hello ,
i bought a factory unlocked galaxy s2 sgh-i777 and i m using it in india but recently i broke it's display/screen and now i got it repaired by samsung india ...they replaced my old screen with the screen of i9100...because of which only theback and the setting capacitive buttons are working and the home button is not working...so can i install official jellybean of i9100 on my sgh-i777 in order to make the home button to work?
i am currently using the button savior app but i m trying to sell the phn anf it would be difficult to sell it because of it's home button nt functioning...
please help...
thanks..
mrinal
Hey Mrinal. Well even I stay in India and I have been using an unlocked SGH-I777. My display has been cracked but ts still working as perfect as it was before.
Well about your issue, I can say is even if you flash a I9000 ROM, you may get the home button to work, but you will have to use the default kernel which comes inside the ROM itself. But as it is meant for the I9i000 you may face certain problems(software related) if you use it on SGH-I777.
So all I can say is if you are okay with the issues that may be faced, go ahead and give it a try.
And please let me know how much did they charge you to replace the display.

hey bro , thanks for answering my question... as per ur ques. about how much money it costs to get it repaired. i gave my phone to a local repairman who inturn got it repaired for me for 7500rs...
btw, u said that i may face some software related problems by using the i9100 rom, but as per i know both the mobiles are quite identical in terms of hardware....
i am quite scared to flash i9100 rom because it could possibly brick my phone and i may have to shell out more money to again get it repaired....
i need to be fully sure then only i will think of flashing i9100 rom...

If you can somehow get root and install cyanogenmod, there is a fix I can think of. Can you do this? I am asking you before I tell you so I don't waste your time.

I have already rooted my phone and also installed Busy box but i'm using original firmware that is UCMD8 which i had flashed through odin. If i can cyanogenmod without modding my kernel then i will possibly is install cyanogenmod. By the way i had already mistakenly bricked my old galaxy SL and damaged its emmc chip, so i'm kinda scared. But if it doesn't involve flashing custom rom or installing modded kernel then i will surely install cyanogenmod.
Mrinal both the phones have different GPU's and there are one or two more differences between both the phones. So the I9i000 kernel will be specially designed to be functional for that specifications. So this may cause you problems. Please just google the "difference between I9100 and SGH-I777" u'll get to know what m talkin bout.
You need to modify the keylayout file, take it from i9100. Hopefully that'll be it. All the rest can be left from i777.
Search for the exact file you need, it's some think like /system/etc/*something*.kl. Google is your friend.
The reason I asked is because there is a mod that gets you nexus software keys, but idk it works with stock rom.

brother, i am using button savior app that gives me onscreen buttons just like the one on nexus.. btw i was thimking of flashing i9100 official jellybean so that the buttons starts working again..so, do u think it's good to flash i9100 firmware ...is there any risk of getting my device bricked?

Make sure it is ported to the i777; otherwise yes, you risk bricking it.

No chances of bricking if you flash an I777 kernel after flashing the I9100 ROM. And i dont think you have to use an app for onscreen buttons. I mean if u r on a stock ROM you'll have to else if u r using a custom AOSP ROM then the navigation is already present in the settings..jus have to enable it.

brother, are u sure that with this method i won't brick my phone because one member told me that if i'll flash stock i9100 firmware then i will surely brick my phone...he also said that i should flash a rom that is ported from i9100 to sgh-i777 but a ported rom has been modded to work with sgh-i777 that means it will still have the working capacitive buttons...so i m not able to think what should i do now....
are u 100% sure that by ur method of flashing stock i9100 rom and i777kernel my phone will work..cause i don't think both these firmware and kernel of different phones will work together...

Look. If you are gonna flash a stock I9100 ROM den you sure will brick it. And by stock I mean pure stock straight from Samsung. And if you flash a CUSTOM stock ROM you wont get a brick as far as you have ported it to SGH-I777..to my knowledge. I have done this.
And I would suggest you to flash an AOSP ROM.
And porting the ROM is nothing like "specially mod the rom". You just have to replace a few 'modules' which are in the system/etc/modules folder(M not sure if it is in etc or usr folder) and flash it off. You dont have to change any keylayout file as u want the buttons to work same as on I9100. Please google "How to port an I9100 ROM to SGH-I777". Its pretty simple process.
And make sure you flash a SGH-I777 kernel after u flash the I9100 ROM.

