Yes, it is safe with odin as long as you're not flashing a bootloader. Re-partition is a must

I always use ODIN to go back to a clean base. Flashing the stock-rom you have to use repartition. Flashing a custom kernel your don't use repartition.

Can you flash a one file .tar stock firmware (like JW5) and use re-partition without .pit? Or do you always need a .pit file?
Is the .pit file still the same like it always been, or is there a new "version" for the one filed firmwares?

[Q] Flash RevolutionRom on SGS I9000

Hi guys,
I'm really interested in flashing Revolution Rom to my SGS1. It currently has CyanogenMod7 on it.
I've looked at the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236432
but can't figure out if I'm meant to just flash the rom or if I somehow need to flash a stock Gingerbread first before then flashing the REvolutionROM.
Can anyone assist?
Apologies if this question's already been asked, I did a thorough search but couldn't find anything. Happy if you just point me to another thread if it's already answered.
thanks

To revert from CM7 to any other samsung rom you need to first flash a full PDA stock rom with odin. with repartition. and 512 pit.
then you can change to what ever rom you want.

Hi Bork84, thanks for the reply. Where do I get the stock GB rom that will allow me to then flash RevolutionROM?
Am I able to just flash nandroid backup that I took before I flashed CM7? It's stock Froyo with Voodoo LF (rooted)
thanks

[Q] How to get stock kernel

I am running stock 4.0.4 with hydracore kernel.
I am getting the OTA update but cannot install.
how can i get back to the stock kernel without flashing the stock rom via pc odin ?
You got 2 options...
1. Download the stock ROM on your PC and extract the kernel (zImage) and flash it after
2. Download Chainfire's stock CF-Root kernel from this link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784 and find the kernel that matches your ROM (on your region.

Download stock kernel for your rom from here and then flash using mobile odin or K-tools. I have done it many times using mobile odin and it even retains root.
But there is still no guarantee of OTA, I was on stock LR6 with stock kernel with mods and OTA failed everytime, now flashed GB and updating to LR6 via kies to use OTA.

or can i flash the zimage from mobile odin?
Most often it will.. since your using PC Odin.. but there's nothing impossible as long as you root your phone back and use ChainFire's TriangleAway app to remove the counter back to 0.
EDIT: Yes, MOdin can flash Zimage as well.. try to look for some of the answers here as well -->>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713289
Flashing anything which is stock should not raise custom count, same way as flashing stock firmware using pc odin doesn't. but why take chances when you can flash it using mobile odin or K-tools easily.
I even once flashed stock kernel using Doomlord's tool (used in CF root kernels to root and flash , it didn't raise the custom count.
Just put zimage on root of SD and flash by MO or ktools, easy. Modin can handle zimage and tar both.

I used mobile odin and used the tar.md5 in kernel... flashed and it wen back to the stock kernel but the OTA still failed... then did a restore of complete rom from odin.. sacrificed root and mods.. but finally the OTA installed and happy that i did.. love the new launcher

Yes, that's why I said no guarantee of OTA even after flashing stock kernel, I was on stock kernel already and never flashed custom but still had to flash GB from odin for OTA

Rocketrom comes with philz kernel and it is brickfree..So you can directly flash gb rom using pc odin
Hydracore doesnt work with leaked jb roms
when using pc odin, it doesn't require you to be on a safe kernel
its possible to returen to ics stock from jb? i looked and the guide says that you have to be on gb and from there flash ics
pc odin can flash stock rom on the phone no matter what rom you are on.
are you sure?the guide says the you have to be on gb first,so just to put the tar file in pda?
?

You can flash ics directly from jb..but i guess you will get a bootloop
You can flash a safe kernel,then do a factory reset and it boots up successfully
iam confused ...so now flash the hydra 7 do wipe data and flash from odin?

Use PC Odin to flash stock ICS directly. No intermediate steps, like flashing a custom kernel or going back to GB, are needed.

I guess he gets a bootloop after he flash ics..and he need to flash a safe kernel to do wipes..isnt it??
May be, but that's a step after flashing ics. I don't know why op wants to flash hydracore before using pc odin
too many ideas.i afraid to try it.
there are not many ideas.
All comes to one. Don't confuse yourself
put phone in download mode
connect to pc
open odin and select the rom file in the pda tab
flash
once done, don't do any wipes till you install a safe kernel

[Q] Help problem with Note N7000

tried to flash stock rom with odin but stuck at nand write...please help.

do i need to flash with some pit file coz of nand write?
Original pit file from Dr Ketan thread in Android original Dev section. But I would say change kernel using recovery mode and try flashing any custom rom again
My advice its before messing up your device.. Start fresh.. Flash GB stock with Odin.. And start from there
Tapatalking on my n7000
Done....downloaded a pit file and flashed it with stock rom...done....
now the problem is that though i flashed with odin with a pit file and i got to get the stock rom
but during flash odin showed Can't open the serial(COM) port two times and passed the flashing
now the mobile is too slow and hanging a lot....any solutions for this?
you should install a kernel with CWM and scan the emmc with HG42's partition scanners.

reflash stock rom, but only this (choose it on PDA in Odin). No pit flash needed!!!
And set Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. No repartition!!!
Check out this guide.

my opinion is that the best way to go back to scock is install KIES and perform a Emergency recovery. it will restore EVERYTHING to stock, witch means, lastest stock rom without root and stock recovery
