  This is for those who brink their device during the installation of new ROMs, custom recovery, etc, this is soft brick solution is available, it will restore the phone to stock firmware, which means it will also void the root, so you can try this firmware…..since every new firmware void the root access on the phone, you have root the firmware again…

there is no SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar file in the stock firmware zip file. The only files in the zip were: boot, param.lfs, recovery, and system.img.ext4

My phone was running Cyanogenmod 9 jellybean, and it wouldn’t let me mound my SD card so i deleted it and installed this on it… now all it does is continuously restarts and there is no way to access the custom ROM program on my device…. And the ODIN download didn’t work i just used the program that came with a root program.

  reboot phone into recovery mode, to do so power on while holding down BOTH volume buttons when NOT plugged into the computer USB (because this is also the way to get into download mode),,,in recovery mode perform wipe, select the wipe data/factory reset, and confirm on the next screen then, select “Go Back” after that select “Reboot System Now” to reboot phone…it should reboot your phone into normal mode now….

    I’m having the exact same problem as John Tru.
    My phone is stuck in a loop. it says samsung then the android and repeats itsself.
    
    I tried following your advise about putting the phone in recovery mode but nothing I do seems to work.
    other people in forums have this same problem. is there some other way to access recovery mode?

This was weird, it kept my apps installed and everything. I wasn’t bricked but this is the same steps for downgrading and going back 2.3.6 and then update to 4.0.4. This does not wipe cache or dalvik, doesn’t wipe apps, it’s almost like it does nothing but change the OS Rom. I still have text messages and call logs too in tact. There has got to be a cleaner option before running this to wipe clean.