Hey there, instead of waiting on the t-mobile version of froyo i thought about flashing my vibrant to the i9000 version (i use it in europe anyway - so i wanted to ask here if that is possible and how? I am a little confused with the different versions, roms, kernels, firmwares etc... somebody can guide in the right direction?

Old post, but I am also wondering the same...
Samsung Captivate has xcaliburinhand's I9000 reoriented kernel, that can correct home-button, screen orientation issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808286
In other word, captivate can Odin flash any Samsung I9000 firmware + the patch and the phone will work without any issue.
How about Vibrant?

We obviously can't. You would potential hard brick your phone if you try such a thing or might get lucky and get a soft one instead.
the vibrant can do this same lol. There are multiple roms i can go and download right now off the i900 forum with no problems. just have to use the right tkernels
all it takes is research.. i havnt done it in while but i used to use dead horse kernel from eugene.. it worked with the i9000 roms.. but there were some things that need to be tweaked.

I really prefer official i9000 firmware instead of custom ROM.
( I am with T-mobile, but I got Captivate only because I want to try all official i9000 firmware including newest 2.3.3. )
I hope we get some genius can do the same in Vibrant forum.
You have to be careful when you say firmware. You CAN flash an i9k rom ONLY if it's a cwm format one (because that I know of, they'll be labeled if they come with an sbl).
As for Odin roms, unless you look at what is contained on the .tar file before flashing and replacing necessary files, then yes. But most people don't check anything before flashing and therefore mess up their rom and then ask for help.

Thanks for correction. Must have been w/ moto bit too long.
But the fact remain... Vibrant forum does not have a "magic-fix" for people just want to flash official i9000 to their phone.
Hm...
Can I flash only a SGS I9000 modem? What do I need to tweak/change to do this if it's even possible?
Because I've really ran out of options to make my T-Mo Vibrant run with european SIM cards in Europe, and that's my last hope.

There is no SGS-I9000, it is a GT-I9000 and I would say unless you are on an GT-I9000 rom then you can't flash a I9000 modem. I could be wrong but that's my educated guess.
lol i know, but ain't SGS short for Samsung Galaxy S
Anyway, I literally did every guide in the forums to make it work with european SIM (and no, the phone isn't locked... just doesn't detect any network), so flashing an I9000 firmware? No problem. Gonna try it this week to see if it works.
Well I am using it in Europe with no problem, the signal maybe a bit weak but still it probably the network. Maybe its just not unlocked properly, idk just guessing.

Hi there
-I'm on AT&T using a SGH-i777
Right now, the Android version is 2.3.4
Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
Not sure if all of that stuff is relevant, but hopefully it helps.
I'm very new to flashing, rooting, and all that good stuff in general, but today I attempted to follow a guide in attempt to put CWM on my phone, and then I would use CWM to flash Cyanogenmod 9 on it next. Being the complete noob that I am, I only realized too late that the Kernel provided in the guide was for the GT-i9100, and not the SGH-i777. Right now, the phone will boot up into Android, but displays the GT-i9100 and a yellow warning sign at the boot loader before launching into android. So far, I've not noticed any adverse side effects due to mis-flash, other than it being, you know, the wrong kernel. I've rebooted into CWM, and so far I believe that works, but I'm honestly not sure where to go from here.
The guide I followed was: *Can't post links as this is my first post, but it was on the cyanogenmod wiki, titled as, "Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T): Full Update Guide"*
The kernel I installed was named: "codeworkx's Kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3"
So essentially what I'm wondering here, is where should I go from here? I was thinking I could flash a new kernel on my phone, but I think I only got lucky here and didn't brick it, so I'm hesitant to follow random guides I get from Googling without someone with experience thumbs-upping it for me. I'd still like to put Cyanogen on my phone, as the official ROM(Right terminology?) that was pushed from AT&T sucks and lags while opening messaging and the like, and unless anyone would be willing to recommend another, better ROM, then I'll probably go with it once I get this worked out.
Thanks in advanced

yes your lucky u didnt brick as far as i know that would usually do the trick....the only thing i can think of is starting from scratch. go into the development forums for our phone and there is a simple process to restore to stock and start over but someone here might know a little more but thats what i would do honestly
What makes you think it was a GT-I9100 kernel? From the name, I'm pretty sure what you flashed is the codeworkx CWM kernel for the I777. The boot screen that says GT-I9100 and has the yellow warning triangle would appear any time you flash a custom kernel using Odin or Heimdall. If you had installed a kernel which is actually for the I9100, you would not be able to use all of your capacitive buttons. You should be able to flash the firmware of your choice using recovery from your current setup.
Oh man, do I feel dumb or what?
Thanks for the quick help, I really wasn't lying when I said I was a noob at this!

