well firstly get the tmobile 2.3.6 kernel and flash it ( if you dont and revert to stock you will bootloop) then download the unroot file its in the dev section unzip it then place the tar file on pda and flash but do a factory reset before you flash the process takes about ten minutes.. reboot and well i did another factory reset.. also flash the vl1 radio as well before you flash odin..

Download that zip. (this the newest update released yesterday)
And download odin from http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Then follows these steps:
1) Power off your phone
2) Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
3) Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding with 'Warning' appears.
4) Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
5) Click PDA and locate the MD5 file extracted earlier.
6) Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
7) You phone will reboot when its finished then you can unplug the usb and reboot your phone once again.
Got odin link and modified the steps from KonstantinKeller restore stock thread..so thanks to him and thanks to przekret for making the flashable zip

No post in dev section. This is a little jewel I discovered months ago. Far more simple and it's official firmware, with everything included, and won't trip the counter.

I wouldn't be. Run a custom rom until it's pushed out. No sense in running a crap, bloated up stock rom for the next 2 months or whenever they release it.

Why worry about that now? There is no official ics, nor a date in which it will come. When the time comes do what needs done. It takes all of 5 minutes to flash this stuff and prepare

Yeah I know I just have never unrooted my phone so for personal reasons I just wanted to get the feel for it.. I learned a bit yesterday.. Like that crap with the kernel.. Now if I go back to cm9 it does have that ROM specific kernel right? bootloops are so friggin irritating

Will this set my phone back to 1gb instead of 768mb?

Your phone will never read "1GB". Due to how android handles memory, some will be reserved for it and not be visible to you. Kinda like what Windows does to your hard drive.

Thnx.. Well back 2 rooting & JB'in lol

I dun goofed

Tried to root the company S3, hard bricked it. I'm guessing I flashed the wrong files.
Phone turns on and shows Samsung for half a second then turns back off.
Can't enter recovery.
I've been looking around for instructions on how to fix this however I cannot find a definite answer. Any help is appreciated!

Volume Down + Home + Power?
Funny I tried it countless times before posting here and I try it again and I am able to enter. But I have no idea what to do now?
Things on my Nexus are a lot easier lol

You need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware back on there. I found this post that has the stock ROM files for Odin.

If you can get it into Download mode you should be able to flash back to stock using Odin I think, I hard bricked my s3 4 days ago, I took it back to at&t and I received a brand new one .

The problem with this is that when I try to reflash it waits for adb mode and stays stuck there. I think USB debugging is disabled and I have no way of going in and enabling it.

[Q] At&T Galaxy Note 2 stuck after root

Hi... I have an At&t Galaxy Note 2, I rooted it w Odin, It worked fine then I flashed a custom ROM and I guess it may not have been the right one and it would turn off every few minutes, I would turn it back on and it would just continue to turn off so I tried flashing a different ROM and that was it. It won't boot past the 'Samsung Galaxy Note ll" screen.. It just stays stuck there...
I looked on forums and tried different things suggested with no success...
I have tried flashing stock back with Odin but it stops at the 'Recovery' part in Odin and I've left it there for a good while but it doesn't go any further... I tried going through Kies and updating firmware and it goes through the process and it just sits there and doesn't re boot or anything...
Can anyone help? I would greatly appreciate any help...I am so stuck...
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a nandroid backup? Have you tried installing twrp/Cwm via Odin?
Try that and then try to see if you can get into recovery mode.

[Q] Possible Brick: Is a jig my only hope?

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'
Any and all help is appreciated.

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

Thanks for all the help and Replys. Love this community. I root because this is what we do. I stand behind those that say Samsungs are damn near impossible to brick.

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.

to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot

Phone Stuck booting

I was running a rom and was having Bluetooth issues so I was going to re-flash back to stock with odin 3.1. I have done this many time but the phone just sits there with Samsung pulsating. My custom binary count is at 9. Is there a max? The flash with odin is always successful. I have tried both usb2/3 with both giving me the same results a "pulsating samsung" logo. I at a loss for what to do next, just keep trying?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
