Does anyone have a link to download Odin? The links I'm finding are from Megaupload, which was shut down, and multiupload, which I can't reach.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

Also, I believe I have stock everything, except my ROM was a Rooted, Deodexed, Debloated stock ep4d, can I simply use cwm to install the rooted, deodexed, debloated stock FP1 update?

My versions are:

Firmware

2.3.6

Baseband version

i510.06 V.EP4

SCH-I510.EP4

Kernel version

2.6.35.7-EP4

Build Number

SCH-I510.ep4

Good grief, how did I miss that?

With the info I listed above, can I just follow #5 in the OP? Installing new packages has always terrified me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
FP1 de/bloated rom does not come with the FP1 kernel, So just use cwm to flash the FP1 debloated/bloated + root, then use cwm or Odin to flash the FP1 kernel (make sure you download the right version - zip file is for cwm and md5 is for Odin).
[Verizon Droid Charge] DemonI81:
Ah... good point. Maybe I'll go through the process then of going back to stock, updating, then flashing Eclipse.

This link (actual URL removed as I can't post URLs yet but it is used a couple of times in the post) appears to be dead. I hit download, it says thinking about it, decides something failed (but it can magically fix it if I wait 5 seconds), and then offers to let me download it again. Repeat loop, over and over. I tried from multiple computers on multiple networks and it just won't work. I suppose it may fix itself eventually however I'm hoping to get flashing.

Any chance someone could upload elsewhere?

Very helpful post outlining the various options by the way.

[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Something is not right with your phone. See if we find out what.

1, If you check permission on the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, are they gone?

2. if you put back all the permission, will your phone back to normal after reboot?

3. If you remove permission and reboot withoug Odin cwm, is your phone still OK?

What version of odin you're using? make sure you unchecked everything except for PDA before hit start. You can down load the ODIN from the OP page.

Please do the above there and we will take the next step.

not working

hey

i have a samsung charge on fp1 ver 2.3.6

i have followed the steps as stated in the first post. i get the pass when installing with odin. i hold down the vol up+home+power. when it boots up i get the andriod recovery not the cwm. (they are not the same right?) anyway i try to update zip from sd card. it starts to update then gives me the triangle with "!" inside and an android with a frowny face. i am assuming it is because it is not the cwm installing the zip file.

this isnt my first time rooting a phone and until tonite i didnt think i was a complete idiot. please dont yell at me if this question has been answered...i couldnt find it!

thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
So you have FP1 on your phone and you're trying to root it? After you Odin cwm to your phone, disconnect the usb cable then pull out your battery and re insert your battery. (DON'T LET YOUR PHONE BOOT UP, IF YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO RE ODIN AGAIN.). Now hold down vol up+home+power and boot straight into cwm. Once you are in cwm, you can flash Super User app. Then boot up your phone, use root explore or Root explorer lite or ES file explore (they can be download from the Market), navigate to /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file and remove all permission from this file. Turn off your phone and re Odin cwm. Now it should stick.

BTW, Android recovery is NOT the same as cwm. Do not use Android recovery to flash anything.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kenbals:
Ok. Will try all you said tonight. Will see what happens. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Make sure you don't have Auto Reboot checked in Odin, and make sure you don't ever let it boot up before you've gone into CWM. A stock system overwrites recovery with stock on every boot unless you go through some extra steps.

Computer not seeing phone in download mode

Thanks for providing all the FP1 options and instructions. I am really excited to try the Deodexed/Debloated/rooted version(s). I have 2 questions.

#1 Once we have FP1 stock image and kernel can we simply ODIN FP1 stock deodexed/debloated/rooted - No kernel or does that format and remove the FP1 kernel?

#2 Any suggestions why my laptop is not seeing my Charge in download mode. I have not had this issue in the past when rooting and I cannot seem to resolve. I got my computer to see my Charge once randomly (not sure what was done to make it work) and was able to get my Charge to FP1 stock image. Here is what I have tried.

*I have USB debugging checked.

*I am running Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit (I have also testing with no luck in Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit) and I have uninstalled drivers and reinstalled.

*The Charge connects easily when not in download mode so don't think it is related to the cable.

*I have tried different USB ports on the computer.

*I am booting to download mode by plugging the phone in when it is off and holding down on the volume down key.

It is frustrating when you are looking forward to trying out new roms and you have something like this standing in the way.

As always thanks for your help.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
#1. If you already upgrade to FULL FP1, the kernel is in it, so when you flash the deodexed/debloated/rooted rom you should ended up with the deodexed/debloated/rooted ROM and FP1 kernel. Remember flashing rom WILL NOT over write your kernel and same as, flashing Kernel will not over write your rom. When you flash a Rom that said "No kernel" meaning, the package only included rom no kernel, so what ever kernel that you have on the phone will stay the same, only the rom is changing.

#2 To get to download mode, remove the battery, plug in usb cable, press and hold Vol down button, your phone should be in download mode, re insert battery and ready for Odin.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mal.reynolds:
Outstanding! Thank you so much. I should have though to remove the battery. Sorry for the oversight. I have FP1 and Eclipse now :-D.

