I have my friend's galaxy s 4g and he wanted me to root it then flash custom rom,
I didn't pay attention since it says galaxy s on the back, I just downloaded a rom and flashed it but phone already messed up.
right after flashed it, got this screen http://i.imgur.com/NIYK2.jpg (!) and somehow i was able to skip it and get galaxy boot logo then phone keeps restarting.. tried to put it into downloading mode, but no luck, computer say usb device cannot be recognized, I even tried different usb ports and different computer, noluck.
Tried to find solutions by using search but nothing.. I am thinking to buy usb jig.
Any advise?
Lol. That sucks. Maybe next time you will do a little searching and reading up.
Now would be a good time to learn to search. You are the 10000 person to do this.
Look and you will find your answer.
Also.. this should be in Q and A.

Well, this does happens a lot. It'd be nice if odin could recognize which phone does the ROM you're about to install belongs to, and what phone is connected. If they didn't match, odin could warn you before flashing. And this wouldn't be happening as often.

Have you tried:
Remove the battery
Plug in the USB cable
Hold down the VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time while putting the battery in
That might get you into download mode.

Ok I did, I used odin and stock firmware to flash then this came up and wont go away,
BUT ODIN still can see the phone
You probably need to flash a good ROM with good bootloaders. If you're not worried about going to GB, you can do this:
Grab chadster's KG4 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1183413
It has 4 files:
Put CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL1385158_REV00_user_low_noship.ta r.md5 in PDA
Put Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit in PIT
Put SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5 in CSC
Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 in PHONE
Let ODIN decide what needs to be checked & flash.

Awesome, glad it's working If you're wanting root, the easiest way (for me) is to flash one of drhonk's kernels from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194032
Make sure you grab the one that matches the ROM you're on (KG4 in this case). Flash it via ODIN (put it in the PDA spot), and flash. Those will give you CWM, root, & voodoo.
Before you do that, though, I would update to a newer GB ROM. KJ6 is the latest & people have reported better wifi with it. I'm running the KJ6 ROM, drhonk's KJ1 kernel, with Adrenaline Shot v12 and my phone runs great.

Introduction
This package will totally reset your Infuse 4G to UCKJ4 . This package is intended for use on AT&T, however it will work with any device if you reset APN.
This package includes:
Repartitioning: Repartition to stock KJ4
Reloading: IBL/PBL, PARAM, SBL, SBL2, Kernel, Recovery, FactoryFS and modem
formatting:Cache and DBdata
This package does not wipe:
EFS(Where your serial number and carrier information is stored)
Data(where your market apps are stored)
SDCard (where your pictures are stored)
You may use this code to reformat the Data and SDCard *2767*3855# There is no way to do this from Download Mode. The code will leave the EFS untouched.
Download:
Download Total Stock UCKJ4

}
Instructions:
Get the latest version of java here: http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Put your phone into "Download Mode"
Run the program once, and if it does not work, then check the "Flash Bootloaders" checkbox and flash again
Your device will end up as it came from the factory. You will be asked to set your device up again.
If you would like to install CWM on your device to restore or flash a custom ROM, I have prepared LinuxBozo's Defuse 1.5 kernel in a One-Click package here:
Download Defuse 1.5
To flash this package, follow the directions above.
Please note, this may not boot your device, but it will allow you to use CWM recovery. Hold the 3 button combo without USB plugged in to activate CWM mode.
How I created these package:
I obtained the stock 2.3 bootloader from a link LinuxBozo gave me
The stock part.pit came from my device using Heimdall(Download Pit option)
Uploaded the UCKJ4 firmware to my device
Performed "wipe data" in recovery mode
Exploited the root prompt at the battery charge sequence using UART and grabbed the stock, wiped dbdata/cache partitions and params.lfs partition
Created a Heimdall tar.gz package using Heimdall 1.3
Finally, I used my Heimdall One-Click *BETA* packager to generate these one-clicks
This procedure can be reproduced for any custom ROM in the future by using the dd command to obtain the factoryfs and kernels from any device. Bootloaders may be obtained from within this package as it is an executable JAR file which can be unzipped.
Thanks

You might want to put the defuse kernel in another thread. Don't want people flashing 2.2.1 kernels on 2.3.6
Also might want to make a Hellraiser kernel version for people that Odin'd the leak or Rogers users that want a quick root/cwm without Odin

