[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QWIKSTRIKE:
Sounds like a personal choice, but for me I plan on possibly getting a EVO ONE X LTE. I am a 15 year Sprint customer in NYC patiently waiting for LTE, and was looking to get the Galaxy Nexus. At this point I see no reason to get last years phone where the bugs are still being worked out when I can get a faster current phone with bugs.lol

The biggest advantage of the GN for me is ASOP dev here on this site. Soooo I wanted a GN but now I may be swayed into a EVO LTE in June...we will see. Loved the way the Sprint SG II Epic Touch 4G works with Exynos, and believes the GN a great Developers device to get to always have the latest version of Android. Not trying to start a flame because I know those of you that have it love it, but HTC One or SG3 seems to be the next big deal, but the EVO will be here before the SGIII. As far as I am concerned there will always be a next big deal, and I loved my EVO 4G....just saying lol:D

1. higher resolution

2. faster browser

3. HD Voice (future)

4. Better design based on all tech reviews

5. Most tech sites give it a better over all review...go ahead flame on!lol

6. better speaker stock

7 better GPS/Antenna

8. faster processor...misnomer yes, but spec wise just saying

9. rated best screen to have by every tech review

10. better battery for reviewers with 1.27 12-13 hours average use...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
AT&T One X? Yea, it's exactly the same as the international One X for the most part. Except S4 Krait, LTE, and possibly bigger battery.

If your talking about an AT&T One S.....I didn't even hear any rumors about it or anything at all. Pretty sure only the One X is coming out for now.

As for the above Sprint post.

Well yea....if your on Sprint or a network that is going to sell the One X on contract and your using an upgrade. I'd expect you to choose the new phone over the GN which is about halfway into its product cycle.

One X wins hands down hardware-wise no doubt.....it's a matter of it being worth the money from someone already having a Gnex. IMO, not worth almost $700 to get it vs keeping the Gnex which is amazing itself. Plus the Intl One X battery life looks pretty bad right now and Tegra 3 isn't really good/great at all IMO. Not compared to Krait and whats yet to come.

Odin: Return to Stock, fix soft brick

Sponsored by k0nane.info. Have you tipped your devs today?

DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!​

Why the big red warning? Far too many people have broken their devices by not following these instructions! Search the forums, or drop by IRC - you'll see plenty of examples.

These instructions should fix your soft-bricked or broken phone as long as you can get it into download mode. Make sure you have drivers already installed on your Windows computer before starting. Please read them all the way through and then begin.

#include <external/cyanogenmod/std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Instructions​

Download Odin 1.85 - see section below.

Download the stock TAR for your device - see section below.

Extract the contents of odin-185.zip and the 7zip archive.

Run Odin 1.85.exe, and prepare Odin:

Check "auto-reboot", and uncheck all other options.

Click PDA and select the TAR you downloaded. Click PIT and select the PIT your downloaded.

Put your device into Download Mode:

Connect the USB cable to your PC, but NOT your device.

Remove the battery.

Reinsert the battery.

Hold down Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.

You should now be at Download Mode. Make sure Odin looks similar to the following:

Click Start in Odin.

Wait! When complete, Odin should appear like the following:

That's it! Your device will autoreboot, and your phone should be working properly again. Be sure to wipe data in recovery after completing this process if you have further issues.

Use a non-stock USB cable, and switch ports on your PC. If you continue to have issues, redownload the TAR or use another computer.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chlor3:
Ok, yes this is my first post and yes, the "don't check Re-Partition!" is in red everywhere... and I am a relatively experienced at rooting devices (this is the second Blaze I was doing, first one rooted with zero problems... That being said: What are the recovery options if one does open a new tar using oden and forgets to un-check re-partition (like I did earlier today)?

I have since flashed both the recovery rom and CWM, however the phone still prompts me for a password and after I input the correct password it goes into a boot loop.

