I've been cruising around this forum for a couple hours and I see roms to flash via ODIN and deodexed and rooted stock, but no plain-jane out of the box ODIN.
Am I missing something? In the Captivate forum it was easy to find.
ODIN isnt a rom its simply a program/tool used to flash kernels, I recommend you use whitwhawxk's stock kd1 but it is rooted and deodexed (which are good things anyway)

Don't worry I do know that, lol. Not a complete noob.
I'm more concerned with UNROOTING to out of the box state for warranty or resale scenarios or to update via kies mini.
In the Captivate forum the plain Jane Odin was easy to find.
Thanks for your response.

So is that the official unroot method so far? Flash the rooted stock and use SOC to unroot?
Will that result in a perfect out of the box state?
Also haven't been able to find kies on the samsung website. Do I have to register before they'll let me download it?

What exactly were you trying to put on the phone? You don't need a cpu to flash a rom. Where you trying to flash CWM?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
It's power & vol down to get into CWM once you've flashed it. Follow the thread given by Waldano. This must be done before flashing any roms.
Is there a download mode for the g2x or is the volume buttons together the only way? Thanks for all the help guys I will post again a little later with a update

If you have already NVFlashed Clockwork Mod Recovery on the phone, you don't need a PC to flash again.
Download a good rom to a microSD card, throw it in the phone, use Clockwork to flash the zip from SD.
Or if you were smart, you would have performed a Nandroid Backup in Recovery before attempting to flash, in which you can just restore your backup and be back where you were at... which then you could download a different rom so the SD card USING the phone and attempt to reflash.
I messed up huge I flashed through rom manager that's why I can't get into cwm the phone wont do anything all it will do is go to the LG screen and the one with the little android Guy and a folder

Again, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work correctly with our phones. Whatever you need to flash, use ODIN or CWM. I'm not sure about UOT Kitchen though.
you flash UOT files though CWM, it works fine and I've done it many times.
Don't use Rom Manager.

So im using one of Dr honks's kernals. The 2.3.3 one with the messed up rainbow screen when you boot it up. Ive already had 4 problems with it and ive been running this for 3 days. Plus I cant even get into recovery. Is there a stable 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 kernal that has recovery?

All of them besides anythin 2.3.3. Stay away from anything of that build.

sounds like you don't have the correct boot loaders on your phone, and you didn't flash gingerbread properly the first time around.
follow FB's directions to get your phone on a correct gingerbread build with the right boot loaders:

keep it tho honestly because this is the only real device that sucks with rom manger and u wont always have that phone
Raver has a great app on his ROM for CWM access..it's called Quick Boot..get it from market. Remember with GB I'd use kj1 from drhonk. Only use Bali 2.3 with froyo.

Do you guys think that if I do a 2.3.5 kernal by Dr Honks that I wont have to factory rest my phone? Cuz I finally have my phone all organized and the way I like it most and that take forever.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
If u do that through CWM recovery then no u won't.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Kj1 would work best.. DL it through the phone if u want, move it to sd from the download folder (could be tapatalk folder depending on which browser u use) and flash through CWM . Should be pain free.

Didn't make a Nandroid of the Stock Rom just incase this happened? Also a prerooted version of the stock ROM would work. Also make sure you have S off, and stock recovery.

Thats why i need a stock 2.2. If even if its rooted. The ota will turn s-on, replace the recovery *clockwork is in it* and change it to a unrooted 2.3. Do you have a link?

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
Ill look for mobile Odin.

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:
