I am new here and searched for a similar problem but can't seem to find one just like mine. This is my first time to root this phone but have been successful in the past with others. I have a Galaxy Blaze I just bought and attempted to root with blaze.pit and blaze-root-kernel.tar in pit and PDA sections of ODIN respectively. It appeared all went well with a PASS from Odin reporting All threads completed. (Successful 1/faliled 0).
The phone auto rebooted while connected to the PC but froze on the blue "loading" bar (that's what I call it) and is frozen on the battery charging indicator screen which does increment when plugged into AC. If I push the power button it just buzzes. I never got so far as to load a ROM which is what leads me to think my question may be new but stupid me if digging through here didn't turn up what I'm looking for. This is my only phone and I'm SOL without it. I'm afraid I might have gotten the files from an old source (suspicion) and would appreciate any guidance getting me back where I was or rooted so I may continue.
I can get into load mode so not all is lost, except for me. Thanks for any kind person that would take a moment to bail me out.

I shoult mention that I did try to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591601 but was not able to get the TAR file to download.
What version(ICS or GB) were you on when you tried to root? There are root methods that are different for both ICS and GB... Since you can boot into download mode, try getting Clockwordmod on your blaze via Odin. Then from there mount your device(via CWM) and transfer a ROM you want to try out. Don't forget Gapps... then wipe data/cache/dalvik and flash them both..

^^^ he's right... I did the same thing when I got my Blaze. I forgot to uncheck Repartition. You have to UN-check it after you select the tar and pit. it auto checks repartition once those are selected.
go to the CWM post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591622 and flash CWM via Odin. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY Then if you're able to get into recovery, download whatever Rom you want to your pc, and inside recovery go into Mounts and Storage->Mount USB Storage and plug your phone into the computer. you should then be able to copy the downloaded Rom to your phone (make sure you know whether its your internal or external SD card. Then hit +++Go Back+++ twice and choose Install Zip from SD Card. The pick one: Choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from internal sd card. then navigate to the rom's zip, install, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reboot phone and you ***should*** be good to go.
Still trying and eternally grateful

Thank you so much for the input. I must be totally stupid because Odin loaded Clockwork mod without a hitch but it still freezes at the end of the blue bar and will no further. Odin reoorts pass When I boot do downloading... it only gives me the product name sgh-t789 Custom Binary Download Yes: (4counts) and current binary Custom. There is always a chance that I forgot to uncheck ro-partiton but I was pretty careful. All this to get rod of pages of bloatware...rrgh. Thanks so much to thos who have given me input so far. Unfortunatly I am not sure what I ws running in the first place but I imagine it was not ICS. I can't afford a new phone and know I must get past this!!! Thanks a million guys. I will try to find a rom to flash and see but am not even sure how to get into Cloclwork on ths silly thing yet.
To get into recovery you must do the volume buttons/power button hold. It's explained in the rooting thread. It's not hard, just follow the instructions. You shouldn't have to remove the battery, just turn off your phone, then hold all 3 buttons, release the power button after about 10 seconds but keep holding volume buttons until recovery comes up in your phone.

Thank you. I am able to get into recovery mode without an issue and odin reports that Clockwork Mod Passed but I stil can't get past the blue bar locking up when it reaches the end. I must be missing something stupid as I cand even get Odin to recoginze the stock download so I can try to start over. rrgh. I know I'm missing something stupid but it seems to me that when I boot the phone into recovery I should see a clockworkmod screen giving me boot oprions but not sure what I should be seeing am flying a bit blind. Would appreciate good recommendation of a rom to try and download and where I might find it. I do notice that the rocovery mode screen increments the custom binary dowload indicator everytime I try something.
Im thinking you might have forgotten to repartition the phone. Make sure its selected so you can have a clean partition and redo the steps to root it and see if that works.

strange, i always thought you had to partition, at least at some point.
Anywho, if you can get into recovery (and since you said odin loaded cwm) couldn't you just put a rom onto a SD card, pop it in, and just install it with cwm?

Oddly CWM reports as having loaded in Odin but I cant access it to load a mod unless there is a trick to getting to CWM I haven't figured out yet. I'm also a bit confused that Odin only recognizes TAR files when the mods I downloaded ie liquid are in zip format and not recognized by Odin. sorry for asking stupid questions but I sincerely appreciate the time you all take to respond. I am detrermined to fix this one. I was pretty careful to uncheck repartition but there is always the chance I missed it once.

to get to download mode, you need to either have a jig or to have your phone plugged into your computer while pressing VOL UP + VOL DOWN and PWR. that will get you to Download (Odin) Mode. To get to CWM Recovery, Unplug your phone from your computer and press VOL UP + VOL DOWN and PWR. The phone will do a short vibrate and the Samsung logo will appear. Then you will see ClockworkMod Recovery at the top with options. If you have standard (non-touch) CWM, use volume up and volume down to navigate and select your choice with the power button (short presses, a long press will power off). Go to mounts and storage -> mount usb storage. then copy your ROM of choice to your phone. go back twice and then enter install zip from sdcard. then either Choose zip from sdcard or Choose zip from internal sdcard. install. wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. reboot. win.

My problem is that I am not able to get into CWM. I am able to get into Odin mode but I get the vibrate when trying to boot into CWM then the Samsung logo then the blue bar that freezes when it reaches the end. After that when I try a regular boot all I see is the battery indicator if I have it plugged into power. I really appreciate these detailed instructions, but until I can get past the blue bar, I am stuck.......
Do you let go of the vol button and power before the Samsung logo? If you do then hold the buttons until the logo appears then let them go. If you let go early it just boots like normal

So I've searched the forums for an answer to my question and haven't found anything so here it goes...
I downloaded BB v5 from Pete's site and went through one-click root and flashing my rom, and backing up my device. I mounted my SD card to my computer moved bugless beast over to my root, renamed it 'update' and powered off my phone. Powered in recovery and tried to reinstall packages and got an error: error at installation, installation aborted error at write_raw_data or something to that effect. google'd and came to the conclusion that through me trying to hurry to download BB i did not wipe/clear data. Now my phone sits at the "AT&T World Phone" screen and will not go any further. Tried to power down and power back up in recovery and don't have the access to restore my backups. tried to plug my phone back into my computer and i can not access my SD card from my computer to delete the BB zip and add the original 'update' zip. Tried to enter download mode and run Odin3 but still can not access my SD card, so Odin doesn't run, just says 'complete' I'm assuming because it can't find the device.
I've heard these phones are hard to truly 'brick'. Please tell me someone can help me and tell me that this is fixable.
Thanks,

You have this wrong, to properly use odin you need to:
-Open Odin
-Power down phone/remove batter (some people suggest removing sim and sd card)
-Plug phone to computer while holding the vol buttons or just up or down depending on phone
-Phone should get to download mode and press start
If this doesn't work its possible your three button combo is dicked.
It worked! thanks for the help guys. I had the phone in download mode before i opened odin, odin cleaned me, sorry for being a noob
Again, thanks for the help guys
So I rooted my phone a few months ago but there weren't many mods out yet, so I waited until just today. I saw this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593
I followed everything until I got to the part where I had to go into recovery mode, but before I was supposed to reinstall packages to get into CWM I accidently clicked on delete all user data and delete cache date because I misunderstood. So I got into CWM after and followed it and rebooted but nothing happened and the SGS4G screen just goes on and off. I didnt know what to do so I gave this a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759
I thought it would bring my phone back to stock and rooted because I couldnt recover or restore anything. It just put me in a more confused situation. When I reboot in recovery or just turn the power button on, the SGS4G screen goes on and off still.
So all I can do is this. Go to recovery. reboot,reinstall,delete user data or cache data. It says "signature verification failed" then "installation aborted" when I reinstall packages. And like I said, when I reboot the system all it does is the SGS4G screen problem.
Is there a way to start me fresh to a stock and rooted point? I dont think I have any files or anything on my phone anymore(if that is possible). I wanted to try this over again, but correctly obviously
Thanks for any help. I really need my phone soon
Were you in download mode when you used Odin? It should have worked. Make sure that it shows a yellow symbol with the android alien holding a shovel.

signature verificaton failed means u dont have a modified recovery record
u can get that out of the cwm final thread and push it to system/bin folder overwrite the one dont replace it that will solve that issue for u
I did exactly what the thread for Odin said. I already had the 64bit drivers installed. I downloaded the link that was provided for the ROM and then Odin. The rom took a while to download but it finally did. After that I held both volume buttons and then plugged in the usb and then it went into download mode. After that I opened odin and then clicked on PDA. The only thing that I could click on was the non-extracted rom that I downloaded aforementioned above.Gave it time to download and it said successful. Then I rebooted once it sent me to recovery mode. It also states to try and do it without sim and sd card in the phone which i just tried. It went through as well, but still has the SGS4G going on and off

