It seems like there should be some info disseminated. What exactly did you do to restore your phone? Do I just have to install Kies and it does everything else?

Have phone off and hold vol-down and power button together until you see a warning screen then release buttons and then push on the vol-up button to go to download mode.
I think you do not need to push the home button down with the other two..as all the mega 6.3 i know of only need the vol-down + power button to be used..unless the i527 is different and needs the home button with the other two.

good job.... now we can play more with our devices and always come back to kies....
thank you to all for this great message. i was able to connect my i527 to Kies and it got recognized right away. And then Kies asked if I wanted to update the phone. After clicking a few "OK" the update update went on by itself. No need to go into download mode or anything. The process takes roughly 40 minutes and then I just rooted the phone again with Kingo.
A side note: Kies would not start on my Win 7 64 bit computer initially. Searched around and found out it's a common issue, and I just need to repair the .net framework 4.0. After that all is dandy.

Absolutely true. .. there's no need to get into download mode unless you are bricked....

Turns out I was entering the IMEI #.
For some reason Metro Put on the receipt that that was the serial #.
The only way to get the true serial # is when you go to the about phone info.
My phone isn't working, so I input the serial to my Galaxy Note.
Got a step closer, but i gto hit back with a message saying that this model is not suported.
So this time I put the model SGH-I527 which my phone was flashed to anyways and I entered the Serial # to my Note and BAM!
I will let you know how it went since right now its still downloading from Samsung servers. :fingers-crossed:

I really need some help here if anyone could take some tile to do so...
I just got the samsung galaxy s2 and I tried to flash the firmware on the phone and I believe I flashed the wrong one and now I have no services on my phone at all. I flashed a rom and have no connect 3g/4g/wifi. I am not able to connect the phone to odhin to reflash the firmware either. I can get into download (Odhin mode) and I can also get into recovery. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
i dont get it, you say you cant connect your phone to odin, but you can get into downlaod mode.
put your phone in download mode, then connect your phone to PC and then reflash the correct firmware for your phone with ODIN

Wiped out my cellphone.. now when I turned on it requieres an activation.. I'm trying to flash it so I can use the wifi only. It says "press send to activate your phone" I've tried to use the Odin Multi Downloader v4.43 to flash the ROM I tried several of them(geewiz-2.9-system-09272012.tar and eh03_full_odin.tar) both of them give the same error message which says Unnamed File was not found...I totally lost now I just don't know what else to do.
Please help if you can...Thank you!
To bypass activation screen, go to emergency call, press *#83786633.
Then press the home key and it should bypass it. I think you need to do this after every reboot.

Is there a difference between Odin Multi Downloader and regular Odin? Why don't you try Odin 1.85 and see if that works. I'm a noobie too so I'm not sure if I can help.

That would be a quick fix if I could get to the dialpad, the screen is black with picture of a phone, yellow sign and computer because I was in the middle of imaging the phone when it failed the process thats all it has every time I turn it on and nothing else. I try to use different USB cable in different computers and no luck and none of those systems would detect the phone. My question was if there is a way to use the SD card to do the reimage instead of the USB and if there it is not, this phone will be absolute and I'm sure you gurus in here have a way to fix my problem.
Thank you!
Pull the battery
hold down volume down button
plug in usb cable
that should put you in download mode

