Ok so long story short, I got the root browser app, deleted some important system stuff, and my phone is now in a boot loop. I can access recovery and download mode and am pretty sure I know how to fix it by flashing the stock rom on odin (correct me if I am wrong), but I can't find the stock rom on samsung's website or any stock rom download sites, so how do i fix dis thing?
Here is the link for your galaxy light to flash your stock rom with odin:

I have used this website for Samsung ROMs before, and it's pretty great. You do have to make an account, but once you do you can just type in your model no. and it spits a .zip back at you. For Samsung firmwares, it's perfect.
I can't post an actual link, but the site is called sammoble. You could Google sammobile firmware, or go to samfirmware .com /firmware

I made an account and checked the database, but it wasn't there.
Don't flash your firmware from sammobile if you don't know how to???
Most people have bricked their phone because they don't know how to flash or they make some mistakes in flashing the firmware !!!
So plz use caution or try the above link as i have given !!!

He is definitely right. If you are not 100% sure that you have the exact right firmware and know you are flashing it the exact right way, then you will likely brick your phone.
Flashing is a last resort in this case, but it may be necessary.

Ok, so that site didn't have the stock rom either and I think I know why...
All of the rom sites work by automatically downloading the rom from samsung's website when a phone's update comes out, but the samsung galaxy light has never had an update before (still at 4.2.2).
Here's my question: should I risk downloading kit kat 4.4 from this random blogspot page saying it has a hold of kit kat for my device or just wait and go without a phone for a little and fix it when kit kat comes out.
Edit: Nvm link doesn't work on blogspot... just going to have to wait
Why would you wait if you have your hands on a ROM that you know works?
--John Galt from my GT-N8013
If there are ROMS available for your device then install it !!!
No need to wait for official update !!!

Resolved Issue
Ok, so thanks to everyone who helped me out and I finally figured out how to resolve it (until a working rom comes out).
For all you future unfortunate Samsung Galaxy Light users:
1. Call Samsung Tech Support (1-888-987-4357)and say I blew up my system and I want you Samsung foos to re-flash my system.
2. It will take them about a day to get your device in their system, so call back in a day and they will ship your device to their Samsung place for free. (Well, I am not really sure if the shipping is free or not, but I know the service is. I will update when I find out.)
3. You will get your device back in a week or two fixed.
Note: This is how your going to have to fix any phone that you blew up the system for before a rom becomes available.
Glad you got it worked out!

greetings all,
i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.
of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.
could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.
many thanks in advance.
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.
If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
This depends on your desired outcome.
Do you want a stock ROM, a custom-ROM, CyanogenMod or MIUI?

i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.
MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.

many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.
You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).
Edit:
Just checked your profile. ;-)
You can find ether latest MIUI on
www.miui.nl/
Tell me once you have all the files.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.
so what do i need to do next?
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.
I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
i am ready
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.
Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.
Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.
When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.
Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.
After that proceed like this:
Wipe data
Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.
Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.
If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.

I have the MIUI: Miuinl SGS2-1.12.30 Signed version installed, after i routed the phone through ODIN with: Siyah-v2.6.7. My Baseband version is still the I9100BOKJ1 (no idea what is means), but got it working now. It is a blessing, will thanks on the Miui site as well for this great piece of work.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
use another kernel
hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.
I am new to android so I'm trying to learn, and in the process jacked up my phone.
So I did something not so smart and updated my AT&T Galaxy S2 via these instructions:
androidauthority samsung-galaxy-s2-ice-cream-sandwich
(sorry it won't let me post the URL)
It actually worked, however, my back button doesn't work, and my search button doesn't work, I can make a call but can't hear anything and they can't hear me and vice versa.
I realized there are some samsung glaxy's out there that just have the home button, I figured I must have loaded one of those roms so I tried to load the "stock" rom to go back to where I was.
I can load the stock rom but when the phone boots up to the green android symbol startup wizard the phone just sends a cascade of errors one after another and you can't proceed any furhter.
So I went back to the orignial ICS from the post above, and the phone comes back up, only same problems but at least I can load it up and surf/get e-mail/text.
So I start playing around with mixing parts, and I find out that basebad is the "radio", and I can change that to different versions without changing the OS version, so I figure I must have some kind of mis match going on.
I used Odin and there is PIT, BOOTLOADER (I didn't touch bootloader) PDA PHONE and CSC.
Is it safe to assume if everything works but voice calls, that I need to find the right "phone" version? what about the back button and search buttons?
I have the "stock" PDA version, but I'm guessing that doesn't work because I need the matching PIT, and CSC? Where do/can I find those?
My phone shows network state connected, shows IMEI number and can surf the web but no voice, all other audio works.
Please help a newbie out, and help me understand what PIT, PDA/PHONE/CSC is all about so I can get my phone working again.
And just to be clear, I don't care if I'm back to 2.3.4 or whatever, I just want to get this thing working again.
There isn't a ICS ROM for our version of sgs2- i777. Only the i9100 international version. That's why your search and back button don't work. Also without kernel source we prob won't have a working ICS ROM. that's also why the in call audio doesn't work..

