Help installing ICS leak (I'm a noob)

Can someone guide me step by step on how to get ics on my captivate glide? I have absolutely no clue how/what rooting is and what roms are. I have looked on this forum for guides but I can't really understand them. So could someone please help me with step by step instructions on how to do this? Also, if I do this, will I be able to get the official ics when at&t releases it? Thanks

Keep in mind this will wipe all of your data, as well as the internal memory, so if you need to back up pictures or anything, now's the time to do it. This will leave you with a stock recovery, stock kernel, and unrooted AT&T stock rom with the typical AT&T bloatware. It should be fine to update to the official update once it comes out, but no one knows for sure. You'll want to have at least 50% battery, just to be on the safe side.
First, make sure you have Kies installed, so that you have the correct USB drivers. Download the 4.0.4 .exe file from here. Power off your phone, hold Volume Up and Power to turn it back on. Keep holding them until you get a screen warning you about custom software, and release, then press volume up again to enter download mode. Hook the phone up to your pc, and launch the .exe you downloaded. Click the start button, and wait patiently.
You can stop there, or you can root your device and fix the keyboard backlight bug in the leak as well as remove some bloatware if you want. For this, you'll need Odin 1.85, Clockworkmod Recovery, SuperUser 3.2 RC3, and the Keyboard Backlight fix.
Copy the backlight fix and super user zips to your internal memory, and reboot the phone into download mode using the same method as above. Connect the USB, and run Odin 1.85. Uncheck "F. Reset Time" and make sure that the only box checked is Auto Reboot, you shouldn't need to change anything. Click on the PDA button, and load the clockworkmod .md5 file you downloaded, then press the start button and wait for the device to reboot.
This time you'll reboot into recovery. Power the phone off, hold the volume down and power button to turn the phone one. Keep holding them until you see text about entering recovery in the top left, and release. Use the volume keys to navigate and power to select, and go to Install zip from sdcard. Select Choose zip from sdcard, and select the superuser zip you downloaded earlier. Select Yes, and wait for superuser to flash. Once that's finished, repeat the process, this time selecting the keyboard backlight fix zip. Next, we'll make a quick backup so you can restore to this point in case you mess anything up when removing bloatware. Select Backup and restore, and backup. This will take a bit, just be patient. When you're finished, select reboot system now, and you should be set.
From here, you can install something like Titanium Backup, which will use root access to let you remove the various AT&T bloatware.

I love you.

Perfect guide, thanks

bakageta's guide was great!
Being a regular part of the forum means that you get used to the jargon. But for someone starting off with Android ROMs, this is perfect.

Being new to the ics, I currently have my glide still stock, the only mods I have done are rooting, WiFi tethering fix, and gps fix. It still has the e3 recovery. Do I need to unroot, or anything it install ics? Also with the leaked ics, can I still use the WiFi tethering and such? Would it be worth installing considering battery life, cpu usage? How slow is it compared to the stock 2.3.5?
Thanks

Wifi tethering needs a fix, but there are instructions for how to do it in the development forum. You don't need to unroot or do anything special to install ICS, but you should make backups of important stuff just in case. My battery life is the same or slightly better than AT&T 2.3.5 stock, and the device doesn't feel any slower.

Thanks, it all sounds good. I'll look for the fix, I just dont want to loose what I already have! but on the other hand I'm ready for a change, ether a new phone or loading a new rom! I know the official update has just been released from att, I'm not sure if I should just wait for it to be offered here rooted or try the leaked version!

You can use any free or paid tethering as well.. I haven't run the fix because my foxfi still running fine.
Current System:
CWMR Touch 6.0.0.1 (Stable)

Thank YOU!!!!
Thank you so much for the help on this, extremely straightforward and thorough, A+++

Thanks bakageta for a great walk-through. I just picked up this phone for my better half who's used to having a keyboard (BlackBerry Pearl user) so I wanted to get her onto ICS and get the keyboard lighting issue fixed. I had an account on here previously but I hadn't logged in for over a year.
Cheers!

Help Phone won't boot to cow or rom!

So i decided to go back to cmw10 and did a wipe but all of a sudden my phone would just have a black screen. After i shut it down (pulling off battery) My phone would boot i would see the word samsung then black screen.... please help can i fix my problem through odin if so please tell me the steps.

If you can boot into download mode you can use Odin
The button command is either
volume up plus power plus home
Or volume down plus power plus home
I nvr remember the right one cause well I don't use Odin that much

First, you need to download the stock tar to flash onto the phone from Odin. The Jelly Bean zip file is here: http://d-h.st/GVs
All credit goes to Skunk Ape for this file, I hope he doesn't mind me posting it here.
Anyway, once this is downloaded and extracted, make sure you have the s3 drivers installed then start up Odin. In Odin, click on PDA and search for the file you extracted from the Jelly Bean zip (ends in .tar.md5) Let it do what Odin does and you should see the PDA ticker checked. Now switch over to your phone.
To get into download mode, hold the power and volume down button until it boots into download mode. Press the volume up button to actually get into download state and plug in the phone to the computer.
Odin should recognize the phone and you will see a light blue color above ID:COM with things written in it. Make sure the tickers that say "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked and no other option in that region. Once you see that, click on "Start" and let Odin run. It should take around 5-10 min to flash and the phone should restart itself. If it worked correctly your phone should boot fine. If it doesn't, you could try running Odin again or it might be a hardware issue.

