[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Ok basically what it all boils down to--- all you need to flash a custom rom is a recovery mode that allows it. A custom recovery. Flashing all these packages just happen to get you back to a point where you're fresh and clean and some HAVE alternative kernels (remember kernel = recovery for our phone ) but its not necessary. After you flashed siyah.tar and it said passed, at that point you had a custom recovery flashed into your phone. It of course wouldn't boot up because it hasn't flashed anything else, but that's ok cause all you'd have to have done was reboot the phone, hold volume up down and power and bam, youre in recovery . then do a factory reset and wipe the /system partition and flash whatever rom you want. You can flash ANY kernel pretty much to get into recovery as whatever ROM you flash will overwrite it.

[MENTION=5238555]cryodream[/MENTION],

Did you get this resolved? Did you try flashing from CWM recovery after installing Siyah kernel with Odin, as Phalanx suggested?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cryodream:
Yes, sorry it took me so long to let you all know, I was actually finishing writing this post as you posted yours :) It takes me long time with my "awesome" engrish :)

Thank you, actually, Thank You ALL so much, guys. Here's what I did:

downloaded SHOstock3 RoM for i777

copied SHOstock3-XWLSN-v3.0.2.zip onto the external SD card and put the card into the phone

booted into recovery mode

did "Wipe Cache Partition"

did "Wipe Data/Factory Reset"

installed SHOstock3 RoM from that zip file on SD card

Rebooted the phone and voila: Jelly Bean working!

Installed Root Checker (free version) and checked root: rooted

Result: rooted JB - exactly what I wanted, once again, thank You, guys, You rock!

A couple of questions:

1) Yellow triangle and flash counter (mine says YES (1 counts)). Solution - going to buy a Jig.

2) When Booting the 1st welcome screen shows Samsung Galaxy GT-I9100. Should I just live with it, or can I fix it?

Did this happen when I flashed I777UCKH7-CL503881-Full.exe ? I mean is it because i flashed bootloader? I'm asking, because I see warnings in many places:

3) How can it be, that after so much flashing and doing wipes and factory reset, I still have old pictures on my phone? The pictures I made before all this. And contacts - actually now I have a complete mess in my contacts - I have double of pretty much all of my contacts. I guess now I have "old" contacts and "new" contacts, which google synced from my google account? I was pretty sure I would end up with a "clean/empty/reset" phone. I thought Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data/Factory Reset did exactly that? Now I'm really confused. So how in hell do I clean out my phone? I will want to clean it before selling, when the time comes to upgrade.

4) I hoped cleaning out my phone will remove this annoying New Voicemails (1) Dial +1-201-310-3747 notification. It is driving me crazy, I don't remember when it first appeared, but it's been a long time. I have no voicemails, but the notifications is still always there. I don't want to dial the number manually, should I?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
USB jig will also clear the yellow warning triangle and I9100 boot screen.

That warning screen happened, and the flash counter was incremented when you used Odin to flash Siyah.tar. It has nothing to do with the bootloader. Actually the bootloaders in that UCKH7 package should be exactly the same as the original ones that were on the phone.

Pictures are stored on the sdcard. Wiping the data partition does not touch that. Contacts should have been wiped, so not sure where your duplicates came from, but I will say I always avoid letting google restore stuff when I flash. Cache partition does not contain anything that the user can access, it is only for the OS.

On 4 don't know the answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
#4 Call and leave yourself a voice mail. Then delete it.

If this doesn't fix it permanently, you may need to get a new SIM card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cryodream:
Than you again for the answers. I will buy that Jig thing tomorrow, I think I saw a link in one of your guides. As for the contacts mess, it's actually very simple - I was too happy and distracted that my phone finally works. All the doubles come from: sim card and gmail sync. I totaly forgot, that when I upgraded my evil iPhone4 to this SGS2 the girl at the at&t counter said that she transferred all my contacts.

Anyway, I've been battling with my contacts for hours now :) I was always too lazy to set them up properly. I figured it's time to set them up in gmail and that's gonna be the easiest way to have them backed up and synced.

Question about contacts: how do you guys save "company" contacts? eg.: Some Company Customer Service. I used to save only "Organization" field and that would show up in the contacts list as name. But now I see that gmail saves a phone number as name in this case. So I tried using "File As" and it works OK, but - I can't find that option on android. How do you guys save "company" contacts (if you do)?

Thanks, I will try that. I asked my gf to call and leave me a voicemail. Now I can't get into my voicemail. Instead of asking me for my password it asks me to "Please enter your mailbox number, specified by your system manager" :laugh: I'll get into that after I'll finish my war with contacts :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red_81:
That sounds like you're using the wrong number to call your voice mail. Att? Or another service?

I dont think Chrome works on 2.3.4 . You can flash a JB Rom, but from experience I can tell you that Chrome wasn't fast on the N1. The default browser on the JB Roms work just fine.

How can I avoid a hard reset in Himalaya bootloader ?

While entering bootmode all data are available.

They are all deleted, because some kind of flag

tells the MDA2 in bootmode to make a hard reset (???)

Thank You very much for any hint, Karl
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] itsme:
I have not found it yet, but it should be possible, if you run the upgrade tool, with just the radio upgrade, it usually does not cold boot after returning from the bootloader. so looking at how the upgrade tool switches to the bootloader should give a hint.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] KarlGreuel:

After rooting ATT GS4 today, when I reboot the device, there is no longer a samsung Galaxy S4 on the first boot screen.

