I'm trying to update my old phone which is now my sister in law's. It's stock unrooted ICS FL24.
When I try to use Kies to update, it gets through the first step of dowlnoading firmware upgrade components, but when it reaches 100% the window hangs for 30 seconds or so and then disappears and Kies closes.
It's the most recent version of Kies, I even uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it's still doing it. Has anyone come across this and a way to fix it? My sister in law wants the update but I can't seem to do it for her.

What worked for me was using an Odin One-Click package from here.

Use that link to download an Odin One-Click tool that will make your life easy. Whether you're looking to root her phone or keep it un-rooted, there is a tool for you on that page. Download whichever one of the tools you need whether or not you need to root her phone or keep it un-rooted. RESTORE versions will WIPE all user data from the phone. NODATA versions will NOT wipe user data from the phone. After downloading the one-click tool you need, simply turn off her phone and once it's fully powered down, press and hold volume down and the power key at the same time until you see the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo. You can let go now. It will boot into something called "Download mode" and that's what we need.
I'm going to assume you've already installed the samsung drivers since you're using KIES. If not, get them from here and install.
Make sure the phone is FULLY CHARGED at this point.
After the drivers are installed, launch the Odin One-Click program and wait for it to appear. Once it's loaded go ahead and connect your phone to the computer. Make sure your phone is still in download mode before you connect to the computer! The top left box in that Odin window should light up with a yellow box with "0:COM#" in it, once that's lighted up, go ahead and click start at the bottom.
If you do not see a yellow "0:COM#" light up in the top left set of boxes, you may need to run the ODIN One-Click as an administrator.
DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE AND DO NOT TURN IT OFF WHILE ODIN IS WORKING! Once it's done, it will change the bigger box on the left of the "0:COM#" to a green box with the word "PASS!" in it. Once this happens, the phone will reboot on its own. Once the phone reboots, it's safe to disconnect from the computer.
And that's it. You've skipped trying to use the crappy KIES software and you've successfully installed GB27 (JB 4.1.2)! I'd say it's time to celebrate!
Hope this helps you. Cheers! :beer:
(alternatively you could just follow the instructions from the page where you download your ODIN tool from... Thanks to "Admin" from that website for the post, garwynn from here for leading me there, and QBKing77 for instructions that taught me how to do this back when ICS just released for this phone. )

No. Use a NODATA rooted FL24, install Titanium (PRO highly recommended), and backup all your apps, call log, sms inbox, etc.
Then put the Titanium Backup folder from your SDcard on a PC (or somewhere else safe, off the internal storage. External SD card is ok too).
Then run the RESTORE ROOTED GB27, which will repartition your internal storage, likely wiping everything. This is why you moved your backups. Install Titanium and restore your backup. Reboot.
Then reboot to recovery and do a nandroid backup. Copy this backup to your PC for futureproofing.
Now, if you want to be unrooted, you can Odin a NODATA UNROOTED GB27, and you should have all your apps and such intact, without root access.

When I first got my epic I installed a 1 click root on it. I have no idea which one it is as its been a while. I have been wanting to upgrade my phone to nebula's 1.0.7 rom so I can run 2.2 on it. I would first like to put my phone back to 100% out of the box factory everything before I go and do this. I have been reading the android development section for the epic but all the links I click on to download the software I need are all down. Pages are all comming up unavailable. Is there anyway I can get some help with getting the files I need and also a quick step by step on how to do this? Thank you in advance, il post my current software installed below
Kernal version: 2.6.29

Well after tons and tons of searching I was finally able to get odin and the stock DI18 downloaded. Now I ran into another problem, Im trying to do the 1 click root with clockwork and I cant download it. Keeps comming up as a virus and wont let me download it. Trying to get syndicates rom installed.

Ok check it out... I used this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XrE7D_Raw4 I followed STEP BY STEP and it worked. Make sure you have the ROM you want in your SD card and flash BEFORE you reboot after you set up CWM for the first time. Make sense? Lol... If you want 100% out of the box factory, download ODIN 1.61, open ODIN, put your phone on DOWNLOAD MODE (HOLD 1 and POWER button at the same time til you see yellow droid dude with a shovel). Connect your phone via USB cable. On ODIN window, put SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar on PDA section and s1_odin_20100512.pit on PIT section. After you do that, UNCHECK F.Reset Time and click START (Leave Auto Reboot checked). Let it do its thang. Your phone should reboot and BAM!! Hello 100% out of the box factory. I used this method at least 4 times while trying to figure out what ROM was best for my girlfriend. Haha. Hope this helps!
I've been looking everywhere for ODIN and it always leads to the SDX link that's down. Any links?
So will a computer with no protection allow me to download it? I ignored the warning anyway and downloaded it to my desktop but it didn't show up, no file was there. I'm sure that's just mse just blocking it out. Already have the rom downloaded and ready to go, just need to install a 1 click root with clockwork before I can install the rom.
Also figured out odin and have my phone back to out of the box stock so I'm ready to start trying some roms. Thanks for the help thus far.

