I have a VM Samsung Galaxy S3. I attempted to root it, not knowing what the heck I was doing (N00b) and it was stuck on the screen that said there was an error updating and to go to Kies. I used Odin to put a stock model on there but it was Sprint and I don't have data usage.. I found a stock Virgin mobile ROM (or whatever it's called) and tried a few times to use Odin to replace the Sprint one, but it freezes and returns it to the error updating screen. Any help at all, please?
Or does anyone have stock Virgin Mobile firmware that will work?
I really just want my phone back to normal, but would like root access.

my phone is a samsung galaxy s2 which was is branded to orange.
i have recently updated from android 2.4.6 to the new android 4.0.3 through kies.
i was really wanting to just root my device but for the time being leave the current rom on, i mainly wanted to uninstall blatware for now and backup etc...
anyway things have gone a bit wrong, i tried following the beginners guide on the following url:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
i downloaded the files that it tells you to, i opened odin and selected the XWKDD file as it says to and it said that the root was sucessful, but my phone didn't fully reboot, it went off and come onwith the samsung galaxy s2 logo and a yellow ! under it, and now it just stays on that and wont do anything else
have i ruined my phone or can it be fixed without losing any of my data or the way i had my phone?
any really fast help would be great, id love to sort this tonight if i can.
thanks in advance

Try reflashing stock android 4
Sent from my GT-S5660
i have just found the stock fw that orange released will try and flash it with odin now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G ( CANADIAN VERSION 'MOBILICITY' ) SGH - T959W running Gingerbread 2.3.6 NOT T-Mobile and I tried to change the OS to Jelly Bean
In the process I went back to the eclair stock I believe using odin, where the phone passed and It rebooted but the phone kept getting stuck on the loading battery and the "Samsung Vibrant" load screen. I wasn't able to get any further from that. Now I got instructions to do it all over but I have not installed anything on my SD card because before during the rooting process it didn't tell me to do so until after. Now I can't even get passed the boot screen to do anything with my phone. I looked around to see if I can get my phone back to the way it was and I came up with a solution and used it on odin but now when I boot my phone it says Samsung Galaxy S 4G powered by TMOBILE..I don't want that ! I am still able to get to the Download Screen.
Is there anyway I can get my phone back to the way it was running SGH-T959W (Gingerbread 2.3.6) ? or can someone please help me complete the process of getting my phone into Jelly Bean like I tried to do. SGH-T959V is practically the same as the SGH-T959W it's just the Canadian Version on the network Mobilicity.
I AM HERE FOR ANSWERS NOT JUDGEMENT​
So i have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Titanium from Virgin Mobile (SPH-D710CMUB)​
Before I get into the problem let me just tell you what happened.
1. Rooted my phone no problems at all.
2. Installed Chainfire 3D. Extremely Stupidly I didnt read the description. its doesnt work on JB 4.1.2. and guess what... I installed it and ran it.
3. Went into boot loop
4. got it out of bootloop. I dont know how. But new problem is it got stuck at Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue...
5. doesnt work in kies so i use odin.
6. i am pretty new to android and the updates and stuff still but i downloaded a Samsung Galaxy s2 (international) version of 4.1.2 jb
7. It failed many times but i got it to work and it may have glitched my phone (*or something* and now the model number is GT-I9100 instead of SPH-D710CMUB
Question 1 Is it possible to change the model number in the way described above?
Question 2. If it is possible. is there a way to change it back?
If you can answer those questions for now that would be very helpful. I do have more if someone is willing to help.
Hello everyone
I am very new to this website as I just signed up and registered today. I am currently having a problem with my android phone, and I cant figure out how to resolve it.
The problem that I am having is that last week I was updating my phone when something in the device and caused my phone to become bricked. And after spending many hours on Youtube I finally found a video that helped me recover my phone by flashing the phones memory with clockworks recovery using odin and I was able to get my phone back up and working. But now whenever I turn my phone on I see the yellow triangle appear on bootup and I want to get rid of the triangle.
I downloaded the apk file for triangleaway but in order for me to be able to run it on my phone my phone needs to be rooted, and I have tried many ways to root my phone but it still says that my phone does not have root access.
My phone is a Samgung Galaxy Ace X II
Model Name GT-S7560M
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