This package is posted as a method to get your phone back to stock and the defuse kernel provides easy access to cwm.. I had it around and it works. I tested before posting. Its there because it will give CWM. I will probly post a new one later with a 2.3.6 kernel but for now, this is how you get CWM on your device from Linux or Mac with one click.
I needed to flash the bootloader in order to get mine to boot up, but its been running for ~1 hour now and looks pretty nice. Offhand, do you know if HDMI is working for you? I'll go ahead and test after posting and I'll include my results here.
Edit: Nevermind, found cross-post with the results I needed. Stock kernel, HDMI works, rooted kernel (Entropy, etc.) breaks HDMI as they're based on Rogers roms.

oh boy, there is always a risk of permabricking when flashing bootloaders, (unless you did the unbrickable mod or have a jtag)
ok to start to see if you are actually permabricked;
1 pull your battery out
2 get a good micro usb cable, try this with more than one if you have to, if you had a problem flashing it may have been caused by the cable.
3 insert the cable into the usb port and into the computer.
4 hold both volumes with the phone face down, while the volumes are held slide the battery into position. see if the phone enters the download warning screen, it will ask you if you are sure you want to flash custom firmware, hit volume up. it may also go into a phone + computer screen or strait into download mode. all are good signs.
if you end up in download mode congrats! reflash!
if the screen is still black id recommend sending the device to connexion for jtag flashing or to adam if he is willing to repair it, these methods will void the warranty do to hardware modification (the repair may require soldering) . you may also atempt a warranty repair with samsung or insurance replacement with att but if they find that you are responsible samsung will charge you for the repair and im not sure what the insurance company will do.

A guide to root the new ICS UVLH5 firmware update.
This guide will try and make it very easy to root your stock firmware for those of you who are having
problems or don't want to wait for a stock rooted rom
anyways here goes the step by step assuming that you have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g T769 and are on ICS
UVLH5 firmware.
Before anything of course you'll need the files and here they are:
ClockWorkMod Recovery
Blaze Pit
Odin 1.8.5 Zip
SuperUser Zip
After downloading all the files first move the Superuser.zip to the root of your sdcard..not internal sdcard but the removable one. Then unzip the Odin zip and once unzipped:
Step 1:
Run Odin 1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
Click PDA and select the TAR for clockworkdmod you downloaded. Click PIT and select the Blaze PIT your downloaded.
DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE REPARTITION UNCHECKED
Step 2:
Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down
Then while holding the voume keys plug in USB cable
You should now be in Download Mode
Step 3:
Make Sure repartition is still unchecked and click START in Odin.
Step 4:
When done the phone will reboot to the OS after this you have to reboot to recovery, here are a few ways.
1. adb command: adb reboot recovery
2. volume combo.
a. turn off phone.
b. hold volume + and volume -
c. while holding the volume buttons hold the power button for 10 seconds
d. after the 10 seconds release power button but keep holding volume buttons until you get into CWM recovery
Step 5:
Flash the SuperUser zip file
Step 6:
Reboot to System
Step 7:
Check whether root took or not.
Step 8:
If it did come back here and click thanks

I didn't expect to be able to do that so easily, but it all worked! Thanks much.
I had used the first stock root posted here, but didn't bother updating it to the minor patch that was released. I updated to ICS using Kies, knowing that I would lose root, and since my phone was rooted I was half expecting it to not work.
Well it did, and it almost worked too well. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't even lose any apps or settings in the process. I lost root of course, although surprisingly superuser is still loaded on the phone. (I've confirmed the phone is not still rooted)
Anyways, my memory is a bit foggy, but doing this process is a total wipe on the phone right? I might even prefer that.

honestly, as am i, as my reply had nothing to do with your post perhaps a lack of sleep, perhaps a miss click, idk. but I guess we never will
I wish I read this thread sooner.
Here's my situation:
I had a rooted Gingerbread stock ROM that I upgraded to the official ICS update using Kies. I then used the same ODIN method to root the phone and now it won't boot up past the "Samsung Galaxy S" loading screen. Any ideas on where to go from here? I'm afraid if I do anything else haphazardly, I would only be digging myself deeper into this hole.
Thank you!
You flashed a GB kernel on ICS. If I were you, I would flash a GB .tar using Odin (unless you can find an ICS .tar somewhere?). Then, boot into recovery and wipe system and data, because you'll see a blue ICS menu flickering in the background upon booting up into the GB phone setup screen. At least, that is what happened to me. Then, upgrade to ICS using Kies.

