[odin][froyo][2.2]

Well,
i'm just posting this for my friend(abby_nitewolf) since she can't post it from her account because of some limitations of something. i dont know...
Continuum-Community,
I'm not sure if this was posted or if you already had this, but i made an odin file for our 2.2 Froyo update.
http://www.mediafire.com/?9nxa2ui9c327y7m
Yes it has been tested and i have flashed it on 4 Samsung-Continuum and it worked perfectly.
Any questions of concerns just post here or you can pm me.
Thank you Trailblazer and Imnuts for helping with this and thanks again Imnuts for giving us FROYO.
Notes:
People had been asking me questions about this file,like what is it? who are you? whats 7z? odin?
Well this is the reason for adding this extra section.
What's .7z? I thought it was suppose to be a .tar image.....?
Well young one, .7z its a 7zip extension that i used to compress the original file so it can be easily uploaded and downloaded. Just download 7zip and use it to extract the original file.
What's Odin?
Well, ok, not trying to be mean, but if you dont know how to use odin, then you really shouldnt be messing with this file, do some research and then come back to this thread, because you will be using Odin to flash this file onto your phone. Hint:Use the power of google!
Since i'm flashing this onto my phone do i put the file under PHONE?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It goes under PDA!!!
I'm confused, who uploaded this, torque240 or abby_nitewolf?
Hmm...does it really matter? well if its really bugging you then abby_nitewolf is the one who provided us with this odin image, and of course IMNUTS gave us the gift of 2.2 FROYO.

Thanks for linking this. It's nice to have the bone-stock Odin image for those who want to use it as a base for building their own rom.

Link has been updated so i wont get my dropbox privileges suspended again
Found out you have to reflash cwm recovery odin image again. no biggie just takes a minute. unless it really bugs you
Other than that its been working, now tested on 7 phones, no problems so far.
I would love your feedback on this please.
Thanks You

Hehe, its name has 69 in it
Oh and thank you NiteWolf for revealing to me that embarresing typo in my signature, LMAO

odin says what?

Do we have to flash the modem ( per imnuts's instructions ), or just this ODIN file?

Modem file is in this odin image. So yes just this

Thanks Abby.
Ok, so I just re- flash the cwm mod, then your file,then restart.
Do I need to do anything fdom within cwm? Should I do a wipe/factory restore after flashing the mod?
Thats what I did when I flashed imnuts' mod

1. Flash this odin image
2. reboot
3. turn off then reflash cwm
And after you reflash this odin image, when you reboot it actually formats everything, data. dbdata. cache...etc...

Sweet, I'll get this done this evening.

Dear Abby---
(sorry, I had to.. )
I flashed the rom, IT'S PERFECT.
Many thanks.
I had a bug with the other rom, every time I opened a website, the screen would blink off, and it was driving me bonkers.
This seems to have fixed it.
Everything is working great.
Again, thanks a bunch.

Is the included ROM rooted or deodexed?
Sent from my Continuum on stock Froyo 2.2.2.

all stock/rooted

And yes, its deodexed xP

[ZIP] Solution for those wanting to flash kernels using CWM

I have been seeing that many people seem to prefer to flash their kernels using CWM instead of ODIN. I prefer using CWM over ODIN whenever possible so here is a solution for you.
This is just a simple .zip that you can use to flash your kernel via CWM.
Myself or the maker of the kernel you're choosing to flash are NOT responsible for anything that may happen to your phone a s a result of user error or anything else.
Instructions:
1) Extract the zImage from the ODIN tar (I use 7zip)
2) Download and open this .zip using 7zip
3) Simply drag and drop the zImage extracted from the .tar or in the root of this .zip.
4) Boot into CWM and flash.
5) Be sure to thank the person that created the kernel you are using.
Note: This will delete the cache so the first boot up will take a minute or so.
PLEASE make sure there isn't a reason the kernel creator wants the kernel flashed via ODIN before doing this. I don't know if there really is one but just in case.
Update: Zip updated per Calkulin's advice
Enjoy....

No offense but I believe people are interested in using zips without using a computer period.
I know I would. I have no problem using odin but would love to simply use recovery.

Speak for yourself and not others. Also, a little research and effort on your part would show you that you should be able to accomplish the same thing on your phone to get the zImage into the zip for flashing in CWM.
Thanks Rob.

thank you very much!! i wasnt AWARE you could just extract the zImage from tar.

On that note some of us like to experiment with different kernels on the go so having a library of .zip kernels saved to my sd card is brutally useful instead of having to wait to get home to switch the kernels

Hey ptfdmedic, you need to use flash_image to flash the kernel properly on the S2. Copy my zip if you want

Guys,
I'm not sure if I really understood it... I found a boot.img from a rom that is not from the rom I'm currently using...
Just double checking, to flash it, all I have to do is put the "boot.img" file inside the "Generic Kernel ZIP for CWM.zip" and flash it through CWM?
Is this only for Epic 4G or it will work on SGW as well?
I'm sorry if this is something obvious, it's just that it sounded too simple, easy and good to be true...

Every kernel ive seen has a .zip and a .tar.. but i guess if you want to do it this way its fine lol.. if on ics its more steps and youd still need to odin to el26 cwm to be safe anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I don't get it... if you are going through the trouble of pulling zImages why wouldn't you just Mobile Odin or HC-kTool it?
Just sayin.. live and let, I suppose.
And if I'm not mistaking, boot.img is for AOSP kernels and zImage is for stock-based. Correct if necessary.

