[How To] Root FB17 after flashing stock unrooted .tar

I've had no success in flashing the pre rooted .zips through clockwork. Shabby's would not boot past samsung screen for me and the other one posted in general by saladinacc had no data. When I flashed the .tar everything worked fine just had no root. Here's the way I got root.
1. Download ODIN & flash FB17 .tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505437.
2. Download a GB kernel with built in recovery, I used Rogue Kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564.
Download .tar and flash through ODIN. Do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
3. Download SU.zip from here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Boot into CWM recovery and flash su.zip. Again, do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
4. Download stock FB17 ICS kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?f571n4e8wdhud21 and flash through CWM.
Reboot to system and you should have rooted stock FB17.
After flashing back the stock FB17 kernel you will lose clockwork.
This is just a quick and dirty work around until the devs release a pre rooted CWM zip.

Lol thanks bro. Its how I rooted mine, so it's tested and confirmed working by me. ;P
I finally jumped ship from the evo 3D to ET4G. Already started porting my old epic themes over. To both GB & ICS.

also which modem are you using?

I pm'd earlier and I am still lost. I cant flash the kernel in ODin. It keeps giving me an error saying MD5 invalid. Am I missing something.

thinking about giving this a try. Just one question, after Odin'ing the GB kernel, doesn't Odin Automatically try to reboot you into system? How do you stop it from doing that so you can boot into recovery and flash su...etc.?

Not sure about this but do you have to rename the file and take off the .md5?

I haven't tried yet, but can we just unselect the Auto-Reboot option in Odin? If not, just when the phone is about to reboot, hold down power and Volume Up and it should go back into Recovery.

[SOLVED] E:/ Errors after going back to stock

After I did the ODIN one-click. It says successful
But after it passes the S2 screen. I get all these bunch of E:/ errors saying it can't mount or file cannot be specified in red letters.
I got a new Epic 4G Touch so I'm trying to sell the other one.

Which one-click? Are you sure it was for the SPH-D710?

GC01 one-click. It is for my device model SPH-D710BST

I also tried flashing the non-rooted via ODIN and same thing.
Think I may have hard-bricked it.

Maybe your cable is bad and it caused the partitions to be screwed up during the flash. It almost sounds like the data partition thing that was plaguing users for a while.
Try checking the option in Odin to wipe or reformat partitions. I'm not at the computer so I can't say exactly what box it is.

It's a brand new stock samsung sync cable. So doubt it's the cable, then again, new doesn't exactly mean it's functional
I will try your suggestion and will get back to you with the results

Here's what it should look like. Just click PDA then select the tar.md5 file and click start.

Is it suppose to stay on setupconnection for awhile?

Not really, maybe a few seconds. I always had trouble when I had the USB connected before opening Odin. I usually open Odin, boot into download mode, connect the USB, then after I see the COM port pop up I will select the tar and flash. I never really needed to select re-partition though.

Please tell me, i'm having the same issue as you

Instructions:
1: Download a GB TW ROM (EG30 STOCK ROM)
2: Download the provided pit file HERE
3: Open ODIN 3.x
4: Place the EG30 ROM in the PDA slot
5. Place the pit file in the PIT slot.
5a. Make sure the Re-partition box is checked (located on the left side)
6: Put your phone in download mode.
7. Plug it in, and click start
This method worked for me. It may or may not successfully work for you. So try at your own risk.

You could possibly use EL29 since the partitions are the same, you will need an EL29 PIT file. I suggest using what was already linked so that you don't have to go on a wild goose chase.
EG30 was the first GB release. Just use that then follow the OTA path up until FL24 ICS. Then use Kies to update to GB27.

Not able to flash recovery.. help please

Hello all,
I was hoping one of you can help me. I purchased an s4 m919 yesterday from Tmobile. It is fully stock and it arrived with 4.2.2 M919UVUAMDL.
I am no stranger to the world of rooting,roms and cwm. I had an s2 back in the day so I am no stranger to odin either. Basically my goal is this:
1. Install CWM
2. Backup Stock FW in CWM
3. Install Custom rom from dev section
My process with odin is as follows:
make sure all is UNchecked except auto reboot.
place appropriate cwm tar in "pda" section
click start.
The process begins and instead of passing it fails. My phone also softbricks and I have to restore with kies.
I've already restored and bricked once thinking that maybe the first time was a bad download.
I have no ideas. I've googled and searched on xda and nobody seems to have a problem flashing recovery.
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks,
frustrated and confused

Are you rooted? Try installing through the Rom Manager app itself?

After you have rooted download cwm from market and follow the prompt's once clock work mod has flashed do a backup and you will need to download ad away by chain fire this will reset the flash counter and once that is done enjoy flashing
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app

Well it looks like ive run into a more immediate problem. Like i said I tried it once and it bricked I succesfully recovered with kies. I tried another download and the same thing happened. I went to restore with kies and now im getting an error in kies about 70% in. I need to go to emergency recovery and I do and that errors out. If problem persists contact samsung. Great.... I'm going to try and restore to stock using odin but my phone just seems to hate odin.
Edit: i tried restoring stock image in odin and fails almost right away. what is with this phone ?!

Try another USB port, and stock USB cable if you aren't using it. If you are grab a different cable and try it. If still errors out try another computer.

From my understanding you should have auto reboot UNchecked when Odin flashing CWM. Pretty sure you're supposed to leave everything unchecked and then after it's finished you unplug, pull the battery and then turn on the phone. Looks like your problem is before this though, so I would try another computer and make sure that you're using the stock cable.

