when you odined back to stock did you use the atlas pitfile w/ repartition checked?

yes i did
Atlas PIT v2.2
Stock ED05 Odin
actually to add something...i think it started after installing gapps through cwm...not sure if thats worth mentioning
The nightly build i flashed is the most recent 112 one

try odining stock eh03 just for kicks.

I'll try...but you don't seem certain this may work. By any chance do you know any significance of Odin'ing EH03?

I just put 112 on the other night. I had an issue where 3G wouldn't go green and my data wouldn't transmit and I also installed the latest GAPPS. I went into airplane mode and back out then it seemed ok. Hasn't happened again. I also then flashed EH03 through Odin and seem to be good.
I noticed EH03 gave me faster 3G in a speedtest, not a huge indicator of true performance, but everything has been solid for a couple days now. I used droidstyle's guide and so far I haven't hit any 1x bumps on the speed.

[Q] Stuck at vibrant screen after odin

Ok, I was restoring my phone to stock with odin following these stpes
Disable Voodoo
Odin to eugenes froyo that wont brick
sticks at vibrant screen
tried odining to JFD
odin completes but still hangs at the vibrant screen
I have tried with and with out repartition checked and I am able to enter and exit download mode freely, I have tried 3 differnt versions of odin and 2 different downloads of the pda and pits. Any help would be great.
EDIT, Odin is finishing at the pass stage when the phone attempts to boot Currently flashing the JI6 seeing if it works.
Still not getting anywhere, I have now tried to odin to eugenes froyo, JFD, JI6, all which end the same with out a boot screen, I can get download but no recovery.
From my understanding when you flash eugenes froyo that wont brick the boot animation should change to the international one, mine has not done that so I am starting to wonder if there is an issue with the flashes themself.
How long did you wait after flashing the stock firmware? The first boot usually takes a while after an Odin. Did Odin finish flashing everything to the point that it said restart in blue?
You can find instructions to revert to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
I've gotten myself out of some pretty bad "bricks" with JFD and ODIN... make sure you also use the stock .pit file and you can check repartition, use JFD and should fix you right up.
I have waited for 10-15 minutes after it says restart and then sometimes after it says pass, and I have done to jfd and stock pit.
left phone at boot fell asleep woke up hr or so later still at vibrant screen, still cannot access recovery but can access download mode.
To OP. What custom rom did you run before flashing back to stock? Have you recovered?

I was on axura the newest one and did not like it that much tbh had tons of processes starting nonstop and was constantly down to 35m of memory while idle. No I have not recoverd, I have flashed every combo I can think of with ODIN but alas have had no luck.
Currently it is being warrantied out for a free replacement.

So tired.... I am in the same boat. But I get to flash Eugenes froyo but i have 0 room in app storage. Then When I try to Odin to stock JFD and stock .pit it all goes well untill I get to recovery and it tells me in red text "data wipe failed"
The phone reboots and goes black after the galaxy s animation.
You think samsung will fix it for me? I go the phone in July 2010.
To OP.
have you tried flashing eugenes froyo that doesn't brick? I can't understand why a lot of these bricks are happening right now. Especially when you do flash your phone back to stock.

How would I know if samsung will fix it.. I called tmobile said it got bricked while doing JI6 boom problem solved. Their support is not that great though he was having me try to access root by calling it a secert master menu, then asked if i tethered my comp to it but his definition of tether was syncing files I was just playing dumb and letting him ask me his questions

Rooting your device and flashing custom roms onto it voids your warranty from t-mobile. You are wasting your time trying to see if they will help, This is NOT in their job description. They might laugh at you.
@OP Try flashing to a TRUE stock firmware, I personally would not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom, does that make sense? You should go back to t-mobiles legit 2.1. There is a link in the Bible here under the Dev forum. But, The link is broken. So Ive uploaded it here http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg
Don't give up on odin yet, try things like changing your usb ports on the computer, this has worked for me. I also have a video tutorial using odin, it might be of some help to you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10207377&postcount=1

