OK so first of, the phone is not rooted, nor have, the boot loader unlocked, and don't have a custom recovery (although if I can get out of the hole I'm stuck in, I'll proceed to do that).
"So now for the actual problem. Awhile back my power button stopped working, but o figure ways around that. Then, yesterday, I was listening to music and my phone just shut off (no it didn't die) and turned back on but it just stayed at the at&t boot animation and stayed like that until it died. After I plugged it in, it turned on and wouldn't go passed the Samsung animation."
Is there any way to reset the phone? Thanks.
You didn't say which version of stock you were running. Assuming the issue is firmware and not a hardware issue, and it sounds like firmware from your description, you should be able to re-flash stock using Odin and get it to boot. You can find the various stock distributions in the Download Repository (see the link in my signature.) Regardless of the version of stock you were running, I would suggest that you flash the latest stock, I777UCMD8, Jelly Bean 4.1.2. You will need to boot into stock 3e recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset before you flash.
The bootloaders are not locked. The recovery is compiled into the kernel, so to install a custom recovery, you must install a custom kernel. For UCMD8 that would be AJK v4.9 NoSwap.
Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand. You should be able to find enough guidance from previous posts in this forum.

It's not actually my phone, but a friends and I was describing the problem (I forgot to put quotations. They're there now) but I assume it's the newest stock version. I've noticed that I cant seem to boot onto recovery. When the phone is off and I try to boot into recovery (by powering on and holding down both volume buttons, right?) It goes to from the Samsung boot animation to a blank screen and back again (and back to the Samsung animation repeatedly). Is there a way (like with my phone [Atrix HD]) to boot into recovery by an emulator command from the computer?

When u r trying the buttom combo to get into recovery, don't have the micro usb plugged into the phone and connected either to power or a pc.

There is an adb command that "should" work in bootloop situations. But u need to have had the phone option of Debugging checked in then Settings of the phone already. And adb installed on ur pc. The command from a pc is adb wait-for-device reboot recovery

The correct sequence to enter recovery is, from phone off, hold down all three buttons, vol+ vol- and pwr, until the first boot screen (probably rethink possible) appears, then goes black then appears a second time, then release the buttons. If you tried that and it bootloops, you can flash stock through Odin without performing a wipe data/factory reset, then see if you can boot into recovery.
If that does not get the phone going, then we should assume nand read/write corruption, for which there is a specific sequence to flash. So let us know how it goes.

Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

Hello all. I have had Shostock3 for a while now and read that if you use the Siyah Kernel with it then it is an awesome combo. Well I downloaded the kernel and went to install it through CWM and now I have a big problem. I chose to reboot and install the kernel and when I did I am now STUCK at the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100" with the yellow triangle. I have let it just sit and see what it does but it goes no where. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?! HELP! Thanks all!

Hold power button plus volume up and volume down, keep it held in until you boot into recovery. Recovery won't just disappear, normally people just aren't holding them in long enough or are using the wrong button combo. Let us know if you get back up and running. Also make sure when installing the siyah kernel you're following the OP directions to the letter.

I can't get into recovery. I simply cant. I hold the buttons, correctly might I add, and then the logo appears, then goes away and I am left with nothing but a blank, black screen. The bottom buttons aren't even lit.
Possible hardware failure on your power button or one of your volume buttons I supposed. Have you tried flashing a siyah.tar file in odin to get a.different usable recovery?

