One click odin????

Is it possible to make a one click odin for our phones???
the story.....
my friend gave my his samsung captivate to unlock and root. I had all of that done. Then he asked me to put a ROM on there. Thats where i FU**** up and i bricked it bad. screen blacked out wouldnt boot into recovery NOTHING. i was searching around and found a one click odin for the captivate...long story short i have the phone back up and running.
This would be VERY helpful
THANKS
The thread where i found it
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/140190-whats-odin.html#post1527154

I must be missing something, cause that thread looks like it's using the exact same steps as our normal method for Odin. I see no One Click link or instructions anywhere there.
Also, this belongs in the General section.

sorry for wrong section...
scrool down till you find a post by james 27007 September 5th, 2010, thats everything i did it has the link to download the program
but basically all it is you have you phone booted into recovery plugged into to recovery the program says device found then all u do is let it run when the device resets your back bone stock

That's basically all we have to do now... the only added step is putting in the pit and PDA...

yea but with this program all you do is click start and it does everything for you

You still have to install the drivers, and get your phone into download mode, that's the hard part for most users. I'm not sure how he made that.

okay well i just thought id see because i see alot of people asking questions about where to put the files and stuff like this just thought it would help

Odin is already so easy to use... a child could use it no reason to make it more simple

[Q] MyTouch 4G Factory ROM

If anyone is able....and willing to help, I'd be most grateful.
I know there are many pages in the forum and the net that touch on this, but as one post puts it, almost too many.j
that is the least of the problems. I am a total newbie and get so confused.
When I originally rooted my phone it was with help from someone, now a friend, who I found on YouTube. I always saw confusing ways to root, where you can't miss ONE character. Somehow, don't ask me, feel free to tell me, we rooted with hardly any of that . Some character typing was done, but a lot was using programs, ROM managers, etc.. and hitting buttons.
So it was Rooted and I had no problems flashing ROMS
Now selling. I was gonna sell with MIUI...as I advertised. It was recommended by someone on here to put the factory firmware on .
1. That means flash the original MyTouch 4g firmware/UI/whatever?? ...or does it mean unroot
2. If it means the former, I found one site it gave me this file PD15IMG can I just flash that. It led me to believe I can. It won't be unrooted but it would be the original ROM
3. Or should I unroot. Is anyone willing to walk me thru some steps on here, maybe thru PM...I just get so confused by this stuff because it talks about s=on or ???
4. Lastly, this gent recommended I flash that OR reflash whatever I am gonna send, then Factory wipe. I thought reflashing WAS factory resetting.
Can you tell me how to factory reset AFTER I flash a ROM
LIke I said, I have searched and did find some of this in different places but in jargon I don't understand
So please if you could answer any one or all of the above Id be grateful. If you like I can paypal you 5-10 dollars or a few more if we spend time on it.
Sincerely
Eric

Did you root your phone with Gfree or the root.sh method?
---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------
Actually you can put the PD15IMG file on your SD card and boot up into bootloader. It will ask you if you want to apply the update...say yes. BE PATIENT. It will get you back to stock.

Check the development thread for the RUU file posted by Football. Name it pd15img.zip put it on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader and let it flash. That's it. Super easy, no dicking around with anything else.
DON'T FLASH IT WITH RECOVERY!

Much thanks to the 3 of u. It may be a non issue...as I am not hearing back.from the buyer and it was advertised to be sold with MIUI with pics and he may have liked the iPhone 'look' In answer to your questions I was helped by Mack on YouTube to root. I do t k ow which way. I DO know it was the easy way....it involved very little typing and worrying about messing up a character
I have only used ROM Manager and CWM within that. When I reboot I see the option for bootloader. Is it 'dangerous?'
This is what I am gonna do tell me if correct
Take that last link. Hook up to Computerput in root of SD card. Hit restart except dont hit normal
or recovery...hit bootloader...it will restart...maybe hit yes or enter when asked
-only if he gets back to me today if not tomorrow is the 5 th day since he bought it and I have a 4 day turnaround so I will mail as advertised. He has 0 points, sales or purchases on EBay
-for some reason I am getting no email notification for xda when I select it.
-I get some keys that dont type occasionally it may have started with MIUI. could that be beccause of it. Someone on here, a senior told me as good as MIUI is it is unstable
-regardless of which I flash/leave on. How about the factory research tying. Thought that was just the reflashimg. For MIUI I JUST hit wipe data in recovery right after flashing and restart. I guessed that because I did that once by mistake and it restarted with MIUI there
I appreciate all your help and patience here. For all of you I can't give u more than thanks for hopefully getting me thru this. I dont think its my lack of intelligence that can't do it. Its my anxiety, health situation and lack of fundage to be able to brick a phone. No mas for me
That same gent told me that he thinks in HTC phones that once u flash a ROM he thinks u lose ROOT?
I hope to hear back and have a good day

No, it is not dangerous. The last link is the RUU (PD15IMG) of the stock ROM. And your steps are good to go. Go into bootloader and let it do its thing.
Flashing rooted ROM's will not make you lose root. You only lose root flashing an unrooted ROM, such as a stock ROM.

