I have completely screwed my phone. I have rooted and ROM'ed at least 5 Android phones in the past.
This one is simply ridiculous.
I have used ODIN and had no problems. Now when I flashed my rom through CWM it just flashes a Samsung screen.
I have redone everything 10 times I am doing everything correctly.
I have tried different ROMs different kernels, same thing every time.
I am lost, and need help PLEASE!
Did you flash a pit file? Repartitioning usually does the trick.

Now that I've wiped my phone, how do I disable the voodoo lagfix without being able to do anything on the phone so I can install a ROM? This doesn't make sense to me.

Check out this thread for info on (and to get) the pit file.
I did this and now my phone will not boot up at all...
This phone is a total piece...

No, you just do not know what your doing, simple as that. Tons of people here and elsewhere have no problems. You haven't listed what roms and kernels you are trying. My guess is either using froyo rom with GB kernel or not using odin right, it's pretty easy to use but also easy to get wrong, I suggest actually taking some time to learn what to do and what everything is. It's evident you are very impatient by your constant posts in this thread and their content which implies you didn't take the proper time to research what you are doing and how it all works. With some actual useful information like rom and kernel we could probably help
I've been researching this phone and the tools for a week now, and started this process at 1PM, so no im not impatient.
This phone is a piece. It was bad when it came out and it still is crap. I've rooted, Rom'ed and modded every Android phone I've ever had with no issue. Different carriers, different manufacturer's. Never had an issue.
Now, thanks for the lecture Dad, if you have any insight as to why my phone will not boot up after flashing the pit file it would be much appreciated, if not, troll somewheres else.
Thanks!

Are you drunk? Maybe try again when you sober up?

What roms and kernals have you tried?
Are you making sure that you are using the PDA option in Odin instead of phone?
Are you using the PIT option with the right boxes checked/unchecked?
Give us a little more insight on what you have done and what you are trying to do and we will do our best to help you out.

If you have been researching this phone for weeks wouldn't you have known if it were a piece of #### before you bought it? So far I like the phone very light and reliable. Definitely needs root though the original software is terrible.

If I'm not mistaken when you use a pit file you have to Odin a new rom right after. It wipes everything off the partitions.but I've only used a pit one time so may be wrong . The first few times I flashed this phone I had problems but eventually I caught everything that usually causes a problem. And I was just like you, had been flashing evo, incredible and hero for a long time with no problem. But Samsung gave me a headache. But i was stuck in a bootloop and nothing would flash. I ran the pit then flashed a new tar file and she booted up fine
Didn't mean to quote that post. Oops
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
It was given to me by my job. I didn't have a choice if I wanted my bill paid for every month.
Ok, so I have tried:
0808_charge_overclock
NAMELESS_Kernel_Cleanup_Script
ROMS i have tried:
Altered BeastAlpha 5
Eclipse_TW4_v1.1
humble50_rc2
At this point it will not charge or boot up into anything so I'm not sure if it's even recoverable right now....where should I even start?

Well since u partitioned with the pit. Ur phone is sitting there with nothing on it. No rom, no kernel,recovery etc. So i know humble 5 wont work cuz it doesn't include a kernel. Humble 4 will however work. It includes a kernel and a recovery .have u did everything in the "Hoe to fix your phone "thread on top of development section?

I've had problems at times getting my phone into download mode. Just gonna toss some stuff out there as I'm sure there are people that know more than me. Is there anyway you can have a charged or extra battery charged? I would hmm uninstall the samsung drivers etc..or atleast re install so your phone is recognized when you plug it in the usb. So you can get your phone into download mode and Odin doesnt see it? Have you followed the directions in the stickys on the Dev page to a T? Im sure you have tried all usb ports,different cable, hell different computer. If you still can't get it back up as many have posted they haven't seen to many totally bricked phones I would love to have something to just play around with. If you dont have insurance and cant get it exchanged let me know. Pretty sure though more people will chime in and get things working though.
I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket
Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

Got it! Working on downloading the .tar file from sammobile right now.
You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

I was doing a stock restore on my phone (manually with fastboot as I was in Ubuntu.) and erased system and userdata and recovery, then flashed system (no need to do boot on my case) and tried recovery, but it kept giving me preflash validation failure. Now I have no stock recovery?!?! This could end up being a problem at some point, so How can I get it back. It wouldn't go as part of the stock restore scrip yet. Haven't tried RSDlite.

my phone works fine. I just have no stock recovery on it, which may be a problem down the line. RSD does not try to flash recovery and it won't flash with manual fastboot, so I don't know how to get it back.
You mentioned manual "fastboot", now you are using the moto-fastboot utility, correct?
You might try both of these things, one at a time though:
1) Try and flash the device_tree.bin file with the moto-fastboot util, then try and flash them in this order - system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, radio.img, cdrom, preinstall.img, webtop (grfs.img)
2) Restore the backup that some others had to do to get going again after I think something similar.

