[Odin]Stock EH17 Odexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19

First of all thanks to samfirmware. Odin this to get odexed stock EH17 with the purple CWM 3.1.0.1, latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.19.
Removed Asphalt Demo to make space for Busybox. Attached if you really want it.
Odin tar:
MD5: 417acf5bc49568fc3ca5505d04e9eed8
http://dev-host.org/gf9qor3y1btg/Odexed-Rooted-CWM-Busybox-EH17.tar
Odin 1.85 including instructions:
MD5: 7f574b567aa420e36c127d27e180a3f9
http://www.multiupload.com/W4AOLDRP52
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.

Awesome thanks .. Cant wait

Thanks, do you have a way to monitor download numbers? If so I am sure samfirmware would be interested to know just how many Epic users use their leaks...hence why they requested no mirrors for the files they posted to get a count. I know if i had not flashed yet and I had an option I would flash your awesome AIO tar... Thanks for all your work!

Unfortunately I don't have my own service I just use multiupload which doesn't give a count. If someone wants to mirror it to get a count or point me to a free service that will work I will be happy to do it.

I've been downloading theirs anyway each release to show support.

Use this: http://dev-host.org/
It shows the number of downloads when you go to download it. You start off with 20 GB I think.

Thanks your the best. I would love to see your mutt theme for this if you ever get a chance to mess with it.

No problem I might port it over depending on how the rumors go for an official update.

I look forward to a deodexed version with AIO as well once that gets around. I feel like EH18 will be the official since they never leak the official. But this will hopefully stop the memory leaks and random reboots.

I recommend just making an account. It's free and I'm guessing you won't go past 20 GB.
If you don't register, then you only get 1 GB.
Only cost $5.00 on PayPal for a donate version for a year which gives you a few more benefits.

Thanks for this!

I have no idea why this Epic is randomly rebooting. But it's really inconvenient.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/266817/ocs.android.72727.log
that was what popped up on the sdcard. I can't figure out how to read it. I am assuming that's the file the phone is creating when it reboots **RANDOMLY** several times a day.
if you can't read that, tell me how I can get the log that the phone SHOULD be creating when it reboots randomly... or a way to figure out why it's going this.

So this is still leak right? Not an official release yet?

Vibrant 4g bricked????

Okay i have a question about the T959v. Here are the facts: Phone was flashed with ODIN but the repartition box was checked. It was my fault because i didn't double check before flashing. Now the phone is in a recovery bootloop when i try to turn it on. I can reach DOWNLOAD MODE but then again if i try to flash it again same thing will happen. Is there something i can do or is the phone bricked because of that???? Thanks in advance!

What's the rom you are flashing?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Stock kd1 but i have some other roms like gingerbread...

Im using the .831 pit file also, but i have tried without the pit file and nothing. Also tried without repartition checked but it will do the same thing. Problem is that first time i flashed i had repartition checked

And your sure the rom is for the sgs4g and not the vibrant, right? Because the two are majorly different...

Yes i am, like i said the mistake i made was leaving the repartition option checked. For some reason the phone has a boot loop and when i hit reboot now on recovery it says failed to mount /data invalid argument. Never had something like this happened before and i have flash a ton on galaxys

I think Odin will auto re partition when you flash the pit. You can un check it and it should be fine either way.

I may be wrong but...
I think you need the csc. If your just flashing the pit and pda your missing the other partitions. I think when you repartitioned it wiped the partitions and you are missing one or more.

I had the same problem that you are experiencing. The fix for me was to get a full Factory load that was verified to be for the GalaxyS4G. Which is the model number that you listed. The Odin that I loaded is T595VUVKF1. This requires that you load each file in the proper Odin category. Use the Pit file, PDA, Phone and CSC files. Leave the repartition box checked and you should get your stock image back, from there you can install CWM and flash another image.

Allright thanks a lot! I knew something like that was happening but i have not been able to find a firmware with those files divided i mean the csc,pda, and phone files separated. Everything i found has been the package that you just file in pda... If anybody know where to find that i appreciate the link.

How to return to UCKJ2 after running new ICS leak?

