Hello Everyone, This is an Instructional Odin ROM to flash Back to Factory Stock and/or Recover your Broken System.
This is NOT the firmware that the phone ships with but it is the complete official update from Tmobile that began Rolling out on July 21st.
The process is Exactly the Same as flashing the Shipped KD1 Firmware for ODIN i've uploaded In this Thread
This is 100% STOCK Odexed T839UVKG2 firmware For the Sidekick 4G and needs to be flashed through Odin. Odin is attached below along with the Sidekick 4G pit.
How to Install/Flash.
Code:
0. Download the StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 File (Find link Below)
1. Remove the .md5 tail
2. Open odin with phone not connected yet
3. Boot in to download mode using Trackpad+Vol down then power
4. Connect phone to pc
5. StockKG2ODIN.tar in pda slot, Use SK4G pit file from below in Pit Slot
6. Double check that only auto-reboot is checked (if it doesnt work the first time, click re-partition)
7. Click start
First boot may take around 3-5 mins. Wait it out and then you should be good to go.
StockKG2ODIN.tar.md5 >>> DOWNLOAD
UPDATE: FOOL PROOF WAY TO GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE
ayoteddy said:
Try this, take the battery sim and sd card out of your phone.
Open odin, put the tar in pda and pit into pit.
Plug your phone into the usb.
Now bare with me, this part is a bit akward but you can do it.. hold the vol down key and trackball *with one hand* and put the battery in while holding them. You will be in download mode and Odin will detect your phone. Then flash

Use the Thanks button if this was helpful ; post below if you have feedback/questions ect, Thank you and please enjoy!

my 2 cents about the update
btw guys, i know alot of people has complained about things from the update but dont let that scare you. i personally didnt encounter any of them. it seems samsung or tmo cleaned it up a bit and increased the sensitivity of the trackpad, also allowing the trackpad to be disabled. They say they addressed various bug fixes but didnt state which so we'd have to see for ourselves. if anything make a backup and give it a go. i've been able to root it with the same one click root method.

the Odin went perfectly.. thanks ayoteddy. guess i'll root it and play around with the latest that Samsung/Tmo have for us..... until you guys release your next masterpiece, with these fixes baked in.
in the meantime, do you think the Bali kernel could be flashed onto this?

downloading when i get home from work!

Hey teddy. Do you plan on incorporating this update's fixes to your Smooth Maximus? This and the extended power menu and lockscreen mod will be an update to Ginger Clone?

huh, it didn't seem to work.... it seemed to complete the lagfix conversion, but then wouldn't boot, would stay at the Samsung screen, doing those force close vibrations. wonder if I forgot something....
I used CWM from Rom Manager, then flashed the CWM 3:xxx zip to flash the kernel.

it should take less than 4 mins.
If you still have trouble getting into download mode let me know

in my experience, Set Partition should only take about 10 seconds until it moves on to the actual flashing, but sometimes it just hangs there forever. in that case I close Odin and maybe try again, or else try again without re-partition.... I dunno, Odin seems inconsistent, but it always seems to eventually work.

Phone did not upgrade to ICS properly

First of all I apologize if this has been brought up before in other posts. I am in a mixture of frustration and panic right now because I tried upgrading to ICS on my Rogers SGS2 LTE, and it failed.
Using Kies, I followed the prompts, and for whatever reason it didn't finish. Now when I boot up the phone, it keeps telling me to use the recovery mode option in Kies. However, if I do try to use recovery mode, it always times out and tells me I may need to contact a Samsung service center. The computer has no problem communicating with the phone, AFAIK.
Basically, I'm here to ask what options I have. Currently, i'm trying to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , but because the stock TAR is taking a long time to download, I'm asking if I have any other options. I would like to keep the data on my phone, but if I have to wipe it to return it to normal I'm willing to do that.
Please help.

