How long did it take for you to flash back to stock? i have been trying to flash just the system for about an hour now
Once I flashed the Kernel, Recovery, and System that all together took about 10 minutes. Remember to do them one by one. Put the .ops file in the OPS box, and use the One Package box, and just flash them one by one. Doesn't matter what order.

My WiFi works just fine, I'm surprised nobody's else is. Maybe my method of updating?

Recovery won't apply it unless it's specifically called update.zip. From what I've seen online.
lol ill just wait till a week or two passes when all the bugs are worked out xD
Haha I don't blame you, I almost didn't do the update myself, I was VERY scared when my phone rebooted to a blank black screen. I can't believe I pulled the battery out, by that point I said to myself "OH CRAP I JUST BRICKED MY PHONE!"
Good call, Better safe than sorry in my book.

no problem man. quick question though, if we updated our phone manually and it's back to stock settings and running 2.3.6, would the update you're releasing tomorrow work and override the stock update and allow us to have root and CWM?

Take your time it comes when it comes.
I really appreciate all the hard work you do for this phone. If it wasn't for you and all the other devs on this phone I would have probably dumped it by now.
3. Once downloaded, run Odin and then put your phone in "download mode" by turning off your phone, waiting 30 seconds for it to completely shut down, and then by pressing and holding the camera button + volume down + power until it restarts into download mode. Press volume up to continue. Connect your phone to your computer.
***It should automatically update the drivers for your phone, if not you will need to manually locate the drivers online and install them. My computer did this for me automatically***
4. Once your phone is connected, and Odin is up and running you should see in the upper left side of Odin that it says "COM: #" and that's how you know it's connected. If that's not there, you didn't install the drivers properly.
5. Under the COM ports section, make sure that you have checked "One Package" "Reboot" & "Protect OPS" and nothing else and "Debug only" in UNCHECKED!
6. Then click "OPS" and select the Transform Ultra Odin OPS file you downloaded
7. Then click "One Package" on the bottom of the window and select one of the other 3 files you downloaded (recovery, kernel, or system). *Note: the system file is in a zip file, just unzip it and use the file inside for the system file*
8. Once it has finished uploading a file, it will reboot. Just power down your phone. Close out Odin and reopen it for each file you flash if it doesn't say "PASSED" above the COM Port you are using after you power down your phone.
9. Repeat steps 3-8 to reflash the recovery, kernel, and system images to your phone.
***You will now be back to stock version 2.3.4***
10. Once these have been done, download the original file in the first post by interdpth.
11. Rename the file to "update.zip" and place it on the root folder on your sd card (root meaning the base location on your sd card "sdcard/update.zip")
12. Power down your phone, wait 30 seconds, reboot into recovery mode by pressing and holding volume down + power and then releasing only the power button once it says "Samsung" on the screen. Connect your phone to your wall charger!
13. Using the volume up/down keys, highlight "apply update from /sdcard"
14. Press the power button to select it.
15. Allow the phone to update, it might hang at 20% for a while and then when it's done, it will reboot itself!
Once it reboots, let it sit for another minute and a pop up will appear saying "finalizing update" and then it will pop up saying "update complete" and you will be running 2.3.6 on your Transform Ultra!
You will notice some slight changes like the "Boost Zone" app and different live wallpapers, along the phone and ID buttons changing color. The touch screen works MUCH better and there are no more CIQ's on the phone.
Anyways, I hope this helps you all who don't want to wait for interdpth to get it working with root and CWM, although he should have it up and running tomorrow evening. I know a lot of you are impatient, like me.

Thank you all for the amazing amount of work you do. I am still a noobie and love trying new things with these phones. I have not received an OTA update request yet, but prefer to use the updates you cool Devs come up with instead. So, do i run CWM on this zip or have you updated it since heading home from work?
Thanks much.
Tried to put su and superuser.apk in it and remove the recovery shit before work but ran out of time. Here's the zip for ROMers, I will release a stock update when I get home that's pre-rooted
Inadvertently applied update to my rooted tu... I've lost root, but everything else works and is in place. Wifi works and smooth dragging. Better signal stability. Should I go to the trouble to reverse the update or will Interdpth likely have a root solution?
The thing I am wondering about now is that a lot of us are having issues with the WiFi not working, like me. Except the WiFi will ONLY work on google.com or any of it's tabs on the mobile page. So figure that one out! Also I Odin'd back to 2.3.4 and I noticed my touch screen works like a dream! Not sure if it has to do with it carrying over something from the 2.3.6 update, since I only flashed the recovery, kernel, and system images to it. But the WiFi works fine on 2.3.4 and now my touch screen is MUCH better, still have those pesky CIQ's though!!! So I'm sticking with that until interdpth has a working Odin flash for it. I mainly wanted the update for the screen fix since it use to make playing draw something a pain in the arse! So now it's time to hurry up and wait, like the rest of you
It won't install. It fails the signature check 10% of the way through and when I try it without sig checking it still fails. Please help.
Do you have CWM (clock work mod) installed on your phone? If you have that, you can't install it until interdpth creates a CWM version of the update. If you're really itching to update, follow my instruction on how to Odin your phone back to stock, and then update it from there. These instructions can be found above! Be warned though, having WiFi isn't guaranteed with 2.3.6.......
Yeah I have cwm installed like most of us on these forums. I was thinking it might be a problem with cwm and was planning on odining back to stock and trying to install from stock recovery. It could also be that I have the sprint version of the phone...
Oh didn't see that part. It won't install with cwm. Okay yeah so what I thought was right. Thanks for confirming what I thought.
Also I Odin'd back to 2.3.4 and I noticed my touch screen works like a dream! Not sure if it has to do with it carrying over something from the 2.3.6 update, since I only flashed the recovery, kernel, and system images to it.
Funny think I installed bobs kernel with the touch screen fix. Decided to remove it since I was going to try and odin my phone to stock to get the update and when I restored my phone with a stock backup I had my touch screen still works fine as well. I think also since the screen works well still I will just wait for a cwm update as well. Just wish I understood the screen working so well.
i was going to look around the forums to see if anyone else came up with a root for the tu to ask them to help inerdpth but he is the only person that came up with the roots XD
Can anyone help? My ID shortcut on the bottom of my homescreen doesn't change from white to orange like my wife's does and pretty much everyone I speak and this this is after updating to 2.3.6. My phone was rooted on 2.3.4 and before I updated I forgot to delete superuser.apk, so it showed up in my apps after the update and I could not get rid of since my phone was no longer rooted. I now just tried panaphobic tutorial in hopes that I could fully unroot the phone and re-update it and my ID logo would flash the white and orange. What's wrong with my phone. Is that something I can fix? Please help

OK so check this out. My phone has been real glitchy over the last few days so I finally had enough this morning and figured what the hell. So I did the ota update and waited for my phone to turn back to the lame thing that is the stock tu. Funny thing is nothing happened! I'm still rooted, $hevron 5.3 is still there (even though it doesn't show up in about phone), bobs kernel is still there. Android version is 2.3.4. I'm really confused on this one. When I went to system updates in setting it shows that my phone is up to date. I'm not having any problems right now, just curious is all. Trying to understand these fickle devices a little better.
Did same, but now my GPS system is not working. No apps that use GPS will work. Don't know what to do to fix this....

Thank You. So I'm guessing that is not uncommon? Is there anything else that might of been negatively effected that I have not noticed?
