Quick guide for flashing Gingerbread KF1 and rooting

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!
I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

thanks for the write up man

Added more to the fugu step, let me know if I missed anything else.

Once someone gets this done, they should dump it, deodex it, then upload.

I want to do that but I haven't learn how to do anything beyond deodexed. I also still haven't had time to learn how to add "extras" like extended power menu or additional lock screens.
If someone wants to PM the instructions or a link to do so, I'll be happy to do and have it ready tomorrow.

Do we really need another Odin guide? Write one on heimdall. It's open source and actually maintained. It also has a lower brick rate.

Honestly I have never used Heimdall and have never had an issue with ODIN. With that said I also have no objection if anyone wants to write up the parts for Heimdall here or by PMing me, I'll add to it the first post. I am not about to reflash again just to learn a new process when the old one has not given me a single issue.

made a deodex version, just dont know what to do with it
its not ready for flash or anything and its just deodexed using illdroid.
Doesn't matter anyways until we get CWM working...

There's really nothing new to learn. It looks and loads almost exactly like Odin. Not sure what processes are different when you push the start button though. I'm not pushing heimdall, just conveying what i've seen with it. I used once to load the last Andro3.

Ill try to upload it later tonight when I get back to my computer. Only thing I wanted to figure out before I did it is how to zipalign to make it smaller. I've tried apk manager in the past but that didn't work for me.

got mine deodexed. thanks tho

Loving this ROM stock and all. Has anyone seen if 3e recovery (I think its called) has been enabled yet for KF1? Id like to be able to flash stuff again. Alternatively if anyone has a method for flashing items via a program that would be great as well.
Cheers!

[Guide] [UXKG3] Complete Stock (FOR ROGERS USERS ONLY)

Sarius24 said:
Okay so from the help of GTG I removed the Root off the stock rom.
Here's what i did. It's probably obvious for others, but I didnt realize it so whatever, just posting it incase anyone got stuck with the rooted gingerbread 2.3.3 and didnt know how to rid of the root. For me superoneclick doesnt work dont know why. So also you can use this method if you cant get that to work.
I also didnt realize that root explorer could just remove the root files so that when you factory reset it doesnt come back. Go figure .
01/11/2011
INFUSE 4G -- BACK TO STOCK 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD METHOD --
Visit this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193927
Download Odin_UXKG3_rooted_no_bootloaders_vs.zip & Extract its contents.
Flash using GTG's method. USE the ODIN version because it is not De-odexed.
RETURN TO UXKG3 KERNEL:
Download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248
> Odin_Stock_Rogers_UXKG3_Kernel.zip
Again follow the steps mentioned in GTG's thread.
MAKE SURE VOODOOLAG FIX IS DISABLED!
HOW: Create a folder on your internal SD card called Voodoo. Then create another folder inside of it called disable-lagfix.
I didn't do this the first time and the phone bricked on me D:
FLASH KERNEL WITH ODIN --
After phone has booted
Download Root explorer from market & locate and delete:
/system/xbin/su
/system/xbin/busybox
/system/app/Superuser
go to settings>Privacy
-- DELETE USER DATA ALONG WITH SD CARD DATA --
DO IT, reboot. NO ROOT PURE STOCK.
When you factory reset the root wont be there either. Thank god.

Thank god. This made my day .
I can root and return to stock whenever i want and the root wont come back

so let me get this in my own understanding, the stock UXKG3 is CWM flashable correct? I just need to disable ext4 for it to boot....?
deepest thanks
EDIT: Oh Jordan......may I suggest we put the [UXKG3] label on the thread title.....well if that's possible...

Not to nitpick but I'm looking at the 'gtg's stock uxkg3 rom with root removed' and noticed that it has the de-odexed apk's and framework files. I'm pretty sure that the Rogers Infuses, out of the box, have odex files. Would the lack of odex files be enough reason for Rogers not to service an Infuse with the reason being that some of the system files have been modified?
Also, not a big deal, but the updater-script still has references to 'su' and 'busybox' and symlinks to bin files that do not exist (ex. mkdir).

It would be awesome if gtg could provide the original framework. Or anyone with a rogers phone.

ok guys heres what im gonna do. im gonna download the odin version of the uxkg3 root package. pull all the apps and framework from there. and drop them into the rom package on here. i need someone to test once im done.

