So after rooting my phone i decided to ODIN my sidekick 4G back to KD1 firmware and start over.
i never installed any roms or messed with my phone but now that i want to try out the roms, the super one click method wont root my phone, in fact the program just freezes and doesnt do anything.
i dont know whats wrong with it, im fairly new to the whole thing but it worked before when i first tried it. can someone help me out and point out to what i did wrong? first time posting on here and i appreciate any help i can get thanks
anyone got any input to this?

so i have rooted my evo before but i had to take it in to sprint because i broke the screen. i havent rooted it again since because last time they gave me a huge problem that it was rooted. today, i talked to my friend and he has his rooted with roms and everything. he says that even if rooted, and with a rom it is possible to go back to factory with superuser app gone and everything, if need be. i wanted to know if this is correct, and if so, how?
i am supposed to go to his house tomorrow for him to do it all for me, i want to make sure i really want to do this.
thank you!

I think it's called a RUU rom. Wipes as if you were never there., back to factory stock.
Cheers!
do you have a rooted phone with roms on it?

First, you need to go to unrevoked and root your phone. There are plenty of step/step guides out there, I'll see if I can find a good one for ya. Recommend doing a bunch of reading before jumping in, or waiting for your friend to do it tomorrow.
Edit: be sure to click on More info link on unrevoked site and read up.
i could do the rooting, but do i need to do the forever root?

Here's a pretty thorough step by step guide for ya. goodandEVO
then just download rom manager?
my friend just got an inspire and he was asking me about how to help him root it and whatnot (cause he knows i have a cappy). and i was wondering what the simplest way to go back to totally stock was, like if there was an ODIN One Click for this phone like the cappy.

There is no "true" one click method for the inspire. Check out the guide that mudknot wrote and that should help out tremendously.

so when do you install the stock RUU, while you are still in the bootloader or let the phone boot up
Ok so I just got me a New samsung showcase. It came with 2.2 installed build number sch-i500.ee25. Ok so i find out about rooting and all this so i start researching all about it. Here is where i am. I rooted with SuperOneClick. Worked fine. I installed ROM manager to get the clockworkmod but it did not work so I used Odin to install clockworkmod. That worked fine. So at this point I decided i need to backup the stock ROM. I try this using ROM manager but no go. it reboots into clockworkmod and gives me the sd card not mounted stuff. So I read and read and read but i can't seam to find a solution to this problem. I know there other people that have had this problem. I have read through the step by step guides and i really see nothing on this. Anyone have any type of solution.
Running on stock 2.2 rom manager doesnt work. You will need to go into cwm by turning off phone, holding power,vol up and down at same time. after samsung blinks 2nd time let go of buttons and you will boot into recovery.
Thank you. I thought I tried that before but I guess i did something wrong. Worked that time. Now if my memory is correct from reading that will not back up two things. The kernel and something else. How do I back up the kernel? Or am I just not thinking correctly cause I have not had enough sleep.

First, Welcome!
Second, Download and familiarize yourself with a program called Odin. This phone is hard to brick. From nearly every situation you can flash back to stock with Odin.
Third, Showcase files are not common. Send me a PM and ill give you my email address. I can better help over email.

What will scare newbies off is when they start flashing crazy **** for another phone in the Phone box in ODIN or something and can't fix it by just ODIN'ing like you guys are suggesting.

Same phone
I have the exact same phone as you. I just rooted my phone for the first time yesterday and I am having trouble installing CWM. Can you explain to me how you used Odin to flash CWM. And after you flash CWM, is it possible to revert back to stock recovery? If so how?
Yes, this may be the wrong thread. Yes I know I am a noob and I apologized.
But I seriously think I effed up my phone and I really need someone to help me fix it. I was trying to root it via this youtube vid:
How to Root Samsung Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread 2.3.6 Part 1
But now it's stuck in an infnite static boot loop and sometimes won't even turn on. Is there any possible way to fix this or at least get it back to it's original software
Please help!!!
can u get into download mode?
Yes I can. Is there a kill disc program or something I can download to completely reinstall my original android software? At this poinnt I just want it back to where it was
You will hv to download ur phone's firmware an use odin to restore it to factory defaults, just google search ur phone's firmware ul find it an use odin ul be good

1. Get odin
2. Google search your phones factory firmware
3. Google search how to Factory Reset from boot cause im to lazy to go that far. its all over this forum.
and for the dude above me. just cause you have superuser on you phone does not mean it is rooted. have you used applications like setCPU, if so does it allow root access. if not you do not have a rooted phone. superoneclick. use it. its geat
Yeah, Odin is your best bet to go. Make sure you get the correct firmware. Whatever you do do some research on the stock Galaxy S 4G Gingerbread firmware if you make a mistake loading the wrong files and letting odin to go to work you will dead brick the phone. There will be a still chance on recovering it but you will need a person that can do that and there are some here, they will charge you like $30 for it at least. Good luck
If you have those on your phone then you are rooted

Hello,
I'm truly hoping someone can help me. I spent all night installing new roms on my phone. Ok let me back up. This is bout the tenth phone I've rooted. I rooted my blaze about 2 months ago using a one step(I think can't remember.) I never really installed a custom Rom until last night. The first Rom I installed was cm10, which I liked. Only problem was I couldn't mount my sd card because I am no where near a computer. So I decided to install the baked Rom. I was ecstatic to find that everything worked. However, the cm10 Rom seemed to be running at the same time. I found that very weird. So I tried to figure out a way to get the cm10 off my phone. For hours I tried wiping and reformatting different things from recovery. My problem is the last time I rebooted my blaze out wouldn't go past the Samsung screen. I've tried all combos of the volume up down and power key and it never goes past Samsung. I'm assuming I've bricked my. It will show the battery charging screen. 1st it'll show the stock screen then the baked screen for charging. Please help me. I've searched xda for help and can't find anything to help.
Ps. I'm not at a computer now but please list help for when I'm able to get to one. And yes I've only gotten about 3hrs of sleep in the last 20hrs from messing with my phone.
Sorry for posting in development first meant to post here.
Odin to stock uvlh5. From sammobile.com/firmware
Edited... because I speak without thinking
^ what he means is download the stock ICS ulvh5 firmware from sammobile.com/firmware for the blaze/sgh-t769 and flash it on Odin.

Thats why I have the sammobile firmware and odin on a backed up. I've tried to learn from my mistakes well that's what I have learned a lot here hahahaha
Oh i remember reading you are not around a PC a lot... you need a PC for ODIN sounds like you can't get into recovery so PC only other way I know of. If I helped push thanks
