Make phone image

OK. On my last phone I immediately started playing with ROMs and lost my 3 button recovery as well as the ability to get and use OTA updates.
While I'd like to play with the ROMS and such, I'd like the ability to restore it to where it is today. 100% stock ATT.
Is there some way to make an image or something of my exact phone that I can use with odin or something later to get it back EXACTLY like it is today?

check out the forum sections. They have great video tutorials on how to rom. There is also a prog called odin3 which puts your phone back to stock.

Actually Odin does not return to your stock. That's why many Captivates lost 3button recovery when they used Odin and phones recovered with Odin will no longer do OTA updates.
I would like to avoid those pit falls before changing ROMs.

Msube answering my own question. Will clockwork recovery do the same as Odin, except get me back to where i am now?
Since I'll need to root/unroot, will my phone ba any different after the unroot than before the root?

Like a snapshot. I agree, would be nice

From my understanding odin will get you back completely to stock if you are trying to send the phone to at&t for repairs. I believe it is/made from leaks from at&t

Nope. If it flashed completely to stock there would not have been all the phones that lost 3 button recovery after using it (apparently because it changed the sbl.bin file which is apparently NOT the same on all captivates). You also would be able to get OTA updates after using Odin, which once again, my phone and most others won't.
I suspect that there are minor differences between the software in various run of phones as new chips and programs were tried to correct issues. Odin is based on the software from ONE of these variations (maybe not even a Captivate). Odin will get you phone where you can use it and close enough to stock get it past the exchange flunkies, BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME AS WHEN YOU BOUGHT YOUR PHONE. At least not in all cases.

So, is there some way to get it back to the default, out of the box, AT&T ROM?

I don't know. That's what my original question was. I had a phone dtraight out of the box. For that matter, even now I only have rooted so I could do a clockwock back up. I was looking for a way to make an exact copy of my phone thst I could put back on latr. If anyone knows how, apparently they don't want to share.

I'm also interested in this.
If you have root and a copy of busybox installed could you just. "dd if /dev/pathtocopy of /dev/pathtowrite" to create a drive image?
Can it be that straight forward?

Sort of odin is exasperating existing problems. The loss of the 3 button recovery is an issue with some builds. My build is among those but I have had no problems. As for the loss of kies support I imagine it is somehow related to the loss of 3 button recovery because I have been able to update after flashing to odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

If you lost 3 button recovery you most likely flashed JF6 firmware. You have two options, flash JF6 with 3 button fix or flash a newer at&t firmware such as jh7. I'm Canadian so I don't know if it will work 100% but in my limited experience it will at least fix the 3 button combo not working. If I flash JF6 on my i896 I loose my 3 button recovery too unless I use one with a fix included. Also kies tells me there is an update available when I have JF6 installed with the 3 button fix. Search xda for the image or I can post link later.
Edit: The one click made by Disigngears doesn't work for me, I use the 512.pit file and JF6 with three button combo image file that you can get for odin3.
Sent from my phone using the XDA app.

Some people got 3 button back with the jh7 update. Some (myself included) didn't. Also Kies is not the same as OTA. You should be able to get updates without plugging your phone into the computer.
BUT, I was using that as an example. I would like to be able to return to what I am TODAY. I don't know what other changes are being made by Odin that may bite me later.

Well, corruption of IMEI was a problem with Odin too, but it's easy to restore if you are trying to unlock your phone. I guess you could do a nandroid back up and a rom manager backup and try using them together to restore to exactly what you have now. So far I haven't had any problems with flashing with Odin on a 1010 build, but OTA updates have been unusable, but they just bricked phones anyway. There is also a kies update available too. If you wanna be a test subject, try buying Root Explorer (well worth it) and copy all the files in the root of your system partition into a folder on an external sd card or something.

No, I was using the Samsung PST software. It downloads the software to 100%, then an error dialogue box pops up.
I have the "unknown baseband" problem, and I think it's failing right at the very end as it's trying to flash the modems.
Sorry for the multiple posts--this topic is being discussed in a lot of different threads, and I feel like I'm the only one who can't get it to work successfully.

Baseband Radio
Ok so this is a noob Q. Is the baseband what gives my charge Signal?? Ive been having problems with dropped calls and lack of network stablility would this fix it and can i upgrade to ee4, root flash roms and kernels and still keep the new baseband? Thanks...

In a nut shell, YES. Once you get yourself to an ED1 or ED2 stock or rooted state, you should then be able to accept the OTA EE4 update which will update your radio. Just make sure you are not on a custom rom when you update. So, stock rooted ED1 or ED2, then update. Just apply the OTA, then your favorite root kernel. If you want a custom rom, pick one that is made for the EE4 update. However, you will not lose the radio/baseband update as the custom roms and kernel's don't touch the radio area.
Good luck!!

Thanks youre the only who answered any of my posts...lol I was thinking maybe I had to know someone

Did you take Sim Card out? Heres i what i did.
as soon as i put the phone in download mode ( you know yellow triangle?) i inserted the battery, make sure its fully charged and make sure you take the sim card out. So i inserted the battery back in and pressed the button to start flashing the ED1 file. I tried to flash the ED2 thats on the list but that file is borken i think.

