ok i see since it has been so long since all the rogers development started people dont really remember about all the rainbow problems and how they were fixed and how the fix needs source code.
we now have bootloaders available in leaks from samsung. they are needed with the stock kernels that come in the leaks to avoid rainbow garbage. i am providing the bootloaders to be flashed in heimdall without having to flash a whole rom.
i would like to make this explicitly clear that if this bricks your phone i am not to blame. there is a significant risk when flashing bootloaders! though the infuse seems to have safety measures i strongly recommend only flashing once. and if your phone becomes a brick you will need to solder things to the phone to fix it via j-tag or adam outlers unbrickable mod. be cautious! dont flash boot.bin without sbl.bin, dont flash sbl.bin without boot.bin, dont mix up the partitions, and if the phone bricks i dont want to know about it unless you want to pay me to fix it!
heimdall package
http://www.multiupload.com/GXUTF4QCJX
odin package (untested)
http://www.multiupload.com.... REMOVED May be failing to flash. very dangerous situation...
bootloaders for heimdall to be added through the "flash" tab (unzip first! ibl/pbl-boot.bin, sbl-sbl.bin)

good luck!
Thanks for posting this. Hopefully it will help out with leak questions that tend to get asked over and over again.

Yeah. Thanks for posting, Dani.
do you know if there its any difference in bootloaders amongst different gingerbread leaks?
I have been running the first leaked gingerbread's bootloaders since Prezkit gave them to us and have had zero issues. I think it was kk1? I've been taking an "if it ain't broke" stance. its going good!

there is difs. but I couldn't tell you what. I saw posts by Linux bozo who did binary diferencials but I don't see any difference.
I know the bootloaders have a counter for customer kernels. if you flash the parameters.ifs from the ultimate unbrick it resets it. I also know they changed the galaxy s 2 bootloaders so it was harder to reset the counter so don't expect to be able to reset it when the official update comes along. I also have been using the "if it ain't broke " theory and honestly don't remember which I am using. the packages here are uckk3. if people can test if the counter can still be reset by flashing param.ifs let me know. ill post older bootloaders if it can't otherwise I can't think of any reason to pick one over another.
If i am flashing the bootloaders via odin does the .tar file go in the pda slot. thank you for this.

yes. that's how I would do it. the PDA slot seems to be automatic as far as partition sorting. the phone slot is for modems but if a modem is included in a package for the PDA slot it flashes just fine. the bootloaders are in the PDA packages normally so that's how I would do it.
please report results because I don't run windows and did not test that package.
I will report back once i get around to flashing the bootloaders. Thanks again for this.

don't select repartition, no need for a pit, the rom shouldn't matter, the file should go in the PDA slot. remember I haven't tested it in Odin. I don't run windows and have little interest in using Odin for anything. phone needs to be in download mode just like flahong a rom. it should only take a second or two to flash. good luck
Cool i should be able to figure this out. Thanks for the quick response.
It didn't work. I had auto restart, f.reset and the PDA slot checked after i opened the file in the PDA slot and after clicking start it just sat at setup for 45 min until i gave up and flashed back to stock. I had to pull the cord while in download mode and the screen turned black with green dots so i had to flash blindly. I tried it twice and the same thing. Has anyone else tried this?

I have a bunch of downloads but nobody reported anything at all till now.
ill pull the Odin version for now. try it in heimdall. its not any harder to use.
Can you post an odin package.
I had an Odin package. I got a few downloads, didn't get any people thanking for it, didn't get any positive feedback that it worked and had one user report problems, see the last couple posts. I pulled the file for lack of evidence that it worked. I don't run windows and prefer heimdall so I haven't tested it in Odin. sorry but I suggest you either flash an entire rom leak then flash a non secure kernel through Odin ( any custom kernel should do also flashing back to stock should also do just fine) and then flash a rom or learn heimdall which works on windows as well as Mac and Linux. I would have done a oneclick package but it still requires the installation of the heimdall back end and I figured it was really no harder to just use the heimdall package system.
any chance of relink thats not at multiupload?
edit: disregard, found a workaround. might be useful in future tho.
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!!!!

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

First of all I apologize if this has been brought up before in other posts. I am in a mixture of frustration and panic right now because I tried upgrading to ICS on my Rogers SGS2 LTE, and it failed.
Using Kies, I followed the prompts, and for whatever reason it didn't finish. Now when I boot up the phone, it keeps telling me to use the recovery mode option in Kies. However, if I do try to use recovery mode, it always times out and tells me I may need to contact a Samsung service center. The computer has no problem communicating with the phone, AFAIK.
Basically, I'm here to ask what options I have. Currently, i'm trying to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , but because the stock TAR is taking a long time to download, I'm asking if I have any other options. I would like to keep the data on my phone, but if I have to wipe it to return it to normal I'm willing to do that.
Please help.
Reboot and try again

I've tried rebooting the computer I was using, and I've also tried another computer with no luck. I got the latest Kies on the other computer, connected the phone with no problem, and tried recovery mode on THAT 2nd computer, but it didn't work because it didn't recognize my recovery code that the first computer gave me.

I *think* I was rooted. I remember doing something a long time ago involving odin. I never installed Cyanogenmod or any other 3rd party roms.
I had Superuser under my apps, if that helps.
I wish I could reply sooner but this board is making me wait 5 mins between posts. Sorry. It's like I'm in the emergency room with a gunshot wound and I'm waiting for the doctor to finish his smoke break, then his coffee break, then washroom break, jesus
by CWM, I think you're asking about Clockwordmod? If so, yes, I had that on my phone. Does this mean I can't use the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 to fix my phone now? Or can I still proceed.
If you have superuser then most likely you are rooted and since you have clockworkmod especially then kies is not gonna update your phone. Your on Rodgers so you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I'm on att or I could link you to one that would work. I got my stock firmware from Samsung website. Try going to sammobile and see if you can find the stock firmware for your phone. I'm sure since its Samsung they should have Rodgers firmware to. Download the stock firmware and flash it in Odin onto to your phone and then kies should work. If you can't find the stock firmware at sammobile then look for the stock firmware here on xda I'm sure someone on Rodgers has it....
Edit. The link up there to Odin back to stock should work. Just download the file and follow the steps in order and don't leave one out. There are no shortcuts when it comes to flashing a phone or it could be rendered useless for anything more than a paperweight. Konane is real good and would not lead anyone wrong....

Would I somehow be able to use that, combined with Odin, to get ICS on my phone? In other words, follow all the steps in the aforementioned thread, except, use this newer firmware file?

If you're back to stock and on Rogers, you should be able to update using Kies.
The thing is, when Odin fixed my phone, it didn't remove Superuser, so doesn't that mean my phone isn't stock anymore? I was expecting Odin to basically reset my phone back to factory settings, but it seems to have just reverted it back to before I tried updating to ICS with kies.

If you go into 3e or cwm if you still have it, you should be able to clear cache and data, so after that Kies should recognize it and start the download

I haven't used the stock 3e that much always just flash cwm but I would suggest that you do a factory data reset to from the recovery if 3e gives that option I've never used it so I'm not sure. But if you are still on cwm recovery kies will not ever update your phone until you put everything back stock. You must have just flashed the kernel only. Flashing just the kernel does not wipe anything you need to flash the stock firmware from sammobile in Odin and that will do a full wipe and restore everything to stock

Sorry but what is 3e? The only place i see cwm mentioned is under the rom manager app, but when i launch it rom manager says i don't have a rooted device and super user can't be found. Weird thing is i see super user as an app on my phone.

Turn the phone off. Hold both volume up and volume down and hold the power button do not release the volume buttons yet. Pressing all 3 buttons when you first see the screen come on mine shows an att logo then release the power button only. The phone will then boot into either 3e stock recovery or cwm recovery

OK, I did what you said, and I see 3e and the option to wipe data/factory reset. So you're recommending I do this BEFORE i try to use Odin and the latest firmware for Sammobile?
Just out of curiosity, if I didn't do a reset before flashing using Odin, what would happen?

