This procedure will get you back to stock JPU ROM via Odin and Download Mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10449932&postcount=7
Then once your phone is working again you can go ahead and flash to a custom ROM which I'm guessing you know how to do. Let me know!
Ok dude I`m doing it now, fingers kriss crossed!!!
Ok this happened....
I took usb out, restarted pc, then phone went into recovery mode, I did a factory/data wipe, same with cache, was about to restart phone, now there`s a white box with an orange arrow comming out of it and a little green android man?
I pressed menu button, it brought up recovery, I restarted, went passed the white logo screen to swirling S logo screen, also played music, now at black screen....
Still in black screen but every 20 or so seconds it vibrates once then 3 quick times???
After sometimes it is required to do a factory reset to get it working.If your flash was succesfull try to factory reset it in recovery mode.
Tried Odin again and got the same error, so when I get into recovery mode I should factory reset everything?
Tried to get back into recovery from download mode and got the bricked screen!!! Its hopeless now is`nt it
I can still get into download mode.....
I dont really get what you are trying to do.
Can you get in recovery mode and do a factory reset???
I was in recovery and did that and it got to the swirling S logo screen then screen went black, vibrated once then 3 short ones every 30 or so seconds and thats it, it did`nt go any further.....
I keep getting a FAIL when I try to flash using Odin
I notice when I`m putting in the info in to PDA PHONE CSC areas, I dont see where I`m supposed to use this..
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
I followed it all step by step, or i dont see it in the steps
Hmm i had that screen many times but always able to flash with Odin.Are you sure you got the drivers on your pc?Make sure that you havent Kies running,on try or in backround,or any other program that is used to connect your phone.Also its always good to use a free USB port on your pc,and by saying free i also mean that it not one of the front panel USB cuz those ones sometimes are shared.
Start at the beginning .
Available

Recovery mode yes or no

Still though,he should be able to flash even without modem file...
I m wondering if he clicked repartition or not.My guess is he didnt,so its stuck untill he does repartion.

Repartition was checked, should I put the modem one in the phone section?
2. Open Odin AS the Man said .
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
I`m still getting a FAIL on it.
I download that Odin, reinstalled the Samsung drivers and disabled anything related to the phone.
I tried it even without the sim car and sd card in cause I read one post that had tried it and it worked.
From the instructions it looks like I`m using 3 of the 4 files download, remember that modem one.
I definitely have to use that same file twice for PDA and phone?
I followed these instructions to the letter...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/xda-developers%20-%20View%20Single%20Post%20-%20[Q]%20i9000%20can%20not%20boot.htm
I`m not sure which one is the right Odin to use, but I tried the both of them and still the same results.
There both v1.30, the gt-p1000 is the one from the previous post..
I`m even trying different USB ports...
Ya fuppin BEAUTY, I did it, I put into the phone section in Odin that modem file and here`s what I got...
NoW I have fireware 2.2.1
Baseband jpu
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build
Froyo.xxjpu
Is this the new froyo?
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Is this the new froyo?
Says Froyo
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
On your own head be it all i have done for a week is answer borked post all using this rom .
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Probably flash via Odin you will need to search i dont have a link .
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
Its probably on Darkys front page as is Clockwork .
Install sd card update zip CWM twice to get to 2e .
jje
Ok first of all I want to thank the 2 of ya`s for all your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Now that I`m up and going for some reason my pc does`nt see my phone even tough it says I`m connected on my phone?
I restarted my pc, reconnected phone nothing...
If its not one problem its another...
Hi guys
I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to flashing a rom such as ICS or any latest rom that is available for my Galaxy Tab so i really need help with this to avoid problems. First how do i know whether my galaxy tab is GSM or CMDA ? i checked my WIFI settings and it says GSM/WCMDA what does these means ? I can use 3G if you needed to know.
And what tools and applications do i need ? to flash a rom such as ICS or any latest stable rom. i just factory reset my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 already as it's causing problems for me such as freezing everyday and restart by itself.
Currently my Galaxy Tab is on 2.3.3 GingerBread Android. The stock version of it was Froyo i guess that is 2.2 right ? and yeah i updated my tab from Kies few months ago to gingerbread of course. And yes i already rooted my Galaxy Tab few months ago but i just factory reset it today i guess the root is gone now ?
What are the latest and stable ICS/JB version for my Galaxy Tab GT P1000 ? please do guide me to successfully installing them.
hope someone is able to help me with this as i am going to flash it today.
thank you very much
Edit is highlighted by blue font. Mistake highlighted by red font.
I was just about to write a guide for my niece, here goes: -
Please read other guides to be more understanding of flashing. Below is a quick step only. Just in case the good long guides are too long and too complex. Hopefully with a short guide + long guide, it's easier and cover both sides / requirements. Sorry that it was too short for dc2mx, hope he recovers well.
pre-requisite. --->>> magic action.
Hold power button 8 seconds and it will FULLY SHUTDOWN. Don't let it be ON whole night. Battery does not charge during DOWNLOAD mode and not charge in RECOVERY mode. That's why I write in step 16 about this magic 8 seconds fully shutdown.
Hold power button 4 seconds and it boots up.
Hold power button 12 seconds will shutdown then boots. Not adviced. Because it becomes boot-loop.
OK, may some filenames are wrong, but they carry the same meaning. Hence please forgive my short-coming or spelling mistake or naming error.
make sure battery is 100% charged up.
no need root, hence skip rooting step.
download this file >>>GB-Stock-Safe-v5<<< link is provided another time by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981 - thanks thanks thanks to priyana priyana priyana.
make sure to install USB driver first, then plug in TAB to PC, wait few minutes to let it recognize, install and stable_lise <<<stabilize>>>. Takes time. No need to copy anything into it. This is just to ensure that the drivers were installed properly and that it successfully recognized the device so that FLASHING can be carried out.
reboot holding VOL_DOWN to go into DOWNLOAD MODE. You should see the word DOWNLOAD with a big triangle symbol.
direct use Odin software to flash the >>>GB-Stock-Safe-v5<<< OVERCOME RE-STOCK version 5 (the file is TAR format), download link above. See more details somewhere else. Sorry for being lazy uncle.
make sure to select a file named <<<<mr.pit>>>> for the pit section, MUST.
select the <<<<rom file.TAR>>>> format for PDA <<<I wrote WRONG previously into phone section|>>>, MUST. Very terribly sorry to dc2mx and anyone else affected.
select <<<<modem.bin>>>> for phone section else can't call, but not need now, later will have, can skip. Unless you wanna stick to 2.3.3
tick 3 items, A = re-partition, B = auto-reboot, C = F.reset.time. MUST.
click FLASH, wait 2.5 minutes, finished, auto reboot. You should see the USB connect YELLOW highlight successful before able to click FLASH.
then reboot again into Download mode and Odin again to flash the KERNEL only <<<002001-Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar>>> because it contains most importantly CWM (clock work mod), which is a TAB_self_rom_flashing. (newbie term).
Then download a CM9 or CM10 or whatever you want. as for me, as of writing I'm using alroger's 8th November version. Thanks to alroger, humeros, cdesai, and so many more.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869477 Put into TAB's internal sdcard. Fastest flash. My external SD is cheap type, hence slow.
Flash it via reboot holding VOL_UP to go into RECOVERY mode. Select the file/rom that you chosen.
You'll see flash progress go to 10% then reboot.
Then reboot loop non stop. Hold power button for 8 seconds for it to shutdown fully.
Why? because flashing the first 10% puts in a new kernel with new MTD partition and everything behinds it can't recognize it, can't find it hence boot loop.
Enter RECOVERY again, reboot holding VOL_UP. If failed again. Don't worry, keep trying, I had to try 10 times. My first manual reboot went into CWM successfully but I didn't understand and realize, hence did not flash the file again. Then reboot normally, obviously it just boot-loops. Tried to go into CWM the 3rd time but not succesful, it just boot-loops. try so many times, with full shutdown and wait many minutes in between. I think around 10 times or more later went into CWM finally. God bless.
Reboot again into RECOVERY and flash one more time and WIN, DONE.
finished.

