Would Rerooting help?

So somehow someway my phone is on the "Galaxy S 2 Yellow triangle with exclamation mark" screen and wont boot up.
I simply wiped factory reset, and dalvik ( coming from Caulks Rom ) and then flashed Blazer Rom 3.7 and it never went past that screen.
My question is can i simply re root on my mac and would my phone go back to stock rooted OS? Or do I have to restore it through Odin?
Note I did backup my previous rom!
Sorry forgot to mention I cant access recovery either! I hold down volume up and power and nothing just stays on the yellow triangle screen...

Get calks format all ...flash it and then go to advanced and wipe system and then flash new ROM .... If it still doesn't work check md5 on the ROM that it's a good download if it's not redownload and flash ....you can always restore your back up

Can you get into download mode? If so Odin a ROM, then restore your old Nandroid.

Man you guys are fast (THANKS) yes I can get into Download mode, but I guess my main question is, If i re root again and flash the Samsung drivers, rootzip etc ( like rooting again) would this fix my problem?

How do I do that? Sorry...I never really do things like this.. Do I simply put my phone into Download mode, connect it to Odin, and select PDA to a kernel I want? Woulld I do the same for CWM?

I would definitely recommend going this route. Follow the instructions in this thread it will help you to install ACS (CWM) Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268037

for future reference recovery is volume Up + power. not down.

From the sounds of it id say you may need to flash more than the kernal I was in a similar situation where my recovery wouldnt work and I couldnt boot into the rom and I had to flash back to stock through Odin to get it working again. Then after that I re rooted and flashed a rom.

Im not sure, when it happened to me there wasnt a way. Its really simple though I mean when I did it I was back up and running, rerooted, and running a rom in about 10 minutes if that.
This is the file you would need to flash the stock tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634 this is what I used then after I just re rooted.

Yes but instead of ODIN you'll use Heimdall. There's a guide in the link below.

I've been in this situation before, you have a bad flash.... you have to odin back to stock redownlaod the rom you installed and try again... the yellow triangle will probably still be there but the phone will boot. i bought a jig to get rid of my yellow triangle (It really bothered me and the jig was like a buck)

Yes that guide is for rooting but you can flash ROM's with Heimdall too. Just do a Google search for it and you'll see. Either that or find yourself a windows box and ODIN a rooted ROM with clockwork recovery and then restore your backup.

Please help...Odin Fails on Recovery.bin

My name is Chris and I am a noob
I bought a used Galazy S2 Epic 4G Touch. As it turned out the phone was rooted and was running the Starburst rom. All day today I have spent reading about and trying to put this phone back to the stock firmware from sprint. I have tried the one-click odin installers and tried using odin and loading the PDA manually. Each and eveytime it fails on the recovery.bin. Can someone please help this noob out?
The phone will no longer boot up into the OS and states there was an issue with the firmware. However, I can boot into the download mode and the phone is recognized by odin. I have tried using a different USB cord, different USB ports, different computer running Windows XP....all with no luck. I would greatly appreciate any and all help.

Whenever you interrupt an ODIN flash it will give you that message until you get a clean flash of something. Sometimes you need a USB jig to get back into ODIN D/L mode, but it seems you are saying you already can get there.
Your flash memory is probably defective for the recovery.bin partition. It actually isn't used. Try flashing individually the modem, kernel, and ROM. If you look at the 2nd post of the ODIN One-Click posts, the individual tar files are provided.

Do you have the samsung drivers installed, I had a problem like that until I updated them..

I installed the modem, kernal and rom individually and the phone is working! Thank you so much. Is there anything else that I need to do to the phone to get it back to factory or is this it?

If you want you can do a ##786# reset. This will clear your android user data and clear NVRAM. Your phone will reprovision itself at next boot. If the previous owner messed with the NVRAM though it might not always reset properly though.
If your phone is otherwise working now (ie provisioned) then I wouldn't bother clearing NVRAM and instead would just do a wipe data/factory reset from Recovery or do it from Privacy->Reset.

Flash a stock rom with efs clear checked in odin. This will reset the phone and OTA activate. Plus it will reset anything the previous user may have done with the nvram.

[Q] Odin Help/Stuck

I have a problem, that I cannot find nor figure out the solution, I hope there is someone here that can help. I have used and have flashed with Odin many many times and have never had a problem.
Problem:
I am running a BeastMod 5.0, and before that I was running a ICS ROM...can't remember which one. I wanted to make sure I had everything ready for when the Official ICS dropped. Went to flash the stock which is posted here, got all the way (in Odin) to the Modem cache.img.ext4 part and that is where it hangs. I actually left it overnight just to make sure, and was still stuck on that part of the flash. It keeps rebooting to the Kies download page and only way to fix is to Odin Flash clockwork recovery. I have tried the super wipe, cache wipe, and every other tool I can find, but it still always get stuck at the part listed above.
Hopefully someone else has had the same problem and been able to fix. All help is greatly appreciated.

