I have used Odin to unbrick , root, put twrp on my beyond1 (S10) and it has worked for me. Yes you can use this, but I take no responsibility
On my phone SM-G973F I have installed Android 11. System is root with Magisc. When I have root with Magisc, I can't have TWRP. If I have TWRP, I can't root with Magisc.

Hey, I just came across your thread to revert to stock & thought maybe you can help me out. I was flashing some rom on my s10 & it bricked. So I went to Odin & tried flashing the stock firmware. Now the issue is that even though the stock firmware is successfully flashing, the phone won't boot at all. After odin finishes flashing, the phone reboots to show an erasing screen. The cycle runs for lesser than a second, freezes & the screen turns off after which no matter what I try I can't reboot the phone. I can still go into recovery & download mode but can't boot the system. Any help would be appreciated like crazy!
I had a similar problem. With Frija app, again I downloaded the Installation Pack for Android. After that, I installed Android with Odin and everything was okay. I have chosen CSC, I did not choose HOME CSC.

Will OTA updates work after returning to stock?

Yeah I got it figured out. I think the issue was with the kernel. I flashed a kernel with a custom rom first & that booted just fine. Once I went through the boot process, I started the phone in download mode & flashed the stock os. It brought my phone right back

I had LOS19 on there, wiped everything then flashed derpfest to try & it kept rebooting. So then I thought might be the FW/Bootloader so flashed that & I think I triggered the ARB. Downloaded the latest FW, installed via Odin & this, can only get into download mode or Samsung recovery. How can this happen when you flash all original FW via Odin, starange

I am assuming when you flashed back you forgot to flash a stock kernel at the same time. try using odin to get back to stock and you should be fine

Was gonna ask the same thing.
If you can you should be able to to use ODIN to get back to stock.
Sounds like you forgot to flash a 2.1 kernel before you rebooted.
yaddayaddayadddaaaaa
Surprised no one has said "OMG! WRONG SECTION! I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU!"
But yea, flash a kernel if you can can. Check the Bionix website for them. Also, in the future, make sure you READ everything pertaining to a rom you flash. If you had, you would have known you needed to flash a 2.1 kernel if you wanted to revert.
Odin 1.3
Yeah I've done the same thing before. When you downgrade from 2.2 you must flash a 2.1 kernal first. Best thing to do is re-flash back to stock with Odin. Make sure you use Odin version 1.3 and not version 1. Search the dev forum for how to flash with Odin. The Vibrant is very hard to brick permanently so you should be able to recover from this soft brick.

I had the same problem just two days ago and I thought I ruined my phone. Follow the instructions in this post
it saved my phone. Do not format your phone with cwm. Bad things happen.

You can flash any one of these ROMs and they will include the correct kernel and modem.
brandonkahn said:
yeah i didnt flash the kernel, rookie mistake. the only the i can get to on my phone is samsungs recov. mode at this point by holding up and down and power... so not sure how to get odin on there or whatever..appreciate any and all help, and if someone can provide a fix here im wlling to donate 15 bucks via paypal

With phone off,hold volumes up and down and plug cable into phone.Don't touch power when doing this.That should get you to download mode.
this one dude was honestly trying to get me to try to install a rom so eagerly it was scary.
brandonkahn said:
im sorry but how do i do this? is it possible to do a flash if i cant load in to anything but the samsung recov on my phone? again if you provide links for downloads and instructions etc. i will gladly donate 15 to paypal because i really cant afford the insurance fee at this point lol thanks so much

The same thing happened to me and i was stuck at the Galaxy GT 19000 boot splash.
What i did was go into Download mode using ADB:
*adb reboot download*
Then i used odin with THIS guide h t t p : / / forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6998-howto-how-to-recover-from-a-soft-brick-on-your-vibrant-and-return-to-stock-phone-pc-error/
OMG wrong section! I'm not going to help you
Sent from my Galaxy S with GINGERBREAD using XDA app
themodel ur the best ever!!
use Odin to restore your rom!
I think the easiest thing to do is flash any of the ROM that have Kernels in them, I have only had to use odin once, and that was just to try it out. I always keep stuff on my card, But i guess if you didnt going back to stock through odin would be the next best thing.

