Angel Updated Odin Images Available - 1.6 Release
OEM 1.6 Packages are uploaded now!


Odin files for the 1.6 OEM update are now available! All necessary files and instructions are included in the download. To use the update you will need a Windows PC, USB cable, your Behold II, and about 5 minutes.

Root "patch" is now available here: http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/128131-get-root-based-new-1-6-finally.html
Flash this after getting the the OEM update.

Download Behold II T939UVJE2 OEM Odin Files and Instructions

Click "Save file to your PC" near the bottom right.

Windows 64 bit (Vista and after) - FYI

A new "security feature" in Windows prevents installing and loading of drivers that have not been signed by Microsoft. If you have a 64bit operating system, Vista or newer, you will have to follow special procedures to install and use the included drivers. If signed drivers exist they will be added to the download when they are found.

Before you installed the drivers and whenever you want to use the ADB / Odin functionality later you must do the following:

  1. Reboot your computer, once it begins starting immediately hold F8.
  2. After a few seconds you will get the Windows Startup Menu.
  3. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".
  4. Install or use your driver/device in Windows.

CAUTION:
Some users are reporting that after the update the phone will temporarily be stuck in a boot loop. This seems to happen when the user has previously installed certain custom ROMs such as Take5 and Galaxy R12.

The work-around requires a complete factory wipe of the phone, meaning you will lose all of your data and apps not on the SD card. If you want to proceed in this case do the following:

When the phone appears to be stuck in the boot loop..
  1. Pull the battery and reinsert it.
  2. Hold down Volume Down + Call + End.
  3. When the [!] logo appears press 'menu'. This will perform the factory reset.

Special thanks to Mazz35, ikhtiar, slmar123, and everyone else who supported this effort.


Below is an outdated release!

 Special thanks goes to SoulCreator for giving me a working ROM dump after I botched mine in test #1 - don't worry it works now

Use these firmware images to update your phone to the latest official firmware (UVJA3) if you haven't received it automatically yet. If you've been using a custom ROM, you can return to the updated stock build with these as well.

The downloads contain the Odin software, Samsung ADB drivers, and images (update or full flash depending). This is everything you need to perform the firmware flash - no root or other special tools/knowledge is necessary.
CAUTION: Interrupting the flashing process may render you phone permanently unusable. Keep this in mind while you set everything up.

Update: Do this if you want to keep your apps, settings, and data. You will only loose root and custom ROM features.

Update-T939UVIJ6-to-UVJA3-OnePackage.zip
  1. Turn off and disconnect your Behold 2 from your computer.
  2. Extract and setup the Samsung ADB drivers if you haven't already done this.
  3. Connect your Behold 2 via USB.
  4. Start the phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding the following buttons in order: Volume Down > D-Pad OK > Power/End.
  5. Run Odin Multi Downloader v4.03.exe.
  6. Click Reset Files.
  7. Click OPS - pick Behold2.ops.
  8. Under Options, check One Package.
  9. Click One Package - pick Update-T939UVIJ6-to-UVJA3-OnePackage.tar.md5.
  10. Click Start. Odin and your phone's screen will begin to display the status of the firmware download process. After a minute your phone will reboot while Odin continues its timer. Your phone is flashed at this point and you can begin to use it after it boots.


Full Flash: Do this if you want to revert to the (updated) stock firmware after using a custom ROM. You will loose all applications, settings, and data on the phone.

T939UVJA3-Odin.zip

  1. Turn off and disconnect from your computer your Behold 2.
  2. Extract and setup the Samsung ADB drivers if you haven't already done this.
  3. Connect your Behold 2 via USB.
  4. Start the phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding the following buttons in order: Volume Down > D-Pad OK > Power/End.
  5. Run Odin Multi Downloader v4.03.exe.
  6. Click Reset Files.
  7. Click OPS - pick Behold2.ops.

  9. Click PHONE - pick T939UVJA3-PHONE-20100318.tar.md5.
  10. Click PDA - pick T939UVJA3-PDA-20100318.tar.md5.
  11. Click Start. Odin and your phone's screen will begin to display the status of the firmware download process. After a minute your phone will reboot while Odin continues its timer. Your phone is flashed at this point and you can begin to use it after it boots.

These Odin images were made by myself, not released by T-Mobile or Samsung. Some members of the community may like to know how this was done, so I am working on a guide. Its relatively simple and can be done by anyone comfortable with a command line. The guide is found here: Creating Custom ROMs/Backups for Odin
