Droid Charge unroot ODIN

I recently rooted the Droid Charge using ODIN, no issues. I have a custom kernel and I decided to try a rom and it was awful. Anyways went back to my Backup through CWM, no issues. My phone is now lagging beyond belief. I can't do anything at all. I really want to unroot. I know how to use ODIN and have experience with it. All i need is the .tar file for the factory restore. If anyone has a download link or a place that has one that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Have you checked the development section? They have every file you could need with instructions.

Yea i have found one for the samsung pst but i need one for odin samsung pst wont work on my crappy computer.

There are other threads on this issue, and it pretty much means that your internal memory is somehow corrupted.

John, not sure of your experience level or what you are trying to accomplish with that particular flash but make sure you have the basics covered. Correct and uncorrupt files. Phone in download and put battery back in and use of PDA in Odin.

my experience is very little. i attempted to follow the post that gave step by step instructions on how to get a device back to stock. i thought i followed it perfectly. guess not... i purchased this device already rooted, and it wasn't working properly which was my reason for wanting to get it back...

I have read a few people were able to fix this by running Odin with pit file over and over till it worked also you could have used the cwm install zips to get back to stock those seem to have less issues

Recover from soft brick

Hello everybudy here is a guide to recover from soft brick(I ave only tested it on S7500 not other)
So do it at ur own risk
First download odin3 v1.85
Download stock firmware for ur cont
Extract both in a particular folder
Open odin
Go to Download mode in ur phone and press volume up
Connect ur phone to pc
If odin shows a yellow mark then u are ready to proceed
Mark PDA & and selct file
Click start in odin
Keep patience
After process is over odin will show pass
Now ur phone will reboot
(DO NOT REMOVE USB CABLE TILL ITS REBOOTED PROPELY)
Complete the setup
Now again switch off mobile as as the process has not been completed yet
Go to recovery mode (this time it would be stock recovery not cwm)
In recovery mode select wipe data factory reset and wipe cache partition
Reboot.
Now u are done!!

whats new in this there is a sticky in which hole process is shown correctly
and 1 thing -
you should edit PDA ...it is different for different countries
you provided the firmware which is not for Indian users

this is were you can get firmware for your own country !!

Ok i have edited pda and u can check the link
Also, I am a Indian and have tried this and its almost same
Only we have to change the language
Thanks any way

There has also a type of soft brick where you will not be able to access download mode. Then odin will not work
then use USB jig. See http://www.xda-developers.com/android/need-a-samsung-usb-jig-build-your-own/

[Q] Root attempt gone wrong

Hi All,
I've attempted to root my SM-900, using Odin 3.09 and followed all the usual steps.
Suddenly I got different coloured horizontal lines on screen and that probably means my attemp didn't go that well...
I've read I should go back to the original firmware using kies, and then try again.
So how do I restore the original firmware?
I have an image (.img) and understand I need samsung Kies.
Question: Do I use Kies or the new KIES3?
How to go from there?
Or is there another way to restore the firmware?
Thanks in advance!

I figured it out already....
I un-tar-red the recovery file. Leaving it as .tar solved the issue.

my tablet is stuck,tried different usb ports,different odins,different cables .gets stuck on set up connection,now all i get on screen is FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE

Had the same issues. Solved it by reinstalling the USB drivers. Via Kies 3, under the Tools menu. Worked perfectly after that. (Edit. ...for CFautoroot)

Since the recovery image was downloaded as aan .tar file, which is a container file like .zip or.7z, I thought that I needed to unzip it.
You can mount the .tar file in Odin as it is, without unzipping it first.
You can find the recovery download location in the CF-root thread.

yep me too..

I'm having this same problem. I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip from download.chainfire.eu. I extracted the zip file, leaving me with a tar.md5 file. I try to flash that file, and end up with multicolor bars across the screen, exactly like if the video card dies on a mobile.
Here's what Odin has output as of when the error occurs. It flashes up a big red failed in the upper left box.

So I flashed the original recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50492301&postcount=234 and got a working but unrooted tablet. And I flashed CF with both 3.09 and 3.07, with a flash back to stock before each. Same thing every time-picture of a dying video card, except display is fine once flashed back to stock. Pic of the display added, on the off chance it helps.

Install Kies 3, then go into the Tools menu and reinstall the USB drivers. Reboot. Try auto root again. Should work on the first try.

I did. I did the uninstaller for the USB drivers several times, with no luck. So finally I just deleted the Samsung folders in program files and program files x86. I did not reinstall Kies, just the USB drivers from samsung.com. I used odin 3.09, and it went flawlessly. Well, mostly-wifi took a *long* time to reconnect the first time after boot, but I'd also installed the update just before rooting, so dunno if it was the rooting or the update.

How many are remembering to unhide developer options and then select usb debugging? The moment I did that everything worked

Whwre did you find the USB drivers on samsung.com? When selecting the SM-P900 it does not offer any for download.

So this happened to me, and this is my first time rooting. I have the tar file for recovery. How do I proceed? I haven't unplugged my note pro, can I just put in the new file in the pda and start, or do I need to restart odin? Really kind of worried...
