I have extracted and repackaged the modem for those who are interested in trying it. It flashed with Odin on Overcome 1.4.2 without problems. @alter, this does not excuse you from giving us the full ROM.
Download link: http://www.multiupload.com/KHRGQP8L8Z

whats changed what new,
how does it feel
home screen the same

how do i do this on heimdall? my odin is refusing to show connected download mode, but Heimdall works fine.
Nevermind, got it. Had to reinstal kies drivers to get it to work.

You have to uninstall the drivers for Heimdall and re-install the drivers for Odin - one or the other, cant use both at the same time.

I`m new on this.
So if i will flash this with Odin it will unroot my device ? I have an Euro Galaxy Tab P1000 and now i`m rooted.

How do you root this rom?
I've tried z4root which didn't work. Superoneclick finished rooting but any apps that require root always fail saying root access not aquird.
Any help?

okay this might make me sound stupid, but how do i do that on windows?
NEVERMIND. Just ran this....

As far as i know nothing really changed in this update. But i know some bluetooth stuff needs 2.2.1 and up. So i am sure there are other apps that might like this update. Possibly has some slight fixes in it also.
With some tweaks I am getting constant mid-low 19 linpack scores!

Oh yeah, downloaded the P1000ZTKC1 and tried to upgrade my tab but always failed when Odin tries to read boot.bin and bricked my tab. Had to reinstate Tab again. Maybe it is because the firmware is not packed properly or could be I am doing it the wrong way. I had not tried full reset and upgrade yet tho.

[Q] Unroot without Odin - USB Device not recognized

I'm having an issue with my t989 that has persisted since I stopped using Kang's ROMs and the Bullet Kernel.
After going from the Juggernaut ROM to Darkside's ICS when it came out, my phone started to not be recognized by any computer, be it OSX or Windows. I've tried everything on the PC software side, from clearing Kies and the Samsung Drivers, as well as clearing registry information and re-installing both separately, and this has not helped at all. The windows error is:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I don't use antivirus, and I don't use a firewall, suffice to say I'm a programmer and have plenty of experience in doodling with phones, and I'm stumped. I've come to the conclusion that the Bullet Kernel installed from my Juggernaut days is the cause of the issue, as I repeated the process on a friend's device and he has the exact same symptoms.
With this situation, I'm not able to access ODIN to return to complete stock, so I can't flash over the Bullet Kernel. Alongside the USB device not recognized problem, I also was not able to get into ODIN / download mode until I made my own USB Jig to get around it.
Is there any way to get back to the stock kernel without ODIN? Would Mobile Odin Pro work if Chainfire added support for our device? It's really pissing me off as I'm a software developer and can't use my own device to build to.
EDIT: As a note, when moving from Juggernaut / Bullet to Darkside, I flashed the appropriate ICS radio and kernel, but when returning to 2.3.5 stock from Samsung, somehow the Bullet kernel managed to persist.

edit: nvm you answered my question.
Im not aware of a way to unroot without Odin Can you get into recovery?

Hey, not sure if this will help, but there's links to flashable stock zips in this thread:

There is still a way to get back to the Stock ROM ( 2.3.5 ) and Recovery, but the kernel flash was not included with the package:
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
This is apparently the "Zedomax" unroot that does not need the ability to hook up to Odin, so needless to say, it's not unrooting that I need, it's getting back to the stock kernel that is the problem.
Obviously now that I'm unrooted, there really isn't a way for me to install Mobile Odin Pro even if I had it. I've been looking how to contact him to request it, because I don't want to be rude and PM him the request when I'm sure that's not the way that respected XDA members would want.

Can I ask why you think the kernel alone isn't being overwritten? That seems odd to me, since every ROM packs its own kernel, and flashing a kernel specifically only replaces the kernel. So if you flash an ICS ROM you're getting an ICS kernel, GB you get a GB kernel, etc. It wouldn't work otherwise. If you haven't done it already, you might want to try Darkside super and cache wipes.

