Just BEFORE YOU TRY ANYTHING, make sure that you do in fact own a Galaxy S 4G.
To make sure, take out your phone's battery after powering down and make sure that you have one of these two phone models (either one is fine):
SGH-T959V
SGH-T959W

You messaged me about the IMEI, please keep the relevant information here.
There was one forum user who claimed he was able to edit IMEI numbers for this phone but that was a long while ago.
I just hope you made a backup of your nv_data file before you tried to edit it as that's the only way to make sure you can restore it.

what recovery you use? TWRP CWM (blue) or CWM (red)
What rom U Flash?
Did you try to wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, and flash rom and boot successfully?
Did you try to one click back to stock and install kernel and rom?

Do not attempt to recover a backup

I think I may have bricked my A2. All I did was backup my current data, and then restore it as a test to make sure everything was working. Now on boot it hangs at the motorola logo... Any ideas?

Uh oh, my only suggestion is to maybe clear the cache and do a factory reset?
Ya I've tried both of those..

Wait untill the SBF file is made. Or just take it into to AT&T say its just rebooting they won't know and get a new one.
What if they know I rooted it? Would they be able to tell? Also I noticed my backups do not include a boot.img... perhaps this is the issue?

Im saying AT&T will have no clue you rooted it, therefore they should just give you a new one. Say I shut it off turned it back on and it just keeps rebooting.
---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------
You could always have someone create you a backup and send it to you. You would lose apps but who cares. Just a thought.
if you could create a backup, I could flash it via fastboot and it may work...
Yeah Jimmy just take it back to AT&T.... They will have no clue you rooted it. I can't tell you how many times I have taken back a soft bricked phone to AT&T... just say it hung and started to reboot automatically.
Jim
I probably shouldn't have tried to use a different backup to restore then... Cause now when I boot it takes me to the fastboot screen.. ugh
so can we fastboot images on? if so, just pull the system.img from your cwm backup and fastboot wipe, then flash the system image
the motorola fasboot doesn't seem to let me wipe the system before writing...
maybe something like this would work:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...70-r3l3as3droot-43v3r-root-bionic-v2-1-a.html
Try to get it back to the stage where it just reboots then take it back. Easiest way.
If I could, I would. When I try to erase system through fastboot it says INFO Command restricted.
Man I don't know what to say, every time I soft bricked my Droid X I just SBF'ed but nothing like that is out yet?
you need to really crash that thing man then take it back to att and say you pluged it in last night and when you woke up it was off you turned it on and this is what happenes when i turn it on they will think its a usb charg issue or something thats been my experiance so far

Use root explorer. Navigate to the internal or external memory and go to clockworkmod and backup.

Question guys, if I bought the atrix 2 at best buy can I return this phone to AT&T if this happens to me? Also do you need to buy the warranty for the phone to return it for software repairs after 30 days? Thanks all! I've never bricked or destroyed a cell phone. My wife does but not I, thanks!

did you clear the caches and format factory restore, then flash? are you able to get into recovery again? Not sure if that would be the correct way or not, but just wondering what steps you did.

hi thanks for reply i can only able to go to download mode i can not format the phone i can not able to go to format option when i press volume down camera button it show format mode for 1 second then goes of then come up samsung logo,i can go to download mode is there any other file i can try ?
ok, so did you use the Windows Phone 7 usb image downloader? Also the thing you are trying to flash, what all files did you choose or was it just one file. Im just trying to better understand. I think since you can get into download mode that you are still ok. Also it sounds like you are trying to flash back to stock att?
Also there should be 4 files that you are flashing with the program from my understanding. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642126
At that link i posted at the very bottom has a poster by the name of hackarchive and he has a link to his skydrive account that has a video tutorial. you have to left click on the video to get it to download. I hope this helps and keep us updated

Hi i flash with 4 file what video show i download from the link who made this video it can flash fine but just stuck on Samsung logo
I may just be talking crazy, but i think i read or seen in the video where it says that you do it 2 times. back to back. Like after you flash it, then go and select the exact same files again. kinda like in the video. Dont close the program just yet after flashing, go through each of those 4 and select the same files again and flash. not sure if you disconnect the phone tho, i would try it both ways. I think thats why that video was made to show that you reselet the SAME files again, instead of hitting flash 2 times without selecting. sorry it took me a while to respond back
Hey pls help, i have the same issues, followed the forum, the post and the guide but still i couldn't get the phone to boot... pls help me... any news ideas... Thanks...

