Can someone show me how to flash back to stock kernel using odin

Hello I need help to flash back to stock kernel using odin. I never experience using odin so Iam afraid I might brick my captivate. please help with instruction. I already have the stock kernel .tar file. thanks

If you go to the Odin one click thread, you don't need any other instruction. That already has all the JF6 kernels included to flash back to stock. Download that, follow those directions as they are all you need.

I have used Odin One Click many times. Read that thread carefully, learn from mistakes of others. Be sure to download and install the drivers from the OP on that thread, follow all of the steps in proper order and you shouldn't have a problem. Are you using I9000 kernal? If so I am not sure how it will work.

i try using the one click odin but still not work. i think my kernel is unhelpful one and i believe it use to overclock the cpu to 1.2. it say [email protected] #48 in my phone.
another question is if I have a custom kernel am I still able to update to froyo when it come out?

How did it not work??? If you followed the thread step by step it will work and flash you back to stock. What did the phone do when you tried using Odin.

the phone is back to stock but the kernel is still not a stock kernel

I have the same problem too, anyone know how to reset or restore that Kernel name back to the stock one? Thanks

Still no answer to this? Like others, I have the stock Kernal .tar file but I don't know what settings to use in ODIN to flash...

[Q] DEAR GOD please help. Rooting, changing OS, Downloading ROM.

Ok I have been at this for a few hours. I have upgraded the original Samsung Infuse 4G HD's firmware to gingerbread version something or other but it is a leaked release. Sooo now I'd like to root the phone and put a ROM on it. I downloaded everything I believe I need. (Again I have been at this for awhile) I have SOC and KiesMini as well as full Kies. I have downloaded Titanium Backup, ROM manager, and Superuser to the phone. I went to do a root on SOC and it will get to step 6 and freeze. I've read a few things and gathered that I need to download the drivers for the phone again and restart root process. Well it's been and hour and a half and I can find the damn drivers anywhere on the web. I have repeatedly unplugged and replugged the phone to the computer and let it download the drivers. Kies and KiesMini both are unable to connect to the phone. Scratch that Mini connects but doesn't recognize the device, my guess is that it does not have the original firmware on it, then again I don't see how this would stop the program from recognizing the phone itself seeing as though this was just a firmware update. I'm semi new to this so I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong.
Please if you have a full guide or step by step instructions or just know where the hell to get the drivers online I'd be very appreciative.
Also if this is the wrong thread section, let me know I'll be happy to move it. I believe I am in the right place though.
Thank you,

If I understand correctly, you already rooted your phone once. Then flashed one of the gingerbread leaks and lost root?
I don't think any of the normal root methods will work. I believe you need to flash a certain kernel to get root back.
Or just use GTGs method to get back to stock. Then normal root methods will work.

if all else fails try superoneclick. thats what i used. and once you get it rooted again flash the MIUI mod to your phone. its a great ROM, i highky recommend it. anyways i agree with the guy above. you may need to find a way to flash a different kernal. let us know how it goes.

Imo, i would flash back to stock with with GTG's unbrick... Either flash community kernel to get red CWM or do SOC to get root, download CWM Rom Manager from market and flash CWM Recovery thru there, make sure to choose "Galaxy s i9000" and NOT the MTD. Do it twice just in case or thrice for sure. You should be able flash any ROM through there or reboot to recovery. This has worked for me multiple times. Good luck.
Here is a link from @misterjunky in the wiki thread for the usb drivers:

I would suggest using GTG's back to stock package, then re-root, flash the leak (if you still want it), and flash Entropy's DD for root, then flash back to the stock kernel.
Reply if you need any help with this, I'll try to reply during school, if I don't, someone else will, or I will after school.

If you need root with gb I assume you flashed a stock kernel. The board elders have stated you can't root gb through superoneclick. That hack was patched. You need to flash a rooted kernel and then flash back to stock if you want stock or just leave it with custom kernel. Read through the uckj2 (I think) thread in development. Linuxbozo gave perfect instructions.

It's good that the information is finally getting passed around. Sorry but root it's now done from the kernel end. It's the last backdoor in but Samsung makes it easy on the user end, only problem now is ya gotta wait for developers to compile kernels with initramfs mods.
what you need is.
1. Drivers, Samsung.com infuse product support section. No need for kies.
2. A kernel that roots, entropy has a good one with wifi and sd compatibility.
3. A flash tool such as Odin or heimdall and dependencies. (visual c++ redistributable package from Microsoft download center for heimdall)
4. (optional) a stock uckj2/4/ kernel if you want hdmi to work.
If you use Odin, the custom kernel that will root you needs to be in a ".tar" archive. You put it in the pda slot. After first boot you will have root and have the option to flash back to a kernel with hdmi. once rooted this can be done with sgs kernel flasher if you can't find the .tar version of the stock kernel, you can extract the zimage from the original Odin package and zip it or .rar it and put it on the sd card to be flashed in kernel flasher.
If you use heimdall (my personal preference) you will extract the zimage out of what ever archive it is in. it may be .zip .tar .rar it can even be cwm flashable. You open the tab labeled "flash" load the infuse.pit that gtg made (found with the unbrick package) then click the "add" button select "kernel" for the partition and then browse for the zimage for the root kernel.
Same process to go back to the hdmi kernel for heimdall. Or you can use kernel flasher like I explained above.
No need to go back to stock or wipe data for kernel flashing. That's just overkill and a waist of time.

Awesome instructions but I think it's worth mentioning (and maybe that's why you DIDN'T mention it actually) that you need a pit to flash anything in the front end but unless you WANT to repartition, you should make sure that check box is UNCHECKED after you select the pit.

Yeah don't repartition!. It's potential for disaster, better left for situations whet you have all the partitions to flash and the phone won't boot after trying without repartition. The pit is just for partition mapping in the new front end. I guess it's designed to work with devices that may have different partitioning as well

Talking about heimdall? I think you can use an older version like 1.1 to get around this?

This is true. 1.1 works great and doesn't need a pit file. It is also easier if you never used it before. It kinda explains itself.

Sorry I haven't responded until now, I've been incredibly busy. Anywho, so I went ahead and flashed back to stock. So now it is exactly how it should be when I bought it. I run SOC and it gets to running pneuter and stops. I've waited an hour on it and it won't continue. Any suggestions?

Hi
I am using unrooted Infuse phone. Recently i have updated it to official gingerbread UCKL2 through samsung Kies mini.

[ODIN][KERNEL] Odin Kernel and Recovery Repository - Infuse 4G

ABOUT
------------------------
This is a collection of popular kernel and recovery combinations for the Infuse 4G in Odin tar.md5 format. Extract these rar packages in a program like 7zip, and flash the tar.md5 in Odin.
Please be sure that the kernel / recovery image that you flash is intended for the rom that you plan to use. For more information and support for each kernel, please visit the appropriate thread for that kernel. Please don't ask questions about the kernels or report kernel related bugs in this thread.
If there is another kernel that you'd like to see in this thread, let me know!
PACKAGES
------------------------
GINGERBREAD KERNELS
Stock UCLB3 Kernel / Stock UCLB3 Recovery
ODIN-UCLB3-GB-stock-zImage.rar
Note: Ensure that Voodoo lagfix is disabled before flashing the stock UCLB3 kernel. Also, this kernel should most likely only be used with UCLB3 based roms. If you have issues seeing your external SD card after using this kernel, see the answer to question 1.) in the FAQ below.

INSTALL
------------------------
1.) Download and extract the desired kernel package from the section above.
2.) If needed, download the Odin exe HERE.
3.) If needed, install the latest Samsung USB drivers. You can get these by installing Samsung Kies, which can be found HERE.
4.) Place phone in download mode.
5.) Open the Odin exe; if your phone is recognized, the window under ID:COM will turn yellow.
6.) In Odin, click on "PDA" and browse to the tar.md5.
7.) Select the tar.md5. Make sure it shows up in the PDA window, and then click on Start. Do not power off or disconnect the phone while Odin flashes the package and reboots the phone.
8.) You're finished. If the progress window in Odin is green and reads "PASS!", then you have successfully flashed the kernel / recovery package.
FAQ
------------------------
1.) I flashed the stock UCLB3 kernel and now I can't access my external sd card. How can I fix this?
In UCLB3 based roms, if you flash the stock UCLB3 kernel after using a custom kernel, you will most likely have trouble seeing your external sdcard. To fix this, use Root Explorer (or a similar app) to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab. In Root Explorer, browse to /system/etc and choose "Mount R/W" to gain write permission to the directory. Open vold.fstab in the built in text editor. Change the mmc2 in the last line to mmc1. Save and exit. Reboot, and you will regain use of your external sd card.