ROM update to 2.3.6 (again)

ok so i had another thread where i found out i hard bricked my phone cause i did not use ODIN properly. so this time i am going to ask for settings on ODIN so i can put the 2.3.6 ROM on my phone without hardbricking
i have the rom file already named T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar.md5
i open up ODIN (1.85). What check boxes do i need? do i need re-partition? F.reset time? flash lock? phone EFS clear? phone bootloader update?
Do i just load the .md5 file into PDA? do i need any other file?
will loading the ROM erase all my data?

Dude to be as nice as possible. There is a sticky section on how to do this. Just check PDA and load it from PDA. Don't touch anything else on Odin.Dont hit repartition. Don't hit anything else. Just load to PDA. And do not rename the file or unplug your phone at any time.if you don't care about root you can always update via kies and foolproof. Please search the threads or post in general. People will blame you for ever if you post in the wrong section. Good luck.

go into download mode. after you are in download mode and connected via usb to computer thru download mode then open up odin. after that just hit pda then find the tar file you downloaded onto computer. once u find file hit that and u are good to go then run it ....let it do its thing don not touch the phone. question tho why dont you just flash one of the 2.3.6 zips we have here? also there is cwm flashable radios here too

it will not erase your data. Its a non wipe update.

The ROM will have a kernel with it ... You just need to make sure you flash it correctly.. That's why I said what I said in you're previous post.. Tell me what ROM you want and I'll walk you through it.. After you will have a way to flash almost any ROM..

OK... Here's how I flash a ROM.. Hasn't let me down yet. I take no credit for this method.. The info is in xda,buddy..
First...you will need to get all the needed files( ROM, Gapps( for the rom you pick ),EL29 direct boot kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 ..this is the link to rwilcos repo..scroll down to gb-touch wiz based kernels. Then look for EL 29 direct boot/tar.. You will need the tar.md5 format. Place this tar and the ROM and Gapps on the root of you're internal sdcard( not in a folder ).Also download TD's JB format all zip( if doing a new install of a JB rom.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2077277
Second...Now get mobile Odin.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 .. This is a link to a lite version.. Install mobile Odin..You just need it for kernel flashing,so don't need to do the extra download it prompts..
Third... Make sure you have done all the above...
Fourth... Use mobile Odin to flash el29 direct boot kernel..( open mobile Odin..give super user permission..click kernel..click internal sdcard..pick el29 direct boot kernel..scroll down to flash firmware..click..check md5.. Flash.. It will boot to recovery on its own..
Fifth... Once in recovery( push volume up,volume down,volume up..thus will make you're power button the select/enter button.
Sixth...Wipe data,wipe cache,wipe dalvik cache( under advanced ).. Go to mounts/storage..and format system ( only system ).. Go back to first screen..( bottom of the page/ Go back ) should have told you this earlier..If flashing a JB rom... go to install from sdcard.. install from internal sdcard.. now pick TD's JB format all zip and flash it.... ( if you choose to install a JB rom and use this JB format all zip. .you don't need to do all the wipes. )But I do them anyway.. clean install.
Seventh... Now pick install from sdcard..install from internal sdcard..now pick the ROM zip file and scroll down to yes..click.. Let it do its thing...After its done. Pick install from internal sdcard again,but this time pick the gapps zip and flash it..When all is done..go back to first page and click reboot..enjoy.. It will take a little bit for the ROM to boot up.. Make a snack and wait..
Don't forget to thank the ROM dev..rwilco..chainfire...and Tdunham..

Very good choice..just as @jdsingle76 said.. The steps I gave you will work perfect for that ROM...Just remember that you need a jelly bean modem..and mobile Odin doesn't flash modems.. So flash the modem of choice in recovery after you flash the ROM. Then you can update you're prl and profile.. Unless you're on a jelly bean modem, I can't remember as I'm writing this but I thought that screen shot had gb27 as you're modem, which Is the latest jb modem..so you'd be good to go..side note. I seen you posted in the thread about better signal..Do not take you're protection off the inside cover of you're phone.. I just looked and you do have a jb modem so you need not worry about flashing a modem...

Galaxy gio ops file

Hi. everyone
I'm trying to help a friend that wants to root gio and to improve his phone.
I have a s plus so i'm use to flash my phone roms and kernels. i tried to upgrande his phone but its difficult to find archives to do from origin.
Thats what i have.
to do the root first
- i've root file(update in gio) and unroot file.
then i' thought i need a cwm
and i ve this file
-tass-cwm-14-08-2013
i want to put a new recovery mod like
twrp 14.0
for now i just tried to did that. but i dont know how it went wrong and im stuck in samsung logo and it wont enter to recovery mod.
I tried to find the ops file for gio everywhere to flash the old recovery mode with odin and i cant find th ops file. sites closed, fake files. and so on.
can you send me a link where i could download it well?
if you could help me what correct files to do what i have in mind it would be great too.

my multi downloader v.4.43 can´t read this file...
its a text file...

Just to clarify here, "tass" is Galaxy Mini, so You flashed the recovery for the wrong device. The Gio's identifier is "gio". As for the issue with not being able to open the OPS file, did you check its file extension after downloading it?

I found the ops file at web. It was difficult because many file hosts are dead. I finaly have done it ive installed the basic firmware of gio and then ive flashed the PT firmware 2.3.6. As last resort. All with odin.
What I want do is to flash a New firmware stable, a new recovery mod touch, and the last rom 4.4.2 stable for gio. Can you tell me the best for gio?
I tried to do this but the phone never turn of only with the turn off button it did with cable connect at pc or battery charge.
Can you tell me how it happen? I think when i flashed the original rom with odin Ive disconect to soon. And then I couldnt turn on phone normaly.
I try it again from beginning and i let the phone connected till odin says pass. And then i disconnect the cable and its ok now.
