If it has a Gingerbread modem on it, flash the EC05 modem.
It will no longer be rooted and will be ready to sell

Big thanks to RoadRAGEN for helping me figure out an ext4 issue! Odin this to get Deodexed stock EG30 with latest root and su binary and Busybox 1.18.4.
This does not wipe data.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. You do this at your own risk.
I have only tested this with the stock kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel.
Download​
IMPORTANT: Make sure you have installed the proper XP or Win7 drivers before starting. Also, remove the SD card from the phone (this may not be necessary, but having the SD card installed has caused Odin to fail for a number of people, so might as well just do it).
1. Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
2. Open odin
3. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold v-down + power)
4. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
5. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot.
6. You do not need to choose a pit file.
7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)
8. Hit start. It will do its thing.
9. If it fails than try a new cable.
10. If the phone hangs for any reason take the battery and sdcard out and let it sit for an hour. Put it back together and try again.
reserved just in case
reserved again
Awesome crawrj. You do great work.

This does not contain a kernel. This is a stock file system that is rooted with busybox. I have tested on the root kernel and Bubby's CWM kernel. I have not tested on the Zedomax kernel.
Cool thanks!

File is up.
My phone is not rooted. If I flash this I will be rooted with the Kernel that was on the phone out of box? Also if I then flash Clock work recovery will it change the Kernel to the one others are claiming LOS on?

That is correct. It will be just like flashing with the stock kernel which I have done. If you flash CWM it will change the kernel. Whether or not you get the LOS is up in the air. I have been using it for days and haven't had it yet.
Just so I have this straight, this is a stock rom, no kernel, deoxed so once installed I can flash a theme over it.
I flashed buddies kernel with cwm rooted and flashed back to the stock kernel is there anything I need to do with my kernel or can I just flash this rom?
Edit: he beat me to it, must have been typing at the same time.

Ok...so the only way to have CWM is to change the kernel? I guess rom manager doesn't work for flashing CWM? Sorry if its a stupid question but I have been all over these threads for a week trying to decide which way to root and which way is better.

thanks bro.. One more question does this wipe internal sd card?
This does not have the kernel. I left it out for people to make their own decision on what kernel to use. Once we get a completely stock kernel with stock CWM I will update it. But for now it is just the system partion.
my phone wont unroot ive tried all the things that are posted here ive tried the odin way using the recovery tar and all the process finishes but when i get to boot my phone i still have the clockwork mod and the superuser app installed...... the other way is using the micro sd and using the micro sd wont let me choose the "yes" option all i get to see is NO so i cant install anything from the sd card can please somebody help me out? im having screen issues and i have to return my phone please help me i'd read all the forum threads
Ok, since I'm having such a good day I will help you out. Usually I would just tell you to search some more.
Step One .- Flash Stock KERNEL with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
Step Two .- Flash Unrooted Rom with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
And Last..
Step Three .- Odin Stock Recovery. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar
You should be fully STOCK now. Follow the steps and don't skip any.
Good luck.....
Flash this rom thru cwn, it restores back to stock unrooted, and installs the stock recovery.

I just flashed this since i am getting a warranty exchange and everything is back to stock unrooted. Except for the kernel, make sure you flash the stock kernal first

From what i've heard, none of these solutions will get you back T989UVKL1 true stock. Both of the above posts will put the phone back to and 'older' unrooted version of stock T989UVKID.
I guess if needing to return the phone back to T-Mobile, only assuming that's what you want, it should work, however if you purchased the phone (like me) with the upgraded firmware pre installed, and you wanted to "wipe the slate clean" and start fresh with prue pre installed updated stock - the above 2 posts won't do it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes but if you go back to T989UVKID shouldn't it give you the OTA update?
That should do the trick

You should be fine, but if you tested other kernels you'll have to flash stock kernel first. Then your nandroid.

You have to flash the el26 CWM kernel (if you're on an ICS rom it won't boot because it's a GB kernel) then boot into recovery and you can flash stuff that way. If you do a theme, be sure to flash an ICS kernel after flashing the theme so it will boot normal again. Roms have kernels in them already so you don't have to worry about them.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25017238

Honestly what you have to do is read the OP fully and do whatever is asked of you in there to make sure your phone is upgraded properly. Making new threads asking questions that may give you multiple answers may only confuse you further. I assume if you have to still ask this question with the amount of how to not brick and safe way to flash threads then you are still a little confused.
Best way to not have a paperweight is to follow whatever the OP's thread info to the letter. what rom you trying to flash
Jus' Sayin'
Yeah all I have done is went from stock to stock rooted and I have stayed stock rooted that's easy for me using the PC version of odin. I just wanted to start flashing new roms I have read all the posts and realize how not to brick I was simply wanting to know what would be the easiest way to go from stock rooted fd26 to like blazer ROM our mijjaz the goodness as I have not flashed using cwm recovery before...

No way to flash tar/mobile odin.
I know when everyone thought we were gonna get OTA (like FF02 or something), there was a fully prepared OTA file that you could flash through stock recovery.
I dunno where it is now but I saw it in the ICS leaks thread.
I installed FF11-deodexed.zip from el29+cwm, but didnt take for some reason.

If your on a GB rom, you can mobile odin a EL26 kernel to be able to flash whatever rom you want. What rom are you on right now and what are you trying to fully do?
No rom, just sits on samsung logo. Odin mode and ics recovery both work tho.
There's a best buy I'll try tomorrow, see if theyll let me fix this thing.
Find a best buy and download an Odin room with Odin to one of their laptops and flash it. Act like your shopping. I got away with out once when i soft bricked my og epic lol. Good luck

I feel for ya! The same thing happened to me at work the other day. No admin permissions for me so I couldn't install drivers any drivers including the USB so I couldn't even transfer anything to the internal storage even if there was a ROM that would flash from stock recovery. Had to do a 12 hour shift without my phone and it drove me crazy!
I'm gonna keep an eye on this thread in case someone offers a solution to this!!

Do you have unsecure recovery? (Can flash anything)
I guess I've been lucky, but I've never had to flash back to el29 to flash a diffrent rom. I've ususally been able to flash from whatever custom recovery came with whatever kernel I was using. For example, I used a Rogue recovery to flash a newer agate repacked kernel and then flash a different rom in the same session. The key maybe to flash everything in the same session before reboot so you don't get stuck in a stock recovery...I do use Calkulin's format all before flashing my junk around though...lol

That's why I always make sure to keep the last (sometimes 2) stable backup on my sd card so I can flash back to it if I need to in an emergency.
Umm I would still want my phone because I dontvl even use my actual camera anymore I just use my phone camera. See if you can borrow someones laptop at a coffee shop, give them like $20 or something to dl Odin and drivers lol.

This will explain the process and as for a custom rom, I'd suggest that you look at a few and pick one that looks interesting to try; there are several excellent roms available for the E4GT.
