[Q] Brick after trying to install Gingerbread

Hi i am on a captivate i896. I tried to install I897UCKF1. Everything was fine till it had to reboot after installation then i couldn't do anything. I can't install stock rom, the phone reboots with att logo and it doesn't do anything. I think its the bootloader that is messed up and i don't know how to install the older ones or just to be able to get back to rogers 2.1 stock or ATT 2.1 stock. I am always stuck at this screen :

Restart your computer and if running windows vista or 7 make sure you run Odin as an administrator and possibly even compatibility mode. I have had that problem before and a restart fixed it.

tried it, still the same thing...

i read something about bootloaders are different for the gingerbread build than the normal eclair and froyo. I don't know if i have to do something different. I just wanna get back to stock 2.1 from there i can find my way out...

Did you try the Odin 1 click for stock JF6 posted by Designgears in the development forum? It flashes both bootloaders that are need to get back to stock.

yes i did, and it stalls at file analysis....usually it works but now i don't know why!

I has an issue like this once where it would get stuck during the flash and my screen would turn different colors. I got it to work by using the full odin where you can select the pda & pit files. Give it a try.

Try using the Odin version provided in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
It should restore to stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Not sure if being a UCKF1 poses a problem in your device or location, but I suppose it's worth a shot. Note that the rest of the instructions is to root the device, you don't need to do all those other steps. Just download the Odin One-Click, and try it out. Regards.

captivate bricked
flashing power off charging logo when try to reboot . no down load mode cant do sh%t.help please

See the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" that is linked in my signature below.
If that does not help then...
Sounds like you are gonna need a JIG. See my signature link below for links to how to make one or where to buy one.
When you get back into download mode, you are gonna need to flash a Stock Firmware of your choice. There is a sticky thread in the Captivate Development Forum that you will need to see for those.

[Q] Need help! Galaxy Note does not boot anymore. [SOLVED]

My Galaxy note does not boot anymore. I can boot CWM but when I flash a ROM or format /system the device hangs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Have you tried wipe cache from recovery?
And wat exact happened before error occured?

Thanks for your quick reply
I got stuck on the Samsung N7000 screen after a reboot. I'm running [ROM][04.04.12] imilka's AOSP ICS v08 [IMM76D/4.0.4]
Formating data/cache works but when you install a ROM it just sits on installing update. I've tried flashing multiple ROMS.
If I select unmount /system or format /system it hangs as well. Same happens when I try to restore my backup from yesterday. I can only boot CWM or download mode at the moment.
I've only had HTC phones before so I don't have any Samsung experience.

Which kernel you had ?
What exact error occurs, when you flashing ROM?

I was using the kernel that came with the ROM.
I was just doing a reboot after the device has been powered off for a few hours. Nothing special.
Whe I try to flash a ROM now it just hangs at installing system forever. My guess is that something has screwed up the system parttion because I'm unable to format it now using CWM.
Any other way to try repartition the device?

Bricked Tab :(

hi people,
So here is my issue, i rooted my tab after having it about a year and wanted to install a custom rom, installed RomManager from the market and installed the clockwork recovery mod, BUT i picked galaxy tab 10.1 when it asked me what phone i had, as there was no other option. I checked on google first and it seems other people with the 8.9 are using the clockwork recovery mod so i thought it was safe.
Now its dead and powers up to the samsung logo, and then dies again.
Help! (currently i am draining the battery as it is mentioned in another thread in this forum)
Thanks
(tried the APX thing in nvflash and it was a no go)

It's alright. Go to the guide in my signature and read up about ODIN because you will use it to save your tablet. It's all there in FAQs, How-tos and the Toolkit at the end.

i highly recommend checking out nirogu325's guide for an explanation of ODIN. it should solve your problem

Power on the tablet, you may need to charge it.
As it is powering on hold down the power and the vol down button
Go into download, not recovery
Connect your tablet to your computer with the USB cable
Open up Odin
You should see box that says PDA, click there and it will want you to find a file. Choice the recovery file
Make sure the box that says partition or repartion are NOT check
then check start and wait. DO NOT touch or disconnect the tablet while it works

Booooo, now what? im using an old version of odin, so maybe ill try and new one?

Solved! So i was putting the MD5 file and it wasnt working, so i put the whole .RAR file in and it worked! It wouldnt flash the clockwork recovery mod though so i had to put the stock one back on.
Still it works again, thanks guys.

I am glad you have your tablet back in working order.
Well now that you have the stock recovery, you can attempt to flash the Clockwork recovery again the right way if you want to. You now know how to recovery your tablet if you have a brick again so you don't have anything to lose

If Odin recognizes the tab there is a chance to recover it. What rom are you trying to flash? Go to sammobile.com and get the stock gb rom.