Hi thank you for providing with this guide but it doesn't answer any of my questions i am asking but anyway, i am confused with step 4 i have already downloaded GB Stock Safe V5 from the thread you linked. what do you mean by install and Stable_lise ? i have my USB Cable connected to my Galaxy Tab and it shows as Removable storage. What do i need to copy in it ?
If it's possible can you provide much more detailed and clearer instructions ? which are definitely newbie proof.
EDIT: Nevermind i got what you're talking about but i did those 11 steps then now Odin says FAIL on the application about something unable to write partion or something like that. now my Tab is frozen on Do not turn off target screen, Did my Tab just got bricked ? how do i restart it ?

can you provide links to the files?

oh, and I suppose that "stable_lise" refers to stabilize?
See my signature for overcome new links.
(Actually same as his link)
It is GB stock safe v5, should no be called Overcome version 5.

So i was unable to turn it off. it was out of battery today, thought it might turn on if i charge it back. but i was both right and wrong it does boots up but now it gives me a Phone and a yellow /!\ Computer icons now, Anyone knows what is happening ?

Hi there. The phone-exclamation-pc thing is another download mode.
At least you still have your bootloader.
Just make sure in the mean time you powered it off and charge it for over 4hrs. You don't want the power to run out.
In the download mode, is Odin detecting the tab? if so, you should still have very good chance to revive it.
Now, question:
- did you use Odin v1.7 included in the GB-stock-safe-v5 package or using other? Remember it is important to use the correct Odin version.
There should be little reason for the flash to fail on repartition if you follow the guide. If you haven't got it, see my signature, and go there to get the PDF guide and jump to page 7.
If you have already followed exactly, then there is a chance you have a damaged internal NAND chip. There are ways to go around that, but lets not go there first.

Yes, i already connected my tab to power charger now. Of course i used Odin v1.7 that is included in GB-stock-safe-v5 package. but during Odin process i waited about 5mins then i went to see how is it going, then there's a FAIL in red above the first box. and my Tab is stuck a Do not turn off target mode.
I only did those instructions cx5 provided. So now i am stuck with Phone /!\ Computer icons screen. What am i going to do next ? And do you mean this guide ? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1 if yes, i haven't read it yet.
This is what i did yesterday i downloaded GB-Stock-Safe-v5, Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar, and CM10 P1000, md5sum: 157da0dc187216fa924da45182e1307e
What are the differences between P1000L and P1000N ? which CM10 files are right for my tab ?
Are these files that i am going to need ? please do refresh this thread every 5 mins or so. since i need help i will be here too. thank you
UPDATE: OK i just connected my Tab to power charger. but when i unplugged it. it turns off. i guess i need to leave it there for 4 hours to charge it ? i can't check whether Odin are able to detect my tab since i unplugged it and it turns off.
UPDATE2 Hmm my tab is blinking, it was on Phone /!\ Computer Icons screen. but now it's blinking, i meant it went to Phone /!\ Computer Icons screen then back to black screen every 10 seconds. is this normal ?
yes, try charge for more than 4hrs and hope the power goes in.
cx5 instruction seems correct, but it is best to look at page 7 of the guide for 100% accurate placement of the files.
the P1000L/N are Latin American tab that has different touch screen driver.

Hmm ok i think i know what went wrong during Odin process. cx5 said select the rom file.TAR for phone section, MUST. but i just read this guide https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1 and it says click PDA and select GB_Stock_Safe_V5,tar and then click Phone.
i didn't click PDA as cx5 instructions didn't mention it. and that's why i am getting FAIL on Odin ?
Anyway, i guess i leave it to charge for 5 hours. then Test whether Odin is able to detect my TAB or not. see you in 5 hours later Priyana. hopefully you're online as i am not sure what to do next after Odin is able to detect my tab.
after charging, boot to download mode again, you may get that same screen like before.
In your PC prepare the Odin exactly like the page 7 of PDF.
Connect the tab to the PC and if you see the tab detected, just flash away, hopefully no error, and it should reboot itself if I am not mistaken, and you get stock GB rom.
Then just continue with the guide, to flash Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar.
After that you will have a CWM recovery, ready to flash CM10