Depends on what you flash, but even if its stock with no root, root is very easy on the phone, just do whatever worked for you the first time.
Telus Fascinate 3G+ recently got updated to Gingerbread and here is how to root it.
Things that you need
1.Speedmod Kernel
2.Stock GB kernel [attatched below]
How?
1. First flash the Speedmod kernel via odin [vol down + connect the usb]
2. uncheck repartion, auto reboot option and flash it
3. go to recovery mod [vol up & down + power button]
4. go to speedmod advanced option menu
5. root your device
6. flash back to Stock Telus GB kernel via odin
This works??? I'm assuming it do since you posted it. God damn, thank you so much. Really. I have so many I use on a regular basis that I couldn't use because I couldn't get root.
In total since yesterday I've reset my phone 7 times from trying different things.
Will those phone boot on this kernel? and is their any advantages over the stock kernel?
Do you know a good, fool proof method I can rip this rom for others?
Thanks Again.

Hey
This is just showing you that how to root. and the stock kernel has nothing its just original kernel.
From my understanding, other sgs and telus fascinate has diffrent bootloader system. And also to create Custom Rom, we need source, but we dont right now. We have to w8 for it.
Thanks,
Confimed! Works.
Just to confirm for others this works perfect for rooting the 2.3.3 GB stock update for Telus Fascinate. I didn't try booting while I had the speedmod kernel flashed. Happy with root right now.

if you have root, would you mind dumping the firmware? since the telus fascinate is (mostly) a rebranded tmobile vibrant, I'd like to be able to have someone look at the firmware blobs for GPS for use with CM. Can't find an ODIN-able package to tear apart anywhere (haven't looked in a day or so though).
Worked brilliantly. (and I'm an Android noob too!)
Thanks!

Total n00b question, but what do I need to set in Odin to use these files - unchecking repartition and reboot is straightforward - but where do I set up the TAR for the kernel (In the past I have use SGS kernel flasher - but that needs root - hence my predicament LOL).
All help, advice, and fu appreciated.
Click on the PDA box in Odin and choose Speedmod Kernel. Uncheck those boxes on the left and then put your phone in download mode.
Click start and pray.
The rest of the directions are pretty straight forward. Follow those same principals for dumping the stock kernel back on the phone.

Great - and sorry, how do I get the phone in download mode (read another odin how to, it says a box will turn yellow which happens with just the down vol while connecting the USB).
Power the phone off.. Have your usb cable on hand.
Plug the phone in, press vol down + power on. You'll know immediately if it worked. Took me a few tries to figure it out.

LOL - I tend to be a bit impatient which causes more problems than not. Odin is still 'File Analysis' so seems to be taking a bit ... not sure how long flashing the speedmod kernel itself should take.

Just a bootloop, give this a go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
You will lose all data although, nothing on external sd card will be lost.
Also, how did you flash the ROM? If you followed the guide step-by-step, you shouldn't have ended up in a bootloop.
I wiped all partitions and then flashed the zip file.
Is it with a bootloop that you even can't get in to recovery? I'm stuck on samsung logo, not on RR logo

Ah I'm stupid! You need to get into recovery for that thread! You're definitely holding the correct buttons when the phone is fully off (home + power + volume up)?
I think I will give it a go. But the threat says that you should do it from your recovery, or if you are not comfortable with the recovery way you should do it via odin. I can't get in recovery, so maybe I have an other problem..
I'm honestly a little scared of odin.
once I had to do something with odin, but that failed. so I could not get out download mode..

This is taken straight from my rooting guide. It will help you correctly set up Odin:
First off, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into Google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ,which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, close Kies, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and go into Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Once you have done this, go to "sammobile.com", sign up and download a stock ROM for the GT-I9100. I'll assume you have the international SGS2, just remove your battery and make sure it isn't the GT-I9100G. Then flash via Odin by connecting your phone, making sure Odin is configured like above, and then putting your phone in download mode, connecting it to your PC and put the file you downloaded in the PDA section and flash.

Yes, if you can't get into Recovery Mode, a new flash is your only saviour. When you have flashed the ROM and hopefully everything went well, you can root your ROM by using Chainfire's CF-Root. Then you could restore a backup.
I have also a zip-file of my previous rom on my sd-card. That was codename lungo. Can I flash that zip so i don't neet to re-root lik you said?

