The micro USB port on my phone is jacked up and I need to flash back to stock ROM,unroot and stock Android recovery so I can get a replacement . Is there a way to do it? My PC dosent recognize the phone when its plugged in. currently im running
EL 26 modem
EK02 kernel
Build Number Gingerbread EK02
Cwm recovery
Maybe MobileODIN?
(sorry, @ work, can't take the time to search n link here for you)
I would guess off the top of my head that M-odin and something from sfhub would do this?
Seeing as I've never used it, I am sure someone could clarify and/or say I'm full of ****e. ;-)

Yeah downloading the stock.tar to your phone and using Mobile Odin works great, just make sure that you don't have inject superuser clicked if you want to return it.
it looks everything needs to be done with CWM (rogue) or mobile odin.
Search the forum first to find the unrooted stock rom, modem and kernel.
Also, remove the odin count if it's non zero (if don't know, search 'triangle away').
If everything is downloaded on your phone or pc (you can connect your pc using es file explorer and move the file to your phone), be sure that kernel is applied at the very last moment.
The steps would be,
1. install zip file from sdcard - if you have a zip file which everything is on one zip, then you are just good to go.
2. Separate zip file - rom or modem first and kernel last within the same recovery session (without reboot)
If you use the mobile odin, everything should be done at the same time but I do not recommend this method because sometimes, the mobile odin misses some component and it could be a reason of phone bricked.

That's the reason why I'm recommending the 'triangle away'. This works without usb jig. If you odin count is bigger than zero, only use it. Flashing thru zip file does not increase the odin count.

So I can just flash this in cwm?
SPH-D710.EK02_CL704398-oc-sfx.exe
I thought this is the file that has stock ROM and stock recovery

Nope! That's the one-click self extract package being used for odin thru usb cable.
Don't even think about that.

Ya. I also spent about an hour to find the zip or tar file but no luck yet.
I remember that I downloaded original stock rom one time -SPH-D710_SPR_D710USEG30 and it has the home.tar file in it.
Keeping checking...

(download file and unzip. Use mobile odin to flash the .tar file)
I tried to find zip file but only rooted zip files exist. So, only one way would be using mobile odin.
Ok im downloading that now .So let me get this right,I unzip that file then open mobile Odin .scroll down a bit hit open Open file...select that file that is now unziped . Does that soind right so far??
Sorry for bugging just not familiar woth this and dont want to screw up since I cant use USB port ya know..

Sounds right:
This is below is all from sfhub he wrote instructions on his latest oneclick for using mobile odin:
Get the Full restore for EL29 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
FC15 here:
To install One-Clicks from the PHONE with out PC using Mobile Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551901
"Android - Install ZArchiver, then use it to unpack the ODIN OneClick 7zip self-extractor file in this section (long press *-oc-sfx.exe, Open as archive, Odin-OC, select *-OneClick.exe, Extract). Use Mobile ODIN to Open File the resulting *-OneClick.exe file. Mobile ODIN issue - modem might not flash consistently. Skip the remaining instructions that are windows ODIN specific (steps 3, 4, 5, 6)."
Ok so theese are one click files and I can use then with mobile Odin corrrect? Then the file that I asked you about earlier should work am I correct?

I don't know, I think you'd be fine with the EL29 too. I make sure I use the links from sfhub to get to stock. I can vouch for those - Bone Stock, Odin Count to Zero and no Triangle. That guys deserves loads of thanks for saving many an ass, mine included. And his instructions are dead simple and right on. Just take some time and read, read and then read again before you do anything. Then you should be OK.

The oc-sfx.exe files are actually 7zip self-extractors. When you double-click on them, they decompress the actual OneClick.exe file. Think of oc-sfx.exe as a zip file. You wouldn't feed a zip file directly to Mobile ODIN. You would unpack the zip file first, then give the file to Mobile ODIN. You can either unpack the oc-sfx.exe file on windows by double-clicking on it, or on your phone by using ZArchiver from the market.
Once you have extracted/decompressed the OneClick.exe file, feed that to Mobile ODIN.
Sorry for any confusion, but if I left these uncompressed, the files (and downloads) would be twice what they are now.

