I was on an international based rom and downloaded something that was supposed to be a fix for something. so after the download it took me to recovery to install and reboot. I flashed the zip and it obviously wasn't for my carrier because my screen went black then did the samsung logo, then my twrp recovery screen, but then right back around to the samsung logo. I can get to odin but not recovery. in odin it shows my phones product name correctly, says custom binary download and says no, current binary says samsung official, then system status says custom...Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help. I am so f***** without this phone...Please someone help....Thank You all..What can I do????

Lol yes, sorry kinda going crazy here. Thanks for responding, I appreciate that even. I was on Goodness i605 note 2. I must have screwed up by downloading something in those minsettings that was for a different carrier. It said it was a network error fix I believe. It then took me to recovery to flash the zip and thats when all hell broke loose. It just keeps booting over and over and after the samsung label it shows the twrp screen for a split second then it's just gone. It was obviously a huge mistake and I am an idiot for doing it. I have been trying to get things done through the pc and usb to the phone to fix it and that seems to be the other part of my problem is since I can't turn the usb debugging on on my phone i can't download anything through the usb, Right?...I'm a noob basically and obviously, lol but thanks for responding even if you have no advise.

Dude go into recovery with the rom still installed, and dirty flash the rom while only wiping cache and dalvik. So long as you didn't wipe system you should be fine doing that.
And read more. The op of goodness specifically said don't flash ANYTHING from that till he gives the go ahead. Or it will softboot your phone like it just did

Thank you for the input but I don't believe that will work, I can't get into recovery. I can only get into odin download. But yes I read that as well, after I did it thanks
I would tey returning to stock feom odin, and starting all over again. I am not sure this would work, but it is worth a shot.

Odin can be buggy, a lot of the issues are with USB cables and whatnot. Try some of these
1. Try Odin a few times, if it doesn't work disable any and all antivirus, reboot PC and try again.
2. If still no success, try reinstalling all drivers and yet again try again.
3. If that fails, use a different USB port.
4. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable.
5. If all else fails just try a different PC.
Frankly your phone has reached rock bottom so any fails with Odin should not make the problems worse than they are now. Keep us posted and good luck.

Ill give all that a go for sure thank you very much. Is there any possible way through your computer connected to your phone through the usb that you can turn on the usb debugging on your phone from your computer? Long shot I'm sure but it seems like if I could get that turned on I would be working in the right direction
are you getting into download mode on the phone itself and seeing the yellow triangle? you can flash the stock samsung firmware through odin which also unroots and then start over with rooting and such.
I would do what wto said. I have had odin fail multiple times because my drivers were not loaded correctly. Keep plugging away at it, and it might surprise you. Good luck, and sorry.....

Thank you all for being so helpful, really I appreciate it. Yes I can get to download and for the first time I was able to get those return to stock files to go through odin sucessfully but then it rebooted and then went into a different loop with just the samsung logo? In the post it said shut it down then and go into recover but I tried and it just goes right back into the loop? any idea from there?
I don't want to give you bad advice at this point. Honestly, this is my first Samsung device. You can still get into downlpad mode correct? If so, you are not completely screwed (hopefully). I will look around tomorrow, and see what I can dig up. At this point you know you can flash files with odin, so dont get careless at this point. I know how frustrating, and anxious you must feel. What a great learning experience, huh? My advice is to do as much research as possible. Getting late, so until tomorrow.

Did you flash the PIT file when you flashed the return to stock files? Which return to stock files did you flash? If you haven't already done this try flashing just the PIT files in Odin and see if that will work for you, if not then flash the alternative recovery ROM and the PIT together in Odin and see if that works.

