You mean like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461203 and check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46271485&postcount=47 for the root which uses TWRP recovery and it works pretty good.
But keep in the the "melius.tar" file is for the mega 6.3 phone and the "crater.tar" file is for the mega 5.8 phone and these files are odin flashable and will need odin 3.07 which i use and works well, but when you load up the tar file in the PDA window of odin it will take a bit for it to show up in that window as it looks like odin is not responding..but it is just preparing the file which is quite large .
TY For the good information. Just curious if those stock ROM/Kernel will be okay to flash even tho I have a t-mobile sim card installed. And do they have the bloatware removed, and will my voicemail/texting still function properly?
Also, when i flash the new .tar file does that root the phone also, or should i root it first? If so could you post the link for rooting? Your help has been greatly appreciated

TWRP gives you the option to root your device if it isn't rooted so flash the tar file first and the rest will take care of itself.
Good luck

No do not root it first because when you flash the stock rom it will replace what you rooted with the stock recovery without root. And the t-mobile sim card should work i think..but these are stock roms for the their respective carriers and they all have bloatware..i just not sure on how much each different rom has for bloatware, i use the BWA rom which is for sasktel in my area.
1. Download odin v 3.07 as v 3.09 i don't really like using.
2. Unzip odin 3.07 to a spot on your pc that you can find it easy and open the odin program.
3. Choose which stock rom you want to flash but make sure to unzip the rom so that you get the .tar.md5 file inside and you don't need that .dll file.
4. Now with odin open click on the PDA button and locate were you have the rom's .tar.md5 file and click on so it shows up in the File name window and click on the open button, and give it time for odin to load the file as it will take a bit and when done it will show the file in the PDA window.
5. Make sure only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" is checked and the rest of the boxes don't need to be checked.
6. Now that odin is ready to flash, you have to get your phone into Download Mode..by first have the phone powered off and then hold the vol-down + power button at the same time and it should vibrate and then a warning screen should appear and release the buttons and then push on the vol-up button and you are now in download mode.
7. Now connect your phone to your pc and with odin still open from before you should see in the first ID:COM window light in blue and show something like 0:{COM4} in it..this means your device is connected and ready for flashing..make sure all other settings like described earlier in this post is set in odin.
8. Now you are ready to flash the rom and click on the start button and it will begin flashing and will take a bit to do and once done your phone will reboot and then you can unplug your phone from your pc and let the rom load as this will take a while also..and once it starts you can fill in the info you need when your first start a new rom..and you can now close odin.
Now that part is done..on to flashing TWRP recovery.
1. Open odin again and follow the procedure above in this post like how you did the rom to flash the TWRP recovery .tar file, but make sure that the Melius.tar file is for the mega 6.3 phone and the Crater.tar file is for the mega 5.8 phone from that link in my earlier post, and use the right .tar file according to what phone you have the mega 6.3 or the mega 5.8..BUT you change one setting only "Uncheck" the "Auto Reboot" as you don't want your phone to reboot after it is done flashing and the rest is all the same settings, like only have the "F. Reset Time" box checked and all the rest not checked.
2. Now put your phone into Download Mode again like describe earlier in this post.
3. Connect your device to the pc and make sure the ID:COM window lights up with your device id in it.
4. Double check that you have the right file and settings are what they are suppose to be and click on the start button and odin will begin flashing and will be done very quick and the bigger window above the ID:COM window will light up and say reset or pass and flashing is done.
5. Now unplug your phone from the pc and you will still be in the Download Mode which is okay.
6. Now you want to go back into the TWRP recovery right after your phone boots other wise it will not work, while still in the Download Mode hold the vol-up + power button until the phone shuts down and then quickly release the buttons and the then re-push on the vol-up + power button right away again and phone should vibrate and when you see the mega splash screen and in the top left corner of the screen in blue saying Recovery Booting.....and release the buttons and you should now be going into the TWRP recovery.
7. Once in the TWRP recovery and give it a few seconds tap on the reboot button and then it will give some selections and tap on recovery and it will then say the device is not rooted and it will ask if you want to root it with Superuser and you just slide that big round button icon across the screen and it will reboot into TWRP recovery and your phone will now be rooted.
8. Now you can leave TWRP recovery by tapping the reboot button and then tapping the system button and your phone will reboot and go into the rom.
9. Once you get back into your rom at some point it will ask to update the Superuser binaries and you will have a selection of PLAY or TWRP to update these Superuser binaries and choose the PLAY button and tap on it and it will take you to the Google play store (but make sure to have a google account otherwise you cannot get to the google play store) and you can then tap the update button and it update the Superuser binaries for you and after that is updated your are rooted and full Superuser permission..and that's it you are good to go and have fun with your rooted phone...and hope this info has helped you out.
Thank you VERY much for the detailed help, it is EXACTLY what i needed. As for the ROM/KERNEL is there a t-mobile mega 6.3 stock available to flash? Or will the link you posted above work fine for me and i just freeze the unnecessary bloatware?

