Can i flash the reRFS rom and Samsung recovery flashable zip in cwm and be completely stock unrooted, or do i *have* to use odin? Both files are included at the link to the stock rom in my sig if you need to check. Need to know asap. This is what the op says of that thread, just need to be 100% sure:
If you need to turn in the phone for service or exchange, then flash the ReRFS ROM, and make sure the phone boots. Then go back to ClockworkMod with the 3 finger boot, and flash the Samsung stock recovery, to uninstall ClockworkMod. Only flash the Samsung stock recovery if you need to turn in the phone.

Do it then boot into recovery. If its the stock samsung recovery id think your goo to go. And try to use an app that requires root. Obviously it won't work if your not
Make sure you can wipe the phone through the stock recovery first if its not completely stock it will sponge the phone or delete system apps. Found this out the hard way doing a swap on a new epic talking to a sprint rep running srf 1.1.1 lol

I have always used Odin to go back to stock/unroot whenever I needed. It is very easy and qbking77's video I post will be easy to follow and he links you to everything you will need.

This seems pretty straightforward. Wipe everything 3x, flash the stock rom, boot, boot to cwm, and flash the stock recovery and make sure it works right. If that doesn't work I'll use odin.

Start Odin, put phone in dl mode, connect phone, load pit, load tar, uncheck reset time box, start

Ok guys, im gonna attempt a flash([ROM]Bonsai4All EXT4/Clockworks 3.0.0.5 support V2.0.1 >02/03/2011) today on my friends samsung epic 4g which is fully stock at the moment, i already have read the instructions but i need a little guidance in the right direction.

so now i can boot into clockworkmod recovery, but b4 i flash anything im going to do a backup through the clockworkmod recovery, i read in the Bonsai4All thread that i need to "Odin the dk28 modem first", can someone tell me how i can do that, like give me a link to the required files and how i would go about installing them. Also is there anything else that i am not doing that is required to flash to the Bonsai4All ROM from a stock samsung epic 4g , all feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance guys.
This is the Epic wiki. Scroll down to Odin Stock Flashing and follow those instructions. Under Official Roms (just above Odin Stock Flashing) is the dk28 file. It's titled 'SPH-D700-DK28-8Gb-REL.tar.md5 Stock DK28 (Leaked).' That's what you put in Odin to flash to stock dk28. Scroll down further to Community Roms and you will see the Bonsai4All rom. Once you are on stock dk28, have cwm3 installed, and download the Bonsai rom to the SDcard, you can flash Bonsai through cwm.

The wiki says I have to "Select the victory_8G_100528.pit on the right in the pit section" on step number 4, do I have to do that to flash to Bonsai, or do I just do what you told me.

When I flashed to stock dk28 , I used the Victory pit along with the SPH-D700-DK28.tar. So, I would do both.
I have used it without victory BUT I was already on dk28. I had a 2.2 rom and I was flashing back to stock dk28.
So, final answer, for the first time going to dk28, I would use both the pit and tar.
On a side note, make sure only the reset time and auto-reboot check boxed are checked. There shoud be three total check boxes. For the first time, only check those. If you install a rom and want to go back to stock dk28 in the future, then only check auto-reboot.
So basically what you're saying. Is all that I really need to do is substitute the dk28 tar u told me instead of the one used on step 5?

ok, one more question before i begin is, do i backup with clockworkmodrecovery before i flash dk28, or if im correct the flash will delete everything including root, and upgrade the phone to 2.2, so the backup would be irrelevant until b4 i flash the bonasi?

Yes, using flash with ODIN will erase everything including root. So, backup everything before you start. It should backup to your SDcard. When you do the stock flash, root, install cwm3 and flash your 2.2 based rom, you should be able to boot into cwm, go to backup/restore- advanced restore and restore data.
I would install My Backup or something similar before attempting though. Just in case cwm doesn't keep your backup after the flash. It's worked for me in the past. After backup, you can also move the backup file to your computer's hard drive for safekeeping. It's in the root of the sd folder under Clockwork recovery.
thumbs up picking bonsai rom. ive tried midnight, viper, nebula already and none of them even compare to the speeds of bonsai. if your going for speed and no force closes choose bonsai.
to kind of answer your question, always backup, it wont hurt anything.

ok, thanks, i think i got the steps down, after i have this installed, i root it using(insert link and awesome advice here)?
I'm on my phone now so I can't see the links and so forth. I think the bonsai rom will install root, cwm, convert to ext 4 file system and install bonsai. Double check the rom thread though. If not, theres a one-click root w/ cwm3 in the dev section