Steps taken:

1. Flashed the k0nane root kernel and forgot to uncheck re-partition. ( Yes I know... laugh it up... )

2. Dropped the F-bomb in front of the kids about 1 second after pressing "Start" once I realized what I had done...

3. Followed the "THE ODIN THREAD: Return to stock instructions, fix soft brick"

4. At the hard reset part where you go into recovery mode I received the green/red dot screen response

5. Successfully flashed the CWM, therefore fixing the green/red dot recovery mode issue

6. Performed a hard reset using CWM, however...

After all this I still am getting the prompt for password (I would have expected a factory reset would make this go away) and subsequent boot loop upon entering the correct password.

Would saving a CWM recovery rom to my sd card of my "good' Blaze and transferring/flashing it to my broken blaze fix the issue?

Edit:

- I tried it (flashing my other blaze's recovery rom) and no it does not fix the password prompt to boot loop issue... (It didn't make anything worse either... how is it I can flash a rom and still have a password prompt (my working droid is not password protected...)?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] allprogrammed:
So I tried out the CM7 alpha and it froze at the loading screen. I'm doing it wrong and can't figure out how to get a logcat.

I'm trying to get back to stock and it seems to work other that the 'market' app is greyed out and it says that it's not installed on my phone. I've tried re-rooting and cwm and still the market app is greyed and doesn't show up anywhere other than the app drawer.

When I flash back to stock via Odin, I'm already past the gmail login part.

Even after adding cwm, I can't figure out how to get to recovery via hardware buttons to wipe or whatever.

Anybody have any ideas?

Nevermind maybe. I added a Google Play apk and now things are syncing up. I'm not sure what happened though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] allprogrammed:
So it looks like I may be the only one messing this up...

I flashed the cm7 alpha a bit ago. It's making progress.

Now that I'm trying to get back to stock I'm getting a loop between the Samsung logo and the Android blasting off.

I flashed the cwm but can't for the life of me figure out how to boot into recovery using hardware keys.

Anybody have any ideas? I'm lost w/ a useless phone ha.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xArcane1x:
Try this

1. Turn off phone

2. Remove battery

3. Plug USB from computer to phone

4. Insert battery

5. Hold volume up + volume down

6. While still held push and hold the power button keeping all three pressed

7. Wait for Samsung logo to appear

8. When screen goes black wait half a second and release all buttons

9. In a second or 2 should be in recovery

If that doesn't work please leave outcome, I have another method if that fails
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] michaelstigers:
im boot looping like in the above thread between the samsung logo and the android screen - ive tried 2 different cables/and downloads

im coming from root and cwm - but needed to go back to stock...

...im not a noob but im stuck and kinda shrugging - help? lol

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

of course im using odin - all succeeding - not failing as odin reports

getting to root and cwm were simple seems this should be but just looping

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

well - nevermind my post although its apparently happening to some devices.

i found a nandroid backup on my SDCARD thankfully i hadnt deleted (as im going back to my g2x lol) - and after i ran it everythings fine; did a factory reset on it and it appears to be good; not sure if it's kept root and wont know until i install tb again on it - but thanks for now guys!

The stock tar file isn't being recognized by Odin b/c it's not a "tar" file. Can someone please advise how I can get Odin to recognize it? I really need to get back to stock.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Did you unzip and extract the contents of the zip? Hopefully that will help you
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Download the file then unzip it you will find the tar file necessary to flash back to stock :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
When using this does it remove root? I need to do that to one of my blazes
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
No, it didn't download as a zip file. It saved as a 7Z file.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Same thing.. winrar can open both
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Beastmode:
Yes this returns the phone back to stock so you will lose root.

I personally use 7zip.. so you can grab it and unzip it with 7zip.

7z files are the same as zip files but 7zip's extension and IIRC it compresses more.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] E107946:
How to return to the stock ROM but with root?

Howdy folks!

I have a noob question: can I replace boot.img in the stock ROM (SGH-T769-UVLB7-hitsquad.tar) with the one from blaze-root-kernel.tar? This way, if I install stock ROM, will it make it rooted? I assume many people for various reasons need to return to a stock ROM but would still like it to be rooted.

is the tar file 282mb or i'm getting the wrong file?

update:

the file is 282mb and finally downloaded and follow the instructions and everything went smooth, for some reason tmobile was giving me an error when I wanted to do the update via OTA and when rebooted this message showed up :"UPDATE FAILED" and to do it on Kies, so I went this route and after uninstalling the old version and installing the new Kies Ver from samsung I was able to get the update.

thanks k0nane!