Unfortunately not as the links in the first post are all Canadian roms and will work on your i527m mega..all i can suggest is just flash some of the roms and test them with your t-mobile sim card and see how it works as i am not sure on this part and you should be able to freeze or disable apps i am thinking..i will take a look and see if there is a t-mobile rom but i am not sure on it at this time. :good:
On the above rom/kernel link, if i dl the rom does it contain the kernel? Or do i have to dl both files and flash them both? Also do I need a SIM card in the phone to flash and root?

The rom contains the kernel also..so you do not have to download the kernel, and you don't need a sim card in to flash the phone.

THANKS!! Everything went off without a hitch, i am rooted and running the firmware. I have not received my t-mobile micro sim yet, but all my research points to the fact that i wont be able to use the US gsm networks? Is this true for my I527m model? If so is there a way to flash the US radio frequencies to my phone to get the LTE? or some other way i have yet to find? Thanks again for all your help.!!

Information from s15274n
When you want to go back to stock, you can go the development section and find a stock JFD ODIN/zip, but I always just use the ALT METHOD below. It's always worked well for me personally.
This method will give you a stock Froyo + Root (no further action needed).
*** ALT METHOD ***
STOCK JK2 WITH ROOT ALREADY ENABLED
This method can be used to return to stock if needed. It can also be used for someone who is stock and wants to get root. If you are using this to gain root, please pay attention to the very last step about wiping
I prefer to use the method above to root, and this to return to a stock rom.
You can follow ipeench's thread (CLICK HERE). Be sure you download the right zip for the 2.2 leak (it is not obvious to me in the post). This is the thread used in the video (see video below):
UPDATE: When you download the files from the link above for JK2+root, there is an older version of ODIN included in that zip. I would NOT use that version of ODIN. Please download this updated version (it has never caused an install hangup on me like some older ODIN version can do):
ODIN 3 V1.7
Below are some videos I took last night. They are NOT the best, but hopefully it helps. One thing that may sound confusing is when I show how to use ODIN, at the end I state that I'm going to show how to root... well, this version already has root, so no further action is needed for obtaining root (thanks Eugene)!
This is a video of me going to the leaked JK2 via ODIN

Here is another youtube video showing ODIN. It is flashing the JFD build (what the Vibrant originally shipped with):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnY7P14JSWQ
Here are the written steps you can follow if the video was not helpful:
I DID NOT INCLUDE THIS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO, BUT YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:

then reboot

odin is samsung's proprietary/internal software that can hard flash your device. odin may be used whether or not you have already rooted your device, and it will absolutely clear all your data in your internal sd card. to operate odin, you first need to obtain a rom flashable via odin (usually zipped in .tar file).
alternatively you can revert back to stock kernel/rom while you still have your device rooted. you can obtain a rom flashable via clockworkmod recovery (cwm), a bootloader software that can be installed on a rooted device, and just flash it. once you flashed your device back to stock rom, then you can unroot it so that your device is 100% back to stock.
all rom packages both odin flashable and cwm flashable have kernels, roms and modems in them.
look into sticky threads in this and development forums and you will be able to find detailed instructions on how to flash using either odin or cwm recovery. do some research and get yourself familiarized with the process. it's pretty simple as you've already flashed.
Go download ODIN and browse the forums for the files you will need. There is 512.pit file you will need and you need the JFD.tar file to enter into the PDA section of ODIN. Once ODIN is downloaded open, it's an exec. file. Once ODIN is open turn phone off. Plug USB cable that came with your phone into drive, hold down both Volume Down and Volume Up buttons and plug cable into phone. Display should say Download Mode in Yellow and have Android with a shovel. On your computer you should see in first box a Com Port open up either COM 3 or COM 4, doesn't matter. You should see some check boxes underneath the COM. Check the one for Repartition. Click the .PIT button and search for the 512.pit file you downloaded and click the PDA button and search for the JFD.tar file and click start. It will run through the process and when it's done you will be back to stock like you took the phone out of the box. Any questions and I can email you all the files and instructions.

I seem to have bricked my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with LTE that was just purchased from Verizon a couple of days ago.
This all started as an attempt to root the phone so that I could get Netflix working (root required to install that Asus Transformer patch that some seem to need). Here is the process that I went through in order to install CWM:
Prerequisites:
Downloaded ODIN3 1.85.
Downloaded CWM 4.0.0.4 for the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Plugged the tablet into my PC (Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64) while booted into the OS to confirm that drivers worked and it was detected properly.
Plugged the tablet into my PC (Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64) while booted into the "Download Mode" to make sure that drivers worked and it was detected properly.
Main Process:
Launched ODIN3 (ran as administrator).
From within ODIN3, clicked on the "PDA" button and selected the MD5 file for the CWM 4.0.0.4 image.
Booted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 into "Download Mode".
Confirmed that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 said "Waiting USB Cable".
Plugged the Galaxy Tab 10.1 into my PC via USB.
Confirmed that the ODIN3 application detected the USB device.
Confirmed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 changed from "Waiting USB Cable" to "Connected! Press the [Start] of Odin3!!"
From within ODIN3, clicked on the "Start" button.
Result:
The patching process completed without any errors. I then shut down the device and then started back up and tried to boot into recovery mode. Nothing - just a blank screen.
I then thought that I might have to install the CWM from the Android Market in addition to flashing the ROM (this might have been an incorrect assumption but I am not very experienced in this process) so I downloaded and installed it. I then tried to flash the recovery ROM via the Clockwork application but it complained about not having superuser access.
At this point I figured I was in a bit over my head and I decided to just reset the device to factory defaults (assuming that it would reset to the stock boot loader as well). I then initiated the factory reset process from within Android, the device reset itself, I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 logo and then nothing - a blank screen.
Ugh - I think I just bricked my device and I am not quite sure how to get the stock recovery ROM back on there (I think I am going to be sick).
If anyone could give any advice on how to get me out of this situation or post the stock recovery ROM from the Verizon 4G Galaxy Tab I would greatly appreciate it.
Can you boot into recovery manually(volume down and power button)? If you can (try doing a factory restore from within recovery) or as long as the device lights up there is a good chance you will be able to bring it back and be okay. also did you root the device?

Thanks for your reply, but when trying to boot into recovery (Volume Up + Power Button) all I get is a blank screen. The only area I can now get into is the "Download Mode".

