I'm sorry about this post. Because I have less than 10 posts the forum won't let me post in a development forum so I have to post here.
I'm really new at this so please bear with me.
Earlier tonight I rooted my Galaxy S ii with SuperOneClick and installed clockwork and tried to put the cyanogen equivalent of ICS on it... Boot loop. So my friend told me if I flashed litening 6.1 on to it it would fix it.... The boot loop continues. I read the sticky on boot loops and got up to the point where it said to install a stock rom. I went looking for a stock rom and I can't find one with a letter code for canada. I'm scared that if I download the wrong stock rom for the wrong country that I a) won't be able to use my phone or b) everything will be in polish or something. Obviously I'm stuck in a loop so I can't do *#1234# to figure out what I need to do.
Also, I was looking at 3 file installs and in odin I see Bootloader, PDA, CSC and PHONE but nothing about a modem. I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I looked in the wiki and everywhere and I don't know which one of these fields I'm supposed to enter the modem file in. I have both Odin 1.85 and 4.03 on my computer and neither have anywhere that says "modem"
I feel so dumb... Sorry.
I have a GT-i9100M with Bell mobility.
EDIT: I managed to flash Litening 6.1 on to the phone... Can someone let me know of a good Ice Cream Sandwich lookalike?

Hi,
Apologies first, if the question has been answered, I have tried my best. I am not familiar with all these Jargon so may be I was not able to find the exact match.
I got this At&T Infuse from US as a gift. Got it unlocked from a shop. It shows it has Froyo.UCKE3 (2.2.1) in phone settings. I want to install gingerbread 2.3.6.
So I downloaded ROM I997UCKK3 from XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751). I hope ROM means the actual OS and this is what I need to install gingerbread!!! Got the instructions from another site as well i.e. http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/11/at-samsung-infuse-4g-i997-android-236.html which were simple enough so thought I will try them.
The Problem I am facing is that when I unzip the ROM File, there is only one file with the name I997UCKK3-Homebinary.tat.md5. I am not sure where to put it in odin as the the instructions talk about several files being in PIT, PHONE, PDA, CSC etc.
Appreciate your help!!

With ph in download mode, load the tar.md5 into the pda slot of Odin. Click start. If it doesn't finish for some reson, repeat all steps.

Thank you so much.. Whole thing worked like a charm.
Just one question for my education though... What is the relationship of various GUI w.r.t. OS? Do I get various GUI because of the OS or something else.. I had been reading about the wintouch for samsung and HTC sense for HTC phones etc.. and then on icecream sandwitch saw whole different UI, like rolling pin kind of thing for unlocking phone etc... Hope I am clear enough... Sorry if seems a nonsense question.
Best Regards,

Reflash CM7 through Clockworkmod. If it continues to boot loop, do a factory reset through clockworkmod.
Hi thank you very much for answering. I managed to restart it by flashing a new rom downloaded online, a Froyo 2.2. As I am a little idiot if I write down infos about my firmware would you gently link me to a guide or tell me what should I do to upgrade in order do not do any mistake again? Anyway phone is from At&T but I'd like to unlock operator in order tu use my Italian sim.(before i screwed it up it was unlocked, as i bought it USED from ebay.)
Anyway these are the infos:
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband version I897UCJI6
Kernel version [email protected] #1
Build number:Froyo.UCJI6.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Hope to hear from you
PS: I used this to restore it I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears.exe and ODIN, if this has any importance!
It should be posted in the OP or there should be a link to sufficient installation instructions in the OP of whatever Rom you would like to flash.
And no need to start a thread in the General and same exact thread in Q & A.
NO need to double post.
Thread closed
I understand this is a plea for help, but do not crosspost. Continue this discussion properly placed post in Q&A.
Hi all
Im a newbie (and a noob by the looks of it)
Based in the UK and own a S2 which has 02 firmware but is unlocked
Connected to Kies last night to update to ICS
They go and brick my phone
My question?
How do I get my S2 back up and running?
At this point I dont really mind what it is running but would prefer ICS
I have ODIN Downloded but I am not sure how to get the ROMS/Firmware
Unzip/Zip the file
And how to get it on my phone
It currently goes into the boot mode when you hold Vol Down/Power & Home key
When powered on it comes up with load emergency jargon and connect to Kies which I have done numerous times to no avail
Any help would be appreciated ;-)
Rooted?
Is the phone rooted? I've never used odin. I have used Heimdall, which is pretty much the same.
Its not rooted
Just want to get it up and running asap
Any suggestions
Here's links for branded and unbranded official firmwares.
Unbranded firmware
Branded firmware
Those threads very clearly explain what you need to do to flash official firmware using Odin. Once you've done that you should be up and running again and can take it from there.
Thanks ever so much
I have a hour free now so wish me luck ;-)
Will report back and let you know how things went
OK Rather confused
All of the info is posted as you have stated but which one do I need to do?
Their are so many their and I dont get this whole root thing!?Do I need to root first?
Or do I not root as their is no need?
No root required to flash the stock firmware.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA
I've gotten my GT-I9100 bricked.
Had successfully flashed Resurrection Remix ICS v2.1 ROM along with SiyahKernel v3.3.1. Everything was working fine until some suicidal impulse gripped me to format the SD card from the settings.
The phone did so, 'said restarting device', and then only the Galaxy S2 logo would appear followed by a back screen; which would flicker now and then.
It refuses to load into recovery mode; I have yet to administer the jig.
Any suggestions on how I might be able to get the phone to boot into recovery mode would be extremely appreciated.
Thanking you for your time.
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

This section is not for the Vibrant.
Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=708
I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
Hello,
Totally new to this Forum, and to the idea of rooting/unlocking phones at home. Hopefully someone can help or provide guidance. I'm sorry, I'm sure this answer comes up somewhere on here, but I have not searched.
Here is my predicament.
I got a new phone, and was going to try to root/unlock my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i9000M) for my GF's daughter.
So...I downloaded Odin 1.3 and ran the instructions as I found them on another site. They supplied the link to a *.tar file that would root the phone. After I ran that, the phone would power on...but not pass the Splash screen. When it boots the i9000M turns to i9000 and the lights on the front of the phone flash..and it stays on that screen.
I downloaded a different version of Odin (1.85), a new tar (CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1) and pit (s1_odin_20100512) files. I've run all of those...and now the phone will not power at all. If I run into Download mode...it works.
Thoughts?
Is this phone able to be saved...or should I just take it with me to hockey tonight and practice shooting with it.
I got it all to work...after much reading and searching, I found the original Stock ROMS to bring me back to factory, then properly flashed and unlocked, got the SIM to work and even figured out how to set up the APN for internet access via the phone service....initially I only had it working on wifi.
A new question. Is an unlocked i900M (Bell) the same as any other i9000? I want to upgrade her past Froyo 2.2, because her app/game selection is rather limited. Everything I am finding references i9000...and doesn't say with it is a Gingerbread upgrade for a stock phone, or unlocked phone.
I apologize if these are noob questions, but I've never done this before.
Any help.guidance would be appreciated.
Matt
