I'm stuck on a bugged version of Pie... ZRJ8 build. None of the firmware science builds will upgrade to the newer builds. I have no idea how to downgrade back to BRJ6/BRJ5... please can someone help me I've tried SmartSwitch, it doesn't even show my phone in the emergency software menu.
My phone works, but I'm stuck in limbo with a half-baked Pie. How can I directly use odin to flash to the latest (G965USQU3CRKK)? I have update.zip, but I can't use this with odin...

Very easy, buddy! Just download BRJ5 for Odin, enter download mode after installing Samsung drivers on your pc and putting the phone in developer mode with ADB...extract BRJ5 and put the BL, AP AND CP in the correct spots...use CSC HOME IF YOU WANNA SAVE DATA. USE CSC if you want to wipe data, which I recommended.
THEN, once the phone is flashed and re-set up, flash the CRKK update.zip.
Should be good to go.
More help with Odin here, follow the Snapdragon S9+ instructions - https://www.xda-developers.com/install-one-ui-beta-samsung-galaxy-s9-galaxy-s9-plus/
CRKK is the latest so use that for the update.zip steps.

When I flashed BRJ5, my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It gets to "Starting Android - Optimizing app 82 of 82" and then reboots and tries again, over and over.. never gets past optimizing apps.
EDIT: Nevermind, doing a factory reset fixed the problem!! Now I am on BRJ5 Hopefully CRKK is not as buggy! Thanks a ton

All you gotta do is restart phone and hold POWER, VOLUME UP AND BIXBY BUTTON...When it powers on, release POWER....you'll be in recovery. Just wipe data three times and cache. It'll boot. I had the same thing.

Edit:
After 3 hours of having the exact issue this post describes and tries to fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
I gave up and went to bed, but as a last resort I did the exact same process i'd been doing on my desktop PC but in my laptop instead - and it worked.
So I would suggest anyone who can't flash using Odin try a different cable, USB port and even a different PC.
I was able to flash a KE7 O2UK firmware without any hassle whatsoever.
tl;dr version:
I tried to install a new modem, I9100_radio_XXKP8_CWM, then the phone wouldn't get past the exclamation/pc icon.
I can enter download mode, but cannot load any firmware - even the most up to date O2 stock.
After flashing CF-root KE7, I now have the SGS2 bootscreen with yellow exclamation mark, but I cannot enter CWM at all even after holding VOL UP, Power & Home for quite some time.
I have used the pit reflash option once and only once, as something made me think the modem somehow fubar'd the file system layout.
I was on a nightly of CM7, after everything i'd read I was under the impression I could just update the modem ad-hoc to gain whatever benefits it may give.
Does the issue i'm having suggest a bad bootloader, and if so, how do I fix it?
I'm no newb but I never really got the hang of flashing the SGS2 after the absolute ease with my HD2.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

Hi Dan,
if you have only done what you wrote, then your bootloader should be fine.
But what pit file did you used?
BTW, the pit option was not a good idea.
If you still can boot into download mode, re-flash CF-Root kernel.
Try to boot into (CWM) recovery mode after flashing the kernel by pressing Volume UP + Home + Power buttons until recovery menu appears.
If that does not work, you may have to flash a complete ROM.
If that does not work either, you may have to do a factory reset (in recovery mode) or hard reset (after normal boot by dialing "*2767*3855#") and then try to flash a complete ROM (in download mode with Odin).
Do you have a backup of a former system?
Nandorid backup from CWM recovery, or an "emergency" backup in KIES?
P.S.: Usually it is possible to flash only another modem to an existing system and test it. It seems that something went wrong for you.

I know I shouldn't be touching pit files but this issue hasn't been seen before in my Google searches and I was beginning to think the bootloader or file system was broken.

I have flashed KE7 and KE2 over and over again, but I cannot enter recovery mode - the phone simply sits on the very first graphic with the yellow exclamation mark. It's almost as if the Vol Up key doesn't work.

I can't flash any ROM at all. It gets about 30 seconds into the modem flash then errors. Kies isn't running in task manager, so i'm assuming it's a NAND issue.

Last week I flashed LD3 for my Galaxy S2 i777. Today I was going to flash CM9. Every time I tried to boot into recovery it just started the phone.
I figured I could use mobile odin to flash a new kernel and it would fix it. Like an idiot I used a Gingerbread kernel on my phone running an ICS rom. So of course my phone froze on the "Galaxy S2" screen.
I couldn't boot into recovery and freaked out because I couldn't boot into dl either. I ordered a jig but kept fiddling in the meantime. I found that if I hook my phone to the USB, wait for the battery charging icon, take the battery out, then hold the down button it would boot into dl mode. Then I had to put the battery back in before I clicked continue or else it just reset.
Ok, so got into DL mode. I grabbed the stock rom and kernel from XDA site and flashed them with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 (can't post links yet).
The phone starts and setup mode begins. It shows the android figure and says click it. Now all kinds of errors pop up telling me different google services weren't working and force close. When you click the android figure it goes to setup wizard screen but nothing happens (except more android service errors).
Can someone help me out here? I've been at it 5 hours and searched this forum high and low. My thought is there are some ICS elements left behind in there it is trying to load, but I could be way off.
I still can't boot into recovery mode, just DL.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the stock rom and kernel?
I did not do a full wipe. How can I go about that without logging into recovery? I'm googling that now but if you have linkage I would appreciate it.

dont need to wipe when using Odin/Heimdall.
To OP:
there is only factory recovery, no CWM, you could always just flash a kernal from the DEV section, get CWM, flash CM9.
If I flash another kernel wouldn't I still have the same problem? I'll go ahead and give it a shot. Any you recommend for any reason or other?