Try reflashing the recovery. Once in recovery, reflash the ROM. That is what I had to do. Hope it helps. Also, make sure and upload the ROM to your SD Card...the superwipe doesn't touch the SD Card.

Put your phone in download mode, open Odin, flash non-touch recovery 5.0.2.7, then boot to recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount usb, transfer ROM, flash ROM, fix permisssions, reboot and enjoy!

[Q] Possible bricking. Recovery methods and alternatives?

Much like the others here I rooted my T-mobile galaxy s3. The root worked fine and all. Then I downloaded this font changer app (I forget the name but it required a root) I go on to select a font then I go on to reboot like it said. Then bam, my phone gets stuck on the samsung screen. I then proceeded to use odin to put the stock image back on it (I think that's what it's called) It went through. I also did the factory wipe via the recovery screen. But now my phone would turn on, show "Samsung Galaxy S3," go to a black screen, play the t-mobile jingle, and the only thing that happens is the LED flashes but still nothing on the screen. I've tried virtually everything and I still think there is something else I need to do.
Help please?

I had a similar problem, this is what I did. Try and boot into cwr by hilding the vol up +power+home when it vibrates let go. Now u should b in cwr. Now wipe everything, dalvic, factory wipe fix permission. And flash a new rom cm10 will do..

The problem is that he may be rooted but doesn't have cwm recovery.
If that's the case then you need to flash cwm recovery first.
I would also try flashing stock rom again or after flashing cwr download nandroid backup of stock rom.
Good luck and let us know if that worked

That sounds like a reasonable solution. Can I get a link to the CWM recovery file as well as a guide to it so I don't dig myself into a deeper hole? lol

Actually if you're stock recovery, factory reset should wipe everything. Including internal sd, just so you know.
If that doesn't work it'd probably be cleaner to just odin the root66 fw. But if you prefer the other way, you can find recovery files at the top of post 2 in the fw thread. Root66 is at the top of post 1.
I still need to add a few recoveries so if you don't see one you want let me know.

Hey guys,
Was trying to root my stock T-Mobile Galaxy S3, and everything was going fine but after it rebooted from Odin, the screen stayed black, and only the blue LED was pulsing. I assume it has something to do with my phone being on 4.1.1 and the S3 toolkit not liking that. I tried to flash the stock Rom to get it out of this, but now the same thing is still happening. I have tried multiple cache wipes/factory resets and multiple other stock ROMs. I always without fail get the same thing Samsung splash screen/Blue pulsing LED/start up sound and black screen. I'm getting really frustrated and worried. Can anyone help?

That's actually the exact problem I just solved. You would need Odin 3.04 (well that's what I used) and you need to flash root66 like one of the previous posters here said. It recovered my phone AND rooted it. So try that and tell us what happened.

Actualy I don't use toolkit so I might be wrong, but I don't think you need to convert root66 to tar. Just skip the toolkit. Put your phone into download mode, open odin, connect your phone to pc and flash root66. Check root66 thread for some info about unziping it or converting to anything. All info should be in op. If there is nothing about it then flash it as it is. Make sure that you have phone drivers installed and turn off kies.
I hope it helps.

Did the same thing
I did the same thing. I used the toolkit and was distracted by my son which ended up in me skipping over areas I thought I read and missed the part about JellyBean creating soft-brick.. It did install CWM though . Low and behold, I soft-bricked my phone with the pulsing blue LED from HELL. I kept having issues flashing everything, luckily the toolkit DID install CWM for me which was of no help. When I used Odin 3.0.4 it worked flawlessly with the stock rooted t999 rom which I have attached along with Odin 3.0.4.
Here is how to fix your soft-brick with the black screen and blue LED from hell:
1.) Download files attached and EXTRACT > root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.7z AND Odin_3.0.4_Files.zip
2.) Boot into download updates screen by pressing and holding Home Button, Volume Down Button, and Power Button at same time until you boot into downloading updates screen.
3.) Plug in your phone to your pc
4.) Open Odin 3.0.4 make sure Auto Reboot and F . Reset Time are checked
5.) Click the PDA button at the right, select boot-stock-tmobile-sgh-t999
7.) Click the START button.
8.) Repeat Steps 2-4
9.) Click the PDA button at the right, select root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5
10.) Click the START button and you should see it install things you never saw before like BOOT, SYSTEM, MODEM, etc. (not in that order) at the top left where it shows installation progress (that little green rectangle)

HELP PLEASE t889V stuck on Samsung logo

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how

Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?

You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Could you give me some pointers once I open up odin what do i need to do ? Thanks

Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!
Thanks for your quick help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here's my next question.
In order to root again do i use the toolkit again or simply just download the pre-rooted rom and flash it with Odin? Which one would be better just
to get root again? Thanks!

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.
