Hi
My brother installed a random CWM apperantly from youtube without talking with me and he messed up with his phone pretty bad
So he gave me the rooted phone and i wiped,then when i tried to install the rom it wouldnt let me and it just restarted back to cwm
It wont go into downloading mode either
I can transfer data from the external SD card but problem is it wont install it properly it just show the android with the flipping cube few times then restarts right back to cwm
This is a really messed up problem how can i fix it ?
Tomorrow he goes back to the army and if he wont have his phone we wont be in touch
Waiting for response,thanks alot for all help given!!

Hello i have an sgs2 from At&t and i was trying to root but was unsuccesful and now i have this message on my screen when i turn it on " Frimware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I could use any advice or help. I have search and tried alot of things but no luck. Please thanks.
What method did u use to root?

And importantly did you attempt the recovery through kies?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
i used the "how to easily root your sgs2" method using odin. I tried to use the recovery through kies but it asks for a code and it wont connect to my phone.
It sounds like your phone is still half functioning. Try booting into recovery,
With the phone off hold down both volume keys and power button until you see the first screen, then let go of the power button.
If it's stock recovery you'll be able to do a factory restore(wipe). If CWM choose wipe data factory reset.
After rebooting it might work.
Worst case you can put it back in download mode and try odin again.

If you can't get it into download mode you may have serious issues.
Might need to build a usb jig or buy one.
Contemplate a return.
If you tried everything, and I mean everything to get it into download mode, i.e. jig, "adb reboot", then neither can they. Can't see anything you did.

You never did tell us what KIES has to do with ROOTING ?
I would definitely flash back to stock. Stock will never further mess it up. Not to mention there is the stock rom that's prerooted. By using that one you won't get a yellow triangle on boot. Nor will the counter go up from changing the kernel.

If he downloaded an international rom then he can't use the stock recovery as the power button on the international roms aren't the select key. They have an actual hardware button to select. I found that out the hard way.

That is probably true cuz i downloaded a 1900 or something odin file to get back to stock but it was not the right one as i now know it should have been I777.

At least you got download mode working. With that working there should be no issue about fixing your phone.
Just keep in mind depending on if "everything flashed from the international version you possibly will also need to flash the right modem.
I wouldn't worry about that until you got the phone up and working.
It's best to keep each step as simple as possible, especially for the first time you're trying it.

ok so i downloaded the stock rooted rom and im using odin 1.85 but it stops at factoryfs.img, any ideas??? thanks again for all the help
Not good. I wish I could offer more help. At least it didn't stop at flashing the bootloaders.
There's not too much you can do at this point. You can try waiting seeing if it changes.
You can hope if you do unplug it that you can get it back into download mode. Then try odin again. Though I'd make sure the checksum of the download matches up to make sure it downloaded properly.
No one wants to be the one to say unplug it in the middle of an odin procedure, but if no progress is being made after a reasonable amount of time, there's not much left to do.

Hi, the problem is my Galaxy Player 4. is frozen on the samsung screen and when i try to go to recovery it takes me to download mode. it is rooted i used this app to try and flash its orginal rom and it stays on those screens. Any help would be most appreciated .
Are you sure you are doing the power+volume-down combo to get into recovery, bucause volume-up will get you into download mode.

you don't need to remove CWM
You only need stock rom and stock modem. If you have that go to the Samsung site and get your upgrade.
Ok, this is what I'm trying to do. I'm going to exchange the Note for the Galaxy S3 before my 30 days are up. I need a complete stock phone. How can I get a complete stock phone?. Now I'm partially rooted.

And several tips from youtube. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
1. Root your phone with cf-root
2. Use triangle away, when you press volume up press down+home+power immediately so you go into download mode
3. Once in download mode, load your stock rom with odin
4. after done flashing go to recovery volume up+home+power and do a factory reset / wipe cache
5. Boot to your rom, set your csc with csc selector from the market to the correct one for your rom so you receive future updates (unless you dont want to)

For your case, if you want your phone back to normal, you must take the risk. Ignore the file or your phone will stuck like that forever.
Anyway, if another member have better solution. Kindly assist.(coz, I still new on this forum).

Hi developers
I bought a new SD card, 32 gb for my samsung galaxy trend plus. A toshiba one. It was fine untill i saw that my screen was on, but black. Couldnt do anything. Rebooted and when booted back it was fine. But after some time it got black again. Rebooting wouldnt change anything. I see the samsung logo but i cant see my bootanimation. It is just a black screen. I removed the SD and re-tried, i thought that may be the issue. But nothing. I got to recovery and realised its all good. 100% functional. In fact i could mount my SD and do pretty much anything. My phone is rooted. What to do?
I would prefer not to format because I have very valuable pictures and music in my internal and apps in my SD aswell. Thanks in advance.
I am using linux so if any programs should be downloaded please indicate me the linux ones. Thanks so much and sorry if im being greedy or what
I unrooted my phone and works great. Why?

Hey there. I had just my first soft brick and it seems u too. I got many soft brickes l8r and evem found why.
You cant flash Stock rom with SD. If rooted u can get a custom ROM in sd and flash it in recovery. If not rooted consider going to sammobile.com and getting the stock rom for your phone and flash it via odin! That will do the trick

Try to boot into download mode.
Then, connect your phone to your pc and open Odin 3.0.7 (firmware version!)
It should recognize the device and you'll see something will be added at id:com.
In the pda box, add your stock rom which you downloaded and flash it!
That should fix it.
If not, your device is hard-bricked and can't be fixed.
Don't forget to press the thanks button if I helped you!
