If there is a link to the rooted kernel (and stock kernel) available I'll happily give it a shot and contribute my feedback. Great job and thanks!

de3rp im an idiot, forgot the file link
its up now

When I get home I'll boot into windows and give it a go. I have read that the linux port of Odin ca n be problematic.

Update:
I tried it and the rooted kernel puts my SCH-R680 into a boot loop. replacing it with the stock kernel file unbricked the phone.

I hate to be the guy that brings a post back from the dead but has anyone else tried this or found a way to make it work?..
My girlfriend has a Repp and it needs a little love in the form of a bloatware enema.

honetsly dont remember if i updated teh files here or not. its working over here though

[Odin]Stock EH17 Odexed with CWM 3.1.0.1/Root/Busybox 1.19

First of all thanks to samfirmware. Odin this to get odexed stock EH17 with the purple CWM 3.1.0.1, latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.19.
Removed Asphalt Demo to make space for Busybox. Attached if you really want it.
Odin tar:
MD5: 417acf5bc49568fc3ca5505d04e9eed8
http://dev-host.org/gf9qor3y1btg/Odexed-Rooted-CWM-Busybox-EH17.tar
Odin 1.85 including instructions:
MD5: 7f574b567aa420e36c127d27e180a3f9
http://www.multiupload.com/W4AOLDRP52
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Should be the sph-d700-****-8Gb-REL.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
Awesome thanks .. Cant wait

Thanks, do you have a way to monitor download numbers? If so I am sure samfirmware would be interested to know just how many Epic users use their leaks...hence why they requested no mirrors for the files they posted to get a count. I know if i had not flashed yet and I had an option I would flash your awesome AIO tar... Thanks for all your work!

Unfortunately I don't have my own service I just use multiupload which doesn't give a count. If someone wants to mirror it to get a count or point me to a free service that will work I will be happy to do it.
I've been downloading theirs anyway each release to show support.

It shows the number of downloads when you go to download it. You start off with 20 GB I think.

No problem I might port it over depending on how the rumors go for an official update.
I look forward to a deodexed version with AIO as well once that gets around. I feel like EH18 will be the official since they never leak the official. But this will hopefully stop the memory leaks and random reboots.

I recommend just making an account. It's free and I'm guessing you won't go past 20 GB.
If you don't register, then you only get 1 GB.
Only cost $5.00 on PayPal for a donate version for a year which gives you a few more benefits.
Thanks for this!

I have no idea why this Epic is randomly rebooting. But it's really inconvenient.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/266817/ocs.android.72727.log
that was what popped up on the sdcard. I can't figure out how to read it. I am assuming that's the file the phone is creating when it reboots **RANDOMLY** several times a day.
if you can't read that, tell me how I can get the log that the phone SHOULD be creating when it reboots randomly... or a way to figure out why it's going this.
So this is still leak right? Not an official release yet?

[Q] Need help rooting Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959W from Wind

I have been trying to root the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from Canada's Wind Mobile. I wonder if anyone out there with Wind and this phone has any success. This phone is model SGH-T959W, which is different from the T-mobile SGH-T959V. I thought they were similar, but not really. This phone was just released in March 2012, and has the latest firmware.
Details:
Model no.: SGH-T959W
Firmwware ver.: 2.3.6
Baseband ver.: T959WUQLB6
Kernel ver.: 2.6.35.7-T959WUQLB6-CL965783
Build no.: GINGERBREAD.WUQLB6
I have successfully rooted several phones before and am good at following instructions. However, I have pretty much tried every method suggested on this Galaxy S forum with no success, including SuperOneClick, manually using ADB, Fastroot, Z4root, Samsung Kies Mini, Heimdall One-Click, etc. Some of them simply said "Failed", ADB and SuperOneClick seemed promising with progress messages for a couple minutes and then just hung forever. Kies Mini won't even recognize the phone even though it's a Samsung and I have updated all drivers.
My main goals of rooting the phone are to try to resolve the random shut-down issues that's been plaguing the Galaxy line of phones, and to run Titanium Backup. Eventually, I'd like to upgrade to ICS. I'd welcome any help.
thanks,
Billy
Unfortunately your phone is not supported on XDA. Do not use any flashing tools from this forum. You have a high risk chance of messing up your phone. Good luck.
I have the same problem, can not find the root solution
Has lumin mentioned last post your phone is not supported on XDA ....sorry dude
not supported eh?

