Kernel version 3.0.8-gda6252b

Please guys , teach me how and let me start his journey with you
waiting your heeeeeeelp

recs for a n00b
Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.
This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

Thanks guys for your active response ..
I followed every step until I plug my mobile in the fast mode , my computer asks me for drivers .!!!
I have tried to ignore it and I continued the step to flush the ROM , but finally it gives me a message as " Waiting for your Device " >>
Guys ..any idea ??

From where I can get these drivers ???
I'm glad you're using fastboot.
Search for naked drivers.
Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.
Thanks guys ,
I have tried to use the toolkit software to get the drivers !! and I managed but still wont't work .
Q : Is it possible to install a ROM if the phone is locked ??
bcz i didn't unlocked yet ??

No. Need custom recovery and an unlocked phone to install the recovery.

1. use these drivers.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
2. no you need custom recovery and unlcoked bootloader to flash roms
3. read one of these threads to understand more about rooting, and flashing roms so you dont mess up your phone

To the OP, use the search function (or Google) - it's all out there!!
To everyone else, don't spoon feed them - let them learn it for themselves. It's better, and more rewarding, then being told everything

agreed..
Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

Don't ignore what your compter says....
Go to the samsung site and download/install the driver http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW
guys ,
I'm almost there , I have unlocked my phone ,get the drivers , moved the ROM into my memory , but when I go the the recovery mode to select the ROM and do the following as was request by obe memeber ..
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partitoin
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
The recovery mode wont complete , it shows one robot with red exclamation mark . Then after few minutes , it got restarted .
What's wrong ??
You've not flashed CWM yet...seriously, read the guides properly

First: don't use ODIN, it's an unsupported tool, a leak from sammy, source code is unknown.
Second: That I know of, CF-ROOT is a sammy based kernel by Chainfire, for I9000, I9100 and I9300. We are AOSP, totally different. Basically, you f'ed up.
Third: Power down your device, turn it on by pressing POWER+VOL UP+VOL DOWN, it should take you to fastboot. Follow this thread to get back to stock.
Don't flash stuff without knowing your surroundings..
with the million of guide out there of how use fastboot and related command to flash google image,i don't know why using a crappy software like odin on this phone..it isn't a classic samsung phone,odin works,but totally reccomended using fastboot.i think that the prob of yours phone is yours fault.anyway follow the 3ad linked by bk201dontexist and you 'd be safe (if you haven't already do bad things)
i Said it doesn,t GO to the FAStboot and download MOD !!!
Now U Say Go to fastboot ?! ?!?!? :|
FASTBOOT DOESN,T WORK !
OK ?
the only other option you have it OMAP flash. i have never used it, but it might work if fastboot and ODIN do not work

Listen buddy, you're responsible for this, so don't yell.
Try OMAP flash, like Zepius said.

This.
And you broke the phone, people are trying to assist you. You didn't know what you were doing disregarded several warnings that are all over this website. 'Danger, use at your OWN risk' You then do all the wrong things; you use ODIN, you use a Kernel that doesn't even belong to this device, you FUBAR'd the device and come and ask for help, people are trying to help and you get snotty.
You're also incredibly difficult to understand but everyone's moved beyond that.
So chin up, take the advice, if it's not good advice move on and wait.

But...that IS where to start. I don't think a clearer guide exists or could be written...
ok a few thing i might want to clear the model i9250 what its genric name or mean whats its type is it yakuju or jord something like that.....and installing the driver and downloading the firmware from google site what i do next mean connecting the phone whats the app by which i flash through and how to files in the zip i download
In a nutshell (this is assuming you have working adb/fastboot drivers set in your system PATH and that the bootloader is already unlocked):
1. Download the 4.2.1 factory image from Google - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-jop40d-factory-279cdc5d.tgz
2. Extract the resulting file using 7-Zip to your Desktop
3. Open a command prompt window in the folder where the IMG files from that TGZ are
4. Connect your phone in fastboot mode
5. Run flash-all.bat
Once finished you'll be on 100% stock 4.2.1

1) i gave you step by step instructions.
2) you're a rom dev, if you cant figure out those instructions you need to stop doing rom dev stuff.
3) read and follow the guide. it takes at most 30min to do and thats if you have to setup everything and dont know a thing about fastboot. it should take you 5min so your "i'm in med school and dont have time" excuse will be pathetic.

Not the best link when he is just asking about firmware.
Are you S-Off or S-On?
If S-On, go to this thread to find firmware for your MID and CID. They MUST match, or the firmware won't flash properly.
If you are S-Off, the method in this thread is the absolute easiest way to update your firmware. This is the method I use.

rad,
okay, first, calm down dude, it's nothing catastrophic, you just still have a stock [ish] recovery.
goto the tab 10 thread and download the odin image for the recovery you want.
find and follow the proper instructions and you'll be good.
search, noob, read, noob, follow instructions, dude, yay ! :silly:

Thanks for your kindness
the problem were the drivers .... SOLVED
does this work for non-rooted phones? I thought you had to be rooted or able to enter download mode for odin to work with a device.

If you can access recovery do adb sideload your rom again, it will fix easily.
If not, do this:

You need to sideload 2.x roms, 3.x roms cannot be sideloaded like this.
For sideloading another rom you need a fastboot again.
You can do the method i shared link but it completely wipes phone.

Hey bro, I just fixed mine. I had no bootloader, no recovery, and the whole partition was ruined. Only a battery with question mark.
First, I fixed the fastboot and recovery. Then fixed the whole partition table using @swiczak 's process. This process has a tiny flaw with the "droidboot.bin" file. I have right file to use. Thanks for keeping me up with this. :highfive:
@mohdyaz, bro......can u have a little patience? I will post a total guide with steps and required files. Till then, take a break. :good:
