yea, I apologize. right after I hit the post button I realized I had posted it in the wrong one. Is there a certain person who is supposed to fix that or can I do it?
and as for the reply above asking "wont the stock odexed roms do this"? they might but I have never been able to push the correct file to system/bin to fix the clockwork recovery so I cant even get in there to flash any different rom. I have been researching for a few hours and I think I can undo everything in superoneclick.

You *SHOULD* be able to get away with the KG2 ROM which T-Mobile sent OTA to the Sidekick a few months ago. You can get that and the PIT file required to flash it back via ODIN here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186954
*DISCLAIMER* I'm not responsible for anything you do or do not do here or any negative outcome. Of course, I'm happy to take the credit if everything turns out just peachy.

The link works fine, you can flash the KG2 one linked above this post or the KD1 version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088413 . Follow the instructions, then once you use ODIN to get back to stock you can return the phone as it is. It'll be just like the software was never manipulated.
Also, i'll be moving this thread to the general section by the end of the day. If you havent responded yet i'll PM you to see if you still need help.
Immediate action required
Yeah, lolzy title.
I soft-bricked my SK4G trying to flash a custom ROM without making any backups or checking anything prior.. and I suffered.
I have ODIN and the sk4g.pit file, a good USB connection with stock cable and I cna get into download mode. Everything is looking really good, except MegaUpload and MultiUpload are down thanks to our guys up in the White House.
So, my (really desperate) question is, can anyone give me a working link to either KD1OdinSTOCK.tar or KG2OdinSTOCK.tar ? Even if it's .tar.md5, as long as it is the file I need to flash back to factory firmware, I'll love you forever. Been looking for 2 days already =\
CONTACT INFO:
GMail: [email protected]
XFire: illusion2088
Yahoo: [email protected]
AIM: [email protected]
Any one of those will work. You can also PM me on my YouTube (Iraqnid2088) or PM me here on this website as I'll be checking everything.
Please help me, I'm really quite desperate. :\
EDIT: I found a firmware that seems to be the latest for SK4G, Looks like the tag is "KH1" Rather than KD1 or KG2.
androidwaptoday.blogspot.com/2011/10/stock-rom-t839uvkh1-221-for-samsung.html
I've downloaded it but I can't get into the .tar without a password? Is this normal for android firmware or is something wrong?
I'm also curious if I can odin my phone with this file rather than the other 2 mentioned above. Thanks again!
I also need the KD1 or KD2 firmware... it would be very helpful if somebody could post a working link!!! Ive been looking for 3 days haha
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Souldrainer, I think I may have found newer firmware. It looks legit and is from SamFirmWare.
http://hotfile.com/dl/145788939/08a9a06/SGH-T839_T839UVKH1_TMB.zip.html
That is the address to the file itself. If that does not work, look up "T839UVKH1" on SamFirmWare.com.
To get the password to open the file, you'll need to sign up on their website (free)
as far as I know, it contains everything KD1 or KG2 firmware would, and is newer. I believe you odin your phone with this program. I'm about to... as soon as I can get odin to recognize my phone.
the reason why i wanted it was because in case i did something wrong with CWM, because i cannot put the recovery file in with KJ2, i wanted something i could rely on to back it up because i can't make a nandroid backup..
I rooted the phone but it wont let me put in the recovery file, and when i try to boot into recovery i get the stock recovery, am i supposed to use the update.zip file that i got? cuz im not sure if it would work with KJ2.
and thank you for the file!!! i shall check it out xD
I believe the reason you're not going to CWM Recovery is because theres a binary file you need to edit since the SideKick has a faulty Recovery file.
http://www.simply-android.com/discu...work-mod-recovery-for-t-mobile-sidekick-4g/p1
If I'm not mistaken, the edited binary file can be found here, and that will allow you to boot into CWM Recovery. Be sure to back up the files just in case. And on the site it tells you to overwrite (still back up) so overwrite, and do not replace or rename. Hopefully that'll help!
yea but it wont let me replace the file, it keeps saying file already exists or that i cant do that

If you are rooted, you have to make sure that the system partition is mounted as readable/writable (r/w) before you attempt to replace the recovery binary file.
The easiest way to do that is download ES File Explorer from the market, then go into settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. Select the check box for "Root Explorer" ; then, check the box for "Mount File System". You will get a superuser warning prompt- "Allow" it.
Now go follow the process to overwrite the recovery binary and you shouldn't have any problems.
--Finally, make sure that you ALSO have the update.zip on your SD card and boot into recovery. You will end up seeing the stock recovery-select "reinstall packages" and voila... you should be in CWM.
The password is "samfirmware.com" without the quotes (simple google search).
So I also have this file (T839UVKD1) sitting on my hard drive waiting to find out: is this safe to use?
I don't care if it's new or old, it's the only .tar related to the SK4G that's downloadable and it just needs to work.
I just don't understand why no one will simply post T839UVKD1 or T839UVKG2 for those of us who need it (is it a bandwidth thing?), everyone just wants to say, "just go to here/this post," where all the wonderful instructions are that can help me save my phone, but where the links are dead (megaupload and multiupload are down, as we all know, so the files are unattainable) so we download Odin or Heimdal and the .pit file, but are stuck because: no .tar.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
T839UVKD1 SHOULD be safe to use proving the file you have is not corrupted, you can use it for Odin. if you wouldnt mind posting it i would really super appreciate it!