We're all set!
Thanks, Jesse.
Note to any user:
If you are on a GB ROM and lost recovery or in a boot loop, one attempt would be to flash just the GB kernel to get back into CWM recovery. You may not need to flash the entire ROM.
Likewise, if you are on a ICS CM9 ROM and lost recovery or in boot loop, you can also try to flash just the ICS kernel to get back to CWM recovery.
If you can't use Odin, use the Heimdall's. If you can't use the Heimdalls, use the Odin.
edit: (after thoughts for new users)
Also: If you are on any stock GB build and flash one of the GB kernels, you don't need to perform any superoneclick, modded 3e etc. You can proceed directly into CWM recovery and flash with you want. If you want only root, check out jscott's root thread or my root thread.

check my sig. Kernel thread has Xda direct download of the cwm flash, from which the kernel can be extracted and flashed with sgs kernel flasher.
You can do this once you have a non stock kernel in place.
All this assumes gb, btw.

Frustrated
Somebody please help me. I put my wife's infuse back to stock (UCLB3) First I couldn't root it. Then I flashed the stock rooted with Odin. I proceded to install CWM with the 3e file, and ROM Manager. That didn't work. I also tried to flash this kernel (UCLB3) to see if it would give me CWM... Nothing! I am close to loosing my mind. I could do this **** all day long on my Epic 4G but for some reason this phone is kicking my ass.
One thing I'd like to point out is when i power down my phone and try to go into recovery the option to "reinstall packages" does not show. That is the only thing different i've noticed than all the videos and tuturials I found on the thread. Somebody please help me.

Okay, where you lose me is "the 3e file and ROM Manager." Sounds like you're not following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Make sure, first of all, that you're flashing this one, especially if you're flashing back from CM10. Flash in Odin following jscott30's instructions to the letter. To add CWM, download one of those kernels. Open up the zip file and pull out the zimage and put it on your sdcard (the internal one). Download SGS Kernel Flasher. In SGS Kernel Flasher, choose to flash the zimage you just put on your phone. It will ask to reboot. Reboot and Bob's you're uncle! You have CWM.
Finally, I feel bad for posting here because the dev forums are being overrun with Q&A questions like these. So, apologies to everyone else. However, I've been there and wanted to help you out. In future, please use the Q&A forum if you have a help question.

Wow whizz, thank u very much for the help. I know some moderators would get mad at what u dis. But man I was literarily loosing my mind. I evwn rhrough the phone at my wife cause I was so iritated. I folowed what u said. Extracted zimage and flashed with the kernel app off the market. All I gotta say is thank u very much. Now wheres that thank u button?

1. Not going to happen with JB or ICS roms.
2. GB (and Froyo) roms - make sure to disable voodoo lagfix from CWM recovery, reboot and allow conversion process to complete. Then flash a stock kernel using Odin, Heimdall, or SGS kernel flasher. You will lose CWM recovery and some ADB capabilities.
Good luck...

refer to section 2 of my guide. Flashing the kernel is the same steps as flashing the stock rom.

Dumb guy question...does the device have to be active to run Odin? I black screen bricked my VZW S3 and I'm using the above mentioned Guide (which is awesome) to flash back to stock (I hope).

[Q] How do I flash a Rom on my phone?

Hi!:laugh:
I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G, and now want to flash it with CM10
This is the guide I've been following but I've never succeeded:
w w w . android. gs /update-galaxy-s-4g-cm10-android-4-1-jelly-bean/
Every time I go into CWM and chose the zip file, it says that it can't mount my SD card.
I've wiped the cache and deleted all user data (factory reset), though it still won;t flash.
I've used programs like Android Commander, and it still won't flash.
Will someone please explain to me why I can't flash the rom?

Welcome to the forum,
You need recent CWM (the blue one) to be able to flash mtd roms.
You have two choices:
1) Flash using heimdall one-click (found in the stickies section) then CM10 using CWM. <=- (you do need to follow the instructions carefully)
2) Download Samsung Galaxy Kernel Flasher from play store, and download AntonX kernel (Search the forums), then flash CM10.
Edit:
I checked the link you provided, I would say please DO NOT flash any ROM from unknown sources. In quick glance they provide false
information. Specifically you cannot return to STOCK with CWM once you are using MTD rom (you need heimdall or Odin).
Please read before you flash anything.
PS: despite flashing using CWM is somewhat safe for this device (SGS4G), but don't take this safety for granted for other devices,
ALWAYS be careful, and learn from other people mistakes (I recently hard bricked S2 Hercules by flashing wrong kernel using CWM).