I would try that but idk how i would be able to push it into the system/bin folder when all my phone is letting me do is go into recovery mode
Did u flash ext4 yet?
A suggestion for you.
If you can get into Down load mode which it sounds like you can, I would use ODIN to flash KC1 with its pit, PDA, Phone and CSC files and let it fully load up. Then ODIN Whitehawk's deoxed KD1 + root and try to flash your other ROM again.
It is very hard to hard brick these phones. Always take care to make sure the mount points in recovery are set to unmount, mount, mount and finally unmount when instructed to do so.
If your getting stuck with the ext4 section which causes this boot loop alot, what I have done is to disable voodoo lagfix, reboot into the newly flashed ROM then go back into recovery and enable voodoo. Has always worked for me.
This is my first post so I apologize if I don't make any sense lol. I develop android apps for a medical software company and I'm wanting to start creating ROMs to help out this great community.
I forgot to mention: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554 - [REF]{BIBLE} Galaxy S 4G (7/24/11) <5:00pm cst> is your best friend
icbinb is a great rom. you will definitely have to odin, as bytesfree says. you should use kc1 by raver. after you odin kc1, boot up normally and let the rom settle in for 10 minutes. then get a root manager, such as super manager or root explorer. download the 2 files from krylons final cwm thread. move both to the proper location using the root manager. make sure the recovery file is named properly. if it has the extra .bin extension in the filename, remove it. then shut down the phone, reboot into recovery, go to reinstall packages and the orange cwm will load. once that loads up, factory reset, wipe cache, go to mounts and check the mounts (u,m,m,u), go to install from sd card, flash the ext4 converter immediately followed by icbinb. all of these zip files should be on the root of your sd. let me know how it goes.
if you get it to flash, remember to leave the phone sitting for 10-15 minutes in order for it to settle in.
also, bytefree, welcome to xda. glad to have you contributing.
As Jager said, ICBINB and others such as Black Ice are great ROMS with lots of tweaks and features. The guys that create these ROMs are awesome in their intellect and programming abilities. Mrchovee, once you get the hang of the steps required to flash a ROM it becomes second nature, just keep at it and don't let a gimped flash bring ya down man. As I said before, these little phones are hard to brick.
Hope someone has some info.
I have recently tried to recover my phone via Odin flash. I'm flashing the GummyCharged 1.9 FE odin file. I've done this SEVERAL times w/ out any problems.
My problem now is that when the Odin flash is complete it shows "Pass" and when I reboot my phone it boots with an old version of CWM (4.0.0.1). Not only that but when I try to "reboot phone" it boot loops back to CWM and will not load ANY for of an OS. I've tried multiple Odin files with no luck. Same thing over and over.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm used to having to recover my phone from a bricked state... but never had an issue where I push a file to the phone and it will not boot after. Tried wiping data/cache after Odin as well... Still nothing.

Yeah, no doubt. And I was able to do a restore on the Imnuts PBJ OBT kernel from 7/30... my problem started when I installed the new kernel version (from 8/8) and tried to backup/restore. Working perfectly now though!
Having same issue still getting recovery mode
I did a fix sd cardupdate for the rom clocking.
I had gumicharge rom on it
After 4 hours my battery was at 50% so I decided hey i can just load the rom on it again and no problem clean free.
It did not work. I am using odin.
It did not work so I got the pit file from this and it gave my system life and the ed1 file wont download it stalls out and failes i tried using

or
CI510_VZW_EP1F_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV3_user_CL300919_Rooted_Debloated.tar.md5
both do nothing.
My phone just sits there reboots into Manual mode and looks like my blue recovery console.
Clear cache
Upload from SD Card
and clear memory so forth.
Thats all my options.
I am now stuck with phone i cant use or update. I am at work so now i cant use the megaupload since those are blocked by our firewall.
I was able to remote to pc to get a pit file.
At this point i dont know what to do or just do insurance claim on my phone and get another one. I dont know how to fix it now.
I cant read the sd card on any computer to put stuff on it and odin is writing things to it The pit file on this fix did give me a recovery enviroment but nothing on roms are on the sd card.
roms ive tried dont load for automaticaly its just in that manual mode thing with the icon of the little android dude.

Not sure if you're going into download mode properly but try this:
open ODIN
add the PIT file in the PIT section
add the EE4 OEM file in the PDA section (do not use the phone section)
leave everything else in ODIN as default except click on "re-partition"
take your battery out of the phone
hold the volume down button & plug in your USB cable (do not let go of the volume down button until you are in download mode)
ODIN should now now show a yellow com port for your phone on top left of ODIN and your phone should display "download mode"
select start
When it's complete ODIN will show in green that it passed. Unplug your phone, put the battery back in & boot
Hope this helps & good luck

don't put the battery in during flash & leave auto reboot checked. Auto reboot will not do anything as there isn't a battery installed... it'll just turn off. Unplug the phone after you flash it & put battery back in & boot

This is pretty much what fixed it for me. DON'T GIVE UP! Trust me, I literally had to try this several times before it booted up. I know its frustrating, trust me, but if you stick with it you can fix the phone.
Each time you're able to get to recovery mode, if you're phone doesn't boot, do like five data wipes and wipe cache. Then Odin the .pit and the EE4 from the link above in the pda field (both at the same time).
Good luck! Stick with it I know you CAN fix this!

No need to wipe anything... when you have "re-partition" checked it wipes everything but the sd card

I'm sure you're right, these are just the things that I did when I finally got it working.
I got stuck myself last night and odin started to fail every attempt, even with the pit file and following numerous instructions found around the site. I actually thought my phone was bricked for good.
I installed PST lite and selected the PIT and EE4 and selected to repartition. It took longer to do but everything came back up. Then using odin I was able to flash back to the rom I had before.
This was after an hour of trying to fix it as I mentioned and Odin kept failing.
^attempting to reflash via samsung pst lite.
loaded PIT, stock EE4. checked "repartition". when I click download, it starts, but freezes at 9%. RX_TIMEOUT shows on the phone screen.
I'm trying this method b/c Odin is not working. Same thing, just hangs, sez RX_TIMEOUT. (repartition w/ PIT, stock EE4)

Yes. tried both with and without. Just hangs. Can never fully make it through the flash.
Stuck with soft bricked phone.
Waiting for my wife to get home with her PC laptop. Hoping it really is just a platform issue (running ODIN on Mac Boot Camp)

What version of Odin are you using? I'm pretty sure I'm using Odin v. 1.82 or something close to that. Not too sure that it would make the difference. Just a thought.
Also, I had to Odin QUITE a few times to get it back up. I had even run the Odin w/ JUST the .pit file. Thought I read somewhere to run the .pit an UNCHECK the repartition box (I know it says it'll give you an error but I did not get one).
All in all, not too sure what exactly it was that finally got it working. But I eventually ran the .pit and ee4 (both posted in post #2 of this thread). Then when my phone booted up, it looked like the problem remained. I had to get back to work from lunch so I just put the phone in my pocket. Then out of nowhere I heard the boot animation come on.
Just make sure you read through, pretty much, all of the threads that deal w/ this stuff. There is almost always someone that has come across the same problem that you may have and almost always someone who had figured out how to fix it.
Good luck, this CAN be fixed!
Heya folks,
Sorry if this seems like a redundant post, but I'm unable to find anything specific for my little scenario which runs as follows:
So I was attempting to flash my phone w/ infinityROM through CWM, but after the flash, my Droid Charge will not get past the Samsung loading screen Now here is where it gets complicated before you start referring me to the Odin threads to flash it w/ the PIT file:
When hooking my phone up to ANY PC (regardless of Windows OS), Windows recognizes that my phone is connected, but will not let me access the SD card on the phone. It pops up as both a CD drive and a Removable drive in Windows and when navigating to it, Windows comes back saying, "Please insert disk into [drive]." Looking under Disk Management, it says that there is no media for the drive in question. I even swapped in a new microSD into it (after copying everything over from the original) and it was still coming up with the same thing, so same symptoms using both microSD cards.
(If you're wondering how I was able to flash infinityROM, I had to use a USB drive w/ a microSD adapter, put the .zip for the ROM on there then put it back into the phone and flashed it through CWM as normal; and yes, wiped the data and the Dalvik cache ).
As it stands right now, I can't load up into CWM to even try a restore (which I did before trying to flash it) and it won't boot up into Download mode to even try an Odin flash.
Any help on this would really, really be appreciated (the sooner, the better obviously ). If you need more information, let me know and I'll provide it as necessary.
Thanks!
can you get into download mode? by remove battery, then plug in usb cable , then hit the vol down button. You should see yellow triangle. Put battery backin and use Odin to recover.
I can't even get into Download mode. That was one of the first things I actually tried =(
This may work:
1. Removed SD and SIM card
2. Removed battery
3. plugged the phone into USB
4. held down vol-up and vol-down
5. popped the battery back in while holding vol buttons
good luck.
Got into D/L mode and Odin's recognizing it... trying the recovery right now. I'll let you know how it goes (and in advance, thank you mate! =D)
If you can get back into download mode you're 100% safe.
Quick question: Would a full recovery via Odin wipe out CWM thereby making me having to reinstall it?
Only If you're using PIT file method recovery, yes Odin will be wipe. But this is no big deal, just Odin the cwm back.
Eureka! Got it booting into a stock Gingerbread ROM! Now to re-do CWM and try flashing this thing again... thanks for your help buhohitr =D
I have searched all over the web and this forum and after literally days of searching all I have found seem to be from late 2011. And none of the several methods will to root my Galaxy Tab 7.7 i815 Verizon LTE tablet. My question is, is there a current way to root my tablet? I really want to root and custom rom my tablet, but I am ready to pull my hair out. I have rooted my Galaxy S4 and flashed a custom rom and it was so easy, and is just so much better. I woulsd love to flash a Jelly Bean rom on this tablet, thats my goal. Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