Hey guys. First I'd like to aplogize for posting so many help threads but I'm trying my best to figure it out on my own.
I was using one-click to stock when my mother dropped something and needed my help urgently, so I told my brother to start it up for me as my phone was already plugged in and connected. I am running the T959W rather than the T959V and my brother clicked on the option to flash bootloaders. The download was completed normally I think. However, my phone will not leave the recovery mode.
Could you guys please help? Thanks.
When flash bootloaders was hit on T959V back to stock, my brother said it said "MODEM UPLOAD FAILED ENDING SESSION". My guess is that it cleared my boot loader and then since it failed while trying to upload the modem, it ended the session without readding a boot loader? It continously says "MODEL UPLOAD FAILED" Whenever I attempt to use the T959V back to stock.
Edit:
I have tired the back to stock for T959W from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956025
However, I get these error messages.
Kernel is missing because I removed it out of the package hoping maybe it'd solve the problem since it was also failing, but so is recovery...

Sometimes heimdall is finicky so if you know for sure you got the drivers working and you followed instructions properly trying it a couple times in a row might do it....although I guess if you say it keeps failing that would imply more than once...

Yes it has failed every attempt (I''ve tried about 10 times).
At this point you should really start fresh maybe even a different computer and see if you get anywhere. Typically if it's not working it's a driver issue and you gotta get rid of all the drivers related to the phone and reboot, then re-install them using zadig...and maybe reboot again.

When flash bootloaders was hit on T959V back to stock, my brother said it said "MODEM UPLOAD FAILED ENDING SESSION". My guess is that it cleared my boot loader and then since it failed while trying to upload the modem, it ended the session without readding a boot loader? It continously says "MODEL UPLOAD FAILED" Whenever I attempt to use the T959V back to stock.
The problem is you are using the V HOC's there is a package for W phones on the forums.

Yes I realize that however, I checked the T959W thread and they said there were no bootloaders. And that is likely the thing that is messed up right now. Thanks for your help!
I think there's no way to flash bootloaders on W's and the package that's specifically for the W was designed just for this purpose, to bring back a phone that's messed up from attempting to flash V bootloaders. Have you tried downloading it again? If that's the only one you have trouble with maybe it's just a bad download.

Oh also you can go in and uncheck flash modem on the one-click and the rest of it should work just fine. I think.

This might help me just get the boot loaders fixed!
here is the deal unless you worked some weird voodoo magic you never flashed the V's bootloaders. There is a partition in there that will not allow it to work properly.
Rereading getochkn's instructions you should not be flashing the bootloaders as he DID NOT include them. Follow his directions to the letter. Dont use the one clicks for the V. I remember chatting with him in IRC while he was trying to figure this out and he could NOT flash a hoc for the V with bootloaders successfully I dont even think it worked without bootloaders.
Ok, So I installed LiquidSmooth and Gapps (or at least tried) then go to the last option (Reboot System) Now its stuck doing nothing, it just sits at the blank screen, I also tried putting it in Download and Recovery Mode.
Someone out there, HELP ME.:crying:
Try going back to stock. May have been a bad flash.

Not sure how it works on the SG3 but for us Sony people, all we have to do is put it in flash boot and flash a file and we are back at stock.

You probably flashed the wrong Version of a Rom you'll probably have to send it to these people on the internet they fixed mine for 60 bucks because I flashed a wrong kernel and mine did the exact same thing yours is doing

Everything gets altered by the manufacturer so just because your Sony phone has whatever it was we were discussing doesn't mean that Samsung has kept the same functions.

It's just a normal stock image file. Why doesn't Samsung have a stock image for their altered version of Android? Most companies do it. Motorola does it, Sony, same with my Nexus 7. It has stock images. And I'm sure they do, why don't they just release it?

We do have stock image files. They are flashed by connecting the phone to a PC and using a program called ODIN. The phone must be in download mode in order to flash files though ODIN, and the OP has said he cannot get his phone into download mode. So ODIN doesn't help him at this point..Hope that helps you understand how it is done on a Samsung phone.

