Help recovering soft brick/odin not working/not a noob

Like many times before i used the one click odin root to root my phone. This time as soon as it started, it failed. Now my phone boots straight to this screen:
Odin Mode
Product name: SGHI727
Custom Binary Download : No
Current Binary: Samsung official
cell phone pic----------------------exclamtion triangle pic---------------------computer pic
Firmware upgrade encountered
as issue. Please select
recovery mode in kies and try again.
I used odin to try and flash again, i used one click flash, and I reinstalled all my drivers, checked my usb connection and even tried a different computer. I cannot restore my phone. I was on stock ginger bread but not sure which one.
I go into download mode manually, i slect up, and i get back to the same screen as on top w no result.
Help plz. $20.00 donation to who can help me crack this...i really need it fixed, thx.

I also tried to use klies. it didnt work. computer does read the phone as the yellow shows on odin. But everytime i try to flash something it starts, then fails.

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 :-(

I love threads like this(where the answer is actually in the OP's question) reported for clean up
P.S. I, too, run into problems when trying to run "klies"

Yeah....not a noob

[Q]Trying to Install Xubuntu

I'm trying to install Xubuntu with the CD. I know that I can just click the install button on the desktop. But what trouble's me is this.

I can easily erase disk but I want to keep my Windows 7 Partition and as I'm seeing the Erase disk option erases your windows 7 partition. I select the 'Something else...' Option to see if I can make a separate partition to Dual Boot from Linux to Windows. Well I'm stuck here.
Can anyone help a fellow newbie here?

Screenies were misplaced. But the last one is the one I wanted to place inline. Where it says I got stuck.

Uh.
Re-install Windows. Don't know if there's a way to restore it, sorry - I'm a n00b with this sort of thing, too - I'd have to Google it. I have no idea if you just formatted the whole HDD or if the data is still there or not written over enough as to be able to be retrieved or what. Partitioning is something I have never had much call to do on my own.
Then go to the Ubuntu web-site and use their Windows 7 installer. It will let you pick Xubuntu when you install - and it will dual-boot and does everything automatically. That's how I did it because I'm a n00b and didn't want to screw anything up.

Your getting no help because this isn't a computer help forum this is a mobile device development forum. There is a thread in the off topic sub forum for computer help use that. Or head over to the Ubuntu help forums

[Q] Samsung_MEID_Repair.exe?

Hello,
I'm in a pickle (I think) concerning my MEID and IMEISV, they're both equaling zero.
My other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517621
There's a program out there called "Samsung MEID Repair.exe"
A link to it is located at: adbtoolkit [dot] com. The link to the page it's on is: [[[[http]]]] ://adbtoolkit [[[[dot]]]] com/misc/device/samsung/galaxys3/sch-i535/#.UnyEufk_smk
(sorry, I couldn't post an outside link)
Google couldn't find much about the tool.
Has anybody used it before, or know how it works?
Thanks,
Adrian

If you didn't backup then you don't have anything to loose.

Yeah, I didn't back those things up
Any idea on how to run the tool? in the ".rar" there's a ".exe", how/where do i even run that?

the exe is a windows executiable file i havent used windows in quite some time being a chromebook and mac owner

I'm not sure if I would run that exe. There was a topic somewhere here that can help you recover your imei. Can't locate it atm but I know it exists

I have used that particular exe file. Works like a charm. Some quick notes about it
1) you must downgrade the modem/radio on your phone to LG7 or older. K1 is the one I used, but the older, the better
2) if your ERI on your phone reads 0 you will need to use the eri repair button in the lower right hand side of the windows application.
3) when you use the eri repair it will ask you to reboot. DO NOT REBOOT until both eri and imei is fixed.
Also there is an in depth walk through by a dude on RootzWiki but I don't have the link. Its on my home computer. There's a couple of other walkthroughs out there. Just Google search Samsung GS3 IMEI repair tool

Did you format the phone on accident?

I don't normally suggest toolkits but I see u looking at wugfreshs toolkit so im guessing you are half way familiar with it. Use the flash back to stock with the soft bricked section checked. You are OK just take your time and breath and read before you really mess up your phone. You obviously are getting way ahead of yourself and doing things you don't understand. That's a great way to hard brick your brand new shiny toy.

No need to panic. It is not bricked. Just flash system recovery and boot in the fast boot mode.
Just check how to upgrade to 4.4.1 thread. They have factory image for 4.4 which you can use for flashing.

I've tried a few methods including rom manager app and no luck, it just tries booting to stock recovery.

Also I am on 4.2.2. Just got phone today and spent a good 2 hours trying before asking for help! Hopefully it's a dumb mistake on my end and is an easy fix
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

I used freegee from the play store to install twrp 2.6.3.3, works perfectly.

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?
Sent from my P9070 using Tapatalk

Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.
