Odin help

I am wanting to step into the realm of rooting and flashing but am a little nervous. I read about using Odin to go back to stock if anything goes wrong but when I try the link on Wiki it says the page is not there. I am trying to make sure I have all the tools ready just in case. Any help?

Check the dev forums stickies at the top and click on:
[How To] Return to stock / Fix bricked Epic
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Here's a link to make it so easy a caveman could do it:
Click Me!
In the future use the Search button in the upper right.

That is the link I have been trying but when I click it it takes me to a page saying
"ERROR 404 - PAGE NOT FOUND
Oops! Looks like the page you're looking for was moved or never existed.
Make sure you typed the correct URL or followed a valid link."

Working fine for me on multiple computers and my Epic.

I get the same error when trying to download the Odin3.rar

Sounds like a problem on your end then.
We need info like:
Browser
OS
etc.
Then maybe we can help.

Here is the link that is not working.
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3epic.rar
I tried it at home(Windows Vista, Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and IE 8.0) and on my epic(Midnight Rom 4.2 standard browser)and neither work.
I think the link is dead.

ICS 4.0.4 (korean) CWM-flashable (ZIP, includ. CWM Touch / ROOT)

The Wizard YongShi over at gfan.com did it!!!
Original Post here
Original ICS 4.0.4 (Korean for LU6200 only!!!) as CWM flashable Zip-Version.
Including CWM 5.8.2.0 (Touch-Version) and ROOT!!!
Original Link / Baidu
Mirror / Dropbox / Part 1 of 2
Mirror / Dropbox / Part 2 of 2
No more hassle with flashing a KDZ file first, after that rooting and whatever...
Just flash this Zip-file in CWM (no matter what Version 2.3.5 / ICS you have right now.
Please note:
Wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and also format cache/system/data/ (in "mounts and storage") before flashing the Zip-file or it won't boot after flashing!!!
After flash is finished, reboot into recovery and wipe cache/data/dalvik/battery and reboot system. Now you should be on ICS 4.0.4 and also rooted.

depending on the location, baidu storage can be extremely slow.
anyway, im really enjoying this update, but anyone knows if there is any possibility to get a stable version of CM9 for LU6200?

No CM9 for LU6200, i asked Ricardo (Dev) a long time ago. They never planned to port it to LU6200.
But with the ICS out, i see no need for CM9 at the moment.
@ali_alex: I will upload it to Dropbox and update the Link later.

Updated the Links, now also available on Dropbox.
@ali_alex: Can you give me some advice how you got the call logs working again? thanks

Set up your phone number
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Or use a old phone to set up phone number

Sorry for asking, but what exactly means setup the phone number? On the SIM card?
Before ICS on GB 2.3 i had a little app named Sim Toolkit, it installed automatically after i inserted my SIMcard. But that prog is not available anymore.
Weird thing is that i know that the call logs were working on the fresh installation of ICS.

Thanks. But not working for me, cant install the app. It says thats its not compatible with apps which share the same user ID.
Does this mean that everytime one gets a new phonecard, have to do this stuff?
I guess its a little embarrasing for users who dont know a lot about it.
I tried to associate my number with my SIM card on my wife's phone. But back in my phone the number is still not available.

I flashed the new ROM from gfan.com now. All is working well including call logs, still without "my number".
Also they managed to make the weird Icon on the upper right disspear and the ROM is already debloated. I just had to reinstall google apps pack.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4333749-1-1.html

that weird icon appears when the phone is in a situation where it can't make 3G video call.. which is usually available in Korea only.
anyway, how did you download the new version? I browsed the chinese forum, and.. i'm just lost there even after using google translator. could you upload the new one on somewhere else just like you did for the earlier one?
update: never mind, i found a way to download it. have you noticed any performance difference between the first release and the v4?

Thanks for clarifiying what that weird logo is for.
It's definitly faster and the battery time is also better. With the stock ICS my RAM usage was going up without doing much,
and now on that ROM the usage is half with same configuration/apps.
The guys have lot of experiences in making custom ROMs, and for me it works.

Thanks so much for sharing the files on dropbox, currently still downloading them. Btw, when you boot with this rom, does the ICS engineer version message on the upper left of the screen pop up?
And after the animated boot logo finishes, does "Android is Upgrading.. Optimizing Applications" also show up?
If you have a download link of gapps for LU6200, I'd appreciate it a lot if you can share it.
Thanks again!

