SINCE APPARENTLY I WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH, IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES AND ARE ON THE CARRIER VERIZON, USING A GALAXY S FASCINATE I500 DO NOT INSTALL THIS. YOU WILL REGRET IT. END OF DISCUSSION.
I think this is pretty straightforward, thanks to a lovely line dropped to me, we have a leak on our hands It's already running on a few phones at this point it seems, and sounds like a fairly stable release! Currently working on rooting the ***** but it should take me long Energy drink and a couple hours to go.

ROOT INSTRUCTIONS!
Once you have the 2.2 leak installed (It'll probably take a few tries in odin. If odin does NOT recognize the phone, try a different USB cable/port, my old milestone cable didn't work, my actual samsung one did) install the Cyanogen initial kernel from my other rom port using odin (AND the included pit file, natch) and THEN install the update.zip included (Same one as before! yay )
SU works, busybox is included, root is perfect.
God I love friday nights.
Enjoy.
adb push rage.bin and all that good stuff.

Well you guys are on gsm, right? That's probably why you guys got it first. I don't really mind the wait peraonally, and all these leaks make me hopeful. But I wonder why the Telus version is even called Fascinate if it's so different from the other ones.

Actually, I was trying to inject a little humor.
I can seriously empathize with having a ****ty upgrade path and no carrier support
(I owned a milestone, Droid with an e-fuse, also, a motorola product. )
2.2 first try!!!
Thank you so much OMEGA!!!
Odin is a breeze to use...I don't know why I was so afraid. Downloaded as per your link, then extracted, and placed the .pit, rom and CSC files in the right spot, put the phone into download mode, hit 'start' et viola! 2.2!!!
Now on to root...i'm guessing the kernel goes where the rom should go and the pit file goes exactly where is says...
Then boot into recovery apply: update.zip???
So here's where i'm at so far:
2.2 with ODIN = YES!
Changed kernel (and pit) to cyangen from stock 2.2 with ODIN = YES!
ROOT = NO!
I'm trying to root the phone, but I have some questions if you don't mind OMEGA...
- When I boot into recovery mode, it takes me straight to clockwork recovery...I can't get into standard recovery.
- Fine, i placed the .zip from the OP in this thread in the root of the SD card and renamed it to "update.zip" (Don't worry, i made sure it's not update.zip.zip b
- I choose install .zip from sd card (choose.zip) and it does not work, just hangs
- I also tried apply sdcard:update.zip I get an error message E:can't mount SDCARD:update.zip installation aborted.
Can you help??
Edit: Never mind, problem fixed, thanks!! But one more noob question: Can I install the root .zip just from stock 2.2 or do I need the cyanogen installed first?
I'm not rooted yet. still stock 2.2; I went back to the stock telus rom, reflashed it over the cyangen kernel, as I couldn't get root and wasnt crazy about the home button acting like back..but i digress....
Can you install apk's with andexplorer or any file brower? I tried to install genie widget and HTC_IME keyboard and they both keep FC'ing.. Place the apk in the sd card and choose 'install'.
I want to get root so I can remove some bloat and install apk's with root explorer but will patiently wait for OMEGA to chime in..
Thanks!

Alright, I'll be brief with this...
Have stock Vibrant, OTA killed it, tried master reset, no help, tried Odin, FAILS on factoryfs.rfs, tried 4 other downloads of Odin stock rom, same problem. No SD card, no sim, nothing but phone, battery and usb.
Won't boot, won't turn on, just maybe the backlight turns on to no screen. Figured out how to get it into download mode still, but thats the only thing that I can do.
Now, is there a different ROM that I could use thats had more success? Am I doing something simple wrong? Forgetting something? Is there any help out there for this? Or is my phone just screwed?
Someone said removing the battery for about 1 or 2 minutes works
Did you try to odin the origonal stock firmware first?
Proudly pumped from my vibrating vibrant using the ubiquitous XDA App
It's been out for about 2 hours, so I'll give it a try like that....
No dice =/
Oh, didn't mention earlier, also tried the download with and without the battery, still fails at the same point.

