Rooting Blaze 4G Running Android 4.0.4 ICS - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

How to root the SGH-T769 Galaxy S Blaze 4G from T-Mobile
if you are running Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich​
**As always, I am NOT responsible for any bricked or broken devices. These steps worked for me, but are NOT guaranteed to work for you. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK**
STEPS
You must first downgrade your phone to Gingerbread
Back up all the data on your Blaze and perform a factory reset. If you do not do this, you will have issues with the setup wizard force closing (voice of experience)
Download Odin here and extract the file. Open Odin.
Go to SamMobile's Firmware Page
Register with SamMobile (it's free) and make sure you are logged in to continue
Enter your device (Blaze 4G is T-769)
In the chart at the bottom, click July 2012 Version 2.3.6
Follow the directions on the page to download the Gingerbread firmware
Extract these files
Download the PIT
In Odin, hit PIT and use the PIT file you just downloaded
Hit PDA and put in the .tar you downloaded from SamMobile
MAKE SURE YOU ONLY HAVE AUTO REBOOT CHECKED AND NOTHING ELSE
Put your device into download mode (instructions here)
Odin should say "Added!"
Hit START to begin flashing
The phone will reboot on its own when flashing is complete
Check the firmware version in the "About Phone" section in Settings to make sure you are now in Gingerbread 2.3.6
You have now downgraded your device.
Now you need to flash the rooted kernel. Follow the instructions here.
You should now be rooted!
Good luck! I wish you all the best!​

I just had to replace my rooted Blaze through insurance because phones and water don't mix.
I'm trying to root the new one I just got, but I am running into a lot of issues and would really appreciate some help.
The old phone was running Gingerbread and I was easily able to root it with Odin. It took only a few minutes.
The new one, however, is not so nice. Here is a list of what I've tried:
Tried rooting with Odin
Realized I was flashing the Gingerbread version and soft bricked the phone where it wouldn't go past the boot screen (bar fully loaded and then would do nothing else)
Reverted to stock ICS
Searched for 3 days and nights to find an ICS version to flash
Supposedly found a few, but each time they soft bricked the phone and I had to re-flash the ICS stock
Downgraded to Gingerbread so I could flash the version in Odin that I knew worked
The downgraded version was buggy and the phone wouldn't go past the first step of the setup wizard
Repeated steps 5-7 all night long before giving up and asking for help
I've tried all k0nane's tutorials, read through a ton of XDA threads, tried Blz3r, and tried downgrading using firmware on SamMobile.
Fingers crossed someone will help me :fingers-crossed:
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE ON XDA

try following this thread:

which will bring you back to stock 2.3.6 and then re-root following K0nane's thread precisely.
If you can get a root kernel and CWM, you'll be golden.

Nice write-up
It's curious though, as I never had an issue just ODINing the cwm recovery from here and being good to go - regardless of being on GB or ICS. That being said - more than one way to skin a cat and all that

I used those exact instructions and had nothing but issues. I swear I have grey hairs now from the stress of almost bricking my brand new device

LOL well that's no good! Well, like I said - a number of ways to reach that ultimate goal. My comment was more based on the fact that I am genuinely curious as to the variability in outcome seen with things like this (it happens across devices even). Really the important thing is attaining that goal - so kudos to you for the nice write-up on another method of getting there Now you just need to grab some tweezers and remove the evidence of a struggle lol

Nice! I've always just ODIN'd back to GB, I've always been curious on how to root ICS

Hi I want to unlock my t mobill samsung sgh t 769
could you Help me ?

SGS bricked! Please help or mom will kill me

Dear Friends,
I happened to have a perfectly working rooted SGS running JPK on Froyo until a while ago. When I tried installing fonts with typefresh. This is where everything went haywire. The phone now doesn't want to boot. It says SGS I9000 and vibrates there 4 times and repeats the vibrating cycle. I want the phone to be working again else my mother will murder me. I tried going to the recovery mode and tried to do a factory restore but that didn't help. Tried to reflash the custom ROM I downloaded from this site (can't find that link) using ODIN but it doesn't work either. While reflashing I did not check the repartition tab. What are the possible solutions here?? KIES doesn't detect phone in download mode. Is there any link from where I can download the factory shipped froyo rom and try reflashing the same via ODIN.
Guys please help it has now turned into a Black Screen Of Death. Though I can still go back to Download mode....please help guys this is getting from bad to worse....
Update: The phone now only goes to download mode...
BUMP! Please guys a few hours before mom comes home from work...
Try flashing a 2.1 firmware with Odin.
Google samfirmware.
Sent from my GT-I5700 using XDA App
You could also try flashing
Froyo that does not brick
and then flash to JI6
EDIT:
Do you have the drivers set up for your device?
Also, What device are you using? The SGS line has many phones. My advice above was dependent on it being a Vibrant
Yes I do have the drivers for my device. I'll be trying 2.1 in a while. What are the chances of Samsung giving me a replacement for the device??
I live in India. We don't get the Vibrant here. It's just plain old Samsung Galaxy S GTi9000