To help, we really need more information. What state was your phone in before you tried rooting it? Did you use AAHK or HTCDEV? IF AAHK, what did the AAHK session say in the terminal on your computer? If AAHK, did you read the manual? What does the hboot menu say?

Hmm I got my phone from wisconsin, it's AT&T and I don't know amything besides that it says main version is older, update has failed while holding down power button and down volume buton, did a factory reset nothing happened..

I asked you a laundry list of questions in my earlier post that you haven't answered. For example, what did AAHK say? And can you boot into the phone (not the bootloader or recovery)?

okay heres the video i followed on youtube, HTC INSPIREG 4G 2.3.5 and its the first video by jonathan collins date sept 19 2012, and everything worked exactly at the point up until 7:17, its doesnt go to that screen, it shows a black screen, with red traingle on it. And how could i check the boot?

Um, I am not going to go looking through YouTube for link to this video and then watch it to figure out what you did. I am asking you to tell me here what state your phone was in before you started and exactly what steps you took to get it in its current state.
To boot into the bootloader turn off the phone (battery pull if you have to) and hold down volume-down and power.

OKay fine than, and what state, what do you mean what state, speak English please!
What did i just tell you? I said when i press the volume down and power, its says main version is older, update has failed.

Good luck.

Have you read the Hack Kit site and the effen manual? that is why you missed to follow half of the process (maybe you can read this, that is in plain english: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88). Red triangle, is stock recovery as stated in the instructions on screen while running the Hack Kit.
If you are willing to hack your device, make sure that you read and are able follow instructions first. Video tutorial are useless because they skip most of the important things, such as preparing your PC to run the Kit and NEVER FACTORY RESETTING because you delete usb debugging drivers from the phone that way.

You should take advantage of the irc channel mentioned in the Effen Manual, but only if you're willing to do your homework. They're doing excellent work there, and they're ready and willing to donate their time to help you. But they're also experts at detecting who hasn't done the due diligence they request, and they won't help you if you don't do your part.
You'll need to give them what banangranola was asking you about. His point was that you're telling us that in the state your phone is in now, when you do X you see Y on the screen. That's important, but also meaningless if you can't explain exactly what you did to get your phone from its original state to where it is now. With computers especially the past is the key to the present, and doubly so when we're rooting phones and doing things that the manufacturer didn't intend general users to do. Something apparently went wrong in your execution of the AAHK script, and you need to help the experts determine exactly what went wrong so they can tell you how to get from the present state to the desired state. If you're getting the stock recovery screen I doubt you've bricked it; but you need some expert help from here because AAHK is predicated on the phone being in a certain state.
And by "state" all we mean is what has been installed/configured on the phone. When you get it from the manufacturer, it is in that original state. When you execute steps1 thru n of some procedure from Youtube or the Effen Manual or whatever, you're changing the state of the phone each time. So you need to be able to state exactly what you did and what you observed when you did it. If you don't remember parts of it or are unsure, then just say so.

[Q] Recovery/Back up/Flashing ROMs CONFUSED

Hello! I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
First of all here is my phone info
Rooted RAZR maxx hd with unlocked bootloader (XT926)
My main objective is to flash custom ROMs and see if any are better and faster than stock.
My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't seem to find any threads that are simple enough for me to understand what I need to do and in what order I need to do those things.
Supposedly I need to back up my phone which seems to be the same thing as having a recovery???
If there is a thread that simplifies backing up and using a custom recovery please post a link.
I don't understand how to back up my phone, or if I use my computer or phone to do said back up.
I don't understand how to use the app ROM manager, my phone isn't listed on it when I try to download clockworkmod. So I downloaded a file cwm.img and I don't know what the heck to do with it?
I think I have adb on my computer?
I'm so confused and there's too much information and it makes no sense to me. Can someone please help me or post links to SIMPLE walk throughs of what I need to do and tell me what order I'm supposed to do them in?
I'm sorry if you think I haven't searched because I've been searching for a long time over a few days and all I've found is information that is too complex for me.
I appreciate any help! I'm new and I don't want to hurt my phone.