Most likely getting one soon, so that helps.
OT - It's probably bricked. Bring it to your local Verizon store and beg for mercy.

Again since you're new to the Samsung dealings with bricked phones going through Verizon is pointless if he can go to mobile tech video's website and ship them his bricked phone and they will fix it for 50 bucks.

Um mobiletechvideos do have jtag too and why do you think people keep recommending the websites jtag services as they actually know how to use jtag. As for the matter of jtag it seems like you didn't know what you were doing when using jtag so you send it to mobiletechvideos which basically did the same thing you did but with more experience with the debugger tool.

I'm trying a new method, So I'll update you guys on what works and what does not.
Alrighty fellow forumers,
My Galaxy S 3 that's a Verizon flavor is solidly bricked. I've tried almost every method out there (in the wild wild Internet) and nothing has even gotten the device to turn on or flash or anything.
Here's the thing thought: When I take the battery out and plug the S3 into my computer (or wall charger), the LED (red) light comes on as if it is charging (when plugged into the computer, it actually installs the USB drivers as it is recognizing it, but ODIN saw it once before [still bricked] but doesn't anymore).
If there is any other way I can perform a different method on trying to unbrick this thing. Feel free to send me a message on here.
Thanks for all you guys help! Wish me luck and lets pray for a work around.

You are describing classic signs of a hard brick. Jtag is your only help. Contact mobile tech videos.

Did I completely hose up my Samsung Infuse?
All the phone will display is this:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Nothing else - no recovery menu, nothing except the above message.
Samsung Tech Support says the Infuse is incompatible with Kies.
I was trying to updated the firmware to ICS.
Is there anyway to recover this phone???
Thanks

Note 3 ???
I contacted Samsung Tech Support and they say Kies does not support the Samsung Infuse.
Guess that is why when I enter SGH-I997 as the model # in Kies, it says its not a valid model #.
Wonder if Samsung is just abandoning the Infuse?
What I need is a procedure to do a complete Factory Reset where my Infuse phone does
not have any menu selections for download, etc. The phone will only display "Firmware
upgrade encountered an issue ..."
Yeah note 3 bought it yesterday.
As told u can flash it with odin,
Just download a factory firmware and flash it with odin or use heimdall.

I did try odin this morning. Odin reported success but the phone won't do anything.
I checked PDA and selected a Clockwork Mod (CWM) hoping I would get the boot menu but no go.
I had these checked: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, and F. Reset Time.
Now that I think about it, should I have selected BOOTLOADER rather than PDA?
Phone this afternoon is at Best Buy where a Samsung Tech is looking at it.
I watched him work with it using Kies, etc and while there it was not fixed.
Carl
Got the phone back from Best Buy -- no joy.
Tried everything to un-brick this phone.
Did learn that Kies is not compatible with Samsung Infuse.
There might be a setup with Odin that will unbrick it but I really think its going to take some
other software because apparently data is not being placed in the phone.

THAT DID IT -- Thanks very much, I have my Samsung Infuse working now.
Those files worked perfectly with ODIN -- I did choose the rooted one.
What confused me was that my Samsung Infuse screen had only this on it:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
BUT, when you provided me with those tiles above and I setup Odin
to use files for PIT, PDA, and PHONE, a blue progress bar started
appearing just below that "Firmware upgrated encountered ..." message.
Thanks much.
Carl
PS: I spent a long time chasing down a file called GTG Ultimate Unbrick that
took me to sites that wanted to install spamware, etc. Anyone running across
threads like that, don't waste your time -- instead use the process mention

After the fresh reload, I noted that the phones Android OS works much speedier.
Before I go try again to install ICS, is ICS on the Infuse slower?

Is the download in another thread?
Like to make sure I use the one from a reliable source like you.
Thanks again.

I found these Jelly Bean files:
BeanStalk4.3.00-20130811-infuse4g.zip
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
BUT, when I try to boot ICS in Recovery, all that is displayed is ...
GALAXY S
cyanogen (mod)
... and nothing else happens.
I had to remove the battery to get the phone to work again.
I tried to enter Recovery by selecting the Reboot Recovery and also tried
holding down both Volume Up/Down and the Power buttons but they only
resulted in the GALAXY S screen.
Any advice?
Thanks