I know it doesn't make sense but keep trying to flash the rom. I've seen it not work for many tries and then it would for some reason. If odin recognizes the tab you are not hard bricked. You should be able to get it to operate again.
Also, use the gb Rom, uckj7

Hi!
I downloaded your kit. I am having the same trouble as ranejitendra.
I followed the Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide. But when it was time to reboot after installing CM9 i just went into a bootloop. When I tried to restore my backup it says it is successfully restored but when it reboots it just stops at the Samsung logo screen.
When I use the kit I firstly let it be in the logo screen and Odin recognizes it becuase the ID:COM turns yellow and says 0:[COM10]
Secondly I tried to start it in recovery mode. Same result. In downloadmode it is not recognized.
when I hit start this comes:

[Q] questions about rooting, flashing, ...

I've been reading posts on this forum for about 2-3 hours now and I still have some questions.
I have a galaxy s advance with android version 2.3.6 and baseband version XXLK2
i48.tinypic.com/2rz78sm.png
I was planning on rooting my phone and then maybe installing a custom ROM on it.
But I couldn't find a rooted firmware for my region (BELGIUM). And I also couldn't find the stock firmware for my region.
Neither on sammobile.com and neither on samsung-updates.com
My first question is: can I use rooted firmware that's for another region or will this cause problems for me?
My second question is: can I use rooted firmware with another baseband version than XXLK2?
Third question: if the answer on the first two questions is no, how am i supposed to root my phone then?
fourth and for now the last question: what is twrp recovery, and what is it used for, do I need it to root my phone or flash roms?
Thanks in advance!

do you want to stay with gingerbread, or upgrade to jellybean?
because rooting and flashing is much tougher in gb than in JB! tell me that i can help you.

Hi,
I got the same phone / baseband version in Austria. Downloaded XXLK2 firmware from sammobile.com, used simg2img to extract system.img, add su binary (=rooted), made a new system.img with make_ext4fs and flashed with heimdall. Meanwhile I used the same procedure to root and flash the jelly bean firmware XXLPY released for the russian market. Therefore I guess you can also flash a different version of gingerbread.

if u upgrade to JB, root is a one step, 5 min process after which it takes a few more minutes to start flashing roms after flashing a new kernel with Clockworkmod. if u wanna start with jellybean, go here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094318(make sure u install the stock samsung rom first , then root then install recovery, then flash a custom rom) this WILL NOT void ur warranty
on the other hand rooting gingerbread is incredibly complex. if u wanna do that go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199
its totally safe to flash anither country firmware using odin.then root the supported firmware. also this will void your warranty,
then to install a new kernel with TWRP recovery , go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873119
then finally choose the custom rom u want Jetmod or supressed and flash using TWRP(assuming you know how to atleast nter download and recovery mode!)

So what i'm going to do is:
1. download JB and install it
2. Root
3. then install twrp recovery
4. Flash a kernel with clockworkmod (which kernel do you suggest?)
5. Flash custom roms
Is this the correct order or am i wrong?

You can't install any recovery by itself. It comes with kernel. Only kernel with permanent recovery - CWM is ThunderZap now.
1. Download JB, flash it with Odin. - go again to recovery - do factory reset.
2. Root with root.zip from stock recovery
3. Install kernel with CWM (ThunderZap) with dd command in terminal editor
4. Flash custom ROM from CWM recovery.

Search google "samsung download mode" and you should see image of it. When you power your phone with vol.down+home+power you get question do you want to continue. You press volume up to confirm. And after that with your phone connected and file in PDA hit start.

I have a similar issue. In Odin/Download mode I tried flashing Jelly Bean. Here is what I get from Odin:

In red on the screen is "CUSTOM PWR MGT BINARY !!"
Did a factory reset. Same issue. Turned on Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging + Allow mock locations. Same issue.
Any ideas?

Maybe 10seconds.
I downloaded Odin3.07 (Was using Odin3v1.7). From: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086965
It is still showing in red "CUSTOM *** BINARY !!!!" but is now progressing to other components.
Will report back.

It should last couple minutes. Something is wrong at start. I am not saying redownload Odin, whole firmware file. But you did unpack it from zip, it should be noticable that it is corrupted when you did that on pc.

Thanks.
Used Odin3v3.07 to install JB and it boots! Now the baseband version is "Unknown" and I have no service.

Try wiping cache reset in stock recovery and problem solve

I've succesfully upgraded to JB, rooted and flashed kernel.
Any suggestions about ROMS for i9070 ?