If you can still get into download your phone will still be functional. I have a few questions.
1. What version of android were you rooted on?
2. Were you ever successfully rooted at any point?
3. Can you get your phone to be recognized in ODIN?
You shouldn't have to need USB debugging if you can get into download mode, for all I know download mode uses the same USB debugging properties as it is not in the OS yet.
Keep us posted and please don't leave out details in-case someone else comes around with a similar issue. If you do get something working, try to put a step-by-step on how you did it for future reference.
Great Learning experience for sure, I thought I was getting good at figuring out what I could and couldnt download lol..yes I'm extremely bummed and even more frusterated. I appreciate all the help and direction. I am truely sorry to even have to ask for help guys believe me. Yes I was rooted, yes I get recognized by odin in download mode and as for the version I was last on I am not sure exactly what I was on...i never got the latest update from verizon because I was rooted before that. So I rooted just after that verizon update that was the security patch I believe?? So I did the pit file with the root66 first and it keeps going all the easy tell the end of the download amd then fails...however I then did the pit with the stock restore and it passed, rebooted my phone then goes into a boot loop and I shut it down like it says in the directions and try to restart into recovery and it goes right back to the bootloop..its like I dont have a recovery set up or something anymore if thats possible?? I'm working now but ill be back to messing with it once I get off so any advice will be appreciated and put to use at 5mst...thanks again everuone
I am just thinking out loud, but if recovery is hosed, maybe you could run casual, and have it reinstall rhe custom recovery. I have no idea if this would work, but it is one way ro get a custom recovery back on. Still looking around for more info, but I dont want to brick your device completely.
Edit- You may try flashing twrp from odin. Here is a link to team.win's website, and download. Again, I am thinkong out loud, and none of my advise is bulletproof.

So I spent a lot of time yesterday trying to install Ultimatum 2.0 on my i777 yesterday, and it finally worked after many hours. Then today, I decided to do a factory reset under "settings" and this is where the fun begins.
The phone rebooted into the screen with the Samsung Galaxy s2 along with the usual yellow exclamation mark, then froze. I tried restarting the phone and the same thing happened. Now I have nothing.
The Power + Volume (+/-) doesn't work so I can't get into CWM. I can get into Odin Mode with USB connection however.
So my question is, how can I fix this? I've already done a lot of reading on the topic but still haven't come up with a definite answer.
The basic idea is to flash the phone with Odin, but where can I get the files needed? Is there anything else I need to know? Thank you in advance

why factory reset under settings? wipe data/factory reset is done in CWM.
flash a CWM kernal in odin. boot into CWM. flash whatever ROM you want.
yeah...it was a careless decision of mine.
So would the siyah kernel work? That's what I had before. Thank you

any kernal would work, depending on the ROM you want. And if you know how to Flash in odin/heimdall. Not sure about Odin, but it might require a certain file type. heimdall is easier IMO, if you know the commands.

This subject is covered already. Before u even use Odin u MUST already have the proper drivers for your phone installed. On windows 7 its much easier to do, but any windows version is fine. http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-i777-USB-Driver-for-AT-T.shtml
I found this on a Google search. May help, but trying to resolve problems by searching a lot and reading through pages of data on how to do things is the best way to learn. If that sounds like a lot of work, it is. But we're all here to learn. Good luck.

