Root OH CRAP I SCREWED MY PHONE UP!!! recovery guide.

ukrkoz · Sep 9, 2012

1. Flash stock ec09 in odin (pda section), with pit (this will wipe)

Both at them same time?

2. After phone reboots, place ec09 deodexed on sdcard, then reboot into download mode.
3. Flash recovery in odin (pda section) no pit, and auto reboot unchecked

you mean - this: Ec09 deodexed, rooted (recovery)
http://ubuntuone.com/3qamjuePP9HeY9R8oXZea4 ??

Then what do I place onto SD card? Same file?

4. After you get "pass" and "rqt closed" in dialog box, unplug.
5. Pull battery, replace, and boot into recovery.

That's where I had trouble so far, as it boots into recovery mode where power button does not work.
6. Nandroid backup, then flash ec09 deodexed.
7. Wipe dalvik and cache

Ok. Here is the link to recovery (odin)
1. http://ubuntuone.com/02YXcAMWNUSasrSsjgUeKk

Stock ec09(odin)
2. http://ubuntuone.com/6rdDjiMOg45U8YHK3Oo9uW

Pit file(odin)
3. http://ubuntuone.com/2qtwgyRGYPLK10N2u5fN1J

Ec09 deodexed, rooted (recovery)
4. http://ubuntuone.com/3qamjuePP9HeY9R8oXZea4

What's the difference between #1 and #4? both say recovery. Do I do #1, followed by #2 + #3 same tine?

not to be a prick - THANK YOU.

#1 is cwm recovery, to be flashed in odin.
#4 is a deodexed, rooted version of the Rom, to be flashed in recovery.
The part in parentheses is telling what to flash it in. And no worries. I shot you a pm with my number, if you want it
Yes, #w and #3 are placed in odin at the same time. Rom in pda and pit in pit section
Oh, and you put #4 on the sdcard

ukrkoz · Sep 9, 2012

I get it. Do Odin full recovery #1 plus #3 simultaneously
Install CWM recover via odin
place deodexed somewhere on sd card, and flash it from cwm recovery; my only concern is that, so far, power button produces no function in recovery mode and phone gets stuck in it, and I have to do over via Odin to unlock it again.
Thanks, brother. Really appreciate ph # offer, I know you, you are always helpful. Be well.

All correct, but first step is 2&3, not 1&3

ukrkoz · Sep 9, 2012

come to think, it's very easy, as there are only 2 tar. files, and one of them is clearly CWM, so it's hard to miss; only one pit file; and only one zip file, which is normally set on SD card anyway. Odin even opens it all in correct order.
Well, flashing as I type.

Where are you getting the mounting error?

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

After Odin, runs of if I hit Vol up/down plus power.

Thx's for your quick response

Well it boot normally?

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

txwolf1980 · Sep 17, 2012

Yes

From the looks of it, your/dbdata is corrupted. Have you tried repartitioning? If you have a corrupted block on your internal sd card, repositioning is the only way I know of to fix it.

Make sure your usb, and micro usb port are both good. Keep in mind, you will lose all data (except what is on your removable sdcard), but I'm sure that is already done, if you've flashed in Odin.

Use the files, and steps laid out a few posts up from yours (when I was helping ukroz). That will put you on the latest firmware.

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

I agree with you on the corruption, but I have not been able to get it to load with Re-Repartition checked. I tried so many variation, I'll try it again. Some Roms I've tried cause the phone to stop loading.

Thank You

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

Ok, that didn't work

Biggest problem from this is internal space reads " 0.00B
which doesn't allow additional apps to be loaded

I've seen this problem, but no answers

Thx;s

What pit file are you using?

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT .pit

txwolf1980 · Sep 17, 2012

ruger95 said:
Samsung_I500_VZW_PIT .pit

That's odd. And you are using this with the ec09 Odin? Try downloading the pit again

ruger95 · Sep 17, 2012

I just did

I think this phone is somehow it's corrupted and will not overwrite or wipe it' self out

I only started down this path when the phone just stopped working it was stuck on the Samsung screen

I'll re-flash again

Thx's

If that doesn't work, try same pit with the ec07 rel production.tar...

txwolf1980 · Sep 18, 2012

The other option, if neither of those work, is Heimdall. There is a tutorial in the dev database on xda.

ruger95 · Sep 18, 2012

I ran 1 rom through it sucessfully however the phone wouldn't turn on
Could you point me to any?

Thx's
