Im really new to rooting phones && this ODIN stuff. I want to get the Glorious Overdose rom but I need KJ2. I downloaded the [ROM][ODIN] T839UVKJ2 (Sidekick 4G) Firmware [13.10.11] but it got my phone stuck in the logo screen loop. I really want the rom , can anyone help ?!
bump..
This is my first post - but have spent the past few weeks searching through the depths of xda. I know the rules, and am rather turned off that questions get immediately shot down.
I'm not new to this but am no expert either. My phone is soft bricked, though not the first time and been able to get myself out of it a few times. However I am not stuck, trying in ODIN, but either am not receiving the proper files to download on this on other forums, or something is not working.
I've had a ton of questions but tried to trouble shoot, since it appears most on here either get ignored (hence above) or receive a weeks worth of "WHY are you asking questions dumbass?!" responses without help.
Though there are alot of you that have been tremendous help, through reading your responses to those have similar questions.
Anyway - bump this subject - Ive downloaded multiple zips and files relating to what my sk4g needs to odin properly, however none have worked. some have made it through odin, but reek havoc on the phone and still will not boot.
does anyone have the modern rar and mc5 files i need to odin flash my sk4g. ultimately im looking to flash glorious overdose and soo close, only to end up sooooo far behind with bricks.
any help or file links would be great
Hey guys. I know how you feel on the no answering of the posts. I got a lot of that when I first started out. Don't get discouraged though. I think both of you guys are soft bricked. Go to this site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6H-5SSE0E0, he will give you a full description w/ video on how to odin back to normal. Make sure your phone is in downloading mode (there is a vid link for that too.) I myself am tryin to find a way to get to get the update, so i can try another rom. Hope this helps, don't get discouraged!
the link is not working i am trying to do this too! damn government.... does anybody have a good working link?
this is only to get back from a soft brick. as far as trying to switch over to kj1 im not too sure. been tryin to find a link or post about it. the link works fine for me.

ok guys. odin your phones using the link earlier. when that is done, you will be back to stock. after that go to http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2452. this is tmobiles site which will give you the samsung klies app, which will then update(when directions are followed) and you will have kj2 operating system. from there you root your phone, and can put on your new rom. search the internet guys. i bounced around 3 different sites and found the answer in about 10 minutes. seek and you shall find...
Just to update. I did try and it did not work. trying to find a fix guys.
---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------
Just to let you guys know i tried the Heimdall file and it worked fine. Had to try about 5 times but it worked. Phone wiped to original state and now doing the klies upgrade for the phone. will be flashing glorious overdose in a second.
This thread seems to be developing pretty nicely..
I need help with my bric.. I mean Sidekick.
Soft-bricked it trying to flash Smooth Maximus I believe..
I can get it into download mode but I need mirrors.
does anyone have the KD1 or KG2 stock .tars? If so, a mirror would be VERY helpful to quite a few people now.. =\
EDIT: I found a firmware claiming to be newer than the 2 mentioned above. It is labeled "KH1" instead of either KD1 or KG2.
http://hotfile.com/dl/145788939/08a9a06/SGH-T839_T839UVKH1_TMB.zip.htm
That is the address to it, I just downloaded it so I can confirm it is a working link.
You will need the password to open the file, and to get it, sign up on samfirmware.com (free), and look for the password for files containing the symbol "##".
It should be in place of the KD1OdinSTOCK.tar, or the KG2OdinSTOCK.tar, along with the .pit being sk4g.pit.
Any questions or comments, (I'm not an expert by any chance at all) Ask me and I'll try my hardest to answer.
Is KH1 a beta because my sidekick doesn't detect it as an update?
I497UCBMF2 AT&T 4.1.2 Firmware (Rooted)
For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SGH-I497 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the AT&T model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the AT&T firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official AT&T 4.1.2 firmware.
Details:
I497UCBMF2 Stock w/ Root Pre-Installed (NO MODEM INCLUDED AS I DON'T HAVE THIS. IF YOU HAVE STOCK 4.1.2 INSTALLED WITH THE MF2 MODEM, PLEASE SEND ME THE MODEM AND I'LL ADD IT TO THE ODIN PACKAGE)
Package Includes: SBL2, SBL3, ABOOT, RPM, TZ, BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM AND CACHE ZONES
Download:
I497UCBMF2 AT&T 4.1.2 Firmware (Rooted)
Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com
How To Flash:
BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.
Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site.
RESERVED...
If you have downloaded and flashed, please report back your results...
17 Downloads and no reports?
Not work,pls fix it,my screenshot
Stuck on download mode
Try to flash it again. I tested it a few times and it's been downloaded over 30 times with no negative reports. If it is still problematic for you, I'll upload a cache free version...
Mine is still pretty clean, which block do you need.
Do you have MF2 stock modem?
What are peoples experiences with this? Did they lose their modem?
You won't lose your modem, it just doesn't include the MF2 modem as I can't locate one is all. Also, there have been 66 downloads and no reports so I imagine all is well. I strongly believe the person above with poor English did something incorrect when installing due to that many downloads with no ill reports. I do wish someone would just flash and report afterwards though!
I just received this response from user "dobermanchik"...
"Hi,
I cannot post into the developers board so I am reduced to using this private message system. I'd like to thank you for that firmware. It works great for me and I have no issues so far. I was able to unlock additional languages and overall the system is stable and bugless. Thanks again."
ill give it flash and let you know
cr*p i just soft bricked my tablet by trying to change the font hope this works will report back after i flash.

