I897UCJH7 - OTA System, Kernel, Modem - Clockwork Flashable - Rooted

Hey guys, I see some of you are bricking or not being able to update.
You can use this to flash to I897UCJH7 OTA.
Use Clockwork recovery to flash it...
Cognition is currently being rebuilt on top of this, deodexed and all that fun stuff.
This flashes the system folder, kernel, and modem.

Let me know how the GPS works for you guys!! I have gotten it to lock in my basement!!

Could you tell us what differences are in this and the JH7 we've had for a while? I assume the GPS is supposed to work better but anything aside from that?

Thanks DG! I've been looking for this.

Thanks so much for this!
Quick question though... if my phone already says it is at JH7 even after a 100% OTA update and had the Update Failed message, could I still flash this with Clockwork and have it function properly?

Tested and it works! thanks!
If I do encounter problem, I'll let you know.

Should I wipe data and clear cache prior to doing this? What are the implications of wiping my previous rom.
I am getting installation aborted from Recovery Mode. Any suggesstions?

Mmm I'm not sure but... mine was stock ( did odin ) before I flashed this.

if a battery pull doesnt get it to work, then I would reflash JF6 with Odin, flash this JH7 OTA with Rom manager.
Im about to try to disable lag fix first, then flash and if it bricks it then ill flash to stock JF6 first.

Thank you DG. I needed the update because for some reason the one click installer thing wouldn't allow OTA updates. But your one click installer is still a huge help when needed.

First, breath, you are not bricked yet. Search in here for odin one click. Follow the instructions. You will most likely need to do method 3 for your download mode. (remove battery, sim, sdcard /replace battery /hil vol+ and vol- while simultaniouslyplugging in the usb cable) Once you get flashed back to stock you can try again.

Sigh after so many tries to update I went back to cognition with leaked jh7. Guess I'll be flashing again once I get off work tomorrow.

[Q] New to this phone (I9000)

Hi I just bought this phone and im getting very confused with all the instructions everywhere for this phone. So far i've only managed to root it. It's on default Froyo 2.2.1. Im trying to install Frugu (kernel) with the voodoo additions and then onecosmic's ICS. But im so lost with what to do. Used to be easy with the xperia x8. Could someone show me in the right direction?

Go to Sammobile.com and download stock gingerbread rom. Install using Odin. (Instruction can be found on sammobile and xda forum just search). Make sure u have three button recovery mode. After installation via Odin look for a kernel (semaphore or chainfire's kernel)with clockworkmod and flash via Odin.
The remaining steps for installing ics can be found on the various threads.
Hope this helps

i suggest you to flash teamhacksung's port of ICS, i have it and it's awesome! my friend try onecosmic's port and have problems..

ICS is brilliant but if you want reliability and good battery life. Any 2.3.6 rom is good. Especially mintberry Miui. Just an Opinion. I'd explore different custom roms to find the perfect one for you. Btw if any flashing goes wrong and you. Think you have bricked your phone, but download mode is great for sorting it. (power vol down home), thanks.

Thanks for the help agbemenu, but im stuck again. I can't get Fugu or ICS to install in CWM. Whenever I try it cuts out, reboots and then is stuck in a bootloop. So I then have to reflash GB and semaphore to get a working phone again.
EDIT: AntAust1513 The main reason I bought this phone was to try out the ICS roms . Battery isn't much of a concern
EDIT2: I finally got it to work. Turns out I forgot to reset to factory defauls. After this it installed Glitch in ICS, rebooted, installed ICS, rebooted into ICS, asked to reset. Resetted it again then it took about 5 mins and it booted into a working ICS. Thanks for the help guys! =D
EDIT3: No GSM. I did flash the fix provided but I still get no GSM -.-. Any ideas?
EDIT4: Got that working by reflashing Fugu and resetting to factory. Damn its alot to get this working xD

Bricked Galaxy Note! Please Help

Hey guys, I think i may have bricked my SGN.
I rooted via adb and then flashed the abyss kernel followed by stunner ics rom. But when i restarted through CWM the phone never restarted and now it won't even turn on. No download mode either and i've tried every possible trick including the wall outlet.
Phone won't turn on at all. Is this considered hard bricked and has anyone found a solution to this. Will a USB jig work on this.
Also, the stunner ics 4.5 beta showed successfull at CWM so i'm not sure what happened. Battery was fully charged too.

Try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back again and try entering download mode again.

What's sky ics rom?

You didnt follow the instructions ti install the rom so you now have a brick
Try pluggingn it top the pc , if you hear some noises on the pc then your noté is alive

Well, did you try a USB-jig to force your Note into Download-Mode?
Than you should be able to flash a stock and start over again.
Did you let your Note do the first startup at his own, I've read that the first start may took a bit longer and shouldn't be interrupted?

Well, i was in CWM and then installed the rom then pressed restart phone on CWM menu. Went downstairs and when I came back it didn't turn on.
if it doesn't turn on at all is it a hard brick?
I ordered a usb jig from amazon for $7.00 and it will arrive tomorrow, I heard the usb jig only works on soft bricked phones though and since mines won't even turn on will there be any chance at all of it working?