u trip the counter! on GB u need a jig to reset that counter for ICS theres an app for that.
anyway since u already got CWM then u can start flashing ROMs & afaik CM9 is still in nightlies or not as stable yet for our device. u can try other ICS ROMs which are more stable, like SHOstock or Semi, its your choice.

4 months ago i've rooted my Galaxy S3 international (I-9300). Before rooting i took a nandroid backup of the Samsung's ICS. Then i flashed CM10 and recently (1 month ago) i flashed CM10.1. Everything was working OK (except some issues that come with the CM10-10.1). I also came against the SOD (Screen of Death) but as the devs warned us i was OK with that. From time to time i flashed a newer version of the CM10.1 nightly (recent one was 4th of Jan 2013).
Today as i was sitting in my office i picked up my device and pressed the power button just to check the time. The device did not respond and i presumed that it was another case of SOD. So i removed my battery and put it back inside as i always did when a SOD occured. I long-pressed the power button but nothing happened. I went to the nearest Samsung supplier and i bought a brand new Samsung battery to replace the old one but the device never powered up. Now i am stack with a device that cannot power up. I cannot get into download mode as well.
Is it a case of a bricked device? If it is, is there anything i can do to bring it back to life?
Thanks in advance!
In this case you cannot do much....take it to center and require motherboard replacement, if its case of brickbug it will he warranty covered....right now im interested if you flashed XXELLA or newer bootloader or did you flash kernel compiled from 7th source from samsung?

Sudden death, all you can do is get a motherboard replacement at a service center, however they may never know you flashed CM10.1 because the NAND is dead.

Thanks for the quick reply but i am not sure i can help you with the bootloader! I am not an advanced user. I just used Odin v3.04 to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4. When i finally rooted my device i downloaded the CM10 and afterwards the CM10.1 rom and flashed it along with the GAPPS. And then i used a program to match the modem with the RIL (XXDLID). Ofcourse i fixed permissions.
One thing i need to know? Does the phone stays in the warranty if you root it?

You mean that i shouldnt say anything about root and CM10.1 right?
Also, is there a way for the technicians to find out that i've rooted the device and flashed CM10.1? I mean on a device that it cant even power on!
ps: i live in Cyprus (small island in the meditteranean sea) , so there isnt any advanced service center to examine my motherboard (at least i hope so).

Don't mention it, don't say anything about firmware, if they ask play dumb and just say the latest version, it's up to them to prove your warranty is void, also is Cyprus in the EU? If so check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092530&highlight=eu
In short for your warranty to be voided by flashing Samsung has to prove that it was CM10.1 that caused the problem.
I don't think this will be needed though because your NAND is completely dead so it will be extremely hard if possible for them to prove you flashed anything.

Yes Cyprus belongs to EU.
I will not mention a thing about firmware and CM hoping they dont find it out.
In the meantime, if they replace the motherboard, i will be running Android with Touchwiz by default?

Yes you will be on touchwiz, but you can always change that

Samsung should worry about their skin, because i am a user that rooted his device to flash a custom ROM, then the device is not booting by any means and i am thinking to root it again after the motherboard is replaced!!
By the way, the problem on the motherboard is caused 100% because i root the device??
Thanks so much for your answers!

No it is not caused by rooting your device. Your case is a typical Sudden Death Syndrome one. For more info go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045
You said that the last CM 10.1 you installed was from 04.01.13? Well in that case the Samsung Update7 source wasn`t applied yet to CM10.1 Kernel, so the Kernel was not secure.

I didnt find the time to read the thread you post (i am reading it later on). So the not secure Kernel could cause this?

Yes there is a problem with a specific type of eMMC chips in the SIII. There is plenty of evidence now that Samsung fixed this issue with the Update7 Source release and most S3 Kernels have this fix by now. You can read it in detail by clicking the link I posted a couple of posts ago.
I hope that they will repair your device without any problems but they should and if you couldn`t even access download mode it`s pretty much impossible to find out that you had Root or a custom ROM installed.