Mine is a Razr HD (XT925) But it's mainly the same except roms and some tools (and probably some other things I don't know...)
My main objective is to flash custom ROMs and see if any are better and faster than stock.
Which is the idea I had a week ago
My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing.
I was exactly in the same position since this is my first smartphone ever ^^
I can't seem to find any threads that are simple enough for me to understand what I need to do and in what order I need to do those things.
Well I had to search a while cause I first of all wanted to backup the most I could before doing anything.
Supposedly I need to back up my phone which seems to be the same thing as having a recovery???
This is a good thinking But there are limitations on what you can do without making the first thing which is rooting your phone "and then unlocking it".
If there is a thread that simplifies backing up and using a custom recovery please post a link.
I don't understand how to back up my phone, or if I use my computer or phone to do said back up.
The first thing I could do, was to backup the Apps/Contacts/etc... by using some apps like : MyBackup
The thing is : these applications are limited until you are rooted, because you wont be able to save apps data like your game scores or whatever
The second way to backup, is to make an entire backup of your system and data, which can only be made after unlocking the bootloader (by installing a custom recovery).
Be careful, unlocking your bootloader will ENTIRELY WIPE the data you have so make backups BEFORE.
I don't understand how to use the app ROM manager, my phone isn't listed on it when I try to download clockworkmod. So I downloaded a file cwm.img and I don't know what the heck to do with it?
Not sure about it because I never got that app before unlocking my bootloader.
I think I have adb on my computer?
To get adb on your computer, you need Android-SDK.
I'm so confused and there's too much information and it makes no sense to me. Can someone please help me or post links to SIMPLE walk throughs of what I need to do and tell me what order I'm supposed to do them in?
If you need more infos, dont hesitate to ask me on your post Ill subscribe to it in case of
I'm sorry if you think I haven't searched because I've been searching for a long time over a few days and all I've found is information that is too complex for me.
I can understand, personnaly im working in IT and I understand how this can be a pain when you have no knowledge at all on that subject :/
I appreciate any help! I'm new and I don't want to hurt my phone.
Once again, good thinking, but even thought, going where you are going is very risked.
And I can tell...because I nearly bricked my phone...as you can see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631547

Not pocket proof:
CWMR be careful of the double touch conformation!-you can use the keys til you are versed w/ the input flukes that inspired Philz recovery. Otherwise solid & simple.
I use Philz which may support everything in Rom Manager soon.
RM works w/ Photon Q recovery works on all the msm8960 phones, xt907, 925, 926, mb886. keys only.
All recoveries
Just because you can format it, it still may not be supported in the backup or even the xml restore (/persist)
edit
Get a SANDISK 64 GB CARD, FORMAT FROM RECOVERY to default format-fat32. Then when in doubt BACKUP.
All for now
bye

No offense intended, but if it's too difficult for you, than you probably shouldn't touch the phone until you understand everything. Before you start modding, you need to know how to recover it so we don't have another brick. Once you start to understand the minor things, it will be like a light switch and the more complex things will start to make sense.

I do believe a 925 can save themselves the bother of the factory path if they do not mind it being not reversible. Yet both are irreversibly noticeable.

Sorry about that I thought XT926 were close enough from XT925 (which is the only device I own) to have the same unlocking process.
My bad ^^

well if you're already unlocked and rooted, use this
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_xt925
follow the instructions, go to the development forum, download TWRP, CWM whichever floats your boat, and just use adb and fastboot.
id reccomend a backup, nandroid, titianium, etc.

This is an excellent point. When I first got into this a couple of years ago, I soft bricked my Bionic. I was able to recover it, but I could have avoided the problem if I had read a little more first. Now I read, read, read before trying something new. I found YouTube videos very helpful when I was a noob. Rootjunky is one resource, online and on YouTube. rootjunky.com

yes i supposedly backed up with cwm, but the last time i got in that option, it did not find that backup.
at least there is a firmware superthread, but my cwm is for 4.4 only, so id have to flash another cwm to go back to stock jb
i find a titanium backup to be better, just backup my sms/calls, wifi keys, and user apps...

No offense taken! I appreciate the constructive criticism. That is why I posted this question. I am reading all I can and I won't be attempting anything more until I understand the concepts. I just didn't know where to go for a more simple explanation of these concepts since apparently I'm not as intelligent as 90% of you guys on this forum!
I have already rooted and unlocked my phone so that's a good start haha. I will now follow the advice given in this thread and hopefully learn enough to understand these more complex concepts!
I appreciate everyone's information and responses!

Ok so I am unsure if someone is filtering out OLD topics but i keep coming across FORUM posts from people and it seems like they are getting no help or being referred to NON existent topics.
I just recently bought a HTC ONE M8 H/K from sprint. I have had android for a decade and am seriously tired of the ROOT it people. so I figured why not no down falls and everyone says it is easy. Well I am Murphy last name law and you people have not seen or know the things I am about to post
I recently spent over 32 hours watching video and preparing for ROOTING. I unlocked phone got Pilz touch recovery and everything worked fine. I even got CWM and SUPERSU and Busy box. all of which needed OTHER files to work properly. Again a few forced quits everything was fine.
I wanted to Switch to TWRP and the install didnt go through. however now I have BOOTloop. trust me this is the tip of the berg at this point.
Just short of finding NO help after another 24hrs binge session on the CPU and just shy of RUNNING MY PHONE OVER WITH A DAMN CAR>
I get oh so simple easy fix and the only posts I see are FIXED IT!!! so that helps me approximately as much as my phone helps me make phone calls currently.
After the boot loop SEVERAL friends versed in this so called ROOTING (which I still find to be a hoax and not actually possible by any means at this point and time.) and no one has any clue. Tried flashing ROMS RUU's everything comes back to NO will not work.
Then it brings me to the STOCK RUU config for the HK M8 which seemed like it was going to work through ADB flash but guess what. 2 hrs idle NOTHING. after that The recovery program dropped out and boot loader only stated RUU in the menu. (something never before logged in a forum or post as I can tell) after many attempts to do GOD KNOWS WHAT WITHOUT ANSWERS as i was about to smash my beautiful gold phone into a dozen tiny peices and claim accident the Recovery came back to...... You guessed it NOTHING. All directories are UNMOUNTED and cannot be mounted.
I am stuck. Seriously you all fix my phone or help i am willing to send gifts because I am out 700$ now on this nice paperweight but everything and everyone tells me. OH SO SIMPLE you have recovery it aint no thang.
Well guess what it is and I am tired of being so PISSED OFF for something that was so automated.
Again I am Murphy and what you attempt to get me to follow will come up with some REALLY weird repercussions I will post back.
Please oh mighty gods of ruining my life. Spare me this one thing I will never ask for another again.
How do I get my phone to just WORK, Simple. Right?

Hi there! I think I found a thread that can get you back on track. Please read every word carefully and follow every step. If you have further trouble or want to clarify anything, please ask in the thread. They know the device best and can help you I'm sure.

I'm afraid that is the extent of what we do in the XDA Assist Section. We are guides...pointing people in the right direction when they can't find what they are looking for. Unfortunately we don't do hands on support in this section, so as I said....if you need a further hand, I am sure someone in the thread I linked can help.
And make sure anything you download and flash is for your model. And as always, do a Nandroid backup in recovery... before flashing anything new....it can be a lifesaver to help restore you when you hit trouble.
Good luck!

Details
Let me re iterate.
All guides are demanding S-Off (cannot as I cannot acess phone apps to do so)
All guides need HOME access for apps to modify certain things
I cannot:
Push packet through adb as they are unreadable
Get past boot screen
Recovery is only 40% operational with visibilty of phone only working sometime.
Cannot flash
Cannot push
Cannot fastboot
Cannot see device on CPU as it is stuck in recovery
ALL DIRECTORIES in /SDCARD have been removed
No Firmware
No RUU
No img
As far as I can tell.....Phone is empty and cannot be populated with anythin. I did manage to get SuperSu pushed through and installed. But how do I open it?
No ROOT access as well in the recovery.
I followed ALL STEPS of EASY guides even downloaded one button app that runs it all for me. Can't talk to phone does not see it in ADB.
The other guide I went to was helpful but I have already attempted all of those things.
With an empty phone NO DATA and no ability to get ADB to even run data over cable I am baffled.
I did exactly like the 500 guides i read said.
1) bootlock unlock
2)instal recovery (Philzmod)
3) get CWM (retrieved from playstore) Need a .zip to run in ADB
Phone worked fine until I changed from Philz mod to TWRP which never took place. Philz mod still runs but TWRP said it installed.
Now I have a completely worthless empty phone and I have cried about a tub worth of tears over the 700 i will be dropping over the next year for a piece of metal.
Oh and 99.9% of time if ADB DOES do something either no directory once pushed, cannot read or cannot FIND/Open directory stating BAD installation aborted I NEED a better recovery

I understand your frustration. Not a fun situation at all.
As I said, XDA Assist is here to help navigate the website. Not to troubleshoot I'm afraid.
The purpose of XDA Assist... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764768
The very best place to ask for help in your situation is right here, in the Q&A section for your device... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764768
The people there know your device best. Start a thread that's to the point, polite and accurate....what is exactly wrong, and the exact steps you took to get there. And hopefully help will follow.
Hope it can be solved for you!
