In need of some help....

So, daughter brings me her phone, won't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G" screen.

1. Tried to restore through recovery, no update file.

2. I put it to D/L mode, opened Odin 4.43, flashed uvlg3.odin. Odin says passed, won't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G" screen.

3. I put it to D/L mode, opened Heimdall Frontend , get libusb error: -12

4. Tried using ADB & Fastboot, typed adb device, nothing is listed.

5. I put it to D/L mode, opened Odin 1.85, recognizes device, never connect after pushing start.

Any suggestions?

Should I have started a new thread with this question?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TripFX:
posting in help forum would have been better but its ok. in odin 4.4.3 can you flash odin cwm jfbs provided in cm11 post under development? if so it will boot you in it via power+vol-up?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Devil-Dog:
TripFX, you rock!

Sorry, I searched and was clicking different links for the phone and didn't realize what forum I was in. I took your suggestions and flashed odin cwm jfbs. Used the mount PC option, loaded different ROMs. I settled on EHNDROIX II for now. I got "Unfortunately, Android Keyboard has stopped working" with the others after installing GAPPS.

I have one more question now.....

Where do I send my first born child? Don't worry, he's old enough to work!

Hi Guys,

I am a newbie, well beyond newbie with android, I got my first phone (for my wife) the other day, T679, and stock OS is very sluggish.

I want to get peach sunrise on it so I can maintain most of the stock functionality including 911 and wifi calling, what not.

What is the first thing do I have to do?

Do I need to do this as absolute first thing? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26860509&postcount=4

After this, what do I get, is it rooted already or do I still have to go back and do one of the things listed here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686384

There are some things mentioned in both topics, it is very confusing.

I thought this topic would be a very clear step by step instructions including sub-steps.

There are also 3 different set of instructions in the main topic I linked..

I am pretty tech savvy but now I started feeling old, new generation is getting pretty complicated. In our days cd a:/, run game.bat was all we needed to run stuff. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
Yea, first thing to do is flash CWM in recovery by taking the battery out of your phone, putting it back in, pressing the power and volume up key and then remove the power key after restarting 2 times to give it a time to get into recovery, then repeat it again to get into CWM after it finishes flashing, make a backup, after the backup finishes, do a ROMwipe, and make sure do format cache and delvik cache so you don't get any errors, THEN flash peach sunrise. If you want, download titanium backup before you do this whole process if you need to back up any applications, there you go. Have fun with your phone!

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Great job. Thanks for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
Anytime. Thats what I'm here for. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Joe, you are a life saver, I just posted the question elsewhere, not knowing you replied here (email subscription was not on by default).

This is what I asked there:

So basically:

1- First I boot into stock recovery using method posted
2- Then I install custom recovery using stock recovery and applying from sd : cwm.6012.t679.zip (that is in internal storage)
3- Then I reboot and go back into recovery, but i have custom recovery now.
4- At this stage I can make a nandroid backup and keep my stock image on my SD card..
5- then I wipe the Rom with RomWipe (everything is gone..)
6-Then Install Zip from SD Card and I choose peach.sunrise.3.01.zip (Before doing this, do I have to do root-stock.zip?)
7-That's it? I am rooted and using Peach Sunrise now?

The reason I am asking is, do I still have to install root-stock.zip before any of the steps above? maybe before step 6?
OR does installing CWM and then Peach Sunrise automatically install root-stock.zip? I just want to make sure I don't do the same thing twice or mess up, and I want to get the general idea so I can apply in the future. :confused:

The only main concern was root-stock.zip

I did not understand if that was required or not.. So installing CWM then Peach Sunrise makes it rooted by default?

And if I simply want to root, I don't install peach, but I install root-stock.zip.. did I get that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
That is indeed correct. The ROMs themselves are rooted.

I too was surprised when I first figured out how easy it was working with this phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Thank you.

Does installing cwm let the user delete the bloatware installed by T-Mobile, or do you have to install the root-stock.zip?

I just want to see if I can delete the annoying bloatware and free up some space.

If something goes terribly wrong and I lose the nandroid backup, will someone else's stock rom image work on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
CWM recovery won't do that for you.

Youll have to install the root stock zip.

Then you'll need to download Titanium Backup from the Play Store. That'll let you delete the bloat. But you can also "freeze" apps, which is always a good idea if you're unsure if its ok to delete it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Thank you! So basically if I take a nandroid back up before I install root stock zip, and play with stuff, mess up the whole thing, freeze this, remove that, then I can just do a romwipe and then restore my nandroid back up and it will all be back to normal (but I would still be able to remove bloatware manually)

I just want to root the phone first since I spent a while setting it up with accounts, media, apps, etc.. If I still don't see performance improvement, I would go back wipe and install one of the 3-4 widely used roms (CM10, Peach, RebelRom, SlimBean)..

I guess I am getting the hang of this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
So this is all new to me. I managed to flash jocala's rooted stock ROM onto my phone and bam my phone is rooted. I did this with a PC. I am now without a PC. I manage to download flashtostock.zip on my phone and flash everything back to stock. My problem is I'm trying to download jocala's rooted kernel onto my phone but its not letting me do that. Is the link broken or is it just not letting me download it to my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
I've had trouble downloading a file from a posted link from time to time.

