i have been searching for days and i cannot seem to find the modem for kj4 in TAR format. i have tried the websites that convert zip to tar and they do not convert where odin can read it.
What options do i have without flashing a custom kernal with CWM on it?
i have my stock 2.3.4 minus the bloatware running now and i do not want to change that as my battery life has been perfect and bug free.
Correct me if im wrong but all i need is to have the phone rooted and ODIn can flash the modem in for me?
i've tried to get CWM without flashing and apparently it cant be done.
invest in the PRO version of mobile Odin from the Play Store. Mobile Odin will flash files without changing the flash counter, too.
Here's a link to a stock kernel that has cwm. you can flash this with mobile odin, then flash whatever you want from either cwm or mobile odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285823
If you're rooted, just flash the zip file, look for the modem in the modems thread in development
Edit: sorry, somehow the last part of your post didn't register in my head, lol, try the pro version of mobile Odin like mentioned above

this will work for any gingerbread: 2.3.4, 2.3.6. Just download the file (about 6 megs i think), put it on your internal sd card, open mobile odin, choose kernel, select it from your internal card, go down to "flash firmware" in mobile odin and flash it. you will now have cwm recovery, then you can flash your modem from cwm.
I have never flashed a modem from mobile odin do I don't know what type of file it will need to flash kj4.
no. you don't have to do a data wipe.

here, try this. this is the one I use if I ever flash back to stock.
thanks! worked like a charm. had to download most of the stuff to the computer first but CWM recovery is on here.
scratch that. cwm is on here but it cannot do anything. even the reboot system option doesnt work. i installed rom manager thinking it would help but that puts the phone into download mode.
i tried the flash modem with mobile odin but it wont find the modems that i have one the device. im assuming it only read TAR files. so im still back to square one.

avoid Rom Manager at all costs. just put the zip of the kj4 on your sd card. boot into recovery (hold both volume buttons and power button at the same time until you see the SAMSUNG splash screen. choose zip from sd card and flash.
I'm astonished that nobody even suggested using modem.bin and odin or heimdall. No need for new kernel or cwm. My faith is waning here.

I unzipped the file and did the bin file on mobile Odin. It finally worked so I didn't need cwm which by the way doesn't work on my phone for whatever reason. I installed it from two different kernels but when I select an option the screen just sits there. Turns out kj4 sucks for me so I'm going to go try another one. My battery life had gone down with this modem.

depending on the kernel you used with CWM in it, you should probably have been using the HOME button to select

OK I have read creepy's guide and several other ones and downloaded all the files.
So far the steps that I understand:
1. Recovery Wipe
2. Download Mobile Odin on your phone
3. Use Mobile Odin to flash custom kernel by selecting zImage file. (Apparently I need to use a gingerbread Kernel even though I am going to ICS? this I also don't really understand)
4. He says you can use Mobile Odin to flash a ROM but never explains how. The way I did this before is by loading a .tar file into the PDA section of ODIN on PC and then just clicking start while my phone is in download mode. I looked into Mobile Odin and found no option saying ROM or PDA. My options are Kernel, System, Data, Cache, Param, Modem, or Hidden. So where do I load the .zip/.tar file?
Help would be very appreciated thank you.
You can not use GB kernel on ICS rom. To flash kernel you should put zImage to kernel section on mobile odin and push flash firmware.
To flash rom via mobile odin you should put tar or md5 rom file to system section of mobile odin. Push flash firmware.

if the zImage file is inside of the .tar file does that mean flashing the ROM will automatically flash the kernel as well?
Also creepy specifically states to use a gingerbread kernel, "You must use a Gingerbread kernel when using this method. If you use an ICS kernel while your phone is running Gingerbread, it will not boot!!!"

If tar or md5 file have zImage, mobile odin will leave old kernel.
If you want to flash ICS rom You should put tar or md5 file of rom in system and ICS kernel of this rom in kernel.
f you want to flash GB rom You should put tar or md5 file of rom in system and GB kernel of this rom in kernel.
Creepy states don't mix GB kernel with ICS rom and v.v.
If rom file have inside hidden, modem, zImage, system (factoryfs), cache. You can on mobil odin push "open file or archive .tar, .tar.md5, .exe, and separate file" and choose rom tar or md5 file. Mobile odin will put all file in right plase.