Honestly, there are so many many threads/posts mentioned about that. Some buried under but yes there are many. I can't even remember where exactly they are now but I will post link if stumble across.
In the mean time, help yourself by searching "yellow triangle", "binary counter", "brick", "back to stock", .......
Also, a lesson, do read up, be sure, be prepare before doing anything to the phone.
FIXED!!! SO HAPPY. Thanks for all the help guys.
It turned out to be a driver problem and that was the reason why odin wouldn't detect it. I installed the i777 drivers from the samsung website but those don't work.
anyone who's having a similar problem install the full driver set here: http://uploaded.to/file/xeczx9xt (grabbed from another xda thread)
1.) uninstall any existing samsung usb drivers.
2. ) Reboot computer
3.) install the new drivers.
4.) Reboot again
5.) Open Odin, do the button combination with your phone (2 volume buttons and hold)
Flash with instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525821
Hope this helps someone in the future.
So last night I decided to play around with my phone since I had been running stock ICS for a while. I still had some battery issues so was going to try out a few roms and see how they were all doing these days. I started off by flashing a siyah kernel using odin to get root. Everything went smooth. I then installed ROM manager and stupidly tried to flash CWM from within the app. The app completely froze and once I rebooted the phone would not boot correctly. I get the initial triangle bound galaxy s II screen but after that just a blank screen. Beyond that, the buttons and display flash ever so often very briefly but thats it. I could still get to download mode so I figured I would just use the "return to stock" thread to start over. Unfortunately I seem to have completely messed something up because I can't finish flashing anything, the computer beeps like I unplugged the USB cable and plugged it back in in the middle of anything that takes longer to flash than just a kernel and odin reports that it fails. When I used to just leave my phone plugged into my computer and it was at full charge it seemed to randomly do the same beeping as well. I think my next plan of action is to let the battery drain a bit and try to do a full flash (with bootloaders) and hope that it makes it all the way through without disconnecting as it seems to shut down the usb connection when at full battery for some reason.
In summary, I can get to download mode at this point, or a firmware failed to load screen. Ive tried various things with odin, heimdel and kies to no avail. Odin seems to have some marginal success except for the random disconnecting. Anyone have any advice for me (beyond trying to flash with the phone at around 50% battery or am I buying a Galaxy Nexus today?
Thanks in advance
If u can't get into cwm just flash a stock firmware from the download repository or from creepycrawlys sig. Odin should work fine in download mode regardless of what recovery rom manager installed. Make sure u have the latest drivers on your computer for the i777. Also I've found when I do the Odin flashes that the best way to get it to work is to start Odin with yer phone disconnected THEN connect it after Odin is started. Don't use rom manager in the future.

The random disconnecting sounds like either a bad cable or a bad USB port. Try to flash using a different USB cable...if that doesn't work, you may have a hardware issue.

I would stay away from packages with bootloaders. Too easy to fully brick your phone. I would use the one creepyncrawly posted here. Make sure you read and follow the directions to avoid Brickbug. This will put you on rooted stock ICS. You should then be able to flash to your hearts content.

No, ROM manager is still one of the worst things you could use on an I777. Stay away from it. I believe OP realized his mistake after the fact, he included it so that others could better answer his question and help him get his phone up and running again.

I recently rooted my phone to the latest Siyah version. I noticed the capacitive buttons not working correctly and then I noticed the version I had was for I900. I went into cwm and installed the correct kernel for my phone but it did not fix the problem. I realized after that I didnt clear the cache. So I went into clockwork recovery and tried to fix that but I hit something to cause my phone to go to a black screen and had litle flashes every once in a while. I took out the battery and the galaxy screen with the triangle pops up but then goes to black. If I hit the power button it will show the battery charging button briefly but then goes away.
After all that. My question is can my phone be saved?
Thanks,
Mike

Yes, almost certainly.
First, please confirm the model of your phone. Do you have SGH-I777?
You will need to boot into download mode, and install the stock Gingerbread firmware UCKH7 that the phone originally came with. From that point, you can update or modify the phone as you prefer.
From what you say, it sounds like you need to do a fair amount of reading of the sticky post items such as the faq and guides and elswhere in this forum to get a good foundation of information about the phone and how it works. Understanding makes it much safer to work with your phone.
Yes

You will need to boot into download mode, and install the stock Gingerbread firmware UCKH7 that the phone originally came with. From that point, you can update or modify the phone as you prefer.
From what you say, it sounds like you need to do a fair amount of reading of the sticky post items such as the faq and guides and elswhere in this forum to get a good foundation of information about the phone and how it works. Understanding makes it much safer to work with your phone.

