Sgh-i777 trying to reload firmware

[edekalil]

A girl I knows sgh-i777 crashed and only the Samsung logo would come up. It would not go into recovery. I tried using Odin 3.09 and the I777UCLE5 file and it would start then fail. I am not sure what I may be doing wrong.

Boot into recovery (hold power and both volume buttons until you see the Samsung logo, then release), and Factory reset it.

Should work then.

If you try the three button combination as Steve suggested, and you are unable to boot into recovery, or if you are able to perform a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery but it doesn't help, then post back with details of the phone's behavior, and we'll try to help you troubleshoot the problem.

The phone would not go into recovery. I used Odin 3.0.9 to flash it but it only whent so far and would fail. No the phone does not boot to the Samsung logo but another screen saying that the phone had been flashed but did not take or something to that and to try flashing again. It does go into Odin download mode. It appears that the phone and Odin program are communicating so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Do I need to use an older very of Odin or another version of software? I am also using a laptop with windows 8.1 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help.

I only have a minute now. I'll check back later this evening.

Use Odin v1.85 and flash the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean).

Both are available in the Download Repository, see my sig.

I'll give it a shot thanks.

When I go to download the i777UCMD8 firmware my pc says there may be viruses and even when I choose to download it it is placed somewhere in my pc and I cannot find the file. I did not have this issue when I downloaded i777UCMD5 . Still trying to figure it out though.

If you are downloading to Windows (7, 8.1 or 10) it will be placed by default in the Downloads directory. You should have a link in your File Explorer, or the path is C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Downloads.

If you have a failed flash in Odin, it will almost certainly be because of the connection between the computer and the phone, so either the USB port on the PC, the cable, or the microUSB port on the phone.

Thanks I will see what I can figure out.

The usb cable is fine, when I go to download the firmware I777UCMD8 the adg virus program will not let me download it because it says there is a virus. and I am going to your links to the firmware. When I started to flash the other firmware something had to do something because the phone starts up it saysFirmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I cannot also get the Odin 1.8 file you have it wants to install some kind of other software and not Odin 1.8 . I cannot figure why all of most downloads I need are not working. The Odin program I have failes at factoryfs.img

Boot into recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset if you are able to at this point. To get into recovery, hold down all three buttons of vol+ vol- and pwr until the Samsung logo appears, disappears, and appears again, then let go of the buttons.

I think you must be using AVG antivirus? If so, right click the AGV icon in the system tray in the lower right corner and select disable for 10 minutes or something similar, and then go download the file. There is no virus in the file, and it is safe to download, but sometimes the antivirus programs will flag certain types of websites and downloads. I would prefer that you try to install the UCMD8 firmware before we attempt to troubleshoot any issues.

Whatever steps you take from here forward, please describe them and the results you get, including copy and paste here the message box from Odin.

The link for Odin v1.85 in the Download Repository is a direct download link. When you click on it, you should get a blank browser page that has a google.com link in the address bar, and a download box at the bottom of the page. The downloaded file will be Odin3-v1.85.zip and is 203,676 bytes. Open it with an archiving program.