So I installed new ICS leak using I727UCALC4_OneClick and was running fine but all of a sudden lock screen stop working. I reset the phone and ran it again and phone now freezes up every 5 mins. How do I get back to 2.3.5 UCKJ2? I already tried using Odin and flashing stockrecovery.tar and no luck still stuck on ICS. I downloaded SGG-I727-UCKJ2-k0kane.7z and also SGH-I727UCKJ2_I727ATTKJ2.rar but when I go into dl mode computer can't recognize these two files or just can't find them. I need help please, thanks in advance.

You probably need to unzip the .7z and .rar file to use them. I believe Odin only "sees" .tar files.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully and know what you're doing.

K0nane's thread should work for you if you read and follow the directions.
SamMobile.com also has original Skyrocket firmware that flashes via Odin. The SamMobile version is a more complete install that is reported to not trip the counter and show as "original Samsung firmware". I havn't tried either version so you need to read for yourself before you ask any questions or try anything.

ODIN doesn't look for files. You need to tell them where there are by clicking on PDA and choosing the tar from wherever location you saved it.

You need to unzip the files with an extractor. It has to be a .tar file to get Odin to see it. Plain and simple.

Yeah since its a .7z and .rar file, you'll need to download WinRar or 7zip to unzip them.
Winzip probably won't suffice. Good luck.

File was corrupted not sure why, now in dl mode I get error message that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I'm dl another one now and will unzip to see if that works, I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks

It worked but baseband isn't UCKJ2 and I keep getting foreclose message that google services isn't working :/ baseband is I727UCALC4

I strongly suggest you completely stop what you are doing and actually do a little research and reading before you go any further. Every issue you have encountered has been identified many times and is always caused from people not taking the time to learn about what they are doing for they jump right in. YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE IF YOU CONTINUE WITHOUT READING AND RESEARCHING!
The Kies message was brought up several times today in other threads relating to this ICS leak. You need to read all of the threads related to it.
I mentioned the counter in this very thread...if you would have read it. The baseband (radio) isn't flashed with K0nane's TAR or most other ROMS (unless otherwise stated). You have to go to the "Radio" thread in the DEV section and flash it through CWM seperately. It has been reported (by others) that the firmware at SamMobile WILL flash the correct modem and (I'll say it again) will not trigger the counter.
DO what you want, its your phone, but if you aren't going to take the time to learn about what you are doing you will be the owner of a bricked phone.

Rooted NK2 AT&T t337a w/ Tutorial

******UPDATE FIX YOUR T337A WITH LOLIPOP FRIMWARE FILE******* I do not take credit for this file at all, all credit goes to MichaelSaya. Here is a direct quote from him "Here is the link to my Google drive with the Official Lollipop Firmware for the AT&T TAB 4, SM-T-337-A https://mega.nz/#!0Q4AXQgZ!Df-pTUo6eA80kGTrzpYCAJ0ilGbUzMYCE4nRtvume6s Place in AP slot in Odin and flash. Be aware that many have been bricked. Only root with Kingroot and when you reboot, you will lose root. Simply re-root with Kingroot and you will be fine. DO NOT REPLACE KINGROOT WITH SUPERSU!!!!! YOU WILL BRICK!!!!! But we have the firmware now so we can now play around knowing that if we mess something up, we can fix it."
I found a way to re-root the t337a with the latest OTA NK2. Not sure if I was the only one in this boat or whatever but I got bored and started experiment. First thing i did was Flash the older NF4 kernel with ODIN. Put this in the PDA slot and flash! It was successful, I downloaded Towel root, and bam! Root working again ! Cheers!
Tutorial:
1. Get the latest drivers to make sure everything goes smooth http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...NG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.45.0.exe
2. Get Odin if you don't have it yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
3. Download the NF4 kernel from the attachment below
4. Go into Odin.
5. Click on PDA, search for the file you downloaded boot.tar and select it. Pic: http://i.imgur.com/XrqVPLZ.png
6. Now, put your tablet into download mode! If you don't know how to enter download mode go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDE1oB2-nYw its the s5 but same concept.
7. Plug in your tablet and it should say something like this in message window in odin: http://i.imgur.com/uWFc4YX.png
8. Now, hit start. Let the process run. If all goes well it should say RESET! I dont know what happened to this pic lol http://i.imgur.com/AbH5qW7.png but hopefully you get the point.
9. Give the tablet a few minutes to boot. Keep it plugged in until you see PASS! http://i.imgur.com/eTuHDUl.png
10. Go get towel root. Run it. And BAM! You are rooted again
*** WARNING *** This doesn't work with the lolipop update. I have tried to downgrade my tablet and it did softbrick it. Do not try to downgrade your tablet/try this method if you are running lolipop 5.1.1. This only works on kitkat. HOWEVER. I have the lolipop boot.tar. Use the instructions above to unbrick your tablet (This will not give you root access. I'm going to look at it and see if I can figure something out to get root access). I have not tested this myself because mine is at a friends house BUT this should work. Cheers

