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

Is this still being packaged Blu? I could really use a working odin tar right now... accidentally soft bricked trying to use a recovery.tar to get rid of ClockworkMod and get back to a stock recovery.

Just packed now sorry. You flashed the one from the restoring stock recovery thread? What was your method of flashing it? Does it boot up at all or stick at the samsung boot screen? (i packaged that one and am curious as I heard reports of it working)
Download link: still uploading
Pit file attached in case you need it (unrar it first)
I do not guarantee that this will work, all I did was tar the files and upload them (and edit the pit). I did not trim the datafs.rfs file due to lack of ability to test it. Flash AT YOUR OWN RISK! so If this fails you now own a fancy brick!
edit:Not posting the tar yet for privacy of ayoteddy and potentially his logins to websites. The data wasn't wiped and has all his info, waiting for a clean one.

damn those files shouldnt contain any data since i had factory wiped just before pulling those images. *shrug* there might be a more in-depth way to clear all data
anyways im sure we can have a functional odin image with only the following files included
zImage
modem.bin
factoryfs.rfs
Recovery.bin
Param.lfs
i doubt anybody will be messing with anything else in their file sys but that should be able to recovery anybody from a soft brick.
Edit: Also dis-include the sbl and boot.bin as it could be very dangerous overwriting those files.. not really necessary anyhow.

I'm actually stuck at the black screen with a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle in the middle. Yeah, I was trying to flash a stock recovery from the stock recovery thread. Got a little desperate and tried to flash the recovery tarred for Odin, and that sent me to where I am now. I appreciate all your hard work guys, and have learned my lesson not to flash unless there's a lot of backups handy ;]
I'll try the pit, not sure if I may need more or not, you guys probably know better than me.
EDIT: as I am not skilled in using Odin and do not wish to cause further damage to my phone, I will await instructions from you guys/ayoteddy's image.

What did you do while flashing it? What boxes did you tick? Where did you put the tar, etc
@ ayoteddy alright i'll just make one from those, only reason i was including cache before is I heard its where permissions were stored though as you said I'm sure those files work fine

Here it is:
Odin + pit: attached
sk4g_stock.tar.md5.rar: Click here
UNRAR the tar first (i didn't want to trim factoryfs.rfs due to unability to test so I compressed it instead)
Put the extracted sk4g.tar.md5 in the pda slot
make sure ONLY AUTO-REBOOT is checked (unless you are re-partitioning, then use re-partition and the pit file)
1. open odin with phone not connected yet
2. boot in to download mode using Trackpad+Vol down then power (thanks sduvick)
3. connect phone to pc
4. sk4g_stock.tar.md5 in pda slot
5. double check that only auto-reboot is checked (and the pda you selected of course)
6. Click flash
Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk, if you get bricked I am not liable.
The odin tar includes
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
recovery.bin
zImage

Thanks blu, @sduvick would prolly be the first to test cause he was waitng for this.. hope everything works out for em
He also figured out how to get into downlode mode ..
Trackpad+Vol down then power

I'm not entirely sure what I did. I think I put the recovery.tar.md5 in the wrong place. anyways, I'm back out of bricked, and now just waiting for a working stock restore tar to get back to stock.
EDIT: just saw the tar, downloading now, will test in around 10 min when the file is downloaded.

Did you try my one click stock in the same post?

Yeah, I didn't have the same root method, so that didn't get rid of Clockwork for me.

First try at flashing failed almost at the end, at recovery.bin if I'm not mistaken. I'm trying to run it again.
EDIT: Failed again, at recovery.bin

Got it working through pm with him.
attach the pit and re-partition. then flash the tar
sduvick wanna post the steps you used?

I can actually give steps based on what you have for symptoms (too much experimenting for me haha)
If you have the "soft brick," that is the small phone and computer icons, just connect to Odin and flash the full image.
Black screen, no logo.
1. Get into download mode by using VolDown+Touchpad+Power
2. flash full sk4g.tar.md5 as posted.
logo only
1. Download mode
2. Flash full package
Can't flash recovery/boot/sbl
1. Download mode
2. use PIT only, run with repartition checked
3. reboot/reDownload mode
4. run the full image in Odin.
Anything else
1. Download mode
2. Full tar.md5 flash in Odin
3. Ask if it doesn't work

[Q] !SOLVED! Need Root but work computer won't allow Rage to run!