You don't need to root to install a custom ROM. You need to flash a recovery, and then use that to flash the ROM. I'm not sure if Verizon added more difficulties to install a recovery, though; my P6800 was as easy as it gets to go from Honeycomb to anything else.

Thanks Steve! I feel like an idiot looking all over for a root and not a flash. Ok could you tell the steps to flash this please. Please forgive my noobness, and thank you so much for your reply! I think I have an idea how to do it, but I just want to be certain.
I need the same thing. Let me know how it works out

I'd rather let someone who actually owns an i815 give you exact instructions, but the general idea for Samsung devices is:
- Get Odin on your PC, for example, from here
- Reboot your device to download mode (power off, then power it on while holding volume down or volume down + home)
- open Odin
- Put the recovery .tar (or .tar.md5) file on "PDA", DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE, and click "start". The file will flash, and then the device will reboot
- To enter the recovery, power on while holding power+vol. up
- Make a backup
- Factory reset
- Install the ROM .zip
I can't tell you if this works on the Verizon version, though; or if there is anything else involved. I have an international P6800, where this works fine. Maybe someone who has the same version can help?

okay, well,
First of all, I couldn't find the backup option so I just wiped the device.
Secondly, I have one of the CWM 10.1 zips on my sdcard. I keep on getting the error "failed to verify the whole file structure."
edit: okay, this is the real problem. I can't get the CWM or the TWRP recovery on the samsung tab 7.7 via Odin. That is the real problem.
Okay, I figured it out. Basically, the hiccups come from two things: have to make sure USB debugging is selected in the developer options in the settings.
Secondly, it appears that CWM needs to not have the USB plugged in when you want to activate its recovery mode.
Now, all I need to do is figure out how to install the play store.
And...I"m afraid that from now on, system updates means that the entire device gets wiped?
CM10.1 JB is sooo much better than the lousy Samsung touchwiz or whatever junk that they came up with.
It's all up and running with GAPPS too. Weirdly, for GAPPS, it's not a good idea to download your GAPPS while on a mac. Download on PC. The mac seems to automatically decompress zip files, and then if you recompress them, it does so in a way that CWM does not recognize.
Otherwise, it's okay. Some hiccups and oddities. I am running a build made in July 2013, by a guy in Hong Kong, I believe. Cyanogen updates don't come up with anything, not even old versions. Also, the lock screen is always in landscape mode for some reason, never portrait.
But this is how to do it...
Basically, the way it goes is this. You have to replace the recovery bootloader with a custom bootloader in order to load the custom build. You do this by Odin.
First step is getting the tablet ready. It has to be in USB debugging mode. You then have to power it off. Power it on again while holding on to the volume down button. get through the screen and wait. Then you connect it to the computer and run Odin. On the "PDA" tab, you select the CWM .tar file and hit "start."
Second step is to download a build of CWM and put it on a micro-sd card. Has to be in .zip format. Also, download the CWM GAPPS .zip file and put it on the microsd.
Third step is to unplug the device from USB, and go into recovery mode. You do this by turning it off. Then turn it on again while holding volume up.
You should see the CWM screen. Make sure to clear/reset the device and wipe out all caches. Then install from external sd card. I think you can also install the GAPPS after installing the OS.
Then reboot and you're good.
edit: landscape lock screen is just a checkbox in the setting.
New problem: really slow transfers to sd card through USB. Really really slow. Like 3-4x as slow as just connecting sd card to sd card reader.

Also, download the CWM GAPPS .zip file and put it on the microsd" So which ones did you use? I just don't want to screw anything up. Thanks again.

OK I followed your steps flawlessly, and my screen will not go past the paranoidandroid 3+ boot screen. Please help me I'm freaking out
Try framaroot. Install the app, usb debug on and root.
Now you can install recovery with a lot of apps.
