I've gone through 3-4 different posts/guides that supposedly have links to the tar file to go back to UCDLK3. But in the links are broken.
I did go to Sammobile, and it only has a Kies version (I don't even know how to use that).
Can anyone point me to the .tar download?
[EDIT]
Never mind. I found my file. I thought I had it...but it wasn't where I expected.

Hey guys im having a bit of an issue when trying to flash the official FCO6 Stock rom through odin. I have v1.85 and 1.87 and both show the same thing. I have the victory pit file and the SPH-D700-FC09-8GB-REL.TAR.MD5 file both on my desktop but when my phone is plugged in and ready to go, and I click PDA on odin and go to desktop, it isn't their. The victory file shows up and I place that In it's correct place but the md5 does not. No matter where I put it? anyone have any suggestions so I can odin my phone?
try erasing the .md5 part at the end
Try the phone slot instead.

Hey guys I have this exact same problem right now. My phone is in a bootloop so I am trying to odin back to stock but the FC09 file will not show up. I have tried removing the .md5 as well but that does not work either. I have tried deleting and re-downloading 3 times. I know the file is there 100% and I know I am looking in the right folder 100%.
edit: this is odin 1.87 and I have tried the phone slot with the same results.
edit #2: I am sure someone else will run into this problem someday since two of us have. Apparently this is the only file you will ever unzip. I have it so ground into my head to never unzip anything I didn't think of that

Try the updated version of Odin. http://db.tt/OIEtTUxn
I have my phone flashed to UCALK7 in AT&T store. I wonder if it is possible to get actual tar.md5 file somehow. One option I can think of is to use Kies emergency repair option. It seems to download the whole file when I tried it last time. I assume that it would store it somewhere.
Has anyone tried something like that?
Ok, so I attempted to download a couple of roms from this site, used Odin to install TWRP recovery. Problem is every rom I attempt to download is hosted from an incredibly slow site, so it takes 3 hours to download a single rom. I would like to return to stock, BONE STOCK. I remember with my Sprint Epic 4G I was able to download a tar/pit file that had the original modem and rom in 2 files: a PIT file, and a TAR File. Using Odin to flash this would return my phone to factory/bone stock configuration getting rid of all recovery/root/ect. I would like to know if there is such a file for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S-2.
Anyone know?
My phone has been useless for the last 9 hours and every rom ive downloaded has not worked at all. (No Signal, No gapps, Not booting/black screen hang, ect)
I know I can download a similar app from HTC that will restore an HTC phone to stock settings, what about Samsung?
Also, does anyone know where I can download the latest ClockworkMod RECOVERY from so I can try to flash roms with that? I was thinking this TWRP recovery is the issue.
Thanks!
Have you read the stickies?
[HOWTO] ROOT, Install ClockworkMod Touch Recovery & get into Download Mode for newbie. It also has instructions for using Odin to get back to stock.
For the latest CWM...have you searched in the dev thread? Used Google/Bing?

I have read the stickies, in particular the one you attached. I also searched google (and bing, its still default on this pc) for the latest version of CWR, links I found are dead. Still didnt see anything in regards to what I asked specifically. Is there a way to restore, VIA ODIN, a STOCK ROM (PIT and TAR Files) similar to what was available with the older samsung Galaxy? I just downloaded the Jedi ROM and it actually booted with a signal, so Im giving it the "10 minutes" before I touch it. (Bummer everyone uses this wierd Dev Hosting site to host the files, download speeds of 37KB/sec are crazy slow with a 400+MB File).
I Thought about using Kies to restore to stock, not sure if thats even possible with a phone that has no rom installed since Ive never used Kies before. Guess I'll find out how well this rom works.

Im not trying to be a **** but you couldnt have searched. If you followed the link for an Odin file in the page I linked earlier, it would have led you to THIS page which has a working download link for stock Odin (Gingerbread).
If you would have Googled exactly what you want, the 2nd result would give you the ICS download.
And Google also returns the main page for CWM
Hope that helps.

I dont think your trying to be a **** at all so its all good, id tell anyone the same thing, I did do several searches searches, but sifting through 900+ pages in one of hundreds of threads is a little daunting...
Also the link I believe your referring to (http://www.technoxide.com/2012/11/galaxy-s2-jelly-bean-4.1.2-I9100XXLSJ-update.html) <<No 2 in google results for a Samsung i9100 SGS2, I downloaded that one, installed it, had a black screen after the samsung logo and the phone started getting very hot after I let it sit for 15 mins or so. Tried rebooting several times, same thing.. The model number for mine is a SGH-T989, are they the same? I tried that link and followed its instructions anyways, and like I said, no go...
Thanks tho man I do appreciate it, all is well with the Jedi Rom, seems to be working awesome without the bloat.. (Just took 3.5 hrs to download from that janky hosting site its on.)

Erm...the 2nd result was THIS thread, and partway down the page is THIS link listed as "T-Mobile SGH-T989_UVLI4 (Stock Odin ROM)" on the page.
Glad Jedi is working for you.
edit: oh. You dont have a T989 looks like you have an I9100? Might poke around the I9100 forum to find your Odin image.
hello guys. i had rooted my sons tablet and something messed up on it, and he did a factory reset through the settings menu. EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM HUNDREDS OF TIMES NOT TO DO THAT. he never listens....
Anyway, the deed is done... now the tablet wont boot up. i bought this tablet because samsungs are easy to work on. the problem that i am having is that every ROM i can find is a zip file and not a tar.
can anyone help me find a rom rooted or not in tar format? i did look on the sammobile page, but i cant find the united states on the website. and it says not to install a file from a different country..
please help
Good evening folks. I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
First id like to start off thanking everyone for whatever help I can get. I know I've come to the place where I can get some help.
I apologize in advance If I'm lacking any info in my post.
I REALLY NEED HELP.:crying::crying::crying:
I have a rooted metro pcs galaxy s4
I have recently started having a really slow phone. Slow is a understatement actually.
Everything freezes up and I cant do anything with it. I DO have root access.
Anything I try to do such as enter the phone settings, an app or simply try make a call just seems to take a ton of processing power and eventually glitches or freezes up and force closes themselves.
It reminds me of a computer that doesn't have enough memory in it.
I installed some app in the play store that required root access called adjbrightness and ever since then my phone has been crazy slow with apps and services crashing.
I cannot be certain this app had anythinto do with my problem though.
I cant even make a call Its soooo bad.. GGRRrrrrrrrrr......:crying::crying::crying:
I installed one click kango root about a month ago and definitely haven't had any problems until about a week or so ago.
Since then iv tried everything. I'm pretty good with android phones too. I'm always helping ppl fix slow phones or computers.
I fear I may have force stopped or disabled a critical system function or service by accident.
Iv done the following already...
-Factory reset first then uninstalled the root.
-Ever since I unrooted today, I am unsure if I can or should or even could do a factory reset now. Because if I try to do it upon reboot, a warning states that installing custom roms can be damaging to my phone. Um.... Yikes!
-I formatted and removed my SD card.
-Prior to unrooting I did do factory reset several times without results.
I'm really freaking out.
I know this was something that could happen upon rooting as a risk I was taking.
I feel this issue was somehow due to the root access ultimately and that something in the rom (or what not) is glitching badly or some code is just missing.
- I never installed custom rom or messed with the rom that I know of.
-I never messed with any kernels or clocking methods because that's all too scary for me.
-I really didn't mess with things I didn't understand.
I rooted mainly to save battery and ditch some factory bloatware. I'm sure yall can relate.
Oh and I didn't download anything from porn sites, don't worry. HAHA.
Pleeeeeeese, please PLEASE, help lead me on the right path and I will be your best friend for ever.... I just haven't a clue what the issue could be. :crying::crying::crying:
Thank you so much for any and all help in advance.
THX!!!!! K++

I would suggest you download the latest metropcs firmware for your device and flash with Odin. Don't worry about the warning, it's supposed to say that. Hopefully you don't have any important info or media that you haven't backed up. If so, back it up before you flash. After the flash, boot straight into recovery and do a factory reset. After that you will start off fresh and your phone should be back to normal

Just saw this right now and if you still need help I might be able to help. I'm also on MetroPCS. That firmware you downloaded is a t-mobile one and I'm not sure what version it is but download the stock one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tock-base-metropcs-4-4-4-fni3-galaxy-t2899701 then flash it in Odin . After flashing it set it up and all that stuff and do the software update. It'll update your modem to NK3 which is the latest. I'd say use it for about a week and see if it's good or you can just root it right away if you want. I used CF auto root for M919 to root my M919N (MetroPCS version of the S4). For recovery I use TWRP jfltmo. After that just make a backup and keep it on your computer or SD card just incase something happens again so you can flash the backup. If you want to flash a ROM I recommend Hispasian ROM (currently using) or Insane Hybrid. Both are really stable and fast ROMS.
Howdy folks, I want to start off saying that Thank you so much for helping me. XDA is a awesome place.
"lordodin" is helping me with this issue in another thread i created although I amgetting anxious to figure this out as i cannot make any calls on my phone and today's my day off work. I hope I am not being too rude by posting my question here too.
-Im following the instructions in the official T-Mobile SGS4 thread in order to run odin here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2258628
I have odin 3.9 (and 3.07) and know to select the tar file with PDA/AD button.
although i cannot find the tar file.,
I know the fix tp this lies n the step requiring me to extract the tar file from the 7zip/zip archive,
yet I see no file with that 7zip/zip name or extension to do so. Im honestly tried everything AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!
I downloaded all files needed.... triangle away, odin zip, and the mdl zip.
I placed all rooting files on desktop to locate easier and I am always running odin in admin.
I see the issue was solved somewhere else by completing the step requiring to me to extract the tar file from the 7zip/zip archive this step is confusing the heck out of me.....
I even download the 7zip unpacking program from the web hoping it may recognize a TAR file I may have missed with no avail. . Is 7zip a file type?
When i unpack the odin file all i see is the following
-Odin3 v3.07 (or the 3.9 version respectively)(application)
-Odin3(configuration setting)
-tmax.dll(app extention)
-zlib.dll(app extention)
As i said "lordodin" is helping me in another thread with this very issue which is super appreciated. Thx lordodin!!!!
AARRRRG please help folks. Iv been reading everywhere and im stuck....
