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.

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 dont think its charging
how do i start it up! :-s its not even powering on
I am rooted galaxy S2. I have received an alert from ATT saying ICS is available to download. I am not able to connect using Kies. I have tried the following with no luck after reading tons of posts here:
i) checked/unchecked to USB debugging mode.
ii)dialed *#7284#...checked/unchecked usb mode there too, no luck.
iii) updated kies drivers ,still same issue.
ONLY option left is to factory reset my phone. IDK if i am facing this issue because i have rooted phone or something else. If anyone had SUCCESSFULLY upgraded to ICS on there rooted phone, please let me know...
if you are rooted and you have clockworkmod recovery, and you want the stock feel ICS, flash the ROM that I have linked in my signature. Its look is pretty much stock ICS but it is a HELL of a lot more smooth and has features that the stock does not have.
to answer your question, yes, at one point I did update using KIES from a rooted phone. After you have tried to connect, run the connection wizard from the KIES main window after you disconnect the phone.
are you rooted on stock GB 2.3.4, 2.3.6 or rooted and on a custom ROM?
Thanks for prompt response. Sorry for my limited knowledge, i dont know what does Stock and ROM means. I dont remember how i rooted my phone. I just want to get the latest official ICS update.
if you want the latest ics using kies turn phone off, pull battery, you'll need your s/n #and model, then put battery back in, open kies, go to tools, go down to firmware upgrade and initialization, it'll then ask for your s/n and model name, must match,, click ok, before continuing, hold, both volume buttons and plug into computer, it'll then go to download mode, to enter download mode, push volume up button once, you'll then be at the downloading screen, then follow on screen prompts, make sure you have a stable internet connection for your computer

doesn't using that method wipe all user data tied to the system? internal sd data remains but you lose all your setups.
Guess I don't understand. If you are rooted use the app in play store to keep root and use mobile Odin to flash the update. Then you can retain root on a terrible ics

this worked. thanks
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

I decided to root my phone. Then after following instructions to upgrade to ICS from a website I realized that I downloaded the wrong version (I have the international version, I think. It is was like "I9100X...something" sorry guise) once I noticed that after using Odin it got stuck at "data.img" I was rooting at school, and unfortunately, I had to leave and disconnect the phone from my laptop and was forced to take out the battery. Did I brick my SGS2?:crying: And if no (hopefully), is there an easier way to install an OS? Thank youu

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.

Type in model number using ALL CAPS, then serial number.

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.

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.
