I can't boot into recovery and i'm trying to flash with Odin the Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 system package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
When I put it in the pda slot (after deleting 7z extension so it's just a .tar) I click start, and it sits for a second and then fails. Now when I try to reboot it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
We got it into download mode but that file keeps saying FAIL. What do we do?
Try downloading the file again. It night be corrupted.
Also make sure you have the correct drivers.

^^^^this - and if you're trying Odin, you might try Heimdall instead - or try the instructions for using ADB in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 (if you got rooted before) - that might get you to CWM again.

Read the directions!!!!
I cannot believe someone thought that just removing an extension was a good way to extract a file!

If I am reading this correctly, does this mean you just removed the .7z extension and then tried to flash the resulting file. If so, that is your problem because it is a 7z file even after you remove the extension. What you need to do is extract the tar from the 7z using an unarchiving tool like win zip or 7 zip or similar. Then flash the extracted tar file.
Wow, people this inept with computers in general should not be flashing phones. I really try not to flame people. But this is really indicative of the kind of people that should just leave their phones stock.

Immediate help you want? For your own stupidity? Perhaps you are mistaken in thinking this place exists just to give you immediate help for a self-inflicted screw-up. This is NOT the Samsung Help Desk. Help is given on the forum's terms, not yours. Try to be a little less stupid and a lot more gracious next time you mess something up. No one in here owes or is owed anything.
You are not helping anyone with those comments...

Here is the official MR4 update Verizon released for the Eris. This is for the people who haven't got the update yet and can't wait. And for the people who don't know how to install it (like myself).
Click to Download
Instructions:
1.) Move it to the root folder of your SD card.
2.) Rename it "update.zip"
3.) Turn your phone off
4.) Turn it back on by pressing "Vol-Up & End/Power" until the phone starts.
5.) Wait 15 seconds -- Then press "Vol-Up & End/Power again"
6.) You should get a short menu, one entry of which will say something about "sdcard:update.zip"; choose that.
This update is keyed to only specific releases, namely leak-V3 and OTA2.1. It will abort on 1.5, leaks V1 & V2, and the original root-ROM.
Credit goes to Eris User
So I know this has been asked before, but I figure this is a safe place to ask again...
This is basically just a radio update, no? If it's more than that, what else is it? I'm wondering if I should put it on my wife's phone to cure some of the bugs that she's always complaining about.

New radio, new kernel, updated (Java) framework components, update HTC Sense apps - lots of fixes.
Here is a XDA post which details what gets patched or updated in the (July 2010) OTA
Probably a lot of minor bugfixes for things that lots of people never experience.

Ok I go the update this morning via OTA and tried to install it & It came back with a ! inside a triangle Failed. I am Root only still running stock rom but have the updated over clock kernel. Is this my problem as to why it wont update? Also can I manually install it and then just have to re push SU? Or will it take root out and I just have to re-root?
Or should I not even worry about it and just run another rom?
Is there a new link to this?
Has someone uploaded this to a different location?
Google isn't finding it for me on any forums.
I am having the same issue. Can someone upload this to the git hub site? I am trying to return my eris and get a new one
First of all, big thanks to mastibeta for testing and confirming that it works.
Disclaimer
This is a dangerous method and could potentially brick your phone. The CWM update makes it a bit more foolproof, but if something fails, it is not my responsibility!
AT&T i717, Rogers i717R, Telus i717D & Bell i717M ONLY! (according to jpeg42, it also works with the ics leak)
Description
This resets the flash counter (kernel/recovery/... flashed through Odin) back to stock.
How to use
Download the zip file. Its an update-zip for cwm.
Put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash it.
Fun Fact
- Samsung knows how many kernels/recoveries you've flashed through odin.
- The single counters are up to 255, so theoretically you can "reset" by flashing 256 of each (Samsung will still know you flashed something)
- Samsung knows what was the last thing you've flashed
- Flashing System is not counted.

So we can apply this .zip file through CWM as many times as we want to get the counter reset, is this correct?
Not sure how i would go about getting a screen capture in download mode, via adb perhaps?

Actually i did when I put the .tar file that I got from Entropy's thread in the PDA section I get an error that says...
Invalid Image File.
I'm just saying this..
XDA has become a forum full of assholes.
I didn't say HEY DO IT FOR ME, I said hey am I doing this properly. and your first response is you obviously didn't read the guides on the net, Obviously I did if I posted saying I am unsure if whats going on is going on in this manner, you can say I'm all about helping members blah blah blah, but if your first question isn't
Have you read any of the guides out there? and instead you put some asshole assumption then you are a SHAME to XDA, 2 years ago XDA was much better quality members,
I've never used odin, I'm getting errors when following guides.. the only acceptable area of the .tar that it reads is... in One Package..

jesus christ.....what happened to common ****ing sense around here?

He said and I quote..
use
ODIN 1.85 or better the odin downloaded was ODIN 4.0
Assumption being that it was the correct version and Heimdall's gui was confusing..
I did download 1.85 and it seems that.. the .tar can be placed into PDA
Now I wanna double check this guide or not and I hope you can not bite my head off but..
The .tar goes in PDA
Options should be set is..
Auto Reboot - on
F. Reset Time - on
nothing else

I have managed to unroot the phone but I cant seem to root it again......very strange.I have tried following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 but there is a problem.
when I install the cwm zip(think its v5.8),I basically cant do anything in its menu.It only scrolls down once in the menu,then hangs/freezes.Once it did work and I was trying to install the busybox stuff,but it couldnt find anything to install.I cant remember but I did see a " e:verification signature error".
So I tried to root using odin and basically it wont flash the required .tar file for rooting successfully and Ive got to keep reflashing the stock .tar file...
Has anyone encountered these problems before.

How did you try to scroll, with volume up/down? If I am not mistake this CWM is a touch version
It was just the basic one.I've never seen recovery acting the way that version was doing.Out of the 6 options I could only scroll to 3 of them,and it wouldn't go near the other 3 options.
I eventually fixed the problem by trying combos with pressing the power and home buttons,and I think I got the other file in that link installed(the root).Then I stuck on siyah(c/w the touch recovery you said),which meant I could reinstall everything by the nand backup.
I can't remember if I got out of the other part of the recovery problem(verification) by getting the 2nd file from the internal memory and flashed that successfully.

I was recently changing custom roms on my i9300 and think i formatted the wrong option. Now when I turn on my phone it gets as far as the start up screen, then goes off and just continues to repeat. I have trawled the web and tried a couple PIT and PDA's but no joy as of yet. I can boot it into download mode. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Hey untick repartition then flash
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did it help when flashed without re-partition checked?
Why do you need a PIT file? Where did you get it?
Repartitioning could be extremely dangerous.
try odin version 3.04 without the PIT file, if you get NAND write start just wait about 5-6 mins, if it stays where it is come here again.
IF you can, try rooting it with CF AUto root then flash a recovery. THen put a ROM on your external SD card and flash it via recovery and see if it boots.
Very sorry for the delay in reply. Its been bloody hectic!
I tried both of those suggestions Mr Mirage.
The first one i got the NAND write start, and the same on the second. It also got stuck on NAND write start