I found a way to re-root the t337a with the latest OTA NK2. Not sure if I was the only one in this boat or whatever but I got bored and started experiment. First thing i did was Flash the older NF4 kernel with ODIN. Put this in the PDA slot and flash! It was successful, I downloaded Towel root, and bam! Root working again ! Cheers!

Hi,
Neat ! so if the older kernel was compiled before towel root's october deadline [i think it was october] when that vulnerability
was closed then that would make sense. :good:
so the rom run just fine with the older kernel ?
could you post the older NF4 kernel/boot.img and modules ?
thanks
m

Absolutely! Heres the thing. I cant post links yet. Is there anyway i can pm itnto you and idk you set up a post? Or is there another way

So I put the kernel/boot.img in a attachment. Yes everything runs very smooth. Especially after all the frozen bloatware! Anyways happy rooting !
Also attatched is a screenshot with me rooted/on NK2 with the NF4 kernel!

You've got the wrong device. This is for the T337A, not the T537A.

Yeah you indeed do have the wrong device, however if you want i can upload the NE1 kernel (first kernel for the t537a). However... i have not tested it for this device. It should be the same concept but im not 100 percent sure it will work. Do you want to at least try? Ill post it in my next reply if you are interested in giving it a go.

Hey Man. I got that boot.tar from the T537A. Follow the instructions the same way except use this boot.tar. Hope it works. If it does, I'll add it to the tutorial. Let me know how it goes! PLEASE ONLY FLASH THE FOLLOWING ATTACHMENT IF YOU HAVE THE T537A! I re named the file but somebody might not read.

CocaFoca,
hi, this is off-topic but, do you have a working recovery for the 337a yet? Or a lead on unlocking it?
I've alternately tried to mod safestrap and actually build it from what sources Hashcode had up
but no dice.
on the odin image, it may have been packed wrong,
run this script in the same directory as the boot.img
#!/bin/bash
tar -H ustar -c boot.img > boot.tar
md5sum -t boot.tar >> boot.tar
mv boot.tar boot.tar.md5
odin complains about the md5 sometimes so you can skip
the last line, it will still flash.

I unfortunately do not. I do believe I know why safestrap isnt workin SElinux wont disable at all for me... Tried booting safestrap for different att phones and it woulndt stick always said not active. I believe we need to find a way to make it permissive then it will work? Tried the one on the market didnt work. I did get one to make it permissive but it reset after reboot :/ im just a newbie at this stuff but tbh I want to learn. Anyways... Im interested in this... Will look into it tomorrow

Coca,
ok you may need selinux enabled busybox, check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...de-busybox-snapshot-building-android-t2857650 , the OP is a good read the links are a ways down, i've tested out both versions and they seem square.
my last thought is to replace the two distinct busybox binaries in safestrap, busybox and bbx, my attempts with safestrap
end up rebooting to my actual recovery if that provides a lead. the version i chose for modding was Galaxy S4 (ATT) [JFLTEATT]

I'm not sure what happened CarlDinAZ but I had the same specs on my Tab 4 I just got through an upgrade from AT&T and after following the tutorial by Coca using the boot.tar he provided for the T537A and then rooting with towelroot I can confirm that it does work for this model.
Thanks for the boot.tar and tutorial Coca!

Just had a had a thought, maybe we could tweak a twrp version for say the t-mobile version and try to code safestrap into that and make it boot on our t337a? Recently had the need for a recovery and I want to help get it working! Do you think there is any chance with the one linked here?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/sm-t235-lte-rooted-twrp-2-8-alpha1-sm-t3027059
