I727R Soft-bricked can't flash

Hey, complete noob but will try to give a concise post of what I've done and where I'm at now. I received an I727R second hand and I am trying to put seanzscreams Sky ICS rom on it but am constantly running in to problems. Here are some important details:
Phone: SGH-I727R
Android Version: 2.3.5 GB (stock rogers firmware)
Baseband: I727RUXKJ7
Kernel: 2.6.35.11
Unrooted
O/S: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Phone was in USB debugging mode before I bricked it
Did *#7284# and switched from Modem to PDA
Plugged in phone first time ever to PC, drivers installed OK. Installed Kies from Canadian Samsung website, did not recognize phone. Uninstalled/Reinstalled Kies after using registry cleaner; no difference, still connection error (wouldn't troubleshoot too). Uninstalled Kies. Uninstalled samsung drivers, installed standalone samsung drivers (Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1_3_2200_0.exe). Reinstalled Kies still no difference. Uninstalled Kies and standalone drivers, used registry cleaner, plugged in phone and let drivers install from Windows update.
Next I figured I wanted to root my phone so I could install CWM, and custom ROMs.
Installed android sdk for windows; made sure I had adb drivers for my phone. Tried to use adb for zergRush exploit; exploit worked but when running the command "adb remount" adb wouldn't recognize device (does the phone need to be in download mode when doing this whole process? Never was it mentioned that it needed to be). Then tried to use Skyrocket Easy Root method from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340710), plenty of errors but it resulted in my phone apparently being rooted. Tried installing ROM manager from market to then install CWM, said I had no permissions (phone isn't rooted).
Then after getting frustrated...
Tried grabbing Odin 1.8.5 and this recovery file for CWM (http://www.mediafire.com/?5xc7gjkrbwihajp) and tried to flash to phone. First attempt it got stuck at <ID:0/004> recovery.img, let it stay for about +15min, nothing. Phone bricked (Firmware upgrade encountered etc.; not able to get in to download mode). Next tried to reinstall stock rogers 2.3.5. Still nothing, hangs at <ID:0/004> SetupConnection... Tried multiple times to reboot phone and then load firmwares again, nothing. Latest error is this after trying the recovery image again <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1). Moving the phone to different USB ports on my laptop makes Odin not recognize the phone at all
I beg someone to help me unbrick this phone and to help me get the custom ICS debloated version running on it. I'm short of pulling all of my hair out from frustration
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Look at the Odin tar thread. Its a sticky in the development section. Flash the tar file to completely restore your device. And read read read

Odin is still running so I'm not sure what to do now

Sorry guys, I've just been frustrated with hitting so many problems right from the beginning after reading through numerous guides. I guess I did rush too fast in trying to upgrade it/fix it but now I face the result of it. Hopefully I can unbrick it and learn why it wouldn't flash. As for now though I feel like I'm at a dead end because Odin is still running and it seems that it won't write for whatever reason.

did you read the whole sticky, theres a troubleshooting section for odin, basically
you have a problem with
1. drivers
2. usb cable
3. usb port
go through the troubleshooting section for odin, thats why i wrote it, but if newbs arent going to read it then why the frack did i write it.

Throwing this out there.
Set time out to 10 minutes
Enable usb debugging in settings
Enable download from unknown sources

When I've have Odin trouble sometimes this helped.
1. Uninstall kies if you have it installed, it will leave the drivers.
2. Try a different version of Odin and /or a different USB port
3. Try a different PC
If all else fails pm me

I made sure all of that was checked before I bricked the phone. Phone is completely bricked, I cannot get in to download mode or even recovery mode. It goes straight to the screen with an image of the phone yellow warning triangle and computer with the text reading "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I've already had Kies uninstalled before I started to actually try flashing things to the phone. I've downloaded Odin 1.8.3 and it won't recognize the phone at all. I've tried different USB ports but I get an error from Windows saying that the USB device has malfunctioned and both Windows and Odin cannot see the phone; the only way I can get my system to see the phone again is if I reboot the phone and plug it in before the error screen shows. I'm going to be doing a little more troubleshooting before I try it out with another computer which will likely be tomorrow. Thanks for all the replies so far guys I'm gonna try tinkering with the drivers but I'm worried about my system not being able to see the phone if I do. I have no access to another cable and the cable I am using is not the OEM cable that came with the phone so the problem might be that right there.

your not bricked if u see the dl screen, your on the right track for troubleshooting, just take it slow as your phone is not dead, but go through my odin troubleshooting section in the 2nd link in my sig.
kies and adb should not be running in the background, and yes get a samsung usb cable to rule out cable issues

I think your whole problem was when you did this
"Did *#7284# and switched from Modem to pda"
Ive never had to do that with mine. Just put phone in download mode. Use odin and flash. Runnin windows 7 x64 found drivers by it self.

[Q] Bricked--need some assistance

Alright, going to post here because I have been searching for hours and still no solution that I can come up with. Hoping the experts here can help me with some information on how I can fix my phone (if possible at this point).
Verizon Galaxy Siii (originally with the Hyperdrive Rom) Tried to go to 10.2 CM:
4.1.2 (I believe)
Current status:
Soft Brick (? -i'm guessing it's a soft brick because I can still access download mode).
When I try to access recovery mode it states: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Download Mode Notifications:
Product Name: SCH-i535
Custom Binary Download : Yes (4 counts)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Qualcomm Secureboot: Enabled.
Originally tried to flash 10.2 CM but got stock on the boot up screen so tried to go back to stock.
Phone had some possible hardware/software issues with the phone's screen constantly turning on and off (also the shut down pop-up menu would pop-up); ended up mid=process having my phone shutdown while installing a rom ( i think it was late at night and i was tired )
Tried a few variations to get back to an official release for the Verizon Galaxy SIII. This is what I've been I've trying to flash via odinVRBLK3_Image_WIPE\COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5)
/ --Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time are both checked--/
When I would flash the VRBLK3....tar.md5 file via Odin, it would fail, often at different times during the installation; some within a minute, some near the end of the installation.).
Odin Results:
<ID:0/003> boot.img
<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> system.img.ext4

<ID:0/003> XmitData Fail..
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've been reading that I need to reset the custom binary download back to : No or 0 in order for me to go back to stock? Is this true? My phone is unable to full turn on so the possibility of me using Triangle Away is not possible. Is there any other way I can get my phone back to stock--going delusional and tired from searching all day--need your help. thanks in advance!

Also experiencing the same exact thing right now. Already tried Odin on 3 computers. Right now I'm reading up on heimdall and looking for files I can use with it.

A few things:
1) Are you using a good quality USB cable? Certain cheap aftermarket ones will cause ODIN fail issues. The one from Samsung that came with the phone is good.
2) Try a different USB port, specifically one connected directly to the motherboard (if you're using a tower pc hook it up to the back, on a laptop hook it up to the usb ports next to the video/audio inputs)
3) Make sure all the correct Samsung drivers are installed on to your PC, and reboot the PC after they are installed.
4) What version of ODIN are you using? v3.07 is what I use and I've never had issues

Just to add to this, if you are using a laptop it should be plugged in while doing this. Odd thing I've seen over the years is a lot of failures with ODIN on a laptop if it is not plugged in.

Stuck at Samsung boot screen and can't fix it? (Ubuntu Touch)

I installed Ubuntu Touch and as it says on their wiki page, there are known issues like device fails to boot after rebooting, and I'm stuck at this point.
When I boot i get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and when trying to turn it off by holding on the power button for 5-10seconds it turns black for a few seconds and comes right back to the samsung boot screen.
They do say how to fix this in the wiki, but I got no idea how I can get access to those files and modify them
I would have posted on their development thread, but as I don't have 10 posts, I can't do that.

try going into recovery mode and restore cwm or twrp backup which you must have made

yeah, i was thinking that, but I don't know how to? The only thing I have access to is "Download Mode", so I have been trying to find a way to install a new ROM from odin, but with no luck. I'm still a beginner to these stuff, so if you could show me a way to use twrp or cwm to install a new rom that would be great I used twrp to install Ubuntu Touch, but I needed access to Android to install twrp.
I didn't do a real backup before, but I saved all the important data online. I just want to make fresh install of Android, don't care if it's the original from Samsung or some custom rom

if you have access to DOWNLOAD MODE then
download stock rom from sammobile
unzip the file and then u will obtain md5 file
now use odin3 dont check anything in it
select pda and open the md5 fie
wait till it checks the file
go to download mode and plug via usb and flash
if you get a bootloop keep holding ppower and volume up button for recovery mode
wipe data and cache rebbot

I had Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, and the only reason I installed UK was becuase I'm from Faroe Islands, and it's not listed there, it could be the danish one, but that wasn't listed either, so I have no idea which one to choose. And this file doesn't exist anymore :/ http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=20586 so what should i try?

Hi,
Did you try to use ADB to find out whether your tablet can communicate with Odin??
Try this command:
adb devices
And reply with the output.
About the Jelly bean firmware, may be you can use other countries ( e.g. Dutch or German ) which is available for your device??
By the way, which recovery do you have and can you get into it??

First of all, do not panic.
You still have the download mode
Second, the problem is clear, your adb driver is not installed properly. Solve this and then use ODIN to flash a stock firmware for your device.
By the way what is your device?? N8010??

OK, I also have N8010
I think you did not do the steps at the right moments.
First of all we need to fix the ADB issue.
Therefore you need to do the following:
1. Put your your N8010 in download mode and start your ODIN
2.Connect the USB cable to your PC then to your tablet.
3.If the adb driver is not installed correctly, it will now.
4.Check your device manager for this.
5.If OK then
6. DO adb devices..Now you should get an output.
7.Check whether your ODIN also detects your tablet ( ID:com shows in color ).
8.Go back to Odin.
9.Flash your firmware with it.
10.If succeeded, your N8010 will come back to live
Good luck

That one which is selected gets there when connecting to the pc, and when removing the usb it gets removed, and the other that is unknown I got no idea what it is, probably just some random driver I'm missing, I installed Windows 8 myself.
Even with the "Samsung Mobile USB" driver in the device manager I get an empty list when running adb devices
I just tested running adb devices with my phone and it worked right away:
Code:
C:\Users\Jeggy>adb devices
List of devices attached
47901ea687d530a8 device
And this is while having my tablet connected

and when it said "NAND Write Start!!" it did change something on the tablet itself, I got a blue loading bar(The same one as when rooting but this time not moving) under "Do not turn off target!!" but it started at 100% and never changed

This means that your PC and tablet are connected and the ADB driver is installed correctly.
At this point you must see the comm:id field ofOIDIN changes color.
At this point you can choose your firmware and then click on start.

Are you sure you are using a total package firmware and NOT the one with 3 packages??
In the latter case you need to fill PDA, modem and CSC in ODIN

It does change color and get "0:[COM4]", and I don't know which 3 packages you are talking about, I am trying the one I got from samMobile which is a .tar.md5 file and is a 1.5GB file. I never tried CSC and don't know what it is and how to get one

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Bootloop, No Recovery

I've read more threads than I can count to find an answer to my problem, but none have fit quite right.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s3, U.S. Sprint L710. This is a secondary phone I use to test new roms and other mods. The last working rom I had was the Kitkat Carbon. I tried flashing Xenon and ended up in a continuous bootloop. I can get it into download mode, but I can't get to recovery. I've tried using Kies, uninstalled that and tried a jtag bit. Neither worked. I downloaded the latest USB driver from Samsung and Odin, but I can't install the driver because Odin doesn't detect that my Galaxy is connected to my laptop (Windows 8). The first box on Odin doesn't light up to indicate that my phone is recognized.
When I plug my phone in, Windows seems to recognize something is connected, because I get the little Windows chime. But it doesn't show up as an external device anywhere. So that's where I'm at. It goes into bootloop as far as the Samsung logo, or I can get it into download mode where it just says "Downloading" until I pull the battery. I keep looking on line hoping to find a unique way out of my predicament, but it just ends in frustration.
Am I just out of options besides sending it into Sammy for $72? Is there anything else anyone can suggest? Thank you in advance.

Try booting into ClockworkMod recovery and factory restoring from there.
Post thanky?

Thanks, but I have no way of getting to recovery. If I could, I'd know just what to do. I've tried smacking the power button side incase it was a stuck power button, but that did nothing.