Yes. I have the I777. When I originally installed the kernel I downloaded it from the I777 section and it was supposed to be a 1 click thing till I realized those little issues of the I900.
I finally got into odin mode and it says its downloading. I can also now see it on my computer. Not sure what its downloading but its better than the black screen i was getting. Been on the downloading screen for 5 minutes or so. Just gonna leave it downloading till it does something or someone tells me something better to do
Thanks for your help!
***Update I downloaded the UCKH7 on to the phone and Odin(on the computer said successful) The phone is still stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target. I didnt have the auto reboot selected on Odin. Should I try diusconnecting the phone and rebooting with the power button or just wait until it does it? been hung on it for 10 minutes even though the computer said it was done.

It showing downloading, but you open odin in compyuter to download. Are you downloaded stock rom like UCKH7 from here or here to flash via odin?

Go to the guide how to install custom binaries... which is linked in my signature. Read it untill you understand the basics. It will explain how to use Odin and download mode. Once you understand, flash the UCKH7 stock plus root package that is linked in the guide. This is assuming that you want root and to customize your phone.

if u follow the guide then u prolly have a rooted stock(assuming u used the rooted stock package) which Kies is not friendly with maybe due to having a non-stock kernel, also 2.3.4 is GINGERBEAD. Now if u plan to flash ICS ROM's i suggest forget bout Kies & go back to the guide & learn how to flash a kernel w/ CWM.
Hi there i have a SGH-i717 with AT&T 2.3.4 Stock installed..I did have Cyanogen 10.1 and Avatar all installed in the last 72hrs..I have wiped all that and did a return to the stock AT&T thinking that my HOME keys would return..NO LUCK..The problems started about 4 days ago when the phone started turning itself off automatically..I changed custom ROM's etc to try and fix the problem..then i read to use Kies to try and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to go back to the start when i first got the phone..But now Kies will NOT recognise the phone..I have re-installed drives, Kies to no avail..Any tips ?
Also someone suggested to flash this kernel h0tcakez-JB-Kernel-v2.3.5-ALT but when i tried through system recovery is gives a falied error..
I have nothing on the phone i need to worry about loosing...Cheers

If you are on stock 2.3.4 and tried to flash that kernel .. that is why it failed .. it would be the wrong kernel for that rom. Did you flash a stock rom in recovery? If so then I would suggest using oden to return to stock . then see what you end up with.

Thanx for you reply..I did however flash stock 2.3.4 from oden..I deleted everything in recovery then went to oden and flashed the stock rom..Should i unroot/unbrick flash from oden?
That article about returning to original settings in Kies seems to make sense except for the fact that i cannot get Kies to recognise the phone...
Are we talking about Software ou Hardare issue in your opinion?
Cheers
Could be a hardware issue. Try this ... Put the phone into download mode then connect to the pc. Use the cable that came with the phone. Also use a port on the back of the pc ..not a hub. Then open kies and do the emergency firmware update.
Also ... When you used Odin to go to stock ..you installed the 3e recovery ..that's why it failed to flash. Which is a good thing. That kennel would have boot looped you.

The lap top is fine. Emergency firmware is through kies and not Odin. You need download mode ... Not recovery.

Yep i used it..very good..But my original and main problem..Continues..NONE of my HOME keys are working..I fear that it is a Hardware issue with the SGH-i717..I guess i have to take it to Samsung for repair..Until someone else can give me a solution..I have tried everything and nothing has worked..No HOME keys..Cheers
Definitely not a hardware issue, there where some changes made IIRC in the kernel driver files, once flashed they prevented the homerow buttons from working normally, the only way I ever found to make them work right was to flash the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel series, let it boot, then return completely to stock!
If you dig around, FJ's alt kernel's are around here somewhere!

Good morning, well i believe i have finally arrived at a possible solution..I have searched hi and low for these Flappjaxxx alternate kernel ..I came up with a daunting array of alternatives for the complete amatuer as i am..I appreciate that your time is precious but i do need some general direction what exactly i am searching for..I have found this one but to be quite honest i am not sure if i need this whole ROM or just the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel'a..
http://db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?DeveloperID=11381
https://github.com/flappjaxxx/kernel_samsung_sghi717
Also when i do eventually obtain the Kernel that i am looking for can i use ODIN to flash it? I installed this ROM which i beleive to be stock already..You wrote that i need to return COMPLETELY to stock..What is that 2.3.6???