Well that is still good. Just put the tab into download mode and Odin it back to the original stock rom with super user.
Update:
I was able to get my tablet back from the brink late yesterday evening by doing the following:
Taking the CWM 4.0.0.4 image that was giving me the checksum error, extracting it from the tar.md5 file, and putting it back in a regular tar file.
Flashing the newly created .tar file back to the device via ODIN3.
I am still unable to boot into recovery mode (I just get a blank screen) but the main ROM booted and the system is usable. Unfortunately I don't have a backup of my stock recovery ROM to restore to the device.
Does anyone know if it still exists on the device somewhere that it can be pulled from and then reflashed?
Thanks to everyone for their responses and lack of mockery.
I've done the same thing. I did all my root research, flashed, then after it didn't work realized that it was for the wifi only version. I didn't know the 4g version was only 7 days old!
Once developers work on the tablet a little bit they'll have a fix for everything. We just need to wait at this point.
Somebody will likely have a full odin flash available soon.

Hey there... Can you elaborate on your 'extraction' process?
I too, did something similar -- here's my story:
I just got my 10.1 4G LTE and was able to root it using the exploit.zip file (I think someone referred to it as the '3G' method). I didn't use ODIN at all, just rebooted in stock recovery (power up then upon seeing Samsung logo, press Vol+) and applied the .zip file. I know I had root because I was able to install and use titanium backup and root explorer.
Unfortunately, I saw another comment in a thread that said to download the ROM manager and install CWM recovery through that application. In my haste I did so and now, all I get is a continual boot loop at the Samsung logo. I can get nowhere past this. I tried holding down the power key for 10 secs and it appears to power down, but then it shortly starts back up again.
If I power up and hit Vol+ when seeing the Samsung logo, I do see the two icons (the right icon says "Downloading")... When I select the left icon, it screen blanks out and boot loops - shouldn't I see the recovery menu? I have not tried selecting the Downloading icon just cause I'm not sure what's beyond that step.
I have not been able to boot up completely, as some have said they were able to do. I've not used ODIN, and it seems like the way to go, but just wanted to get advice from those who know more than me, prior to making another mistake.
Maybe it's a quick fix to boot? Another key combo I don't know about?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks

By extraction I mean that I used WinRAR to extract the image file from the tar.md5 file and compressed it back into a tar file. I then flashed it via ODIN. This got rid of the checksum error and allowed me to boot into the normal ROM. Recovery mode was still messed up though.
Here is the link to all the Samsung factory firmware with instructions on how to load that you need. Hope this helps. Follow me! to the bottom of that page.

You guys seem to be flashing the recovery meant for the wifi version, which, as you can see, does not work with the mobile network models...
Before following a rooting guide, make sure that the method is proven to work on the mobile network version...

Try this thread. It's meant for the LTE recovery.
This is a ODIN flashable for VZW LTE Tab 10.1 ONLY for working CWM recovery.
I'll add another post with the stock recovery also for the LTE version.
STOCK RECOVERY for VZW LTE Tab 10.1 ODIN Flashable. (HC-3.1 LTE)
Hope this helps anyone that needs it or made the same mistake I did. This only fixes if you used Rom Manager to Flash recovery (that is made for the non-LTE version) and get the black screen when trying to get into recovery.
I'll try to dump my entire stock F/W today and post that someplace too for people that are totally hosed like I was yesterday. (Boot/System/etc/etc)

Matt, would you mind making one of these without root and with the stock recovery? A complete return to its fresh out-of-the-box state?
I used your recovery image and was able to install it via ODIN, but now I need to unroot so I can return this thing.

Hey guys, new here (obviously). I'm also fairly new to flashing/rooting on Android in general.
I flashed my phone to one of the leaked ICS international versions (when I boot up my phone it says "Samsung Galaxy SII GT I9100" from Gingerbread. I did this a couple of days ago. There are a few problems main one being I can't use the phone app for my phone (ironic).
So since the ICS official version for the US AT&T phone came out, I was wondering.
How can I flash my phone to the stock ICS version? Any help would be great and I hope I did not post in the wrong section :\
Thanks so much in advance guys.
Download KIES, install the proper drivers, plug in your phone, update.
Although you probably messed up your phone flashing firmware for the wrong model....
BTW, you might want to at least make an attempt to read before making a thread. There is a thread already dedicated to upgrading your phone to the official AT&T Gingercream Sandwich update
At least pretend to look like you are genuinely interested. Or you know, follow the rules you agreed to upon signing up in the forums