What gapps did you use? Sounds like a compatibility issue. Use the one from the Blaze Bible. After you flash the zip, factory reset. That should solve your problem. Still stuck? Boot cwm fix permissions, reboot. Last resort, start over from scratch and read very carefully each step....
If it helped hit thx
Same thing
I am having the same issue. It was after I installed cwm. the next step was to reboot into recovery mode, but I can't find anywhere that tells me to do it manually. I have also tried via ADB w/o success. I have tried various USB drivers in download mode and regular mode.
Any idea how to get into cwm and push .zips via USB from this state? Or, if I could install gapps from Odin, but I can't find a .tar for gapps.

Must be rooted for this method.
Download terminal emulator from play store. Open and type su press enter. Then type reboot recovery and press enter.

Off topic.. I remember when I was all noobish hahaha. This post makes me looks stupid lol..
Wipe data/factory reset. from the stock recovery only works if you're on ics.
have you tried installing/ reinstalling the right gaaps?
Just clear cache and Dalvik.
Worst Case Scenario!
Hm, if none of the above comments help you try this:
Flash back to Official Stock GB using this thread.
(I know this thread has NOTHING to do with your problem, but it has a link to Stock GB AND a guide on how to flash it.)
After you flashed that, root your phone using this thread
Be careful and READ EVERYTHING before following either of those two threads, you could potentially end up destroying your device, if you do you'll have no one to yell at but yourself!
same problem here. haven't successfully fixed my friend's device. HELP!!

is this suppose to happen?
HELP!
I am having the same problem here. I was trying to root my friend's phone using the link with the odin and then install the newest CM (which btw is JUST AWESOME). On download mode, I'm seeing like 10 counts and custom binary. I also tried odin with this T769UVLB7_T769TMBLB7_TMB that I found in another post.
I erased everything in the 1.4 gb rom, I've tried it all for hours. I saw this post and somebody else with the same problem but it looks like they couldn't solve it. I don't think it's a driver issue because the roms get flashed but the problems occur on the welcome start page. Then all the processes and services start stopping unexpectedly and I can't go any further. please somebody help!!!
Also installed Samsung Kies to see if it could change the firmware or fix it or anything. That's what I used to erase everything on the ROM (because I thought that could be the issue). But no, kies says my firmware can't be recognized or sth like that.
I have flashed on my own blaze thousands of ROMS form xda, but this is the first time I see something like this.

[Q] Root and upgrade help

I've been scouring over this website (SO much great information!), but am overwhelmed. I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind as to give me sort of the idiot's guide to root/rom my phone.
I have the straight talk galaxy SCH-S968C. It is running 4.1.2, is there anyway that I can get this to update to 4.4? After my research I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to root it (haven't done this yet, because I'm a little terrified).
Then is it possible to some how update it to 4.4. If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thanks for any help. I really do appreciate it!
I bit the bullet and rooted the phone. Wow could that have been any easier?!
I guess now what do I do?
Thank you so much for any help!

Unsure about the straight talk version of the S3 and I'm not even sure what version it's currently on. I know the VZW S3 ended up being on 4.4.2 but the ST version may of been different

Thanks! That wasn't the thread I was following to figure out how to upgrade, I had read that previously but didn't realize it had derailed to roms. I'm still making my way through it (only on page 33). I'm wondering is there a newb guide to this, like a Dummies Guide To Flashing Roms? I'm a somewhat technical person, but I've never worked on phones before. I'm stuck at this 4.1.2 version, and I would REALLY love to be at anything other than this. I just am beyond terrified of bricking my phone.
I have my phone rooted. I took a backup, I have terminal emulater, EZ - recovery, Clockwordl Mod, and superuser installed. I downloaded google apps (gapps-kk-20140105-signed) and cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte. I'm just unsure of my next steps. I just want re-assurance before I continue, I really don't want to brick my phone. Thanks again!