Well, for one, I get a Bullet loading screen... Apparently reading through other threads, it's a known issue that Zedomax's Stock ROM method doesn't include the kernel, which basically means I may have f'ed myself permanently seeing as how I can't get ODIN access. Unfortunately, galaxys2root.com didn't tell people on their site that it didn't include the kernel, so needless to say, I'm never going to that site again and I would advise people not to follow any of their stuff either.
Although it's a small omission, their lack of providing information has just caused me to possibly lose a moddable phone.
EDIT: the threads that I've been reading through are the ones you supplied, RTFOP

So can you not get into download mode or get your computer to recognize your phone in recovery? If you're willing to tinker some you can back track and root and reinstall and overwrite that kernel and then circle back.

Well, to re-hash over what I've said already for clarification's sake:
1. I can get into download / ODIN mode
2. I still CANNOT get my phone to recognize in recovery. I know it's not my PCs, it's the phone, and I suspect the Bullet Kernel as it was not reverted back to the stock kernel when I flash Zedomax.
With that said, I don't see how it's possible for me to root and get CWM seeing as how I'm on stock Recovery (3e), and I can't ODIN. Unless there is a untethered way to root the t989, I think i'm up ****'s creek.

At what point did you lose root access though?

The whole point of flashing Zedomax's .zip is to unroot and go back to stock Samsung 2.3.5.
Just to verify, I downloaded root checker and it states I do not have root access.

So if you can get into Odin with your jig workaround, why can't you load a custom recovery and super user and then run Darkside wipes and install whatever ROM you want?

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding between you and I. When I say I can get into download / Odin MODE, that means I can force the phone itself into ODIN Mode, but since my computer does not recognize my t989, the ODIN application on my windows box does not recognize the phone, and the ID box does not 'turn yellow' as it should if my phone were recognized by my PC.
So even though my phone is waiting for the ODIN application on my windows to send it commands, I can't send it commands because the application won't recognize the phone.
Thus is my quandary.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't get that. Have you tried plugging it in without the sd card in? It's kind of a long shot, but errors on there might be keeping your computer from communicating with the device, since it seems to be working otherwise. Maybe the jtag repair service through mobile tech videos?

As you suggested, I tried taking out the SD card and that didn't help.
I'm trying to do as much as possible before I try and repair it. I may consider trying for a warranty replacement and take the risk, but I'd like to try everything I can before I take that step, I don't like not being able to fix something =p.

Couple of questions before anyone can answer...
1 . How are you trying to update .. through KIES or ODIN ?
2 . How are you connecting it to your computer via USB .. Front or Rear ports ?

Using Kies and side ports on laptop
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Are you using the micro usb cable that came with the phone?
A lousy cable or as mentioned above a crummy usb port could be a source of problems. Also is the laptop plugged in and the s3 fully charged?
Kies uses Odin to flash the firmware update via the USB cable to the phone, so technically you are using Odin. You wouldn't really notice Odin was being used during the flash unless you look carefully at the small dialog in the upper left corner of the s3 screen during the update.

hi, what im trying to do is use odin to install root66 jb rom but before i do that i am running aokp 4.1.2 . do i first need to wipe phone before i use odin to flash rom or is it ok to just go head and install with odin? what i mean by wipeing phone is to wipe data /factory reset wipe cash wipe dav format system and what ever else there is in cwm to do. im just not sure havent done this before so some help would great.. thanks

You'll need to do that wipe sooner or later (otherwise the stock ROM will fail to boot); you can either do it now or wait until after you've done the flash and use the stock recovery to do the wipe. I'd consider doing the wipe first to be easier.

Actually what I'm having issues with is Kies itself. I used a separate computer so that I could download Kies new but it's also a problem. Is there an easier way?

