You're at risk for a brick.....you can try to use mobile Odin to install one of sfhubs one click installs to your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Are you putting your phone in download mode prior to using Odin?

And Dante is right. use sfhubs ff18 one click.

Mobile ODIN

Thanks Dante!

Mobile Odin makes sense in this situation. I searched the market and find ChainFire's [root] Mobile ODIN Pro. Is this the only one/the one you recommend?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motomoose68:
ODIN Mode

Yes, I am putting the phone into download mode prior to connecting to PC. I don't have any problem with this my other phone, so I know it's not my method or cables.

I have SFHUB's oneclick downloaded, hopefully I can flash it with Mobile ODIN.

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Right on. Just had to ask. Good luck.

or another sfhub file from

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869

The instructions in the first link mention using ZArchiver to unpack the .tar file. Should this be done, or can Mobile Odin do it?

It looks like Mobile Odin can do it under the "Open fie" option.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Your phone won't connect to.Odin cuz you flashed a bootloader for the wrong device(international gs2). I don't even know if flashing a bootloader thru mobile Odin is even possible. You may need to send it to have it jtag'd to fix this oopsie and hopefully you learned a valuable lesson, which is read, read again get ready to proceed read once more and then read it again, then read it while you're doing whatever it is you're doing. With so many variants of the gs2 floating around reading is your best defense against fubars like these

ETA: no mobile Odin won't flash a bootloader, so Jtag will be your only option and it runs ~$50. Check out mobiletechvideos for jtag service

Boot Loader

Thanks for your reply. I agree and understand about reading and being careful. I try to do this, but unfortunately find it very hard to locate the correct information.

Can you give me a little clearer explanation of what "send it to have it jtag'd" means, and how to do it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motomoose68:
Boot Loader

I take it, that a One Click from sfhub won't include a bootloader.?

Sorry, missed the second half about the jtag.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Even if you find one with a bootloader mobile Odin doesn't support the file types for them unfortunately. Mobiletechvideos.com I believe is the address, they have a jtag service, you will have to ship them your phone and pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $50, they will hook the phone up to a riffbox and rewrite the emmc chip to force the proper bootloader and partitions back on. Its really the only option except sending it to asurion, but that's $100 and you get a refurbished device, jtag is only around $50 aand you get your own device back.

jtag

Thanks for the clarification and additional information.

Last question. I understand the Bootloader is wrong meaning I can't flash .tar's in Odin, but would Mobile Odin allow me to get the correct Root with Clockwork Recovery, which would allow me to flash rom, radio and kernal zips through recovery?

Thanks!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yeah you can flash a rooted oneclick tar in mobile Odin, or flash just a kernel like the el26+cwm.tar and then flash a rom and modem thru the cwm recovery in the el26 kernel. What version of android are you on? GB(el29, ek02, eg30) or ICS(ff18)

The phone is on Stock EL29. I was trying to ultimately get ICS FF18 and want to stay rooted to have hot spot. I mentioned a sfhub stock, rooted, w/ clockwork recovery above. Have not found a similar "one click" for FF18. Suggestions/links?

You cannot be serious.... :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
as long as your alrready rooted you can flash a .tar or cwm kernel in mobile odin and use the custom recovery to flash the rom and other fikes that you want. just try not to soft brick or else you wont be able to pc odin if something goes wrong.. i always make sure the rom im flashing has a cwm safe ics recovery or i flash one seperate after i flash rom in case of a bootloop i can still get into a safe recovery to flash with
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motomoose68:
You are right. My bad, I intentionally flashed the wrong root method and boot loader.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Sfhub has a rooted ff18 some where, but you can use mobile Odin to flash el26+cwm kernel tar and then flash a custom rom with root based on ff18 they will have the hotspot hack for free tether using the sprint hotspot. I hear blu kuban is really popular for touchwiz roms, I personally use my own version of aokp so I'm not real familiar with the touchwiz ics and which roms are the best other than what I've read, my choices for tw would be either blu kuban mijjahz goodness or one of venums roms

PC Odin

I don't have pc odin now. I'd like to get it back, but it appears to be a little costly and inconvenient to correct the boot loader issue. I've been trying not to brick the phone, and hope that I can find the correct .tar and/or recovery kernel.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
If you have the zip for the ROM you're using on your phone use root explorer or similar to extract the zImage to your sdcard move it to the root of your sdcard. Then download mobile terminal from the playstore. Open it, type su, hit enter, allow root access. then type dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 and then reboot.

He flashed the i9100 bootloader not the kernel so he has no access to Odin thru download mode. Trying to get him a kernel+recovery flashed so he can change Roms and his modem up to ff18, was gonna go the mobile Odin route with el26+cwm but I'm not sure if he has SU cuz he said he's on stock el29, but idk if its stock rooted or if he didn't make it that far :eek:

Drivers/Odin

Thanks for clarifying that the issue is caused by the incorrect bootloader. I do have root, this is confirmed by Astro, SU, and Titanium. I am still on the stock rom.

A friend of mine wondered if I downloaded i9100 drivers to the PC, if this would allow me to connect to PC Odin. I also wondered if the version of Odin could affect this, but my friend thinks it's more likely to be drivers. If this could work, then I could use Odin to flash the correct bootloader.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
If you have Kies installed (as you should) the drivers for the samsung phones should load whenever you plug a phone, so no, it will not work.

