Whats going on guys? I'm running into a mindboggling issue with my fiance's T-mobile Galaxy S2. I'm going to run down exactly what happened, and if anyone has any suggestions or insight... please share it with me.
Ok first things first, I installed the firmware upgrade through Kies to 4.1.2 the same exact way I did on my S2 just a few minutes before... Except this time, as soon as the phone powered up I got the com.google.process.gapps not working error. I did a little research on it first through here and the most common thing i found was to enable download manger... HOWEVER, under her apps list there isnt any form of a download manager on it. So i checked my phone, just to see if it was a firmware problem, but my phone has DOWNLOADS, as Well as DOWNLOAD MANAGER. There was no way for me to download one through the Google Play on her phone because the phone force closes Google Play as soon as you press it.
From there I downloaded all of the drivers, and odin, so that i could just upload the old 2.3.6 stock rom back on the phone... That worked correctly as well, but as soon as the "Press the Andriod" to setup appeared, I encountered the same error message as before. "(com.google.process.gapps not working) as well as setup wizard not working, and now its not allowing me to set the phone up at all. Does anyone have any insight on this? All help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!!
******edit********
I've figured out where i went wrong... I didn't move su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip or Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip onto the internal memory before I flashed the 2.3.6 stock rom through odin... Now that i cant get past the "TOUCH THE ANDRIOD TO START SETUP" screen... is there any way i can put it onto the internal memory?

U don't need the su file at all, all that file does is give superuser permissions, try using Odin to flash the stock 4.1.2 firmware to the device that should fix it, like I said u don't NEED the su file, that's only for root, u could Odin a twrp recovery and use that to flash a stock ROM with working gapps, my guess is u just had a faulty kies upgrade and it didn't quite update right, kies is funny sometime, and when u use Odin u need to make sure there is NO trace of kies running at all, remove it from the PC if u can, download the twrp2.6.tar file from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules and use Odin the same way u did the GB firmware, this will give u custom recovery from there download a stock ROM from here, or go get cl3keners tw-speed-stock ROM from goo.com, mount storage through twrp and move the ROM to ur external SD card, go back to main screen in twrp and select install, find the ROM and flash it, now u will be on stock rooted firmware and should have no issues, pm me if u need further help

I have looked up many repeals online to root my ballast s 2 but all of them are made for 2.3.5 but since i'm at 2.3.6 the su file on sd card fails and aborts to install with cwm. I synced cwm through Odin and it seems to work but problem for me is to do what I want to do.
1) create nandroid backup of stock
2) try out new ROM s
Help me to achieve these somewhat easy goals please

wait, got a little confused from your post... so did you flash CWM or not? you want to do backups through recovery and not from rom manager..
actually just install ROMS through Recovery too.
RECOVERY is CWM
BTW it has been reported that when the flashing of SU fails... it actually didn't fail.. and that it actually successfully flashed.. just check the app drawer to make sure
there are a few threads on this on the General section here is one follow the step by step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
Don't worry about the SU failing.. keep trying, it'll fail about 2 times then it'll go through.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I had same issue but like 4 other threads concerning the same have said that even thou it fails reboot and go see if super user was installed in app drawer...there's even a you tube video showing that it says failed

