[ROM][STOCK UVKD1 - FLASHABLE] T959VUVKD1 Zip File

So after a bit of work I was able to decrypt the encrypted file from the fus.samsungmobile.com site. The result? The stock zip able to be flashed to your device to put it on UVKD1.
Mostly I did this because of people who may have problems with Kies Mini to update to UVKD1 (like I did, took forever to get drivers etc and kies to behave).
Again this is completely stock! Nothing done to it. I did use Kies Mini to apply this update automatically, but again it's the unencrypted zip that gets flashed to your phone.
As always, I'm not responsible for bricking your device etc. etc.
I imagine this can be used via ODIN to update your device, but again I haven't gone through this process.
As I have not tested this method personally, I cannot guarantee anything. Just wanted to provide the STOCK Zip without the encryption on it.
Anyone more knowledgeable about this please feel free to interject.

Omg KD1 awesomeee u hope they fix the SMS issues and some of the other issued the sgs4g had.
thanks man you rule.
I'm downloading it to try it
Inside the zip there is a .tar.nd5 file would I be able to flash it with Odin like the other .tar that we have around?

That's what I figure. No PIT as far as I know either.
I imagine following the ODIN guide is the proper way to flash this stock KD1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759.

Did u flash using odin or using recovery?

I used odin 1.3, 512.pt and no partition.

Has anyone tried flashing this with a rooted phone that also has the bootanimation change applied? I just don't want to brick my phone lol.

You used a .pit file and had no issues??

Heimdall worked on this. And (in a fit of insanity), I had Deodexed KC1, flashed the 4 files right over KC1.
Its booting fine.
(Update - it's booted. Now I have to go through rooting it...again).

Cool. It's rooted again. So, at least the normal tools work fine.
Now, I'm going to play with it. See what (if any) is different. Likely - nothing.

only thing I noticed was that the pattern lockscreen now has the emergency button at the bottom centered below the pattern. It's fairly smooth, seems like mostly bug fixes based on the release notes.
I'd really be curious to find out what the OTA url is for this, but not sure anyone here is going to get the OTA, cause we're probably all rooted or that and KC1 won't.
However, if anyone does wanna logcat and then get the OTA eventually that would be cool.

deodexed version is coming soon!

My final steps.... :D

Hey guys, I'm finally gonna flash GB, i know this ain't big news to any of you, but it is to me haha. So, i'm going to list the steps i'm going to take to flash it, these are according to the guides i've watched and read, but weren't specific enough to me. PREPARE TO READ.
By the way, my files are: KG4 leak by chadster, KG4 kernel with root&voodoo by Dr.Honk, and Valhalla ROM by Whitehawkx. PROPS TO THESE AWESOME DEVS!
1)Boot into recovery, and disable voodoo, reboot again to ensure re-conversion to rfs.
2)Boot into recovery again, this time go to: advanced>partition>create one with 2048(whatever that means? o_o)
3)Open up odin(I'm using 1.85), power off phone, Enter download mode, hold two volume keys, plug in USB.
4)Enter files according to file name.
PIT-Hawk_Sidekick_VibrantPlus_831.pit
PDA-CODE_T959VUVKG4_CL385158_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5
Phone-T959VUVKG4-Phone-CL1037720.tar.md5
CSC-SGH-T959V-CSC-TMB-VIBRANTP.tar.md5
(I've heard that re-partition checks itself on while entering the files, and that you should leave it on.)
5)DOUBLE CHECK, I don't wanna brick my phone!
6)HIT START! WOO, hope it'll work for me.
7)If the phone boots, you can let it boot up then Power Off it, or do a battery pull.
8)Hit reset on odin, then re-enter Download Mode, via instruction #3.
9)This time, click PDA, and find Dr.Honks KG4 kernel w/ root&voodoo that you downloaded.
10)HIT START! WOO!
11)This is confusing to me, as according to the guides and videos, YOU CAN battery pull when it boots or Power off after boot-up and enter Recovery by holding Volume keys and Power/Unlock simultaneously(which means at the same time) and release when it boots up. It should boot up into RED CWM, then i'll want to check mounts(OR SHOULD I WIPE EVERYTHING: DATA,CACHE,DAVLIK first?)and make sure that they're UMMU.
12)Go to the main screen of recovery, select zip from sd, select (INSERT ROM OF CHOICE HERE), I'm flashing valhalla, it's been a tough debate of audiophile FTW or that.
13)LET IT FLASH YO!
14)I should end up in recovery still, recheck mounts.
15)(NOT POSITIVE IF THIS'LL WORK, but I'm trying)Flash busyboxinstaller.zip from FB's starter guide thread.
16)After that's done, go to the voodoo section, enable it on next boot, then REBOOT.
17)PRAY THAT IT'LL CONVERT(DAMN WELL BETTER!)
18)If it booted up, and errrrthang's all good. I'll enjoy a cup of coffee and some GINGERBREAD.
Well, that wasn't too much was it? Please comment to recorrect my errors or to say I'm good to go, as this will be my way of flashing GB. I'll appreciate any feedback AS LONG AS I GET FEEDBACK.
P.S- I would love it if some devs would also help give me the green light.
Thanks awesome community!

