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?

huh, it didn't seem to work.... it seemed to complete the lagfix conversion, but then wouldn't boot, would stay at the Samsung screen, doing those force close vibrations. wonder if I forgot something....
I used CWM from Rom Manager, then flashed the CWM 3:xxx zip to flash the kernel.

it should take less than 4 mins.

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.... I dunno, Odin seems inconsistent, but it always seems to eventually work.

This is currently in testing. I am not responsible for any bricks.
Once you ODIN and it boots you to STOCK recovery do a full data wipe.
Includes Factoryfs.rfs, cache.rfs, modem, and kernel.
Mod Edit, Link removed pending update/refreshed link
I assume the PIT isn't needed?

pull the battery, put back in
load ODIN, then hold vol up+down and plug in USB
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

Hi guys, irecently attempted to flash a rom to make my phone more awesome but I feel I fudged up. My mounts were not set right I think but my phone still booted up like it should.....but on first boot my screen looked like a bill cosby sweater but that went away. Now. When I try to go nto recovery or dl mode,my screen is black n goes to normal boot. Did I damage my recovery? N if so can I get it back?
Tried to turn it on again n I just get bootloops, still no recovery or dl mode.
Also in rom manager it said cwm and recovery were present, but when I tried to go into recovery I got the same.
Any and I mean any help would b appreciated....thank you
You flashed gb. For that you need the bootloaders for gb. Until you get those you will always have the rainbow scree on boot and no recovery. Find and flash the kg4 leak that will straiten things out.

Yes you need Odin. Just check out the Bible and grab the Samsung USB drivers for you computer then install Odin. Then learn to boot into download mode. And you will be ready for flashing. There is a tutorial also in the Bible on flashing with odin. Here is the Bible link, learn it well if you intend on keeping the phone. Happy modding

Again......many, many thanks to you
Step 1. look at the bible. Look for the kg4 rom, pit file and odin are included in the download.
Step 2. to get into download mode, pull out the battery, plug in your phone, hold BOTH the volume up and down buttons, then plug in the battery. Congrats. Youre now in download mode.
Step 3. unzip all the files from the .rar file you just downloaded.
step 4. start odin and input all the files in the corresponding order. It tells you where each file goes.
step 5. Click start and wait.
step 6. your phone now works.

yes u use all 4 p theres only one file u can use for pit in the zip so its self explanatory
for phone look for file that has phone in it
for csc look for file with csc in it

oh and if you're having trouble getting into download/recovery did u try using adb to get to them?
Just what everyone wants.... another thread about a bricked phone.
I have no idea what happened to my phone.... I have been running Valhalla Final for a week now with no issues to speak of and lost all my ringer tones after a failed attempt to put sound on a boot-loader using Absolute System. I rebooted into recovery and tried to restore my nandroid which failed when it said unable to unmount system. when I rebooted it had fc in android.core multiple times so I rebooted again and after it loaded had no control. did a battery pull and then would not go past the power up screen. downloaded heimdall one click file T959V-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar and put it into download mode. flashed and it went fine until factoryfs failed. now still in download but img is pic of phone to computer. last 2 attempt was
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar and it failed first at loading the modem and then at loading recovery.
I am lost. seems like everything I try makes it little worse. Have not tried ODIN yet.
Is there any hope or am I out a phone?
Give Odin a try. Last time I used Odin it froze so I pulled the plug, and when I put my phone back in download it showed that same screen, yet Odin still went through.
So no, that screen doesn't mean you're out a phone.

Grab chadster's KG4 here. I believe it has ODIN 1.85 included in the file. Don't mess with any of the check boxes in ODIN; let ODIN decide what to check.
After that, you should be able to get back to KJ6 via a one-click.
Shady grab Ravers stock GB and honks GB odin kernel. Flash Ravers, If you can, then honks. That will give you stock plus cwm. You know where to go from there. Funny thing is just yesterday FB had a post about leaving BOOTLOADERS alone w/o unbrickable mod. Good luck.

shady
Are you going with the chadsters leak or ravers stock?
I don't know why you guys keep recommending old (leaked) ROMs to debrick with.
@Shady if you see anything posted by myself, dsexton, bhundven or raverx3x you can bet that we've tested it extensively and that it'll work on your phone.
On that note I recommend you read the whole page here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Download from the SMS KJ6 (beta2d) Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders link. This will get you a one click flash solution that you can go back to when you have problems. This, unlike the KG4 file others have been recommending, is the latest version of gingerbread (KJ6 is 2.3.6) and you'll have a custom kernel + root to boot so you can get flashing other gingerbread ROMs. I hope you don't have trouble flashing, and if you do, read the OP to what I linked you to. All the instructions are there.
I know this file has been failing for you but you can try restarting your computer and flashing it from safe mode. When your computer is booting up, keep pressing F8 until you get a menu. Pick "Safe mode with networking" from the menu using your arrow keys and press enter.

Only because he was failing with one-clicks and wanted to use ODIN. That one (KG4) has always worked for me, so I was basing it off of experience. Never claimed it was optimal

I flashed the CWR through odin (I thought it flashed a kernel also) since odin said 'Kernel' on the progress bar.

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?

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.

I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Cool, thanks for helping!
Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket
Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

Got it! Working on downloading the .tar file from sammobile right now.
You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

I just wanted to make sure that I got him back on the upgrade path to ics if he wants and the tar file saved me so I can verify it personally. Don't want to trip his counter.

Yeah I know the sammobile tar works, I found it a while ago and have been telling people to use it.
If your entire life is on it, I'd take the time to backup your important files, so you don't lose them!