Apparently these are all .zip files? How am I suppose to do this using .zip files?
This is the ROM I am trying to flash:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650948
The .zip file has only 5 files inside of it when extracted, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img, modem.bin, and zImage with no specified file extension.
When you said it will "leave the old kernel" do you mean it will leave it in place, or leave it to the new kernel inside of the .tar file?
So should I extract the .zip file use the zImage as my kernel and load the whole .tar file under system?
Or do I need to use a different kernel like fluxxi?
EDIT: I was also curious about this ROM, would it be difficult to install? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752232

First rom you should open with "open file" and mobile odin will put all him self. And you can flash. Kernel and modem will be changed to rom kernel and modem.
Second rom is not difficult but you should flash with cwm recovery.

this is the one I meant: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181

Also for the second link, I'm guessing CWM is Clockwork Mod? is this a mobile software or PC based? I googled it and went to their main website and found no download link for anything similar to ODIN. I also searched for cwm recovery in play store and found an app called rom manager, is this it?

It's same. put in "open file".
After installing rom you can change kernel via mobile odin.
After installing you will have a root and it' very easy.
You can change kernel to siyah kernel nomswap http://www.mediafire.com/?81odsaa6o6ib165. Take from zip file zImage and install via mobile odin. After you will have root and cwm recovery.
But it is for I777 based stock rom. For other rom you should install siyah mswap http://www.mediafire.com/?vihwj8l5wv8v263

Ok great I know have all the files selected in mobile odin. I wanna go over this with you one more time before i begin the flash to make sure I made no mistakes.
1. I did not do a factory reset because I am still on gingerbread(rooted) is this ok?
2. I used "open file" as you said and it placed all the proper files in the right location.
3. There are two options that I'm not sure what they do, "wipe data and cache" and "Wipe Dalvik cache" Should I check both of these?
As soon as you tell me I'm fine ill start the flash! thanks again!
I impatiently started the flash I hope i didnt mess anything up

It ensures that there are no "left behinds" from prior ROMs or kernels that could (and often do) conflict with the new firmware you're flashing. Many of the problems that people tend to blame on ROMs or kernels are actually often resolved when they go back and wipe fully before the install. May as well get it out of the way in the first place instead of ending up pulling your hair out (or frustrating the dev enough to do the same) because it wasn't done with a clean slate.

When you hit the PDA box it doesn't bring up the tar file? It can't be a zip. Make sure you have the correct cwm file on your PC. Make sure you download the Odin file. I prefer the touch version myself.

That has the Odin flashable cwm touch file... that version is outdated so after flashing that, you'll have cwm, but flashing a newer Rom zip might end up with a "status 7 error" in recovery.
At that point I'd personally use goo manager go grab the latest version of a cwm zip, that'll be usable in the version of cwm I posted above.

Are you saying I should _not_ use TWRP to put CWM on?
No, it should work, just saying if it still gives you the proverbial finger, Odin is your friend and that version is just the latest with an Odin .tar
So to have your cake (cwm) and eat it too (flash new roms) you'll need to update your recovery from that older version of cwm
So you said you get an error when you tap to install? You should be flashing that zip in recovery like you would a ROM or mod. Is that what you did? After it installs just reboot recovery within twrp and bam!!! You'll have cwm.
Thanks so much for your help...my problem remains, so I may go back to a stock ROM for T-Mobile, since that is my provider, and see if I can solve it... Before I installed CWM, I could sms/mms to my e-mail address...I can't any longer.
Running stock rooted ICS 4.0.3
I was running Stock ICS with the latest Siya kernel. However I decided to flash AOKP using CWM but got stuck on the boot screen containing the words Samsung Galaxy S2 and so just used Odin on the computer to flash back to Stock rooted ICS from Creepys thread. I'm trying to reflash the Siya Kernel again but when I select the ZImage file with mobile ODIN lite the flash button is grayed out. I've downloaded and reinstalled both the kernel files and reinstalled mobile ODIN lite and get the same thing.
As a side note, I did a nandroid backup and wipe data factory reset before flashing the AOKP zip file with CWM. Not sure what happened there.
Any help is appreciated!

Why are you making things harder on yourself boy? Just flash the .zip in CWM BAM, you have Siyah Kernel
OK, I used Terminal to put the Siya Kernel back and then restrored the nandroid backup. Everything was back to normal. I then downloaded the Aberration zip file and flashed it with CWM and it wouldn't boot past the Kernel logo. Maybe my SD card is bad or something. Aberration showed a successfull instal then wouldn't boot. It was the latest version with an older kernel so I'm not sure what's going on. I must suck at flashing ROMs. After restoring to the backup that I actually flashed the Siya Kernel on, Mobile ODIN Lite still has the flash button grayed out. It it a one time use thing or something? I'm dying to try a custom ROM but so far have struck out 2X.:laugh:

Also, don't forget to do a wipe data/factory reset before you flash a new firmware.
Re: Mobile Odin Lite. You should be able to install a kernel even without installing the I777 supplementary file. If Mobile Odin is not seeing the kernel, I'm not sure but maybe it's a spelling issue. At least Linux expects a file to be capitalized exactly, so maybe Mobile Odin does too. It should be zImage, not ZImage (as you have it above.)
Also, if you install the I777 supplementary file, then Mobile Odin becomes a very useful tool. You can get that from (I think) the 3rd or 4th post in the Mobile Odin thread.

