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..

EDIT......
nah, forget it. you obviously fail to understand what version you are supposed to be using.....i will let you continue on your own accord......

Pirateghost said:
but your screenshot shows a completely different version of ODIN than the one you are told to use in all the GUIDES.......
what is wrong with using the one-click or the heimdall options?
so for the asshole assumption, i presume you understand you are using the wrong ****ing odin?
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

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

Galaxy S2 SGH i 777(UCKK6) rooted, clockwork mod "signature" failure

Hi guys,
New to forum. Please delete this thread if you think this is duplicate. But I can't find any solutions so far. I searched the whole xda forum and googled but of no avail. I looked at the suggestions you give at the time of posting, but no.
Here is my problem.
I followed an excellent thread for rooting the stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432. I got UCKK6 Stock rom working with root and got all the other apps that make use of rooting.(Except I could not find out how to say thank you. Thank you Entropy! ) ). Now I want to install Clockworkmod recovery and I get Signature failed error. I use, the (prohibited) ROMManager.(I cant find an alternative, on SGH i 777 at least.)
Please help me.
Had you spent some time reading through the FAQ and stickies you might have seen the warnings against using ROMManager. Did you try searching for an answer because this is a common pitfall of people who flash a ROM without knowing what they're doing. The stickies in General have your answers.
Yes. I did that. Unfortunately I could not find the alternatives mentioned to for SGH i 777. That's what I am saying in my original post. Please if you can find it, can you post the link?
Thanks
Simple - install a kernel with Clockworkmod.
OK. So flashing a new kernel is the only solution? There is no way I can get around signature issue? Do I have to use Odin, instead of recovery? since obviously recovery is doing signature verification?

Yes, you have yo flash another kernel with CWM embedded in it to have CWM... you need to either use Odin or Kernel Flasher to get that. After you flash a kernel with CWM embedded in it, you will be able to go into CWM recover and flash everything else.
OK. Thanx. And I love the way you guys give quick replies.
(And I get the message read and read. It's just that you won't a get a solution for all the problems from existing threads. The forum is exhaustive but it's not complete is it?)

Need immediate help with phone (won't boot at all)

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...
Really annoying on this forum.... especially cuz devs makes his names providing services to those people.

[Q] Need help rooting phone

Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100(T) Vodafone
PDA: I9100TDVLSM
PHONE: I9100TDVLS3
Android Version: 4.1.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.301-889696 [email protected]#3
Build Number: JZO54K.I9100TDVLSM
I'm having trouble working out what files I need to root my phone as there are so many variations, I don't plan on installing a custom rom I just want superuser access. There does not seem to be the correct kernel version for my phone in this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
The closest one I think would be GT-I9100T_DUKF2_insecure is that correct as I don't want to brick my phone if there is a chance using the wrong kernel as I don't have a spare one to use until I get it fixed. I have seen people suggest using I9100 instead and flash the modem but I don't want to do that or is this the only way?. I would have posted this in the kernel topic but I don't have the user permission to do so.
I will be using this guide http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
Aside from the rom manager https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EwMiwiY29tLmtvdXNoaWtkdXR0YS5yb21tYW5hZ2VyIl0. Are there any other recommended apps that need to be installed after the rooting process
I'm only going to say two things :
1. Search for PhilZ kernel.
2. Don't install ROM manager. It's a safe bet to brick an i9100.
Sent from my GT-I9100: Powered by Dorimanx, running RootBox
I've got 2 more.
1) Stick to xda threads.
2) Search in the HUGE australian thread sticked in Q&A.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I've got another one:-
If you can't work out how to root this phone without making a thread in Q&A given it was released two years ago, I'd question whether you should be messing with your phone in the first place. Read some threads (which people attempt to circumvent by posting threads like this; refer to my sig as to what happens to these people), settle on a method. It's not rocket surgery.
Edit - And another - If you're scared of bricking your phone, just don't go there. The moment you root your phone, kiss goodbye any expectation of warranty service.

I can work it out I just wanted some verification to determine if I was correct about what secure and insecure kernel I needed before I do this that will allow me to root the phone with out having to flash a modem onto it. I have settled on the method this one. This I why I posted under the Q&A section to get help on my understanding not be redirected to a different thread or told that I should not do this.

Hi I have a same phone and "problem".
Did you rooted your phone?

[Q] Install APKs trough CWM sdcard .zip?

I everyone im new but read a whole lot of hours to be able to come this "far"
Anyone what i did is 1. Root , 2. Unlock bootloader 3. Clockworkmod recovery , 4. Flash Codename Lungo
But i realized it had NO FileManager, Browser or 3rd party market installed
I can't find a proper "guide" or download source where to download Fdroid in a .zip file that i can flash trough CWM or do whatever app i like that way. The most important thing right now is that i can somehow install a FileManager that way i can atleast do more things and install apks how im used to
I tried AROMA but can't understand the terminal
:good:

First of all that kind of language is not tolerated on Xda!! :silly:
boomboomer was like me trying to help you by stopping you posting in the wrong forum because if you do any information or flashing of software from the wrong forum can brick your device. Now if you had done all the research you say you have done then you will know that I9300 international does not have a locked bootloader unless you have a magic phone that nobody else does! You may well have a I9300 but you did not unlock the bootloader! Also keep up the foul language (it will soon get you banned!

Man i couldn't Flash and install CWM if i didn't unlock the boot loader. You can think whatever you like i installed an APK called un-lock or something swiped "unlock bootload" and a green mark appear with avoice saying "that was easy".
So now go ahead and think whatever you like about it and stop telling me i write in the wrong forum when i have i9300 posting in Q&A help & troubleshooting section. Are there not one single person here who is normal who could post something instead of these two idiots.