I downloaded that file, but couldn't figure out what to do afterwards. I watched the mobile tech videos and it seemed that he was able to just click on the file and open the odin, while when I try to open it says "can't find application to open" after I extract it. Also I don't understand why I have to flash back to stock when I'm already at stock.

First download odin from this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Open it first and then point it to your rom image that you would like to use, you don't extract the file you have, it's ready to use as downloaded.
Please watch the videos again because you don't understand it yet and you're well on your way to a solid brick.
BTW using CWM with a .zip is easier then Odin IMHO, and can be done completely from your phone, no computer needed, it will also let you know if you have the three button recovery ( very important if something goes wrong ).
Read, read and read some more. Flashing a rom is not hard but it does have to be done correctly. If you want an almost guaranteed result you'll do the homework and learn something. I've only been here a while and rarely do I see a question that hasn't been answered 50 times already, your answers are here, go look for them and you'll pick up other things you will need to know when you decide to be a bit more adventurous with setting your phone up JUST like you want it.
Thanks for the information, it looks like I got lots of work to do.. The link you sent me has a broken Odin link on the other side, do you have a mirror or some sort so I can get the file? Also my final question is that since I have a Rogers Captivate I need to JL1 file not a J16 right? I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this... Thank you.

do you want to install a custom rom?? like phoenix or cog? if you are already rooted, just install clockwork mod and flash it to phone... then reboot into recovery and choose install zip from sd card... then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. then find the zip of the rom you want to install. I'm a rogers user and I've flashed all the latest roms (currently using andromeda 2.0). Never needed odin.
oh I see thanks, I've tried flashing Cognition via ROM manager with no success. I had Cognition on my SD card, installed and flashed the Clockwork mod and then selected "install ROM from SD card". From their it makes me select my ROM and then after I do it takes me to recovery mode. From here I select Reinstall packages and it says something like "Can't verify file" in red writing and aborts installation. I've always thought that maybe since I skip the whole "flashing ODIN" step that's why it's not working but obviously that's not the case. Do you know why it's not working for me? Thanks for the help.
are you running rogers 2.2 update? it has 3e recovery and will not allow zips to be flashed.
if that's the case, you will need odin3 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
then put a new kernel in the PDA section. I used the tar file listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760
then with your phone powered off, sim card and memory cards out (put back cover on so the battery doesn't fall out) hold 2 volume buttons and plug in usb... should go to download mode. then hit start.
boot up will take a bit while voodoo formats ext4 on your files. after that, you can go into recovery mode and flash zips from sd card

when you flashed cog it would have put a new kernel on there. when you flash a different rom they come packaged with one the dev chooses. You can switch the kernel after with sgs kernel flasher or cwm

I am not responsible for brick phones. This method worked for me. If there is any confusion or something is not clear, ASK!
I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

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.

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:

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.

To all of you thank you very much for your help... I think I have my phone back.... Our fembot Linda is doing her thing right now...
@FB I tried one click method in safe-mode and it was unable to find the drivers even after reinstalling a few times.. restarted in normal mode and gave it one more shot and I now have my phone back.
Thanks again for all the help.

That's what I'm saying. I don't use heimdell(because my computer hates it for some reason). So ravers stock GB and honks kernel to get cwm works well to set me back up.

I totally forgot he made a stock ODIN. My bad!
I really need to rewrite the starter pack to have heimdall one click instructions. Nobody ever got around to making it.
I've only given the guide a cursory look at times, but I'd be willing to draft something for the guide if thst helps keep you focused on developing.

A video would be perfect. Been busy with school since I just started and now I got a gig making a website so I'm also working on that.

I've never done the video thing. Guess I can research it and give it a go.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
Hello Everyone,
Problem: Infuse will boot up and you see the ATT screen then 2 seconds later it sits on the SAMSUNG screen.
I have tried just about everything posted. I even tried the Infuse unbrick Odin pkg.
I CAN get into download mode. I can flash with ODIN. But upon reboot the phone goes back to the SAMSUNG screen.
How did I get here?
I had was running ZEUS. I had the issue with ppl not hearing me unless I turned speakerphone on and off for every call. I did a master reset. I had an issue with something else so I tried using a CWM flashable file which caused the problems needing the master reset.
I have tried many things but I am stuck.
I am trying to get an ODIN kernel that is moded like the V8 community kernel BUT all the links are broken.

Seems obvious to a rookie like me, but shouldn't you just use GTG's ultimate unbrick back to D5 stock and go from there?

