Infuse 4G Kernel

I've pulled the kernel using SGS Kernel Flasher.
The file is attached for anyone who runs into issues.
The format is a standard update.zip file, assuming you can get to /sdcard place it there and reboot into recovery.

nice, love that app! didnt try that yet, figured it wouldnt work. thanks there is someone who posted in the captivate section after doing somethin stupid that can use this. is this .zip signed? or does 3e recovery need to be modded?
also i .tar'd it for odin use but having trouble attaching it.
edit: i got it attached but i wont flash it till there is a good stock rom for backup. anyone that flahes this please report the results it is as of now untested.

I tried moving the contents into a .tar and flashing in Odin as well as moving just the zImage into a .tar and flashing... Neither works to save me.
I feel like this is a brick that just doesn't want to go away!

what happened?

There were two, actually. One of them returned their phone, and I PMed the other.
I've never used SGS Kernel Flasher, all it says in the app is:
"Choose Kernel"
"Flash Kernel"
and "Reboot after Flash"
I'm guessing it doesn't need any mod, but won't know until we try. I'm not really eager to try until I have to

Have you tried just:
1. renaming the zip to update.zip
2. putting in /sdcard
3. booting into recovery
4. reinstall...​
Then again if you can't get into your phone, how can you get it into /sdcard...
Anyone have any ideas?

When I try with all contents, I get:
<ID:0/008> Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..

However, when I try flashing the .tar with the Captivate kernel I stupidly tried out, it flashes in seconds, no problem. Only thing is, it hangs on the boot screen.

i bricked mine too, played dumb. got a new one. too bad there was no rom dump available, well i found a system dump. it could be made into a factoryfs.rfs if needed, ill post that link in a new thread. but there were no csc or data or dbdata. it may be enough to build a rom from though. im not sure how to dump the other parts you would need.
warning do not try the "dump" feature in odin. it doesnt work. it may result in a soft brick but untill there is a flashable rom that's as good as a hard brick.

Please post, and if you have any info on how to get it into the right form, I can dump everything from my phone.

you didnt try any pit or repartition did you? that would not be a good idea as we dont know if the partition mappins is even close to a galaxy s.
try my attached one, i figure there is no harm in you trying it now.

Can't get into recovery. Tried volume down+power, vol down+home+power. Nothing works. I figure it's not worth it to save this one anymore.

it is kinda speculative as ive never tried it. but rfs is similar to fat32, magic iso can manipulate the images. as far as i can tell factoryfs.rfs is the system partition. im not a dev and am kinda clueless on the other stuff. i know there are scripts in the csc stuff on the captivate files. im not sure what to do about that other than mimic the captivate stuff and hope for the best.

Recovery is Vol-Up + Vol-Down + Power.
Just tried it and it worked like a charm.

did you try any pit at all? that's a bad idea all together right now. there is a post in i9000 section about how to make one. i can try it out but without data.rfs and dbdata.rfs images it is useless. still a lot to learn.

I'm not sure what good a pit's going to do if we don't know the way anything's partitioned and I never repartitioned to begin with. I'll look into it, however.

Yeah, I'm not sure that will work. I am a dev, just not an android dev. This thing will ultimately need a lag fix since its using RFS.
The problem is that what you see is incomplete. There are image files which are mounted during startup that we lose access too once the system is fully booted. Its those files we need to pull. Once we have those, we have everything we need for full blown development.
I started down this path with the Captivate but got side-tracked by life. Hopefully, I'll have some more time so I can experiment more here.
On a side note, I started doing a lag fix for this before I got distracted with the rom issues.

Yeah, noticed that. I was trying to get cwm on it instead (in hindsight, bad idea due to no roms) and read up that flashing a kernel with it on it, in my case speedmod, would change that.
Obviously not!

Trying now. As a FYI, I'm on win 7 home premium, running Odin as admin... should I be running in win xp compat mode or anything? I am sure i've tried it all already, but thought I'd ask.

Also make sure you open Odin by right clicking and selecting run as administrator.

Yes, xp mode may help too. After trying these suggestions the next step is to try from an actual xp machine.

Might have something here....
- HTC Sync Cable (the samsung one seems flakey so thought I'd give it a try)
- Odin3 1.70 version
- Windows XP SP2 Compatibility mode
It's getting further in the process than I've been able to get it the last 24 hours!