1.3 wouldn't work or recognize my phone at all, just using v1.00 that everybody else has been saying to use for it. I'll hunt down 1.3 right now and give that a shot.
Same thing... I'll try eugenes as soon as I get home and on a good connection. Would you be able to post a quick link to the thread with the one that didn't brick for you? Thanks (^_^)
Stick a incense stick beside it, and pray for miracle.
question, did you drop in water before? friend beside me is talking about taking it apart and putting it back together might work. we both fix computers hardware and software debuging.
problems like this, might also be hardware faultyness...just hope it is not that issue...

I've downloaded from 5 different sources (at least) the stock 2.1 update 1 that's going around and seems to be working for everybody. I can't find any other rom that I can use with Odin, and I can't get into recovery to try adb (even though when I could, it wouldn't let me overwrite files on the phone)
Is there any other program I could use that utilizes download mode and standard dumps that are posted all over the place? Or is there a way to take those dumps and use them with Odin?
My wife's phone bricked on the OTA
I used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
What seems different is the first flash (PART 1) with Original.tar I click repartition. That worked fine. Then in part two I didn't click repartition (as stated).
The download in the thread should have it all - including odin.

Long story short, a friend of mine tried to root his Samsung Vibrant while drunk and failed. Well he managed to try and fix it with Odin and somehow managed to install some AT&T software on it. Problem is, now it's stuck in an infinite black loop unless you hold Vol Down+Home+Power. It then comes to a black screen displaying red numbers. I've tried to fix it with Odin v3 but I never gets past the first step. I'm accepting all help and advice.
Confused on how people can screw up rooting this phone. It is literally just one click to root it. What process did you guys use?

Your buddy used the one-click odin for the captivate. I've helped a friend restore his captivate with that, its nice, but model specific for sure. Your only hope is that the bootloader of the captivate rom allows you to somehow boot the vibrant to dl mode. The following method works on my vibrant and my friends captivate.
Phone off, battery sim and sd cards out, have odin loaded with the pit and tar files for the vibrant.
Plug in usb from pc to phone.
Holding down both volume up and down only, and insert the battery.
This will hopefully get you into download mode, and you can flash the correct rom with the right odin, not the one click.
Hope this helps. This boot method works on both phones to get dl mode. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

I would try using the froyo that does not brick method. That has got me out of some tough spots. Also use newest version of odin and a 32 bit operating system. Never really bricked if you can get into dl mode
And if it fails keep trying, odin is finicky.

I'm pretty sure it's a Captivate, and NOT a Vibrant. So, stop throwing Vibrant specific fixes at the phone.
So the ROMs that are available are Different. On that note, I have zero useful specifics to share. Sorry, but Good Luck.

Try it again. Close odin, disconnect phone and pull battery. Odin can be tempermental. Reopen odin, reload the files, boot phone to dl mode, and try to hit the start button in odin within about 20 seconds of the com port being recognized. Try to select repartition in this case, so odin knows to set the partitions. If all else fails, search for and use the froyo that doesn't brick method mentioned earlier. If you can boot to dl mode, there is still hope.

Hey all. There's a lot knowledgeable folks around here, so I thought I'd see if I can get some help on my problem.
I've got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510, non-branded, UEKME), that I rooted about two months ago, using the instructions found on the Android Forums (can't post a link, but ti's the basic easy way to root, using Odin3). Not a superuser, but wanted to be able to back up everything. Seemed easy enough and the rooting went fine.
Haven't done anything else to it, aside from installing a few run of the mill apps. It did auto-update a couple of times.
Was working fine, now it just got stuck on this screen with a message:
Code:
ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2.1)
Reason: No Kernal
Secure Mode: Secure
Check Signature: Check
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
Waitting USB Cable...
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Apparently, it went to this screen while I was away. I didn't see it until I picked it up and there it was. It comes to this screen after the Samsung title screen (not the animation) and a VERY quick screen with some red writing (goes by too fast to see what it says).
I tried to follow the original instructions again. Put the tab in download mode (power + volume down), open Odin3, select the md5, and hit start. Get a FAIL with this message:
Code:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

