[SOLVED!] Softbrick need help - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I softbricked my phone trying to flash back to stock since i just sold it to someone. My phone softbricked while flashing so i was like "No big deal ill just use heimdall one click" which did not work for me. i then used heimdall one click unbrick which didnt work. and now neither of them are detecting my phone. I tried using gremlin remover but no luck. Please help i need to ship this phone out today.
EDIT:
Used a different USB cable and it worked

You sound too eager... You used Heimdall One-Click which didn't work... so you did this... then that....
Just use Heimdall One-Click and figure out why it didn't work. What were you previously on when it say you soft bricked and what were you trying to flash to?
Great... Another pointless thread for somebody who wanted to post something then actually read.

I thought we had a couple of bricks already? This is 99.9% sure to return bricked devices to stock, and it needs to be tested on a brick.

Thanks Dlev7 . It should work...just hard to find gutsy people who made a boo-boo i guess .
yeah infuse buyers seem to be the cautious type, or the type that never modded a phone before. if i have an accident i promise to test for you, im not doing it on purpose though
If its just a stock package, why is a bricked phone required? Shouldn't any device work?

[Q] s#%rocket

I heard this special from Samsung to AT&T dismissed by one of the pillars of this community as it's conglomeration of hardware is somehow disagreeable. Hence my respect to that with the title of this thread.
I am stuck at:
ODIN MODE
Product name: SGH-I727
custom binary download: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
<picture of phone on left and yellow ! triangle middle, and on the right pic of pc
under that it says:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I am stuck there. (I unplugged during download mode) Any help for this ignorant biker who tried getting root first thing before even setting up his new phone would be appreciated.
They'll probably be able to help you more in the turdrocket forum.

So do you have the SR or the ATT SGS2 ? IF you have the sgs2 then look in the development thread for a return to stock rom. It has directions to get you back to stock firmware. I know some people accident flashed i9100 international sgs2's and they were able to get back with the return to stock.

If you have the SR you will need to go to there forums for a fix.

Thank you!
I am pleased to report it worked very well. Thank you very much for your helpful reply kornklown69.
I wonder why you smart people always assume so much and leave out details obvious to yourselves and a mystery to an ordinary biker?
If I hadn't been voraciously reading every page of as many threads as I have, spending as many hours as I can every day for weeks on end now (started with an att Infuse), I would still have been clueless.
I felt SO empowered when I realized the puzzle. The link you provided took me to the {How to][Tar][Odin] thread. Read the whole thing. Sounded promising. Got my stuff together, I'm not "rogers", check. My computer and cords have been performing flawlessly, check. Who cares about this counter and maybe I will end up getting a jig, and end up stashing it with my HDMI cord 'n stuff, check.
Hey where is the link for Odin?
STILL "where is the link to Odin" it finally dawned on me to use the Forum tool button and search for "Odin 1.85"
Bingo. A tiny little file that downloaded in no time, compared to the hour it took to download the TAR.
My elevator has been up for a long time my door just wouldn't open. Thank you for the help, and thank you for indulging, I digress.

[Q] Help me I'm new

Hello everyone this is my first time starting a thread on this forum so hello, anyways I just switched form iPhone to the Skyrocket, and am enjoying it, I switched because I wanted something to make my own and android seemed the route to go. Anyways, I just wanted some input on rooting and what the best ways to do so on a Mac. A couple months ago I rooted a EVO for a friend so I have some knowledge, but would still like some input and any tips that I could get.

Welcome to ROcket world man. I switched from iPhone too but i had i777 for like 2 weeks and than i727. You must read this once so you know what we are talking about. Its all in one noob guide. And make sure to flash t989 cwm through rom manager. Don't flash anything else unless it says it will work with i727. T-mobile SGS2 aka t989 is very similar to our phone so mostly everything there you can flash except kernel. Because with t989 kernel you will get rotation issue. Let us know if you got any question.

Super Bricked? pleasee HELP

sooo i have my Samsung Running on the MIUI ROM and i decided to switch the ROM because The battery just wouldnt last very long, i try goin on CWM and it would just get stuck on the Samsung booot up logo, also tried going on with the both volume buttons method and still, so i thought, theres no way i can flash another ROM, so i though the only way to fix this is by using GTG unbrickable software, i did everything and when its about to load up it gets stuck on these yellow letters saying something like install default APK please wait? i ran the program a couple times and still, if theres a way to fix this pleaseeeee help i need my phone

It is possible. Especially during boot loader flash. Mid screw up during Odin or heimdall may potentially cause some issue. Read some of Adam outler's post and you will understand.
Edit: most of what we see posted is really lost recovery, bad flashes or soft brick

Im Just Scared if i bricked my phone...
Am searching to unbrick my phone if i rooted it... and i found this...
1) Remove battery, sim card, and sdcard.
2) Hold down volume up + down and re-insert the battery (still holding the volume keys)
3) While still holding the volume keys, I plugged in the phone to the pc,and it went into download mode.
4) Open up odin and use the old original, rooted, KD1
but my version is KJ6 so its not compatible for unbricking this phone???
Sorry for some mistakes, im just a beginner for this android phone. and also this site.

Dude, read it, then you will know. Your question has been asked like a thousand times in this forum, so we made a sticky for noobs like you to use it. :banghead:

Super one click root is another option.
I guess it depends on what you're planning on doing. If it is just rooting, that's an easy way. It takes a few minutes.
If you're planning on changing roms, flash one/appropriate kernel with one of the one click packages in lumin's signature. It will give you root & cwm & voodoo lagfix.
Do not use rom manager from play store. It is not supported on this phone. It could brick ya.
Good luck and happy flashing.

Don't flash anything. Your in way over your head. Anyone with even the smallest tech ability could easily follow lumins guide. Bricking is a risk all of us take. Quit crying about it.
I learn the most in the hours after I brick my phone. If you are not willing to take the time to learn, and are scared to learn in a trial by fire, you really have no business trying to root your phone, especially if you are not going to follow directions, or take the time to learn what it is you are doing. You are going to brick your phone, and you are going to come here and start a hundred threads about it.....I suggest just paying someone to do it for you, or taking the time to read the instructions. Someone who knows nothing about rooting can follow that guide and learn how, that was what I did.

ahm,, that the reason why i want to root my phone, to flash my custom rom and to fix lag! thats all...
if they or you can give me lag fixer, i will stop flashing custom rom...
Ahem, why don't you go find one for yourself. There are plenty out there. Figure out which one works for you and quit asking for everything to be handed to you. Take the hint and use Google. I learned that quite quickly and you should to. It helps prevent people from ignoring you when you have a legit question.