ATT Samsung SGH 1497 Tablet unlock bootloader
Hi,
I appreciate your work on this device. You have noticed like me that little is out there for this device. You have provided some nice workarounds to update this tablet, however, I cannot find anywhere, a way to unlock to boot loader. I have carrier unlock from ATT, and cannot seem to fins a way to root this tablet.
You seem to have already accomplished this and I wanted to ask for your help to unlock my Samsung SGH 1497 ATT Tablet.
If you could help, I will rave about you on XDA!
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mark (hammeru)
brought my sgh 1497 back from the dead.
I successfully used your posted firmware to revive my 10.1 samsung!
thanks.

It's posted right below the download link?
It worked for me, but I wish it had TWRP on it. I ended up installing that separately.
installing the firmware takes a long time. be patient. all ok.
Hi guys, Just got my mate 7 and love it BUT, I'm on Vodafone Australia and they are having issues with updates. I'm stuck on 127SP02 with no available updates. I have downloaded both firmware updates from Huawei but when reading the attached doc, it says something about the update file and a vendor file. Obviously I have no vendor file so will i do any damage by running the firmware upgrade on its own? Will do the 4.2.2 update , then the lollipop one.
Thanks
ok, I tried to run the update to B148 which apparently should be fine with my B127. However, it fails to complete the install. Any help greatly appreciated.
software starts to install then says:
software install failed!
Also tried to update to B137 first, this also fails to install. Any advice greatly appreciated guys and gals as I appear to be stuck with B127 otherwise.
Thanks
I upgraded from B145>B148 and now can't root, or flash downgrade. Was rooted on B137 adn B145 with B145 being smoothest as far as KK goes. Not thinking to go LP since there's so many complaints about features missing certain functions or being completely removed; and anyways...it won't upgrade LP.
As far as B148 is, I'm stuck on stock. No root available witing KingRoot, Kingo, Vroot...if I find a solution, I'll be sure to pass it along.
I've actually been able to flash back to 145, but I was also able to upgrade to LP, I'm trying the latest 5.1.1 B327 for now and it's actually been quite good so far.
It seems you need to go 137SP02 first and then move up sequentially... have a look at the link below; it shows the available firmwares in upgrades with ota in sequence.
Just make sure the C**B** is the same as what you're on now (eg., C00B127SP02>C00B137SP02>and so on), don't be on C00 and flash C900 without properly sequencing your upgrades or you might soft-brick and boot loop.