There is no working ICS for our device yet that ICS is for the GT-I9100, as far as restoring back to stock. There is ODIN One click which will return you back to stock? Can't find the best threads but this might help.

No, they limit total storage to 2GB for free accounts - I already have a few hundred megs for personal use, and 2-3 ROMs would blow through my remaining storage instantly.
I think it's possible to recover from a bogus PIT flash (and someone did manage to do it after an ICS screwup), but I'm not sure how - I've never done it myself.

How about minus.com. 10gb free storage and clean interface.
Ok I'm back up and running, I managed to find a download for stock firmware that wasn't hosted on mega upload, only took a few hours to download it
Odin could still see it so I loaded up the new firmware and it works, I don't fully understand it because no matter what firmware I tried the startup screen wouldn't change, the OS would clearly change, and I could change things like the baseband and see that change but that start screen wouldn't ever change.
After my phone "blew up" and wouldnt' even go into download mode I hit it again with stock firmware and the startup screen changed this time and it worked.
What is funny is I tried the same firmware more than once with no positive effects, it wasn't until I managed to piss the phone to the point download mode woudln't even come up that the firmware fixed my problem.
Why is that, was that part of the firmware locked or something?
What do the different parts control?
I think I figured out:
PDA must be the actual OS version with apps/kernal/bloatware
Phone is the modem version
what does PIT and CSC modify?

Unfortunately, that's old news. That video is of the old version of Galnets MIUI that is based off of the 4.0.1 framework and not true ICS. We have a much better 4.0.1 framework based version of the official MIUI ROM in the dev forums, and I use it on a daily basis on my I777. Shep is currently working on getting the MIUI 4.0.3 ICS ROM built for our phones, and it looks promising.

Samsung didn't bother to change the yellow triangle warning bootscreen for the AT&T model. If you root your phone, it will show gt-i9100. It is the SGH-I777 though.

No, the Galnet stuff was a framework hack, not true ICS by any means (not even remotely). We should end this tangent ASAP, as Galnet discussion is not permitted here (For a wide variety of reasons, their releases broke about half of XDA's rules).

Yup. If you have the yellow warning triangle, you'll see I9100 on the I777.
If you don't have the triangle, you just see "Galaxy S II" with no model number - but we ARE SGH-I777. International is GT-I9100.
So I need some help guys. I have the international factory unlocked 16gb Samsung Galaxy S3.
I recently rooted my phone using ODIN and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar
It worked great until I saw an OTA update available (Jelly Bean)
My phone would download it but it would not install it.
I did a bunch of Google and Android and XDA searching and the solution I decided to go with was flashing TeamEpic-RemoveRoot-from-Recovery-signed.zip through CWM. Then pushing TeamEpic-Sprint-SGS3-stock-boot-and-recovery.tar.md5 through ODIN. By doing this I would be stock and un-rooted, I could install the OTA update, and then re-root through the previous method.
www . epiccm. org/2012/06/sprint-sgs3-stock-restore. html is the link to where I got these files.
However, after doing these two things my phone does not boot. It instead just sits at the
Samsung
GALAXY SIII
GT-I9300
screen.
I tried to go back in to ODIN and Re-push CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
I tried to boot in to recovery and install from back up. It is not finding the back up that Titanium made.
I tried wipe/factory reset and it did it but i'm still stuck at the same screen.
I tried pulling the battery.
I tried Pushing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 after the wipe/factory reset.
None of these things worked. Sorry if my problem is somewhere else in another forum. I spent 2 hours searching and came up with nothing. Individuals with similar problems as mine were not able to access recovery or download mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks so much for your time.
I should also note that there was no recovery after I installed the TeamEpic stuff from ODIN...I tried to boot recovery but the screen just flickered and settled right back in to the same spot.

It worked great until I saw an OTA update available (Jelly Bean)
This reads as if you have flashed firmware for a different phone .
Jelly bean is not released for SGS for starters . You also mention Sprint a diffrent phone >>

Your right guys, it does look like I flashed something for a different phone. In the description it said it had been verified for T-mobile and At&t. Oh well, mistakes happen.
Is there by chance a link to where I can get the firmware to flash again?
Thanks for all the help. And how do I get OTA updates to work since this method obviously is not corrct.

Also, how can I get my phone back to stock and unrooted through ODIN? Do they make a .tar that will revert my phone to stock recovery?

i have tried the one for UK and thats quite nice
What do you mean DT? And does it matter that I'm on I9300T?
Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2
Since my phone is international should I download the UK version? I am not seeing a United States option.
Also I am going to push it on to my phone through ODIN?
Or am I going to just put it on the SD and flash it through recovery?

thats the only drawback by flashing these odin files
if you want latest firmware with frequent updates
update via kies or samsung care
That's the thing.. I'm still on initial release firmware.. my carrier takes forever to release updates and I can't wait..
Isn't there a way I can receive these updates without the carrier delays?
I had the GNex and I simply flashed the Google build and I just received updates as soon as they were released..
Is the S3 different? Wouldn't an unbranded Rom get updates via kies when they come out?

