If you download it, the pit file should be there. If it isn't and you can't just find a pit file without the whole ODIN, you're screwed.

no i relocked the phone and now it wont let me unlock when i try and press the press power button the phone locks up and thats it... if i select no and then power the phone turns off... cant flash in fastboot unless phone is unlocked....
i swear i will never buy another phone that does not have an sd card on it.... it seems the nexus s 4g is crap and has issues with its memory going bad.... oh well... perhaps i should run over it with a steam roller or perhaps try to sling shoot it into space....

As near as I can tell, this is what Google_Nexus is trying to say. Although, I did have to fill in a lot of extras with this interpretation. If I didn't get it correct, please feel free to correct my interpretation.

[Q] Help noobe flashing problem

I have been reading threads here and I can't find an answer to my question.
I have an ATT Captivate running ATT 2.2. I ran the super one click app and have superuser available for the apps. I have rom manager free edition but no matter what I try I cannot get it to flash the Clockworkmod Recovery. When I try to flash it I get the message that it's been succesfully downloaded but never get the succesful flash.
I've spent a big part of the day at this and can't figure out why this isn't working. ANY ideas would be appreciated.
TIA, Jeff

It won't actually be flashed to your device. It creates an update.zip file on your internal sd card. What you have to do to get into clockwork is turn your phone off, hold down vol up+vol down+power until you see the AT&T logo show up on the screen. When you see the logo show up, release power but keep holding the volume keys. This will take you into the regular stock recovery. Once you are there, select the 'reinstall packages' option. The phone should reboot, at which point, hold down the volume keys again to get back into the stock recovery. Once it boots into stock recovery for the second time, select 'reinstall packages' again and it should put you into clockworkmod this time around.
At one time in all my trying I've been thru this as well. When I select reinstall packages I get:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I really want to get away from this ATT 2.2. I waited for the ATT upgrade but since it still won't support bluetooth voice dial I'm going to go this route if I can get it to work.

It is a way to do it but Odin can easely brick a phone if not used right.
It's alot easier to just prompt the command (.bat) from our computer with our phone plugged in debugging mode and let it do its magic. Takes a few seconds and it's done

[ROM][ODIN] Stock ODEXED T839UVKG2 (Sidekick 4G) Firmware [7/26/11]

Hello Everyone, This is an Instructional Odin ROM to flash Back to Factory Stock and/or Recover your Broken System.
This is NOT the firmware that the phone ships with but it is the complete official update from Tmobile that began Rolling out on July 21st.
The process is Exactly the Same as flashing the Shipped KD1 Firmware for ODIN i've uploaded In this Thread
This is 100% STOCK Odexed T839UVKG2 firmware For the Sidekick 4G and needs to be flashed through Odin. Odin is attached below along with the Sidekick 4G pit.
How to Install/Flash.
Code:
0. Download the StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 File (Find link Below)
1. Remove the .md5 tail
2. Open odin with phone not connected yet
3. Boot in to download mode using Trackpad+Vol down then power
4. Connect phone to pc
5. StockKG2ODIN.tar in pda slot, Use SK4G pit file from below in Pit Slot
6. Double check that only auto-reboot is checked (if it doesnt work the first time, click re-partition)
7. Click start
First boot may take around 3-5 mins. Wait it out and then you should be good to go.
StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 >>> DOWNLOAD
UPDATE: FOOL PROOF WAY TO GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE
ayoteddy said:
Try this, take the battery sim and sd card out of your phone.
Open odin, put the tar in pda and pit into pit.
Plug your phone into the usb.
Now bare with me, this part is a bit akward but you can do it.. hold the vol down key and trackball *with one hand* and put the battery in while holding them. You will be in download mode and Odin will detect your phone. Then flash

Use the Thanks button if this was helpful ; post below if you have feedback/questions ect, Thank you and please enjoy!
my 2 cents about the update
btw guys, i know alot of people has complained about things from the update but dont let that scare you. i personally didnt encounter any of them. it seems samsung or tmo cleaned it up a bit and increased the sensitivity of the trackpad, also allowing the trackpad to be disabled. They say they addressed various bug fixes but didnt state which so we'd have to see for ourselves. if anything make a backup and give it a go. i've been able to root it with the same one click root method.
the Odin went perfectly.. thanks ayoteddy. guess i'll root it and play around with the latest that Samsung/Tmo have for us..... until you guys release your next masterpiece, with these fixes baked in.
in the meantime, do you think the Bali kernel could be flashed onto this?
downloading when i get home from work!
Hey teddy. Do you plan on incorporating this update's fixes to your Smooth Maximus? This and the extended power menu and lockscreen mod will be an update to Ginger Clone?

in my experience, Set Partition should only take about 10 seconds until it moves on to the actual flashing, but sometimes it just hangs there forever. in that case I close Odin and maybe try again, or else try again without re-partition.... I dunno, Odin seems inconsistent, but it always seems to eventually work.
Sent from my SGH-T839

From bricked to fixed.

I was caught in a boot loop and tried to re flash, when in my haste I forgot that Odin will recheck partition when loading .Pit files (pretty lame feature)
Still it was my fault for clicking start in haste.
**phone was partitioned, and would not go into download mode, it was stuck in a screen that said "Firmware update error, please restore in Kies", but it wouldn't connect to kies**
I sent my phone to XDA member Connexion2005
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1602851
I haven't got it in my hands yet, but he just told me it was fixed, I can't wait to get it back and leave it the hell alone (until someone makes CM7 or better work on it)
anyhow, this is out there so if you do what I did (DON'T) there's a solution. Set me back $50 plus shipping to TX from NYC but still, I didn't have to get a whole new phone.

