[Tester Needed] kb2 odin package

So I asked a question in q&a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262729) about a way to get back to kb2 since my replacement came preloaded with it and if I ever had to send it back I wanted it to go back with the stock rom. After failing to find one I found a way to back the stock rom into a odin package.
According to the instructions there shouldn't be any bootloaders that could hard brick a phone. I would try this myself but if in the process I get soft bricked then I don't think I have a way to get back to kb2 stock. Therefore if anyone has already flashed a rom and can tell me if this works i would be greatly appreciated. If anyone know a little dev work and can tell me if I need to change anything that would be great too.
Link for stock rom will be posted as soon as filesonic upload is complete. Thanks for anyone willing.

Could you upload the file onto multiupload? And zip the tar. And the tar shouldn't be 400+ mb.

Yea. Ill do that here in a bit. And I noticed that. I'm not sure why it is such a large file. Just followed instructions from this post...

We should start a UnBrickable Mod thread in the Captivate Development forum for testing stuff like this.
BTW... you can apply UnBrickable Mod to your device and restore it easily. Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242466

Ok.... if something goes wrong in 90 days, you get it replaced for free? so... like...

you're going to wait until that 90 days is up to do a mod you plan on doing? what if something goes wrong while you're doing the mod?
Just saying... a warranty is a great backup plan.

is there a way to tell what the differenet entries in /dev/block are?

Why not a heimdall one click package instead of Odin?

[FIX] No service after flash fix

If you don't have service after flashing a Jelly Bean ROM or Justin's GAPPS follow these simple instructions.
1. Go to the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#*
2. Click on "Phone Information"
3. You should notice almost towards the bottom radio settings, Make sure the radio is on and change the settings from WCDMA to GSM (auto)
4. Exit out of the screen by pressing the back button
5. Reset the phone and you will have service.
If your phone keeps reverting to WCDMA follow these directions
1. Use GTG's Ultimate Unbrick here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
2. When you are reverted to stock rom, use Super 1 Click to root. which can be found here http://shortfuse.org/ Restart phone.
3. Follow these instructions to get 3e then clockwork Recovery on your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 PM me if you need Root Explorer APK
4. Boot into recovery. FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
5. Flash ICS Rom of your choice. I recommend Paranoid Android which you can find here. http://d-h.st/NMp don't bother with GAPPS for now
6. Boot up android and reboot into recovery FULL WIPE DATA DALVIK EVERYTHING
7. Flash the Jelly Bean ROM of your choice. I recommend Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD which can be found here http://d-h.st/MZ9 Don't bother with Kernel or GAPPS for now
8. If you have a boot loop that's normal, pull out the battery, re flash then reboot into android
9. Once the device is booted, make sure you have a strong signal and can make phone calls. THEN reboot into recovery
10. Flash OC Kernel and GAPPS of your choice. MAKE SURE to use this kernel http://d-h.st/mcN if you used Unofficial CM10 8/31 - Butter - MTD. I recommend Justin's GAPPS which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292
11. Reboot and viola! You should have service for ever and ever.
This no service problem is caused by your IMEI getting wiped when you flash straight from stock to jelly bean.

Then its a deeper problem...flashing back to stock won't break your SIM, atleast it shouldn't and I've never heard of it happening
What program did you use? Odin or heimdall? If it was Odin did you check the box for clear efs, if you did check the box that may be the problem...
Go to settings, then about phone/status and look for your imei...is it their or is it blank/or weird symbols?

I already started a thread about this subject. Personally I've been able to find that my problem isn't with flashing "JB", but with stepping up from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1. I'll bet you guys are having the same problem.