Is there a way to push or flash SU through Odin?
I for got to load the file on my phone prior to flashing cwm .. And
Its stuck on Samsung logo...
Remove the sd card and load the su zip on it through the memory card reader on your pc then reboot the phone into recovery and install the zip or follow the instructions here- http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-ro...y-s2-sgh-t989/
Im having some trouble and am wondering if someone could help me out. I came from red's freegs3 R6 rom and I decided to use the super wipe zip found in the op. I followed instructions to the T and when I tried flashing this rom (xquizite) after the superwipe my phone rebooted into the galaxy s 3 screen. It wont move from there. I cant access recovery because it seems that superwipe wipe the recovery too lol.
I boot into odin and all I get is downloading do not turn off target. What is it downloading?
I guess I have to flash a new recovery but I cant access anything on my phone. I'm trying to use the toolkit found in the sticky's but I can't get usb debuggin on to flash the recovery. Can someone help me with steps to get this straightened out.
Its booting into download mode. Install odin onyour pc, download the latest firmware, plug in your phone and go. Theres plenty of tuts on odin and I dont want to mess something up by going from memory.
I dont think superwipe does anything to recovery so not sure what hapoened to you there.
You are not bricked though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You aren't bricked, I can tell you that. Have you tried to Odin back into stock?
I'm downloading stock rom now. This means I need to reroot right?
Clearly there is a miscommunication on what Odin is. You don't boot into Odin you boot into download mode. Odin is a PC app that you use on your phone while your phone is in download mode. It isn't downloading anything unless Odin is pushing software to it from your PC. It just always says downloading.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Okay thanks for the correction. Yes im in download mode. Is it okay to push any other rom rather than stock thru odin or is odin made only for stock pushes?

If someone makes a tar package....it flashes tar packages to the phone containing modem, system, MDM , data and partitions basically whole stock firmwares I am going to find u a package that is already rooted and ready to go in Odin. If u do it any other way (root) u will have to flash an insecure kernel. So this package will flash the stock firmware and root u from there I suggest flashing recovery right after. I would use twrp.......follow directions carefully here.....download goo manager beta from market then install it open it give it superuser perms. Then hit menu on Ur phone and go to "install open recovery script" this will download recovery (twrp) and install it for u when it says its done just reboot into recovery. IMO twrp way better then cwm and cwm is somehow always linked to imei. Always disappearing ...never heard of any problems with twrp and it does backups and restored quicker.
OK so basically to be on the safe side u need to flash stock recovery on your phone first so the Odin package completes with no problems. This will also be a tar.
Then u will flash the stock ROM tar
After that Is complete u will be rooted and have stock ROM
Now do as I said with the goo managerapp
Here is link for stock ROM with root included...thank Mr.Robinson

And stock recovery tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1269983&d=1345396194
So download the Odin program I linked u then download the stock recovery tar. Put your phone into download mode...pull battery out put back in hold vol down home and power. Then when it tells u warning blah blah just hit up. Now connect to PC and start Odin. U should see on left side it should say "added" that means your connected. Now hit PDA find stock recovery flash it. When that's done and it reboots go back into DL mode. Now DL the rooted stock ROM package and extract it to your desktop when it is done being downloaded. Now repeat process hook to PC hit PDA find stock ROM tar on your desktop flash it make sure u don't hit anything else in Odin just PDA! Leave everything else as is. Now that should take around 8 min to flash when that is done u should be running newest ota uvalh2 rooted. Boot up and do the goo manager steps I told u to get recovery or u could use ROM manager for cwm but I do not recommend it with this phone. Good luck and don't use the super wipe anymore .....for your sake

Thank you I managed to get back to stock, reroot, reflash custom rom on new baseband.
As for the other guy telling me im not ready to flash anything. Thanks for the positive reinforcement and for your help you really did contribute SOO much to my problem.
I remember superwipe doing this when I owned the g2 it always messes my recovery.
I thought I remembered you from the G2 forums. Glad you got your phone fixed. I'm still trying to figure this phone out. Odin stuff is weird to me. I'm used to flashing. I will admit, rooting the g2 was way harder.

I actually wouldn't recommend using superwipe since it wipes your internal sd card.
Sometimes its best to do a full wipe. Especially if you are having problems.

