returning to stock from jig

hey folks,
i'll be picking up my jig tomorrow, just want to run the procedure by folks to see if things are right. i accidently used the wrong odin and flashed an att stock that has resulted in the att logo boot loop and requires a jig. i had come from miui 2.3.5, flashed the att and got pooched. so the jig will get me back to download mode.
once the phone goes in download mode, use odin 1.7 with stock rogers 2.1 rom.
the only thing i've never understood is the bootloader aspect. will this require any tinkering or are they loaded when i run the stock rogers?

Nah bootloader is fine.
Yea the jig brings you to download mode.
Yes you flash the Rogers rom

great thanks. someone mentioned a master clear? is this necessary?

When using Odin, no

so with this being stuck in an att boot loop with no 3 button recovery (due likely to att), is this called a soft brick? from what i read hard brick is when things won't turn on at all, another screen I've never seen is the pc/phone logo. not sure what mine is and how serious...still trying to track jig in toronto

Yes, u r soft bricked.
And when u do get into download mode and run odin with the rogers 2.1 -- that will give u the stock bootloaders also.
U need to use this one --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11820447
And u will need to select the pit file in this Odin and b sure that the Repartition is selected.

thanks guys much appreciated...just awaiting a jig. only have one usb and didn't want to cut that. no one in toronto will sell theirs as they'd rather repair yours for 75 bucks.....really.... once I hit d/l mode this'll be a 10 minute job if that. thanks for the help will let you know how it rolls.

You could try a USB-JIG before sending it to Samsung.

Tried USBJig? I think you have messed up your bootloader

Unsure if this will help, I have googled around and saw some sites offering help with bricked phones, over on android forum I found this http://androidforums.com/vibrant-tips-tricks/223806-guide-fixing-bricks-odin-errors.html
btw I just ordered a USBJig for issues I might face in the future. ;-) cheap on ebay or Amazone.

[Q] How do I find out which country my galaxy note is from? Please help?

Ok, I did what you said, now it just goes to 'logo_ql.jpg' draw failed. It also wont let me get back into download mode, it just goes to this message. now what?
EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?

You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Don't ever wipe using stock ICS kernel. It will hard brick your device. I think now already got affected. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium App

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Touch Screen not working after ICS update

Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead

Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks

Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.

With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.

It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!

Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help

I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

Regretfully my tab is not under warranty, and I don't know what to try next? Do you have any ideas

In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.

Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.
Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr

[Q] Exhibit stuck in loop! Looking for someone to fix it for me

Hi Guys,
I'm a noob so please send me in the right direction if I seem out of place. I have an Exhibit 4G that I managed to root. It was 2.3.6 I believe. All was great until I decided I wanted to change the operating system to a Peach Sunrise (I think) then it became stuck in a boot screen loop. I have tried resetting to factory but that doesn't help. I'm not too savvy with these phones so I'm stuck at a dead end. I'm looking for someone in the Atlanta area to fix it for me. I'm willing to pay. It was a brand new phone bought from an individual. It was only used about two week by me. Please let me know if you can help or have a relatively easy solution. Thanks in advance, Les

Is it the galaxy exhibit 4G T679? It the original exhibit? There are multiple phones with the same name. Also wiping cache/dalvik cache and fix permissions will usually fix a problem like this.

Hi Dvarl,
I'm extremely sorry but I forgot to bookmark the sight and finally decided to search my laptop history to find the thread. The phone is the newer model SGH-T679 galaxy exhibit, not the exhibit II. I have tried wiping the cache but i'm not sure exactly how to proceed to do all the procedures that you are talking about. It does not have cwm installed. I did manage to root it before I got myself in this mess.
I can assure you I will be checking the replies frequently and any help is appreciated.

The t679 IS the exhibit 2 (although it was renamed the galaxy exhibit). The original exhibit aka just plain exhibit 4g t759 is the older model. It sounds like you have the t679 if that is correct, follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G
Do not follow those instructions if you do not have that phone. Google if you are unsure about the phone you have because if done right for the right phone these steps are perfectly safe. If however you have the wrong phone you will ruin it pretty badly. On that cheerful note, good luck!

Wow that was a fast response! I have saved your link so I can try it. You are right, it is the renamed exhibit II. The startup screen used to say exhibit NOT exhibit II. I just wished I had backed it up before I made the big mistake. I have learned my lesson. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and let you know the results. Thanks again for your help, Les

I'm having the same problem. I tried odin but it's not working.. what am I missing?

What I do because it is much much faster IMHO, I would use Odin to put cwm back on the phone then download any ROM I want or the flash to stock, or even better if you followed the rules restore a nandroid

I do have the renamed t679. I must be doing something wrong. First I put it into restore mode and clear the cache then restart in download mode. Then I start the Odin Multi Downloader (Ancora) and insert into the OPS field the Ancora.ops then insert into the One Package field the T679LG3.tar file then hit start until all automatically finishes.
I am still left with a phone in the boot logo loop. I noticed when I wiped the cache and restarted the phone script said something about " unable to mount \system .... I didn't take a snapshot so I'm not exactly sure of what it was but I know the phone will not start up if it can't mount the system partition, at least I think I saw that somewhere in a thread.
Any suggestions? I wish I knew someone around Atlanta that I could join up with and get this thing working. I loved this phone and only used it for about a week. I'm thinking before all this is over I will be a phone geek instead of a newbie. All the information that I have gotten here is super helpful, I just don't know enough to effectively utilize it.

OK well if it boots to the android icon with green fire or whatever then you have an os. My only advice is to make sure you check the right things when using Odin.

When I run the Odin Multi Downloader program it takes 5 mins and 38 secs to finish. The phone restore Odin is fairly fast when I reset to factory settings but I've never timed it. The phone boots to the t-mobile exhibit screen just beyond the plain white Samsung start up screen.

Hmm when I've done it it took about 10min, so perhaps the 300 sec reset option is not set. Try what tazmanion said by using Odin to flash cwm and then you can Mount system in revovery
If it doesn't get to boot animation then yea you have no os

I'm also still having bootloop issues, I wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, wiped battery stats, etc. but best it did was sit on the SAMSUNG for like 2 minutes then go back into a bootloop.
I'd like to keep the original rom/system in tact to not loose any data (didn't backup beforehand, I know...) anyone have suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
(yes this is crossposted, need answer asap, sorry)

You do not have a ROM if it sits in Samsung