Please continue this discussion in the thread linked in Post #1 so that everything is in one place.

[Q] Rooting turned my phone into a "soft Brick"

I have a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket (SGH-I727) on the AT&T network. I set my phone into download mode, opened Odin3 v.1.85 and selected the .tar file I downloaded off this forum to root the device. Well after about 30 mins of Odin being stuck with the "<ID:0/009> SetupConnection.." prompt I figured it froze up or something. Well I restarted everything and and now my phone just goes straight into Odin mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I'm trying to reload the .tar and it is still doing the same thing...
I'm a complete noob at this! Will someone please help me out with really simple detailed instructions on how I can get my phone working again? I will do anything in return!!!!

Just so you know, reflashing it will work. Sometimes it takes a few tries. Just make sure repartition is not checked, only reboot. click pda and select the CWM tar. Just make sure the device is recognized in the com port before you push start.

Use odin and flash the sammobile image it will wipe everything but should fix the issue
CM9 Skyrocket

Sometimes its as simple as rebooting your computer, open Odin as admin, select your tar under PDA, connect your phone, make sure com is lit up and flash. My windows machine gets freaky like that sometimes and just fails or sits there doing nothing. Driver issue I assume even though they are there. I've encountered that error a few times trying to flash in Odin. No worries. These guys will get you back up. Good luck!

Got it! Working on downloading the .tar file from sammobile right now.
You mentioned different versions of the OS like ICS and 4.0... Which one do I want? LOL and where do I get it? I'm assuming its different than the firmware correct?

Thats a personal choice. Currently there are many different roms floating around but it depends on what you want.
Deciding on which to get is a matter of 2 simple questions for me: Do you want to be up to date, since ICS is the new hottest, thing (sexier UI IMO, some app issues, but overall feel wise. it makes the phone feel so much better, and fits the sleek profile, but lets not have me go on about aesthetics lol.
Or do you want functionatilty, extra options, overclocking (changing clock speeds) and things like that, currently we can only do that on 2.3.5/6 (Gingerbread, also known as GB)
I personally like ICS. Sometimes the Skyrocket just has to be sexy than the powerhouse e-beast that it is. That will happen whenever the Official ICS comes out

You don't need the sammobile tar unless you're returning to stock. If you wanna just be stock rooted, flash CWM in odin. Make a nandroid backup. Then put the superuser zip on the sd card and flash it in CWM.
If you wanna run a custom rom from our dev section, just flash CWM, make a backup and then flash the rom which will already be rooted

You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

Follow thoes 2 guides and youll be good, it worked for me
Just make sure that you unlock your bootloader again and reflash cwm from rom manager
Also be prepared to reflash the cm10 nighty from get.cm (make sure it is 10 not 10.1) because verison will push a software update without even going into setting/about phone/software update
Last of all you will need to update your baseband/modem

I found a quick fix
Ok here is how to fix it I just sorta stumbled upon this.. Re flash cm10.1 when it is first activating either pull your sim or go into airplane mode by pulling down with two fingers from the top and accesing quick settings. then finish the setup over wifi- turn the phone off pop your sim out and put it back in and reboot. now when you take off airplane mode it should be fixed but it wont activate so just use Odin and re-flash root66

I heard the airplane fix is in the CM thread where it belongs. It is not a Q&A thread if it is a known issue with a particular rom. It belongs in that rom thread.

i had the same problem, flash back to the stock rom and dial *2767*3855# it will re-provision your phone and you wont be roaming any longer

How to Fix maybe
First, I installed back to stock settings and radio. I followed the instructions in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1762709
I did the stuff in section 5. Including Flashing a Stock Radio. So I went back to the VRALG1 4.0.4 ROM.
And I did the I535VRLHE radio.
But it still didn't work. BUT, once in stock settings, I did the reprovisioning.
*2767*3855#
And then that finally worked, it went through, and my phone activated.
Credit to nertskull
This worked for me and i was in the same situation as you

Please help me!!!!!!
I have the same issue with the roaming and am not able to make calls, txt, or data. I have dont all of these steps. Back to stock and put the magic number in an still the same. Thank you in advance

[Q] Baseband

If I go thru the process and upgrade my baseband to the new one verizon just released, will I still be able to flash any rom I want once I re root the phone again???

You can flash any Verizon GS 3 ROM regardless of the baseband.

Im on a customized rom now. Do you think its best to allow my phone to take the upgrade....go back and re root real quick. and then reflash the old baseband.
Or just flash the new build and reflash the old baseband.
I heard it best to allow your phone to take the OTA from verizon, which if I do I will obviously loose root...

It depends on what you want. The rom does not change the baseband. If you want to stay on the old baseband just flash a new rom. No need to reroot and go through all that unless you just want to.

Maybe it best I just wait and see what happens with Verizon. If they come out with a diff upgrade to fix the radio issues..