The screen on the tab updates with this:
Code:
WritePArtition: Error to NvStorMgrFileWrite![err:0x30000]
DownloadPartition_odin: Error to WritePartition![err:0x30000]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0x30000]
That's as far as I've gotten. I noticed the Re-Partition option is not checked in Odin3, and the errors on the tab have to do with partitions... but didn't want to do that if I could eff it up even more.
I'm also wondering if one of the auto-updates didn't muck up the works. Maybe messed with my bootloader? Again, didn't want to go doing dangerous things without some reassurance. Also, I can't get into recovery mode; it just kinda flashes when I hit the button and stays on the option screen for download/recovery.
Any direction on how to proceed?
Any advice would be so great. It's been like this for about a week and I can't find any help. Thanks everyone.
TL;DR: Stuck in Download Mode, get errors on re-root.
This helped me and I've seen it help many others too in similar situations. Since you're stuck in download mode already it might need to be adjusted and followed from somewhere other than the beginning.
Goto http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Towards the bottom of the guide There is a section called Restocking yer system.
Follow that on down.
Make sure you use the files for you device (7500 or 7510).
Make sure you triple check that you follow everything as suggested. The most common one I see missed is the last step of doing a Wipe data/factory reset.
Let us know how it goes, as this keeps us trying to help when we know we're successful.

You have an incomplete bootsector the bootloader is broken but ofcourse your recovery is safe. Just flash a stock firmware on top of it, or flash CWM. You don't have to worry about the options being checked as Odin 1.83 onwards fixes this issue.
Well, I was really hopeful when I read your response and read through the guide, but alas, I still got the FAIL when running Odin.
Aside from the rom, what else is there? I know of bootloaders, but not their function or how they work, and undersstand that loading the incorrect one (or incorrectly) can really make my tab a brick.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far, maybe we can get this thing working. It's a shame - I've only had it for a couple of months...
Is there any other way to flash my firmware and/or repair my bootsector/bootloader?
Thanks for your help.

If you followed what I posted, and triple checked every step and check box in the guide was exactly what you did, then I'm lost for other suggestions. Misledz is on a different time than here, so you can either try my process again, if that's what you used, making sure you do evrything as said in the restocking yer system guide on down or wait for more help.
Yeah, I was hoping because it was a really well written guide with links to the correct files right there that I'd have some luck. The directions are pretty straightforward, so I don't think I missed anything, but I can certainly try again.
Thanks, I'll update in a bit.
I think I'm going to have to wait to see if Misledz has any other suggestions - I just tried it again and got the same fail.

Sorry that sucks.
Hope Misledz or someone comes along for you.
Best of luck.
Edit: Looking at the Odin repartition error makes me think it may be a full hardware failure issue. But there is still hope with the right files or method for it to be fixed.
I can't find it, but there was another thread here with the same "Reason: No Kernal" error and I think it turned out to be a hardware failure.
Sorry well yeah I've been on offset timezone's and I tend to check this section regularly as I hope to learn more about the tablet In hopes I can get some development done on it.
In the sense I'll assure you that you can't really brick the tablet as they are somewhat hard to brick via software, unless you install a firmware that isn't compatible (Like a 7500 on a 7510) or like wipe the bootloader. Put it this way anything done in download mode is safe.
Now to your query. It can't be a hardware issue because as you can see the tablet itself boots perfectly to Odin.
I would suggest skipping the v4 of CWM and flash the v5
[http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv]
and
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15
Normally errors like this occur only because of cases like ramdisk being different. One is the 5.1 and the other is the 5.5 version, I suggest it's best to try both. I feel you will have better luck testing both. No worries they are both safe and the 4.0.4 has some issues as far as some tablet's are concerned.

