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.

Look behind the battery and write down the serial number.
Put phone into download mode. Hold volume down and press power. Once you see download screen let go of volume down button.
Plug into pc
Open kies and click "tools - firmware upgrade and initialization".
Type in model number using ALL CAPS, then serial number.
Let it do it's thing.
You will be on the latest stock firmware.

Have not had any luck with Kies. Phone connects to Kies but will not process the upgrade. Says phone is already at hightest level (not exact wording but I think you can get the picture). Why would Kies work in download mode?

Because in download mode it just see's it as it's device name and serial number. Not what's installed on it.

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.
Brilliant

Man if this works you are the man. How long is this supposed to take, like an 10 min or 10 hours? Im currently looking at KIES that is darkend gray. Normal?

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.

Hi all,
My brand new Galaxy S2 I9100 arrive 2 hrs ago and I turned it on, and then plugged it in to charge. I just tried to turn it on and now it could not come on. A black screen with slow flashing battery icon with a circle in the battery is showing. What's going on?
You tried holding the power button down for a few seconds? Or try turning it on without the charger connected.
I don't remember what I did, but it but a combination of things finally got it started. But my device is crashing and locking up at random. I don't think this is normal?
My baseband version is I9100XXKE7
Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL27655, [email protected] #2
Build number is GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
Is this right? It's fresh from the box.

Hmk, 1st you know phone dont come all charged ?
2nd, you will let your phone charge for the night.
3rd you will disconnect your phone and start it.
your problem should be answered.
Reason possible : The phone dont have enough charge and shutdown by it self. that might be interpreted as a crash.
P.S. You should update your phone to XXKI3
P.P.S. please do not update your phone before your phone is fully charged.
Well, this is starting to becoming rather disconcerting. I got home and the screen was on, completely crashed and unresponsive. What gives?? Do I have a lemon?
PS: I know it doesn't come charged, but it was at least 50% charged. That still doesn't explain the random crashing!
Take it back to the store for an exchange. Sounds like it's broken.
Unfortunately I bought an International version and apparently Samsung does not provide warranty to devices in the US that is the International version. I bought it from Dailysteals.com when they had a good deal. Not sure if I can do an exchange... .

Sounds like a lemon but could you at least get it into download mode? (turn off phone, then press home button+volume down+power, hold all at the same time and keep holding it). If you can you can flash one of intratech's firmware and get it up and running at least. Does the battery charge correctly?
Yes, it does charge correctly. Before I flash a custom party firmware (is Intratech custom), I would like to reflash again to the stock firmware. Can you point me to the thread on how to do this? Thanks!

Thanks, downloaded GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKF3_I9100XXKE7_I9100XEUKD1.exe
Hope that's the right one. I'm in the USA.
After putting my phone into upload mode, I plugged it into my Win7 x64. Got this usb sound that indicates it's not connected. I thought I installed the right drivers already. Odin is not recognizing my device. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Did you install KIES for the drivers ? If not download it from here :
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c.../20110512115717796/Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_4.exe
If you did try uninstalling and re installing again. It was recently updated so i would recommend downloading the latest version for the latest drivers.
Or if installing kies wont help. You can go into your system options and force windows to install the drivers (some usb drivers I think) that were previously not installed, if there was a problem while installing them. That helped me out one time. If you don't know how give me a shout.

After reinstalling the drivers another thing to consider is to close Kies when running Odin as they conflict.
Thanks guys. I'll give it a try this evening when I get back. I've been looking forward to this phone for weeks now it's just so disappointing that I'm having so much problems with it. It's so odd. It just randomly locking up. I've had to hold the power button to force it to reboot multiple times!
Hi guys,
I've contacted Dailysteals and see if the can RMA the device. I hate to send stuff back because of the hassle. This is what I have on my phone
My baseband version is I9100XXKE7
Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL27655, [email protected] #2
Build number is GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
Which Intratech firmware is the right one to download? I want to flash the exact same one in case I will have to return it. Or do you suggest me to just return it and not attempt to flash it? Thanks!