Can someone push the kies gingerbread tarball to mediafire or bittorrent or something.
I'd like to collect a little more info.
I will also need someone with the phone to test for me. You need to be familiar with and running linux.
I don't play well with windows and may need to remote to your linux box and get on the phone.
Hi bhundven,
Thanks for offering to help. I'm the OP of this thread. I'd like to help you help me, but I don't have a linux box nor familiar with linux. Also, what is "kies gingerbread tarball"?
I do have the phone that I can do the test for you, if you can show me what I have to do.
thanks,
Billy

Is there a Thank You button that I can click on to show my appreciation?
I have followed your link and read your other post on the 959W. A couple questions:
1, is the USB JIG a must? What does it do exactly?
2, I was not able to root the phone at all, by any of the methods found for the 959V on this forum. So, how do I upgrade to any other ROM's without rooting? Will the use of this JIG solve this issue?

The jig will force your phone into download mode no matter what, unless you are hard bricked. Its not necessarily a must but highly recommended.
I was in irc with bhundven and the other user and as long as you do not flash bootloaders using heimdall to flash something like the antonx one click kernel will get you root. Then you can flash any of the roms. Just remember dont EVER flash bootloaders until he can get a tarball and make a Heimdall one click for the 959W.
A good way to get root using heimdall is follow this post.

Like I said tho dont flash bootloaders PERIOD.

Werd. The only way the JIG will not work, is if you have hosed your bootloaders (specifically the SBL).
It would be awesome if someone got their T959W unbrickable modded, so we could play with bootloaders.
More so, it would be awesome if someone could get me a kies or leak tarball for me to mess with.

Big fat warning!
No one has sent me a kies or leaked tarball for the T959W.
Following the directions below is much like the red pill in the matrix. Once you take it, you cannot go back to what you had.
If you really want to go back, please bug the crap out of samsung and wind for a kies mini installer.
When you get this, please PM me! ASAP!!

Some of the kernels do not install root to the rom. So you will also need to install a rom that comes with su (root).
Most of our current roms do, including cm7 and cm9.
Installing cm7 or cm9 should be the same as the instructions in the thread, but I'll reiterate this once.
Get the boot.img (see the cm7 or cm9 threads)
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
Let the phone reboot. When you see the "Galaxy S" screen, pull the usb cable and pull the battery out of the phone.
Put the battery back in the phone. Put the backdoor back on the phone (so the battery doesn't fall out).
Hold the vol+ and the vol-, then hold the power button until you see the "Team Acid" screen. Then let go of only the power button.
When you see the clockwork mod recovery, let go of the volume buttons.
Plugin the usb cable and go to "Mounts & Storage" and enable usb storage. Copy the cm7 or cm9 zip file to your sdcard.
Don't forget to safely unmount the storage on your windows, mac, linux box before disconnecting the cable or unmounting usb storage on the phone.
Unmount usb storage on the phone.
Go back to the main menu.
Factory Reset & Wipe data
Install the cm7 or cm9 zip from the sdcard.
Report any issues on the cm7 or cm9 thread, ask any questions on the respective Q&A thread here in the Q&A forum.
I'm a noob!
Hi there, I have been looking for a way tu root my cellphone. I'm from Mexico but I lived in canada for a while.
so i bring my cellphone samsung T959W from canada!.
So I have been reading your posts from july when you said that you was comparing the differences between v and w version and i arrived to this post!
so I did this!:
1.- I download the sdk of android to put my cellphone in download mode
2.- I used heimdall press flash and wait until the samsung screen pull the cable and battery.
3.- press volume buttons and power button then I realize that now my cellphone when i turn on it says exclusive for t movile
and after i pressed volume buttons and power the acid screen didn't appear to me also when I'm in recovery mode there is no such option as install just the update option and when i try to put the cm9 it says that it couldn't confirm the signature
also if you need the tallbar or the thing you said... just let me know what to do! I'm noob in this kind of things!

What you need to do is download this Heimdall one click that is just the kernel.

Run it just like you did the other one and then you will have a custom recovery. After that you will be able to flash the roms you want.

Tallbar? tarball? You need to have the stock tarball for the phone. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't have it.
This guide for installing the Galaxy S 4G CM7 or CM9 is not meant for newbies. This is definitely an advanced thing.

download framaroot install it in phone choose first option install superuser when done choose second option reboot phone and bingo its rooted
I had never heard of "framaroot" before and I always like to know where software is coming from before I run it.
It looks like there is an XDA thread for it: [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices, which may have more recent versions, as well as ones that have come directly from the developer.

Revert samsung conquer to stock

I am having trouble with the charging port of my new samsung conquer which is rooted. I want to bring it in to get replaced but i am worried that it is rooted and don't want the extra trouble. I have another conquer that is not rooted if I need. Can I do anything to revert to full stock rom without being detected that it was rooted?
Also I cannot get into hboot on this phone. is the method different than other phones? I tried holding vol down while powering on but it boots straight into the os.
Thanks,
Edit: I tried getting into h boot after taking out the battery but it still boots regular.
Also what can I do to be able to receive official updates? There id an update bring pushed to my phone that removes caller iq but my phone will not install it. It reboots to the install and stops with an android guy with an ! In a triangle.