I need help please, ive looked around on the forum for an answer to my problem but to no avail..
The story goes...
Had my lovely note 2 for a while, decided to root used (exynos abuse). (i only needed root for root explorer as i wanted to change the boot animation) i never got around to doing this.
Next thing i was on the playstore and i seen a DPI modifier, i downloaded that and set the DPI to 240 granted su permissions and the phone rebooted..
Now im stuck in the samsung logo boot loop..
Could someone please help my get my note 2 back.. im not bothered about the data on there as all this is backed up.
I have already downloaded odin, but not sure what to go from here as i am still a n00b

You could just stick a Build.prop in a Cwm zip and flash that, but u would need Cwm recovery installed to use that. If you don't have Cwm installed, then go to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
Download the file ending in .tar
Boot your phone in your download mode, open odin on your pc, and in the pda tab, select the path to the Cwm zip.
That would save u from having to flash a stock rom, and u would still keep all your user data.
If u need help making a Cwm zip, i can send u one with a Build.prop later today.

Hi,
If you changed the build.prop back to 320, then the build.prop might not be the only problem. I guess the DPI editor you used must have changed some other things in the rom.
I will attach my build.prop here , so try pushing that to your phone, and see if it boots, if it doesn't boot, then the DPI must have changed some other things somewhere on yhe phone, and you will have to flash a stock rom.
Here is my build.prop
http://db.tt/4idemf7B
Try flashing that, if it doesn't work, then you will have to just flash a stock rom with Odin.

Here is my build.prop
http://db.tt/4idemf7B
Try flashing that, if it doesn't work, then you will have to just flash a stock rom with Odin.

Hey man thanks again for your help, i pushed the build.prop you provided and still nothing.. im downloading the stock fw now on my works connection so its taking forever (12mins left) so i will flash the stock fw to it.
I understand that i stick the phone in download mode.. open Odin, plug phone in. chuck the .tar into the PDA box and hit start?
What do i do if after flashing the stock fw its still stuck on a boot loop???
I do have the phone insured so i can swap it at the store, but due to the holidays that wont be until the end of next week and i need my phone for work... plus im enjoying the learning curve of sorting the phone myself
Thanks again corey
It is unlikely you will get bootloop after flashing stock firmware.
Even you get it just you have to wipe it from recovery (Vol up+home+power) and wipe cache
If that won't help then you have to wipe data(factory reset) from recovery too.
But here with wiping data you will loss your data.
PS : You can flash any stock ROM.

Hi,
Before flashing the stock rom, boot the phone up in to recovery (hold home + power + volume up) and wipe data, Cache, ect.
And make sure u don't tick any box's ect in odin, as some of them can potentially brick your phone, so just leave all the check box's as they are.
Seeing u just changed the DPI, flashing a stock rom will fix it. The only way to hard brick a phone, so that flashing a stock rom doesn't fix it, us by stuffing up the /boot partition. Which is not too easy to do. And changing the DPI wouldn't do that.
Just make sure the stock rom u install is the right one for your phone (make sure the model number matches your phone). As a n7105 rom won't work too well on a N7100 ect.
And leave the phone for up to 10 min to boot up after flashing the rom. So don't try restarting ect till you have left it to boot for 10 min.
Cheers

I think this should be reserved unless he gets bootloop, to preserve data. isn't?

The data will get wiped anyway. And so will the internal sd card. I just said to do that as that's what I always do.

Go to firmwares.
Download the one for your phone.
Boot into download. Flash with odin.
The file u downlaoded is to be flashed via cwm or twrp. Not via odin. It will be a zip file. Flash the whole zip together.

the link you posted has two kernals for the i317 whats the difference? and where in odin does the kernal go? thanks again guys your all awesome
Have you gotten back into twrp recovery yet?
If youre stuck in a bootloop which it sounds like...hold volume up home button and power until device turns off and once you see samsung logo let go.
Did you make a back up before you flashed? If so restore it and youll be fine. If not then you need to remember this...always always make a backup. Every thread on here says make a backup before you flash.
And btw I dont hate noobs. We all were at one point and I remember how stressful it can be when you're unsure of what youre doing amd think youve bricked. Pm me if you need help. As long as either you can get into recover via the method I said above or alternative method is plug you phone in your pc, open up cmd prompt in then folder you put all your android root files. (Hold shift and right click in a blank space in the folder, then go to open command propmpt here. Then type in:
adb reboot recovery
That will also get you in recovery.