OK so i am currently charging my Tab and it's blinking from Phone /!\ Computer screen to black screen every 10sec above. Does this screen disappear after fully charging it ? it seems that i am stuck at this screen now. but i can't turn it off and go to the previous hold Volume down and hold power button Do not turn off Target download mode.
Or Does Odin is able to detect my Tab on this Phone /!\ Computer screen too ? since you said it's another download mode please do correct me if i am wrong
yes Odin should detect it at this screen too.
If it doesn't, it will be very hard to fix.
I am surprised that you can't turn it off. Doesn't sounds so good, as it may deplete the batt completely.
Did you try to press the power button for a few seconds (5-10 seconds) to force it off completely?

Yeah my Tab was turn on for a whole yesterday. since i can't turn it off as it froze at Do Not Turn Off Target download mode. and today i saw the screen was off. then i went to turn it on but nothing i guess the battery is depleted. so i went to charge it and tried turning it on. it does boots up but now showing me this "Phone yellow /!\ Computer screen.
Okay, i just tested trying to shutting it down by holding Power button for 10seconds. but it seems that i can't turn it off. but the Tab itself is a little hot.
I have another question to ask, now i am stuck in this screen, and i have no idea it's charging or not. is this normal ? or usually it shows it's battery charging notification ?
UPDATE: It seems that my Tab is now turn off? it's not showing me the "Phone yellow /!\ Computer screen" now. it looks like it's turn off. nothing there just black
just leave it like this with the charger for maybe 8hr, since it has completely depleted before.
Battery charging animation I heard resides in the kernel.
So if the tab is flashed incorrectly, the battery animation will not be there.
It should still be charging (hopefully). The only way to be sure is to leave it charging for really long.

Ugh.. i know that it's just 5 hours+ But i was trying to turn on my tab to test whether Odin can detect my tab. but it seems that it won't power on. i guess it's dead ?
Damn i should have waited for your reply first priyana before doing anything. i just didn't do a important step which is "click PDA and select GB_Stock_Safe_V5,tar and then click Phone" instead of "select the rom file.TAR for phone section, MUST" which i thought click phone and select the tar. but it wasn't my fault as someone here posted the instructions that is misleading and missing the important step. Oh well....thanks for nothing,
Anyway, priyana, i really appreciate you are trying to help me. thank you very much buddy
Don't give up. Just continue charging. Many have experienced worst. I don't believe yours is bricked.

Erm.. i can't even turn it on so i guessing it's dead. i don't think i am able to bring it back alive though
I think I might have done it, this time. I installed RebelROM on my phone, as I was curious if it would be more battery friendly. I decided that it wasn't, and went to reboot into recovery to reinstall the nandroid I had made earlier in the afternoon. Oops. My only available recovery was CWM, not TWRP. No problem, I thought, I will just reinstall with CWM. Give me a chance to learn the new recovery, I thought. But, CWM wasn't seeing my external SD card, so I went back and forth to move the nandroid I had made to the internal SD, so CWM could see it. I also installed TWRP to the internal SD, as CWM was proving to be a pain. Unfortunately, TWRP wasn't able to access my internal SD, where the nandroid was now stored, so I tried to recover into an older nandroid. Now, though, the phone won't boot at all, past the screen that describes the phone as an Exhibit from T-Mobile. I can't boot back into recovery. I can't access the drives through the USB cord, either. Any suggestions? Skyukillparanormal has disappeared. Ironically, I'm up in his neck of the woods. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Pull the battery. After replacing, push down the power button and volume up at the same time. Hole them down for a few seconds. CWM should reappear. Either restore your recovery if it was CWM created or reflash the ROM.