Great! Enjoy!
Want to root wife's epic and keep stock rom & kernel. Is there a way to do this w/o installing cwm? Is it possible to root but be able to do a factory reset and all will go back to unrooted if the phone needs to go back to the store... or would I have to Odin the stock back in (and nothing else).
Sent from my Evo (MikG3/Lionfish)
No it is not. Only a custom kernel will allow you to keep root and CWM. There is a very stock like FC09 ROM that even has instructions on how to get back the Sprint bootanimation. The only thing you would have to remove is Superuser.
Here is the ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580931&highlight=fc09+stock+deodexed
Qbking77 even has a video on How to root samsung epic on FC09 on youtube.
Perhaps a little re-wording. I'm okay with custom kernel rooted rom but don't want a custom recovery rom like cwm.. If possible I want to get it rooted button be able to use stock recovery and tell it to do a factory reset and it'll wipe out kernel and rom back to unrooted stock so I don't have to Odin the stock back on if it needs to go in (ie if usb port goes out).
Since its the wife's I wanted to make it easier to go back to stock. For my Evo I've had no personal issues with using custom recovery and full mods/roms) and prefer it.
If I have to go full cwm can you suggest a rom/kernel combo? She's happy with stock look & feel.. Just want to be able to have root and remove bloat.. But keep the sprint app for paying the bill and sprint tv.
Sent from my Evo (MikG3/Lionfish)
Factory reset does not wipe kernel. You will need to Odin no matter what or keep the kernel. Factory reset does not remove root either since su is in the system directory. So what I recommended is the closest with instructions on how to restore stock recovery. You can google How to root the Samsung Epic on EL30 youtube video by qbking77 and you will get root and custom kernel without CWM. But like I said without Odin you will be have that kernel and su. You will be able to delete su with root explorer though.

I may ask earthbound if he will make a one-click root... seeing how all you have to do is make it flash recovery, flash su, remove the recoveryboot.sh (or whatever) and then its done. That way people wont have to use odin that or if i could figure out how to make one that would be cool.

The one click root methods stopped working because the exploit was blocked on GB. He would have to develop a new way to get adb to install all those files in their right places.

If I'm understanding you correctly you want root, stock, no cwm.... well with these new builds of gingerbread it should be possible because of the overwrite script for the recovery... odin in cwm without auto reboot checked... pull battery, boot into cwm immediately, flash the su.zip found on qbking77 how to root and then boot... you "should" have root now, with no custom kernel or rom, and the script should have overwrote cwm, exactly what you wanted...

I don't understand this sentiment. my wife loves CM7 and understands if something don't work she lets me know and I will fix it when I have a chance. It is just like her compute I fix that all the time too.
Here is a stock rom backup for the Sprint G S III. I made the backup after doing a data wipe, so the rom is pure, no lingering data, ect.
Instructions:
-unzip the .zip file
-move the backup folder into your existing CWM folder on the S III internal memory
-restore in recovery
Again, this is a stock backup as some people need it.

It's not, it's a backup. That's not the point, it's still useful to many users that have possibly screwed their device but still have access to recovery. Especially until something official comes out.
will there be a stock package on odin different than just the stock boot image? my phone is bricked for no apparent reason(see my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731416) and flashing the stock boot image in odin does nothing. i Also cant get into CWM to flash my backup...

Eventually there will be, but a lot of people [to include major developers] still don't have the phone yet, so we'll have to be patient. I looked over it, though currently are you able to get into recovery still or no? Additionally did you try re-flashing the cwm recovery in odin?
I can get into download mode but not into CWMR. The only thing i have tried flashing since it bricked is boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar (which sort of worked the first time). I'm at work and don't have my phone on me so i guess i could try flashing CWMR again later but this is really weird. Thanks for the reply. This is my first Sprint phone, but on my Droid X we had a program similar to Odin where you could push a .sbf file that included everything stock and basically just reset your phone to stock. Do these exist for Sprint phones? The . SBF files were usually rather large(around 350mb or so) but the boot-stock-sprint-sph-l710.tar is around 10 or 15 mb so i know it doesn't include all the system files...
Thanks again

Lol i just replied the same thing over on another thread he posted in. Stop jumping around pizzle! if you can get into Odin chances are good you can flash cwm and then restore the backup
hahaha sorry about that. When I try and boot into recovery it looks like its about to go to Recovery and then freezes on the Galaxy S III screen. I'll try reflashing CWMR when I get home...Thanks for the advice
So is a back up a nandriod?
I have made a few but never resorted one, you just flash it same as a ROM and your done?
I misplaced my stock nandroid when I flashed CM10 build 2 and my extFs SD card had to be formatted to use again, I was sure I had in on PC but can't find it.
Thanks!
I have some questions and need help fast if possible. I'm currently on CM10 beta 2 and only have a nandroid backup from being stock rooted. I know you can't simply restore a backup from jelly bean to ICS. I was playing with ROM Toolbox, and was installing some custom transitions. I did a backup of the stock transitions, but the zip backup file won't flash in recovery. Anyway I can't boot up and only get the Galaxy S II boot screen. I can however get into download and CM CWM based recovery. I've done quite a few searches, with no real answers for this issue. Any help will be greatly apreciated because I don't have my phone until I figure out exactly what to do. Do I have to download a stock ROM with cusom kernel to computer then transfer over file via usb using Odin and then use CWM to flash the stock ROM? I know not to do a factory wipe unless I'm on el26 or 29. I also know you can odin to them then flash, but all the odin kernels with CWM are from ICS and I can't find a solid method for my specific situation.

Thanks Blues. But I need to flash el29 or six before flashing right? So I'm guessing I need to Odin to one? And I can do that from any ICS or JB right? So I just need the one click for PC Odin, then flash with Odin? Sorry, I just want to be 100% here.

Use the one click.exe full rom file that will flash the full el29 gb rom. Then from there you can flash cwm to flash cm10 or whatever rom you want.
But do I have to go el29 or 26? How do I get there from where I'm at now? Thanks again, and sorry I just want to be 100% here.
Edit: Okay, great. After flashing that I obviously could do my nandroid restore? Just because I lost some pictures or something happened when I flashed to JB because I only had a few pics and none of my SMS or call logs or anything came through.
Ok, just so the thread is not a complete waste, I did flash the stock ROM via PC ODIN. Went back to stock, was able to do a nandroid restore, and went ahead and flashed CWM recovery via Mobile ODIN. Went ahead and wiped factory in CWM recovery and flashed CM10. Thanks again Blues, next time I'll just post in your noob thread. . I'm not a noob but I just never had to PC ODIN when not being able to boot and wasn't sure how safe it was in my specific state.

Basically this is what happened, I rooted my phone using TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.zip with Odin without any problems. Then I tried tampering with the framework-res.apk and I thought I did it correctly, I replaced it with the current res in the /system/framework folder of the internal sd. Then I rebooted my phone and bam stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III screen. I've now tried finding a way to get into the internal sd card to replace the framework-res.apk back to original but my computer wont recognize it when in recovery or downloading mode. I have trying reflashing Clockworkmod several times and I've tried wiping the cache and factory reset. When I factory reset it says error mounting sd card, aborting. I am now out of ideas as to how to fix it and I'm not sure what to do with PIT files, which could be a possible solution. I am running Tmobile's Galaxy S3 T-999 16gb. All that being said, anyone who can help me get my phone back up and running I will reward you with $10 through paypal, because that's how desperate I am to fix my phone before someone finds out I bricked it!
Re: $10 Reward to whoever can help me get my phone working again! (SOFT BRICK)
Something similar happened to me. What I did was use a different lower version of Odin and reinstalled the drivers, and everything worked fine. It may not work for you but it's just a, thought, and try reflashing with the T-Mobile Stock ICS rom.

Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by reinstall drivers, like kies? I can't flash any rom's because I can't transfer the zip files over to the sd card since my phone won't recognize it since it won't go past the samsung screen. All I can do is flash clockwork mod from odin like .md5 and .tar. If I install a lower version of Odin what version did you use, and do you think flashing clockwork mod will be able to replace the framework-res.apk through odin?

You may want to Odin a stock rom. If you do, it it before flashing a recovery.

Thank you for the files, I'm now able to flash roms from my sd. I"ve flashed your clockwork and superuser. However, when I load up the phone I'm still getting stuck at the samsung logo
no external sdcard?
Did you try to flash another rom? What were you using, and what did you flash?
Why are you trying to fix a bricked ROM with CWM?
Just Odin a stock rom, and work from there. I don't know why you would keep trying to reflash recovery, that isn't going to do squat for you.
Go to the section/post in the general section on ODIN and pick a STANDARD ODIN image...Odin isn't that hard to manage.
Or use the S3 toolbox posting in the general section.
Most likely, this is because the rom has something funny in the cache...WIPE it to factory if you can get into a recovery...

I've now tried flashing Team Epic's ROM and I've wiped all cache restored to factory settings wiped dalvik cache, no progress.

You can't flash a rom from your external sdcard? or your internal? or either?

Now that I updated my clockwork mod I'm able to flash from my sd card. Trouble for me is finding the right ROM that is compatible and appealing. I've tried a few now and whenever I flash them I go to boot up the phone and I get stopped on the samsung galaxy s iii logo. There has to be a way to wipe everything and flash a fresh clean rom. I've stayed up till 2 in the morning only to get up at 6 in the morning two nights in a row now totaling almost 10 hours of trying to fix my phone

I used Odin v307 to flash TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip, i used clockwork mod to flash CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 (I got both of these from a post on these forums. I also tried superuser. Nothing is working do you have a download link to a ROM I could try?

From this quote it seems that you are flashing TWRP recovery and the flashing CWR right after it. That makes no sense. I don't use CWR on this phone but have used it before. So I'm not sure that LTE should be in the description as T999 isn't an LTE device. I could be wrong though. You can get an Odin-able version of either TWRP or CWR from this page.
Go here and download the stock image TMO T999UVDLJA. Follow the directions in the OP (make sure you unzip it first. Read and then read it again) . Fire up Odin and put the Root66 tar in the PDA slot (nothing in PIT). Flash the Root66. It will take about 5 minutes or so. Once it says Pass it should reboot. It WILL bootloop. If you have already flashed EITHER TWRP or CWR, then boot into recovery and Factory Reset. If you haven't flashed EITHER TWRP or CWR, then pull your battery and boot back into Download Mode. From there you put EITHER TWRP or CWR into the PDA slot and flash it. Pass. The reboot into recovery and Factory Reset.
First boot will take the longest bc it has to rebuild the /cache and /dalvik-cache. Let's get you up and running before you move on to flashing a custom ROM, OK?