Are you using the kies version from the support page on Samsung.com for YOUR phone? If you're trying to use kies instead of a mini version for a US phone, that hasn't worked for any of the other Galaxy line phones (at least in my experience).
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I don't know if this qualifies as easier (it would for me), but if Kies isn't working for you for whatever reason, you might try just using Odin directly. You can get Odin itself over in this thread, and completely stock images over in this thread; if you want the latest AT&T build, that would be this one.
(If you're slightly more ambitious, you could also try the rooted-but-otherwise-stock images found here, as a gateway to future customisation, but that's entirely up to you...)

Yes it's Kies from the support page. I will try with Odin directly see how that goes. If not I will be back LOL
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

To put it kindly, Kies is a steaming pile of cr4p. To be honest, upgrading via Odin with the official ROM is the best way to go. I spent days trying to get my phone to connect to Kies and it was a mess. I went to the AT&T store and they told me that there wasn't anything that they can do, this is an open issue. It works for some people, not others.
Finally I downloaded Kies on my wife's Mac and it worked. So maybe try a Mac?

My sister has a Mac I will try that

What's needed for backup

Hi. I have a new GS4 arriving in a few days and wanted to find out what needs to be done in order to use titanium backup and to do a nandroid.
I have read conflicting stories that it needs to be fully rooted, that it only needs the bootloader unlocked, and that the bootloader comes already unlocked on the T-Mobile version. Can someone please clarify for me? I don't need to flash a custom ROM or kernel or anything like that. The phone is for my son, so all I want is to be able to do full backups for him. Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

You need to be rooted.
-Titanium BU will backup your app plus app data
-For a nandroid backup you'll need to have a custom recovery (ie CWM, TWRP)
I used this for root (it will install SU binary and app, plus stock recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
To install custom recovery you can use Odin to flash the tar version or use ROM manager, GOO ect depending on the recovery you want.

Everything baseballfanz posted.
The M919 Bootloader comes Unlocked outta the box.
For years, I've used Titanium Backup with the Pro key. Excellentsand theGGold Standard. Does everything except pour your coffee
I also use My Backup Pro as a redundancy. I primarily use it to backup & restore my Call Logs, MMS, SMS, etc . It also backs up & restores Apps and Data. I set it to back on a schedule.
For a Custom Recovery, I use TWRP 2.5.0.2.
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
If you decide to flash TWRP, don't flash with Goo Manager as it will install TWRP 2.6.0.0 of which known issues have been reported. TWRP 2.5.0.2 has very little issues if any. I've been using it for months without any issues. Working flawlessly. TWRP also gets installed with ODIN. If you need the steps, let me know and I'll post them.
For Rooting, I also use CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire installed with ODIN. Easy as pie, or however that saying goes.
Any questions, post away

Thanks to both of you. I'm already familiar with Titanium as I use the pro version on my tmo MT4G, rooted with cwm and running cyanogen. At least for now. I'll be getting myself the GS4 as well soon. So I know the virtues of using TB.
However, my son wants to stick with stock and get ota updates and I want him to be able to remove bloatware, backup everything, and be able to tweak a few things like the whole YouTube link issue(if it's still an issue) so we're looking for a reasonable compromise.
I also currently use cwm ROM manager app, droidwall, and spare parts+ which I would like to put on his phone if they will work.
Biker1... When you say bootloader comes unlocked, that's for the tmo one we will be getting?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Yes the T-mobile version M919 come with an unlocked bootloader.

OK thx good to know. So what will be my first step when unboxing it in order to be able to use the aforementioned apps? I also have root explorer, mybackup root, s2e, and superuser on the MT4G if they will be useful on the GS4.