you don't need to use the pit file but every thing else looks good to me

Looks good flash away

sweet, thanks!

Looks like you've done you're homework and you should be good.. Not sure but I think that newer roms don't need the mount unmounts, as was case for me and icbinb.. You should be good. Good luck

They should just sticky this so that everyone one else flashing from froyo can just follow these directions

I made the mistake of not backing it up and lost EVERYTHING lol
Question..... if per say u get a new phone and Odin the same GB release do u have to redo the whole partioning of the sd card again? even if u did it prior on ur other phone?

Yeah, I've been reading up on GB ever since the KG4 leak, just been afraid to actually flash it, due to no experience with ODIN. This wasn't really supposed to be a guide, just a reassurance for me. But I don't mind people using it as one, I tried to make it as specific as possible. I appreciate the feedback guys, it makes me feel secure. LOL
P.S- I still haven't flashed it yet, I noticed my micro usb it fitting very loosely on my 4G, and since one mistake in ODIN can doom your phone, I'm extremely cautious. BUT I WANT GB! GAAAHHHHHH.

From stock 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 gb? I would use the same method in the op. But i would skip the voodoo steps in the begin because if i started from stock 2.2.1, all i would need to do is access download mode to odin kg4 leak. This is because it's easier to start without voodoo i think. And after flashing the kg4 kernel, you'll have voodoo recovery back. If linda wont convert, i guess you just repartition again. it's almost the same as the method i will use, someday... LOL.

Lol...did you flash it/need help with anything?

I don't think i need help, but if you find something faulty in my "guide", give me a heads up. And nope, i haven't flashed it yet lol. My damn cable is really loose and im scared that its defective and some data won't be transferred and you know what that means! A paperweight lol. I have everything i need(i think) and im really anxious to flash it, but the damn possibility of bricking is killing me haha.

Seriously you are scares for no reason it is very hard to hard brick so far only way is flashing the wrong bootloaders, if you pulled the cable while flashing you would still be fine, so ease up and joing the super smooth sgs4g on GB with us

[Q] Just purchased used & rooted/modded phone, what do I do first

Hello,
First time poster in this section. I just purchased a SGS4G on Swappa. It's coming rooted with Valhalla Final.
I am planning to get the Walmart/TMob $30 per month plan. I've rooted and flashed my Asus Transformer, but this is my first time with a phone.
So kind of wanted to know my best course of action? I was kind of leaning towards reset to factory, then go ahead and go through the steps to get Valhalla Black. But the rooting/flashing methods are a bit more complicated than what I was doing with my Transformer.
Thank you,
Anton

if it's already running Valhalla, there is no need to go back to factory. You can just flash the new rom through CWM.

