No. This will recover your device when you brick it.
We call it "brick" because that's all a device that won't boot is: a brick or doorstop...
Anyhow, with an Odin backup handy you can experiment with your device with freedom; because you know you can recover if you really screw things up.
Thanks very helpfull.

I've got my own web server with unlimited bandwith and almost unlimited space. I can host all valuable Sidekick files, so they hasn't to be reuploaded to free hosting every month. If someone is interested, PM me to get FTP login and password.
Whatever. http://xdjh.info/SK4G/
All credits and copyright goes to owners of those files, not me. Just want to keep it all in one place.

Hello
I removed some Bloatware and now I need to return the phone to the store
How can I reinstall the bloatware?
I made a backup using Titanium Backup BUT those .tar.gz files DO NOT have the .APK file
So pretty much I'm screwed
I want to return the phone because it only includes 200MB of internal storage which is ridiculous
PLEASE do not tell me "they won't notice"
I want to learn how to recover the phone to it's factory state
Thank you

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either
My friend has a sidekick 4g and this screen appeared on his phone. No response..can't get it to recovery or download. I have a Skyrocket so I don't know what this screen is. Is it bricked? I think he was trying to put CWN on with Odin when it happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there fellow XDA'er,
That is a different screen for download mode on the SK4G. I dont know what you mean by using Odin to flash CWM on the device. Odin is a program used to reflash the original firmware on the device. Odin can use that screen to flash the original firmware on your device, it may be soft bricked.
First you could use this to firmware and pit file for the SK4G to flash with Odin. --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885482) add http to that. I cant post links yet :\
Then you and your friend should follow this thread for getting CWM on your device --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453) again add the http but remove the ().
The recovery correct update.zip file used on the SK4G can be found here --> (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965239) Again with the http...
I think I covered everything you should look further into these forums next time though there is usually a thread posted needing this same help. Just trying to help out. Free to ask questions if I missed anything.
Thanks for your help. I'm not new to flashing or Odin but my friend is. I told him to join XDA and he can get all the answers he needs if he just searches and READS! LOL As for this post..oops..I just broke the search rule myself. Lol Thanks again

That happens. I remember doing that not too long ago....LOL.
Root is achievable on the new mk2 ota update using the notoriously called "questionable" VROOT. **edit** its questionable because the website is in chinese, not a reputable developer so use at your own risk. That being said I did a full factory restore before doing this No personal info stored and immediately deleted their bootleg Super su app. Reguardless the instructions are pretty straightforward and easy for even a newbie to do with the explanation given. Just google "vroot xda" and you will find threads they don't mention att galaxy s4 but believe me it works I have stock 4.3 with root right now with titanium backup installed and crapware frozen.
I know some people already know this im making a thread on this for ppl that dont know yet and have beem searching like I have before I found it. Any questions feel free to ask as we are here to help each other against applesung I mean samsung

Doesn't work for me. I downloaded the USB drivers and installed them manually. Proceeded to download vRoot on my Win7 laptop and ran as administrator. Connected the phone, hit the green button and a small message popped up above the green button. I used the Google Translate app to find out what it said and it read "Device Not Recognized".
Yes, USB debugging is enabled (verified in Dev Options).
Yes, I reboot my phone multiple times.
I used Kingo root on mine and it worked as well.

Please research this method before doing anything that potentially puts your private data and IMEI number at risk.

From what I've seen, there hasn't been much way in reversing vroot/kingo to a viable known safe method; am I wrong? Is there development being done on a new root still?
Who knows with all these new phones coming out all the time... we can just use the known methods that work even if they werent meant for the devices we have
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I believe the problem with vroot was it opens your phone up to a Chinese server and most antivirus applications deemed it as malware.

Its not samsung...its any ATT phone now...ATT stated a while go they will no longer be supporting phones with unlocked bootloaders...in other words every phone from ATT will likely have a locked bootloader :/
And to the op...from my understanding the fact that its in chinese wasnt what was in question...it was the fact that it connects to a chinese server, and since its rooting they can obtain any data off your phone with out you knowing...could be stored credit cards, photos, contacts, imei...or nothing at all, but there is the possibility

Of course there is no danger in someone taking your IMEI, cloning your phone and using your service on your dime... or grabbing your bank account info because you use a banking app, or buying stuff on Amazon or eBay with your account, etc.
I cannot emphasize enough that anyone thinking about this method of rooting their phone do some research first.

Except the goverenment already has just about all your info...as others have stated...the people who made this root option have the ability to obtain any info from your phone, and have the ability to use it with a malicious intent...
But your right, you want root you take the risk...as for me ill wait for a confirmed safe method of rooting, so i dont have to take that risk
