I flashed the 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5. I didnt see that it worked and then went back into download, thru Odin, tried to flish cwm_Recovery4008.tar. Got a fail and now when i try to turn on it just shows an icon of a phone with a yellow triangle exclamation point between that and a computer icon. it still goes into download mode with volume down and usb connection but it wont flash the default VZW rom back.
Suggestions?
Battery in or out?
battery in = (phone) ... ! ... (cpu)
battery out = can still go into download mode
Did you come from another rom? I think if you want to flash back to stock from another rom via odin you need to also flash the pit file. At least thats what I had to do.

No i had reverted back to the stock (pentafive ee4 full factor tar).
Have you tried everything from imnuts Fix your Phone thread?

Ya i got a fail for that as well on Odin. Also tried the Samsung PST and it said error download there as well

Are you keeping the battery out during the entire process? You're using the PIT too with the Re-partition box checked (unchecked Auto Restart and F. Time)?
I left the battery in cause in step 4b he says to but anyways it worked. the first time i tried i was using the ed2 file cause for some reason the ed1 link wasnt loading. then i realized i had that file already from somewhere else and used that and it went through

Right now, your best bet is to apply whatever system updates there are. If your phone doesn't get you up to EE4 on its own, then you should follow imnuts' instructions here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10202-how-to-prepare-for-the-gb-ota/
At some point today, someone will be able to confirm whether the update.zip (leaked) is truly 100% identical to the update.zip that Verizon is pushing out for EP4. If it is, then we'll be safe update to EP4 ahead of the OTA, root, restore any backups, and apply working EP4 themes. I'm anxiously awaiting the ability to depoop my phone--rolled back to stock EE4 last night and have hated my phone ever since!
Haha same. I returned initially for the same reason and then was so sick of it i pushed ahead and messed it up. Still haven't gotten the update tho
Happened to me once. Used stock ee4 odin with the charge .Pit file imnuts posted and it brought me back to stock

Can anyone help please? I was running stock ED1 and decided to update to EE4. I put Voodoo lagfix on, then flashed the EE4 update that was in the general forum through recovery as an update.zip. It stopped about halfway through for some reason, leaving me with an "unknown" baseband and thus, no way to get a signal. All attempts to flash different radio updates failed. So, I decided to flash everything over. I flashed the stock ED1 through Odin, but it keeps saying the MD5 checksum is invalid, so I flashed Altered Beast. This got me clockword mod, but still no baseband. Finally, I tried to flashed debloated EE4 through clockword and now, I'm stuck at the Samsung screen, with no way to get into recovery. Any suggestions for my noobness? :/ I can still get it to connect to Odin.
Ok, quick update. I got Altered Beast reflashed. CWM is still on there. I'd like to get back to stock, ED1, ED2, EE4; I don't care which, as long as I have a working baseband. Suggestions?
try redownlolading ed1 because the md5 has to do with the file itself not the phone. Then connect to wifi and update to ed2. after, try flashing the update .zip thats from the forums while you are stock, no custom recovery or anything other than root ed2. if none of this works, then you probably burnt out your sim card like i did accidentaly by activating my old droid x. so if you did burn the sim card, go to best buy or verizon or the costco wireless booth and have them activate a new sim card for you. this happened to me where i couldnt get data or anything and i got a new sim card and pow! it worked. try my initial instructions first. and make sure you are using the PDA button in odin

whenever you flash an update you need to be completely stock thats including the kernel
i would disable lag fix then flash ED1 downgrade and try to update if it doesnt let you i would unroot and bring your phone into VZW tell them the update failed and left you with unknown baseband.
you may be a good test subject to try out his idea on flashing a radio , if he is there yet
also you posted in the wrong section

redownload the file
i've done that three times today. i think something else is going on
I would suggest reinstalling the Samsung drivers for the Charge, then open Odin, use a different USB port and try again. I had a lot of issues with flash ED1 and one of the ways I found worked around this (for me) was to make sure the drivers were messed up.

MD5 mismatch happens when a file is corrupt or not fully complete
ok, good news (sort of). the md5 mismatch was being caused by the way chrome was naming the multiple instances of the download. I renamed the file and got back to stock ED1. still no signal, but i got the pop up saying i had a system update waiting, i just have to wait for the battery to charge a bit. I'll check back in soon. in the meantime, thanks for all the help and patience everyone.
ok, installing the update didn't help. is it possible my sim card is fried?

It will keep root. Make sure you undo lag fix if you installed new kernel.