Either that or if you get adb up an running on your computer, hook up your phone via usb and type (this is for mac, may be slightly different for other os's):
adb root

and voila! your phone boots up in recovery!
can't get past boot screen on siyah 5.0.1
I spent all the time I could thinking I had this but apparently I don't!
Have AT&T Samsung i777 running the latest stock 4.1.2 that I got from Kies.
Wanted to try my hand at custom roms.
Was able to root phone using flamaroot which gave me SU ability
Bought Mobile Odin pro, downloaded Siyah .tar file and put it on SD.
Flashed it with mobile Odin.
Because I'm an idiot, I was hoping to make a rom backup after flashing.
Now, it boots "Samsung" then the Siyah screen, then goes blank.
I can get into CWM recovery but without a backup rom to restore to I'm not sure what to do.
Also, can get into Download mode which reads:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-I777
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
However, it reads downloading, but I do not believe there's anything to download and it's been like this for 20 minutes
ANY ideas on what I could or should do would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Where did you get the Siyah 5.0.1 in tar format? It sounds like you tried to flash a kernel that is not compiled for your phone. You need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777.
If that is the case, then you should be able to recover by flashing a good kernel using Odin, if you can find a tar version, or just flash the 4.1.2 stock firmware with Odin, which you can get from the Download Repository or from sammobile.com/firmware or Samsung-updates.com.
But first, since you can get into recovery, try performing a wipe data/factory reset to see what happens.

Thank you so much for helping me! First of all, I used your post, "Odin3 One-click Downloaders for Stock and Stock + Root" and was able to follow those steps to get me back to 2.3 and then I connected back to Kies to get back to stock 4.1.2. SO, I am completely back where I started a week ago, but I have a phone that works thanks to you!!
To answer your question: because I was using Mobile Odin, it only recognized .tar files and I found one on Siyah's blog (gokhanmoral) which was categorized under "sgs2 kernel".
So I'm back to the start (actually did the unrooted one so I don't even have it rooted currently). However, with all the reading I've been doing on this forum, I can't shake the desire to use a custom rom. I know I'm very much a noob and probably should make myself happy with my phone, but I wanna give it another try. I understand with my following questions if I'm posting in the wrong area and cannot have my questions answered.
Here's where I'm stuck. I know I need to make a custom recovery (cwm or twrp I'm not totally sure) before flashing a custom kernel and then rom. But I just can't figure out how to do it. When I go into recovery (holding volume buttons and power), there is not option for "backup and restore". How can I get a backup of my current rom so I can start with the other stuff?
The order as I understand it:
1. root phone
2. install cwm or twrp in order to create a backup of current rom
3. flash a custom kernel
4. flash a custom rom (that is compatible with kernel)
Thanks so much again for all your help!!

OK, glad your're back to working. The Siyah kernel you flashed is for the GT-I9100, the international version of the Galaxy s2. As I said, you will need a kernel that is compiled specifically for the SGH-I777, so get your kernel from the I777 Android Development Forum.
Next, you can also use a straight zImage file with Mobile Odin. You don't have to have a tar. You can even download a ClockworkMod flashable zip file and use an archiving tool such a Win Zip or 7Zip to open it and extract the zImage from it. Then use that to flash through Mobile Odin.
You currently have the stock 3e Recovery, which does not have a backup facility, nor the ability to flash custom firmware (unless it is signed by Samsung.) So you need to install a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery (or TWRP Recovery will also work.) By the way, those are just different developers versions of almost exactly the same recovery functions, so it doesn't really matter which you use.
For a kernel, go to this post in the development section and download the third of four which is titled "AJK v2.0.5 NO-SWAP Samsung." As I said above, extract the zImage from the zip and use that to flash in Mobile Odin.
Also on this phone, recovery and the kernel are not separate, they are one unit, so you install the kernel to get the custom recovery. Your steps 2 and 3 are incorrect. Remove step 2 entirely. Step 3 will install both the kernel and the custom recovery. In step 4, you can flash any custom firmware you want. They all come with an included kernel, so it doesn't matter what kernel you start with because after you flash you will have a different kernel anyway.
And finally, don't worry about backing up the stock firmware. If you mess up the flash, or soft brick the phone, you can just reinstall stock as you did before. After you have a custom firmware installed, and have your phone configured exactly the way you want it, then is the time to make a backup, because you can flash to a different custom firmware to try it out, and if you don't like it, you can restore your backup and be back to exactly where you were.