Please elaborate. Not finding much info on this "uberfixit", but it sounds like it's some method of re-creating the stock filesystem that's flashable in odin?
I was putting this out there, because I'm not the only one that this will happen to.
yea it happens when you repartition, an uberfixit requires a complete dump of the phone and quite a bit of time, but will completely fix what you described
the problem with repartitioning is that it wipes the phone clean and then starts to reinstall everything, problem is neither one of teh tars has the full dump (we do it for the sake of saving actual bricks)
knowing someone who can jtag is great we have had a few epic 4g touches that crashed and burned and were saved via jtag.

You may not remember, but I did go onto your IRC and spoke with you regarding this issue.
oh sorry, the irc channel we have is for a bunch of devices currently we house blaze 4g, attain 4g, conenct 4g, lucid and optimus m+ owners. so i probably thought you were an attain owner since we have had a good number of attain owners repartition as well :/

it's all good, bottom line is I f'd up my device, but now its fixed.
um...yeah...
So i did the exact same thing as you... Been trying to find anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I haven't found a single place in my whole state that can fix the problem. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid sending it out for repair.
So how do I get this uberfixit?
I stupidly re-partitioned using Odin, also: I did not realize that Odin re-checked the check box -even after unchecking- when a new pda file was loaded. My bad. Totally though it was bricked until i was able to flash this stock gingerbread rom, but now kies says that my Blaze S does not qualify for upgrades... Did the re-partitioning do this?
I can no longer get to the recovery screen, although if I restart my blaze while connected to a pc via usb, it does allow the "re-install OS?" page to display, and I can get to recover from there: But absolutely no more access to the recovery "menu" which allows me to wipe cache/restore to factory/etc.

[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!!!!

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

I just wanted to make sure that I got him back on the upgrade path to ics if he wants and the tar file saved me so I can verify it personally. Don't want to trip his counter.

Yeah I know the sammobile tar works, I found it a while ago and have been telling people to use it.
If your entire life is on it, I'd take the time to backup your important files, so you don't lose them!

[Q] HELP PLEASE: Need help with what I think is a soft bricked phone

Hi, can somebody please help me?
I tried to use Odin to return from a custom rom to a stock rom and after following the instructions to do so, something happened and now im getting the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I727
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1: counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
firmare upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again
and now my phone only boots to this message
.
I am using ODIN 1.85 and it seams like it can read my phone but gets stuck on <ID:0/004>Setup Connection...
I was following this instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
I have read similar theads but found that they get CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO and CURRENT BINARY:STOCK, tried to follow those instructions but im guessing its not working because its not the same issue
is there a way to fix this? please help... don't know what to do
What tar file are you using?

Upgrades just don't work via kies sometimes. But what stock TAR are you using?

go to sammobile. You may need to sign up but it's free. They have factory firmware for lots of phones. I've heard lots of bad stuff about k0nane tars.

I am hosting that stock tar on dev host. There are also a bunch on vincoms sticky thread, including mine.
No big deal, he's still in download mode.

I believe k0nane's works fine except for the fact it trips the flash counter. Sammobile or the sticky threads pointed out are surely your best bet.
extreme noob here
Hey guys, I dont have the exact problem, but i do think my skyrocket i727 is also soft bricked. Ive been researching allot since i dont know too much, and i dont wanna risk my phone dying on me. Any help will be greatly appreciated. While at work (currently deployed, so i can't go into an AT&T store) i used my friends charger to charge my phone. Ok, i put it were all the sockets are, that i always use and have not had any issues with. And it didnt charge, so i plugged it into my friends laptop. I see on my phone the blinking battery, and continue to use my gtalk. Had to step out to work, disconnected the charger and continued on with my day. A few hours later i took my phone out and noticed it kept on vibrating while the screen was black. Took the battery off put it back and nothing. Then took the battery out for like 2 3 hours, and again nothing. It will jus go to the 1st samsung logo, then to the second and go black, then vibrates every other second. I'm going crazy because i dont have a memory card and am soo terrified of losing my pictures and videos. I have read and have had the guys i work with help me, and one friend downloaded the Odis program, but before i use it, i just want to make sure theres nothing else I can do. Again ive read the steps, understand them, but will it delete my pictures?? I apoligize for the length of my thread, just trying to give as much detail as possible. I have never tried to modify my phone, so its still in its original form. Please help. Thank you in advance. Have agreat day

Just follow Vincoms directions for using Odin to a T. Specially what to check in what box.

Ok, so i'm statting to worry... its been a little over 10min and Odin is still on <ID:0/004> system.img.ext4
last time this happened, after 3 hours of waithing on this message, my phone I guess crashed because it started to disply the original message I posted.
What should I do?
its been 30 min now... should I wait? should I unplug the phone and start over or should I just close Odin and start over?

Ya you need to figure out what has happened. Are you sure you have Odin setup correctly? you have the file in the right Box (PDA I think). Every other box unchecked except auto reboot..?

You extracted the TAR file from the zip?
yes, I followed all instructions posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 and even reinstalled the drivers before beginning.
its still stuck there...should I just unplug the phone and start all over or should I close Odin?

Yes I think you can safely disconnect. You don't have Kies running in the background? And your phone shows up in the the upper left small window of Odin?
yes kies is not even installed and the phone does show up in the upper left corner of Odin