Did everything right and now im stuck in a boot loop with the green android guy taking off and the white Samsung. How do you fix the boot loop now?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BIBUBO BCJ:
I I've run into this problem. This is how I solved:

1. Download and Odin CWM recovery

2. Reboot, after boot loop, remove battery

3. Reinsert battery

4. Go to CWM Recovery, wipe data/facetory reset ( 3 times ), wipe Dalvik cache in advanced options

5. Go to option : "mount & storage" format all ( except format sd card )

6. Wait 10s after format system, *Don't reboot system* , remove battery while in CWM

7. Odin back to stock like normal ( may have small issue that can't go to download mode, don't worry, remove battery and go to download mode by a method in this thread )

8. Enjoy stock ROM without boot loop

If do not work, try to flash custom ROM ( like DarkKnight Rises ), after format system, reboot. After that turn off your phone. Start over from step 4.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
How do I get into CWm or recovery? I think this is the issue im having. I only know how to get into download mode. Dont remember how to get into recovery without the CWM app.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] BIBUBO BCJ:
Odin CWM recovery

After reboot, you will have an boot loop

remove/reinsert battery

Hold down Volume Up/ Down while Press Power button.Hold 3 button until the "Samsung" appear, then release only the Power button

You can't go to Stock recovery after boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
Make sure the phone is powered off. Hold volume up and down then the power button, all at the same time. As soon as you see the Samsung logo release all the buttons EXCEPT volume down, hold it till you get to CWM recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
Help please

I think I've sucessfully flashed my phone back to stock in order to return it as I've gotten a replacement. There's no SU, I can't do CWM, nor does TB work so I think I'm good. However, in about phone by basedband and build numbers are different...it reads as:

Android version 2.3.6

Baseband T769UVLF4

Kernel 2.3.35.11

Band Gingerbread UVLB7

I never paid attention prior to rooting if those items matched, so I'm not sure if my return to stock worked, although my phone looks completely stock. Can someone please shed some light on the matter? I've searched and can't find an answer, want to make sure before I return this phone.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] rbeier1221:
They should match. However, depending on when/how/if you updated that might cause one to be different. You might try to use Kies to apply the update again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
I never applied the update Tmobile pushed out. Do you think i would be necessary to try to apply the update through Kies, or would it be okay to send it back as is. I ask b/c I couldn't get a connection with Kies when I tried.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] rbeier1221:
I wouldn't think it would need to be updated; not sure how closely they will even look at the phone. But that is an uneducated guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
As long as you are not rooted, and you use the flash tool see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694529

They do not care if you have a custom recovery. As long as you are not rooted and reseted your counter.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Captivate-me:
Thanks for this info. I didn't know about resetting the counter, I thought returning to stock was enough. Upon checking my count is at 12. Tried following the steps in the thread, but I don't have CWM. I've posted my question there, but will post it here as well in case I can get a quicker response. Is there a way to reset the counter thru Odin?

Edit: I installed CWM thru Odin so I can flash the zip. Now my counter reads NO and Custom Binary reads Custom.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Sounds weird but I was bootlooping once too, Wipe Data/Factory reset should do the trick.

You should be able to access recovery, pull battery hold down Volume down and hold power, wait til samsung logo pops up than release as soon as it goes away.

If you get a glittery screen, reflash Clockwork through Odin and try again.

any one i tryed everything but it says fail <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
For those of you bootlooping, check the 1 click CWM. Download that and flash CWM to your phone. Load into recovery by unhooking your USB cable and holding the power, volume up, and volume down buttons. When loaded into CWM, do a factory reset/wipe data, then wipe cache, then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache. At this point you can also reflash a ROM from this point, or restart it and try to return to stock again.

If you are preparing this phone to be sent back to Tmo, then do it this way.... Load into CWM, find the flash counter reseter (its in apps/themes) and flash that file. Then data/wipe, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash stock rom. Thats all you have to do. I have successfully sent my phone in this way with no charge. My previous counter was well over 20 :)