Reboot and try again

Are you rooted? Are you running the stock recovery that came on the phone? If your rooted and have apps that are froze or your running a modded recovery like cwm you must flash back to stock or kies will not ever work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I've tried rebooting the computer I was using, and I've also tried another computer with no luck. I got the latest Kies on the other computer, connected the phone with no problem, and tried recovery mode on THAT 2nd computer, but it didn't work because it didn't recognize my recovery code that the first computer gave me.

I *think* I was rooted. I remember doing something a long time ago involving odin. I never installed Cyanogenmod or any other 3rd party roms.
I had Superuser under my apps, if that helps.
I wish I could reply sooner but this board is making me wait 5 mins between posts. Sorry. It's like I'm in the emergency room with a gunshot wound and I'm waiting for the doctor to finish his smoke break, then his coffee break, then washroom break, jesus
by CWM, I think you're asking about Clockwordmod? If so, yes, I had that on my phone. Does this mean I can't use the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 to fix my phone now? Or can I still proceed.

If you have superuser then most likely you are rooted and since you have clockworkmod especially then kies is not gonna update your phone. Your on Rodgers so you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I'm on att or I could link you to one that would work. I got my stock firmware from Samsung website. Try going to sammobile and see if you can find the stock firmware for your phone. I'm sure since its Samsung they should have Rodgers firmware to. Download the stock firmware and flash it in Odin onto to your phone and then kies should work. If you can't find the stock firmware at sammobile then look for the stock firmware here on xda I'm sure someone on Rodgers has it....
Edit. The link up there to Odin back to stock should work. Just download the file and follow the steps in order and don't leave one out. There are no shortcuts when it comes to flashing a phone or it could be rendered useless for anything more than a paperweight. Konane is real good and would not lead anyone wrong....

Just flashed it via Kies, had to use ODIN by flashing stock, Odin wouldn't work till I rebooted my computer, then once Kies updated, I had had a error ( com.Android.phone stopped) but I cleared data and cache in 3e, then everything worked.

I just wanted to post a follow-up. I followed the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and it fixed me phone. Best of all, I didn't lose anything.
I would still like to get ICS on my phone. I noticed on Sammobile's site that there is a firmware for 4.04 that was released recently. Would I somehow be able to use that, combined with Odin, to get ICS on my phone? In other words, follow all the steps in the aforementioned thread, except, use this newer firmware file? Sorry I realize this may sound like a dumb noob question, but I want to make sure I do things right.
Thanks for all the help btw.

If you're back to stock and on Rogers, you should be able to update using Kies.

The thing is, when Odin fixed my phone, it didn't remove Superuser, so doesn't that mean my phone isn't stock anymore? I was expecting Odin to basically reset my phone back to factory settings, but it seems to have just reverted it back to before I tried updating to ICS with kies.

If you go into 3e or cwm if you still have it, you should be able to clear cache and data, so after that Kies should recognize it and start the download

I haven't used the stock 3e that much always just flash cwm but I would suggest that you do a factory data reset to from the recovery if 3e gives that option I've never used it so I'm not sure. But if you are still on cwm recovery kies will not ever update your phone until you put everything back stock. You must have just flashed the kernel only. Flashing just the kernel does not wipe anything you need to flash the stock firmware from sammobile in Odin and that will do a full wipe and restore everything to stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Sorry but what is 3e? The only place i see cwm mentioned is under the rom manager app, but when i launch it rom manager says i don't have a rooted device and super user can't be found. Weird thing is i see super user as an app on my phone.

Turn the phone off. Hold both volume up and volume down and hold the power button do not release the volume buttons yet. Pressing all 3 buttons when you first see the screen come on mine shows an att logo then release the power button only. The phone will then boot into either 3e stock recovery or cwm recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

OK, I did what you said, and I see 3e and the option to wipe data/factory reset. So you're recommending I do this BEFORE i try to use Odin and the latest firmware for Sammobile?
Just out of curiosity, if I didn't do a reset before flashing using Odin, what would happen?

[Q] stuck on firm error screen

i tried to root my samsung galaxy s blaze last night with odin....im stuck on a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue..please select recovery mode in kies..its not that easy...i went through the process of rooting beforehand and it was totally stuck on the screen where it has the little bar that fills up...right after the flying andriod screen...lol...im so lost...can anyone help me out...thanks yo..

