First of all... it took me months of searching, trial and error, stopping, restarting, and getting to a solid solution to root my phone, get the latest firmware, and also have CWM.
So credit to everyone who helped in the below threads:

What you need:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B_UvqlM1EJ_yeFVIN1JUQXNRZEU/edit
1. Odin 1.87
How to use Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1160580
2. Flash SC02BOMKE3
(auto reboot, f. reset time CHECKED)
PDA: SC02BOMKE3_Daddy.tar.md5
3. After reboot, Wipe data/factory reset, clear your cache, then reboot.
4. Download the Superuser app from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/search?q=superuser&c=apps)
5. Run Superuser on the phone to test if rooted or not (the above kernel is already rooted, so it should work). Update the su in the options page and it should update and be ok.
6. Go to Settings/About phone/Software update/Check for update and it update the firmware without flashing the whole system so you get to keep your 2.3.x update and root. I had to update twice... first time i did manually and the second popped up after the reboot...
7. Download and extract "KL4_ext4.zip"
8. Flash "zImage.tar" with Odin 1.87 to get CWM on your phone
(auto reboot, f. reset time CHECKED)
PDA: zImage.tar
9. Flash "kyapaT10mod3.tar"
(auto reboot, f. reset time CHECKED)
PDA: kyapaT10mod3.tar
For additional modifications to the kernel... I do not know what the changes are as the source is in Japanese and I don't feel like having my wife read the kanji for me... but apply if you want.
COMPLETE
IF ALL ELSE FAILS: (missing dbdata... sim card not detected...)
A. Flash SC02BOMJJ1
(re-partition, auto reboot, f. reset time CHECKED)
Pit: sc02b_odin_2011112.pit
*PDA: SC02BOMKE3_Daddy.tar.md5
Phone: MODEM_SC02BOMJJ1.tar.md5
CSC: CODE_SC02BOMJJ1.tar.md5
* Yes i know that the firmware code it does not match... but it worked for me and I use this phone for work…
B. Wipe data/factory reset and clear your cache, then continue from step 2

So I flashed doing what was in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
Using thsese files (thanks robo-d):
JVU + CFROOTJVU (better than JVP):https://hotfile.com/dl/151999730/10c...FROOT.rar.html
but my sim card was not detected. tryied to flash my modem file, that failed. but then I just reflashed everything to get CWM and restored my to working condition with my Nandroid backup.
will do some more testing now... I should read more about how the modem, csc, code, etc stuff works so I dont do any pointless flashing.
But to make it clear, I did get CM9 on my phone, no problem.
Status 7 error was also solved when I flashed the JVU kernal. So the status 7 error should be there for anyone who flashes SC02BOMKE3.
My next step:
get stock firmware
CF-root it, boot into CWRecovery
check if Status 7 error exists when flashing CM9
IF NO Status 7, flash CM9 and check Simcard
IF Status 7, back to square 1.

CM9 will flash... but the sim card wont detect. But i only tried on the usa firmware... i cant find a SC02B firmware that i can flash CWM and NOT get a status 7 error when i truy to flash CM9.
I will try DK rom next as i lucked out with CM9 for the past few days.
If the process is not the same as CM9 then it may work...
Then again, after a few hours of trian and error, i noticed that when i flash the rom baseband or kernal is changed... so this would screw up any previous firmware that i am on...
Pleas note that i not a dev... i dont make any of these files... i just flash them...
I must look like a total jackass to one of these super nerds here... but hey, let the Guinea pig do his job.

no, i flashed US stuffs, and was able to flash CM9 from CW recovery.
So after reading some stuffs... the Status 7 error is proably from me trying to flash CM9 with firmware (or whatever it is called) that does not match...
same think happened with Dark Knight 5.
So I am at a conclusion that all we can do is hope someone develops a ROM for SC02B or there is something else we can do to get around this...
so for now, we are stuck with kyapas T10 mod3 (not that it is really bad... but no other ROMS)

I would get the NTT docomo boot screen followed by the GTI9000 screen, so we are on teh same page. the CM9 Nightly build works perfectly fine despite the sim card not being detected.
If I knew how to make a CF-root kernal for the SC-02b I would do it... but dont know who to get at to get the stuff needed...
ya i got that weird screen too.. also if you turn your brightness down using zdtools it will give the same effect until you increase the brightness.
that is not a major malfunction, so don't worry about it.

About the sim detection?.did u try to unlock it again?.like the number combination method?.or maybe the modem is the problem?.what do you think?.
can you teach me how to flash the CM9?.step by step pls?.tnx a lot..
thanks for the info you gave us..i thought that im the only person who wants to try other ROMs..thanks..godbless..morepower..have a good day

Requirements:
Flashing Root and CWR via Odin:
Boot into Download mode (3 buttons salute)
run Odin
choose only these 3 parts
PIT = 512
PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5
flash it (Start)
note: you do not need to change your KG3 modem for Canada

wait for it to finish rebooting, and skip all those steps in the 1st time phone wizard
reboot back into download mode again
close your previous session of Odin
run a new session of Odin
select PDA
select CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar
flash it (Start)
it will reboot again
Congratulation! if all went well you should see these in your App drawer screen
to make sure it actually works, go into CWManager, and select ClockworkMod
select reboot into recovery
if all goeswell you should be inside the orange ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
Flashing ICS AOSP ROM
if you followed all the above to this point, might as well have fun and load ICS, but first...
in CWR make a Nandroid backup of your stock JVP with KG3 modem
in CWR select backup and restore
select backup in the sub menu, i'll take about a minute or two to complete
it will automatically go back to the main menu in CWR when it's done with the backup
select mounts and storage
select mount USB storage in the sub menu
now copy & paste the ICS ROM to your phone, and optionally the Google Apps, face unlock, etc
select unmount
select +++++Go Back+++++
select wipe data/factory reset
select wipe cache partition
select install zip from sdcard
select choose zip from sdcard
in my case i installed these:
- ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip (AOSP) or teamhacksung_galaxysmtd-ota-eng.BUILD7.zip ("CM9")
- gappsv5.1.zip
optionally you can also install
- face-unlockv5-final.zip
- FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update-Beta2.zip
- bd-ics-bootanimation-flashable.zip
after the flash it will reboot on its own, let it do its ICS magic
Enjoy!

i used CWM too...
i did try the CF-root JVU files and the JJ1 modem but it failed.
I tried flashing my phone 5 times today... gonna stop at that and think about what I did.
need to start writing what I do down so I can back track so someone that knows what to do can look and give me some pointers...

gudluck my friend i hope u can figure it..i will also try another ROMs but i think Cyanogenmod are not compatible for this phone according to CyanogenWiki..did you read about the recovery 3e?.i think that sounds useful..but i didnt tried it yet..gudluck to us..c:

Well the rom is based off some firmware as all ot does is over right some files.
It did mention in the guide above that they keep a specific modem... that and in rom manager there ate several roms to download and flash.
But from my understanding, the japanes model has a one off modem just for the phone and using othe country modles wont work.
as mentioned in the guide above, Canada does not need a different modem file as it will still work.
That all makes sense... so the next step is to find a way to:
A) flash the modem file before flashing CM9
B) flash the modem file after CM9
C) integrate the modem file in CM9 so when
I tried A and B but it failed (i flashed with odin)
C would require knowledge of what a ROM actualy does when you flash it... but going back to the gude, CM9 does not overwrite the modem file when flashing it...
More or less, this would have to be a compatibility issue with the PDA, CSC, PHONE, and .pit file

No i couldnt.. There is no progress bar while flashing in download mode..
I can enter download mode but flashing stuck...no recovery..

Please try this one
1. In download mode through PC odin just Flash the single PIT file with ICS LPF stock rom (Yes you heard right) with repartition checked no other file just a single pit...
2. On success remove your battery go to download mode again and flash the whole LPF...once again with all the files (PIT, bootloader, pda csc and modem) again check repartion...It should boot with LPF.
Please confirm if it works.....

last Friday i tried to install the lpf version via PC Odin... i was on rooted lpy
it was going ok but before the end it hang at factoryfs.img & gave a message"fail!" with red color..
maybe i waited 30 seconds then i tried to restart the phone & i got screen of death "if i'm not mistaken... see the pic"
but i was lucky because i was able to enter the download mode
after that i tried to install official LPY again... failed
tried to install official LA4... failed
after that i made a fast panic searching to solve the problem...
anyways the solution was by flashing a n7000 GB bootloader & official LA4 after taking the battery out for some time...
so if u are in the same situation try it out... maybe it will help
better to wait a confirmation from an expert...
good luck...