Now if you are flashing the 2.3.5 over 2.3.6 or even ICS, you still have to replace those files the same as you would for RSDlite.

Right now it looks like the Galaxy S III will be out soon, so I might be looking into that. I will definitely NOT have another Moto phone though, after this... now if Google guts them and they actually produce a true open phone, then maybe.

I would say give it a try, but, I would have a computer ready that can run RSDlite.... My macbook pro has windblows 7 installed in bootcamp just for this purpose. Previous to this phone, I NEVER had a need to actually BOOT windblows (never had bootcamp working), I have it running in VMs on my ubuntu and my macs/hackintoshes, for other things.
YOU MUST NOT RUN RSDLITE IN VMWARE!!!! I tried and it was dismal, I had to exchange that phone it was so bad, that it would not even power on, and RSDlite said success.

Same here...was considering the HTC One X but man, the non-removable battery and lack of microSD slot are deal breakers for me since 12gb of useable space just won't cut it. So i'm holding out hope the SGS3 comes out here by July and is around the $250 price point on contract.

Emotions were running high there for a bit so I had to take a break and let things simmer down. As popular as the SGS3 is, the dev for it should be awesome...especially with guys like you owning it It will be my first high end Android device so i'm hoping it lives up to the hype
EDIT: Thanks guys, I no longer have this need. Thank you
Folks,
I'm trying to generate a root method that doesn't trip the flash counter in the download mode. If you boot in the download mode, there's a counter for how many non-stock flashes you've done. Anyone here who has rooted has likely tripped this counter and is at least at "1" if not more.
One of the devs helping me with my work has requested a partition from a non-tripped phone, but that of course would require having root. So I've created a flashable stock samsung rom with root injected. But I need help testing it.
The counter is one of those things that could get your support request denied if you ever have to take your phone in for repair.
Mind you... if the test doesn't work, the phone will have it's counter tripped... and that's all on you. I can't be held responsible. I mean, I suppose you could hate me, but it's your own fault for helping
Any takers?
Any phone can meet this requirement by flashing the reset counter package that used to be on here... I think someone linked the package and it's in the themes area. Then the flash counter will now say 'no' but it will still say custom binary. To remove this flash back to stock and update to ics via kies. Then the flash counter will say no and binary will say Samsung official. Hope that will help.
Edit: if the reset counter is no longer there I believe it's the same as the sgs2 (I think that's where the OP pulled it from when they posted it in the themes area). Or if you want I could put the copy I have on dropbox and link it here.

ahhh, ok, lemme find a place to upload my modded root injected tarball.
Mostly, I want to make sure that, if you go into download mode, it says that the counter is at 0. If it's not at 0, then this is pointless
The idea is to upgrade to the latest version through kies. Either that or do a data reset/wipe and then stop the phone from booting when it goes to reboot.
Then, boot into download mode and flash my root injected tar through odin. Once that's done, when you reboot, it should be rooted. If you then go into download mode again, the counter should still be at 0.
If this is the case, then I'll ask you to get me the contents of a partition on your phone.
For now, lemme find a place to upload my tar to. It's huge.
EDIT: Wait... just saw the other stuff... lemme try doing that. If it doesn't work for me, we'll proceed
Still need help? She really wants to root her phone.

The method for resetting in the themes & apps section works fine. Use that

No I meant you wanted some testing help with something, I dont care about resetting flash numbers just thought you said you need a virgin un rooted phone. If not Ill flash Tweaked on it. Just making sure because you said you wanted a untouched partition.

Oh, thanks, Yeah. Was just trying to generate that partition.
I have a 600M tar file you could flash with odin and wouldn't trip the counter, but it'd take 2 hours to upload, and I'd need somewhere to upload, which is near impossible at that size.
The partition flash that's in themes & apps is for the T989, so maybe there's some bad identifying information there, who knows. While it'd be nice to have an exact version for our phone, that method is good enough for me and for the dude asking me for it
Thanks though!
You could try adrive.com it allows 2gb per file, though I'm not sure on the speed side of things. Seems they have an Android app too.
Lol no worries. I've sent back three phones so far with that other flash. Worked just fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
see then, no worries... now can we let this thread die?