I don't recall mine keeping root. I just flashed CWR (odin), PBJ kernel (cwr), and debloated EE4 (cwr) after anyways. No wipe is necessary.
This way you get the radio update, EE4, back to rooted, and debloated.

why are you posting the same exact questions twice?
Well sir if you MUST know, I will explain why this is posted as a stand alone question as well as at the bottom of the 'stock rooted ed1 odin' thread in development. I do this just because I am such a nice S.O.B. .... I edited the build.prop last night as was being discussed in THAT thread. When I re-booted a couple of times I was still getting the update notification and I thought it was still the ED2 trying to be pushed to the phone so I posed the question of why the build.prop edit didn't take. I then noticed that it wasn't the ED2 update at all but EE4 was being pushed to the phone. So I went back in and edited the post to refelct the same, since I was unable to delete it. Now, since this was a new question and it was likely that it would get lost at the end of a 13 page week+ old post, I also posted it as its own question in the general forum where it belongs...

*sigh* ... LOL ... I tried to accept the EE4 and it came back as can't download now try again later. I go into phone and try to check for updates and it says phone is up to date. I'm thinkin due to the build.prop edit and stuff not matching in phone? Baseband version still says ed1 but build says ed2 in about phone listings. It started the download then kicked out immediately and rebooted when I tried to accept ee4 push.
I was able to ODIN this back to ED1 originally. Recovered from a brick the other night (many thanx to droidXcon !!) But I have never used cwr and am a flashing noob so to speak. I am assuming the directions and all downloads are around here if I research it? I am leery of the cwm/cwr stuff as I've seen so many peeps having issues stuck in boot loops and such.
Any help/advice appreciated.
I went back into build.prop and changed everything back to ED1. Phone now shows baseband and build as ED1 again and EE4 is trying to be pushed to the phone again. Looks like I can take the OTA update now and am assuming I will lose root? I have to learn how to use cwm. I downloaded the imnuts cwm this morning, is it as simple as istalling that via ODIN since it is a tar file? Then it will just be a matter of doing the research to figure out how to install stuff via cwm to have a rooted EE4?
Edit: nope ... still wouldn't take the ee4 update. Go to accept it, phone shuts down, get the download image, yellow progress bar makes it about 20% of the way across and phone reboots.

I just upgraded my rooted ed1. The apps I had frozen are still frozen but I lost root.
Okay, I am at what I would consider a stock EE4 build. I did lose root.
So now I need to learn the easiest way to root to an EE4. I have not used cwm yet so I reckon I better learn!! Read the how to once thru. I did try just going into stock samsung recover holding volume/power/home and I did get into that.
So ... I have downloaded the imnuts cwm. Do I install that tar file and it is going to replace the stock recovery?
It now seems as though I am unable to enter stock recovery since I took the ee4? I was able to do this prior to the update. Do I proceed with flashing imnuts cwm and go from there?
Edit: I can get to stock recovery afterall
Also, I see references to some adb pushing in the cwm thread and I am ignorant of adb as well. I need to find a how to thread on all of this !! Is the adb another form of access to the phone that needs to be used in conjunction with cwm?
Edit: I flashed the New_CWM_Recovery.tar.md5 file via ODIN and I got the blue 'reset' in oding and the the green 'pass' ... I go thru the process to enter recovery mode and the menu looks the same with no added options? I have Android system recovery <3e> but now it is blue .... I think I better wait at this point for guidance.
Any Help Appreciated I need ee4 root !!

Someone said no cuz of modem changes. I didn't flash anything else except the ED1.

not sure if still works as i havent tried it yet, but here http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/04/30/instructions-how-to-root-the-verizon-samsung-droid-charge/ typically with adb its permanent.
I will start with saying I like the NOOB video I just watched.
Now onto business. I rooted my Charge Saturday with Gummy Charged 1.9.1, Voodoo lagfix, and SD card patch by Kejar using ODIN. I am running Gingerbread.
It ran fine all day Saturday and then Sunday evening the following problems set in.
1. I tried to turn off my phone, power off, and it would shut off boot right back up.
2. Upon booting back up the notification bar would loop between "usb connected" and "usb debugging connected" It kept going back and forth between those two notifications until I went to USB Setting and checked "ask on connection".
3. My phone would not charge or recognize a usb connection
I booted into recovery wiped the data and did a factory reset. After several times of that my phone now accepts a charge and recognizes when the usb is plugged in. However, problem # 1 and 2 still exist. Now it won't let my computer read the SD card while it is connected and the battery indicator is all over the board with it's readings.
I figure I will flash back to stock. I downloaded a charge.pit file and a samsung_charge_ED2_Full.tar.md5. That has turned out to be a fail as I get a "MD5 hash value is invalid" from ODIN
Well, I'm at a loss of what to do. I want to get it back to stock and see if it is still having problems. If so back to Best Buy with it.
I want to keep my phone rooted since it makes it a whole different beast.
I apologize in advance for details I likely omitted. I tried to search for these issues but I didn't find anything close.
Thank you!