These files, but with Odin3 1.70 not 1.81 ..... some users on others phones reported that 1.70 sometimes worked magic, so with each 1.81 fail I've been trying 1.70 just in case. But using your files provided for PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC.
It hasn't moved for a it, still at about 85%... on dbadata.rfs now, which is further than I've ever gotten with this process tho... just watching it now.

Try a different Odin version too..I used 1.81 but the other two or three versions may do something different.

Seems I have better luck w\ 1.70, but still not accomplishing what I need :-(

Tried again, it failed out, but rebooted to Samsung Logo... lol... they're teasing me :-(

Ok, try this PDA file without dbdata. If it works it will be a miracle... and you will probably be running a different partition layout than stock lol.

i dont think you can repartition without the dbdata file. i believe bella92108 had repartitioned. he may need dbdata.
@bella you may also try heimdall, there is a windows version, make sure you see what dependancies it has and that they are installed (drivers, visual c++ redistributable package....)
if you do need to repartition again (not sure that you will, just think you need dbdata and other files now) but, if you do, then only do it as an absolute last resort. you would need bootloaders to repartition in heimdall and the bootloaders are untested.

Problem is he's getting stuck at the dbdata file. I suspect our dbdata partition size does not match the Galaxy S PITs. He's already repartitioned now so no way to get back to stock partitions. Only thing he can do is try to get it working with the 512 PIT. Maybe I can grab a Galaxy S dbdata file and throw it in the package if Odin does indeed require that to be in there.

well she didnt correct me, and it could be a last name.

phone has no data and will not complete an odin flash

So basicallly yesterday i tried rooting my sgs4g. I read the bible and the noob flash guide but some how i still messed up. Using super one click i was able to root the phone without any problems. I hooked the phone up to odin 1.7 and tried flashing one of the stock roms recommended in the noob guide to flashing but odin would not finish the flashing sequence and only states that the complete write operation failed. I was freaking out after about four hours and was literally trying tons of .tar files ive tried two from whitehawx off here the two from the noob guide aand no dice i dont know. i know the phone is in download mode i got that down yesterday lol but i still can not complete the flash. I have both 32 and 64 bit drivers installed on my computer but i cannot complete any type of flash. I can turn the phone on but it has no data and vibrates almost every ten seconds. It does say its still on 2.21 but baseband is unknown and kernal is stock i believe. i can pull the number when i get home. I am lost at this point im just tryilng to get back to stock or anything that makes the phone usable again. thanks in advance to any one who helps i wil donate...lol

Start with the basics - a factory data reset. See if that helps.
Also, you should not have/need both 32-bit & 64-bit drivers on your PC. That potentially is a conflict within itself. What operating system are you on? If it's 32-bit, only have those drivers. If it's 64-bit, only use those. I'd uninstall them both and then reinstall a clean set based on your OS.
Look for ODIN 1.85. It's out here somewhere. I've had more luck with it than 1.7.
Let me know how things go with this. If you're not working after trying to go this route let us know and we'll push forward.

Do you have multiple USB ports on your computer? Make sure you are plugged into one that goes directly to the CPU motherboard - one on the back. I have had issues trying to flash through USB ports that are on the front of a computer. Odin will recognize your phone, but it will freeze during flash. Just something to check.

I'm on windows 7. I have tried every usb on the laptop lol i've had a long time to try it out. So since I'm on windows 7 I should delete the 32 bit right? Thank both of you guys I'm on my way as we speak to fire up the laptop. I'll delete the drivers and search for the newer version of odin. Thank you guys again

Not necessarily. Win7 can be either 32 or 64-bit. If you're not sure, right-click on your Computer/My Computer icon, and go to Properties. I believe it tells you there. I don't have a Win7 PC in front of me so I can't be 100%.

ok i am on 64bit windows.i deleted everything i downloaded yesterday so im starting from complete scratch i also downloaded odin 1.85. I am going to try to flash the .tar that is listed in the noob guide to oden from krylon 360 [ROM-ODIN]T959VUVKB5.

I haven't looked at the KB5 ROM. Does it come with multiple files (pit, pda, csc, phone)? If so, all you should have to do is put the files in the right slots in ODIN, don't mess with the check boxes, and flash it.

If you want to stay Froyo you can grab the stock KD1 from:

IF you want to go Gingerbread, you can grab chadster's KG4 from:

Like Exodian alluded to, you have to make sure you have the files in the right places. Let us know what you're doing. If you can snag a screen shot of ODIN and post it, that might help too.

Cool. That was the first Gingerbread leak that came with the right boot loaders. What you're going to want to do is:
- Put CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL1385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5 into PDA
- Put hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit into PIT
- Put SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5 into CSC
- Put T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5 into Phone
Don't mess with any of the check boxes, and flash.
Let us know how it goes.

i will, sorry for the delay multiupload is taking forever today. thank you guys i should be able to try this in about 11 min

No rush on our part, man. Just hope you get it working.

Stuck in Download Mode. Root Failed. Now Working on Stock Kernel. Back to normal!

Mission Accomplished!
Thanks to all in this thread.
Hi,
I am a idiot...
I have search all over this site and can not find a solution.
I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy s2 Skyrocket
I used this link... http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/#comment-496
After Oden Failed I was stuck in Download Mode.
After a bit it went to " Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Kies nor Oden recognize the phone anymore...
I came to realize I have a SGH-I727 ERRRR
Anyways I am stuck at this
"ODEN MODE
Product name: SGH-I727
Custom Binary Download: NO
Current Binary: Samsung Official
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please Select Recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Is there anyway to get back to factory or root from here a proper way?

Congrats as you are the first victim.
Just wanted to say Congrats you are the first victim of the i777/i727 confusion.
My suggestion is to follow exactly what it tells you to do.
Download Kies 2.0
And hopefully you can recover
OR
Maybe you can just power off and power on the device and see if it will boot maybe Odin never got a chance to write anything.

Thanks
Well
I managed to Find different Kernal to use on Oden
Though its the Telus Kernal
I Need to get the I727 Factory Kernal....
so thats my issue Now ...

I ended getting it created myself just now. Thanks a lot though!
HERE IS THE i727 UCKJ2 STOCK KERNEL ODIN
***************MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT SAMSUNG DRIVERS INSTALLED********************
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Extract the downloaded zip to your preferred folder
2. Go to the folder in which you extracted the zip to. Right-click ODIN3_v1.81.exe and left-click Run As Administrator <----------IMPORTANT
3. Turn off your phone or pull battery and put back in
4. Hold both of the volume keys and plug in the USB cable while still holding the volume keys
5. You will be prompted with needed input. This is now the correct time to make up your mind LOL
6. Open the ODIN window from which we earlier launched
7. Select PDA then browse to the file i727UCKJ2_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
8. ENSURE THAT ONLY **AUTO REBOOT** & **F.RESET TIME** & OF COURSE **PDA(which you just clicked to select the kernel tar)** ARE CHECKED AND NOTHING ELSE
9. Now click START
10. Once the process has completed the phone will have rebooted and you should see "PASS" at the top-left of ODIN. YOU CAN NOW UNPLUG YOUR PHONE AND ENJOY THIS LOVELY STOCK KERNEL!!
****I HAVENT PERSONALLY TESTED THIS AS OF YET BECAUSE I AM AT HOME SO I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK****
I extracted the kernel from the boot.img, created the tar, created the md5 and zipped up the created kernel md5 tar with ODIN and there you have it.
Please give feedback after using it so I can ensure that all is well. ENJOY GUYS!

uh oh

Maybe you can't just "pull" the kernel off the rom.... but that's just me

Very sorry for the failure man. I have my skyrocket now so will be able to figure out what went wrong shortly.
Did you right-click Odin and run as administrator? Could be the culprit. Also I have double checked over the files, pulled kernel from my phone and compared to kernel used in my Odin and they are identical.... Reran the steps to create the Odin tar and file size matches the one already created ???? Wtf!!
Now i'm wondering if there is a specific version of Odin to be used with our phones because besides that i'm stumped at the moment. Any input?

OP did you try this and it work?

damn tough luck... but i guess you should have read more clearly that the post was for the I777 lol...hope you can get ur phone up and working...i wonder if theres a way you could flash the kernel via ADB, i know on MOTO you can access ADB before booting Android..Not sure if Samsung has a mode like that.

Yeah I know how it feels to jump the gun lol but ever since I bricked a captivate because lack of reading first, I make sure and read every word lol
You have to use the t-mobile sgs2 root method. There is a windows batch file that entire process so easy that I caveman could do it

Its always great to belittle our poke fun right? I feel if you can't help then don't post. Like its his fault the development section is located in a place that almost promotes this type of incident!

I personally rooted my SR long before the forum was established... I was probably the first one that did it, and the first to post my results in the I777 sections.
But unlike most people.. I DO READ and study all the possible facts...
I mean it sucks that he is stuck... but hey.. **** happens
As for helping we can only do so much as of what we have. Without a source code or/and a full original dump of the ROM.. it's really hard to "fix" a problem.

[Q] It's Dead Jim..... SM-N915P Rom downgrade failure,,

I am hoping that someone can help. I am a bit of a mild Panic. See I had this wonderful idea, that I could downgrade my phone back to 4.4.4. So I booted into twrp to do a system reset, and am now unable to boot the phone at all (I think I may have deleted the system by mistake.). It comes up to a firmware update failure. I have searched the forums to find a solution and now feel like I am going around in circles. When I try to use ODIN to reload the original firmware I get the following trace:
<ID:0/004> Added!!

According to the searches I have performed, I need to use Odin to flash the PIT file, but I cannot find were to download a copy of the pit file. I thought that I could extract a copy of the pit file from the ROM, but the tools/steps that are given to extract the img files don't seem to work. Does anyone know of where I can obtain a copy of the PIT file so I can reinstall the 4.4.4 Rom?

You'd have to get aomeone with kitkat to create a pit and send it to you... they have to know how. It really isnt hard at all.. but its the issue of findin someone who is willing to help..

I am installing the Android SDK which gives me a virtual android device. I am hoping I can import the ROM for kitkat ad create the PIT file from that.

Well if anyone has a PIT file for this phone they can email to me, that would be Wonderful. I found a android emulator, but I can't run it because i have a crappy built in video cart that only supports OpenGl 1.1.x and the emulation software won't work without version 2.0. So I am kind of stuck right now.

Ok... this is getting bad
Ok, I guess this should have been posted in the Q & A forum... sorry about that. I am really staring to loose hope.. I have been searching for 2 days to find a pit file for the Note Edge. I find pit files for other note series, but no the note edge, and right now, I can't load any firmware on the device, nada. The partition information has been completely corrupted. I don't know if a pit file for another note series, such as note 3 note 4 would work either. I was hoping I could use a virtual android but I can't seem to find a way to load the rom I want on the virtual android to then extract the pit. Any suggestions, aside from jumping off a cliff (no cliffs around), or taking a large hammer to the phone is welcome.
(At least I still have my humor)

Post in Q and A and hope that some kind soul links you with a .pit file..
Make sure to add the instructions to your posts..
In Terminal Emulator type "su"
Then type in "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176"
Then look for the .pit in your SD Card..
Good Luck to you sir. I would have posted it if I had KK.

I mean, it's REALLLLLLY DEAD
So I tried to download the pit file, and that pit file failed. I think that the partition table was so screwed up that the only hope was to rebuild it manually. Since I was getting /data errors when I was in twrp, I figured that I would try to create the file structure manually. I used adb shell to get to a bash (command prompt) and issued a make_ext4fs command. It took the command just fine. Then about 30 seconds later, the system shut down, and that was it. The unit will not turn back on. Period, full stop. I took the phone in to the service center and they could not get it to turn on either. Since it is still under warranty and since I have insurance, they are replacing it.
I doubtful that my make_ext4fs command killed it. when I tried to mount /data I got an error that /dev/block/blah blah was not found, and I used that when I entered the make_ext4fs command. So I think something else was seriously wrong with the device. I hope to get the new phone tomorrow or thursday and with any luck, it will still have 4.4 on it.
Thanks for all those that helped.

The one thing no one said about your attempt to downgrade was that when uou went to lollipop you changed the bootloader. You had to to get it installed. Your attempt to go back to KK was going to fail. Ive not yet seen any attempt to go back successful. Did you try reinstalling lollipop? Or were you only trying to get KK? And with as much as happened with your phone they are actually replacing it? You rooted and bricked your phone. That's amazing

After flashing 5.01 I would've rebooted into recovery and cleared cache and it would boot then.

So, back to the original issue. If someone updates to LP, and then wants to flash BACK to a KK firmware, even if they have the appropriate KK PIT file, the flash will fail as the bootloader CANT be downgraded?
