Samsung Galaxy Prevail ODIN Recovery To Stock ED13 Rooted & Unrooted (HD) - YouTube
^^Watch video and read description (i did not creat this and take no credit just wanna help:] thank topic
 
>.> nice video, i actually have a very long tutorial on teh indulge forums on how to use odin and heimdall, the reason why i didnt post it here? cuz only half of it applies. so im glad someone is trying :) i think murderousone made one as well
question for you, I got a friend that just got an indulge he may want some info, could you pm a link?

Also any idea how to manually update the prl, tried with cdma workshop and and QPST. on the prevail by the way. and the indulge come to think of it.

when i bricked my phone it wont even go into the boot screen or even turn on. Is this even fixable after this happens?


No, for Odin you need to boot into download mode which you probally can't get to since your phone won't even go to boot screen, you have to get a new phone and just not use ROM Manager anymore ;) your best bet is if it hasnt been 30 days since you bought it claim a manufacturing malfunction, if its been more than 30 save up $70 and buy one through insurance and if you don't have insurance, well you get the point...

If your screen says downloading on it then you can use the odin to stock
