I can't get out of CF Recovery, no matter what I do, and NONE OF THE OPTIONS IN THE RECOVERY MENU WORK AT ALL. I can't reboot from it, apply zip, shut down.... nothing.... lierally~
so...
I want to Odin to a stock ROM, maybe KH3, but where are the Odin flashable ROMs?
Search is utterly useless for 90% of the real questions most people have these days in XDA... it doesn't return properly targeted answers the majority of the time... not even close.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can I Odin to any KH3 ROM without screwing up my carrier lock?

Can I use a non-carrier branded ROM on a locked device?
I'd prefer a generic ROM.
Do I need to flash the PDA, Phone, and CDC files at the same time and are they located in these ROM files?
Thanks for the help.

Yes, you can flash an unbranded ROM. As for what to flash, it may be different from ROM to ROM, so just make sure you fully read at least the 1st post on the thread you download from. Everything you need to know will be in there.
I'm guessing you'll only need the PDA tar file.
That did it, my friend!
Thanks so much!
I haven't communicated with you since the days of the HD2.
It's been a while.
I'm up and running the stock KH3 and all is well.

Hi, my S2 was a stock T-Mobile UK phone which I flashed to KE7 via odin (phone appears to now be unbranded).
I'd like to install the new lite'ning rom, but was unsure if I needed to re-flash the phone back to stock first or if I can just go ahead and flash it as it is.
Here are the current details:
PDA:I9100XWKE7
Phone: I9100XXKE4
CSC:I9100XEUKD1
Many thanks!

Follow the instructions in the lite'ning rom thread?
It doesn't mention anything about that and I didn't want to assume. There are over 100 pages in that thread so reading every page isn't really practical, I hoped someone might have already been in this situation and would therefore know a quick answer.
Well if you dont want to read then just flash it and you know where to look if something goes wrong in the 100+ pages .
Reading this post says one you flashed from TMobile branded rom to a stock KE7 .
THAT IS STOCK .

I've read quite a bit of the 100 page thread, surely knowledge gained that might prevent an issue is better than running around like a headless chicken trying to fix it after the fact?
Yes, KE7 is stock but it's not T-mobile stock and as I'm new I'm trying to get an understanding of how re-flashing my phone might affect future flash attempts.
I would of course just have posted the question in the lite'ning thread (which is really where this needs to go), but 10 posts are needed before I can post there.

The litening rom is based on ke7. I presume you are tmobile uk? If so, then you just flash it via odin. I suppose if you wanted, you could flash cfroot(look for chainfires thread in dev) and do a backup after cwm recovery. Or you can just flash the litening via odin. The litening instructions says it doesnt wipe.
You could always pm the litening dev.

Hi there,
Total noob here, so bear with me.
I recently bought a SGS2 and flashed it with CF-Root without any problem to KJ3.
Now, I saw there's this new KK2/5, with 2.3.6, and I was thinking about updating, if possible using CWM Manager. I guess I should follow the steps in the second part of this post.
Now my questions are:
1. Do I need to flash first the stock firmware? Or can I just directly flash the new CF-Root?
2. What does "factoryfs ("system") is mandatory part at the moment. " mean?
3. I noticed there is no stock KK5 in Intratech's thread so far (just a Frankenstein, still not completely sure what that means). Does that mean I cannot use KK5 CF-Root? Should I better go with KK2?
4. Can I flash directly CF-Root kernel and the rest of the stock firmware together? Or should I first flash the full stock FW and then flash CF-Root? Would I lose root and CMW then? That would mean I'd have to flash CF-Root via Odin, right?
5. Last stupid question. Where is the thanks button??
Thanks everyone.
1. You need stock firmware, CF-Root only gives kernel.
3. As previously answered, CF-Root goes side by side with stock ROM, if there's no stock ROM available for latest CF-Root, get a lower version.
4. You should flash first stock, then CF-Root. You will loose root & CWM.
5. The thanks button is just below this answer, near the Quote button.

I'd recommend you flash the stock firmware as there may be incompatibilities with the Kernel and existing PDA , MODEM and CSC. Plus no one just uses the newer kernel ppl flash / upgrade the entire firmware so that they can actually kernel is like the heart of the system responsible for power distribuation and stuff.

CWM is usually used to flash the kernel or zImage files. For flashing entire firmware via SD card i'd recommend Mobile Odin Pro by Chainfire which consumes the entire tar file and keeps root intact. This'll change your firmware and kernel while keeping you rooted just flash a CF-Root after that.

Frankenstein is just a combination of different Modem/CSC(Usually Multi) and PDA of the latest firmwares which is combined for the best performance is most importantly Non-Wipe ROM. Intra usually puts in a Multi-CSC for several region's use.

Thanks Az,
I can't see the Thanks button in any other thread. Do I have to write first before it becomes available?
So, if i need the stock kernel first, what are the instructions in the post I linked (CF-Root v5.0: Upgrading your firmware) for? Flashing full firmwares that already have CF-Root included? Wouldn't that be the same as if I got the other FW files (phone, CSC) from stock and added the CF-Root kernel (pda)?
Any idea about question #2?
Thanks again.
At first follow the instructions in this thread and flash kk2 or kk5 as you want the newest ;p : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Then when you flashed a full new firmware from that guide you can proceed to the instructions of CF-root with the matching kernel (kk2 or kk5 just the same version as you chosen in the previous step) from that topic to flash and gain root and CWM.
CF-root is only a kernel that is modified, so it is only a small part of a firmware but with nice extra features added.