[Q] EB01 reception issues

Hey guys-
I just loaded EB01 radio, rom, and kernel on my SF a few weeks ago. I have noticed really bad reception issues since then. At my house where my wife's Droid Pro gets 4 bars, I'm getting zero to one if I'm lucky. Same with at work, where it used to be just fine. And it's draining my battery because of it. When I try to send a text message, half the time it doesn't go through and gives me the error-message not sent. I will get notification of a voicemail but the phone never rang. Is there a new radio release since the February release of EB01 that I could try? Or any other suggestions? I'm open to just about anything. Thanks!
That's strange because I actually have better reception since I flashed to it. Have you tried updating your roaming capabilities lately?
Was it this eb01 modem? there is also a patch for Samsung MMS (stock, eb01) at the second link.

Try flashing the DL09Modem.tar file using Odin. It's easy to do, and easy to switch back if it doesn't help.
I'm not on my Windows box, but I know the DL09 file is called DL09Modem.tar file and I 'think' that the EB01 is EB01Modem.tar
Get the two tar files and then push the DL09 file via Odin and your phone in Download mode.
Try that and see if one works better than the other. I'm using the DL09 Modem because my GPS works better on DL09 than EB01.

[ODIN][CWM]ED01 Stock ROM/Kernel/Recovery

I put this together for the folks that don't care about the ED01 modem and just want the stock ROM. It could also be useful for people that got the OTA, but want to go back to stock after flashing a custom ROM. I updated via Adrynalyne's method (Odin DL09, update to EA28, then ED01) that he posted here.
There are two versions, one for Odin, the other for CWM. The Odin version is still rooted, but otherwise stock. It will flash the ROM, kernel, and recovery, as well as perform a factory reset. The CWM Zip version is not rooted, but you will want to wipe data after you flash it (perform a factory reset). Neither method will flash the modem as I have no way to dump that, so you will need to already have the ED01 modem if you want to be fully stock.
Odin Version
CWM Zip Version
I'm guessing this gives CWM3?
And which kernel?

This is completely stock ED01 that has been rooted minus the modem. There is no CWM recovery, no custom kernel, it is all stock.
Ah ok. Do I flash this or the modem first?
Thanks.
flashing this will also remove and CWM you have installed.
Is this rooted with the new su package? Thanks
This is great work! I want the ED01 modem for this though, that prob wont be happening anytime soon though im guessing right?

This doesn't include a modem, so you will be on the same baseband you were on beforehand. Until someone digs up a ED01 modem, you need to do the OTA to get the ED01 modem.

Yeah, until someone happens to find a full Odin package for ED01, or can somehow stumble upon just an ED01 modem, this will just be good for flashing the stock rooted ED01 system/kernel.

Modem and Radio r the same thing
Thanks for this. I have been flashing my phone every other week if not more since day 1 without any problems. Now that I want to sell it all of a sudden I'm stumped and can't get it back to working order before I ship it out. Hopefully this will solve my problems. Thanks again. Thunderbolt, here I come!
thanks for the ODIN! This will help greatly! Is it pretty much stock, or did you change a few things (DEBLOAT) and does it have the STAY AWAKE feature?
Modem = Baseband = Radio
Out of curiosity why would you flash this when you can get the version with the modem?
What's the advantage?
Thank you for your work.
Sent with my thumbs.
It would be useful if you did the OTA to get the modem, then installed a custom ROM and needed to go back to stock. Say your phone starts doing something odd, you can't take it in with a custom ROM on it, so you could use this to get back to stock faster than taking the DL09->EA28->ED01 route.

Exactly, cause how odd would it be for a phone to have a ED01 modem and DL09 system =D lol
so has there been any noticeable differences between ec01 and ed01?
Thanks for this; I already did the long stroll to get the ED01 Radio, and this will save me tons of time if "something goes wrong" or for the next ROM change.
is it possible to use re-partition option with this rom? or atlas PIT file?