Hey guys I'm on vacation and bricked my phone.... Grrr.. But I got it back with the unbrick. Bad news is the only computer I have won't allow me to run rage because my work computer thinks the rage bin is a virus and auto deletes it. I can not disable the virus protection. Is there any way to root without access to a computer?
I've been using my phone as an AP for my family to use and also for work related purposes so I need my root back ASAP!!
Thanks guys!
sure just use odin to flash a voodoo kernel. no pit needed, it goes in the pda slot.
the kernel will push root on first boot. and you get lagfix back and sound enhancements. its that easy.

there shuld be an odin version of the comunity kenrel, you need to extract the package and in the .tar is inside the zip.
alternatively if you have the cwm kernel already then you can extract the contents, find the zimage file(that's the actual kernel) in either the kenrel folder or updates folder, take that zimage and archive it as a .tar in a program like 7zip the .tar archive should not have compression and should only contain the zimage file.
also depending on what package you used it may be rooted already. try to install superuser from the market before flashing anything. that may be all you need as many of gtg's packages already have su binaries installed. if this is the case then you can flash a custom kernel with sgskernel flasher which will find the zimage inside the .zip and ignore all the other contents, as long as the file extension matches the archive it will figure the rest out.
I tried adding the ximage to a .tar and flashing through odin, but got the phone >!> pc thing... I reflashed to stock... I am now trying to flash stock with the zimage in the phone slot in hope is to flash stock with the rooted kernel.
superuser did not take either.
One final question, can you link me to the community odin version? I can't seem to find it anywhere.. unless im looking in the wrong place
odin keeps getting stuck at the zimage process

crap. are you an administrator? sometimes it seems to help running odin "as administrator"
odin is sometimes wierd and may take a few attempts to flash. i dont have an esxplaination for this but it happens.
are you using the infuse.pit PIT file? it may help if something got screwed up (maybe not help but it couldnt hurt)
I am admin
ODIN seems pretty buggy to me.. I am trying to flash back to stock again then flash the kernel overtop of that... ODIN is giving me trouble going back to stock now, but i think this time it looks like its actually working (hopefully!)
Lets hope this works! Stock infuse SuCkS!
I'll let you know what happens in a few minutes!
THANKS!

best bet for a phone!computer screen is just a full flash with the pit file in place.
the pit should not be used to flash only the kernel! just the .tar goes in the pda slot, nothing else!
Got the stock to boot, flashed the kernel and I'm hearing the famous robot voice telling me the eta on the partition conversions
Sounds like it should work from here!!
Thanks so much for your help! (I clicked the Thanks button on every post you wrote me )
no problem
anyway this can be done through Heimdall? Odin wont recognize my phone

[Q] Going back to stock Directions step by step

I am rooted and have cwm on my phone, also I have ice cream sandwhich Rom. Step by Step how do I go back to Stock, thankyou to anyone that can tell me.
There are so much stuff that isnt really clear on going back to stock. If anyone can explain step by step and If they have the file and can upload the stock rom thankyou
having problems reading the sticky that already explains how to do this???
The TAR ODIN sticky thread? Be careful, it is not clear whether or not that method will trigger your flash counter. So far I have not found a clear explanation of how to return to stock without triggering the flash counter.
Flashing stock firmware will not trip the counter. You need to download odin here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=725858&d=1316556218
Then the stock tar found here http://k0nane.info/rom/SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.7z
Download and install the program 7zip. Unzip the. 7z file you downloaded above.
Open odin. Click pda and select the stock.tar file you unziped. Then start odin.
Make sure re-partition is not checked.
And make sure you have the usb drivers for the skyrocket installed.
You also must have your phone in download mode to use odin.
^^ Should be added to a stickie, as the TAR ODIN thread gives a different solution for going back to stock that does trip the flash counter.
Can you verify that using odin for the stock tar does trip the flash counter? I have read using odin with a stock tat does not
only thing that SHOULD trip your counter is a custom kernel flash from ODIN....
this is why I started this question and yes I saw the sticky but everything is so unclear I was hoping without getting to technical someone could explain it in a simple way without confusion. But I was wrong
Thank you pirate and thats what i thougt. Ok so the instructions in the reaturn to stock thread are really simple. There not to technical 1. Download Odin 1.85 - see section below. 2. Download the stock TAR for your device - see section below. 3. Extract the contents of odin-185.zip and the 7zip archive. 4. Run Odin3+v1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:
Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options. Click PDA and select the TAR you downloaded.
5. 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.
6. You should now be at Download Mode. Click Start in Odin.
That's it! Your device will autoreboot, and your phone should be working properly again.
so you dont have to go in cwm and do a factory reset and delete anything, you can just follow your directions and its good to go?
When you odin the stock tar it erases everything. And takes you back to 100 percent stock
thankyou very much
I have flashed back to stock a few times using Odin and konanes stock.tar and I have never used Odin for anything else and it Does trip the flash counter at least for me it did.

geterdone18: you'll have to post back and let us all know if your flash counter tripped flashing the stock tar (as it did for niezek).
I just flashed back to stock, how do you check for the flash counter?
well hold on I just flashed the recovery tar using Odin, it worked fine but for some reason when I go to Odin and try to pull up the stock rom in PDA it doesnt show it there in the folder, does anyone know why it is doing this? And where do you go to check and see if the flash counter was tripped

I've used only Odin per the instructions in the sticky to root, go back to stock once then root again with the tar provided in the sticky and can confirm it did trip my counter
i think if you flash the stock kernel in CWM, then flash a /system in ODIN, it wont trip anything. AFAIK, the counter only trips when installing kernels via ODIN/Heimdall

When I used Odin to go back to stock I had a rom installed which I'm sure had a custom kernel so maybe that's what tripped it?

My SGS is dying, need help to save it

Hi everybody, i wasnt sure whether to open this subject here or in "Android Software Development". sorry if i was wrong, and if i did you can transfer the topic to the right place, tnx
Few days ago i was trying to put in a rooted kernel in my sgs using odin. after clicking start the odin showed FAIL and from this moment on, the device didnt want to boot or go to recovery mode, only to download mode..
After trying abou a 1000 different other kernels i decided to try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22555425.. after doing step num 4, odin showed the fail mark again and from that moment on, the device wouldnt want to go to either download mode nor recovery mode.. so the situation is- the device DOESNT react to any click on any key.. JUST NOTHING
I have ordered JIG from someone.. after pluging it in and going back to download mode, is this ICS tutorial mentioned above gonna work for me or is it gonna fail again?
Btw sorry for digging like this, im just so despert for help.. TNX FOR ANY HELP!
If ur on download mode why don't you use odin to flash a stock rom instead off flashing a new kernal!
Be carefull on flashing related.. If ur on black death screen ur [email protected] a new phone!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
Cus all i wanted was to switch the karnel without changing the rom and wiping my data' what would of happen if i change my rom. furthermore i did changed to stock rom as a part of the tutorial above and thats the part the phone was bricked.
btw what is a black death screan? when the phone dont respond?
Can u be more specified what kind of rom & kernal? What kind of sgs phone
Black death screen is when nothing appear on ur screen after flashing prosedure! not even a single object or image, when that time come... Ur phone is useless..

You have your kernel. Open it with 7zip, extract boot.img
Install Heimdall.
Start your GS in Download Mode
Run zadig.exe and install the correct drivers.
Put boot.img in Heimdall file.
Open cmd.exe, go to c:\heimdall (or where you put it)
type :
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
Enjoy

Plus, remember to kill all Kies processes from background
PS. Since you are only flashing kernel, you won't end up with hard bricked phone..only bootloaders can mess up your phone that badly..so it's probably only driver problem or something like that..try Heimdall as suggested

Hi. With google, try to find heimdall. It's a software including zadig.
Boot.img is in your kernel's zip file.
I dont have this file (Boot.img) in the kernel's file posted in the tut above... is it supposed to be in the device itself?
What file have you in kernel's zip ?
Listen, i have downloaded 4 different zips.
1st was ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000 (the rom itself from the tut) which includes a boot file img somwhere inside of it.
2nd was odin
3rd was i9000XWJVZ 2.3.6 ROM (the stock GB rom i think) which includes 5 files : APBOOT.....md5 , CODE......md5 , CSC......md5 , MODEM......md5 , and finaly s1_odin.pit
4th and final was CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3 KERNEL which includes the file
"CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-TAR.tar"

Actuali i wasnt sure if thats the file u ment cus i have beent told to first flash a stock GB rom with a stock kernel and AFTER that to flash the ICS. the boot file is in the ICS rom files.
sorry for questioning u but its the second time im getting bricked becuase of others mistakes so im a bit scared.

[Q] AT&T SGH-I727 Odin Crashes at "Getting PIT for mapping..."

Hello
I have an issue trying to use KIES, ODIN, or Heimdall Suite trying to flash just about anything to an AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket - SGH-I727. This phone was my brother's and according to him he installed CW Recovery (do not currently have the version) successfully but when he tried to flash a new ROM the phone rebooted with the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." screen. He is adamant that anytime he used ODIN he did not leave the option for PIT checked.
These are the steps I have tried to flash back to stock
1. Use KIES as recommended by the error on the screen. Installed the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket drivers, phone is detected by windows device manager and I attempt to do an emergency recovery. The process gets all the way to the point of trying to flash the new firmware but hangs there. I let it run for over 48 hours and did not move a single percent.
2. Use ODIN to flash a Stock Recovery TAR. ODIN, of any version number but specifically 1.85, will crash with an 0xc0000005 error at "Getting PIT for mapping..." consistently. I have tried this across three different physical Windows 8 and 7 machines, Windows XP mode on one of them, and a myriad of different micro USB cables.
3. Use Heimdall Suite, versions 1.3.1 and 1.3.2, on both Windows platform and Ubuntu running in a virtual machine. The device is detected on both platforms. On windows the software will hang if I try to read the PIT. On Ubuntu it will "read" the PIT but the file produced is 0 bytes. If I try to flash the TAR file using Heimdall then when the phone reboots it hangs at the Samsung logo and I can put it into download mode without getting the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." message. However, neither ODIN or Heimdall will do a successful flash.
From most of my searches and reading of posts it seems that if I can get into Download Mode then the phone is not hard bricked. It appears though there is some form of corruption in the PIT if that is possible, like a quasi-brick.
As a last ditch effort I wanted to take fate in my hands and do flash the PIT but I have not been able to find a PIT file for the SGH-I727.
Does anyone know if there is a PIT file for the SGH-I727 or have any other suggestions for how to get the phone back to stock? Or, does it look like even though I can hit download mode JTAG will be the only real solution?

Sure there is, just pull it from mmcblk0p11 on a good skyrocket using adb and then dd command. Then write it to mmcblk0p11 on the bad phone in recovery using adb and dd command, or flash it in ODIN.
That's exactly what ODIN is doing when it says 'Getting PIT for mapping...', it pulling it from the phone.
An SGH-I727 pit dump is attached.

cschmitt, this is exactly what I needed! I was able to flash the PIT file in ODIN without crashing. I then flashed the stock firmware using ODIN and the phone is now booting perfectly. All is well.
Great news! Glad you're back up and running.

Sure there is, just pull it from mmcblk0p11 on a good skyrocket using adb and then dd command. Then write it to mmcblk0p11 on the bad phone in recovery using adb and dd command, or flash it in ODIN.
That's exactly what ODIN is doing when it says 'Getting PIT for mapping...', it pulling it from the phone.
An SGH-I727 pit dump is attached.

to confirm, u didnt use adb to flash the pit file, you used odin to flash the pit file and used the pit option in odin, then you picked pda option for the stock firmware, more details u give the better so i can add it to the sticky

@vincom, yes flashing the pit in Odin along with a stock rom in PDA is the safest method.
Yes please vinvom put it in your stickies, it'll help a lot of us.

so, to confirm, use the pit option, no reboot, then immediately flash stock files, or do then simultaneously
can u also give the adb commands for the pit, can adb also be used for the stock firmwares, which i dont think we can

Was that file you posted the actual pit used in ODIN? It's the same for all our skyrockets/Rogers I727rs ?

Yes, celox.pit (extracted from the zip) is the actual pit to flash in ODIN. It's from an SGH-I727 and should be the same for Rogers version. Not 100% sure if it's the same for TMO flavor.

k in going to use this thread to link from the sticky and also add it in the odin troubleshootibg section in restoring to stock
********************************************
when trying to flash stock firmwares and/or recoveries and it hangs at "Getting PIT for mapping" or getting pit errors in odin, download celox.zip and "unzip" the file, select the extracted "celox.pit" file in the pit option for odin, with all other options unchecked hit the start button in odin, once flashed you can then flash the stock firmware and/or recovery in odins pda section.
thanks cschmitt
Extract celox.pit from the zip and flash the pit file, do not attempt to flash the zip file directly.

I used the attachment from cschmitt, extracted the PIT file from the zip and then used ODIN to flash it. I was then able to flash a Skyrocket Stock ODIN tar to restore to GB and boot the phone. I have since been able to get it rooted, CWTouch on it, and have CM10 running on it well.
Thanks again everyone.
I did copy TWRP2.2.0 and stock firmware zip in SD card and hold volume up+down + power button to get recovery mode but I only see pictures of phone & monitor with yellow
triangle at center.( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.)
---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 AM ----------
I upgraded my samsung s2 version 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 through the Kies. Then I tried to install TWRP 2.2.0 and Odin 1.85. I saw COM 14 ; COM 17 when I hit start button .It said
FAILED. Now it showed a yellow triangle in the middle of phone & monitor pictures. ( including : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in Kies & try again). I saw COM 3 but it said it couldn't open the serial (COM )port . All thread completed (success 0/ failed 1) .
I just tried other laptop to use Odin & stock 4.0.4 to flash back Stock rom.and got getting mapping pit....I still can go to Download mode but I can't flash anything.
Please help . Thank you very much.
If I understand, you're trying to flash 4.0.4 with odin. And it's a md5 file, right? Keep trying it. Sometimes it takes more than one try.
And check the check sum of the stock rom file you downloaded it could be a bad download

[Q] P6810 Problem! - Won't go to Recovery - Bootloop

Hi, I'm having and issue with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6810) and don't know what is the problem, so I'm looking for assistance here. (Thanks in advance).
Let me describe my issue(s):
1. A friend went to flash the Tab and apparently used the wrong firmware, in Odin mode shows GT-P7560.
2. I already tried flashing different firmwares but when I use ICS the Tab goes into a bootloop. I can go to download (odin) mode, but can't go to recovery mode (volume up + power).
3. I flashed it with a stock firmware (P6810DTKL5_P6810XSAKL2_XSA) and got it to boot, but is asking for a password it never had.
So I'm thinking there's an issue with the partition or bootloader. Already tried a "p6810-16g.pit" file with no luck
Tried flashing different CWM versions and nothing works. So at this point I'm stuck on this issue.
What can I do to bring back my device to a functional state? Any advice would be appreciated! THANKS A LOT!! :good::laugh:
I'm attaching the images describing the issues.

You don't need a bootloader, it was already "flashed" when he flashed the stock official firmware - bootloader would have been included in that and PIT
If done correctly, the PIT should work, if not - unfortunately, most likely back for repair............ bummer
Without actually checking the above is HC, have you tried the official HoneyComb firmware ? Just don't factory reset in HC recovery
P6810 ICS LPP Bootloader
Here you go............
I have packaged my P6810 ICS LPP bootloader files into an ODIN flashable .tar.mD5 format.
Flashing Instructions :
Extract the Sbl.bin.zip and boot.bin.zips so that you have Sbl.bin.tar.md5 & boot.bin.tar.md5
Ensure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed
Disable KIES
Disable KIES process in Task Manager
Run ODIN
Ensure ONLY "auto reboot" and "reset time" are checked
Device in Download mode
Connect device to PC USB port
ODIN - Flash Sbl.bin.tar.md5 in either "bootloader" -or- "PDA" option (choose one only)
Then repeat above same method to flash boot.bin.tar.md5
** After that, try reflash the COMPLETE official stock ICS LPP package with ODIN
Best of luck

Hi, thanks for your assistance... here's what I just did:
1. I downloaded the bin files you attached and both are appearing as invalid md5 in ODIN, apparently the hash is invalid.
2. I renamed them from .tar.md5 to just .tar and flashed my device with both files as you described.
3. Rebooted twice, went to Download mode again.
4. Flashed with P6810XXLPP_P6810XSALJ2 (stock firmware).
5. Got bootloop again.
6. Re-flashed the "Sbl.bin" & "boot.bin" again, and still got bootloop.
7. Download mode still shows "P7560" as the installed firmware.
Any other advice?
Thanks again! :good:

Can you check them and re-upload if there's no problem?

I'll have a play around on my device first, and see if I can get them to work. Those were untested.

Very strange, particularly if the flash was successful.....................
Try flashing both the files at once. boot.bin in "bootloader" and SBl.bin in "PDA".
Maybe something else we haven't thought of..
If I think of anything else, will let you know, but try the stock HC firmware too, just in case.

Tried the steps above and still the same.
I had to flash back to the stock HC firmware because the ICS led into an infinite loop, at least HC let me turn off the device.
I'll wait for any other suggestions, thanks!

All I can suggest is to send it away for repair.
JTag (riff box) by a 3rd party or Samsung.
If it's NOT a hardware issue, JTag should be much cheaper, and if successful, faster.
