestrap 3.75 A03 for i545 then do a NAND backup. Safestrap will also allow you to install a few different custom ROMs but you'll be limited to TouchWiz ROMs with a few exceptions on the AOSP/GPE side. Any ROM you plan on flashing will be explicitly labeled for Safestrap somewhere in the OP. Avoid CM ROMS and TWRP and CWM Recoveries and any Kernel besides 4.42 Stock Kernels (NC2/5,NG6,NK1 boot.img) as they will all softbrick your phone/void your warranty. Softbricks can be fixed by flashing a whole Odin package for Firmware. Following the instructions I posted or my thread will keep your KNOX enabled phone's warranty technically intact and by that I mean you won't trigger KNOX's warranty bit and will remain at 0x0.
Thats the locked bootloader safe S4 instructions in a nutshell hope it helps. Remember searching the i545 threads will result in more useful information.
What am I doing
So I have been trying this for about 2 hours. I run the RUN_ME.bat file. Press 1 and enter. It doesn't recognize Odin so I manually open it. I go to download mode and everything and open the tar file. The process starts but it just gets stuck on boot.img. What am I doing wrong? Please help.
help with tar
i get to the part uncheck f reset and pda part and due way told but all i get it is failed..any help what am doing wrong or how can fix this thank
Working properly?
I pressed option one, it said
"Daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037
Damon started successfully "
and it's been like that for almost an hour now. Is this normal? Should I keep waiting or should I try something else
ok so im running into an issue.....
im running the stock 5.0.1 and tried running on option 1. once it gets to the Odin part the Odin download fails. any insight?

Yeah. the only option to root stock 5.0.1 is kingroot.
and the only "recovery" is actually not a recovery but it is flashfire

fail. i mean, i have no problem using kingroot. but is it because the bootloader is still locked?

Yes and safestrap is pretty much useless as is with lollipop.
Reading enough threads on using ss on oc1 can yield some results but are not for beginners.
Or you will be using Odin more than you would like to.

so now i really feel like an idiot. i tried kingroot and that failed as well. thinking maybe it was because i had started the tool i tried flashing the old 4.4.2 so i could take the OTA again and try over. but that failed as well. now im at a loss for what to do next. ive seen the flashfire posts but im hesitant to do that and lose everything that i have

ok, I odin back to the stock oc1. I downloaded Kingroot and went to run it
when I open kingroot i see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I clicked 'start root' and it gets up to 55% before my phone reboots. When it tarts back up i go into kingroot again and see this screen:
what am i missing?
Edit: I tried it again and this came up:
It should work. Many users have done it with no problems.
