How to return to UCKJ2 after running new ICS leak?

So I installed new ICS leak using I727UCALC4_OneClick and was running fine but all of a sudden lock screen stop working. I reset the phone and ran it again and phone now freezes up every 5 mins. How do I get back to 2.3.5 UCKJ2? I already tried using Odin and flashing stockrecovery.tar and no luck still stuck on ICS. I downloaded SGG-I727-UCKJ2-k0kane.7z and also SGH-I727UCKJ2_I727ATTKJ2.rar but when I go into dl mode computer can't recognize these two files or just can't find them. I need help please, thanks in advance.

You probably need to unzip the .7z and .rar file to use them. I believe Odin only "sees" .tar files.
Make sure you read the instructions carefully and know what you're doing.

K0nane's thread should work for you if you read and follow the directions.
SamMobile.com also has original Skyrocket firmware that flashes via Odin. The SamMobile version is a more complete install that is reported to not trip the counter and show as "original Samsung firmware". I havn't tried either version so you need to read for yourself before you ask any questions or try anything.

ODIN doesn't look for files. You need to tell them where there are by clicking on PDA and choosing the tar from wherever location you saved it.

You need to unzip the files with an extractor. It has to be a .tar file to get Odin to see it. Plain and simple.

Yeah since its a .7z and .rar file, you'll need to download WinRar or 7zip to unzip them.
Winzip probably won't suffice. Good luck.

File was corrupted not sure why, now in dl mode I get error message that says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I'm dl another one now and will unzip to see if that works, I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks

It worked but baseband isn't UCKJ2 and I keep getting foreclose message that google services isn't working :/ baseband is I727UCALC4

Yes, of course. Did you read about this before doing it? You can get the full tar with radio from sammobile and it wont set off the counter.

I strongly suggest you completely stop what you are doing and actually do a little research and reading before you go any further. Every issue you have encountered has been identified many times and is always caused from people not taking the time to learn about what they are doing for they jump right in. YOU WILL END UP WITH A BRICKED PHONE IF YOU CONTINUE WITHOUT READING AND RESEARCHING!
The Kies message was brought up several times today in other threads relating to this ICS leak. You need to read all of the threads related to it.
I mentioned the counter in this very thread...if you would have read it. The baseband (radio) isn't flashed with K0nane's TAR or most other ROMS (unless otherwise stated). You have to go to the "Radio" thread in the DEV section and flash it through CWM seperately. It has been reported (by others) that the firmware at SamMobile WILL flash the correct modem and (I'll say it again) will not trigger the counter.
DO what you want, its your phone, but if you aren't going to take the time to learn about what you are doing you will be the owner of a bricked phone.

[Q] HELP!! sgs4 Firmware upgrade encountered issue

So, I was trying to roll back my SGS4G with Odin to the stock rom. I noticed that for some reason, re-partition was check. Before I knew it, my phone had cut itself off. Now I have the dreaded "Firmware upgrade encountered issue..." and nothing seams to work. Any thoughts?

You're in download mode. Try again without repartition checked. If you want you can follow my GB Starter Pack guide (there's a link in my signature)

Thank you so much, worked like a champ!!

Not bricked but not working.

OK all...so I am new here and was trying to get JB to work on my tablet. I thought I had done the needed research but went wrong somewhere I guess. I tried to follow steps on a site I found from AndroidAuthority dot com (not sure if I am able to post the entire link or no?). I was trying to root and install ClockworkMod Recovery but I guess either something went wrong or I messed something up. From what I have been reading I guess I have not bricked my device since it still tries to load. It currently loops with the Samsung screen. I can still enter the download mode and recovery mode but not sure what I should try next. I tried via Odin again with no luck. Out of the box I was running 4.0.3 but did the OTA update to 4.0.4. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks from a newbie!

Also I used espresso_recovery.tar.md5 as the recovery image if that helps at all. Thanks again.

Followed the steps from another site. Will follow these later today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625
I guess since I can still use Odin I should be all set. Sorry if this was in the wrong section.

You can use heimdale too. Ive had better luck using that for my phone, never tried my tabley but it should work.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

I haven't tried heimdale yet cause I do not want to add more gas to the flames. But I tried the other link I posted and still no luck. Also tried a different SD card to be on the safe side but no luck. Any ideas on what I should do next? Or any other info I can provide that might help?