Hey guys I just realized what went wrong. I download the N7000 Galaxy note roms and kernels instead of the i717 (ATT) versions. Stupid me!
Has anyone ever had success getting a fix on this? If not would I be able to go to an AT&T store and just get a new one? What should I tell them. Please help

Default Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER
4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2
5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.

thanks for the help. i read that on another post and already tried it. unfortunately its a no go.
Just came back from att center and they said that they couldn't replace it for me on the spot because they don't have the phone in stock since its a newer phone. I gotta call the number they gave me now.

Sorry you've run into such a serious issue, but in a few way it's probably quite a good thing it's a hard brick.... It's likely you would have had a raised flash counter and the fact they can't power it on there and then is a bit of a God sent.
Hope you get a replacement soon mate :thumbup:

First of all I think It wouldnt have raised the binary counter and give triangle because you didnt use Odin to flash (Am I right?).
Second thing Thought it had given you a triangle since your phone is dead.
So they cant find that you flashed a custom kernel or the binary.

Siyah kernel 3.1RC6 and BRICKED GALAXY S2

On 22.4.2012 many people bricked their S2 while performing full wipe having Siyah kernel 3.1RC6.
What disappointed me is the update on development coming from developer in real hurry these days.
Developer need to test their development 1000 times before releasing it to users.
As a rule only we the user are responsible flashed kernel knowing the risk of RCs and BETAs.
We can't blame developer for this disaster.........
This thread is for those who bricked S2 and now are in process to recover their devices.
As a general habit, posts on bricked devices can be avoided easily by fan boys.
So now we need to help each other in the process of device recovery.
Please discuss here, what you are doing, any fix whether you found or not.

Thanks for the info buddy. I'm in RC6 only. I was planning to do a full wipe and try out a ROM, and luckily I saw your post. Do let us know if you find a fix (for bricked phones). So can I just flash Siyah v3.1 and this problem will go away?

of course you can flash 3.1, it solves the issue. only the last updated rc6 had the problem. IF you are on rc6 better flash the updated kernel before doing any factory reset/data wipe to be in the safer side.
So did any one had a chance to solve it without going to service center??

I'm one of the "lucky" owners of a bricked-by-Siyah phone
I tried to flash a stock rom with odin but it doesn't work. I tried with:
- KI3, which is a 3-file-fw + .pit. The flash process hangs on data.img
- ILA2, which is a 1-file-fw. The flash with Odin is successful, but the phone can't boot and stays on the "Samsung Galaxy S2" screen all the time.
The only way to access recovery I found is to flash rogue recovery, but it can't mount internal sdcard so I can't flash anything

Yes I can access it, but the internal sdcard is never mounted so I can't use my phone... I hope somebody will find and share a fix for this problem :-(

Unless the hardware is damaged, every full-bricked Galaxy S2 can be recovered witha J-tag repair.
If one does not have the hardware hardware to perform such a repair, he has to either purchase it or find somebody that has it nearby.

Bricked means dead in this case, you can't do anything with dead piece..

Well this just reinforces my belief to stick with stock kernels.

Does anyone know how to find a jtag service in korea, seoul? my phone is fully bricked and i need it back asap ....

phone soft bricked, tried odin didn't work

The vibrant i was rooting needed to be reverted back to stock in order to root. I launched odin and download mode on the phone and put in the tar and pit files to revert it to stock. After doing this, the phone was soft bricked, when i turn it on it only shows the Vibrant screen and then turns off and on again. Recovery mode won't boot up, it gives a fuzzy screen, however Download mode still works. I tried multiple times to use odin and flash a stock rom again, but it resulted with the same vibrant screen turning on and off again.
I reinstalled and updated drivers, tried using the command prompt to launch recovery(this led to "error:device not found"), tried one click unbrick programs, all to no avail.
Is there any other solutions? Thanks

I am not the original asker but I as well have a problem and I don't want to start waves of simillar questions. Soft Bricked my phone yesterday by overlooking a most likely common mistake. I flashed CLM Recovery but accidently selected the wrong model UGHHH! Now I get the T Mobile Screen and I can get into download mode, thats it. I am aware of this Vibrant AIO ToolBox but Im not sure how it works and I am aware of ODIN which I have also never used. I downloaded ODIN and it does recognize my device. It looks pretty simple to use although I may be wrong. One of my major problems is I can not download any Stock OS Roms because the range at about 200mb and I am currently staying with a relative that has dial up. I dont know if I could get something faster through email. What I would like is step by step instructions on how to get my phone back to stock or somewhat functional. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we all know how hard it can be without your phone. Thanks, J

Head over to the SGS 4g section and look through the stickied threads. They should have the files you need as well as instructions. The steps for your device are probably identical to the vibe but I don't want to steer you wrong. Your biggest problem will probably be getting Odin to recognize your device. Try different USB cables and different com ports. You might have to manually load drivers on the computer. Good luck.
No tickee, no laundry!

Be careful with odin
what stock are you trying to flash? 2.2.1 or 2.2? Because some stock can fry your motherboard, like my vibrant, and then the phone is unusable....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds like a brick, sorry.
Try plugging into charged and see what you get.
You also might try a jig to see if you can get it back in DL mode. Also try heimdall one click.
If all else fails go to
www.mobiletechvideos.com
They do JTAG repair and also sell the jig.
