If you didn't flash anything to the phone part, you might still be ok. Go here http://ge.tt/2jDX1li and download the Mesmerize files then unzip them. Using Odin again put the pit file in the pit line and the tar.md5 file in the pda line, then put your phone into download mode and push start. If all goes well, you will just be back to stock.
i cant get into download mode the regular way. the only way i have found to get into download mode is to use adb download. when i do that, my PC will not recognize the phone. i get the usual connection sound from computer but that's it. oh and thank you for the files. now just gotta get the phone to stop powering off. like i said 5 seconds max then it powers off, arghhhhhh!!!!!! oh, and also for some reason after the disastrous flash, the volume up button doesn't work. if the phone thinks its a captivate, do i have to get into download mode how the captivate does with both volume up/down? thank you millions!!

You can try the volume up/down. If it is taking adb commands and still powering off, you may have a problem. Did you flash anything to the "phone" part or just the PDA part when you were flashing the captivate files? If you did, or you can't get these files to work, the only thing I can suggest is to use the free phone replacement. Just don't offer any explanation as to what happened.
ok i guess i flashed to the phone. tried all the download modes, phone dosent react. i can get to android system recovery, is there a way to load the stock mesmerize from the file you mentioned before in recovery? as far as the phone replacement goes, are you refering to the deal us cell has if you get it in your plan, or is there some other replacement yo are referring to?

Yeah I'm referring to the deal you get with the plans, hopefully you have the replacement plan or insurance. Either one should work.
If you are getting to stock recovery, and you can still run adb commands, there may be hope. You might be able to get Clockworkmod working, then you could flash the update.zip from recovery. After that, you might be able to flash a ROM and a kernel and possibly get back to normal.
You would have to push the files to root, then for CWM, then get the update.zip file from another person that already has it if you hadn't already gotten CWM working and still had it on your sdcard. Flash it, then flash a ROM and kernel.
That's a little over my paygrade at the moment, but I think that's what you would have to do. Hopefully someone else out there can help you a little more. I really hope you get it fixed.
ok i understand what you're saying. ill give it a try and see what happens. thanks again

Did you ever get this fixed?
not yet. i could fix easy if i could figure out how to keep my phone from shutting down after connecting to usb. it lasts about 5 seconds and then powers off. when i flashed it, i only got about 23% of the way done and the phone disconnected. i guess i has some sort of error or fail safe and shuts down? if i could figure this part out, i could use odin 1.3 to put it back to stock
Try talking out battery hold down volume down and plug in usb while odin is open it will go into download mode then use the mez odin files it should work merry christmas

I don't think talking to the battery will work. They are pretty stubborn. lol... damn phones and their predictive text.
That is correct that "TAKING" the battery out and hold only down volume button then plug in to usb and have ODIN already open and running, should work and also very important that you use PDA BUTTON ONLY....even thought you used PHONE EARLIER ....THE REPLACEMENT FILES FOR STOCK ONLY GO IN PDA....Dont want to make the same mistake twice....as it may seem that phone is the area that you messed up...the fix doesn't go there...PDA ONLY WITH PIT FILE TO MAP FILE LOCATIONS.....hope your Xmas present is a fixed mesmerize....

Open Odin 1.7 on your computer and plug your USB into your PC. Now take out the battery and hold down volume keys while plugging in USB and putting battery in. Should bring you to download mode. Once in download mode download kd1 put it into PDA and go for it.
Note:it dosent have to show up in download mode to actually be in download mode. If it shows up a little yellow box means in your in download mode.
Best of Luck

I believe I have a similar issue, from Krylon's KD1 CWM, i Rezipped correctly, flashed, this this happened..
However, phone sits on Galaxy s4g boot up screen forever.. left it for 15 minutes now.
Also phone will no longer boot into CWM, looks like this may have bricked me.
Yes I did wipes, yes i followed the re-zip instructions correctly, yes I've flashed roms I know the drill.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or does this rom take forever on the first boot? 20+ minutes? doubt it...
And I cant boot back into CWM, Or stock recovery so i'm not sure how to fix this.
It literally either sits on the first Galaxy S 4g screen, or if i hold three button salute, it acts like it would normally boot into recovery, and cycles over and over with no recovery boot.
**UPDATE** Got mine fixed, odin+download mode
I got the drivers from this site and I had Odin running before I tried to put my phone into Download mode, Odin didn't not pick it up
So I got it figured out. You were right about using running Odin before hand, I just had to use a different usb cable. I brought my phone back. Thanks for all your help
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.

The ok button is the power button.
And for odin or kies, try redownloading the drivers. Then turn on odin and/or kies while keeping the phone off. Once its on, connect usb to computer and phone and go into download mode. If it doesnt work, try different usb ports. .

The power button is having no effect. I have re-installed the drivers already and klies and odin neither one are recognizing the device. actually when I plug in the USB the computer doesn't even make a noise as if something was plugged in.
The search get makes any text on the screen disappear and it only shows the android with a triangle that has a ! in the center.
Any other ideas?
Also this is a sprint phone, not t-mobile. Does that matter? I can scroll up and down between the options in recovery mode but I cant select anything. Odin still will not read the phone in recovery mode :-(
ya you are in the sgs 4g forum, but this should be an easy fix. you will need to use odin, find a rom that is for your phone and download it on pc. don't know your forum but they should have odin roms, if not then you will have to unzip the rom and flash. you will have to research how to use odin and what roms work with it. good luck

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.
