Hi.
I have been looking all over this forum and others, and have come to a dead end. I got the Galaxy 3 Apollo from Telus and it's got the network lock and SP lock. Now, I have installed all the programs from z4Root to adb, to even desperately trying the sgs unlocking tool. But nothing seems to work. Am I doing wrong, or is there another thread that I should be going to or is there nothing I can do? Looking for all the help I can get.
Thanks In Advance.
This thread helped me, although it was for SGS =)

I was tryin to root my samsung captivate on 2.3.5 gingerbread software when i accidently unplugged the usb chord it was stuck and wouldnt go into download mode when i tryed everything i decided to try and download the root and it finally worked but only a little it goes to world phone atnt and has galaxy startup but one i havnt seen it says samsung 19000 and then continues to go back and forth between the two it will get in download mode and recover mode but i just want my regular software back can anyone help??
First of all, the I9000 is the Galaxy S, not the Captivate. You can't (generally) put firmware from one phone onto another (I've NEVER heard of that, anyway).
You need to go back to the start by flashing a stock ROM and getting your phone back to working order. You can do that by going here...

I'd strongly recommend that you spend some time reading the sticky threads in the development and Q&A forums as they will have answers to most questions like this.
Good luck

Glad you got it sorted mate. Most of the answers you need are already here - you just need to know where and how to find them
I am in desperate need of some help. I falshed a rom to my phone using odin that was not for my device, since I am new at this and actually don't know much about it. So I looked for guidance on this forum and messaged many ppl but I have not gotten a response. I have tried links on the forum for the roms but they are all removed from the links. I flashed a rom for a shg-t959d and it boots up but it will not read my sd card says blank card but its not balnk my computer reads it, also my storage says 0.00gb. I just really want my phone back to a working state any help would be greatly appreciated.
Find links?
Any luck with your phone? I am looking to root mine as well, but like you I can't find any working files, or anybody to help. I have also posted and emailed people with no response. Very frustrating for beginners. I would be great full if you could pass any info on to me, and I will do the same for you. Were you able to root your phone without problem, and if so how? I was going to use odin, then I got nervous, so I was going to try superoneclick. Any help you can give would be great.
Hello,
Totally new to this Forum, and to the idea of rooting/unlocking phones at home. Hopefully someone can help or provide guidance. I'm sorry, I'm sure this answer comes up somewhere on here, but I have not searched.
Here is my predicament.
I got a new phone, and was going to try to root/unlock my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i9000M) for my GF's daughter.
So...I downloaded Odin 1.3 and ran the instructions as I found them on another site. They supplied the link to a *.tar file that would root the phone. After I ran that, the phone would power on...but not pass the Splash screen. When it boots the i9000M turns to i9000 and the lights on the front of the phone flash..and it stays on that screen.
I downloaded a different version of Odin (1.85), a new tar (CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1) and pit (s1_odin_20100512) files. I've run all of those...and now the phone will not power at all. If I run into Download mode...it works.
Thoughts?
Is this phone able to be saved...or should I just take it with me to hockey tonight and practice shooting with it.
I got it all to work...after much reading and searching, I found the original Stock ROMS to bring me back to factory, then properly flashed and unlocked, got the SIM to work and even figured out how to set up the APN for internet access via the phone service....initially I only had it working on wifi.
A new question. Is an unlocked i900M (Bell) the same as any other i9000? I want to upgrade her past Froyo 2.2, because her app/game selection is rather limited. Everything I am finding references i9000...and doesn't say with it is a Gingerbread upgrade for a stock phone, or unlocked phone.
I apologize if these are noob questions, but I've never done this before.
Any help.guidance would be appreciated.
Matt
Hello Guys,
I dont know if such a thread already exists. If so, please refer to it, thanks!
I have a huge problem: I bricked/rooted my SM-N9005 (Galaxy Note 3). Everything was good but then an issue came along the way and I wanted to unbrick it, so I could make use of the warranty. So I downloaded ODIN and found the right version on sammobile.com(N9005XXUENB4_N9005DREENB3_N9005XXUENB1_HOME.tar.md5).
I tried to unbrick it with odin, but failed somehow, and tried again, and failed,... then I had this issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666432
and now it wont start up ANYMORE. Black screen all the way!
I would be very pleased if you had a solution to get it running again, I dont mind wether bricked or unbrickt, I just want to use my Phone again, so please help you guys.
Thank you for your help

I did a similar thing, but I have twrp from this forum https://androidforums.com/threads/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-maze-speed-ssb504r-android-8-1-go-edidion-obama-phone.1292241/
this dude did a lot for us lol
idk what screen you are at, if you could detail what it is that you see, I may be able to help. I'm "Windows Desktop" on that thread btw.
As for rooting the device, if you're hard bricked there may be no way unless you can get through.
I'm assuming u were frp locked(Google locked) leading you to this problem.
-Edit
After some research i found out that if this happens you can enter "default_password" and it could let you in, apparently it's only some Android phones, and on top of that only some versions of those kernels, even if you didn't put a PIN/Password. If it doesn't work it could be some other number associated with the phone, I've tried all that i could think of with nothing helping so idk what to say. Well give it a try and lemme know what happens.