Hi folks...
I am trying to help a friend that owns this phone. I recently rooted it for him and all was well until one day he said that the phone died and when he rebooted the phone would force close EVERYTHING, rendering the phone unusable. Here's what I have done thus far:
via odin... i have tried everything in the "how to fix your phone" post all with the same result of the phone booting to setup force closing everything.
so i got the idea to try and get cwm installed and try a custom rom (tweaked v2.2). Initially, after I installed it, the phone bootlooped. So i found the post with the stock fp1 kernel (which is the kernel with the rom if i'm not mistaken) and flashed it. The phone booted... still forces closing everything.
I am stuck now... Not bricked by any means, but this force close issue is going to be the bain of my existence:crying:. If anyone has experienced this and managed to get the phone working normally again, please help.
I am pretty good with everything on samsung phones except ADB... if the fix involves that just make the instructions idiot proof...
THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

If you are flashing with the pit Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and PDA should be the only things checked. If you are not flashing with the pit then Re-Partition should be unchecked
Thanks Paul, i was using the samsungPST program, so i will give the repartition option a try within that program.
Maybe you are using the wrong version of odin. 1.83 or 1.85 are the only versions you should be using
been using 1.85, will try 1.83...
When using PST check only the PIT. EFS Clear and Boot Update will break the phone even more.

what kernel are you running?
Whatever kernel that comes with the stock rom, that is unless it stays with whatever was last flashed kernel wise. If that's the case, it's stock fp1
Sent from a phone that is better than sliced bread...
Reading through this I haven't seen any mention of taking the OTA updates. After flashing EP4D with Pit did you allow the 2 over the air updates from Verizon? This needs to be done before flashing Tweaked. Then when you flash Tweaked I suggest using the Odin version "Tweaked with CWM". That worked out perfectly for me.
Update: Also did you check the MD5 Checksum of the EP4 file you downloaded. That's pretty much mandatory since bad downloads do sometimes happen.

You don't need to use recovery at all. Odin EP4 then take the two OTA updates then odin Tweaked 3.0 w/ CWM. It's in the OP. I did setup Google Backup on EP4 before I took the OTA's. I never use VZW Backup.

How can I use Odin to go back to factory stock? I received the OTA for 4.1 JB and then rooted but now need to go back to stock. What is the safest way to do this? Can I just flash the latest build in Odin

Use the proper PIT file w/ Odin.
16GB SIII- http://invisiblek.chickenkiller.com/pits/sch-i535-16gb.pit
32GB SIII- http://invisiblek.chickenkiller.com/pits/sch-i535-32gb.pit
Then use this image where it says, "PDA."
http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/...535VZWALG1_743127_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.zip
This will bring you back to stock ICS with a locked bootloader, then check for updates under settings.

DON'T DO THIS!
Follow section 5 of the guide linked below. There is no need for the pit files and that isn't the latest stock ROM, but I'm confused if you took the ota your sick already.

So use ODIN twice. Once with .pit and the second with the.tar

I'm helping him out you're giving him out dated firmware and unnecessary flashing that just leaves more chance for error. To restore to stock is a simple one file flash there is no need for pit or using old stuff and taking the ota again. But OP do whatever you want

Not sure what you're saying. Everybody else is running BLK3 JB, but like I said y'all do what you want. I'm a fan of as little steps as possible to eliminate errors and everybody I've helped un brick their phone have followed that guide I just linked with zero problems. Actually you're the first person I've seen recommend the pit except in my old droid charge.

If you are trying to stay stock then use this Jelly Bean image like the person above mentioned. I found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035321
If you are going to ROOT again then use what I told you above (its ICS.) Then use this software to root your device. (Dont take the JB OTA.) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792342
Rooting ICS is quicker then JB. Lol.

ICS is easier to root for sure!
To the op If you just want to un root and that's all you did was root then go into the super su app and under settings there is a full unroot option.
By the way still don't need the pit that link I posted had the latest ICS build as well.
Hey Supra that link you gave is correct, but I would recommend using droid styles n the future because it gives steps. So when helping new people they will have full proof step by step instructions. By the way I really how you actually own a Supra... That's one had ride!

Sorry guy, didnt know there was a JB Odin image at first. I always use a PIT when reverting back to stock, look at the link you posted.

"Pit file - This is a type of file used with Odin when returning your phone to stock. There is a "Pit" button on Odin you can push to enter the pit file you wish to use. An example of a pit file that you will probably use is Atlas_v2.2.pit. To return to stock, you would use a pit file along with a stock ROM, putting both into Odin at the same time. Droidstyle's guide provides detailed instructions."
Lol, I dont own a Supra but I'm a huge fan and known a couple people with built ones pushing over 1000HP. Its just WAY to expensive. I'd rather buy the 2JZGTE engine and drop it into another car. Supra power .
