New Download screen

I flashed back to stock this morning to test something and noticed there was a 19Mb update. After updating I rebooted the phone and checked a few more times to make sure there were no more updates. When I went into 'Download' to flash a new rom this is the screen I was presented with. After I chose to enter to Download mode that was the 2nd screen I had. Just thought it was funny and would share.

Samsung is warning us of the power of the devs!
Successful XDA devs are successful... xP

Could someone please upload this bootloader zip ? I would like to try them with this GB leak to see if it gets rid of rainbows.

Removing the download for the bootloaders so people won't try flashing them and brick devices left and right. They were only intended for serious devs who know what they are doing. Sorry.

Could you also upload the whole update package? Thanks for the bootloaders.

Considering that we haven't ever been able to flash dumped BLs from the Rogers ROM, having the update package to look at would be highly beneficial to figure out how to flash the bootloaders.

This is a similar download mode screen to the SGSII - keeping count of how many custom ROMS you run/flash. Keeping in mind if you phone needs to go some where to be serviced there maybe a document of how they can check this counter. A USB JIG cleared this on the SGSII & my jig works fine on my Infuse so I can imagine it will still clear it.

If that's the reason, then that's a REALLY smart way to track if you flash a custom "OS", as Samsung would say.
If it's as simple as using a USB JIG to clear it, then we should be in the clear.

Well i guess this finally gives me a reason to pick one up......

It may be a bit before i could actually get a dump of the update package (considering i have n idea how to even begin to do that). i just had hernia surgery this morning and not really feeling up to doing much in the way of dev work lol. i will let everyone know when i am feeling better and maybe someone could walk me through it on IRC.

+1 got the upload prompt and uploaded something

Boot loaders flashed fine, now have the new download screen with warning. Still had rainbows and cannot access recovery when used with leaked GB. Otherwise no issues.

I was curious about this, thanks for the info!

Also in case anyone wants to know, after flashing the leaked GB with this BL the download screen still reports official Samsung Binary as the current.
This is just a short term observation: when I flashed the leaked GB with the old BL I got hard reboots when apps accessed GPS (speed test, maps, co pilot) 1 out of 10 times. With these BL's I am at 18 hours using all of those apps without any reboots. Though it could have just been reflashing that fixed it. I did not use TB or anything to restore app data usher time, both times I went back to stock first.

I just downloaded the BLs. Do I convert file (with both BLs) to .tar to odin flash?

[URGENT] Phone stuck in constant vibration loop *BRICKED*

I was sending a text message tonight and out of no where the phone's screen turned off and went into a vibration loop. Took out the battery and put back in and as soon as I put in the battery the phone boots up and passes the samsung logo and goes into vibration loop, tried to enter clockwork recovery and it won't work! it gives like a mini CRT-off animation and reboots what do I do? Been running skyics for almost 2 months now no issues. cant enter download mode either wtf!
*edit* I guess I need to order a USB JIG? Not sure tho since I cant enter download mode or CWR.. once I enter download mode when it gives me the warning to "install custom OS" blah blah, and it just reboots itself and then boot loops with vibration.. not sure if my phone qualifies for a soft brick or hard brick.

Which sky ics?

Do you have a device support center near you? I had the same problem running a custom from and brought it there..they couldn't even flash it back to stock because it would boot loop so they just gave me a new one

One before the latest one, UDLD2 or w.e.. so is my phone hard bricked or soft? And I might try to get warranty work done.. I don't understand why this happened tho, doesn't make sense.. not like I dropped the phone a second before it happened

I think it is the reason. I Have been seeing it on both the t989 and here. I think it's the same bug the note has. Wiping with the ics kernel is making bricks everywhere. It's just starting to happen and be documented on the rocket and 989. That's just my guess, taker it or leave it.

That's the same thing that's happening with the note. Some run fine for a long time, some get bricked almost immediately after. I'm not saying this is your case, but it might be. I'm avoiding the ics leak. I ran it fine for longer than a month, but I'm done with it now.

There's at least one sticky in the note forum about it, should be easy to spot. As far as the 989, I have seen a couple threads with similar problems like you. I'm not gonna hunt them down right now, I'm on my phone

[Q] Unroot my SGSII

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)

Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.

Hey thanks guys, i'm looking into all of this asap. I appreciate all.the responses as soon as i'm back to a computer thanks to all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

Rooting was the easy step and from experience Samsung has the easiest to root phones. Mind you i'm saying this based on the blood, sweat and tears of the devs who paved the way. This is a great community and the tools available are awesome.
even for the absolute noob the"all in one" guide in the Dev forum is awesome. Hell even for someone not new to it the all in one rocks!
Again thanks so much guys, and for the record, after getting flamed enough times in the past for posting a question that I know damn well has been asked, yes I'll dump HOURS into combing the threads and googling and checking various other sources before I ask anymore.

Before trying to do anything, read read read and read some more. The problem you are having is easily fixed but you should definitely have read up on some of the dozens of guides out there as to what to do after you have rooted your phone
I'm not trying to patronize, but its always best to know what you're getting yourself into before you actually attempt to do it

Download cwm from the playstore. And then from the app it can flash the recovery for you. Prboy has a good link in his Sig on how to properly wipe the phone. But you should read up on adb commands and fastboot commands along with guides on how to flash a Rom. It will really help you out man

Dude you forgot your recovery....I'm not sure how though as it should be in all instuctions posted. Recovery is the second most important thing you should understand, of course after knowing and understanding root.
Don't do it because your friend Bob has a rooted phone and says you will get tons of free apps ( this is not CRApple OS ) do it because you understand the benefits of having a rooted device.
*edit*
Listen to youngcorruption and download ROM manager to at least get recovery then start reading

Pretty sure that's an S3 kernel

JTAG may save it. That'll set ya back $50. Beats shelling out $ for a new phone..

That's definitely not a skyrocket kernel. It's a Verizon wireless kernel from some other phone.

The times when i have soft bricked my phone is when messing with kernels. Now i just use the stock kernel for whatever rom i am using. Good luck

Where did you find this kernel? And was it labeled as Skyrocket, ATT, Galaxy, S2, LTE, sgh-i727, or anything else that resembles the phone?

friend told me about them and i looked them up, thats where its going. thanks for the help.

maybe you might have the same luck as toyes, use a usb jib or "dongle". They are very cheap. $5 and might save you the $50 jtag. Its worth a shot.

Don't waste the money, has been discussed many times that the USB jig is not helpful, send it off to get jtagged.

USB Jig did indeed save my phone. (Read back in the offtopic if you want more details.) But in this case here it is hardbricked and will not help. The only thing to do is jtag.
