Once you ODIN and it boots you to STOCK recovery do a full data wipe.
Includes Factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs, modem, and kernel.

Running into a problem with Odin. I start the Odin program and then hook up the phone via usb without the battery. I hold the volume buttons and put in the battery and it takes me to Download mode, but no COM status shows up in Odin. Thoughts?

try ODIN 1.3 and 1.7 also
EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Its coming up on COM 3 now. Flashing in a few minutes. Let you know if it works or if we just bricked a brick.
yeah, samsung changed it
I can offically comfirm this works. I flashed via Odin3 v1.70 with no issues. Mad props to Krylon for all your hard work sir.
Now we just need a Recovery to get rid of the ODEX and get some BlackIce running and we'll be good to go.
Omg thanks for testing this. I will be trying it very soon myself to hopefully be able to get the phone stock and return it lol

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

You can odin a ROM that's gotten rooted so you can use quickreboot or adb to get into recovery mode, then you can use CWM from there if you had it installed already. I just had to flash an old rooted ROM to be able to get to recover my CWM backup.

To going to download mode first you must open ODIN. Assume your phone is off. Then press and hold the volume + and - then plug the USB to your PC. You should see a BIG yellow triangle on the phone said Download mode. Hope this helps.
Keymapping is changed in GB. Not familiar with your phone nut on the original Vibrant GB bootloaders now require one volume key instead of two.
Hello Everyone, This is an Instructional Odin ROM to flash Back to Factory Stock and/or Recover your Broken System.
This is NOT the firmware that the phone ships with but it is the complete official update from Tmobile that began Rolling out on July 21st.
The process is Exactly the Same as flashing the Shipped KD1 Firmware for ODIN i've uploaded In this Thread
This is 100% STOCK Odexed T839UVKG2 firmware For the Sidekick 4G and needs to be flashed through Odin. Odin is attached below along with the Sidekick 4G pit.
How to Install/Flash.
Code:
0. Download the StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 File (Find link Below)
1. Remove the .md5 tail
2. Open odin with phone not connected yet
3. Boot in to download mode using Trackpad+Vol down then power
4. Connect phone to pc
5. StockKG2ODIN.tar in pda slot, Use SK4G pit file from below in Pit Slot
6. Double check that only auto-reboot is checked (if it doesnt work the first time, click re-partition)
7. Click start
First boot may take around 3-5 mins. Wait it out and then you should be good to go.
StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 >>> DOWNLOAD
UPDATE: FOOL PROOF WAY TO GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE
ayoteddy said:
Try this, take the battery sim and sd card out of your phone.
Open odin, put the tar in pda and pit into pit.
Plug your phone into the usb.
Now bare with me, this part is a bit akward but you can do it.. hold the vol down key and trackball *with one hand* and put the battery in while holding them. You will be in download mode and Odin will detect your phone. Then flash

my 2 cents about the update
btw guys, i know alot of people has complained about things from the update but dont let that scare you. i personally didnt encounter any of them. it seems samsung or tmo cleaned it up a bit and increased the sensitivity of the trackpad, also allowing the trackpad to be disabled. They say they addressed various bug fixes but didnt state which so we'd have to see for ourselves. if anything make a backup and give it a go. i've been able to root it with the same one click root method.
the Odin went perfectly.. thanks ayoteddy. guess i'll root it and play around with the latest that Samsung/Tmo have for us..... until you guys release your next masterpiece, with these fixes baked in.
in the meantime, do you think the Bali kernel could be flashed onto this?
downloading when i get home from work!
Hey teddy. Do you plan on incorporating this update's fixes to your Smooth Maximus? This and the extended power menu and lockscreen mod will be an update to Ginger Clone?

in my experience, Set Partition should only take about 10 seconds until it moves on to the actual flashing, but sometimes it just hangs there forever. in that case I close Odin and maybe try again, or else try again without re-partition....

The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.
btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.

it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.

People need to remember that not everyone is using AT&T Infuse, gotta clarify that before posting guides.
And yeah keep the stock rogers rooted rom on your desktop, comes in handy for a quick return to stock if anything goes wrong.
Here ya go guys........an odin tar of the ota UCLA3......android...2.3.6....
Im not responsible if you mess up while using odin..
MAKE SURE RE-PARTION IS NOT SELECTED.
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
•Click PDA and select the ucla3.tar.
3. Put your device into Download Mode:• Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device. • Remove the battery. • Reinsert the battery. • Hold down Volume Up and Volume Down keys. (NOTE: It may be just Vol Down. Try that first!) • Insert the USB cable into your device.
4. You should now be at Download Mode. Click Start in Odin.

Much thanks to silver
for all the work. I used the CWM flashable ROM/Kernel/Baseband mix but I'm curious as to what the advantages are of having this in an Odin'able TAR file?
I assume flashing this via Odin for those of us who are rooted would trigger the flash counter, correct?
d/l and giving it a go...will report back.

I believe it would trip the counter, there's a kernal in it. The kernal trips the counter . The Odin .tar is best used to fix a softbrick. When download mode is the only thing you can access

I suppose yes but that aside, the explanation about soft-bricking made sense.

I flashed the CWR through odin (I thought it flashed a kernel also) since odin said 'Kernel' on the progress bar.
Ha, got me there LOL. Maybe its a stock kernal that trips the counter. Or maybe recovery has something to do with the kernal, but doesn't actually flash a new kernal. I dunno

You rock!
So just to confirm the steps per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348:
1. Download the ucla3.tar
2. Run Odin3+v1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
•Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.
•Click PDA and select the ucla3.tar.
3. Put your device into Download Mode:• Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.
• Remove the battery.
• Reinsert the battery.
• Hold down Volume Up and Volume Down keys. (NOTE: It may be just Vol Down. Try that first!)
• Insert the USB cable into your device.
4. You should now be at Download Mode. Click Start in Odin.
I assume this will only work upgrading from ucla2?
Edit:
Why is the update so large? I thought the OTA update was only 25Mb?
There is no ucla2.....this should work no matter what u are running. It will wipe your phone out. And put u on ucla3 2.3.6
Yes that is correct may i copy your odin instructions and put in op so idont have to retype them?

Sorry, I mean't to say UCKJ2 -> UCKJ3.
So is there an option to incrementally update a device instead of wiping the device ... ala the OTA update?

This will overwrite anything.

It is the complete tar file after update, not just the update itself.
For some reason when I flash the .zip of the ota and use the kernal modem combo I lose my data connection even with the apn restore. So ill try this method and hopefully it will work.