if you are rooted, have custom recovery installed and made your backup of your stock firmware in recovery(MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS SO YOU DONT HAVE PROBLEMS) , then all you have to do is put your CM ROM and your Gapps on your extsd card where you can find it, if you put it in a folder then remember which folder it is so you can find it, when you have it there then make sure your battery is fully charged, when its charged then boot to recovery, in recovery select install zip, then select install zip from sd card, then find your ROM and select it, then yes-install zip, it will then flash your ROM, whe its done do the same to flash your Gapps, when its done go back to main menu in recovery and select wipe data/factory rest, when its done select wipe cache, when done select advanced, then select wipe dalvik cache, when done go back to main menu and select reboot, let it load, it will be slow at first because it has to load everything you just flashed, just give it a minute, if it takes to long then just power it down and reboot, when it does boot you'll have to do your setup wiz like you did whe you first got the phone, finish setup, ENJOY your new ROM.
**now that you have custom recovery then anytime you find a rom for your phone that you want to try all you have to do is download your ROM and Gapps, place them on extsd like I instructed, then boot recovery and repeat what you just did but remember to make a backup of what you are running at the time BEFORE you flash the new, that way if you have problems with the new or if it won't boot then all you gotta do is boot to recovery select restore then restore the backup you nade and you'll be good again, I told you this just in case you have problems in future or want a new ROM. Good luck!

the rom you will be using will need to be worked with our simple fixes, make sure you have a dead sim, you might try the d2lte ROMs if you can deal with 3rd party apps instead of stock, just follow what the guys are doing in the thread

by the way, I didn't send you to the thread for the ROMs themselves I sent you there to pick through the members posts about what was working, what wasn't and how to straighten the issues out so you could decide which ROM you were comfortable with.

if you are still unsure then the thread where you got your ROM should have a walthrough in the Original Post, all threads with ROMS should have walkthroughs with the links for your resources.

**now that you have custom recovery then anytime you find a rom for your phone that you want to try all you have to do is download your ROM and Gapps, place them on extsd like I instructed, then boot recovery and repeat what you just did but remember to make a backup of what you are running at the time BEFORE you flash the new, that way if you have problems with the new or if it won't boot then all you gotta do is boot to recovery select restore then restore the backup you nade and you'll be good again, I told you this just in case you have problems in future or want a new ROM. Good luck!

the rom you will be using will need to be worked with our simple fixes, make sure you have a dead sim, you might try the d2lte ROMs if you can deal with 3rd party apps instead of stock, just follow what the guys are doing in the thread

by the way, I didn't send you to the thread for the ROMs themselves I sent you there to pick through the members posts about what was working, what wasn't and how to straighten the issues out so you could decide which ROM you were comfortable with

if you are still unsure then the thread where you got your ROM should have a walthrough in the Original Post, all threads with ROMS should have walkthroughs with the links for your resources.

Thanks. I haven't had a chance try to put the rom on yet. I was working on this in early october and hadn't recieved any response back (that's why the rom and gapps are probably old - I'm assuming I'll need newer versions). I saw that there was a newer gapps in that thread posted. So thanks for that. Again I was not following that one earlier. I had read it but that was when I was trying to root not upgrade. I'll need to go through that thread again to see what roms people are using. I'm okay with using 3rd party apps (as long as everything works). And I need to find myself an old sim card. I think I've got an old phone laying around somewhere.
To the bolded, no there was no walk through (at least that I saw). It was chunks here and there but nothing really step by step. I know I'm a newb, but I'm pretty technical person I just like having instructions before I do things (unless I had a phone that i didn't care about wrecking!).
Thanks again for the help. I'm still nervous about doing this though!
@MrsELF you are rooted and have recovery so the hard and risky part is over, all you need now is your rom and gapps then put them on extsd like I said, then I literaly gave the instructions step by step word for word leaving nothing out or skipping anything, would you like me to give you a link for detailed instructions of what your recovery is, the funtions and features it has and how they are used? Do you want me to find you a tutorial on flashing a rom? Honestly, you are passed the dangerous part so relax. Your risk comes involved if you have a problem in the process before you get recovery installed, you have recovery so you have nothing to worry about now because you have your nandroid backup so even on the off chance that you have a problem your backup ccan be easily restored and you will be fine, that's why its called "RECOVERY" its a safety net, so even if you flash the wrong thing don't panic, its very simple, boot to recovery and restore your backup and threat eliminated. The CM11 and the CM12 are good roms but the CM12 is still buggy but getting better, CM11 2/17 nightly (I think) is stable with the third party apps. I think we are close to getting the stock MMS working, but we are still missing something, anyway, all the d2lte roms are supposed to be fine with the apps and sim, you can actually download as many as you like and try each one, flash one then test drive it, if you don't like it select another and flash it, test drive it and so on till you find the one you like, reading isn't going to find it for you, you'll just have to see how they each "feel".Actually your rom might work as it is because the older d2vzw roms work fine, the problem didn't start til the d2lte roms because that's when they merged all the builds for all the different S3s into one, that's why we have bugs because the devices are not all the same, if you'd like you can get on another device so we can comm back and forth through your flashing. You really do have no reason to be nervous now.