brother i am on c00b148 and i am so confused to which firware i should update , i bought my phone from turkey and it has tr code
thanks in advance
I just bought the LYF Wind 1 Smartphone and couldn't find a proper way to root it, so I made up my weird way, which works perfectly fine and I'm sharing it with you guys..
Steps :-
Download Wind1Root.zip (mod edit: Please use the blue download button and not the green one.)
Extract it
Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone
Run unlock.bat
Enable USB Debugging again after reset
Run root.bat
UPDATE - Recovery replaced. Touch works now. Using Redmi 2 Recovery.
For any help, watch this video
or read the noob friendly guide at - http://www.ugeeky.com/how-to-root-lyf-wind-1/
i have unlocked bootloader.....and when i execute root.bat my lyf wind 1 shows twrp but in cmd it shows no device error....i have installed fastboot and adb
If anybody know how to replace Kinguser with SuperSU...
I tried installing Supersu-me and Superuser from playstore but none worked.
Supersu doesnt open. It stucks giving a black screen.
Its happening in my LYF wind 4.
If any custom recovery working, please do reply.
This worked well on my Lyf Wind 1 well. Not it is rooted with SU, But when i boot into recovery mode the TWRP has a bug and it shows only a blur screen after swipe to unlock. I need to power of and on again...
Bro can you please provide a root method for LYF flame 1 ? It will help me a lot !!
Need stock ROM and flasher for my Wind 1

That thing is working on that build number, I can personally confirm that, and as far as I know, it doesn't depend on that either. Check that fastboot is working properly

Which phone's recovery did you use? I want to port the rom for wind 1
@ Akash : Thanks for your input. Would you kind enough to post a link to fastboot , as ugeeky hosting sever is down. and I dont think the fastboot that I have is working properly. My Laptop is running Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.14393 64 bit . I hope it is not a problem .
Thanks again.
this is not working when i start root.bat it stucks up with a blur black screen and nothing happens I had to power off the device and power it back on. but the root did not happen, pls inform me what is the problem.
LeHarkunwar, A Big Thank You for coming up with the Root !! Have got rid of a lot of crap ware and unwanted stuff.
However, the points raised by "Java Baba" and "davinashgandi" deserve some attention. There has to be a tutorial/instructions for flashing stock firmware and stock recovery in the event that things go a little awry. A link to stock firmware and stock recovery with instructions for flashing the same is necessary and would decorate this wonderful work of yours.
Secondly, the twrp recovery is not at all functional when booted into. In such a case, applying incremental updates ( This Morning there is a new 37 MB update available) can soft brick the device.
The Wind 1 community will really appreciate if you can do something about this.
Again, Many Thanks for your superb work !!!

Stock firmware is not modified by this method, and there's no way to backup the stock recovery until we get the factory firmware, for installing any zips to the system, you can always replace the update.zip with the file you want to flash( remember to rename the file you want to flash as update.zip) in the files folder and then run the root.bat file.
Thanks Aakash. Yes, I'm aware that this method doesn't modify stock firmware. The suggestion was made so that people with soft bricked device would be able to revert to stock firmware if anything went wrong.
As for recovery, I managed to download the stock firmware and extracted the stock recovery. I also successfully flashed the stock recovery over twrp. However, the 37 Mb update was aborted due to some mismatch. No idea how to get around this with stock recovery. Yes, it's possible over twrp like you said but I would prefer to apply it through stock recovery.
If only we had a functional custom recovery, things would be even better.
On a side note, has anybody been able to figure the rebranded model and company of Wind 1 ?
---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------
Ok. I have tried flashing the downloaded update.zip via stock recovery and twrp but no success. I guess the only option left now is via sideload method. And if i'm not wrong then i would lose root if i installed it via adb sideload.
Slightly off topic, the voice Volume of Wind 1 appears low and somewhat muffled. It's not clear and loud like its in my MOTO G. Can fellow users please confirm this. I have also tried the *#4636#* code which opens the testing menu but it's of no use. Need some application or code to access the engineering menu via which we could increase the voice volume.
Hey bro,i am same version of Android on my Lyf wind 1,n I'm glad to have a solution that you came with, I want to upgrade my mobile to marshmallow(stock version), can you please instruct me how can I do that, I'll waiting 4 ur response, thank you
I humble request to help me in rooting lyf flame 2/!,