Wow, excellent information and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help me out. My last question hopefully, and I don't mean to try your patience but what is the best way, would you recommend, to root my phone? I did it with flamaroot previously but it was temporary? Thanks!
Kurt
I have no experience with 4.1.2 and framaroot since I'm running Shostock3. No one who has used that method has said anything about it not being a permanent root. Why do you think it's not permanent?
I think it will be fine. Anyway after you root you're going to install a custom kernel followed immediately by a custom firmware which will be rooted. So even if it wasn't permanent it wouldn't matter.

First off, this forum is not for your phone, it is for the SGH-I777 AT&T Galaxy SII, so we don't know the specifics of your phone.
Following the above procedure will put your phone into download mode, where you can flash the firmware you linked.
Since you say you don't know how to use it, I am going to post a complete set of instructions for using Odin that I wrote some time ago. Bear in mind that this is for the I777, and you will have to adjust some things to make it work for your phone. Refer to the flashing instructions in the thread you linked.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) 3.) 4.) Put your phone into download mode.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
If after the successful flash your phone does not boot into the firmware, then perform a hard reset. I don't know your phone, but normally you would boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.

Hello Members,
Well, about a week back my friend gives me a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 [GT-P7500] (WiFi+3G) and challenges me to fix it.
So, I bring it home try to boot up, well it does not! Long power press din't work, after reading some posts on other threads here I was able to get it to boot by using the Long Power Press and tapping the screen and then I see the Galaxy Tab logo but it won't go any further its stuck over there.
After that I went for the download mode to see i can do anything with ODIN3 I was able to boot into Download Mode, I Downloaded all the required files, such as ODIN3 , Stock Firmware for GT-P7500 and I successfully completed the ODIN process but IT IS STILL STUCK ON BOOT LOGO and No matter any recovery i flash through ODIN i cannot get into Recovery not even stock. I have tried CWM, STOCK various different ones too but no avail.
So , What I can access? :
1) Download Mode
2) APX (POWER + VOL UP)
Anyway to FIX this and put a Custom or STOCK ROM to get the TAB working again?
Thanks,
Seriously??? No one??
I tried flashing the Stock Honeycomb version today.. same thing it will complete the ODIN process but when it auto reboots its stuck on boot logo and no stock recovery access please help!

Have you tried flashing just a new recovery? You need to get into recovery so you can wipe data/factory reset.
On a lot of samsung devices, you have to uncheck auto reboot, and take the battery out after its done flashing. This has something to do with Samsung's security. Is there any way to do this on a galaxy tab? If so it might make it work. If not, you could try holding the power button after its done flashing (with auto reboot unchecked) until it forces a shutdown. If that doesn't work, you could try and let it run out of battery after its done flashing.