I don't think the standard method is working. Just shows the battery on screen.
and in response to the kies reply; when I plug in the phone and sync it up with kies, kies says "Your device does not support firmware upgrade through kies" or something along those lines.
In response to the other guy, I'm terribly sorry, maybe you could help by posting a link to that thread? I tried looking around seeing if there was anything related to my issue and I couldn't find anything. Forgive my noob status?
Thanks guys.
I used the method that worked though. Held down power, vol down, and home..

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
looks like you need to read around and learn how to flash the secondary bootloader for UCKH7. It will change it back to the correct boot screen too. At least, that's what I think. I had to do it the other day after working on rooting the new LE5 stock.
Read the links in Creepy's signature.
To return your phone to I777 stock, flash the UCKH7 CL503881 stock binaries. The one-click downloader is the easiest. You will find the firmware in the Download Repository, link in my signature. This is the package that includes bootloaders and param.lfs.
Edit: I have been assuming you have the I777. This is true isn't it?
After you are at UCKH7 stock, you can use kies to update to stock ICS, or you can flash UCLE5 which is also in the Download Repository, at the bottom.
kk. I think what I'm gonna do is flash is completely back to stock gingerbread using one of his links and odin.
and plug it in through kies and see if that works to update it to ICS official.
Thanks guys! Sorry I caused such an uproar.
Thanks Creepy!! I will do just that
yes that is correct; I have the SGH-I777 At&t Samsung Galaxy S2.
It appears the one click exe that reverts my phone to stock software actually STOPS and "FAIL"s on the part where it's flashing the "cache."
My phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Fortunately when I went download mode the top right corner says SGH-I777
instead of the international version.
I've tried the one-click several times and it still does not work. :\
Any advice?
Edit: Kies is not recognizing my phone ; "device not responding"
thanks again.
Make sure you have the USB Debugging mode turned off. It took me a few minutes to figure that out when I was trying to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS via Kies earlier.
Not sure what's hanging it up. From your report, it appears that the secondary bootloader was successfully flashed. Do you recall what other steps completed before the fail?
You should be able to boot into recovery by holding vol+, vol- and pwr. Hold down until you enter recovery. Then wipe data/factory reset. Then try to flash the UCKH7 stock package without bootloaders. The link is in the return to the store guide linked in my signature. Or flash one of the stock plus root packages.
Hey thanks Creepy!
I really hate using the one-clickers, had no luck with 'em :|
I'd much rather use the blank Odin 1.85 exe I have that lets you fill in the files.
If I use that and the ---Return/Unbrick to Stock + Root: I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z (This contains the kernel, rooted system image, and modem.)--- download, what do I use for the bootloader slot or do I leave that empty?

That's a one-click downloader. If you want to flash the full package, there is a tar.md5 file in the Download Repository with everything in it, but it's all in one package, including the bootloaders, so you put it in the pda slot and it's the only file you flash.
In the Download Repository, there are also tars for Entropy512's packages which you can flash in Odin3. They are also one file tars and go in the pda slot. You can read about each one.
I'm not sure you need to flash the bootloaders again. I'd try to wipe data/factory reset and then flash a stock package without bootloaders first.
Applied the one-click with root Flash and now I'm back to gingerbread.
gonna see if I can get ICS working through kies..
looking good!!!

Since ur rooted why not just flash the rom in cwm? The official release is found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650948

thanks bud!
I guess you just drop that file onto the phone using file explorer and USB connection,
then go into recovery to update via cwm?