Ok so I finally figured it out and clockwork installed. Now im trying to install nebula's rom to see how I like it. I booted into system recovery but I dont know the keys. I figured out how to go up and down but what key is enter?
Yea i don't see why not. Hmmmm. Try saving it in your downloads. Don't know why the file isn't showing up...
The enter button is your HOME button at the bottom...
Or the MENU button but im almost sure its the home.
Ahhh thanks.
No prob SIR =)
Heres another question for ya. I got clockwork installed and I want to install syndicates rom now. I have the zip on my sd card but when I boot to system recovery it doesnt show up. Am I doing something wrong?
Did you go into your SD card through CWM?
On stock GB EI22. Cannot currently use ODIN. More details on that here, for the curious: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375005
Question:
In my current state, is it possible to flash a stock EC05 from the default recovery?
I could then use one of the root methods without ODIN, then get CWM, then flash back to GB using a rooted kernel / custom ROM...
Just flash an EC05 ROM, you are rooted right? Reread it...guess not. No, there is nothing you can flash from stock recovery that will take you back to EC05 from GB.

Give Heimdall a try. It has it's own drivers.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I had tried Heimdall from a Macbook Air as well (in addition to the other 4 computers I mentioned in the reference thread). It did not work. It did not do anything, similiar to Windows.
However, I did manage to get ODIN to work!!! Same setup I've always used, which until this incident, had always worked (same PC, same USB port, same cable, same phone, same person, same room in the house, etc.).
The only thing I did was uninstall the drivers completely, then reinstall, rebooting in between every step.
Afterwards, I opened ODIN, put phone in download mode, and BAM!, like magic, it worked again. 7 seconds later, I had CWM (ACS 5 1.0.0.0) installed!
Now, I am not sure it had anything to do with re-installing the drivers because:
1. I had the phone briefly connect once during the 4-ish day period... I was booted into Android, Windows did the USB connected sound and I saw "Samsung" under USB Devices in Device Manager. Then, when I removed the cable and booted into download mode, nothing...
2. I expected to hear the USB connection sound, regardless if the drivers worked on not. I would then expect to get a message stating "Could not install drivers" or something to that extent. Perhaps my perception is wrong?
3. No other computer, which had the drivers freshly installed, detected the phone, even with the same USB cable I know works.
Anyways, once CWM was in place, rooting took another few seconds. Ti Backup restored and all seems to be well.
Thanks everyone!
Yup. Happened to me too once. Out of the blue my computer would not recognize my phone with usb debugging on. Reinstalled the drivers and it was fine.

Thanks, I'm trying to convince my GF to get the sgs2, she's on USCC. This will come in handy.
I actually put together a more streamlined package on the other thread. If someone could test it out, that would help others.
Inspired by the above enthusiasm, I put together a quick package to simplify rooting for your phone (if I had a phone to use, I could put together something even simpler)
Keep in mind, I'm doing this all "blind" since I don't have a phone. This procedure might not work, but should be pretty close to working. With some feedback I can fix it up quickly.
Thanks - chris41g for EK02+CWM zImage, themac79 for FB14 zImage, Margey for testing and helping work out root procedure
1) download the USCC rooting package [USCCROOT-sfx.exe]
2) extract the files
USCCROOT-sfx.exe is a 7zip self-extractor that contains all the files you'll need. Just double-click in windows and specify where you want to extract, we'll assume C:\
3) connect phone to PC
make sure USB drivers are installed
enable USB debugging (menu->settings->applications->development)
4) install E4GT EK02 kernel+CWM using ODIN OneClick
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\e4gtauto-sfx.exe
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SPH-D710.EK02_KERNEL_CWM-OneClick.exe (thanks chris41g for zImage)
E4GTAUTO: select Option E (Extra Options), then Option H (Reboot to ODIN Download Mode), press any key to continue, then select Option J (Previous Menu)
ODIN-OC: Wait until yellow COM port shows up in ODIN OneClick window
ODIN-OC: Press Start on the ODIN OneClick screen
Phone will reboot when done
ODIN-OC: Close the ODIN OneClick window
5) Install persistent root
E4GTAUTO: select Option A (Install Root)
E4GTAUTO: when done, press any key to reboot, then any key to continue
6) install USCC FB14 kernel using ODIN OneClick
double-click on C:\USCCROOT\SCH-R760.FB14_KERNEL-OneClick.exe (thanks themac79 for zImage)

anyone working on an ICS rom for the US Cellular version? Shouldn't be too hard since it's basically identical to our phone. The source was released a few days ago I believe.

Hi All,
I'm getting ready to replace my USCC Mez with something new.
I'm torn between the Galaxy S II and the Aviator.
My main concern with either is the availability of custom ROMs and extensive development.
Which phone would be better in your opinion?
Are there any custom ROMs for either phone yet?
My searching has turned up a few discussions, but no real useful info.
Thanks in advance,

Is there any information on how to backup your current rom or flash back to stock rom? I'm really paranoid and I'm trying to be as cautious as possible about this so I don't brick my phone, also so I have a backup plan in case something goes wrong and I have to send it in or something.

Hello.
Let me start by saying I am not new to Android, but totally clueless when it comes to Samsung. I have owned a few HTC handsets and have become fairly comfortable with all things root on those devices. So I have an understanding of how things work, just having some trouble trying to unroot and return my gf's E4GT to stock.
Some background: my gf got the phone from a coworker and it was already rooted. She didn't know this until she tried to accept the OTA update a few days ago. Of course, upon reboot, it went to the ACS recovery screen. A simple reboot and the phone is running...just with no update. I told her what that meant and she asked if I could put it back to stock. So I began my research here and brought me to the point I'm at now.
I'm a huge fan of qbking77. His videos have helped me on all my HTC devices. So I went to his channel and found the video below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vmEmheJnyg
Downloaded all drivers (Kies), Odin3 v1.85, and the EL29 tar file linked in his video. Installed and setup everything on my Windows 7 x64 desktop. Plugged the phone in and mounted USB storage to install those drivers, unmounted, unplugged the phone, the rebooted the computer and phone. After everything restarted, I opened Odin, put the phone into downloading mode (vol down + power button, the vol up to confirm) and plugged phone into the computer to allow those drivers to install. Pulled phone battery, unplugged from computer, rebooted computer and restarted phone. At this point, I am ready to go.
Opened Odin again, clicked the PDA button, selected the tar file and verified it was there, unchecked every tick box EXCEPT auto-restart in the upper-left of the Odin window. Powered off the phone, put it into downloading mode once again and connected it to the computer. Got the yellow box with COM:4 Hit start and got the message "The parameters are incorrect". Of course, I tried it a few more times...all with the same result. I posted a comment to the YouTube video linked above and qbking77 responded quickly with a suggestion to try running Odin as administrator. I tried that and got the same error message.
I have redownloaded the drivers, Odin and the tar file to ensure it wasn't a bad download. So I'm at a loss at to where to go next.
Here's the current phone info if it helps:
Baseband: S: D710.10 S.EL29
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-SPH-D710.EK02-CL704398
Could the EK02 kernel being used with the EL29 ROM be causing the problem? I have downloaded both the EK02 OdinOC tar as well as the EL29 kernel, but after reading a few threads of bricking, I'm kind of at a standstill lol. Not sure if I should just flash the kernel through CWM and try again. Or run the OC EK02 and see if that works.
Also, when I unzipped the downloaded tar file, that file is actually a tar.md5 file. Is this normal? Also, there's a SS.dll file in that zip. Should I be doing something with that?
Sorry for the longwinded post. And thanks in advance for any guidance you can give me.
Here's a screenshot of the error I've described.

Thank you.
I am guessing I need to run this, THEN run the other EL29 to unroot? It looks like this link will get it back to stock, but rooted.
Seriously people...
Here:
This One-Click ODIN contains the STOCK EL29 Modem, Kernel, and ROM for the E4GT.
The ONLY change was the addition of ROOT to the ROM. NOTHING else was changed. If you made no other changes, you WOULD be able to install an OTA patch update (based off of EL29) on top of this w/o issues.
This will NOT trigger the Yellow Triangle NOR will it increment the ODIN flash count.
This does NOT have the issue with the USB jig being disabled.
This is equivalent to using the Auto Root Package on a stock ROM. In fact, if you used that package to UNROOT (Option B) this ROM then it would become 100% stock. After flashing this all functions of that package will be functional.