Yes.. Im flashing for gingerbread.. But stuck happen after odin success write all ICS files to device...
This is what odin do when you flashing..
First they will write all necessary file to their partition..
After the flashing success, tab will reboot into recovery for format the /system and copying the files for CSC files...and reboot again..
SO the rest of operation its from ICS kernel..
Correct me if im wrong..

sad to see official ICS for our country effected with this annoying bug.
i even saw people do saying that the build date LPF rom is newer compared to LP9. Even though LP9 just released by Samsung.

JTAG not work..

I've always had this problem since Gingerbread when using Odin to flash fw downloaded from XDA.
My solution is shut down the phone, restart by inserting the USB Jig (enter flashing mode) and flash the kernel that I separately downloaded for rooting purposes.
It works every single time I hit such error.

maybe this can help
hey, while browsing through threads I found this

for someone with the experience to repack their own ROM ,you certainly surprise me by completely missing the stickies and tens of threads posted about how dangerous ICS is.
you flashed a with a wipe ROM? and even if not a wipe ROM ,every ROM will do it's own formatting of cache and flashing some stuff from recovery on first boot
that's the bar you saw when you flashed .
any wipe or flash from ICS kernels has a good chance of locking up the emmc of your device ,thus giving you a brick.
I'd try my luck with the warranty claim if I were you ,just make sure to reset the flash counter first.
good luck

I have tried to reset flash counter in a lot of ways but it always stayed at number "1" (After you reset with triangle away latest, opening app again shows 0 flash counter but after reboot it increases to 1). Even if my flash counter was 5, after reset it was staying with 1. Seems that samsung introduced some security improvements against reseting flash counter for galaxy s3.
But one xda member InsteadWoolf published solution to reset flash counter:
1- Reset via Triangle Away
2- Turn off phone and go to download mode.
3- Then flash via odin pc the stock firmware you want.
After this method flash counter is 0. However if you go for custom rom or not stock kernel, that red exlamation mark comes back and flash counter increases to 1.
BIG CREDITS TO InsteadWoolf

So what firmware are you claiming Samsung has hacked as i have yet to see this on any build .

i cant say exactly because didnt notice when i got it but i think with the latest BLH3 one ics. Never had this problem before, was flashing a lot via pc odin and reseting to 0 easily. And before i had even flash counter 5 and there wasnt any red exlamation mark like in the picture.

Thanks for noticing.
But, damn but what greasy screen! You should clean it more often.

it is with crap screen protector

Are you sure that has something to do with the flash counter?

Phew......
.....so glad that that **** didn't show up after flashing Jelly Bean over Odin!! :victory:
Something to look out for? What do you guys think?

I had the same issue after flashing a miui rom i had to reset with triangle away and go into download mode straight away without letting the phone boot up then flash full stock ics via odin and it reset. It took me ages to work it out i nearly gave up.

but if u flash something not official then u wont be able to reset again. This is smt new, never was like that

As i have flashed and reset at least 50 times in the last few weeks .
Reset counter with TA.
Flash custom kernel via Odin.
Nothing bar standard rom count of 1.
Run TA still nothing and counter 0 .
I wonder if something else is triggering the red mark .

i reported it in OTA thread and also to Chainfire weeks ago, but no one took notice.. if anyone wants to test, i can upload example of such sboot.bin..

yes,
here is zip with old sboot.bin (from XXALEF), this is all i can do ATM, you have to unzip it and pack in tar (quick search gave me this link for making tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777579)..
and all standard things apply i am not responsible and blah blah if anything goes wrong, flashing bootloader is a sucker and may brick your phone..

[Q] Grand 2 Duos SM-G7106 does not enter download mode

Hello,
A customer gave a Grand 2 (SM-G7106) for service, to have a custom rom & recovery installed.
I've been trying to use the method that's available in all the forums (put the phone to download mode, connect it to odin & etc...).
But the phone does not go into download mode in the first place for some reason.
Rather, when I keep holding Vol Down + Home + Power (or Vol Down + Power only) , a screen flashes to say 'Factory mode' for like 2 secs & then, I get these options
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

So, I tried, Vol Up + Power & I get these options
Please give me a solution to this.
Thanking you all in advance,

Not sure, it only came for service.
How do I distinguish between original & duplicate?
Even then, is there any solution to this problem though?