---Make sure you have the drivers installed for your SGP 5.0 USA (capacitive buttons)----
-This has worked for me whenever I enter boot-loop during installing a ROM.
-Download a stock firmware (this one is for US ((capacitive buttons)) Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520728
-Download a .pit file/partition file (contains it for all SGP's): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472897&goto=nextnewestz
-Boot into downloading mode (Volume down first, then power button, release when an triangle and Android guy using a shovel is shown)
-Open up odin
-Click on "PDA", and select "ueki8_min.tar.md5", that should be the stock ROM you downloaded (where ever you saved it), then click "PIT" and select your SGP 5.0 .pit file, which should read "G70-GalaxyPlayer5.0-8gig.pit"
-Press "Start", the process should take 2-5 minutes, it might freeze at some point in time but it's still working. You will know it's finished when it says "PASS" in the first, top right box.
-Then boot into recovery mode (Volume UP, then power), but what is important is that you release the second the triangle/android shovel is gone and shows a black screen or else it will go to a battery charging.
-Then you select "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition", then "reboot system now" and then your SGP should be able to boot at this point.
*An extra note, the stock ROM I linked is rooted, but it's basically the same as STOCK ROM, with all the Samsung Bloatware.
And to remove the root, you have to get Root Browser from the Play Store and delete "Superuser.apk" in "System/app" and delete "su binary" in "system/bin. After you delete those two files, reboot and you should be unrooted.
(tell me if there is a problem with my guide, or if you have a problem.)
I have followed the instructions but I can't boot into recovery for some reason it only bootloops when I try using the stock rom. entropy kernel + rom is fine but stock rom and kernel only cause boot loops :/
Nevermind i'm ok lol messed around with it for about 20 mins and eventually got it working. Not even sure how to explain how i did it

lol it's k.
Old(ish) thread but since someone used it recently and may in the future might I recommend you note that any attempt to resurrect a device will be best accomplished using a STOCK Samsung usb cable. Speaking from many experiences it is very possible that a device will not be recognized using the pc tools without the stock cable. Just a recommendation. Thanks.
I have search for days to figure out how to unbrick my sgp 5, this however is the most complete and simple guide that have fix my problems after several bricks trying to install custom roms while the forum as down, with bad info on google. I would like to add to make sure that KIES is installed as the drivers become unrecognizable after a brick. Thanks for this post, hardest thing was finding the exact files for the US version as there several out there, the ones you listed worked perfectly together and recovery mode takes a few tries.

No one should ever use the pit that comes with that zip file!

Well how do I make sure I have these drivers?
I have a boot loop when charging device when off and device attempts to load the charging status system.
Anyway I recently installed a new ROM and kernel and the capacitive buttons are dead now (their leds are still on, but they don't actually do anything).
I thought finding out about the driver you were talking about might lead me to a solution.
Does the Odin Version matter?

I remember when I was attempting to root the SGP5 the first time, I ran into trouble with using too new of an odin version. Do you remember which version you used for this? I've tried 1.7&1.85 but to no effect....

1.85 works fine for me. Check to see if your drivers are properly installed

you need to download Odin 3.07, latest cwm recovery for US Cellular to your desktop.. download Knox remover(DeSamsungnizer) and super user.zip to your phone and leave them in your download folder, open Odin put your phone in download mode(volume down, power, and home button all together til you see warning) plug the cable that came with the phone into the computer and phone and wait for COM: ID to come up and then put the cwm .tar.md5 into the PDA part of Odin.. make sure auto reboot, f.reset time and repartition are NOT checked.. click start and let it run its process when it says pass do a battery pull, boot into recovery (volume up, power and home at the same time, til the samsung logo comes up ) once cwm touch recovery comes up, click on install zip from sd, go to your download folder and install your Knox remover.zip, then do the same with your superuser.zip and reboot you SHOULD be rooted now its a very simple process I might be able to post links of the downloads for you. if you have any questions let me know.

I have the same phone, and im rooted android v4.3
Use the towel Root method, this seems to work on every gs3 variant
1. Just tap the "Make it ra1n" button
2. It will say you should have root, and you do!
3. Then go ahead and download SuperSU
4. ENJOY!