You are prolly reading the wrong stuff...
- Download Odin (pc app),
- Get your Stock Rom.
- Boot your device in Download Mode;
- Open Odin; load your rom files in the correct place.
- Make sure you didnt change any checkboxes.
I.e:
"Clear EFS" must NOT be enabled. (Also keep in mind that you must backup your EFS partition before your phone loses imei).
- Flash the Rom.
- After completion (Green "Pass" message in Odin); remove USB Cable;
Now more stuff you must learn: search for CWM for your device; search how to install it; and also search how to perform a clean install.
Also Read how to backup your efs (before its too late).
Press thank button if i helped you.
This will keep me motivated to help and share my knowledge.

Thanks for all of that advice. I have CWM installed, and I have nandroid backups on my SD card. The problem is Odin doesn't seem to detect that my phone is connected. When I plug my working S3 in, it shows up in the first com 1 box, but nothing shows up when I plug my down phone in. I have it in download mode, but Odin doesn't detect it.
When I hit start and run Odin, it confirms a valid tar file, but it shows 0 successful / 0 unsuccessful tasks when it finishes. If this was a hard brick, I'd just give up, but I keep believing there must be a way to get it into CWM recovery. It's just so odd that it will go into download mode but not trigger a response from Odin.
This is as much of an interesting mission of mine as it is a desire to get my phone up and running. Thanks again!

if you able to connect to odin, the problem can be solved.
manually install different versions of drivers, different pc, and check if odin detect it.
good luck

Well this got more interesting. I downloaded Odin 1.85 on a different laptop, and I got a response. It shows it's connected with a yellow box in the first com box and in the "activity" box below. When I disconnect it, it shows that too, so that's encouraging! When I plug the USB tar file into the PDA field and hit Start, it confirms that it's a valid file and it starts to download, but then it fails. I tried it a few times, but the result is the same. There's a hint of a download bar beginning on my phone, but that's it.
At this point, I wonder if I have the right USB file. When I try to download the USB from the Samsung site, I don't get a tar file that Odin it looking for. I downloaded the one I have from one of the countless sites I checked. The USB file I'm using is 1.4 gigs. Does that sound like the right size for a stock USB file? Almost every time I click on a link for a USB file, it has me at a downloading program where it takes 5 hours to download for free or an option for a faster download if I spend money. That sounds like a scam.
If anyone has a valid link for the correct Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 USB driver, I'd really appreciate it. Any other advice? Thank you for everything so far!

Well... Original drivers and Roms...
Check on Sammobile website.
Theres something there that can help you.
You can also compare rom file sizes.
Glad you're going on the right track

Heimdall might be another alternative if you can't get ODIN working. At least my version for S2 fond the right driver automatically.

I'd like to stay on this track until I try a few more things at least. Sammobile is where I downloaded my first file from. I went back and downloaded a different one for the Galaxy S3, but it still fails. I'm pasting the information in the dialogue box from Odin.

I don't know if this will be useful information to anyone trying to help me, but there you go. The file [ALL_L710VPUCMK3_L710SPRCMK3_2034598_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5] is what I plug into the PDA field of Odin. As far as I know, I don't have to enter any other files.
Thanks!

Good Grief!! Sometimes I over-complicate and over-think things so much. I tried a different cord, and it worked like a charm! Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help. You were part of my learning process. Now I can say I successfully used Odin to salvage a soft brick! :good:

I don't think so that the problem is the PIT file. Because it fails after SetupConnection. Are you sure you are you using the original usb cable. You can try with other usb cables to confirm it.

Suggested ODIN version for GT-N7000 is 1.85 (as I linked it). Could also be related to a wrong version of ODIN.

Remove your bettery and leave it for 5 minutes. Then go again to download mode and flash with odin. Also you can try defferent usb ports and ensure that you don't use a usb hub! Finally nesure that you are running odin as admin.

Changing USB port I think, maybe in conjunction with new cable because I've tried changing ports before. Also made sure I started in admin. Odin checks the md5 checksum automatically but I'm downloading it again. Got the stock firmware off sammobile.com . Using the UK Orange version - XXLT9. I think that is the right one from memory. Can't check build setting because I'm stuck in bootloop. Pain.

Damn. Just tried again with ODIN 1.85 and it gets stuck on setup connection again. Same with v3.09.

Have you already try to flash .pit file. I recomend you don't because if odin fail to flash it your phone will f*** up. So this is your last resort. You can try different roms. You can try to use heimdall for windows to flash your firmware. Heimdall is more reliable