FP1 Kernal

Two things,

1) I currently have the Imoseyon Kernal 4.0 on EXT4 and is working fine for me except for the WiFi of course working. Seems to be working just fine for me. It would be great to have Wifi but now since I have all my apps downloaded at the moment, I'm good. how are the performance differences if any if I use the FP1 Kernal? Does it convert me to rfs? Should I stay on EXT4 and just suck it up that I can't use Wifi?

2) If I ODIN the new FP1 Kernal does it require me to Wipe Data? Or can I just flash and restart and be right back to where I was. I just got everything back to normal and don't want to spend 3 days downloading and signing into everything again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
RFS vs ext4 should have no impact on your WiFi. However, if you flash a non-ext4 capable kernel into a system using ext4, it can cause a lot of issues. Your best bet would be to convert back to RFS prior to flashing the FP1 kernel. I don't believe the stock kernel has ext4 support.

I believe you would be fine to flash and go. A kernel change shouldn't require a data wipe. However, there's always the possibility of something funky happening. Good rule of thumb is to expect to need a data wipe anytime you change anything on your phone. Then if you don't, it's just a bonus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jeremyumo:
I tried converting to EPD4 Stock and The ODIN kept failing on one of the .bin files so I just flashed the deodexed/debloated/rooted FP1 no Kernal using CWM and it worked fine over my old ROM. Maybe I'll just keep what I got working fine and suck it up no WiFi. My current Kernal is what is keeping me from using Wifi. Its noted that it doesn't play nice with the FP1 Rom and MODEM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
IMoseyON's 4.0 kernel has Voodoo compatibility in it, so it would be simple to convert back to RFS and then flash the FP1 kernel. I don't see where it would cause issues requiring a wipe, but anything's possible.

You are correct that the FP1 ROM over the EP4D kernel is your wifi issue, though. I'd assume flashing the FP1 kernel would alleviate your problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kenbals:
Thank you so much!! went through each step you said. buhohitr. thank you. i downloaded correct odin. but was using 1.82... im good now thanks. thanks button hit!lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
Maybe someone can help. I tried to install the FP1 update and ran in ot some problems.

I had custom EP4D so I loaded stock EP4D. I then installed the OTA update. I then had stock FP1. I then tried to follow the steps in #5 of the first post to get root and this is where I ran in to problems.

1. I Oden'd CWM and booted into CWM.

2. I installed the superuser update from the card and restarted the phone.

3. Iused root browser lite to navigate to the file on the phone and tried to change permissions. Permissions was not an option in the popup menu. why? I assumed that it was because I don't have root access.

4. I downloaded root update fixer and it confirmed that I did not have the root access I had just installed with CWM.

I am now going to try the alternative and load eclipse ROM. while I wait the hour for it to download, maybe someone can tell me what went wrong and how to fix this.

Mike

Edit: I installed the Eclipse ROM and the phone now has root access. Multitudes of gratitudes to all those that created the software that I loaded on my phone.

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Make sure you're on EP4D and not EP4P. They show the same on the about phone screen, but they are different radios.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hindle1225:
need to be on ep4d to flash the fp1 radio. I've actually helped you too much at this point, it's obvious you haven't followed the OP well enough. You need to do more research or else you're going to be one of many that have tried to rush through this process and ended up bricked.

There is no way to tell if you have EP4D or EP4p radio. Best bet is to flash back to factory EP4D. Instruction is here:

[Verizon Droid Charge] scarygood536:
I got the wifi to half work with pbj. It will see all the networks just not connect... it stops at obtaining ip. Obviously I am missed changing a file or two.

I'm not a developer, but i think some of the wifi files merged or moved in the kernel in eth0. seems to me in the config files of wifi all point to eth0, before they were at somthing like /data/wifi/ blah blah. eth0 exist in the ep4d build.prop so that must mean the /data/wifi/.... moved to eth0?

Go to settings -> application -> uninstall or uninstallupdate. Once done reboot phone and it should ask you to update, do the update. If you still have problem, try to install google play app here:

[Verizon Droid Charge] prometheus840:
Here goes....

Ok, I am a total noob, I'm sure this has already been addressed elsewhere and if it has, please feel free to delete this.

There are reams and reams of data here for the droid charge, and I'm trying to make some sense of it all.

Months ago, I putzed my way through flashing a CWM, custom kernel, and custom rom to my charge, after soft/medium bricking my phone 3 or 4 times, I finally got it to work pretty well, then recently when Verizon pushed the FP1 update, I got the notification at 1am on a tuesday, and I was dead asleep, without paying attention, I rolled over in bed, and clicked the "install now" which resulted in yet another soft-brick.

Later in the day, I was able to recover my phone back to its modified configuration like it was before updating it, but I kept getting nagged to update the system.

I logged on here to find the directory that the system updates are downloaded to so I can delete it, and instead ended up rolling my phone back to factory, installing the OTA, Odin'ing 0302 CWM, flashing FP1 TrueBlue 1.1, and it seems to be back on its game again.

My question is, WTF did I do? If the stock kernel will support the deodexed/debloated/rooted ROM, whats the point of custom kernels? CWM's?