The odin version, are you able to remove the odex or whatever its called from it? And I'd be willing to test it when i get back home. Around 6-7pm est time. I take it around 5-6pm for your time Jordan.

yea, I apologize. right after I hit the post button I realized I had posted it in the wrong one. Is there a certain person who is supposed to fix that or can I do it?
and as for the reply above asking "wont the stock odexed roms do this"? they might but I have never been able to push the correct file to system/bin to fix the clockwork recovery so I cant even get in there to flash any different rom. I have been researching for a few hours and I think I can undo everything in superoneclick.

You *SHOULD* be able to get away with the KG2 ROM which T-Mobile sent OTA to the Sidekick a few months ago. You can get that and the PIT file required to flash it back via ODIN here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186954

The link works fine, you can flash the KG2 one linked above this post or the KD1 version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088413 . Follow the instructions, then once you use ODIN to get back to stock you can return the phone as it is. It'll be just like the software was never manipulated.
Also, i'll be moving this thread to the general section by the end of the day. If you havent responded yet i'll PM you to see if you still need help.

Immediate action required
Yeah, lolzy title.
I soft-bricked my SK4G trying to flash a custom ROM without making any backups or checking anything prior.. and I suffered.
I have ODIN and the sk4g.pit file, a good USB connection with stock cable and I cna get into download mode. Everything is looking really good, except MegaUpload and MultiUpload are down thanks to our guys up in the White House.
So, my (really desperate) question is, can anyone give me a working link to either KD1OdinSTOCK.tar or KG2OdinSTOCK.tar ? Even if it's .tar.md5, as long as it is the file I need to flash back to factory firmware, I'll love you forever. Been looking for 2 days already =\
CONTACT INFO:
GMail: [email protected]

Yahoo: [email protected]
AIM: [email protected]
Any one of those will work. You can also PM me on my YouTube (Iraqnid2088) or PM me here on this website as I'll be checking everything.
Please help me, I'm really quite desperate. :\
EDIT: I found a firmware that seems to be the latest for SK4G, Looks like the tag is "KH1" Rather than KD1 or KG2.
androidwaptoday.blogspot.com/2011/10/stock-rom-t839uvkh1-221-for-samsung.html
I've downloaded it but I can't get into the .tar without a password? Is this normal for android firmware or is something wrong?
I'm also curious if I can odin my phone with this file rather than the other 2 mentioned above. Thanks again!

I also need the KD1 or KD2 firmware... it would be very helpful if somebody could post a working link!!! Ive been looking for 3 days haha
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Souldrainer, I think I may have found newer firmware. It looks legit and is from SamFirmWare.
http://hotfile.com/dl/145788939/08a9a06/SGH-T839_T839UVKH1_TMB.zip.html
That is the address to the file itself. If that does not work, look up "T839UVKH1" on SamFirmWare.com.
To get the password to open the file, you'll need to sign up on their website (free)
as far as I know, it contains everything KD1 or KG2 firmware would, and is newer. I believe you odin your phone with this program. I'm about to... as soon as I can get odin to recognize my phone.

the reason why i wanted it was because in case i did something wrong with CWM, because i cannot put the recovery file in with KJ2, i wanted something i could rely on to back it up because i can't make a nandroid backup..
I rooted the phone but it wont let me put in the recovery file, and when i try to boot into recovery i get the stock recovery, am i supposed to use the update.zip file that i got? cuz im not sure if it would work with KJ2.
and thank you for the file!!! i shall check it out xD

I believe the reason you're not going to CWM Recovery is because theres a binary file you need to edit since the SideKick has a faulty Recovery file.
http://www.simply-android.com/discu...work-mod-recovery-for-t-mobile-sidekick-4g/p1
If I'm not mistaken, the edited binary file can be found here, and that will allow you to boot into CWM Recovery. Be sure to back up the files just in case. And on the site it tells you to overwrite (still back up) so overwrite, and do not replace or rename. Hopefully that'll help!

yea but it wont let me replace the file, it keeps saying file already exists or that i cant do that

If you are rooted, you have to make sure that the system partition is mounted as readable/writable (r/w) before you attempt to replace the recovery binary file.
The easiest way to do that is download ES File Explorer from the market, then go into settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. Select the check box for "Root Explorer" ; then, check the box for "Mount File System". You will get a superuser warning prompt- "Allow" it.
Now go follow the process to overwrite the recovery binary and you shouldn't have any problems.
--Finally, make sure that you ALSO have the update.zip on your SD card and boot into recovery. You will end up seeing the stock recovery-select "reinstall packages" and voila... you should be in CWM.

