Download Samsung Smartswitch on a computer, plug your phone in (reboot to error screen) and do an emergency firmware update. Never fails in situations like these.

I wasn't trying to root the phone, I was updaing my phone to Oreo version and that happened...
After that happened... I can't really get into recovery mode....

I tried that method, the device won't show up on in the empty box in the option of emergency firmware update in smart switch.
I also tried downloading older version of the smart swtich and had the Device Initialization option but it was blocked by samsung I think....

If you can not get in either download or recovery, I do not know how to help you. (What does the screen say/do when you try recovery?)
You may have to contact Samsung.

Download firmware from updato.com and install it with odin. There are plenty of guides on how to do that.

Home button broke,How to get into Recovery?

Look , i had the bootloop once. I tried to power down my device, but it wouldn't work. Took out the battery and it powered on itself - bootloop. Try holding Volume Up + Home + Power buttons to get into recovery mode and then clear data/cache. I remember holding the buttons for 10 seconds before it actually rebooted to recovery
But if you read the heading of this thread gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck, it says the home button is broke....

I'm not sure his button is really broke , cuz he didn't mention it anywhere in his post , just in the heading... Which makes no sense, who does any kind of flashing if their hardware button is broke... If it really is , then it's his fault for not taking it to repair first...

Ok so basically I assume you know how to use Odin and what it is? You will need the phone's original firmware, which you can then flash to your phone via odin using the 'PDA' button. All of this will be done while your phone is connected via USB to your computer, and make sure it is in 'Download Mode' (vol down + home + power) when flashing it.

Could have at least read the rules mate, and/or seen the xda 'noob' vid, search, but I understand your urge to fix your precious phone.
Anyway, I would go about it like I said above:
- Download original firmware (.tar.md5 file)
- Open Up Odin, then click on 'PDA' and select the original firmware file
- Make sure 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' are CHECKED
- Boot into Download Mode on your phone
- Connect the phone to your computer
- On Odin, press 'Start'
- Wait for it to finish flashing
After that, your phone should reboot automatically and work again

Stop panicing! That just makes everything worse
First of all; have you got a USB download-mode jig? If yes, use that. That will basically force the device into Odin mode, so you can re-do the flash
If you don't have one, then buy one from:
eBay
Amazon
mobiletechvideos(.com)
or get the stuff, make your own
Once you have any type of Jig/Dongle, whatever you want to call it, I call it a jig, plug it into the phone. Unplug the jig and plug the phone (via USB cable) into the computer, start Odin and flash stock firmware (Which ever you want, GB or ICS)
Once you've done that, flash any type of C.-recovery and then you can (carefully) flash a different ROM. I would recommend using recovery-programs anyway, as they esnure that everything goes to plan, Odin just flashes away and checks everything AFTERWARDS, CWM checks before AND after
Well, anyway, hope I could help you!
Thanks

Resetting won't help anyways since you flashed for the wrong device. You need to go in the download mode which is power + vol. down + home button, then via Odin flash your firmware.

[Q] My Sgh i777 can't enter in download mode eighter in recovery mode

Well, my phone cant enter in this modes, but the problem its that also cant enter to the system, i can only see the logo of samsung and then the screen turn off, I dont know what to do, because I cant use the odin because I cant enter in download mode, I dont know if there is a button to hard reset the phone. I was trying to put a rom of ics but i believe that the firmware was wrong for my phone. please help me.
Sounds like you flashed something in Odin that was not for your phone. You probably need to get it J-tagged to get it fixed. Check out mobiletechvideos.com
It's like $50 dollars for the service, they'll J-tag your phone and flash the correct bootloader.

Since the phone will turn on, and initiate the boot process, it should be able to recover it yourself. Jtag is for true hard bricks, which your phone is NOT.
Please give a full description of what led up to your problem. What firmware was on the phone before, what did you attempt to flash, and anything that you can think of that would provide any additional information for trouble shooting. Also, a link to the firmware you tried to flash.

I put my i777 on download mode by removing the battery and putting it back. Hold the volume button down and connect the USB charger wait for the buttons to flash and disconnect the charger while holding the volume down button. If that doesn't work nothing will.

Try this:
Pull the battery and leave it out.
Hold down volume button and plug in the USB cable. (PC will supply the power)
This should boot the phone into download mode.
If the above works to get into download mode, do the following:
Download the I777 secondary bootloader .tar from the Download Repository. See the link in my signature.
Unplug the phone (to shut off)
Open Odin v1.85 on screen of pc.
Enter download mode as above.
When connected put the secondary bootloader in the PDA slot in Odin and flash.

I just recently got my SGS2 (i777) and decided to root it. Unfortunately I got the root from another site (dumb move) and today the phone went into a reboot loop. I can connect it and get it into download mode, but everytime I try to flash back to the stock rom, or anything else (bootloader) Odin says connection failed, unable to open COM Port. I know it connects because it installs the drivers for the phone. Can someone MUCH smarter that me assist with this one?

can you interrupt the bootloop by trying to get to recovery (holding VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER until recovery menu appears) and then go to backup-restore and restore a backup? That's what I would try. IF that does not work, I would reinstall the drivers for andoid on your pc --even though you had them working (presumably) once before. After reinstalling the drivers then odin should (may!) see the phone and work.
good luck

Install Kies and across the top, find the tools bar and it will bring a dropdown menu, just select emergency firmware recovery or something like that. Alternatively you can boot into download mode and flash the firmware via odin. If you don't know what that is, stick with the kies method

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. You dont need the backup. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=13292)
The JB Bootloader. (I downloaded the stock by Ryuinferno)
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.
tried but i died

[Q] Help recovering an unrecognized device

Hi all,
I have a major problem with a friends Galaxy S 2 GT-i9100, he flashed a cyanogen custom rom and tried to uprade it but somewhere in the process the phone just died and no the phone in not entering recovery mode and whn we plug it in to the computer it is not even recognized as a usb device, so we can't even try and re-flash it.
Can someone please tell me, how can I fix / recover his phone so it would just turn back on ?

Can your friends phone go into download mode (volume down, home button, power button)? If it can, you will need to flash back to stock rom by using odin.
It's complicated

The phone can go into download mode, but when I connect it to the computer I'm getting a message "The USB is not recognized..." and it doesn't appear in odin...

What about in device manager? Does it get picked up there?
You mean the recovery mode ?

No, in download mode. Connect your phone to PC when phone is on download mode then see if device manager picks it up.
Oh

It only pops a message that the usb device is not recognized...
