Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44794712
And 2 posts down I explain what I did

Flash one of Fishman's 2.2 ROMs, he has Odin versions. After that flash a 2.2 kernel with Odin, see if that fixes it.

1) odin to stock
2) install froyo bootloader
3) root
4) rom manager and install CWM recovery
5) install custom rom personally using (Bionix v 1.3.1 with bali 1.8.8UV kernel)
before you install any custom ROM i would recommend stay on stock and see if the problem still occurs if it does...then most likely it's a hardware problem...that's my guess...GOOD LUCK...
hi, i root odin 2.1. but it still turn off everytime......
hi all, i try to root directly to t959uvkb5.tar but it missing the dbdata.rfs.
my question is the only one with dbdata.rfs is the t-mobile .tar file?? and i should root to stock then flash the t959uvkb5.tar (no re-partition) ?? and if that is the case can i make a .tar file from othe working vibrant (2.2) to root my phone using that .tar???

Disconnect the battery for 5 minutes
Download Da_G's (edit) ATT stock ROM and kernel to your PC
Flash both in Odin
Ensure your phone boots the OS completely
Turn it off after and go back into Odin mode
Flash CWM and ensure Odin reports success
Let it reboot completely
Power off
Hold all three buttons and see if you can reach CWM
Btw, what ROM did you flash in the first place and what were you running beforehand?

Not 100% sure on what Rom i was using but i tried to flash some Rom from the at&t sgs2. .. Some alien something Rom.... And flashed the virus over that.... I was trying to find the best Rom :-/ ...i know dumb idea.... But for some reason.... The roms that I tried from the sgs2 that was ported or flashed with the virus. .. Seems to operate alto more smoother than the normal note roms... I could be bugging.... But yea that's how i felt.... The noteworthy Rom was the only one that I liked but its not ready yet:-(

And where do I find the files.... I only see the stock files from da G
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
My bad dude, the ATT stock ROM from Da_G is the one u want (got the names mixed up lol).
As long as u can reach Odin, flashing Da_G's stock ROM and kernel should clear up the phone and allow CWM to be installed. Once that all works out u can continue flashing roms.
I totally recommend SauROM though, its smooth as hell.
Let me know how it goes man, hope this helps.

Try wiping /system before flashing the rom again. If it doesn't work. Then get yourself an Odin compatible stock ROM to flash... if you can get in to download mode then you will be fine. But try the first step and see how it goes.

Firmware upgrade issue

I rooted my galaxy s2 the other day and also installed a jelly bean rom called ShoStock 3 on it. I wanted to install a siyah kernal as well so i tried going into clockworkmod recovery but it failed and my phone wouldn't boot. So i fixed it by using download mode and just installing a stock rom but now it says firmware upgrade encoutered an issue because i accidently pulled the usb plug out. Please help it wont work now.
Flash stock again from that screen

[Q] So back to basic tmobile rom how do I get back or cm9 or 10

I had flashed my phone I think to cm7 then to cm9 unofficial by team acid/w semaphore then I was trying to upgrade it to cm 10 with no luck formatted incorrect messed up cache in recovery then tried use odin and that failed maybe due to old semaphore version perhaps.
Anyways it bricked it for minute til I realized odin still detected it when I put it download mode (it didn't show download mode even)
Got it back using a tmobile gingerbread rom. 2.3.6.
Whats the best way to get it back to cm9 or cm10?
Go in recovery mode and flashed cm10 twice, consecutive. There are many great Roms.

T-mobile stopped supporting this phone with Froyo 2.2. If you flashed a T-mobile gingerbread rom then you must have the galaxy s 4g (t959).