Unfortunately, AD, CWM is not reappearing. I had been holding down the power and volume down keys to no avail. Now I know why. It seems, though, that the power/volume up combo has the same (lack of) effect. Am I screwed?

If that isn't working there are more serious problems. Try 2 or 3 times as it doesn't always work the first time. You can try ODIN but it's for advanced users. If you don't know how to use it probably not the best option. I hope you didn't brick your recovery because in that case that's the only option that will save you.

I tried multiple times. I was thinking ODIN might be my only option, but I would never do that myself. I will have to do some research to learn if there is someone near where I am now, or where I live. Thanks for your help. I thought we'd lost you to the S2 fora....

Well soon that will be the case but not yet! Anyway here the link to get ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2012979&d=1370213005
Instructions here:
2. With your phone powered off, go into the Download (or Odin) mode by pressing the volume down and power buttons. When the screen with the exclamation mark appears, select the volume up button. You should now be in download mode.
3. Connect your Galaxy Exhibit to your PC.
3. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe on your PC.
4. click on the OPS-Button and navigate to the folder with the extracted files and select Ancora.ops file.
5. Select the options: One Package, Protect OPS. I did not touch the Auto Reboot, Reset Time options.
6.Click on the One Package-Button and select the md5 file in the extracted folder.
7. Click on the Start button. The flashing process took around 5 minutes for me, at which point the phone rebooted into recovery mode to finish the process. I selected reboot the system.

Thank you for the link, but I can already tell that there will be a problem with that solution, as well. I tried over and over to press the power volume down button. I never saw a screen with an exclamation point. I never see anything until I release both buttons, at which point it starts up normally, but like I said, freezes before the rom loads, or before loading any recovery. There seems to be no difference if I hold down the vol up or the vol down button.

Just like CWM, it can take a few tries. Yeah I know that gets old but sometimes it's taken me 4 or 5 attempts before I can get the phone into download mode. Don't give up until you're sure there is nothing to be done. It really just sounds like a soft brick to me.
Maybe if all else fails just say the hell with it, and if you can, get the Galaxy Light on HSN ($150). They'll let you pay in installments if you can't/don't want to pay all at once. You won't be able to root it just yet since it's new, but man maybe it's for the best. At least you will not be able to brick that phone! It has JB on it anyway.

Soft brick is what I was thinking, too.
Man, that Galaxy Light is perfect! I have been looking for exactly that phone for a while. When did it come out? And paying in installments makes it even better. Plus, I've now learned my lesson. When I do root that phone, I will be more careful about my flashaholic tendencies. If I get it, that is. We'll have to see.

Came out in just the past couple of months. The hardware is so much better than the Exhibit. Again keep in mind, there presently is no way to root it and there are no custom ROMs right now. Activity on XDA for this device has been pretty light, only downside to this phone and the main reason I passed on it.

I understand about there being no xda activity. That's a consideration. With 8 GB of internal storage _plus_ a removable SD card, though, I can't see bloatware being a problem for a bit. By then, the Slimroms guys will have gotten ahold of it and put together something, I am sure. Can I live with stock jb? Can I even pick this up? Hmmmmmm...... Food for thought.

You should be able to restore the nandroid. Since you have CWM working again, you can always do a full wipe & flash the ROM again if that doesn't work.

I got everything going to the point where I was to select the md5 file. There was no md5 file in the Odin folder I downloaded and extracted. Where should I look for the md5 file to restart the phone? It also seems that ODIN doesn't recognize that the phone is connected. The phone says it's in ODIN mode, but the program isn't showing any indication that the phone is connected. Thanks.

Wow, then that means you don't have the Samsung drivers installed. This is getting more complicated. You'll have to have the drivers installed for this device. Unfortunately it might be too late because after you get them installed to your PC, you have to connect your phone and it would have to be in a usable state for the drivers to finish installing if I remember correctly.
Anyay you can still try it, here's the drivers you need: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T679DBBTMB?