Keep on trying... it should work sooner or later. Have the samsung drivers? If not install kies. Try other usb ports too.

Should I keep on with the same procedure or you mean keep letting it boot in a cycle?

I used this with 4.0.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
i would suggest you follow from the beginning.
install samsung drivers and kies and odin. run odin as adminstrator.
pay close attention to the mention of the post #325 in the instruction as it what helps you 4.0.4 root process. its difference from 4.0.3.
also if you are on jb. you need to run cwm 6.0 not 5.0 make sure youre uploading the right file into odin.

Then use the restore to stock procedure. But before you do, tell me: what step did you boot loop on?

Haven't been able to work on this again. I will try and get some time and get back to you. Thanks again for the help.

Don't use ClockWorkmod, it's not designed specifically for Gtab2... CWM is bad.
you can try flash your gtab2 with ODIN instead

CWM is OFFICIALLY supported now and works good.
Don't fear.

Boot Loop
So I'm new here, I tried rooting my p3100, flashed cwm with Odin, as it rebooted from there it just keeps rebooting - need help please guys......any lil bit of advice would help - I've read on other posts to flash to the stock ROM, but how do i do this? where do i get the rom......

OK so I am back at it and still not having much luck. I can't get as far as the:
"CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0"
Screen.
From here I do not have a recovery file to use. Which should I use for the P3113....At this point I don't even care if I lose all the data on the tablet and go back to stock. Just need it working again and then do some more research on how to do it right..
Thanks again.

Then use Section E of my guide. It will wipe your data and restore your tablet to stock.

What do you mean you can't boot up? You need to be on download mode, or are you telling me that you can't get into download mode?
If you can't get into download mode then you're out of luck.

OK you said in your OP that you can get into DL mode. Follow the second post of that guide for getting Heimdall One-Click up and running. Then flash heimdall per the directions of the guide. You'll want to flash WITH bootloaders. Just relax and read through it. It will fix your problems.

Before you do anything, uninstall Kies Mini and use usbdeview to uninstall android and samsung drivers. Then proceed with Lumins guide. If you DO NOT UNINSTALL DRIVERS I can assure you there is no way to get out of hard brick unless you have a jig.
Tip: Uninstall drivers that has the name Samsung or Android.

Actually not true. If you use a different USB port then the one the Kies drivers are linked to Heimdall Drivers will install just fine. I've got Odin, Heimdall, and ADB running for two different phones on my laptop. And this guy is soft bricked not hard bricked.

You sure you have a t959v? Try a different one click from the collection? New to me.

In his op it says it is bootlooping on the vibrant screen. Quite possibly he actually has a vibrant .

That's what I'm thinking. Or when he flashed with Odin he flashed vibrant firmware to it? Have you ever seen that error before?

Cant say that I have. It could be I havent ever flashed a rom not for this phone.
AdamOutler says one clicks have a safety that keeps you from flashing the wrong software. That might be what is happening. Maybe the op needs to use heimdall-frontend to flash a tar.gz. /shrug.
nemeancestus are you comfortable using regular heimdall? You can flash the files used in the one click with heimdall-frontend. I will link the tar.gz, download it. In heimdall-frontend the first tab will give you the ability to load a package. Browse to the folder you downloaded it in. It will decompress the tar.gz once that is done in the package files pane it will list the files. Once it does that select load it will take you to the flash tab and load the files for you. Now put your phone in download mode and it should show as connected in heimdall. Dont change any of the options set. Just hit flash. After that it should reboot and you will be on stock plus blastoff kernel. You will need to flash a different rom tho wifi does not work and it doesnt have busy box or su preinstalled. Just reboot to recovery and flash a new rom.
The link might not be active yet give it some time I just put it on drop box.

I think you are right. He probably has the phone but flashed a vibrant rom. He refers to "Eugene's Froyo Rom"

You said you've tried everything -- without attacking you I don't exactly believe this. ODIN isn't the ONLY way to "ODIN" or restore to factory default.
Try this. It's easy to use, fast, and there's tons of support on it. Most people who have had problems like this have solved it with Adam's tool.