Hmm.. if it says that on Odin you're probably on force download mode. So I'd suggest you flash a stock firmware from Sammobile.com. (you'll just flash the PDA file which is in the tar) then you should try rooting again. I'd suggest you follow Erikmms' guide on the dev thread.
(P.S I know you pm'd me sorry for the delay. If you've anymore questions pleases feel free to pm me.

Just for my own curiosities sake, why not auto-reboot?

I'd recommend auto reboot. Then you don't have to go through the hassle of manual reboot from Odin.

[How] to unroot samsung galaxay tab 2 7.0 P3113 Enjoy :)

how to unroot samsung galaxay tab 2 7.0 P3113 straight up without any guessing
but guess what i am not the one to be mad at or responsible if anything happens to your device
backup your data of anything
lol had to put that
making this because i was up for like almost 3 hours trying to figure out how to get this done.
first you need 3 files
the latest Jelly Bean stock
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/188869946/30f5c4d/P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC.zip.html
the odin with root
http://download.chainfire.eu/256/CF...fi-espressowifiue-gtp3113.zip?retrieve_file=1
and
Triangle Away this is where i got the app from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
i put the files in order of size so you can download the files as you go
for extra guidance watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzydHUG7XZE
its for s3 but the concept is the exact same
I started from a stock rooted rom i backed up thats what the Triangle Away fourm said to do
Ok while rooted go install Triangle Away once installed boot in to download mode. By turning off the device and holding (Power + Vol down button).
when in download mode press up to enter it this is so you can check your flash / binary count. Once you found out boot restart by (Power + Vol up button) when fully booted
go into Triangle Away before you click reset counter make sure its the same number you saw in the download mode once matched then click the button.
Next after the stock firmware is downloaded extract the file then go back into download mode and press Vol up button to enter it connect device to Odin dont touch or look at anything just click on the left where it says pda click on the md5 file that was extracted from download then click start. Dont touch or look at device until its done because you can possible brick it while in download mode
After flashing let it reboot then skip threw set up to see if superuser is still there. if so (like mine) install Triangle Away app again check the counter. (should be on zero) now go back to download mode and reflash the stock md5 again
and now should be fully stock with no root and no binary count. Take it back to store!! lol or just enjoy stock for new OTA.

#1 this is for the Canadian version of the tab 2. you need to state that.
#2 couldn't you have uploaded this to somewhere else other than hotfile?

First of all, thank you for posting this, wealthy23!
Second, I see fix-this! said this is Canadian version of stock ROM. Is this different from the US version? If so, what's the difference and where I can find the US stock ROM?

I am not sure what he is talking about but it worked on my tab 2 which is US version and

I didnt mean to be rude but the file you uploaded is for the canadian version. I double checked on google with the build number. Theres also a US version but with a slightly different extension. Im not at home or i would upload it.

I think I found a way
The thread is a month old, so please forgive the necromancy. I haven't noted it elsewhere, so I post in hopes it will help somebody else out.
I found that this works if you flashed via CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi. In triangle away, I reset the counter. Rebooted and clicked "system modified workaround". Rebooted again. Immediately checked the status and after mauling that matter over a bit, it decided "Official" and let me update. (Or, rather, told me I was up to date) Note: probably a good idea to disable the system modified workaround before upgrading. As of yet, it still says "Offical" after disabling modified workaround & reboot, but from what I've read, it will eventually change it's mind. Hence, using this, I imagine you should be able to keep root and use Triangle Away to check for updates every so often. Not stock flashing required.
If you find these instuctions helpful, pay for the App - he deserves it.

Yeah that's good one too!! I want to know that also if possible...

Yes i had root but was able to flash original firmware back to it so it said official thankfully sammy didnt notice it was rooted but when i took it back to shop they knew lol but as it under warrenty and i pointed out hardware showing them that it didnt happen every boot only most of them they sent it off and it came back.
unfortunately they put jellybean on it even though it had ics which is what i said to put back on it.