Like someone said you'l have to pay the $50 to get the bootloader fixed or fix it through the command line as times_infinity suggested.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motomoose68:
Kies/Drivers

With Kies installed on the PC, connecting a SPH-D710 with a GT-i9100 bootloader. Which drivers would be loaded, D710 or i9100? Does Kies contain drivers for all of the different models, or are there different versions of Kies?

I am looking into both options to correct the issue, plus also considering bypassing it by flashing rom or rooted kernel+recovery using Mobile Odin. I appreciate everyone's help, plus I am also trying to get a little more consensus as to the best solution.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
No drivers will be loaded as the phone is screwed, that's why you have to pay to get the correct bootloader.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] motomoose68:
Thanks!!!!!!

I want to thank everyone for their input and assistance. Your knowledge and time spent helping me is greatly appreciated.

Last night I was able to use Mobile Odin to flash this Kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390393). Thought it had bricked the phone for a minute, because I couldn't get the phone to turn on, boot into recovery or enter download mode. I decided to pull the battery and hold the power button down to drain any residual energy. I then put the battery in and was able to boot into the customer recovery. I then flashed Blazer's ICS rom (which looks much better than the earlier version I tried) and was able to reboot the phone. Everything seems to be working fine, the only evidence of my previous errors is when booting, I see the i-9100 on the boot screen, and I presume still can't get it to connect to Odin. Thankfully, I don't have to now.

Thank You!!!!

Old Bootloader

http://kernelrepo.chris41g.org/HowToYellowTriangle.asp

Thanks to rwilco12 for the help in trying to get the correct bootloader to fix my issue. Flashing the bootloader.exe didn't work to reinstall the SPH-D710 bootloader over the GT-i9100 bootloader, but if anyone else mistakenly roots with the old method, this should allow you to flash to an older SPH-D710 bootloader, so you can use the jig to clear the yellow triangle.

That being said, I highly recommend rooting via a one-click method, so you won't get the yellow triangle in the first place.

Thanks to everyone that helped during this learning experience!!!!

Hi,

My phone is Xperia Mini Pro. A few days ago I switched to CM9, the difference is huge, everything comes faster, smoother generally better, because anyone who is considering the change I suggest to move as soon as possible!

But this is not what this post was to be in CM9 default standard keyboard with Android. The most I miss T9 keyboard layout, a notice on the status bar (or typed text 'will be introduced from a large or a small letter', and that the normal characters or special characters [the blue button on the keyboard physical]) or it can be simply zbackupować with stockowego ROM CM'a and move on? If not, it is certainly a different way.

I also tried to copy the stockowego textinput-tng.apk to /system/app and chmod 644 it, but does not work, also tried to copy the files from the stock rom on CM9:

The same for me with Mini Pro.. Also, I cannot find a way to have word completion enabled with the physical keyboard, so I always have to type the whole words. Also accented letters are a lot faster to type if the word completion is available, as long-pressing a letter sometimes does not work. Finally, also the "world" key (which I often use in the original rom to change input language) is not working with the normal Xperia S keyboard I found in another thread. Naturally, that is beacuse the Xperia S has no physical keyboard =)

I am planning to follow your path of copying some files from the original rom, but I don't think it will be so simple =(

Not sure what went wrong, but you could try doing step 8 manually. Hold volume down and power for roughly 10 seconds, you should get into the H-boot screen.

[LG Optimus 2x] tsam19:
Hello all

Im new to the world of LG, already owning Samsungs Galaxy phones, I'm familiar with 'Rooting, Odin, Reset Flash Counts,Roms etc'

So the LG Optimus 2X LGP990 Star I have is Android based and is currently running on:

Ginger Bread V 2.3.4

Baseband 1035.21

Kernel 2.6.32

Build Number GRJ22

LGE Version LGP990-V20I

So then the questions are:

Is there an alternative program to Odin ?

Is there a program similar to Samsung kies ?

Is there a recovery mode / download mode key config ?

Is there a 'firmware site' like 'sammobile' to download firmware from ?

Does ICS 4.0.x exist for this phone, if yes how can I install it?

I've been to the LG software support section and installed the Win Drivers and the support tool and thats about it for support.

It says the phone is at the latest version - V20L

So many thanks for reading and hope fully some one will be able to point me in the right direction.

:good::good:

Alternative for LG PC suit is "my phone explorer", Google it. And firm ware is NV flash tool for installation of recovery mode "Do no use any app for installing CWM " you can get this tools by browsing xda in 2x forums.

I can not paste direct links,I am typing this message from my 2x.

And there will be an official update released soon.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] tsam19:
Thats great to hear a possible ICS rom, hopefully official.

I'm surprised there wasn't one for this phone before the Samsung Galaxy Range.

Comparing the speed / responsiveness of the LG Optimus phone and the Samsung Galaxy S2 / Note - I'd say the speed of the optimus is far quicker and responsive - it's a nifty little phone :good:

There's another thead in this section on rooting the LGP 990 for the 1st time, just read it and the principles are the same as for the Galaxy S2 or Note.

So basically I use 'super one click 2.3.2' - probably an exe file for the pc?

I have CWM apk app installer I downloaded and kept for my Samsung phones - yes it works ok

But alternatively, I install:

1) Rom manager 1st - which then gives me the option to install CWM from within it

2) Boot into CWM recovery mode from that option in Rom Manager

No odin though, install rom image as a zip file from the ext / int sd card.

I notice there are no 'safe / unstable kernels to flash prior to and post rooting the LGP990?

I presume whatever rom I install, will erase / wipe over the original template already in the phone?

What is the best rom to install on the LGP990 at the minute, or is it worth just waiting for the ICS rom?

Cheers for the help :good:
