[ROM] Heimdall Only version of Gingerbread/KF1 with Root (ODEXed)

Okay guys - I've created a Heimdall only version of Gingerbread/KF1 for those who want to use Heimdall.
THIS WILL GIVE YOU ROOT!!!
[Edit] This is the ODEXED version. If you are looking for the DEODEXED version, I will be posting another thread regarding that one.
A few things before I begin.
Many thanks to dsexton702, DrHonk, Krylon360, penguin0609, whitehawkx, and others for their work. If I missed your names, it's not on purpose, I just have a bad memory.
This requires Heimdall. A link to Heimdall for Windows is here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip
This is a Heimdall ONLY solution. You only need to unrar the link attached (yes, I use RAR. Sorry - but it's an all in one solution that allows me to manipulate RAR, ZIP, and TAR files.) into a directory. Get WinRAR (from rarlabs) to undo the file.
When unRAR'ing it, you will see 8 files and a folder. The folder contains the zimage_patch that is required to root the SGS4G.
This is a modification of what dsexton702 did. Steps are as follows:
1) Download the Heimdall suite file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/az3ia99by9rgcdf/heimdall-suite-1.1.1-win32.zip
Install Heimdall, including the drivers. Read the instructions included.
If you have Heimdall 1.1.1 installed already, skip step 1 and go to step 2
2) Download the ROM file here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d920rdcm2mt20ie
3) Unzip the ROM file to a directory.
4) Open Heimdall
5) Match the filename to the PDA/Code location. In other words:
FactoryFS = factoryfs.rfs
Kernel = zimage
Param.lfs = param.lfs
Primary Bootloader = boot.bin
Secondary Bootloader = sbl.bin
cache = cache.rfs
Database = data.rfs
Modem = modem.bin
6) Put your SGS4G into download mode. Click Start. Wait until the green bar goes all the way across and it's done.
7) Reboot to Download mode again
8) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse zImage to the directory "zimage_patch". Choose the zImage file there. Click Start.
9) Let the SGS4G go through the Fugu bootloop a couple of times. This is where your SGS4G gets Rooted.
10) Reboot to download mode once more
11) Close and re-open Heimdall. Click and browse the ORIGINAL zImage (NOT THE ZIMAGE_PATCH VERSION!!). Click start.
12) Let the unit flash, then reboot. Download busybox to verify Root.
I've done this a few times with my SGS4G. It works for mine, but I need a couple of guinea pigs to verify it.
Let me know!

Plain KF1 gingerbread correct? No root or deodex implemented?
Figured it would be stated but just double checking.
Thanks as well!

Oops. I forgot to mention Root.
This will give you root. No deodex. Haven't gotten there yet nor will I have a chance to even try - I have a family reunion and other events this weekend, so I wanted to get the Heimdall only version out there.
I'll update the original post.

Never used Heimdall yet.
Will this do a data wipe of my device or will I retain all of my programs and program data if I do this?

This will wipe everything. If you use Titanium Backup, you will be able to do an app restore.

works great with no problems also root checker verify

Can't get back to download mode
I went to install the Zimage patch, but now I am unable to get back into download mode, so I can't install it. Am I missing a step or something?

Nope. You MAY have to do the alternate download mode "method", which involves volume down, home, power, then insert battery.

Thanks. I did the steps above, but now, it just goes to the bootscreen and goes back to charging the phone. Very frustrating.

Nevermind. I tried it again and I'm good! Thanks!!

Netflix
If this helps any guys, The Netflix app is OFFICIALLY working with this rom!!!!!!! Spread the word!

OT, but I cant get the netflix app to work. It installs, but says streaming is not available on my device. Is it still working? What version are you using? Do you have a link?
This rom works great. Lots of issues - particularly videos - with the deodexed version. THANK YOU!
Blade

Hey I followed all the steps above but I am stuck in the fugumod reboot thing..unless its supposed to be rebooting 40+ times

After Fugu mod bootloop, you reflash the original zImage back.

yea i figured it out...i was just having a hard time getting in to download mode again for some reason...worked perfectly!

Thx very much
This Rom has fix the null/null Imei problem and can't catch the signal that always happen to me.

[Q]Is there a way to get out of fastboot?

Sorry if the question isnt clear, here is my delemma
So My N5 I had deleted the system partition (or folder) and I no longer had a rom, now my problem is that I cannot get a new rom installed.
I have TWRP as my recovery but no roms.
I also cant do adb sideboot, It always says: Error: Device not found
What Can I do about this?
Does adb Sideboot need usb debugging enabled?
Thanks!

Sounds like you may have to install the drivers for adb on your computer

Why not just flash the factory images from fastboot?

So I tried to using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509428 one of mthe multi tools, and it seems to go through and it stays boot looping in the boot animation.
hrmm.... very weird
EDIT: Ok I was able to flash stock via the direct google link, Now a question about adb sideload, How does that function? Do I have to have usb debugging enabled?

1. Go here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Download the Nexus 5 Android 4.4 (KRT16M) image.
3. Unzip.
4. Run the .bat file while in fastboot.
That's it. It's going to wipe everything but atleast it will work.

Windows batch file = .bat file. If you're going to screw with your phone, at the very least you should probably make sure explorer shows all file extensions...

