Software and everything?

Everything will be as if you just picked up your phone, provided you did not delete apps via terminal, or titanium. However this would have required root.

I did delete.
What are my options ?

best thing to do is flash the KB5 stock rom. then go in and make sure everything is back to normal.

If you're returning your phone, they won't really care how it is.
Yep software and everything will be gone. Stock, stock apps. everything back to how you got it originally using those methods.

Thanks!!

all bloat should be in there. I would just take a look at root, and use superoneclick to unroot, then return. Your welcome \m/

Ok, try this.
pull battery
put battery back in
hold Vol up + Vol dwn
connect USB cable
Do you hear a notification from your computer letting you know something was connected? Along with that, did your phone display the triangle and say Download?
If so, with Odin open you should see the com port light up yellow and display a com port number. If everything is good from here you should be good to go and flash. Just to make sure
The only check box in Odin that is checked is PDA, and it should be pointed to your .md5 file. If you are good there, then you can press start in Odin. Heres how you can tell that your making progress. There is a green progress bar in odin that should be moving, along with that, there is a blue progress bar on the phone that should be moving. Hopefully you can get to this point and let it complete. Once that is done the phone should reboot then bring you into recovery mode, just choose reboot device.
Hope this helps.

He's clearly not in download mode as evidenced by his attached picture.

I don't know if this will help, but here is a code that I got from a Samsung customer service rep. Enter it on the phone pad:
*2767*3855#
I don't know if this is model specific, but it worked on my Galaxy S 4g SGH-T959HABTMB

Wrong place to post this.
You need to go into download mode and use Odin to flash one of the ROM s posted here in the Dev section. Read up and use the search button. It will help you a lot.

If you downloaded the bat icon mod app by "Impaler" then it does not work for our device. I already sent him the files to update it but he is to busy.
Just do as the previous post says and you'll be back in no time.

Yes, thats correct. Although, this is an app you can download from the market. I think some people are confused when they look at what phone it works on. It does mention Galaxy S, but some mistake it for our phone.

Easiest method, Pull battery, put battery back in then
Hold Vol Up + Vol Down and plug your phone in with USB cable.

which rom should i download i have never done it ...

1.1.1 is the last version? because i installed it and it says it cannot be opened

In the development thread, there are two flavors. KB5 Deodexed which is the ROM that came with the phone, and the new KC1 Leak posted in there. Please read the threads in that section, there is alot of info that you might want to read before trying to flash.

i tried using odin i downloaded a rom and i click start with the rom and it just says succeded 0 failed 0 it won't do anything

Boot into download mode first...are you familiar with adb? If not..pull battery..put back in..hold down both volume buttons and plug in usb..then odin

Try flashing with the battery in. Recently that is the only way I have gotten it to do anything on ODIN...

Cool, you should be good then and you're only soft bricked. Once you finish downloading the stock ROM go into Odin and put the phone into download mode. Put your battery back in like JihadSquad suggested, as he is correct, and remove your sd card. Also, download the charge .pit file. Put the stock ROM file in PDA and the charge.pit in pit. Check Re-Partition and uncheck F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot and you're ready to flash. You should be good to go from there. If you have any more questions go to the Imnuts thread in Development How to Fix your phone.

[Q] Attempting to unbrick my phone HELP!!

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

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.

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.

it allows me to flash recoveries in odin but not roms although the recovers dont load just bootloop and if try to load my past beans 15 rom it says encryption failed :/

Hmm, so it flashes the CWM or TWRP successfully? At what point does it bootloop:
-once it Odin flashes and auto-reboots
or
-when you pull battery and try booting into recovery (home, power, volume up)? Are you releasing the power button once it first vibrates?
Also, I see you posted in the soft brick thread as well. Have you performed those steps?
