You can find resources you need for the SGH-I777 in the Download Repository. (see the link in my signature) You will find a download link there for Odin3 v1.85, which is the recommended version for this phone. Any version of Odin should work, but if having issues it is a good idea to try v1.85.

It is very unlikely that you need to use a pit file. As a first step, please try the following. You may find that this solves the problem:

Instructions to clear nand read/write corruption. Instructions are specific; do them in order, and don't skip.

Odin3 v1.85 is recommended.

1) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning

2) Flash the Tar.md5 of the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.

3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:

4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.)

5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.

6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.

If you get the phone going on Gingerbread, I would then flash I777UCMD8, which is the latest available stock, before you begin to customize again.

By the way, your English is very readable. Two suggestions: For "starting it stuks on factoryfs.img" you would write "it gets stuck on factoryfs.img" and for "now my phone is soft bricken" you would write "soft bricked".

Regards, and let us know if you get this resolved or need more help.

Skip to step 4. Follow steps 4, 5 & 6. You can get everything from the Download Repository. The stock gingerbread is the 5th item down, with the heading "I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries:". The SBL Bootloader is the first item.

Can you get into recovery mode (power+both volume buttons)? Can you get into download mode (pull the battery and plug into the PC via USB cable, then power on)? Could be the battery died also. Too many variables, but really don't believe you've bricked it. Looks like you flashed the right file.

before when i conect my phone to my pc it power up now it dont, i tryed download mode and recovery the same doesnt work, i tryed to charge the batery with a charger external and the same i really think that this is dead, however i ll still trying to turn it on .

Hope isn't lost. Perhaps try running the program again, that is if the PC will recognize the device. I can't see how you could have bricked it using the same file many have installed for over 2 years!

Edit: that last statement wasn't meant to come off in a strong manner, was just trying to convey the validity of the .tar file. Also, did you flash the Siyah kernel as well? The device will give a black screen (with the appearance of not booting) if the wrong kernel/or none is installed.

i think the bootloader is ok, that was not the problem, them about the kernel i try to install before install bootloader without succeed it stuck in wipe or something, then i restar in download mode and i install bootloader in pda with socceed byt i had the problem that it dont power up , i think maybe was a batery problem couse i dont know how much battery had the phone but i really dont know, i'm looking to sell it or change the mother board but i will try to do something before give up.