So let me get the straight...you're on unrooted stock right now? If that's true, you should:
1. Do a factory reset from settings.
2. Use Odin to flash the Stock with Root package.
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash either Entropy's DD or Siyah.
4. Use CWM to flash what you want after that.

recovery is in kernal. If you flash a kernal from the DEV section you'll get CWM recovery, then you can flash your CM9 that you wanted, after a wipe data/factory reset.

Yes, but if he flashes said kernel with Odin, it'll trip his flash counter. I'm just telling him the safe way to do it, Mobile Odin.
I've already tripped my counter. I have a jig that will be here tomorrow so I can use it to reset the counter.
I can't use mobile odin because I can't log into my phone. I can only use desktop Odin.
All the files I am digging up look like .zip made for cwm. Could someone help guide me towards a kernel I can flash from desktop?

Either Entropy's DD or Siyah. You can open the zip and extract the zimage; the zimage is the kernel.
I just tried using Syiah:

Flash the return to stock package from Odin again. Something must have gone wrong with it the first time.
well thats wierd. Sorry man but are you doing it right?
vol down and power. hold it untill the screen flashes twice.
I flashed stock 3 times now. I couldn't get into recovery before this (manually or with rom manager) and still can't. It starts like its going into recovery then just resets and loads normally.
Down is for dl mode, up is recovery.
I think the lack of ability to boot into recovery and the android service errors may be related.

Forget recovery. You shouldn't be worrying about recovery until after you get your phone booting.
New thought: maybe your download of the stock package is corrupted. Try to download it on your computer again. Download the one with root. If that fixes it, you can go use Mobile Odin to flash the Siyah kernel.
To get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up.

Your post is a little unclear. Did you try to flash UCMD3 again after doing the reset?
If not you should try that and see how it goes.
If that doesn't work the safest thing to do would be to download Samsung KIES from their official site.
Once you have KIES installed you can click on 'Upgrade & Initialization' and type in the information underneath your phones battery.
Once you type in the model and serial number you can plug your phone in to your computer in download mode and KIES will put it back to stock.
[If you brick your phone trying this it's not my fault. I'm not forcing you to do anything.]
Otherwise you could install TWRP 2.7. It's a recovery program you can install through ODIN.
It will allow you to do a better wipe of the phone and it will root it for you. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByoEy8x_JgpqTHRvRk5PVjhXTlE/edit?usp=sharing
That's the link to TWRP 2.7(newest) in my google drive. You can flash that in ODIN's PDA slot.
Afterwards do a wipe with TWRP and see if the phone boots. (An option will come up to root. Click no until you get it working.)
If it doesn't work wipe it with TWRP and then flash UCMD3 with ODIN again. Reboot. You should be fine.
Once the phone is working if you want it rooted just click yes in TWRP and it will root the phone.
Then when you reboot a notification will pop up asking you to install SuperSu. Do that via the play store button, NOT TWRP.
There you go, the phone should be rooted and all set. Let me know if you have any more problems.
Oh, and please press 'Thanks' if this helped you.
get back into stock recovery and do a factory reset, clearing cache just won't do.

I followed this video to install Cyanogenmod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQdSOTdV06Q
during the install I got a red error stating there was some problem with the gapps zip. Now my phone gives a quick samsung flash and nothing else happens. If I hold power,home and volume up I can still get into the cyanogenmod screen with the option to install.
I downloaded the files again and tried installing. It got as far as flashing file 1 of 2 and the working bar keeps spinning and doesn't make anymore progress. The screen eventually went black and now I cant even get into the recovery screen. The screen flashed the samsung logo with small blue writing in the top left and then goes black again.
Please help...
Update - If I hold power, volume down and home I am able to get into the downloading screen.
Try to reflash cyanogen mod again but before that format you device completely by going to recovery mod!
Or try to download the cyanogen mod and gapps from xda thread or from somewhere else!
Before flashing any ROM, it is strongly recommended to completely format your device!
Hope it will help you

I found this but it is very vague
IF YOUR PHONE MATCHES OPTION 1 LOOK HERE!!
A soft brick is easily fixed in most cases, here is what you can do to fix your phone!
-Boot into Recovery (Vol Up + Home Button + Power Button) and wipe your data/cache/delvik cache and factory reset and start all over.
-If Recovery fails, try booting into Download Mode (Vol Down + Home Button + Power Button) and use Odin to get into stock firmware and start again.
(if youre using a Mac, Linux or Ubuntu Heimdall can be used to flash stock firmware)
-Also make sure the downloaded ROM/GApps are not corrupt when youre flashing. You can do this by checking the MD5.
-If youre getting a "STATUS 7" error, please update your recovery, or update your bootloader.
I also found this one that I will try an follow.

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.

Thanks mate, I'll let you know how it goes!
EDIT: I'm flashing a lot of kernels now, trying to get one that works, but no luck, what would I have to do, step by step? I have a stock rom that I flashed with odin.. no touchscreen or buttons working (except for the power button)

Open odin v1.85
Press PDA, select kernel, .tar file (this kernel by zaclimon http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198234 )
Power off device then go to download mode

I flashed the kernel with odin, but after i got a screen saying samsung, with an error icon or something on the bottom.. and didn't go to recovery, it then booted into the rom I have.. is there a way to get into recovery on this device? I have tried a lot of common button combinations but no luck..

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

The touchscreen still doesnt work though.. I got to the recovery, but the home button doesn't work.. so I can't select wipe data, and I've also tried the power button which didn't work

I think theres something wrong with the device itself not the software. Hardware buttons difficulties I suppose.

It worked before I messed up the 4.2 kernel.. so I don't think it can't be the hardware.. Also the power button works to boot into download mode and recovery..

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )
