[Q] Attempting to unbrick my phone HELP!! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hey guys -
I'm trying to unbrick my Rogers SGH-I727R However when I tryto boot into download mode by holding the volume up/down buttons and the power button until I feel the vibration I go into ClockworkMod Recovery instead of Download mode. Then, when I try and use odin to install the stock SGH-I727 firmware Odin says this
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
What should I do? I have followed the steps on the guide on this forum several times and received this same result above.
Sorry for any retarded questions,
Thanks again

your phone isn't bricked. Boot into cwm, and connect usb to computer. Go to mounts and storage then usb, it will make the skyrocket accessible on pc. Copy over darkside script and a rom of ur choice (I recommend tpc v3 which is rogers based, I use it as well). Then flash darkside, and flash tpc right after.

vol up/down + pwr button boots into Recovery... not Download. To use Odin: boot PC and open Odin... plug USB into computer (not phone yet)... power off phone... while holding vol up/down buttons, plug other end of USB into phone... this will boot phone into download mode... COM port in Odin will turn yellow when phone is recognized... or do what icenight above ^^^^suggested.

i believe you dont hold volume up on the i727R.
i think its just volume down and plug the usb cable in

That's what I had to do.. Vol down & power on my sgh-I727R.

From what you're describing in using Odin it seems that it is losing connection (added, then removed, then added again).
Are you doing this on a laptop? If so you should try another usb port--probably the one closest to the power supply (or even if you're on a desktop pc and have another usb port to try).
I've had the same thing happen and found that it was because I wasn't using the powered usb port...
EDIT: You may also want to try re-installing the drivers before attempting and turning off anti-virus/firewall while using Odin.
And if this doesn't work mount USB and try suggestion above...

As mentioned by xcrazydx, your only option is a jtag fix. And if you mean Omega ROM, the first post in every official XDA thread says in quite clear bold letters what phone it is for, not sure how you could have missed that.

[Q] Stuck phone in CWM based recovery mode

Hi,
My phone stuck in CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.3 blue screen.
I searched alot in this forum and google, every one said to use ODIN to get back to stock,
I tried ODIN recovery to get back to stock, by my PC doesnt recognize my device (because ODIN requires device to be in download mod). So how can I fix this? Please help me.
Thanks in advacne

First... what where you doing to get it on blue cmw in the first place?
Also im not saying you are doing it wrong... and im SURE you have tried like 1000 times but lets check:
1.-pull battery out
2.-connect cable to PC and to phone
3.- while connected to PC and battery OUT press BOTH volume keys at same time
4.-while pressing both volume keys and conected to pc trough micro usb introduce the battery
Thats how you go into DL mode... if it DOESNT.... damn... you messed up your bootloader? at the VERY least you should get a:
"Phone-----!-----Computer"
sign....
Not working still? hmm get an usb jig on ebay/amazing or anyplace you like to FORCE the DL mode... still try the steps i provided before... when entering DL mode only 2 buttons nedded not 3 like on CMW recovery read the steps... then try... try.... and try.
If nothing yet:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item3cbb7b1e8c#ht_2419wt_905
or something similar... yet im 99% sure doing the correct steps should work.
And i repeat... im not saying your doing it wrong... electronic devices may fail anytime still... put the human part to work and read well the instructions and do them as said before we can blame a piece of metal/plastic xD
I really hope you can get it fixed.
Thanks for the detail steps koriotto.. I exchanged at ATT.

[Q] potentially brick or dead phone

Hi am trying to fix a infuse but the problem is that it wont go in download mode when i plug the phone it keeps rebooting in the samsung logo. i did remove batt and press the volumen keys but nothing. anyway I have the jig but when i plug it in now it keep reboting on the download mode it show for one second and reboot it wont stay. Is there hope fpr this infuse or is it dead for ever thank
Just came off a semi-hard brick...do you know what you did wrong? I accidentally flashed odin on some bad drivers and lost dl mode...you're not totally lost as long as you still have dl mode. Make sure you have the right drivers and give heimdall one click a shot...good luck
Thats the thing the owner dosen't no what he did he gave it to me so that I tried to get it working but those are the symptoms I see and I install the correct driver from the developer section. All I know it keeps rebooting on Samsung logo and if a place the jig it reboot on download mode. Thank for your help
Sent from my Skyrocket using xda premium
did you try odin too? it might pick it up...
Its REALLY hard to brick and Infuse actually, MAYBE (and im not saying thats happening but it happened to me for a while in earlier days) you are doing the download mode aka 2 button mode wrong by trying the 3 buttong mode.
Theres 2 drivers that can be used to install roms on Infuse, the heimdall drivers or the "odin" drivers
*The Odin drivers are obtained easily by Installing Samsung kies.
**The heimdall drivers are obtained by heimdall (lol)
Download mode for Odin:
-Be sure you havent installed the Heimdall Drivers as they commonly override the Odin ones.
-- ONLY If you have installed the Heimdall drivers just go into control panel, hardware and sound, devicesand printers, look for the samsung usb and revert the drivers to previous.
1.-Remove battery
2.-Connect the Infuse to PC by the usb cable WITHOUT putting back the battery or holding any buttons yet.
3.-Hold vol up and vol down.
4.- ONLY after removing the battery and having the Infuse connected to usb cable and pressing vol up and down THEN introduce battery without pressing power button or anything.
It will power alone and enter download mode.
Then open Odin and flash the stock rom or any you like.
IF you are doing it right then I apologize for being repetitive on something apparently easy and i hope someone with more expertise than me can help you man.
Good luck and i wish you the best for your problem solution.
The following has always worked for me:
1) Pull and reinsert battery
2) Hold VolUp + VolDn, DO NOT PRESS POWER
3) Insert USB cable while holding VolUp + VolDn
This should take you into download mode
Yes I had tried everything am going to post a video so see if you guys fugue it out

