okay, so basically, i had 4.3 with ss running hyperdrive.I deleted the hyperdrive slot and then odin'd my phone back to stock, and proceeded to upgrade my phone up to current. I then used towel root, to make sure that i had root, and went on to install the newest (3.71 i believe) version of safestrap. I was running the aroma installer for the new hyperdrive when it just cut out and now my phone won't boot and the exact files i used to restore my phone with odin earlier today won't work anymore. Does anybody have any ideas on what i can do?

3.71 ss can't be used for Android 4,4....first mistake.

hopefully i can get my phone running today. But I had seen on the safestrap sticky that you had directed me to yesterday, that was the most recent version and i even asked somebody on that thread for the modules to flash. I also read that with 4.4 you had to use the stock slot that was the downside. So what exactly do i have to do to get a rom working on 4.4?
Phone still won't comply with odin, it fails every time, even with files directly from samsung. I just want to get my phone back and running

I've found that if the cable isn't positioned just right, Odin won't respond. Took me a while to figure that one out. Had to hold the cable and phone just right during my last Odin install to make it take.

I am assuming when you flashed back you forgot to flash a stock kernel at the same time. try using odin to get back to stock and you should be fine

Was gonna ask the same thing.
If you can you should be able to to use ODIN to get back to stock.
Sounds like you forgot to flash a 2.1 kernel before you rebooted.
yaddayaddayadddaaaaa
Surprised no one has said "OMG! WRONG SECTION! I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU!"
But yea, flash a kernel if you can can. Check the Bionix website for them. Also, in the future, make sure you READ everything pertaining to a rom you flash. If you had, you would have known you needed to flash a 2.1 kernel if you wanted to revert.
Odin 1.3
Yeah I've done the same thing before. When you downgrade from 2.2 you must flash a 2.1 kernal first. Best thing to do is re-flash back to stock with Odin. Make sure you use Odin version 1.3 and not version 1. Search the dev forum for how to flash with Odin. The Vibrant is very hard to brick permanently so you should be able to recover from this soft brick.

it saved my phone. Do not format your phone with cwm. Bad things happen.

You can flash any one of these ROMs and they will include the correct kernel and modem.

yeah i didnt flash the kernel, rookie mistake. the only the i can get to on my phone is samsungs recov. mode at this point by holding up and down and power... so not sure how to get odin on there or whatever..appreciate any and all help, and if someone can provide a fix here im wlling to donate 15 bucks via paypal

With phone off,hold volumes up and down and plug cable into phone.Don't touch power when doing this.That should get you to download mode.

use Odin to restore your rom!
I think the easiest thing to do is flash any of the ROM that have Kernels in them, I have only had to use odin once, and that was just to try it out. I always keep stuff on my card, But i guess if you didnt going back to stock through odin would be the next best thing.

Depends on what you flash, but even if its stock with no root, root is very easy on the phone, just do whatever worked for you the first time.
Telus Fascinate 3G+ recently got updated to Gingerbread and here is how to root it.
Things that you need
1.Speedmod Kernel
2.Stock GB kernel [attatched below]
How?
1. First flash the Speedmod kernel via odin [vol down + connect the usb]
2. uncheck repartion, auto reboot option and flash it
3. go to recovery mod [vol up & down + power button]
4. go to speedmod advanced option menu
5. root your device
6. flash back to Stock Telus GB kernel via odin
This works??? I'm assuming it do since you posted it. God damn, thank you so much. Really. I have so many I use on a regular basis that I couldn't use because I couldn't get root.
In total since yesterday I've reset my phone 7 times from trying different things.
Will those phone boot on this kernel? and is their any advantages over the stock kernel?
Do you know a good, fool proof method I can rip this rom for others?
Thanks Again.

Hey
This is just showing you that how to root. and the stock kernel has nothing its just original kernel.
From my understanding, other sgs and telus fascinate has diffrent bootloader system. And also to create Custom Rom, we need source, but we dont right now. We have to w8 for it.
Thanks,
Confimed! Works.
Just to confirm for others this works perfect for rooting the 2.3.3 GB stock update for Telus Fascinate. I didn't try booting while I had the speedmod kernel flashed. Happy with root right now.

if you have root, would you mind dumping the firmware? since the telus fascinate is (mostly) a rebranded tmobile vibrant, I'd like to be able to have someone look at the firmware blobs for GPS for use with CM. Can't find an ODIN-able package to tear apart anywhere (haven't looked in a day or so though).
Worked brilliantly. (and I'm an Android noob too!)

Total n00b question, but what do I need to set in Odin to use these files - unchecking repartition and reboot is straightforward - but where do I set up the TAR for the kernel (In the past I have use SGS kernel flasher - but that needs root - hence my predicament LOL).
All help, advice, and fu appreciated.
Click on the PDA box in Odin and choose Speedmod Kernel. Uncheck those boxes on the left and then put your phone in download mode.
Click start and pray.
The rest of the directions are pretty straight forward. Follow those same principals for dumping the stock kernel back on the phone.

Great - and sorry, how do I get the phone in download mode (read another odin how to, it says a box will turn yellow which happens with just the down vol while connecting the USB).
Power the phone off.. Have your usb cable on hand.
Plug the phone in, press vol down + power on. You'll know immediately if it worked. Took me a few tries to figure it out.

LOL - I tend to be a bit impatient which causes more problems than not. Odin is still 'File Analysis' so seems to be taking a bit ... not sure how long flashing the speedmod kernel itself should take.