Do you know what it is/does? Also, the guide I took that segment on setting up Odin was actually written for rooting your ROM with CF-Root.
Oh, its a ROM. My bad! Well, I'm not too sure. I think if you have a backup of it, that would be safer. Rooting is real easy anyway.
Is Codename Lungo not a HTC Sensation ROM?
Oke thank you.
I will download the stock firmware from sammobile, and try to flash it with Odin. I just want it to work again (root or no root) and not have to buy a new phone

Don't thank me till it's working! Once new ROM flashed and booted, let me know.
By the way, don't use the .PIT file if one is included in the download, if you get PDA, PHONE and CSC, put in appropriate sections of Odin and flash, if just one file, put in PDA section and flash.

Go to sammobile.com, sign up, dl a stock rom, flash through Odin, root.
THE biggest issue is that i cant get to recovery, i allready downloaded stock rom and tried. right now i am downloading i9100xwlss version to try because my friend has thatone on his phone working... i just have no starting point to begin with. allready got bricked phone and i dont know on which carrier it was, whic android version it had. etc.. will try this and then i give up. lots of time i have lost trying.

You put phone into download mode and flash through Odin. There are many guides on here for directions
Here's one guide. Read the full first page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21659039
yeah i know, many guides i have done, walked through, but nothing helps. odin flashes without problem. phone restarts and still no recovery with bootloop... flashed this and that.. and still same issues.
Flash JB leak firmware via odin (comes as 3 parts - Pda, phone and csc). Then see if it boots. If it doesn't, try to enter recovery and factort reset.
Report back what happens.

I've seen a couple of these cases happening lately, my bet is on the bootloader, eventhough I don't encourage people to try flashing it. Or, as always, OP is holding something back.
Neo, I'm not familiar with the ROM being downloaded from a non-stable internet connection and I know you get them from an internet cafe. Now, is it possible that Odin would allow (flash) a corrupted ROM?

I literally did this yesterday. After you flash stock you have to boot into 3e (stock recovery) and wipe data. This will stop the bootloop and you can carry on with rooting if that's what you want.
It's better to wipe dalvik, you need CWM for that, that's why it's always suggested to flash a custom ROM when on a bootloop.

jeah i know but whatever i flash i still have no recovery...
ok now its official. phone memory is problem, i went to service today and they told me that when i flash with odin the values that i flash dont stay in the memory, on the next boot
those values get clear, memory bug of some kind, he said that he can manual and direct approach to the motherboard and write recovery directly but he cant say if it will always
work like it is suppose to.
Hum....I think you're getting conned, as the matter of fact, he must be reading this right now.

I want to revert an ATT i717 rooted, with CWM ver.6, custom KK rom back to ATT stock rom (I did try KIES but it didn't recognize phone as I understand due to rom being custom.) I don't have a back up of the original stock rom. All download links I have come across are dead. Need help to locate working DL links.
2-Wifey has the same exact phone rooted with CWM ver. 6 with stock JB rom. I am wondering if I take a back up of that and flash it to my phone if that will be ok or if that's a chance for a brick?

You have posted in the development forum. Try Q&A.
Also if you can't find Odin file here, try to search google. You may find an active somewhere else. Other than that, you can wait. if I ever get off work I could probably scrounge up a copy to my dropbox.
Let me know if you find. Sorry, I won't have time until tomorrow afternoon . In middle of a work marathon on 2 jobs.

here's a link to stock jb:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CfFE5fSiMQS1NuZVZmUnRNYVU/view?usp=sharing
it includes the rom, cwm recovery, supersu, odin, kernel, and modem.
odin the rom first, then the recovery.
copy supersu to the phone and install thru cwm.
you'll need to update binaries.
also included is the current cwm recovery i use to install kit kat roms.

once you get done installing and the phone booted up,
start supersu and follow the instructions.

Finally d/l at work, odined the rom and encountered "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Phone cannot enter recov. mode nor download mode. I tried kies and 2 issues came up 1 my phone has no serial number, I entered wife's S/No. (same exact phone, both made in Korea) but the second problem is that kies wants me to turn off phone, and enter d/l mode which isn't coming up.
I tried my JIG thingy but same screen comes up.
How do I fix this?
ATTN: MOD
If need be please move thread as appropriate.

Could be, really don't know for sure. Note has this screen. Anything I attempt it's resulting in the following screen below. DL mode, hit volume up and bam, same screen. Recovery, same deal, try to boot normally = same. Even a jig gets the DL mode first screen and then bam! Is there any way to fix this or Is the phone at the point of jtag repair, or worse a brick?