[Q] Total Factory Reset. Possible?

Hey all,
So I've been digging into this for about a week now and have come up with no conclusive results. I sincerely hope someone can point me in the right direction.
I've been experiencing random lockups and resets recently on EVERY rom I use, including all stock roms. I just don't get it. So I've been trying every rom possible and going back to stock, changing kernels, underclocking and overclocking, changing I/O schedulers, etc...
But what is really blowing my mind is that regardless of how many full wipe and restores I've done, my phone still seems to remember my wifi network and other random info. My question is this:
Is there a way to truly get my phone all the way reformatted to how it came out of the box? (blank slate with absolutely NO user date whatsoever)
If anybody can help me out with this, it would be so greatly appreciated.
Also, I have to manually update the drivers on my device everytime I put it in to download just for Odin to work with it.
follow the going back to stock section in the link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
Yeah I've done this so many times its sickening. Appears the drivers are gone from my phone as well.
This may be a stupid question, but somewhere along the the way I guess my nandroid backup disappeared. Is it possible to use someone elses?

One thing to try is to back up your sd card to a computer then reformat it, then odin a stock package and see if that fixes things. Or odin all the way back to eclair (dl09) then flash your rom of choice. This was the only way I could get on cm7.

Your welcome...Glad it worked for ya! I think dl09 is the best stock package to odin as far as clean install. I was having one hell of a time trying to put cm7.1 on my phone a few days ago...tried every stock froyo package and pwgb, but couldnt get the file system to convert. just a bunch of "can't mount system/data" errors. Finally decided to try the old dl09 package and reformat sd card and bam cm7 installed...which imo was a good indicator that some of the stock odin packages out there do not completely wipe everything.

Yeah that has absolutely been my experience now. ED05 ended up failing me in the end. I just never thought to use dl09 since it was so old but now I'm a firm believer it is the only stock odin package that should be used for clean installs. I had so many issues before this and now it feels like the first time I ever installed a custom rom. And zero problems as well. Thanks again!

"Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue" "Device not responding" Samsung Kies

"Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue" "Device not responding" Samsung Kies
I tried to flash an Android 5.0 ROM earlier, and my phone was only booting to the stock recovery (Safestrap was installed but I did a factory reset). Now, if the phone was turned off by removing the battery, it won't turn on when I hold the power button, or attempt to go into download/recovery mode. Nothing happens. If I plug it in, I can use whatever button combinations as normal. However, I don't think I can get to recovery mode. Both volume down/power and volume down/power/home enter download mode to the phone. I tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin, but it failed. Otherwise, it shows a screen that says " Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" And when I open kies, it just says "connecting" for an extremely long time until it eventually says "Device not responding" and I can't do anything. What do I have to do to fix this? I can't find anything for this phone that has had this problem or knows how to fix it. I've tried a few different things so far but flashing nothing in odin has worked. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
Bumping for others to hopefully see... I've still made no progress and am in the same situation and simply can't find what I need to do.
What build were you on before you started? What file are you trying to flash with Odin?

Here's the issue: since you have safestrap installed that means you're on the new bootloader. We cannot install anything other than TW based roms from nothing newer than nc5 base. If you can get into download mode, you'll need to flash the full wipe nc5 tar file through Odin. That will get you back on stock and you can re-root from there.

Crap. You're right. I completely forgot about that last night. I was getting frustrated with Hyperdrive because when I was trying to install version 20, the WiFi would never work no matter which modules.zip I flashed.
I got fed up and just wanted to flash something else and I did this without even thinking about it... I can get the phone into download mode, but when I try to flash this in odin, it fails.
I saw someone with the same screen as me with a Note 2 and someone said something about flashing a PIT file or something like that? I think I'm going to look into that next, hopefully I can find some useful links.

