Hello all,
If any of you pros can help me out with this I'll be eternally grateful.
So, I rooted my galaxy S2 with the guide on here and after superoneclick it just switched off. I booted it up and it just loops forever, yellow triangle then my provider (LGU+ Korea).
I can reboot into download mode and re-flash with XWKDD_insecure.tar. This starts the phone and I can access main features but it says rooted and I can't make any calls or 3g access.
As soon as countdown is up and screen locks (or I press lock) then the phone is bricked again and I have to re-flash just to get to that screen. So, I re-flashed and then ran the superoneclick program. Clicking unroot this time. It seemed to work and now I can get WIFI but no calls.
However, as soon as the screen is locked it is due a flash. Also, it's impossible to charge.
I'm new to this as you can tell but the guide is simple and I followed it step-by-step. I've read elsewhere on here that I can unroot this with a custom ROM? Where can I find these on the site?
Also, will they be applicable for me in Korea?
Basically I need to undo what I've done and get the phone reactivated. Please can somebody give me some advice and the download location of these ROMS that so I can get the phone reactivated.
Thanks in advance. Really stressing out here. It's on a rather expensive 2-year contract!

I have an uncommon problem with rooting my new Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE. I live in Poland and bought the phone from Hongkong (btw I have some doubts about originality of this device). I've been trying everything to break the root access, but I failed every time. At the moment I loaded Android 4.0.4. with Odin (Phone wouldn't update automatically so I found the update on the Internet).
MY DEVICE Baseband: SHV-E120L.FG11.1351.LT
Firstly, I've been trying just to use SuperOneClick, which crushes just after clicking "ROOT". It can't even recognise my device connected via USB. Then I tried flashing custom ROMs/Mods with Odin, but I couldn't find software matching to my baseband (I don't know if it matters). I also failed to load any recovery (I still can't find how to flash .img files, while i don't have sdcard). Besides I have been doing lots of internet research and nothing matches my problem. After a week of spending about 2h daily trying to root the phone I went to service point, where they told me there is hardly anyone in Warsaw, who would be able to root my device, because it was bought from abroad and they don't have proper equipment to do that... (?)
As you see I'm in lost position, at least one of you had similar problem and know how to fix it. I'm very desperate to root my phone because I've got tons of korean U+ bloatware and I have this "no caller ID" problem with messages... Also this model has shorter battery life than I was expecting, so I hope to be able to load kernel, managing processor voltage.
Waiting for replies asap!
I'm new to XDA so please forgive me any slips. I didn't find a section for this exact device and I hope here is the right place to put this thread.
So, I've done this before, and I've never bricked a device until now.
I tried installing a custom rom for my Galaxy S3 on Verizon, but when I restarted, it says this:
System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.
I can't get into clockwork, or any bootloader. Any attempt to do anything brings this screen up.
Now, I can get into the Odin downloader. (Power, volume down and home). But, I can't figure out how to get a Rom to load. This is where I am stuck. I have downloaded a few roms, all stock, but none of them want to be recognized. I have no idea where to go. I've been downloading stuff for 5 hrs and nothing has worked, so now Im going to the forumns. Any help is appreciated.
I have the Verizon i-535 Galaxy SIII.
You did not brick your phone you failed to unlock your bootloader. There are 2 guides in the android dev section for rooting.

Odin back to stock and next time after rooting make sure to use EZUnlock 1.2 to unlock the bootloader BEFORE loading a ROM
Ok here we go thank you to whoever takes the time to answer these sorry if I sound uneducated in this field but I have no idea what I am doing really.
1) I am running a Galaxy S4 through Koodo (Canadian) sgh-i337m baseband I337MVLUFNE1 the build number is the same but with KOT49H. added to the front of it, my question is is it possible to unlock my bootloader I've seen posts about AT&T locking theirs or something and I wasn't sure.
2) Secondly I've rooted my phone using Odin and how can I tell if my bootloader is unlocked? (keep in mind im not too tech savvy with the android OS yet)
3) What would happen if I flashed Cyanogenmod onto my device and it wasn't unlocked? I bought ROM Toolbox pro
4) How do I go about doing anything in recovery mode everytime I go through it shows a dead android guy and doesn't give me many options?
5) How do I change my boot screen, I tried a few methods but I don't think I am deodexed (which i don't know what it means really) and it tells me i cant change themes etc with ease, when i tried that x-(something) program to deodex my device it couldn't detect the device through the usb or it took ridiculously long and I quit out.
Thank you very much to whoever can help me out, I'm not sure where my Koodo GS4 falls in relation to canadian GS4's etc so I don't want to mess it up.
Hello,
I buy a Galaxy S Relay 4G, I first unlock the phone following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255892, root with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787068 install clockwork and make a backup, i use one time this backup and it works fine.
My problem is one day my phone ask me to upgrade to another version of rom... Cause i'm afraid it lock again the phone, i decline, and then he ask to upgrade everyday, and one day, i "missclick" and then the phone reboot and began to make lot of operations.
Two times he ask me to flash the rom and i say no the two times, then he start again but clockwork was removed, root removed, and the phone is on the same version...
Since then, he doesn't ask me to upgrade, but i canno't root the phone with towelroot... I doesn't understand why...
My phone has some lags so i want to revover my save...
My questions are:
- Can I reset the phone to reroot him ?
- It seems that i can make the upgrade keeping my phone unlocked, is it right?
Thank you
Followed the guide here to root my T-Mobile S7 Edge. It worked buy my phone lagged terribly and before I could get around to figuring out how to fix that, my phone entered a bootloop where I couldn't get past the T-Mobile screen. I flashed the stock firmware so it's fine now. But I want to root again, so what can I do to ensure I don't run into the same problem? I have the Snapdragon version by the way. Thanks in advance for any help.
