There's a guide in the Dev section (stickied).. a little reading goes a long way!
Basically it's gonna look like this: Stock KK4 w/o BLs with Odin -> Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (go in recovery to get root) -> Flash custom ROM as per their instructions -> Enjoy!
So yeah, little rundown but you have some reading to do to make sure you understand what you are doing.

Since u r runnin android 2.3.4 then u have gb bootloaders so u r good concerning that.
Simply Odin flash the .tar packaged KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A , afterwards reboot into the cwm recovery and install ur rom of choice that u should have copied to ur internal sdcard by now, per said rom's install instructions. (u will have to select to install it twice) Success.
--- Option is there, in the advanced cwm recovery menu, to gain Root access. But the big unrealized fact to a lot of users is that u actually don't need to have Root in order to flash a Developer's Rom. If u follow the method i just laid out. :thumbup:---
Enjoy ur Rom of choice !:beer:

Recovery is both volumes+power buttons. You release when the screen flashes usually (there are 2 AT&T image that look the same)

Hold volume + & - together with power button until u see the at&t logo, then release and u should be in recovery.

Can you get in download mode? (volume down + power button)
I'd say to retry flashing Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (don't forget the .pit)
If that doesn't work, flash stock KK4 without BLs, then reflash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85.

The .pit file.
When you use Odin 1.85, you need 2 files to flash a kernel: .tar and .pit
Your flash most likely didn't work cause you didn't have the .pit file (hence why I said a little reading goes a long way).
It can either be found in here (little search) or on the samsung website.
EDIT: here it is: http://www.droidevelopers.com/attac...752561-[download]-ops-pit-files-s1je4.pit.rar
If you don't know how to use Odin, there are plenty of videos on youtube. Please take time to really understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight in your hands.

So what I understand is that 1st i shud flash corn and then flash pit file, then i'l have root and custom recovery. Right ?

No, when using Odin 1.85, you put the .tar file in the PDA and the .pit file in the PIT.
Flashing Corn kernel will give you a cwm recovery and you won't need to root, just flash the ROM you want to as per their instructions.

Ohh thanks a lot but unfortunately I don't have a PC at home, so I can only try this in the morning. Btw your link for pit file needs registration.

Selling my Galaxy - how to get rid of custom rom?

Hi,
this might be a stupid question but i want to sell my galaxy s and i need to flash a stock rom. Clockwork recovery is installed (and should stay installed) - so how do I "re-stock" my galaxy?
Its a JPY-Version.
Thanks!
download JPY from www.samfirmware.com
boot into download mode
load JPY into ODIN (usually pda)
Hit start.
Do factory reset
JOB DONE !
Thanks. Is there a way without using ODIN? Maybe download an update.zip somewhere and flash it with clockwork?

Far as I know, no one has every made a update.zip file that contains only stock firmware files. They ones available always contain CF root or some other custom rooting kernel.
Also, why do you wish to keep CWM recovery? It's hardly stock in that case.

Rooting stock kh3

I just flashed to stock 2.3 but I was wondering if there is a root for it or not. Thanks in advance

Yes, flash over the stock KH3.
Root method:
1. Extract and open Odin3 v1.81.zip and place the zImage-root.tar file in the pda slot.
2. Connect your phone to your PC.
3. Put your phone into download mode (Same as eclair/froyo 3-button combo or adb reboot download)
4. Phone will boot and show the fugu fish.
5. Power off and put your phone into download mode.
6. Place the zImage-original.tar file in the pda slot and hit start. Phone will reboot.
7. You are now rooted with Stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread.

Rooting Note on ICS ROM PROBLEM

Hi,
I am new to Android Phones. I tried to root my Galaxy Note using the above method
2. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
but i run mobile odin without downloading the odin version of custom kernel (I got confused, I thought I needed to do thisafter running mobile odin) and now my phone is stuck in flashing mode for about 45mins switching on and off.
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help...
Christina
Flash Pre rooted ROm again Wipe cache and data and repeat procedure, that will be safe.
It worked! Thank you!
Just a quick question...
I followed all the steps mentioned on the thread up to installing mobile odin and copying the ics rom....
but I am confused with the odin version of custom kernel...I am trying to find the correct cf-root kernel through the link you provided but I can not find the KJ1. I downloaded the one you have attached below mobile odin screenshots. Is that ok?
And also where do I copy the kernel? Internal or external sd? Should it be in a specific directory in order to be detected by mobile odin?
Sorry for all these questions but I looked around and there is no specific instructions anywhere about this part.
Thank you...
Which rom you want to flash?