Reading is fundamental.
Got it back to stock. Thanks again.
I'm going back to stock today so i can return my phone back to Sprint since it's jacked up. When going back to EL29, can i then push the OTA update? What is the latest version of stock on our device?
EDIT: EL29, but FF18 was released but has caused phones to brick? or it suck? I'll be fine on EL29 when I return it... I think.
Hi all,
So I got the txt message from AT&T about upgrade available.
So I opened Keis and let it update. (I have a whole seperate issue with Kies; it will only read my Glide about 10% of the time).
Once I FINALLY got it to connect to my phone, I began the update process. FAIL
fail, fail, fail, 4 hours of fail.
i've tried every recommendation from every post i';ve come across, including uninstalling keis, running reg cleaner, rebooting, reinstalling.
i've trie 3 diff version of the samsung usb driver program, whatever u search for on this forum and google, i've tried it.
The best I have gotten is for Kies to actually recognize my phone and begin the update process, a few times, I saw no progress bar on the phone and the Kies window stayed on 0%.
The first time I actually sw a progress bar on my phone, it moved about 1/8th of an inch and stopped. I left if overnight, and when I got up this morning, it was the same.
So again today, on a different computer, I created a new user profile and tried some more; nada.
So I'm so desperate for ICS on this phone, I tried using that one click release of the leaked ICS, same thing. several times of not recognizing the phone, then finally
the progress bar on the phone moved a little bit, so I left it for over an hour and it didn't move.
At least this time, I could see that it was hung on the bootloader part.
I've tried this on two diff Win7 x64 machines and an XP pro machine; all the same results.
interesting part:
Once last night, I kept my temp folder open while Kies was doing it's thing, and I grabbed this file:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_Sgf7j8WktibEJ4NXVva08zYmM
(i couldn't find any free file share sites that would let me upload a file this big.)
This is the actual ROM (or whatever you would call it)
Kies downloaded a file and named it whatever.tmp, as soon as I saw it, I copied it and extracted the contents with uniextract - that is where I got this .tar file from.
So what can I do with this file to install ICS on my phone?
I did try renaming it update.zip and copying it to my sdcard, I tried to "install update from sdcard", but I get an error about it not being signed.
For anyone who doesn't want to download a 600+MB file, this is what's inside it:
boot.img
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
recovery.img
Not too sure if this belongs in development. It's a question, but the file is development purposes . Anyway you can use boot.img and a system dump of the official ICS to make a flashable zip, or theme some system apps, etc. The possibilites are endless

Hi all,
So I got the txt message from AT&T about upgrade available.
So I opened Keis and let it update. (I have a whole seperate issue with Kies; it will only read my Glide about 10% of the time).
Once I FINALLY got it to connect to my phone, I began the update process. FAIL
fail, fail, fail, 4 hours of fail.
i've tried every recommendation from every post i';ve come across, including uninstalling keis, running reg cleaner, rebooting, reinstalling.
i've trie 3 diff version of the samsung usb driver program, whatever u search for on this forum and google, i've tried it.
The best I have gotten is for Kies to actually recognize my phone and begin the update process, a few times, I saw no progress bar on the phone and the Kies window stayed on 0%.
The first time I actually sw a progress bar on my phone, it moved about 1/8th of an inch and stopped. I left if overnight, and when I got up this morning, it was the same.
So again today, on a different computer, I created a new user profile and tried some more; nada.
So I'm so desperate for ICS on this phone, I tried using that one click release of the leaked ICS, same thing. several times of not recognizing the phone, then finally
the progress bar on the phone moved a little bit, so I left it for over an hour and it didn't move.
At least this time, I could see that it was hung on the bootloader part.
I've tried this on two diff Win7 x64 machines and an XP pro machine; all the same results.
interesting part:
Once last night, I kept my temp folder open while Kies was doing it's thing, and I grabbed this file:

You should be able to flash that with ODIN
Fact, this is the same file I downloaded from http://www.hotfile.com/dl/170800037/7fd1f5e/I927UCLH2_I927ATTLH2_ATT.zip.html
Worked flashing with ODIN on a unlocked Rogers I927R

Power Phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, Pressing POWER and VOLUME UP till it boots
Using ODIN 1.85
wait for phone to appear
Uncheck F. Reset Time (only AUTO REBOOT should be checked)
Check the box next to PDA
using the PDA button select the .tar file
Press start, sit back and drink a beer
Then apply CWM I prefer 5.0.27 "EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS YOU INSTALLED THE ROM WITH ODIN" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458153 (it's not touch, but it keeps backups in img form rather than the .blob like CWM6. just make's it easier to handle backups.
In CWM "If you want root", apply http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
In CWM apply the LH2 Keyboard backlight fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848433
Its running pretty smooth so far, no major issues to report: but I had the camera giving me issues till I cleared data form the app. still gave a few stutters then the whole phone started running well after a few reboots and some settling time.