Probably you've removed some necessary system files mistaking tit to be a bloatware - the easiest way to recover would be to re flash stock via odin

Forums don't work that way. It is about sharing information. So that others can search for the information can find it.
BTW - So how did you solve your problem?

I've had this problem before too with constant loops. I took the battery out, put it back in and rebooted holding Volume Up, Home and Power, and then wiped caches and factory reset, then rebooted and that worked. I've done this multiple times when reverting to a stock rom coming off a custom.

Volume Up, Home and Power combination is for Recovery mode.
Volume Down, Home and Power combination is for download mode.
Odin is a custom program you need to use to be able to flash certain kind of files (factory images, recoveries, modems, etc).

To go Into recovery mode hold Home +Volumen up and Power button , when you see Samsung Logo hold only Home and Vulome up for the next around 20 sec that you See the recovery menu.

Please help me !
I have the same problem, I've took the steps to aquire recovery but nothing happens

On my 8.0 recovery is power+volume up, no home button. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Try downloading an app like " rebooter" from the play store. See if that will get u into it.
Also I use power/vol up to get into recovery.

dude where can I get the recovery? please do share tge link ... I'm having the same problem!!

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids version (SM-T2105). It is only a Wifi tablet. I never rooted and USB debugging is not enabled (Keep this in mind). It is pure stock firmware. My 9yr old daughter has locked herself out. The Lock Screen password does not work. Because I can not gain access, I do not know exactly what firmware version it has or enable USB debugging (again - keep this in mind). The tablet will not boot to recovery mode, no matter what button combination I use. It only boots back to the Lock Screen. I tried in Regular Mode and Safe Mode. The only other mode that works is Download Mode (for Odin).
I am trying to do a Factory Reset, but I can not get into Recovery Mode. I tried flashing the stock firmware using Odin, but that does not work even after everthing PASSED with green lights (Odin 3.10.7). The tablet just reboots back to the same Lock Screen. Also, because the tablet is not enabled with USB debugging I can not do anything with ADB.
So basically I am stuck on the Lock Screen, and cant get into Recovery Mode in order to do a Factory Reset. Also, Odin flash is not working, even though everything says completed successfully. I have read in another post that other people are experiancing the same issue not being able to get into Recovery Mode (even when the tablet is not locked out and working fine). See this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/help/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-kids-t2105-t-t3294954
Can anyone help me. I beleive the tablet is stock in a soft brick that doesn't allow access to Recovery Mode. And the Locked Screen password is preventing me from getting into the table OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And my 9yr old daughter will be happy again...
Thanks,
ggee

Hello,
I'm not sure which one of these did the trick for me, but I was able to get into recovery mode. I'm not sure if your three tables are rooted or not, but I don't think it matters. Try these two methods:
Method #1:
Technically, I think I just stumbled on to this one after successfully completing Method #2 (below). But it's worth trying it first before moving on to Method #2.
-Hold the Home + Volume Up + Power buttons together at the same time (just like the normal process).
-Now, you will probably need to try this next step a couple of time before you get it right. This is because it happens pretty fast and you need to time it perfectly.
-Notice that when the screen turns on, the actual first thing that happens is that the the screen backlight turns on and glows first. This happens first and a split second later the first Samsung logo flashes.
-You need to let go of all three buttons at the same time as soon as you see the backlight turn on, but before the Samsung logo flashes.
This is the sweet spot, and it happens pretty fast. But once you do it at the right time, the tablet will go black again and then the recovey mode will show up. It works for me every time.
Method #2:
I thought somehow the recovey mode portion of the firmware had become corrupter somehow. So I decided to flash a custom recovery using Odin (since at that time I hadn't stumbled onto Method #1 yet). Make sure to download and flash the CWM or TWRP .tar file for Odin (I personally have always liked CWM over TWRP).
-Make sure you have all the correct USB drivers for the tablet installed on your computer.
-Open Odin and load the .tar file that you downloaded into the PDA or AP slot (depending on your Odin version).
-Let Odin check the m5d verification for successful authorization.
-Once Odin is ready, then boot the tablet into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down + Power button)
-Connect the table to a USB cable that is attached to your computer's main USB port.
-Odin should now recognize that the table it connected to a valid COM port.
-Click <Start> button on Odin and it should flash the costum recovey .tar file pretty quickly.
-The tablet will simultaneously flash a progress bar and start to automatically reboot (also pretty quickly).
-Disconnect the tablet from the USB cable now.
If the tablet does not automatically reboot to the new custom recovery screen, then just power off the tablet completely. Wait 30 seconds, and then boot the table to recovery mode use the Method #1 shown above. You should now be able to go into the new custom recovery mode you flashed with Odin (CMW or TWRP). It should all work now.
From this point you can download and install SuperSU to add root (if you want to).
Let me know if this works for you.

Worked great thanks

galaxy tab 3 model GT-P5210 rebooting cant enter recovery mode what can i do i reinstall software it doese the same things need to fix it

Bricked Phone

Hello, I have the A705FN/DS and I tried do Custom Recovery and ROOT but i'm suck on this screen ( https://imgur.com/lVOX4rt ), i can't boot in recovery or download mode, i can't use the phone, Someone can help me?! Already tried a lot of things on internet but nothing so far..

Try not to panic, I've seen this several times.
- Plug the charger cable into the phone.
- Press and hold all three buttons (up volume/ down volume / power) at the same time and keep holding them, wait (at least 10 seconds+), phone will reboot (keep holding all three buttons and wait), even if it says 'press power button to continue, wait), hold the buttons and wait. It may reboot again....
- Keep holding the buttons until the screen goes black then release all 3, this should take you to a blue screen, slightly different blue to the normal download screen, with 3 options:
1. Press the up button once and quickly to download a customer OS. <- Select this option.
2. Long press the up button to go in device bootlock mode.
3. Press 3 to restart.
Start ODIN and download/flash stock firmware for your phone.
If you do get to download mode, be sure to uncheck 'reboot automatically' in Odin, just in case you have some failures, you can click on the 'Reboot to download' in Odin without have to fuss about with all the button all the time.
You must reboot to download mode EVERY time a failure happens before trying to flash again, else you'll need to do the 3 finger thing all over again.....
Worked for me! :good:
Might take a few attempts to get to the download mode, but you should be able to recover it, no worries (had this last night).
Update if it works!

i installed trwp successfully. After that i decided to flash havok os. After that phone went into bootloop. It loads only to twrp and stacks on twrp logo screen(with its build number) no reaction on buttons. Any chances to do something with Odin?

First, make sure that you've the latest official firmware is downloaded on your computer. Then, prepare your phone's cable by connecting it's one end to the computer, keep the phone disconnected for now.
Open odin, prepare all the official firmware's files including ap, bl, csc etc. All of them. And make sure that you've selected the CSC file, NOT the HomeCSC..
Now, you should read this paragraph completely before taking action. First take yor phone and put you fingers over the volume buttons (both of them, up and down) and the power button. Wait until screen turns off (as you said, it was stucked on TWRP). Once it turns of and it's black, dont waste so much time and connect the other end of the cable to your phone and wait till a blue screen shows up.
Now, if the screen is showing you options like Download Mode or Bootloader Unlocking, tap to volume up to enter download mode. If it's not showing you options and it is showing a warning screen like the screen mentioned in the first entry up here, it's ok, you're in download mode.
Start the proccess with odin. Then tell me the result. If it stucks at the end of the 'SYSTEM' installing, tell me that before waiting longer than 10 minutes after all the sign of life dissapears in odin. Waiting for your respond ^^

Thank you very much! I will try that asap, since the official firmware still downloads(probably several hours). I just recorded a video of how things look right now.

Ok, tbh you're phone is in a nice condition. You can relax if you're not. Several hours? This seems long, if it is not about your network speed, I mean if you're installing the firmware from a website please try to install it via frija instead. You can find it here.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a70/how-to/galaxy-a70-firmware-list-variants-t3957239
And, please be sure that you're installing the right firmware for your model.
The only thing you should do is pressing all the buttons simultaneously and connect the phone to the computer while the phone's screen is off. Then enter the download mode.

Oh yes! Thank you, sir! i got to that blue screen.

I wanted to help but have no idea. Maybe you should ask this to your service provider?

I'm using the Samsung Galaxy A70 (SM-A705MN/DS) on T-Mobile. Got it on Amazon.
Came with case, earbuds, and 128G SD card, but only a USB-C to USB-C for charging. You'll need a different cable if you plan on rooting.
My post about it:

Rooted and running below, btw ?
Magisk 20.2, Manager 7.5.0
EdXposed Installer 2.2.5
Riru Core 19.5
Riru - EdXposed v0.4.5.1_beta (4463) (SandHook)

Hii, I think i brick my phone again.
i tried to update my phone for android 10 ( A705FN - Offical Firmware from SamFirm ) and after use odin to "flash" only AP, like the tuto i read, don't boot, its stuck on "samsung Galaxy A70 (...) Power by ANDROID "
Already tried go to TWRP or Download mode, but i can't, i press for 5 mits and nothing happens, already tried to use Volume Down + Volume Up + Power, and continuo restarting the phone and don't go to download mode.
Someone can help me, or tell me something can do?

Why only flashing ap? Flash all the files. Csc And Home_csc has a difference. if you flash csc, your data will be formatted. If you want to keep your data, flash home_csc. Dont flash only ap. How did you try to enter twrp? did you try to flash ap over a phone with custom recovery? Flash all the files. Hope you backed up your data. Try to flash all files with home csc, not only csc. if doesnt work, flash all the files but with csc this time.
To enter download mode, be sure that your phone's screen is black and connect the phone to pc at the same time you press all the buttons.
