[SOLVED!!] Accidentally flashed GT-i9100 bootloader...

Like an IDIOT I accidentally Odin'd the international (GT-i9100) bootloader over the stock/rooted FH13. The phone works but in download mode Odin does not recognize. I've tried everything I could read others have tried (drivers, etc) but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I out of the Odin business permanently?
Thanks.

I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

If I recall correctly times_infinity posted how to flash the bootloader using adb / terminal, but don't quote me on that.

Yeah I can't remember who it was but there is definitely a thread on it.

Doesn't the international boot loader make the USB port on our phone not work anymore? Which is why when you go to Odin mode, a computer won't recognize it? That's what I remember

Ya there was a guy who did this a day or two ago, he sent it for JTAG, no USB after the flash so JTAG is your only option afik

Sorry didn't read your op thoroughly, interesting situation.... I'll keep an eye out for info, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some adb magic you could pull to fix it since it still boots...

Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.

That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I'd love to but have no idea how to. Remember I'm the idiot that installed the wrong bootloader! I was even able to restore my nandroid but that didn't change the bootloader version.

I am trying to do this from the phone or I would be more help. Search our forum for sgs2 bootloader or flashed wrong bootloader or something and see if you can find the thread on this issue.

Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).

I was mistake this was about the kernel, not the boot loader. Regardless here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29843206&postcount=23

Then you might be out of luck. I am not sure you can fix it without Odin. Here is a bootloader if you get Odin working. If you didn't try all of the steps I posted please do it again. Also switch cables even though it works for other functions.

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag. Luckily My phone still operates normally, I just won't be able to flash anything by Odin and when my phone boots it says it's a GT-i9100. I did find a good thread about this for anyone else in the same boat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816931&highlight=wrong+bootloader
In the end, this is what I get for getting careless. Totally my fault.

Wouldn't flashing the whole thing with Mobile ODIN work?
I mean a whole .tar ROM

From my knowledge and personal experience, you do not. Just turn off the phone, hold both the top and bottom volume buttons, and then plug in the USB cable

If I do have to unlock it do I have to use the ATT version of project freegee because I tried using the sprint version but it does nothing. If I do use the ATT version of free gee will it end up bricking my phone.

It might be the ATT firmware on your phone, but I doubt it. (Why are you putting ATT firmware on a sprint phone?)
To enter download mode, all you do is press on that bump in the middle the volume rocker. It is there so that you can press both volume buttons with one finger, which normally opens up QuickMemo. With the phone turned off, press and hold both volume buttons and press the power button until the LG logo appears. Release the power button, but continue to hold the volume buttons till the phone is in Download Mode. Then just plug the phone into your PC and Windows should recognize it as some unknown device (I think).

[Q] CWM problem please help!

I was running cyanogenmod 9 on my phone when I looked into rom manager, I realized that there was a new version available (6.0.2.7) so I installed it via rom manager. A few days later i found that a stable version of cyanogenmod 10 was available so i put the zip file on my phone and followed the instructions to flash it. I did a darkside superwipe and everything. Then i went to boot my phone and it was stuck on the boot animation for 30 minutes, i scrolled down the page to find a comment from a person having the same issue, he said that to fix it he just pulled the battery out of his phone, put it back in and booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe and fixed permissions, then booted and it worked. I decided to try, so I booted recovery and tried to do a factory reset, clockworkmod froze. I tried it again, and it froze again. I then tried to clear the cache, clockworkmod froze. I tried to do a darkside superwipe, clockworkmod froze. No matter what I try to install clockworkmod will freeze. Has anybody on here had this problem, or know how to fix it? Or maybe know how to downgrade clockworkmod without being able to actually use the phone?

First off, don't use the Superwipe script on anything other than CWM 5.0.X. It'll cause a boot loop and ruin your recovery. I think your best bet is to boot into download mode and flash a recovery using Odin.

I just discovered that I can't get into download mode either.

Have you ever tried to reset your phone through kies? If not give it a try. Open kies on your computer then go to tools and click on upgrade and initialize. It will ask you to enter your device model, then the s/n number and just follow the instructions from kies. Let me know if that works for you

Good idea, but my phone won't actually get passed the boot animation, so Kies can't recognize it.

If you can still get back to CWM recovery mode, you can use adb from a PC to reboot it into download by
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot download
After that you should be able to use Odin to push anything you need to (or Kies *should* work when it's in download mode, it's been a while since I've used it for anything)

Yes just figured out to get my phone in download you have to just hold the down volume button, then put in the usb cable. Rather then holding both up and down.

Just to let you you don't need kies to recognize your device to do that.

Just retried and it started, but then I got a notice with a bunch of Chinese writing, then the upgrade shutdown.

Well sorry to hear that. I would recommend to go galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick, I used that the last time my bricks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you can get to download, you can try Odin to push a new recovery image. If you get CWM back up and running, you can use various adb spells and have a pretty good chance to get your phone back into working condition.

Let us know how things going. We will try to get your phone back to working condition.

alright so, heres where I am: the whole kies thing didn't work, so I tried to flash a new recovery through odin, it failed and now my phone is on a message that looks like the download screen, but instead of "downloading" it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

May be try kies again. I also post a web site to check I used it the last time my phone bricked. If you didn't see it here it is galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick. It worked for me.

Figured out that the screen I was seeing is still download mode, and odin still recognizes my phone. Found on the website that if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin, it should unbrick/ unroot the phone. When I tried to flash through odin it got stuck on the boot.img process and wont load any further. I tried kies again and still had the same problem.

Sorry to here that. In the meanwhile, I will do some research, will let you know.

No OS, cant access download mode. HELP!

This is my first post, so I will be as clear as I can. I rooted my LG OG with no problem, then made the mistake on trying to unlock it using freegee. When I tried to reboot, it got stuck with a black screen. Then affter doing some research, I used LGNPST to see if that would work. When it reached 85% and rebooted, only got to the 4Glte screen and quit. Tried to reboot several times to no avail. I then tried to use the TINYBIT for my lg970. Now I am stuck with twrp 2.4.4.0 and no OS. I can only access fastboot and recovery. No download mode! I cant even flash a rom, cause when I try and push one to twrp using adb, it fails saying cant find partition. Any help would be excellent! Don't be afraid to tell me it is bricked.

No worries.
So you used Framaroot to get root and now your stick in Secure ??? Bootloop, right?
If that's the case, then yes, you have to use either LGNPST or LGFlashtool. Flashtool has is own thread and LGNPST info is in the teeny bin thread under "Additional info.
Also there is a sticky in Development that'll help you reroot and unlock your phone.
Edit. Once you are rooted and unlocked then you'll need to install a KK TWRP or CWM. If you use Freegee to unlock, it'll install the needed recovery to flash KK ROMs.

You have stock recovery right now. You can't flash or really do anything with it. To fix your phone, you need to get into download mode.
Go to either or both, teeny bin thread and or LGFlashtool thread and follow those directions.
When your phone is fixed by either of those methods, then you can root and unlock your phone.
Edit. Does your phone boot up at all? It shouldn't if you're getting that message.

Go to either or both, teeny bin thread and or LGFlashtool thread and follow those directions.
When your phone is fixed by either of those methods, then you can root and unlock your phone.
Edit. Does your phone boot up at all? It shouldn't if you're getting that message.
