Help!
Over the course of the past 2 days, I have struggled to get a new rom (Bionix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119986) on my SGS4g. I have soft bricked my phone, but was able to bring my phone back to life through Odin and Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 Deodexed + Root KF2 [6/28]-corradokng
I can not get into recovery, but can get into download mode. I would really like to use a different rom. But I need help. I have read through many of the forum pages, but I guess I am too noob to follow the directions.
Is it possible to find a whole collection to just Odin my phone to a differnet rom?
I have looked on youtube for videos, which helped me with my vibrant (with overstock), but now I am just stuck. Yes, I have read the the noob guide, but not sure I understand it all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Try the GB Starter Pack. There's a link in my signature.
Also, don't use KF2. That's one of the buggiest ROMs ever. You're better off using Odin to flash RaverX3X's KC1 or any of the GB leaks (KG4 and higher).
I used to think the rainbow screen was "cool". lols

I am going to try FBis sugestion first. I will keep trying each suggestin to enforce that I learn through experience.
Thank you all for your response, I will be sure to let you know my results!!!
WooHoo! success! I followed FBis directions to the tee and it worked.
Thank you so much!
Now my question is, since I rom'ed this for the first time, will I have to go through the same complicated proccess???
Only if you wanna go in reverse

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I heard this special from Samsung to AT&T dismissed by one of the pillars of this community as it's conglomeration of hardware is somehow disagreeable. Hence my respect to that with the title of this thread.
I am stuck at:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I727
custom binary download: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
<picture of phone on left and yellow ! triangle middle, and on the right pic of pc
under that it says:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I am stuck there. (I unplugged during download mode) Any help for this ignorant biker who tried getting root first thing before even setting up his new phone would be appreciated.
They'll probably be able to help you more in the turdrocket forum.

So do you have the SR or the ATT SGS2 ? IF you have the sgs2 then look in the development thread for a return to stock rom. It has directions to get you back to stock firmware. I know some people accident flashed i9100 international sgs2's and they were able to get back with the return to stock.

If you have the SR you will need to go to there forums for a fix.

I have windows 7 on the pc and the yellow triangle with the exclamation point for a skyrocket phone. I plugged during download mode. Stuck at Odin. I read the stuff, downloaded stuff, is there a link to fire up Odin on Windows 7? I downloaded tar files and stuff but can't do anything with them. I have winzip and 7zip now and all kinds of stuff downloaded. Just stuck. LOL sigh

Thank you!
I am pleased to report it worked very well. Thank you very much for your helpful reply kornklown69.
I wonder why you smart people always assume so much and leave out details obvious to yourselves and a mystery to an ordinary biker?
If I hadn't been voraciously reading every page of as many threads as I have, spending as many hours as I can every day for weeks on end now (started with an att Infuse), I would still have been clueless.
I felt SO empowered when I realized the puzzle. The link you provided took me to the {How to][Tar][Odin] thread. Read the whole thing. Sounded promising. Got my stuff together, I'm not "rogers", check. My computer and cords have been performing flawlessly, check. Who cares about this counter and maybe I will end up getting a jig, and end up stashing it with my HDMI cord 'n stuff, check.
Hey where is the link for Odin?
STILL "where is the link to Odin" it finally dawned on me to use the Forum tool button and search for "Odin 1.85"
Bingo. A tiny little file that downloaded in no time, compared to the hour it took to download the TAR.
My elevator has been up for a long time my door just wouldn't open. Thank you for the help, and thank you for indulging, I digress.

This seems to be a question. Did you see there is a Q&A section?

I did see the Q&A but im just a lil confuse don't know what to do. I use the stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4-unsigned-update.zip and the stock+Voodoo-T959VKG4.tar witch was a big mistake i just realize I was missing something else help me out please
I think if u really want to learn and fix your phone u will put the effort into reading the very informative posts in this forum. Yes... there is a lot to read because lazy people start threads and beg people to give them some of their time and energy when if they used their own time and energy to read they would realize the answers are here for u. Just by starting this thread without researching makes this forum one thread more dilluted for self reliant people to look through to help themselves. Good luck!

Try this for starters. If you gotta go through the steps to get the phone back up and running might as well upgrade to GB

I upgraded to GB with Kies Mini the day it came out. The only thing I can do is to put the phone in download mode

If you can get into dl mode you'll be fine. Just follow that guide to the letter. Or if u already have gb just odin ravers kj6. It's in the dev section.

I have the Skyrocket (of course) and recently downloaded ICS OTA, or some sort of update. The phone rebooted as normal, but gave me the Clock Work Mod screen. I rebooted the phone from there and got a nice error message on my home screen saying the update was interrupted. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First!
Read around. Answers are everywhere!

Maybe im wrong but to do an update like that dont you have to be on stock recovery not cwm. I know some of the experts will chime in. FYI make sure you put things like this in Q&A for future ref.
I'm not sure if it was ICS or not. But I simply clicked on "Check for updates" under device management and I have one. The phone downloads the update but when it restarts I get the CWM Recovery screen. I'm new to Clock Work, but I went ahead and restored my phone to a previous setting through Rom Manager and tried again. Same thing. Do I need to disable CWM?
This is why I made this thread

First thing you need to specify, are you with rogers? Which phone do you have exactly?
flash the recovery file from sammobile through odin. Which also has ICS tar for the Rogers equivalent. Download the file, flash through odin. There is an All in one guide for noobs near the top of the general forum with layed out instructions, just find the post you need on the front page and follow those instructions. It should be listed under returning to stock or unrooting.
i would download the ICS tar from sammobile and use the method in the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348
That will show you how to get back to stock. that is the first sticky in the dev section.
Edit: oh beat me to it i type too slow lol.
As this is a question it belongs in Q&A. To OP your questions should should have answers in the stickies and the many Upgrade related thread elsewhere. But since the community pitched in I will just placce in Q&A.
Cheers

Hi can someone help please
I tried to install slim bin, then my phone display a "phoenix" and do not do anything else,
Then I wanted to revert to stock and followed these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341 # post13132341
My phone now only generates a mesage "Vibrant" when I star the phone and nothing else.
can you help please :crying::crying:
Would you look under the battery and verify that your phone model is SGH-T959V. Or as we know it sgs4g.
The thread you pointed to its not for sgs4g. You pointed to the vibrant. Major differences.
I assume you meant slim bean, what one did you flash. AFAIK, none of our kernels or ROM's have phoenix in them and I've flashed most of them. lol.
I see that op has another thread asking for someone to reupload kg4. I hope that he finds the correct info/Rom. His first flash was a vibrant Rom.
Kj6 is the current gingerbread stock release. Search for lumin30 posts on heimdall one click back to stock. Read, read, read (desexton's advice that still sticks in my head).

Just flash a stock rom with Odin or Heimdall and youll fix it. BUT, before all, be sure of your phone model, vibrant is not the same than SGS4G (SGH-T959V<<< this letter make the difference). Good luck
The vibrant didn't have the V after the 959... Yeah, crazy, the vibrant is SGH 959 & the sgs4g is SGH-T959V..silly Samsung making it difficult. It's confused many.
My phone is SGH-T959V, i realized that the thread was wrong after I try to install the rom, I think this has F... total my phone :crying::crying:
Yes Slim bean, to be hones i don't no what i have done but this is the third time that i have install a rom and always i have fond the download link here so i believe that i have fond the rom from the forum but from hum i don't know .
You'll be a pro at this in no time. Find/search for one of the one click heimdall kj6 packages (lumin30 has a great guide or bhundven has a sticky, and both deserve thanks). I would start there. Read lumin's guide.