Hi guys,
So i had my phone unlocked in Japan a year ago and was able to use it here in the Philippines until I updated the latest version, i first started loosing my signal from time to time around couple of weeks after that and finally it got locked again. ( asking for the network lock control key)
Brought it to the Mall ( MOA ) to have it repaired and they did fixed it, got my signal back.
And i was told that they have rooted it.
I arrived back home and discovered I get a black screen when i open my camera, same thing happenes when i try watch videos on youtube..
Can somebody help me with how i can fix this?
I saw that there is this CWM and SuperSU installed on my phone now.
Cos I live 2hours from the Mall..
Please anyone?
Thank you so much..

Aahmm... Im sorry.. But
Would you mind explaining more how I can do that?
See, I really have no idea about all these stuffs..
Please?
Help please?
I assume this is stock firmware but only rooted.
Did the technician flash a new ROM? if you are not a power user rooting is useless in my opinion so I think better to reflash it and go to sammobile and download the stock firmware of your phone. Use the code on your screenshot to identify your firmware.
Download and watch some video tutorial on how to flash your phone via Odin Flash Tool.
Also since you are rooted go to Google Play and download GET Ril app and fix your baseband and RIL. Its too techie but using the said app is no brainer.
Since you are my kababayan, send me a PM and I will help you out.

kababayan.. i got the same problem as the OP, although I rooted the phone myself (used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (use also for LPE) ). now the SG2 camera,video and bluetooth does not work.. help please
Okay guys. I'm from Cebu kababayans
Anyway,
I suggest you guys flash a stock firmware
Here are the things you need:
-Odin (download it on ur PC)
-USB connector
-patience to read and understand
1. Go to sammobile.com, make an account there and download a stock firmware there for ur device
2. After the download, you will get a .zip file.. So what u do is u unzip that file and you will get a .tar file.. Place it somewhere u can get it right away
3. Open up odin
4. Put ur phone to download mode and connect it to ur pc
5. Odin will recognize ur phone
6. Click on PDA and choose the .tar we unzipped
7. Click on start

Are you having jellybean or higher Android? In that case you need to uninstall ChainFire 3D from ADB or Recovery. If JB+ OS, tell me and I help you. Do you have computer and USB cable?

Wrong version of the phone. He has the AT&T model.
OP - Do you know which update you were / are on? If you have 4.3, then you CAN NOT downgrade without risk of really getting into trouble and possibly hard bricking it. If you have not taken the 4.3, and you want to continue to modify your phone, don't install 4.3.
If you have taken the 4.3 update, you'll have to follow this:

If you have not, then follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
and stop at 4.1.2.
how do I check the version?

sorry I'm a noob I used this tutorial http://phonerebel.com/how-to-root-a...-4-1-1-verizonattsprintt-mobilei9300-version/
Well, ok, but you didn't answer my question about the update...
And it doesn't help to tell me what guide you used without telling me which file you downloaded.

Sorry i don't know what version it was but I downloaded the i747
I'm asking what software version is ON your phone?
And you probably have the file still on your computer, I'd imagine, to get the name...?
It said in the video 4.1.2 or something like that

Version
Okay so its 4.1.2 now i followed the tutorial and just awaiting on the download! Wish me luck :highfive:
I am not sure how I could be more clear when I asked which version of the software is on your phone. It doesn't matter what the guide said it was for, it matters what is ON your phone before you start. If you were on 4.3 before and you did anything 4.1.2 related, this would be why you are in this situation in the first place. Knowing this would and should have been the first step to any attempt to modify your phone. If, for some reason you don't know (argh!), then the easiest way I can think of would be by the Settings app. Was it tabbed with 4 different options across the top or just one long list that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see everything?
The tabbed Settings didn't come by till 4.3 for your phone.
Yes it had 4 tabs
I put the 1.4.2 update on the sd card and tried to install in and it showed a android guy with a red triangle... Did i brick my phone? :crying:
Nvm not bricked
I can still do everytjing as before just stuck at Galaxy s3 logo... I need to unistall chainfire 3d but cant get into my phone
I really need my phone fixed
So what do i do im starting to think it cant be fixed :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've been watching this thread since you opened it. Why would you use Chainfire 3D to root your phone?
CF Auto Root would of been the better method for attaining root. The previous mentioned program isn't for what you attempted to use it for. Can you get into download mode?

Assuming u are still able to boot into download mode, download the stock ROM of whatever version u were originally on (u can find them on SamMobile) and flash it via Odin