If you can reach download mode, find you favorite firmware in one of the guides on XDA, and using Odin flash it.
If you know what firmware you were on, you can also just reflash the PDA file of that firmware. The PDA file is Packages inside the rar file you download from samfirmware.com
Best thing is to find a guide, and follow it.
I'd JPK before things went haywire. I'm wondering what's the difference between JPK and JPM. Which one should I go for??
I'm planning to flash to JM8 then doing either JPK/JPM. Is this fine?? Or should I directly flash with JPK/M and forget about JM8? Which one is better K or M? Anything else I need to be aware of before I take the plunge??

Hey pal.
It really doesn't matter which firmware you flash. Over the time, I realized that what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. It really is a very subjective thing.
Between JPK and JPM, the later (JPM) is the latest release. If froyo excites you, go for either JPM or even JP6 (JP6 being a day newer than JPM and recommended i suppose). If eclair suits your use, I would suggest JM9
Links:
Eclair - JM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802909
Froyo - JP6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807351
It really is not difficult flashing firmwares on the i9000. Just follow the instructions from the thread to the dot and you are all set to go. In the same breath, I would also go as far to suggest that you stay away from custom ROM's till you get familiar with the process of flashing ROM's and troubleshooting (in case anything goes wrong). Stick to the stock ROM's and you should be good to begin with.
Do update on your progress.
Cheers.....
Fixed it. Flashed JPK everything working now! Thanks for all the tips and inputs!

having issues

Hi all im having a brain malfunction,
i have infuse 4 g att with latest "non rooted" 2.3.6 gingerbread from at&t I997uckl2
kernal version 2.6.35.7-I997uckl2-cl806505
gingerbread.uckl2
now my malfunction, i have dl the latest zues rom updated 3-5-12
i cannot seem to figure out 2 things. how to install cwm onto phone "need root" i think,
and 2 and here is where i get called a noob, so i placed the zues build onto my sdcard tried to update form there however, 1 when i get into the directory to update from sd i cannot find the zip "dont have win zip have winrar"
can anyone help a poor sod with a slap and direct me/give links to correct program to install cwm/and zues.
i have odin 1.81 i did dl a zip for cwm-uckl2 however i cannot seem to figure out how to interface it to phone to install it ntm from what i can see odin looks for a pit file/ .tar and i show in my cwm folder under updates modem.bin and redbend_ua
ive done this before but after the last update from at&t im lost
check out the forum below, it has everything you need. You need to root the phone first, install 3eRecovery and CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293751
thanks but i think i failed to say this is the STOCK version of gingerbread the one there is no root for.
thats where im having issues windows is blatently retarded and will not allow heimdall to see the phone. if i have the phone on and connected zadig.exe runs finds phone installs drivers and all cool but then when i go to put phone in dl mode all a sudden i no longer have the device"phone " listed.
so i go to super one click ver. 2.3.3 after it loads 198 zerglings and pauses it fails in middle of step 7.
the real issue here is rooting, thats the real problem, once i root and or flash a rom thats rooted in order to finally instal the zues rom is my goal.
so im at a loss as to what file to actually use where it is able to be installed with out this samgung/at&t from feb,
fail rom lol "i hate at&t if you cant tell. thanks for any help
the same guy below was having the same problems as you I think...you have to flash Entropy512's kernel first I believe using ODIN which can be found on the second link I provided. The first link provides everything, I'd try to explain but I don't want to mess you up.

The hard way is usually what new owners of the Captivate learn, and fast, like I did over the past week or so. I ended up:
- getting the i897uckk4 Odin One Click - Stock ROM and flashing that so it was fully updated (at least as far as the AT&T stock stuff is concerned)
- located the Odin3 v1.85 flasher
- flashed the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar onto the Captivate (it's the stock KK4 kernel with CWM 5 ready to go)
- then used CWM to update/upgrade from a bunch of ROMs, currently using Doc's Master beta v9, but I've tried about 10 ROMs in the past few days, this one is working fine at the moment aside from some ROM Control FC issues, but it's beta obviously
That should get you going. Found all the files here by searching, use the names I just mentioned above to locate them as I didn't save individual links, sorry.
Hope this helps...
Thank U Very Much

Thank U Very Much, Your guild is awesome worked the 1st time, I been trying for 3 days NOW, THANK U SO Much.
Clockwork mod is a recovery kernel replacement which allows flashing of unsigned zip files. You flash or "reinstall packages" as an update.zip from the original recovery. This roots the phone and installs Clockwork recovery.
Flashing roms without knowing the three button method to get into recovery or the button combo to get into download mode could spell trouble for people who are just learning about rom flashing.
It takes a few months of reading threads until a level of understanding is reached where you can flash roms and get out of trouble on your own.

Soooo sorry to bother, but I'm at my wits end trying to root and remod my new captivate. The last one crapped out on me, so I was able to get a replacement, but I don't remember flashing it being this hard 6 months ago...lol! Anyway, here's my current stats and what I'm looking for:
Firmware: 2.3.5
Baseband: I897UCKK4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
Build: Gingerbread.UCKK4
I can if need be flash it back to 2.1 with Odin, but I followed your instructions, and now I'm stuck. I can't for the life of me find the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel file anywhere, on here or elsewhere. I don't even think the phone is rooted now, which is very strange because I was able to flash it, but anyway...any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
I can't upload the Odin One Click ROM, it's too much for my current situation, but here's the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19019338/captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar
MD5: 8464e7cee89c7364d62b760c28a4ca73
File size: 6,359,040 bytes
and here's Odin v1.85 if you don't have it:

MD5: 9a81990a61454402e8714f494bb4eb68
File size: 204,173 bytes
Now, the basics are thus so pay attention:
Since Samsung is never going to release a proper ICS build for us, from what I understand - let me repeat that: from what I understand everything is working with Gingerbread bootloaders, so that's the important aspect. Before you go flashing anything, you'll need to get the Captivate OFF Froyo of any version if you're still using it. So, update that thing using Samsung Kies to the latest version which is that KK4 ROM - that's all that's required.
Once you're done that, and you're "stock" then you would flash the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar kernel using Odin (run Odin with Admin privilege, put the Captivate in download mode, connect it, when detected, click the PDA button in Odin to load that captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar file, then Start to flash it). Once that's done you have the same kernel for KK4 but with CWM ready to go when you are with a proper GB bootloader and you're set.
The only reason I mentioned the Odin One Click above was because I did a few things that "pooched" my Captivate and soft-bricked it at one point but recovered it with Odin and the One Click when Kies couldn't do anything at all. There's a thread around here with all the Odin One Click ROMs, that's where I got mine from.
tl;dr version:
- if you're running any Froyo anything, use Kies to do the upgrade to Gingerbread, NOT the Odin One Click. Kies will update the bootloader from Froyo to GB as required (the Odin One Click was part of what caused my soft-brick, so I learned from the experience)
- if you're already running any Gingerbread ROM, you already have the GB bootloader, so you can use the Odin One Click to go to a pure stock AT&T basic clean ROM as mentioned above
- once you're "stock" use Odin v1.85 to flash the captivate-recovery-cwm5-kernel.tar so you get the same stock kernel but CWM as well
- use CWM to install whatever ROM you want from that point on making sure the ROM archive(s) and any updates or whatever are copied to the internal storage
Personal suggestion: remove the microSD card from the Captivate before doing any flashing at all. Yes it's possible to read from that device (called the external SD in CWM), I simply don't recommend it, ever.
That's about it. The Odin One Click KK4 is not rooted, iirc, I can't say for certain at this moment either way. I only used it a few times to "save" me from the soft-brick. Now that CWM is in there, I've jumped from ROM to ROM over the past week or so but Doc's Master v8 is my fall back stable one so far. Obviously when you load a ROM, look at the Apps and if you don't see SU or SuperUser, it's not rooted.