Yes I think so I don't think having auto reboot checked would cause it to fail so bluntly. Am i just destined for a stock sgs4? Times like these makes me miss my nexus 4. I wish the damn thing hadn't broken=( oh well.. let me know if you have more questions.

Just follow a video step by step if anything. I prefer TWRP over CWM. If you do use TWRP make sure you use version 2.5.0.2 as 2.6 has been having problems!

[Q] Help! No operting system installed SPH-l900

In tring to flash a rom i took an extra step and accidently deleted the os.
Previous to this, two months back, i attempted to flash a couple diffrent Macksrom versions, allstar v5 being the one recently.
I havent had succes flashing any, when a ttempting to flash months ago i did get to flash perseus kernel.
Attempted to flash back to stock and unroot with odin, this past week but my sprint GN2 isnt regestring on odin.
Tried having odin up then download mode and visversa.
Tried different usb ports.
Even tried a diffrent pc, drivers are up to date on both and seems GN2 will not connect to odin.
Please help. Thanks

Using odin3 version 3.07 teal [com7] im not sure if its one click. The stock firmware is from samsung-updates.com the tutorial i watched said if com is teal to download drivers and it will be yellow and im ready for lash.
Aother question instead of the stock could i just flash the rom i intended to orginallly by
Unzipping and flashing the tar file via the pdf, even if its teal?

I would not recommend flashing an unzipped rom through odin. What you could do is just try to flash the tar version of twrp from goo.im. make sure its for this phone. Once flash bpot to recovery and flash.

Have you tried to restore? I had that happen to me. It said no os installed so I went back and restored my backup. What I think happened is that you are running a 4.2.2 ROM and you're trying to flash a 4.1 ROM and it causes some kind of conflict. I am not an expert but I think that's what happened in my case.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

So I re partitioned my phone last week and screwed it bad. SO YES I DO NOT HAVE A OS. but I been trying for the past 3 hours to replace it. I downloaded the Stock rom for the SPH-L900 and tryed to replace it using ODIN 3.07 and ODIN 1.87. No joy. I get the "sboot.bin" fail error. I found another link that is supposed to take the phone back to 100% stock but the download in the link is saying a day or so of downloading due to me trying to use the public library's wifi....I honestly dont know if it will work but for those who are having problems with sboot.bin here is the link. I take no credit and I am not responsible if you melt your note II. Hell im gonna try it soon as I can so mine may be melted too. best of luck

When i tried to flash to stock on friday i was using as admin.
Sorry about the slow response just moved and no open wifi

I think I bricked my phone?

My phone kept freezing so I figured I would wipe everything on my phone and just reboot it and it would give me a fresh install, BUT I wiped EVERYTHING cache, internal, external storage and now when I try to reboot it says "No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" when I select Yes it just reboots and I see the samsung logo and then it turns off. I tried hooking my phone up to my computer via USB and copying a ROM zip file to the external or internal SD and when it is copying it gives me a error saying "The device has stopped responding or has been disconnected" I tried taking my SD card out and putting it back in and formating it and that didn't fix it.
My phone is a Sprint Samsung Note 4 and I was using the USB cable that came with the phone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

From another thread with no OS...

If you have your PC USB driver installed, boot into recovery, connect USB to PC, goto mounts on TWRP and enable MTP. Then you should see phone and card folders to move your ROM to.
If you use phone folder, don't wipe internal memory before flashing ROM.

I got a PM from the OP in that thread, he did get a good ROM zip from PC to card on phone and flash and boot. He retired from posting for the night because it was so late.

You could just Odin the stock tar and root again.

MTP is enabled, I see the the two folders, but as soon as I try copying files to the folders I get an error message :/

Did you try mounting system? What kernel are you using?
It may sound strange but keeping your phone's screen awake may make a difference too.
I wouldn't hesitate to just Odin the stock tar if this doesn't help.
Edit: you could also unmount the sdcard and remove it and write to it with a USB sdcard reader.

I put the SD card in my Tab S 10.5 and am currently copying over the zip, hopefully this works.

That works too. I was just editing my reply as you responded.

Well it worked by installing the ROM, but now it just boots and says "Could not do normal boot, Odin Mode (High Speed)" Then shows the little android guy and downloading... :/
EDIT: This was the ROM zip I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-sixperience-n5-port-v1-0-beta-t3204460
Won't let me boot into TWRP mode
Also is there a step by step guide on how to get back to stock using ODIN? I've been searching, but no luck.

I followed the link; it's for Exynos 910C?
Do you have 910P Sprint phone or something else? Sprint version uses Snapdragon processor.

Odin stock tar is simple. You already have the USB driver, right?
Power down
Pull battery 30 seconds
Boot into download mode
Flash in Odin 3.10.7 with defaults
Let it boot, go through setup wizard
Look for one activation reboot request
Test data and GPS
Odin TWRP with no auto reboot
Pull battery and USB
Boot into TWRP
Follow ROM OP for install instructions

Okay so I download Odin 3.10.7, do I need to also download a stock sprint ROM .md5 file or something? Sorry for all the questions, just waiting on a call for a job interview and phone is out of commison lol...

Stock OK1 tar is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63868221&postcount=1
Verify the md5 with a md5 checker on your PC.
Extract only the tar.md5 from zip for Odin to find. I.E., right-click, open archive with 7zip and drag the tar.md5 to Odin folder.

THANK YOU! You're a life saver! For the future what did you search to find the most current stock rom tar file? I searched "stock sprint note 4 rom odin" and it gave me some old file and wasn't working, but the one you gave me worked!

Sprint Note 4 general forum usually has a faster download link than Sammobile. Someone usually pulls it, uploads it and posts it there.