Yeah , I was really confused because I didnt know his oneclick.exe files can be used also with mobile odin,AND lol mostly cause for some reason I STILL tried opening it from mobile Odin but it wouldnt accept the file ,but thats because I unzipped it with Androzip. its what I already had on my phone and I thought it would do the job. Once I used Zarchive to unzip the one click.exe it DOES recognize the file! Now im just waiting for it to charge a lil
The man is pretty awesome n so helpful ! Its funny cause when I used his one click method months ago it was so easy. Just this time I cant do it thru a USB with PC

Another Ass Saved !!!!! (mines)
Seem to have gotten myself in another bind :/
Ok, so I flashed a ICS ROM and as usual I want to flash something else(I admit its a bad addiction! ). Unfortunately, my OEM cable isnt working and so odin can't recognize the phone!
SO I have mobile odin installed but I need the correct files. Never had to use it until now, I thought I had a correct kernel/recovery to flash but it says "partition not recognized"
So please mind that I will have to download the files DIRECTLY from my phone. I will seriously LOVE anyone who can help me out
Go to the wiki, found in the sticky section, you're looking for el26 kernel with cwm tar file. In mobile Odin, click kernel and find the file. Check md5 and go. During reboot, Press and hold volume up and power till you get to cwm. Do your wipes and flashing there. Good luck!

Assuming you are using something from the OneClick thread, you need to unpack the file first, either double-click the .exe in windows to unpack or use zarchiver on android. The resulting file can be use with Mobile ODIN using Open File.
Here's the el26 cwm kernel

There are several apps like Wifi File Browser that you can install on your phone that will allow you to transfer files back and forth from your pc/phone if necessary. Really nice to use too.
Can anyone help on how to downgrade from jelly bean?
I am not rooted by the way
You should be able to use one of the images posted here to downgrade to LI3. I am not sure if you will be able to keep your data or not, but it would be worth a try.

well you don't have to be rooted. first of all you need the original ICS stock, download it from the link below. just copy and past the link in your browser. in order to use this file you need an odin as well.

Odin download link:

download both files, open the odin and clik on PDA locate the first file you have downloaded, make sure you have unzip it.
get your phone in to the download mode and plug it in to your computer. Once Odin recognize your phone click Start. now wait till it finish the process and reboot.

You will lose data, btw.
I AM rooted and on jb, but I did a bad flash of a zip file like a half hour ago and my phones on an endless reboot/freezes. I want to go back stock..completely. Can I just follow the directions listed above (ie. download the file, transfer thru odin)?

how do i flash a zip file rom on download mode?? lost
Do you not have a cable to connect the phone to the computer ?
If not, perhaps you should buy one (they are cheap) before continuing on. I know you can transfer files without one, but it's really invaluable and I wouldn't start messing around in my phone without it in case something like this happened.
Do you have an SD card in the phone now ? Do you have an adapter or something ?

You don't flash zips in odin. Flash the fw .tar.md5 file.

Yes. Use Odin to install root66 from docs sticky thread in android development.

Yes just follow the directions step-by-step using the root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.7z file for T-mobile. Do NOT SKIP any steps. Also to note, after you flash, you will be on a completely stock rom but WITH root (rooted).

Well, the fw is just short for firmware. Not part of the file name.
Basically you download the version you want, UVDLJA for jb, UVALJ4 is the latest ics.
If you want pure stock, get the regular firmware. If you want root, use the root66 version. (Root66 is identical to stock fw but is pre-rooted).
Flash whichever one you choose and you will be fully stock.
If you go to the firmware thread in my sig you will find all available firmwares, regular and root66 (ignore the ota files).
In post 2 of the thread you will find Odin, Drivers and instructions. Look for the Odin Instructions, not Mobile Odin.
If you alreadyhave kies or drivrrs installed, don't reinstall them unless you're having problems.
Good luck! Ill try to keep popping in to see if you have any more questions.

Or use mrRobonsons thread. Whichever is easier.
Some get confused, but use 7zip to extract the root66 firmware.
Tbe file you flash in odin will have the extension: .tar.md5

@OP, make sure that you are reading and listening to what people are telling you. Everyone that posted in this thread has been in the same place as you and has recovered from it. Maybe gove a little bit more info. We all know Panic Mode when we see it, so just try to be clear and concise as you can.
I was wondering, does the latest CWM 6.0.4.3 have a tar.md5 version that I can use to flash the recovery via ODIN? I've digged through a few threads all over the place and tried Google searches but nothing comes up, either it's not available (only through ROM Manager) or I missed it somewhere.

Your othe option would be to use mobile odin from the play store, rename the .img to recovery.img and place in root of internal storage. then choose and flash with mobile odin.

That's true, but when wanting to switch from a stock non rooted rom to a custom rom, it makes it a lot easier and faster if I can simply get CWM and flash a rom instead of having to root the stock rom and then having to go through that process.

Good point. The last few times i have gone from stock to custom, i have used odin to flash a rooted stock. then I move forward from there since cwm .tars have been hard to find. I should have read your post more closely.