Did you ever get this working? I have a SCH-i905 and have experienced the EXACT same issue.
having same isue but i can get into recovery.. after flash im stuck on boot.. even trough odin it's a no go..
i have no idea what to do now as all firmware i can find are hosted on hotfile and that site is closed down.
if anyone has an idea i an willing to try it
At first find ODIN, install Android SDK and adb on PC.
Try to flash latest original 4.0.4 ICS from sam site.
Download and install clockworkmod recovery through ODIN, you can download it from clockworkmod[dot]org website.
Voila! You now can flash all custom roms from SGT Android Development forum!!!
---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------
P.S. Don't forget to make a FULL WIPE in CM before install a new ROM! Full wipe is recommended always before installing new rom!!!
you can try to open (android system recovery) after install custom rom and then do a wipe data/factory reset
steps
1- power off the tap
2- click on (volume up button + power button )
3 - choose data/factory reset
4-yes
5- reboot your tap
this work for me you can try it
same issue
I have exactly the same problem I have the tablet GT-P7500UWVVTR but impossible to find the original firmware with this tablet. I tried to flash with a firmware with ICS because my build stop at honeycomb and after doing that impossible to going back it stop at the startup with galaxy tab 10.1.
I don't have the original firmware.
All the firmware with p7500 (D or W or R) doesn't work
I can only access to the Odin download mode
When I tried to enter the reset factory it reboot the tab but never enter in the menu
Could anyone have the stock firmware for the GT-P7500UWVVTR after I will root the tablet and install a custom rom to hace ICS
Thanks in advance everyone
hi, I have SGS-II I 9100. I was using root box 4 rom on my SGS-II with default kernel. All of a sudden day before yesterday the baseband and IMEI just vanished. Flashing the OEM rom seemed as solution. So I flashed the Android 4.1.2 India rom. It did flashed it successfully. The phone restarts and shows android logo and does something. When it restarts again it goes directly into recovery. I have tried with different versions but its still the same. Tried to flash Siyah kernel and Install custom rom. It still does that goes directly into CWM recovery screen. Can anyone help with this issue. I am clueless on how to fix it. Forgot to mention it does not reboot automatically. When clicked on reboot it shuts down. I then need to pull out the battery and get it back into it and then start the phone.

Flash stock firmware again via Odin when you phone booting after flashing press volume up+home +power button for 10sec it's give you stock recovery then select wipe data factory reset then reboot your Device it will successfully boot

Thank-you for your reply. I flashed Stock i9100 from Sam firmwares. Gave a try to India, UK and italy edition. It does not go to CWM but rather goes into android recovery wizard. The screen where you see red triangle with android died or something. Its been more than a day and still cant find how to fix it. After flashing the stock firmware when i reboot my phone I get to a screen with android and status bar right at the bottom of it. Probably installs boot loader or something it the second screen once you reboot your phone after flashing the stock firmware. The next time you reboot you should be getting to OS right? But it takes me to recovery instead? What does it expect me to do in the recovery screen? I really don't know. I can access only 2 modes Download and recovery.
Here's the thing..3e recovery is the samsung default recovery mode whereas CWM is a customized one.
You either flash it via Odin or you flash a custom kernel via odin to get it.
Anyway, as long as you are NOT on 4.0.4 you can factory reset and wipe cache via stock recovery (3e).
Again, what did you flash exactly?

Ok, with all my wifi issues I tried a file called jfltevzw-wififix-FN2-NC2-w-modules.zip, as suggested through out the forum. I booted into recovery and installed the NC2 modem and then the fix file mentioned above. When I rebooted, I got hung at the unauthorized verizon software, take your phone back to verizon. I then tried to odin back to stock and start over. I'm on the MDK bootloader and (had) twrp installed. I got into odin and tried to install a stock no wipe rom. This one: VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.md5. In odin I tried installing this file, but instead of PDA, I did it in bootloader. Now, when I reboot my phone, I see the samsung splash screen, then the verizon splash screen and then it just sits there. I see animation on the verizon logo, but after 15min, I pulled the battery. Also, if I hold vol up and power on, I don't have TWRP, it just goes to the samsung splash, then verizon splash screen. I googled and searched but can find nothing on this situation. When I do start up my phone, I still shows custon unlocked screen before the samsung and verizon logos. How do I start over?
Just an update on my situation, after further attempts of fixing my phone, if I hold vol up and the power button, I can get into some sort of recovery. Its not my normal TWRP blue screen its just a small menu of items to choose from, in tiny blue writing. Hopefully this helps in someone suggesting something.
You're gonna need to flash the full wipe mdk tar to get your system to boot again. Then reroot via towelroot and install TWRP via Flashify. I would then suggest flashing the last NC5 modem.
Do not use those WiFi fix zips if you're on MDK, they're for Safestrap users only. What that zip did was upgrade your modem and nonhlos to nc2. Sometimes it will still boot but you'll have no audio and sometimes it soft bricks your phone.