Rom manager makes it easier to find and download roms for your device because it will only give you a list of roms that work for your device so you don't have to pick through the crowd of other ROMs for other devices.

I truly appreciate the help! I just need to find the rom that I know want to use. You say the riskiest part is over.... Well that happened to be the EASIEST part! It seriuosly took like two seconds to root the phone. I just am nervous that I'm not finding the "correct" rom for my phone. And it's like I need to find a half an hour of my time to attempt to do this once i find an old sim card.
Random question for you, I read in that thread you linked, that you haven't rooted/flashed your phone. Is there a reason why?
my pc is fritzed, everything else I have is rooted and tweaked out to the max not just custom flashed, I'm getting impatient though, I'm ready to get on a ROM and do some tests and work some bugs out, why? I would also love to get my hands on the stock firmware for my device first because I have the H2 device and since there is no root for H2 without downgrading to H1, if I downgrade I will lose the stock H2 with no way to get it back, ill be on H1, it would be nice to have the H2 stuff to work with because it has upgrades over the H1, modem and things like that plus my device has 2Gb RAM where yours has 1Gb

if you would like to ask the other guys questions that are actually on the roms then you can type thier name in with a mention and they will get a notification telling them that you mentioned them and they'll check and they'll probably be more than glad to answer you, you do that by adding the @ to their name like this: @MrsELF, give it a try if you'd like to ask one of them wgat they are running, you can be sure that they are running the best and easiest choice, so you might want what they have

you actual flashing will only take like five minutes maybe ten, it will take you longer to get your download than it will to flash, once you boot to recovery it only takes a minute or two to flash each zip so its not a long process
Sent from my SCH-S968C using Tapatalk
@N_psycho_PD_uh? Thanks for the help. I think I'll stick with the ones i've got downloaded then, and use the third party apps. Until the newer ones become more stable. Do you happen to know with the ROM I've got downloaded if I need the extra sd card? Just wondering because if I don't then I can try doing this shortly.
Also it's been awhile since I've looked at all this, so I was just making sure I had everything on my phone that i needed and the unbrick image. I ran this dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Unbrick.img bs=4096 count=50000 to make a backup (from terminal emulator). Where on earth did the unbrick.img go? I can't seem to find it anywhere on my sdcard. But it actually looked like it did run the command. I'm slightly confused.

rooting and recovery on your device just happens to be easy, don't be fooled its not so easy on a lot of devices, you just got lucky and got an easy one, actually this device can be rooted, recovery and rommed all without using a pc even once, therez an app called towelroot that is just a 1 click and its rooted, EZ recovery is a 1 click for recovery and ROM Manager is an app that lets you find a ROM, download it and boot straight from ROM Manager into recovery without having to use the buttons to boot there then it flashes whst you selected, easy as pie, plus no risk because the apps won't dont even make it possible to choose or do wrong, just a few clicks and a few minutes and your full custom all without touching a pc but I'm not so fortunate because I have the H2

One last thing
@N_psycho_PD_uh? A couple of questions:
1. I ran this to get the unbrick image (this is the backup that I would need to restore it right?) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/Unbrick.img bs=4096 count=50000
Or is there a different backup I need to take? I saw on some other video or someplace, that if you boot into recovery mode, you can take a backup from there. I don't see that option.
2. When I go into recovery mode, it doesn't look like the video I watched or what you described. I would think i should see a "install from zip" option but there isn't. Here is what I have:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage - I'm assuming I'd pick this one, and when I do I can then navigate to the place where I have my ROM stored.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache.
Sorry for the dumb questions and hand holding
ETA: I have ROM Manager installed, but I don't think i actually have clockwork mod installed.... Looks like I need to figure out how to install that.
ETA: I know how to install it, but I have to figure out what phone model to use.

I gotta give it to ya, you're being thorough and doing your reasearch and not only looking to flash but also preparing solutions for any problems you may have and how to get it back, that's good, that's what I did when I did the research for this device, there are three completely different versions of the sch-s968c and the differences matter when flashing, H1 is fine but with the H2 there is one with a qcom chipset and one with a Exynos chipset and that matters, so I gathered all my pieces before going any further, the only thing you don't have that I do are the camera files from the thread and the modem file, those are tricky to use but I think you can handle it, btw there is a link in the thread that takes you to detailed unbrick instructions.