Some people are saying that the kernel fixes it some are saying they havent, but the service center should fix it because its a known problem.
Also the latest kernel has only been rolled out in UK and Spain. If there has not been a stock update available in your country there is really nothing they can do.

I don`t know of any case where someone had an SD while having a fixed Kernel installed. But you are right that nobody knows 100% if the fix really works.
Thank you all for your responses!! I am taking my GS3 to the place that i bought it for repairing first thing tomorrow!
I will let you know of the outcome!
Again, thanks a lot!!

Hey guys,
I have a similar problem except that my screen turns on and shows the Galaxy S3 logo when I try to power it on but it won't go further (shows logo until I pull the battery). It doesn't boot into recovery either but I can start download mode.
The phone just turned off while I was listening to music. I think I was running Omega v27.
So my question is: Should I try flash a stock ROM since I can boot into download mode? And is this even "sudden death"?
Thanks in advance!
Half of sudden death. You should also get the phone to samsung

I would take that to samsung, toy could try flashing stock but if it wasn't a failure flashing something I'm not sure it would work.
I would imagine it will fail before it tries to flash.

Tried to flash the + RESCUE FIRMWARE SGSIII I9300 + but it doesn't work. It can't flash the .pit-file and it doesn't work without either.
So I really have to return it but:
since the phone boots into download mode they will see that I used a custom firmware. Any chance to change this?
chainfire app just completely damaged my 500$ samsung Galaxy s when I installed the DRIVERS and when I started the reboot so the drivers take effect and it got stock on doot logo. And I got to Recovery menu and I had a old backup but when I was restoring , the phone canceled and switched off and it got stock on the Vibrant logo. No recovery menu, no flashback. Nothing!!! I send the phone to experts and they told me that the phone is total wasted... if you know how to fix it ,tell me how. Its an Gallaxy s vibrant t959 t-mobile
On the list of soported android phones it was my gallaxy s and it was an lie!
If ther eny way to demand the app on playstore.... answer that to...
THANKS

Odin back to stock.
If you're on jb, I bet it doesn't work. If on older rom, try an ics one.

500$ Samsung Galaxy S eh? If you paid for $500 for your vibrant anytime within the last year or so, then I think you have bigger problems to worry about than a brick.
Also, you really shouldn't house any animosity towards Chainfire. He is an excellent developer who has done so much for the modding community.
As for Chainfire3D, I can tell you from first hand experience that it does, in fact, work for the Vibrant. Please keep in mind that with anything involving modding your device, you accept the risk onto yourself willingly.Chainfire did not force you to do anything, that was your choice - you ought to think about these things before suggesting that he lied in regards to the supported devices, you just did not read the directions properly. How do I know this? Because in the description of the app clearly says, and I quote,
"!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/ Ice Cream Sandwhich/Jelly Bean !!"
Guess what CM10 is. That's right, not Froyo or Gingerbread.
I used cf3d with ics perfectly fine, actually.

I did too actually... But that isn't the point ^^ when I used chainfire on ICS I had already talked with enough people to know that it worked... but I was still accepting the potential risk that it would not work since chainfire didn't recommend using it on anything above gingerbread. I never used it on jb because I heard stories that it didn't work and could really damage the phone... I did my research and read before doing things, this person just jumped in blind and is blaming a respected dev for his own inability to read.

True, true. Well maybe my vibe got damaged from the soft brick cf3d used. But yes, from both of us, OP, READ. Search before you post and right now, odin to stock and you have to start from stock, then ics, then jb. Do not restore a backup of a jb rom from an ics, froyo, or anything non jb. Same with other versions, because you can bootloop or soft brick the phone. You're lucky it is just soft bricked.
EDIT: If you have read...
1. Sending the phone to the experts (whom probably have specific knowledge of vibrant rooting and bricks) would've been off your list.
2. You would've known NOT to restore that backup.
And now, as many have said, we or any other devs are not responsible of your flashing even if it should've worked and we are also not responsible for things leading:
Bricks
Dead sd cards
Eu bug
Death of a loved one from brick rage
A hole in your wall from above reason
Thermo-nuclear war
Or catz poppings ups frum ur screenz afdur downroading rom asking fur cheezbergers.
Or a phone repairer finding pr0n on your phone when checking it out. We all know how bad that is.

we have the same situation.. in my case it just boot loop.. i try to restore, but it keep restarting..
so back to stock, GB, and to cm10.1 again.. (do I need to flash GB if my stock rom is eclair before flasing to JB?) good thing to have a titanium backup! my phone usable again after more or less 20mins.
Yes. Flash cm7 first.