The password is "samfirmware.com" without the quotes (simple google search).
So I also have this file (T839UVKD1) sitting on my hard drive waiting to find out: is this safe to use?
I don't care if it's new or old, it's the only .tar related to the SK4G that's downloadable and it just needs to work.
I just don't understand why no one will simply post T839UVKD1 or T839UVKG2 for those of us who need it (is it a bandwidth thing?), everyone just wants to say, "just go to here/this post," where all the wonderful instructions are that can help me save my phone, but where the links are dead (megaupload and multiupload are down, as we all know, so the files are unattainable) so we download Odin or Heimdal and the .pit file, but are stuck because: no .tar.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

T839UVKD1 SHOULD be safe to use proving the file you have is not corrupted, you can use it for Odin. if you wouldnt mind posting it i would really super appreciate it!

I've googled it and can't get a solution that works.

Is there an All In One guide for this phone?

Okay, so my dad had bought a fit a few months back and he's sick of how slow it is and how unstable the stock is...
I'm not a newbie when it comes to this but I've only messed with my Motorola defy and after some looking around here it seems like things are a bit different for the fit (apart from rooting which is very simple)
So I basically want the most stable rom (oc'd as well hopefully) and a small guide to get there from an untouched stock rom
Any help? Any help appreciated

alright then, I'll flash that, but I need some instructions from start to finish

On my Defy I had to install CWM and 2ndInit because of the locked bootloader, but I'm not sure how it happens on this phone.

Is this really necessary? I don't wanna download an entire GB rom just for CWM
Isn't there an app or something for this? I don't remember how I did it for my phone but it was quite straightforward
EDIT: I just looked up how to install CWM on my phone and it's a simple app from the play store. Isn't there anything similar for this phone?

You've got Froyo atm? If yes, then you do need to install GB first

don't use rom manager... it'll brick the phone

Okay then.. I'll do that first thing when my dad gets back.
also, will this work for custom recovery? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623761
Is it reliable? The thread's only a page long, so i'm not sure
So finally, just to make sure I've got all the steps in order (before a moderator deletes this thread!!)
1. Install GB through Kies
2. Root the phone using SuperOneClick
3. Use ODIN for CWM (what exactly is ODIN? is it an app or something?)
4. Download ROM and GAPPS and flash it through CWM
That's it right? No messing with kernels or SBFs??

Well fit got a very simple system ...
no bootloader problem nothing locked ...neither the recovery is integrated with kernel !!
so to get a custom rom...
jus upgrade to a Gb rom.(Download a firmware from sammobile.com and flash via ODIN)
Using Odin(a Windows Tool) Flash the Cwm .
then using CWM flash as many custom roms as you want !!

well, that's good to know.. but I have a problem
I do remember seeing Kies when my dad got my phone, but right now, it's not showing up on the app drawer. And the Play Store isn't showing up either
Almost no apps were installed since we got the phone, and it's only been used for calling and the occassional texting
Any idea what's gone wrong? And how do I proceed with the flashing now?

Samsung Kies is a program for the PC.

Hope you guys don't sleep too soon

Oh great!! Exactly what I was looking for
I guess I'll just follow the steps on this instead of installing GB first.. no problem, right?
EDIT: Seems like according to the guide, you need GB to install CWM.. oh well then

If you do read the instructions carefully, you'll find that gingerbread is a pre-requisite.

[Q] help, device almost dead (i can get into DM) I WILL GIVE THX 2 ALL

i got this problem, please help me, i accidently installed a vibrant rom, please help me, my device wont revert to any stock rom using heimdall, i need a stock rom using odin, maybe a mediafire download if you can

@android_isda_****
I think you didn't "accidentally" choose to flash a Vibrant ROM. Anyway, follow the guide from lumin30 in this link and give it a try. Before you ask what to do, READ EVERYTHING!
@OllieArmageddon
I would have told you that you were a troll but I think OP deserves it. Next time I suggest, besides trolling, add something useful so we don't start the fireworks around here. Just saying.

This might help

WHOA there fellow you need to slow down and read a little before you get flash happy with whatever you can get your hands on. Is there some reason why you want your phone unlocked? By doing the unlocking you can mess up your IMIE number pretty easily make a backup of your EFS folder before you do anything it contains your Imie number. And by backup I mean put on your pc to be safe