I said I needed ODIN files...if I am stuck ont he SAMSUNG screen it means NO CWM for me. The links in the original community kernel thread are broken and several ppl have contacted the OP including me asking to fix the links.

Guys, I already posted that I tried that NO GO
I need the files from here BUT the links are broken
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
I think I can get it working again with a kernel that will convert to ext4.
I can not get into the phone to delete or change the voodoo lagfix.
It seems that the boot partition is not working right.
I can flash with ODIN the unbrick file and it will install but upon reboot still stuck at samsung screen. I can NOT get into recovery either.
WTF? Did I make a brick?
Someone has to know how to fix this

Dude.. if you can't figure this out with those links that I posted, then I don't think that I can help you.. I can somehow manage to odin myself and bring myself back to a rom with those files and the respective rom. And I know that there are other people that can too... good luck bro.. I'm done..
Edit: May I suggest this?
Edit 2: Actually, if you need the 3e recovery file. I just remembered that you need that too. Haven't seen a mirror posted for that. Maybe that is the element that you are missing? If it is lemme know..
It is really quite on xda today
Flash any GB kernel that's rooted, but uncheck reboot.
Then try to boot to recovery.

I am well aware of using this stuff. I flashed many phones and tablets hence why I like Samsung.
Yes, can you provide me the 3e Recovery ODIN file.
That would be a good thing to try.

I can only use ODIN files because I can ONLY get into download mode. I can NOT get into recovery to use any CWM files.
I have been trying to find ODIN kernel files but the ones available the download links are broken and I pm'd the OP as well as others that need the files but still no luck yet.
Can someone please post an ODIN kernel for me to try.
Edit:
Just to be clear I have now flashed the Unbrick ROM several times. It will load up and install. I get a green pass in ODIN but on reboot I see the ATT screen then stuck at the Samsung screen.
I have started to flash odin kernels from my captivate and tablet. They do get past the ATT screen and no Samsung screen but all I see is grainy stuff all over SO that tells me that changes are being made. I just need to try with an INFUSE ODIN kernel that might convert to ext4. I think that will solve the problem.
btw- thanks for the help...I am just ticked trying to get my phone to work.
I just need one damn file or small command to wipe the phone so it will take the stuff we are trying to push.
FIXED- I found the stock ODIN Rogers file rooted and that got me going.
The unbrick ROM does NOT work for ROGERS phones.
I went through the same thing about a month ago on mine... I eventually found the same file you did... it was a pain and since then if I've bricked I've flashed ultimate unbrick then flashed stock Rogers and it resolves my issue... I keep both saved on my computer now

Simple Fix...
Use. GTG's ultimate unbrick.
Download http://www.mediafire.com/?i57410xodydx5l1
Follow the easy steps.
This will bring to how you bought the phone.
SECOND to all with BLACK screens.
Turn off the phone using power and volume up and down.
While plugging in the phone to the USB. Release power button.
This may take multiple tried, but you will get the download screen eventually.
Its all about timing.
YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE BRICKED.
The down loader is not on the internal memory,
it is on a FLASH ROM separate from everything else.
Thanks to "secretasianman"

People need to remember that not everyone is using AT&T Infuse, gotta clarify that before posting guides.
And yeah keep the stock rogers rooted rom on your desktop, comes in handy for a quick return to stock if anything goes wrong.
I have seen many posts about this before, and tried to follow them and they did not work for me. Was trying to install a rom then realized it soft bricked because i still had the stupid voodoo cwm installed. So i go to use odin and flash stock. Did that, all settings were fine in odin, but im stuck at TMobile Sidekick boot screen. Ive tried odin MULTIPLE times now and its still not working. Any hope?
Hmm, did you try Odin with 're-partition' checked? I always check that when Odining back from Voodoo lagfix.
Yes i had that and auto reboot checked
that's strange. well, as long as you have the SK boot screen there is definitely hope. what stock tar file are you using, where did you DL it? and you had the pit file in place too, yeah?
it should work. also, there is adamoutler's Heimdall as another option, i have used that also.
I did have the pit file in. and i selected KD1OdinSTOCK.tar through PDA. Also i could not figure out heimdall..
you might wanna try the KG2 file, the KD1 was not as reliable to me, from what i remember. will link you to the KG2 in a second...
find the KG2 Odin Tar in the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538576
that should hopefully work for ya.
Downloading now thanks for the link
no problem, let me know how it goes.
still not working
[EDIT] I downloaded a different KD1 and it worked! thanks for the help though!
yikes, sorry about that. not sure why that would be... unless one of the components of the tar file isn't flashing.
so it is hanging at the boot logo when it tries to boot up? Odin runs thru the whole process(about 3-4 minutes), and you get the green "Pass" message at the end.
a different KD1 download worked thanks though!
ok, great!
Can i get the kd 1 tar file u used to fix ur sidekick 4g
plz help me i need the kd 1 tar file that u used to fix ur sidekick 4g
