Galaxy S2 accidentally installed wrong ROM!

[rajat85]

I have a Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 and tried to root the phone using the link mentioned in Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 (AT&T): Root and ClockworkMod Recovery It all seemed to work fine and I was even able to get a "PASS" message on my odin software but after that when the phone rebooted, it flashed a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 message and the phone is literally a brick now

I don't know why it is happening because the file I installed has the name SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel. Any way to recover the phone back to the original state?

Hey rajat85, I moved your thread to the All Things Root section, hopefully you will get a faster, more knowledgeable response that way. Thanks for understanding.

That's correct. After flashing a new kernel, it'll have the yellow triangle and give you the message that you have the 9100 version. Completely normal. I recommend that you upgrade the kernel (flash this one [KERNEL] Siyah - JELLYBEAN - ICS [v4.1.5] "One kernel to rule them all!" - xda-developers). After flashing the kernel go to CWM (which is the recovery mode) and flash a ROM (the OS) of your choice. Read that link I gave you so you know what style kernel you can use for the different ROMs available.

cheers!