My work schedule is absolute hell, and due to people flaking at work I have been called in 2x to cover on my only days off...
Needless to say, im about to pass out, so im going to make this useless post...
Either I, or someone else can link you to a FJ rom, and the FJ alternate kernel that match, what you will need to do prior is make sure you have EVERYTHING you want/need, backed up to GMail (in the case of Phone logs, SMS and MMS with the Backup to GMail app, yes, im whoring this fantastic app out) AND to your computer, NO not your SD card, but your computer!
Make sure you have the latest recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0 is what I have, but whatever TWRP is latest will do), wipe everything, then install the rom, boot, wait 10min, reboot into recovery, flash the alt kernel, boot, wait 10min, then test the home/back/menu/search key row, they should work, at this point, you CAN go back to the 2.x.x rom you where running, but if you have an i717, I have had nothing but love for the Stock rom update on AT&T once I performed a complete ODIN to it (flashing the ones here on the forum's resulted in random reboots here and there, and while less then ever before, still annoying, after an ODIN however, havent had a random reboot yet!).
There are issues with the GNote i717 JB release, many posted here, and quite a few here:

Okay thank you for reply..I am ready to go with the install/flash...
When you get time to direct me to the correct ROM and Kernel i would be much obliged..In the meantime enjoy your rest..Cheers Mick
I've searched the forums and haven't found a solution to my problem. I have rooted S4 MK2 and wanted to put Gummy ROM on it, only finding out after I had installed TWRP that this wouldn't be possible. No big deal, but now, I can't get away from the stupid downloading screen for TWRP. No longer do I get the screen before it warning about tinkering with your operating system, and once it's stuck on the screen, getting the phone to boot properly sometimes takes a while, and a lot of foul language. I've tried several things to bypass/delete/overwrite TWRP, to no avail. ODIN doesn't work for me, tried several versions, ROM Manager and CWM doesn't work, when I try to boot into CWM mode it goes to downloading screen of TWRP. I finally gave up, decided to nuke it from space and do a factory reset... which took me straight to the damnedable downloading screen! This tells me I will probably be unable to update or use any ASOP ROMs that I might run into, because once on the downloading screen, nothing works, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, two different versions of ODIN failed to get its attention, unable to to load .pit or .tar files... I'm at wits end folks, and haven't found a solution in any other threads on xda, or the net in general, any help and suggestions would be much appreciated. I've not used ADB before, but if need be, I'll learn if there's a fix going that route.

Does Odin "see" your phone? If so, what build are you trying to install?
I know the damage is done, but a little reading before hand would have let you know that with MK2 you can't install a custom recovery. Only Safestrap works with compatible Touchwiz 4.3 Roms
Edit: Maybe this thread will help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
Edit #2: My apologies. Just re-read your post and I see you said, more than once, that Odin isn't seeing your phone. I'm afraid I won't be any help. Good luck.
Odin sees the phone, but fails at all attempts to install anything. .pit, .tar etc. I originally wanted to install Gummy but now I know that won't ever work, then I just tried to install stock .tar file and it also fails.

My most recent attempt was SCH-I545.pit, didn't work... I also tried Philz_Touch, gummy, and one other ROM which, of course didn't work, now I know why the roms didn't, but no sure why the .pit file won't work. All I really want to do now is remove all traces of TWRP. My phone isn't bricked, totally usable, it just won't be able to be updated or customized until I get rid of TWRP

If you get it straightened out I would recommend reading this thread after. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501
Let me know how you make out. Good luck.
From reading this I think you're confusing TWRP with Odin. TWRP doesnt have a downloading screen, but Odin does and thats exactly the screen you want to be on to flash a stock Odin tar. You will need to flash a full stock tar. And if you respond saying it didnt work please include the Odin error log.

So now your trying to load which file from within Odin???
