Hey guys I need to send my phone back for warranty replacement and I am afraid to use Odin one click, because I know it bricked a friends phone recently beyond even JIG repair. His was an 11.02 or something and mine is a 10.07.
All I have flashed is DG's Cognition if that helps.
What should I do to go back to factory stock, will oneclick kill mine like his?
I cant afford to brick this one so I just need some confirmation, thanks guys.
Odin back to stock is the preferred method. While there is risk of brick, it generally doesn't happen that often. I have used it countless times.
But Odin will bring you back to stock and wipe any evidence from having a custom ROM.

*Also, you could always say you were trying to update via kies and it stopped working (if anything went wrong) They won't ever know and it'll just get flashed stock firmware once they get ahold of it anyway.
I believe you can flash back to stock using OdinOneClick. But just to be sure you can flash this package instead
--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995143
That package flashes everything but the two bootloaders and param.lfs. Meaning if anything goes wrong you still can use the combos or a jig to get back into download mode .
Just to double check you use:
Vol up, Vol down & power key to get into recovery mode?
&
Vol up, Vol down & usb cable to get into download mode?
It doesn't matter at all if you brick it. You're sending it in for a warranty replacement already. If odin one click bricks it tell them some bs about kies doing it.

Is it really necessary to post a useless post, with no information?
You really think I didn't search these insanely complicated and deep forums?
A friend of mine just ended up with a hard brick after using odinoneclick.
Something about a later build phone. But nobody seems to know much about this issue.
So needless to say I would like to be a bit cautious now.

About as necessary as you starting a new thread for a common issue instead of posting to an existing related thread. And the problem with later build phones (1008 and up) is also well documented in here. Be cautious all you want, but respect the forum by not starting redundant threads.

Im trying to get back to stock from GB. Mine is 10.06, OdinOneClick (with 2 bootloaders) wont work, odin3 works but I cant find a stock rom with those 2 bootloaders.
I could tell you to use odin3, but I cant link you a stock rom with 2 bootloader.

is there a way to go back to stock compleately?
I used odin and it brings it back to stock software, but what about the data on the phones internal memory all that stuff is still there. Like pictures, music, titanium backup files, etc.
Can the internal memory be formated?

Just an FYI for all Windows 7 user about Odin3 (oneclick or otherwise) in general. Use Windows XP service pack 2 compatibly mode to make this run without getting locked up as often.
Hi, I got a new captivate today, which had 2.2 pre-installed and tried rooting it. Tried a few update.zips to root it, but it wouldn't root it, due to the e-signature error. Using the AIO Captivate toolbox, I tried flashing the 2.1 JF6 stock, so that I could root and install Froyo ROM's. I'm pretty sure the 2.1 JF6 stock flash went fine, but my phone refuses to boot in. It just shows the AT&T screen and restarts and continues this loop.
Can anyone please suggest what I could do to fix this ? I'm trying to get this into download mode and I have the jig. But, after getting it into download mode, what should I do next? Is there a way I can install the stock 2.2 that came pre-installed with the phone ?

Thanks will try that. But just wanted to be clear that I got a latest captivate which came pre-installed with 2.2. Is it still fine to flash 2.1 ? I guess I bricked the device trying to flash 2.1 JH6 on it
I believe you should be fine

Thanks. I have the jig, but strangely I'm not able to get into download mode too. I tried removing the sim and the battery and reinserting back, with the usb cable plugged it, but it refuses to get into download mode. Any suggestions ?
Try the jig
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Sounds like a build 1010 captivate..
...The jig is the only way that you can get back to DL mode if it is. look at the sticker under the battery and see if it is a build 1010, if it is you won't be able to go back to JF6, you'll have to use the full Odin and go back to JH2 first then root with update.zip then CWM flash the JH7 .zip file that you can find in the dev forum posted by Designgears I believe or you can just use kies mini to go back to stock 2.2 after you flash JH2.
Yea I'm trying the jig, but strangely it doesn't work

OK will try that tomorrow maybe
But, just for the sake of knowledge, where can I find an update.zip that can root stock 2.2 on newer captivates ? I tried all almost 3-4 of them from this forum, but strangely none of them worked. It was my inability to root stock 2.2, that made me try getting to 2.1 JF6 using one-click.
Consensus is super one click
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Super one click to root stock froyo. That's it. Unless you wanna odin speedmod boot into recovery and apply root that way. By then you would need to flash another modem.

my first recommendation is Heimdall, second would be ODIN
if you have to ask about downloading bootloaders to the phone from the PC, then you shouldnt be doing this. this would indicate you have a lot more reading to do to understand what you are actually doing.

EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?
You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
I have soft bricked my galaxy tablet and I need help on how to un-do it, I have tried almost everything. PLEASE HELP.

Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You can get the stock roms there. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file and use that in odin. Use odin v1.85.

You'll need to put a custom recovery on your tab using Odin. Flash it just like the stock rom. Then you'll need to flash superuser-busy box thru the custom recovery. Download that on you tab. I have the files on dev host and I'll post links for you when I get on my pc.
Recovery. http://d-h.st/fqw
Supersu. http://d-h.st/vjq
Use install in twrp (the recovery) to install super user. Then boot, once booted look for super su in your apps and click on it. It will update to the latest version. You'll be rooted.