Sorry I didn't see this post at first. The file I'm using in Odin is mentioned in the above post. Before I had done anything, I was successfully using Hyperdrive 17.something. I did a factory reset, flashed the Hyperdrive 20 rom, flashed the modules.zip (I used like 3 or 4 different ones and none of them got WiFi to work) and rebooted and let the phone sit for 10 minutes, and when I would try to toggle WiFi, it wouldn't work. To make things worse, every time, when I rebooted, SafeStrap wouldn't load. So I had to go back to the ROM and install Towelroot and root the phone again, then install safestrap and install the recovery again and then I could boot to it. But I could never get the WiFi to work a single time.

Using the Full Wipe method on that link, I was able to resolve the problem and at least get back to a working phone. From here I'll use towelroot to root and install safestrap and then install hyperdrive 20 with those modules you linked. To be more specific for anyone reading years from now with the same problem as me, I used odin 1.85 (though many versions work) with the pit file provided from that link with "re=partition, auto reboot and f. reset time" checked in the options. At first, I was having some trouble, but I think it was because the phone had low battery. I plugged it in for a bit, booted it up, and am setting it up right now. Thanks for the help everyone, it's much appreciated. I very much hope that the modules you linked work for me, because if they don't, I have no idea what ROM to use.
I was reading a thread last night where someone listed all of the ROMS working with SafeStrap, but it was from like 2 years ago and almost all of the ROMs had been abandoned.... Is there a more updated list of options? Or just something to look for to make sure a ROM will work right away?

Using the Full Wipe method on that link, I was able to resolve the problem and at least get back to a working phone.

Hyperdrive and echoerom seem to be the most talked about. I'm running echoe v39.1

So right now things aren't going as smoothly as I would've hoped.... The first time I flashed Hyperdrive and then that modules zip you linked, and the phone got stuck on the Samsung custom screen in some sort of loop. I reset it with odin and just the PDA from the link from before, and I then installed towelroot and safestrap again then flashed hyperdrive and modules and now I'm stuck on the hyperdrive red screen... It's just the boot animation and nothing else. When I take out the battery, the power button does nothing if the phone is not plugged in. When I plug the phone in and hold down the power button, it just shows an empty battery with a loading icon in the middle. I can't do anything else.... I'm going to reset it again now and maybe try installing this echoe rom.... Are you talking about this?

With EchoeRom, where do I find the signal bar fix? Is the wifi fix the thing you linked already? or is it separate from modules zip?

Sorry! I had started this reply earlier in the morning then got busy with work. The link for the signal bar fix is in the OP from the forum you found by jds. It's down by the link for v26. I sent you the wifi fix that works for me. If you're going to use v39.1, you will need jrkruse's nk2 patch found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674280
The echoe site is here:
http://echoerom.com/roms/echoefull/s4/i9505/
Flash in this order:
Rom
Nk2 patch (not needed for v29/29.1)
Signal bar fix
WiFi fix
Updated supersu.zip (optional)
Be sure to verify the md5 of the downloads. Good luck!

No need to apologize!! Your job isn't to monitor me, and I can't thank you enough for all the help. I'm going to give this a shot at some point today, hopefully it'll work. I'll comment back in the thread whatever happens... As you can probably tell, I typically have horrible luck with these things.
So I have had the same issue as the OP after trying to flash to a 5.0 ROM, but my issue is still ongoing, as when I try to flash the stock ROM from this link I get the error that it failed in Odin.

Are you flashing the full wipe? Good download? Check MD5? Using the cable that came with the phone? Try a different USB port?

Well the OP said he did the wipe with that link I listed, and I would assume it's a good link. I am flashing the full wipe with the PIT file, using the cable that came with the phone, and I have tried using a different USB port. I have tried 3 different MD5 files as well and still have had no luck.
Edit (2:13 PM Eastern): Had the wrong file after some digging, and got the NC5 instead of the MK2. Phone is booting normally. Thanks for the help.