Hello Admin,
28 hours earlier I was a complete noob for using Samsung S III. I had connected my device to laptop for upgrading using KIES. Everything was going on normal and my laptop went in sleep mode. When I checked in so it stated that an error has occurred and firmware upgrade failed. And further told to upgrade using recovery mode. Since then I have been trying to enter in recovery mode. Have tried all the given options of entering in Recovery Mode but not successful till now.
It goes in Download Mode and no response nothing happens even if I keep it the same way for 7 hours.
In Download mode screen displays the information below.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS OFFICIAL
Using Kies is the same issue. There's no response even after hours.
Downloaded a 724 MB zip file for ODIN flash and tried that but even then same.
Only one screen: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again
I just need my Phone Contact Numbers. I am ready to reset the to factory settings if I can get those.
Had been trying to solve it since then. Have searched every site every possible forum. Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Open kies.
On the Taskbar select tools and then firmware upgrade and initialisation.
Enter the model name in caps. Ie GT-I9300 and hit ok.
Then enter the serial number written under the battery.
Then do as it says on the pc screen and put your phone in download mode.
Then Flash.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I recently bought used i717 on Ebay. It is supposed to be unlocked but have not been able to confirm as the standard code does not work. Have not been able to root as superoneclick does not work. Finally got it to connect to Kies but Kies states latest ROM is installed.
When I go to Settings >>> About Phone - Model Number is Samsung SGH-i717, Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version T989UVKL1, Kernel version 2.6.35.11, Build number Gingerbread.UCLA1
When I boot up the ATT logo stuff is displayed and there was a bunch of ATT bloatware apps installed, most of which I deleted as I do not use ATT
Don't remember where I was but on one web site about upgrading stated that baseband version should be I717UCLA1, I717UCLF6, or I717UCMB4 before updatingand that It will be I717UCMD3 after the update.
I have discovered that the Baseband Version T989UVKL1 is for an SGH-T989, T-Mobile Samsung Galasy S II, which is probably the reason it won't update through Kies.
I want to upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1.2.
Have considered Cyangenomod but afraid that with the non-ATT baseband I might brick it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am new to this and it has been very confusing so far.

The recovery worked. My phone is now at 4.1.2 and seemed to be working, at least for a while. Does doing this recovery lock evrything back up? Reason I ask is now when I boot up the phone it will only go to the Emergency Call screen. Have contacted my cell phone service to see if they are having any problems.
I am using a service called PureTalkUSA which uses the ATT network. Not sure if the phone has to be unlocked or not.

Once a phone is unlocked, it will never be locked. I would think if it uses an att service it wouldn't need unlocked. Find out what the apn settings are for puretalk and verify that's what you have on the phone. You might have to input them yourself.
NOW I AM REALLY EMBARASSED. IT SEEMS I ENTERED A LOCK CODE AND DID NOT REMEMBER THAT i HAD DONE SO. EVERYTHING SEEMS BACK TO NORMAL AND I GOT THE APN INFO ENTERED.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP. THE INFO ON HOW TO DO THE EMERGENCY RECOVERY WAS VERY HELPFUL.

It depends on your computer performance, and internet connection speed. It has to download the latest firmware from the net. Then it has to install it. First time it could take up to an hour. The second time could take 20 minutes because the firmware will be downloaded from the first time.

I just want to be clear on the state of the phone. Does it have any charge left? Can you access the download screen? If you can access the download screen you can just use Odin to flash your original ROM back.
(Hold power button and volume down button at the same time until the phone vibrates. Then let go of the power button but keep holding the volume down until the download screen pops up.)

Any luck? If so I just had a thought.
My phone the I717R (Rogers) in Canada can't use Samsung Kies to restore the phone.
However if your phone is the ATT version and it can enter download mode you should be able to use Samsung Kies to restore to factory settings.
You'll just need to enter firmware upgrade and initialization I'm pretty sure it's called. Then you'll type in the model and serial number found under the battery and Kies will do the rest.

Did you install Samsung KIES first? It should automatically install the driver you need.
Also when you put it in to download mode do it while the phone is unplugged, then plug the phone in.
Let us know what happens, sure we'll figure it out.
I did and it didn't detect it still there's gotta be something I Can do

Try this link.
That's from the Samsung site for the I717 driver only. See if your computer picks up your phone after installing that.
If that doesn't work you may just want to use ODIN. I'll tell you everything you'd need to know to do that just don't have time ATM.
Have you tried another USB port and or cable?

are you using the oem cable? i can only get odin to pick up on my device with the oem one, my generic one just wont work for crap with odin.
I have tried everything you guys far suggested it just won't find my phone

that sucks, sorry to hear that. i would start fresh and uninstall the sammy drivers reboot the comp afterwards, reinstall drivers reboot once again, put the device into download with out firing up odin and see if that will help. I've noticed this device can be a bit finicky when it comes to drivers or maybe we are a few of the unlucky ones lol. I too have been having drivers issues lately regarding mtp and its been driving me nuts.
