Hi, could someone help with my phone.
Well my problem is that i cant load any firmware now after i was trying to install XWJM7 that was posted here from someone. Just followed hes guide thoroughly but still cant load any formware now. Mine is asian galaxy s i9000, so it should be running smoothly rite?
Thanks!
you are using odin?
try reading up the stickies on how to flash your firmware.
Yeah!
And nevermind, i figure it out my self anyway. Didn't know that the connection of where to put the usb data cable matters! LOL! I just transfer it in port 7, so that i get "com7" or sumthing then its all good.
So I made the mistake of trying to flash back to a Cyanogen build off of the new 4.3 ota update. I bricked my phone. I was wondering if someone knew of a way to make a debricking img of the new stock MJB 4.3 update so I could do the sd card debricking method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345860 and actually use my phone again. Or if not if someone could point me in the right direction of where to find one. Also, if someone knows where I can get an ODIN flashable file of the MJB update, that would be wonderful as well.
Yeah I effed up, but I don't really have money for a new phone right now and I kind of just need help with this. I will be really really thankful :victory:if someone helps me out.
+1 on this. Would like to test out an ATT i747 debrick img from a 4.3 OTA.
I would use Odin to flash it back to stock, I have the proper file but can not upload it here, and do not remember where I downloaded it so I am trying to find you a forum with a download link to the file. I will edit this post shortly for you with a link.
Mr.Rageface
Here is the link http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00023/E5R/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_I747UCDLK3_HOME.tar.md5 this will start your download that you can use with Odin to go back to stock. And I do not take any credit for this download I just happened to have come across it searching for a solution to fix my own phone when I bricked it I hope this helps you! If someone finds the owner of this link please give them a Thanks and credit for giving us this download.
Unfortunately ODIN is unable to see a hard-bricked phone. Can't power on, can't get into either recovery or download mode. PC picks it up as QHSUSB_DLOAD, which is why the debrick image is wanted.
I think this can be merged with the following thread though, there's a i747M debrick.img in that one but it didn't work on my ATT i747... possibly because it's an M version and/or that it's not a 4.3 OTA debrick.img. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525902

Good luck
you can use odin to flash a img.
A friend of mine brought his i747 to me to see if I can fix his phone because it was tripping out. I decided to root it and installed CM13. That however created even more trouble for the phone. It changed the device model to T999 and also the imei and baseband where unknown. I tried to return it to stock but I couldn't find any site that has the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and only found a link to 4.3. I decided to flash that with odin and the phone became unresponsive after that. Is there away in which I can find this or do I need to get a new mother board?
Where did you get the 4.3 file? Do you have the file name?

Do you get any vibrations when trying to power it on? Try to take it apart if you are comfortable and look for any physical damage if it doesn't show anything at all. Sometimes the board is damaged pretty bad but still boots, but restoring/flashing bootloader will completely brick it beyond recovery.
If it does give some response then you can look at the other unbrick threads and try em one by one. Wish you luck! BTW if all fails I have a s3 without a screen but good logicboard and stuff I can sell it to you. Or I could also buy the screen off you if you would like. Just PM me if that is the case. Anyways hope you can unbrick it.
Rooted it for a buddy using KingRoot, worked totally fine. Verified that it was working and went about our day. I didn't attempt to install recovery or anything like that because I know the bootloader is locked. For some reason, it is now saying that the software is unofficial, and to take it to a Verizon store for some damn reason. 100% sure this is an AT&T tablet, as it says SM-T707A right on the back panel, and it's on his AT&T plan.
I can't find the flashable software on either AT&T or Samsung's site...does anyone know where I can get it, or what I can do to fix this? I can get into download mode no problem. I've owned many Samsung devices in the past and it's never been as issue if you can get into download mode....but I can't find the damned firmware.
May have figured it out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/stock-kitkat-image-sm-t707a-revert-t3403934
Gonna odin back to Kit Kat and take the OTA if available back to lollipop.
Still dunno why the hell it says Verizon on the error screen though...
Reporting back in case someone finds this via search. This totally worked. It's back up and running.
Wasn't able to do the OTA, but was able to manually update to Lollipop via the zip files posted in the thread I linked above. Worked a treat.
Try this. You'll have to scroll down but it might help.
