Root Odin (Return phone to Stock/Factory)

i have the file on my desktop and cant seem to get it to work in the cmd


the system cannot find the path specified


maybe i need to reinstall adb,if so how do i do that?
 
copy the contents of this http://goo.gl/S5wq7 to your c drive (this is the onc click root, but contains adb.) DONT INCLUDE THE FOLDER, JUST THE CONTENTS
once the contents are in c drive press the windows key and type cmd
right click command prompt, and choose run as admin
then type
Code: 
cd c:\
adb reboot recovery
it should boot into recovery

nope, looks like usb debugging isnt working(turned on) on the phone... was worth a shot. did you try this with any of the odin images you personally made (ones that might have use debugging turned on?)

the good news is you now know how to access adb... lol. (if you just type 'adb' instead of 'adb reboot recovery' it will list the available commands you can use when usb debugging is enabled on the phone (and the drivers are installed correctly))

thank you and i will keep trying.....the usb debugging was on on the phone when it messed up.....maybe i can select debugging when i do another odin try.......i will keep you posted and once again thank you for your fast response
 
Not unless you flash a bootimg w/o cwm in it... Lol
Just to be clear, you are holding Vol up + power button? (also try holding camera, someone said they had to do that) what does it do? Does it just go to Samsung logo? Does it stop at very first screen, or boot animation?


Long shoot, but try adb in dl mode...

lol..... ya im holding the volume up button and the power button.....
also when i do my odin backups it gets stuck on the sytem rfs.download
when i turn the phone on it stops at the first screen with the samsung name and website on it and when i put it in dm it will slightly flash that same screen right before the yellow dm comes on also it is not showing a charge the battery icon is all grey
 
My first Prevail did that after a few months. I could Odin till the cows came home, but it would not help.

I finally Odined back to stock unrooted and took back to Boost. They took it back and gave me the one I have now.

I have wondered if the newest CWM with boot partition support would have fixed it, or a Kouma pack from another phone.

I always suspected some sort of hardware malfunction involving the USB charging port. I had charged it using a cheap Chinese charger. More Voodoo belief magical system thinking on my part. Still use that Charger but do not connect phone to it.

Have also read claims that Samsung may have code to brick your phone if you are doing certain things reserved only for GOD and Boost. The mad scientist bunji stick tripwire boobytrap. One so evil and diabolical that even ODIN, as we know him, has no power to resurrect. I was playing with everything with no fear at that time, until that happened. I do not know if this is an urban legend, but it comes from a respected source.

BTW, the chicken bones in a circle and requisite dance did no good except to give me much needed exercise.

The chicken was delicious...
 
Hey guys,

My phone is rooted using the one click root method. It is working perfectly, but I keep getting the notice to install the upgrade. I read that if I click upgrade then it will brick my phone because it is rooted. I know that I need to return it back to stock before I can upgrade, and I have a few questions...

1. Will I lose all my contacts? Is there a way to back them up?

2. Which file do I need to use so I can upgrade the phones operating system OTA? I believe I know which file, but I want to be one hundred percent sure...

3. Is there anything else I should backup or anything else I should be aware of while reverting my phone back to stock?

4. I know that when I first bought my phone I setup a Gmail account - this was a while ago, and I forget the username and password. Is there a way I can check this before reverting back to stock?

Rooting was very easy and I am hoping this is the same... worried that I may do something wrong and end up with a bricked phone, when it is working fine now.

Thanks for any help,

Erick
 
1. Will I lose all my contacts? Is there a way to back them up? Theyre backed up on your google accont.

2. Which file do I need to use so I can upgrade the phones operating system OTA? I believe I know which file, but I want to be one hundred percent sure...
You need the links in the first post

3. Is there anything else I should backup or anything else I should be aware of while reverting my phone back to stock? back up all your apps with titanium backup and do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery

4. I know that when I first bought my phone I setup a Gmail account - this was a while ago, and I forget the username and password. Is there a way I can check this before reverting back to stock?
google's website ??
 
"DOWNLOAD EJ06 Gingerbread Stock Image made by Koumajutsu" does not allow me to disable sounds on keypress, even when turned off in settings.

I did the same Monster. But each dump will be different I believe, depending on what Rom your on and what mods your running. I did one with stock rooted GB.

wow, there are devices that support the use of SD cards Externally? Here I was putting my SD cards in the internal reader.

how do I get my phone to recognize the SD card when it's external to the device?
 
Please excuse this question if it has been answered past page 1 and before page 11. I did read those...

What is the difference between EE13, 14 and EJO6, I am guessing theses are version numbers generated by the creators.

I am wanting to start from scratch. Phone is rooted, I think, and the updater aborts and comes up 6 times a day saying an update is available.

So, I like the guide and was gonna start using the apps here, and wondered which of the above images I should use with Odin.

I am guessing the latest one, but want to make sure they are all compatible.
 
ED13 is/was the baseband that came originally on the first prevails. EE14 was samsung's ATTEMPT to block root (lasted less than a week if i remember lol)-both are for froyo (android 2.2.2)

EJ06 is a Gingerbread baseband (android 2.3.5) and CURRENTLY newest for this phone.

all are compatible with this phone, although most (good) prevail roms are based on 2.3.5 so to use the up-to-date (still supported) roms, you need gingerbread (2.3.5) and its baseband (EJ06)

good point, maybe they just meant in sd card as opposed to internal but who knows.

other note: this app uses your recovery on reboot, it must just be a simple script they are using

"..we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected."