Can't say on that respect, mine is not even being used as a phone, actually - it's basically a DAP/PMP/PocketPC for me.
Still can't find a service provider with a decent plan that I'd be willing to fork over some money for so, until I find one (if I ever do), this Captivate of mine won't even have a SIM in it.
You won't loose network unlock ever unless your EFS gets modified in anyway...

Thank you SO much for the links and all the time you put in to the explanation. I followed your suggestions, and now I'm running ICS Cyanogenmod 9 in dazzling full color!! You've made what could potentially be a very complicated process extremely easy...I wish I could thank your post 10-fold!! How is your ROM on battery life, btw? I was running CM 7 on my other Captivate, and it wasn't all that great on the battery...waiting to see how 9 works, but my girlfriend still insists it was because I had "too much junk" on the phone...lol! Thanks again!!
Battery life using Doc's Master v8 is as expected, didn't do any extended testing with the CM9 nightly, but then again I'm on the original Samsung stock battery too so, it doesn't hold a full charge anymore like a brand new one would.
I'm hoping to get some cash together soon to get that Anker 2-pack w/charger on Amazon (the 1800 mAh batteries that everyone raves about). I thought about getting the 3500 mAh monster extended on off eBay but, as I'm still trying to locate that Trident Cyclops case (which you just sent me 2 PMs about, thanks), I figure having 2 batteries instead of one would still be a more efficient solution while still being able to keep the Captivate in a nice protective case.
Maybe I need to do some guides for people and put up a donate button to get me some batteries and that case, who knows.
Glad the instructions proved useful.

Bottom of the list, and apparently a new nightly was just posted a short time ago (20120412) so... time for a backup and a flash to see what's changed.
And also remember to get the latest Gapps from that site as well when flashing CM (which is 20120317)

[Q] Serious question/ need help

Hello fellow SGS4G owners, i have been trying to root/flash my phone for about 3 days now...with no luck of course...i was trying something new today and i think i may have bricked my phone...looking for verifications or answers...when i power up the phone the only thing that comes up is a phone icon...3 yellow dots...yellow triangle...3 yellow dots...and a computer...
has anyone ever seen this before and if so, is it fixable or is it dead.???
That's happened to me before. I treated it as an alternative to the download mode screen. It worked just fine.
ok so i should just keep doing what i was doing...?
Use the guide in the second link of my signature then when finished look at the guide in the first link of my signature.
ok thank you to both of you...you have help me out in a big way...apparently i just need to flash a modem to get it working again...i will use your guide for dummies ( since i feel like one...hahaha ) and post any further progress...
once again thank you, both of you
Lumin30, when updating kies it is showing as an unregistered device and is not allowing me to update kies...any suggestions?
Flash a modem?
A modem is not going to help you recover your phone. Bhundven's Heimdall One-Click will recover your phone. I do not mention modems in either of my guides so you have me confused.
i know, i was using Juls317's step by step flashing a kernal and modem...
apparently im running kj6 now...but still on froyo and not gb

Just be sure to backup everything beforehand.

[Q] Infuse 4G stuck in recovery

Hey everyone,
I have a rooted Infuse that I've gotten stuck in recovery mode and I'm looking for some help! I have flashed several different ROMs over the last year but made a mistake last week by trying to take a short cut... Ya I know, noobie move. I had installed a rom and set up my phone but forgot to instal BLNTouchwake (it was compatible with the ROM) so I booted into recover any tried to install BLN without factory reseting and doing everything all over again. It messed up my phone a bit but I was able to flash a ROM onto it again and it worked until today. I tried to flash Carbon Rom 1.7 and it will no longer load a ROM. I am getting error status 0 and can't successfully flash a ROM anymore. I read a little bit about error 0 and that it's caused by a script error but that's starting to go beyond my technical knowledge and I have no idea how to correct that.
If someone could please give me some steps to try to get my phone up and running again that would be awesome!
Thanks,
Wardo

post #3 - just the kernel flash may be enough to get you back on cm10 track..if not start over from gb
need to know how to use heimdall..if you don't read the heimdall thread...just make sure to read all of it...some due diligence is needed
if you're not comfy with heimdall...use odin - i can't offer much help there
Thank you! I have been looking through threads all day trying to get this right. I have a Rogers infuse so I believe that I need the UXKG3 kernel but I have not found a single link that is still working to download them. Will the UCLB kernel work for my phone or will that create the rainbow effect on my screen?