There is a unlock picture and a word "custom" under that. Anyone knows how can I get the original pic back to the first boot screen.

By the way, if there will be any rom having chinese display language for ATT i337?

Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
This issue has already been widely discussed in the existing root threads for the i337 root method. As of yet, there is no way to restore the boot screen to original, or install custom ROMS, or reset (if any exist) flash counters, or install custom recoveries. Give it some time and I'm sure all will be taken care of. It's always a good practice to read through 100% of the posts in threads before doing anything to your phone. Just some advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] XsMagical:
In order to remove this icon you have to do a factory reset but before you that you will need to delete busybox from system bin /bin/

Use root explorer, delete busybox

Back up all data on the internal memory.

Turn off the device.

Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:

Volume Up key

Home key

Power key.

When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.

When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.

Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'

Press Power button to select.

Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'

Press Power button to select and start the master reset.

When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.

Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.

Then the icon will be gone

[HTC Amaze 4G] vikasraj:
Hello All,

After reading a loads of treads and posts and trying a loads of thing.. I am finally posting my problem here..

My HTC amaze was working perfectly fine with the stock ROM.. Until i though about trying the Revolution HD ROM. This is where it all went wrong.

I did a clean wipe and flashed the ROM through 4ext recovery. The phone got stuck in boot animation screen for hours (I literally dozed off waiting for the screen to come back on, 3 hours i must say) Then i used my stock ROM to get back but NO go, it didn't help, As advised i did a super wipe and then tried re-installing the ROM NO go, Then I tried to go back to stock ICS ROM NO go, then I was advised to downgrade to GB stock and then try but that also didn't help me in any ways..

Now I am stuck with a phone which has the Recovery working, the Bootloader works fine the internal and external sd card show me the content perfectly but then the only thing missing is the phone powering up to an Interface the ROM DOESN'T boot up and it's stuck in the Boot animation screen..

Please help me as this is the device i have to use on a daily basis.. I really love the phone and can't see it just getting wasted for nothing... :(

Kindly provide your inputs on what can be done..

I tried to flash multiple times first the ROM then the kernel but it's jus getting stuck at boot loader.

I have waited long enough to make sure that the first boot takes it's time to start up but it isn't..

The phone is S 0ff bootloader unlocked from htc dev and also has smart flash enabled on 4ext recovery..

Do u all this i should try the unbrick thread and follow th instruction there to see if i can revive my phone..

Hey that's fine Peter.. Got a new issue now with this phone.. i swear i am having a roller coaster ride with it..

This might sound funny but The phone loads on to an interface of the ROM with only Viper ROM and no other ROM i mean no other ROM..

I tried moving it back to the Stock didn't happen.. Energy -- no ways it moves agead of the boot animation, Speed Rom it does the same thing..

Now what do u think i should Do with this phone.. Viper Rom also starts to crash after like 2 hours of using..

What could possible be wrong with this Phone...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
before flashing any rom do a full wipe (format everything except sd card) maybe your missing that :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Viper comes with a kernel.. That's why it worked

Otherwise

Flash a rom then flash kernel THEN reboot. Unless the room will work with your current kernel.

Or do an ruu that you have renamed PH85IMG.zip (search proper naming as it's caSe SENSItivE) and have it placed on the root of the external Sd. (bootloader must be relocked before too)

.. Reboot to bootloader it will start automatically...

If you don't want to flash ruu please remember

... You must disable smart flash in 4ext (also update 4ext from within the app.. Not recovery ) to flash roms if you are s-off

A lot of people have not updated 4ext and the newest version had some important information and fixes.!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] vikasraj:
I do it religiously every time before flashing a ROM... OKie... i got to know something which happened to my phone.. my cousin was playing game on it.. and she saw some upgrade waiting and pressed it but it never went through.. (This is when i was having a stock ROM on it) and then i thought the stock ROM had issues and i tried flashing the Revolution ROM... Well I guess my cousin triggered the update and she said it didn't go through so she switched off the phone and never told me about it.. :( Under my current situation the only Rom that boots up is Viper Rom and no other ROM has been able to boot up.. And in Viper Rom the phone process gets a Force close... Acore process get force close and many more like that..
[HTC Amaze 4G] vikasraj:
Thanks for the info... Let me give this also a try.. and will let you know...

Jus a question though Well we jus need to re-lock the boot loader right and not S-On the phone again ?? (Though i don't know how to S -ON it)

I tried to re-lock the boot loader and i guess it was successful with the following error:

C:\Amaze\data>fastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Lock successfully...

(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = -131073 (0xFFFDFFFF)

Latest firmware

There is a link in the ARHD thread for the ICS upgrade. It might be worth your while to start with a complete wipe. Falsh ICS firmware update. Flash new radio and hboot update (I didn't have to relock my bootloader either). Flash rom of your choice (I personaaly prefer viper LOL) then reboot and see what you get!

**Also I would recommend using 4ext recovery!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:

I had to unlock the bootloader again.. But there looks like no way i would get back to the stock ROM. :( So after unlocking it now it back to UNlocked... but again I have to start from scratch..

Firmware

--- With 4.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing above firmware ---

--- Place PH85IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader mode ---

--- This package contains newest radio and rcdata ---

--- MD5 Checksum: FD324E130464245C84275902377527F8 ---

--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ---

--- You don't have to flash RIL files for recommended radio. It's already in the ROM ---

after you do that one, do this one. Place on external sdcard, boot into bootloader and follow instructions on screen from there. I did not relock my bootloader to do this...
