It's possible to flash a tar.md5 file in Odin? I thought you could only flash .tar under PDA/Download mode in Odin.

tar.md5 just means that you ran a MD5 sum check on it, basically that it is verified.

So I can flash the .tar file through Odin via the PDA option, and it will unroot/remove CWM and restore my kernel/rom back to Telus stock?

Don't have to worry about any flash counter etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
+1 I would like to know this as well. Considering taking mine back due to lines/blobs and I'm wondering the same thing. Also do I need to flash stock kernel after or does this take care of both?

TIA.

Sent from my SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] balla786:
If I understand correctly....

So, after further reading, if I understand correctly;

1) Unrar the file, should contain an md5 file.

2) Put the phone in download mode.

3) Flash the md5 via PDA in Odin.

4) It will put the phone back to stock recovery, unroot it, and put the stock rom for Telus that ships with the phone.

Now my question is, is that it, the phone is now stock so I can swap at the store/return with warranty intact? Do I need to worry about the kernel/radio, or is that taken care of when I flash back to stock via Odin?

Will I need to worry about something called a "flash counter", or that doesn't apply for this phone?

Can anyone confirm if I have this correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
no one cares what is on the phone when they are received at the refurb center. they immediately just plug it in and do a full restore on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] balla786:
The phone will be going back to Telus direct since I bought it from them with my employee discount.. dunno where they send it from there. Don't want them charging ne for the replacement as well as the phone I'm exchanging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tennandcoz1:
You also have to flash the stock kernel.

From a glaxay better than yours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] balla786:
Thank you.

I can flash the kernel right after flashing the stock rom via Odin PDA option?

So quick question:

I put a version of Clockwork Mod on my phone and tried to run Cyanogen. Cyanogen install failed and I still have stock OS.

1. If I leave ClockworkMod on do I risk running into problems when I upgrade to Telus' version of ICS when they release?

2. Has anyone successfully used the stock recovery module loaded here?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Will flashing this via ODIN PDA option also remove any data on my internal SD Card. I am wanting to go back to complete stock but worried I will lose my pictures and videos. I have them backed up on my computer, but also want them to stay on my phone as well. If anyone has the answer that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] novanosis85:
It wont wipe your external sd. Not sure about internal though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
When I ran it I was running Clockwork Recovery and stock ROM.

I flashed in Odin and it restored the stock recovery but didn't touch the stock ROM.

Hoping this will be good enough to allow the official ICS update to run.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Dude you crazy. Just stay rooted and wait for it to drop.. possibly the next day will have better than stock ROM thanks to our Devs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Install root explorer from market. Find your precious pics and videos and use the GUI to "move" them to external_sd and they will be very safe. Hope that helps :)

Or use cloud which I do not:what:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
I'm curious to see the stock ICS and it won't update if I dont have stock recovery. I may use an alternate after it drops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chochiwpg:
Ya I am overly safe, I have them backed up on my computer, external SD and some on the cloud. Thanks, I may just flash the day ICS official is released. I appreciate all the devs hard work. But the stock ROM just works better for me. Plus most ROM's are based on T Mobile and not Telus which doesn't work well on my phone for some reason. Peace
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] airmario:
I don't think it will work cause i followed the steps you did and when i checked with kies this was the message i got
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
Have you confirmed you're running stock recovery and stock ROM?

I checked versions against my wife's phone and they're identical.

I'll try Kies and let you know what I see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] airmario:
Yes i am ....i followed the same steps you did ..

Ok let me know thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
I used the original from this post:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...timate-Root-and-Optimization-Guide-with-Steps

Should be the same but you never know.

When I boot into recovery it's the same version as my wife's phone. I had only changed out the recovery module when I rooted. Everything should be back to normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
What were you running? Clockwork Mod? Another ROM? If so which one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] airmario:
Clock work from Rom manager touch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingrouille:
I think I see the problem. In your screenshot it says (TMB) and mine says (TLS).

T-Mobile on yours and Telus on mine.

Are you Telus? If so try again with the stock download in the link I posted:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...timate-Root-and-Optimization-Guide-with-Steps

I bet that's the issue.

Good luck and yeah, let me know how it goes.

Okay so after putting the ICS STOCK rom on my phone, i get this when i go into KIES. Could it be because im using my phone on wind and not telus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeweladdict:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SamsungGalaxzS2x:

What are the exact steps when using Odin I understand certain things need to b checked? One more thing can I update via kids after this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
You shouldn't have to check/uncheck anything. The defaults, so long as you haven't touched them, work fine.

Technically, you should be able to update via KIES, but there are no additional updates for the Galaxy S2X since the update to Ice Cream Sandwich.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chalienge:
hmm,i don't know which rom you are using,maybe you should add the author's name

you may try

1.switch off your phone and don't install the sim card

2.if you've connected to wifi,you can move your phone to somewhere you cann't connect to the access point

3.flash another kernel and fix permissions

Hi

I have been reading and trying a few guides on this site, and am not having much luck, So I'm hoping you guys can help me find the right guide to successfully changing my HTC's OS please.

I have tried installing android 2.2 froyo and android 2.3.3 which were ok but a bit slow and the calibration was off, also when I restart the phone it boots back into windows and then when I retry to launch the android OS from the sd card, it crashes or isn't recognized or something.

I have a HTC Touch HD T8282 Blackstone, and when i checked my SPL, these are the details it showed. Blac 100 32M SPL 1-14-01 MicroP-Blackstone LED v6.

I am looking for a guide to help me change my OS to either windows 7 or preferably an Android if it will work good (because of the apps I need) and I want the OS to be completely changed if possible.

I don't think the rom has anything to do with it. Its kernel related. Just flash any kernel that mentions BLN (back light notification) and you should be good to go.
