[How To] Root FB17 after flashing stock unrooted .tar

I've had no success in flashing the pre rooted .zips through clockwork. Shabby's would not boot past samsung screen for me and the other one posted in general by saladinacc had no data. When I flashed the .tar everything worked fine just had no root. Here's the way I got root.
1. Download ODIN & flash FB17 .tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505437.
2. Download a GB kernel with built in recovery, I used Rogue Kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564.
Download .tar and flash through ODIN. Do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
3. Download SU.zip from here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Boot into CWM recovery and flash su.zip. Again, do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
4. Download stock FB17 ICS kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?f571n4e8wdhud21 and flash through CWM.
Reboot to system and you should have rooted stock FB17.
After flashing back the stock FB17 kernel you will lose clockwork.
This is just a quick and dirty work around until the devs release a pre rooted CWM zip.

im only trying this because i trust in b-reezy

Lol thanks bro. Its how I rooted mine, so it's tested and confirmed working by me. ;P
I finally jumped ship from the evo 3D to ET4G. Already started porting my old epic themes over. To both GB & ICS.

also which modem are you using?

I pm'd earlier and I am still lost. I cant flash the kernel in ODin. It keeps giving me an error saying MD5 invalid. Am I missing something.

thinking about giving this a try. Just one question, after Odin'ing the GB kernel, doesn't Odin Automatically try to reboot you into system? How do you stop it from doing that so you can boot into recovery and flash su...etc.?

Not sure about this but do you have to rename the file and take off the .md5?

I haven't tried yet, but can we just unselect the Auto-Reboot option in Odin? If not, just when the phone is about to reboot, hold down power and Volume Up and it should go back into Recovery.

will this just install recovery? or overwrite write and re root.. my phone is on metropcs dont know if it will ovewrite any of the setting pre installed and change them back to sprint
thank you guys HUGE diff between evo and ept4.. not ready to flash just know having a backup is #1.. flashing will come in a while when I catch up know that roms are riskier than im use to for the evo

That will just install recovery. Safest bet on the recovery is el26cwm.

ok i have been reding this is what i believe i have to do.... since i already have root access and on el29 i would just have to use auto root option C to install cwm
I read that el26 is the safest way to flash like you mentioned to flash any rom and should be flashed when flashing roms.. being a newbee still tryin to figure out how that works.. right now i have no idea how i would get to cwm el26 to the rom el29 that im on..
thank you i REALLY appreciate the answers im reading trying to catch up if i find my answers first ill edit i hope it doesn't bother anyone or if the questions have been answered before

Be VERY careful when messing or flashing ANYTHING.
Wouldn't want you to ruin a nice phone. =D

You can flash any GB ROM with the EL29 rogue recovery unless the install instructions for a ROM says otherwise. If you're going to flash an ICS ROM use the EL26 kernel or you risk bricking.
You can use Odin to flash the EL26 kernel with CWM5 to your ROM. Make sure to put it in the PDA option of Odin and only have auto reboot checked.
You can find Odin3 v1.85 (to Odin the EL26 kernel with CWM) in the second post of this thread (the same one I linked before) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
The EL26 kernel can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514665

You're still on el29 right? and you have CWM?

That's right el29 with rogue recovery

have you tried reinstalling stock el29?
Try sfhub's el29 Odin one click, then use his auto root tool to install the el29 kernal with cwm. Before you do that, to save your data, go into recovery and do a nandroid backup.
Just so we are clear, this MAY or MAY NOT fix your issue.

[SOLVED] E:/ Errors after going back to stock

After I did the ODIN one-click. It says successful
But after it passes the S2 screen. I get all these bunch of E:/ errors saying it can't mount or file cannot be specified in red letters.
I got a new Epic 4G Touch so I'm trying to sell the other one.

Which one-click? Are you sure it was for the SPH-D710?

I also tried flashing the non-rooted via ODIN and same thing.
Think I may have hard-bricked it.

Maybe your cable is bad and it caused the partitions to be screwed up during the flash. It almost sounds like the data partition thing that was plaguing users for a while.
Try checking the option in Odin to wipe or reformat partitions. I'm not at the computer so I can't say exactly what box it is.

It's a brand new stock samsung sync cable. So doubt it's the cable, then again, new doesn't exactly mean it's functional
I will try your suggestion and will get back to you with the results

Here's what it should look like. Just click PDA then select the tar.md5 file and click start.

Is it suppose to stay on setupconnection for awhile?

Not really, maybe a few seconds. I always had trouble when I had the USB connected before opening Odin. I usually open Odin, boot into download mode, connect the USB, then after I see the COM port pop up I will select the tar and flash. I never really needed to select re-partition though.

Please tell me, i'm having the same issue as you

Instructions:
1: Download a GB TW ROM (EG30 STOCK ROM)
2: Download the provided pit file HERE
3: Open ODIN 3.x
4: Place the EG30 ROM in the PDA slot
5. Place the pit file in the PIT slot.
5a. Make sure the Re-partition box is checked (located on the left side)
6: Put your phone in download mode.
7. Plug it in, and click start
This method worked for me. It may or may not successfully work for you. So try at your own risk.

can i use a different GB rom (EL29) or do i use the one you linked me to?
the stock rom is in rar format and its a protective archive and i dont know the password

You could possibly use EL29 since the partitions are the same, you will need an EL29 PIT file. I suggest using what was already linked so that you don't have to go on a wild goose chase.
EG30 was the first GB release. Just use that then follow the OTA path up until FL24 ICS. Then use Kies to update to GB27.

[Q] Help! No operting system installed SPH-l900

In tring to flash a rom i took an extra step and accidently deleted the os.
Previous to this, two months back, i attempted to flash a couple diffrent Macksrom versions, allstar v5 being the one recently.
I havent had succes flashing any, when a ttempting to flash months ago i did get to flash perseus kernel.
Attempted to flash back to stock and unroot with odin, this past week but my sprint GN2 isnt regestring on odin.
Tried having odin up then download mode and visversa.
Tried different usb ports.
Even tried a diffrent pc, drivers are up to date on both and seems GN2 will not connect to odin.
Please help. Thanks

Using odin3 version 3.07 teal [com7] im not sure if its one click. The stock firmware is from samsung-updates.com the tutorial i watched said if com is teal to download drivers and it will be yellow and im ready for lash.
Aother question instead of the stock could i just flash the rom i intended to orginallly by
Unzipping and flashing the tar file via the pdf, even if its teal?

I would not recommend flashing an unzipped rom through odin. What you could do is just try to flash the tar version of twrp from goo.im. make sure its for this phone. Once flash bpot to recovery and flash.

Have you tried to restore? I had that happen to me. It said no os installed so I went back and restored my backup. What I think happened is that you are running a 4.2.2 ROM and you're trying to flash a 4.1 ROM and it causes some kind of conflict. I am not an expert but I think that's what happened in my case.

So I re partitioned my phone last week and screwed it bad. SO YES I DO NOT HAVE A OS. but I been trying for the past 3 hours to replace it. I downloaded the Stock rom for the SPH-L900 and tryed to replace it using ODIN 3.07 and ODIN 1.87. No joy. I get the "sboot.bin" fail error. I found another link that is supposed to take the phone back to 100% stock but the download in the link is saying a day or so of downloading due to me trying to use the public library's wifi....I honestly dont know if it will work but for those who are having problems with sboot.bin here is the link. I take no credit and I am not responsible if you melt your note II. Hell im gonna try it soon as I can so mine may be melted too. best of luck

I think you should strat by reseting your phone to its original state and you can to this following the tread of the toolbox(i'm browsing woth tapatalk now so i will try to come back and post the link but it should be easy to find). You will use triangle away in the process.
Then update your phone trough samsung kies.
Voila complete stock 4.3 with knox

Is there anyway to put the stock recovery tool back and doing the update without resetting the phone back to original state? I'm not exactly following what you mean by toolbox

I think you are looking for 4.1.2 stock recovery right???? Just making sure I understand, if I'm right I have what you need.

Hi, yes I just want to replace the clockwork recovery with the original Samsung recovery so I can upgrade to 4.3 over the air.
If that's what you are talking about please send a link.
They're are downloads for the t mobile Sprint ave Verizon variants but not AT&T...
Thanks

Stock 4.3 without the bootloader lock down.

You can update to 4.3 with a custom recovery, or flash it via ODIN.
Check it out before you do OTA.

I flashed the recovery below and tried to do OTA but it fails at 25% of the update process... Am I missing something?

Go for it.... I do have it if needed.. Otherwise, two files can be pushed to system to get the phone to do it for you ..

Can you still get to TWRP ? team win recovery ?? ....
But I think Zen's plan will be better.....

Here's the cwm/twrp zip for ucamc3 recovery.... (attached)
Note that the OTA may still fail if it detects anything missing or different than what it expects. In that case, a wipe of /system, then a revert to MA4, may be needed.

You want me to go back to TWRP? I have the stock recovery right now.

The simplest path is to reflash TWRP, then flash the recovery I provided above, then see if the OTA will complete.
You might also be able to get the OTA to complete by running the openscript option from TWRP .. I know DS has had some success with that, but ymmv. If you try this option, you may get more information about where the OTA fails - take note of that and report back.
If that doesn't work then the next option would be to wipe /system and then odin flash UCAMA4. This should get you a clean OTA path to 4.3, and your data and apps should be preserved (although there is some risk). I recommend making backups beforehand in TiBu and then copy your SDCard contents to PC.

Thanks for you help will report back later. have to wait another 20 hours to dl the OTA update again.

You can turn off auto update of network time and set your time ahead 24 hours.
An alternative if ota doesn't work is to flash the stock rooted mk6 package - odin or cwm odex... DS provided a link earlier.
If Knox is a work requirement, you would need to decline SuperSU offers to disable Knox and you would need to run SuperSU and request full unroot.