I notice the second file is in a p7500 directory. I'm guessing this is an all-encompassing directory with p7500 and 7510 files?
EDIT: I see that the file is for all versions (75xx). Thanks.
I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home and give an update.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
*fingers crossed*
Dammit. No luck.
Did you already tried flashing with a pit file?
Flash with pit will rebuild your partitions.
When loading pit file repartition will automaticaly be select.
Do not repartion without pit file or your device will become abrick.
After flash with pit file you will see a lot of errors this is normal
And will be fixed after factory reset.
Good luck.

I've used the pit file and tar file from the guide that Benzoman directed me to. I also tried using the updated CWMs that were suggested (although a pit file wasn't included).
I had installed the windows drivers a while back, but just installed the Kies. Interestingly, after that, I tried flashing again and, although it still failed, it took a lot longer (as opposed to almost instantly). Almost thought I had it for a second...
Am I right in thinking that I can use the pit file from the guide and the tar file from CWM together?
Slightly off-topic; what's the purpose of flashing a bootloader? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.
Thank you for your continued help. I would have lost all hope by now if it weren't for you and this forum.
So is it all good? I don't tend to like leaving people who need help Especially when it's also educational for me.
Flashing a bootloader wouldn't be advisable cause it may really brick the tab.
You don't really need to pit file as it is used for repartioning, flashing just the PDA is good enough

No, it's still stuck. It seems like any pit file I try doesn't work, which was why I was asking about the bootloaders (I know it's dangerous, but for all intents and purposes, it's already bricked).
I don't know what else to do; I was hoping the updated CWM would help, but it runs into the same problem the other pda files have. I'd be more than happy to try any other suggestions you may have.
Thanks again.
I don't know if it's any help, but I was able to capture the really quick flash of red text as it boots. See attachment.

Sorry over my head, but hopefully Someone will look at the error and know what's going on.

I've got a stock SGH-i717D here.
I'm struggling with the one-click-odin install. (It goes red with "FAIL!").
I'm wondering if anyone has it working on a Telus-purchased phone, before hacking at it a lot longer.
TIA

Same here on Rogers Note, since morning, tried downloading files by different browser here and there,
it gets fails, or stucks in setupconnection on odin.
Have you tried the CWM flashable .zip in the dev section?
I've just finished downloading it but have not tried to flash it just yet
OFFTOPIC:
Since you have a stock telus rom, would you be able to help and upload you system.img after flashing clockworkmod recovery? I need to return my note for a new one and need the bootup animation. I've almost got mine completely stock, except I have the regular old android logo bootup animation
Interesting.
Mine gets past SetupConnection but then fails with

I'm happy to help if I have precise instructions - I don't have a lot of time to hack at this thing right now... would be tomorrow.
all rogers/telus/bell users should use the CWM version of the ICS leak from DagR8 this version will work on our galaxy note.....
the odin version doesn't work.....

The ics roms technically "work" with the Canadian variant. ..but mine has never been able to keep signal well at all. That with com.android.phone crashing every boot. I'm with bell and wish it was viable , but I would only get 20% signal up time

This is off topic but do you guys get stutter on youtube videos on the youtube app when viewing video fullscreen on landscape mode? Bought my note from telus last week but youtube app is giving me issues. Sorry for off topic.

I apologize in advance for my noobness
I have a few questions:
1. Could you link me to the ICS ROM I need?
2. If I need to restore to my original ROM for some reason how would I go about doing that?
3. Is the ICS for my phone working well?
I have tried to look around a bit to figure this out, and while I think I might know which one to use, I want to be 100% sure.
I appreciate whatever help can be given.
Thanks.

I have a download available of all the stock files from a Telus Note http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577311
I haven't packaged it into a rom because I don't know how, if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to do that it would be appreciated. About the only thing really stopping me from doing it is figuring out how to convert a system dump to a system.efs.img or whatever the heck it needs to be.
Greetings.
I know this forum can get quite annoyed with posts being repeated and the same question being asked many times over.
I would just like to say that I have searched this forum for the problem I have, however either the posts are beyond my knowledge or not directly related to my issues. If I have missed something please let me know.
First things first. My phone.
I have an International Samsung Galaxy S3
It is running Stock JellyBean 4.1.1 (O2 UK)
It has been rooted with Odin. (I only rooted because I wanted to use Titanium Backup). It has been rooted successfully for about 3 weeks.
I wish I could give the exact firmware and other figures but I can't access them on my phone.
The Problem
Today whilst working at my desk I decide to check my phone but when I look at it there is a message being displayed that states "Encryption Failed". There is some text saying that I need to factory reset my phone and then, below that is a reset button. I press the reset button, the phone reboots to exactly the same screen. I press it again... And again... And again.
Now it boots into CWM-based recovery. Figuring I don't want to screw this phone up further without finding out what the problem is, i restart the phone again. Now the phone just boots into the Samsung logo and then reboots and so the cycle continues.
I have no idea how this happened, it was so random and unexpected.
What should I do?
The good points
I can still get into CWM-Recovery
From reading previous posts I have downloaded Samsung toolkit but its well beyond my capabilities.
The bad points
I haven't a clue what to do
Having only just switched to android and learnt the basics about rooting, I really need some assistance with this problem.
Please, please, if there is anyone on XDA who can help point me in the right direction I would forever be grateful.

Thank you. I will look into how to do that. I've only ever rooted, never flashed any kind of ROM. I apologise for my noobness.
The one good thing about this is that I certainly will learn a lot more about my phone in a short space of time.
I will update when I have tried this.
Also will the 'backup and restore' or 'reboot recovery' in CWM be of any use?
Thanks again.

If you made a backup when you rooted with cwm recovery, then I would try to restore it 1st.

Unfortunately I didn't make a backup in CWM, so I cannot restore (I'll be sure too next time though).
Thanks for your suggestion.
Just to update.
Now the phone just gets stuck on the Samsung glowing screen and doesn't keep restarting. I still have access to CWM.
I'm still searching for the Official Jelly Bean ROM to download for my phone.

I have now opened Odin3 v1.85.
Interesting to note that the top black bar says 'Epic 4G'. I don't know if that is of any significance.
I've found the ROM which i relevant to my phone, i think (I9300XXDLIB)
Just to ask, I'm not needing to download any firmware? Different firmware versions were the major results i found when searching. I wouldn't be able to tell you what firmware I'm on, other than to say its Stock o2 UK firmware, whatever that maybe.
Thanks again for the replies.
UPDATE:
I just used odin to try and install the new ROM but it failed.

Please can you provide a link? Its my first time on Sammobile so im still trying to find it. Thanks.
Ok.. After that first try failure I've noticed the phone doesn't even get past the Samsung Galaxy s3 boot screen.
I still have access to CWM through pressing the right buttons.

Alright alright, let's start with some basic stuff here.
1)- Do you have a micro sd card in there? And a card reader to read/write content to it from your PC? (We can use this to flash another ROM directly from CWM).
2)- Did you enter download mode when attempting to flash with ODIN? (Powerdown + Home + Power button)?
Everyone should follow the layout of the first post when asking for help, makes it way easier for people to understand and help.

Hi,
1) Yes I have a micro SD card, which I can use to place files on from my PC.
2) Yes, I entered download mode when flashing to from Odin (The screen with the warning about installing custom software). I clicked ok, and then Odin detected my phone.
I'm currently downloading PDA:I9300XXDLIH & CSC:I9300O2UDLI3 as I'm aware the last ROM could have been the wrong one.
Any assistance would greatly appreciated.
Hope all goes well mate , skander1998 will have much more knowledge than I

If ODIN doesn't work after all, download Android Revolution or any other stock based ROM, place it in your external SD card, and flash it from CWM, Factory reset and that should work.