I know what ROMS are for, and I needed superuser to use various things I use frequently.

Any insight would be appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] harshsy319:
What rom do i flash?

In the article above, I found the rom that i want and know how to flash the rom (fp1 deodexed/bloated/rooted), but what do i flash? I downloaded the whole rom zip file but there was nothing that said "flash me!" or the equivilent. By looking at other articles such as "ROM Flashing FAQ for Newbies" by bmueller77, I found that i needed to look for .exe files, but in the package I couldn't find any.

Could anyone give me some help on what to flash. The help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trevormalachi:
So my best bet us going back to factory ep4d, then doing the fp1 and then adding eclipse and my kernel? Sorry if I'm being repetitive I'm just completely lost with this update, I was running really good till I tried ****ing with it now my whole phone is bogging down
[Verizon Droid Charge] Darkecrowe:
Took me about 3 hrs to do this after trying to shortcut a conversion to rfs from ext4.. Flashing EP4D stock, and then taking the FP1 OTA and flashing new CWM and then rooted eclipse 2.0 worked like a charm.

Phone feels snappier then it did w/ 30% oc on eclipse 1.4, though I'm still eagerly awaiting a customized kernel.. Good luck all! Its worth the work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
custom kernel allows you to do the following when stock can't:

1. Overclocking/Undervolt your cpu,

2. Running Ext4 file system,

3. support custom bootup scripts using init.d

4. SD card speed tweak

5. Custom boot aninmation

and I could go on and on.....

If you just want a stable working phone and some custom theme, then you don't need to use custom kernel. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
lol, you need the basic, there are 2 most important tools used to flash rom/kernel. One called Odin, which installs on your PC and flash kernel/app to your phone. Second on is called clockmod recovery (in short cwm), is needed on your phone to install kernel/rom. You may ask:

1. How can I install cwm on my phone?

you need to use Odin to flash cwm to your phone. (search for "how to use odin" on this forum and you will find the instruction).

2. What is the different between Odin and cwm, why I need both?

Kernel and rom created in 2 different format; ZIP and MD5, if a developer created a kernel in both format then you can pick either or to use, but if they don't then you have to use the correct tool. Again, you can search for how to use cwm.

So after you installed Odin on your PC and CWM on your phone, you are now ready to flash any rom or kernel.

To answer your second question, if you want to stay with stock rom then flash debloated/deodexed/rooted, if you like custom rom then Eclipse is your best bet at this moment. Just an FYI; Tweakstock rom is coming. This rom is for people who like stock with a little custom (kind of balance between stock and custom rom).
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Going back to stock is kind of super clean/fresh install. Some people can flash new rom over without any issue. This most likely depend what already installed on your phone, every phone is configured differently. So it's your choice. You can try to flash eclipse 2.0 over and see if how it performs, If any issue you always can reflash back to factory stock and try again.

If you want to skip going back to factory stock you just do this:

1. Make sure you not on ext4, you need to be on RFS, if you are using stock kernel.

2. flash eclipse 2.0

3. flash Fp1 kernel

4. flash FP1 radio (if this fail, you may not have FP4D radio prior to flashing, you need to upgrade to FP4D radio first. This issue will not exist if you flash back to stock EP4D).

done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Glad to see happy ending. I rather see story like this one!!!.:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] BrandedDays:
Eclipse seems to be the right direction. Thanks! It is so much faster booting up and 1 day in seems is just all around snappier.

lAnother happy story

Is there a step by step instruction for going from stock FP1 to the latest version of Eclipse Rom? My 510i has been stock and I would like a debloated ,deodexed version of Eclipse which I understand is one of, If not, the best for the Charge.

I am familiar with and have rooted an Android phone, but not familiar with cww or Odin.

[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Ok, We have more options, specially the release of tweakstock rom (it's the best, stable, fast and smooth without any modification). I think you did everything right, but I believe there're something corrupted in your O/S, I would do the following:

1. Take your phone back to EP4D pure stock(rom/kernel/radio), if you're running ext4, make sure you convert back to RFS first before flashing EP4D.

2. Upgrade to full FP1 (rom/kernel/radio).

3. Reinstall your apps and test them make sure they all working.

4. Odin Tweakstock 2.0 and cwm

You will be a happy man and love your phone again.:)

If you still want to play with this issue. Try to download this http://goo.gl/tsbdV , then unzip it to your PC. It should create a folder call ADB. There are 4 files inside. Connect your phone to your PC (while your phone is on) and run(double click on) SUPermFix.bat . You will see a message that your root is fixed.

This should fix your root issue, then try again see if you can change permission on the .sh file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gsw721:
huh?

how do i undo all that i have done.

or

if i try the other method ---> "*** There is a quicker way to root, is just flash cwm, without reboot phone, boot straight into cwm then flash rom from item C (bloated/rooted) or D (debloated/rooted).. Once rooted, just remove permission from file "install-recovery.sh" with root explorer or something similar, turn off phone, then Odin cwm again. Reboot and you're done." ----> after doing all this, am i going to make a paperweight?
