I kind of bricked my phone, and I am thinking if I overwrite with stock rom, it will work, since I have deleted some files that come with the stock rom.
You can just flash back to stock using odin in download mode and then upgrade to 2.2 using kies

I already upgraded mine to Froyo.
And my android system recovery is <3e>
Any packages I try to install gives me E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted ..
Help me please..
Use odin to flash back to JF6. Then use Kies.
If you want the older recovery, it's floating around here somewhere.

as has been already stated. USE ODIN. and do yourself a favor and learn what the hell you are doing to your phone before you screw it up....
I am so sorry. I am a desperate noob here.
I downloaded Odin, and loaded pit, but Odin is not recognizing my phone.
My phone is currently in Media player mode, and I cannot switch to debugging mode.
Can anyone explain me how I can use Odin to JF6?

you need to read before you go any further. there is about 100 threads on here about how to recovery from a brick and how to use Odin to get back to stock. you are doing nothing but spinning your wheels right now. READ. Understand. Comprehend. DO.

Follow the link below to bring your phone bach to stock condition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then use Kies to re-update to Froyo.
Please we implore you, Slow down and make sure you know what you are doing before you do it. Right now you can recover but if you keep doing things too fast you are gonna end up with a brick that you cant fix. Follow the links above and read each post at least twice to be sure you got it. Good Luck. Please reply to let us know if you fixed it.
Last question.
I had a program where it managed files, and controlled the phone to reboot into debugging mode. Now I have a different computer, I forgot the name of the program.
Mine is currently in media player mode, and is there a program that will allow the phone to reboot into the debugging mode? I cannot at all access the system controls.

debugging mode is not needed for recovery or download modes

When you use odin to restore it to stock you will be in download mode outside of the os. Debugging doesn't matter as this mode is strictly for flashing firmware.
Like everyone has said SLOW DOWN, READ, be sure you know what you're about to do before you even touch your phone.

hold down both volume buttons as you plug in the usb cable. From a powered off state
Now after installing, everything is wiped out, and back to factory state.
When I try to do "Kies mode" it repeats in a loop saying "loading".
All other connections including "media player" goes in a loop.
What should I do?
do you have kies loaded on your computer?
Yes I do. In fact, before bricking my phone, I updated to froyo through kies

Hey everyone!
So I flashed a ji6 tar through SGS kernel flasher to get 2e recovery. I think it managed to do so successfully because now I have CWM when I boot into recovery. HOWEVER, when recovery pops up it goes to the CWM screen and FREEZES! I cannot select any options including reboot system. I also now cannot startup my phone normally! What can I do? I have ODIN but it won't detect my phone when it's connected (tried this about 20 times). I'm running a mac so I guess there aren't very many options. The only way out of anything int his mess is to pull the battery. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! My phoen is now useless for all purposes. I tried factory reset, etc. On normal bootup my phone is stuck on the startup screen and never progresses past. Help please!
well odin doesnt run on mac.
search for heimdall. (same thing but for all OS) [PROGRAM] Heimdall - Open-Source Cross-Platform Flashing Suite ...
heimdall / odin use download mode not recovery, you know that right? hard to tell by your message.
Instructions for download mode:
plug USB cable into computer
have phone shut off
hold both volume buttons
plug USB into phone
let go of buttons when you see an android digging "down"

THanks for the tips.
I've been using (or trying to) Odin in Download mode but it will not detect my device. Recovery in CWM freezes, 2e recovery leading to the CWM screen is fine but when I hit'reboot now' or startup regularly using the power button, it's stuck on the boot up logo page. But I'm investigating Heimdall hopefully that helps or I am totally at my wit's end! Been working on this for a couple hours using everything I can think of! (And Google and XDA forums of course!)

