Root Odin (Return phone to Stock/Factory)

[Lordvincent 90]

You are using boot pda and phone, with the phone in downloading mode, connected to the computer, drivers installed, and it runs, and reboots but no super user app... something is wrong...

Boot into recovery (hold volume up + power)
Does it say clockwork mod recovery on the top?

OCR?

(apparently im not as versed as i thought)

edit - disregard i figured it meant oneclickroot. it didnt work either.

Don't sweat it. OCR stands for One Click Root. It will not work on newer phones. The thread has even been locked.

no, it says android system recovery. im assuming that's not right.

 

[ninjarabbit]

yeah, I know that its been patched but I just figured it was worth a shot... I've still not ran into a prevail that the OCR hasn't worked on...

list your steps, then someone will be able to tell you where you went wrong

Are you using all three (four including ops) files?
Is phone in downloading mode? (volume down + camera + power)
Does it show up in yellow com box in Odin?
Does it error?

this is exactly what happened. i followed the instructions to the letter, and havent gotten any errors or problems doing it. just the fact that the end product isnt rooted.

Have you tried it on a phone running GingerBread w/ the update? It's a NO GO.

Thanks for the suggestion though

try a different usb port? Reboot computer and try again? Reinstall the drivers? Try a different computer? Your phone hates you?

Just covering all the bases- you are using the Odin version that comes with the download, correct?

Also, try Odin as admin? (never had to do this myself, but figure worth a shot)

That looks like a pass.
so, if you're sure you downloaded a rooted image, and Odin flashes to the phone successfully, and the phone boots up without CWM and not rooted, the only logical explanation that remains is that you are in the wrong directory when you browse for the tar files, and have been flashing in a stock image from a different folder.

Please check your directories and try your call.... err flash again

 

[Lordvincent 90]

That is very true. Odin opens to the previous folder used, so even if you open the copy of Odin in the rooted image's folder, when you click on one of the boxes, it opens the folder containing the files from the previous flash.

the only files in the folder are the rooted ones. i have not used any others.
i downloaded the zip, extracted and used only the files in it.

yup. you were exactly right. ive been flashing the same one.
i will try again with the correct packets, ill let you know.

i should have paid attention. that's what i get for doing it at midnight lol.

edit - while im doing this, what's the difference between the FA19 and EJ06?

 

[Lordvincent 90]

Some people experience dropped calls and bad signal/3g with fa19... It was boost/Samsung catching up to the forum (we beat them to 2.3.6 ) some have no issues with fa19... I personally use ej06, as i travel for work and boost signal is precious as is, lol. T try either, see when one is better for you

HUZZAH

i tried the EJ06 after paying attention, and adding packets from the correct folder, and it worked! i owe you all a beer! hell, a six pack!