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

Ok, your phone is not bricked.
If you have no data/wifi your phone maybe missed baseband
Type this on dialer: *#1234#
Look at is write PHONE. What do u see?
What's your phone model? Look under the battery place

It doesn't connect at all when I am in download (odin mode) like it won't show me with the yellow connection in odin tells me that I have a custom binary and that I have downloaded 1 binary. The only time I can connect with odin is when the phone is in the booted up but I can not do anything with it at all no connection. Also Clockwork is all messed up as well whenever I click on a task it goes blank and I just hit the power button again and it goes back to the main screen =-(
I have been reading up online and I guess what I need is a US version of sprints firmware but now I need to figure out how to install it once I get my hands on it
I found the firmware!!
D710USEG30 is the firmware for Sprint USA galaxy s2 I am going to attempt to use Heimdall Frontend to install it (crossing my fingers) hehe
Ok update, I guess I installed something on my laptop to keep me from being able to use odin. I did it on my desktop just fine and I am back up and running. I thank both of you for your time it was very helpful and much appreciated =-)
I hope you both have a very Merry Christmas =-D

phone model is SPH-D710 are you sure you got the correct model number? if i am not wrong, SPH-D710 is for SAMSUNG GALAXY S II EPIC 4G TOUCH. correct me if i am wrong.
And backup your EFS (IMEI), use the search for EFS, and for backuo you can use the HK-Tool its on the market.. its very important to backup it.
I've read just about every thread on here with people having issues updating and nothing has worked for me. I can't seem to get kies to connect to my phone to use the emergency tool (tied just about every method here). I'm thinking it maybe best to try my hand again at reverting back to gb and see if kies will connect. I'm not sure what tools I need to go back to gb, rom, modem etc, and which order to flash them at. I've downloaded to my pc the big rar file located in the dev sticky section for unbricking but when I place the file into odin and run it, it fails...what do I do?

There is an issue with Kies updating if the modem file does not match what its looking for. If you have changed in ROM/rooted, etc there is a chance you have installed a version of the modem it deems unfit...and refused to update.
Follow these instructions to update your Note to the official ICS unrooted AT&T release;

Here is the simple way to do it and you can do it through Kies no matter what Firmware you are on.
1: Take battery out and write down the serial number exactly how it is written.
2: Put battery back in and cover back on.
3: Restart phone.
4: Place phone in Download Mode by holdin volume down and power buttons at the same time then when you get to the menu screen it will tell you to press volume up to continue, do that.
5: Run Kies, connect your device and inside Kies click on tools, in the dropdown menu click on Firmware Upgrade And Initialization.
6: In the popup screen type your serial number exactly how it it written under the battery and then type SGHI717 with all caps for the model name.
7: You will get a popup about downloading the firmware upgrade press ok.
8: Another popup will ask you if you agree, check the box about how you read and agree and click start upgrade.
Now Kies will download the firmware upgrade and your device will be upgraded to ICS.
FYI...Need to enter the dash in the model name = SGH-I717

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.

Hello,
I've been trying to enter the serial # on the label which also matches the one on the recite and it keeps telling me that the serial # is incorrect.
Is there another serial # i don't know of?
Thank you in advance.

Still asked for serial #.
Sadly it did ask for the serial #.
I think this is really messed up from Samsung's part.
I'm going to have to call them up tomorrow.
Thank you.

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:
Hello,
I just got this phone for AT&T I717
baseband version i717ucmd3
version 4.2.2
What I was wondering is this phone had been rooted and the reason for my question is the phone acting up not normal:
Like I was talking on the phone then the phone by itself rebooted also the battery drain quick.
If this is rooted can I put in the original stock baseband on it.
Thank you

What does the build number say?
Do you have Superuser?
You could go to Playstore and download Root Checker or an app that needs root like Titatium Back up. If TiBu installs, your rooted.
If the rom is other than stock, depending on what your running or how it was installed could be reason for reboot.
Maybe it wasnt clean

build number =
CM-QUINCYATT-USERDEBUG 4.2.2
also I found out it has cyanogenMod on it
I tried the method aboutut the phone in download mode, open Kies, plug phone into usb, in Kies select tools, firmware upgrade and initialization. Have your phones serial number handy (Can be found under the battery). Enter model number using all caps (SGH-I717) and follow the prompts.
It did not work.
I want to put it back to original. Any help will be appreciated.