Ok, wasn't sure if it was better to clean things up. I will do it that way then. Thank you.

i would recommend flashing to stock first, formatting everything and then moving forward from their. yea, its harder, but it would give you a nice fresh install and can prevent problems in the future

Now can I do that without breaking the root I currently have?
I was kind of thinking of doing that, just since I don't have any clue what the guy did before I had it.

If you go back to true stock then you will lose root. However, there are plenty of modified kernels and ROMs that come with root.
Check out bhundven's One-Click collection. Super easy way to flash the phone. The first one click is straight stock. The 3rd is stock with his beta 2d kernel which also has CWM, root, and voodoo lagfix. I'd suggest snagging the 3rd one, do a factory reset on the phone, flash the 3rd one, then you should be able to throw Valhalla back on it the way you want

what i did... Just me but i would always have that one click flash back to stock always available on your pc Its just me dude you never know what can go wrong.. always keep that back door available.. odin was like my best buddy "ugh" when i first started out..

So I downloaded ES File explorer, and it's a lot different than my tablet...i don't even seem to have a download folder. Just Android, DCIM, Voodoo and Lost.dir is that normal on phones? I am downloading valhalla black and not even sure where it's downloading too.

Make a "download" folder.....but as you dl something it will most likely create the folder anyhow

Eh maybe? Do you know the true condition of the used device? Are you sure it has proper boot loaders? Better to ensure you wipe any possible gremlins.

There is a 1 gig internal storage space where the system (ROM, cache, etc) resides. You can install some apps on your sd card (16 gig separate removable space) to save space on the system storage. All of your files, pics, and music end up on the sd card.

He is running valhalla final....there is no reason for him to be concerned with bootloaders at this time when all he wants to do is flash valhalla black.....this doesnt need to be made more complicated than it is...specially for someone new.....this phone is alot more durable and hardy than alot of you guys give it credit for and are only scaring the new people

Your right. It doesent need to be complicated. Nor is it.
One click back to "stock with beta2d", flash desired gb rom.
Not only does this ensure that he knows the true state of the entire device (not just what rom he is on) he also learns how to recover from a soft brick! <~~~ very important when flashing beta roms such as black edition

^ Yea. Learning how to Odin/Heimdall will save a lot of heart ache with the inevitable soft brick haha
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Lol ok yea your right...ive always pushed the limits and learned the hard way.....ive found that to be the best way to learn...
and for someone new to any device....i wouldnt be flashing beta roms....valhalla final is a great stable rom....you should stick with it and just spend the next month reading up on your newly purchased phone first.
Dont worry the developement for this phone is slow compared to most so your not gonna miss much.
Only prob ive seen so far in this forrum is there is alot of clutter and to many different opinions on how and what to do and use to flash roms and and such...it is actually very easy...just pick a way and stick with it and learn the other ways slowly....but dont worry....the galaxy s series is virtually unbrickable

[Q] Rooting turned my phone into a "soft Brick"

I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

1st poster in distress! Shoot me an message with your email and I'll walk you through what to do or if you have ever used Skype on your pc I can assist.

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket

Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

The Infuse 4g is one of the simplest phone's to learn on in my book as far as rooting and changing rom's lot's of great rom's out there , If you really won't to get it done check out the Android Development section here on XDA for rooting , or How too it's pretty simple , you can even flash rooted rom's via Odin to save time in rooting it yourself , pretty easy , be glad to help ya out if ya need a few pointer's here and there , lot's of great people here on XDA that helped me out of the hard spot's , but good luck bro

thank you so much, i am gonna give it a shot this weekend. one question though i put a app backup on my phone so i wouldnt lose my cerberus app. after i do a wipe will i be able to get my app back. i know that sounds stupid but just curious.