Getting back to stock is a good idea, you can then start clean from there. A bad hash check means it was a bad download or corrupted file so just download it again and try again... Also I would suggest the all in one EE4 download as it's the most recent stock rom
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
I downloaded it again from this link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486
Same error popped up on ODIN.
I'm downloading ED1 to see if that will work.
I don't understand how this works for everybody but for some reason my phone gets an error.
If you can direct me to a different download that may be more reliable that would be great.
Thanks!
Grab the full EE4 Odin file here and restore. Don't forget to wipe data, cache and dalvik before you Odin.

Good eye for the inexperienced my friend. I used it to unzip the file and then I attempted a flash with ODIN and the exact same error came up. I unzipped the file I downloaded earlier today and the one that was linked previously in this thread.
I am at a loss still and my phone is mocking me (face palm in shame). If it is working for everybody else it should be working for me. I'm not a tech guy but I am a pretty slick mechanic so I know how to follow directions. Everything is gravy until the MD5 hash issue with a big red FAIL notification.
The only other option I can think of is to download the ED1 and try that. After that the only thing I can think of is to try to flash another custom rom and see what happens.

yeah a failed hash check or bad MD5 sum means that it was a bad download or a corrupt file
redownload it and if that fails too then yeah try other stock roms... also you put battery back in before starting the flash right? I know odin poops out sometimes unless its in
Another thing I thought of is....have you used your copy of ODIN before? Could be an error with ODIN. If re-downloading the stock EE4 still doesnt work, I would trying downloading the newest version of ODIN.

Flashing ED1 finally worked and for me back to normal. Did an OTA update when I noted it up. I still had the same USB problem but it got worse. Took it back to Best Buy and they took care of me and replaced my phone on the spot. Luckily I only had it for 2 weeks.
Thinking back plugging in the charger was really hard at first. I had to force it in. Likely something broke internally and caused the problem.
Now back to rooting my new phone.
I bow down to everybody's greatness and 1000 thanks for all of your help.
BTW the phone name Charge and a function of a phone as "on charge" really makes it a PITA to use search engines to get phone specific info and troubleshooting. I kept banging my head into a wall finding posts about charging problems. It could make a good episode of Sienfeld.
Hahaha! I agree. I have resorted to searching "droid charge" with the quotation marks....seems to help.
For rooting, I would suggest PBJ overclocked version kernel and Altered Beast 5. Super fast and great theme-age.

Back on September 14th I downloaded that 14 Mb update. Since then I've flashed many times between stock, special ROMs, and of course the Gingerbread leaks. Well, my current issue is that I'm stuck on UCKE3 which is the newest I could find (the one from early June.) So far I have had no luck re-updating my phone to UCKH1 from the 14th. I'm getting the constant, "Your phone is up to date. You may check back in 24 hr and 24 min" message. This is very frusterating to me since when I'm on stock I like to have to latest official updates. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I've asked a similar question in the Q&A thread, but some kid gave me nothing but a link to GTG's modem collection which is not what I really needed and threw a whole you better thank me for helping you thing in my face, so I prefer to check in here.
I assume you're referring to gtg's "Return to stock" UCKE3? If you actually want to be stock, that's the one to go with. That OTA Update really doesn't gain you much value, except for possibly the KI3 modem (which of course you know you can install yourself, no thanks necessary )
Now for your actual question: I don't have a definitive answer for you, but a good guess that "Return to stock" may not be 100% stock. Obviously it's rooted, but there may be something else (don't know what) that might be just different enough that AT&T's firmware update utility no longer recognizes your ROM as a candidate for updates.
Sorry that's not a very solid answer, but if I were you I wouldn't sweat this particular update anyway.
I had the same problem. What I did was return to stock using gtg's unbrick then after the phone booted I did a factory reset from the settings menu. I was able to get the update installed after that. Just back up your SD cards if you try this.

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.
sorry too many tabs open

Only because he was failing with one-clicks and wanted to use ODIN. That one (KG4) has always worked for me, so I was basing it off of experience. Never claimed it was optimal

Never thought about trying it from safe mode. Nice idea.

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.

oh after they say to flash the bhuvden kernel well that is what they told me to get rid of gremlines or something, then flash the custom rom, youll have cwm and such, tell me how it goes .
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.

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.