Any chance you have access to a Windows based system? I've never used Heimdall, so I can't help you there.
Are you 100% sure you're in Download mode? Yellow shovel guy. Were you using Odin with VMware Fusion or something similar? Try different USB ports if it's a G5 or something, doesn't apply if a Macbook.
Heimdall is open source and it works on all platforms...

unfortunately i know nothing about heimdall, even though im the one that suggested it. studa! help a man out! i gave you your 900
here is a link to a 1 click heimdall package, which also has a prerooted version i suggest you get that as this a transitory os and rooting is part of the process of getting 2e recovery WITHOUT flashiing a stock kernel that will make your phone unbootable.
if you have connection issues refer to THIS THREAD
once that is completed, refer to THIS THREAD to MANUALLY replace 2recovery.
then to make sure it wasn't a wonky cwm file you had that made it freeze(actually now that i think about it you could use adb to push this to the root of /mnt/sdcard FIRST to see if its the cwm file. adb should work in recovery) grab the attached update.zip
Had a similar situation and had to order the USB jig to get out of it. It is pretty easy to make or if you want an easy (and clean) option, order one. Once you have that, remove the battery, SIM and SD. Reinsert the battery and then insert the USB jig. It will go right into download mode and then from there use Odin to flash it back to stock.
So here's a short list of what I did wrong:
1. Assumed I could waltz into the world of flashing on SGS4G just because I flash my MT4G almost everyday.
2. Flashed a ROM meant for 2.3 on a phone that had 2.2 on it.
It appears as if I soft bricked my mom's Galaxy S 4G. Almost time I boot the phone, I get a rainbow screen that changes periodically and hear a female-like voice saying something about a partition. Other times I get stuck in a bootloop. In an attempt to fix this, I tried to use Odin first. The website that one of the files was stored on was shut down recently. So I moved on to Heimdall. Everything was working fine until I had to choose which drivers to install.
In a sense, Heimdall detects my device. It indicates that the phone is connected and the phone is in download mode. But when it comes to time to choose the drivers to install, the only options I get are Unknown Device, which has no available drivers, and Gadget Serial. Sometimes I don't even get the option of Unknown Device.
So my three questions are as follows.
1. Is this actually a soft brick?
2. If not, what is the problem?
3. How can I fix the issue?
first of all tell me how did you install rom and from where
you hear a female voice in the sense you installed rom from odin i guess
now there lot many custom roms you can see in the development section you can read the instructions and install them
when a phone i soft bricked it actually shows up a screen saying "firmware upgrade failed reboot into recovery mode in kies"
now if you can enter recovery mode in the phone you are good to go
tell me more abt wt u did

I installed the ROM from the development forums and it was an Octane ROM. I'm not entirely sure which one. I know it was 2.X and themed like ICS. Themed but not true ICS. (Obviously)
I followed the instructions step by step like I always do when flashing my HTC Glacier. I followed a guide which told me to download two files, a recovery and UPDATE.ZIP. I had to put both in the root of my SD card initially, but push the recovery to system\bin. Booted into recovery, reinstalled packages, got to orange CWM, wiped cache and delvik cache, checked mounts and installed the zip from the SD card. The installation went smooth, but as soon as the phone booted, the screen went haywire and that creepy lady started mumbling.
I can't reboot into recovery. I either get stuck in a bootloop or stuck on the rainbow screen with the female voice mumbling about a partition. I'm pretty sure I tried to flash a ROM meant for Gingerbread when the phone was running on Froyo.
actually you are moving from froyo to gingerbread so obviously there is a change in bootloaders so i will post a link for you where you can download odin for sgs4g,drivers may be(i hope you have it already) and stock gingerbread.
i advice you to odin a gingerbread rather than using zip file in cwm but try to enter recovery mode
1.switch off ur phone
2.hold(volume up) and (volume down) at a time and hold power button when a screen splashes release the power button still holding the volume buttons.
3.this will take you to recovery mode where you can see an orange screen
4.try to reinstall the rom which you downloaded if that do not help then i will post you a link follow the instructions in that
---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------
first get into download mode
1.to enter download mode hold both volume buttons(i.e volume up and volume down) and insert usb to the phone
2.you will see an android icon with a triangle saying downloading then in pda section of the odin put the following file
Odin 1.85
Extract the rar file
Place the file in the pda section of odin and flash
Reboot enjoy Quit messing with kies
Download link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/team...n.rar/download
just le me know whether it works or not
At this point my mom is more interested in getting the phone to work. That's why I was using Heimdall. I'll definitely give your method a try, though.
The bootloaders would be the part I missed out on. I'm so used to the HTC Glacier and the ease of flashing that comes with it.