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin

[TUT]Extract kernel "zimage" From boot.img and Convert to .tar and Flash using Odin
[Extremely Noob GUIDE]Since there is no explained and easy Guide to Extract Kernel [zimage] and Ramdisk [Ramdisk] from Boot.img, Then Convert it to zimage.tar and Flash it using Odin
Well here it is step by step:
Note: This Method is used to Extract Kernels form Stock Rom's Boot.img
First you need to install Python, which is round about 17MBs software freely available on python website.
Step 1:Download the attached Python script named "split_boot_img" from attachments down Below, Extract it and copy to the folder created in Step 2.
Step 2:Create a folder with any name you like. I recommend "boot.img extraction".
Step 3: Copy the boot.img, you want to extract, to the folder you created in Step 2.
Step 4: Run the script named "split_boot_img"by double-clicking and see the magic.
Congratulations!!! Here you go. the "zimage" and "ramdisk" files are extracted.
Now the Conversion Part:
Step 1: Download this IZARC software and install it from Here:http://www.izarc.org/download.html
Step 2: Open the folder created in First-Step 2.
Step 3: Right Click the ziamge File Extracted from boot.img. as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 4: Select add to archive file from IzArc right click options as in Image 1 in attachments.
Step 5: Now scroll the Archiving type to ".tar" as in Image 2 in attachments.
Step 6: Click the Add button as in Image 3 in attachments.
Last Step: Now flash the "zimage" file created in Step 6 Using Odin.

Maybe he should have put in that you need to use Python 2.7.9 not 3.x ... Had the same problem.
All steps worked after, but didn't flash it yet, I'll do it today or tomorrow.
Also you should mention IZArc is full of crapware, it open one install and even if I chose to not install stuff, it installed iStart and Search Enginer extensions to my browsers. After, surprise, another install showed up to actually install IZArc ... not I need to de-crap my system

Did the kernel.img actually work for you? I tried this same process as well. It took me 4 hours to clean all the maleware from my laptop. I mad the .Tar file and tried to flash it. it failed completely. I think this OP needs to be removed. More than likely the OP is getting paid for all the downloads he is tricking people into.

No, it failed also. Yes, it should be removed.
Ended up using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269 but for a strage reason Odin would not like it when I moved the .tar archive from a folder to an other from that method (I keep my pc organized), had to create the tar, flash it from that folder, then... deleted it because after I couldn't use it anymore.

Flashing any modified boot / kernel / recovery trips Knox, doesn't matter what method you use. Sometimes even stock trips Knox as some users said.
What i did was take a stock rom from SamMobile that was 'hackable' through TowelRoot, extracted the kernel with WinRar, made the kernel flashable in Odin using that tool, flashed it via Odin, rooted device with TR, then used same steps to download,extract,make kernel bootable to restore my original kernel. Knox stayed 0x0 on i9195.
You can try reading about Heimdall. Supose you can flash without Odin and without converting. It would make your life easier, but for me it didn't work (didn't start on Win 64bit, i think i needed another MS visual c++ , a dependency of Heimdall).
ps.: the tool to create flashable archives would't work for me just by double-clicking, so I had to open an command prompt - CMD with admin rights, go to the directory where i had the tool and type ImgToTar.MD5.bat . Just put everything in C:\tool including recovery.img / boot.img or kernel.img then go start-> type in search box CMD -> right-click on the result and Run as admin -> in the black box type the next text followed by Enter key:
cd /
cd tool
ImgToTar.MD5.bat

I hope it works, i need it for the same reason of you, flashing an older kernel to root with towelroot keeping knox 0x0 at the end of this process

6th - select the two files "svb_orange.jpg" and "booting_warning.jpg" keeping your finger pressed on "ctrl"
7th - press the "red x" delete icon in the top bar to delete them
8th - close that window, and in windows explorer right click the "up_param.bin" inside the "up_param.bin" folder and select add to archive using 7zip standard

10th - open odin, clicking "ok" to dismiss the warning, the press "bl" and navigate to "up_param.tar" inside the "up_param.bin" folder
done......
thanks to
juda iskariotsky for making it common knowledge
Kangi26 for patched odin​

Do you recommend to keep the created up_param.tar to be used after each update?

i would like to say yes, but its possible samsung changes something and flashing the up_param conflicts with a change they make and causes an error, its unlikely, but never say never

Well detailed Guide, Thanks!
Wish there was something for Snapdragon users.

Nice

Does it work in snapdragon? Is it risky to test? Don't want to reflash and go through all the hassle of getting the phone exactly as it is now, since we don't have TWRP backups yet...

i wouldnt flash the file, but if you follow the guide, you can look in your directories for the same/similar files, its untested on sd variant

Exynos has the param bin file, Snapdragon possibly has it somewhere else.
Firmware code is S908E.. Give it a try, and its lovely if you succeed !
Cheers!

Yes sure. You are the person that can make it possible. Good luck.

I was going to post my print, but mrjoy posted before. Digging around, it seems that this is not possible for snapdragons, at least for previous devices. It seems that the boot file is mounted during the boot and images are loaded, there is no way to extract and replace the images there without Samsung's signature.
I'm just writting what I found in other threads, though.
If you want to dig, it seems it is part of abl.elf file. See if you can get this to work.
Maybe if we could do that by another mean?

Any updates for S908E?

I wish for the same too. Guess no luck so far

I have followed your steps but it failed with my S22 Ultra Exynos :-(
Could it be because of "Universal Samsung PARAM Changer" Magisk's module?
Or "WETAmod" Magisk's module?

then there is no way to remove the bootloader warning in the snap version
