[Q] Is my phone donzo? [sgh-t959w] - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I tried the hiemdall, it wouldn't give me wifi, so I followed the modem installation guide, and well anywho
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issues. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I'm litterly having an anxiety attack I payed almost $400 today for this.. I just want it to work and be rooted :'(
I've been reading through posts since 6pm eastern time, my head is so gone.

Read this:

The screen you see is an alternative download mode.

I tried that, it wont detect it. The whole reason I got into this mess is because it wasn't clear on how to install the modem =.= ..

The wifi had nothing to do with the modem, but the kernel which was explained in there. If you get the firmware screen, that is download mode and heimdall should detect it.
Try pulling the battery and putting into download mode and if the firmware screen comes, that's fine and see if heimdall detects it.

The whole reason you are in this mess is because you jumped in, didn't read fully and tried messing with a phone that was only a few hours old. Many people have used my guide and other guides on here with no or little problems and 99% of the time, they can be fixed.

I LOVE YOU ALL I BLEEPING LOVE YOU <33333 now how do I get wifi and root to work ...?

Okay so I'm at the rom installation, and I'm unsure of what ROM to install...

Let's start with what android version you are on and want to be on. (Froyo, GB, ICS or JB)

Or maybe read the thread to find out.

Honestly, I would love JB I'm currently running 2.3.6, though in all honesty I just want something funky and reliable =p.
You may address me now as Sir Noob, the thousandth's.

How would this ROM work out?

I wish everyone would just get a usb jig.
@Lesorin: I would think any SGH-T959V rom would work fine, as long as you make sure the rom doesn't include bootloaders. (am I right getochkn?)
And most roms don't come with bootloaders, because we all got burnt by KF1. Yea, old school

Can a mod lock this thread? I think this is about all the info I need . I'm gonna go about thanking every post in here <3

Can you still transfer stuff over Odin, or is your computer not picking it up at all?
Also, are you using Desktops or Laptops to Odin?
This thread is epic. I would've reported it if there was a report button :-(

You're screwed. Seriously if you have a SGH-T959W there is no supported help. We dont have any once clicks to fix your phone.

There is no slim ics for this phone yet so you flashed something for another phone....on that note just one click back to stock without flashing bootloaders and you'll hopefully be fine.

But not your exact phone model (SGH-T959W). Read a little more carefully next time. Though you might get flamed if you ask a question about it, it's better than bricking your phone. Next time try to make sure it IS for your phone before you flash.

You can use bhundven's One-Click. There is a guide for it in the second link of my signature. Don't flash bootloaders as eollie said...

This will probably be moved or you may want to post this in the help section. But while im here. You able to get to bootloader? Or download mode? From power off hold all three down. Power home and volume down. You should xome to a triangle. From there you should be able to get to recovery. If not save battery and get to a computer and xda the odin 3.07 .zip and drivers also the file will be there as well. You should be ok. I dont want you to freak out as it is kindof hard to really brick. But possible . So. Head over and follow the simple steps. I got in a hurry once and flashed the wrong zip and blacked out. I powered off via battery pull held three buttons and volume up I believe. Then I got back into recovery via reboot.
Edit. I then wiped everything. System too and reflashed backup

Yeah I told him matter of time as its my first line in my post. In the meantime if I see someone needing help should I just tell them nothing more than move post to proper threads or?

Please, please, please! Read the stickies in each of this forums subsections. There you will find all the answers.
I make it a rule for myself to always read the stickies when i come to a new forum.
Of course this won't make you a developer but at least you won't be totally clueless like you are now.
Read all the stickies and you will be confident in what you are doing.
If you can't take the time to do this then you probably shouldn't be bothering with custom roms either.
Good luck.