3.to enter download mode press and hold both volume buttons and insert usb cable
4.you will see an android icon and big triangle saying downloading or it may say firmware upgrade failed reboot into recovery in kies but dont worry odin will still detect ur phone
5.then odin will detect your phone by showing up an yellow area on the top

You can get it back with Heimdall. Take a look at bhundven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. All that is required to run the Heimdall One-Click is Java. Follow Bryan's post there and you should be fine. Note that you'll have to flash twice - Once to get the ROM on there & the 2nd time you need to check "Flash bootloaders". That will get you up and going.
The female voice you hear is "Linda" and she's trying to convert the native Samsung file system (rfs) to an ext4 file system as it's faster. That's what people are referring to when you hear about voodoo lagfix.
If you flash the 1st one-click, you'll be on stock Gingerbread. If you flash the 3rd one, you'll have stock ROM (read: bloated), with CWM recovery and root. From there you could flash Octane or other ROMs if you wish.

Right now, I'm PMing lumin30 who came out with a step by step guide for Heimdall. Heimdall indicates that my phone is connected, but Samsung USB Composite Device is not an option when the time comes to install drivers. All I get is Gadget Serial and sometimes Unknown Device.
Sent from my HTC Mytouch 4G using XDA
Guys, I missed a step that had to do with deleting drivers for anything Samsung/Android from my computer. I did so, ran through Heimdall again and it worked like a charm. The phone is up and running smoother than ever.
One thing, the phone never showed up as Samsung USB Composite Device, only Gadget Serial. I installed the drivers for it, and it worked. Weird, but I'm glad it all came together. Thank you all for your help and expertise.
One last question. Now that the phone is running on 2.3.6, can I safely flash a ROM such as Octane 2.X which is built for GB? I'm going to wait for an answer before I even try anything. I don't want that dreaded rainbow screen again.
I answered your PM on this.

Yes you can. If you're on stock 2.3.6, though, you'll have to flash a ROM via Heimdall or ODIN (Heimdall, preferably) that has CWM. You don't have to worry about the rainbow screen if you go to another Gingerbread-based ROM. The rainbow screen is the result of going from Froyo -> Gingerbread but not having the latter's bootloaders installed.
If he is on 2.3.6 why are you saying he has to flash with Heimdall or ODIN? Unless you think he is on stock 2.3.6?
Either way - he has been asking me the same questions through PM and is on a custom ROM already.
Yeah, I said stock. No biggie. I assumed he wasn't custom yet by that particular post. Good looking out

Oops. I goofed. Didn't see the "stock" on there. Apologies.
I have already used kies once to upgrade my sgh-i727's firmware to ICS. Anyways my aunt asked if i would do hers for her. I ran kies but after the firmware install had started I got an error message asking me to unplug my phone and boot in to recovery mode. However I can only get the phone to boot into odin mode. Either by turning it on normally i get the error:
odin mode
product name: sgh-727
custom binary download: no
current binary: samsung official
firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
Or i can boot in to normal odin mode holding the volume up and down keys while plugging the usb port in. Then I choose volume up to load custom rom i end up at the same error.
I did try endlessly booting into recovery mode holding the volume up and down keys while powering on (also tried just up and just down to ensure i wasn't crazy) and while samsung flashes super briefly i again end up in odin mode with the error message. I tried flashing a stock ICS and gingerbread roms via odin 1.85 but it fails saying there is no pit file. I have searched for a pit file to load but have been unable to find one, in fact I noticed I was not the only one unable to locate one for this model phone.
Even without recovery mode I still did try to do a emergency firmware recovery in odin mode (rather sure it wouldn't work but what the heck) to no avail. I am at a total loss. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this brick aside from haveing her exchange it with ATT? It is only two days old so that is a possibility if worse comes to worse.
I have scoured the forums, Google and everything else I could think of before asking for help so please don't thrash me if i missed something. some help and a point in the right direction is all i ask. thanks!