Noooo my problem is not the Rom... my problem is that my sgs vibrant. It's stock on vibrant logo. First boot picture, not boot loop.
It doesn't open recovery!
You enabled chainfire drivers on jb (first mistake) and then you tried to restore a stock backup of eclair while you were still on jb (second mistake). You can't jump from jb down to stock like that, only from jb to ics and some later versions of gingerbread. What you want to do is boot into download mode and revert to stock the correct way. The moral of the story is when messing with your phone, read, read, read before doing anything ever. You're lucky, because it sounds like your phone will be just fine if you properly Odin back to stock via download mode. However, I warn you...if you Odin wrong, there is a good chance of ruining your phone, so read this time and make sure to do it correctly.

Maybe its your carrier that either does not support 3g, or u simply cant get 3g comnection from where u live in cause the company u use doesnt push 3g all the way to your area(happens if you live in a place where not many other people live, or far away from town centres and stuff).
Remember to check the options in the more info(right below bluwtooth and data usage in stock rom) insinde the phone settings

Have u tried some other roms or flashing a fresh stock one? It is known that upgrading the stock roms often causes stupid troubles...
It might also be a problem with your modem...anyhow 3g is not that necessary the way i see it (unless u need it for browsing the web)

i upgraded with odin , i try format system, data & cache then flash rom ,, same issue.
3g is not Important in all country except syria, u need 3g when electricity turn off, and to use it in any palace not in closed place like WI-Fi
R: [Q] 3G doesn't work in jellyBean
Damn...i heard u guys in syria are having a really bad time, this stuff must be frustrating.
Well there may be a couple of options:
1)in syria there have been some problems and 3g is not getting really well to ur area anymore
2)your rom is unstable or just stupid(in this case i suggest flashing a good custom rom)
3)youflashing processes may have lead you to flash a rom meant for a nother regional residence(either the stock one u flashed through odin, or something else u flashed), in this case the "modem" of your phone(it's the kinda way your phone gets cellular data...kinda like an antenna kernel but i have no idea what it is just that it controls your antenna receiving/sending connections) might be wrong. Different modems exist according to where u live (or what operator u use i think as well). Try going on the web and looking for a modem that works in syria and try putting it back onto ur phone(i dont know how, look for it on google).

To answer your qustions in order:
Not probably and yes.

R: [Q] 3G doesn't work in jellyBean
Good kernel: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
If u flash i through odin get the tar version, if not and u flash it thru recovery get cwm package. Be sure to get the one for galaxy s3. About battery usage...im not sure...because i have a 2800 battery i got off ebay and it makes my phone last a whole lot longer, if u have battery problems in syria (like the power being shut down for a couple of hourse at times) u should get yourself a battery like this as well, it doesnt cost much.
Plus getting a custom rom is best, i wouldnt cound on kernel fixing your problems too much, give rootbox or jellybam a try. Or cyanogen if u wish but i dont thinks its very stable yet.
Also it is smart to get the latest version of your clockworkmod recovery, to do so download off the store the official app called "rom manager", u can use ut to update the recovery.

But abkut the rom: if ure sure cyanogen works with 3g try it...
I dont like it either so even though im still on stock ive been doing some research and ive come to the conclusion the best choiche for me would probably be jellybam. A good rom is foxhound(but it is heavy on features) or rootbox(not sure if fully developed yet...).
give jellybam a try just in case.
I dont have many more ideas to help you with your problem as you seem pretty self-conscient of how to flash stuff...i hope someone else can help you, but if i were u i would try flashing some roms and messing around a bit with the connectikn method for data inside rom preferences.

Aaahhhhh the phone isnt yours...damn that makes it even more difficult to fix the problem, even more so if you know it used to work before, but when u changed rom (or put th same one but with odin) it stopped working. That practically means u HAVE to change rom to make it work.....well try flashing stock rom for rooted devices from somewhere else but its gonna be difficult sorting this out if the owner wont cooperate.