Please note, that the ROM on Dropbox is the ICS 4.0.4 already rooted with CWM Touch but not debloated, that means untouched.
The link i posted later is a new debloated and optimized version but they also debloated google apps.
You can find the google apps pack here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Just boot into CWM and flash the zip like you flash ROM zip's.
Engineer version shows up on all boot screens for ICS (LU6200) at the moment, because it was the only way to bring root and CWM onto the phone. (because the had to flash engineer version before the stock KDZ to get it work)
But it does not mean that the ROM is engineer version, its 4.0.4.
"Android is upgrading" message did not appear on the ROM version i had before, but on the actual one it is.
Only one thing i dont understand, why its always "media scanning" the SDcard and thats sometimes for a long time. Maybe its my card, but in GB it never appeared.

Thanks for the link and other information. More power to you and hope we can get some more variety of custom roms for the LU6200. BTW storing the roms on Dropbox was very ideal for Dropbox users like me since copying the file into my Dropbox account was instantaneous!
I've been browsing the Chinese sites using Google Chrome w/ its built in translator but downloading from from their links seems impossible and ultra slow if the free download was selected

Your welcome...
If you need a ROM from gfan.com or other chinese sites, just let me know. I can upload it for you, since i am in China so the DL rate is much better here.
For Mozilla Firefox there is a very good translation tool available, its now also working with Google Chrome.
http://www.perapera.org/
I've made an account on 115.com its like the chinese dropbox, there i also can just copying the ROMs to... if the Uploader also stored it there.

[Q] GT18160 Jelly Bean 4.1.2

I would appreciate some guidance as to what rom to install.
This UK version of the phone had become increasingly slow. I have just rooted it but do not know what to do next.
I had intended to install a custom rom and see it rejuvinated, especially for things like Sat Nav. I also want to get rid of some of the Samsung software that is taking up memory space and slowing the phone down. She I try to update the software to KitKat before installing a custom rom?

You could try this ROM, works great for me:

I find the 101 pages to the help topic overwhelming, especially as it is solidly highly technical. Do you happen to know of a step by step set of instructions that I can follow with ease.
Sorry but some basic points I need clarifying:
You referred me to a rom that works great for you and yet suggest that a custom kernel will improve performance. How do I decide which one to go for? At heart I do not understand the difference between the two.
I had a look at the codina link and notice I need to know what file system is being run on my Ace 2. I tried gparted on my desktop and it did not pickup the android phone as a drive. How do I work out what drive format is being used?

- From recovery install temp. cwm.6028 (http://d-h.st/oZD)
- wipe data
- mounts and storages
- format system
- then CM 11 from 18/11 ext4 (link before)
- power off
- boot in cwm
- flash pico uni-gapps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942)
- flash latest ext4 kernel (optional)
- reboot system

I use both. So, in my case, I install the ROM first, and then I install the kernel (instructions above). Note that the kernel part is optional, but should give you better experience.

You could check this by using adb. But if you never did anything before, than it is most likely to be ext4 (default for our Ace2).

Thank you for your help. I have just gone to get the temp. cwm.6028 (http://d-h.st/oZD) and it keeps failing to download. Is the link working? Do you have another one?
I notice that there are two download buttons. The plain download button causes a warning that I am going to a web forgery. The download now button fails to download for me.

For some reason (newest) FireFox downloads it but deletes it right away... This file is save! Use another browser (Chrome for instance) to download... De-activate Download Manager and use Download Now button... Not the other one...

I downloaded it using Flareget and sent it to my desktop and that worked as a download. The downloaded file is called update.zip. Your reply in the last message suggested to me that it should be called "temp. cwm.6028" (http://d-h.st/oZD). I ask in case someone has substituted another file!

Dude.. you are really complicated! This update.zip is the Temp. CWM Recovery...
For sure the are some update.zip around the net which containing other stuff - But this (http://d-h.st/oZD) is the Temp. CWM Recovery.
And it's a save file (as I alrady wrote) - I looks right now that FF and Chrome dont want to download it...
I think some dump users reported this file to often! Only because they don't konw how to download corretly from Dev Host...
I hope this is clear now....

How to get download links

Okay, disclaimer, I did not do this, I got the information from the s5 forum. Thanks to user @RK for the info. This is what he says:
To get the ota files, The first boot after you take an OTA update, dial *#8736364#. This brings up the firmware update menu. Click on 'Result'. There, you will see a screen that looks like the one attached.
Here is how things worked for G900A:
I went to the server URL in the attached image using stock Samsung browser. This downloaded a file named desc and then I got a prompt to download the OTA. I clicked OK and the download started and failed.
However, the failed download did create a file named desc.bin on my phone. I clicked on that file and to my surprise, I got a pop up menu that had a download option. I selected download and then finally the full 911mb file named desc.bin downloaded on my phone.
I renamed it, changed the extension to zip and uploaded it!​

Is this the official MM update?

Thanks OP, I tried this but looks like it tried to download D017 to D019 image of 91.1 MB and I don't think its MM

He never said it'd be MM just whatever the current OTA is.