I am in desperate need of help .. I am not a noob to flashing roms and rooting, however I have a one-off situation w/ no precedents to my knowledge. I have read these and other forums for days to no avail.
I was flashing Infintium Rom 4.0.4 from MIUI 2.3.6. I followed the steps listed in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661690). After flashing I rebooted and waited however the phone was/is stuck on the Samsung logo and never progressed. I then pulled the battery and attempted to go back to recovery mode to reflash make sure I did flashed correctly. However, upon going back into recovery I was greeted by the below image.
Clockwork Mod is extremely distorted and flat out unusable !! As I read further down it advised to use Heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381). I downloaded and attempted to use, however my PC (Which by the way is Windows 7 64-Bit) recognized the phone but the Heimdall software did not. I already had the right drivers for the PC and phone. After a few tries I deleted the files and reapplied them. On the 2nd menu after selecting list devices, on the drop down the option for Samsung USB Composite Device neeever ever appears. I also tried on a different PC that ddnt have the drivers and started brand new. Still, Heimdall ddnt recognize.
I also tried to flash numerous files including but not limited to GTG Ultimate Unbrick via Odin. Again, PC recognized USB connection however program ddnt. At this point, I do not know if it is because the status of Clockwork Mod on my phone, but I know it is not because of the drivers or the USB ports on my PC.
In addition to that, I have just scrapped the idea of flashing or getting in CWM and just wanted to do a hard reset (While phone is off held Vol down and Power, once started released power and contimued to hold Vol down. This should take the phone from the Samsung logo to an alt menu that will give the option to do a factory reset. But again w/ my luck .. that screen neeever appears.
In short I have tried at least 3 different ways and many maaany variations to get the phone back into recovery or into a full boot and had NO success.. Please help and ask as many questions as needed to diagnose and resolve this issue .. Thanx in advance and apologize in advance if posted in the wrong thread.
Are you placing your phone in download mode?
Remove battery and place it back.
Hold vol+ & vol- , and plug in the usb to your phone with the other end already connected to the PC.
Now see if Odin or heimdall recognize your device.

If neither Odin or Hemdall can 'see' the phone, then possibly you don't have the correct drivers installed...
Try downloading and installing these:

Then open Odin/Hemdall and plug your phone in again while in Download Mode.

Try downloading and installing these:
Then open Odin/Hemdall and plug your phone in again while in Download Mode.

I just did that to post a pic as an example .. I did go to download mode and not recognizing it
The CWM screen is shot because you don't have gingerbread bootloaders, it will always look like that until to can flash the right ones..
Have you tried different cables, different ports, etc?
Sometimes mine would recognize.. sometimes being plugged in first then running Odin works, sometimes I would have to run Odin and then plug in the phone.. kinda a crapshoot...

I know I need to get the bootloader and a kernel on it however I cant = ( .. yet .. I have 4 different ports on my PC and have tried them all. i have tried phone on then run programs and programs on 1st then phone on and no new results.
I found this short video and it describes my exact situation .. please watch to futher understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug
So u have odin and heimdal both on the same PC and drivers for them if yes then try this.
On the PC/Laptop uninstall all the drivers for samsung or any other phone and follow this.
Go to accessories> system tool> system restore and check the restore point where the drivers for heimdall were installed restore to a previous restore point after restore finishes install the drivers for Infuse and see now Odin recognizes ur phone, It should.
I had the same exact problem, do you have another phone on which you can install the same CWM recovery on? ...Because the clockwork mod recovery still works, it's just that you can't see it. So just flash a new ROM, by going back n forth between phones, clock how many clicks it takes to get to 'choose zip to install' then 'download' on the not messed up phone, then do the same on the screwy one, just keep doing that till u flash the new ROM.