Have you tried using a regular USB cable? I can't see a use for a jig here.

If it keeps vibrating and rebooting, your power button is stuck. Try removing battery. If that doesn't help search for power button fix here or on google.
If you don't know how to enter recovery try power button + volume up OR power button + volume down OR power button + both volume buttons. And HOLD the combination until you see recovery. If neither works read above threads completely and if that doesn't help you then search and google or wait for someone else to reply.
Thread cleaned of off-topic and troll comments.
If you have nothing to offer, or nice to say, than I highly suggest you don't post at all.

Sometimes you have to try Odin a few times. But Unplug and go back into download mode and click the reset in Odin.
There are also a couple of return to stock set ups. If Odin isn't working try a Heimdall return to stock.
Ok OP here is the deal,
1) Do not post/start Threads in the Development sections that are non development
2) Please do not double a thread of the same subject...
3) If you find you have done the above, just hit the report button and outline what you have done, no worries if this is done...

[Q] Dead phone - how to revive

I have a stock AT&T S2 (I727) that worked fine. We're now in Costa Rica and I need it unlocked. I'm short on time and the local phone shop said they could unlock it.
They couldn't and gave it back, saying the battery was low.
Battery is recharged, but the phone will not turn on or show any signs of life. When plugged into the charger, nothing on the screen. No response to the reset button sequence.
I downloaded Odin and the S2 drivers and the phone appears, but it's in yellow. When I press the power button, Odin responds with a sound. That's it.
I have no idea what they did, but I know it sure not saving me any time!! Esp since ATT may have just given me the code....
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Kurt
Wrong forum... This forum is for i777
Anyways
Do you know how to use Odin? What is yellow? If it says COM port yellow that is a good thing, Odin sees your phone. You need it in download mode ( holding both volume up and down while phone is off and Odin on your screen plug it in to the computer, if they loaded a different ROM on it then only holding volume down might put it in download mode) then browse to your stock att ROM with Odin under PDA section and hit flash. Don't change any settings on Odin ... Only add a check mark to update boot loaders. Keep trying until you get a successful flash. After the phone AUTOMATICALLY reboots you can try the 3 button combo, get into recovery and reset to factory and reboot. Hope it helps ...

Please be careful where you post and get information from to avoid making your phone an expensive paperweight.
Moved to S2 forums

They bricked ur phone when they tried to unlock it, I almost guarantee it. You could've just purchased an unlock code off the net, but I digress. Keep trying to get the phone to go green in Odin. My guess may be the USB drivers you have installed are incorrect as well.
Yeah, the shop bricked your phone.

Argh. I looked for a 727 forum, but I didn't look for a Skyrocket forum. Sorry.
And sorry for the delay - we lost internet for a while when we got a new house (here in CR).
The shop is willing to try and fix the phone, but not sure I trust them but not sure of my abilities yet.
They said they just updated it. But that's not what they were trying to do - they were supposed to be unlocking it.
Thanks for the detailed directions.
No, I don't know Odin. Reading up a lot....
Yes, it's the COM port that is yellow.
I think I have the correct USB drivers - the computer recognizes my S3 as a I535.
So, I have KIES_HOME_I727UCMC1_I727ATTMC1_844945_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 (stock ROM I believe) downloaded. Odin shows this as the entry next to PDA.
Hard to tell the phone is in the download mode, since there's no display.
I've been delaying, but I guess it's time to try....

I mentioned the S3 because it seems to indicate the computer has the correct USB drivers.

The ucmc1 tar file in your post is for the i727. If that's the phone you have then go ahead and flash it. If you have an i535 it'll probably brick your phone, don't flash it.
So I tried flashing it. Odin says 'SetupConnection', but then nothing else happened. It didn't pass or fail.
I'm not sure what to do next - I'm afraid to interrupt the process, but nothing is happening...

if the phone has no signs of life it is hardbricked as such odin/computer wont see it, jtag is the only way to fix it
So I guess at this point it doesn't matter what I do - just unplug it or shut down Odin first....
Interesting, Odin still sees it and COM is still yellow. But I don't hear a response from Odin when I press the buttons on the phone.
Trying again.....
Pull battery, hold both volume buttons and insert USB cable from PC..... Release volume keys after about 5 sec.... Push volume - key after that try to flash with odin