Before you guys read this thread, let me just go ahead and say that i AM in fact a XDA noob... so dont hate. I didnt come here for that, but i came for help. Now, i did notice that there were alot of people having similar problems as i was. And yes, i did read all those threads. BUT, the only difference was, they got that error while trying to unroot. I was trying to root mine. I simply tried flashing CWM (and yes i made sure it was the correct flash as well) and it failed. Tried rebooting the phone, and i got that error. I am honestly freaking out right now as to if i have lost my phone or not, so i wouldnt appreciate hate in the comments, that would not help. So please help if possible... Is there a way to fix this?
We're you on stock Rom. How did you try a put CWM on your phone?? Odin??
Best way to install a recovery is Odin or goo manger!!
If you can get the phone into download mode then you can just flash back to your stock firmware...
Unless you flashed the wrong recovery on your phone. Then your in store for brick city.

thanks, i was actually on odin. But i think i found the solution. You see, when i was trying to find a solution on my own, i accidentally ended up installing a verizon rom on my phone which is att. (i didnt know it was verizon) The rom works, but i cant use mobile data, because its not a verizon SIM card. However, i managed to install TWRP recovery with goomanager, and from that i will attempt to install the JediXP14 custom rom. Strangely, it seems the phone is rooted even though i was told it failed. I will let you know on the progress, should be done in an hour or so.
Oh boy..... I smell brick city.. You better be careful what ur doing with Odin... If u are flashing stock firmware in Odin it flashes the radio with it....
Ok guys, i SOMEWHAT resolved the issue. But there are alot better ways of doing it, i was just forced to do it the following way:
The only flash rom i could get to go in through odin was a Verizon rom. It was basically the stock Note 2 rom for verizon.
Now the only problem with this, is that obviously, my phone is ATT and this is a Verizon rom, but it WILL work, but with an exception. Wifi and all will work, you can call and receive messages, but you cannot access the internet via mobile data. So that was another issue that popped up. I tried flashing an att stock rom through odin, but it stayed stuck at "Setup Connection" so that didnt work. The only solution i could think of was to unlock the rom, so i could use data with my ATT sim card. Strangely, the phone thought that it was a Verizon phone when it was an ATT phone, so that was the only option. It required a root but that wasnt a problem. I installed Hidroid off the play store and unlocked it that way, and now everything works fine. There is still an error message in the status bar saying "Non-Verizon SIM" but despite that message, everything still is in working order. If anyone knows what to do once you first get that error message, you could post it below for anyone else having the same problem. And if there is a way to change it back to the normal ATT stock, that would be appreciated as well. Thanks

Maybe you just need to flash att modem with ril for your device. Scroll down and dload the one for att then flash using cwm or twrp. After flashing modem try flashing att rom again via Odin.

Ok guys I resolved the problem. But it took more steps than it needed. This is for people who accidentally flashed the wrong type of recovery to your phone (example, gt-1700 version of cm what on sgh-I317) I'll be renaming this thread if I can. So here's all the steps I took. Now keep in mind that I didn't exactly know what I was doing so I kind of learned on the way, like I said in the beginning of this thread, I am a noob, and I admit such.
1. Install any rom that is in md5 format (preferably with your carrier modem but anything will do) I used a verizon rom. I can't exactly provide a link given my user status though, but I will when I can.
2. If you don't have wifi and downloaded rom under incorrect modem, then download hidroid on the play store and unlock it. It should be simple once getting the app. This will allow you to use mobile data. You'll need it.
3. Download goomanager
4. Press menu button
5. Install open recovery script
Now you should have TWRP installed on your device.
6. Install any custom rom compatible with your device, but make sure it comes with the correct modem as your phone originally had.
7. Flash it through TWRP (make a backup first)
You should be done from there. Now I don't recommend this. There has to be an easier way, so it would be great if anyone could provide that below. But the steps above are the steps I took. Thanks