Since I am new to the android platform phones, I think it will be better if i explained what my objective is so I won't confuse you too....
I want to be able to install and use rooted applications like titanium back up. I read that in order to do this I have to root my phone.
So what I want to do now is to root my phone in order to use ie titanium black without upping my flash counter.
Also I do not care to have a custom ICS, I prefer the stock one for now until I become more familiar with all these.
I followed the steps but the customn kernel things has confused me.
My phone is as mentioned before a galaxy note with ICS 4.04 before I started the procedure, now I have Gingerbread 2.35.
What should I do?
Thank you

Go to this thread and just flash the kernel using PC Odin.(First way)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You will have CWM and rooted device.After that you can use Titanium Backup and all other applications which required root
Sahil hez on gb rooted.rom. So no need to flash custom kernel with pc odin. i think mobile odin will b best for him.
@op
Go to first link on my signature, download any ics rom you want
Download notecore kernel std tar version
Copy both.to sd card
Now look to rom switch over from my signature and find how to use mobile odin

Thank you for the quick reply!!!
Just to be sure, when you say first method you mean the one below
1. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.\
If yes, then this brings us back - almost - to my original question....how do i use the custom kernel (cf or notecore) with odin? I know it uzips to a zimage etc but how do I use it which odin? Also which cf kernel -if iuse this one- is correct for my phone? Is there a link you can provide that explains all these?
Thank you!

Ok I ve downloaded stock rom N7000XXLRI---4.0.4/12.07.19-N7000OXXLP8 and copied it to sd card
I downloaded the kernel from your signature and copied the zimage to the sd card
I started mobile odin and i went open file and chose the N7000XXLRI_N7000OXXLP8_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar and then changed the kernel to zimage i had moved to sd.
Now the phone keeps switching on and off showing (5 minutes now)

I switched the phone off and i went to download mode and flash the phone back to stock ICS 4.04 because the mobile odin flashing was stuck ( i watched a video and the flashing wasnt the same, mine kept switching on off the phone like it was missing something)
Any ideas/suggestions about what i should do now?

Stock Capitivate now what do I do.

I used to have a Samsung Fascinate, but we just left Verizon for Straight Talk. 2 years ago AT&T gave me a refurbed Captivate that we left in the box until now. It has Eclair but I am wanting to possibly upgrade it to Stock Gingerbread or a nice stable Rom. So if someone could give me some pointers (sounds vague) that would be great.:good:
Check out the Stickied Threads in the Q & A, General, and Development Forums. There is a lot of up to date info that will be very helpful.
And from now on, plz post questions in the q & a...and a search before posting will prove to get the answers u need, especially on the basics... Thx

Check out my thread titled JellyUI in the Captivate Dev section. Instructions on how to flash the rom are in the first post. Enjoy
I actually think this is not a bad place for the post although Q&A would be better. I recently tried to bring my old cappy from stock to ICS. I had gingerbread but when I tried to flash CM9, I must have had an old CWM that was not compatible and got into a bootloop where the only way out was to odin back to stock. Then I had a nearly impossible time finding all the files that would allow me to get to ICS. Designgear's and a number of other files referenced throughout the dev section for upgrading have bad links now. I am on an i9000 bootloader with 2 button recovery (since the easiest way to get back to GB was to flash S7v3 with Odin since all the referenced files are still there) but cannot figure out an easy way to get a 3 button CWM even after spending a few days looking for a way to do it just using Odin and CWM as I did in the past. After a lot of trial and error and even getting to a point where I could not get into download mode anymore, I did get CM9 flashed eventually but I will not try again until I figure out how to at least get a 3 button CWM. I went almost two years as a cappy flashaholic and never once had to use ADB or Heimdall, so would prefer not to if possible.
If someone could provide a list of valid links to all the files that are necessary to go from stock to being able to flash ICS or JB roms, I will archive the files so they won't be lost.

See TRusselo's How to Guide on Flashing . It is a Stickied thread in this Q & A Forum.
And if u will flash the i897 GB Bootloaders, that will allow u to do the 3 button to recovery.

I tried the 1st part but my phone automatically booted into recovery mode after the 1st Odin Flash.
If that was after u flashed the GB Bootloaders, that is ok. Just pull battery, replace it, get back into download mode and then Odin flash the Speedmod kernel so u can get the CWM Recovery. Then u can flash ur Rom of choice from there.

So does the speedmod kernal have CWM Recovery on it? I don't need to add that?
Also do I need to do a wipe?
That is all that u r Odin flashing the Speedmod kernel for...just to get to the CWM Recovery.
Just like the Guide states---after u Odin flash the kernel use the Button combo to reboot into Recovery. That kernel is not there to boot ur phone up, only there for u to use cwm.
And usually the Rom u flash will do a full wipe. But u can do it in the recovery if u want before u flash ur rom.