Thanks for you replies. I appreciate it very much.
(here's something weird, when viewing post in thread, it stops after the word beer. I didn't see the other stuff until I clicked reply :-/ )
unfortunately, it's doing the same thing as before... ODIN is stuck on boot.img for about ten minutes now
any thoughts.... anyone?
I want ICS on this phone SO bad.
( would it be related to the fact that I substituted beer for southern comfort? )
A few posts up I posted a link to a download of the new update that is what I used It worked perfectly. Extract from the zip and you'll have a .tar.md5 file which just makes ODIN Check the md5 sum before flashing

I checked your files md5 sum to the .tar file I used, and they are the same cbd0c11c1aa578f6bcdb06099b5d3102 so you should be good to go flashing the .tar file you captured during the keis install. Maybe try flashing CWM first boot into it and format everything then try installing the rom via ODIN. Try a new cable and/or make sure the phone is plugged into a usb plug in the rear of the computer.

That is a real bummer, I'm sorry it didn't work for you. It should only take a few minutes, I don't have any other ideas other than maybe try flashing the UCLG9 leak then re-trying to flash your tar file. The leak contains a new bootloader, I had flashed that a few weeks prior to the new update.
Also did you try flashing CWM with Odin just to see if it would flash seems like it's probably a computer problem rather then your phone.

Hello,
Sorry to 'thread-jack' but hopefully a minor annoyance.
Can someone post just the 'modem.bin' file from the I927UCLH2 update?
FYI, in hopes of enabling 3G/HSPA voice calling on Galaxy Tab 10.1..
Using European Tegra 2 based phone modem (from I9103), 2G voice calling works.
Trying to avoid downloading the entire .tar for one file =p
To clarify - European Tab 10.1 users are fine; AT&T and Rogers Tab 10.1 users can currently use 2G only.
T-Mobile - apparently 'their' phone counterpart uses a combo of 2 modem-related files?
But I digress... (don't think I can embed links yet) thread is in Tab 10.1 Dev forum.
Thank you!

i did try flashing the CWM and it did the same thing stalling after about one second into it, same with UCLG9 leak one-click executable. (at least using that told me it was stuck on trying to flash the boot image)
I'm about to build a fresh win7 x86 VM with nothing but .net and VC++ runtime installed, to rule out both my living room and home office comps as the problem.
if it still don't work, the i'll build a fresh ubuntu VM and try it with heindall
Thank you, enewman17, for all your help. it is really appreciated. :good:
if it still don't work, i will call Samsung and demand a replacement phone.

I used rom from 1st post and it's working flawless but is there any way to "super-duper" wipe this phone? after update I still have all my data, programs and even unlocked simlock. I will probably send it on warranty so I would like to have stock rom
edit: i think ICS is much slower than GB

Settings --> Back up and reset ---> Factory data Reset.....As it states this erases all data on the phone.
I'm getting it to boot up after cwmr but it hangs on the installing applications screen. Left it for an hour and still the same
are you kidding me?!?!
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
ok, so here's what finally worked:
using a different USB cable that i found laying around.
for all of samsung's rhetoric about "only use the oem data cable" "never use anything but the oem data cable" "blah blah oem usb cable blah blah"
after trying this on like 6 different computers all with same results, i just found a usb cable laying around at work and decided to try it, just for the heck of it - IT DIDNT TAKE 5 MINUTES TO FLASH!
I AM NOW ICE CREAM SANDWICH!
seriously, FOUR days of banging my head on the wall, and it was the freaking OEM data cable that was the problem.

Same flash problem here, same exact solution. Flimsy micro-USB cable was the culprit. ODIN would get partially through and almost always fail during SetupConnection or Initialzation or NAND Write Start. Wasted about 12 hours testing a dozen possible causes. Changed to the thicker OEM cord and BAM!
Thanks!!
Funnny what a cable could do lol