Yeah it activates in the forum/thread you write in .....
yup stock kernels are signed by samsung and hence are requred for flasing over CF_Root kernels. as they remove the yellow triangle. factoryfs simply stands for factory file system it is recommended to include in case the newer firmware has a change in the file system / tables if you don't include it while flashing firmware using CWM you might end up bricking your phone. But the FW flashing process through CWM is pretty complicated and cumbersome i use odin as it is a simple job.
Thanks, everyone. Sorry for the crosspost, digi. When I saw your answer, I couldn't edit it for five minutes because I'm too new.
Anyway, I would try Mobile Odin Pro, but the country I'm in doesn't support paid apps, so it shows as incompatible with my device...
The only reason I'd wanted to use CMW was in order to avoid the flash counter (which is stupid because it is already on 2 or 3, I guess) and the yellow triangle removal process. So I guess it is not much of a problem.
Ok, so here's another question. What is this non-wipe stuff? It means I don't need to factory reset the phone after flashing?
Also, would you guys reccommend to use the Frankenstein FW with KK5 and the CF-Rooting to KK5? If these Frankenstein FW are created for better performance, the only difference is that they're not the stock configuration and won't allow me to update via Kies, but otherwise should give a better experience, right?
Sorry for being a scary cat, I just don't want to break my phone too quickly.

Most of the stock roms provided directly are wipe means they reset the system SD card when flashed. Intratech removes the script from the ROM specifically from the Frankenstein. About CF's Mobile Odin there are other ways to get it PM ChainFire himself for it and just give him a beer offline. Any flash of a different region via Odin will not allow you to update via KIES for that you need to flash the stock ROM of your specific region and then update it to the new ROM for your region it will as it is be provided by intratech in his thread eliminating the use of KIES entirely.
Nice, thanks. I've been reading on CF Mobile Odin, maybe I'll contact him and give it a try then.
So, any reason I should not flash the newest Frankestein FW and then root it with CF-Root?
Also, if CSC doesn't have anything to do with the supported languages, what does it do exactly? I read it is specific region settings, what if my carrier is not included? Would that be a problem? I live in China, using China Mobile.
Thanks, guys.

Sorry weekend pretty busy
Nope no reason why you should'nt ........ Frankenstein is pretty much stock only a bit tweaked .... personally i never flash CSC for my region ...... yea they are supposed to provide APN settings and all but for you guys there in china there have been certain issues .... i would recommend you flash the CSC after you flash the ROM your region's CSC would be available in the frankenstien section as well .... just ensure after flashing the ROM everything is in order.
Thanks digi. I almost forgot about this thread. I ended up flashing Frankenstein KK5 and then Siyah Kernel to give it a try. I didn't flash CSC, but I haven't had any problem. It seems APN settings are grabbed from the network or the SIM or something. I have no idea. What are the issues you referred to in China?
I am trying to find my way into a Chinese forum, but my limited Mandarin is making things difficult. After reading a lot, I arrived to the conclusion that most problems (battery, connectivity, gps lock...) are carrier/location related (I mean, if you flash correctly and everything seems to be running fine). So I thought I should try getting some local information. Hope I can achieve something, because I am getting really poor battery when wifi is on...
Is there any place where one can compare modem/kernel/rom/battery performance in relation to location/carrier. I think that would be sooo useful. Maybe I should give MIUI a try, since it is Chinese...

Yes, as long as you read the instructions of installing CM9. People get problems after installation usually due to not properly installing.
Also it would be best to be patient for replies, instead of posting for an answer just 30 minutes later. Plenty of people wait for replies hours to days later.

Actually Zaclimon I have it bookmarked on my browser lol. It was one of the first things I found and it helped a lot. I usually suggest going to it when people ask how to flash, where are stock roms, and etc . I think that the thread should stay permanently at the top of the Q&A section.
Hi all,
I want to be sure here for obvious reasons, i had a rooted s3 with custom rom/firmware, which i then used triangle, went back to stock and unrooted. However the firmware i installed isnt what i wanted, i read that the firmware with xx in it was for uk use but it seems to be primarily for israil as it has jewish as its default language and a jewish calender installed as default. So i have now downloaded which i hope is a tmobile uk firmware 19300xxella_i9300t from sammy. will i need to root again then install this with odin then reset counter then unroot and will this download cover the rom and firmware as im never to sure the firmware (screen entered when holding volume up, power button and middle button is now official stock. but not sure if this will allow me to install the official?
is theis file 19300xxella_i9300t the rom or firmware im now confused
You dont have to root to flash stock rom. You might need to reset your S3 though..

Just download the stock rom that you want (e.g. from sammobile.com) and flash it via Odin. Afterwards do a factory reset and you should be good to go. No root required.