Aroma installer does it auto magically unless he chose not to but it says only for experts

Also, don't forget to do a wipe data/factory reset before you flash a new firmware.
Re: Mobile Odin Lite. You should be able to install a kernel even without installing the I777 supplementary file. If Mobile Odin is not seeing the kernel, I'm not sure but maybe it's a spelling issue. At least Linux expects a file to be capitalized exactly, so maybe Mobile Odin does too. It should be zImage, not ZImage (as you have it above.)
Also, if you install the I777 supplementary file, then Mobile Odin becomes a very useful tool. You can get that from (I think) the 3rd or 4th post in the Mobile Odin thread.

I made sure and did the data/factory reset. I also, checked the spelling and it is zImage as you stated. I had a typo.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/reywsfdl7ttgkjj/Mobile ODIN Lite-236.apk I have some more older v. if you need..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5q4b5tkmxsdx0e1/Mobile ODIN FlashKernel I777.apk here is the FlashKernel i777 to install after the first not needed but good to have....
One more thing, make sure you have not blocked the superuser access to the app....
just thought id put this up since i haven't seen it posted.
this is the full OD3 stock Rom tar.MD5 file
it is odin Flashable.
I will warn you alot of people are saying once they upgraded to this bootloader they couldnt get OA6 roms to flash so beware.
any download mirrors would be appreciated
Here is another link but this one you have to unzip then use Odin to flash the tar file inside thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61215093
download
use odin 3.10.6 but i believe 3.10.0 will work also
put the file in the AP slot and flash
you will most likely lose root but here it is any way

It should be noted that if anyone flashes this firmware they will NOT be able to flash back to a previous firmware.
i will also note that some people could gain root with chainfire and flash custom recovery through odin then restore backups of OA6 but again beware

Wasn't sure about chainfire's root method on this version since I'm not running it, so hopefully it still works. @Ramer has uploaded this as well to a file hosting site so if he doesn't see this, ask him for a link for his download link so you can add a mirror site to the OP as an alternate if you like.

Here the file I put up on AFH: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952615017
I have to question the title of this thread though. This is NOT flashable in recovery. It's the zip file that must be unzipped on a PC and then Odin the tar file. It's the original one from Sammobile.
The OP gives correct instructions, I just think the word flashable is bound to confuse someone.

thanks for the mirror it says right in the OP "Odin" flashable
also in the instructions it says to open odin use the ap slot etc
plus if anyone tried to recovery flash it would just fail, no damage done
thanks

You are correct. It's probably just my hesitation to using the word flashable and odin at the same time. I've lost count of how many users see a zip and think "I'll flash this"
Tried this and I still show BOA6 software and baseband ? Also after I installed it on odin I didnt like it much so I was able to flash MOAR after I flashed OD3. weird
Can we please get screenshoots??

Looks exactly like BOA6. They just added some extra security features like activation lock to the security settings.

Pull your battery out. wait a few seconds. put battery back and boot into odin/download mode. vol down+home+power
then odin the tar
it will work
Had the same problem, wasn't able to flash back to BOA6 using odin had to flash OD3 to get the phone back and running
not sure about rooting, but my hotspot is still enabled from previous root that i loss when updating to OD3
You can still flash OA6 roms as.long.as.you have a custom recovery and.root

Yes. Once flashed don't reboot. Pull the battery and go back into download mode and flash twrp. Img in the ap slot
You can find the file at Moars op under recovery and odin
After you flash the custom recovery image pull battery boot into recovery from recovery hit reboot. It will then prompt you that there's no root and would you like to root. Choose yes. Tada

I did as instructed, but the TWRP that i loaded did not ask for a root option, it did some updates, then it automatically reboots the phone, I pull the battery, then reboot it back into recovery again, and reboot it back into recovery from the recovery screen, it ask me to install super user, i say yes, then reboot back into system now it has a icon that says Superuser installer, I click on it and choose TWRP, gives me error