Hey buddies,
I got a 4.3 Samsung SM-G7106, with G7106ZNUANK1 from China Unicom (CHU). unfortunately, I can't root it properly. Tried CF-Root, TowelRoot and Framaroot but no luck.
I hope you can help me out guys, thanks!

May be it is super copy for grand 2,,try to chek with cpu identifier or cpu z,,
Sent from my SM-G7102

Nah, its not a supercopy, just found out that one of my friend was also using the same phone, same specs, same everything and he bought it on Samsung Store in China (He presented me with the copy of the receipt and box stuffs), so yeah, I think its a legit one since its running well on Kies also (unlike other copy phones which can't be detected thru Kies). Anyway, I found a root program from G7106ZNUANC1 and I forgot the other one, its thru SRS root, but didnt work for my phone unfortunately. :crying:
Hope someone could help me root my G7106ZNUANK1 soon!

Thanks for the tutorial buddy! Is it possible you can walk me thru it? Even though I'm kinda lurking here for quite some time, still some things are alien to me. I hate to say this, but, can you spoon-feed me the instructions in doing so? Would really appreciate your help!
Thanks! :good:

Hi.
I just got also a Grand 2 G7106, and does the same thing - chinese menus instead of recovery mode. Found a video on youtube that explained which single item does, and most are only a bunch of tests, and one for factory reset, but still with this same issue.
I also would like to know how to use odin without entering in download mode.

Hey buddy, try using SRS root software if you wanted to root your phone. If you're lucky enough that its not the G7106znuank1 model, then it can be rooted thru it. Otherwise, you'll be stuck like me. lol.. good luck! :good:

looks like i am stuck with you guys too. Have the same Samsung SM-G7106 . I tried using ODIN to install CWM. Despite Odin saying that it is PASS and device rebooted itself, when i try to go into recovery mode (CWM) it goes into default Android recovery mode instead with (write protected) ... i tried TWRP too using ODIN and it is not working. Tried both Odin 3.09 and 3.10

If you're still looking for a way to root your SM-G7106, I managed to do it with the KingoRoot app.
super simple process. It's based on Chainfire.
I should mention this was with: G7106znuank1

I have a grand 2 g7106 hard bricked and it is totally dead how to solve this problem please help.
Thanks in advance

[Q] HELP! No wifi no camera no Sound on Samsung S4 GT-I9505 after flashing stock

Why did you flash 4.2.2? My guess is your were on at least a 4.3 rom. Flash one of the latest roms. Atleast a 4.4.2 rom.

Just flash the latest Lollipop again and it should be fixed.
What do you mean Lollipop didn't work? It works, so what steps did you take?

1. Perform a factory rest now
2. Try flashing that firmware again. Redownload it just to be sure.

ok just finished flashing . the same problem persist i bypassed the boot but still can't turn on wifi also no sound no camera .what to do ?

Hi, I have same problem as neoom. After flash to LP phone doesn't make any sound at all and the camera is off. I've tried flashing with firmware from Lenny1988 twice but it didn't change anything. I've tried flashing new modem and bootloader - still no sound. Anyone could help?

Use kies tool to upgrade your phone. Go to tools, firmware upgrade and initialization, enter the model number (ex : GT-I9505 with capital letters), then the s/n that you will find on the back sticker behind battery and kies will find and restore the correct csc, will repartition your phone, will wipe all the partitions and will flash the most appropriate firmware for your phone depending on the correct region. Your wifi and camera may not work because toy have a mismatching cp and ap so let the Samsung kies do the job for you remember not to connect the phone while inputting the model number and sn but only when it tells you to connect it in Odin mode.

Kies says GT-I9505 does not support initialization.

The flashing was succesfull right? Odin gave no errors?
Then flash the firmware again only in this case with a pit and re-partition.
Get the pit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

Maybe you are using the wrong version of Kies? Use Kies3. Because as you can see in this image, i can start initialization.(i cannot enter S/N because i have the gt-i9506) but pay attention to the capital letters! Write it down as the sticker behind the battery sais!

Let me be clear - of course i used Kies3, I'm getting the messege of not supported model after entering proper serial number (checked in Settings menu in phone and on the back sticker).

Hmm that's really weird. Then try to start this procedure while phone is connected to kies. I've done this on a i9505 to friend of mine so I know that there is a way to filly restore phone. Otherwise download the official rom from sammobile depending on your country and flash it via Odin.