If u haven't done anything except root, just delete SU and you should be fine. If you modified it at all, root other phone, get the recovery people are talking about, nandroid, then restore on current phone, then delete SU. If you do that, please send me the backup file as I removed a bunch of stuff from my girls phone and they got lost when my HD fried. Make sure phone is factory resetted before backing up.

Well you can root the phone while it is fe16 but the only roms that I have found so far are roms of the FC17 image.
You have to use Odin to root it, Here is the link, (I do not take credit for this stuff.)

Here is another link with an ICS mod and a POWER mod. (the power mod lets you choose to power off/restart/download mode/recovery mode when you hold the power button to turn off the phone.)

LG-P870 LG Escape: How to root, KDZ and other info

Not even sure how popular this phone is but, hopefully this will be of some use to someone.

If you don't know how to flash a KDZ I will make a guide here soon. V10f is rootable using the method below as is v10c
Download Mode:
To get into download mode turn off your phone, press and hold the vol+ and vol- keys, with those held down insert the USB cable while continuing to hold down the keys. After a few seconds phone will enter download mode automatically.
Rooting:
I was able to root my phone that has v10c on it using this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
I used 1.6 of the root script but some say that 1.2 works better for them. I would try 1.6 if that doesn't work try 1.2 if it fails the first time run it a second time and it should work.
Thanks! My wife just got this. I was able to root and update and retain root with OTA rootkeeper. Was looking for a kdz just in case. If there's enough interest i will see if i can port TWRP so we can cook up some custom roms.
I am definitely interested in custom roms, I have this device. Its not bad considering the price and what you get. 1494 on geekbench too! Pretty decent!

Thanks for the effort
Aye guys I'm new into rooting and android in general, but I don't really understand how to root this phone. Kinda been looking around for a while and I was wondering if you can write some sort of guide. As of now I'm pretty lost the other threads aren't giving me any general information on exactly how to root the LG P870 or androids in general.
-Thanks
Btw I understand what exactly what rooting does to your device and the purpose of rooting, its just exactly how to root the device.
Well first things first do you have the android SDK installed on your computer

Download the zip and unzip it to your desktop. Go into your phone's settings and go to developers options. Turn on USB debugging. Go back to settings and go to security. Turn on unknown sources. Now plug your phone in and run the .bat file that you just unzipped. Follow the commands on the and that should be it. Good luck!

KDZ is the LG format for ROMs which is the built in read only memory that hold the instructions for the phone to run the hardware and features.
But I just rooted my phone with a combination of the above files, and it didnt go exactly as I hoped. First I ran the v1.2 batch file linked above, (the 1.6 batch file archive is invalid and doesnt extract properly. It seemed like it ran properly, i did the restore (no data destructive you shouldnt lost any data) but I didnt have root when completed. Then I tried the v17 of the original thread which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
That one also ran but failed at the end saying something about me not having root on the phone.
I than ran the v1.2 batch file not once, but twice in a row. The second time I found my phone operating in "emulator mode" in other words, it was running laggy as hell and very slow. I then ran the V17 batch file from the link above, and boom it worked. So as you can see it wasnt typical, but I think if you dont have success with the 1.2 the first time, run it again, if it still didnt work, try running v17 like i did. I now have root and my phone is working fine.
Basically, I got the Escape then got the Nexus7 and have been involved in that. Really haven't been doing much with the Escape. I will be looking into more for everyone and hopefully get a custom recovery at the very least. Then at that point we can start thinking about rom. Until then we are stuck with what we have. I will get more info for everyone , till then this is what we have. If you think you can help go for it. If not sorry but this is the best info there is for our phone . I will positively without a doubt post any new info here so if that's what you are looking for this is the right place until then, thank you and you are welcome.

So when I run the .bat file do I just run it in cmd? I'm kinda knew at this lol.
Also does my phone have to be in download mode?
Sorry for the inconvenience but where exactly do I run the .bat file?
-Thanks
One more thing I never downloaded a .zip or .rar file.. Could you please leave me a link?
Rooted
Thanks people I guess I just needed time to figure it out lol. I ran it in cmd twice(1.2v) but not right after each other and the second time it worked thanks guys.
Well. I tried to install beats audio but now it won't even load up just boot loops when it gets to at&t...
Bricked
Great the first bricked lg p870 lol, anyone know how to fix this. Or is it just a brick?
Sorry for the repititive posts, but so far I have gotten my device to read by my computer. The only thing is I can see it in the Device manager but it never shows up in my computer. It also picks the phone up in cmd, is there sometype of command I can run to flash the device and put it back to normal?

No command. You need to flash the kdz using lg flash tool.

Is their a guide on how to flash the device using the kdz flash tool? I mean my phone won't turn on though. It goes into the lg logo then just goes black (the back light is still on).
K I have all the tools but
I downloaded every tool from this thread
But in the PDF guides it says to put the phone in Upgrade mode by removing the SIM, battery and SDC(Micro sd card?) so I did that. Then insert the usb while holding the Volume Up button. All that happens on my phone is the home keys on the bottom just flash. And my phone doesn't connect to my computer either.
My Notes on LG P870
Ok I have fixed my device, well twice now. It seems whenever you try to change any file within the root it restarts, then boot loops. I tried too change a font using Rom Toolbox, it restarted then boot looped. I rooted the device using the 1.2v script once, but this time I'll try 1.7v and see if I can change fonts etc.
Are any of you guys having any problem with this?
If you do, and you are soft bricked just:
Download UPK 3.7.1
Then open up LG /mobile Update
Click Install Drivers(Make sure your phone is not connected) Choose your phone and carrier
Let that finish(Gonna take awhile you have to install all of them)
Then click Install updates...Done
Worked
Posting confirmation for an LG Escape (p870). 10f rooted using the tools linked in first post. Used version 1.2 to start and had to use the version 17 of the other rooting kit to finalize like another user encountered as well. Thanks will be given if they haven't been yet.

Installed TWRP on StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III - now no OS! - resolved

I have a rooted StraightTalk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III (with the stock AOSP ROM) that I just screwed up. I had used EZ-Recovery to flash TWRP 2.2.0 to the phone. Now TWRP says there is no OS! I can only boot into TWRP - nothing else. It won't even let me power-down the phone. Is there some way I can recover from this, or do I now have a very expensive electronic brick (that runs TWRP)? I have adb installed on my laptop and I know it works, so that's one possible route to recovery. Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure it's possible to return it completely to stock with the COMBINATION_S968CUDUAMH1_S968CTFNAMH1_1304014_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file through Odin. I just to happen to have the file right here.. small warning though, it's 1.2 gigs.

That's the file I am offering to host on my Website, since nobody seems to be able to download it from Dropbox. I'm having trouble downloading it from Mega... Since the file is over 1 GB, Mega insisted I needed to download their extension, but it's not compatible with Firefox 22. I tried Chrome, and Mega says that Chrome on my laptop is "a bit outdated"... sheesh! I'll try and update it.
(added later) - I found a Dropbox link for the file and it's downloading now.
If you want to FTP the file to my Website, let me know by PM and I'll give you the username and password.
I tried using fastboot to install CWM Recovery, but fastboot is eternally "waiting for device" even though it's there (adb can see it).
Aug. 7 - Got the file I needed, but didn't use it since Windows7 would not recognize the phone even after I installed the drivers. (I think it was an issue with automatic updates being disabled...) In the meantime... I tried the button-combo for the bootloader (which I swore I tried the day before and it didn't work), and the phone booted into the bootloader! From there, I pressed "Volume down" to cancel & reboot the phone, and it went into the stock system - it was all still there! First thing I did was immediately use EZ-Recovery to flash CWM 5.8.4.5. - Issue resolved!

In that thread go down to method 2 of getting a custom recovery. I downloaded cwm touch from the link there and then installed it with android terminal emulator using the codes that it says to type in. I tried to look up that stock rom but I didnt find it. Its on the forum somewhere in a thread about how to root the straight talk s3 and how first you need to download and flash the h1 baseband stock rom
Thanks I found the stock rom fixing it now.

Have you gotten recovery installed and straightened out yet?
Let me know if you need some help, tell me where you're at and what you've got going on with what you have.
I returned phone to stock. The recovery wasn't in the right place obviously. So that's where I am . Stuck back at stock. Thanks for any help you can give.

Are you on stock not rooted or you are rooted?
Do you have stock recovery or custom.
I can get you to wherever you need or want. Tell me what you need or where you'd like to be.

I have combined 2 s3's to make one good one. This is the proper thread for the model of the chipset. The phone has been worked on buy someone who only thought they were a genious. I've found traces and from surfing the forums I'm pretty sure I know what they did even. I'm gonna grab these stock images and flash back to stock. I just wanted to put a word in now to see how dead this thread is. BTW just for the record easy safe root is achievable with safroot for Att g s 4. I've confirmed that. Root is no issue. Modem drivers are jacked up. I want what I have now with WiFi in tact and custom recovery. Just wanted to get the word in in case I hit a wall with recovery as I am now before the flash to stock. Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the ramble

Does anyone have a good link for h1 stock. All the links I can find including aa51 are dead. I need to go stock to fix the modem. I can handle everything from there I just need stock and I've trolled XDA , aa51, and several others. All links are dead. Probably for a long long time . any help is greatly appreciated