Actually, all is not lost. The drivers have been located and installed and the phone is now detected. Exactly which boxes are checked on the ODIN panel? You had mentioned that you didn't touch two of them (Protect OPS and Reset Time, I believe), but those were already selected when the program started. Right now, all 4 options are selected. Is the CWM .tar file all you need for the One Package link, or is there something else?

Error message saying an unnamed file was not found and operation terminated...
edit-never mind. it's fine. it's doing its thing....
It says "pass" and the 5 min timer is done, but the phone has not rebooted. Is there something else I need to do? Auto-reboot is selected, but it doesn't seem to be booting. Thanks.
Hey all,
I'm a noob when it comes to rooting Android phones and everything that comes along with it. This morning I attempted my SM-G920T using the Chainfire auto-root method (downloaded an application called Odin v. 3.07), got my phone into Odin mode, and did everything that was required. Then the application log just got stuck at " NAND Write Start!!!" and wouldn't go from there. Ten minutes pass, and I reboot the phone into Odin mode, and then download a different version of Odin (3.10.6 I think it was). I used the same tar.md5 file that came with the first Odin 3.07 and used it with this second version, 3.10..6. This time, the log ran the long list of commands and ended with a PASS!! Then, on the phone's screen, a little blue Android guy with an eyepatch appeared and ran another list of commands. It looked like SuperSU got installed. But that's where the excitement ended. Now my phone won't even boot past the "Galaxy S6 - Powered by Android" logo. It just keeps booting over and over again, to that same screen, and I'm not sure how to undo or correct what I did! Any info and help on the matter is definitely appreciated.
Boot into download mode again and retry, make sure on Odin 3.10 nothing is checked. Let it download and when it's done, you might have to manually reboot like I did because it looks like it's stuck on download mode.. just hold vol down home and power til it resets.. after it resets if will launch chainfire, and will reboot a couple times, don't touch it til it's fully booted.
Wow...that fixed it! Thank you so much!

are you sure this is correct verbatim? when i re-ran with auto-reboot and F.reset off, odin failed. and then it kept failing even when i tried again with them checked again. had to try a bunch of times to get odin just to pass again. now it has (w/ auto-reboot checked), and i'm back to this boot loop thing, going back forth between a blue android character screen and a b&w S6 Edge screen (yes, i have an Edge, but am guessing they are similar for this purpose). Thanks.
sorry! i should add that i gave up on chainfire and rooting here, what i'm describing is simply using odin to go back to stock. i just want the phone to work again.

Try 3.10.6 of Odin, it is currently bundled with cf auto root. 3.10 did not work for me either.
Hi.
I flashed the wrong recovery image, with the flash app. Now my S6 hangs up at the boot. Only the screen "Samsung Galaxy S6 - Powered..." was shown. I cannot turn the device off. I can press Vol- Power and Home, the S6 restarts and hang up again. I try also to get into the download menu, but it won't work. Any idea? Now I wait for the battery is empty and try tomorrow again to get into the download menu. But maybe somebody has a better solution for me?
Hi all,
I'm having an odd issue. No matter whether I used Odin or Smart Switch I can simply not flash a stock firmware. Regardless of the method, the following always happens.
Downloads firmware to device
Reboots
Shows Android dude with "Installing update"
Stops half way through
Shows Android dude with "Erasing"
Disappears after few seconds
Reboots
Nothing is changed. Same as before the whole process...

Make sure you uncheck auto reboot in Odin! Do not allow it to reboot the phone! Flash the stock firmware again and after it says success unplug the phone and immediately press and hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screen comes back on select factory reset and after its finished the phone will reboot on it's own and you're done it should work correctly.

That's because you are trying to to root it I'm guessing? You either flashed the wrong kernel, or you actually did not turn on oem unlock in developer options. You'll need to restore it back to stock and then turn on oem unlock then flash a kernel/recovery and then retry what you're trying to do.

I'm glad I back everything up to my laptop! The phone companies are locking the phones down tightly "for our own interests they say" which is BS and totally goes against what Android open source is supposed to be about!!!

What's wrong with your phone booting normal? I don't understand what you're trying to do.. What's the CSC have to do with anything?
