Before going through a complete reset try clearing the app data.
My VZW S3. should be here by early July.

Yes I did and it won't let me go into download mode
Can you force download mode by plugging in while holding sound up and dowb and power buttons or is it just sound up and down?
Edit-
On the i9100 thread you already asked in.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

Had the same problem trying to root and flash 1900. Phone did some weird things when I kept trying to boot it but, finally it went to the download screen (don't know y it didn't the 10 other times) and I flashed the original.zip and went through the motions again and all is fine now.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Lol no i reset the counter before i bricked and it is stock i9100 recovery so they look the same but the button configuration is different

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.

Hey, guys. I bought a Droid DNA to use on AT&T. Everything is working fine, but it came with the older software version (1.5) and I'm not planning to root, so I wanted to update it to 2.04.
The problem is, it's not an option. It seems like it will only let me update if I have a CDMA signal. Anyone know a way around this? I already took out my SIM card and set it to CDMA mode. That actually lights up the "check for updates" button, but it still doesn't find anything. There has to be a way to update this phone without Verizon service.
You could root then flash the ota

Honestly, root it then flash an rom that's based on 2.04. You'll be happier.

You are REALLY missing out man. It's a pretty stupid choice to purposely lock you out. Do someone a favor and trade your phone for their updated one so at least someone can get a rooted device.

It probably had something to do with the fact that I specifically said "without rooting" and that was the immediate response...IDIOT.
Example:
Question: "Can anyone recommend an action movie that doesn't star Bruce Willis".
Answer: "I recommend Die Hard".
Duh?
It's not helpful to suggest the one thing that someone says they don't want to do. That's what I would classify as smartass. I was trying to see if anyone else knew of another method. The friend sim card came up as an option later. I suggest you check yourself.
For those crying "root" because the phone was on a software version that allows it, I flip my phones pretty quickly and I don't want to permanently unlock a phone that I will probably be selling or trading sometime in the near future.