btw if you are rooted you can install titanium backup free ver avail in the Google Play...it will back up your apps....there are lots of youtub vid on how to work the TiBu app for backing up apps.....
--------->>>>
You can read the ISET page it may be overwhelming but there is lots of information, and knowledge is good....start with the newbie info so you understand the lingo and info being provided...there are some many great ROM's in our threads.
I would not take the journey on putting ICS/CM9/AOKP till you get you feet settled in to knowing how to flash...start with some the great Gingerbread ROM's, we have custom and very custom ROM's, we have the stock look but still keeping the custom style...
Your choice and what you decide there is plenty of help in these threads, but don't be afraid to ask, but then ensure you have done some research and homework on your own...read, read and re read....
And if ya just cant figure it out, you can pm me...or post in my ISET thread ok,
see my signature for the {I S E T} page...

There are now a easiest way to root your phone which is odin a pre rooted room i find the odin ulb3+root+busybox+cwm to be this best. Only one odin and your done. Just wait for the robot lady to finish

Correction...the easiest way to root your phone is using qksters heimdal package of entropys latest kernel...deletes nothing on the phone only replaces the kernel with a rooted one
Download it (look in ISET page)
Run program
Put phone in download mode
Press flash
Let it do its thing, your phone will reboot and you will be rooted with cwm recovery (used for flashing roms)
*download mode required for both Odin and heimdal*
How to get into download mode?
1) pull battery
2) place battery back in
3) press and hold volume button simultaneously-don't let go and don't touch power button
4) while holding volume keys plug your phone into PC with USB cord
5) you should now be in download mode
You should see either a yellow triangle that says downloading or an option to go to download mode or reboot
Also Odin requires drivers from kies heimdal does not...it uses its own drivers which it will install for you...

I think it really depends on the computer...out of the three in my house 1 works with Odin (windows vista)...the other one works with heimdal (xp) and the other works with both...(xp/Ubuntu, xp both Ubuntu heimdal only for obvious reasons...)
Basically the hard part about both is drivers...which ever is easiest for you to get drivers is what will be easiest for you....once drivers are installed its pretty much a click of a button...well a couple buttons for odin

lol i see what you did there. couple more clicks beats putting your phone twice into download mode , 1 . flash rom and then 2. flash kernel ( to get cmw )
odin packs all that into 1 package ( well the newest one does ) when i had my infuse i flash roms each week so time is really important to me, me personally find odin 1 package to be very time consuming

Sorry if it sounds like I'm arguing....
But if he's just trying to root then he only needs to flash kernel...nothing else...
However if he's bricked then sure Odin will be easier as its all in one...
Again I'm not trying to argue...well I guess technically I am lol, but I'm not trying to lol...how bout we leave it at this...whatever works best for you works best for you, and as long as it gets the job done who cares how you got it done

Odin vs. Heimdall one click will always be a matter of preference. In my case, I prefer the Heimdall command line because it gives me more control. I used it when I made the rooted Odin packages. As for which is easier, qkster's sweet Heimdall one click packages or the rooted Odin packs - they're both just about as easy as it gets, because we've already done most of the work for you.

It involves a little more than just flashing a kernel to root UCLB3, but I know what you mean. See the more involved method at this link for how to do it.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24935969
The Heimdall one click packages, Odin packages, and dman's earlier CWM package just save people the work required to root UCLB3.
But you're right, they aren't "how" to root UCLB3. It's just already done for you.

Bigjoe, looks like the OP was wanting advice on how to get UCLB3 rooted and ready to flash roms (CWM recovery, etc.). So far, other than the back and forth about who prefers one method over the other, it seems that this thread is on track to answer those questions. The good thing about the Infuse forum lately is that there are many ways to do things. To the OP: Get in there, explore the different methods and roms, and have fun. Good news is that it's really hard to brick this phone, so it's a good platform to try all that is out there. Bigjoe gave you a good start by pointing you to the ISET and Super Noobie Question thread.

Wow , XDA to the rescue you guy's rock , lol , as far as backed up app's in the infuse if you backed up to the external sdcard you should be able to just reinstall the back up program and your backed up app's should be there , but it doe's very deppending on what app you used to do your back up .
