Stuck in Download Mode. Root Failed. Now Working on Stock Kernel. Back to normal!

Mission Accomplished!
Thanks to all in this thread.
Hi,
I am a idiot...
I have search all over this site and can not find a solution.
I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy s2 Skyrocket
I used this link... http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/#comment-496
After Oden Failed I was stuck in Download Mode.
After a bit it went to " Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Kies nor Oden recognize the phone anymore...
I came to realize I have a SGH-I727 ERRRR
Anyways I am stuck at this
"ODEN MODE
Product name: SGH-I727
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Is there anyway to get back to factory or root from here a proper way?

Congrats as you are the first victim.
Just wanted to say Congrats you are the first victim of the i777/i727 confusion.
My suggestion is to follow exactly what it tells you to do.
Download Kies 2.0
And hopefully you can recover
OR
Maybe you can just power off and power on the device and see if it will boot maybe Odin never got a chance to write anything.

Thanks
Well
I managed to Find different Kernal to use on Oden
Though its the Telus Kernal
I Need to get the I727 Factory Kernal....
so thats my issue Now ...

I can post a drop box link to the stock boot.img if you need it

YAY
That would seriously be awesome if you could
Its in a .TAR file correct?
and id use Oden 1.85 to use it?

I unfortunately could use that link as well, however not for quite the same reason.

Sorry but will just be the actual boot.img
Not exactly sure how to make a ODIN tar but can attempt that real quick as well and post on here?

HERE IS THE i727 UCKJ2 STOCK KERNEL ODIN
***************MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SAMSUNG DRIVERS INSTALLED********************
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Extract the downloaded zip to your preferred folder
2. Go to the folder in which you extracted the zip to. Right-click ODIN3_v1.81.exe and left-click Run As Administrator <----------IMPORTANT
3. Turn off your phone or pull battery and put back in
4. Hold both of the volume keys and plug in the USB cable while still holding the volume keys
5. You will be prompted with needed input. This is now the correct time to make up your mind LOL
6. Open the ODIN window from which we earlier launched
7. Select PDA then browse to the file i727UCKJ2_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
8. ENSURE THAT ONLY **AUTO REBOOT** & **F.RESET TIME** & OF COURSE **PDA(which you just clicked to select the kernel tar)** ARE CHECKED AND NOTHING ELSE
9. Now click START
10. Once the process has completed the phone will have rebooted and you should see "PASS" at the top-left of ODIN. YOU CAN NOW UNPLUG YOUR PHONE AND ENJOY THIS LOVELY STOCK KERNEL!!
****I HAVENT PERSONALLY TESTED THIS AS OF YET BECAUSE I AM AT HOME SO I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK****
I extracted the kernel from the boot.img, created the tar, created the md5 and zipped up the created kernel md5 tar with ODIN and there you have it.
Please give feedback after using it so I can ensure that all is well. ENJOY GUYS!

uh oh

Very sorry for the failure man. I have my skyrocket now so will be able to figure out what went wrong shortly.
Did you right-click Odin and run as administrator? Could be the culprit. Also I have double checked over the files, pulled kernel from my phone and compared to kernel used in my Odin and they are identical.... Reran the steps to create the Odin tar and file size matches the one already created ???? Wtf!!
Now i'm wondering if there is a specific version of Odin to be used with our phones because besides that i'm stumped at the moment. Any input?

OP did you try this and it work?

damn tough luck... but i guess you should have read more clearly that the post was for the I777 lol...hope you can get ur phone up and working...i wonder if theres a way you could flash the kernel via ADB, i know on MOTO you can access ADB before booting Android..Not sure if Samsung has a mode like that.

Yeah I know how it feels to jump the gun lol but ever since I bricked a captivate because lack of reading first, I make sure and read every word lol
You have to use the t-mobile sgs2 root method. There is a windows batch file that entire process so easy that I caveman could do it

Its always great to belittle our poke fun right? I feel if you can't help then don't post. Like its his fault the development section is located in a place that almost promotes this type of incident!

I personally rooted my SR long before the forum was established... I was probably the first one that did it, and the first to post my results in the I777 sections.
But unlike most people.. I DO READ and study all the possible facts...
I mean it sucks that he is stuck... but hey.. **** happens
As for helping we can only do so much as of what we have. Without a source code or/and a full original dump of the ROM.. it's really hard to "fix" a problem.

[Q] [Pit File] for GT-P6200 is Required, Plz Help.....

Hi everybody.....
I need the [.Pit] file for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 plus (GT-P6200-3G+WiFi),
to do Re-Partition using Odin software.
Why?
......Because i bought my device from China and they have the Bootloader locked, and no matter what (other region) firmware i tried to flash, it just failed.
On Chinese devices, i can't use the usual Android Market and the internet browser is restricted to use china Baidu search engine, with other more restrictions that drive me crazy.
Baseband Version: P6200ZCKL2
Help is appreciated....
Thanks

Are you sure? My 7+ came from China and I've had none of those problems, flashed over to the Indonesian firmware now.

May be your's baseband is HongKONG not the mainland China.

Hi Developers....
I found this (P6200-Flash guide.pdf Tutorial), explaining how to do flashing, and the most important thing is that.....It points to the use of a certain Pit file
named [p2_20110905.pit].
http: //www .multiupload .com/VUR7LLHSVW (delete blank spaces inbetween)
Now....does anyone know how or where i can find it???

Big Thanks to you gingerboy92.
I have a question before using the .Pit file:
Can i use it with Odin Software or i should use Heimdall Software to flash my device?
Does it make difference if my device have no IR ? What about yours ?

i use this pit file to solve my bootloop problem
and also i use full stock firmware KK1(indonesia) with bootloader and csc inside the firmware

i have no idea why it didn't work.. never done it before.. maybe you should try using heimdall. i think its better when it comes to changing the partition table.. but i don't know, it might not work at all or might turn your tab into a fruit*..

thanx for your respond, it looks like that the pit file is working, but in my case, i have to flash the original firmware.......
and when i try to flash other region firmware, it just fails as you can see in the report above........
the chinese firmware bootloader is locked.......i tried to clean the Cache and Davlik files (but not the factory setting) prior to flashing and again operation failed.
My last chance is to include factory setting cleaning prior to flashing, but i am afraid that may ruin the whole device.
Anyway, from within Android system files, i managed to get rid of all system programs that i don't want, and install all other programs that was missed, including the android Market..... and everything is alright.

I bricked my phone (details inside post)

Hi guys I just bricked my phone. It is the vzw galaxy s 3 and I had it rooted using this method --> www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=TnOthODuAvM&list=UUzoKZegNgnnYJ3ex4uatJCw&index=0&feature=plcp
I was trying to un-root it using this method --> www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=4gViuW3xUts&feature=plcp
but it failed writing and now my phone says firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I am trying to be as specific as i can as defined by this video --> www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=_UhIfFo8GFE&feature=plcp
Please help me out asap. The reason I am trying to restore it to stock is because i am going to Verizon tomorrow and i am getting it replaced cause my screen cracked. I really messed up didn't I?
After it said it failed to flash in Odin3 I unplugged the phone and pulled the battery but that made it do what it is i think. anybody who can help me?
also I can get into download mode I think I just re installed the stock.vzw_root66 file that i used to root the phone leading to its overwrite making it fail I am not sure how to fix this please help
PS: yes i pushed the power button and i have not tryed to do anything with it yet because i am scared to make it worse. and yes it is charged lol
please help me lol

here is a little update: gyazo [dot] com/3e01595d8a405203c9355996abea130c

why did you use that method when i have a full tutorial in the dev section...stick to xda for your modding needs! also try section 6 of my guide. if that dont recover your device then try the alternate method linked at the bottom of that section.

Thank you very much sir I am trying your methods now but the kernel is taking forever to download considering it is a 1.2 gig file lol. I will post an update after I am done.