Would like to know if accepting the OTA update installs the jig disabled secondary bootloader that the UCKK6 leak included. Anyone who has done the OTA update and also has the jig boot into download mode using the jig. If the secondary bootloader was not changed, the screen should indicate the counter has been reset. If that indication is not there, then additional testing will be needed to verify if the bootloader is jig disabled.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Good news.
On UCKH7 stock bootloader it says the same.
Looks like the OTA update doesn't include the secondary bootloader, or if it does, it's not the disabled one. Most likely just doesn't install it at all.
Thanks for the quick reply.
No problem creepy. Thanks for all your work here. Once its confirmed that the jig method still works I will reflash with the zedo method. I just need to be sure not to be stuck with an incremented flash counter.

Yes I updated via ota on Thursday after I returned to stock via your thread. I took the photo of the jig screen and the screen shot today. The first pic is crappy because it was taken on my tablet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
OK. I was just a little confused by your other post. I think the most likely scenario is that the ota update does not install any bootloader. It's really very risky to install bootloader via ota, and I don't think AT&T is willing to do that after the fiasco they had with the first Captivate ota update.

ok I took the plunge and did the OTA update on thursday when it was released , running stock 2.3.6 I flashed cwm using the zedomax method through odin which gave me the yellow triangle , powered off and inserted my usd jig and no more triangle and custom binary count reads 0 and it is rooted. however now my wifi isnt working.
Attempted to flash using only a custom kernel (counter already reset) and it failed real quick. No other modifications. So... as others have probably already mentioned if you have a custom kernel (even without other changes) it will likely fail. I'll be going over to the mobile odin method now.

You need to uninstall Kies before running Odin. Check out the guide at the top of this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43640820&postcount=1
Not so much uninstall it, because installing Kies is an easy way (for some n00bs) to get the drivers you need installed to make Odin work, but make sure it/it's child processes aren't running in Windoze Task Manager before you try to use Odin & end them if they are. It's those that don't play nice with it.
But that's in Hopper's thread, and the whole point of the thread/having info like that in one 'reference' is so we don't have to constantly repeat ourselves everytime someone runs into problems with Odin.

If you uninstall Kies you have to install the Samsung USB drivers (attached at the very bottom of the post in that that topic I referenced above).
Either that or reinstall Kies and do as MistahBungle stated above.

Hi guys, i realy need your help, my phone is dead.
In the beggining i had a problem with power controller: Phone thought that it is constantly charging (For that time i thought that the problem is in micro usb port or in firmware)
I decided to flash it and go to stock via backup made by CWM a year ago.
But during this process the phone made a reboot by itself and after that there was no loading. I could see only name of the device and thats it.
No recovery. Only download mode.
I gave my phone to service center, they told that I have two problems: 1st is connected to power controller, 2 - dead flash memory. They say that port usb is ok (tried different board with micro usb port). They try flash it via Riff box Jtag but process stopped at data.img.
I took the phone and tried to flash it via Heimdall with brick fix pit.
After using this pit file, the phone was flashed normally and even turned on normally.
But in the phone info menu I saw no any data about internal memory. (It was damaged and required format). I tried format through phone menu and it did nothing.
I decided to flash the phone via Odin with normal 16 GB pit file and had a bad luck. I experienced freez during re-partition. After this, phone is a complete brick.
When I connect it to PC without battery pressing vol down and rower buttons it connects as unknown device but there is nothing on the phone display. No recovery, no download mode. Nothing - just reflection of my frustrated face).
Currently i'm tring to make a Jig, maybe it'll put it in the download mode, but hope is dying...
I've herad somewhere that it is possible to put it in the download mode in linux. Any other suggestions?

I want to revert an ATT i717 rooted, with CWM ver.6, custom KK rom back to ATT stock rom (I did try KIES but it didn't recognize phone as I understand due to rom being custom.) I don't have a back up of the original stock rom. All download links I have come across are dead. Need help to locate working DL links.
2-Wifey has the same exact phone rooted with CWM ver. 6 with stock JB rom. I am wondering if I take a back up of that and flash it to my phone if that will be ok or if that's a chance for a brick?

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.
Let me know if you find. Sorry, I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon . In middle of a work marathon on 2 jobs.

here's a link to stock jb:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CfFE5fSiMQS1NuZVZmUnRNYVU/view?usp=sharing
it includes the rom, cwm recovery, supersu, odin, kernel, and modem.
odin the rom first, then the recovery.
copy supersu to the phone and install thru cwm.
you'll need to update binaries.
also included is the current cwm recovery i use to install kit kat roms.

Hey thanx! Just a quick question - what is to update binaries and how do I go about that?

once you get done installing and the phone booted up,
start supersu and follow the instructions.

Finally d/l at work, odined the rom and encountered "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Phone cannot enter recov. mode nor download mode. I tried kies and 2 issues came up 1 my phone has no serial number, I entered wife's S/No. (same exact phone, both made in Korea) but the second problem is that kies wants me to turn off phone, and enter d/l mode which isn't coming up.
I tried my JIG thingy but same screen comes up.
How do I fix this?
ATTN: MOD
If need be please move thread as appropriate.

Could be, really don't know for sure. Note has this screen. Anything I attempt it's resulting in the following screen below. DL mode, hit volume up and bam, same screen. Recovery, same deal, try to boot normally = same. Even a jig gets the DL mode first screen and then bam! Is there any way to fix this or Is the phone at the point of jtag repair, or worse a brick?
