[Q] Root question - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have flashed my vibrant with a 2.2 Froyo ROM from this site using ODIN. It works. Now, I would like to root my phone. I don't believe the ROM had root included. My question is this. Can I root my phone with super one click after the flash of 2.2? Also, can I use ODIN to do this?
I searched but couldn't find a ROM with 2.2 + root that works with ODIN. Can anyone provide a link?
Thanks

the noob guide has an ALT VERSION which is a leaked froyo that has root and a recovery... it's done via ODIN.
I use it, and then flash a custom 2.2 rom.

You can simply use 'SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse' from 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682', this will very easily root your Vibrant. To use this, you will need to enable USB debugging and connect the phone to your pc/laptop.

Hey man thanks for the reply! idk I still can't locate that leaked version with root. Is it a .tar?
Is it in ipeench's thread?

yes, it is in the ipeench thread.... hard to see, the link is subtle... It's qouted below where it is in the thread, "here" is a link to the file.
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The zip you download will have eugenes pit / tar / and an older odin (3 files).
I do NOT suggest using the odin that comes with this zip as it is older and more likely to freeze, I have a link in the noob guide for the newer ODIN if you do not already have it (the ODIN you used earlier should work, just use the pit/tar from the zip).
I would strongly encourage following the steps for the ALT METHOD (near the bottom of the first post) in the noob guide, once you have it up and running, go into recovery and flash a custom froyo (I suggest trigger for speed and stability).
Once you have Trigger on your phone, you will be a happy camper. If not, PM me.

Stock 3.1 non touchwiz Odin md5/tar file

Does anyone know where i can find the stock 3.1 no wiz file that i can flash with Odin? I know there are zips that you can flash with clockwork recovery but I am testing something and need in Odin format. Or if you can tell me how i can make one that would be great.
Thank you,

Ah, yeah...now that you say that it was in my recovery steps to get to 3.1. Anyone have an actual 3.1 ODIN file like the [OP] requested? Heck, one for the new stock TWiz would be handy also if it bubbled up.

[Help]How to restore to stock rom without odin ?

Hi guys! I installed one theme last night and now i have big problems with my phone. if i wipe all device and install the GalaxyMOD again has no result, the ''Theme Galaxy S3'' is still in my phone.
I want to know how can i restore my phone to stock rom without using odin ? I have problems with usb, doesn't connect to the pc and i can't use odin.
Thanks!
Two ways. Either with Mobile Odin (get it from Google Play) or somewhere in General there's a thread with CWM flashable stock roms (don't have a link so you'll have to search for it).
i'm looking for the thread with CWM flashable stock roms, but i can't find it :highfive:
Can you give me i link ?
I'm searching for it... right now... but...
From my previous post "...don't have a link so you'll have to search for it".

You could use a nandroid backup file if someone has.
Here is stock ICS rom which is CWM flashable (released by wanam, not the wanamlite version but stock (odex/deodex) rom
http://wanamlite.com/2012/08/01/romcwmxwlptics4-0-4-odexed-fully-deodexed-stock-rom/
1) restore from a back up (if you made one in the beginning)
or
2) flash stock firmware via recovery mode
i didn't do a backup...
Only CWM Stock.

Install cmw recovery using ODIN

Hi,
I have a ATT Samsung Galaxy S2 with 4.0.4((recently updated). I used Exynos Abuse to root my phone. I would like to install cmw recovery and try a custom rom.
I tried to follow the instruction on cyanogen mod but didn't help me much. i installed heimdall but the clockwork mod package doesn't have a zimage. so when i try the command heimdall install --kernal zimage, it says zimage cannot be found!
Is there any other way I can install CMW ? using ODIN ?

Have you tried Mobile Odin. You install it on your phone. I believe it has the capability to flash zipped files as well as tar files.
I'm not familiar with Cyanogen Mod, but you could/should use a kernel compatible with stock 4.0.4 in case you try to boot the phone after installing it. So I would suggest using Siyah. Download the CWM flashable zip package, open it with an archiving program, and extract the zimage. Then use that with either Heimdall or Mobile Odin.

As Ninja says, on the I777 ClockworkMod Recovery is "baked" into the kernel. If you try to install CWM separately, it will almost certainly brick your phone. It seems that in some cases, it is a true brick.

I currently have the stock 4.0.4 on my phn. I rooted my phone. Which kernel should I use ? Siyah kernel or Entropy ? Can you also provide me a link if possible for the kernel . Thx.

Use the most current Siyah. There is no Entropy kernel for ICS. Find the Siyah thread in the original development section of this forum.
If you continue to have issues, remember that before asking, you should try searching and reading for a few hours. Or as long as it takes. There is a sticky clearly stating not to use ROM manager, as it doesn't work properly with our phone. As well as many other helpful tips and instructions. Good luck

I have the same situation with ATT stock 4.0.4.
Just to help you out. This is what you need to do and use (already suggested by almost everyone here that responded). I am just pointing you tto the right location.
NOTE: Read all the instruction and make sure that you understand before you start.
1. Download and install Mobile Odin Lite from this thread. Or you can buy Mobile Odin Pro from the Play Store. (your choice)
2. Download [KERNEL] Siyah - JELLYBEAN - ICS [v4.3.3] "One kernel to rule them all!" put it in the root of your SD and flash it using Mobile Odin. If you use Mobile Odin Lite you will have to extract the file.
As also stated by Phalanx7621, "you should try searching and reading for a few hours." You should do that before you start. I took almost a week reading and looking at other posts before I even got the courage to flash this kernel.

Stuck on Samsung screen

I tried to root my phone using this method

now my phone is stuck on the samsung screen. I can enter into download mode still.please help.
What version of android were you on before you tried this method? Ics, or gingerbread? That thread is for gingerbread versions only. You need to flash the one for ics and you'll be fine.

Everything you needed to root is in here. If you were on ics you were to install usb drivers, Then using odin flash ClockwordMod, then flash superuser. If you were on ics and used odin to flash the gingerbread version you will be stuck at the Samsung logo. I'm guessing that you were on ics and this is what happen. Now to fix it I'm unsure if your to revert back to stock first, then go thru the process again using the correct software. Or if you can just flash those to fix it. My recommendation would be to revert back to stock.

[Q] How to Flashing the MJ9 OTA Firmware

Hi, i just bought my note 2 and ive already unlocked it and rooted it, i want to use a ROM that has 4.3 Jelly Bean like the N3BULA ROM, it says flash the MJ9 OTA Firmware using Odin. But on the forums there is a forum called "Once you're unlocked don't use odin to flash custom ROMs"
1. I should be able to flash the MJ9 using odin safely right because its not a custom rom right?
2. How do i flash the MJ9 update using odin?
3. Once i flash the MJ9 update can i still use non 4.3 ROM?
Question 1: You are correct.
Question 2: Download, then extract with 7zip. Put phone into download mode. Open Odin on computer and connect the phone. Place extracted md5 into the pda slot and hit start. It'll do it's thing and your phone will reboot and be done.
Question 3: Yes as long as don't take the OTA update from Samsung you will able load roms as usual
Once my phone is in download mode, odin doesn't recognize my phone. Any reason why ? I'm so frustrated

Check your drivers. If you've used casual, sometimes removing those drivers will help and by also installing updated Samsung drivers.
If you've done all of the above and it's still not recognized. I recommend trying a different USB cable.

Info that may help: I searched here in xda not on this device or I'd post a link, for how to install Odin and found that for each Samsung device there are some set of Odin versions that are compatible. I used Odin just now (took less than a minute) version 3.07 for my phone. Note that my drivers were already installed and working since I unlocked the bootloader a year ago. For others: it simply rebooted afterwards and all is well.
