Okay, so my friend came over today, so I could root/rom his phone. I set it all up, with Odin and everything ready, and when I ran Odin with recovery.tar, it failed. I thought, okay, probably just have to try again. I tried again, and it still fails. It is only soft bricked, but it may as well be hard bricked as I cannot fix it. PLEASE HELP!! I'm really worried about this.
Recovery.tar is to go back to stock. Scroll down here and you can find all the steps to root and install roms. Here

I did do this, and it failed. I followed these to a dot, and also, recovery is cwm.
Give me link of what you are using to root.

Get odin set up with tar, hold both volume buttons on the left side of the pone, while it is turned off (make sure you have usb cable unplugged first) then plug usb cable into the phone, and you should be in download mode.
If you are running 2.3.5 than y don't you use one click root.

He's using 2.3.6, got it yesterday. Okay, I tried restarting the phone, going to recovery, but whenever I try to flash, it fails.
Do you mean going into Dload mode?

Yea. Ok, it is definitely only soft bricked, but I cannot fix it as I can't actually get Odin to flash.
And thanks for helping me.
Take the battery out and place it back
Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug in the USB cable.
Press Vol up to continue to Download Mode.

Ok. So I went into download mode, opened up ODIN, and tried flashing CWM. When that failed, I tried again, taking out the battery and turning the phone back on to download mode, reflashing CWM, and it failed again. I then downloaded the complete stock flashable ODIN file.I flashed this, and it also failed. I have tried this multiple times, with different usb cords. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and flashing again. It still says failed.
Ok lets try different way. Just use odin to flash the .zip file aka Superuser thats all.
Install the drivers and make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
Rename the downloaded "su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip" to "superuser.zip" and put it on your EXTERNAL SD card.
Or place a custom rom on your EXTERNAL SD card.
If you want STOCK rooted then use the superuser.zip,

Your signature says tmobile. Is your friends device the samsung i727 skyrocket?
Yes silver its his friends device. Hey he says he can't flash cwm through Odin So i want him to just flash superuser.zip and install/flash CWM through Rom manager. What do you think will it work?

You dont use odin to flash the super user zip. You use cwm recovery. If he is not rooted he probobly also does not have cwm recovery.
oops....... So does your rom 2.3.6 do anything for him?

Hallo,
I tried to install Darky's Rom and it failed.
After the install and reboot, my phone won't boot. It's stuck at the Galaxy S screen.
I can boot into download mode.
When I plug it in, the charging icon shows but isn't doing anything.
That's all I can tell...
Any ideas how I can fix this?

If you still have access to recoverymode 2e or clockworkmod, use this to flash a new ROM, for example a WIPE rom from http://romkitchen.org/.
If you can't get into recovery mode, use ODIN and download mode to flash a new rom. Use the search and stickies on how to do that .
Thanks...no recovery mode I'm afraid...
I'll try the romkitchen tip...

I'm afraid rom kitchen will ned recoverymode too.
Take a look at the SGS forums there is a guide somwhere on how to use odin to flash a new rom .
From there you should work towards recovery mode with clockworkmod and then you are basicly good to go for any rom.

Do I need adb for that?
You don't need adb to use odin, but you need working usb drivers.

hey guys,
I flashed the "voodooChargeKernel4" tar file win Odin. Then I flashed the CWR recovery through Odin ( i know I ****ed up). It wouldnt boot and was stuck on the samsung screen. I pulled the battery and went back into Odin to reflash the voodoochargekernel again. Now it's stuck on a screen with a phone, a computer and orange triangle.
Well i got the same tar file to flash in Odin by switching USB ports, but now Im still stuck on the samsung screen
crap..i dont know what to do. I used the CWR recovery files from this thread on someone's recommendation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486. Now the phone wont turn on at all except download mode and anything I flash says fail.
Odin is flaky you may need to try a different USB port.
If that does not work try to remove the device in device manager and unplugging the phone and plugging it back in to the computer,.
And flash the below package

thank but that didnt work either. Its in an endless boot into recovery for some reason.
I had the problem, except mine wasn't going into recovery; it rebooted after every boot animation.
What worked for me was, using Odin, re-flashing the Kernel, unplug the phone, plug the phone in again, and then flashing Altered Beast, then turning the phone on. It didn't work if i tried them one at a time.
after u get the phone in download mde. re-install the battery and then flash via odin.
if your getting bootloop then try in recover to wipe data

Do a battery pull, then get the phone back into download mode. Close and open Odin, then plug the phone into USB. That should get Odin to behave again.

^^^this. And if I was you, I'd stay away from CM10. No disrespect but it seems like you don't know what you're doing. CM10 has a lot of issues like MMS, boot loops, losing data, losing IMEI and a rom like that really isn't for the beginner types. Stick to Synergy or Beans rom. They're good

I'm stuck in a boot loop after replacing my build.prop file, I replaced it with my own stock unedited one that I made a back up of with the one I edited with those RAM fixes. That did nothing and made my phone even slower so I used ES explorer and moved my stock file to the system folder and did an overwrite. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I'm rooted not running a custom rom or recovery. Is there any way I can get this working without doing a factory reset? Yes I already tried wiping cache.

always you have to do a nandroid backup for this case, but if you don't have the only way to fix this problem is flashing de stock firmware.

first you have to get out of that situation, that mean you need a stock firm. Later read tutorials to install a custom rom, because if you have problems modification build.prop installing a custom rom is more harder. Download and install the stock firmware.

Agreed. I'm still curious how I managed to put my phone into a bootloop by restoring my own build.prop file.
While using odin to flash firmware my usb connection kept cunning in and out for some reason I dont know why I even installed the updates. And it failed. Now I cant get rid of "An error has occured while updating the device software use emergency........" screen.... Now what.