One last thing @N_psycho_PD_uh? I started searching for adb reboot nvdata backup. I can't find much about it. What exactly does this do? How do I restore if I need it? Where is the file stored? I was able to get CWM installed, and i took a backup from the recovery mode. Should I still backup the IMEI? I'm assuming so, but just figured that the backup I took from the recovery should be fine if I need to restore, right?

Like I said I work in a tech field, I've had to restore in the past (not phones but other systems), and not having the proper backups make restoring a nightmare. So I have found (from past experience) it is SO much easier to be prepared for the worst to happen, and be happy when you don't need to use those files
Thanks again for all your help and guidance I really do appreciate it.

Try first to install TWRP recovery instead of Samsung recovery using odin with the phone in the downloading mod
Then wipe every thing using Twrp
Then flash that rom using twrp
I installed twrp 3.0.3-0 and i still can't wipe anything, unable to mount data,storage and cache,tried changing the data partition type to vfat but no matter what I try it all ends with unable to mount data, storage and cache

I'm beginning to think this is hardware related, I've already flashed four different firewares including the one you told me to use and the phone boots up rite back to the same error!!! I'm kinda sceptical though because the Odin flashing always goes well, everything loads until Odin says pass.

Hey thanks for the input guys, this phone got wet and when it was dried and turned on again this is the state its started in. I took out the logic board and checked for any damage from the water (corrosion) and its all clean, I even sprayed it with WD (water displacement), allowed it to drain and then heated it with the heat gun which vaporized the WD. I flashed with the pit file and all goes well, but it just reboots back to same errors. Fellas feel free to msg me on WhatsApp +5926792003 anytime. I'm just happy to know there is a place I can ask for help and get it! Here in Guyana the few phone techs I've talk to don't seem to be this in depth with some of the stuff I've learned from here, all these Guyanese tell me to do is change the board but I'd rather be sure that its beyond repair before I invest my hard earned money which is not easy to come by. The cost of the board is around 23000 Guyana dollars, which would be about 105 USD.
I forgot to mention, when I flashed twrp, in the advance wipe option, when I choose repair, I can see an actual size on the system and cache partition, but all other partitions show 0mb.

Bro don't ever flash the pit. Go to www.sammobile.com and download the J700TUVU2APK6 firmware. Extract the zip on your PC and open Odin. Now go to Options (2nd tab) and unclick auto reboot. Click bootloader update, Nanderase all and reset time. Put the tar in the AP slot and flash it. When it completes flashing pull your battery. Boot into recovery holding the right buttons and let the phone erase and update the system. When it finishes it should boot into recovery by itself, if it doesn't pull your battery and boot into recovery again. Then let the phone boot and you're good to go. When you root this time and install TWRP make sure OEM unlock and USB debugging are ticked in developer options this time.

Bro don't ever flash the pit. Go to www.sammobile.com and download the J700TUVU2APK6 firmware. Extract the zip on your PC and open Odin. Now go to Options (2nd tab) and unclick auto reboot. Click bootloader update, Nanderase all and reset time. Put the tar in the AP slot and flash it. When it completes flashing pull your battery. Boot into recovery holding the right buttons and let the phone erase and update the system. When it finishes it should boot into recovery by itself, if it doesn't pull your battery and boot into recovery again. Then let the phone boot and you're good to go. When you root this time and install TWRP make sure OEM unlock and USB debugging are ticked in developer options this time.

Please don't make statements when you're not sure what it is your advising.
Flashing the firmware hasn't worked as already posted.
The device is beyond simply flashing the firmware. It is fine to flash the PIT file with the state the device is already in.
@JrTech
It seems your partitions are damaged. There is hope if the system partition can be mounted which means the EMMC isn't totally dead.
Boot to TWRP and save the recovery log. Post the recovery.log file here (not the output).

I was just checking on the firmware he advised to download and wondering how would this be compatible with my j700h, because this is a T-Mobile update

Exactly, it's the wrong firmware.
Did you ensure to check Re-partition when flashing?

Yes I did, and I do think when I add the pit file Odin automatically checks re-partition, I checked to make sure and it is set to re-partition, all with the same result as before.
Hey ashyx I'm out running an errand, but I'll post the log as soon as I get back in. Thanks for your help and patience bro!

No rush, I'm at work for the next few hours, so won't be able to examine the log until then.
