i just re-rooted my phone from stock, testing the Unroot now
Edit: it seems unroot didnt work, though like mentioned above you would only want to unroot incase of hardware issue or you want t replace the phone wit T-Mo, but thats all good now cause i posted a working Odin image earlier.

So cwm doesn't work for the sidekick 4g

i dunno about you but the root and unroot both worked for me i had no problem unrooting it

First off thank you for the easy root But now I have an issue, the SD card wont work, looks like it wont find the extension anyone know how to fix this? Ive used many different card and none read but I know all work. Without this I cant do a ROM

Try reformatting the card? Did they work before you rooted? do they work again if you unroot?

They worked before the root, I didn't unroot yet. When you out then in the phone and go to the SD card setting it shows nothing. Just says unavailable. So I can't even format it on the phone. I've formatted them in many ways on the pc too
HTC EVO = my best friend

did you try pulling out the sdcard and putting it back in? does it show a blank sdcard, or no sdcard at all?

need a mirror, site is down

I cannot get # in adb. Only $. Can anyone tell me why? I rooted with this method and have smooth maximus v2.0 and bali kernel v2.0. Any ideas?
Edit: Nvm. I had to update the drivers with the ones here.

[ALL] Sidekick 4G ROM/Stock/Root

The complete Sidekick 4G rooting/flashing/ toolkit!
Did you brick your phone? Check out the One-click "Easy ODIN" (Java required)
Do you need to root, but don't know how? (Who am I to judge?)
Are you looking for the best ROM for the SK4G up to date? (GOV2)
Do you need the CWM files?
Do you need all the drivers? (needed for "Easy ODIN")
Do you need more speed? (Check out the V6 Supercharger!)
Do you need faster 4G, or more battery? (Check out the 4G Blaze modem!)
If any of these fit you, chances are this kit is perfect for you. If it fits all of your needs, I guess it's just a match made in heaven!
If you find mistakes, please report them so I can correct them and reupload the pack. (I will be making changes as time progresses, so be alert!)
I have given credit to everyone whom I have used their tools. (Check the READMES)
Finally, enjoy! And thanks from everyone at XDA, you're a judgeless community and you helped me get better with Android in general!

I assume you rooted it with Super One Click so I have to ask.. Is this the first time you get into recovery? Have you ever been able to flash roms on this device?

Yea I used superclick, and I have never been able to get into cwm, only stock recovery, haven't flashed a rom....I read the whole cwm post and tried a few things but no luck.....from what I read the recovery isn't copying to the system/bin....but I am determined to get it, rooted every phone I have had since the g1....but any further help would be appreciated...thanks

yeah, it sounds like the recovery binary isn't getting into /system/bin. if you don't mind confirming.... you are extracting the recovery.zip, and putting the recovery file from in there into /system/bin? (then of course you have the update.zip, which is CWM, on the root of your sdcard)
and are you using a file program to paste the recovery file in there? and if/when you do, is it telling you that the file already exists and asking if you want to replace it?

Yea I extract and I am using root explorer and when I paste it, says 1 exsist and do I want to overwrite, I do so and update is on my sd..so I really am at a loss at y it isn't working...read the forums and people are doing the same as I am and it works...so don't know what my options are to achieve a new rom, lol...thanks for the help
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium

damn, ok, that's strange. the only last thing i can think of is, when in stock recovery, you are choosing 'reinstall packages'?
i hope you figure it out, the files definitely work, i just downloaded and used them a few days ago, so i don't know what's going wrong there.

Yea when in stock I choose reinstall packages, but always get the signature verification failed.....and from what I read its because of the recovery.....but I will keep trying and maybe get lucky on one of them....might just odin and redo the whole proccess again...thanks for the help...

you could try this in Terminal Emulator:
-type su and hit enter
-then do: cp /sdcard/recovery /system/bin
this assumes that you have the recovery file on the root of your sdcard.

I can't run Odin cuz I don't have a PC. I'm on a MAC. And I can't find the Heimdall files to flash over. If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry. I thought since I was requesting a Nandroid backup of a ROM that this belongs in development.

Hi there
Do not worry. It is easy to come back to the stock Rom. I have done this a hundred of times already. You only need to read a little bit the process to install via ODIN, I recommend you use a windows based software in order to make your software work with your tablet. Do not forget to install Samsung kies with the driver to communicate with the device as well as the odin software with the stock Rom which you can find both programs in this link:

I use a Mac and have installed Windows via Bootcamp. Would that be something you feel comfortable doing to have access to the Windows platform when you need it? It's pretty easy to do (lots of tutorials out there including one from Apple) and because it is free ATM, I installed Windows 8 consumer preview - and it runs pretty well on my Mac.

Funny thing, I actually did install Windows 8 CP as a Virtual Box, but my wife refused to let me parrallel it... She said "You wanted a Mac, not a PC. I'm not having you put Windows on the Mac... When I did a Virtual Box on it tho, the usb wouldn't recognize the tab, even with drivers installed... But I was able to get a hold of a Windows based PC for a little while early this morning and Odin'd the Tab back to stock... Finally.....