[Q] Please help unlocked bootloader but keep getting Verizon system message

Someone please help.. I unlocked my bootloader with ez unlock and I flashed the rom solid ice, well I got the verizon system software message when the rom rebooted after the flash. So, I followed he instructions and went back to stock with ODIN 3.07 and re downloaded ez unlock and again it said unlock...my phone keeps saying it is unlocked and I go flash a rom and get that yellow triangle with the verizon message. NOTE: Prior to today, (which is bizarre because nothing has changed except I went back to stock and updated the phone to clear it because it was acting funky from too many different roms I guess) I have flashed several roms with the ez unlock and not gotten that message. Please Help! I will be grateful if we can figure out if I am banned from flashing roms by verizon even with an unlocked bootloader??????
Hope this made sense, I am stressed a lil:crying:

From what I read earlier, the new version of EZ Unlock isn't unlocking the bootloader. You need to find an older version.

Looks like you got it figured out. They call that a soft brick. It happened to me.

its called not unlocking your bootloader before flashing custom firmware on your device. my suggestion is to read the guides stickied around here before your soft brick turns into a hard brick!

Are you saying that the Rom runs ok but when you goto recovery you get the triangle? i was reading something about how the stock recovery can be re flashed by accident in some situation, try odin recovery again?

Nope. What he did is exactly what droidstyle said. He didn't unlock his bootloader which is the first step you should take after rooting your phone if you are going to be playing with any ROMs.

I think he had to have his bootloader unlocked to flash the Rom in the first place. My guess would be that he relocked it at some point.

If CM10 is anything like Synergy it does a check for the bootloader being unlocked and if it is locked still it skips installing the kernel. The rest of it goes along fine.

Okay I am a NUBE. I ran casual and then odin everything worked good. ThenI started getting errors when i was opening apps. So I was going to go back to stock. I ran oden again, this time using the bootloaderbaseline.tar 1,030K file. Now I am getting system software not authorized by verizon wireless found on your phone.
Now when I hook up to the usb cable it will not recognize to try and reload the bootloader.
any suggestions... Thanks again.

Try the Note 2 forums here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1886, they will probably be a lot more helpful. This is the Verizon Galaxy S3 forum.

[Q] Help. No calls. Texting & 4G works. MEID=0?

Hello,
I just received a "pre-owned" phone from Verizon.
After rooting and testing out some roms I realized I can't make calls or text anymore. Mobile network still works.
I was on a nightly build of CM and I thought it might be a bug in the build so I switched to stable build.
After that, I am now able use text messaging and mobile network, but still no phone calls. I've gone back and forth between stable and nightly and I've tried other roms too, still no calls.
After doing some research, I realized that my MEID=000000000 (more or less), and my IMEI=0.
Could that be it? If that was the case, should texting and mobile network not work?
I will try and use odin to go back to stock, but will that repair my MEID/IMEI?
Thanks,
Adrian

You didn't backup your imei by chance did you? You can manually inject your imei with qpst (Google it for a YouTube video) or follow directions in this thread to reprovision your phone. You should also follow the link on the bottom of that thread to fix your eri if you use qpst.

You aren't screwed, it's just a hassle to get everything back. Backing up your imei fixes this issue in like 5 seconds.
Just read through what I gave you and you'll get it back.

Thanks again for helping me out.
I'm downloading the stock odin image (takes forever) and after I flash it I'll try dialing the *2767*3855#.
If that doesn't work though, in that thread you sent me, there's a link to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44871571&postcount=3&nocache=1&z=1185709806159138
Is this the method I should use? If so, the poster gets a little hard to understand (I can't figure out what the forbidden program is), could you elaborate?
If I could get this to work I'll make this into a sweet guide for anyone else in this position.

The labyrinth of link in the forums brought me here:
[[[[http]]]] ://adbtoolkit [[[[dot]]]] com/misc/device/samsung/galaxys3/sch-i535/#.UnyEufk_smk
(sorry, I couldn't post an outside link)
There's a file called: "Samsung_MEID_RepairV3.5.rar".. what is that? is that what I've been looking for?

I never actually looked through what he posted, but I'm confused as well. You're going to have to dig around to find that. I think he's talking about qpst though.

Maybe, it sounds like it, keep reading and see if you can figure out what it's used for.