I m using windows 10 ...and when I try to open unload.bat file my Lyf wind 1 is rebooting and show android icon and stuck at there.... And cmd show's that waiting for device .....I have to open the bettry and re connect it for start my Lyf wind 1 and ... nothing happens
please can someone give me flashing tutorial for lyf wind 1 , my set is dead , its not powering on now ,
@harshad
Please ensure that you have properly installed drivers for LYF Wind 1. To check this, enable USB-Debugging and connect your LYF Wind 1 to PC. You will also get a message on your phone regarding granting authorization to your computer. Click on Yes. If you don't click on yes then you are bound to get the device not found or device offline errors !
While flashing, i got the device not found error a couple of times and i noticed that i hadn't granted authorization to my computer for USB debugging. The authorization window had popped on my mobile and i was too busy looking at my computer screen.
Now, open Device manager on your computer. Click on Scan for Hardware changes. If the drivers are not installed properly then you will see Yellow exclamation marks against your Android phone. Please install the USB drivers for LYF Wind 1. ( Google if you don't have the drivers)
You need to have;
1) ADB and Fastboot installed as Administrator
2) USB drivers for LYF Wind 1 installed
3) Allow OEM Unlocking , enabled via developer options.
4) Enable USB debugging , enabled via developer options.
If all the above things are in order then you shouldn't have any problems rooting LYF Wind 1 with Le Harkunwar's excellent tutorial.

Try a battery pull. Take out the battery and wait for 5-10 seconds. Insert the battery and now try powering up the device.

you need to download stock rom and flash that to make your phone work again. I found this site, zeon22 has also listed a site, but i found this to be more user friendly in downloading files.

I also received the update but I'm not interested in updating since my phone is running fine just now, I don't want to loose root or brick my phone while updating which will most probably be more bloatware(few more apps from reliance jio). I will wait if marshmallow arrives for flashing stock rom if it arrives (although chances are pretty slim). Meanwhile I'm working on a port of cyanogenmod for this device form Yu Yunique, the device from which harkunwar got this twrp from, but I'm still not able to resolve touchscreen driver issue. Info on this device is really limited, and i don't know anything except that this device is from zte.
Ok so apologies, I'm sure there is a thread about this somewhere but I've searched everywhere and I can't find a definitive result.
I have a S6 running 6.0.1 build number MMB29K.G920W8VLU4CPG2.
Now I'd like to root my phone with a custom recovery, but I cant seem to find a method for this phone. I've rooted before when I had a nexus but clearly times have changed lol.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
I too have.had no such luck with rooting this phone. Im gonna remain hopeful that someone will offer advice

Yep, same boat here. No luck finding a root solution.
sofir, would you send me info as well? thanks
same boat here, any help please????
better root with CF
please note : it will trip knox counter
before you root please enaable usb debugging and oem unlock
Before anything you should have a custom recovery installed.
I suggest twrp.
DO NOT Root with CF-AutoRoot, as your EFS will get corrupted by an older Stock recovery it has in the script, this will cause your IMEI to get lost.
Just Flash lastest TWRP with Odin, Boot in Recovery, open up the Terminal in Advanced tab and type in
mount -o bind /dev/urandom /dev/random <--- notice the space between
press enter and then Flash lastest superSu zip and you're ready to go.
EDIT: Thread was old, didn't read properly. mistake.