Charge the battery fully!
Make sure you have a good known working usb cable. You should as it will be a new one.
You wanna have enough juice to do your installations and if things run a little long, you don't wanna get stuck in the middle
You have those Rooted apps so you can root the S4 using:
CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire using ODIN. I'll post a link soon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
In addition, install a Custom Recovery. There are a few good ones.
Personally, I use TWRP 2.5.0.2
Don't use Goo Manager as that will install version 2.6.0.0 which has known issues. Been using 2.5.0.2 for months without issue, but you can use a custom recovery of your choice of course.
So:
Charge battery
Have a good usb cable
ODIN CF-AUTO-ROOT
Boot
ODIN Custom Recovery
Boot
Check you S4 to make sure you're good to go.
Make a Nandroid
Install your Apps
When ready, download and Flash a ROM and Enjoy

OK it seems he really wants a chance to play with it out of the box. So, once its charged, it's his for now. I'm wondering though, if the bootloader is unlocked already does that mean if we choose to root it at a later date it won't need to be wiped or will it still lose anything not on the sd card?
I already went through this with one son who got a new phone and ended up losing everything on the old one because he wouldn't let me root it from the start and back things up. But that phone would've required a full wipe when I unlocked the bootloader.
If this guy starts setting things up and installing apps and data and such, and then wants me to root it for TB, will he lose everything?

No. You can Root ltr on and not lose anything.
Rooting via CF-AUTO-ROOT via ODIN will not cause you to have to Wipe anything.
He can always back up his files every once in a while to his pc, which you would do whether you're gonna Root or not, for that 'Just in case' moment. You know, Murphy's Law
I don't do that as often as I should.
If there's a time when you have to Wipe device memory, you'd just transfer the files to the pc and/or SD card.
If everything's good to go, and you're ready to Root, But things go wrong (Murphy's Law again) and you have to wipe Internal but you didn't save the files, you'll be outta luck, but that can happen anytime. So just back up once in a while. Better safe than sorry........
What will most likely happen:
- your son will dl files, games, etc.
- later on, days, weeks, months, he'll want to Root
- you'll ODIN CF-AUTO -ROOT by Chainfire and you'll be good to go.
- after installing Recovery and TiBu, you'll back up the data on the device,and that's it.

OK... That's exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks so much!
Alrighty so, Odin is the program I will use to access the adb commands on the pc, correct? And I get that from where?
And the cf root file? Is there a handy link? Steps to follow, a guide perhaps?
After that's done I assume I have to flash the recovery? I prefer cwm. Or is that part of the cf/odin process?

The CF-AUTO-ROOT link is posted previously. You install with ODIN.
I'll get you a link to ODIN so you can see what it's about.
You dl ODIN on your pc. You need drivers installed on your pc to recognize your S4.
You put tar files in the appropriate ODIN boxes
Tar files can be extracted from zip files.
You have to follow ODIN instructions exactly.
I'm briefly going through the basics as you really need to read the associated threads so you get an idea how the process works, then you'll probably have some questions which we can answer.
I'm not sure if CWM Recovery is installed via ODIN.
TWRP is. I use Version 2.5.0.2. But you can use CWM. There's a thread to show you howttoiinstall.
Root with CF-AUTO-ROOT via ODIN 3.07
Install Recovery (method depends on choice of Recovery)
Make a Nandroid backup
Then you can install, flash, etc. etc.....

Ok so he decided it was easy and quick enough to let me do it now. I'm following the thread instructions. I have the cf root and odin files. I run odin, check pda and pick the cf root file.

Well first off forget twrp (for now anyways) and use philz 6.07.9. First off a few questions for you.
1. What current stock rom are you on? 4.1.2, 4.3, or 4.4.2.
2. Is your phone working properly at this moment? You said you have tried a few things and I need to know if you have messed up anything yet.
3. What os is on your pc (windows xp, 7, 8, etc)?

I have 4.4.2 KitKat
my phone is disconnected, I do not want to use the phone for sprint any more, they have just screwed me over and I am tired of it
pc is windows 8
have been using odin and when I upload the root, it will rebot but it will not install any of the root that I have flashed to it... that is why I am thinking that I have messed something up, but since the phone is not working on the sprint network, it is hard for me to tell what I have done, I want to move it to either boost or straight talk.