I was folliwing your guide and I only got to step 6 then this happened:

This has happened to me before...if this was the stock rooted ROM I would try the stock Un-rooted ROM. I think the rooted one gave me that same issue on multiple flashes and the stock one worked fine.

I have a sprint s6 and just installed XtreStoLite. I used TWRP custom recovery. All worked fine except I don't have cell service. It was switched off by default and when I turn it on I get the message "Insert SIM card to access network services"
I tried restarting my phone and removing and replacing the sim card. I also tried inserting an old verzion sim card I had laying around but no luck their. Am I missing something or what is the problem here?

Which kernel have you flashed?

Maybe you mess with the efs folder. Try restoring a backup or restore the efs if u have a backup of it

I didn't flash a kernel originally so I guess that means I had the stock kernel. I flashed UniKernel V9 but still no luck with cell service or flashing stock rom.

I installed a different rom. XtreStoLite is not compatible with G920P but I tried it anyways. I installed Renegade as I'm having issues installing the stock rom, and cell data works normal again. If you're looking for a light rom, go with Twisted. Also works for me.

I am having similar issue on G920F, no SIM, Insert SIM card to access network services, restarts on inserting/removal od SIM, no mobile networks menu. I can use Smart switch, had xtrestolite, can flash official and unofficial roms, but it stays the same. everything else works fine (wifi, camera, etc.).

Rooted, bricked, Trying to Flash back to Stock but Odin keeps failing, details inside

He howdy ho,
Like it says in the title, I rooted my phone (using galaxys7root.com tutorial) a while back with the intent to get access to Hosts so I could keep myself off reddit at least on mobile. Everything was working fine for a couple weeks, but then this morning a lot of my apps kept crashing (not even while they were being used, just in the background. Repeat offenders were google maps, facebook and google play services). Thinking all I needed was a reboot, I restarted my phone and now its stuck in a boot loop. No big deal, I could just reflash to stock with Odin and be done with it.
Downloaded Odin 3.12.3 and grabbed the T-Mobile stock firmware from galaxys7root.com and started the process in Odin. Except it keeps failing and I don't know why. Here's what odin is saying:
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

Information on phone screen reads:
SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 3 > Binary 2
[1]eMMC write fail: aboot
EDIT: Tried re-doing it after a fail in a different USB port, gets past initialization, but now its hung up on "SET PARTITON"
Odin log now looks like this:

Hi, it's been a while since I have done rooting on galaxy's. But, I'm still using odin. I'm not sure about that galaxys7root.com or how reliable is, but I suggest you visit sammobile.com and get the firmware that's right for your phone, check for phone model or carrier and also the firmware version that matches the one that was on your phone when rooted. Get Odin from them too and follow the instructions on how to flash at the bottom on the download page.

Thanks, I didn't know about Sammobile, I'm downloading everything from there right now, will update when I have tried it out (I'm using a free account so the download speed is abhorrent). Thanks for the reply!

Also what version of Odin are you using? Theres a special version that i was told to be used for the galaxy s7 - Odin3 v3.12 by PrinceComsy. Make sure its the PrinceComsy version.
Let us know if you need any more additional help!

It's working now, I used Odin 3.11 I got from SamMobile. No longer bricked and now its got stock firmware on it. Awesome, thanks guys!

Hey I badly need to know which firmware you used? SamMobile only has it for the sm-935f? I need it for the sm-930t, the stock firmware. I'm bricked too.

Do you know if there's a fix for this without having to go back to stock ???

Call me naive, but how do I just go about "using kies" to restore my firmware. I downloaded the latest version already.

Here is the link
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930T/
Use the tools provided there. Follow the instructions. You should be able to restore back to stock. Regarding root, my advice is not to try it.

How can I give you 1000 thanks. I searched the better part of the weekend and Friday looking for this correct compilation of firmware. Dude, in all sincerity, you just saved me from having to claim insurance and get a different one, which isn't cheap. Took 2 hours to download but still, you are the man in my book today my friend. Thank you.