If you are not using the stock browser when clicking the link, try using that. If you *are* using the stock browser, try a different one, say Dolphin.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Didn't u get it rooted then went back to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
I got the phone rooted flashing Jocala root stock ROM. I realized I wanted more than a rooted stock rom. So I flashed back to stock and have been trying to figure out how to root this phone the right way. With no avail I think I might give up for the night.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
I believe I started with jocalas rooted kernel and kept my stock ROM. Then I tried peach sunrise. Then rebelrom. Then cm 9 . Then cm10. Now slimbean. I never went back to stock. The only way I know of to make this phone better is to get a custom ROM. I started back in august and once I caught on I haven't stopped lol.

Edit: I followed Jocalas directions using my PC. But now I can do it all from my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
What do you mean "right way"?

I have been on the same boat, finally I figured out most of it. Just wipe it from cwm and then flash it with any one of the roms, maybe you just want some better features, so you can try other roms like CM10 which seems to be the most popular, but may have some bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
So if I start with jocala's kernel I'll be able to flash whatever ROM I want?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

I want a ROM that's stable. This is the only phone I have and I cant afford another. I'm trying to be as safe as i can.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jrleathers:
Actually I think as long as u have cwm or twrp recovery u can flash any of the exhibit ROMs. When u get into recovery mode , make a backup before wiping anything so if u don't like the ROM you chose then u can always go back by restoring your backup. Not sure u can use restore to go back to stock though.

Edit: not sure you can go straight from fully stock to any of these roms. I think u need cwm or twrp to flash these roms . I just know that I started with jocalas instructions on rooting the phone ( there were two ways to do it) Then I used it that way for a while, then followed directions for peach sunrise which was the first custom ROM I had flashed. I know its a lot of info , but once you do it its simple.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If u flash cwm u can then flash any of the custom ROMs found in this OP which all of them are rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:

It sounds like a lot of work for you to keep this topic up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
it's necessary to have a new updated thread for this device, for the newbies, and someone already does.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
I was on the same boat as him, I had no clue what to do, but with help from people like you and the OP of this thread I figured out most of the stuff.

Also the key is to take your time, don't rush into anything. I spent probably over 2 weeks reading stuff and trying to understand the basics.

The bottom line is, get cwm on your phone first, and take a nandroid image backup. After that -I understand- you are covered. Keep that image in a safe place (it will create two folders, make sure you save them both under the date) and then start flashing various roms.

You can try rooting the stock and removing the bloatware first, see if that actually helps. At this point you can take another image back up and keep it in your collection.

2nd step would be wiping and then trying the peach sunshine. And then another image, now you got 3 images to restore if anything goes wrong.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

Certainly, you are right, otherwise where would people like me and the others above ask questions.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
I've seen nothing but stability with both Peach Sunrise and Slimbean.

The only time I introduced any instability is when I started messing with custom kernels. But that's totally optional stuff. And both Peach and Slim are already very smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
I just installed root-stock.zip (http://d-h.st/s9X) how do I go about deleting/removing bloatware?

When I run superuser, and go to apps, it says "No apps in list". :confused: Is there another section I need to go?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
Install Titanium Backup from the Play Store. You'll need that app to delete system apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
I actually was just installing TB now to "freeze" the apps, and realized it also offers uninstall capabilities. I always thought root access via super user would be built in, but now it is all being much more clearer that actually some roms take advantage of the superuser by using built-in tools.. Since i only rooted the stock rom, there is still nothing on the stock rom to take advantage of this.. Did I get this right?

Also it is a bit scary that we have to enable unknown sources if we need to restore anything.. I just have to remember to disable it once I restore (if I ever use it to restore anything) what happens when someone tries to restore with Unknown Sources disabled? Will it just stop or will there be a major problem like half-restore and then corruption?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ticojpunk:
The Superuser app/utility is sort of like a guardian. It sits between the heart of your phone, and apps that want access to it. The heart being root. So Superuser isn't necessarily doing any of the work, its just alerting you when an app (like TB) wants root access.

And yes, a rooted stock ROM has no extra capabilities in and of itself.

Its like the unscalable electric fence has been replaced with a gate and a gate guard (Superuser).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Very nice explanation. Too bad TB wants $ to freeze apps. :) What does it exactly do to freeze the app, does it only make it seem like it is not installed? Isn't it same as TB back up, TB un-install and then if there is any problem TB restore? Are there any big benefits of freezing apps instead of backing up, uninstalling and then restoring them through TB?

This is a great topic, btw!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] #1n00b:
So I just flashed my first custom ROM and my phone still works. I created a nandroid backup first then flashed Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory. I'm very happy.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Congratulations. Which carrier are you with?

When saving your nandroid, make sure you also save blobs, I've been told that most of the back up data is actually in blobs, and not in the dated folder. Keep us posted! I am playing with mine and will soon flash to peach sunrise.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KindleUser:
I never did that and my backups worked correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] hydeah:
Are you sure?

Are you telling me that whole back up image is only 14.0 MB? because that's what I have in my drive now.

to make sure I did another back up to another SD that I just formatted:

while blobs folder matches the space occupied by the phone on system memory:
