I've been cruising around this forum for a couple hours and I see roms to flash via ODIN and deodexed and rooted stock, but no plain-jane out of the box ODIN.
Am I missing something? In the Captivate forum it was easy to find.
ODIN isnt a rom its simply a program/tool used to flash kernels, I recommend you use whitwhawxk's stock kd1 but it is rooted and deodexed (which are good things anyway)

Don't worry I do know that, lol. Not a complete noob.
I'm more concerned with UNROOTING to out of the box state for warranty or resale scenarios or to update via kies mini.
In the Captivate forum the plain Jane Odin was easy to find.
Thanks for your response.

So is that the official unroot method so far? Flash the rooted stock and use SOC to unroot?
Will that result in a perfect out of the box state?
Also haven't been able to find kies on the samsung website. Do I have to register before they'll let me download it?

Hey guys,
GPS Isn't working, and I need LBSTestMode, since I don't have it right now after upgrading to 2.3.4.
Where or which firmware do I download from here:
http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm
or wherever else that is 2.2.1 and will work on the Galaxy S 4G.
I'm in Canada on the Bell network.
Thanks!
Check out the bible in the dev section. It has links to every rom we have for the sgs4g. There are odin versions and cwm. If your looking for it you can,most likely find it there.

Well it doesn't have 2.2.1
I'm looking for the official Stock Firmware which I'm just going to root later on.
Isn't kd1 2.2.1? Or flash kb5 then use mini kies to update it to stock

Its almost impossible to brick this phone....if u can get to recovery do a complete wipe and flash another rom ...if not use gtg unbrick in infuse super thread to go back to stock or one of the rooted Odin packages...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
only uckk4 is corrupt. that's the one that dropped today. all the other leaks are working. look for uckk3, or better yet get the phone recovered with the stock package, get cwm, (I'd use the defuse kernel oneclick heimdall, quickest way to get cwm from stock) then flash caty rom or victory rom which will be rooted.

I have a small panic attack when I think of people flashing ROMs without knowing how to restore/unbrick. Especially leaks.

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.
Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
Ill look for mobile Odin.

Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:

Hey guys. I have a rooted Galaxy S blaze and i am running on the stock t-moible rom. I didnt install clockmod recovery or anything like that, I installed Kies on my laptop and i saw it said new firmware was available. Can i install this or do i need to be unrooted??
U can but you'll lose root. But I'd Odin back to unrooted stock just to be safe

Thanks for the quick reply man.
Yea i do not want to unroot. I rooted it to get rid of the bloatware. Is there a root for the update? Im guessing its ICS so is there a ICS root?
Look through dev section
It's pretty easy to root ics
